Looking back on 2012
Editor's note: This is the fourth in a series focusing on the events in and around Bureau County in 2012.
Aug. 2: There's more water problems in Spring Valley, as the city's back-up well is showing signs of bacteria. The area drought may be worsening the situation, according to city engineer Jack Kusek. The well isn't used on a regular basis, but the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency still requires the water to be bacteria-free, he says. The city will continue to work on getting clean samples from the back-up well.
Aug. 4: The bad news for Bureau County farmers is the drought continues. The good news is at least Bureau County has now joined the ranks of those counties designated eligible for federal drought assistance. Gov. Pat Quinn announces the U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared 98 of 102 Illinois counties, including Bureau, as disaster areas. The designation means federal disaster assistance is now available to help farmers in drought-stricken areas.
Aug. 7: The Bureau/Putnam County Health Department is awarded a $74,388 grant from the "We Choose Health" program sponsored by the Illinois Department of Public Health. The grant money is expected to be used to promote healthy eating and active living programs in area schools, to promote work site wellness through policy developments, and to work to support further policies to limit smoking in outdoor spaces such as parks and campuses.
Aug. 9: The Princeton City Council continues to discuss the best way to market Princeton's logistic center/commercial park. The Chicago-based firm of Lee & Associates of Illinois is currently handling the marketing of the 133-acre logistics center, which is listed at $40,000 per acre. Commissioner Joel Quiram says the price is too high. City Manager Jeff Clawson says he has formed an economic team to look at marketing and other economic issues.
Aug. 11: Discussion continues on the clean-up of DePue's Superfund site with DePue Mayor Eric Bryant saying the responsible parties are irresponsible. ExxonMobil and CBS have been identified by the Environmental Protection Agency as the two companies responsible for the clean-up.

The Legend of Love
Cantonese - Ngau Long Jik Nui
Cast: Deric Wan Siu Lun, Sonija Kwok Sin Nei, Stephen Au Kam Tong, Leila Tong Ling, Rain Lau Yuk Chui, Liu Kai Chi, Angela Tong Ying Ying, Peter Lai Pei Tak
The legend tells that every year on the seventh day of the seventh month in the lunar calender, the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl will meet on the Bridge of Birds in the Milky Way. This romantic date on the Seventh day holds behind it an ill-fated love affair between an immortal and a human.
In the heavenly palace, the weaving girl (Sonija Kwok) is responsible for weaving the colourful clouds, but she accidentally drops the cloud loom shuttle into the mortal world and this is seen by the Jade Empress, who sends Weaving Girl and her friend Magpie (Leila Tong) down to the mortal world to find the shuttle. Weaving girl meets with Cowherd (Deric Wan) on the earth and he works hard to make her a new shuttle, she falls in love with him and always sneaks away to go and meet with him. This is discovered by the Jade Empress and Weaving Girl is called back urgently to the heavens. She will not let go of her true love and would rather let go of everything in the immortal world and become a mortal, but finds that Cowherd has had his memories wiped clean by the Empress...
On the other hand, Magpie wants to become immortal more quickly so she steals the fortune cloth from the fortune god Bei Gon (Stephen Au) and sets about helping the poor people to reap their reverence. Bei Gon finds out and reports back to the Heavenly Palace and thus becomes enemies with Magpie, who finds out that he is without a heart and gives him the heart of a wolf as a joke. After this, Bei Gon's personality changes and he constantly works against the Cowherd and Weaving Girl. Magpie realises she has caused trouble and calls for help from the Seven-tailed Fox to retrieve Bei Gon's "Seven Skilled Heart".
Cowherd and Weaving Girl finally meet again in the mortal world, but are almost left with nothing after the interventions of Bei Gon. Weaving Girl is not prepared to see Cowherd's family suffer and bears her pain to return to the heavens. Magpie sees this and calls up her friends to form the Bridge of Birds, allowing the two lovers to meet once a year on the bridge...

Find the Light
Cantonese: Ying Hung Do Siu Nin
Cast: Damian Lau Chung Yan, Maggie Siu Mei Kei, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Shirley Yeung Sze Ki, Tavia Yeung Yi, Leila Tong Ling
True friends are hard to find and those who can give themselves to be a friend are even more of a rarity. Because of this, Qing citizen Wong Ng (Ron Ng) and Tam Chi Tung (Bosco Wong) form a friendship that is often revered by later generations.
Ng has always found studying the classical texts as hard work and is sent by his mother Wong Yuen Yi (Maggie Siu) to a martial arts academy to learn how to plant his feet on the ground. At the school, Ng meets Tung who joined the academy after running away from a marriage. Tung is a master of literature so with one action and one scholarly, they complement each other. Under the careful instruction of their master Chan Do Yeung (Damian Lau) not only do they learn some superior martial arts skills, they also develop a bold martial honour to uphold justice as the three build a strong teacher-pupil relationship. In order to escape from his wife Lee Kwai (Tavia Yeung), Tung joined the school, but whilst he is there, he meets with Princess Cheuk Lan (Shirley Yeung). However she only has eyes for Ng.
After leaving the academy and under the assistance of Yeung, Ng reopens his father's courier business, implementing some changes to rescue the country and its citizens. At this time he upsets the local power Wing Luk and meets with his attacks and pressure. Tung fails in the official circles and returns disapppointed when he realises that Kwai has never given up on his and the couple decide to work hard and build a future.
Tung and Ng each find their paths in life and the friendship they have built in their youth does not change. Many years later, the political scene changes and they are both captured, Ng gives his life to rescue Tung...

Yau Han (Bobo Chan) is the daughter of the team's creator and is always arguing with her long separated sister Yau Wing (Leila Tong). Han and Wing both fall in love with with their team mate Lok (Edwin Siu) and start an interesting triangular romance.

Cast: Roger Kwok Chun On, Joey Yung Cho Yee, Kevin Cheng Ka Wing, Tiffany Lam Man Li, Victoria Jolly, Lee Si Jeet, Liu Kai Chi, Belinda Hamnett
As the saying goes, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and there has never been a standard for beauty or ugliness. However, the word 'beautiful' has never been used to describe Woo Man Shui (Joey Yung). Even at work, Shui's hard work is like her appearance, it has never been noticed by anyone around her. Fortunately she is happy and optimistic and she continues contributing in silence. Shui lives in hope that her efforts will be appreciated by her boss Ngo Mei Dat (Belinda Hamnett) but before this chance arrives, a new boss takes over in the form of Guo Siu Jeet (Roger Kwok).
Jeet appears handsome and pleasant on the outside, but in reality, he is selfish and egotistical, gaining by creating losses for others. He offers ideas to the company's owner Fok Wai Shun (Kevin Cheng), telling him to rid the company of ugly girls. Shui bears the brunt of the criticism and leaves the company with some animoscity. Bad luck comes all at once as she is also dumped by her boyfriend for being ugly! Shui falls back on the comfort that she still has a warm and loving family to go back to and shield her from the storms outside, but when she goes home, she finds...
At this point, Shui cannot face this smiling any more and she makes a decision to go for cosmetic surgery to try and turn her luck around. However the bad luck continues and her operation fails, sending her into a coma. In Limbo, Shui feels really hard done by and asks the heavens to offer her a fair chance. Eventually, she is allowed to return to earth with a pretty face on the condition that she must fulfil Jeet's wish to successfully pursue rich girl Cheuk Nam (Tiffany Lam) within three months, otherwise...

Wow! This series sounds great. Wonder when the poster is going to come out. Joyce and Marco's plot seem to be more interesting, especially since Joyce will be pregnant and Marco will die in this series. Since the synopsis is already out, the series should be out in mid-September. Can't wait to see it!

Silver (very short-term)
Silver's trading range should narrow even more, and possibly with a slightly weaker bias, in New York.
Price Drivers
The attention of the financial world is on the auction of Spanish debt today to see if they will be favored by the markets or contagion bites further with a higher yield being paid by Spain. The Eurozone's future direction should become clearer after the announcement of the winner of the French Presidential elections. The Socialist M. Hollande favors strong moves to growth, while President Sarkozy has made his position more than clear by his performance over the last few years.
However the gold and silver markets are dancing to another tune, as traders in New York tried to knock gold down yet again [down to $1,645] before having to drive it back up to $1,666, finishing stronger than the day before. The tussle between buyers and sellers is getting tighter and tighter. Readers must decide if this is just a short-term consolidation or whether it is the culmination of the many months long consolidation that we have seen over that time.
The Indian Rupee continues to weaken and gold demand from India remains muted as a result. May 5th sees the government decide whether to raise duties on gold coming into India or to leave them alone. Indications from the termination of the jeweler's strike are that the government won't raise them, but we are talking about politicians here, so we wait to see. If duties are held at present levels there may well be a jump in demand. But we feel that the weak Rupee has more to do with Indian demand than this issue.
As we saw in March the demand from central banks comes in in a weak market, so investors banking on a fall in the gold and silver prices should be cautiously aware of this feature of the gold market.

Last September, in a private dining room on the waterfront overlooking San Francisco's Bay Bridge, the official announcement was made. Every last permit was in hand, and $5.5 million of the $8 million in private money needed had been largely raised. The Bay Lights — the artist Leo Villareal's installation of almost 25,000 individual white lights along the suspension cables of the bridge connecting San Francisco to Oakland via Treasure Island — would shine by next March. Villareal's canvas would be nearly two miles long, and an estimated 50 million people would see it in person after it flickers to life.
Ostensibly the Bay Lights is a celebration of the Bay Bridge's 75th birthday. When it first opened in November 1936, the bridge was hailed as an engineering wonder — but only for about six months, when it was overshadowed by the opening of the more glamorous Golden Gate Bridge. Yet the Bay Bridge is longer, stronger and carries more traffic than its more famous sister.
"We are Cinderella and we have ashes on our cheeks and we work really really hard," Ben Davis, the man behind the Bay Lights, told me. "Wouldn't it be nice just for a moment to put on a gown and be the belle of the ball?"
Davis, an elegant 52-year-old man who was overseeing the event, ushered a parade of dignitaries up to the podium, eloquent speeches in hand. The former Mayor of San Francisco (and current Lieutenant Governor of California) Gavin Newsom exulted: "Paris, eat your heart out. I love the Eiffel Tower, but we have the Bay Bridge, and it ain't so bad!" Read more…


text: Home Culture Baldwin's Harlem Comes to London A production of The Amen Corner has enthralled Britain with its universal themes on religion. By: Lindsay Johns Posted: July 9 2013 12:29 AM 0 Lucian Msamati as Luke and Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Sister Margaret (Richard Hubert Smith) (The Root) -- Harlem has come to London, and what a marvelous spectacle it is to behold. To be precise, it is James Baldwin's Harlem of 1953 -- complete with haunting, sensual jazz music, uplifting Pentecostal songs and the majestic cadences of evangelical oratory -- that has the South Bank completely enthralled. Baldwin's The Amen Corner, his debut 1954 play based in part on his own years as a teenage Pentecostal preacher, has been given new life in a magisterial production at London's National Theatre, led by acclaimed British director Rufus Norris and starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste (the Oscar-nominated black British actress famous for her role in CBS's Without a Trace). It is the story of Sister Margaret, a domineering Harlem pastor and tyrannical matriarch whose grip on her ebullient congregation is suddenly challenged when her errant husband, Luke, a jazz musician, unexpectedly returns after a decade away and her dutiful-but-frustrated 18-year-old son, David, seeks to shun the church and become a musician like his father. There are bravura performances all around, especially from Lucian Msamati as Luke, who masterfully captures the braggadocio, effortless cool and gloriously unrepentant joie de vivre of the dying musician who wants to be reunited with his wife. Jean-Baptiste, too, is exceptional and brings deft emotional nuances to the role of Margaret, oscillating between smug, sanctified certainty and the heartrending pathos of recapturing a love she had abandoned in favor of God. Despite being a searing critique of the role of the church in African-American society, Baldwin's work never denies the very real power of religion to uplift downtrodden, oppressed people or the genuine solace and consolation that it can offer. Trenchantly condemning religious hypocrisy as well as skillfully addressing notions of the pulpit as pure theater, Baldwin presents us with marvelously delineated characters who display the very unholy traits of sanctimonious bigotry and Machiavellian one-upmanship while jostling for power within the church. Given the explosion of both Christian spiritual zeal and Muslim fervor sweeping black communities this side of the pond, due in part to the growth of the African population of the past 20 years, this is undoubtedly a very timely and relevant production for British audiences. Like all great drama, The Amen Corner is both specific to its 1950s Harlem milieu and wholly timeless and universal. With the possible exceptions of Langston Hughes and Chester Himes, no other writer is as synonymous with Harlem as James Baldwin. He possessed a very palpable love-hate relationship with black America's spiritual mecca in New York City, and the paradoxical notion of freedom-in-exile thoroughly imbues this play. Harlem made Baldwin. It nurtured him and fashioned him -- intellectually, artistically, socially and sexually -- and yet he yearned to escape its clutches, seeking racial dignity and artistic freedom in Paris. When Luke joyfully tells Margaret that their son has finally managed to escape her overbearing clutches and declares, "He's in the world. He's living," it is a resolutely life-affirming, poignant moment and one in which Baldwin's humanism emerges triumphant. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

This website has been developed for you to learn more about the food service establishments in Pasadena from the perspective of safe food handling. Food establishments that sell or serve food to the public must get an annual permit and be inspected by the Pasadena Public Health Department/Environmental Health Division. These food establishments include restaurants, fast food establishments, food and espresso carts, bakeries, coffee bars, delis, the fresh food sections in grocery stores, bars/pubs, retail food markets, liquor stores and more. There are nearly 1,000 permitted food service establishments in Pasadena. The majority of these food establishments are inspected throughout the year. The purpose of the inspections is to assure that the food is being handled properly from preparation through serving. Health Inspectors observe kitchen workers' food handling practices, assure equipment is working properly, take food temperatures, inspect refrigerators and storage areas, assure water temperatures, and correct level and use of sanitizers. Any problem found is written up, and the manager is taught the correct procedure or method immediately. At this website you can view the date of the most recent health inspection of an establishment, the results of that inspection, and the score assigned to the establishment based on the inspection results. The scoring system is based upon 100 weighted points distributed over 80 different violations that summarize all the health and sanitation regulations, from food protection to conditions of walls and floors. Critical violations (a provision that, if violated, is more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination, illness and/or injury) are assigned a higher weighted point value than non-critical violations. Critical violations are listed on the inspection report. The score is obtained by subtracting the sum of the weighted points assigned to each category where a violation has been found from the total of 100 points.

So, apparently Football Outsiders has predicted the Chiefs will win the AFC West. I havent had much time to dedicate to watching the NFL this year (too busy with working and coaching) so I cannot put in my two cents. I hope they are right of course, but form what I read the defense needs some more work before we win anything. Here is the link:
On another note, apparently John Lynch likes our defense:HTML Code:http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/16365/chiefs-get-major-endorsement

I've been battling monsters in the lives of my children since they were very young.
As a preschooler, my son developed a fierce aversion to an antique chest that sat at the top of our stairs. He would slowly climb the stairs until he reached the top step, then speed up, dash by the chest and dart to his destination.
Initial attempts to understand and eliminate his fear were unsuccessful. "I don't like the monster," he'd say.
When I told him the chest wasn't a monster and he had no reason to be scared, he responded with silence and shrugs
More than a decade and two houses later, the chest now sits in our dining room, and my teenage son isn't afraid of it. But he does remember his fear, and he recently reminded me of it during a family dinner.
"I never knew why you were so afraid," I said.
"It kind of looked like a face, he replied. "And one night I had a dream that it came alive and chased me. Every time I looked at it, I saw the monster. You tried to tell me it wasn't a monster, but I just knew it was. I'd seen it."
He laughed and went back to his food.
I couldn't laugh. I knew exactly what he meant.
As a parent, I'm well aware of the fear monsters can elicit. I also know there are people who will insist they don't exist.
Just yesterday, Craig Weintraub, an attorney for the Cleveland man charged with kidnapping Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina Dejesus, described his client. "The initial portrayal by the media has been one of a 'monster' and that's not the impression that I got when I talked to him for three hours."
I know that Weintraub has to paint his client in the best light possible, but I wonder if he has a daughter. If he does, I don't know how he could utter those words. Even my usually calm and rational husband lost his cool as he watched the story unfold in the newsroom where he works.
All he could think about was our 11-year-old daughter. Giles is not generally overprotective, but last week he had a hard time letting Kendall out of his sight.
I understood his reaction, but I don't believe that it was helpful. Being overprotective creates a heightened sense of fear, and I don't want any of us, particularly my children, going through life believing fear is the most effective response to monsters.
The world is a phenomenal, beautiful and interesting place, and I want my children to explore it as much as possible. But the world is also a dangerous place, and I don't want them to be too trusting.
There's probably only so much we as parents can do anyway.
My son was only three years-old and my daughter wasn't even three weeks-old on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. They've grown up in a society darkened by the shadow of fear, yet they have blossomed and grown strong anyway.
I've grown too. I'm not the same mom who unsuccessfully told her son not to be afraid of what he perceived to be a monster. I'm now the mom who acknowledges monsters and the fact that we can't always recognize them at first. But I'm also the mom who does her best to give her children the information and tools to fight their fears and the monsters.
I wish I'd mastered the art of teaching them to be cautious without teaching them to be afraid, but I know I haven't. But I am starting to master my fear that they are unprepared to face the monsters in their lives.

Types of Treatment
Watch the Cancer.Net Video: Types of Cancer Treatment, with Sundar Jagannath, MD [2], adapted from this content.
The cancer treatment options your doctor recommends depends on the type and stage of cancer, possible side effects, and the patient's preferences and overall health. In cancer care, different types of doctors often work together to create a patient's overall treatment plan that combines different types of treatments. This is called a multidisciplinary team [3].
Treatment overview
The most common cancer treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These therapies may be used either alone or in combination with other therapies. Palliative treatment is treatment given to relieve symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment, such as pain. Other cancer treatment options include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, and stem cell/bone marrow transplantation. More information on each of these treatments is below. Or, find more details about treatment for a specific type of cancer [4].
In addition, patients are encouraged to consider clinical trials when making treatment plan decisions. A clinical trial is a research study to test a new treatment to prove it is safe, effective, and possibly better than the standard treatment. Your doctor can help you review all clinical trial options. Learn more about clinical trials [5].
The first treatment a person is given is called first-line therapy. If that treatment stops working, then a person receives second-line therapy (and in some situations, third-line therapy may be available). Adjuvant therapy is treatment that is given after the first treatment (such as chemotherapy after surgery). Neoadjuvant therapy is treatment that is given before the primary treatment (such as radiation therapy before surgery).
Before beginning treatment, consider asking the doctor about the goals of treatment, how long the treatment will take, and the potential side effects. Knowing what to expect before treatment begins helps reduce any fear and anxiety you may be feeling about your cancer treatment plan. Find more questions to ask the doctor [6]. It is also important that people with cancer and their families feel comfortable about their doctor and his or her recommended treatment plan. It is always appropriate to seek a second opinion [7].
Surgery is the removal of the tumor and surrounding tissue during an operation. It is the primary treatment for many types of cancer, and some cancers can be completely removed with surgery alone. A surgical oncologist is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer using surgery. Surgery may also be used to confirm a diagnosis (such as with a surgical biopsy [8]), find out the extent of the cancer (called staging [9]), and relieve side effects (such as removing an obstruction to ease pain). Read more about cancer surgery [10].
Some types of surgery are performed in a clinic or doctor's office instead of the hospital, and the patient returns home the same day. This is called outpatient surgery. Most cancer surgeries, though, are performed in a hospital and the patient must stay at the hospital at least overnight; this is called in-patient surgery. Before any type of surgery, consider preparing a list of questions for the surgeon and review the details of how to best prepare for the surgery. Find out more of what to expect during surgery.
The side effects of surgery depend on the type of surgery and the overall health of the person before surgery. A common side effect is pain [11], and doctors have ways to provide relief when pain and other side effects occur in most people.
Radiation treatment
Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy x-rays or other particles to kill cancer cells.
A doctor who specializes in giving radiation therapy to treat cancer is called a radiation oncologist. The most common type of radiation treatment is called external-beam radiation therapy, which is radiation given from a machine outside the body. When radiation treatment is given using implants, it is called internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy. Proton therapy [12] (also called proton beam therapy) is a type of external-beam radiation therapy that uses protons rather than x-rays. At high energy, protons can destroy cancer cells. A radiation therapy regimen (schedule) usually consists of a specific number of treatments given over a set period of time. Learn more about radiation therapy [13].
Radiation therapy is considered a local treatment, as it only affects one part of the body. The goals of radiation therapy include shrinking the tumor before surgery, keeping the tumor from returning after surgery, eliminating cancer cells in other parts of the body, and relieving pain.
Before beginning external-beam radiation therapy, the doctor will plan where to aim the radiation to destroy as much of the tumor as possible while minimizing the exposure of healthy tissue. A person's skin may be marked to show where the radiation will be directed. New computerized techniques help pinpoint the best place to give the radiation. Read more about what to expect when receiving radiation therapy [14] and frequently asked questions about radiation therapy [15].
Side effects of radiation treatment
Side effects from radiation therapy may include fatigue, mild skin reactions, upset stomach, and loose bowel movements. Internal radiation therapy may cause bleeding, infection, or irritation after the implant is removed. Radiation treatment does not make a person radioactive. Most side effects go away soon after treatment is finished. Learn more about the side effects effects of radiation therapy [16].
Some people, especially children and young adults, may experience long-term side effects from external-beam radiation therapy. People who receive radiation therapy should keep a record of their radiation treatment schedule (including the dose and location of the radiation) and report it as part of their medical history. Long-term side effects may include the risk of a second cancer, infertility (the inability to father a child or maintain a pregnancy), heart problems (from radiation to the chest), gastrointestinal problems (from radiation to the abdominal area), lung fibrosis (scarring or thickening of the lung tissue), neurologic problems, thyroid problems, or osteoporosis (thinning of the bones).
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells, usually by stopping the cancer cells' ability to grow and divide. Systemic chemotherapy is delivered through the bloodstream to reach cancer cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy is given by a medical oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with medication or a hematologist, a doctor who specializes in treating blood disorders. A chemotherapy regimen (schedule) usually consists of a specific number of cycles given over a set period of time. A patient may receive one drug at a time or combinations of different drugs at the same time. Learn more about what chemotherapy is [17] and preparing for treatment [18].
Side effects of chemotherapy
The side effects of chemotherapy depend on the individual and the dose used, but they can include fatigue, risk of infection, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. These side effects usually go away once treatment is finished. However, doctors have made major strides in recent years in reducing many side effects. Before treatment begins, talk with your doctor or nurse about the possible side effects of the specific type and dose of chemotherapy you've been prescribed and how to prevent or relieve side effects if they do occur. Find out more about the side effects of chemotherapy [19] and ways to manage common side effects [20].
Once treatment is finished, ask your doctor or nurse for a summary of your treatment, such as the drugs and doses used, and any side effects you experienced. Having this information will help a doctor determine if a future health problem is related to the cancer treatment. Learn more about the late effects of cancer treatment [21].
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets the cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. This type of treatment blocks the growth and spread of cancer cells while limiting damage to normal cells, usually leading to fewer side effects than other cancer medications.
Recent studies show that not all tumors have the same targets. To find the most effective treatment, your doctor may run tests to identify the genes, proteins, and other factors in your tumor. As a result, doctors can better match each patient with the most effective treatment whenever possible. In addition, many research studies are taking place now to find out more about specific molecular targets and new treatments directed at them. Learn more about targeted treatments [22].
Targeted treatments often have specific side effects involving the skin, hair, and nails or other areas of the body. Learn more about skin reaction to targeted therapies [23]. Talk with your doctor about what side effects to expect and how to manage them.
Immunotherapy (also called biologic therapy) is designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. It uses materials made either by the body or in a laboratory to bolster, target, or restore immune system function. The side effects of immunotherapy generally include flu-like symptoms, such as chills, nausea, and fever. Immunotherapy also includes cancer vaccinesâan investigational approach to helping the immune system fight cancer. Learn more about immunotherapy [24].
Hormonal therapy
Several types of cancer, including some breast and prostate cancers, only grow and spread in the presence of natural chemicals in the body called hormones. Hormonal therapy treats cancer by lowering the amounts of hormones in the body. It is usually used to treat cancers of the prostate, breast, thyroid, and reproductive system. As with any treatment, hormonal therapy has side effects, and most of these go away after a person finishes treatment. However, the side effects depend on the drug used and often affect men and women differently. Refer to individual Cancer Type [4] sections for more information about hormonal therapy and specific side effects.
Stem cell/bone marrow transplantation
A stem cell transplant is a medical procedure in which diseased bone marrow is replaced by highly specialized cells, called hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are found both in the bloodstream and in the bone marrow. Today, this procedure is more commonly called a stem cell transplant, rather than bone marrow transplant, because it is the blood stem cells that are typically being transplanted, not the actual bone marrow tissue.
Before recommending transplantation, doctors will talk with the patient about the risks of this treatment and consider several other factors, such as the type of cancer, results of any previous treatment, and the patient's age and general health. Read more about bone marrow and stem cell transplantation [25] and the side effects of this treatment [26].
Palliative care
In addition to treatment to slow, stop, or eliminate the cancer (also called disease-directed treatment), an important part of cancer care is relieving a person's symptoms and side effects. It includes supporting the patient with his or her physical, emotional, and social needs, an approach called palliative or supportive care [27]. People often receive disease-directed therapy and treatment to ease symptoms at the same time. Regardless of a patient's treatment plan, it is important to discuss any supportive care needs with the health care team. They are there to help ease symptoms, such as pain, but they need to know what the patient's concerns are to be the most effective.

Marketing. It's something we (obviously) love and believe in. Wholeheartedly.
In this episode of The Digital Exec, we sit down with Greg Crabtree, author, speaker and consultant, to discuss the concept of marketing and money.
If you're wanting to dip your toe in marketing waters but just aren't sure how much you should spend, this episode is for you. We cover topics ranging from why companies underspend on marketing to how most businesses are the same and more. If you want to know more about seeing marketing as a process and how to implement it within your business, you'll want to listen!
Michael Reynolds: Okay, we're live. Michael Reynolds here with Spinweb with episode number 8 of the Digital Exec. I'm here with Greg Crabtree. Greg, how are you today?
Greg Crabtree: Pretty good. Thanks for having me.
Michael Reynolds: Great. So glad you're here, Greg. You and I met at a recent conference, the Digital Mastermind Conference in Vegas. I read your book, Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits! This book is phenomenal. It has three of my favorite things. First of all, one thing is simple. I like simple, especially when it comes to Math. I love straight talk. I love telling it like it is and being very open, blunt, and honest, and getting to the issues. Of course, who doesn't like big profits? Again, three of my favorite things. To those who are watching or listening, go get a copy right now. Even if you stop watching this and don't ever watch the show again, go buy this book. It is phenomenal.
You're the author of this book. You own a very successful CPA firm. You're a speaker. You're a consultant. You help businesses basically get their financials in order in a very simple, successful, no-nonsense common sense way that leads to big profits. Is that correct?
Greg Crabtree: Yeah, that's correct. I think the big thing that MicroFlash was missing for the years that I was in it, you kept thinking there's got to be something more here. When I started looking at it, and I start asking the question why. Why do we do this? Why do we have to produce financials? Those people think, oh we got to produce financials to get a loan. What if, just think crazy here, what if you produce financials to make a profit?
That's really the whole purpose behind the data, is telling you information that you need to know to change your actions to what is necessary to run a profitable business. We basically flipped it around and said, "You know, filling out tax returns and doing financial statements are well and good, but at the end of the day, our main purpose is to help you run a profitable business that causes tax implications from that profitability. Once we clear the tax implications, what you have left over, you build wealth with. Just as much as you said people love to make profits, I think there's very few people that don't want to have the opportunity to build wealth with their efforts.
Michael Reynolds: Your book really changed my business. I'm still working through a lot of the exercises you're outlining there. Already, I'm seeing tremendous results. I really appreciate that. I'm going to be spending a lot more time digging through it.
First of all, let me just give your website quickly for those who want to check it online. Seeingbeyondnumber.com. They can find you there. Your CPA, your consulting firm is there. Your book is there. Lots of information there. Definitely go there and check out more information on Greg as we talk, or afterwards.
Greg, the specific topic I want to cover today is marketing spend. In your book and in your presentation, you highlighted a specific ratio, you say, that you like to see companies spending about 2-5% of their annual revenue on marketing. Is that correct?
Greg Crabtree: Correct, yeah. One of the things that we get the fortune of doing is we get to look into the intimate details of hundreds of businesses all across the US, some in Canada, and some even in other countries. What's interesting is you start to see that for all that people think business is different, no, it's really the same.
The first key is understanding is all revenue real? When I went through the presentation at our event, I talked to people about using this example. It's actually on page 22 on the book. Comparing a $20 million construction company to a $3,750,000 services business. I contend those two business are exactly the same from an economic perspective. In reality, the direct cost that are not built around labor, materials, subcontractors are the two primary things, any of those direct project cost is such that those are really pass throughs.
If you have a high, high pass through-oriented business like a construction business, I contend that they really don't sell materials. They're just the purveyor of making sure the right materials were purchased and delivered to the site and used properly. They don't do the things that the subcontractors do. They actually just organize who does it and have to stand behind their work. There's a little bit of risk. At the end of the day, they don't pay their subcontractors typically until they get paid. They typically take a draw against the project to pay for the materials. There's no economic risk or no cash flow risk in the process.
As we're studying these concepts and looking at businesses from completely divergent industries, we said if we fail to route all of these direct costs and get down to our definition of gross profit, and then you start looking at those business from there down as if they were the same. It is amazing, the similarities across industries as to how these businesses look. Then, you start breaking it down. What are the functional elements of how that business works? Obviously, direct labor is the first big key of driving the business. Obviously, the thing is, you got to have a marketing engine. If a business has minor direct cost, we want to see 2 - 5% of marketing as a percentage of revenue. If you've got one of those high pass through businesses, we want to see that 2 - 5% of marketing spend as a percentage of gross profit. The exception is, typically, you're seeing some online business. They get up closer to 10 - 12%.
The theory behind that is, this is really where the fallacy was when people started creating online businesses and thinking, oh well, you don't have any bricks and mortar. You ought to be just phenomenally profitable. Guess what? What people started to realize is that physical location that had a sign on it was actually some marketing value. People saw you. They noticed you. You're part of their routine. People will see you. To a large degree, all these companies started to realize that to stay relevant, they had to spend what they were going to spend on facilities, they had to now spend on marketing. That shift occurred.
Michael Reynolds: Why is it that- this is a topic that I'm really interested in. I see a lot of these $50 million a year companies, for example. Ideally, some of them should be spending about a million a year minimum on marketing. It seems like spending $50,000 just blows their minds. They just can't fathom that much spend. Why do so many companies underspend on marketing? Why do we, as a whole, a lot of times seem to devalue it?
Greg Crabtree: There's a lot of brain damage around their efforts of going into it. What they try to do is go in on the cheap. They go in, dip their toe in with no real strategy. I wrote a piece on a blog back in the spring that said, we started analyzing our client base. We found that of our clients that were growing profitably, which meant that they were greater than 5% year over year growth in revenue. They were greater than 10% profitability. The one distinct characteristic of all of those businesses was not the industry they were in. It was the fact that the CEO was spending more than 50% of their time focused on marketing and sales. Primarily marketing, not as much sales. Then, of the companies that we had that were profitably stable, that means it's a company that's plus or minus 5% revenue growth, but they were over 10% profitability.
Overwhelmingly, those CEOs were what we call operations-focused CEOs. They had sold everybody they know. They were focused on operations, and they were stuck. They kept saying, we got to go hire a salesperson. I said, "Listen. It's not about hiring a salesperson. Sales is largely a systemized process of closing a qualified lead. What you don't have are qualified leads. When you think that you're going to solve your problem by taking a salesperson and making them what we call a business developer, what you've done is created the most expensive form of marketing ever created, which is a human walking out, one to one, saying, "Hi. My name is Greg. I sell accounting. Do you need accounting? Please. Please help me do some accounting for you. I sell accounting." That's a business developer. That doesn't translate. You've got to be disciplined to separate the functions and be excellent in each one of those functions.
I'm a big advocate of separating out that marketing function to where it has to have its own focus, its own strategy. It's really the lead horse in the wagon train. If you don't have that, then you may have the best widgets in the world. You may perform the greatest service in the world. Nobody knows about it. Other than you get lucky and you have some good word-of-mouth, that's great. Are you performing up to your potential?
Michael Reynolds: I see this over and over. Companies say, "Well, we want to grow." What do they do? They hire salespeople. They don't think about marketing. You really hit the nail on the head when you say that people do this in reverse. They say, "Oh well, we're going to hire a salesperson to go out there," and like you said, walk into offices. "Oh, do you need x, y, z services." People say no. And they wonder why they're not growing at the rate they would like to, because they don't have qualified leads.
I love the fact that you point out that the first step is really marketing. If sales has nothing to work on, no leads to close, they're going to be very limited in their success. You see that over and over.
Greg Crabtree: Once you warm people up to this idea of marketing, how do you spend it? We believe that it's the moral equivalent of a farmer trying to plant in parched earth. You go out and you pour water on parched earth, it does not sink in. It runs off because it hasn't been conditioned. Marketing has an element that is a lot more farming-oriented in the sense the you have to till the soil. You have to put the right nutrients in it. You got to plant the seed. You got to get the rain. You got to till the weeds. You got to nurture it to then get the harvest. It is one of those things that it is not a one pop, and "Oh, now I'm famous and I'm going to get all these results." You got to do it consistently.
This is my challenge to all the people who sell marketing services. Listen. I know that your motivation, you'd love to sell a $100,000 project. Guess what? Most of your customers who need your services aren't positioned to spend $100,000 all at one time. Our contention is, it probably wouldn't be that much good. What you have to do is come up with a strategic spin. We really like to see companies that strategically spin that fixed percentage on marketing month after month after month. They run different campaigns, but the idea is you're changing it up, you're breaking the ground up, you're getting it loose. You're putting some fertilizer back in it. Throw a little chicken manure in there whenever you can. Really, at the end of the day, what you're trying to do is be consistent and be out there.
You got to change your messages. You can't just say the same thing over and over again, because people get conditioned to it. It's that discipline of having the strategy and then faithfully executing it, and then working with partners who are really good at understanding, "Hey. Here is my spending constraints." I will tell you that all businesses can spend more than they tell you they can spend. Then again, I think part of it is we have to then circle back around what we want to see as result.
People love to measure hits through website and traffic conversions and all these other wonderful detail activity metrics. Here's my litmus test. I'm going to look at the gross profit of the business on a three year rolling six basis. I got to look at the nearer term. I'm taking the last three-month moving average of the company's gross profit, and I'm looking at that trend compared to gross profit minus marketing spend. The idea is I don't want marketing going up like this, or gross profit going up like this. Yet, gross profit minus marketing spend is doing this, or even worse, going down. The idea is, yeah, I can get more traffic. But am I attracting the people that add profitability to my business? Am I attracting the right folks that I'm really trying to aim for as a business. To us, that's the ultimate litmus test. Sometimes, we have to move the time signature to where we may be doing this six-months average of revenue compared to the marketing spend of three to six months ago, depending on how long you think it takes for a conversion and action and all those kind of things.
Typically, if you're not getting in today's world, you're not getting activity within three to six months, you're probably not going to get it. Most of our online businesses, they get some residual impact, but they're seeing a 30-day cycle impact. Those are pretty easy to measure.
Michael Reynolds: There's a few points I'm really glad you touched on. One of them is that we see marketing as a process, not project. You really touched on that when you said that a lot of people would love to spend $100,000 on marketing and call it a big campaign. Really, it's about nurturing month over month. That's what we do in inbound marketing, of course, is we nurture month over month. At the end of the year, you might spend $100,000, but you've spread out over the entire year in farming and planting seeds, and then nurturing those seeds. That's exactly what we like to see.
The other thing you touched on was that it's really the responsibility of marketing and sales both to create the revenue. Marketing can bring traffic. Marketing can bring leads. Marketing can help those leads be qualified and set up for success for the sales team to take over with. The sales team is not running with them and closing them, you got a problem. Really, both sides of the equation have to be working in sync together.
That's one problem we often see is that while they might have a great sales team, but no leads. Or maybe they've invested in marketing, maybe with a company like us. But their salespeople don't know how to close them properly, or don't know how to follow up on the modern end on lead. You got a problem at disconnect.
Greg Crabtree: Whenever I've created a good scenario, it's when I've connected these sales people to the operations people who actually do the work and the marketing people. Everybody's working off the same page. I want the marketing people driving the kind of customer leads to our sales people that these are the optimal-type customers. I also want to make sure those sales people were selling what we do best. They may actually want to get to know the people who do the services to know what we really do best.
Now, I want the people who do the things that we do to make sure that they don't get stuck in their own little world inside the business and say, "Oh, here's what we do. Have you been out in the market lately? Here's what the market's asking for." The marketing and the sales team have to communicate with the operations team to keep them apprised of, this is the trends that are out there.
I'm a full believer that 99% of all businesses operate under one simple economic principle: price-led costing. The market determines the price that it will pay for something, good or service, and you have to make the cost fit and still make a profit. That's a harsh thing. As much as people want to say, "Hey, here's what I want to make. I only want to work this much." That sounds great in a fairytale world. At the end of the day, the market is a cruel task master. Only the best of the best can figure out how to do it, "Hey. Let's have good market-based wages. Let's be the best of the best." There's always going to be 80% that are doing it very poorly. We think it's pretty easy to out-compete just about any industry, if you really get focused. At the end of the day, that team has to be focused on that clear understanding of price-led costing is the dominant economic force in the marketplace in a free market.
Michael Reynolds: How do we get there? I talk to $15 million companies a lot of times. They're not even spending $50,000 a year on marketing. They're not anywhere near this type of spend. How do we get them there? Do we recommend a dramatic shift and restructure the company to do it very quickly? Do you recommend a gradual increase in marketing spend to get there?
Greg Crabtree: Actually, I think it starts with a strategy session, much like the way we work with our clients. We do a financial strategy session that starts every client. At first, we were thinking, well, who would pay for that. We kind of determined it's a necessity. We got to get deep. We got to do this deep dive really quick. We'll make it as fair and practical in pricing as possible. At the end of the day, until we dive inside and see what really makes all the numbers tick and what your history is, then we can lay out a strategy that says, "Now, what's the clear path forward?" I think marketing strategy is exactly in the same in the sense that you got to sit down and say, "Listen. Why are we here?"
There's a great story out there a guy named Kevin Elko talks about, what's your 68, which is a reason why. He tells the story of Jaromir Jagr, who's a hockey player for the Pittsburgh Penguins at the time. They were playing in the 2000 Olympics, and Jagr was a number 68. They're in the silver medal round, and the referee comes in and calls ice time. They're playing the Russians. He stands up and addresses his team, and he says, "Men, I've been waiting for this day all my life. I wear the number 68 because that was the year that the Russians invaded our country. My grandfather lost his life in the invasion. I dedicate this game today to all of our countrymen who lost their life in the invasion. They went out and they annihilated the Russians. They later went and beat the Canadians for the gold medal. They weren't expected to win at all. He had a purpose. He had a why.
We could talk about culture and all those things. Those are the great little sit around the campfire, the kumbayah stories and all that. Realistically, I think you guys in your industry have to tell the story of why do you exist. Why are you passionate about what you do? What problems do you solve in the world because of what you do?
Yeah, you got to make a profit to be sustainable. If you don't, you will be extinct. As you draw the stories out and then replay it, then it's the execution, then, of saying, here's the story we need to tell. Here's the constraint of the available funds to be able to tell that story. That's when they turn to professionals like you guys and say, "Okay.Here's my two constraints." Some of them need to work on a story. You probably want to cross that a few times. There's plenty of businesses, though, that have wonderful stories. They're just not being told. Once you have that story, and we got the constraint of here's the available funds, then you get into solving the problem of saying, "I got to live within these constraints." As you go through cycle to cycle to cycle, if you're successful, there's going to be plenty of funds to continue to tell the story, improve the story, refine the story, and be the one who owns it in the marketplace. That's the ultimate position anybody wants, is to be the owner, to be the thought leader, to be the market leader in whatever it is that you do.
Michael Reynolds: I agree. We seek out organizations that we can really get behind in terms of their story. We really want to work with companies that have a mission, that have a clear story, and that have a clear reason for existing and for serving the marketplace. We really love aligning ourselves with companies that can articulate that story, or let us help them articulate it. I really agree with that asset. What are some of the problems that occur when companies either underspend in marketing, or on the flipside, overspend in marketing?
Greg Crabtree: We've had clients with cases of the overspend. Those don't happen real often. When they do, it's dramatic. They're generating a lot of top-line activity, but just not the profitability. We get them to refocus and listen. Yeah, it's great that you're spending the money. We show them that gross profit minus marketing spend metric. Hey, the line's going down. It's like, hey. You're generating more activity, and the ship's sinking faster. We got to change something.
Nine times out of ten, it's just as simple as getting them to focus on attracting the right customers. We don't win the game by getting the greatest amount of top-line activity. We win the game to get the right amount of gross profit in relationship to net profit. That's the part that has been totally missed in my profession's ability to explain financial information. Once we get them to focus on that, we get a classic case of a client that dropped their marketing spend. They're spending $1.2 million and losing money. We got them to drop back to $900,000. They dropped $2 million in revenue, but they went up $600,000 in profit. Just because they started attracting the right people.
A lot of it is understanding your business matrix,the thing that people get lost in is companies that do many things. It's real easy to say, "Let's do more of many things." Focus is a good thing sometimes. We have this idea. We call it a profit cube. We'll look at a business and say, "Here's the business in total. Here's the business by product, by location, by person, by line of business. You basically are taking the data and rotating it, looking at it and saying where are the opportunities, where are the under performers. The goal is, not sexy, you just try to get the bottom up to the middle. It's less likely that you're going to repeat the top performers as you are to eliminate the bottom performers. If you're pushing topline revenue, all you're doing is generating activity with no real net results. Sometimes, shrinking is the better thing. It's shrinking in a way that is not cost-cutting. It's just eliminating unproductive activity. That's the only thing you need to cut.
In my profession, you can quickly jump in, "Oh, cut this person. Cut that person," I find that most people are actually spending the right amount of money. They're just not getting the right productivity for what they're spending. We talked about our concept of the salary cap that I talked about in the book, in a sense that, hey. I got to get the right amount of output for every dollar of labor spent. I could care less how many heads you have. Body count is irrelevant to me in business. It is about for every dollar of labor that's being spent, what is the output that you get from that.
That's really where that alignment of the marketing team and the sales team and the operations team have to really get those pieces put together and say, "Hey. This is really what's important. Let's make sure we're talking to the right people." I'm sitting on a plane next to any US adult taxpayer, and I know something that can help them. That does not mean they're my customer. That definitely does not mean I want them as a customer. I want entrepreneurs that own businesses. We're going to take care of as much of their financial life as they want us to help them take care of. That's our focus. Somebody who just needs a 1040 done, just because we know how to do it doesn't mean that's what we want to do. Every business has to have that kind of a focus. That's really kind of how you win the game. Or at least what we think it is.
Michael Reynolds: One more question for you. Speaking of people, I'm glad we segued into this. A lot of times, the scenario is that we're working with a company and they have a marketing director. A marketing director is overseeing general marketing strategy, spend, et cetera for the company. We're a piece of that doing digital for them. We're doing inbound marketing. We're doing everything online for them. In some cases, we are the entire marketing system, or we're a big component of the marketing system. When you say, let's say they're spending x amount of dollars for inbound marketing. Do you count the marketing spend as including salaries of the marketing director, for example, or do you treat it separately?
Greg Crabtree: You really have to be all-inclusive when it comes to marketing. The thing is, that is an easy segment of the business to outsource. This is really like you have to look at it and say, "Where do I get the best value?" There are certain things and environments where it's good to have a person taking care of a particular piece of something because it has a high enough activity point and it repeats itself often enough that it makes sense.
I'll use accounting as the comparison. I spent three years, before I started my firm, as a controller for a bank. The first year, I was the novelty because I was the only accountant in this 130-person bank. Anything I said, they just believed. That was pretty cool. It's like you were law. By that third year, I had become assimilated into the masses of employees. I'd even started to feel some of my technical skills start to leave me, because I'm only working at one company. My universe has so limited interaction. I can read about it, that's not the same thing as doing it. We get to work across a couple of hundred companies on an active basis day in and day out. We have a lot of input. We have a lot of data. Same thing in your industry.
There are businesses that need a marketing director, but I'm not so big on building large marketing staffs because the problem is you tend to get in a routine. You don't get fresh ideas. You don't get a lot of those kind of things built out. It's just a different play that businesses run. My tendency is to gravitate to, "Hey. Spend less on internal marketing employees and go hire the professionals who are really in the marketplace who do this every day, who see they got many, many, many more business experience inputs as to what works and what doesn't." We find that those are the companies that tend to spend the least amount and get the greatest amount forward.
Michael Reynolds: This has been outstanding. Is there anything else you would like to add that maybe we haven't covered?
Greg Crabtree: Our process is pretty simple. We have our four pillars that we stand on that we cover in the first four chapters of the book. The first thing is clearing the distortions in your business. The big one that we talked about is, owner compensation is the one that everybody messes up. If you're not paying a market-based wage out of your business, that net income number on your PNL is worthless because it's not the true number. You got to get that done. You got to understand the revenue component and make sure you really pass it through revenue, or is this real revenue. Once you know your true profitability, set that profitability target. What is it for your business?
We think for most businesses, 5%, you're on life support; 10%, you're a good business; 15%, you're a great business. If you're using gross profit as your topline instead of revenue, we want to move those numbers up about 5%. It's like 10% is the percentage off a GP, 15 is good, and 20 is really where we see the- anything 20 or above is great as a percentage of GP for most businesses.
Once you get that business profitable, and the way to get it profitable is, as I said earlier, it is to get productivity out of all the labor that you're spending. Most of the stuff that you're spending on is noise level. We think marketing is a strategic spend. That's one that people are under spending on nine times out of ten. We got to get that up. Largely, it's about getting productivity out of your labor. Once you do do that, then once you're profitable and you're just dealing with what we call the four forces of cash flow.
Get your taxes paid first, get out of debt second. Go do your core capital target third, which we defined in the book as a simple number of how to calculate that. Once I've done that, then I get to harvest the profitability in the business to build my wealth either external to the business, or to truly reinvest it in the business to grow it farther and faster and better.
Michael Reynolds: Love it. I'm going to wrap up and make sure that you give us a shout out to what you do and how you help others. Again, your website is seeingbeyondnumbers.com. If you can just tell us about what kind of clients you work with and for those listening that may want your help, how do they know if they're a good fit to work with you and how do they reach out?
Greg Crabtree: Really for us, it's not about the size of the business as much as it is if you're an entrepreneurial business trying to be profitable. Our geographic area, our offices are based in Huntsville, Alabama, but 90% of our clients are not in Huntsville. We serve clients all over the US, some in Canada. We've developed a system to where we start each engagement with a planning session that does a deep dive into the business. Typically, that planning session runs between $6,000-$8,000 if it's done on-site. It's about $4,000 if we do it remotely. We have perfected ability. Most of our ongoing client support is done at remote through screen-share calls and those things. We go on-site whenever we need it.
From that standpoint, the key is to reorient your data. We've developed a process to build a model that reaches into your data. We don't have to waste time fixing your charts of account or anything. We basically just quickly re-tag it, point it to what we think it is, redisplay client's information to themselves. It's funny. It just triggers these storytelling things in their brain to, "Oh yeah, that's when this was happening. Oh yeah, that's when this was happening." It's like, "Oh yeah, oh I was such an idiot there." They see their business in a different light, so the numbers come alive and start telling the story.
If the numbers don't tell a story, then you're wasting time developing them. We build a model to where it also forecasts the momentum that the business is on and trajectory. From there, we start an ongoing process to where we help them get profitable. Probably about 80% of those clients that we do the consulting for will do the corporate and the professional tax returns. Some of them prefer to keep their long-term relationship with their local CPA. That's fine. We can't talk about profit without talking about taxes and cash flows. We'll always talk about it from a big picture standpoint.
Essentially, it's just this repeating life circle of business of going, hey. Get profitable, deal with the taxes, reinvest the wealth. Get profitable, take care of the taxes, reinvest the wealth. Trying to make sure that you always understand, here's where I'm at profitability-wise. Here's when the cash is going to show up. Then, what can I do with it? That's really what our role in life is, is to help keep that cycle in sync for the entrepreneur. They got more other things on their mind, and it helps them stay focused of knowing, "Don't go spending the IRS's money when you've had profit." All of a sudden, you've got the April 15th surprise. It's like, "No. I spent that money already." IRS is not a good creditor.
Michael Reynolds: Well Greg, you make it sound so simple. You give those of us hope that get blurry-eyed when we spend so much time in spreadsheets. I appreciate you giving us hope and making it sound simple. Really, you do break it down in a way that does give me hope that I can really start to enjoy working with these numbers again.
For those who would like to work with Greg or learn more about him, again, seeingbeyondnumbers.com is Greg's website. I want to, again, point out your book. If you do nothing else today, get Greg's book. It is called Simple Numbers, Straight Talks, Big Profits! You can find it on Amazon. I've got the Kindle version here. Go get it today. Right now. Do not do anything else before you go buy Greg's book. I'm serious. It will change your life.
Greg, it is a phenomenal book. You're a phenomenal speaker. I really enjoyed hearing you speak at the conference. I really enjoyed our interview today. Thank you so much, it was a real pleasure.
Greg Crabtree: Thanks, Michael. I appreciate it.
Michael Reynolds: All right. Thanks, everyone. Have a great day.

New York hedge fund makes play for Wausau paper
A New York based hedge fund has filed proxy materials in an effort to take control of Wausau Paper Corporation.By: By Glen Moberg, Wisconsin Public Radio, Superior Telegram
A New York based hedge fund has filed proxy materials in an effort to take control of Wausau Paper Corporation. The paper company is planning to fight the takeover attempt.
The hedge fund, Starboard Value, has filed papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission nominating three people to the Wausau Paper Board of Directors. Two Starboard nominees were elected to the board last year, and three more would give the hedge fund a majority, and with it, control of the company. In its statement, Starboard accuses the current board of "complacent oversight" and says it is waging the proxy fight to "help shareholders realize maximum value," including pursuing "a sale of the entire company." Wausau Paper Director of Investor Relations Perry Grueber says a response from the company is on the way. "At this juncture, it's a fluid environment. We will be pursuing release of our own proxy materials which will explain the perceptions of our Board of Directors as it related to all of the issues that have been discussed publicly."
Grueber would not comment on whether the current board is committed to keeping the company's headquarters in the Wausau area: "I'm not sure that issue has been specifically reviewed, but I would have no specific information on that at this point."
Grueber says the company will field its own slate of candidates to keep Starboard from getting a majority on the board. "If you're speaking of current Wausau Paper directors, it's my belief that they will stand for re-election at the upcoming meeting."
Wausau Paper announced last month that it was putting its Mosinee and Rhinelander mills up for sale. Grueber says that action was part of a long term strategy of the current Board of Directors to maximize shareholder value.
