I have followed your posts for a while doc but am yet to see your top supps for fat loss (outside of your efa recommendations).
I see your a fan of ua. But what else makes the good doctors cut?
Well, not necessarily a fan of "UA" - I think it looks interesting for a number of reasons...but I have little direct experience with the compound...it's just an on paper item at this point to even me.
In any event - it depends on which direction you want to go....
1) Stimulants/Pro-adrenergics
2) Thyroid Support
3) Cortisol Control (of which is a direct contrast to #1)
4) Glycemic Control Agents
5) Macronutrient Blockers
All of which contribute to the end result of "fat loss" per se...
Where would you like to begin?

Forget the mechanism.... Can we focus on the outcome?
That's the point though...with the exception of glycemic modifiers (of which, you would stand your best chance by mixing items within the class); your best synergism comes with mixing classes as opposed to settling on items from the same one. I have to look at them this way if outlining the best in class kind of deal with DSHEA-compliant items as follows:
1) Stimulants/Pro-adrenergics: Yohimbine (or Rauwolscine HCl if you are very subject to sides); plenty of different pro-adrenergic amines on the market (not saying they're all DSHEA compliant however); Ephedra (if you can still find it; there are products with this item in it and if USED PROPERLY, then it still has to remain in a discussion of best-in-class)
2) Thyroid Support: 7-keto DHEA; obviously T2 supplements as well
3) Cortisol Control (of which is a direct contrast to #1): 7-keto DHEA/7-oxo DHEA (or bAET if topical); Phosphatidylserine (HIGH DOSE)
4) Glycemic Control Agents: Na-R-ALA/K-R-ALA; Gymnema; Cinnamon
5) Macronutrient Blockers (not the biggest fan of this category myself for bodybuilders; BUT white kidney bean extract (Phaseolus Vulgaris) and if you could ever get your hands on PROPERLY-MATURED Hoodia; they'd likely be the best in class
6) Other thermogenics that don't fit neatly into a caterogy: Capsaicin; Raspberry Ketones; Ginger Root
* If you haven't seen results with 7-keto; you aren't dosing it high enough for you!
** This list does NOT include Estrogen Blockers for those who are estrogen dominant! If you're not E-dominant; you will likely NOT see benefit in the fat-loss domain with this class.
Hopefully this is more in lines with what you had in mind...

What is your take on TTA (tetradecylthioacetic acid) Is it worth taking? Would you combine it w/ green tea or raspberry ketones?
Sorry, I must have missed this post the first time through.
Glycemic Control agents actually consist of a wide-group of agents, harboring different mechanisms.
To say "insulin mimetic," you are referencing things that impact RELEASE of insulin (i.e. - Agmatine). This does NOT include all Glucose Disposable Agents nor does it include all Hypoglycemics.
Macronutrient Blockers (i.e. - "Phase II") is intended to prevent absorption of a particular macronutrient (i.e. - protein, carbs, fat)...most notably though are carbs and fat...I presume there aren't too many people desiring less protein assimilation, but I have heard stranger things.
TTA - NO! I really have hated this compound since it's introduction and finally they are starting to pull it from the market.
People assumed it was "safe" due to this silly 7-day trial:
BB dot com banned it's sale due to some longer-term (3 mos) rodent studies not being so positive. You could see, however, in all preliminary physiology studies that it accumulated in a very weird way in cardiac (heart tissue) and remained upon cessation of the element. At the same time; if you have used products from TTA (or its methylated version), you were part of a big supplement clinical trial and perhaps not even knowing it. The safety data is simply NOT complete to make me suggest everyone go out and become a lab rat.
Everyone will sell you on fat loss, cholesterol, blood glucose effects (big deal; I can get these from numerous other agents, in particular...other, MUCH BETTER TESTED Fatty Acids)...I remain unimpressed and think an adultered fatty acid like this should be removed until more safety data is available.
Ask a manufacturer about it and they'll likely tell you something different.
I love raspberry ketones; best in bulk and dosed heavy. I unfortunately don't know of a lot of combo products that dose them effectively. I think SNS may have a pre-capped version at a relatively cheap price.
Green Tea cannot be beat in terms of antioxidant properties and even fat loss particulars. However, in the same breath, I think more data need be had in the department of it's elevating SHBG; unfortunately we are very limited and to Japanese women. Some elevation may not offer alarm because it would positively impact estrogen; but I am unsure we have seen direct discernment of the T:E ratio.
Association of coffee, green tea, and caffeine intakes with serum concentrations of estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin in premenopausal Japanese women.
Nagata C, Kabuto M, Shimizu H.
Department of Public Health, Gifu University School of Medicine, Japan. firstname.lastname@example.com
Caffeine intake has been proposed to influence breast cancer risk. Its effect may be mediated by hormonal changes. The relationships between caffeine-containing beverages (coffee, green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and cola) and serum concentrations of estradiol and sex hormone-binding globulin were evaluated in 50 premenopausal Japanese women. Intakes of caffeine and caffeine-containing beverages were assessed by a semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire. Blood samples were obtained from each woman on Days 11 and 22 of her menstrual cycle. High intakes of caffeinated coffee, green tea, and total caffeine were commonly correlated with increasing sex hormone-binding globulin on Days 11 and 22 of the cycle after controlling for potential confounders [Spearman correlation coefficients (r) ranged from 0.23 to 0.31]. Green tea but not caffeinated coffee intake was inversely correlated with estradiol on Day 11 of the cycle (r = -0.32, p = 0.04). Although the effect of caffeine cannot be distinguished from effects of coffee and green tea, consumption of caffeine-containing beverages appeared to favorably alter hormone levels associated with the risk of developing breast cancer.
Now, there is another striking offering from research lowering Testosterone 70%. http://www.uchospitals.edu/news/2000/20000223-tea.html
But a direct quote says...we simply should seek more data due to concerns about caloric restriction also responsible for lower levels of T; just NOT on the same order - which raises my eyebrow personally. Also, the prostate weights decrease far too significant to suggest NO effect on T levels.
"In addition to decreased food intake and body weight, rats injected with EGCG had lower levels of testosterone (70 percent less in the bloodstream) and insulin. "These results may not have been a direct result of EGCG since food restriction could also cause these hormones to drop," said Liao.
To test whether the EGCG was the direct cause of the hormonal changes, Liao compared the EGCG-injected rats to controls who were fed a restricted diet. These rats showed similar decreases in testosterone and insulin levels, but some hormones changes were seen in the EGCG-injected rats that were not observed in the restricted diet rats.
"This means that some changes are directly due to EGCG," Liao said.
Because of the lower testosterone levels, the researchers also noticed that EGCG injections caused the prostate of healthy rats to decrease in weight. In some rats, the prostate lost 70 percent of its original weight. Lowering the testosterone level may be helpful in preventing the enlargement of prostate and the growth prostate cancer in older people, Liao said.
EGCG was less effective when rats were given the substance orally. "This may be because of poor absorption of EGCG or possibly because of an interaction with food," said Liao. The researchers also found that EGCG reduced abdominal and subcutaneous (just under the skin) fat, and blood levels of lipid, glucose and cholesterol, but did not appear to cause liver damage.
Although oral administration of EGCG was ineffective even after 14 consecutive days of large doses, Liao thinks that long-term oral consumption may mimic some of the results obtained with injection."
It's probably a good thing that oral doses of green tea were junk - but just keep in mind that if it's junk...what exactly are you paying for???

The dose of 7-keto DHEA used in the most efficacious studies was 200mg. That said, we have managed to use 200mg three times a day in some individuals with success and minimal (if any) suppression - (see DHEA thread for more).
Not terribly priced in Now Foods brand:
(your local Vitamin Shoppe may be able to beat this price with store brand)
Or you could go to Transdermal (provided you can remain compliant with dosing; sometime cumbersome):
or even combo with 11-oxo if you can:
Raspberry ketones are sometimes difficult to assess an effective dose for some based on volume of distribution when drawn against gastrointestinal distress. The typical effective dosage range can therefore be extremely far-reaching and hover anywhere from 200 (really thin) - 1000 (not-so-thin) mg daily in 2-3 divided doses. Taking large amounts at once (> 500 mg) is known to cause stomach irritation in some users. How to best assess this: Start Low and go slow increasing the dose as you go.
Start here in your evaluation...
Take 1 cap 2-3 times per day and use it for a few days; then move to 2 caps 2-3 times per day.
In order to cut down on the number of caps in subsequent orders...higher-order RK products are available (NP brand most cost efficient by 10 caps):
Wow - this thread sounds like I am whoring out; but in reality...these seem to be the MOST COST EFFICIENT options...if you know of others...feel free to post guys...

You have probably posted thoughts on this before. But forskolin for fat loss?
I like conversations on "GDA" products because the term gets thrown around on products with different MOAs (as you have mentioned already).
Something like gymnema, if it is blocking intestinal absorption I don't understand why people would use it on a bulking diet unless they are using it on a cheat meal to mitigate damage.
Could you please expand on some of your favourites? I think there is so much misunderstanding on when they should be used and most importantly why they are being used, especially in low carb dieters using it on planned refeeds.

Sure - we'll look at this one...I have talked about so many fat-loss aids over the years that I am uncertain which I have talked but, however, I'd be hard-pressed to believe I haven't fielded questions on this before.
In any event, the mechanism is "interesting" and has lead to many hypotheses around what it does - then one overt clinical study was exciting suggesting hypothesized mechanisms actually translated to the clinical world. I still find it stacks rather well with hyperadrenergics (i.e. - Forskolin + Ephedra) and thyroidal agents (i.e. - Forskolin + T2) in different mechanisms; thereby potentiating them.
Forskolin apparently "works" by activating the enzyme adenylate cyclase. Lipolytic hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline if you're European) activate adenylate cyclase as well, but forskolin does not have the same CNS effects, so it essentially bypasses the step that is associated with the unwanted side effects (nervousness, restlessness) we find with other fat loss agents that function by increasing lipolytic hormone levels (BUT that's only if you cannot tolerate them; otherwise, I'd say stack them). When adenylate cyclase is activated it then converts to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). This increase in cAMP levels has many effects on the body, but the one that is of most interest for fat loss is the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which in turn activates hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), which ultimately breaks down fat and releases it as free fatty acids in the bloodstream. This process is commonly referred to as the "cAMP cascade" or "lipolytic cascade." As I said before, forskolin also acts as a thyroid stimulant, most likely through a cAMP-mediated process.
So - let's take a look at the clinical study that got everyone excited...
Godard M, Johnson B, Richmond S. Body composition and hormonal adaptations associated with forskolin consumption in overweight and obese men. Obes Res. 2005 Aug, 13(8):1335-43.
Full Study: http://www.adipril.com/research/forslean.pdf
Men given 250 mg of forskolin extract containing 10% forskolin (25 mg of forskolin) twice a day lost 9.9 pounds of body fat and increased lean body mass by 8.1 pounds in three months compared to the placebo group which lost 1.1 pounds of body fat and gained 3.5 pounds of lean body mass according to a study from Michael Godard and others from the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences' Applied Physiology Laboratory at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, USA.
"In summary, this study shows that forskolin causes positive changes in body composition in overweight and obese adult men," the paper concluded.
Subjects: 30 overweight and obese men
The study involved 30 overweight and obese men who, on average, were 24-years-old in the forskolin group and 28-years-old in the placebo group, had a body mass index (BMI) of 32.5 (obese), and 35 percent body fat.
Percent body fat decreased from 35% to 31% in the forskolin group
Percent body fat decreased from 35 percent at the beginning of the study to 31 percent after three months in the forskolin group.
There was no change in percent body fat in the placebo group.
Lean body mass increased by 8.2 lbs in the forskolin group
Lean body mass (muscle) increased by 8.2 pounds in the forskolin group versus an increase of 3.5 pounds in the placebo group.
The difference between the groups was no statistically significant which means there was more than a 5 percent chance that the difference was due to random chance.
Body weight decreased by 0.2 lbs in the forskolin group vs a weight gain of 2.6 lbs in the placebo group
Body weight for the forskolin group decreased from 228.8 pounds to 228.6 pounds, a weight loss of 0.2 pounds versus the placebo group where weight increased from 221.1 pounds to 224.7 pounds, a weight gain of 2.6 pounds.
There was an increase in bone mass in the forskolin group which made up the difference in weight.
Total Testosterone: +17% in the forskolin group vs -1% in the placebo group
Total testosterone levels increased by 16.8 percent in the forskolin group versus a decrease of 1.1 percent in the placebo group.
Free Testosterone: +3.5% in the forskolin group vs -4.1% in the placebo group
Free testosterone levels increased by 3.5 percent in the forskolin group versus a decrease of 4.1 percent in the placebo group. This result was important to verify the fact that Total T was a result of Free T elevation rather than SHBG or binding proteins. The thing is - this could be GREAT on caloric restriction as reducing calories can NEGATIVELY impact testosterone levels (also when compared to anabolics in the past, this has been really amazing).
Forskolin did not have a significant effect resting metabolism
"Follow-up tests revealed no significant changes in [resting metabolism] within either group," the study noted.
No significant changes in blood pressure
There were no significant changes in blood pressure in either group.
Systolic pressure decreased from 133 mmHg to 127 mmHg in the forskolin group, which was not statistically significant.
Systolic pressure also decreased in the placebo group from 130 mmHg to 125 mmHg, which also was not statistically significant.
Previous studies (Lindner et al, 1978) found that forskolin could increase contractions of the heart which, in turn, reduced blood pressure.
Conclusion: Forskolin may have caused fat loss, increased muscle and increase body mass by increasing cAMP
"One of the potential explanations for the decrease in fat mass and body fat percentage may have occurred through adenylate cyclase activation and, thus, cAMP accumulation within adipose tissue, which stimulated free fatty acid release and lipolysis [the release of fat from fat cells," the study noted.
"[Resting metabolism] did not significantly change across time during this study, implying that, in a 12-week study, forskolin did not increase metabolic rate."
"These findings are extremely important because of forskolin's mechanism of action. The majority of previous weight loss aids worked through adrenergic receptor activation. Adrenergic receptor activation can down-regulate over time and result in diminished lipolytic effects. Forskolin bypasses the adrenergic activation step and increases cAMP levels by either stimulating adenylate cyclase or by increasing the cAMP accumulating properties of catecholamines. Therefore, forskolin could possibly be used for long periods of time without diminished lipolytic effects in conjunction with increasing LBM. Further research into the long-term effects of forskolin is needed to accurately asses this theory."

Glucose Disposal Agents - Q&A with Dr. Dana Houser

Dana- I read in LEF magazine that taking vitamin C with Green Tea increases its absorption significantly! So oral users of green tea may want to consider that! Then again given you are on the fence about it, maybe its best to just avoid it (for fat loss).
What about lower amounts for general health? I assume its still good right?
This presents an interesting dilemma I suppose. I mean - perhaps poor absorption has been the saving grace all along (if anyone claims they know; I'd challenge them to the "T" - no pund).
We have NOT yet (research-wise) done enough in the hormonal realm to make me think that this won't harbor significant impact somewhere (probably increasing SHBG, increasing estrogen, and decreasing testosterone), barring good absorption and assimilation.
In the same breath, I myself - DO, in fact, sit down to a little green tea each week due to the positives; but the actual tea itself, not some extract.
I am going to present some studies (usually they fall along the lines of breast cancer because no one cares about males and muscle-building ... hopefully that's evident as we are becoming an increasingly LESS MALE society). The point is, these studies are - at minimum - eye-opening.

Green tea and breast cancer.
Wu AH, Butler LM.
Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA. firstname.lastname@example.com
The identification of modifiable lifestyle factors that could reduce the risk of breast cancer is a research priority. Despite the enormous chemopreventive potential of green tea and compelling evidence from animal studies, its role in breast cancer development in humans is still unclear. Part of the uncertainty is related to the relatively small number of epidemiological studies on green tea and breast cancer and that the overall results from case-control studies and prospective cohort studies are discordant. In addition, the mechanisms by which green tea intake may influence risk of breast cancer in humans remain not well studied. We review the human studies that have evaluated the relationship between green tea intake and four biomarkers (sex steroid hormones, mammographic density, insulin-like growth factor, adiponectin) that are believed to be important in breast cancer development. Results from these biomarker studies are also inconclusive. Limitations of observational studies and areas of further investigations are discussed.

Synergistic epigenetic reactivation of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) by combined green tea polyphenol and histone deacetylase inhibitor in ERα-negative breast cancer cells.
Li Y, Yuan YY, Meeran SM, Tollefsbol TO.
Department of Biology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1300 University Boulevard Birmingham, AL 35294, USA.
The status of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is critical to the clinical prognosis and therapeutic approach in breast cancer. ERα-negative breast cancer is clinically aggressive and has a poor prognosis because of the lack of hormone target-directed therapies. Previous studies have shown that epigenetic regulation plays a major role in ERα silencing in human breast cancer cells. Dietary green tea polyphenol, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), is believed to be an anticancer agent in part through its regulation of epigenetic processes.
In our current studies, we found that EGCG can reactivate ERα expression in ERα-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Combination studies using EGCG with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA), revealed a synergistic effect of reactivation of ERα expression in ERα-negative breast cancer cells. Reactivation of ERα expression by EGCG and TSA treatment was found to sensitize ERα-dependent cellular responses to activator 17β-estradiol (E2) and antagonist tamoxifen in ERα-negative breast cancer cells. We also found that EGCG can lead to remodeling of the chromatin structure of the ERα promoter by altering histone acetylation and methylation status thereby resulting in ERα reactivation. A decreased binding of the transcription repressor complex, Rb/p130-E2F4/5-HDAC1-SUV39H1-DNMT1, in the regulatory region of the ERα promoter also contributes to ERα transcriptional activation through treatment with EGCG and/or TSA.
Collectively, these studies show that green tea EGCG can restore ERα expression by regulating epigenetic mechanisms, and this effect is enhanced when combined with an HDAC inhibitor. This study will facilitate more effective uses of combination approaches in breast cancer therapy and will help to explore more effective chemotherapeutic strategies toward hormone-resistant breast cancer.

I would like to know your views on times of the day to use these. As you have stated in this thread people should not use them for refeeds as they are looking for the full effects of insulin.
How about post workout?
If looking at building muscle and are lean then high amounts of carbs can be consumed post workout. If I include something like Na-R-Ala I can consume a higher amount of carbs but would this lesser the effect of insulin rather than potentiating it through a high carb intake?

Is green tea drinking associated with a later onset of breast cancer?

Studies have found that tea polyphenols inhibit aromatase. Because of the substantial difference in levels of estrogens between premenopausal and postmenopausal women, the relationship between tea consumption and breast cancer risk may depend on menopausal status.
We examined this hypothesis in the Shanghai Women's Health Study, a population-based cohort study of 74,942 Chinese women.
We found a time-dependent interaction between green tea consumption and age of breast cancer onset (p for interaction, 0.03). In comparison with non-tea drinkers, women who started tea-drinking at 25 years of age or younger had a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.69 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41-1.17) to develop premenopausal breast cancer. On the other hand, compared with non-tea drinkers, women who started tea drinking at 25 years of age or younger had an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer with an HR of 1.61 (95% CI: 1.18-2.20). Additional analyses suggest regularly drinking green tea may delay the onset of breast cancer.
Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Chronic green tea consumption decreases body mass, induces aromatase expression, and changes proliferation and apoptosis in adult male rat adipose tissue.

Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, 4200-319 Porto, Portugal. firstname.lastname@example.com
Green tea (GT) and its components have been shown to possess antiobesity properties and the corresponding mechanisms of action are being investigated, given the epidemic proportions of obesity incidence. In the current work, we used 12-mo-old male Wistar rats to test the effect of 6 mo of treatment with GT as the sole drinking beverage (52.8 +/- 6.4 mL/d) on adipose tissue (AT). AT aromatase expression was determined by Western blotting, plasma concentrations of 17beta-estradiol and testosterone were determined by RIA, and adipocyte size determined by measuring diameter in tissue sections. Proliferation and apoptosis were also assessed by Ki67 immunostaining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end-labeling, respectively. Evaluations were made in subcutaneous (sc) AT and visceral (v) AT. Body weight increased over time in both groups (P < 0.001), but the increase was more pronounced in controls (P < 0.001) and food and fluid intake did not influence that effect. At the end of the experiment, aromatase expression increased in the AT (318.5 +/- 60.6% of control in scAT, P < 0.05, and 285.5 +/- 82.9% of control in vAT, P < 0.01). AT of GT-treated rats had a higher percentage of proliferating cells (204.1 +/- 19.5% of control in scAT, P < 0.01, and 246.6 +/- 50.2% of control in vAT, P < 0.01) and smaller adipocytes (78.3 +/- 1.7% of control in scAT, P < 0.001, and 87.9 +/- 3.2% of control in vAT, P < 0.05). GT also increased the number of apoptotic cells in vAT (320.4 +/- 21.9% of control; P < 0.001). These results suggest new mechanisms for GT on body weight and highlight its potential benefit to prevent or treat obesity and the metabolic syndrome.

Closer To Nature from Tommee Tippee have a range of Bottles and accessories that help combine breast feeding and bottle feeding, now BPA Free.
After the birth of my twins, we had to feed at two hour intervals, so i switched to expressing and bottle feeding. I already have a Tommee Tippee sterilliser so chose to use their bottles. The bottles work really well, the only downside is that you have to make sure the lid is on correctly to avoid leaks.
Not really much to say other than its 2x small tommee tippee closer to nature bottles. Love the tommee tippee closer to nature range, and so far cant fault the items from it.
The bottles are great, although the slow flow teats never worked for our daughter so we quickly moved her onto Tommee Tippee variflow teats when she started showing signs of colic. The markings on these bottles are very difficult to read as they are transparent so it's really difficult to tell how much water has gone in, unlike the other exact same bottles I have which have the black markings.

Just like any holiday, we all tend to buy new decorations, and seasonal items, but this year why not take into consideration some of these green tips when doing so! Just maybe you will reduce your spending and find new appreciation in the old items while taking part in a greener Christmas than last year!
1. Re-use, Re-use, re-use! If it isn't broke, why replace it! Christmas decorations and tree ornaments can be fixed quite easily if they have lost a string or some ribbon. be a handy man and fix it! You'll feel like you accomplished something and saved the environment by not throwing the item out!
2. If your lights aren't working when you plug them in, give them a good shake, it could just be a short circuit! As an example, my sister had a string of star lights that weren't on and she gave them a wiggle and wa-la they lit up again! Doesn't hurt to try!
3. If you have to purchase new Christmas Lights find ones that are low watt lights. You'll save on your hydro bill and help save some electricity.
4. Pass on an unused item, or lightly used if you choose. (Just because you don't like it, or it just doesn't suit you doesn't mean you sis or friend won't adore it!)
5. Cook your Turkey or Ham in a reusable roasting pot. Opt to avoid tin foil pan that can be reused, yes, but only for a year or two at most.
6. Car Pool to a Christmas Party. Save a life and put down your keys, it is Christmas and this time of year calls for drinking and lots of festivities! Take charge and make a car pool sheet at work a week before your party!
7. Take a moment to reflect on how great your life really is. Your health, your friends, your family, your work, your school, your pets etc. There is something that is great in your life!!! Taking a time out, can give you renewed energy to look at your life and plan for a better future. You could have more energy to plan for a healthier and greener future if you liked too!
8. Bake some sugar cookies for your friends as a present and, or make something from scratch!
9. Purchase a Potted Christmas Tree and decorate it, and then plant it in your yard or have them pick it up and then they will look after it till next year!.

Boys lacrosse preview for Towson area schools [Pictures]
While Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association squads will follow all the new NCAA rules designed to create more action on the field, their public school counterparts will continue to follow the 2012 status quo. Regardless of the rules, look below to see if your favorite team has a chance to be the last one standing after a season-long sprint to the finish.
This team-by-team preview includes Boys' Latin, Calvert Hall, Dulaney, Friends, Gilman, Loch Raven, Loyola Blakefield, Lutheran, St. Paul's, and Towson.
Image 1 of 14
Boys' Latin
2012 record: 14-7
Coach Bob Shriver's quote: "What are you going to do? Somebody has to be the favorite, but we take these things with a grain of salt." Breakdown: Every year, one team appears to be the cream of the crop in terms of talent returning to the fold. Last year, Calvert Hall was the team to beat, and the Cardinals fulfilled their destiny by routing archrival Loyola Blakefield in the MIAA A Conference title game. This spring, it's the Lakers taking center stage of what is widely regarded as the best prep league in the nation. BL has skilled athletes up and down its lineup, and will need them all just to get through a daunting non-conference schedule that boasts Florida powers St. Andrews and Lake Highland, Gonzaga (D.C.), Conestoga (Pa.), Hill Academy (Canada), Culver Academy (Ind.) and state public school foes South River (Anne Arundel County) and Glenelg (Howard). |

Online Reservations
Heard so many good things about Bishop's for so long (decades, since the 1990s) that I simply had to bring my group of international visitors (party of 6) to show them some local cuisine. Ambience is refined, but not overbearing. Lots of West Coast First Nations art on display for visual interest. Service extremely attentive and professional. Food (various appetizers and entrees) was excellent -- the best of my visitors' stay, by their account. Nothing overdone, just letting the natural flavour of the locally sourced ingredients come through. Memorable meal from start to finish! One of our party forgot his reading glasses there in his post-prandial bliss. I went back the next day to retrieve them, and hope to return again to dine.
Food, service and ambience all great for that special occasion. A trraditional and quiet restaurant so I wouldn't necessarily go with a group, but you feel you're being spoiled the whole way through so if you are celebrating or want to really treat somebody, you will come away very happy.
Doesn't get any better than Bishop's. Relaxed atmosphere, amazing food, attention to detail, outstanding service. A true dining experience! While I would recommend for anytime of the year, it's an exceptional place to be for a celebration. I will be back sooner than later!
Consistently very good food. Never disappoints. Always an impressive restaurant to take friends out to dinner.
Absolutely striking on every account. Their classy, cheerful, friendly service and the premium flavors from the kitchen are unsurpassed in this city, & ranks first among our top five favorite fine dining establishments in all of North America.
i believe bishop's is the one restaurant that always gets everything really right. every table is a good one. a warm inviting room. never loud- a happy buzz. fine professional servers. never rushed. the food is excellent. the best part is john bishop himself. he so loves his place and he nicely works his way to each table for a wee visit. hands down the best place in town!
We took our good friends there for dinner and had a wonderful time. The food was terrific and the staff was very engaged. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a romantic dinner or a special occasion to share with loved ones.
Our second visit to Bishop's, even more memorable than the first time. The service is truly exceptional and the manager made us feel like family. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and the chef was most accomodating in preparing a special vegetarian meal for one member of our party. The presentation of each course was creative and there was a lovely contrast of flavours. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special romantic evening out or a family celebration.
we liked the tasteful room, lit well and quiet music that helped the conversation. The food and wine were carefully and well prepared. The Halibut was very fresh and perfectly and simply cooked. The starters were particularly good.. All in all a first rate evening-
Led here by all the reviews on TA and Open Table. We felt we were well advised. Small menu, but additional seasonal choices offered off the menu. We both started with the heirloom tomato salad, which was fresh and flavorable. My friend had the halibut and I had the tenderloin. Both also delicious. Madeline cake and homemade strawberry cake to finish. All good. The staff was pleasant and friendly. This is not a place where they rush you, so you do not have someone often in your face, so you may end up pouring your own wine, but once you realize that all the other tables have been there a while and are just hanging' back and enjoying the non-rushed attitude, you can just go with the flo. We will definitely return.
From start to finish...perfection. What a way to celebrate a special occasion and Mr. Bishop and his staff are just wonderful. We cannot wait to dine there again!
Birthday, anniversary, special event coming up? You need to visit Bishop's on Fourth in Vancouver. From the moment you enter you are greeted by outstanding staff. Your menu is presented along with nightly specials (try the oysters on the half shell) by a very informative host. During your meal, Chef/owner John Bishop will come to your table and greet you. what a special moment. at the end of the evening you are left thinking of your wonderful experience.
The entire staff at Bishops was very attentive, friendly, accommodating . We went based on the description of their food philosophy, and they did an amazing job. A real treat. Do try the port and the oysters
During our stay in Vancouver we chose this place for our special evening and were not disappointed. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table. Service was extremely attentive and the sommelier was very helpful in selecting an excellent B.C. wine. the night's special of fresh from the garden tomato and basil salad was exquisite. I had the salmon, cooked perfectly on a bed of latkes. My partner had the halibut which was excellent. The desserts were also the perfect ending to a lovely meal.
Wonderful dining experience! Excellent service that is very attentive but not obtrusive. The oysters were delicious and I loved the pickled sea asparagus. The dinner was cooked to perfection, and everything was delicious.
Service, food and atmosphere was wonderful. Impressed with the manager and his staff. Small and charming atmosphere. A treat when in such a large city.
The ambiance was simple and clean with candle light dining. Dinner was adequate. Service was outstanding.
Having dine at Bishop's over the years have always enjoyed a memorable dining experience. A well run operation with professional staff. Not the new hot restaurant in the city but a consistent, proven winner!
There's a reason why restaurants come and go and some stay. Bishops has been and should be around for a long time because of its excellence in all things. We had another perfect meal there on Friday night and a wonderful chat with John Bishop, the perfect host.
Whenever I visit Vancouver. I always make a point of having dinner at Bishop's. The food is always top notch and the service is impeccable. The restaurant has a lot of return customers for a reason. The quality and presentation of the food is always consistent. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Great place for special occasion meals.
First time in Vancouver and was seeking a nice restaurant for an annual dinner with a friend and found Bishops through Zagat. It is a well known place and everyone I told I was coming told me it would be an enjoyable meal. The house is impeccable, cozy but not crowded, comfortable seating and a noise level that lets you speak in your normal voice! And, the wait staff is friendly, courteous and quick to recommend if you have questions. The menu was challenging as everything looked great. Two had the salmon, two had the halibut and we all cleaned our plates. Starters were just the right size for an enjoyable taste but not too filling. Desserts were amazing.
This is one for the record books. John Bishop, a gracious restauranteur know how to run a fine dining establishment. I only wish I had more space to write this review. We had 4 wait staff tending to our needs. The hostess took our coats swiftly and ushered us to our table. We started with amouse bouche a rabbit liver pate, which was delectable. French bread, and peach whole wheat muffin like bread was brought out and devoured. Bishop's Martini was fabulous! as was the Pasquale 2010 reserve Malbec. Heirloom tomato salad with thai and regular basil was heavenly. We don't even like tomatoes! Foraged mushroom tortellini was truly fabulous. White Chanterelle and sweet corn chowder, Mains Ling Cod, and Beef Tenderloin. Perfection!
the food was good and it was quiet.... but it was a little formal for my taste and the food, while v good, was not compelling. we had a nice time, but for the price i expected more.
Took my partner to Bishops for her fiftieth. Excellent service from friendly staff. Food excellent without being over priced. Slightly off the beaten tourist track and all the better for that. Happy to recommend to others.
We went to Bishop's to celebrate a family birthday, and are very glad to have chosen here. The servers were all so friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine. They offered to keep the bouquet of flowers in the fridge until we left, and all the ladies were handed roses as we left the restaurant. The dessert that said Happy Birthday on it was certainly a personal touch as well. We will be returning again whenever there is a milestone in our lives!
Service, food and every small detail is first rate. Bishop's never disappoints.
Always a complete & wonderful experience - staff treat you like an old friend (they do remember faces!!!) and you cannot help but feel like you are special. The menu is never the same and offers delicacies such as Elk carpaccio, handpicked mushroom tortellini with sublime celeriac puree (so delicious - asked for a side with my main and - surprise - there it was - they do listen - I just almost licked the little dish!). My friend/sailing/skiing buddy of 10 years celebrated 10 years of friendship - Bishop's is the best place for any celebration .... to just celebrate oneself for that matter! Scallops were perfect, the salmon succulent inside buttery crisped on the outside! Desert paired with Sauterne a dream. Us and friends will be back!
Like many other reviews, I can't say enough about the service. There's a team of servers taking care of you, and then you have Mr. Bishop himself checking on you multiple times. Then there's the food, not a vast variety, but all , I think six of the mains soun very appealing. I will be back for sure to try more of the menu.
Menu is purposely small, as they only work with whatever is fantastic and available fresh. Perhaps could be described as taking a French approach (attention to the smallest details--the fresh chorizo in the rizzoto side would have, alone, been worth the visit) with Northwest fare (fresh seafood cooked simply, fresh local pork and beef dishes). Appetizer was a "pate turreen"--rabbit and pork pate, wrapped with a thin house-made bacon--all whipped up by the sous chef apparently on a whim--it was delicious and oppulent and would, alone, have been worth the trip. Great service, greeted at the door by Mr. Bishop himself with a "welcome back" (I'd only been there once before), good (maybe great) wine list and bar offerings.
Very welcoming restaurant, the food was great and the waiters/waitress have been very nice with us.
This little quiet restaurant delivered on all important points - the food was delicious, the staff was attentive and friendly but didn't hover and the bill was very reasonable for a restaurant of this quality. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting or residing in the Vancouver area! l
Having never been to Bishop's, and hearing it was sort of a Vancouver "institution" I had high expectations. I wasn't let down one bit. The service was fantastic, which I always appreciate. Not overly attentive, but there when we needed them (it was a Wednesday, and they weren't too busy, but I got the feeling things would have been the same on a packed Friday). The staff took ownership of the place, and it felt like we were being welcomed into their home.
Bishops Restaurant has been around for a very long time and has always been very consistent with excellent service and food. I don't go there often but when I do, it is usually for a special occasion and I am never disappointed,
One of the things I love about Bishop's is its consistency - both in terms of food quality and service. I also love that it changes its menu regularly and no matter what the changes are there is bound to be something that I'd want to try; deciding what to get is the actual struggle because there is always more than one thing I want to order. Thanks, Bishop's, for helping us celebrate another special occasion.
We met to talk & catch-up over delicious food and it was a lovely evening. The service is always excellent and the food reliably delicious . Not noisy but everyone there was having a good meal and so there is a pleasant buzz in the place. The starter mushroom tortellini is just gorgeous ....so was the ginger cake dessert. The amuse-bouches were little cups of a smokey soup with roasted pumpkin seeds .... Delicious . This restaurant remains a real favourite ...
Terrific food, attentive staff. I would have liked the tables to be spaced out a little more. $$$
At last a restaurant where you can enjoy excellent food and service, while still being able to converse with your companions without having to shout. The background music was at the right level to provide very good ambience and to allow conversation.
Bishop's is a special occasion type of restaurant (at least that's all my budget allows) and it never, ever disappoints. The food is exquisite and I defy anyone to not find something that they'll eat on the menu. We have two vegetarians in our family and although there are no vegetarian options on the menu, it states that they're more than happy to prepare a vegetarian or vegan dish. The server will ask if you have any dislikes and if you're happy to let the chef create a dish for you. The vegetarian dishes on this past visit were an appetizer of heirloom baby beets and a main of a beautiful mushroom tart. The service is attentive but not smothering and a warm welcome by John Bishop begins the evening on a lovely note.
We've heard nothing but good things about Bishop's but somehow it took us 10 years to get around to dining there. This is the type of restaurant I would open. The interior reminded me of The French Laundry. The focus is on the food (small menu) and service. Both rooms (upstairs and down) are simple with white tablecloths and linens, beautiful modern silverware, a small floral centrepiece and a silver candlestick. Artwork is by west coast native artists and I was surprised to notice that it was for sale. My only quibble with the interior is the odd dried dusty flower arrangement in the washroom-time for an upgrade. The food was excellent. The Veloute (soup) was incredible. Mains were great (loved the duck). Leave room for dessert.
If you are in Vancouver and you are looking for a restaurant that puts the importance of ingredience quality alongside creative taste then this is the place for you. The menu is small but everyone in our group raved about their food. I would definitely come back again and again.
Perfect atmosphere for a quiet conversation and a succession of taste sensations. Loved the amuses-bouche and small morsels of bread. Halibut was divine. All of our desserts too. Staff attentive but not intrusive.
Bishop's lived up to the hype and delivered 5 star food, service and Mr. Bishop himself. Loved that he made his way round the dining room throughout the evening for that special added touch. We will return for certain.
Each time we go to Bishop's we're reminded why we love it. The food is delicious, the service wonderful and the atmosphere relaxed but elegant. Would recommend it to anyone who appreciates a delicious meal. We also appreciate the local and sustainable aspects to their great menu.
I took my girlfriend to Bishop's for our anniversary as my colleagues at work recommended to try this restaurant. We went there for dinner and the food was purely amazing. We loved it so much. Bishop's is definitely in my top restaurants to go to for special occasions, This restaurant has superb service, delicious food, and quaint atmosphere. **Thank you to the staff for surprising my girlfriend and me with a happy anniversary imprinted on our dessert. My girlfriend has a favourite new dessert, earl grey creme brulee
I have visited Vancouver intermittently for the last 15 years. Every time I go I eat at Bishop's because it is consistently excellent. There is no false note. The service is attentive, informative and friendly. The menu has about 6 starters and 6 entrées so could seem short but the variety would please everyone. I will certainly be back there on my next trip.
Everything was very good - service was slow. A four hour meal for 4 people was a little long - long stretches between dishes. the homemade ice cream desert didn't quite make the grade - it was too lardy instead of flavorful.
This is the one you save for that extra special occasion when you really want something different nd at a level not normally seen.
Service was top notch. John, Abel and the rest of the staff are professional and attentive. We felt very well taken care of without a feeling that they were hovering. Food and wine was delicious.
Loved the service and the food was delicious and timely. Took my Dad for a special dinner and it was.
The food was super, service was very good and the wine excellent. My wife had the beef, I had the lamb, both were cooked beautifully, and were full of flavour. Finished off with sharing a Creme Brûlée- lots of flavour. We went for our wedding anniversary, and would happily go again!

Jessica Lafleur is a girl after my own heart. A self-confessed skincare rebel, she set out to create a brand that is
… obsessively natural, simple without being boring, luxurious without being over-the-top, loves to educate, and made specifically for the needs of a city-dweller's skin (and aesthetic).
Stark Skincare ticks all the boxes: squeaky clean & hard working ingredients (loaded with antioxidants to combat city living) combined with iconic apothecary style packaging, to create products that both look good and do good. The cleansing balm, green tea detox mask and perfecting tonic have firmly established themselves as staples in my own clean regime (full reviews to come), so I am delighted to share with you Jessica's clean regime:
'I keep things simple as a general rule of thumb for life in general, and my summertime self care routine follows suit. In fact, it may be the simplest it's ever been, and I love it! First off, I do think that the most important part of any summertime health and beauty regime is drinking a TON of water. In fact, this is an any-season rule. My cleansing regime consists of Manuka honey that a friend of mine sends from New Zealand. I use it as straight-up cleanser on its own, or I mix it with Stark's Green Tea Mask, with a drop of water. It's fabulous, but also a man repellent (sticky mud!) I do that 2-3 times a week in hot weather which keeps me completely pimple-free. Next, I've been using Yes to Carrots Nourishing Shampoo for some time, and loved it up until recently. Just as I was taking these pictures, my hair was really acting up and my scalp was ITCHY, so clearly I needed to make some changes. That's where the Savon D'Alep comes in…. but we'll get to that! I also try to dry brush several times a week before showering, which leaves my skin soft, smooth and a healthy I swear I just exercisedpink. I brush towards my heart at all times to encourage good circulation.
I use my Grapefruit Cleanse + Hydrate Balm by my company Stark morning and night, but ESPECIALLY at night, as it gently removes all manner of city gunk and grime and makeup off my face. Also, I like to add a little to my hair for the fresh scent, and a few extra dabs on any bits of skin that are quite dry. It's multi-purpose but also just feels really indulgent, so I love that (that's why I made it!). It also gives skin a nice glow.
The Savon D'Alep, which I am caught kissing in this picture (you guys do that too, right?) is a staple for me. I found this for a steal at a health food store, and it comes from Syria, via France. Alleppo soap is a Castille soap made of Olive and Laurel oil, and in this case Argan as well. I LOVE it. I had first used this type of soap in the Middle East, but in bar form, and loved how rustic it smells and feels. It leaves your skin feeling clean, a little goes a long way, and what's best, my hair absolutely adores it. So yes, I use the same soap on my body (mostly feet and parts I want extra clean since I don't feel I need soap all over my body….too drying!) AND my hair. It's liquid, so it's not too, you know, awkward or anything. I no longer use conditioner, which my fine wavy hair seems to agree with. That slimy slick feeling that most conditioners give my hair just seems to not do it any justice.
My coconut oil. My love! I use this same brand (but NOT the same jar!) for both cooking and for my body/hair. This is a local Quebecois brand, although I assume the coconuts are not from around here, called Maison d'Orphée, which smells, tastes and absorbs like a dream. This one is organic, unrefined and virgin, which is super important if you want to use your coconut oil for your body. Actually, this is important for cooking, too. The refined stuff is garbage, frankly. I use this as a night time hair conditioner, as my body oil, as a massage oil, as a mouth rinse (yup! Look it up!) and pretty much anything else that strikes my fancy.
The fun stuff. On my face, before I head out into the world, I use 2 drops of Stark's Cypress Purity + Defense Oil, which helps my skin defend itself against environmental damage. I also use Organic Wear tinted moisturizer and their mascara, which is the easiest clean makeup brand to find in Montreal. For the price, it's good. I love love love love Vapour Organics. It's what makeup should be, to a T. I use their blush called Torch, and it's easy to apply and feels nice on skin. I can't stand makeup that feels bad, and since I'm not used to wearing it (yes, almost 31… still not used to it!), I love that I can apply this easily and forget it's there, and it makes me look fresh. Also, the ingredients are phenomenal. I also love my eyelash curler. This is a cheap one, but now that I know that I love them and how much of a difference curled eyelashes make, I will invest in a fancy one. I also use Hurraw's Black Cherry Tinted Lip Balm, as it adds just a little gloss and enough colour to make me happy'.

Good idea-except I don't know if making the liars anywhere near around veterans is a good idea. I wouldn't want the lying B@st@rds around me.
I hope it passes - I believe there is a State Rep who is gonna get nailed on this one and he deserves it!
This Bill should already be on the books . I hope to see it pass !
Isn't it amazing how many now claim to be veterans (especially Vietnam Vets) when not so long ago they ran and hid?

He delivered; as fire lanterns drifted into the sky and the rain poured, Petty led mass sing-alongs of his hits, from "Here Comes My Girl" to "Free Fallin'" – and drew huge cheers during tight covers of "Friend of the Devil" and "Baby Please Don't Go." "It smells really good at Bonnaroo," Petty said at one point. "I swear it smells like pot." Bonnaroo 2013:... | More »

text: Five--count 'em, five--chances to wallow in the shoot-first, ask-questions-later ethos of San Francisco cop Harry Callahan, who became a signature character for actor Clint Eastwood. The first one, Dirty Harry, is the best, a Don Siegel film in which Harry flouts rules about police brutality to capture a serial killer. In Magnum Force he tracks rogue cops and utters his "Do you feel lucky, punk?" speech. In The Enforcer he gets a female partner (future Cagney and Lacy star Tyne Daly). Sudden Impact featured him tracking a female serial killer and offered a new catch phrase: "Go ahead. Make my day." And The Dead Pool, aside from offering a smart little chase involving a radio-controlled model car, brought him face to face with Liam Neeson. You can't ask for much more firepower in one box than this. --Marshall Fine

Labor Mobility and Firm Risk: Direct Evidence from Brazilian Employer-Employee Linked Data Andres Donangelo, Department of Finance Human capital is the most important input for the production of goods and services in the economy and the main source of aggregate wealth. However, unlike physical capital, such as buildings or machines, human capital can literally walk away from the firm as managers and other employees switch employers, carrying with them some of the firm's productivity. The interaction between labor mobility and firm risk has been remarkable under-researched until now due to the scarcity of comprehensive data bridging labor and financial markets. We hypothesize that differences in the level of specificity of skills demanded across firms affect how risk is split between shareholders and workers. We will use a novel Brazilian employee-firm matched panel dataset to investigate this idea. In particular, we will study how employment decisions and individual workers and firms over time are related to observable characteristics and past stories. This project should provide a better understanding of the interrelation between human and physical capital.
A Reexamination of the Effect of Financial Incentives on Intrinsic Motivation Michael Williamson, Department of Accounting I examine the effects of performance-based incentives on creativity for individuals already intrinsically motivated to work hard on their creative tasks. Both academic research and the popular press argue that performance-based pay schemes found in many organizations can destroy intrinsic motivation for creative tasks. If so, performance-based pay, rather than playing its intended motivational effect, could actually decrease effort and reduce the creative output of employees. Running counter to this widely held belief, my research suggests that the detrimental effect of performance-based pay is limited to a very specific type of creative task. In fact, my research suggests that performance-based pay can actually boost creative output for those already intrinsically motivated to work hard. As such, my research has important implications for the design of performance-based pay within organizations valuing employees' creative efforts.
Did more Reputable Investments Banks Issue better Structured Products? John Griffin, Department of FinanceRichard Lowery, Department of Finance We investigate the role of reputation in the market for complex structured financial products. Conventional wisdom suggests that securities underwriters with concern for their reputation will tend to produce and sell better securities to avoid losing this valuable if intangible asset. Insights from economic theory, however, suggest that highly reputable individuals and firms face powerful incentives to exploit any reputation they develop. We develop a model to investigate these effects and argue that the ``best'' underwriters may in fact produce securities that perform worse during economic downturns. The main focus of the project, then, is to determine empirically whether reputation predicts better or worse performance of structured products before and after the financial crisis. We have collected a very large dataset covering MBS, ABS, CLO, and CDOs. Our empirical approach is to test whether securities issued by underwriters with the best reputations were downgraded more or less severely, and how this interacts with the complexity of the securities in question.

Spring-loading when no one is looking? Earnings and cash flow management around acquisitions Shuping Chen, Department of Accounting
The project, "Spring-loading when no one is looking? Earnings and cash flow management around acquisitions", is a joint paper by Shuping Chen (McCombs faculty) and two researchers at Yale University, Jake Thomas and Frank Zhang. This paper investigates an important earnings management behavior: the potential collaboration between targets and acquirers during the quiet period, the period from acquisition announcement to completion, when no formal reports are filed with the SEC. Such collaboration, in particular target's understatement of earnings and cash flows during the quiet period, can lead to overstatement of acquirer earnings and cash flows post acquisition. This is an important earnings management behavior that has been discussed prominently in practitioners' publications. The Chen et al. paper is the first academic paper to document and investigate this behavior systematically. As mergers & acquisitions are arguably the most important investment decision a manager can make and earnings management can lead to dead weight loss, the findings of this paper have important implications for regulators and users of financial statements.

Innovation Battles of Digital Knowledge Ownership: Implications for Firm Policies and Processes Sirkka L. Jarvenpa, Department of IROMHüseyin Tanriverdi, Department of IROM
Organizations face a serious dilemma in terms of how to institute policies and processes that promote innovation, but at the same time allocate the legal ownership rights and the financial returns that satisfy owners of the firms and creators of the innovations. For example, open innovation is beginning to face disappointing outcomes as there are increasing questions about the equitable distribution of ownership rights and economic wealth. The goal of our study is to understand how managerial policies and practices designed to achieve one of the objectives of a firm (creating new knowledge and profiting from new knowledge) may have unintended consequences for the other one and how to minimize such unintended consequences.
The disputes over the ownership of knowledge resources are escalating as: (a) employees gain more self-determination and autonomy in virtual environments, (b) knowledge assets become digitized and distributed at a large scale, and (c) emerging innovation models such as open innovation, and emerging competition models such as platform-based competition and ecosystem-based competition enable companies to gain access to digitized knowledge assets of very large numbers of individual innovators around the globe. The context of creation and innovation can have significant impact to whom knowledge is attributed to and the nature of potential knowledge ownership disputes. The disputes reduce the firm's ability to profit from the new knowledge. The disputes can also negatively affect the creators by leading to the potential loss of employment, dignity and identity.
Optimal Coupon Targeting: Sequential Decision Making and the Value of Information Frenkel ter Hofstede, Department of MarketingVijay Mahajan, Department of MarketingCarlos M. Carvalho, Department of IROM
Targeting coupons to individual customers is a relatively new phenomenon in retailing. Traditional coupon strategies involve bulk coupons as inserts in newspapers or catalogs which are not specific to individual customers' purchase patterns. The upsurge in data collection, data storage and information technology, however, has made it possible for retailers to target individual customers based on their individual response behavior. While previous research has looked at computing the face value of coupons that maximize a retailer's immediate profits, to our knowledge, no study has taken into account the value of information provided by a targeted coupon strategy. In this study, we take such an approach.
We develop a new methodology that optimizes coupon targeting by jointly maximizing category profits and the value of information. We propose a response model that explains a customer's purchase behavior over time as a function of prices and coupons offered. To derive the optimal coupon targeting strategy, we take a decision-theoretic approach and view the retailer's coupon decisions as a sequential-decision problem, taking into consideration the expected future behavior of customers when making current targeting decisions. Our methodology will be applied to data collected in a simulated environment. We believe the study will offer great potential for retailers to develop customized coupon targeting strategies and allow us to understand what the value is of such strategies in gaining information about customers.

GREEKS AND AMAZONS Tapestry wall hanging, Egypt, 5th-6th century AD. Wool and linen, 1.11 x 1.26m (3'8" x 4'2"). A complete tapestry-woven hanging depicting three Amazons on horseback and three Greek warriors. The figures are framed by a pair of Corinthian columns. This mythological scene is often used in Graeco-Roman art and persisted into early Byzantine art. The figures are depicted in a bold and expressionistic way: they fill the whole scene and all face in the same direction. A tapestry fragment of a hunting scene, with similar figures, albeit rendered in a more 'classical' manner, is in the collection of The Textile Museum, Washington DC (see James Trilling, TheRomanHeritage: TextilesfromEgyptandtheEasternMediterranean300t0 600AD , Washington 1982, fig.21). The top and bottom borders have different patterns. There are remains of a warp fringe and the left side. The dark brown weft is very brittle and has been largely lost. These gaps were roughly repaired in antiquity with S2Z linen thread. Although the colours look unusual, common dyes such as madder were used. Katoen Natie Collection, Antwerp, KTN2095
Fragment of hanging with a hunting scene, Egypt, 6th century AD. Wool slit tapestry, 0.80 x 1.06m (311⁄2" x 413⁄4"). Acquired in 1946 from Paul Mellon, Paris. The Textile Museum, Washington DC, 71.90
IN MY INTRODUCTION TO ANTOINE DE MOOR'S article about the Katoen Natie Collection of ancient art, I say that it is a great pleasure and privilege to be able to visit and see new collections and presentations of textiles. In Antwerp, the owners, curators and designers/architects have, to my mind, achieved something that in its presentation merits the attention of many other museums. The collection is revealed with a controlled mixture of intimacy, clarity and drama that conveys absolute commitment to and enthusiasm for the vitality of the material. The requirement to have no natural light in the galleries in order to minimise its damaging effect has been turned into a virtue, as has the decision to not encumber the visitor with extensive labels and supplementary contextual information requiring lots of reading, leaving the public in charge of how much they want to find out by way of the available touch screens. I particularly liked the way that additional examples can be seen in drawers that light up when they are opened. With that added touch of technology it took me back to some of the old fashioned institutions where one could discover more material by pulling out drawers and sliding screens, always anticipating what you might see and learn next.
The sense of discovery also extended to the mainly Late Antique/'Coptic' textiles that I saw in Antwerp, awakening in me a new appreciation and interest in this type of material, which does not seem to be much shown in institutions that hold significant collections. A case in point is The Textile Museum in Washington DC, the strength of whose East Mediterranean archaeological material, largely unseen since 1982, I discovered in reference to the comparable tapestry fragment to our cover.
What is striking about the Huts, who own and direct the collecting at Katoen Natie, is their strong belief and vocal espousal of the power of culture in giving meaning to society and providing a historical context to a nation's development.
Thus it is sad that a few miles away in the Netherlands we hear of a rather different political and governmental approach to the importance of culture, since several Dutch museums and cultural organisations are under threat of having government grants withdrawn in swingeing budgetary cuts. Most prominent is the threat of closure in 2013 of the Royal Tropical Institute and the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, announced in late 2011. The threatened withdrawal of the central grant has resulted in a consultation process between the Institute and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as other threatened associations in an attempt to find a less drastic course of action, but the idea that access to a world renowned centre of study and its unparalleled ethnographic and historical collections can be brought to an end is shocking. We wait in anticipation of better news and more enlightened policy making.
Of course the colonial past of European nations informs much of our collective cultural inheritance, but in a more immediate way it still produces a slow trickle of fine weavings onto the auction market. In the UK over the past few months, several unknown world class Turkmen weavings have emerged onto the market (see our comments in APG), and elsewhere in Europe (and the USA) there are still instances of high quality weavings coming up for sale which, through the wonders, or malign influence of the internet (depending on which side of the equation one is sitting), achieve unprecedentedly high prices. The latest exciting revelation is the newly discovered 'Seljuk' carpet corner fragment in Christie's London carpet sale on 24th April 2112 (see News). This important new 'addition' to the known corpus of early Turkish carpets of the socalled 'Konya/Beyshehir' type, now mainly preserved in the TIEM in Istanbul, came to the present owner in 1974 via the Cairo art market and the Indoudjian family.

Taking the Polar Plunge to raise money for Special Olympics is something I've thought about for a long time. I even took my son down to the Columbia River just to watch all the action last year. This year, when our promotions gal asked if I wanted to do it this year, I said "sure."
The next couple of weeks, Steve Leader kept asking me if I'd thought about how cold it was going to be when I hit the water. Finally, I called him out on the air. I said "You're going to do it with me." I just have to talk him into wearing a silly costume. There are often hilarious costumes at these events.
Either way, I can't think of a better (quicker?) way to wake up then by hitting that cold water on a Saturday. Come down and see all the fun! If you want to make a donation, just click the banner on the right hand side of the KXL home page.
Thanks in advance and I'll see you down there!
