Just watched the show. I'd seen Freddy both in porn and a few years ago randomly at The Cock, but he seemed to have a lot more personality on MDL (and R13, real estate may not be rocket science, but it takes some fucking talent and personality to sell a billion dollars' worth of Manhattan residential real estate). Ryan is a TOTAL douche, and I don't buy for a second that he's 27; surely I'm not the only one to note the gray hair on his sides (probably the reason he keeps it so short) and the bags under his eyes. And who the fuck said he's "openly gay"? By all appearances on the show he's an obnoxious pussyhound.
As for Michael, the fact that no one's said anything about him yet speaks wonder. Why the fuck is he even *on* this show? He completely fucked up the sale of the Tribeca triplex -- which, if you missed it, he described as his "first big chance" (meaning he's a neophyte in the business) -- because he was too lazy to fax in an offer before heading off to Martha's Vineyard for a long weekend. He's OBVIOUSLY just a trust fund brat, and will obviously prove as useless as Josh Flagg (another trust fund-brat son of a real estate scion) is on MDL:LA. (It also wouldn't surprise me a bit if he, like Josh, ends up coming out of the closet in a couple of seasons.)
R37, if memory serves the show was filmed through late winter to early fall of 2011. You can tell by the various levels of tree growth in the background of shots, as well as everyone's attire.

The eyes fall just short of being sexy, instead veering into the strange territory of just a little too animated, a little too goofy, try just a little too hard, and are ringed with a sort of permanent tattoo of guyliner.

On WWHL Andy Cohen asked Ryan if he was hooking up with someone (a female name that must be on the show, but since I don't watch it I don't know if she's a client or someone he works with). Whoever she is, she must be older because Andy followed up asking if he likes older women. Ryan responded that older or younger is cool (he never said women) and he's open.
I thought Andy was going to follow up the 'open' comment with something about swimming in the man pool (that's how he refers to it sometimes), but he didn't.
It wasn't surprising because if the cover is on, then he'd of course be part of it.
Frederik said that he's engaged to be married to some dude.

For anyone who wonders or cares about the "O.G." LA version of the show...
During the WWHL episode featuring the douches of the NYC iteration, gay Josh called in to comment or ask a question or something - I can't remember what he called for. But he did say that the LA cast are currently filming their next season.
So that answers the question some people had (including me) as to whether the New York show is replacing the LA show. Perhaps Bravo hopes for the Million Dollar Listing franchise to become as far reaching as the Housewives.

the chick was so plain and dull.....thinning hair, tree trunk legs. In other words: non-threatening - the kind closeted guys choose
and then he blew her off the next day
it was awesome

Ryan is acting like a straight guy pretty well [hitting on girls, talking about girls, checking girls out, flirting with girls, saying he's genuinely interested in girls]
And, I know hot guys who act just like him...and are straight.

Ryan is trying so hard to play the role of a hetero man but when he last did it on that soap opera it was scripted so he had no problem with it. Now he is just given a scenario by the producers that he has to create himself. And he is failing miserably. He has no experience with women so he is faking it and it shows.
This has got to be the most boring real estate faux-reality show on tv. Who cares about any of these phonies?

If Ryan is straight, he's an asshat. He treated his model date like crap at the photo shoot, obviously flirting with all the other female models and paying little attention to her.
But, Ryan is a easy target; his own worst enemy. Case in point: making such a big deal about the doorman screening any women who visit his apartment building, so he's not bothered by stalkers. My first reaction was Ryan went back again and again to the shows' producers to make sure that totally unnecessary scene stayed in the episode.

But seriously, back to the show. I felt bad for Ryan's date. I'm sure she naively thought that it would be good exposure for her to be on a reality show and I think during the shoot she realized that she'd been used as a plot device and walked out.

I passed Ryan Serhant on the street at 25th and 9th this morning as he was trying to hail a cab. He was dressed in one of his trademark slick suits, so he was probably headed to any early meeting.
Is he still claiming he's in his late 20s? Not to be catty, but honestly, up close, he looks more like late 40s. He's a fairly handsome guy up close, no dispute there, and taller than he looks on the tube, but he just looks so much older than he claims. Maybe it's the grayish hair, or his gait, or his bad posture or his shininess (I know that sounds odd, but he's got a shiny face). Just no way is this guy is late 20s. Supposedly he's dating Sonja Morgan from RHONY.

James Blake
The Wilhelm Scream (live)
Soon, James Blake's album will be officially released (on 7th February, via Atlas/A&M, but you can already add it to your wishlist here), although it could well be that the dark corners of the internet have already allowed you to have a taste of such an anticipated musical piece. So pay attention to this video, because it offers the possibility to enjoy young Blake live at Maida Vale, the BBC's studios, playing "The Wilhelm Scream", the second track on "James Blake". Blake is among the station's choice of artists to look out for in 2011 (check the list here) and, although the young man didn't make it to the top spot, he offered up this magnetic and hypnotic performance that has been recorded on video.{youtube }8LDTsoNiT2Y{/youtube}

At many centers that help people invoke the spirits of relatives or friends martyred during the war, the dead persons' spirits do seem to enter the bodies of the living and guide them to the exact spot they were buried.
Hundreds of people come to a center run by Le Thi Hoa in Nam Dan District of Nghe An Province to find lost tombs of their relatives Photo: Tuoi Tre
How else can one account for the innumerable cases where a seemingly normal person – and clearly not a charlatan out to benefit – describes exactly what is beneath the ground, buried along with the dead person?
But just like with anything else that benefits many people, this has also attracted crooks out to make a quick buck.
In a country where it is a practice to rebury the remains of loved ones in a final resting place and to worship ancestors, it is not practicable to shut down all such centers just because some of them are dodgy.
It has become a headache for authorities in many provinces.
These centers have recently begun to mushroom in the central provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh.
One such is owned by Nguyen Van Bang, a former soldier himself, in Thach Linh Ward in Ha Tinh Town.
It is a big villa located in the middle of a large garden, with a shrine on the right permanently having burning joss sticks, flowers, and fruits.
In the garden are some 500 plastic tables beneath a large canvas canopy. Each table is used by a family as an altar to make offerings of flowers, fruits, incense to a picture of the martyr whose tomb they are searching for.
They take turns to pray and burn incense, hoping to invoke the spirit.
Bang's family members stroll around, occasionally helping the visitors pray in the correct manner to "communicate" with the dead person.
If a member is possessed by the spirit of the martyr and reveals the location of the grave, the family immediately hires a car to leave for the place.
A relative of Bang's, who acts as a co-organizer, says sometimes a spirit turns up after the family prays for just 2-3 days, while others may take months.
In Nghe An 15 such centers have opened in the last two months, attracting around 15,000 families.
So far they have managed to locate the graves of 810 martyrs in forests around the nation, mostly in the south, though none has ever been confirmed by DNA tests.
Tales from beyond
A center run by Phan Thi Hanh in Nghe An has proved a reliable destination for grave-seekers.
Hanh says she opened the center on the bidding of her martyred uncle's spirit.
"A medium guided me to the grave of my uncle Phan Van Dung. After I brought his remains home, his spirit began to possess me and ask me to help find his comrades.
"The spirit even urged me to set up an altar and run my center to help find the graves of other martyrs."
Several miraculous stories have emerged from this center.
Chau Thai of Village 1B in Nam Dan District was guided to the grave of his relative at a cemetery in Thang Binh District in Quang Nam Province. Even before the grave was dug up, the spirit said through Thai that a wristwatch had been buried along with the body. A watch was indeed found in the grave.
Tran Van Hung, who works at the Nghe An military headquarters, came to the center where the spirit of his older brother directed him to Gio Linh District cemetery in Quang Tri Province.
The spirit reminded him not to forget a hammock that had buried along with the remains. Again, the hammock was exactly where the spirit had described it.
Duong Tuan, deputy chief of personnel in the Nghe An Party Committee, found the remains of his uncle and older brother thanks to Hanh's center.
"It can reliably be said that the remains are of my relatives," he said.
But there have been numerous instances of people being guided to places proven to be wrong by army records and veterans' testimonies.

Erin McCarty's Mardi Gras Adventure with the Krewe of Centaur
KVKI's Erin McCarty had ridden in a number of Mardi Gras parades before, but nothing quite like her ride in this year's Krewe of Centaur parade Saturday.
The first text I got from Erin came about 2 p.m. and it said 'what an amazing day.' The last one came around 8 at night when she texted 'habbig a grape tim!'
What happened in that 6 hour span is, at this point, open to speculation. But I'm sure we'll hear the complete story – or at least as much as she remembers – Monday morning on the radio. We do know her costume was spectacular and her float, the Viking ship, won the coveted 'Best In Parade' prize.
So be sure to join Erin and me for all the Krewe of Centaur parade details, including more photos, here. We certainly look forward to hearing your parade stories, as well. And we hope you, like Erin, also 'hab a grape tim.'

Five of the six Chula Vista candidates who were successful in the Tuesday primary and will move on to the November runoff either serve or have served on the Chula Vista City Council.
The lone newcomer is attorney Dan Smith, who will face incumbent City Councilwoman Patricia Aguilar in the race for Seat No. 2.
Aguilar garnered about 48 percent of the vote. She has several years of experience as a community volunteer, serving on several city boards and commissions. Smith captured about 17 percent. He has his own law firm in downtown Chula Vista.
City Councilwoman Mary Salas was the top voter getter in the mayoral primary. Salas garnered about 44 percent of the vote total, followed by Jerry Rindone, a former city councilman, with 39 percent.
Councilwoman Pamela Bensoussan was eliminated in the primary, drawing 17 percent of the vote. The winner in November will replace termed-out Mayor Cheryl Cox.
Salas was elected to the council in 2012. She previously served from 1996 to 2004 and is a former state assemblywoman.
Rindone was on the council for 16 years and is a 38-year educator. He also served on the County Board of Education.
John McCann, president of Sweetwater Union High School District, took 38 percent of the vote Tuesday for council Seat No. 1, which is being vacated by termed-out Councilman Rudy Ramirez.
Steve Padilla, a former Chula Vista mayor and councilman, captured 32 percent of the vote. The two bested four other candidates for a runoff slot.
McCann previously served on the City Council for eight years. Padilla also has served on the Diego Port Commission and California Coastal Commission.

Berlin -
German police on Thursday raided a funeral parlour and 18 other Berlin locations linked to a gang suspected of using dead people's passports to smuggle illegal immigrants into EU countries.
About 120 federal and state police took part in the coordinated dawn raids to collect evidence on charges of document forgery and human trafficking, said a police spokesman.
No arrests were made, but police confiscated a briefcase filled with German and other countries' passports as well as documents and computers from the 19 businesses and homes in the German capital.
"The special thing is the group's somewhat odd modus operandi - that people were brought to Germany with the passports of deceased persons," federal police spokesman Jens Schobranski told AFP.
He said passports were chosen based on similarities in appearance to those people aiming to illegally come to Germany.
"We have seen nine confirmed cases," where the method was used, with most of the illegal immigrants coming from war-torn Syria, Schobranski said, adding that the funeral home was owned by a Syrian national.
He said funeral parlours often offer bereaved relatives to formally wrap up all official paperwork of the dead, using their passports which officially remain the property of the issuing state. - Sapa-AFP

SJU Reads Selection Brings Diversity Issues to the Forefront
Friday, September 28, 2012
by James R. Sanders '13
SJU Reads, Saint Joseph's community-wide, yearlong reading program brings Dave Eggers' 2009 award-winning non-fiction book Zeitoun to campus. Zeitoun chronicles the plight of a Syrian-born American citizen who chooses to stay in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Interdisciplinary programming for SJU Reads includes a film series, lectures and panel discussions that explore and illuminate topics raised by the book.
Published by McSweeney's, Eggers' own publishing company, Zeitoun won multiple awards, including The New York Times Notable Book of the Year Award (2009) and the American Book Award (2010).
When Hurricane Katrina assaulted the Gulf States seven years ago, it left behind devastation from which many are still trying to recover. With the monster hurricane approaching, Abdulrahman Zeitoun sent his wife and children to Baton Rouge, choosing to ride the storm out to protect his contracting company. Post-Katrina, Zeitoun paddled through the city's flooded neighborhoods to help others who were stranded in the chaos. While checking on business properties, he was arrested with several other men for suspected looting by National Guardsmen and police officers.
Held by captors who mistook him for a terrorist and called him "al-Qaeda" and "Taliban" – presumably because of his ethnicity – Zeitoun was denied medical attention and was unable to communicate with his family who had no idea of his whereabouts. Twenty-three days later, he was finally released after being charged with possession of stolen property; the allegation was later dropped.
SJU Reads is designed to engage the entire campus community in a common reading experience that features the Ignatian value of social justice. Accordingly, Zeitoun sheds light on several important aspects of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath that touch on this theme. "It's such a compelling, fast-paced read, but it also highlights so many issues – civil liberties, criminal justice, racism, the Muslim-American experience post-9/11, the environment and global climate change," says Library Director Evelyn Minick.
Copies of Zeitoun were mailed to all first-year students during the summer. Resident assistants, orientation leaders and faculty who were facilitating discussions during freshman orientation, or who planned to use Zeitoun in class, also received books. The library has many copies available for circulation, as well as on the e-readers it circulates.
Floods and Faith: A Film Series for SJU Reads kicked-off on Sept. 19 with "Trouble the Water," a documentary about residents of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward who coped with the hurricane and the manmade obstacles complicating their return and recovery. The next two films are scheduled as follows:
- "Mine," a film about the efforts of displaced pet owners to locate and reunite with their animal companions will be shown on Oct. 14.
- "Fordson: Faith, Fasting, Football," a documentary about how a predominantly Arab-American high school football team from suburban Detroit deals with challenges both on and off the field, will be shown on Nov. 17.
All screenings will take place at 7 p.m. in the Forum Theatre of Campion Student Center. The remaining three films will be announced in the spring semester.
The lecture series started on Sept. 18 with Why The Gulf Coast Matters- the Ignatian Response to Katrina. Jocelyn Sideco, co-founder of Contemplatives in Action, along with SJU students who went on an immersion trip to the Gulf Coast, presented the lecture. On Thursday, Nov. 8, at 11:30 a.m., Umeyye Isra Yazicioglu, Ph.D., assistant professor of Islamic studies at Saint Joseph's, will introduce Mucahit Bilici, assistant professor of sociology at John Jay College, CUNY, who will deliver Homeland Insecurity: The Arab and Muslim American Experience since 9/11 in the Forum Theater, Campion Student Center. Two lectures are currently being planned for the spring semester.
A panel discussion focusing on future weather is planned for the spring semester. Titled Hurricanes, Floods, Blizzards and Droughts: Is this Global Climate Change?, it features Heidi Cullen, Chief Climatologist at Climate Central, and Saint Joseph's faculty members Johnathan Fingerut, Ph.D. and Clint Springer, Ph.D., assistant professors of biology. The discussion will be held in the Wolfington Teletorium, Mandeville Hall on Thursday, March 14, 2013, at 11:30 a.m.
A second discussion on racial profiling is being planned for the spring semester.

Marketing your medical practice: buying attention vs. earning it??
T1000 on 23 Sep 2008 at 8:41pm
Social media and advertising are not one-and-the-same. Social media is a path to earning attention from online consumers. Advertising is an efficient way to buy attention. There are important distinctions between earning vs. buying attention, including the impact each has on a doctor's practice.
When there's a scarcity in new cosmetic surgery and treatment patients, obscurity is the enemy of a cosmetic surgeon, dentist, or dermatologist.
Getting noticed – traditional marketing declines in effectiveness
Like other businesses, cosmetic surgeons are frequently told that the path to overcoming obscurity and to getting noticed is to create ads and display them to people who want them.
But ask a good marketer, and he or she will explain that this form of advertising is rapidly losing impact. A survey of 133 national advertisers who spend $20 billion on advertising found that 78% believed traditional advertising has become less effective.
A key reason for the performance decline is media saturation. Consumers are under assault by ads and commercial media. The average 1970s city dweller was exposed to 500 to 2,000 advertising messages per day. Now, it's up to 5,000 (Yankelovich, October 2006). Frustrated consumers are quick to embrace new technologies that provide relief by filtering out untargeted advertising messages. Adblock Plus, a free browser plug-in that blocks website ads, gets downloaded more than 300,000 times a month. 80% of people with DVRs skip commercials in recorded programming.
While new forms of advertising, especially the search engine text ads, are regarded as more effective means of driving leads to a website, it may very well be traffic that doesn't convert. At e-commerce firms like Expedia.com, this is called "empty reach," coined after promotions that drive traffic but not sales (e.g. teens without credit cards visiting the site).
Focus on trust
Even if advertising succeeds in drawing in traffic, it does little to nothing to establish trust. Without trust, the aesthetics consumer will stay out of the market, seek alternatives, and rely upon the advice of friends.
Researchers point to numerous factors behind the waning trust factor in the health and beauty market; most are far outside the control of a healthcare provider.
Consumers are losing faith in the overall healthcare system. As described in the New York Times ("When Trust in Doctors Erodes, Other Treatments Fill the Void," Feb '06 ), consumer perceptions are colored by their past medical treatment experiences.
Haggles with insurance providers, conflicting findings from medical studies and news reports of drug makers' covering up product side effects all feed their disaffection, to the point where many people begin to question not only the health care system but also the science behind it. Soon, intuition and the personal experience of friends and family may seem as trustworthy as advice from a doctor in diagnosing an illness or judging a treatment.
Trust continues to erode as empowered healthcare consumers turn to the web to get educated. A survey by Kelton Research recently concluded that more than 85 million U.S. adults have doubted the opinion of their doctors or other medical professionals when it conflicts with information found online.
Additional good will and upfront trust has burned off due to personal care marketers over promising and under-delivering. Research by Wharton Business School Professor Lisa Bolton finds that "deceptive advertising can alter consumers' long-term psychological perceptions about what is and is not true." An indicator of the erosion in trust of aesthetics buyers was a 2005 study by Datamonitor researchers which found that one-third of consumers completely distrusted claims made by cosmeceuticals, and 75% were skeptical and hesitant to make an anti-aging skin care product purchase. While no studies have focused on cosmetic surgery and treatments, there's no reason to believe aesthetics services advertising is more trusted then skincare lines.
New marketing paradigm – earning attention
A doctor interested in fighting obscurity needs to recognize that marketing their practice is NOT equal to advertising. Marketing a practice is about earning more attention than your rival.
Earning is a key concept here. Anyone with a publicist can buy attention. If you're willing to shell out for a radio or TV commercial, glossy ads in a magazine, or directory placements in websites or the yellow pages, you can buy your way into consumers' line of sight. But none of these secure attention based on a foundation earning consumer trust. The effect of advertising on a practice is likely to be ephemeral.
Fig 1: example of how NOT to earn attention
Earn attention with social media
Social media is often associated with self-absorbed people who update their Facebook, obsess over "friends lists" and author navel gazing posts about things nobody cares about.
Yet, one of the most efficient paths for a doctor to earn greater attention is social media. The blog Technovia points out that social media isn't something only for "techies", but is accessible to anyone with a computer and Internet access:
…the tools for earning attention have never been more democratically distributed, from blogging to Facebook to whatever the next thing is. Every employee in every company is empowered, at least in theory, to help your company earn attention. Every employee can be an evangelist, can connect directly with customers and help you - with each tiny blog post - to earn the attention which it's no longer practical to buy.
Earning attention comes about by standing out from rivals. Since such a large percentage of doctors continue to rely upon old world marketing, there's a window of opportunity for the doctor who devotes time to social media to truly stand apart from other providers. Social media earns the doctor attention because it demonstrates accessibility, honesty, transparency, candor, and authenticity. These are precisely the qualities an aesthetics consumer is looking for in a provider and what they find are too often lacking.
Context matters to a medical practitioner
Based on the objective of earning greater attention, doctors should not react by immediately penning a blog. Writing to an audience of family members and friends may be fine for those interested in sharing details about their recent trip to Europe, but it hardly moves the needle for a business. Good web strategy is to be contextually relevant and present where prospective customers are, not just trying to drive users to your own website or web property.
Sites like RealSelf.com offer doctors a highly targeted opportunity to make a connection with the right consumer. RealSelf.com collects questions from real consumers, and provides doctors with a free way to show that they understand, identify with, and respond to potential patient information needs. Other medical-related social media services like Sermo.com have evolved into powerful networks for doctor-to-doctor communication.
Social media generates Word of Mouth for your medical practice
A valuable outcome from being visible in social media is word-of-mouth. Word of mouth is marketing gold, nirvana to any business seeking cost-effective ways to acquire new customers. Thus, doctors shouldn't measure blogging or their activities on sites like RealSelf.com using old metrics like "How many patients did you send me?" It may be frustrating to analytically driven doctors, however the fact is that the benefit from social media is indirect, but very real.
Social media gives doctors a way to demonstrate communication skills
A recent consumer survey by the American Board of Medical Specialties found that 95% of participants surveyed said that bedside manner or communications skills are very important or important as a key factor when choosing a doctor. Writing first-person postings on the web go a long way to prove a doctor is indeed an active listener and effective communicator.
Social media isn't for every doctor
A marketing guru recently told a packed social media conference, "If you can't do it well, don't do it." In other words, approaching social media to "get new business" the old way, won't work. For instance, using a user-generated question on RealSelf.com to self-promote is the surest way to see time spent online turn into a negative return on investment. Statements like "I'm the best" break the social media code of authenticity. Obsessing over the metrics of "hits" and search engine ranking are also sure to disappoint. Forecasting the ROI is virtually impossible.
Social media may be best left to those who regard it as a learning process. Success won't be overnight or predictable. In the words of Alexander Graham Bell,
The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.
A doctor who has taken this steady path is Los Angeles Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Persky. On RealSelf.com "Dr. P" has posted more than 125 answers and dozens of comments in discussion forums. He has found that greater engagement can be won simply by addressing consumers by name, using the first-person tense. To consumers this conveys a sense that it's a conversation, not a marketing plug or come-on. Dr. Persky is tapping into the not-so-secret recipe to earning attention online.
Social media and advertising are not one-in-the-same. Social media is a path to earning attention from online consumers. Advertising is an efficient way to buy attention. There are important distinctions between earning vs. buying attention, including the impact each has on a doctor's practice.
Earning attention via social media lends to a level of authenticity and accessibility that prospective patients seek in a healthcare provider. Buying attention leads a prospective patient to possibly considering a doctor for an aesthetic procedure, but it fails to build greater trust. The impact of social media is not easily measured, but consumer trends point to a future where major aesthetics purchases are increasingly based upon word-of-mouth, the quality of patient-doctor communications, and overall feelings of trust.

We replaced the tyrol tonight (thanks for the help Kevin V.!). The old rope junk-show of an anchor with its multiple core-shots from rubbing on the rock has been upgraded with chain to help it last a bit longer.
There are two strands of static that should keep you well out of the creek. The rope was donated by fellow MP'ers. Thanks, everyone!
Since the area description above doesn't mention it, the tyrol for Black Widow is actually a little downstream, directly below the Vampire. Angle up and right across the scree field to get to the routes at Black Widow.

The route list on this page, above, stirs up the murk already surrounding the locations of Kor's three routes on this rock. I don't know where he climbed, but I think that logic supports that "Center" is to the left of "Right Side." And I think that what this list calls "Center" is really "Right Side."
I have climbed (9/23/74) what I believe is "Right Side," all the way to the top. It is an obvious line (5.8 or 5.9) and is what D'Antonio calls "Wired." It begins in the dihedral shared with "Bands of Gold," which contrives to climb the left wall of the dihedral. And it seems to fit with Ament's and Erickson's vague descriptions of "Right Side."
What D'Antonio calls "Right Side" is what Rolofson calls "Wired." This pitch is an unlikely choice for "Right Side." It is relatively inobvious, is hard-to-protect 5.10, and ends at anchors shared with "Smoke Down" (although, yes, you could keep going up).
I have climbed "Bong Session," which ends at bolted anchors at the top of a clean crack. While it may be possible to continue free to the top, there is a less-obvious line above the anchors. I'm not suggesting that Kor would only follow obvious lines. Given my above arguments, however, I'm curious about why Chris Archer thinks "Bong Session" is Kor's "Right Side." Even though bongs (thick pitons) could be useful, I don't think those had been invented by 1961 (just kidding). (See thread on Bong Session.)
Anyway, the use of the name "Center" in the list on this page acknowledges that the first route right of "Bands of Gold" could be one of Kor's three routes.

Today, I toproped the mossy line between Kate Moss and Consilience, using the KM anchors. (One could continue the line upwards on lead, rather than move left to the KM anchors.) It felt like 5.10, although a taller person may find it easier -- or resort to aid in places -- or do some cleaning. I saw only rare opportunities for pro, although you may be able to find placements if you excavate a little of the moss. I did come across an old, rusty ring piton (which seemed solid) at about 80 or 90 feet.
Judicious cleaning has made Kor's Center Route, which climbs past the dead tree between Consilience and Gyromancy, and which sports three rusty fixed pins, enjoyable and protectable.
By George Bracksieck
Nov 2, 2013
|According to High Over Boulder, "Left Side" (FA: Kor and Bleser, 1961) may follow the line in D'Antonio's guide, left of Kate Moss. It looks pretty scruffy, but there is a potential route.

SPORTS Direct International has criticised its large shareholders for failing to back a bonus scheme which could have handed Mike Ashley £70 million in shares.
Mr Ashley, who owns Newcastle United football club and has a stake in Rangers, does not take any salary from the business but has almost 58% of its shares.
The proposed bonus would have seen him handed around eight million more shares if performance targets were met this year and in 2015.

The retailer has failed to gain shareholder approval on a number of special remuneration schemes for its founder in recent years.
Chief executive Dave Forsey said some shareholders had backtracked after initially supporting the latest proposal, adding: "The board was extremely disappointed to withdraw the resolution regarding a proposed share scheme award to Mike Ashley.
"The most disappointing aspect was where large shareholders gave their support only to then vote differently. This outcome is likely to lead to further uncertainty in the future."
Mr Forsey did not name any of the shareholders who had changed their minds.
After Mr Ashley, who was not able to vote on his own bonus, Odey Asset Management is the largest shareholder, with a 7.31%.
Schroder has 4.71% while Legal & General Investment Management, Aviva and Standard Life Investments all have stakes of less than 1.4%.
Mr Forsey was speaking as Sports Direct unveiled another strong trading period.
Group sales for the nine weeks to March 30 grew 10.3% to £360m with gross profit rising 11.5% to £147m.
Its sports stores were 11% ahead and pulled in £292.3m of revenue and gross profit up almost 15% to more than £120m.
Trading in the premium lifestyle arm, which includes the likes of USC and Cruise, nudged upwards by just 0.7% to £27.1m with gross profit actually dipping 4.1% to £9.9m. The brands division grew revenue almost 13% to £39.6m although profit was steady at £16.7m.
Mr Forsey said the company was very confident of hitting a full year target of £310m of earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation.

A lack of finance for water resources management is a primary concern for most OECD countries. This is exacerbated in the current fiscal environment of tight budgets and strong fiscal consolidation, as public funding provides the lion's share of financial resources for water management.
The report provides a framework for policy discussions around financing water resources management that are taking place at local, basin, national, or transboundary levels. The report goes beyond the traditional focus on financing water supply and sanitation to examine the full range of water management tasks that governments have to fulfill; when appropriate, a distinction is made on distinctive water issues.
The report identifies four principles (Polluter Pays, Beneficiary Pays, Equity, Policy Coherence), which have to be combined. In addition, it identifies five empirical issues, which have to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, it sketches a staged approach that governments might wish to consider, to assess the financial status of their water policies and to design robust financial strategies for water management. Case studies provide illustrations of selected instruments and how they can be used to finance water resources management.
This report takes stock of the latest developments in the overall economic and social conditions in EECCA countries, market signals and environmental governance arrangements that may facilitate the shift towards green growth, and discusses possible barriers and measures to overcome them.
This Guidance Document describes how applicants could demonstrate that a proposed new pool and spa disinfectant would satisfy the regulator's efficacy criteria. While meeting the performance characteristics can be expected to satisfy the regulator's efficacy requirements, the regulator may choose to consider alternative scientific information and argument aimed at satisfying the efficacy criteria.
OECD countries have agreed new rules to strengthen current environmental and social due diligence processes when providing export credits and to create financially prudent incentives to support business projects with low CO2 emissions. The second agreement also aims to encourage support for advanced climate-friendly technologies such as carbon capture and storage.
This first review of Slovenia's environmental conditions and policies evaluates progress in sustainable development, improving natural resource management, integrating environmental and economic policies, and strengthening international co-operation. It addresses green growth, environmental management, climate change and air pollution, and waste management issues.
Slovenia's rich and diverse environment is under pressure from the country's expanding economy. OECD's first Environmental Performance Review of Slovenia says that greening growth, including though green tax reform, better use of public and private finance, could help Slovenia.

Dim sum debt leapfrogs rivals to be best in Asia
Related topics
Dim sum bonds were transformed into the best local-currency company notes in Asia this year from the worst in 2011, and are among the top picks of Western Asset Management as China's economy rebounds.
Corporate yuan-denominated securities sold outside the mainland gained 6.2 per cent in 2012, more than returns on local currency company bonds from any other Asian country, according to HSBC indices. Dim sum debt beat the 4.8 per cent on non-government Hong Kong dollar notes and the 4.7 per cent increase in similar corporate debt denominated in Singapore's currency, the indices show. The yuan notes lost more than 2 per cent in 2011, the data shows.
Goldman Sachs raised its 2013 growth expectations for China to 8.2 per cent, after factory production grew faster than expected. Western Asset expects growth of between 7 per cent and 8 per cent, compared with an annual pace of 7.4 per cent in the third quarter.
"China will successfully steer through the global head winds," Chia-Liang Lian, Singapore-based head of investment management for Asia excluding Japan at Western Asset, said at a briefing in Hong Kong this month. Dim sum "bonds are one of several pockets of value that we feel compelled to exercise as we go into 2013", he said.
New World China Land's 8.5 per cent yuan bonds due April 2015, which have the largest weighting in HSBC's non-government index for offshore China debt, returned 11.7 per cent this year. The Hong Kong-based developer of mainland properties is "cautiously optimistic" about the market on the mainland after earnings rose 2 per cent for the year to June 30.
Average property prices may increase by 7.8 per cent next year, according to a report last week from Soufun Holdings, the country's biggest real estate website owner. The government will support home buying for use by the purchaser while continuing curbs on speculation and investment, Xinhua reported last week.
Stimulus measures to support China's economy boosted growth in East Asia's emerging nations this year and may continue to do so in 2013, Bert Hofman, the World Bank's chief economist for East Asia and the Pacific region, said last week. Local-currency government bonds from India, Indonesia and the Philippines all gained more than 8 per cent this year, HSBC's gauges show.
The cost of insuring China's debt against non-payment with credit-default swaps has fallen 82 basis points this year to 65 basis points as of December 26, according to data provider CMA.
The yuan has appreciated 1 per cent this year, as of December 27, less than predicted in December 2011 but still more than the Hong Kong dollar, Indian rupee or Indonesian rupiah.

Gingrich is the founder of the National Center for Health Transformation. He addressed the state legislature, praising Jeb Bush and others for Florida's efforts to reform Medicaid and improve access to health care.
"We can literally show around the country and talk around the country about innovative things you're doing that are improving the quality of life and reducing the cost of health care and I think you should feel very good that in many cases this is the most innovative state in the country in the area of health and it's important for every Floridian, but it's also important for the country at large what you're doing, for every American."
But Democrats argue Florida is going backwards when it comes to health care. They point to statistics showing that Floridians who have no health insurance or access to health care have both increased.

1 Cordoba Dr. upper penthouse (Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue)
Asking price: $12-million
Taxes: $36,605 (2011)
Bedrooms: 4+1
Bathrooms: 11
Having an indoor pool in colder months is the way to go, but what about when the temperatures soar? All the owners of this penthouse have to do is push a button to retract the glass-and-steel roof and enjoy fresh air and an unobstructed view of the sky or stars.
The full-sized swimming pool and its eco-friendly warming system, a grill area, a spa and a poolside bar are on the upper level of the suite, which occupies the entire top two floors of the building. It offers 360-degree views with "pretty sunsets and to the north, the Caledon Hills," says listing agent Ferne Sherkin-Langer of Harvey Kalles Real Estate, who has co-listed the property with Nina Castle.
The suite offers more than 16,000 square feet of space, including about 11,000 sq. ft. devoted to living space on the main level. A commanding steel-and-glass staircase connects the levels.
"It's like a mansion in the sky," Ms. Sherkin-Langer says. Designed for entertaining, "it has been the site of many weddings and all kinds of parties."
The four-bedroom, 11-bathroom suite has more than $1.5-million worth of marble and more than $1-million in Murano glass lighting, including three chandeliers in the dining room. The dining room has a table that comfortably seats 30 people.
Two birds-eye-maple kitchens, a full-sized bar, a private screening room complete with a popcorn machine, a gym and a terrace off the office are features. The foyer has wainscotting, a marble floor and elevator access. The master suite has a walk-in closet that is more like a small room, Ms. Sherkin-Langer says. The ensuite bathroom has a steam shower.
The suite "is ideal for people who love to entertain and who don't want outside maintenance," she says. It provides plenty of space for a multi-generational family who wants "camaraderie but who don't want to be on top of each other."
Potential buyers to date include a filmmaker who "feels like it could be used as a set and for inspiration, and someone from the Middle East who is intrigued by its design. It will appeal to someone with a lot of cash," Ms. Sherkin-Langer says. "The suite is a candidate to be featured on the television show Million Dollar Listing this season."
The suite also has a private seven-car garage inside the underground parking area.

Well, the Japanese might be relatively small in size, but that doesn't mean they don't love greasy fast food for a quick burst of energy during the mid-day break. Folks who love collecting quirky erasers (kids qualify, too) will be able to pick up the Japanese Fast Food Eraser Set for $6.95.
