When it comes to nails.....Vicki is Fabulous!!
The MOGUL is the absolute BEST!! – The Nail Mogul has the nail market in Houston locked down!!
Everytime, without fail, I get my Rock Star Mani/Pedi I ALWAYS get compliments. The service is awesome, the salon is clean and relaxing and spending that little bit of time with the Mogul is the best!
When I spend my money I want my moneys worth!!
I don't call her Vicki... to me she's simple The Mogul!

AH-MAZING! – I absolutely adore Nail Mogul!! I've never been one to spoil myself when it comes to my nails, but I refuse to paint my own nails ever again! Nail Mogul has saved me hours of slaving away over a nail polish bottle! The staff are crazy friendly and you treat you like you're one of the girls. It's a very quiet and relaxing atmosphere and my nails ALWAYS get compliments! Not to mention, you're in and out in a reasonable amount of time. There is officially no turning back! I <3 Nail Mogul!
Nice Retreat for Lunch – I was referred by a friend to Nail Mogul and I loved their service and friendly atmosphere. I especially love that I can run on my lunch break to get a perfect manicure and then be back to me desk just in time with a new midday enhancement.
BEST OF THE BEST!!!! – I have been going to Vicky for about 10 months and love her! The service and atmosphere are great!!! You cant beat it.... I will be a lifetime customer at Nail Mogul!
Absolutely Awesome Service!! – I have been going to Vicki and her team now for almost a year now. What started as a birthday gift card has now become a great relationship with a talented nail artist! Vicki is always professional, timely, and does the best nails I've ever seen! And she is also very knowledgeable about keeping your nails healthy, which is very important to me. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have healthy beautiful nails!!
Love Love Nail Mogul – I have been getting my nails done at Nail Mogul for about a year. I love that they use authentic products and are always willing to push the envelope and try something new. If you want haute couture nails, go to Nail Mogul.
Nail Mogul...'nuff said – Nail Mogul...enuff said!! I've been going to Vicki for YEARS. AND will be going to Vicki for YEARS to come. Nail Mogul is a very professional business with no waiting since services are offered by appointments only.
New Client Feedback – It has been really hard to find the right person to do my gel nails, but while I've only been in once for a full set, I have a feeling Vicki and I are going to have a long relationship. She went out of her way to do a test nail on me to make sure I'm not allergic (as I am to acryllic), which was great. Some other salons wouldn't even consider that. I would definitely refer friends over to Vicki.
Houston's Top Nail Salon – I had my first experience at Nail Mogul about 10 months ago and every two weeks I look forward to my one on one with Vicki. The amount of talent she Tiffany have in their hands is amazing. There is no waiting as all services are by appointment only.

"Big Box" Japanese restaurants are generally low-quality, off-brand affairs, but EN is as good as it is big. Avoid the New York cliches (e.g. miso cod, etc. ) and ask for the actual Japanese standards at which the place excels.
WATCH YOUR SHOES! – I was invited this past Saturday, March 24th, to en Japanese Brasserie to celebrate my good friends 30th birthday dinner & was pleasantly surprised with the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. My friend rented a private room for the occasion and following Japanese tradition, we had to remove our shoes upon entering the secluded room. The food was just ok (they serve in VERY small portions thankfully) although the sake was great. The birthday girl slid open the door to get the waiter and found some drunken stranger trying on her NEW Sam Edelman booties with the lady screaming "These are fabulous, are these yours?" My friend just ignored her and stared her down until she removed the shoe and went back to her designated room. We informed the waiter and manager but all we got back was "I'm sorry" and that was all. I feel as paying customers, our party was respectful in following the Japanese customs by removing our shoes but could someone at least respect us and keep an eye out for them just in case someone decides to put their feet in them or God forbid, walk off with them. Maybe you should let guest just take the shoes inside of the private rooms and put them to the side or something. What if that lady had foot fungus or damaged it by trying it on. A simple "sorry" would NOT suffice. P.S. The bill was $503 for 8 people…and I left hungry. Not really mad about the price but for that tab, I could have ate like a QUEEN at Ruth Chris!
Very Special Japanese Experience – I am lover of cooked Japanese food and En is a standout. Spectacular interior, impeccable service from the host's greeting to the food runner. Fresh tofu is a special treat; stone grilled chicken; rice pot with salmon, shiso garlic rice and of course my favorite kakuni -- braised pork belly. I lovetreating myself to dinner at En, which is pricey but worth it. Excellent cocktails -- fresh grapefruit juice with shiso and japanese vodka amazing ---and interesting wine list, too.
Very good japanese – A friend who lives near this restaurant recommended it to me, and my wife and I went there for lunch. We took the bento lunch with miso cod that many of the reviews mention here. We also ordered 4 small kyoto-style dishes (the waiter's recommendations on those were excellent). Everything was excellent. We would go again.
We didnt order any Sushi or other standard fare.
Citysearch Editorial Review – EN Japanese Brasserie fancies itself as an izakaya, a Japanese pub, but the sleek space, high ceilings and giant windows demonstrate a different identity, one far more in keeping its neighborhood's tony environs than its faraway siblings (the owners also run several restaurants in Japan). Although the menu changes seasonally, always on offer is the house specialty: scooped tofu, made hourly during dinner service. Fish gets flown in daily for the sushi, sashimi and sushi rolls, but vegetables, including those that constitute the vegetarian konnyaku sashimi plate, are also imported, making this place authentic as authentic can be where it really counts: taste.
My Favorite! – This was my second time at En. The first time I came with my boyfriend, I promised myself I would be back. The second time around, I was not disappointed. I ordered several dishes including the black cod and fried rice. They were both amazing!! Loved it. I am craving them both as I write this review. I think I may have to stop by again and order them as take out! Its expensive but the food and service is worth it.
EN Has Gone Down Hill – I have frequented this restaurant before and have found
that the qualities that once made this restaurant superior
are now lost. En's specialty is Tofu and they were out
of two of the favorite tofu dishes. The waiter tried
to have me order a Tofu dish that I did not want without
telling me that the two dishes I did want were not available.
I should have walked out. This waiter was brash
making fun of my mother with another waiter laughing
out loud in Japanese because she didn't like the dish
she had ordered. I ordered a dashi crab soup that was full of salt and a fishless piece of crab. I gave it to my husband because it was awful. I ordered the Perch which was fishy with a cheap sweat sauce that I hardly touched, The waiter brought out a salad that wasn't ordered thinking this too was funny until I called over the Manager saying this meal and the waiter were unacceptable. For the price this meal was bad news. The only thing redeeming about this experience was the promise never to go back.
Editorial Review – A stunning setting for sushi-weary New Yorkers to expand their Japanese dining vocabulary.
great place – My favorite restaurant in the city. It is expensive but it has great ambiance, beautiful dishes and everything tastes wonderful.
AMAZING RESTAURANT – This place is beautiful. I travel a lot, I look at a lot of architecture and if I ever made a restaurant I would rip off EN from floor to ceiling. May be not completely, but I would definitely take my liberties. To me dining is more than just eating it encompasses the entire experience, I think that's why it's such a popular experience for dating, and this place is totally perfect for a beautiful experience.
I had the amazing kaiseki menu which was a perfect 8 courses, it kind of shocked me to see the pacing which is based on the way in which food is prepared as apposed to our western tradition of what it is we are preparing.
In addition the tofu here is amazing. I can't believe how good it is. I don't even think they should call it tofu or may be the commercial tofu shouldn't be called tofu. I was talking to my server about it, who happened to be really well informed about tofu. He told me that the tofu made fresh is like a totally different animal to the tofu that's made in a store because there are no additives, fresh tofu only lasts for a couple days and really only has that amazing custard consistency for the first few hours.

Flatbush Pavilion
314 Flatbush Avenue,
4 people favorited this theater
The Flatbush Pavilion, located in Brooklyn's now fashionable Park Slope, is down the road from where such former movie palaces as the Fox and Albee once stood.
A small twin, the theater was closed in May of 2004.
Recent comments (view all 53 comments)
Here is a recent photo of the marquee.
A color photo of the marquee being used by American Apparel can be found on the front page of today's NY Daily News. The site happens to be adjacent to a subway station that was closed by this week's storm flooding.
Here is another photo of the marquee:
The closeing of this dive was a mercy killing. The place was a horrid place to see a film. The lobby was dark and dank; the auditoria were even more forboding. The film presentation was beyond bad. In a day and age of 6 channel digital sound, this place was still sporting a mono system in both rooms.
It was a scouting exhibition just to find a seat that wasn't broken, and even those that were in decent shape were very uncomfortable.
The screens were placed much too high making the viewing angle very hard on the neck muscles. Because it was twined, the rooms were long and narrow, giving you the feeling that you were in a tunnel. This shape was detrimental to speech intelligibility, which sank to near zero; it was a good thing they ran lots of foreign films so you could read the dialogue.
This abomination is an example of just how terrible a movie theatre can be when it is tortured into more than one screen, even though it was designed as a single — a sorry practice in the rush to multiplex. It is no wonder it drove patrons away.
Sadly, there are many, many theatres that should have been saved; this is not one of them.
Here's a photo when it was Cinema Plaza in 1980:
I remember passing by the theater when it was the Plaza and the for a quite awhile the community was up in arms because it was showing XXX rated movies. Then it went back to first run for a short time before closing.
After it switched back from porn, it played mainstream for many, many years.
Back in the late 50's, early 60's it showed most foreign and "art" movies.
Two color photos of the building as retail can be found in the body of this recent article: Forgotten-ny

Another amazing route on my new favorite Flatiron. Begin just around to the right from the steep south face of Seal Rock. A small flatironette called the Pup leans up against Seal Rock here, and they are separated by a wide crack. Climb this crack for 30 feet or so, then cut left and head up the East Face, aiming for an obvious tree. This pitch is the crux of the route. There is a mossy shallow water trough below the tree - I climbed to the right of it. From the tree, cut hard to the left (but still go up) on much easier terrain. After another rope length you will find a large chickehead that will make a great anchor. This isn't the mother of all chickenheads, but it's certainly your favorite chickenhead's big brother. From here, head up a few more rope lengths, picking back and forth as necessary to find the easiest way. Eventually you will be trending back to the right, and the summit is not much further.
Standard Flatiron rack.
There is an exciting runout after you leave the wide crack on the first pitch. You can get some gear about 20 feet after leaving the crack and a few feet below the 1st belay.
If you stay far enough left on the upper part of this route, you can climb up a cool indistinct rib on the far left side of the face which leads directly to the summit. If you stray rightward you will intersect the North Side route and can finish on the crack on that route. I never have found that chickenhead!
What a great route! It is noticeably harder in a few spots than the E. face North Side, but overall did not feel as sustained to me. An alternate start is to do only the first move or two in the crack described (and pictured) and pull left onto the face for excellent slab climbing in the 5.3-5.4 range. These moves are unprotected, but the difficulty eases off quickly. If one chooses to climb straight up from the tree for a piece before cutting left, there is a fairly large band of slippery sandstone to traverse in order to regain the north edge. While probably not more than 5.4, this would be hard to protect. It felt somewhat spicy to me, and in retrospect going left earlier would have been better. A stunning view and excellent marine life (and vexing questions as to how it got there) in the pools on top of Seal Rock make this a worthy undertaking!
I think I found the chicken head or maybe it should be called the buffalo head. Climb about 30 ft up from the tree and then traverse across to the south. You should bump into it before you hit the ridge.
The belay that I typically use at the top of the second pitch on this one could be the mythical chickenhead: it's a smallish flake above a large one, and it leans back at an angle parallel to the main rock. It looks more chickenheadish than flakish, though. I sling it and then slot a couple of nuts above the sling with a large cam below for opposition. From the second belay I tend to go straight up, in order to avoid the slick dark-red rock, but it gets a bit runout thataways; if you go right from the second belay, you hit the 100' finger crack pretty fast. (Does anyone go farther left, onto the red rock? If so, what is that like?) With a 60m rope it is a total of four pitches from the ground to the rap anchors; a nice variation is to use the third pitch to traverse directly right to the base of the finger crack, which then results in a total of five pitches.
Beautiful climb! We wound up combining this route with the North Side after the first pine tree. This certainly didn't detract from climbing the east face. There are a couple of rappel stations. We used the recently placed rainbow slings for what was a fairly civilized rappel... much nicer than I was led to believe :-)
Just a note about rapping off this thing! We rapped the Sea of Joy. (You come to the anchor 50' east of the summit) this is about 150' rap to the ground. If you don't have 2 ropes, you can rap 60' to a hangin' bolted anchor but... this anchor is an American triangle w/ 2 pieces of old spectra and one 8mm rope threw one of the bolts w/ no rap rings! We cleaned someone's 8mm rope that they had fixed to this station, but couldn't redo the anchor. It'd be great if someone brought some links and chain to make this a little better.... If I find my self up there again, I'll try to remember.
The raps down the notch are big beefy chain now with 3/8" links. You know, the finger crack at the top of this route is great in one way but a travesty in another. It's a joy to climb, but too bad it's not vertical. It would be one of the best pitches around Boulder if it were vertical or overhung!

Upon graduation from dental school -- to become a general dentist -- a dentist is awarded either a DDS or a DMD degree:
There is no difference between the two degrees -- both dentists have received the same education and completed the same curriculum requirements set by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. The difference is merely semantics -- some institutions award a DMD degree, while others award a DDS degree. Generally, three or more years of undergraduate college education plus four years of dental school are required to graduate and become a general dentist. State licensing boards accept either degree as equivalent, and both degrees allow licensed individuals to practice the same scope of general dentistry.
Additional post-graduate training is required to become a dental specialist. Dental/oral health specialists include the following:

2009-2010 Inactivated Influenza Vaccine
The Seasonal Flu Vaccine: What You Need to Know
- Why get vaccinated?
- Inactivated influenza vaccine
- Who should get inactivated influenza vaccine?
- When should I get influenza vaccine?
- Some people should talk with a doctor before getting influenza vaccine.
- What are the risks from inactivated influenza vaccine?
- What if there is a severe reaction?
- The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
- How can I learn more?
Why get vaccinated?
Influenza (the "flu") is a contagious disease.
It is caused by the influenza virus, which can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions.
Other illnesses can have the same symptoms and are often mistaken for influenza. But only an illness caused by the influenza virus is really influenza.
Anyone can get influenza, but rates of infection are highest among children. For most people, it lasts only a few days. It can cause:
- fever
- sore throat
- chills
- fatigue
- cough
- headache
- muscle aches
Some people, such as infants, elderly, and those with certain health conditions, can get much sicker. Flu can cause high fever and pneumonia, and make existing medical conditions worse. It can cause diarrhea and seizures in children. On average, 226,000 people are hospitalized every year because of influenza and 36,000 die – mostly elderly. Influenza vaccine can prevent influenza.
Inactivated influenza vaccine
There are two types of seasonal influenza vaccine:
- Inactivated (killed) vaccine, or the "flu shot" is given by injection into the muscle.
- Live, attenuated (weakened) influenza vaccine is sprayed into the nostrils.
Influenza viruses are always changing. Because of this, influenza vaccines are updated every year, and an annual vaccination is recommended.
Each year scientists try to match the viruses in the vaccine to those most likely to cause flu that year. When there is a close match the vaccine protects most people from serious influenza-related illness. But even when there is not a close match, the vaccine provides some protection. Influenza vaccine will not prevent "influenza-like" illnesses caused by other viruses.
It takes up to 2 weeks for protection to develop after the shot. Protection lasts up to a year.
Some inactivated influenza vaccine contains a preservative called thimerosal. Some people have suggested that thimerosal may be related to developmental problems in children. In 2004 the Institute of Medicine reviewed many studies looking into this theory and concluded that there is no evidence of such a relationship. Thimerosal-free influenza vaccine is available.

Maximize your health with these healthy nuts.We all know by now that kale, chia seeds, and quinoa are simply filled to the brim with vitamins and minerals, and although that we've been told nuts are good for us - some are even considered the ultimate superfoods - they often seem to get a bad rap.
RELATED: 10 Healthy Eating Habits to Pick Up
Many people shy away from nuts because they hear that they're high in calories and fat. But what people might not realize is that most of the fats found in nuts are the really good heart-healthy kind known as monounsaturated fats. So the fat you're consuming is only benefiting your health and not damaging your waistline.
Now that you know not to be scared of nuts simply because of their high fat counts, it's important to realize that certain nuts will offer different health benefits. For example, peanuts contain high amounts of folate, while almonds contain more calcium than any other kind of nut. In addition to each of their specific nutrient strengths, they each provide various amounts of other nutritional properties including protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Nuts are also one of the best sources of antioxidants, too.
Elyse Sosin, MA, RD, CDN, a registered dietitian in private practice in Manhattan, often recommends nuts as a snack to her clients. "There are so many different nuts to select from that even the fussiest eater will be able to find one type they like," she says.
"They are also perfect for snacking since they're easy to transport and require no refrigeration or heating," she added. Sosin confirms our belief that the fat found in nuts isn't bad for you, too. "Most contain a good amount of nutrients, some protein, and primarily 'good' fats," she explains.
RELATED: 10 Healthy Snacks for After-School Sports
Sosin also notes that people with health issues such as diabetes, gestational diabetes, and people with cardiac risks may include nuts into their diet and enjoy them. "If you're worried about the calorie content, my tip would be to portion them out ahead of time, as they can be hard to put down," she suggests. "Also, if possible, try to purchase only the unsalted and unroasted kind."
So, if you're as convinced as we are about the fact that nuts are great for our health, then you're probably wondering which to start snacking on. With the help of Sosin, we've come up with a list of 10 of the healthiest nuts, from common kinds like almonds and pecans, to not so common ones like Brazil nuts. If you're ready to go nuts for nuts and start improving your health with them, check out the healthiest nuts.
RELATED: 20 'Healthy' Foods That Are Actually Unhealthy (And How to Fix Them)
Pistachios are known as "the skinny nut," as they only contain about 3 calories apiece, are low in fat, and have a high amount of fiber. Pistachio nuts are a great source of vitamin B6, protein, potassium, and thiamin. A study from Pennsylvania State University reported that eating pistachios might help prevent high blood pressure by reducing cholesterol levels in people who have cardiovascular risks. Additionally, data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Frontiers Conference showed that a diet that includes a daily dose of pistachios could help decrease the risk of lung and other cancers. A 1-ounce serving of pistachio nuts amounts to 160 calories, and China leads the world in total pistachio consumption.
As great sources of iron, cashew nuts contain twice as much iron as ground beef, making them a great source for vegetarians and pregnant women. They're also rich in magnesium, which helps maintain healthy bones and is vital for energy. Cashews are also a source of calcium, vitamin B, zinc, folic acid, vitamin E, and trace amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. They also have a lower fat content than most other nuts and can help reduce the incidence of gallstones. A 1-ounce serving of cashew nuts contains 157 calories, and the cashew tree is from the same family as poison ivy.

Pecans are a great source of vitamin E and studies have shown they are can protect against Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and heart disease. Pecans are packed with plant sterols and are also antioxidant-rich, which helps prevent the plaque formation that causes hardening of the arteries and can be effective for lowering cholesterol levels. As pecans are a good source of vitamin B3, they are the perfect choice if you're feeling lethargic, as this vitamin helps us access the energy in our food.. A 1-ounce serving of pecan nuts amounts to 196 calories, and the pecan tree has been the Texas state tree since 1919.
Also known as Monkey Nuts, peanuts are technically a legume, and contain higher levels of protein than most "real" nuts. Studies have shown that regular peanut consumption helps improve cholesterol levels and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. Research from the University of Florida discovered that peanuts are rich in antioxidants, which protect cells from damage linked to heart disease and cancer. They are also good for keeping blood sugar levels even and so could be a source of protection against type-2 diabetes. They are a good source of vitamin E, which helps protect the skin, and they contain adequate amounts of vitamin B, fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Americans spend almost $800 million a year on peanut butter, consuming about 150 calories in every ounce.

Brazil Nuts
The greatest health benefit of the Brazil nut is its high selenium content. It has been claimed that selenium can help protect again prostate and breast cancers, AIDS symptoms, male fertility, skin disorders, anxiety, and asthma. It is also crucial for thyroid health. Don't eat too many of these, though. Eating Brazil nuts in large quantities may cause selenosis, also known as selenium poisoning. Thankfully, you only need one Brazil nut each day to get the recommended daily amount of selenium, and at 186 calories for 1 ounce, we're OK with that. Brazil nuts are also a good source of E and B vitamins and essential fatty acids. These super-healthy nuts are plentiful, too, because in just a year, a Brazil nut tree can produce approximately 250 pounds of nuts.

It will take weeks, perhaps months, to determine all the ramifications of the Supreme Court ruling upholding much of the national health care law. One change ordered by the court is clear, however: States may not have to expand their Medicaid programs as much as had been thought.
Part of the high court's ruling concerns the federal mandate that Medicaid health insurance be offered to anyone with household income below 133 percent of the official federal poverty level. Justices ruled Washington cannot enforce that demand by withholding federal Medicaid money from states that refuse to comply.
Obeying the rule could add as many as 140,000 people to Medicaid rolls in West Virginia. Though Medicaid costs are shared by states and the federal government, the additional direct cost to West Virginians could be in the $200 million range annually.
Our state cannot afford that level of new spending without tax increases in some form. In West Virginia, costs for the existing Medicaid program, without any additions, have increased by about $200 million a year.
While the nation's highest court has ruled federal officials cannot threaten to cut off money states use to help low-income residents in order to force them to assist more people, it is unclear what other forms of pressure can be used to force compliance with all the health care law's requirements. For now, however, it seems the states may have options.
In West Virginia, those options need to be clarified. Then, state officials need to decide how to proceed - whether to expand Medicaid to the point demanded by the law, to increase it somewhat, or to leave it alone. Debate over how to proceed should begin as soon as possible. It should be based on a reality residents and officials of our states, if not all those in Washington, understand - that we cannot always afford to spend as much as we would like.

CalPERS strikes fear in the hearts of private equity firms
Max Whittaker/Getty Images
A sign stands in front of California Public Employees' Retirement System building in Sacramento.
Yesterday, CalPERS, the huge California public employees pension fund, announced some good news: the $248 billion colossus made a 13.26 percent return on its investments in calendar year 2012. They're dancing with their spread sheets in Sacramento, because that's a vast improvement over the 2012 fiscal year performance, which ended on June 30.
How bad was the fiscal year performance? One percent.
Yep, one percent. It was bad.
CalPERS has targeted a rate of return for its investments of 7.5 percent — a target that it reduced from 7.75 percent last year. So that 13.26 percent return, if it holds up through the fiscal year, will go a long way toward helping CalPERS make up what it lost last year.
However, as CalPERS Chief Investment Officer John Dear pointed out and Pensions & Investments reported, that 13.26 percent wasn't as thrilling as it sounds. It was "117 basis points below the retirement system's custom benchmark for the calendar year."
How big should venture capital be? Try less than $25 billion
AFP/AFP/Getty Images
A Palo Alto startup. You can still get funding, but if you don't succeed rapidly after early stage investment, you could be in trouble.
Earlier this week, the National Venture Capital Association and Thompson Reuters assessed the current state of the VC fundraising landscape. The verdict is that VC has "settled in a 'new normal,'" with the total number of funds decreasing while the total amount of money raised went up in 2012.
That performance lived up to expectations from earlier this year.
The total raised was $20.6 billion, which the NVCA suggests is the "Goldilocks" number: Not too big, not too small — but just right. There's a sense in the VC world that it's critical to keep the total amount of money raised under $25 billion.
That much money flowing into VC on an annual basis means that entrepreneurship and innovation can be funded in an optimal manner, without too many bad companies and bad ideas getting money, just because VCs need to put their funds to work.
Why was CalSTRS investing in gun company linked to Newtown massacre?
The headquarters of the California State Teachers Retirement System in Sacramento. Like many big pension funds, it's increasingly invested in a riskier manner to meet return targets. This led to its investment with Cerberus Capital Management and the gunmaker that built the weapon used in the Newtown massacre.
Just to lay it out for you:
• Adam Lanza, a disturbed young man, killed 20 children, his mother, and six other adults in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday before killing himself
• He used a "Bushmaster" automatic rifle, a civilian variation of the AR-15, a military rifle that traces its heritage to the M-16
• The company that owns Bushmaster, Freedom Group, is owned by Cerberus Capital Management, a prominent private equity fund that...
• Raised at least $500 million from the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) for a fund that invested in Freedom Group.
It's one of those gruesome loops – the serpent eating its own tail – that can only result from the intersection of private-equity, the huge pension funds that provide private-equity with money, and the imperative for funds like CalSTRS to hit their annual return targets.
CalPERS just struck fear in the hearts of venture capitalists everywhere
Max Whittaker/Getty Images
The California Public Employees' Retirement System in Sacramento, California. The fund may severely cut back its venture capital investments.
CalPERS, the gigantic California public workers' pension fund, has announced that it's going to to review the venture-capital component of alternative investments in its $230-billion overall portfolio. This follows on the heels of a much-discussed paper put out by the Kauffman Foundation earlier this year, in which the organization — which is devoted to promoting entrepreneurship — revealed that its VC investments has seriously underperformed in the past decade.
I wrote a feature about this in May. In January, CalPERS announced that it made only a 1.1-percent return on its investments, missing its target return of 7.75 percent by a wide margin. One of the reasons it in alternative asset classes like VC in the first place is that it can't meet its return objectives otherwise.
The fundraising aspect of being a VC has gotten pretty challenging. Some VCs seem to be adapting to this "new normal," while others appear content to live at the top of the pile and uses their brand-name status to vacuum up most of the available money. But they all rely on large funds like CalPERS to fuel their efforts to find the next Google or Facebook.
DeBord Report Live: Felix Salmon edition
EMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP/Getty Images
The Facebook IPO announced on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Did it's inability to live up to the hype doom the IPO revival?
We welcomed Reuters finance blogger — and recent Loeb Award winner — Felix Salmon to the Crawford Family Forum last Thursday to talk IPOs, as part of my "DeBord Report Live" series. Specifically, whether the IPO is D-E-A-D. Felix has lately been making a very strong case against the traditional IPO, in Wired and elsewhere. He's outlined an alternative model, of sorts. So we got to engage in some lively conversation on the topic, and we enjoyed some excellent contributions and questions from the audience.
We also got more mileage out of the three terrible slides I grabbed to contribute to the conversation than I ever thought possible.
An interesting product of the evening's discussion was our kind of shared realization that the business of Silicon Valley (broadly defined, but basically the Bay Area tech scene) isn't necessarily the creation of new companies — it's the creation of venture capitalists.

The most common problem with most air beds is that they auto-deflate during the night. It can be tedious to get up in the middle of the night each day and inflate the bed. The solution to this problem is the Insta Raised Queen Air Bed. I would rate it the best inflatable of 2014 when it comes to keeping the air pressure at a constant level for prolonged period.
Quality Sleep Throughout The Night:
The mattress has unique Never Flat pump that is built inside the mattress. Once the pump is plugged in, sensors easily find out if the bed is losing air and starts inflating the bed. The Medium, Plush and Firm settings suit every type of requirements.
The beauty of this Insta model is that it comes in two sizes, twin and queen. No need to pump in the middle of the night anymore, just switch on the plug and have the most comfortable sleep ever.

The people in the program are wonderful, but the program lacks opportunities and post-graduate support.
Although I did not enjoy the program I was in, the professors in other academic fields were amazing.
Rigorous enough to challenge even the brightest students, but not it's not overwhelming. BSC's no Harvard, but it's far from a cakewalk. Be prepared to write. A lot.
In terms of academics, BSC is really a top-rate school. The standards are pretty high, so you can't expect to always get an A, no matter how smart you are, but you definitely will learn a lot from great faculty.
I'm only a freshman but I've been very pleased with my education so far. I'm an Elem Ed major and I have take a few educations classes already that I really enjoy. The teachers are great.

If you're looking for a place where you can bloom academically, then being at a small school is definitely a plus. Southern specializes in small classes, and there is a pleasantly small ratio of temporary or adjunct teachers. Most classes are discussion-based and require a sizeable amount of group work, and the academic curriculum is different from other colleges in the area in a variety of ways. For example, special courses for freshmen, called "1-Y" courses, are designed to enhance the freshman experience by providing more in-depth and personal classroom attention during the crucial first year. Outside of the classroom, students are required to attend at least 40 designated cultural events, such as speeches and forums, in order to graduate. Some students complain about the extra requirements, but by the time they graduate, they realize the value of having been exposed to some culture before being released into the real world.
If you're looking for a place where you can slip through the cracks without ever being challenged, then BSC is definitely not the college to attend. The academic standards tend to be fairly high, and while parties do happen, Southern isn't really what you would call a "party school." Faculty and administration are always stressing the importance of learning critical-thinking skills and being well-rounded and intelligent, which is the essence of liberal arts.

Volvo Buses is now focusing firmly on hybrid buses for city traffic in Europe. As of 2014 Volvo will only offer its complete, low-floor city buses as hybrids on the European market. Volvo is also expanding its hybrid model range with an articulated bus.
Environmentally optimised, economical and highly efficient. Volvo Buses is now launching an all-new series of right-sized engines that meet the new Euro 6 requirements.
"In general Euro 6 means higher fuel consumption, but thanks to engines with lower weight, smart new alternators and electrification of various components, we've been able to improve fuel efficiency in virtually all our bus models," says Johnny Lidman, Product Manager City buses, Europe, at Volvo Buses.
Volvo Buses continues to go from strength to strength with its hybrid buses. So far, more than 800 have been sold and with the latest, extremely fuel-efficient Volvo 7900 Hybrid version, interest has reached new heights. This autumn, several new products will be unveiled that further contribute to customer productivity.
Seats that are more comfortable, weigh less and boost the operator's productivity. This is what Volvo Buses is launching in autumn 2012 in its Volvo 9500, 9700 and 9900 tourist coaches and Volvo 8900 intercity bus.
Volvo Buses announces a new double-deck city bus for the UK and Irish markets. The new B5TL is equipped with a new, fuel efficient high performing Euro 6 engine which offers substantial fuel, weight and life cycle cost reductions compared to the current product, the popular Volvo B9TL.
Volvo Buses' new Web-based tool – Volvo Bus Telematics – gives bus operators better control over their vehicles' fuel consumption and allows them to tailor maintenance to meet individual needs. These are measures that can deliver fuel savings of about 10 percent. The hardware is fitted as standard in Volvo's hybrid bus.

Sex is just about everywhere you turn: it's in movies, music and magazines. However, there's an explosion of teens and young adults pledging purity under pressure.
"It's the struggle between what's normal, what's pop culture, what's happening around you, versus what's really right," says Eryka Waller.
Meet 21-year old Eryka Waller. She's a beauty with a bubbly personality and brains.
"When I put my mind to something, I'm not turning away from it," she says.
Eryka is a senior in college and looks to get her masters within the next three years. She's focused. And she has chosen abstinence.
"I think once you're really comfortable in yourself, it's like I'm not going to let myself down for somebody else," she says.
Her influence comes mostly from a strong Christian upbringing and family, but Eryka says she ultimately made the decision for herself.
"To be able to, when I have children, show them that … it is ok and it can be cool and it's not a bad thing to wait for marriage or wait for that one person," remarks Waller.
20-year-old friends, Amanda Razzi and Timothy Smith, are embarking on the same journey.
"It's hard and it can be discouraging and it can be awkward, but I believe this is what's best for me," says Razzi.
Both were introduced to abstinence in church and rely on their faith, but even with faith, they admit it can be hard to fight the feeling.
"The average kid isn't sharing the same mindset," says Smith. "I mean, if you're dating someone, I would say to really try to hang out in groups. I know that's really cliché[,] but the basement is like the devil's den. You're down there, it's dark[,] the movie's on[.] Just hang out in the light, in the family room. When you're family is there, you're not doing anything in front of your parents."
It all sounds good, but researchers say there's a dark and even dangerous side to the purity pledge. Despite young people vowing to not "lay down," sexually transmitted diseases or infections remain up.
"A lot of children or young adults will continue to say I'm a virgin. I'm a virgin, but they've had oral sex or they've engaged in anal sex," says Dr. Rosalyn Pitts. "And they don't consider that a sexual act or something that takes away their virginity. And those are very high risk behaviors."
Licensed and school certified psychologist Dr. Rosalyn Pitts gives straight talk about teens and young adults who "cheat" the pledge. She encourages parents to do more than just scratch the surface on sex talk.
"What we're finding is that while abstinence-only in my household is the expectation, we still have to equip kids with the knowledge they need, so if they choose not to stay abstinent that they can protect themselves," Pitts says.
Eryka says there are no exceptions to her purity pledge, and communication is key to staying faithful to it.
"That's one of the first things I tell people when I'm about to start dating because that's something I'm not going to change on," says Waller.

Staten Island
Ask any Staten Island homeowner, real estate agent, or interior designer who is the best in custom closets in your area, and it's pretty likely they'll say "California Closets"!
That's right - don't be skewed by the name. California Closets has been serving Staten Island since 1986, and is proud to have built up a solid reputation in your community as the best provider of high quality customized products and excellent customer service.
Locally owned and operated, California Closets is definitely more "Staten Island" than it is California...!
Visit Our Cranbury, NJ Showroom
Want to see what California Closets designs look like in real life, and see how they function in a real home environment? Come see our showroom in Cranbury, NJ -- just a short drive from Staten Island.
All in the Family
More than just locally owned and operated, California Closets is also a family operation, and has been so since its humble beginnings 25 years ago.
We (Dan and Shiva Nili) came to the US in 1984 and opened the franchise soon after -- happy to be part of such an incredible brand, and dedicated to upholding that reputation through a dedication to quality and unsurpassed customer service.
Our son, Eric Nili, has worked with us for the past six years, putting his energy into making our business even better.
3 Reasons to Choose California Closets
- Knowledge. Put simply, our Design Consultants are just the best in the industry. Our designs are reflective of decades of knowledge in creating the best solution to maximize space.
- Experience. We've been in business since 1986, so our lifetime guarantee means something. What happens if a company offers you a "lifetime guarantee"and they go out of business in 2 years? That's right -- you've got nothing.
- Service. Our customers regularly tell us that we spend more time than anybody else discussing their needs and their use of the space. We think this step is crucial to design a closet, office, or garage storage system that truly works for our customers.
But Wait, There's More
Our Products! When push comes to shove, what really makes California Closets unique is our products. We are constantly upgrading our product line, phasing out inferior components. (For example, we use full extension ball-bearing drawer slides instead of white epoxy; aluminum (gold silver and oil rubbed bronze) poles instead of wood or plastic, and birch plywood drawer boxes instead of MDF core.)
How can we maintain such strict control over quality and create such incredibly customized storage solutions for your space? That's easy -- it's because everything is made right down the street from us! All California Closets Staten Island products are manufactured in our production facility in Cranbury, NJ. In an age where everyone is outsourcing jobs overseas, our franchise is proud to employ American workers.
Best Value
California Closets offers seasonal promotions and events to ensure that our customers have continuous opportunities for more value. We often offer better pricing for large jobs -- and if you're in the industry (designers, decorators, architects, & builders) ask us about our trade discounts.
Working in Your Community
We proudly support local causes on Staten Island, including a Staten Island Golf Tournament to benefit the families of 9/11 policemen and firemen.
In addition, we offered our products and services to a school in Toms River, NJ, to convert a room to a custom closet and improve their storage situation.
We've also outfitted the entire office and display area for Dress for Success, an organization that helps single mothers find work.
