Gran Fondo
Did you happen to catch us at the Gran Fondo NJ on September 11th? We were the Official Coffee Sponsor of the event, fulfilling all of the riders caffeine needs – before, during, and after the race. The Gran-Fondo Guide named the Gran Fondo NJ as the "#1 Gran Fondo in the US" citing incredible rest stops, awe-inspiring routes, King and Queen of the Mountain competitions, post ride festival, and focus on giving back to the community. When we decided to expand our relationship with all things biking this year, we knew the Gran Fondo NJ was an event we couldn't miss.
The Gran Fondo NJ's focus on philanthropy inspired us to set a lofty goal for our fundraiser on behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, a cause close the hearts of the Segafredo team. With the generosity of our vendors and hard work of our employees we raised over $45,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, blowing away our goal of $25,000.
Prior to clipping in and riding out, cyclists were treated to hot coffee and shots of espresso. Out on the rides, our single serve espresso machines fueled the endless climbs. But the real fun was had at the expo tent on The Morristown Green, where we were serving up nitro cold brew, iced tea, and espresso drinks during the post-event festivities.
And it wouldn't be a bicycle event if Segafredo didn't have a team involved! 22 riders from across the country came together to make up Team Segafredo. Massimo Zanetti Beverage employees (Segafredo Zanetti's parent company), vendors, friends, and family all put on the Segafredo jersey and rode their hearts out, fueled by their favorite coffee brand.

Many homeowners have their own plan for maintenance around the home every year. Clean the gutters in the spring to make sure they aren't clogged, trim the yard while the weather is nice, sweep the floors every week—you know the drill. Basic home upkeep is important, but it's just as important to not forget about a part of your home you may not think about often: your heater and air conditioner.
Unlike a grimy floor or an unkempt yard, though, an unmaintained or neglected furnace or AC unit isn't immediately apparent if you aren't thinking about it. Some homeowners unknowingly go years without servicing or maintaining their HVAC systems. We're so used to AC in the summer and heat in December that it's easy to forget the systems in place that help bring those comfortable temperatures about.
The bad part is that forgetting to maintain your HVAC system can cause headaches down the road. Anyone who's lived in their house for a day in the scorching heat of July can tell you that! The good news is that, should something happen to your HVAC system, our team here at B & B Heating & Cooling is here to help.
With many years of experience amongst our team, we have the expertise needed to quickly identify and rectify problems with your heater or air conditioning unit, large or small. Need your home's HVAC system inspected, and quickly? Give us a call at 314-325-7552 and we'll figure out a plan to take care of the problem.
If you can't recall the last time you had your home's heater or air conditioner serviced, that's okay! Scheduling an appointment with the B & B Heating & Cooling team will help get you back on track. Once we finish working on your home's HVAC system, we'd also be happy to schedule an annual appointment to keep it running at peak condition. Scheduling this type of professional maintenance is the single best way for you to prevent serious problems down the road.
Of course, eventually, all units need to be replaced. If your air conditioning unit is on its last legs or you just want to upgrade to something more energy efficient, let us know! Our line of furnaces and AC units carries the important ENERGY STAR certification, paired with one of the best warranties in the business. Certain products also have other unique features like allergen filtration, humidity control, and quiet operation. Tell us what you're looking for and we will be able to find something that fits your needs.
For all of your HVAC-related needs, there's no one better in Lake Saint Louis than B & B Heating & Cooling. We value quality customer service and want to make sure we do everything we can to meet the needs of our customers. No matter whether you're scheduling routine maintenance, in need of emergency HVAC service, or just looking to replace or upgrade a unit, give us a call at 314-325-7552 and we would be happy to help.

Paige Montgomery of the LA Music Blog recently conducted an interview with STATIC-X frontman Wayne Static. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
LA Music Blog: Tell me about the new lineup. Is this group going to stick for the long run or is this just who is going out with you for this upcoming two-week run?
Wayne: Well, I love all my guys. I had a few changes in 2012. One of my bass players, Brent [Ashley] — he left. Then Frankie came in, then Frankie left. I've got this guy Andrew Cole right now, who's awesome. He plays in a band right now in L.A. with the COAL CHAMBER guys, with Meegs and Mikey.
LA Music Blog: WE ARE THE RIOT…
Wayne: Yeah, yeah. So the bass player from those guys jams with me. And then Ashes, he's been my guitar player since day one, so he's my guy. And then drums, I'm bringing back Bevan Davies, who did the last two STATIC-X tours. He lives in Atlanta. I've already toured with him, so I'm not worried about him. He's really solid. He's got that real old-school STATIC-X feel, ya know? The first STATIC-X drummer, Kenny Lacey, had this basic kind of style and that's what Bevan does — just real solid and basic. It's really cool playing the old shit with him because he really nails it.
LA Music Blog: Do you like going out on the smaller club runs? This tour is mostly 500-2,000 seat venues I see…
Wayne: Yeah. Ya know, we're starting slow, and I don't have the STATIC-X name anymore. I made a deal with Tony [Campos], my old bass player, last year. He's the only legal STATIC-X member besides me. I paid him a bunch of money last year to use the name, and he's just a greedy motherfucker, man. He just hates me to death. He's trying to gouge the shit out of me. I made him an offer to give him 25 percent of my net profits and he refused it. He wants this outrageous number. [laughs] He wants more money than I make in a year, and he's just doing it on purpose because he hates me for whatever reason. But he doesn't want to play in STATIC-X, though. I gave him the opportunity, like, "Do you want to tour with us?" He's like, "No." Okay, well, "Will you let me use the name?" "No." [laughs] He's basically just telling me, like, "Fuck you." Ya know? [laughs] I'm like well, at least my name is Wayne Static and people know who I am. I'm not just some jack-off bass player that used to play in a band called STATIC-X. I'm like, "Fuck you," ya know? I'm still playing in a band called WAYNE STATIC. It's a little bit smaller because not everyone knows the name WAYNE STATIC, and everyone knows the name STATIC-X, but we're gonna build it up. I basically made the choice that STATIC-X is done, unless Tony changes his mind at some point, which I doubt he will. We're just going to build on STATIC-X. The funny thing is that it's still the same guys that played with STATIC-X last year, the same songs basically…we just can't call it STATIC-X.
LA Music Blog: Has there been any communication at all with Tony since last November?
Wayne: I tried to reach out to him. I reached out to him at the end of 2012 when I had to cancel the end of the tour because my hernia was so bad, I just couldn't play anymore. I said, "Dude, this is a good deal we've got going. If you give me some time off, I can get my surgery and I'll heal up, then when I'm ready to go, we'll start the deal up again." And he basically told me to go fuck off. He said, "Keep paying me or the deal is done." So I'm like alright…I guess I'm fucking off then. Like who doesn't want free money? I'm paying the dude to do nothing, and he told me to fuck off. Whatever.
LA Music Blog: I just caught Tony a couple weeks ago in L.A. with SOULFLY…
Wayne: I don't know what his deal is, man. I just don't know. I know he's happy playing with SOULFLY, and it's a cool band and whatever, but I don't know why he's gotta be such a dick to me. I don't understand it.
LA Music Blog: So with all of that going on over the past year and the issues with STATIC-X, how important is 2014 for Wayne Static?
Wayne: Well, I plan on having a big-ass year. It's the fifteenth anniversary of "Wisconsin Death Trip". I'm doing the "Wisconsin Death Tour". I'm planning a world tour. We're gonna hit Europe, Australia, we're going to China. We're fucking doing Japan. I'm going to do two runs around the U.S. We're going to be on tour most of next year. We're going to play the first album front to back, then we're going to do an eight-song encore, which will be different songs each night. That will allow us to do multiple nights in big towns like L.A. and Chicago. I think it's going to be really cool, and I think fans are going to dig it. There are songs on "Wisconsin Death Trip" that we've never even played live, so it should be interesting. [laughs]

WordPress 2.3 for Android gains Holo interface and menu drawer
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/18/wordpress-goes-to-holowood/
Bloggers have been getting plenty of love on Android as of late, and if WordPress happens to be your platform of choice, you'll be glad to know that your time in the sun has arrived. Similar to Tumblr's recent overhaul, WordPress was just updated with a new Holo interface, and it's really quite the looker. First and foremost, you'll notice that WordPress now looks like a proper Android app, complete with an action bar for tasks such as creating posts and sharing to other apps. With a flick of the thumb, you'll also notice a menu drawer that's accessible from the left-hand side, which replaces the old school dashboard interface that was found in previous versions of WordPress for Android. We can't say the new features will help you overcome writer's block, but at least you'll have something pretty to look at while you ponder your next great post.

We caught up with the star to find out everything about her latest gig, and what's going on in her personal life...
Madison Beer is making a very big name for herself. She's just released her very first EP 'As She Pleases', announced a sold-out European tour across 14 venues, and now? The star – who you'll probably know best as the one whose voice was uncovered by Justin Bieber via Twitter – has just released a 63 piece collection with Missguided. We caught up with her for all the goss…
What made you want to work with Missguided?
Missguided listens to everything I say and really get me, they're really on board with my style.
What's your fave piece from the Madison Beer Missguided collection?
The fanny pack.
How will you wear it?
Everything under the sun, at night with a dress or during the day with a hoody, they go with everything and black goes with everything.
Top, £18, Madison Beer x Missguided
Skirt, £25, Madison Beer x Missguided
What's been your fave part of the design process so far?
Seeing it come to life, it's been really cool to hold a piece of my clothing line, it's sick.
Who would you most like to see in your designs?
Who would you least like to see in your designs?
Donald Trump.
Where do you usually shop?
90% of my clothes are from vintage stores. It's not about where you buy but how you look.
What's your fave high street store?
Urban outfitters. I'm really basic when it comes to stores.
Top, £25, Madison Beer x Missguided
Trousers, £40, Madison Beer x Missguided
Do you have a stylist or do you dress yourself?
I only have a stylist when I go to big events but even then I give them moodboards to show exactly how I want to look so I'm mostly in control. I dress myself on a daily basis though.
What's your daily skincare routine?
Literally just a Tatcha cleansing oil, nothing else, that's literally it. I sometimes use the title Sunday Riley moisturiser. I stopped using make up wipes and it made my skin so much better, they messed up my skin big time.
And make-up?
Just a bit of concealer and bronzer, I try not to wear make up as much as I can. Im not big on make up. I only have a make up artist for events.
Crop top, £15, Madison Beer x Missguided
Shorts, £25, Madison Beer x Missguided
What regular beauty treatments do you have?
I'm not so pampered, I'm not that kind of girl, but I do love a good massage. I don't really get girls that are obsessed with pampering like that.
If you could only have 1 beauty product/regular treatment for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Lip balm or face moisturiser. When my face feels dry I hate myself.
How often do you workout? What's your routine?
I could count on one hand how many times I've worked out. I walk up a flight of stairs and I'm fully winded like I've just ran a marathon but the tour is definitely helping me build up my stamina since I'm on stage every night.
SEE: Exclusive: Jourdan Dunn On Her New Missguided Collection
What do you eat in a day?
Junk, all day every day. Everytime I feel like I'm gaining a bit of weight I'll eat healthily for like 3 days then I'll be like 'oh I look skinny again', then I'll go back to eating bad, but I tell myself it's ok, I'm only 19 so I can do it while I can. My mum and I are similar in that sense – she's like 'I started my diet yesterday now I'm in bed eating an ice cream cake'.
Do you have a trainer?
Absolutely not.
Can you describe what happened when you found out Justin Bieber had discovered you?
I uploaded a Youtube vid and expected to get like 100 views from people in my hometown. He tweeted three times, but I remember I was in bed one time and my friend Nicole called me to tell me what had happened, and the next thing I knew Good Morning America were knocking at my door.
How quickly did things change for you?
Overnight. I signed with a huge agency the same week. I was freaking out.
Trousers, £22, Madison Beer x Missguided
Top, £12, Madison Beer x Missguided
Are you still friends with him?
Yeah we are good friends, he's still one of my close friends.
Is music still your biggest career focus, or are you hoping to work more in fashion?
I haven't always been a fashionista, but I've only recently got fully into it.
We know you're going on tour this summer, what other plans do you have? Any holidays?
It's my first tour. I'm playing at a few festivals.
Do you have a lot of time for friends and relationships with everything going on in your career?
Latest Stories
I don't have much time to see my friends, I wish I had more. I don't have any holidays planned, I'm not even going to Coachella this year, it's not that amazing, I went last year and I didn't love it so I'm not that upset that I'm not going again.
What's your fave thing to do with friends?
I'd rather just chill and watch Rick and Morty or maybe some movies.
And boyfriend?
I don't have a boyfriend at the moment, I just chill with everyone.
The full collection is available now at Missguided, and trust us when we say you're going to want it a-l-l.

Ever since last year's King Krule EP, I (and many, many others) have been scouring live videos and music blogs for any news of an upcoming full-length or any tracks to add to the six or seven I've been playing on repeat over the past year. And after nearly a year of waiting, I am happy to announce a BRAND NEW(!!!)… single. A 7-inch single. All that waiting for a damn A-side/B-side teaser. Hasn't the release order always been something like 7-inch, EP, full-length? What gives, King Krule? How long must we wait?
At least this single, "Rock Bottom," rules. This kid is just perfecting his weirdo freestyle take on that lounge sound. And when the drums kick in at the end as he borrows that "It's the end of something I did not want to end…" lyric from that Streets song "Empty Cans," it's as heavy as when Mike Skinner sang it, only he capped off an entire concept album with it. King Krule here achieves the same heaviness in just over four minutes. I've gotta keep my eye on this one.
Check out "Rock Bottom" below and look for the single to be released September 24 on Rinse.

Make certain there are no spaces in the installation executable filename. (I renamed my download FirefoxSetup17_0_7esr.exe) It just doesn't like it!
I chose to modify the ini configuration settings found here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments and save the file as config17_0_7.ini .... This is the resulting batch (cmd) file uploaded & run through Kace:
@echo off
REM Install FireFox 17.0.7
echo Installing Firefox - Please Wait.
echo Window will close after install is complete
REM Using configuration settings (in ini file) which installs program silently by default:
"***my absolute server path***\FirefoxSetup17_0_7esr.exe" /INI="***my absolute server path***\config17_0_7.ini"
exit 0
Modifying the Default Profile
Firefox saves its profiles in the user's %appdata% folder, so each user will have a new Firefox profile created for them. To modify things like the default home page and bookmarks, you can create a folder at %FirefoxInstallDir%\defaults\profile. See the link below for more information. http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/30/customizing-firefox-default-profiles/
Note: The blog post mentions the omni.ja file; it shouldn't be necessary to modify this since creating the defaults\profile directory serves the same purpose. This is a more preferred method of modifying defaults.
You can also actually repackage Firefox's setup.exe file to include the defaults\profile folder. More information on that is here: http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/14/customizing-the-firefox-installer-on-windows-2012/

| 8.6°C Belfast
Glasgow Warriors are prepared for a reaction from Edinburgh in Sunday's second back-to-back Magners League meetings between Scotland's two professional sides at Murrayfield.
The Warriors enter the second of the Greaves Sports 1872 Cup games having won 30-18 at Firhill on Monday, and Max Evans, who scored one of Glasgow's three tries in the first leg, anticipates another tough encounter.
The Scotland centre told www.glasgowwarriors.org: "It was great to get the first game out the way with a win. We talked all week going into the game that we were going to be relentless - that was our key word - and that came through throughout the game."
He added: "Edinburgh were very dominant in the contact area, but we managed to get the ball in the right areas and come away with points.
"It was a huge confidence boost going into this game which we all know is going to be just as hard."
Scotland centre Graeme Morrison damaged his knee on Monday and has been ruled out, while replacement flanker Chris Fusaro has been suspended for one week after being sent off along with Edinburgh lock Scott MacLeod on Monday.
Peter Murchie will line up at number 12 in place of Morrison, with Peter Horne coming on to the bench, while Ryan Wilson will take Fusaro place among the replacements.
Edinburgh have won five of their seven home games in the Magners League this season and defeated Castres in the Heineken Cup in their last outing at Murrayfield.
Glasgow head coach Sean Lineen said: "We need to improve on last week if we are to be in with a chance of winning at Murrayfield.
"Edinburgh will be hurting after the first leg - we know because we've been there before - and they will come out firing on all cylinders."

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Camping (07/11/05)
- TITLE: The Legacy | Previous Challenge Entry
By Anita Neuman
Only now do I realize how much work it must have been for Mom and Dad to take four kids camping. It would have been no easy feat to pack our clothes, beach toys, fishing gear, swimming floats, campfire cookware, craft supplies, games, and bedding into every available compartment in the trailer. Then they needed to plan the menu so carefully that a week's worth of food for six people could be crammed into that tiny fridge. We took turns for everything: where to sit at the table, sleeping on that top bunk, helping Dad build the campfire, washing dishes, and choosing what game to play next – devising and maintaining this schedule could have been a full-time job, but Mom always managed to pull it off with a divine combination of authority and grace. And it wasn't the plethora of available activities that kept us from boredom as much as it was the creativity of our parents that kept us constantly busy.
My parents still camp with their four children, although we've added three spouses and eight grandchildren to the mix. They've bought a new RV that only sleeps two, and the rest of us make do with our tents. They have plenty of room to pack their own food and clothes. The burden now falls to us to strategically cram the largest possible selection of entertainments into our car trunks. We're the ones who need to deal with impatient little travelers, and sleep-deprived nighthawks. It's our job to convince the children that the storms aren't scary and to take them to the outhouse in the middle of the night.
Yes, the work is plentiful and all that effort hardly constitutes a vacation. But the rewards far outweigh the trouble. My children get to have water-fights with their cousins. They roast marshmallows and go star-spinning when it's way past their bedtime. They get to go swimming with Grandpa and eat heart-shaped pancakes from Grandma's griddle. They play baseball and Snakes and Ladders with their uncles and aunts. They use outhouses and play flashlight tag and make scary shadows on their cousins' tent walls.
The work is plentiful, but I'm happy to do it in order that my children can make memories that will last a lifetime. And I'm grateful for parents who still go to the trouble to make more memories for me.

I'm having an issue with Cognos 10. I'm trying to calculate the number of days between to dates so I use the _days_between( date1, date2 ) function.
_days_between ([Derniere Date Changement diaphragme] , [Premiere Date Changement diaphragme])
I'm quite sure the two Dates are Date objects ( I set them to Dates in the properties anbd the data type from the DB is Date), but I get this error :
QE-DEF-0459 CCLException
QE-DEF-0260 Erreur d'analyse syntaxique avant ou près de la position 55 de '_days_between([Derniere Date Changement diaphragme],'
QE-DEF-0261 QFWP - Analyse du texte : days_between ([Derniere Date Changement diaphragme] , [Premiere Date Changement diaphragme])
Sorry for the error being in french, the error is a parsing error. I tried to use the function with "hard" dates, other dates from my DB, but nothing works!
EDIT : The function works only if I use _days_between( date1 ; date2) instead of _days_between( date1, date2) (Why?)
But I still can't calculate the number of days between the two dates. The function returns 0. However, _days_between( [Derniere Date Changement Diaphragme] ; 2015-05-01) works fine.
Any idea what's happening over here?

KELOWNA - There are some new rules to follow if you're driving Highway 97 through Kelowna, starting January 19.
The High Occupancy Vehicle lanes will transition to time-of-day operations. From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday excluding holidays, the HOV lanes must be observed. At all other times, the lanes will be available to all road users, according to a media release from the B.C. ministry of transportation.
The change is intended to recognize periods when traffic volumes and transit use are at peak levels. From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, HOV lanes can be used by vehicles with two or more occupants, Handy Dart buses, motorcycles, taxis and B.C. Transit buses only.
HOV lanes running between Water Street, Pandosy Street and Highway 33 were originally implemented in 2009 to support the Rapid Transit project as a safety feature as well as allowing buses to move efficiently along the highway, thereby encouraging public transit use to ease congestion and pollution.
With the changes come increased enforcement, the ministry says. As well, there are plans for continued expansion along the Rapid Bus route toward UBCO in the future.
More information on Kelowna's HOV lanes can be found online and also by calling 250-712-3660.

This is the first scholarly book to fully address the topics of the psychology of deceptive persuasion in the marketplace and consumer self-protection. Deception permeates the American marketplace. Deceptive marketing harms consumers' health, welfare and financial resources, reduces people's privacy and self-esteem, and ultimately undermines trust in society. Individual consumers must try to protect themselves from marketers' misleading communications by acquiring personal marketplace deception-protection skills that go beyond reliance on legal or regulatory protections. Understanding the psychology of deceptive persuasion and consumer self-protection should be a central goal for future consumer behavior research.
The authors explore these questions. What makes persuasive communications misleading and deceptive? How do marketing managers decide to prevent or practice deception in planning their campaigns? What skills must consumers acquire to effectively cope with marketers' deception tactics? What does research tell us about how people detect, neutralize and resist misleading persuasion attempts? What does research suggest about how to teach marketplace deception protection skills to adolescents and adults?
Chapters cover theoretical perspectives on deceptive persuasion; different types of deception tactics; how deception-minded marketers think; prior research on how people cope with deceptiveness; the nature of marketplace deception protection skills; how people develop deception protection skills in adolescence and adulthood; prior research on teaching consumers marketplace deception protection skills; and societal issues such as regulatory frontiers, societal trust, and consumer education practices.
This unique book is intended for scholars and researchers. It should be essential reading for upper level and graduate courses in consumer behavior, social psychology, communication, and marketing. Marketing practitioners and marketplace regulators will find it stimulating and authoritative, as will social scientists and educators who are concerned with consumer welfare.

Reg BI supporters say it rises above suitability, critics see threat to RIAs
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Is the SEC's Regulation Best Interest a threat or an opportunity? The answer may depend on your business model.
While broker-dealers see the SEC's proposal to change standards of advisor conduct as a way to ensure survival of their business model amid regulatory tumult, some RIAs view it as a potential marginalization of theirs.
Reg BI makes a "sincere attempt to preserve the brokerage model, which we think is really important for a lot of clients," Chris Lewis, the general counsel of Edward Jones, said at FINRA's annual conference. "It's not a binary world that we live in. Many clients have both types of accounts."
The clashing viewpoints mirror a battle unfolding across federal and state regulators. With the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule dead, the SEC has now taken the lead and is expected to issue Reg BI sometime this year. State regulators, meanwhile, are putting forward their own fiduciary rules.
Executives from two of the nation's largest BDs — LPL Financial and Edward Jones — made it clear in a panel at FINRA's annual conference that they favor Reg BI over the alternatives.
Reg BI would reduce clients' confusion because they would understand it better than the current suitability standard, LPL Chief Legal and Risk Officer Michelle Oroschakoff said.
"It doesn't have to be the best solution, it doesn't have to be the cheapest solution, it just has to be appropriate for you, and that's a lower standard than best interest," Oroschakoff said. "Putting the customer's interest first and the associated disclosure obligations are a much higher standard of care to the customer than the existing suitability standard."
In an interview earlier in the week, NAPFA CEO Geoffrey Brown agreed that clients have trouble grasping suitability and said there's always been a lack of understanding around it and the fiduciary standard RIAs are held to. NAPFA's roughly 3,650 members are worried Reg BI would increase confusion, though.
They take issue with the SEC's draft of "customer relationship summary" documents designed to explain a BD, RIA or dual-registrant's obligations to a client. Most investors found it too long and wanted it in a different format, an independent survey for the SEC showed in November.
Others said they just didn't understand the documents or particular parts of them. In addition, Brown maintains the term "best interest" will cause clients to equate brokers with RIAs. However, he sees "no shortage of opportunity to draw that contrast" if the proposal turns into the final rule.
"It seems very clear that the people that were tasked with writing, reviewing, whatever you want to call it, don't see a difference between best interest and fiduciary, whereas those of us within the fiduciary camp — we know there's a difference," Brown said. "And that's probably the biggest impact of marginalization on the RIA space."
The panelists at the FINRA conference work in both the RIA and BD spaces, though, since most of their advisors are dual registrants. And they're "very supportive of the approach" taken by the SEC in the proposal, Edward Jones' Lewis said.
"Everyone is in favor — I think, at this point — of acting in a client's best interest," he continued. "The devil is in the details as to how we align our businesses to execute against it."
The SEC has received more than 6,000 comments on the Reg BI proposal from brokerages, RIAs, product manufacturers, state securities regulators and attorneys general, members of Congress, consumer groups and individual investors, according to Lourdes Gonzalez, who helped write the April 2018 proposal as the SEC's assistant chief counsel for sales practices in its trading and markets division.
Its website with the comments also displays transcripts from seven investor roundtables conducted by the SEC and more than 200 meetings with stakeholders by SEC commissioners and staff.
More requirements for disclosure and mitigation of conflicts, along with a best interest standard she allows is similar to the suitability rule, would result in a "big leap forward" by "making the requirement to act in the customer's best interest explicit in the rule," Gonzalez said.
"What the commission is trying to do with proposal Regulation Best Interest is really raise the standard of care that brokers have with respect to when they make recommendations to retail customers and, at the same time, find a way to preserve the broker advice model," she said.
Asked why the SEC didn't include a fiduciary standard in Reg BI, Gonzalez called it a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" dilemma for policymakers. But it would spark the question of whether the SEC would use the Investment Advisers Act, ERISA or trust law, she says.
"It's very easy to bandy these words around, but it's an empty word until you fill it with something," Gonzalez said, citing differing perspectives on whether or not it would make the rule stronger. "There are deeply held and conflicting views on this question."

For a novel steeped in the virtues of old-fashioned storytelling, Unexpected Lessons in Love takes some hair-raising risks with its readers. Cecilia, the decent, scrupulous heroine, is a woman in her sixties who has been diagnosed with cancer and had a colostomy. Her best friend Helen has also had a colostomy, and it is the subject of colostomies and colostomy bags, naturally, that dominates their early conversations, which are anatomical to a fault. By page 50 or so, there will not be a reader in the country not screaming, "Too much information!"
But Bernardine Bishop, a cancer sufferer herself, knows what she is doing. By rooting her characters in such a physically grim world, she makes their struggle to find emotional fulfilment all the more moving; and as other characters come into play, and a rich human mosaic takes shape, you realise that what you are reading is an unusually complex love story, probing the underpinnings of family life and the competing rights of birth parents and adoptive parents.
Where boozy fun-loving Helen vaguely hankers after a lover, Cecilia craves the subtler pleasures of being a grandmother, not least to distract her from her dullard of a husband. She thinks she has got her wish when her son, a foreign correspondent, asks her to take charge of his baby boy. But complications set in so rapidly, and in such profusion, that Cecilia's medical problems are soon put in perspective.
The novel should appeal to Joanna Trollope fans, with its soap-like plot twists, well-drawn minor characters and earnest vignettes of middle-class women dealing with moral conundrums. Should so-and-so be allowed to meet her real mother? What visiting rights should step-parents have? The result is a tad formulaic at times, and there are a tiresome number of minor feline characters; but Bishop is a fine, intelligent writer, capable of handling moral and philosophical themes with a light touch.
"Love falls where it falls, and it must be appreciated and cherished wherever it is found," reflects one of the characters, as the novel nears its heart-warming conclusion. In this occasionally awkward, but always humane novel, a wise moral is eloquently articulated.

A customer of ours, in the early 1990's, contacted Kinetic Die Casting Company, to send us their die casting tooling so we could produce an aluminum die casting enclosure housing for them. This company, Monitor Dynamics Incorporated (MDI), produced a security card reader system used in government buildings. MDI was well known for their high quality security systems. MDI demanded high quality products from their suppliers.
This aluminum die casting part had transformed many times from its inception. It started out as a steel box that was welded together. The design was simple, ¼ inch plates welded together in a box shape with a slot to slide electronic cards through and an area for a keypad. The next change was to make aluminum sand castings in a similar design. Later, the delivery and quantity requirements for the programs required MDI to purchase die casting tooling and die casting parts from a competitor of ours.
Unfortunately, our competitor did not realize the important differences between aluminum sand casting parts and aluminum die casting parts. The part design was poorly planned in the following ways:
- The draft on the interior walls was not properly created, the parts has several drag marks and stuck too easily in the tool.
- The tooling die not include a mold base, it consisted of inserts only. This kept the customer captive to the poor quality die casting company, our competitor.
- The wall thicknesses of 1/4" or more, "for higher strength". Greater wall thicknesses in die casting parts for greater strength is a misconception.
Here is how I helped MDI get good quality parts. First, I had my toolmaker fix the internal draft angle problems so the aluminum housing parts would no longer stick in the die casting tool. Secondly, I mounted the inserts into one of our many available mold bases so we could make good quality die casting production parts.
Then finally, we fought the production process to make good parts in spite of the problems and complications from the ¼" or greater wall thicknesses. There were many complications, such as, several sink marks or surface porosity from the metal wicking from thinner areas of the casting to the thicker areas. The casting would deform easily in the cooling process. The internal porosity from the thicker sections would also cause the paint and powder coating to bubble.
MDI was very pleased with the results we provided them. Their purchasing manager sent me a letter of appreciation. MDI is now known as Ameritron, Incorporated. You can read a copy of the letter of appreciation from the purchasing manager here..
"In the 12 years, Kinetic Die Casting has been an excellent supplier providing good pricing, excellent product and on time delivery. If you have a need for die casting products I would highly recommend Kinetic Die Casting"

2008 Janes Addiction Show Poster | El Cid
This the poster for the second show in the series of Jane's Addiction Los Angeles shows with the full original Jane's lineup. The show took place at El Cid right at the edge of Hollywood on November 20, 2008 and is the second in the series of prints designed by MFG. The original 1ST Edition of the poster was almost entirely given away at the show with a the few AP's available for sale through our site selling out quickly. As a result, Jane's Addiction printed a second edition of the poster; this time with a matte finish and more over-printing details. Check out the photos to the left...
We've also released some APs of the first edition here.

Michael Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato are expecting their second child
Watch Michael's cute-as-a-button son announce the news in an adorable Facebook video.
The couple - whose son Noah will turn two in August - revealed the news in a sweet video posted on Michael's Facebook page.
The clip, which features a soundtrack of Britney Spears' song 'Oops I Did It Again', shows Noah point to his mother's stomach and say "baby" after Michael asks him "who's in there?"
Noah has some news to tell you ...Posted by Michael Bublé on Monday, 6 July 2015
Along with revealing the happy news, the video will also reassure fans that Noah has recovered after being taken to hospital last week.
Noah is believed to have been injured by scalding water at their home and taken to Hospital Aleman in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by his mother, model and actress Luisana, 28.
But Canadian crooner Michael revealed on Instagram five days ago that the tot was home just in time for Canada Day.
Posting a picture of footprints in the sand belonging to himself, Luisana and Noah, Michael wrote: "We want to thank you for the love and concern you have shown for our little guy through this difficult time. I'm happy to report that he is home, happy and healthy on what turned out to be a great Canada day. #love #grateful #family"
Previous reports suggested Michael, 39, was out of the country when the couple's only child was injured in the accident but he has since been reunited with his family.

The problem with arthritis is that the pain that comes with it lasts a lifetime. It may come and go, or remain constant, but you cannot get rid of the pain. Performing daily activities like walking, dressing, or looking after the kids, become difficult. While you can't get rid of it, you can effectively manage the pain. Here's how to do it:
- Medications:
Medications aren't the only option, but they certainly help when the pain's unbearable. Doctors often prescribe patients with rheumatoid arthritis Disease Modifying Anti-rheumatic Drugs (DMARD) to alleviate pain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) help to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Alternative Medicines:
Yoga, massage, and acupuncture help to manage pain. While yoga helps to improve muscle flexibility, massage helps increase blood flow to the inflamed area. Acupuncture works by applying pressure on specific points to reduce pain. Old wives tales about rubbing hot peppers on the inflamed area may not be wrong- ointments and creams made of menthol or capsaicin (the chemical compound found in hot peppers) helps against pain.
- Active Lifestyle:
A life with arthritis doesn't necessarily mean a life confined to the bed. In fact, it is now more important than ever to stay active and lose weight. Excess weight puts pressure on the joints causing inflammation. When you are in pain, exercise is probably the last thing in your mind. But the right kind of exercises can help to increase muscle strength and keep you healthy.
- Dressing Aids:
Of course, medication helps. But there are several products that complement medications and make life easy. Buy a shoe horn to help you put on shoes without bending. A leg rest or foot rest supports the feet and makes it easy for people to wear shoes. And if you're looking to avoid bending altogether, use A-Leg-Up. Use it as a footstool when putting on shoes and socks or to clip nails; or use it as a long shoe horn!
Practical changes to your home and lifestyle can help you manage arthritis successfully and life a happy life.

New England senators want another National Lobster Day
PORTLAND, Maine >> Senators from New England states want September 25 again designated as National Lobster Day in recognition of the region's most-loved crustacean.
The early fall day was designated in honor of the lobster last year. Senators from New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut are behind legislation that would make the designation again this year.
The senators say the day recognizes the "historic and economic importance of lobster in the United States." The U.S. lobster fishery was worth more than a half-billion dollars last year.
Maine Sens. Angus King, an Independent, and Susan Collins, a Republican, introduced the legislation. Their state is by far the biggest lobster producer in the country.

The Hermitage Farms is a stunning property with lush green landscape and a backdrop of low-lying hills. It has natural water bodies and waterfalls where my pheras took place. The venue was extremely beautiful and it was exactly what I was looking for! Even the owners of the place were very co-operative and professional and were extremely flexible in their approach.

Predicting the Future
The system I need to deal with now is the engine. This is a Volvo Penta MD22l, made by Perkins in the UK. The basic engine was used in vans and small trucks and even the famous London Taxis. It is a conservatively designed overhead cam, mechanically injected, normally aspirated diesel. I now know what all those terms mean too. Basically, it should be cheap to run and last 'forever'. But nothing lasts forever, especially when it has not been maintained and lives in an environment of fire and seawater.
Having very little experience of diesels I needed help. I spoke with several marine mechanics, all of whom took one look at it and said 'aw, should be ok' and left. Not exactly confidence-inspiring. Looking back, I think they took one look at the tiny engine compartment and the way the engine was hemmed in on all sides by other equipment, like the refrigeration compressors, and ran a nautical mile. I very nearly didn't buy the boat because of the way the engine compartment restricts access to the engine. But I also saw that by removing the old refrigeration gear the access could be improved.
Fast forward a few weeks and the refrigeration system has been upgraded to 12V DC. The only remaining items of the old refrigeration system are the engine-driven compressor and a heat exchanger, both redundant. Access to the engine is now much better.
Royce, the shipwright, suggested I call his mate David Short. When David looked at the engine, in his quiet way, he set out a plan of attack "Pull off the exhaust elbow and check for corrosion. Remove the raw water pump and service it. Remove the redundant refrigeration compressor pump and rebuild the power takeoff mounting. Remove the redundant heat exchanger. Replace the timing belt. Change the oil. Fix these three diesel leaks.
"Work from the back of the engine to the front" he said "Finish one job before you start the next."
My heart sank. I was kinda hoping he would wave his magic wand and say "Everything is perfect, wow you got a good buy here, nothing to do, you don't even need to change the oil for another million hours".
Fast forward several more weeks. It is done. David Short is a mechanic with many years experience and a great deal of understanding of the ways of marine diesels. He must have x-ray vision too, because he somehow knew the weak-points of the engine. The raw water pump and the exhaust elbow were dangerously corroded and needed total replacement. The old power takeoff was only held on on one side, the bolts on the other side having fallen off. Andrew, the excellent local boilermaker, rebuilt it completely out of stainless steel. And there were many poorly fastened items I found along the way. I shudder to think what would have happened on a future trip if I had not followed David's advice.
And the bonus is that I now I have some familiarity with the mechanical monster in the bilges. I am not a mechanic, so doing this work myself was slow, difficult and put a strain on my aging arms and shoulders. I hope I never need to repair an engine at sea, like Gerry Clarke had to do again and again in Totorore. In fact, if the engine broke down at sea I would be unlikely to even try. Instead, I would try to sail to the nearest port. But I have established something of a baseline. I know the basic engine systems are in good repair and I know the service intervals required to keep them good. So I hope I can make one prediction about the future: the engine is less likely to break down.
2 Comments
Even my engineering skills are quite inadequate to follow the difficulty you faced, I must admit I admire your persistence in attacking all the jobs put in front of you. I like the word "Baseline" something we all should establish whatever our direction in life.
Dave, writing about ones woes is always a wonderfully cathartic experience, and along with your new found baseline, will I'm sure hold you and the engine together into the distant future. Oh and well done.

The root cause is incompatible objectives/metrics and lack of understanding about the other function and how it works. From this root cause other factors such as "poor" processes, internal politics and other disruptive actions grow and it feels a bit like Japanese knot weed. Fast growing and very difficult to permanently kill off. In my experience these type of problem are often not limited to the relationship between Sales & Marketing. Hands up who has a good relationship with Finance, Facilities, Customer Service, Manufacturing or HR?
How to improve the relationship between Sales and Marketing
The way forward starts with a simple customer focused business plan and set of objectives for the whole business. Rolling this through out the business with supporting plans and metrics will certainly be a major help. I've also used the buddy system to get two functions with a dysfunctional relationship to work together to produce their functional plans. This can be amazingly effective.
All of the above works but it takes time. Here are a few quick things that I've successfully used to get Sales to have a better relationship with Marketing and other functions.
1. Invite other functions to attend Sales and product training events.
2. Get representatives from Sales to attend and speak about the business at the staff meetings of other functions.
3. Create a balanced and simple service level agreement between Sales and Marketing.
4. Regularly communicate throughout the business the performance against the objectives and key metrics.
5. Ask other functions what can be done to improve the relationship with customers and act on appropriate findings.
6. Listen to customers and share the information between Sales and Marketing so that they can work together on appropriate actions.

Inner-City Teaching
Epiphany in Baltimore reports (quite casually) that his classroom has had a bucket-filling leak since Thanksgiving, and that a ceiling tile recently fell on one of his students during class. Now he's discovered that there are mushrooms growing under his book case. Lovely. How is it that we are letting kids go to school in conditions like these?

Should you travel for much for business, you are accustomed to remaining in top quality hotels. You realize what to pack for the short stay, finding your hotel is really a art work, and you are accustomed to a particular standard of accommodation. Remaining in hotels constantly could possibly get lonely however. You are inside a different room constantly, you consume breakfast alone and also the facilities vary a great deal between different hotels.
It would be great to remain somewhere more homely when you are on company business?
Short stay serviced apartments are increasing in recognition with business vacationers. Much like hotels, these apartments are maintained for you personally which means you obtain the same quality for cleaning and facilities. Actually, the facilities are frequently better still than individuals in hotels. Short stay serviced apartments could be stocked ready for the arrival with foods you want, newspapers or other things you request.
Rooms in hotels might be great for one-night stays, but when you are remaining for any couple of days a serviced apartment can seem to be a lot more like home. There's more room to reside, having a separate family room and bed room. This sort of suite could be costly inside a hotel, but short stay serviced apartments offer better rates for extended stays. There are also apartments with 2 or 3 bedrooms so your family can remain along with you. Unlike expensive hotels suite, a serviced apartment could be a home abroad.
You are liberated to appear and disappear while you please, for instance eating whenever you like rather of once the hotel has its own meal occasions. This versatility is a superb asset for those who have busy schedules.
It's not only business vacationers who're searching at short stay serviced apartments to save cash and obtain better facilities. Holiday-makers frequently discover that they provide better room rates for weekend or midweek stays than hotels of the similar quality. They are frequently in city-center locations much like hotels, which means you don't will lose out on location despite the fact that you are having to pay less for the accommodation.

Memorable PowerPoint Presentations provide direction and information. But, the bad ones leave you wishing you would had a root canal instead. It is of no doubt that PowerPoint presentations that flood the audience with limitless animations, audacious bullet lists and sparkling graphics may look magnificent but they often drown out the content.
Just because a presenter can use each and every PowerPoint feature does not mean you should do that. Most of the people have a fear of delivering presentations and with good reasons. It is actually a skill that necessitates practice and knowledge. Unfortunately, over the period of time there are some myths that have been developed about PowerPoint. Let's take a look at some of these PowerPoint Myths.
It is completely false. To draw people's attention, you don't need to floor it like a NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) driver. Presentation with a beginning, middle and an end allow set boundaries for the listeners. Always remember that an effective storyteller wins at making presentations. So, make sure your attendees are aware of what you are proposing or recommending and why.
This is untrue. PowerPoint presentations are not strategies. They can be a part of a tool or strategic plan which is used to communicate a set of strategies. Thus, in no way can one consider it as a strategy, since it is not designed for that purpose.
It is completely false. Excellent presentations have a story to commune. The story you discuss requires to be fleshing out for your listeners and not reduced to bullet points. The graphics you pick should have the meaning for your audience to understand and also connect to the story you are telling only then it will touch the hearts of people.
It's not true. There is always more to a successful presentation than dumping data onto a slide. Understanding your audience enables you to tailor the presentation and when you do they will absorb more of the information and respond better. Do pay attention to what the audience has in common, are they novices or experts? And are you aware of how they feel about the topic.
Now when you know the presentation myths that can hurt you, it is best to avoid these traps and you will ultimately come across as a much better presenter.

If you've ever listened to the radio in Central or North Louisiana, then chances are you've listened to a station run by Lagniappe Broadcasting. Lagniappe is headquartered in Pineville with an office in Monroe, and their radio network features stations like LA 103.5, Sunny 106.9 and 103.1 NOW.
Lagniappe is much more than just a radio broadcasting and advertising company. They are very active and invested in their communities. We spoke with Sales Manager Danielle Nolen to find out more about their company, what they do and how they impact the Louisiana communities they serve.
How did your company or organization get its start?
Our current CEO Jim Shea, who owns Mapleton Communications with over 45 radio stations across the West Coast, decided to buy our current radio stations in Alexandria and Monroe in 2002. He bought the Louisiana radio stations separately from Mapleton Communications and called the Louisiana radio stations Opus Broadcasting. After 11 years, Jim decided to pull his Louisiana radio stations into the umbrella of Mapleton Communications and allowed the Louisiana radio stations to do business as Lagniappe Broadcasting of Louisiana.
What's the one thing your company or organization is known for over your competitors?
Lagniappe is known for lagniappe—something a little extra. Our company strives to always go above and beyond for each of our customers. We offer lagniappe to our customers to enhance their radio experience. The lagniappe can be anything from a promotion we've created specifically for a client, contests, added value radio schedules, website and Facebook exposure and much more.
What was the biggest "win" in the history of your company or organization?
To date, one of the biggest wins for Lagniappe Broadcasting is bringing Santa Stop to Central and North Louisiana. The Santa Stop happens annually in November. Santa flies in on a helicopter and the kids and their parents can watch him land. He even takes free pictures with the kids! Each year the event has grown by leaps and bounds.
How is your company or organization active in the community?
Lagniappe is active in many ways with our local community. The following are a few examples:
We are one of the main media sponsors for Susan G Komen Race for a Cure. We also hold a promotion every October for our listeners to hunt for a pink camouflage bra. We sell T-shirts for the promotion as well and all proceeds go to Susan G Komen.
Santa Stop is designed to offer children of all ages a chance to see Santa land in a helicopter and get his/her picture taken with Santa for free. We also have local businesses attend and setup booths. These booths offer free items, information and refreshments.
We partner with the American Cancer Society and run free radio ads across our four radio stations to help build the awareness of their event.
- Coat Drive
Each year we drop boxes at local business and broadcast over our four radio stations for people with outgrown, unwanted or never used coats to donate them at participating locations. At the end of the promotion we collect all of the coats, have them cleaned and deliver them to local churches who disperse them to people who are need of a winter coat.
What advice or quote has had the most impact on Lagniappe Broadcasting?
Something a little extra! This statement is a constant reminder to go above and beyond for each of our clients to create a partnership rather than just a business transaction.
Are there any interesting or fun facts you'd like to share about Lagniappe Broadcasting?
Lagniappe Broadcasting keeps it classy, and sometimes we keep it in the gutter. We do team building exercises that not only boost morale but help us learn more about each other and grow to become a family. We do crawfish boils, bowling competitions, an annual Thanksgiving lunch, birthday celebrations and Christmas dinner together at the radio station.
Are there any current or upcoming sales, promotions or events you'd like our fans and members to know about?
We will be starting a promotion called "The Ultimate Backyard Makeover" in April. The promotion will last for 6 weeks. We urge listeners to go to our Sunny 106.9 website and send us a picture and reason as to why they should win The Ultimate Backyard Makeover. The prize pack is currently valued over $8,000.
What's the most rewarding part about working for your company or organization?
The most rewarding part about working at Lagniappe Broadcasting is the relationships you get to build with your clients.
How many people are in your workforce, and who are the people behind the organization's success?
In the Alexandria market, we have 11 employees. In the Monroe Market, we have over 15 employees. Our Market Managers, Sales Managers and Operations Manager are the people behind the organization's success. They are the leaders and teachers of the staff and push for excellence.
What makes your workplace unique?
The workplace at Lagniappe is unique because we are not just co-workers. We work as a phenomenal team and are family.
How can people join your team?
Lagniappe Broadcasting of Louisiana is always accepting applications for Sales, DJ's and Part-Time Board Operators. We ask for resumes to be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com with attention to Danielle Nolen.

The City of Duncanville is commemorating the 50th anniversary of Memorial Park on Monday, May 27 at 10:00 am. Army Retired Colonel Ronald Munden is the honored guest speaker, who 50 years ago as an Army Cadet, participated in the ceremony and helped unveil the memorial. The first 300 guests will receive a commemorative War Memorial challenge coin marking the event. Memorial Park is located at 101 N. Main Street in Duncanville.
Memorial Day did not become a federal holiday until 1971. Before that it was traditionally recognized on May 30 regardless of the day of the week. Thus, 50 years ago Memorial Day in Duncanville was recognized on Friday, May 30, 1969 with the dedication of the War Memorial and Memorial Park.
Early in 1969, Ed Purcell from the American Legion Post 81, along with noted artist and architect William B. Lowder, developed plans for a memorial marker and eternal flame layout, as well as heading up the fundraising efforts. Starlight Park, which was redesigned, freshly landscaped, and renamed Memorial Park, was the focal point of the dedication ceremonies that morning. Families of the fallen soldiers engraved on the memorial were present and the memorial was unveiled by Midshipman Charles B. Young and Cadet Ronald Munden.
The Duncanville War Memorial is a polished granite monument approximately sixteen feet high featuring a brass bald eagle with a two-foot wing span atop. Twenty-two names were originally inscribed on the monument representing Duncanville's fallen soldiers from four wars. The eternal flame was also lit on Memorial Day in 1969 and continues to burn bright today.
Please join us in remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
