For help on your journey to healthy weight loss, look no further than genuine African mango. Integra-Lean® African Mango Irvingia extract is the exact ingredient used in the study that made Irvingia gabonensis so famous. Discover what thousands of people already know:
Irvingia gabonensis extract has been shown to help support leptin sensitivity in overweight people. Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells (called adipocytes) that tells our brain we have eaten enough.1 It also helps break down of stored triglycerides in fat cells via lipolysis.
Heavy individuals have high blood levels of leptin. This indicates that their cells have become resistant to the hormone that is supposed to inhibit them from putting on so many fat pounds. Irvingia has demonstrated beneficial effects upon leptin blood levels, followed by both weight loss and reduced waistlines.2,3 Irvingia also benefits key aspects of healthy metabolism:
Use this fat-fighting extract to inhibit the enzymes that turn glucose and triglycerides into stored fat and promote healthy metabolic processes. Try Integra-Lean® Aftrican Mango Irvingia today!

Red carpet looks: Lexus GS 450h
The all-new Lexus 2013 GS 450h continues to be a leader in the hybrid-powered luxury sport sedan category it created six years ago. Combining bold, dynamic styling, 338 total system horsepower and a spacious interior, the GS 450h offers the best of all worlds with its performance, connectivity and comfort features.
Impressively, the Lexus Hybrid Drive system also features fuel consumption that is improved by more than 35 percent over the previous generation with EPA-estimated ratings of 29 mpg city, 34 mpg highway and 31 mpg combined.
Exterior design
Sleek and athletic, the GS 450h is a head turner with its signature grille, deep-set headlamps, shark-fin antenna for integrated Sirius XM Satellite Radio (subscription required) and L-shaped LED tail lamps.
It has a clean, flowing look that features Lexus' signature blue hybrid badging and attractive 17-inch alloy wheels with nine-spoke design.
Finely crafted cabin
For more distinguishing design, step inside this luxury sports hybrid. For me, the most striking and luxurious characteristic was the bamboo steering rim and bamboo interior accents. I simply enjoyed looking at this dash. In addition to the elegant bamboo, the GS 450h features a clean, high-tech appearance with some old-school charm like its center analog clock with LED indicators. The clock was carved from a single ingot of aluminum for a smooth, consistent look—a nice touch.
Other interior amenities include LED ambient lighting, an 8-inch high-resolution multi-information touch screen and leather-trimmed seating, which is available in Black, flaxen or light gray. Also included is aluminum alloy "Lexus" stamped scuff plates on all door sills.
Standard entertainment and connectivity features include MP3 sound enhancement, 5.1 simulations surround-sound from normal two channel sources such as MP3 files and CD, as well as HD radio with a three-month trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
Luxury options
For discriminating consumers, there are additional options like the Luxury Package, which includes items such as a unique high gloss espresso wood ornamentation, semi-aniline leather, 18-way power front seats with memory, rear HVAC and audio controls and 18-inch alloy wheels.
By adding the optional navigation system, GS owners can enjoy an industry-first 12.3-inch, split-screen, high-resolution multi-media display large enough to support simultaneous, split-screen viewing of a map display, plus audio, climate or other vehicle information.
The available 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium surround sound audio system has 7.1 channel surround-sound through 10 channels using a new Class D digital amplifier with a clean 835-watts from 20-20,000 hz at only 0.01 percent total harmonic distortion.
Combining high-end looks and performance with cutting edge hybrid technology, the Lexus GS 450h has impressive credentials. To learn more about this high achiever, visit www.lexus.com.

About SteelWolf
They're clearly just a bunch of tools.
Do you have contact info outside of the TechDirt comments? I'd love to talk to you about these things (my contact info is on my site).
I know I would prefer to use the TechDirt comment system as opposed to the ads. I use AdBlock instead of a hosts file so turning off ads on a specific page isn't that difficult for me. I'm just used to the TechDirt system and it makes more sense from my perspective to keep things consistent.
Thanks for that link, I've been looking for something exactly like that for a while now.
Also, artists do not have a "right" to compensation, only an opportunity. One that AC/DC is not taking full advantage of by refusing to offer what it is they're selling in a form their potential customers like.
Dude, all you have to do to debunk a negative claim is show positive evidence. If Mike is so wrong, it should be easy to find some evidence demonstrating the contrary.
I think the "first rights" idea comes into play as you get an established based going. If you've built up a fanbase, there's definitely merit in getting something first.
For example, if anybody can print the book after it's out, there's an advantage in being the first one out of the gate. You get the first mover advantage so that your books are the ones on the shelves, your cover art is recognized, and the others (while equally free to be made) look more like knockoffs. I think that might be a direction things are going, with publishers and labels competing for who gets first dibs on a new work as opposed to forcing the creator to give up all monopoly rights.
First also plays into the Kickstarter model, where donors or top-level contributors might get an early peak or advance copy of the book.
That if you're making art with the right mindset, you will start looking to provide reasons for potential customers to support you financially rather than demanding that you get a paycheck.
Sometimes that's as simple as putting out a quality product at a reasonable price. Other times it involves fun promotions (See: TF2 hats) or more risky experiments (See: Humble Indie Bundle). Regardless, somebody making art instead of "product" who would like to make money from it is in the same place with or without the so-called protections provided by copyright, and is better off ignoring them and simply focusing on creating great stuff people would be willing to buy.
Wouldn't that make it indie, and therefore hipster? ;)
I'm always puzzled when I see people saying this. I have a lot of respect for your opinions and posts here and you seem to have an excellent grasp of how things work and where they're going.
What precise benefit do you see of copyright that we cannot get without it? The things I see advocated here work just fine without government-granted monopolies, so why need them at all?
[Citation needed]
You don't get to choose the environment your business model is in. A business model that needs the government to step in and make it work is flawed. How about a model that works right now instead?
I think there's room in the MMO space for a model like this. It's potentially a way to take on WoW while still charging a monthly fee - give the client away so everybody tries it, then charge to continue playing or for extra features.
I guess some of the MMOs have switched to a model like this (LotRO, DnDO) and are doing pretty well.
So if I search Google for ext:torrent, that's different?
Also, businesses don't get to simply "declare" a business model, and then have it work. If you business model is, "we've got to stop all this piracy first, and then our business model will work fine," you need a new model. Let's work to build and adopt business models that work now, with things the way they are.
I was able to download it from the Bit.ly link in the post as well (http://bit.ly/hpU84h).
Indeed, it's a real trade-off. Either the class is too big or professors don't want to take the time to hand-grade written tests, so they go with multiple choice/Scantron formats. The best way to prepare for those kinds of tests is by going over old questions, which is what smart students are going to do.
This always bothers me. The point of school is to learn the material, not follow arbitrary rules set up by the professor. If doing something helps you learn the material better, it should be allowed - regardless of what the professor thinks.
Sorry for the misspelling, but yes, that's where it comes from. :P

Multi-access keys, such as those built using Lucid, have in their database character information about the taxa that are to be identified. When the user of a multi-access or matrix key chooses a character state of a selected character in the key, the taxa that have that character state are retained; taxa that have a different character state for the selected character are discarded. When another character is chosen, the same process is repeated with the remaining taxa. Since computers easily handle repetitive tasks at high speed, they are ideal for multi-access keys, which depend on a complete check of all the taxa in the key's database each time a question is answered.
Since multi-access keys allow you to start with any character you choose and to proceed in any order you choose, these keys do not suffer from the unanswerable couplet problem encountered in dichotomous keys. Further, in using a multi-access key you can avoid characters that are difficult for you to distinguish or are not appropriate for your specimen, another advantage of multi-access keys over dichotomous keys.
Ultimately, when using a multi-access key, all taxa except the one that matches your specimen may be eliminated. However, if you cannot eliminate all the taxa, you will be left with a small group of taxa that can then be compared more closely.

For a company with such storied franchises, Nintendo sure does a terrible job in commemorating them. Mario got a red Wii and a repackaged game for his 25th birthday, and Zelda got...bupkis.
That may be changing come E3, as Nintendo's Masahiro Sakurai went to the trouble today of posting his E3 access pass on Twitter. And went to the trouble of making sure we could see clearly his lanyards.
One is for Skyward Sword, which is to be expected. It'll be a big part of Nintendo's show. The other, though, is celebrating Zelda's 25th anniversary, hinting something might be shown off next week.
It may be a game, it may be a party, it may just be for shits and giggles, who knows! But the series deserves something special, so let's hope it gets it, even if the party is a little late.

|Section Manager
|| Print |
How to Access
Click on the Section Manager icon in the Control Panel or click on 'Section Manager' in the 'Content' menu in the back-end of your Joomla! installation.
Articles in Joomla! are organized into Sections and Categories. Sections are the top-level of organization and Categories go under Sections. The Section Manager is the place where you can edit existing Sections and create new ones. For example, a web site might have the following organization:
In this example, 'People', 'Projects', and 'Events' would be the Sections. The sub-topics under each Section (for example, 'Volunteers', 'Staff', and 'Board Members') would be the Categories for each Section. When an Article is added, it would be assigned a Section (for example 'People') and a Category (for example, 'Board Members').
You can have an many or as few Sections and Categories as you need. Joomla! has a built-in Section and Category called 'Uncategorized'. This allows you to create Articles without creating or assigning any Section or Category. You just assign the Article to the 'Uncategorized' Section.
Sections are used for two reasons. The first reason is for organizing Articles on your web pages. The Section Blog Layout and Section Layout allow you to display multiple Articles on a page for a given Section. So, in the example above, you could have a page for 'People' that shows Articles related to this Section. A second reason to use Sections is to help manage your Articles in the back-end Article Manager. If you have a large number of Articles, you can filter by Section so you only see the Articles from one Section.
Column Headers
Click on the column heading to sort the list by that column's value.
At the top right you will see the toolbar:
The functions are:
List Filters
Filter by Partial TitleYou can filter the list of items either by entering in part of the title or the ID number. You can also select a Published State.
Filter by Published StateIn the area in the upper right, above the column headings, there is a drop-down list box that allows you to filter the Sections by Published state.

Babyboop is the first design Ron has made for us in steel. It's a set of three small containers for nibbles, shaped to reflect the large blow-molded aluminium furniture/sculptures he made in a limited run in the late nineties.
Ron was born in Tel Aviv in 1951, he studied at the Jerusalem Academy of Art and at the Architectural Association of London where Bernard Tschumi was his teacher and Nigel Coates and Zaha Hadid his colleagues. He lives and works in London where he teaches at The Royal College of Art. Putting architecture to one side for a while, although he has in fact recently returned to that discipline, Ron turned his attention to design and began working with several Italian companies. He has created some world-famed pieces and is a true virtuoso as can been seen in works like his performance: Ron is always searching for new unconventional solutions for common objects and experimenting with new technologies and materials in innovative forms.

Executive summary – College of Business and Management
**The below information is from the 2006-2016 UIS Strategic Plan. For information on the current 2018-2028 Strategic Compass, visit https://www.uis.edu/strategiccompass/ **
This strategic plan is the culmination of multiple conversations with various stakeholders of the College of Business and Management (CBM) at UIS. Regional and international business owners; accomplished alumni employed in government, nonprofit, and business sectors; current students; faculty and staff from Springfield and Peoria; and Deans from benchmark Colleges of Business and international professionals–all had a part in the dialogue that shaped this document.
Despite the diversity of participants and the views they expressed, a common sentiment emerged—a sense of optimism and excitement for the future facing the CBM as the college is poised to be accredited by AACSB. Faculty are adapting teaching and learning best practices to accommodate new UIS freshman; expansions in online offerings could put the CBM within reach of becoming one of the top ten AACSB accredited providers of online business programs, the Center for Entrepreneurship will influence economic and business development in the region, and more! The college will continue to build on its heritage of excellence, including a tradition of providing a first-rate education for adult learners; an exceptional CPA pass rate among accounting graduates, outstanding placements for MIS graduates, and high levels of employer satisfaction with CBM intern/AST students and graduates.
The College of Business and Management offers instruction provided predominantly by full-time faculty, with programs based on market needs, preparing traditional and nontraditional students for careers and/or advancement in corporate, government, and nonprofit organizations regionally and increasingly nationally and internationally.
The College of Business and Management will be the preferred choice within the region and increasingly beyond for a high quality and relevant business education for undergraduates, graduates and individuals wishing to continue their professional education. Online offerings will similarly serve those who cannot attend on-campus classes. Graduates of CBM degree programs will be highly sought after by regional employers. Prospective faculty will view CBM as an attractive employer that will contribute to their careers and sustain their development as teacher/scholars. The CBM will establish a reputation for expertise in selected areas of scholarship and community and well beyond outreach.
Competitive Analysis/Distinctive Competencies
The College of Business and Management has characteristics of high quality business colleges – AACSB qualified teacher/scholars who are academically and professionally qualified in their fields; quality graduate and undergraduate programs; small class sizes; most courses taught by full-time faculty; and exceptional infrastructure that includes a state of the art classroom and office building and technology support for classroom and online delivery of courses. Experiential learning offers a strong practical component to the business education students receive and creates constructive relationships with regional employers. As a public institution, CBM tuition compares favorably with regional institutions. Upon receiving AACSB accreditation the CBM will have a definite advantage as a high quality, low cost AACSB accredited provider of online Business education. Compared to the top ten providers of online business undergraduate degrees nationwide, e-tuition places the CBM as the low cost provider of online undergraduate education.
Goal #1 – Teaching as a Distinctive Competence
The UIS College of Business and Management will be known for the quality of its teaching and for its accountability to that mission. Recognizing its importance to effective learning, teaching will be the first priority of our attention and resources, and our most important measure of faculty competence. Teaching and learning are dependent on faculty and staff who are engaged in their disciplines through scholarship and applications in the real world. Faculty and staff embrace the fact the world of learning is dynamic in content, applications and practices.
Goal #2- Foster a culture of excellence in faculty engagement professionally, teaching and learning, scholarship, relevance, outreach to stakeholders and service
Foster a work environment and ethos that support an achievement oriented faculty and staff that is engaged in professional growth and works to demonstrate excellence in teaching and learning outcomes, scholarship, relevance, outreach to stakeholders and service. Provide the environment and help for faculty, staff and administrators to obtain the necessary resources to meet this goal. The goal is to be a model of how business should operate in the public and private sectors in terms of work environment. This goal is a group and individual goal of each individual in the College.
Goal #3 – A Commitment to the Recruitment and Retention of Students
The College of Business and Management prides itself in going beyond the norm to make it possible for more Illinois residents and those in other states or nations to obtain a quality and relevant education, regardless of their location or scheduling constraints.
Goal #4 – Strengthen Ties with External Communities
The College of Business and Management will strengthen its relationships with external constituents, including area businesses, governmental organizations, not-for-profits, peer and feeder institutions, and UIS alumni in the region and beyond, including internationally. This goal includes strengthening the outreach to the greater Springfield and Peoria metropolitan areas for MBA and other degree and certificate programs, customized to meet business, government agency and health service employers and going well beyond these locations to Asia and Europe.
Goal #5 – Achieve and Maintain AACSB Accreditation
The College of Business and Management is committed to the successful completion of its quest to be accredited by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business, which will immeasurably increase its stature among its peers, as well as the value of their education to its graduates. It is in the final stages of accreditation with the peer review team visit in February 2007.
Resource Needs
The CBM Strategic plan highlights required resources related to human resources, finances, student support and technology. Human capital is a competitive advantage for the CBM. To maintain that advantage the college must continue to attract, motivate, develop, and invest in faculty, professionals and staff. Only through excellent human resources will the CBM be able to maintain, advance and expand academic programs, provide outreach to the business, government and non profit sectors, and pursue new initiatives such as the Center for Entrepreneurship, a Nanotechnology Policy Center, or expanded online offerings.
Support for student scholarships will enable the CBM to compete for and attract the highest quality undergraduate and graduate students. As the CBM enters new markets, scholarships can provide an incentive for students to take special note of the College of Business and Management at UIS. CBM resource needs go beyond faculty to staff professionals who provide the infrastructure to support stretch goals.
Advances in communication and education technologies make it imperative that the CBM regularly update technology including faculty computers, laptops, etc. Furthermore, faculty and staff must be provided with opportunities to retool and maintain their own currency with the use of information technologies—especially those used by student populations.
This plan envisions a future of an AACSB accredited College of Business and Management which is in sync with a dynamic, global business environment. It is a challenging future with ambitious goals related to teaching, scholarship, service, relevance and commitment to academically adapt to the continually emerging technologies and changes in business. Our plan has implications for students; faculty and staff; members of the business, government, and not for profit sectors; and the communities we serve. In the course of implementing our ambitious plan, students will benefit from high quality programs and effective use of resources and technology. Faculty and staff will benefit from the increasing quality of academic programs, students and increasing resources available for professional development. Our external stakeholders and expanding communities will increasingly view the CBM as having broader economic, social and educational impact in the region and well beyond. In summary, the College of Business and Management will become widely known for "Preparing Business Professionals to Advance and Make a Difference in a Global Economy." Historically this focus was for the region, which remains critical to CBM, and now extends well beyond. We truly believe that the region and Illinois are flat and CBM extends this operating principle to a world that is increasingly flat without borders in economic and business terms.

Cyril Slocombe
Cyril took over the running of the Bristol Thursday "Old Time Cyclists" at a time when there were between 15 & 20 participants. Under his excellent stewardship the numbers have risen to an average of 50-plus.
2005 has not been a particularly good one health wise for Cyril but he has continued unfailingly to produce the rides programme. He has seldom missed a ride and if he has felt unable to lead he has found a volunteer to take his place.
He is instrumental in increasing the public awareness of cycling among a group of people who have never before considered the use of a cycle as a means of pleasure and transport.

Rules to Fight Zebra Mussels Take Effect in Additional Counties Sunday
AUSTIN – In the state's continuing effort to combat the spread of invasive zebra mussels, 30 counties in North and Central Texas will be added effective Sunday, March 23, to the recently-implemented rules requiring that all boats operating on public water be drained after use.
Under the regulations, persons leaving or approaching public water in the affected counties are required to drain all water from their vessels and on-board receptacles. This applies to all types and sizes of boats whether powered or not, personal watercraft, sailboats, or any other vessel used to travel on public waters.
Additional counties being added to the vessel draining requirements are: Archer, Bastrop, Bell, Bosque, Burnet, Clay, Comal, Comanche, Coryell, Eastland, Ellis, Erath, Falls, Fayette, Freestone, Hamilton, Hays, Henderson (west of SH 19), Hill, Johnson, Leon, Limestone, Llano, McLennan, Navarro, Robertson, Somervell, Travis, Wichita, and Williamson.
The rules are currently in effect on all public waters in Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Fannin, Grayson, Hood, Jack, Kaufman, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, Rockwall, Stephens, Tarrant, Wise, and Young counties.
Applicable at all sites where boats can be launched, the regulation requires the draining of live wells, bilges, motors, and any other receptacles or water-intake systems coming into contact with public waters.
Live fish cannot be transported in water that comes from the water body where they were caught and personally caught live bait can be used only in the water body where it was caught.
The rules were modified based on public comment to allow anglers participating in a fishing tournament confined to one water body to transport live fish in water from that single water body to an identified weigh-in location, provided all water is drained and properly disposed of before leaving that location. Anglers would be required to possess documentation provided by tournament organizers that would identify them as participants in a tournament.
Movement from one access point to another on the same lake during the same day does not require draining and there is an exception for governmental activities and emergencies. Marine sanitary systems are not covered by these regulations.
Anglers are allowed to transport and use commercially purchased live bait in water provided they have a receipt that identifies the source of the bait. Any live bait purchased from a location on or adjacent to a public water body that is transported in water from that water body could only be used as bait on that same water body.
Zebra mussels became established in Texas in Lake Texoma in 2009. In 2012, they were found in Lake Ray Roberts and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. Last year, zebra mussels spread to Lakes Bridgeport, Lavon, Lewisville, and Belton. They can expand their range even farther by hitching a ride on trailered boats that have been immersed or moored in waters where they have established populations.
The rapidly reproducing mussels, originally from Eurasia, can have serious economic and recreational impact to Texas reservoirs. They can clog public-water intake pipes, harm boats and motors left in infested waters by covering boat hulls, clog water-cooling systems, annoy boat-dock owners by completely covering anything left under water, and make water recreation hazardous because of their sharp edges.
From an environmental perspective, zebra mussels are filter feeders, which means they compete with baitfish such as shad for available forage. Any impact on baitfish in turn can affect their predators — game fish such as bass, striped bass and catfish. Zebra mussels also threaten native mussel populations because they will colonize on their shells and essentially suffocate them.

Look what i did!
Yikes, there's a lot of heavy hitters out this week. From old to new. Indie to mainstream. Black and white to two-tone, to hyper-color. There's something for everyone this month. Stop hating and get with the program!
Ritual Three: Vile Decay- It can seem blasé (read: lazy) to say that someone is an "exciting" artist. What does that really mean? Are they doing something new or different? Does the art itself illicit an excited energy? Are you so excited when you see something new by that artist that you want to vomit? If you're talking about anything by Malachi Ward, the answer is yes to all of the above. Known for working on the Brandon Graham mega-project, Prophet, and for the notoriety gained from The Scout put out by Study Group Comics (which is seriously one of the best independent publishers in the business. you can read their stuff online for free. do it. you'd be an f'in fool not to). This new stand-alone sci-fi weaves together a grandmother's recollection to her grandson about how the world simply went bad. Ward's settings and characters are gracefully drawn, with an element of Charles Burn's other (but still similar) worldly eeriness. I'm getting a little comics hyphy just thinking of it being in my hands this time next week. And if you're in the NYC area, he'll be attending a release party at Bergen Street Comics on June 25th, so you can gush in person!
Judgment Day– Joe Orlando is often lauded as the nicest man in comics. He's been passed for a while, so I can neither confirm nor deny this praise. But what I can tell you is that his technical skill, editing abilities, breadth of work throughout the industry's formative years, and the subsequent influence that he left on everyone that ever picked up one of his comics, is true to the core. Anything of his you can find is worth a look, but Fantagraphics has included his EC work, some of the first professional comics stories he did. Most of the stories in this collection are scripted by Al Feldstein, and they highlight Orlando's most prolific sci-fi stories; including the titular story that spoke out against the racism of the early '50s in which these stories were published. Orlando is true comic book history, and his work is legendary.
Amazing World of Gumball #1- Truth time, I've never watched Gumball. It's been on Cartoon Network for about 5 years, and I've had no TV for about 6, so there's that. But it's new form just had comic book life breathed into it by Frank Gibson (who I've written about previously for his work on Baby Fiona and Cake, and Tiny Kitten Teeth), and one of my all time favorite web cartoonists, Tyson Hesse. He does this little thing called Boxer Hockey, and when I started reading it about two years ago I never thought I would get so emotional about a stupid little comic about a group of friends who play a field hockey type game in their underwear, essentially using frogs as pucks. But I did get emotional, and I still read certain panels that make me misty eyed. Whether it's Nickelodeon studio work, or little cartoons of his poodle on twitter, no one has made cute cartoons that have had as much of an influence on me than Hesse has. Sometimes you follow an artist to whatever project they work on, whatever the story is, and Hesse is one of those artists.
Pirates in the Heartland Vol 1: Clay Wilson– If Joe Orlando and his contemporaries set precedence's for the future of superhero and action comics, S. Clay Wilson is without a doubt a parallel of that mark in the alternative comics world. R. Crumb, who is cited as every other alt cartoonists main influence, lists Wilson himself as his great comix influence and contemporary. Hailing from the middle of nowhere, sometimes called Nebraska, Wilson ended up in San Francisco after an army stint, and quickly unleashed the underground art scene with his wild dreams and nightmares of gore, sex, body parts and general bedlam. This first of three hardcover volumes attempts to catalog his comics that appeared in publications like Zap, Pork, Insect Fear, and Arcade Magazine. Part biography, part retrospective, part collected chronicles of a comic legend, this is a huge undertaking that pays off in every way you could expect, and a million ways you couldn't. Stay tuned.
New Avengers Annual #1– There's a lot of simple reasons to pick this book up. Frank Barbiere is writing it. Marco Rudy is doing the art. And it's all about DR. STRANGE! Everyone's favorite world-saving, evil magic slaying, sorcerer is staring in his own book. He's heading back to his Himalayan roots to help some techno-monks (the name of my new hip-hop crew) defeat an evil they summoned that's beyond their control. It's oversized Dr. Strange, I think that's all you really need to know…

Focus Financial said Monday that one of its partner firms had recruited a team from Morgan Stanley with about $250 million in client assets.
Christopher Englebert and Daniel Reitz joined Milford, Conn.-based Beirne Wealth Consulting but will work out of an office in Allentown, Pa. Beirne now has about $2 billion in client assets, double the amount it had before it worked with a Focus-led program that helps wirehouse teams make successful transitions into independent firms.
"We are proud to have Chris, Dan and their team join the firm," said John Beirne, founding partner of Beirne. "Through the ongoing support and counsel of Focus, we have been able to expand our presence on the Eastern seaboard and look forward to continue adding national talent in the years ahead."
Last week, Focus Financial Partners said its partner firm Atlas Private Wealth Management of Williamstown, Mass., added two advisors in Albany, N.Y., who formerly worked for their own business, Albany Financial Partners. By adding the two reps, Michael Hickey, CFP, and Donald Carman, CPA, Atlas now has about $1 billion in client assets under management.
"Mike and Don share our deep commitment to clients," said Atlas President & CEO Greg Britton, in a statement. "Their experience will allow us to expand our offering and serve more individuals, families and small businesses across the country. We remain committed to growing our business and look forward to attracting great clients and advisors to Atlas."
Focus Financial Partners, a partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms, has roughly $70 billion in total client assets and 27 partners.
"The symbiotic relationship between Mike, Don and Atlas highlights the power of the strategic partnerships that Focus facilitates," said Rajini Kodialam, a managing director of Focus, in a statement. "
This Focus news comes on the heels of last week's announcement that Raymond James (RJF) recently recruited a team of four advisors from Morgan Stanley (MS) to its independent advisor channel, while independent wealth management firms also attracted wirehouse advisors, as well as independent reps.
S. Benjamin Weiner, CFP; Michael Hlavek, CFP; Duke Marsh; and Daniel Iosue moved to Raymond James. The team operates as the Winter Park Wealth Group, an independent firm, in Winter Park, Fla.
"We are delighted to welcome yet another accomplished team of advisors to Raymond James," said Jodi Perry, Southeast regional manager of Raymond James Financial Services (RJFS), the firm's independent broker-dealer, in a press release.
"Ben and his partners have demonstrated a history of providing excellent client service, consistent with the culture and values at Raymond James," Perry noted. "Their decision to affiliate with us reflects their appreciation for our firm's client-first focus, financial strength and extensive support and resources."
At Morgan Stanley, the team managed more than $550 million in client assets and had annual fees and commissions of more than $2.3 million.
"I grew up in this business alongside my father, for whom I have the greatest respect," said Weiner, in a statement. "He always reminded me, and now I remind myself and my partners, that we must earn our clients' trust and confidence every day. We wanted to join a firm where that would be easy …"
Weiner became an advisor in 1986 at Shearson Lehman/American Express, while Hlavek began his career as an advisor on Weiner's team at Smith Barney in 2001.
Marsh started his advisor career in 1977 with Merrill Lynch, and Iosue joined Morgan Stanley in 2011.
Other Recruits
Highline Wealth Management, an RIA with $1.33 billion in assets, said on Wednesday that two advisors had joined the firm — one from a wirehouse and one from another RIA. Each of the advisors has clients who have on average $2 million in assets under management.
Aviva Pinto joined Highline in New York from OpenArc. He has over 25 years of experience as a financial advisor. Michael Moriarty, CFP, has been in the business for more than 20 years and moved to Highline from Morgan Stanley in Rockville, Md.
"Highline is a firm for advisors who value the leverage created by corporate resources and who very simply put client service above anything else," said CEO Neal Simon in a press release.
"This is one firm, delivering a consistent client experience," Simon explained. "If I'm on a plane sitting next to a Highline client, I want to know exactly what that actually means."
In addition to adding advisors like Pinto and Moriarty through "tuck-in" deals, Highline aims to expand by attracting two to three regional advisor firms with $100 million or more in assets in the Northeast.
"Having spent my career in the wirehouse world, this was a big move for me," Moriarty said in a statement. "At first, my clients did not understand what becoming an RIA entails. But once it was explained that we were fee-only and could provide truly independent advice, they were extremely happy."
Convergent Wealth Advisors said that Nicole Cost has joined the firm in New York, where she will handle client service, business development and custodial relationships. Prior to joining Convergent, Cost was at Evercore Wealth Management, where she managed several hundred million dollars in client assets for approximately 62 high-net-worth relationships.
"There is a huge need for comprehensive wealth planning — too few companies really focus on it — and it's exciting to combine my experience with a nationally recognized firm like Convergent," Cost said in a statement.
Convergent has about $11 billion in assets. It is owned by City National Bank.
"This year, the New York market is going to be a major strategic focus for Convergent," explained Convergent President & COO Douglas Wolford in a press release. "We're delighted that Nicole will serve as the nucleus of a major New York presence for us."

I've always liked the Swan. It's a traditional community pub in Brownhills, and as I posted here it's just re-opened. It's now a free house, so hopefully the new owners will be able to make a decent living and keep the prices realistic.
The new owners have done a cracking job: the interior has been redecorated and looks fresh, but still traditional. There's cobs (yay!), a good welcome, and a good selection of beer at decent prices, including 2 well-kept cask ales. A very nice pub.

Easy Peanut Butter Chocolates (Sweetened With Honey!)
I am so in love with our little house here in Austin.
Kathryne and I had searched for weeks and weeks on AirBnB when we planned this trip, hoping to find a place that could feel somewhat like "home" for a month. Initially, it seemed like everything cute and fun was way out of our price range. But then one day we happened to stumble across this beautiful collection of mid-century homes in the perfect neighborhood, all within walking distance to South Congress (hello amazing everything), built with soaring vaulted ceilings (my favorite), gloriously white walls (a photographer's dream), tons of natural light (to let in that warm Texas sunshine), a big open kitchen (thankfully for two food bloggers), and it's all decorated with the cutest modern furniture (my bed here even has the same West Elm duvet cover that I have at home). I had that deja vu sense I once had when searching for months for a house to buy, and we both knew in a heartbeat that this was "it".
Sure enough, the place has been absolutely dreamy so far. I love how the light streams in the back window each morning while we make French press, I love how every inch of the counter space gets crammed full of food and dishes and props while Kathryne and I are testing recipes during the day, I love the comfy couches that await us (complete with pups ready for snuggling) once we come back home at the end of the day after exploring the city. I love it!!
Ha, I have to say though, the only thing I don't love is the one small refrigerator and pantry that the two of us have to share for a month. I mean, I totally get it, knowing that most vacationers are probably not staying here cooking up a storm in the kitchen each day. But suffice it to say that by our second day here, we were having to go on treasure hunts through our packed fridge trying to find things. And our pantry is only large enough for the absolute essentials, which probably should be good news, because there's not much extra space to fill it up with snacks.
But yesterday when I happened to be craving chocolate — just a little bite of chocolate! — there was none to be found in the house. I did have a jar of cocoa powder in the pantry, though. So for the first time ever, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make some homemade chocolates for myself. And…maybe stir in a little peanut butter as well. And sweeten them with honey, since I'm going refined sugar-free for awhile.
5 ingredients, about 5 minutes of prep, and 15 minutes in the freezer later, the most delightful little chocolates were ready to go.
And I am so in love.
All of you candy-making pros out there have probably made homemade chocolates a million times. But as someone who has always been slightly intimidated by all forms of homemade candy, I have to admit that I had no idea how ridiculously easy it is to make homemade chocolates from scratch!!
You don't even need fancy ingredients.
Just take some unsweetened cocoa powder (the higher quality, the better), melted coconut oil, honey and a pinch of salt and whisk them all together until combined. And then for this recipe, I couldn't resist adding a few tablespoons of peanut butter too. You can't quite see it in the mix, but trust me, it's deliciously there.
Then pour the hot mixture into your candy molds, or into a parchment-lined small baking tray…
…and pop it in the freezer to harden (or the fridge, but let's face it, I'm impatient).
And sure enough, just 15 minutes later, these bite-sized, naturally-sweetened, delectable little bites will be ready to go.
I did go with a little heart candy mold that I picked up at the last second at Michael's for $1.99, in honor of that heart-filled holiday coming up later this week. But you can seriously mold these little bites into whatever shape you'd like. Or just break them into bars or little pieces if you use a baking dish.
And if you really want to make someone's day, bag a few up and give them as a gift!
I will say that these chocolates get fairly soft and room temperature, so they are best stored and served completely frozen or (at least) chilled. Comes with the territory with these healthier honey-sweetened chocolates. But trust me, they are still delicious with every chilled bite.
Hope you "heart" these little guys as much as I do. And happy early Valentine's Day to each of you!
Easy Peanut Butter Chocolates (Sweetened With Honey!)
These easy peanut butter chocolates are sweetened with honey, made with just 5 simple ingredients, and they are the most delicious little treats. You'll "heart" them!
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 3 Tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
- 2-3 Tablespoons honey (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add all ingredients together in a small bowl or measuring cup. Whisk together until combined and smooth.
Pour into a candy mold or into a parchment-lined small baking dish (or bread pan). Refrigerate or freeze until completely solid and chilled.
If you are using a mold, simply then pop the chocolates out to serve. If you are using a baking dish, remove the chocolate and carefully chop into your desired size of pieces with a chef's knife.
*I recommend storing the chocolate in the refrigerator and serving it chilled. It will be super-soft at room temperature.

What a great idea! Your chocolate craving is our gain. Glad you're enjoying the city!
Since Reese's are just about my favorite, I'm thinking these would be the perfect poppers. And easy enough for Smudge to make ME for valentine's :)
Those are adorable! And you can't go wrong with a peanut butter + chocolate combination :)
Adorable! Now I think I need a candy mold. :)
Love love love these chocolates! I wasn't planning on making any more chocolate treats for Valentine's Day this year, but I might have to change my mind….
These look perfectly delicious! I think my own heart may be made of peanut butter and chocolate…thanks for the recipe!
Your place sounds like perfection Ali! Love that you used honey for these treats. They are oh so cute and oh so poppable.
looks so good. I love that its sweetened with honey!
These are adorable! Love the short ingredient list breakdown.
These are absolutely adorable and I love that they're made with honey and peanut butter. YUM!
And I'd love to see you two in action in the same kitchen! I'm sure there are some interesting but also really fun moments!
These chocolates sound wonderful. I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, though – at least when mixed with chocolate. I prefer plain chocolate, so the question is, would the proportions of everything else remain the same if I were to leave out the peanut butter? I have about zero experience with candy-making.
This look close to perfect. The only thing that would make them better is if they were filled with peanut butter ensuring the flavors are distinct but married!
This looks wonderful and I love the use of honey – I might try using maple syrup!
These sound amazing! Also, I meant to ask when I found out you were coming here–do you plan on having a meet up here in Austin or are you keeping a low profile? (Maybe you already mentioned this in a previous post; if so, please forgive me!) Either way, enjoy our fair city!
I need to find myself some molds! And would love to see pics of your place!
Yei!!! Super easy, I´m gonna try it Asap… But I think I´m gonna add "amaranto" instead peanut butter and fix some "chocolate alegrías".
Oh my gosh, I am totally making these! I swear they are healthy!
Such a great idea! Peanut butter in homemade chocolate, I'd be all over that :)
What a cute idea! You certainly can't go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter :D
What a wonderful recipe – you can never go wrong with the dynamic duo of chocolate and PB!
I've never seen anything cuter in my life!!!!! Also I love that you have a tiny refrigerator but you have the perfect heart candy molds. You are seriously amazing. <3
These little chocolates are TOO CUTE! And I laughed out loud reading about the fridge situation. Things still look amazing around these parts though. No one would ever know!
chocolate & peanut butter anything sounds amazing right now – these look especially awesome!!
These are so adorable! What a great idea! You can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter :) These are perfect for Valentine's Day!
I've always wanted to visit Austin, hope you have a wonderful time there! I love the looks of these chocolates, can't go wrong with PB and chocolate, and the fact that they are so easy..perfect! Gorgeous photos :)
Yes please, I would inhale these hearts!
Happy Valentines Day Ali!

Ali – I have saved this recipe – and can't wait to make it up – thank you :)
I wonder if reducing the coconut oil to 2 tbsp would help on the super soft front? That said, who cares!
No one has ever gone wrong with chocolate.
Can you use regular oil instead of coconut? I'm allergic. :/

The Cole siblings had no intention of singing together seven years ago, but after their mother was hit by a drunk driver, their father asked them to sing to her in the hospital. That incident birthed their gospel group, Voices of Glory.
Voices of Glory performed at Madison Square Garden, opened for the Dove Awards and traveled to Germany to perform during a Christmas festival. In 2011, they performed in Joplin, Mo., for a tornado benefit and worked alongside Samaritan's Purse to clean up the devastated area.
Despite years of media attention, three gospel-singing siblings say their faith remains unshaken and their feet firmly planted.
The Cole siblings – Michael, 20, Avery, 17, and Nadia, 13 – make up the Voices of Glory. They had no plans of singing together seven years ago, but after their mother was hit by a drunk driver, their father asked them to sing to her in the hospital. Their mother, Felicia, was in a coma for eight months, but responded when her children sang.
From there, the siblings sang in other hospitals and nursing homes, then for churches and large events near their home in Highland, N.Y. In 2009, they appeared on America's Got Talent. Their first performance, singing "God Bless America," brought one judge to tears and earned them a standing ovation.
While Voices of Glory is a singing group, the three siblings have a greater purpose: "To show people more of Jesus Christ," Nadia said.
As the youngest member of the group and the only girl, Nadia is known by her brothers and fans as "the powerhouse" for her big voice. In her own humble words, she simply "complements" her brothers. And helps with their wardrobe.
"A lot of 13-year-olds are wondering who their friends are, who they can talk to. But I know I have Jesus by my side," she said. "I know who my Savior is."
So does Avery. Many people his age are searching for their identity, he said, but he has long known that his identity is found only through Christ.
The faith that penetrates this gospel group came first from Mom and Dad. Mom, who used to work as a bilingual biology teacher, was a praise dance leader, choir director and junior pastor with her husband. Dad also worked in prison ministry.
"If it wasn't for our mom's accident, we wouldn't have been singing as a group," Michael said. "God really used that to birth this ministry."
Michael was 13 at the time of her accident, and Nadia was 5.
The siblings still have a strong support system at home with Mom, Dad and their uncle as their managers. They can turn to their older family members for "godly wisdom and advice," Michael said. And the mother who inspired the group?
At the time of the accident, their mom was going to school for an administration degree. She wanted to be a principal. After the accident, she earned the degree with a perfect GPA. While she can't yet walk without assistance, she attends nearly every Voices of Glory performance.
The group just signed a contract for 200 shows in Branson, Mo., their new home, and has a CD called Send a Miracle coming out on March 18. They are working to get a book published and finalizing their own record label, Clean Records.
How will they juggle this year's busy schedule?
"God definitely has to come first," Michael said. "Once you make that time to spend with God, He'll make it so you can tackle those things you need to do. You can't rely on your own strength."
The trio's faith plays out onstage and off. On the road, the family might share devotions or watch faith-based programs. It's tradition to pray before every performance.
"If He's not getting the glory, then there's no point in us stepping out onstage anyway," Michael said.
Appearing on America's Got Talent put their faith front and center early on in their career, but as Avery said, "we knew exactly how we wanted to be displayed. We knew exactly who we stood for."
When the show aired, people around the world showed their support. Some were so influenced by the group that they gave their lives to Christ. The group also sings inspirational songs to show non-Christians that Voices of Glory cares about them, Nadia said.
Voices of Glory once performed at Madison Square Garden for a Knicks game, opened for the Dove Awards in 2010 and traveled to Germany to perform during a Christmas festival. In 2011, their song You Untie My Wings rose to the top of Southern gospel charts.
Also that year, they performed in Joplin, Mo., for a tornado benefit and worked alongside Samaritan's Purse to clean up the devastated area. They sang for Samaritan's Purse workers.
"I have seen God open up many doors for Voices of Glory," their uncle and manager, Gerard Cole, said. "I know that God has great plans for their future as a group and as individuals."
Down the road, Nadia hopes to attend Juilliard and go into music ministry. Avery wants to be a missionary and have a family. Michael, who is looking into colleges, sees himself producing more music. The family will launch their nonprofit Voices of Glory Global Ministries later this year.

Movement is the main characteristic of this second project for Alessi by Odile Decq. The "Twist Again" fruit holder originates from a piece of sheet metal, cut and folded to create a dynamic shape, a vortex of lines and surfaces that spread out from the centre. Once again, this designer has come up with a small-scale version of some of the elements typical of her work. Projects that generate a dynamic vision of tension, flux and movement.
Odile Decq studied architecture at the Universities of Rennes and Paris. She is one of the few women architects to have received some of the most prestigious awards in her profession, from the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1996 to the recent Designer of the Year at the Salon Maison & Objet 2013. She is internationally known for always having fought, in this world of men, to express her sensorial and protean vision that continue to redefine the boundaries of her profession and which she has called "hypertension", meaning the fact that a space should make us move, i.e. it should put us "in tension". www.odiledecq.com
