One Year Anniversary of Japan Tsunami Commemorated With 'Healing Anthem' (REPORT)
(HN, March 10, 2012) From Tokyo - On the one-year anniversary of the tsunami and earthquake in northern Japan, noted Japanese soprano Tomoko Shibata will perform a Japanese translation of the American healing anthem "Towers of Light" at her memorial concert at the prestigious Yamaha Hall in Tokyo. The event on Sunday evening will commemorate the victims of last year's Japanese tsunami and earthquake.
"Towers of Light" was composed by noted New York clinical psychologist and well-known radio and TV personality, Dr. Judy Kuriansky and international composer Russell Daisey. Inspired by the two beams of light which shine on each 9/11 anniversary at the Ground Zero site where the Twin Towers fell, the song promotes healing and commemorates the heroes of that day.
Through the unique friendship and shared vision of healing between the American and Japanese writers and performer, "Towers of Light" will now be featured by Tomoko Shibata in her 'Songs of Hope' concert.
The New York composing team of Kuriansky and Daisey are in Tokyo for the premiere of their song in Japanese at the concert and will make introductory remarks at the event.
Shibata produces and performs 'Songs for Hope' concerts at the earthquake zone in Japan and also around the world.
Says Shibata, "I passionately believe that music gives hope and lifts spirits of people in trauma."
Fear of another quake is ever-present in Japan, she explains, and people around the world also experience trauma and need comfort.
"My heart expands and people feel like crying when I sing the 'Towers of Light' song," Shibata says. "So I wanted to make a Japanese version so the Japanese people can appreciate the warm feeling and healing."
Shibata first sang the "Towers of Light" anthem with Dr. Judy and Russell in September 2010 for the highly acclaimed series of Hiroshima Hibaku (Survivor) Piano concerts in New York City. Subsequently, she sang it for the Tenth Anniversary of 9/11 at the 'Annual 9/11 Japanese Floating Lantern Ceremony' on the East River, NYC.
Over the past few years, Dr. Judy, Russell and Tomoko have performed the song together and through their friendship and creative collaborations the song has been translated into Japanese by Tomoko as "Souls Become Stars." Given their shared vision, this endeavor for peace has expanded and transcended the song's initial inspiration, to encompass a connection between the two monumental tragedies of 9/11 and 3/11, as well as fostering healing for survivors of both catastrophes.
Kuriansky and Daisey are co-founders of the Stand Up for Peace Project (SUFPP), an initiative that promotes peace, understanding and healing worldwide. They have performed the healing ballad "Towers of Light" internationally at peace festivals, United Nations conferences, Global Harmony concerts, peace seminars, and music and peace tours throughout Japan, Mexico and Haiti, as well as at the First Hiroshima International Peace Summit in Hiroshima, Japan, for Nobel Peace Laureates, the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Betty Williams.
"Powerful, very powerful," said the Dalai Lama when he first heard the song.
"As an international psychologist and an NGO representative at the United Nations, it is powerful to me that our song to help heal from 9/11 is now in Japanese and helping people heal from 3/11. The intensity of that cross-cultural connection brings me to tears," says Kuriansky.
The humanitarian, who represents psychological organizations at the United Nations, has provided psychological first aide after the 9/11 terrorist attacks at Ground Zero and at the Family Assistance Center, as well as after other disasters including the Asian tsunami and earthquakes in Haiti and China. She teaches psychology at Columbia University Teachers College and runs peace workshops world-wide.
SUFPP co-founder Daisey is an internationally acclaimed pianist/singer/songwriter who has played command performances for American presidents and world dignitaries, including Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and the Chiniya Lama of Kathmandu, Nepal.
On Monday, the day after the concert and 3/11 anniversary, Kuriansky, Daisey and Shibata will travel to the Miyagi area, to do a workshop and music concert for several schools. They will be joined by famous Japanese pop star Shinji Harada. All have been working on recovery and global harmony projects separately and together for years in varying parts of the world.

Nearly three-quarters of Canadians believe workplaces are shunning older job applicants based solely on their age, a worrisome finding given labour force trends in Canada.
In a survey conducted by Ipsos Reid exclusively for Postmedia News, 74 per cent of those asked either "strongly" or "somewhat" agreed that employers discriminate against older people looking for jobs. The perception is higher among Canadians over the age of 35, but even a majority of those aged 18 to 34 think older workers are subject to ageist attitudes.
Fully one-third of poll respondents said they themselves have been a victim of age discrimination, either in the workplace or when being interviewed for a job. But here, the most aggrieved group was younger workers. Forty-one per cent of people between ages 18 and 34 said they had been victims of prejudice because of their tender years, while just 38 per cent of the over-55 group felt that way.
The apparent contradiction could have several explanations, said Sean Simpson, vice-president of Ipsos Reid.
For one thing, younger people participate in more interviews as they enter the workforce and therefore are more likely to have been turned down for a job, perhaps perceiving that their age played a role.
As well, Simpson suggested, older workers are more likely to be doing the hiring. Generally, groups tend to favour hiring those in their own age bracket.
Respondents to the poll also were asked, in a hypothetical scenario, who they would be most likely to hire: someone 18 to 24; 25 to 34; 35 to 44; 45 to 54; 55 to 64; or 65 and older. The question stated that the hypothetical applicants were without any specific experience in the job but all had the same level of general qualifications.
Respondents were most likely to pick someone between the ages of 25 and 34 (37 per cent); and between 35 and 44 (25 per cent). People in their late-40s and early-50s were the next most preferred (19 per cent).
Only nine per cent said they would hire someone aged 18 to 24, or aged 55 to 64. And only three per cent said they would hire someone over the age of 65.
Even older Canadians favoured the young in this poll; the most popular age group that respondents over 55 said they would personally hire was those aged 25 to 34.
The overall trend favouring youth over age worries some experts, because the most recent population data suggest Canada faces a major labour force shortage in the years ahead. One solution to this is hiring, and retaining, older workers — but this means potential employers may have to shed their antipathy toward hiring seniors.
Pollsters asked a second variant of the "hiring" question, this time specifying that as the hypothetical worker in the question got older, he or she also had more experience. Even so, there was little difference in poll responses from the first answer. People still preferred relatively younger workers, this time favouring the age groups 25 to 34, and 35 to 44, (31 per cent preferred each of these two groups). Support for hiring the other age groups was virtually unchanged from the first question.
"It looks like some experience is great, but it really doesn't matter if you've had 10 years or 30 years of experience — once you've got a good amount, you don't need tonnes of it" to be among the favoured age group for hiring, said Simpson.
The online poll was conducted between July 10 and 13 and surveyed 1,005 people. The data was weighted against census information to ensure a balanced picture of demographics. An unweighted poll of this size has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

salazie necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 41 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
We provide a service for individuals to promote their property for sale or rent on the internet. We like modern, clean, fresh designs (who doesn't!), and are using 99designs for the first time following a review of the high standard of designs entered in other contests.
I'm starting this out as a standard contest, but as soon as the entries look of a high enough quality I'll make it guaranteed.
The general public - people looking for property to buy or rent.
I'm looking for a clean, modern redesign of our current website http://tinyurl.com/mlzdaj. The site is basically a property brochure website, showing details of a selected property for sale or rent via a number of pages navigated through a horizontal and vertical menu.
Each page is dynamically built to a standard format, with a heading, some smaller text underneath, then the main page text with a large image which could be left, right or centred, and finally optional thumbnail images at the bottom in 3 columns.
I'm open to suggestions regarding colours, although if you stick to blue, silver, orange, green, anything like that then you won't go too far wrong. Design-wise there must be a horizontal and vertical menu, and I'd like a nice hover effect on both the menus, so please show an example of this in the template design. Other than that be as creative as you'd like to be. I don't have a logo and would prefer just some nice text with a generic image for a header - any images used should be UK focused. Here are some sites I like the design of:
In summary - I'm after a modern, clean, flexible, easy to navigate design, appealing to site visitors and property owners alike. If you have any questions - please ask!

Izmir Travel Guide
Izmir © Mighty Travels
Izmir is Turkey's third largest city, a busy port, commercial centre and gateway to the Aegean Coast, but despite its size (population around three million) and importance it still retains enough holiday ambience to draw visitors to linger. Izmir is lively and cosmopolitan, and it is also scenic with palm-lined promenades lining the bay, backed by graceful avenues, and with attractive, horizontal terraces rising up the slopes of the surrounding mountains.
Visitors come to see the sights, haggle in the colourful bazaar, and dine on delicious meals at the many waterfront restaurants. Formerly known as Smyrna, Izmir is ancient, dating from around 3,000 BC, but today is thoroughly modern, having been almost obliterated by a fire in 1922 and rebuilt. There is still some worthy sightseeing to be done in the city, like the 19th century clock tower, the 18th century Konak Cami mosque, and an archaeology museum. A must-see is the city's landmark public elevator, linking Mithatpasa Street with the summit of the hill at Halil Rifat Pasa, from where there is a stunning view across the city and the bay. The best way to enjoy Izmir is to join the promenaders in the balmy evening air strolling on the esplanade, or jogging along in a horse-drawn carriage, between Konak Meydan and Alsancak.
Like any modern city and holiday destination, Izmir has its share of shopping centres, and here the best stores are to be found lining the Kordon Promenades in Alsancak, Karsiyaka, and Cumhuriyet Avenue. Visitors, however, would do better to head for the atmospheric old district with its narrow streets and hidden doorways. There are bustling markets in Konak Square and Kemeraltý. There is a larger mall called the Forum in nearby Bornova. Shopping here is a fascinating experience, and you can buy anything from antiques and dried figs (for which Izmir is famous), to fine jewellery, hand-made shoes, and a variety of clothing.
The holiday destination of Izmir is renowned for its many seafood restaurants, but whatever all tastes are catered for in this city, which is well supplied with extremely affordable, good eateries, particularly along the Kordon Boyu Promenade. The local speciality, the delectable fish, Cipura, is so popular that it is farmed and served up in dozens of city restaurants. It is best enjoyed grilled, with a salad of fresh greens and herbs and sprinkled with olive oil. Reputedly Izmir's top seafood restaurant is the Deniz, while for traditional Turkish, spiced up with belly dancing, head to the Sini Sofrasi restaurant, or Topçu'nun Yeri, a down-to-earth sidewalk cafe.
Holidaymakers will find that the nightlife in Izmir can be as hectic or as sedate as you wish. Most of the after dark action for visitors is centred on the Kordon Boyu, Passport Pier and Karsiyaka, where nightclubs and bars stay open until the early hours. 1448 Sokak in Alsancak has a number of clubs, and is a popular area for gay nightlife. More cultural entertainment is on offer too, like performances of the Aegean Philharmonic Orchestra. The city is particularly lively during the annual International Arts Festival, which takes place between June and July, and the carnival-like International Fare at the end of August.
Izmir boasts some interesting archaeological sites and museums, including the Izmir Museum of Archaeology - for visitors can relax in the city's parks. Kulturpark, site of the annual International Fair, provides a good day out all year round with its amusement park, zoo, restaurant and tranquil gardens; Fuar has many restaurants, bars, and kebab stalls. Kadifekale castle is a popular attractions, as well as the Teleferik cable car. You can also walk along the waterfront promenade or wander the small streets of Alsancak. There are numerous opportunities for excursions out of the city. Just a short dolmus (mini-bus) ride away to the west is the beautiful Cesme Peninsula with its stretches of sandy beach, where visitors can enjoy watersports or take a boat trip along the coast. Various local operators offer day trips into the surrounding countryside, taking in a variety of interesting destinations from thermal baths and fishing villages to the famous Roman ruins of Ephesus.
Visitors should be aware that temperatures can be extreme in the height of summer.

Additional Info
About the artist:
Houston Llew was seven the first time he got lost in the art world. A boy gone missing at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, he was found quietly sketching Botticelli's 'Annunciation' in a notepad. In later years, he shared the same quiet moments in Holland with Van Gogh and with da Vinci at the Louvre. After graduating from Auburn University, Houston worked in the seaport of Savannah then moved along the Gulf Coast where he kept books for a living and cast netted to keep his sanity. While journeying westward to Santa Fe, Houston met the artist Zingaro, a master enamellist and heir to the revolutionary enameling techniques of Craig Ruwe and Fred Ball. Zingaro shared with Houston the precious gift, the luminous medium of glass fired on copper. Houston now lives in the West End district of Atlanta where he and his artists listen to music while creating the fabulous art of Spiritiles. Age-old and not so age-old sayings of wit and wisdom are presented along with brilliant images created by fusing finely-powdered colored glass to sheet copper in a 1500° F kiln. The resulting copper "canvas" is painstakingly wrapped around a solid wood block then sealed on the back. The inscriptions are presented on the sides of the block, the author identified on the top.
Hand-crafted in the U.S.A.

LeBron welcomed home by Akron
AKRON, Ohio (AP) For a chance to see LeBron James, Rodneka Price drove seven hours and stood in line for another six.
"I might cry when I see him," she said.
James is being welcomed back Friday night by the city where he first bounced a basketball. The NBA superstar is being celebrated with an event expected to draw more than 25,000 people to InfoCision Stadium. James grew up in Akron and has maintained a strong connection with his hometown.
James recently re-signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers after four years in Miami. To show its appreciation, Akron is throwing James a homecoming party to coincide with an annual "Wheels for Education" event hosted by his family's foundation.
Fans began lining up at 11 a.m. to get a prime seat to see James, the four-time league MVP who hopes to end a 50-year championship drought in Cleveland.
Melissa Rumner and her son, Nick, were first in a long line which wrapped around the stadium on the University of Akron's campus.
"We had to be here to welcome him back," Rumner said as 10-year-old Nick stood by wearing one of the white No. 23 jerseys James popularized during his seven seasons with the Cavs. "We're so happy to have him back."
Nick was confident James would return to Cleveland.
"I knew he was coming back," said the red-head, who was counting down the minutes before the gates opened.
Price packed up a car of six people and drove to Ohio for the first time so she could help welcome back James. She said his announcement that he was returning to his home to try and win Cleveland its first championship since 1964 touched her.
"It all makes sense," she said, wearing a "Return Of The King" T-shirt. "He made a promise and he's going to stick to it."

A Washington Post editorial finds Vice President Cheney's case that Saddam Hussein is a menace "persuasive." But the Post demands that, before attempting to topple Saddam, the administration first offer a realistic plan for replacing him with a pluralistic government where "the human rights of every ethnic and religious group are recognized." That's a pretty high standard to impose as a pre-condition of protecting our national security. Nonetheless, David Pryce-Jones in National Review Online offers what he thinks is such a plan — a constitutional Hashemite monarchy, possibly with Prince Hassan of Jordan as "a figurehead who can serve to unite different national religions or ethnic groups." Pryce-Jones is not deterred by charges of "colonialism," for which he offers, in effect, two cheers.

Subscribe To Why You Should Watch Shane Black Movies On Christmas Updates
I've already subscribed
Notable for having been the first screenwriter in history to sell a script for seven figures, Shane Black is known for having a lot of similar themes in his scripts, from kidnapping plots to titles that start with the letter "L." My favorite of them all, though, is his tendency to set his films during the holiday season. Out of the seven screenplays that Black has written, four of them are set during the season in which kids go to sleep anxiously awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus: Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and, my personal favorite, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Filled with explosions, guns, violence, cursing and all varieties of mayhem, the plots of Black's films may not seem like essential holiday viewing, but behind each one is a message so worthy of Christmas that it would make Tiny Tim shit out some tinsel, a candy cane and one of those stars you put on top of the tree.
At the start of Lethal Weapon, Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) don't exact get along too well. In fact, there's a pretty significant scene towards the opening of the film where Murtaugh holds a gun under Riggs' throat just to make sure that if Riggs fires it will be sure to kill him. When faced with a common struggle and given a joint goal, the two police officers teach each other tolerance and the value of life, but most importantly, they learn the value of partnership.
Unlike Roger Murtaugh, who is a respected member of his own household, Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis) of The Last Boy Scout is a train-wreck. His wife is cheating on him with his best friend and his daughter, Darian (Danielle Harris), is a smart-mouth brat who doesn't cherish her father's as much as she treat him like dog shit. But when a serious case gets thrown his way and he manages to uncover a massive conspiracy, Joe proves to his daughter that not only can he be respected as a person, but as a father as well. It's family values, Shane Black style.
Finally we arrive at Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr.) in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. As funny and witty as he may be, Harry is probably the biggest lowlife in this entire article. He's a loser without potential who steals stuff to get by. But this is a Christmas story, and Christmas stories are about redemption and making up for past mistakes. Kicking off with a case of mistaken identity, he discovers his hidden talents, reconnects with a former flame and finds himself on the right side of the law for the first time in years. It's a Christmas miracle.
But do you know what's even better than the value of friendship, family values, making peace with yourself and finding redemption for past sins on Christmas? A psychotic brawl in your best friend's front yard, a gunfight at a football stadium, an exploding tanker truck on the US/Canada border and shooting at the bad guys with a small revolver you keep by your balls. Since getting his first script produced in 1987 at the age of only 26, Shane Black has written four of the most badass-while-moral-filled Christmas movies of all time. There's only so many times that you can hear George Bailey say Merry Christmas or watch Ralphie Parker ask for a Red Ryder BB Gun. This year, spike the proceedings with a four pack of awesome and make Shane Black movies your holiday cinema of choice.

Dirty Times = Fast Times
I felt unbelievably good today. I have lost almost 1 kg since the last interval session a week ago and, boy, did it make a difference.
Mile 1: 6:34
Mile 2: 6:36 (removal of long-sleeved shirt, hat and gloves remain)
Mile 3: 6:33
Mile 4: 6:47
Mile 5: 6:43
I didn't feel like I had it in me to run the last mile at under 7 into the wind. I couldn't find another woman runner to battle. No one was running today. So I relied on Apples In Stereo yet again to help me through with "Dance Floor".
Mile 6: 6:49!
This is my fastest and most consistent interval session to date. I am so pleased. It is the last speed work I'll do before Copenhagen Marathon.
Running Song of the Day (also happens to be French): Désolé by Sexion D'Assaut

Congratulations on those fast times! I know I've probably missed a whole explanation section, but -- any quick advice on how to get into a position to run such quick miles? I do interval training every day but am still far from running a 6:34 mile. Did you just speed up gradually over time? Thanks!!

Thanks for your comment SLG.
I am pretty sure it is much better in the Czech Rep and Slovakia now than the time when you visited:) It is definitely more colorful and economy is doing much better.
And it is interesting because everybody in Slovakia complains how everything is of a poor quality now (well, at least everything coming from Asia). Back than you bought a car and it lasted for 20 years, or bought a swimming suit and you could wear it for years and years and it would not fall apart. But of course I guess that all swim suits and cars were either gray or brown:)
I am going to follow your advice and I will try not to cut down too much on my training, only run on soft surfaces and I'll see what happens.

Currently, the U.S. spends 1% of its annual budget on international affairs. This includes all support for U.S.-led efforts in fighting global hunger and poverty through agriculture. As policymakers in Washington, D.C., weigh 2014-15 budget priorities, there is a general consensus that the risk has never been higher for political will falter when it comes to supporting farmers around the world: and these farmers are vital to food security domestically and abroad.
Join the Farm Journal Foundation's Farmers Feeding the World initiative in a new effort that enables U.S. farmers and ranchers to lend their voice in educating policymakers on the global hunger crisis—and the need to continue supporting modern agriculture in developing countries as a vital solution to combating that crisis.
As a member of the Farmers Feeding the World Farm Team, you will help our Foundation shape our strategy of engaging policymakers in Washington, D.C., and in your home district. You will receive training to be an effective advocate. And you will meet farmers and policymakers from across the United States of America.
Farm Team members will be competitively chosen with the opportunity to serve for two years. Annual commitment will be one to two weeks throughout the year, and major travel expenses will be covered during your policy visits.
If you would like to nominate yourself for the Farm Team—or suggest someone who should be invited to participate—please click the link below to fill out the form.
Questions on the Farm Teams should be sent to Garrett Jewett at email@example.com.

The 84-year-old Bulger was found guilty of racketeering, extortion and money laundering in August after a rancorous two-month trial, with a federal jury linking him to 11 killings. Federal prosecutors have urged District Judge Denise Casper to hand down a life sentence for the longtime fugitive, calling him one of the city's "most violent and despicable criminals."
"Presiding over a massive criminal enterprise, Bulger extorted dozens of individuals, flooded South Boston with cocaine, shot innocent people, strangled women, murdered his competitors, corrupted FBI agents, and then ran away and hid for 16 years," U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz wrote in a November 7 sentencing memorandum.
"There are no mitigating factors, and defendant Bulger has no redeeming qualities which would justify any sentence below the one called for by the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the applicable case law and statutes," she added.
Bulger didn't testify in his trial, complaining the proceedings were "a sham."
Bulger was captured in California in 2011, a decade and a half after skipping town ahead of a pending indictment. After he fled, investigators learned that the longtime head of south Boston's Winter Hill Gang had been an FBI informant and that Bulger's FBI handler had not only tipped him off to the charges, but also gave up another informant, who was later killed.
Meanwhile, Bulger's brother William had risen from the family's blue-collar Irish neighborhood to become president of the state Senate and head of the University of Massachusetts. But in 2003, he was forced to resign the school's presidency after admitting to a congressional committee that he had spoken to his brother while Whitey was on the run, though he denied any knowledge of his whereabouts or alleged criminal activity.
Bulger denied being an informant even as he insisted that he'd had an immunity deal with the former head of the Justice Department's Organized Crime Strike Force in New England. Prosecutors countered that with a 700-page file outlining how Bulger provided information on murders, drug deals, armed robberies and criminal fugitives that led to several arrests.
The tale became the basis for the Oscar-winning film "The Departed," which starred Jack Nicholson as a character modeled on Bulger.
At the trial, Bulger snarled, hissed and scowled at prosecutors and witnesses. At one point, he and onetime enforcer Kevin Weeks shouted obscenities at each other when Weeks called Bulger a "rat" during his testimony.
But Weeks told CNN after the verdict that the Bulger who sat at the defense table was a shadow of the underworld legend he'd once known.
"He wasn't the same guy I knew," Weeks said. "I mean, he's a lot older, but he had no life in his eyes. He was subdued. He had changed. He just kind of lost his spark."
CNN's Greg Botelho and Deborah Feyerick contributed to this report.

In the overview of the findings of the 2012 Top Wealth Managers survey, part one of our analysis of the survey, we argued that the wealth management industry is rapidly changing. In part two of our analysis, we addressed profitability and productivity. In this article, we focus on an interesting finding from the survey—the point at which HNW clients appear to require more in service than they add in revenue—and look ahead to the future of wealth management.
Working with wealthier clients and larger portfolios seems to be the intuitive solution for achieving higher productivity for wealth management firms. But our 2012 Top Wealth Manager data suggests that at some point, the very wealthy clients seem to require more in service than they add in revenue.
If we split the participants in the survey by the average size of their client accounts, we will find an inflection point near $20 million in AUM per client. Firms that have an average client size over $20 million reach very high levels of total AUM, an average of $4.1 billion, but a relatively lower average revenue size of $4.8 million compared to AUM.
In contrast, firms that work with relationships between $5 million and $20 million have total AUM of $1.8 billion, but have $7.4 million in revenue. If we calculate the relationship between revenues and assets, we can clearly see the inflection point. Firms with large relationships have a yield (revenue to AUM) of 18 basis points while medium-size firms have yield of 40 basis points.
The high cost of the relationship is also visible in the ratio of clients per advisor. Firms with over $20 million per relationship have eight clients per advisor on average; firms who work with smaller relationships, those under $5 million in AUM, have 59 clients per advisor. This is where the lack of leverage becomes apparent.
While average client size is vastly different, the revenue result is about the same. Firms working with the largest clients have revenue per professional of $474,612 while firms working with small relationships have revenue per professional of $456,863, slightly smaller but not qualitatively different. It seems the optimum trade-off between size and productivity is between $5 million to $10 million in AUM.
Where Wealth Management Begins: Client Retention
We mentioned that growth is a priority, but in wealth management, everything starts with a focus on existing clients.
It should be of no surprise that first and foremost, advisors want to focus on retaining their client
This is true for firms of every size (see table below to view the priorities expressed by the wealth management firms in this year's survey, based on their size measured by total assets under management).
Retention fuels growth through existing client referrals. In fact, we can look at the first four items on the chart on the left as a continuous cycle—retention creates referrals from existing clients, which brings revenue growth to the firm; in turn, an increase in revenue then brings an increase in profitability.
Unfortunately, this cycle can be very slow and interrupted by market movements or other events. Referrals from clients alone are not enough for meeting most growth goals and revenue alone is not enough to grow profitability.
Viewing the priorities of the wealth managers in this year's survey by firm size indicates that all firms regardless of size still place serving and retaining clients as their top priorities, followed by finding good new clients, growing revenues and growing profits.
Productivity issues may be the reason why, when participants were asked in the survey what help they would want to receive from custodians, their top two responses were technology and practice management. This is where some of the needs diverge between the largest and smallest firms. The largest firms had significant interest in product, alternative investments and education on new investment vehicles, while smaller firms assigned the least importance to alternative investments and other product information.
Of the participants in the study, the table on the prior page shows that 47% use Charles Schwab as their primary custodian, 20% use Fidelity, 11% use TD Ameritrade, 7% use Pershing and the remaining 15% are split among multiple firms. Most firms, however, use multiple custodians with, on average, 77% of their assets being held with the primary custodian.
Primary custodian market shares remain consistent across all segments, with the exception of Pershing and TDA. These two custodians traded their spots on the list with the largest participants using Pershing as their primary custodian (13%) versus TDA (4%).
What's Next for Wealth Management?
The 2012 Top Wealth Manager survey shows an industry in a period of prosperity, high AUM and attracting very high-end clients. The industry is also changing: the size of the average firm has grown, and the bar to be one of the top firms is higher than ever before. What is more, the nature of wealth management firms is changing. Many are owned by large public companies or national brands, and many are much larger firms than the respective local offices of their traditional competitors, wirehouse firms and trust companies. You can see advertisements from several firms on national TV, radio or in magazines.
The word independent, too, is becoming harder to define and use. Yet, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Success comes to those firms which can create a long-term, sustainable growth strategy and patiently build on their strong client relationships. The challenges remain the same—finding the optimal balance between the size of the client relationship and the cost of service while creating a productive service model that relies on teams and the most experienced professionals.
The Top Wealth Managers in the AdvisorOne survey provide an example for the entire industry to follow—a path to growth and success in business and client service.

Latest Heart News
TUESDAY, Nov. 19, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Genetic testing could help better guide doctors' use of warfarin, new research suggests. The blood-thinning medication is widely used to prevent stroke and heart attack in people with irregular heartbeats.
Warfarin is a popular medication, but a tricky one to use, the researchers said. Patients who receive too strong a dose can suffer from unusual and excessive bleeding, potentially coughing up or vomiting blood, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).
But doctors who used genetic testing to guide patients' warfarin doses were better able to quickly reach and consistently remain within the drug's therapeutic "sweet spot," according to the study. It was published in the Nov. 19 online edition of the New England Journal of Medicine and presented Tuesday at the AHA's annual meeting in Dallas.
"[Blood-thinning] therapy is difficult and it's associated with a lot of potentially harmful side effects," said Barbara Howard, a senior scientist at MedStar Health Research Institute in Hyattsville, Md. "It is important to get the dose right, and here is a potential area where genetic testing could play a valuable role." Howard, who is also a professor at Georgetown University Hospital, was not involved with the new research.
The study involved about 450 patients, approximately half of whom were randomly assigned to receive a genetic test that would guide their warfarin dose, said the study's lead author, Munir Pirmohamed, chairman of pharmacogenetics at the University of Liverpool, in England.
"Warfarin is 60 years old," Pirmohamed said. "Dwight D. Eisenhower was one of the first people to get this medication." Despite the drug's age, however, dosing guidelines haven't changed much, he said.
About three-quarters of the patients in the study suffered from atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that increases a person's risk of heart attack and stroke by allowing blood to pool in one of the heart's chambers. The rest of the participants had deep vein thrombosis, a condition in which blood clots in veins put patients at risk for heart attack and stroke.
Doctors used two specific genes associated with the blood-clotting process to help determine the amount of medication a person would receive, Pirmohamed said.
Patients with a genetically guided warfarin dose remained within the therapeutic sweet spot for 67 percent of their three-month-long treatment, compared with 60 percent for people taking warfarin without the genetic guidance.
Patients with genetic dosing reached that sweet spot about 28 percent more quickly, Pirmohamed said. They also were able to begin a stable long-term dose about 25 percent more quickly. In addition, they required 9 percent fewer dose adjustments.
The researchers used a limited genetic test that costs about $67.
A U.S. expert said genetic testing is likely to become much more useful in determining drug dosage in the future, given that the costs of such tests are falling.
A test that can reveal a person's entire genetic code currently costs about $1,000 -- down from $80,000 a few years ago, said Dr. Joseph Loscalzo, chairman of the department of medicine and physician-in-chief at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Loscalzo, who also is editor-in-chief of the journal Circulation, said he expects that one day such a test could cost as little as $100.
MedStar's Howard said a person would only need one genetic test to help guide their therapy. After all, genetics do not change.
The picture regarding these tests remains hazy, however. A related study, led by Dr. Stephen Kimmel, of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, was presented Tuesday at the AHA meeting. The study of nearly 1,000 patients found no significant difference between those whose warfarin dose was based on genetic testing and those with doses set using current guidelines.
In that study, both groups of patients were in the therapeutic sweet spot about 45 percent of the time.
The difference between the two studies might be the other factors beyond genetics that can determine warfarin dosing, said Dr. Patrick Ellinor, a cardiologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital Heart Center.
Those factors can include the age, weight and race of the patient, as well as whether they smoke or have other health risks. "That's just as helpful as the genetic information, and we should be using it," said Ellinor, who also is an associate professor at Harvard Medical School.
Another study suggested a potential substitute for warfarin. The study found that the medication edoxaban does just as good a job preventing stroke and heart attack but with significantly lower risk of bleeding.
The edoxaban study involved more than 21,000 atrial fibrillation patients at nearly 1,400 hospitals in 46 countries.
QUESTIONSee Answer
Edoxaban performed just as well as warfarin in preventing strokes, according to the study, which was published recently in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the AHA meeting.
But major bleeding was 20 percent lower among patients taking a high dose of edoxaban and 53 percent lower among those taking a low dose, compared to patients taking similar doses of warfarin.
Compared to warfarin, the high dose of edoxaban was associated with a 14 percent reduction in death by heart attack or stroke, while the low dose was associated with a 15 percent reduction.
"We know this drug is safer than warfarin, particularly at a low dose," said the study's lead author, Dr. Robert Giugliano, a researcher and physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Amir Johnson forced overtime with two late baskets Friday and Rudy Gay scored at the buzzer in the extra period to give Toronto a 100-98 win over Indiana.
The Raptors ended the Pacers' five-game winning streak in dramatic fashion, overcoming a four-point deficit during the final seconds of the fourth period.
Johnson tipped in a miss by Gay with 6.2 seconds left in the final quarter to bring the Raptors within two and Gay then stole an errant pass from Indiana's David West.
Johnson hurried a shot that missed, grabbed his own rebound and put it home to bring about a 90-90 tie.
Indiana's George Hill made 1-of-2 free throws with 1:30 left in overtime to tie it and neither side scored again until Gay hit a jumper with 1.7 seconds to go.
Toronto snapped a two-game skid and won on the road for just the sixth time in 25 tries this season.
Gay and DeMar DeRozan both scored 23 points for the Raptors. West led Indiana with 30 points. George added 26.

Today marked the release of The Cabin in the Woods on Blu-ray and DVD (whether or not you've seen it, go pick it up immediately), The House at the End of the Street is in theaters this Friday, and we've seen trailers for movies like Texas Chainsaw 3D and Mama - despite the fact that neither will be out for this year's All Hallow's Eve.

New Sinister Poster Aims To Scare With A Bloody Wall
In Sinister, the new horror movie from director Scott Derrickson, Ethan Hawke plays a true crime writer who moves to a new house with his family while investigating a mysterious quadruple murder. In the new house the character finds a box of super 8 films, all of which have the same strange, disturbing face embedded in them somewhere. And Summit Entertainment isn't even trying to hide said face in their marketing materials.

Ethan Hawke Is Haunted In Sinister Trailer
Writer-director Scott Derrickson is drawn to tales of the dark side. He first broke through in 2005 by spinning the peculiar story of Anneliese Michel into the horror-drama The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Since then he's created the supernatural horror film Sinister, which follows a struggling true-crime novelist, who rather than bringing his work home, makes his work home, moving his family into a house that's prior residence were horrifically murdered...

Given the opportunity to explore U2 from Theological, Spiritual view we have watched many books, sites and interesting side notes appear. However the classic general introduction to U2 from a spiritual perspective comes from Steve Stockman's well organized Walk On: The Spiritual Journey of U2; "Stocki" an Irishman who has been writing on the band since the early 80s and knows their milieu intimately. Also consider the works of Vagacs and Scharen as well as Garrett to complete your collection, However, most of the best theologically informed writers on U2 are working in journals, magazines, and online. U2-and-God pieces are those by Steven Harmon and Mark Meynell
Since U2 lyrics reflect a thorough immersion in Biblical thought and language, it's often useful to turn to Drawing Their Fish in the Sand, an online archive of scripture allusions in the band's work.
Moving from reflection on U2 to material directly by the band, one option that will spark thought is Bono's National Prayer Breakfast sermon in 2006, which can be viewed here (a 22-minute clip via CNN and YouTube) or purchased as the book On The Move (including photos from his service in Ethiopia with World Vision as a young man). An often-reprinted excerpt from Bono in Conversation, displays the singer at ease in the role of apologist for faith.
And then there's listening! Novices should certainly explore a best-of album, or a classic like The Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby; however, U2 are above all a live band whose vision cannot be fully grasped from their studio material, which is in essence a preliminary sketch for what they eventually achieve in performance.
Their slogan: "Live is where we live."
We would recommend a trip to YouTube. Either look up performances of your own favorite songs, or observe a few characteristic U2-plus-their-audience moments: Where The Streets Have No Name (2001), Sunday Bloody Sunday (1988), Mothers of The Disappeared (1998—in Santiago with the real mothers brought onstage), the love song to the Holy Spirit Mysterious Ways (2009) and the ZooTV iteration of The Fly (1993) with Bono in character and disorientation on the agenda.
It's a cliché to point out that the band's name is a pun: You, too, can be part of this. With that outlook, it's no surprise that I need to tell you that this guide just skims the surface of ways spiritually-minded listeners can interact with U2's material. Come on in and mix it up; there's room for everyone
There are big questions about some of the things they do and say. There are the financial decisions that U2 Inc. have made, there are other concerns of lifestyle and rock star egos, there are concerns about their theology and ethics. For example Christians some have cited their Coexist campaign (which calls on all the 'Sons of Abraham - Jews, Christians and Muslims - to live together in peace) as evidence of universalism. Well, it may well be! Yet it is hard to deny the moral goodness of the objective.
If one needs labels (and how one wishes one didn't), perhaps we should see U2 as 'post-evangelical' (in the sense of what Dave Tomlinson was getting at in his 1995 book of that name) more than anything else. That will leave many things to be desired for the regular evangelical, of course.
But it is interesting how often themes of historic Christian orthodoxy permeate and inform their creativity. It is of course easy for Christian observers to judge and condemn them - yet who of us can honestly claim to understand the choices, dilemmas and conflicts that arise from having such wealth and influence?
Nevertheless, they offer a profound challenge to Christians with their passionate and committed engagement with the world around us at the social, political and personal levels. U2 is one model of Christian artistic engagement at the highest and most exposed level.
You might not agree with everything they do; you may totally detest their music! But it is foolish to ignore their attempts – for in recent times, no another performers have brought a Christian worldview and set of values into the public square more wholeheartedly and globally than U2. "U2: The Stadium Psalmists & Prophets Mark Meynell
Closing Thoughts. Most of us listen to music as background, something to fill the void. I challenge you to listen to music, really listen. Listen not only to U2 songs, but all songs. You find that references to God and man are vast and written deep within songs that you never thought would have any reference at all.
2011 has been another defining year for the boys, and we of course will continued be along for the ride "Will You?"

A St. Michael's man is charged with second-degree murder after police said he grabbed an Easton man around his neck before he died earlier this month.
Matthew Mikowski, 17, was indicted Tuesday, in the death of Samuel I. Cross, 18, whose body was found by state troopers near Bozman-Neavit Road and St. Michael's Road June 10. The two men were with a group that may have been using LSD, police said.
Witnesses told police Mikowski grabbed Cross around the neck, according to police, who believe Mikowski moved Cross' body and left it near the victim's Honda Pilot, where he was later found.
The medical examiner's officer ruled the death a homicide by asphyxiation.
Mikowski, of the 9000-block of Bozman-Neavit Road, is charged with second degree murder, reckless endangerment, second degree assault, and four counts of distribution of LSD. State court records have no information about whether he has a lawyer, and family members could not immediately be located.
He was arrested Wednesday by state police in Wernersville, Pennsylvania, and is being held at the Berks County Jail pending extradition proceedings.

When The Horsepower Count Goes Up You'll Need Some Extra Driveline Clout. A Centerforce Clutch May Be The Answer.
Chatter, slipping, limited or no adjustment, catastrophic failure, and heavy pedal pressure are the most common reasons to upgrade your clutch, but sometimes the simplest reason is a technological upgrade for comfort. Older OEM finger clutches have been used with most three- and four-speed standard shift cars for decades. These old heavy-duty clutches sound cool, but have you ever driven one in stop-and-go traffic? Not fun, unless you have a hydraulically powered left leg. This '70 Judge had an older aftermarket performance clutch, which was getting tired. It started chattering and wasn't holding sufficient pressure on the flywheel. And most aggravating, it was a bear to operate. Time to upgrade.
We're installing a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch (PN DF271739), which distributes pressure evenly over a 360-degree friction facing on one side of the clutch disc, and uses a segmented design on the other side to concentrate clamping pressure, hence the "dual friction" moniker. We chose this clutch because it combines excellent driveability with light pedal pressure.
Whenever you're replacing a clutch, always have the flywheel resurfaced or install a new flywheel. Just because it looks good doesn't mean it is good. Any clutch disc needs a flat surface to properly engage the flywheel, and about 500 miles of use to break-in properly. If your flywheel is glazed or uneven, the clutch disc will wear out in short order.
The engineering of this Centerforce pressure plate includes a centrifugal weight system. As engine rpm increases, the centrifugal force also increases due to these weights. This force increases the diaphragm pressure, resulting in more clamp load down through the pressure plate and disc to the flywheel. Simply put, this creates a clutch that functions more efficiently and with far less pedal pressure than a conventional finger-style clutch.
If you're installing a new clutch install a new throwout bearing. They're inexpensive, and are a critical part of the system. A worn bearing will usually be noisy and will not provide the proper release capabilities for the clutch. We're installing a Centerforce self-aligning bearing (PN N1716), but will first compare it with the one we remove from the car. They must be the same height, diameter, and have the right inside diameter to work properly. Always check before installing the new bearing. This bearing is the replacement for all GM applications that use a stamped-steel throwout bearing fork.
Our installation took between four and five hours, working slowly. Allow a day if you are working on the floor. After we adjusted the clutch, the testdrive was amazing. The pedal pressure was half of what it was, and the clutch engagement was positive, smooth, and effortless, making the car a pleasure to drive. Let's proceed with the R&R of the clutch, and look at some other critical parts and procedures along the way.
Preinstallation Checklist
• It's a good idea to have a factory service manual for your car
• Have a can of brake cleaner handy to wash the machined flywheel
• You'll need a torque wrench for the flywheel/clutch plate bolts
• Do you have an alignment tool for the clutch assembly?
• Do you have a replacement pilot bearing and removal tool if applicable?
• You'll need a floor jack and four jackstands for on-the-ground work
• Have a jack to support the transmission if working on the ground
• Take pictures of all the components and linkages before removal
• Refer to your vehicle manual service for clutch adjustment procedure

Alfonso (special) Cocktail
1 Dash Angostura Bitters.
4 Dashes Italian Vermouth. (1 tsp Italian Vermouth)
1/4 Dry Gin. (Generous 1/2 oz Dry Gin)
1/4 French Vermouth. (Generous 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth)
1/2 Grand Marnier. (Generous 1 oz Grand Gala)
Shake (Stir!) well and strain into cocktail glass.
Here's another of those puzzles, where you wonder what one Alfonso cocktail has to do with the other. Or what makes this one "special".
In this case, I much preferred the not so special plain old Alfonso to the "Special". This Satan's Whiskers with inverted proportions is naturally quite sweet, and ended up getting a bit tiresome before I reached the end.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

JUDGE DREDD ABC Warrior Robot Bust
WELCOME TO THE JUDGE DREDD ABC WARRIOR PAGE!!!! The kit you see here is modeled on the film-used skull and jaw. All the rest of the parts I built from scratch. ENJOY!!
**please note that this kit is 6 lbs shipped. They ship from California so shipping to east coast destinations can range up to $30 alone for postage.
The ABC Warriors followed the exploits of an elite team of battle robots that fought against the fascist Volgan Empire. ABC stands for Atomic, Bacterial and Chemical, the three types of warfare situations that the robots were designed to fight in.
Here's a magnificent build-up of this model kit by Mr. Randy Neubert of voodoofx.com
Some of the incredible detail of this prop!
AM SUPER PUMPED ABOUT THIS!!!! Here, finally, is the remastered and re-tooled ABC WARRIOR BUST KIT. (referenced from newly available photos of the screen used animatronic). Also coming soon is a fully detailed build-up tutorial VIDEO!! The tutorial will detail the trimming, cleanining, painting, assembly, weathering and as a bonus it will include instructions for electronics assembly and installation. Check back soon!!!!
UPDATE!! NEW KIT COMPLETED!!! It's a completely new kit, three times as many components to match the screen-used ABC Robot.
There is an OPTIONAL ELECTRONIC LED KIT for this kit. It is $25 with free worldwide shipping. It includes resistors, shrink tubing, on/off switch, battery clip, green LEDs and wiring. Here's the instructions for this kit:
New cad files created April 2011 for the Remaster:
This is a lifesize ABC warrior from JUDGE DREDD. I was lucky enough to come across an opportunity to own the molds used to produce the film-used Head and Jaw. The parts are all cast in high impact plastic. Advanced modeling skills are recommended for this buildup.
The raw kit (you trim, assemble and paint yourself) is $295 and includes:
- skull
- jaw
- 2 red transluscent eyes
- left temple insert
- right temple insert
- pistons
- earcaps (2)
- greeblies to detail the temples
- collar (used to support the display)
The price of the new kit is uncertain and includes much more resin than the previous kit version. I will *try* to keep it under 300 for all the parts.
******NEW PARTS COMING APRIL 2011: Retooled eye sockets with eye controller rings. New accurate jaw and skull piston actuators. New collar wishbone (wider, longer, more accurate). Re-detailed temple insets for accuracy. Rear panel accurized on the jaw plate.
New completed parts:
The eyes in the above photos represent two different sculpts. I will decide which version suits the kit the best during prototype assembly. Also, the pistons in the photo don't represent a complete set. On the far right piston, there will be 3 of those included with each kit.
There will be over 2 dozen parts in this remastered kit coming by the end of APRIL 2011.
I have been working tirelessly for 3 weeks on this remaster. Below are a few photos showing progress:
And the reformatted master Jaw during modifications:

I'm back! Boy that was a long time without blogging...I really have been an atrocious blogger the past month (or longer!) but the truth be told, I just haven't had anything sewing related worthy of showing. Everything got really hectic this past month, especially work, and I've had so little free time. I'm hoping though that things have calmed down now and I'll have a little bit more time to focus on two of my favourite things - sewing and blogging! On the amazing side - even though I took a bit of a blogging hiatus, I managed to get a few more followers! So I'm completely touched - hello to you all and welcome.
I mentioned in a few of my other posts that I have started a sewing class. I also mentioned that although I signed up for intermediate, there was a bit of a mix up and my class has both beginners and intermediates in it. This has meant that it has gone very slowly through basic sewing techniques - and although at times that has been good (I learnt how to properly insert an invisible zip and how to sew in facings), I have very little to show for half a terms (aka semester) work....indeed this is as far as we have got:
This is our still unfinished (because I am keeping in time with everyone else in the class) little girls dress.
The back view with the invisible zip
The inside view showing the facing (black thread because you just use whatever thread they have!)
Not much to show for about 5 weeks work really is it!! Ah well, we have to pick our own pattern and bring it in to class on Monday as we are going to start on individual projects - so I'm really looking forward to that. I'm still deciding on which pattern to pick. I have quite a few summery dresses which I would like to make for next year, but then I think I would rather work on something I can wear straight away and not have to pack away for 8 months as soon as I finished it...so as I say, I'm still deciding! I'll definitely post when I make up my mind. It will be fun to see what everyone else picks as well.
On a side note, it was my (30th - eep!) birthday the other week and my lovely gorgeous wonderful boyfriend bought me an amazing digital SLR camera. I was over the moon. The reason for sharing this news - I'm hoping the photos on my blog will now be a touch more professional looking. If nothing else, it will help with taking photos on dark winter days!!!
