Ticket Prices: The Topic With Staying Power
A Flood of Responses To Lowering Ticket Prices
Monday's article on the reduced ticket price initiative at the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra has generated a great deal of private responses from professionals inside the business. More impressive than the number of responses was the sheer variety of opinions, I simply can't think of another issue here at Adaptistration which generated such an assortment […]
Gathering Support For Lower Ticket Prices At The SPCO
It's an old story, but one which has become more relevant in recent years: someone in the administration has a plan for audience development but it would initially require losses and results aren't expected for at least a few years; of course, that's assuming there are any positive results at all. So how do you […]
Lower Ticket Prices = Jail Time
There was an interesting article in the 11/23/05 edition of the L.A. Times by AP writer, Rhea Wessel, about an event which recently transpired in France. Apparently, Volker Hartung, the Cologne New Philharmonic conductor and executive administrator, was put in jail for two days while being quested over the charge that he violated French labor […]
Ticket Prices Yet Again
More On The Great Ticket Debate
It seems like the issue of ticket prices is quickly making the rounds among the usual blog suspects. I'm glad to see so many people jumping on board with the discussion, although I know some managers are sick to death of it; it's something which deserves this level of scrutiny… (more…)
It's More About Ticket Prices Than You Think
Back at the beginning of the month, Philadelphia Inquirer music critic, Peter Dobrin, published one of the best articles on classical music and orchestras I've read in the mainstream media this year. Unfortunately, it was swallowed up by the more pressing news events of Hurricane Katrina. Nevertheless, it's worth examining now… (more…)

A pupil led programme designed to improve food standards and boost healthy eating in schools is being launched this week.
Children and young people can now volunteer to become school food ambassadors and then work with their teachers and catering staff to monitor and assess the standard of food in their school and suggest ways to improve it.
Media are invited to Temple Moor High School Science College on Friday 21 January at midday. School food ambassadors will be joined by Councillor Jane Dowson, executive board member responsible for education, for the launch of the scheme. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 0113 3951577 to confirm attendance.
The launch is taking place at Temple Moor High School Science College on Friday 21 January between 12 and 1.30 and will be attended by Councillor Jane Dowson, executive board member for learning, Dirk Gilleard, deputy chief executive of education Leeds, Al Berry, a pupil from Temple Moor and member of Leeds City Council's youth council, and Adam Ayliff, the school's health and wellbeing co-ordinator.
The ambassadors will monitor the food and work with staff and the catering provider to improve quality and develop an environmentally friendly, sustainable and healthy school food service. They will lead on improving school food by representing their fellow classmates and their feedback will help influence the school's health improvement plan.
The role of school food ambassadors was developed after pilot schools found the programme empowered students, developed partnership working and promoted a shared responsibility. It is the latest programme designed to help deliver the Leeds School Meal Strategy and training for schools on how to implement it will be provided by Education Leeds.
Councillor Jane Dowson, executive board member for learning at Leeds City Council, said:
"Healthy and nutritious school meals are important for children and young people as they can help boost alertness and attention which can only help them achieve their very best.
"We are always looking at new ways to provide healthier and tastier food in our schools and these new ambassadors will ensure we are given honest and informative feedback to help us achieve this."
Dirk Gilleard, deputy chief executive of Education Leeds, said:"This unique and simple concept reflects the future vision of Leeds being a child friendly city by giving children and young people a constructive voice and the ability to help make decisions about services to help make Leeds a better place.
"The need for access to good quality school meals is very important. We are committed to encouraging more and more children and young people to eat healthily at school and school food ambassadors are a great way of helping to achieve this."
School food ambassadors were piloted in three secondary and two primary schools in Leeds and its effectiveness was independently evaluated by SWIFT research group. The research found that the trial ambassadors praised the concept and felt they had been given a voice on the subject. They recognised that school meals are important and the possibility of making positive changes to school meals - which would affect themselves and their friends - was motivating and worthwhile.
Ambassadors from Year 6 also said they looked forward to going to year 7 and would ask to be an ambassador at their new school as they saw it as an opportunity to make new friends and help their classmates settle into the new dining arrangements.

Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro Earphones Gun Metal Blue with Roadie Case
" Ok first of all I will be using my Sansa Clip as my source as I feel an iem should always be tested with portable sources. I paid $200AUD for them brand new, which is dirt-cheap by Australian standards. I do not believe in burn in, especially for armature drivers - owning and listening to many iems has shown me burn-in is just a mental phenomenon where the brain adjusts to a new sound..." --ProjectDenz
Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors
"I wonder why UERM is often disregarded when picking from $1000 range. I'm guessing that it's due to "only" having 3 drivers, versus having 8 drivers per side. I can say with confidence that driver number does not equal sound quality(for the most part). Another reason I see why UERM might not be picked is its sound sig. It's perfectly flat. Personally, I love this. Reference sound with..." --kimvictor
Phonak Audéo PFE 232
" Audeo Phonak PFE232 Let's start with comfort. I have an ear that doesn't work perfectly with the pfe232. This may be rare, but I get a lot of forward treble that is almost sibilant, but more "in your face" with instruments like cymbals. This is not normal, as I can tell it is too far unbalanced to be intended. The cymbals are so far forward I can't listen to..." --luisdent
Ultimate Ears 500
"I'm giving these a 4 based on sound quality alone. I'm a cheap headphone user; I've gone from cheap headphone to cheap headphone over the past decade or so. I started with the Skullcandy Ink'd headphones, moved onto the Sennheiser CX400s, then the Meelectronics M6 and M9, and finally, this. I've also tried the Klipsch S4's. I'm currently on my third pair of these because well, they're so damn..." --az060693
UE 11 Pro
" This is my very first pair of custom IEMs after trying almost all of the high end universal IEMs -- SE530, UE Super Fi 10, Etymotics etc. The sound of these UE11 Pros is superior in every way to all of the universal ones I had, but even more important they stay in my ear and provide a proper seal. Since my ear canals get very narrow, I found it very difficult to get any of my universals to..." --alyanm
UE 18 Pro
" I had owned the UE-10's before this for about 3 years. So upgrading to these was a huge improvement in my opinion. Very nice full sound, with improved frequency response from 20 Hz to 18,000 Hz. Bass is much more present on these but not too overly stated. Gorgeous build quality. Very happy with these In ear monitors, I also own the JH-16's and still love listening to these all the time on..." --Richard Devine
Phonak PFE 012
" I am one of the crazy guys with a bucket full of IEMs. I listen mostly to my beloved Cowon J3 because I can equalize most IEMs for a sound I like. I have an amp.

I purchased the black filters to swap with the installed green based on reviews I read but they're not really necessary but they do make a change. I'm going to make..." --drsamdc

" To start, I purchased these for two reasons. I am a live audio engineer, so I use these for mixing monitors and as my personal monitors when I sing Tenor as part of my group.

Ultimate Ears 400
"This is sort of a mini review. Overall the sound and build quality are pretty okay. I like the smooth and balanced sound signature these in-ears have. The soundstage isn't too wide or high but it's acceptable. There is sibilance on high notes but with lower volumes it's okay. Bass is not overly powerful but still leaves impact and the mids and trebles are smooth and clear. I..." --Slashfury99

"This in-ear monitors were a wonderful surprise and so I thought I would report on my first impressions after several weeks.

IT'S the highest profile sale of a quantum computer yet, although whether the system in question can outperform a classical computer is still unclear.
D-Wave of Vancouver, Canada, announced on 25 May that aerospace giant Lockheed Martin of Bethesda, Maryland, will purchase a computer system that uses one of D-Wave's "quantum annealing" processors.
Annealing is the process of finding an optimal solution from among a group of candidates. Quantum computers have long promised to make such problems easy by replacing traditional binary bits with quantum bits, or qubits. These can exist in a mixture of states known as a superposition which should allow a quantum computer to check all possible solutions from a group simultaneously, rather than going through them one by one.

Posted: June 10, 2014 at 9:07 p.m.
Updated: June 10, 2014 at 9:20 p.m.
Leslie Rutledge has won the Republican nomination for attorney general in Tuesday's runoff election.
The Associated Press called the race for Rutledge over opponent David Sterling at 9:04 p.m. She was leading 36,475-25,557 with 51 percent of the votes in at 9:20 p.m.
Rutledge, a former attorney for Gov. Mike Huckabee and the Republican National Committee, won three weeks after falling short of winning the primary outright over Sterling and third-place finisher Patricia Nation.
She finished with 47 percent of the vote in that contest to Sterling's 39 percent, necessitating the only statewide runoff race Tuesday. Nation later endorsed Rutledge.
The race leading up to the runoff between the two Republicans was marked by a series of negative ads. Rutledge on Tuesday said Sterling's refusal to denounce an outside group's advertising that likened her to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi was "dishonest." Sterling, meanwhile, accused Rutledge of running "nasty attacks" on his character, including saying he took money from the pornography industry by representing an Arkansas lingerie store in a 2009 lawsuit.
Rutledge will face Democratic nominee state Rep. Nate Steel of Nashville and Libertarian nominee Aaron Cash in November.

If I had learned this somewhere along the way, I certainly didn't retain it in my sieve-like noggin. Just went out to the garage to look at my spools and as far as I can tell EVERYTHING I've been using on my bikes for the past 5 years is AWG!
I've never had a wiring related failure on a bike, but maybe I've just been lucky. Anyways, I think I'll head on down to West Marine next week to lay in a stock of SAE or Marine Grade spools and toss the junk I have in the trash. And I might buy a new stripper too!
Thanks for the schooling, XL! And BTW, I took your advice from earlier in this thread to buy a quality butane powered soldering iron to replace my POS electric one. Haven't tried it out yet, but at least I got it. Guess I better start shopping for some higher quality solder while I'm at it.
As Davebig likes to say, will it ever end?

The omni-directional signal antenna receives signals from multiple cell towers.Before installing, please note the following important factors in determining your zBoost performance: * At least 15 vertical feet is needed between the Signal Antenna (receives the outside signal) and the Panel Antenna (rebroadcasts the signal indoors). Separation less than 15 vertical feet will result in decreased performance. See illustration below. * Keep the Signal Antenna at least 3 feet above any metalFIRST: Mount the Signal Antenna. Choose a location for the Signal Antenna using your cell phone to determine the area of strongest signal.Choose a location for the Signal Antenna using your cell phone to determine the area of strongest signal - typically found outside, above the roofline or in an attic. The antenna must also remain at least 3 feet from any metal. Keep in mind that the coverage zBoost provides is largely determined by the quality of signal received by the Signal Antenna. If your best signal is one bar, your coverage will be limited to one small room.SECOND: Install the Base Unit and Panel Antenna.The Base Unit can be easily mounted on a wall by first removing the orange bracket from the Base Unit and using the provided mounting hardware to affix to wall. Connect the Indoor Panel Antenna to the Base Unit using the provided 10' RG-8 coax.The Panel Antenna should be mounted on a wall facing the direction where increased coverage is desired. Note that signal is broadcasted in a beamwidth of 70° horizontally and 60° vertically from the front of the Panel Antenna. Keep the Panel Antenna off floor and at least 3 feet away from other cords, metal objects or other wireless devices such as wireless routers or wireless access points.The zBoost Xtreme performs best when there are no obstructions between the Panel Antenna and your mobile device. The zBoost SOHO Xtreme requires at least 15 feet of vertical separation between the Panel and Signal Antennas. Generally, increasing this distance (up to 40 feet) will increase the performance and decreasing the distance will limit zBoost performance.THIRD: Run the provided coaxial cable between the Base Unit and Signal Antenna.Use the provided 50 feet of RG-6 cable to connect the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit. Should you need additional cable length, 15 foot extensions (Part #: YX030-15w) are available at www.Wi-Ex.com. Please note: Cable longer than 65 feet is not recommended.FOURTH: Connect the zBoost Base Unit to the provided power supply and plug into a power outlet.When your zBoost system is in place and fully connected, walk throughout your home or office and verify that you are able to reliably place calls. If the signal strength has improved, your zBoost is working. Remember, coverage varies based on outdoor signal level, building construction, and antenna placement. Coverage in adjoining rooms (next to, above, or below) will be reduced by walls and ceiling/floors.Upon initial power up, a solid GREEN LED should appear indicating normal conditions. If a RED light appears, adjustments may be needed to optimize performance. If you find the increased signal coverage is acceptable, however, no additional adjustments are needed. See LED Indicator section for more information.Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:Relocate the Signal Antenna in order to capture a better signal –higher is usually better.Increase the distance between the Base Unit Antenna and the Signal Antenna.Call us!

Indications emerged, yesterday, that the National Assembly (NASS) might jettison the review of the 1999 Constitution as a result of the row that has rocked two issues on agenda: state creation and local government autonomy.
Sunday Vanguard learnt from authoritative sources that the leadership of the NASS was split over state creation although they were united on local government autonomy.
Most of the 36 governors on the other hand, who control the lawmakers directly and remotely, are said to be vehemently opposed to any amendment that would give independence to the third tier of government, whose resources they are believed to be feasting on under a dubious 'joint account' policy.
It was learnt that of the Senate President, Senaor David Mark, his deputy,Senator Ike Ekweremadu and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, were in support of state creation while the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, was not in a hurry for the exercise.
The decision to dump the review, which had progressed up to the collation of reports garnered from the 360 federal constituencies of the country, became obvious following threats from most northern lawmakers that the North would be short changed if the exercise sailed through.
They said they were not in support of state creation and that the result of the public sessions and the online voting by Nigerians on the various aspects of the constitution should not be presented to the NASS.
Consequently, it was gathered that the leadership of the parliament might throw away the review of the constitution along with the state creation just as the 5th National Assembly threw away the review because of the Third Term agenda allegedly spearheaded by former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his loyalists.
Some lawmakers had accused the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and his House of Representatives colleague, Emeka Ihedioha, of manipulating the outcome of the public sessions to favour state creation so that the South-East, to which they belong, would be favoured with one.
Sunday Vanguard learnt that it was based on the suspicion of manipulation raised by northern lawmakers against the two top-ranking lawmakers from the South-East that Tambuwal foiled the public presentation of the report, which the duo had hoped to use and convince the leadership to go for state creation.
Trouble reportedly started when the House Speaker ordered Ihedioha to stand down the presentation even after the dignitaries invited to grace the occasion had already assembled for the event.
Tambuwal, it was gathered, had come under immense pressure from northern lawmakers to cancel the session which, they claimed, had been programmed to promote an "Igbo Agenda " to their detriment.
"It was due to this reason that the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, who was supposed to chair the occasion, refused to show up," a lawmaker said.
An uncomfortable House Speaker was said to have threatened to call off the entire exercise if Ihedioha insisted on going ahead with the presentation. Ihedioha complied and apologised to the guests to disperse until further notice.
The source, who is close to the leadership of the NASS, claimed that, contrary to allegation that the two men doctored the report to favour state creation, Nigerians actually voted for more states and that the results clearly established that.
The lawmaker, who hails from one of the Niger Delta states, challenged Tambuwal and his group to allow Ekweremadu and Ihedioha to present the report in its present form for Nigerians to see who was speaking the truth on the matter.
But, last night, Ekweremadu defended his work, saying he had not committed any infraction to warrant any accusation by any individual or group.
The Deputy Senate President said there was no way the issue of state creation or any other matter relating to the Nigerian constitution could be treated in isolation, as the committee's report had not even been presented to the Senate for adoption and discussion.
He spoke to Sunday Vanguard through his Special Adviser on Media, Uche Anichukwu. According to him, the Joint Committee of National Assembly on Constitution Review no longer exists but that the two chambers would harmonise their positions.
Anichukwu noted, "Contrary to insinuations, the committee has been working smoothly, thoroughly, transparently, and patriotically as a team and with the whole nation, the nation's democracy, and posterity at heart.
A close aide to Ihedioha, on the other hand, defended the Imo State-born politician, saying he had given his all to ensure the success of the exercise in the interest of the nation and its people as a patriotic Nigerian leader.
The aide went on: "The Peoples Public Sessions initiative" adopted by the deputy speaker and his team remains the most inclusive approach to constitution making in the history of Nigeria so far and he should be commended instead of being accused of doctoring the outcome of a transparent process.
"Credit for the initiative and the smooth-sailing of the process thus far cannot be denied the committee on constitution review of the House.
"Such openness, transparency and accountability of the process make it immune from manipulation from any quarters and the so-called allegations of 'doctoring' could not be substantiated when those who alleged were confronted to substantiate.
"The committee leadership did not at any time meet with any interest or pressure group with the motive of influencing the outcome of the report."
Meanwhile, the postponement of the public presentation of the report has sparked off protests from representatives of students, civil society groups and other stakeholders who fear that Nigerians have, once again, been deceived by politicians in the guise of constitution review after spending a huge chunk of public funds on the exercise.
Among the stakeholders, who are aggrieved over the development, are National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS; and Alliance for Credible Elections, ACE.
National President of NANS, Yinka Gbadebo; Deputy President of ACE, Asuzu Echezona; and a representative of Persons with Disability Society of Nigeria, Augustine Onwuamaegbu, in separate interviews, described the postponement of the collation of the constitution review report as "an attempt to truncate our democracy and subvert the will of the people of Nigeria."
Gbadebo noted, "This is another attempt by the House to subvert the wishes and aspirations of the people expressly captured at the 360 constituencies of this country at the peoples' public session just to satisfy the interest of a certain segment of the society".
He stated that all issues relating to local government autonomy and autonomy of state Houses of Assembly, canvassed at the 'Peoples' Public Sessions' and opposed by the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, as non-negotiable issues, would be resisted by the students even as he argued that the cancellation was an attempt to satisfy an interest group by the law-makers.
It will be recalled that the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has consistently opposed the review of the constitution and the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) presently before the National Assembly on the grounds that they were a South-East agenda.
There were however reports last night that the leadership of the National Assembly might meet this week to harmonise their various positions and interests with a view to reviving the review of the constitution. But a female lawmaker from the South-South doubted the ability of the leadership to review the constitution particularly because President Goodluck Jonathan has neither shown interest in any area of the document nor "lobbied" the lawmakers, as his predecessors allegedly used to do with huge gratification.

Cinque Terre to Interlaken Ost
Hello, We are starting to tie up all the loose ends for our upcoming trip in May. Our last stay in Italy will be the Cinque Terre, and we are then going to Interlaken (staying in Wilderswil) to explore the Berner Oberland. Larry was very kind to give me some tips early on about how to get from the CT to Interlaken, and I was looking at Trenitalia today trying to figure out if it's better to buy tickets now or wait until we get there. Any thoughts? We are a family of 5 and so can also use the Familia discount where that's cheaper. We will be buying a Swiss Flexi pass, and on Trenitalia, you can tell them you have the pass, but they also want the pass number. On SBB, I couldn't even make a reservation. Because I'll have the pass, is it better to wait? Should we get tickets from La Spezia to Milan now and then buy the next leg when we get there? We weren't planning on buying the Swiss Passes quite yet but within the next few weeks. Maybe we need to buy now and have the numbers for Trenitalia. Hummmm...so many questions, so I apologize. Larry really was quite helpful, but the devil is in the details! Many thanks for all your help!

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey Attorney General David Samson agreed yesterday to accept New York's $100 million settlement with Merrill Lynch & Co., leaving Missouri and Arizona as the only states that haven't signed on to the agreement.
The settlement, brokered in May by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, calls for Merrill to pay $1.4 million to New Jersey to resolve charges that the biggest securities firm by capital misled investors with stock reports tainted by investment banking ties. The agreement requires all 50 U.S. states to agree to Spitzer's settlement before Merrill makes any payment.

No unwelcome tasks become any the less unwelcome by putting them off till tomorrow. It is only when they are behind us and done, that we begin to find that there is a sweetness to be tasted afterwards, and that the remembrance of unwelcome duties unhesitatingly done is welcome and pleasant. Accomplished, they are full of blessing, and there is a smile on their faces as they leave us. Undone, they stand threatening and disturbing our tranquility, and hindering our communion with God. If there be lying before you any bit of work from which you shrink, go straight up to it, and do it at once. The only way to get rid of it is to do it.
-Alexander MacLaren (1826–1910), Scottish preacher
The Gospel would not be good news if it did not reveal the glory of Christ for us to see and savor. It is the glory of Christ that finally satisfies our soul. We are made for Christ, and Christ died so that every obstacle would be removed that keeps us from seeing and savoring the most satisfying TREASURE in the universe—namely, Christ, who is the image of God.
-John Piper, God is the Gospel, p. 62.
God is glorified not only by His glory's being seen, but by its being rejoiced in. When those that see it delight in it, God is more glorified than if they only see it. His glory is then received by the whole soul, both by the understanding and by the heart. God made the world that He might communicate, and the creature receive, His glory; and that it might [be] received both by the mind and heart. He that testifies his idea of God's glory [doesn't] glorify God so much as he that testifies also his…delight in it.
Father sat down on the edge of the narrow bed. "Corrie," he began gently, "when you go to Amsterdam, when do I give you your ticket?"
I sniffed a few times, considering this.
"Why, just before we get on the train."
Exactly. And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things, too. Don't run ahead of Him, Corrie."
Right now Matthew Wassink is preparing for a Greek final, studying the book of Acts and the Pauline epistles, and finishing up a research paper on Spirit baptism. The 10-month Pastors College program is coming to an end, and graduation is only days away. But the academic rigors and deadlines are nothing new for Matthew, who graduated from seminary in 2008.
At our recent conference Matthew walked through his Pastors College experience to explain a few of the ways he and his wife have benefitted over the past several months.
Along the way Matthew shared his path into Sovereign Grace Ministries and the evaluation process that preceded the PC. Matthew's entire story is marked by humility, trust in God, and faith for the future. His experience is a moving testimony about the difference the Pastors College makes.

Ian McConnell grew up in North Philadelphia, the oldest of six boys in a "rough-around-the-collar" Irish-Catholic family. Today, by God's grace, Ian is an urban church planter and the lead pastor of Grace Bible Church in Philadelphia. On July 5, Grace Bible Church will celebrate their adoption into the Sovereign Grace family of churches.
At our 2009 Pastors Conference, Ian shared his passion for urban church planting and told the story of his path into Sovereign Grace. You can listen to the 14-minute audio clip here:

I was a pastor who was weary in the ministry and skeptical about church associations and networks, having been closely associated with a few and having given up on them. However, to my surprise, in Sovereign Grace I found men who were genuinely interested in me as a pastor, not the size of my church, or getting my church's name on a list.
Hearing updates from various pastors was a personal highlight at our recent Pastors Conference. Over the next few days I will have the privilege to share these testimonies with you.
Among these men was Wolfgang Wegert, senior pastor of Arche Church in Hamburg, Germany. In his update, Wolfgang highlighted a recent trip by Dave Harvey, Jeff Purswell, and Pete Greasley to Hamburg as Sovereign Grace considers how to best serve the Arche Church and the region of central Europe.
But I was unprepared for the concluding words of Wolfgang's update. The concluding words are the words of a humble man. And his update left me humbled and deeply affected.

Everything about watching a Formula 1 race in the metal is all that you could want from a motor sport event. The noise, the feeling, the smells, the fans, the atmosphere… it's just the best. Apart from one thing: after the first round of stops, you've no idea what the hell's going on.
Yes, if you've shelled out for one of those Koala Bear tellys, or you're in a box or one of the garages or watching it on TV in your motorhome, then you know what's happening. But if you're in a grandstand, then it's hard to keep track of everyone.
You know who's in the lead, and you have some idea of the top runners, but it's very easy to lose touch with who's exactly where. Especially when the cars are spinning off as much as they were today.
So how about this: LEDs.
At Le Mans, the cars all have three lights on each of their sides. The class leader has one light lit, 2nd place has two and 3rd has three, so you know who's where.
So let's do it with Formula 1 too, only as it's the best of the best, why not cover the whole field?
The cars could each have a small cluster of LEDs just behind the airbox, or some such, that then displayed the position number that each driver's in.
They could even have the bad weather lights at the back showing the position too – constantly on if the weather's good, flashing if not – so drivers coming up on a car would know what they've got to gain by overtaking the car in front.
It would be a little extra donkey/carrot type incentive when a driver saw a flashing 1 on a car six seconds up the road.
LED numbers should be easy to make happen for some of the brightest brain boxes on earth, and we the punters would all know exactly who was where on track at any given time, just from a quick glance at the car we were interested in.
Obviously, this is just an idea I've had, so if you don't like it, then suggest some of your own. Who knows, if we make enough noise, maybe Bernie and Max will listen?
The paying punters get over looked too often in this game…

IPhones, iPads, Androids and other handheld devices that use apps seem to be popping up everywhere, with companies constantly pumping out newer versions with innovative capabilities. Rexford neighbors Ken Malsan and Bryan O'Malley were eager to get in on the smart phone craze, and now they're smack dab in the middle of it with their game application that officially released on Nov. 1 and is available for use with iPhone, iTouch and iPad.
Cohabit is a game similar to Sudoku, but with a twist, challenging players to fill in a single board with numbers and colors without repeating any of them in the same column or row.
"I had about six game ideas this was one we both liked because it's sort of unique. It was something that Sudoku players would like and had an addictive nature to it," said Malsan.
Malsan said O'Malley mentioned to him that he was looking to get into the apps business and could use his web development company Avexa to make that happen. Malsan told his neighbor that he'd brainstorm some ideas.
"I was trying to see if I could layer two Sudokus on top of each other and that's sort of where the idea came up. Is it possible to do something like that? I started with a three-by-three grid, and once I got that to work, I kept going up until I reached seven-by-seven, which is where we stopped," said Malsan. "I love puzzles. I grew up in a game family playing a lot of games and puzzles, so this was a natural extension of that for me."
Once they had a concept, Malsan said the next step was to actually generate games with the proper quality controls and a scoring system.
"We needed it to be solveable without guessing. You can solve it without taking a hint because it's a puzzle, not a guessing game," said Malsan, who said he and O'Malley split up the labor, with him focusing on the game-aspect and O'Malley taking the reins on the design and development process. "It was hundreds of hours. We did a lot of nights of getting together while the kids were playing on the swing sets."

By Jonathan Stanley, J.D.
Assistant Director, Treatment Advocacy Center
The Treatment Advocacy Center commends NAMI-NM, and particularly NAMI Albuquerque, for spearheading efforts to bring assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) to New Mexico. AOT is court-ordered treatment delivered in the community that can bring intensive and consistent care to individuals overwhelmed by severe psychiatric illnesses, people incapable of accessing and maintaining voluntary treatment. New Mexico will be the 43rd state with AOT if it adopts the proposed measure, which is modeled on New York's stunningly successful Kendra's Law.
AOT would not cure all the ills of the New Mexico mental health system, nor does it call for a drastic reconfiguration of that system. AOT is instead specifically designed to bring treatment only to a small segment of those most affected by a severe mental illness; it is a last resort. Adjusting for the differences in populations, there would only be about 75 initial AOT orders issued each year should New Mexico make as extensive use of the program as does New York. At the same time, AOT can bring sustained treatment to some of those most at risk because of their illnesses; individuals whose inconsistent care now results in repetitive hospitalizations that seriously deplete New Mexico's mental health resources.
I assess any AOT proposal from an admittedly selfish perspective because I have bipolar illness with psychotic features. I have been involuntary placed in treatment. It saved my life but was also one of the worst experiences of my life; I would never want to repeat the experience unless there was no other viable option.
Any AOT law should have eligibility criteria that target only those for whom it is absolutely necessary, as well as safeguards against the law being mistakenly used on someone who does not meet those criteria. The AOT proposal that NAMI-NM supports meets both of these requirements.
In order for someone to be placed in AOT, a judge would have to find both that voluntary treatment is not an option and that there is no less restrictive option for the person's care. The person would also have to be unlikely to survive safely in the community and likely to eventually cause serious harm to self or others without the court-ordered outpatient care.
People meeting that standard are simply incapable of maintaining their own treatment. The choice thus becomes insisting on needed care for people in such a condition or abandoning them to the untreated and unchecked symptoms of their illnesses. We either allow the disease to control the person or we do not. Having been that sick, there is no doubt in my mind what should be done if I was again.
I am also pleased with the stringent consumer protections in the New Mexico proposal. AOT could only be ordered in a formal court hearing preceded by notice of that hearing to the consumer, who would be represented by counsel at all stages of the proceeding. The consumer would also have the opportunity to actively participate in creating the treatment plan that is the basis of the court's order. The initial AOT order would be for a six-month period, and any renewals would have to be approved in a hearing in which the person is again shown to meet that narrow eligibility standard. A person in AOT could also ask the supervising court to stay, vacate, or modify the order at any time.
I particularly like that anyone who makes a false statement or provides false information or testimony in an attempt to get someone in AOT is subject to criminal prosecution. Although the abuse of such a law is rare, it should be punished and deterred.
I cannot recommend the proposal more than to wish that it or something similar would be in place to release me from the grip of my symptoms should I ever again become lost to them.

Enclosed for your review is the latest issue of the New York Fed's Second District Highlights: New York-New Jersey Region's Job Growth to Continue in 1999, but Risks Have Risen.
Some 145,000 new jobs will be created in the region during 1999, a growth rate of 1.2 percent, according to authors James Orr, a research officer in the Bank's Domestic Research area, and Rae D. Rosen, a senior economist in the Bank's Public Information area.
Orr and Rosen expect 1998 job growth to be 1.7 percent, or slightly more than 200,000 new jobs--continuing the regional recovery that began in late 1992.
A possible slowdown in the national economy combined with reductions in financial services industry activity in New York City will contribute to the decline in employment growth expected in 1999.
Orr and Rosen's 1999 forecast also indicates that:

Medical Provider Financial Corp Lawsuit to Recover Losses

Medical Provider Financial Corp II
Medical Provider Financial Corp III
Medical Provider Financial Corp IV
Medical Provider Financial Corp IV – Series II
Medical Provider Financial Corp V

Medical Capital class action against Hantz Financial
According to reports, Hantz Financial is still contending with the fallout from Medical Capital, the $2.2 billion Ponzi scheme built on shaky medical receivable that the Securities and Exchange Commission shut down in July 2009. These reports indicate that Hantz Financial Services Inc. is still facing the potential of class action lawsuit over the sale of the notes and that a judge in Oakland County could soon decide on what could be a final attempt to certify the class of investors.
If the class is certified, it appears that the class has a little more than $20 million in combined damages against the firm.
Hantz Financial is a mid-sized brokerage firm based in Michigan that has 260 affiliated financial advisers.
It would appear that the class investors are attempting to hold Hantz Financial responsible for its due diligence requirements. Brokerage firms and financial advisors have a fiduciary duty to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that such recommendations are appropriate for their client in light of that particular clients' age, income, investment experience, investment objectives, and net worth.
Investors in Medical Capital could also attempt to recover their losses with a FINRA arbitration claim. The White Law Group has represented numerous Medical Capital investors in claims against the brokerage firm that recommended the investment.
To speak with a securities attorney experienced in Medical Capital related claims, please call The White Law Group at 312/239-9650 for a free consultation.

More Fall Out Relating to Medical Capital
According to the Investment News, a former stockbroker in Colorado has been criminally charged with securities fraud for selling Medical Capital notes. The nine counts of securities fraud filed last Thursday by the Weld County District Attorney's Office against John Brady Guyette are believed to be the first such charges against a broker stemming from the collapse of Medical Capital Holdings Inc.
Medical Capital was a medical receivables firm that raised $2.2 billion from investors from 2003 to 2008 and allegedly operated as a Ponzi scheme. The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Medical Capital and its two founders, CEO Sidney Field and president Joseph Lampariello, with fraud in July 2008, but the SEC brings only civil claims.
According to the Weld County complaint and information, Mr. Guyette sold $1.3 million of MedCap notes to eight investors between August and December 2008. During that time, Medical Capital was beginning to unravel and had missed some payments to investors in previous note offerings.
At the center of the Weld County complaint against Mr. Guyette is the allegation that he sold Medical Capital notes to investors after the company began having trouble making payments to some investors.
The nine securities fraud charges include allegations of untrue statements or omissions by Mr. Guyette.
Dozens of broker-dealers with independent-contractor representatives sold the Medical Capital notes and The White Law Group continues to review the liability that financial professionals and broker-dealers have for such sales.
Brokerage firms have a fiduciary duty to perform due diligence on any investment before offering it for sale to its clients. Obviously, given what is known now about Medical Capital it appears clear that the firms that sold Medical Capital failed to perform the necessary due diligence on the investment.
If you have questions about a medical capital investment, contact the securities attorneys of The White Law Group for a free consultation.
