Pure AM vs. Pure Acquisitions vs. A little of bothPE
The consensus is that acquisitions, from a pay and exit op standpoint, is superior to asset management.
Ceteris paribus, wouldn't the best be a little of both (more eat what you kill style)? What do you think would be a good mix?
70% AM / 30% acquisitions sounds about right to me.
It seems most people exit to the VP/principal level at large (5B+) funds where they have the eat what you kill style shop rather than 100% splitting acquisitions and asset management. Would the exit ops be superior and more diverse with experience on both sides? Can you really get a top acquisitions gig without proving yourself on the AM side at some point?
From a fundamental standpoint?
From a fundamental standpoint it should be necessary to understand the firm's strategy and implementation (though AM) in order to be successful in Acquisitions. To me, it seems that just because a deal may look good (pricing wise) does not mean it will work out. You need to be able to understand how that deal will be followed through over the life of the hold and whether it fits with the fund's/firm's objectives. At the the same time I think if you are a good fit and have the right skills you can land a good gig at a top shop.
Can you explain what you mean?
Can you explain what you mean by an "eat what you kill" style shop? That sounds like fun to me, but all I have ever found on the buyside is that it feels very institutional and boring all of the time.
And yes, many people at the top of acquisitions teams at the institutions are former acquisitions only people or even former investment bankers/brokers. Most funds will have it integrated enough so that the acquisitions team needs sign off and approval from the AM side, so you learn to know what they will be agreeable to. Acquisitions people are deal guys, not asset management. It is a very different mindset and there needs to be a little bit of a chinese wall in my mind, especially if the AM team is using discretionary money.
Also, you get them to sign off on all of the leasing, inflation, accounting and tenants assumptions.

Long Shadows
Tompall And The
Glaser Brothers
The last media reference I've seen to TP&TheGBs was that a reunion opportunity for them to sing at Hank Snow's funeral was declined. Their contributions have been too numerous to let a negative tone dominate. Personal relationships aside, Tompall, Jim, and Chuck Glaser individually and collectively brought energy and innovation into the Nashville music community that will reverberate far longer than many of the current crescendos.
To start with, they were born in Nebraska, not exactly a hot spot for spawning country stars. Their midwestern vocal timbre brought a flavor to the family harmony tradition that was refreshing, immediately identifiable, and rather amazing in its texture. There were no slam bang hit records that turned the music business upside down like a "Four Walls" or "Send Me The Pillow You Dream On," but their recordings were solid -- my strongest "first career" memories include "A Girl Like You," "Gone On The Other Hand," "Rings," and "Through The Eyes Of Love." The momentum allowed them to develop a stage show that stands out in the memory of anyone who got to see it.
Considering that the Glasers won CMA's Vocal Group Of The Year in 1970, the calibre of recordings with such legendary producers as Owen Bradley and Jack Clement, and the massive presence they maintained for a long time, it's amazing that their only number one single was 1981's "Loving Her Was Easier," recorded and released after their high profile split and low-key reunion over the few previous years.
So much for the authenticity of the charts' commentary on a career -- another chart oddity: the highest position attained by Glen Campbell's cut of "Gentle On My Mind" (another facet of the Glaser story) was number eight. Try to figure that out!!
Well, there is a monster hit record that the brothers are associated with vocally. "El Paso," of course, but what you see in print about that association is not always entirely accurate. Here's the story as per Jim: early, early on the Marty Robbins hired the Glaser Brothers as part of his show and they traveled in two or three station wagons, three people per vehicle.
Marty, Jim, and Bobby Sikes rode together and Marty's big passion was for cowboy songs, so the three of them sang a lot of cowboy songs on the road, including an occasional new one that Marty wrote. It ttok a while to learn "El Paso," but there had been so much time put into it on the road that there was no question of changing the harmony structure, which was Jim Glaser and Bobby Sykes -- not Tompall and the Glaser Brothers. Within a similar context, a lifetime or two later, I got my first visit to The Internet; my sister-in-law, Nancy, thought I would enjoy a country music-themed chat room. The first question that popped up was "Who had the record, 'Put Another Log On The Fire'?" I stayed out of it, but an answer came quickly: "Tompall and the Glaser Brothers." Actually, of course, it was just Tompall, on the Wanted: The Outlaws album with the Nelson guy and Shooter Jennings' folks, but legends do have a way of establishing their own statistics.
As much as I have loved the music of the Glaser Brothers for a huge chunk of my life, their even-bigger impact on me and the industry took place between road trips in that office upstairs from where the Wilburn Brothers were at that time.
My best show and tell for Nashville in the '60s 101: I ran into Luther Perkins one day in the alley and asked if I could show him some songs, hoping for a Johnny Cash cut. He invited me to his office, listened to my stuff, and asked if I knew Chuck Glaser. At the moment, I didn't, but on Luther's suggestion, I did before the day was over. The songs responsible for the referral never developed into cuts, but a crazy little thing called "Yellow" got on the second Leroy Pullins album and my hanging out with Uncle Chuck, Jim, Jimmy Payne, John Hartford, Bobby Thompson, Paul Craft, Sammi Smith, and the proverbial many others was the kind of music business graduate school Harvard MBAs would love to have access to.
The success of "Gentle On My Mind" was a mixed blessing for me as a writer for Glaser Publications -- the incredible activity was educational, yet it unquestionably channeled energy away from some of us. Would I do it again, knowing that my "big hit" wouldn't happen? Absolutely, and I'd bring all of my best friends along for the ride -- that was one of the truly unique situations in the history of the entertainment industry, and I got to watch every bit, with free coffee. Mac Wiseman has often preached the need of putting something back as we take and there are many who share that philosophy and practice. Among them, I feel a special depth of gratitude for Tompall, Chuck, and Jim Glaser, who provided me a place to be and a role to play when I had no idea of where I was going.

Video: Inside the 2012 Ophel Excavations
Posted By Biblical Archaeology Society Staff On January 15, 2013 @ 11:22 am In Archaeologists, Biblical Scholars & Works,Jerusalem | 4 Comments
The Ophel in Jerusalem sits at the heart of Biblical archaeology. The site's rich research history stretches back to Charles Warren in the 1860s, and the Ophel continues to yield incredible discoveries to this day. The most recent Ophel excavation season, directed by Dr. Eilat Mazar, wrapped up on December 31, 2012, and archaeologists with the Herbert W. Armstrong College produced the following video on their informative website, The Key to David's City [1]. Watch the excavation in action! Examine a three thousand year old fire pit with supervisor Amir Kohen Klonymus, hear from the excavators, sponsors and their families, and find out about the hard work and exciting discoveries made in 2012 directly from Dr. Eilat Mazar.

Wow! I can't believe Valentine's Day and the CAPA Awards party are winding down. Congratulations to all the CAPA nominees and winners!
I also want to say thank you to everyone who has made a comment on my posts. I so much appreciate your support, and will be contacting each of you about a download of one of my Halo Legacy Series books. You are all winners!
And now I'm going to wrap up my party posts with a sneak peak from my March 1 release, SHADOW OF THE LEGACY, book #7 of my Halo Legacy Series. Johnny is an easy-going cop whose career falls under a shadow of suspicion when a letter from his dead father confesses to having a hand in a woman's death. When he returns to his hometown to find the truth, he discovers love with a woman who fiercely covets her independence and becomes the target of a killer determined to keep the secrets of the past.
Rochelle closed her eyes and drew a deep breath, then moved into her warm-up routine. She hadn't had the time to do any kick-boxing for awhile, but already her body hummed in anticipation of the challenge.
Johnny was not her opponent, but the cancer that had invaded her body. No battle was more important than this one. No prize more vital: her life.
Her first moves were simple. A few easy punches before she bobbed and danced away, though there was no need for defense as Johnny threw no punches. If only the disease was as yielding. Instead it had snuck up and attacked without warning. Rochelle jabbed with her right hand and followed with a punch from her left.
Adrenaline pumped through Rochelle's body as the familiar moves flexed and worked her muscles, and brought a smile to her face. Then she lifted first one knee and the other, followed by a series of alternating punches. Right, left, right.
Rochelle drew a deep breath and blew it out, already feeling winded less than ten minutes into sparring and hating that weakness.
She pushed herself to throw the momentum of her body into a right cross, then spun around to deliver a one-two kick before bouncing away on the balls of her feet.
She moved toward Johnny again, throwing another flurry of kicks and punches, feeling the heat in her body and fighting the fatigue slowly creeping over her.
"Let's take a break." Johnny caught her in a clinch.
Rochelle shook her head and moved away, throwing another right hook that fell wide of Johnny's head.
A vision of the damning spots in the x-rays filled her head, and Rochelle delivered another combination of kicks to Johnny's mid-section. In her mind, the lumps dissolved a little more each time she made contact.
She threw a knee, followed by a side-kick, and another spot disappeared from her mind's eye. Rabbit punches with her right hand eliminated a few more.
Rochelle kicked and punched until the vision in her head was clear of spots and fatigue was claiming her body, sapping her energy as it spread from her arms, down her torso, and turned her feet to leaden weights. She fell against Johnny in a clinch, and he supported her as her body went limp. Spent and sweaty, Rochelle surrendered to the exhaustion claiming her.
Happy Valentine's Day, and don't forget to love yourselves!
I'm celebrating the new covers of my Halo Legacy Series and the new price of $1.99 each. You can see these new covers as well as read excerpts from all of my books on my Web site <www.GenieGabriel.com>.
You can also take advantage of the special February sale price of 99 cents for CHASING RAINBOWS, a Valentine's Day novella.

Early voting rules? Updated!August 8, 2012
Just completed a substantive refresh of our early voting page (we define early voting as any voting done in person before election day). Woot.
I gotta say, no matter how many times I come across it, I really can't get over how different each state is. Not just their laws, but also how (or whether) they choose to present information to the public.
Take Arizona. You'd think they'd say somewhere on the Secretary of State's website that voters can vote in-person at their county elections offices starting 26 days before the election without needing an excuse. You'd think. But you'd be wrong. You have to dig through mountains of election code to find any mention of in-person early voting procedures (which changed some time in the last year or so — it used to be 33 days before the election).
South and North Dakota? Same deal. They offer in-person early voting. I know they do. But from the look of their websites, they sure don't know they do.
I suppose this is why we exist, but come on guys. It's a pretty useful piece of information. Just. Mention. It.

Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy is back in camp after flying to New York yesterday to be examined by team doctors for what was being diagnosed as a strained intercostal muscle. Adam Rubin of ESPN New York confirmed through a second source that Murphy received a cortisone shot and that the diagnosis "was consistent" with the intercostal strain. Rubin speculates that Murphy would be sidelined for about seven to ten days before returning to regular baseball activities. Sounds like good news. No bowling for you this weekend, Murph…. Original Post 2/19 According to Marc Carig of Newsday via Twitter, second baseman Daniel Murphy felt soreness while working out in the batting cage today, and manager Terry Collins says he will be flying to New York City tomorrow for x-rays and further testing. Mets GM Sandy Alderson said it is likely an intercostal injury and that he will be out of action for a week.

On the rare occasions when Georges Alain is asked to list his occupation, he simply writes, "Dilettante." Years ago, he was more comfortable describing his occupation as "surrealist," but for as long as I've known him, more than twenty years, he has stuck with "dilettante."
In that time, he has published books of his poetry, exhibited paintings and sculptures, produced albums of Madagascan guitar music, designed wine labels for a vineyard near his home in Saint Cyprien, in southwest France, and set up a small and cheerfully primitive recording studio in an old, abandoned schoolhouse outside of Belves.
Some years ago, when I wanted to record in the studio, he offered to let me work there for free if I agreed to dream only in French for the week preceding and the week following the sessions. The contract he presented me was very formal, fourteen pages long, and required multiple signatures.
"What about the week of the sessions?" I asked before signing.
"I don't want to interfere with your process," he shrugged. "Though, if you wish…"
It should be no surprise that Georges Alain's endeavors have gained him more friends than money, although he received a remarkable number of donations when, in 1999, he waged a brief campaign to have coq au vin declared France's national bird.
In early July, Georges Alain suffered a stroke, the result of elevated blood pressure and, perhaps, an over familiarity with the national bird of his choice. He fell into a coma, and as the days went by, the situation grew more unsettling and hopes for his recovery grew dim.
A few days ago, after being unconscious for more than two weeks, he opened his eyes. He was in a hospital in Limoges surrounded by family and friends. There were tubes everywhere, heart monitors, trays with knives and needles, tanks with oxygen. Something on the wall beeped every thirty seconds. The lights were too bright. His left side was paralyzed, and he could not speak. Nothing made sense.
As the situation became clearer, he looked around the room and motioned for a pen and paper. Slowly, laboriously, he wrote out one sentence that put everything into perspective.
"Je suis."

Griquas vs WP In Vodacom Cup Final
GWK Griquas will host Western Province in their first Vodacom Cup final in Kimberley after the two top sides from the North and South Sections won their semi-finals this weekend.
The two best sides in the competition deservedly advanced to the final. Western Province have not lost once this season, while Griquas - along with the Golden Lions the most successful Vodacom Cup side ever with four titles each - only lost one game in the league phase.
Griquas advanced to their seventh Vodacom Cup final when they were simply too good for the Blue Bulls in Kimberley on Friday, winning the first semi-final by 30-17.
It was only the second time in 11 Vodacom Cup semi-final appearances that the Blue Bulls lost, but this time they simply could not get going.
Despite dominating territory and possession in the first half, the visitors were still behind at the break, by 15-5, as Griquas made better use of their opportunities, Leon Karemaker and Rocco Jansen scoring tries.
The home side were supreme in the scrums and also defended very well. The Blue Bulls pulled back late in the first half when Sampie Mastriet scored, but then went further behind again when their former team-mate Francois Brummer crossed the chalk.
Midway through the second half, Jan Serfontein and Daniel Adongo scored to close the gap and set up a thrilling end to see the Blue Bulls behind by only 17-22 with a couple of minutes to play, but Griquas kept their composure and sealed the win at the death when Jean Stemmet scored their fourth try.
On Saturday, Western Province beat the Pumas, who finished second in the North Section, by 33-20 at Newlands in Cape Town.
Province flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis had another good afternoon with the boot, slotting seven from eight for a personal haul of 18 points as the Capetonians progressed to their first-ever Vodacom Cup final.
The hosts led by 23-12 at the break and controlled the game from the outset, setting the platform upfront for the backs to show their skill.
But early in the second half, the gap closed to 23-17 as JW Jonker, captain of the Pumas, capitalised on a mistake by the home team.
Hooker Sidney Tobias, left wing Ederies Arendse, both in the first half, and loose forward Nic Fenton-Wells, who is also their captain, scored Western Province's tries.
In the end, Western Province's defence, a hallmark of the rugby produced in Cape Town recently, coupled with errors by the Pumas, were the main features of this game.
GWK Griquas 30 (15) Blue Bulls 17 (5)
GWK Griquas – Tries: Francois Brummer, Jean Stemmet, Leon Karemaker, Rocco Jansen. Conversions: Marnitz Boshoff (2). Penalty goals: Boshoff (2).
Blue Bulls – Tries: Sampie Mastriet, Jan Serfontein, Daniel Adongo. Conversion: Tony Jantjies.
Western Province 33 (23) Pumas 20 (12)
Western Province – Tries: Sidney Tobias, Ederies Arendse, Nic Fenton-Wells. Conversions: Demetri Catrakilis (3). Penalty goals: Catrakilis (4).
Ford Pumas – Try: JW Jonker. Penalty goals: JC Roos (5).

City planners have given thought to creating a new zoning regulation for apartments similar to one recently formed in neighboring Monroe.
Director of Planning and Land Use George Benson said a new Multiple Housing Development Zone could benefit Newtown by allowing higher density, market-rate apartments and condominiums, but only with more control by the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC).
He stressed that there is no rush to create the new zoning. No developer has applied for one. But he said that makes it the best time to do it, because the PZC would only have to consider its own priorities and not an applicant's.
In July, the PZC voted it had no objection to Monroe's new Neighborhood Apartment Residence Overlay zone, which requires that at least 65 percent of the units are one-bedroom or studios and the development must be within 1,000 feet, walking distance, of a shopping center.
Monroe needed Newtown's consent because it planned to put the new zone close to the town line. If Newtown had opposed it, Monroe's zoning commission would needed more than a simple majority to pass it.
What Newtown has in mind is slightly different than Monroe's new zone, but Benson noted it would also be an overlay zone that gives the PZC more discretion over the development's design and unit density.
He said the history goes back to 2004 when developer Guri Dauti won a lawsuit against Newtown to allow a condominium complex on Church Hill Road under the state's affordable housing law.
That lawsuit rewrote the town's affordable housing regulations, increasing the unit density from four to six units per usable acre.
Benson said the Multiple Housing Development Zone might be set at six units per acre, and the affordable housing zone raised to eight units per acre.
He said the multiple housing zone would only be allowed in R2 and R3 zones where there are public water and sanitary sewer service, which would strictly limit it to the Route 6 and Route 25 corridors near I-84 Exit 9.
"It's all in concept now," Benson cautioned. "We have a long way to go before anything is decided. We might decide in the end not even to do it."

A plea for help
This email came in today and Shirley and I thought we would share it with you. (Carol's story is on the Pet Pages in archives) If you can't help financially or or some other way just a prayer and some energy would be appreciated.
From: Carol Riedel <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Sun, Jul 22, 2012 at 7:55 AM
Subject: for my animals
To: email@example.com
Shirley, you posted a story about a dog years ago for me named Courage. He sent me on a mission to help animals and people. Here is the situation now.
I have many rescued animals and have rehab some for rescues, housed some for families that lost their home, rehomed some for people who couldn't keep their beloved pets. I have a farm that cares for senior/elderly horses. I have a lease purchase and just landed a great job which would enable me to buy the place in a few months. There is a divorce court judge that has ordered me evicted and the sale of the property immediately he is in Summit county. He has no idea what we do here, the owners have been fighting for years over this property and he is fed up. I have invested a total of $60k in this property in two years none of which I will get back and the judge is as the owner says out to scalp me. Two things, if the judge succeeds I will not be able to rent or buy for a long time and two my own animals will end up at a rescue. That is four dogs, two are rescues, 4 horses, 3 are rescues, and two parrots who are rescues. My attorney can't do anything it is all legal with no human elements I am sorry to say.
I need to let the world know what is happening here and the affects of eviction, foreclosure, and other calamities does to the animals. I have no family, I am a single mother of a 15 year old, I have helped many people and their pets. I need help, I need to save this place for my animals, and others to come.
We have an elderly mare we board for her elderly owner, This mare may not survive a move. Please can you help me for the sake of the animals. Can you do a story and let the people know, the judge that there is more here at stake. I have a wonderful salary and am working for a national corporation. I will be able to buy this place soon.
I am not asking for money only to get our story out in the public realm. We are not alone as many people have had to suffer this but I am so close. I would do anything in the world to save my beloved animals and to continue helping others. Please consider helping me get this story out, I have contacted local news media with no response. I don't know what more I can do.

In my prayers as well. And I am sending this story to my fellow animal-lovers.

Dear Carol don't loose faith, trust the resoloution is on its way. Also don't feel as the victim of unemotional Law. This are only tests that will make you stronger and trust that your work and dedication is in Light with Universal Will.
I congratulate you on your stand and send Love and Light to your cause.
I am dealing now myself with a matter in courts and I am guided to trust my guiding light knowing that there is LAW and there is UNIVERSAL LAW- KARMA
Every time I have a court case now I call on Light to send upon me and others that I like to be protected "A Pyramid of LIGHT that IS like a Mirror".
I see in my inner vision as this pyramid descends upon me and others.
I say that I allow all the good energy transmitted to me and others to be allowed to penetrate that pyramid but I ask that all the negative energy goes back to the sender.
When I am in court I ask the light to souround the judge to make a judgment that is in alighment with universal law. I accept the judgment that comes.
So far I won 2 cases and 5 appeals but the person has placed the same matter in another two courts. I am also learning the greatest lesson to Forgive Him with Love. This is the hardest but I am getting there.
Hope you will be guided protected and learn from experience. Love & Light.
Adding My Prayers
Please keep us updated. Your story touched me deeply and I've been praying for you.
Best regards,
sending energy
Your story touched me also and I'm sending you green energy and light. Please update us all on what happens for you and your precious animals.

Did you know that in Texas, a divorce is actually a lawsuit? It is classified as a public civil action, which is filed in public records at the county courthouse. As you can imagine, a lot of legal issues are involved.
Under Texas divorce law, if you wish to file a petition for divorce, you or your spouse must be a Texas resident for at least six months and a resident of the county in which the divorce is filed for at least 90 days. Even if you were married in a different state, Texas law will still recognize your marriage as valid.
The complexity of the divorce process usually depends on the extent to which you and your spouse have reached agreements regarding property division and custody of any children. The divorce process does not officially begin until you file a document known as the Original Petition for Divorce. The petition includes details about you, your spouse, your children, date of marriage and your residency. Texas law requires the parties to wait 60 days from the date of filing the petition before the divorce can be made final. Therefore, a marriage cannot be dissolved until the 60-day waiting period expires.
During the divorce proceedings, you must resolve any property and child custody issues. When a spouse is unreasonable and puts up a fight regarding child custody, property and assets, a resolution can be difficult. It is wise to have representation from a Dallas divorce attorney who can ensure that your interests are protected.
The Dallas family law firm of Reed & Riordan, PLLC has extensive experience in representing clients who are facing divorce, whether it is contested or uncontested. Contact one of our knowledgeable Dallas divorce attorneys today at (214) 570-9555 for answers to your questions.

Not Funny. Dump.
Can you imagine if after 40 + years, the lasting image of the Jets winning their second super bowl is jason taylor dedicating the victory to miami?
Not Funny. Dump.
Whaaaa? First of all if the Jets win the superbowl, I dont think they are going to have our 3rd down pass rusher on the cover of SI. It'll be the MVP Sanchez duh.
But yeah...dump.
It will definitely be Sanchez holding that trophy... but let's not get ahead of ourselves here please.
That would be the greatest picture ever!
How good would it be to see Taylor win a Super Bowl in a Jet uniform.
I think the back page of the post should say tomorrow "If you can't beat em...join them!
this thread
Fine by me. All that would mean is we won.
Am I the only one who would have no problem with this?
Every single day prior to today I've hated Jason Taylor, and being a Jets fan, he's essentially hated me. But today is different, he's here to try to do exactly what we want to do...win a Super Bowl. It'll take a little while to get used to and he'll have to earn the cheers he gets from us. But, Rex wanted him....Mr. T wanted him...and they got him. I would smile from ear to ear watching Jason Taylor wear green and white while getting his only Super Bowl ring, one more than Dan Marino has!
It took a few weeks to used to Ty Law and people forget how weird the sight of Bryan Cox wearing a Jets helmet in 1998 was.
Again, JT will have to earn it but the first time he turns that corner and barrels in on Tom Brady no one will cheer louder than me!
I hate the Taylor signing as much as anyone, but if we win the Super Bowl, I don't give a damn whose on the cover of SI. We would have just won the ****ing Super Bowl.
Unless Taylor has a Jerome Harrison Super Bowl XLIII esque performance + another big play (like a big strip sack), there is no chance Taylor would grace the cover. Would probably be either Sanchez, Scott, Revis, Rex, or maybe even Tomlinson.
I hate Jason Taylor, but for him to get the cover of SI that issue, he would have to have a huge, possibly MVP worthy moment in the Super Bowl. In which case, yeah, I think I'd have to forgive him.

The graphical stylings in Samsung TouchWiz UI are quite different from what we see on most other Android devices. The loud and colorful UI is generally either a love-it-or-hate-it affair. But luckily, those looking for something new can easily improve the look of their ROM in just a few simple steps.
One of the easiest ways of changing the overall feel of an OS is replacing the stock icons. XDA Forum Member sabeersas created an application that is capable of doing this for you in just a few seconds. WizIconizer uses CSCAppResource icon packs to change your icons. And if you find yourself bored of your new icons, you can easily revert back to the stock icons.
In order to use WizIconizer, you will obviously need a rooted device running a TouchWiz-based firmware. So far, the app has been successfully tested on Samsung devices running Android 4.1.2 and greater. The app is still in at a very early stage of development, so there aren't that many features. However, the developer promises to add some new features in future releases.
If your TouchWiz icons look boring and you would like to change the current look of your OS, head over to application thread and give WizIconizer a try.

A little under two weeks ago, we caught a glimpse of a few leaked screenshot purported to be the face of the next generation of Samsung's TouchWiz UI. A marked departure from the incumbent Nature UX, the alleged new design features a flatter UI drawing many similarities to HTC's highly acclaimed BlinkFeed.
Now, another set of leaked images has appeared, courtesy of leaker extraordinaire @evleaks. As seen in the previously leaked images, today's leak also shows a sleek and flat design that is distinctly more modern than their current UI.
Unlike the previous shots, which showed three distinct types of screen (lock screen, information cards, and traditional home screen), the latest leaked images focus solely on Samsung's take on Google Now-esque information cards. Similar to Google's nearly telepathic virtual assistant, it appears as if Samsung's next UI will detect what you are doing, predict what you want to do, and give you relevant information for both. It is perhaps likely that this can be seen as a direct result to the Google Now integration in the closed source Google Experience Launcher on the Nexus 5.
Naturally, it's important to take these leaked images with a grain of salt. After all, we've all been proven wrong before when it comes to leaks. But if these are indeed shots of Samsung's work-in-progress, it's not hard to imagine many favoring the change. Are you a fan of the new look of the alleged screenshots? Are you looking forward to Google Now-esque integration in the next version of TouchWiz? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Up until very recently, Samsung has been relatively quiet about an official KitKat update for its flagship Galaxy S 4. Despite this, a leaked memo pointed towards a possible January release for the S4 and the Note 3. Now, it looks like Samsung is actively preparing for release, as a leaked 4.4.2-based firmware has appeared for the S4.
A few days ago, we shared leaked screenshots that seemed to indicate that Samsung was working on a dramatic artistic redesign for their trademark TouchWiz UI. Unfortunately, this leaked build does not incorporate these graphical tweaks. However, progress is being made in the UI front, as the device now features a translucent notification bar with white icons. There are a few other changes such as a revised lock screen, tweaked keyboard, and performance improvements.
For those looking to give the firmware a try, XDA Recognized Developer Faryaab has posted the leak to the forums. To give it a try, download the firmware over in the original thread. From there, you will need Odin to flash the ROM. And if you want root access, be sure to download the latest version of SuperSu or CF-Auto-Root, which have been updated to work with the leaked 4.4.2 firmware.
[Many thanks to XDA Forum Member toastido for the tip!]

Modern Samsung devices generally pack class-leading specifications, great battery life, fantastic screens, and more features than you can shake a stick at. They're also one of the better OEMs for providing somewhat timely firmware updates on at least their flagship devices.
Arguably, all of this equates to some of the best devices on the market, and you wouldn't be faulted for thinking that their market share demonstrates this. But one thing that's a bit harder to argue is the aesthetic beauty of their custom TouchWiz UI. Often the butt of many jokes, the company's take on the Android UI is a face only the Korean OEM could love. And in its current version, it leaves much to be desired thanks to its childish colors and icons, cluttered interface, and overall outdated appearance.
New leaked screenshots posted by @evleaks show a dramatic shift in their artistic direction, with a flatter UI very reminiscent of HTC's BlinkFeed. Aside from the similarities to BlinkFeed, the new UI jives much better with Android's flat and modern UI than the previous releases that seem more at home on Android 2.x.
So will this new version of TouchWiz be your "Life companion?" We're excited to see anything that makes TouchWiz a little less ugly. Share your thoughts on their new artistic direction in the comments below.

The lock screen widgets functionality that was introduced with Android 4.2 is incredibly useful. Lock screen widgets deliver at-a-glance information quickly and easily—without the need to fumble across home screens, apps, and menus. Their utility is then compounded when used in conjunction with lock screen security, since you can access this information without having to first unlock your device.
For some reason, however, Samsung decided that this functionality wasn't important enough, as they have removed the possibility to add widgets when the device is secured. Thankfully, XDA Forum Member MohammadAG has created a quick modification that brings this functionality back. And just like the native Android functionality, it also enables a secure camera mode, where you can take new pictures and view them but not pictures taken previously.
The modification comes the form of a module for XDA Recognized Developer rovo89's fantastic Xposed framework (thread). It has thus far been tested on the Galaxy S 4 and Galaxy S III running the leaked 4.2.2 TouchWiz ROM, but it should work on any device running TouchWiz firmwares based on Android 4.2.
Head over to the module thread to get started. And if you happen t0 own an S 4 with a Flip Cover, check out MohammadAG's other Xposed module for better media player access on the lock screen.

Canadian Money Targets Power Generation Overseas
a floor price. If it's beaten by some competitor, the developer gets a lower cost of capital."
There are other ways to gain access to Canadian capital, including nonbank lending institutions.
The recently formed Borealis Infrastructure Fund, for example, boasts that its sponsor, the Municipal Employees Retirement Fund in Ontario, raised $350 million this year for independent power or other infrastructure projects.
Another nonbank lender, Newcourt Capital, recently established a project finance fund with $500 million from large institutional investors, which included Canadian investors like Sun Life, Mutual Life, Caisse de Depot et Placements and the Ontario Teachers Pension.
According to managing director Daniel Morash, the company has assets of $4.5 billion, with $18.3 billion in owned and managed loans operating in 24 countries. Newcourt's first transaction was a 32-year leveraged lease agreement for a natural gas storage facility in Michigan developed by MCN Investment Corp., a subsidiary of MCN Energy Group Inc., which owns Michigan Consolidated Gas Co., a local distribution company. Projects don't have to be on Canadian soil, or use Canadian-manufactured equipment to qualify for Newcourt's business. But its ongoing relationship with Canadian agencies helps those projects that do.
Morash favors leveraged leasing arrangements, which can provide up to 97 percent of the capital needed to complete a project with fewer lending costs. In this scenario, Newcourt Credit is established as a passive funding partner to a sponsor corporation, a limited liability company, which serves as a vehicle for the financing and operation of generating capacity. During construction, the financing typically would be 3 percent equity, 97 percent debt, where the debt would be provided by the Newcourt fund or in consortia with other funding institutions.
An Expanded Role
As the sixth-largest generator of electric power (116,000 MW) and the largest producer of hydroelectric power, Canada stands third in the world in per capita consumption of electricity. Its equipment manufacturers appear only too willing to join hands with financiers on overseas projects.
H. William Pearson, president of Agra Development Inc., believes that Canada is positioned to be a player in the 60 gigawatts of worldwide privatization projected by 2000.
"The end result is that we produced world-class utility operators, manufacturers, engineers and contractors to build those plants," Pearson says. "We have tremendous strengths in our own land in doing those things. Canada is an export-oriented country. We survive by exports. It's built into the culture of our industry, our manufacturers, our engineering and construction contractors."
Paul Koenderman, president of Babcock & Wilcox Canada, believes there are other reasons to buy from his country: an attractive exchange rate, proven international savvy and strong affiliations with major U.S. parents.
On the hydro side, Canada is the world leader, having built 40 percent of the world market, more than 46,000 MW, according to Haresh Ramchandani, marketing director in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka for GE Hydro. Some key projects under way are Sanxia (Three Gorges) in China (4,260 MW when complete), the Pangue hydro project in Chile (450 MW when complete) and Chamera in India (600 MW when complete).

With less than a week to go until the 2012 NFL Draft, here is a last-second look at the NFC West and positions that need to be addressed come draft time:
San Francisco 49ers
The offensive line actually excelled in the run game. They are built around the offensive scheme of giving Gore the ball and letting him plow through. Concerns arise around the pass protection that allowed Alex Smith to get sacked 44 times last season, a league worst. In his first season with the team, center Jonathan Goodwin performed well. Right guard Adam Snyder recently signed with Arizona, so look for San Francisco to pick up an offensive guard early in the draft.
This need for improvement at wide receiver is all about uncertainty. Yes, the 49ers picked up ex-retiree Randy Moss and Mario Manningham in free agency. If Moss still has something left in his tank like he says, than he can cause problems deep downfield for opposing defenses. Not sure if everyone's 100 percent convinced, though. At best Manningham would be a No.2 receiver, and how certain is it that he will be able step out of the shell and be a playmaker, unlike in New York? Throw in the inconsistent Michael Crabtree who played well below standards last season, and there's a problem.
Arizona Cardinals
Many years have passed and the Cardinals are still stuck with an offensive line that never develops. They left huge gaps for defensive tackles to run through last season. Quarterback Kevin Kolb constantly faced pressure from both sides. Left tackle Levi Brown has proved that he can secure his side of the line, but the right slot is still up in the air.
This will be Kevin Kolb's chance to prove himself after his first full offseason with the Cardinals. If he wants to be the starter in 2012, he'll need to prove it right out of the gates because John Skelton is breathing down his neck. Skelton, who replaced Kolb when he suffered a concussion, went 5-2 as a starter and led the Cardinals on a hot streak to end the season. Is Arizona comfortable with one of these quarterbacks as a long-term solution? Their recent flirtation with Peyton Manning isn't very convincing.
Credit needs to be given where it's due. Kudos to a defense that finished the season with tremendous performances. Inside linebacker Daryl Washington led the team with 111 tackles and Davis Lenon followed with 103. On the outside, Sam Acho excelled as a rookie, totaling 7 sacks and four forced fumbles in his 10 starts. While maybe not a desperate need, the Cardinals could use an outside pass rusher to go with Acho. This draft is full of them.
St. Louis Rams
Many injuries led to a disaster in this area last season. Pass protection, run game, you name it. Bob Dahl was the only offensive lineman to start every game, and even he was playing hurt. Offensive tackles Jason Smith and Rodger Saffold both have injury concerns. St. Louis has used free agency to fill some holes here, and picking up a big-time player in the draft will solidify the line.
If anyone felt a little safer when Brandon Lloyd joined the team last year and led it with 51 catches, think again. Lloyd is now in New England, leaving Danny Amendola and Steve Smith (from Philadelphia) as the focal points for quarterback Sam Bradford, The receiving core does have depth, but only No.2 and No.3 players. With the sixth overall pick in the draft, St. Louis has a chance to grab that No.1 receiver for the next ten years.
Dreadful performances on offense left many overlooking the problems in the secondary. Well, problems is not plural anymore. St. Louis reached out and grabbed former Titan cornerback Cortland Finnegan. He has the experience and liveliness needed to be a role model for this defense. On the other side sits Bradley Fletcher, and he played considerably well before he tore his ACL last season. This is not the only time he has gotten hurt, and if St. Louis picks a cornerback early in the draft then it will put pressure on Fletcher to show he can overcome an injury.
St. Louis is a team with many holes. By trading their No. 2 pick to the Washington Redskins, they now have more picks in the draft to help them become contenders in the NFC West again.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks could really use a pass rusher to accommodate Chris Clemons. This will be the biggest need for the team heading into the draft. This young and upcoming defense has shown that they can keep games close against tougher teams and stuff the run. Seattle resigned defensive end Red Bryant who is notorious for being a run stopper. However, the front line barely put any pressure on opposing quarterbacks last season. There is a lot of talent in the draft, and Seattle might just take a pass rusher with the twelfth pick.
With David Hawthorne now with New Orleans, there is an obvious lack of talent at this position. Leroy Hill and Matt McCoy have signed new contracts, but Hill is a concern due to his past incidents with the law. McCoy was a standout player on special teams, but is only used as a situational linebacker on defense. K.J. Wright played well last year as a rookie with 65 tackles, and he will help add depth.
IT would be nice to have another player that can take the workload of Marshawn Lynch. His play style makes him more of a third down back, so expect Carroll and Co. (who favors the run) to pick up someone who is quick and can gain yardage on first down.

Chicago Bears cornerback Devin Hester returns a kickoff with Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Pepper in tandem Feb. 10, 2007 at the 2007 Pro Bowl at Kapolei, Hawaii. (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)
Devin Hester has been to three Pro Bowls as a kick and punt return specialist, but it's not likely it will happen again. The NFL announced changes to the Pro Bowl that all but ensured his trips to Hawaii for the game are over.
The NFL has eliminated kickoffs from the game, also eliminating the need for kick return specialists. The league also decided to turn the roster into a fantasy football set-up. The coaches will each draft their teams from a list of players voted in by fans and players. It will add some interest to the game, but it means Hester won't be voted in to a Pro Bowl.
Hester is understandably upset.
"If you are taking the returner out of the Pro Bowl, you're taking two positions out." Hester said after Wednesday's training camp practice. "That will suck for me. They are trying to change up the whole game of football and they're messing with people's jobs and lives."
Pro Bowl incentives are often written into contracts. Hester's skill as a return man is unquestionable, but he can no longer be rewarded for what he does on the field.
Most return men also have other jobs on the field. They are defensive backs, wide receivers and running backs. But Hester's production as a return man has usually suffered when he had to split his focus. The Bears' new coach recognized that and said Hester would only be on special teams this year.
Changes in the Pro Bowl, though, mean Hester's new role will mean he won't get any more of that recognition.

|I only have one rule: Make a deal, keep it. The reason we don't call our chits in early--consumer confidence. This isn't Wall Street; this is Hell! We have a little something called 'integrity!'
|~ Crowley about Faustian Deals
Crowley is a main antagonist appearing on the TV series Supernatural. He is the most recurring villain of the series. He is played by Mark Sheppard.
Season 5
Crowley is first mentioned in the Season 5 episode "The Real Ghostbusters" as being the demon to whom Lilith handed the Colt over after obtaining the weapon from Bela Talbot, in addition to possibly being Lilith's lover.
Crowley first appears in the subsequent episode "Abandon All Hope...," where Dean and Sam Winchester inflitrate his mansion on a mission to retrieve the Colt from him. They corner Crowley but are captured by two of Crowley's henchmen. Crowley draws the Colt and proceeds to shoot the henchmen dead, then leads the Winchesters into his office. He offers to give the Colt to the Winchesters so they can kill Lucifer, stating that Lucifer will eradicate all demons after he wipes out humans. Crowley then disappears to what he calls "all points nowhere."
Crowley returns in "The Devil You Know," suddenly appearing in the Impala's backseat. After avoiding being stabbed by an irate Sam (who initially believes that Crowley gave them the Colt knowing it wouldn't work on Lucifer), Crowley reveals that Lucifer knows he (Crowley) wants him dead and that he (Crowley) has been in hiding for the past several months. He then offers to help the Winchesters obtain the remaining two Horsemen rings and aids Dean in capturing Brady, Pestilence's servant. Later, when a hellhound approaches, Crowley disappears but returns shortly after with his own hellhound, whom he sics on the other hellhound to allow the Winchesters to escape with Brady. At the end of the episode, Crowley approaches Bobby Singer with an offer to reveal Death's location in exchange for Bobby's soul.
In "Two Minutes to Midnight," Crowley appears just after Bobby reveals Death's location to the Winchesters and Castiel, and Bobby and Crowley's deal comes to light (along with the fact that the two men kissed to seal the deal). Crowley reveals that he bought Bobby's soul as leverage against the Winchesters. Later, Crowley gives Dean Death's scythe so he can use it to kill Death, and accompanies Dean to Chicago, where Death currently is. Crowley finds the Horseman in a restaurant.
Season 6
Crowley serves as one of the two main antagonists of the season (along with Raphael).
Season 7
After the events of season 6, Crowley goes into hiding from the new God, Castiel, only to be found soon afterwards. Instead of killing the king of hell, Castiel lets Crowley continue his work in hell under his supervision stating he still needs a place to punish his enemies. Crowley reluctantly agrees. After Castiel is dethroned, so to speak, and the Leviathans are set free, Crowley tries to make an alliance with their leader, Dick Roman, only to be rejected and have his entire race threatened. Fearing for his life, Crowley makes an uneasy alliance with the winchesters and forgiving the now harmless Castiel for enslaving him. The season ends with Dick Roman's death and Crowley kidnapping the prophet Kevin Tran.
Season 8
Crowley is the main antagonist of the season. In "Clip Show," Crowley begins killing the people Sam and Dean saved from supernatural menaces over the years, using Chuck Shurley's Supernatural books to find said people.
In "Sacrifice," Crowley goes on a date with Jody Mills, a friend of the Winchesters. When Jody begins choking on her own blood as a result of a hexbag made by Crowley, the Winchesters call Crowley and agree to stand down if he agrees to stop killing people they've saved. Later, Crowley meets with the Winchesters at Singer Scrap Yard, where Crowley displays an extremely long contract. Dean seizes the opportunity to handcuff Crowley to himself with shackles bearing a devil's trap, preventing Crowley from abandoning his human host. Dean and Sam then take Crowley to an abandoned church, intending to use him as the third and final trial to close Hell forever (said trial calls for the one completing the trials to cure a demon). Crowley is bound to a chair, and Sam regularly injects him with his purified blood. Crowley manages to send out a message for help, and Abaddon arrives. However rather than help Abaddon tries to kill Crowley so she can take the throne. Following Sam scaring Abaddon off, he continues the process and it beguins to work. As Crowley starts to become human he beguins expressing regret for his actions, asking Sam where does he start to confess? He also reveals he has always had a desire to be respected and loved, implying all his power grabbing and egocentric actions are drived from this desire being twisted and perverted by his transfomation into a demon. However Dean stops Sam before he can fully cure Crowley, as he's discovered the process will cause Sam to die. Leaving it unclear if Crowley will keep his new found humanity or loose it.

School Reviews
- July 03, 2013 - I highly recommend Orangewood Academy. My brothers and I attended from elementary school, up to high school and graduated. We were all very involved with sports, music, and clubs on campus. This place was our home and I am so thankful for the dedicated teachers, coaches, and staff that made this place so special. I have wonderful memories of my time at Orangewood Academy. When I graduated I felt prepared for college and the "real world." I can say today almost 15 years after graduating that I am successful because of the skills I attained here. I am proud to say I am a part of the Orangewood Academy family. - Posted by Student/Alumni
