While 2011 was a pretty good year for quality banks, and 2012 was a better year for lower-quality banks, 2013 will likely be a challenging year for many banks. Commerce Bancshares (Nasdaq:CBSH) has a relatively good mix of fee income and a solid commercial lending business, but low yields on loans and securities will likely lead to slow going over the next year or two. Though I think Commerce can continue to do better than small rivals with more balance sheet growth and competitive share gains, it's hard to get fired up about the shares right now.
SEE: Commercial Banking - Bank Crises And Panics
Decent Fourth Quarter Results, but Special Items Helped a Lot
Commerce Bancshares did all right on a reported basis, but investors should appreciate that the results wouldn't have been so good without a few "non-operating" items.
Operating revenue rose 4% both annually and sequentially, with net interest income flat from last year and up 5% sequentially. Interest income got a significant boost from inflation-indexed securities and special dividends on private equity investments, and "core" net interest income was up 1% sequentially. Likewise, while the sequential five basis point (BPS) improvement in net interest margin (to 3.35%) looked good, underlying run-rate NIM (net interest margin) was not so strong.
Commerce did grow the balance sheet this quarter, with average earning assets up 4% from Q3, and with loans and securities both up. Ending loan balances were up 7% from last year and 2% from Q3, but non-performing loans were down by almost one-third and 7%, respectively. The non-performing asset (NPA) ratio declined another 10 BPS to a very low 0.7% level (versus 3% at Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and about 1% at U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB).
Expenses increased 3% sequentially, with the efficiency ratio coming in at 58.2% (versus 58.5% last year and 58.8% in the last quarter). Fee income growth was OK, up 2% sequentially, with good strength in the company's largest individual source (bank card fees up 5% sequentially).
Real Pressure in the Core Business
Commerce Bancshares, like most banks in and outside of the Midwest, is still seeing significant pressure on its earnings potential. As mentioned before, the bank got a meaningful boost to its interest income from its securities portfolio, as the company's yield was up just two BPS sequentially.
Like other banks, the challenge for Commerce will be growing spreads in this low-rate environment. The company saw the cost of interest-bearing funds drop two BPS to 0.28%, while the overall cost of deposits came in at 0.18%. Non-interest-bearing deposits rose 16% (against a nearly 2% increase in interest-bearing deposits), but I'm not sure how much juice can be squeezed from this orange. That, in a nutshell, is the challenge for quality banks right now - the cost of funds can't go below zero, so there aren't a lot of levers to pull to improve NIM in the near term.
SEE: Commercial Banking - Operations
Still Opportunities to Grow
I don't want to give investors the impression that Commerce has no chance of growing in a low-rate environment. Commerce is a pretty conservatively run bank, and the company has the balance sheet strength to do a deal if management can find the right bank at the right price. Likewise, the company could do more lending if it wanted to - although chasing poor credit risks just for the sake of growth is not how this bank operates.
One way or another, Commerce needs to do something. The company already has a sizable share of the markets in Missouri and Kansas, and I'm not sure grabbing share from Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp is a long-term winning formula. On the other hand, going after the share held by Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and the numerous small banks in states such as Colorado and Oklahoma could be more viable.
The Bottom Line
I continue to believe that Commerce Bancshares can return to a 13% or 14% return on equity over a five-year horizon. Unfortunately, that only points to a fair value in the high $30 range. Likewise, giving the bank a valuation of 1.5 times estimated 2013 tangible book value (which may arguably be a little low for a high-quality bank) suggests a mid-$30s valuation. All of that leads me to believe that Commerce Bancshares remains a solid hold for long-term shareholders, but not necessarily a compelling buy today.

Love this (great for cold/flu evenings)! Packaging would be more attractive w/o Burt mug (c'mon, it's relaxing, soothing, "ahhh" Bath Salts)! I mix this with epsom salts to tone down the strong scent as the smell is more powerful in the actual tin than in the sample packets.

i got this in a sample pack, i'm very happy that i did. my whole body was sore and aching last night so i decided to give this thing a try. i've been in 5 car accidents (and i'm only 19, i know, sad) and whenever there's humidity in the air it feels like there are bricks on my shoulders, lower back, and neck.. along with a massive evil headache. i poured the whole packet under extremely hot unbareable to touch running water. i figured since these babies are crystals, it'll need the heat to melt. sure enough they melted right away. i love the smell. this stuff is really relaxing too. even though I only had 4 hours to sleep last night, i feel like i got a good 8 hours. i'm definately buying this stuff!

This was a great product. Burt's Bees has the most unique scents this has a lemongrass, minty refreshing smell which totally cleared my sinuses, and my skin felt so soft and tingly when I got out of the bath. I love Burt's Bees stuff and the concept is even better since they do so much to help the environment! Highly reccomend this for bathlovers....

It is a paint can that can decorate your bathroom. I LOVE BURT'S BEES!

Product Information
Building Muscle Never Tasted So Good! Backed by 20 years of clinical studies with human athletes, creatine monohydrate continues to be the gold-standard in sports supplementation for rapidly building muscle, strength, and improving athletic performance.
And now, Power Chews is proud to offer athletes the most widely researched and clinically proven sports supplement ingredient of all time in an addictively delicious, sugar-free chewable!
"A Bigger Bench & More Lean Mass in Less Than a Week?"
Did you know that in as little as 5 days, subjects taking the precise dose of creatine monohydrate found in sugar free Power Chews Creatine significantly improved their bench pressing power while adding more lean muscle mass when compared to the placebo group? They did...and that's not all.
New, groundbreaking research shows that the precise dose of creatine found in Power Chews Creatine, in combination with resistance training, can suppress myostatin protein expression. Not familiar with myostatin protein?
Myostatin protein is a naturally occurring protein inside your body, and it actually prevents you from growing new muscle cells. Bummer right? Well, you'll want to hear this.
Scientists followed 27 healthy male athletes for 8 weeks. The group supplementing with creatine, in addition to 8 weeks of resistance training, showed significantly lower levels of myostatin, which scientists now believe contributes to the significant gains observed in lean muscle tissue...ie, they got huge, blown up, and tanked out!
Once again, creatine monohydrate is continuing to prove itself as the KING of all muscle builders!

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Fluffy Not very good I found that, after applying the paper, it shrunk back in places. It also came away from the wall even though we smoothed it down a lot. 12 April 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tidygirl Good quality wallpaper. Easy to hang and looks great. 11 April 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Louabell Excellent quality This wallpaper looks well on the wall fresh and clean and excellent quality for putting it on to the wall. 11 April 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kthoops Worst wallpaper I have ever used. Unfortunately I was very dissatisfied with this wallpaper, as soon as you put paste on the back of it it becomes weak and easy rips, as soon as you use a cloth to gently rub the wallpaper on applying it to the wall the red print comes off, smears onto the background and gets on your hands. The only positive thing about the wallpaper is its pattern, which is the reason I purchased it for my teenage daughters bedroom. After applying only 3 strips I seriously contemplated ripping it down, was only due to the fact that my daughter loved the pattern of it so much that I reluctantly persued with it until the room was done. I love wallpapering and over 15 years have used many papers and by far this is the worst by far - just being honest. 07 March 2013

Tropers: Nhaz Ul
Whatever. I just hate empty pages.
This troper provides examples of:
- Adjusting Your Glasses: Type 3. But I'm not planning world domination , it's just the easiest way.note
- Beard of Evil: And I like to stroke it. Seriously, one guy told me I looked like "an evil Nhaz from an alternate universe". I wonder if he's a fellow troper.
- Berserk Button: A berserk keypad, actually.
- Brilliant but Lazy: Well, not brilliant, but I have my moments when I actually stop being lazy and get things done.
- Dark Is Not Evil: I do like to invoke the image. But I wouldn't hurt a fly. note
- Death Glare: They tell me this is my default expression. When I'm really pissed off, this and Kubrick Stare helps get my point across.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Before I grew a beard, people tended to mistake me for a girl.
- Enraged by Idiocy: And twice as much at my own.
- Fascinating Eyebrow
- Hair-Trigger Temper: I hulk out frequently, over the smallest things.
- I Just Want to Be Special: Why else would I fill in my TV Tropes entry?
- Knight in Sour Armor: I'm trying.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All
- Mad Scientist: Will become one if I'm fortunate.
- Misplaced Nationalism: You are advised not to call the Cyrillic alphabet "Russian" (or claim Russians invented it) within earshot of me unless you have a death wish. Other than that, I'm not into Cultural Posturing.
- My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: You're free to talk almost any trash about Bulgaria's politics and I won't mind (most of it would be true anyway and if so, I'd even happily join you).
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Red to almost anyone.
- Self-Deprecation: A mechanism to keep my ego in check. As evident from this page, it doesn't always work.
- Shrinking Violet: When not hulking out, I'm in this state, never taking the initiative and mumbling all to myself for fear of saying or doing something wrong.
- Slasher Smile: When the Death Glare doesn't work, this does.
- Stoic Spectacles: Inverted. I have the glasses and the low ponytail, but I'm nowhere near stoic.
- TV Tropes Ruined Your Life
- TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary: Has already.
- Villainous Cheekbones: Combined with Kubrick Stare and Death Glare.
- Unstoppable Rage: When I hulk out.
Tropes in TRON: Uprising fan fiction TRON: Revolution:
- After Action Patch Up: How Beck gains Paige's trust.
- An Arm and a Leg: During their battle, Tesler has his leg cut off by Paige. He transfers the "deletion" onto her disc, severing her leg instead.
- And This Is for...: Paige before she kills Tesler.
- Asshole Victim: Paige's unusual nonchalant reaction to getting four of Pavel's Mooks killed comes from her knowledge that all of them are handpicked for their ruthlessness.
- Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp"/Hold Your Hipogriffs: I use those rather heavily, replacing normal words with computer terms, especially for slurs (glitch = bitch, malware = lowlife, shareware = whore, etc.)
- Continuation Fic: Since Disney all but cancelled Uprising.
- Defector from Decadence: Paige finally switches sides. Not really a spoiler.
- Flashback Echo: Beck has a glitch as an effect from the time he lost his identity when he stands at the exact place it happened. It gives Paige the final confirmation that it's him behind the mask.
- Reformed, but Rejected: Paige is afraid this will happen to her. She's right.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: CLU allows Paige to see Tesler's memories so she can go on one and dispose of the general. It works.
- The Un-Reveal: Paige has figured out Beck's identity before he takes off his mask.
- Ungrateful Bitch: As in the show, Paige is initially furious at the Renegade for taking on Tesler, despite needing the help.
Tropes in Harry Potter fan fiction Sever not the Lily flower, lest you bleed in the mud:
- Faux Symbolism: I may be dropping too much symbolism in this. Just look at the title.
- For Want of a Nail: What If? Snape didn't call Lily a Mudblood?
- Give Geeks a Chance: Lily does.
- Love Redeems: The ultimate idea of the fic is to show how much better Snape's life would have been if he had done an effort to keep Lily in his life.
- My God, What Did I Almost Do: Severus is terrified that he almost called Lily a Mudblood.

When I left my last job I was making $50000 a year with 6 years of management experience. I decided to get my bachelor's of business administration.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is an immune-mediated contagious viral disease of cats caused by certain strains of the feline coronavirus. The disease is progressive and eventually fatal.
How the Disease is Spread and Risk Factors
Although FIP is not highly contagious, infected cats can transmit the virus through body fluids (respiratory and oral secretions) and feces. Infection occurs by inhalation or ingestion of the virus. Close contact between cats is very important for transmission of the disease. The disease can also be passed from mothers to unborn kittens or through milk.
Cats living in multiple cat populations, such as in shelters or catteries, are at the greatest risk of FIP infection. Cats with weakened immune systems, including kittens or seniors or those with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) or feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), are most susceptible; however, cats of all ages can become infected.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Symptoms of FIP include fever, weight loss, fatigue, and lack of appetite followed by a swollen abdomen, jaundice, kidney and liver disorders and eye problems. Due to the vague and generalized symptoms of FIP, your veterinarian may test your cat when he / she is ill in order to rule out this disease.
As the disease progresses, cats typically develop either a "wet" or "dry" form of FIP. The wet form is characterized by an accumulation of thick yellow fluid in the body cavities. In the dry form, nodular masses are seen on the surface and inside certain organs such as the spleen, liver, kidneys, eyes, brain and lungs.
Diagnosis of FIP is made through a combination of physical examination, your cat's history, presenting symptoms, X-ray and laboratory tests.
What to do if Your Cat has FIP
Unfortunately, there is no cure for this fatal disease. If your cat is diagnosed with FIP, we recommend supportive care, including easing the effects of the symptoms, providing good nutrition and of course giving your sweet companion lots of love and attention. There has been an FIP vaccination since 2002, but it is controversial due to its ineffectiveness. Research aimed at slowing the disease's progress is ongoing.
If you have a multi-cat household, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of FIP. These include scooping litter daily, thoroughly disinfecting the litter box regularly and keeping the litter box away from food and water dishes. Keeping up with your cats' vaccinations and providing a good diet are also important. If you suspect one of your cats has FIP, he or she should immediately be separated from your other cats and taken to your veterinary hospital for testing.
To learn more about FIP, schedule an appointment, or to have your cat(s) tested for FIP, please call the veterinary hospital today.
March is Poison Prevention Awareness Month. Pet poisoning is a serious problem. Ingestion of harmful foods and chemicals is among the top reasons that pets require emergency care. However, with proper awareness and precautions, pet poisoning is preventable.
Delicious But Deadly: What You Need to Know
For your curious, non-discriminating pet, home offers a buffet of tempting but harmful treats. The biggest threats include:
Human medicine: Over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil), prescription medications (such as heart medications and anti-depressants), as well as dietary supplements
Flea and tick preventatives: Always follow recommended dosages and instructions and never use treatments intended for a dog on a cat. Exceeding recommended doses is dangerous and not the way to kill more fleas and ticks.
Human food: Chocolate, garlic, onions, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, the artificial sweetener xylitol (found in sugar-free gum), and avocados are toxic to pets.
Household cleaners and chemicals: paint, paint thinners, solvents, and pool chemicals (etc.!)
Plants: According to the Pet Poison Helpline, the most common poisonous household plants are the autumn crocus, azalea, cyclamen, kalanchoe, lilies, oleander, dieffenbachia, daffodils, lily of the valley, sago palm, tulips, and hyacinths. And don't forget about poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly during the holidays!
Rodenticides: Use with extreme caution; they are engineered to be appetizing. The most common type uses an anticoagulant which causes internal bleeding and death.
Pest control baits and insecticides: Though less harmful than rodenticides, bait containers themselves post a risk if ingested.
Lawn and garden chemicals: Allow for proper drying time (up to 48 hours) in the area before giving pets access to treated areas and plants.
Antifreeze: Antifreeze is very sweet and attractive to dogs. There is an antidote but it must be given shortly after ingestion, so if you suspect ingestion seek veterinary attention immediately.
What You Can Do: Pet-Proofing Prevents Problems
Keep cleaners and other harmful chemicals in a secure, or locked cabinet and clean up any spills immediately. Use organic alternatives whenever possible. Keep all medicine in a bathroom and if you are concerned about your pet gobbling a dropped pill, close the door before taking. Keep people food out of reach and remind all family members and guests not to feed your pets. Remember that a determined or bored pet can chew through containers, bottles, and even child-safe locks!
If you suspect that your pet has eaten something poisonous, act quickly! Contact your veterinarian, local emergency hospital, and/or the Pet Poison Helpline at 800-213-6680.
Everyone knows how beneficial pets can be in our lives. But now, recent scientific evidence has actually proven what pet owners already knew. Heart failure patients who spent 12 minutes with a dog or cat had lower stress hormone levels, lower blood pressure levels, and a general brighter outlook about their recovery. Therapy dogs, and cats, have now started their rounds, under "doctor's orders". Watch this video to learn more.
According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an estimated 54% of U.S. dogs and cats are too pudgy, and 21% are classified as obese. The figures are similar for dogs and cats. The risks of being too heavy are well known in humans, and yet 68% of U.S. adults are overweight. Pet obesity carries similar risk factors, and as responsible pet owners, we need to cut the kibble and up the exercise for our companion animals.
Primary Risks of Obesity in Pets:
- Osteoarthritis
- Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart and Respiratory Disease
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament Injury
- Kidney Disease
- Many Forms of Cancer
- Decreased life expectancy (up to 2.5 years)
How to Tell If You Have an Obese Animal
Just by looking at your pet, you should be able to tell if a dog or cat is carrying extra weight. The following are signs that you have a pudgy pet:
- It's difficult to feel the pet's ribs under the fat
- It has a sagging stomach – you can grab a handful of fat!
- Seen from above, your cat or dog has a broad, flat back
- The pet has no waist
If you think you have a heavy pet, your veterinarian can recommend weight management foods, portion recommendations, and some simple exercise regimens to follow with both dogs and cats. Dogs may need to be walked 2-3 miles several times a week, and cats need to get short 15-minute bursts of active play two or three times a day. The routines may be good for you, too.
For Pet Obesity Awareness Day, veterinarians are being asked to record some simple weight data for each pet they examine on October 12. The goal is to determine more accurately the exact number of pets in the United States that are overweight or obese. Pet owners can also contribute to the study by visiting the association's website at http://www.petobesityprevention.com/npoad/ and filling out a simple form. Instructions for participation will be sent via email.
Mark your calendars – a major holiday for all animal lovers is quickly approaching. World Animal Day was started in 1931 by a group of ecologists in Florence, Italy. Originally intended to bring awareness to endangered species, the scope of the holiday has since expanded. According to the official website for World Animal Day, its mission is "to raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe."
World Animal Day is observed across the globe in a variety of different ways, from fundraising for various animal welfare groups to public celebrations. To learn more about World Animal Day, visit the official website.
Wish you had a lens ready for those cute moments when Whiskers snuggles up against Spot on the couch? Or when Fido gives you that adorable look? More often than not, we are simply not picture-ready for those picture-perfect moments of our pets. And by the time we finally reach for our cameras, the moment has already passed. If this sounds familiar, here are a few tips to help your pet get the spotlight he deserves:
- Timing is everything: With animals, time is always of the essence. Your pet is constantly moving, so having a camera that's both accessible and easy-to-shoot may be key to capturing those fleeting moments. Where movement presents an issue, photographers also recommend shooting in "burst mode" whenever possible.
- Get low: You may need to do some gymnastics in order to accomplish the shots you want. Shooting from a comfortable angle probably won't allow those cute puppy eyes to shine through. Getting down to your pet's level will instantly improve your shots.
- Shoot like a video camera: Instead of waiting for your pet to do something cute before reaching for your camera, try reversing your steps. Grab your camera and wait for your pet to entertain you. Usually we're just a few seconds too late. But if you already have your camera ready, you're sure to catch Fido in the act.
- Keep shooting: Especially in the age of digital photography, there's no reason you can't rapid fire until you find that one shot that perfectly captures the moment. After twenty shots, you're bound to get one image that fits the bill.
- Use natural lighting: It's best to use natural lighting when photographing your pets. If you have to use a flash, avoid taking the photo from straight on, otherwise you'll get a red-eye effect. Photographers typically recommend soft morning light or early evening light that comes through trees or windows.
- Get their attention: Though the best shots are usually candid, it often helps to get your pet's attention using treats, toys, or simply calling their name. Remember, dogs will often respond to multiple calls, but chose your battles wisely with Whiskers – she may only fall for that trick once.
- Experiment: Play around with your camera's various modes and shutter speeds to see what best suits your animal's movements and personality. Each picture tells a story, so don't be afraid to play around with your camera until you've created the story you want to tell.
Pets can be the most fun – albeit complicated – subjects to photograph. With some time, patience, and a lot of experimenting, you too can get the shots of Fido you've always wanted. So go ahead, snap away!

As a remembrance of the lives lost on September 11, 2001, here's a story of the recovery effort from a unique perspective.
In the aftermath of 9/11, hundreds of service dogs aided in search and recovery efforts at Ground Zero. Today, just one remains. Bretagne, a golden retriever, recently celebrated her 16th birthday with a trip to New York where she dined on gourmet cheeseburger, explored the city in a vintage taxi, and took the time to pay her respects at Ground Zero.
Bretagne and her owner, Denise Corliss, came from Texas in the wake of the disaster. It was the first deployment for both Corliss and the then-two year old dog. As a search dog, Bretagne was responsible for searching through areas of rubble. If no one was found, the rubble would be removed. According to Corliss Bretagne regularly spent 12 hours per day searching alongside other rescuers and their canines.
After 9/11, Bretagne and Corliss worked together during Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Ivan. She retired as a search dog in 2009 and now serves as a therapy dog at elementary schools in Texas.
In an interview with the New York Daily News, Corliss said that Bretagne also helped in another way. At one point, Bretagne spotted an exhausted and expressionless firefighter and ran to his side, ignoring Corliss's calls to return. "It was like she was flipping me the paw," she said. "She went right to that firefighter and laid down next to him and her head on his lap."

Dr. David G. Williamson's Ratings
Dr. Williamson is amazing! I had a mastopexy and breast augmentation in July and I couldn't be happier with my results. From my first consultation to my last follow up Dr. Williamson and his staff were always extremely helpful, kind, and considerate. I healed very quickly with minimal discomfort and the results are better than I could have ever expected. Highly recommend Dr. Williamson.

I had Dr. David Williamson for a corrective reconstructive post masteomy surgery., he accepted my case despite the level of difficulty and he took me on because he be.ieved he could help dissipate at least some of the pain I was in from a botched surgery ten years previous. He was concerned and caring and very professional. His staff are wonderful. Patrice is an angel. And though he's known as " God" around the hospital...he was very down to earth with me. I could not be happier with the results, and he was right, a lot of the pain has gone.

My experience with Dr. Williamson has given me a completely new sense of self confidence. I had a very tricky case, and couldn't be happier with the results. I went in to my first consultation with one breast that had not completely developed, leaving it at least one full cup size smaller than my other breast. I left the consultation, and called the next day to schedule my surgery. The surgery would be breast augmentation on the right side, and then a mastopexy on the left. This meant that tissue would be removed from the larger breast until it matched the smaller one, and then two implants of the same size would be put in. The surgery went very well. The pain post surgery was much less than I had anticipated. The first full month and a half after surgery required quite a bit of caution and listening to my body to make sure I wasn't pushing my limits too much too soon. Now, three months post op, I am extremely pleased with my results. The scarring (incisions were circles around the areolae to make the nipples the same size) is barely noticeable to me, and I have no pain whatsoever. I am now back to my regular routine with a completely renewed sense of self confidence.

After years of contemplating a medial thigh lift with lipo I contacted Dr. David Williamson's office. It took me about a year to finally decide that I wanted to carry through with the surgery. I have no regrets whatsoever. Dr.Williamson and his staff were all very helpful and empathetic. It took almost 3 mos. to fully recover from the large surgery and I am so pleased with the results. No, my legs are not perfect now, but patients need to be accountable and realistic with results. I know that I can do some further strengthening to tone and when the time comes I look forward to seeing how my legs will transform even for now. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Williamson to anyone looking for plastic surgery.

My first I traction with this Dr's staff was off putting and then my office visit with him was abrupt and I wasn't feeling very confident but on the day of surgery Dr Williamson was kind and reassuring and I was very pleased the the results of my breast reduction surgery.

I had a face lift after many years of saying I would NEVER do anything so invasive and going in I was very nervous. During my first consultation I was assured by the nurses and Dr. Williamson that this was pretty common place and I felt very confident when I left. I had several months to think this through even though I had a date booked. My pre-op appointment was very thorough will all my questions answered and of course many I had not even thought of. The day of surgery everything went as planned and on schedule. Pre -op and post op care was amazing. All follow up appointments went well; an infection was caught and dealt with quickly. I am still in recovery, just five weeks post but feel that I am progressing as outlined and perhaps even better than I expected. This has been a very positive experience; Dr. Williamson listened to my "wants " and I feel at this point we are well on our way to my anticipated outcome. The staff was so caring, professional and real; from reception, to nurses to OR staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Williamson and his clinic.

This dr needs to learn how to be more sensitive and easier to talk to.. he doesnt seeem like he genuinally cares as much.. its aost like robodoc.. I think he did a good job on my breast reduction but the follow up was late and not clear and I ended up with an infection .. sure I am a smoker but knowing this should have probably given the clue to put me on an antibiotic. I was not checked until day 15 at this time I had already developed an infection.. which caused one of my nipples to sag.. I went to see him and asked him to stitch it back up or staple it.. so it would not heal deformed. He told me to wait and not to do anything. The thing is I knew it would turn out the way it did and now I have a sagged nipple.. which could have been fixed at the time with a fast stitch. I think thats rediculous and a lack of consideration. I am now foing back to be redone to lift that up and fix it.. but I will be seeing a different doctor. one with some more compassion.. so surgery no 2 I will get a different doctor due to this. also the drs that u have to pay for tell u .. to do certain things after surgery vitamin c ect. my girfriend had all that. I was not told any of that. My first followup was 15 days later.. most go in after 8. and could have caught the infection much sooner.. common sense so why not add a bit of attention to your patients after surgery.. or its get paid move on to the next.. I am not happy!

Dr. Willaimson is an awesome doctor. I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in having any type of cosmetic surgery. I have had 3 surgeries and have been more than happy with my results. I have had a breast reduction, tummy tuck and have just had a back lift. On each visit and surgery he has been sensitive to all my concerns and explained all procedures fully. He has helped me obtain my goals and has helped me feel better about myself. I am also very,happy with him and his staff.They are very caring and amazing people. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He is the best!!!

Awesome doctor. No complaints whatsoever....great bedside manner, friendly, knowledgeable....and did a great job on my bilateral breast reconstruction post-mastectomy. Felt like he truly listened to my concerns and tried to accommodate them (within medical reason). Staff was helpful and friendly as well, listened to and addressed concerns and provided resources for support.

From my first consultation with Dr Williamson I felt he was genuine and helpful. I am a healthy active person but was left with a large pannus after losing 30lb. Dr Williamson did not judge and made me feel optimistic he could help me achieve my goal. He took every precaution to ensure I had the best care and healing after performing a fleur de lis tummy tuck and removing 16lb. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and have already recommended him to several close friends. I feel Dr Williamson gave me back my life. I am more than happy with him and his staff as they were all so caring and amazing.

The China-based e-commerce operator recently bought part of Yahoo's stake.
Minority shareholders of Alibaba.com Ltd. today voted in favor of taking the China-based e-commerce operator private, the company announced. The vote comes days after Yahoo Inc. said it would sell part of its stake in parent company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. back to that company.
Alibaba says that 95% of the minority shareholders voted in favor of the company's plan to buy back the 27% of the stock that it does not own. Alibaba will buy back that stock at HK$13.50 (US$1.74) per share. "It is expected that the scheme will become effective on June 19, whereupon Alibaba.com will become a private wholly owned subsidiary of Alibaba Group," the company says in a statement. Trading of the stock on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was suspended today; the company's shares closed at HK$13.42 (US$1.73) yesterday.
Alibaba had previously said that it would have an easier time restructuring the e-commerce company were it private. About a year ago, Alibaba Group announced it would split its Taobao online retail arm into three units.
Earlier this week, Alibaba said it would pay about $7.1 billion in cash and stock to buy out about half of the 40% stake that Yahoo holds in the China-based company. In 2005, Yahoo paid $1 billion for its stake in Alibaba. Alibaba's purchase of Yahoo's stock will be based on a valuation of Alibaba of about $35 billion, the companies said.
Alibaba's Taobao e-marketplace, China's version of eBay.com, had 2010 online sales of 30 billion yuan (US$4.7 billion). Online retail sales in China reached nearly $50 billion in 2010, according to Forrester Research Inc. Alibaba's holdings also include the trading portal Alibaba.com, where retailers from the United States and around the world find and purchase goods and services from suppliers based in China and other countries.

Dr. Cheolwoo Lee, Associate Professor, recently published a singly-authored paper titled "Analyst Firm Parent-Subsidiary Relationship and Conflict of Interest: Evidence from IPO Recommendations" in the September issue of the journal "Accounting and Finance" (Volume. 53, No. 3).
Regarding his article, Dr. Lee said, "Analyst behavior is one of the topics in which I am interested because analysts provide information crucial to investments. When their role as an information provider is not functioning properly, trading behavior by investors who use such biased information will hinder market efficiency, which will ultimately have a disruptive effect to business entities. Therefore it is an interesting issue to investigate whether the PS relationship provides another level of incentive for analyst optimism."
Congratulations Dr. Lee on your publication after 4 long years of work!

Producer Dan Halsted Inks First-Look Development Deal With Fox TV Studios (Exclusive)
The Manage-ment founder has inked a deal with FtvS, with whom he recently made USA pilot "Over/Under."
Fox Television Studios has made another sizable addition to its roster.
Mere weeks after signing both the Weitz brothers and Laurence Fishburne's shingle, the studio behind such series as USA's Burn Notice and AMC's The Killing has inked a first-look development deal with Garden State producer and Manage-ment founder Dan Halsted.
"Dan and I go back years together – he was the studio executive on a movie I produced called The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. Since those days, he's assembled a sensational roster of edgy writers and filmmakers, and he's also proved ingenious at jumpstarting features and television shows," said FtvS president David Madden.
He continued, "Coming off our joint USA pilot, Over/Under, which turned out wonderfully, we all felt we wanted to extend the relationship. We're thrilled to be working with Dan to develop compelling new series with the highly respected writers he is bringing into our fold."
