But sometimes, giving a book says "I want you to have screaming surreal nightmares." What book would you give to someone you wanted to inflict bad dreams on? Please include a picture of the book cover or other representative image. And let us know the title, author, and why it's so nightmare-inducing. Thanks!

The porphyrias represent a heterogeneous group of mainly inherited disorders resulting from deficiencies of specific enzymes in the heme biosynthesis pathway.1, 2 Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is the most common of the 3 autosomal-dominant acute porphyrias and results from a partial deficiency of the ubiquitously expressed enzyme porphobilinogen (PBG) deaminase. Acute attacks are accompanied by the excess production of hepatic porphyrin precursors [PBG and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)], which can be suppressed by the administration of intravenous hemin.
Epidemiological information collected in the United Kingdom as part of a project funded by the European Union Commission Public Health Executive Agency (European Porphyria Network) indicates that on average, 10 new AIP patients (including 8 women) present clinically each year. Approximately 10% of the female patients (and fewer of the male patients) may suffer recurrent acute attacks, which can include life-threatening neurovisceral attacks due to neuronal damage. The exact pathogenesis of the transient neuronal damage has not been established. The proposed mechanisms include ALA toxicity, a relative neuronal heme deficiency, neurotoxic products of ALA, PBG, or both, and a depletion of essential cofactors.3
Because the liver is the major source of excess precursor production,3 liver transplantation (LT) represents a potentially effective treatment. Only a small number of cases of LT for AIP have been reported so far.4-6 Using data from the UK Transplant Registry (which is maintained by National Health Service Blood and Transplant on behalf of transplant services in the United Kingdom and Ireland), we describe a larger national series with longer follow-up (median follow-up time = 23.4 months), and we include the indications and outcomes for all 10 LT procedures performed for AIP in the United Kingdom and Ireland since the first transplant in 2002.

After replacing the MAF sensor and the intake boot this past June, the P1188/9 codes popped up again about a month ago. I was experiencing very rough cold idling and bad hesitation from a dead start. So after replacement of the pre-cat O2 sensors, valve cover gasket and CVV didn't resolve the problems, this past weekend just for yucks I put back in my old MAF sensor and voila problems resolved. Made about a dozen around town trips with no hesitation whatsoever, and no cold start idling problem.
So my original problem back in June turns out to have been just the cracked intake boot.
The replacement MAF was an aftermarket eBay purchase.
Just wanted to pass this along to everyone.

A 2013 Noel-Levitz E-Expectations Report of incoming college students found that 78 percent have regular access to a mobile device. And while that number has probably crept higher for 2014, what about the approximately one in five college students who don't have that access?
For many low-income and first-generation college students, owning a smart phone, tablet or laptop is simply not a reality. What is a reality is that this situation creates educational barriers for these students.
Walk into any high school auditorium, mall or fast food restaurant and see Millennials obsessed with their smartphones, tablets and laptops. But are they really that consumed? In a survey conducted by Intel Labs, 61 percent of young adults believe their relationship with technology is dehumanizing. That statistic is clear to many enrollment managers struggling to increase, or even maintain, enrollment.
Campus leaders are increasingly confronted with transformation—from students acting as consumers to universities acting more like businesses to the rapid evolution of faculty.
Yet perhaps the most prominent change is the proliferation of technology-based learning methods. Online courses have created a new world of education—one where learning can occur anytime and anywhere.
Learn what every higher ed digital analytics professional will soon be talking about.
Members of the facilities crew at Quinnipiac University were spending a lot of time traveling back to their shop during the workday.
This situation, of course, was not unique to Quinnipiac, but department officials at the school set out to eliminate the trips workers had to make to retrieve new work orders, find information about equipment in manuals or look up floor plans. The central Connecticut institution has a 212-acre main campus, and two branches that are a half-mile and about five miles away.
As students rely more on tablets and smartphones to stay connected, universities are under pressure to make student services easily accessible from mobile devices. "In my experience, students arrive on campus expecting the university to be mobile-ready," says Karl Horvath, CIO at Gwynedd Mercy University, a 2,600-student school in Montgomery County, Pa. "Gwynedd Mercy is surrounded by 80 other schools, and we are all competing in the same student market. Meeting mobile expectations is a key tool for recruiting and retaining students."
Part of keeping a campus computer repair center running smoothly is staying aware of what problems are likely to disrupt its operations. Certain best practices have been defined by leaders of highly successful centers; here are seven elements for operating an efficient campus repair center.
The very thought of drone aircraft makes many people uneasy. After all, drones carrying out attacks on terrorist groups and conducting police surveillance have been in the headlines recently.
Now, they are showing up on college and university campuses but, to paraphrase Obi Wan Kenobi, "These are not the drones you are looking for."
For an increasing number of faculty members, class prep has gone high tech. It's not about simply reviewing notes and planning course exercises. It also involves stepping in front of a video camera. Whether it's for distance learning programs or flipped classrooms, colleges and universities now need faculty who are able and willing to teach on camera.
Following are 10 ways to increase the odds of engaging and connecting with students through video.
Since this past fall, incoming freshmen at the 5,000-student University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg have been offered their own domain to create a personal website where they can showcase academic work, share instructors' feedback and link to social media, among other digital activities.
There are options beyond operating a university-owned computer repair center. Outside repair companies operating on campuses can save universities money in technician salaries and center administration costs.
Best Buy's Geek Squad, for example, has run centers on campuses. And the regional tech repair company that operates Harvard's campus repair center is Micros Northeast.
Most of us would agree that Safe Hiring and Safe Contracting programs are an important part of college operations. These issues may become more difficult, though, when they are associated with employee hiring or contractor selection processes and the accompanying consideration of various risks, particularly those related to previous criminal behaviors. It can be further complicated by the fact that access to students, faculty and secure facilities must also be considered in the evaluation.
Preparing to take a college-level course once meant simply heading to the campus bookstore and purchasing the textbook. Today, preparing for a course may require students to gather a wide variety of resources, both printed and digital. And while the printed items are still available at the bookstore, accessing a variety of digital materials is not always an easy task.
In fall 2012, Sage launched the Achieve Degree program, an online degree designed for students on the autism spectrum or with other special needs, who generally work from home or their local library.

Family Feud at Camelback Ranch
Trayce Thompson crushed a towering home run and the White Sox scored five runs in the 6th to overcome a 3-1 deficit, as the Cubs dropped a 7-4 decision to their crosstown rivals in AZ Instructional League action at Camelback Ranch this afternoon.
In Chicago, "Crosstown Classic" means North-side versus South-side, but in Arizona it's East-side (Cubs) versus West-side (Sox) when the two Windy City adversaries clash.
18-year old Reggie Golden (Cubs 2010 2nd round draft pick out of Wetumpka HS - Wetumpka, AL) had an eventful day, dropping a fly ball in RF for a two-base error in the bottom of the 1st inning (his third dropped fly ball in a week), striking out on three pitches (swinging) leading-off the top of the second, and doubling-up a baserunner at 1st base 9-3 to help Austin Reed escape a third inning jam, before launching an opposite-field solo HR--against the wind--in the 5th.
In addition to Golden's HR, Evan Crawford tripled, scored two runs, and stole a base (the speedy Crawford was acquired by the Cubs from SF this past August in the Mike Fontenot deal), and 18-year old Venezuelan bonus baby Willson Contreras mashed a solo HR off the scoreboard beyond the LF fence. But it just wasn't enough.
Cubs 2010 9th round draft pick RHP Kevin Rhoderick (Oregon State) had another fine outing, striking out the side in his one inning of work, as he just blew the Sox hitters away.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1a. Evan Crawford, CF: 1-3 (E5, 4-3, 3B, 2 R, SB)
1b. Xavier Batista, RF: 0-1 (K)
2. Gioskar Amaya, SS: 1-4 (K, K, 1B, K, RBI)
3a. Micah Gibbs, C: 0-3 (4-3, 1-3, F-8)
3b. Max Kwan, C: 0-1 (K)
4. Ryan Cuneo, 1B: 2-4 (1B, F-9, 1B, 4-3, RBI)
5a. Dustin Geiger, 3B: 0-2 (K, F-9)
5b. Willson Contreras, 3B: 1-2 (P-5, HR, RBI, R)
6. Reggie Golden, RF-CF: 1-4 (K, HR, P-6, 6-3, RBI, R)
7. Marco Hernandez, 2B: 0-3 (K, K, K)
8. Chris Huseby, DH #1: 1-2 (2B, K, BB)
9. Delbis Arcila, DH #2: 0-3 (F-8, 4-3, K)
10. Oliver Zapata, LF: 1-3 (6-3, 4-3, 1B)
1. Austin Reed: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 1 K, 46 pitches (29 strikes), 4/2 GO/FO
2. Ben Wells: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 BALK, 13 pitches (6 strikes), 1/2 GO/FO
3. Hunter Ackerman: 1.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R (4 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 26 pitches (17 strikes), 2/1 GO/FO
4. Starling Peralta: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 1 HR, 25 pitches (20 strikes), 1/3 GO/FO
5. Casey Harman: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 10 pitches (9 strikes), 0/1 GO/FO
6. Kevin Rhoderick: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 22 pitches (11 strikes)
1. RF Reggie Golden E-9 (dropped fly ball - two base error allowed batter to reach base)
2. P Hunter Ackerman E-1 (errant pick-off attempt at 1st base - allowed runner to advance to 3rd base)
3. C Max Kwan E-2 (errant throw to 1st base after fielding swinging bunt in front of home plate - allowed batter to reach base - eventually scored unearned run)
Micah Gibbs: 1-2 CS
Max Kwan: 1 E (see above)
Reggie Golden doubled runner off 1st base 9-3 after L-9 out
Oliver Zapata doubled runner off 2nd base 7-4 after L-7 out
ATTENDANCE: 19 (mostly scouts)
WEATHER: Cloudy & breezy, with temperatures in the 80's
Re: Family Feud at Camelback Ranch
Micah Gibbs hasn't done anything statistically since signing that would indicate he can hit a lick. Please tell me he looks better than his record indicates. Also, I probably missed this but who is Max Kwan and where did ne come from?
Re: Family Feud at Camelback Ranch
Very informative, as always
Re: Family Feud at Camelback Ranch
5. Casey Harman: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 10 pitches (9 strikes), 0/1 GO/FO
Casey looks real good on paper, how about in person?
Re: Family Feud at Camelback Ranch
PHIL: I believe you had addressed this before, but are there "stoppages of play" in the AZL for "teaching moments"? Or are things status quo?
Re: Family Feud at Camelback Ranch
not surprisingly, Rangers DFA Rich Harden

he didn't make their ALDS roster, then whammo.
I see towel drills in his future.
Re: Family Feud at Camelback Ranch
As always, great stuff AZ Phil. I have a quick question about Ben Wells. Has he maintained his improved stuff from his senior year? If I recall correctly, he was a 89-90 mph guy with a decent secondary offering the summer before his senior year. However, reports were that he added about 4-5 mph on his fastball his senior year, to where his was sitting 92-93, while routinely touching 95. Is Wells still enjoying that type of fastball velocity? Thanks in advance.

The floor is more valuable than the ceiling. It's the same reason we drafted Kris Bryant instead of Jon Gray.
Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...

ON THE ROAD; Pocket-Size Providence, Built of Hope
By R. W. APPLE Jr.
Published: April 24, 1998
PROVIDENCE, R.I.— Lord Bryce, the English traveler, suggested that Providence might become the first American city-state. That never quite happened, but the city's name is embedded in the state's official title, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and it's hard to separate them.
Neither is big. The state, covering 1,214 square miles, is the nation's smallest; a bumptious Texas Governor suggested that his state could wear Rhode Island as a watch fob. The city, founded by Roger Williams as a refuge for religious dissenters, is an urban pipsqueak with only 170,000 people.
But big things have happened hereabouts. In 1793, the Industrial Revolution came to America in Pawtucket, just north of Providence, when Samuel Slater reproduced from memory Richard Arkwright's water-powered spinning frame, on which he had worked in England. You can visit the restored Slater's Mill, a frame building that looks more like a farm shed than an industrial landmark.
Some of the loot from that revolution made its way a century later to Newport, south of here, where robber barons with names like Belmont and Vanderbilt built summer palaces along the sea and called them ''cottages.'' For sheer, unmitigated ostentation, they have seldom been matched. You can visit those, too.
Providence maintains its patrician traditions. For nearly two centuries, the Five Families -- Browns, Metcalfs, Goddards, Lippitts and Chafees -- have played prominent roles in the city's life. Today, John Chafee is one of Rhode Island's two United States senators, a Republican from an overwhelmingly Democratic state.
No city has a snootier social redoubt than the Hope Club, where even the servants seem extravagantly well mannered, and no city has a finer collection of Colonial and Federal houses than those on the ''mile of history,'' along Benefit Street between Church and Transit Streets. One immaculately restored building marches beside another, each one somehow perfect for its site.
The arts are well supported here. Since 1964, Providence has had one of the nation's top regional theaters, the Trinity Repertory Company, whose artistic director, Oskar Eustis, commissioned the Pulitzer Prize-winning ''Angels in America'' from Tony Kushner. The museum at the Rhode Island School of Design houses a collection of comprehensible size but global reach. Among its treasures are superb examples of furniture by several of the great Newport cabinetmakers, including Job Townsend and his son-in-law John Goddard.
But the city also has a less noble face. Since early times, it has been a school for scandal.
Cotton Mather, that stiff-necked old Puritan, called Rhode Island ''the sewer of New England,'' and George Washington accused it of ''impolitic, unjust -- and one might add, without much impropriety -- scandalous conduct.'' In 1904, the muckraker Lincoln Steffens wrote in McClure's Magazine that ''Rhode Island is a state for sale, cheap.'' Some people call it Rogues' Island.
In the last 15 years alone, the careers of two Governors, a Chief Justice and a prominent Congressman have been marred by their lofty inattention to the ethical niceties.
Which brings us to Buddy, more formally known as Mayor Vincent A. Cianci Jr. First elected in 1974, he was convicted in 1984 of roughing up a man he suspected of sleeping with his estranged wife; witnesses said he stubbed out a cigarette in the eye of his victim, Raymond DeLeo, a wealthy contractor, and beat him with an ashtray and a log. He served five years' probation, working as a radio talk-show host, and swept back into office in 1991.
Shrewd, gregarious and hard as nails, a tireless promoter and reshaper of Providence, His Honor gives his constituents both bread and circuses. If sleaze remains a local art form, well, nobody gets very upset. Perhaps Roger Williams's sermons on tolerance have echoed down the generations. A. J. Liebling, who began his journalistic career here, wrote about his days in Providence, ''There was nothing you could do about anything, but then nothing was so bad that you felt a burning urge to do anything about it.''
Those Busy Browns
In a real sense, the history of Providence is the history of the Brown family, descendants of the Rev. Chad Browne, who arrived here in 1638 with his wife and 8-year-old son, John, ''for reasons of conscience.''
More than a century later, in 1775, one of his great-great-grandsons, Joseph Brown, designed the First Baptist Meeting House, a harmonious Georgian structure with a 185-foot steeple. He modeled the church, which houses the oldest Baptist congregation in the United States, after a design in James Gibbs's Book of Architecture, published in England in 1728; it resembles St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London, Gibbs's most famous building.
The austere interior, filled with box pews and dominated by an 18th-century Waterford crystal chandelier, is surprisingly spacious. It was built to hold 1,200 people (at a time when the colony numbered 4,321 inhabitants!).
Joseph Brown had three brothers, John, Nicholas and Moses; the four were known as Nicky, Josey, Johnny and Mosey. All were astute businessmen who manufactured pig iron and spermaceti candles and grew rich in the Triangle Trade that linked New England, the West Indies and West Africa in the traffic of molasses, rum and slaves. Rhode Island was one of the headquarters of the slave trade, but in 1771, Moses, a Quaker altruist, freed his own chattels; partly as a result, John withdrew from the family firm. After the Revolution, John was one of only five members of Congress to vote against the abolition of the slave trade.

Eugene Peterson once said that ministry often reinforces inattentiveness to Christ. Ironically, that is rarely more true than at Christmas time, when the rest of the world is most likely to attend to him.
A friend of mine—a shrewd observer of ministry who I will call Cleveland but whose real name is Dallas—recently made this comment about church ministry that rattled me: "Given the contents of the New Testament, one might expect local congregations of Christians to be entirely devoted to the spiritual formation of those in attendance. What we actually find in most cases is constant distraction from this as the central task: By the demands of the organization; and by the requirements of our 'faith and practice'—our traditions. Often there is the recognition that what we wind up 'having to do' is not what we really feel it should all be about."
(This from Dallas Willard's general musings that get typed up and taught some place but will probably never be published, and which are worth more than 99 percent of the stuff that actually does get published.)
This got me to thinking. Particularly about how I spend my time, and how others on church staffs spend their time. I have been doing church ministry for a long time now, and while I can waste time with the best of them, I do have a pretty good sense for how it gets spent. Here are my observations:
—Lots of time gets spent on "programs." This includes services that require messages to be prepared, music to be selected, stories to be told, segues to be segued, lights and sound and instruments and collection baskets. This can all be good stuff, but sometimes it feels more like Lucy and Ethel trying to wrap candy as it speeds by on the conveyor belt than like helping Christ be formed in people.
—Lots of time gets spent on planning stuff. This too can be good, and at its best can be creative and energizing. But all too often the unstated goal is: How can we get more people to come out to more events? Getting more people to our events is how we feel we demonstrate our success and worth. This is why there is often an unspoken but palpable perception on staff that the church is really an extension of leadership ego.
—Lots of time gets spent evaluating stuff. But rarely is the evaluation centered around whether or not Christ was more deeply formed in people. Or whether he was more deeply formed in us. More often it's around categories of execution, excellence, efficiency, and whether or not we got enough people to participate in it.
—Lots of attention and energy gets devoted to numbers: attendance and/or giving. We often don't necessarily want this to be the case. But our emotions seemed attached in ways that may not be healthy but are hard to re-direct.
So my ministry partner/friend Blues and I are spending more time these days thinking about what it might look like to be "entirely devoted to the spiritual formation of those in attendance."
Gary Moon is doing wonderful work alongside Dallas and others to look at how spiritual formation takes place in our day, informed by ancient wisdom. We're trying to see how we might incorporate this wisdom and these practices into a group of staff who signed on not for courses in spiritual direction but for work on a church staff—yet who need to begin by having Christ formed in us.
We're talking with Gary Hamel—who gave a phenomenal talk at the Leadership Summit a year and a half ago—about how a church might be able to reinvent itself; in particular how can we "do Jesus" instead of "doing church."

Alert SVU. Of course, not all rapists use condoms, but many do in order to avoid leaving DNA evidence or even protect themselves against STDs, and the study out of Sheffield Hallam University indicates that using condoms is actually on the rise. The condom is often disposed of, of course, but can leave a trace behind on one's fingerprint. Researchers have just figured out how to identify it. (Have we been watching too much television or does this seem like something that should have already existed?) Here's how it works. The process utilizes MALDI-MSI, or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry imaging – this allows for the analysis of fragile molecules, that fragment when subjected to more conventional ionization techniques. The Sheffield team previously researched the use of this same technology for mapping fingerprint ridge patterns. They were able to identify lubricant residue that was a few weeks old. Of course, that would probably complicate a case, since a suspect could plausibly have handled a condom on another occasion since then. Still, researchers are hoping to make it more precise — down to the brand or manufacturer.

Being a rabid Kouhei Tanaka fan, I hunted down this album after reading that it was composed by Kouhei Tanaka. Unfortunately, I had been misled. Tanaka had only composed the vocal theme song; the rest was done by a relatively unknown composer. So here I was, stuck with another obscure album that I may or may not enjoy.
Well, as it turns out, I didn't enjoy it very much. Not only were my expectations let down regarding the composer, but the music itself was fairly bland. Even the vocal song, which was Tanaka's contribution, was only moderately good. It's a fairly cheesy pop ending song, with a nice Engrish refrain "Wings of your heart" to go out on the chorus.
As for the other songs, listen to the samples. Those songs were the very best I could find, so if they don't impress you, nothing on this album will. So, for you Tanaka collectors, don't even bother with this album: what you're looking for is the even more obscure vocal album for this game. I believe Tanaka had some more contributions to that album, though I doubt that one is any good either.

The investing strategies of Warren Buffet, the billionaire investor dubbed the Oracle of Omaha, have long been the focus of admirers and competitors alike. His immense wealth comes from the shares he owns in Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), the holding company he has helmed since the 1960s. Because Buffett owns 23% of the economic interest of Berkshire, examining the shares owned by the company is the easiest way to see what stocks Buffett thinks are worth investing in.
There are several ways that investors may want to slice and dice the list of Berkshire Hathaway's, and by extension Warren Buffett's, holdings: value of shares held, the percentage stake in the company the holding represents, and the number of shares held.
Holding Value
As of July 2014, the value of publicly listed shares held by Berkshire Hathaway exceeded $100 billion. Its largest holding was in Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC), a financial firm, with its 463 million shares valued at $23 billion (as of July 2014). Its second largest holding is in The Coca-Cola Company (KO), a global beverage manufacturer, with 400 million shares valued at $15.7 billion. Its third largest holding is in American Express Company (AXP), a global financial company, with 151 million shares valued around $13.3 billion.
Largest Stake
Investors may also consider the size of the stake Berkshire owns in each company. It has a 30% stake in USG Corporation (USG), a building material manufacturing and distribution company; a 17.5% stake in DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (DVA); a 14.3% stake in American Express Company; and an 11.5% stake in Moody's (MCO).
While the 30% stake Berkshire has in USG Corporation represents a substantial commitment, the value of these shares is only 1% of the value of all of the public companies that Berkshire has investments in.
Number of Shares Held
All told, Berkshire owns more than 1.6 billion shares in publicly traded companies. Sixty percent of the shares – over one billion – are concentrated in three companies: Wells Fargo & Co. (463 million shares), The Coca-Cola Company (400 million shares), and American Express Company (151 million). These three companies also happen to represent the three companies that have the highest value in Berkshire's portfolio, coming in at $52.6 billion.

Needed a weekend get-away. Flew up from Virginia. Was going to land on their grass strip but had been raining so too wet. Landed at nearby airport. Ash and Celeine, the owners, offered to pick us up. They prepared dinner as well as breakfast. Both were the best respective meals I can recall having. Ash is an outstanding cook. They are both very welcoming and made the whole experience very relaxing and memorable. Watched the sunrise from their Jacuzzi with a cup of very fine coffee. We highly recommend Skyfall highly if you need a few days of being quiet relaxation and interesting conversation. Walked their runway and it is in good shape and if dry would be good enough for my Beechcraft Bonanza and about any GA airplane.

We stayed here for our 10th and 15th Anniversary! This place has beautiful handcrafted furniture, (especially the huge picnic bench!), great sunrises and sunsets, delicious meals, and wonderful hospitality! The hot tub was very relaxing! And I even went skydiving! Thank you Ash and Celeine!

My girlfriend and I stayed at Oz's for a night and it was an incredible experience. The food was absolutely divine, especially the morning picked fresh egg omelet. The house itself is beautiful and the hand carved bed was a nice touch. The salt water hot tub was very relaxing. Would recommend staying here to everyone and anyone.

From the moment we arrived ("herded" to the door by Pumpkin the border collie), we were made to feel both welcome and at home. Ash and Celine are the real deal - great folks with big hearts and open minds. The rooms are wonderful, and the furniture crafted by Ash is perfect for them. We stayed in the Cherry room, but all of them are lovely. The place is surrounded by hills and this fabulous fog comes in early morning & burns off. There isn't a bad view in the place. Ash's breakfasts are to die for...and, if you don't take up on dinner, you're making a SERIOUS mistake. This man knows his food. If the season is right (we were there in July), you'll get to tandem skydive if you feel so inclined. If not, you have the hot tub, the sauna, the animals, the land complete with a pond, stream, field rife with bobolinks, meadowlarks and hawks, stars....it's all more than good. You can have great company or be off by yourselves. We're going back in October. I left a shirt there....now there's an excuse...

Four-hundred years ago Henry Hudson discovered what is now known as the East River. Then the Dutch founded the colony New Amsterdam and New York City was born. To celebrate the city's landmark birthday, the Museum of the City of New York has compiled over 500 illustrations and photographs of the city's rich past, along with detailed passages about the changes New York has gone through in its 400 years, from colonial port village, the bustling Revolutionary town. This coffee table book is a must-gift for any New Yorker who brags about their city, and for any tourist who won't stop talking about the bus tour they took through the Upper East Side.

Simba Energy of Canada Signs Production Sharing Deal With Kenya
Simba Energy Inc., a Canadian oil and gas explorer focusing on Africa, said it had entered a production sharing agreement with Kenya for an exploration block in the country's northeast.
The British Columbia-based company said securing Block 2A, which stretches over 7,802 square kilometers (3,012 square miles), corresponds with its plan to pursue "underexplored and overlooked onshore basins in Africa," according to a statement on its website yesterday.
Existing two-dimensional seismic data and other evidence indicates the area has an "excellent potential for significant oil and gas discoveries," according to the statement. The company will begin "baseline" environmental studies before beginning to acquire new seismic data, it said.
Simba Energy is also searching for oil and gas in the West African nations of Liberia, Guinea, Mali and Ghana, among other places on the continent, the statement said.
Dominion Petroleum Ltd. said on Aug. 1 it was granted rights to explore Block L15 in Kenya's Lamu Basin, in a two-year agreement committing it to spend at least $2.85 million.

The canal is the great apartment between Anne Frank House and the Leidseplein.
75 m2, Vide with beautiful bedrooms overlooking Amsterdam and the Westertoren.
Right in the center, full of private and yet relax!
Good Bonen coffee included !!
The pictures of the apartment to complement the words: A modern, luxury apartment for the guests to enjoy themselves what.
Since 2009 Holiday-right member: www. vacation-direct. de / 529526
Kees' place is a fantastic apartment, great views, nice artwork and comfortable furnishings. We had friends over to enjoy the view before and after dinners, great location for entertaining. Very comfortable bed, good coffee maker, large fridge, dishwasher. Everything perfect for an extended stay. Owner was available to deal with any issues we had and arranged a great private canal tour (2 hours for €45pp) with very nice food and beer and wine. Smaller boat so could take us to locations we wanted to see from the water (like Brouwerij 't IJ.) There's a great steak/fish restaurant on the ground floor (Venus and Adonis) and an excellent Thai place just two blocks away (Rakang.) Wish we could have stayed longer.
My wife and I stayed for one week in the canal apartment and would highly recommend it to those looking for a comfortable setting in an ideal location of Amsterdam. Overlooking the charming canal from the top floor living room is great, but then scale up to the bedroom loft and you feel as if you've arrived onto the movie set of Fiddler on the Roof. The view is higher than the chimney's themselves with a perfect scenic view of Amsterdam!
Beyond the ambiance, we found the hospitality to be attentive and genuine. Kees went out of his way to make sure everything was just so and the communication, arrival/exit logistics were handled on par with many of the luxury resorts we have stayed at in our past. We left with new friends and fond stories we had not anticipated.
Sincerely > Matt & Krissi
Atlanta, Georgia
This was my first time in Amsterdam and this property was just perfect for the short stay! Kees was so welcoming and met us with an apple pie. The apartment is very clean and is exactly how it looks in the pictures. The views from the living area and bedroom are beautiful! Beware of the extremely small elevator: only allowed 1 person & bag at check in. The apartment is about a 10 min walk to the Ann Frank House and about 20 min walk to the Van Gogh. Conveniently located to great food and shopping! I highly suggest taking the boat tour with Kees' friend Jan! You receive a private boat tour equipped with wine and cheese! Way better than being packed 100 to a boat. This is where you want to stay!!
My husband and I spent 2 nights at this lovely and spacious apartment in late June. We highly recommend it and will try to stay here again on our next visit to Amsterdam. The location is great - right on the Prinsengracht and centrally located. The apartment itself is modern and beautiful - it's on the 5th floor with an elevator and the elevator opens right into the apartment (it's a keyed elevator so no concerns about security). It has a modern and well equipped kitchen, a nice dining table and a small but nice seating area as a living room, right next to the very large windows that open onto the Prinsengracht and let in a lot of wonderful light. The views of the canal and street scene are lovely. The bedroom is up a flight of stairs (steep stairs but that's how Amsterdam is!). It is also spacious with a very comfortable bed and a large sliding glass door that offers great views of the Amsterdam rooftops. The bathroom is also modern and very spacious. We just loved it!
The apartment was very clean and Kees was very responsive to our emails.
Also very good is the Venus and Adonis restaurant on the street level of this building - great food and service, with really nice people. All in all we highly recommend this apartment.
Loved the every second of our stay at this place. Perfect Location!
Ideal location on fifth floor above a swanky restaurant, quiet neighborhood of residential, delicious restaurants and quaint shops, market around the corner, with the daily activity of canal boats and bicyclists for entertainment. Apartment was perfectly equipped with all the necessities, but we especially liked the fabulous frothy strong coffee maker and the rarified elevator!
Thanks for your hospitable welcome to Amsterdam and all its charms!
Perfect central location in the heart of the historic center of Amsterdam, Prinsengracht Jordaan with magnificent unobstructed views of the canal!
An oasis of calm and private in the center!
The 'Grachtengürt' is on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2010.
All that Amsterdam has to offer is on short walking distance!
Museums, shopping, convenience, Vondelpark.
A 5-minute walk from Dam Square,
An 8-minute walk from Leidseplein.

Local News
Severe Weather Spotter Class Held in Salem Thursday
"We've had a constant roller coaster of temperatures. We're just not seeing the precipitation; that was the left over effects of the drought. We've noticed here within the past couple of weeks that the pattern seems to be changing just a bit and we're starting to see more precipitation", said Britt.
While Britt says there are no real strong indication that the drought pattern that hit the area last summer will continue, there is nothing in the weather pattern that would rule out the possibility either. Britt outlined the type of thunderstorms that can spawn severe weather.
He notes in addition to tornadoes, squall lines have produced winds of over 100 miles per hour on occasion. Britt noted the importance of spotters in confirming on the ground what they are seeing on radar. He pursued meteorology as a career after becoming fascinated with the weather growing up on a farm two miles east of Patoka.

Product Description
From Amazon
The more researchers understand about the link between nutritious eating and robust good health, the more impressed they are by the disease-fighting powers packed into the foods we eat. Tapping into society's move toward self-care and increased responsibility for our own health, Leslie Beck's Nutrition Encyclopedia is a timely and informative resource. Beck, a registered dietician, isn't interested in fads or gimmicks; she presents sound, credible, up-to-date information on the more than 45 nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy. "You probably never thought that your afternoon cup of orange pekoe was a source of healthy antioxidants," writes Beck. "Tea, as a plant food, contains natural chemicals that act as antioxidants. The antioxidants in tea leaves belong to a special class of compounds called catechins. By mopping up harmful free radical molecules in the body, catechins in tea may protect your blood cholesterol and your cells' genetic material from damage." Beck also surveys the latest research on 75 medical conditions--from the common cold to coronary heart disease--and outlines causes, conventional treatments, and dietary strategies for managing them. The Nutrition Encyclopedia offers valuable advice on making the most of the foods we eat. --Carolyn Leitch --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Chevron (NYSE:CVX) will report Q1 earnings Friday, and we expect results to be in line with its interim update, which forecast a jump in earnings because of higher oil prices and a rebound in refining margins. Oil prices rose last quarter because of tightening sanctions against Iran and improvements in the economic outlook in the U.S. Upstream earnings were slightly tempered by low natural gas prices in the U.S. Downstream earnings will also show an improvement because of higher refining volumes. Rival ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) reported a drop in quarterly earnings earlier this week because of a fall in output. We have a $109 price estimate for Chevron, which is at a 5% premium to its current market price.
Click here for our full analysis of Chevron.
Upstream earnings
- Chevron Q1 Earnings: Revenues And Earnings Suffer, Cash Outflows Still Greater Than Inflows, Company Cuts Capex
- How Are Chevron's Revenue & EBITDA Composition Expected To Change By 2020?
- By What Percentage Can Chevron's Revenues Grow Over the Next Five Years?
- How Has Chevron's Revenue Composition Changed In The Last Five Years?
- What Has Led To More Than A 30% Decline In Chevron's Revenues & EBITDA In The Last Five Years?
- What Is Chevron's Fundamental Value Based On Expected 2016 Results?
Overall, upstream earnings are expected to remain robust because of high oil prices. Although Chevron's production volumes showed a slight decline according to its interim earnings, the impact will be offset by higher commodity prices. Oil output in the U.S. showed a slight increase, rising to 450 MBD from 447 MBD in Q4 2011. (See: Chevron's Interim Q1 Report Shows Higher Profit On Oil Prices; Refining Margins Improve)
International output fell in the same period, partially because of the suspension of operations in the Frade deepwater fields in Brazil. The impact of the suspension will be more pronounced in Q2 this year as the company will loose close to 33,000 barrels of daily production as the fields are closed for safety inspections.
Results will be slightly impacted by the low gas prices in the U.S. The company's realizations from natural gas fell by almost 25% in the North American region in Q1, as the mild winter exacerbated the oversupply situation. Internationally, natural gas prices showed a rise in the last quarter. The company's earnings will also be pushed up because of lower operational expenses.
Downstream earnings are set to rebound in Q1 because of improving margins as well as higher refinery volumes. The last quarter saw an improvement in refining margins as excess capacity went offline early last quarter in response to high retail gasoline prices impacting demand. Chevron will also book $200 million in Q1 profits in relation to an asset sale in Spain in the period.
