Federal Medical Center - FMC Rochester Information
Hello everyone,
Someone please help me. I am new to the forum and am in dire need of some information on (Federal Medical Center) Rochester, Minnesota. Please, please, I really need to know what the scoop is on the place from the inmates position. Someone dear to us is on his way there for 8 months.
Has anyone been there? Please, any information at all will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply! Unfortunatly, I have already been through all of the sites on the internet concerning FMC Rochester. What I am really looking for is what the place is really like from an insiders perspective. I appreciate anything you can offer.

Paralegal123, This is where my fiance is now. By now you may have already found out more info but he calls me regularly and says it is a very nice place and he is treated well so far. He has been there for several months and is serving 15 years unless his resentencing helps us out. I have heard nothing bad from him about this place. Except it's cold! LOL He is cold natured anyway being from the south originally. He even talked about getting to watch new movies on the weekends. If there is anything in particular you want to know I can ask him. Hope this helps a little.

My husband is just started his sentance at the FMC
Hi my name Sheila and I just brought my husband to the FMC in Rochester,MN. I don't have any information yet but I will be visiting as soon as I possibly can. My probation officer use to work there and told me that its better than most. She said that the inmates there that have been somewhere else know they have it good there. And because of this inmates don't usually cause alot of trouble either. If you want I can get back to you after my first visit. I will be talking to him if you have any questions you want me to ask.

Hi I just found this forum and this is my first time here. I dropped my boyfriend and also the father of my 5 year old son at Rochester Medical Center on December 1st, 2005. He started his 21 month sentence. It was the hardest day of my life walking away from someone you love and you wont be able to kiss, hold his hand or even call him on the phone whenever you needed to hear from him. I made it through a whole month and still having some bad days. Thank goodness for my family who I live with now who has been a great help with our son and great support for me. I have visited my boyfriend 2 times this month. The first time I went there to visit I was little nervous and didn't know what to expect. The visiting room is an open room were you can hold hands and be able to have some physical contact with them while visiting. My first visit there I visited him for about 3 hours. They also have some vending machines for people to have coffee, soda, and get something to eat. The place looks real clean and the guards seem real nice and polite to the visitors and the inmates. My boyfriend says its not bad at all and has been participating in some guitar classes and is looking to get a job there. He also says that in alot of ways its better then county jail. Also I have a question has anyone hear more about the H.R.3072 Bill that is in the legislative to see if it will pass to reinstate federal parole. If anyone has I would love to get some updates. I am praying everyday that it will pass. If anyone needs more information about how the Rochester FMC is I will be happy to get any information.

I just thought I would pass on what I have heard about the FMC in Rochester. I grew up in Rochester and a friend of mine that I went to school with has been a guard there since it opened. According to him, the prisoners there are all treated wonderfully. They all get medical treatment from doctors and specialists from the world renouned Mayo Clinic It is very rare that there is ANY violence at all. They even have a little putting green for phys theapy in the summer and many things to do in the winter. The FMC is even more relaxed than the Fed Prison Camps which I am finding out that if you have to be in prison, that is where you want to be. The old evangilist Jimmy Baker was there for his sentence. Do you live close to Rochester? If not, it is a nice clean city to live in, you might want to consider moving there. I am sorry I can't help more with this but this site is great and I am sure you will be getting more responses soon.

Its funny revisiting this thread after posting in it back in 2006 when I was on my way to Rochester! Wow, its been quite a ride. But I do have alot to say about FMC Rochester...
First, please don't believe anything that anyone says when they say "I've heard" or "a friend said" or my favorite, "a guard I know that works there", and they proceed to tell you what a country club the prison in question is. I heard all the good things that was said about Rochester too, and some of it, in fact, is true. Yea, there is some really good selling points for Roch. But there is alot of negative points too. And I plan to debunk all the myths about Roch. in this thread.
Its next to the MAYO clinic and the inmates get better care than regular law abiding people!
While its true, the Mayo clinic is practically next door, the much vaunted medical treatment is a myth. Sure, some inmates receive treatment there, but not all, and only in very specific circumstances. Also, Mayo gives Roch. a "wish list" of what they need "practice" on for their medical students...yes, Roch inmates are guinea pigs for Mayo interns and thats a fact. When i was there, they wanted "knees" to operate on...didn't matter what was wrong, but if you had a knee issue, the Roch "docs" recommended surgery. So theres your great Mayo treatment.
*Interesting side note, and not sure who knows this, but FMC Rochester has "secret" tunnels underneath the facility that go all the way to the Mayo clinic, almost a mile away. I've been down there, and i've seen them, endless tunnels, going in all directions. I was told that sometimes they use them to transport high profile inmates to Mayo for treatment...
The food is good!
For the most part, the food was good at Rochester. Sure, there were meals, and on a regular basis, that were bad, but the portions were large, they had a salad bar, various beverages to choose from up until about the time I left, then they only had bland tea for weeks on end in the drink machines at mainline. On the 4th of July, the food was flat out delicious. I couldn't believe how good it was. Inmates got extra time to prepare the food and you couldn't complain. Now this was before they switched to the national menu, where all facilities eat the same thing every day, but I caught the tail end of "pride in the kitchen" and a bit of creative license. Rochester has a pretty good commisary selection as well, lots to choose from, and when combined with mainline food, you could eat pretty well overall.
Staff is wonderful, they are nice to the inmates at Rochester!
Its like this, just as you have asshole inmates, you have cool inmates too. Admin staff were mostly jerks. Medical staff, on the other hand, was a mix. You had some genuinely nice people that treated inmates like people, and you had some that hated inmates and was just there to collect a check. My real complaint was with the admin staff and the teams. My team consisted of Counselor Lewis, a drunken loser that routinely shirked his job responsibilities and gave inmates the run-around. My case manager, ms. Hahn, a two-faced, lying bitch that told you one thing, and did the exact opposite only to leave you stuck in a situation. The unit manager was ok, but clueless and ineffective. The guards varied. There were a couple notorious guards that all inmates feared or dreaded, the one that comes to mind first was known as "Cowboy", and then there was the "Count Nazi" in the hospital. Some guards were indifferent, some were too gung ho, but I don't remember any that were "cool".
The main thing to know is that the admin staff has been used to preferential treatment in the BOP for a long time, they value their "gem" of the BOP title and they think they are special. They also run the place like a little private kingdom, and if you try to do anything they don't "normally do", you will run into big problems. One doctor told me, off the record of course, that medical inmates files and petitions and bps routinely get filed in the trash...they do it on a whim, or simply to prevent you from getting ahead in your endeavor. He told me that was happening to me as well. That made me fight all the harder against them, and in the end, I won. I proved to them I was eligible and qualified for RDAP, then I made them transfer me to a camp so I could take it. They said that hasn't happened in 20 years...
they told me that at my last team meeting
, days before I was transferred via medical jet to CO. They were not happy. I didn't gloat, although I wanted to. I discovered how petty and vindictive they are there early on, so I didn't want to provoke them now that I had won. IF your a medical inmate, be prepared to fight for your RDAP if you want it or are eligible for it. It won't be easy. They actually have routine tricks they use on inmates to foil their attempts and progress towards RDAP, I've seen them do it to others...
I'll cont. this later, hope this helps someone going there..

hey sandwiches,
i was there from july 06-oct 07.
cowboy was a prick. there was also the c/o for 2-1 i cant remember her name. short butch hair, nazi. i feel like she was transferred or made lt though in late 07.
there was only one "cool" c/o but i don't remember his name either. and it probably wouldnt be doing him any favors to give it out on here anyway. i remember a few occasions with him. another inmate and i had a bet for 2 books that a certain movie wasn't based on anything real. this officer let us stand behind him in the office and he googled information about it until the bet was settled.
another time he walked in in the middle of a poker game, and he was just made some comment about "you better hope youre not bluffing!" "whos winning?"
also bartlow or barlow on 2-2 was pretty relaxed. he was cool in the way that if you didnt make any trouble for him he didnt give a damn.

Want some cheese with that wine?
Mr. 2Sandwiches-
You sound like a whiner and carrying on like this makes inmates look bad--I guess that's the difference between a convict and an inmate. Had you done time anywhere else you'd know how good you had it there. YOU WERE IN PRISON! It's not supposed to be fun. They're GUARDS! They aren't supposed to be your friends or be cool. I wonder what you learned about yourself during your last bit? How did you change? What are your dreams?

Police / Guard / Correction Officer Bashing:
While we encourage full disclosure, investigation and the sharing of relevant information relating to abuses by Institutional staff (management, guards, jailers, CO's,etc), blatant and unprovoked bashing of these people is not allowed. Please refrain from derogatory name calling as well. Further, it is a violation of PTO membership to go to any forum or site (ETC) where Correctional Officers are known to congregate and incite problems that may follow you back to the PTO website. If it is found that any member of PTO has gone to another website and created a problem, that then follows them back to our community, that member will be banned immediately.

"Calvin Coolidge" by David Greenberg , part of the American Presidents series, illustrates the story of another lesser-known president. Greenberg details Coolidge's rise to political power from Governor of Massachusetts to Vice President to President. Known as "Silent Cal," Greenberg shows how Coolidge's silence worked to his advantage, even citing an instance when Coolidge states that a president's words are powerful and should be used infrequently. His approach to the presidency is also shown fascinatingly in his decision not to run for reelection in 1928 because it would mean he would have been president for 10 years, which, in his opinion, was too long for anyone to be in Washington.

The Adult Reading Club kicked off earlier this week, but the clubs for babies, kids and teens kick-off today. Summer reading is a great time to share books and conversation with the whole family. As an added incentive to get your kids signed-up, the library is waiving fines for preschoolers-teens entering 12th who register for summer reading club! Details about the library's summer reading clubs can be found here. Not sure what to read? Ask a staff member or check our blogs for inspiration, we have one for adults, kids and teens. Happy reading!

The years following the collapse of the Roman Empire were stressful ones for Europe, leading many to think that the end of the world was quickly approaching. In "The Forge of Christendom," Tom Holland describes how this feeling of imminent apocalypse drove the development of medieval Europe over a period of several centuries. He discusses political, military, and religious developments and how each affected the others, even to the point of extrapolating the consequences of medieval history to more current events, in some cases. More interestingly, Holland's discussion of medieval history does not just focus on the usual historical players (England, France, etc.), but even takes a look at Icelandic and Visigothic events of the time. While many historical books mention an event and its consequences going forward, this book also gives the lead-up to many well-known events, such as the Battle of Hastings and the Council of Claremont.
--Michael B., Jamestown Bluffs Branch
Some movies are so bad they're good and some movies are so bad they're just laughable. The long lamented television show, "Mystery Science Theater 3000" made an art form out of mocking bad movies. Under the premise of being trapped in space and forced to watch bad movies, the show's host and his robot pals would verbally pick apart some of the worst movies ever filmed. Some bad movies are a bit more ripe for the riffing and four of the classic shows are found on "The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection. Volume 2."
Episode 1 is a gem of the "Charlie's Angels" variety. To avenge the beat down suffered by her drug buying younger brother, a budding singing sensation recruits several sexy young women to band together and fight the pushers. Not since "The Love Boat" have there been so many fine cameos in one production: Jack Palance, Peter Lawford, Jim Backus, Arthur Godfrey and Alan Hale, Jr. It's like "Fantasy Island" for the big screen - and I mean that as a compliment.
Best Coast is a newer band that sounds a lot like Neko Case and Rilo Kiley.
A whimsical tale that dances back and forth in time during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, "The Night Circus" is the story of the magical and mysterious "Le Cirque des Rêves," which translates from French as "The Circus of Dreams."
Conceived by the eccentric theatrical producer Chandresh Christophe Lefèvre, "Le Cirque des Rêves" takes on a life of it's own at the hands his assistant, Marco Alistair, and the show's illusionist, Celia Bowen. Though nobody directly involved with the show knows it, the circus is a venue for a great competition between the young magicians Marco and Celia... one that they were bound to in childhood. As the two try to outdo one another with enchanting circus attractions, they inevitably fall in love, neither knowing that the exhausting game can only end with one of their deaths. As the competition wears on and the circus grows in popularity, Marco and Celia are not the only ones who's lives are in peril.
One great thing about living in St. Louis is the access to so much beautiful green space. From tidy urban parks covering one city block to huge conservation areas of over a thousand acres, the St. Louis area offers ample opportunities for outdoor enjoyment.
Many of these treasures are featured in the new book "St. Louis Parks" by NiNi Harris and Esley Hamilton. Produced by local publisher Reedy Press, the book features full color photographs, a brief history, and basic statistics on parks in the city and county.
NiNi Harris, who has written many books on St. Louis history and neighborhoods, wrote the descriptions of the parks in St. Louis City. Esley Hamilton, preservation historian for the St. Louis County Department of Parks and Recreation, provides the text for the county parks. Mark Abeln and Steve Tiemann are responsible for the outstanding photography.
"Carte Blanche" continues the James Bond legacy with quick wit and fast women. Author Jeffrey Deaver follows the path Ian Fleming started years ago, sending James Bond to risk his life and save the world, not missing a chance to romance ladies along the way. Similar to Fleming's style, fast-paced with concrete prose, the story starts with a train derailment in the Balkans, moves to London temporarily and ends in South Africa. Deaver's blog reveals the author as a young man was a fan of the Bond series. He was thrilled when Fleming's estate gave him the chance to continue the spy's exploits after Deaver won the Crime Writers' Association's Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for his novel "Garden of Beasts." Though "Carte Blanche" has a contemporary setting and even touches on the global need to recycle, many of the classic Bondisms remain. The CDbook is narrated by Toby Stephens.
You may have heard that St. Louisan Hikaru Nakamura won his third U.S. Chess Championship title this week. Since 2009 the competition has been hosted by the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis. If this news has inspired you to learn how to play chess, improve your skills, or read about some of the game's great players, St. Louis County Library has plenty to offer.

This project focuses on understanding the psychological and neural mechanisms that give rise to cognitive control. Cognitive control processes are a component of human mental function that is fundamentally important in a wide range of domains, including attention, working memory, episodic memory, and decision making. Cognitive control disruptions are thought to be a major source of functional impairment for individuals suffering from a variety of mental health disorders and neuropsychiatric diseases (e.g., schizophrenia, depression, ADHD, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, etc). Prior research, conducted over the last decade, has suggested that there may be a core dimension of variability related to the temporal dynamics and neural circuitry of cognitive control, which is reflected in shifts between two qualitatively distinct modes of control, proactive and reactive. This work has provided a strong experimental base of findings suggesting that this variability is: a) present in healthy individuals and occurs across a range of cognitive domains, b) observable in terms of unique dynamic neural signatures, and c) likely contributing to behavioral deficits in impaired populations (e.g., healthy aging, schizophrenia). However, to date, this research has been confined to small-scale studies focusing on single tasks and using restricted participant samples. In the current proposal represents a rigorous and ambitious attempt to "scale up" this research endeavor, through a large-sample study, involving within-subject fMRI assessments in multiple cognitive control domains, a combined correlational/experimental design, extensive characterization of individual differences variation, and sophisticated psychometric and statistical data modeling. A key feature of the proposed project is its integration and synergistic relationship with the on-going Human Connectome Project (HCP), which will provide the most comprehensive characterization of normative human brain function and variation in the history of neuroscience research. Specifically, as part of the current project, a subset of HCP participants (a diverse and well-characterized sample of MZ/DZ twins) will be recruited for retesting in tasks that are specifically designed to probe and dissociate proactive and reactive control, while utilizing the same fMRI scanner, acquisition, analysis and databasing protocols of the HCP. This will enable the project to achieve tight integration and linkage with comprehensive brain connectivity and genetic data acquired through the HCP. The key goal of the project will be to test and validate the provocative hypothesis that proactive and reactive control form distinct and coherent endophenotypic constructs that provide a bridge between genetic variation, neural circuitry and dynamics, and observable behavioral profiles. Success is in this effort will have important theoretical and clinical implications, by providing a clearer understanding of the sources of normal human variation, and even more importantly, highlighting potential risk vulnerability factors for a range of mental health disorders.
This project has high relevance for public health by providing critical and detailed information regarding the brain-basis of normal human variation in higher mental functions such as attention, memory, decision-making, and intelligence. Such knowledge will be critical in helping to better understand the relationship between normal functioning and mental health disorders (such as schizophrenia, depression, addiction, ADHD), as well as risk vulnerability factors that may contribute to such disorders.

ACL 2009 Day One: Coheed & Cambria Prog Out With Their Fro's Out
Photo By Groovehouse
Mid-afternoon on Friday, prog-metallers Coheed & Cambria hit the stage for an hour of guitar histrionics and lead singer Claudio Sanchez's trademark Geddy Lee-style banshee's wail. With a signature sound that usuals coats the walls of any indoor venue the band plays, C&C's clamor was lost somewhere out in the massive confines of Zilker Park.
This is in no way an indictment of the band, who are more than capable of inflicting a proper audio shellacking when needed. It was just the band's vibe and overall presentation was lost on the ACL audience in general, who we worry were more than likely getting their landclaim on for the fratty and caucasian Thievery Corporation/Kings Of Leon double shot to come on that LIVESTRONG stage later in the evening.
To see the band unfurl "Welcome Home" like a carpet made of sludge and bloody frets is one of those modern musical wonders one must see at least once. Nearly five years after it's debut, the song still gives us the chills.

Dental Disease Epidemic in Some U.S. Demographic Groups
Inner-city dental clinics are best positioned to observe this trend.
"Most of the children come and they have anywhere from three to four cavities to an entire mouth of cavities," said dentist Adriane Graham-Lacy, coordinator of the education program at the Children's Dental Center, a nonprofit organization that serves children of the working poor in Inglewood, Calif. "It's a silent epidemic, because most things that go on in the mouth are painless."
The California Dental Association says that 580,000 of the state's children under age 19 have little access to dental care. While relatively well-off patients can afford to pay for a dentist, and while those living at or below the poverty line get dental treatment through social service programs, the working poor fall between the cracks.
Due to this, children from such families experience "significant pain, interference with eating, poor self-image, overuse of emergency rooms, and valuable time lost from school." A recent report concerning California children's oral health showed that "dental disease was the most prevalent of health issues affecting children and that dental services were not always available for prevention and treatment."
Graham-Lacy said that children of working-poor families usually put off dental care until cavities urgently need to be filled or teeth need to be extracted.
"We see children here where the teeth are just holes and they come in with infections," she said. "Their jaw might be swollen, and there's pus literally coming out of their mouth."
The problem, she explained, can be solved with education and awareness. The nation, she said, needs to address a situation in which 37 percent of children start school without ever having seen a dentist, and in which dental disease costs kids 51 million school hours a year.
"I think a parent should start taking a child to the dentist when they see the first set of teeth come in and when the child is actually old enough to sit and follow basic instructions," the dentist said.

I believe Yelp, Inc. (NYSE:YELP) is a strong buy because it's a growth star, has a great business, and has huge potential to grow. And it has taken off to help monetize its valuable "basic life service" platform. Yelp was trading at $80.32 with a market cap of $5.79 billion as of Aug. 21, 2014. I believe the chance that the company grows to be a $100 billion company is quite good.
Source: Google Finance.
To support my conclusion, I want to examine the following facts and reasons:
Awesome Business
Basic life services are the most important and necessary things for everyone, so a platform of such services will enjoy an enormous sustainable business. Yelp is such a platform. Yelp's main business is providing listings of local merchants with users' reviews of them. Yelp is most known for restaurant reviews, but its database also covers other basic life services -- including hair salons, spa and beauty salons, plumbing, clinics, events, etc. According to its Q2 2014 report (Form 10-Q), it is present in 63 big cities in the U.S. and 26 international countries. It has been rapidly expanding internationally. Yelp is essentially a bridge between users and businesses.
Based on user reviews, consumers can choose the most desirable products or services. Businesses can advertise themselves, as well as learn about users' tastes, interests, purchasing habits from previous online behavior, and -- perhaps most importantly -- their location. About 68% of consumers go to social networking sites to read reviews. Based on the reviews, people make purchase decisions. About 35% of Yelp users visit a searched business within 24 hours of searching Yelp. People who review a business on Yelp are very likely to make a purchase within a week. Yelp's social networking function can further facilitate the review and transaction.
Yelp is looking to take things a step further. It has been trying to become a one-stop-shop life service platform, on which users can search, place orders, reserve appointments, and make transactions. Yelp wants to close the loop to create the easiest consumption experience. It launched Yelp Platform to introduce a food ordering and delivery service. Yelp also allows some partner businesses to make deals on its Yelp pages, a move that can eventually transform the company from an informational service into an e-commerce powerhouse.
I believe Yelp has a very good chance to develop into one of the most important life platforms for the whole world.
Solid Moat
1. Yelp is growing quickly; it has built a huge database. According to the Q2 2014 report, Yelp has approximately 137.8 million unique visitors who use its website on a monthly average basis, of which 67.9 million are mobile unique visitors. Its users have contributed a total of approximately 61.3 million cumulative reviews. There are 1.75 million claimed local business locations and 80,000 active local business accounts.
Source: Statista.com.
2. Yelp is global. According to the Q2 2014 report, Yelp is active in 61 cities in the United States and 63 cities in 26 countries internationally, encompassing 15 languages. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenue generated internationally accounts for 3% of the company's total revenue, which implies huge potential for international expansion.
3. Yelp is big on mobile, which is an advantageous differentiator compared to other web-based services. According to an article on LocalVox.com, during the third quarter of 2013 the Yelp app was used by 11.2M unique devices -- and 62% of the searches came from mobile devices. The app generated 27M clicks for directions and 19M calls to businesses. Many competitors, like Google Plus, do not know how to manage platforms and they are slow in the mobile segment. Yelp has launched a revamped "Nearby" feature that shows recommendations based on time of day, the social graph, and newly opened businesses, which can help increase location-based business opportunities.
4. Yelp has high-quality reviews. Yelp works hard to maintain a high quality of reviews. According to Yelp management, it filters out most fake reviews, which is roughly 20% of all reviews.
5. Yelp has taken off to monetize its database. It broke even in the second quarter of this year, which is a milestone for a growing technology company. The company accelerated with respect to monetizing its database with its new booking and deal sales services, while it keeps working hard to sell more advertisements to businesses.
6. The company has strong management. Management is very capable and are doing the right thing. Most executive managers -- like Chairman Max R. Levchin, a co-founder of PayPal, and CEO Jeremy Stoppleman -- are very devoted and experienced entrepreneurs. They are passionate about changing the world through Yelp. They have been working very hard to improve the business.
Surprise Financials and Forecast
According to the Q2 2014 report, the company has broken even for the first time in history with a net income of $2,743,000 and EPS of $0.04 in the second quarter, compared to a loss of $878,000 last year. The adjusted EBITDA is $17,244,000, which 122% higher than last year. Q2 2014 revenue surged 61% to reach $88.8 million.
Currently, most of its income comes from local advertising (85%) while brand advertising makes up only 10%. I believe Yelp can make significant commissions if the direct transactions ramp up. The major costs and expenses are sales and marketing, which make up around 55% of the total costs. That means the company works hard to improve sales. With the reservation, deal sales, and revenue sharing businesses picking up, revenue resources will be diversified and the top line can grow more rapidly.
Management expects revenue for Q3 2014 to be $98 to $99 million, which exceeds analyst estimates of $95.4 million. We predict that annual revenue will be around $370 million, which translates into a P/S ratio of 13 as of July 31, 2014. The P/S ratio is higher than the industry average of 1.46, but significantly lower than the sector average of 288. Yelp has very high current ratio of around 15 with no long-term debt, which makes it easy for the company to expand, develop products, and acquire more companies.
New Developments and Potential
1. Booking: Yelp launched its restaurant booking services by cooperating with OpenTable in 2013. Yelp Reservations is a tool that allows businesses in the restaurant and nightlife categories to take online reservations, and added the ability for consumers to message business owners directly through Yelp. Yelp might stop its partnership with OpenTable as OpenTable has been acquired by Priceline.com. The acquisition of SeatMe, Inc. in 2014 will help boost booking business. SeatMe, Inc. is a cloud restaurant booking and floor management system. It has table management, online reservations, wait list, guestbook, and other advanced functions. Yelp also tested food ordering and delivery services through partnerships with Eat24 and Delivery.com, which can expand quickly as more people are willing to order food at home and have it delivered.
2. Transactions: The Yelp platform allows consumers to make transactions directly on Yelp through partnerships with third parties. This function will definitely help Yelp to become an e-commerce platform, which is one of the most lucrative businesses. Yelp can take food delivery transactions and book spa appointments, and it will expand to scheduling yoga sessions and making dentist appointments in the rest of 2014.
3. Revenue sharing: Yelp has started sharing revenue with some local businesses. Yelp Deals allow merchants to promote themselves and offer discounted goods and services on a real-time basis to consumers directly on its website and mobile app. It earns a fee on Yelp Deals for acting as an agent in these transactions, which it records on a net basis and include in revenue upon a consumer's purchase of the deal.
4. Alliance and M&A: Yelp has started building alliances with other platforms like Yahoo, a move that can help Yelp to grow its user base faster. Yelp also strives to acquire more companies, especially internationally.
1. Its relationship with business owners is a mixed bag. While many business clients see the value in paying to have ads for their establishments pop up during consumer searches, disgruntled parties have helped foster the notion that those businesses that don't advertise with Yelp will see negative reviews rise in prominence over positive reviews. As a consequence, Yelp is sued by many businesses with less favorable reviews. Yelp needs to properly handle the litigation and improve communications with those business clients.
2. Competition from Google, Facebook and Foursquare. Google, Facebook, Foursquare, and a bevy of smaller startups are taking on Yelp with their own search features, which poses a big threat to Yelp. However, CEO Stoppelman said that he is not concerned by Google and Facebook's threats. Google and Facebook are not focused exclusively on local businesses, which gives Yelp an advantage, and smaller companies don't have what he says is the same breadth and depth of content.
3. Competition against Opentable. I believe Opentable can be a big concern for the burgeoning reservation service of Yelp. Yelp launched the restaurant reservations function with the cooperation of OpenTable, which is a leader is restaurant booking. Yelp has to count on its own reservation system SeatMe after OpenTable was acquired by Priceline.com. As a new startup, SeatMe only has limited restaurant clients. With the support of Priceline.com, OpenTable might extend its business from restaurant reservation to reviews and other life services that Yelp is doing. Fortunately, OpenTable is known for being expensive and clunky, so it has certainly left an opportunity for SeatMe to catch up. Yelp has started attacking OpenTable by launching SeatMe reservation and table management services at very competitive prices.
Compared to competitor OpenTable, SeatMe only charges $99 a month and waives things such as the setup fee, cover fee, web access fee, etc. SeatMe does not charge reservation or per-diner fees to restaurants like some other restaurant reservation services. Businesses are simply required to pay a low monthly flat rate, which is much cheaper than OpenTable. The service does charge initiation and licensing fees, plus a per-reservation fee to restaurants.
Source: SeatMe.Yelp.com.
SeatMe excels in some unique features like greater flexibility for owners, thanks to its apps compatibility with smartphones and tablets, and guestbooks that keep track of customers' tastes and schedules. Another key feature of SeatMe is its iPad software portal for special occasion event ticketing, as well as regular restaurant reservations, wait lists, and floor management. OpenTable also has a manager for iPad software that is helpful, as well as in-depth restaurant reviews, menus, and holiday promotions.
In short, I believe Yelp has a great opportunity to grab business from OpenTable as SeatMe's technology is good, its price is very competitive, and it can develop new clients quickly through Yelp's huge established restaurant clients. However, Yelp has to work very hard and invest a lot to achieve that goal.
4. Low profit margin. According to the Q2 2014 report, Yelp's gross margin is as high as 93.4%, but its net income margin is only 3%. 68.76% of its revenue is spent on selling, general and administration. I understand that Yelp needs to spend a lot in generating new business clients, but management definitely needs to improve its efficiency and boost more profitable businesses, like booking.
5. Buyout Rumors. People suspect Yelp might be a buyout target for giant IT companies. I think the likelihood of acquisition is very low. Yelp rejected a $500 million acquisition offer from Google in 2009. Yelp has become more confident as a standalone company as it has great assets and huge potential to become a giant platform. I think Yelp is going to acquire more companies or build alliances.
Institutional Investors
According to Nasdaq, institutions own 95.8% of the company as of Aug. 21, 2014. The largest institutional shareholders include Invesco Ltd., Vanguard Group, Inc., and Allianz Asset Management AZ. Soros Fund Management LLC bought 50,000 shares on March 31, 2014, at a cost of $82.85.
Price Movement and Valuation
Yelp's stock has a YTD gain of 60.22% as of Aug. 21, 2014, after it came down from a historical high of $97.8 on March 6, 2014. It has broken through its 200-SMA, which is around $73. Most of the 15 research institution analysts who follow Yelp give it a strong buy rating with a consensus target price of $89. My target price is $100 in the first half of 2015, based on the forecast of its rapid growth and accommodating U.S. monetary environments. In conclusion, I think Yelp is a strong buy.

Museums and Education by Eilean Hooper-Greenhill
Book DescriptionAt the beginning of the 21st century museums are challenged on a number of fronts. The prioritisation of learning in museums in the context of demands for social justice and cultural democracy combined with cultural policy based on economic rationalism forces museums to review their educational purposes, redesign their pedagogies and account for their performance. The need to theorise learning and culture for a cultural theory of learning is very pressing. If culture acts as a process of signification, a means of producing meaning that shapes worldviews, learning in museums and other cultural organisations is potentially dynamic and profound, producing self-identities. How is this complexity to be 'measured'? What can this 'measurement' reveal about the character of museum-based learning? The calibration of culture is an international phenomenon, and the measurement of the outcomes and impact of learning in museums in England has provided a detailed case study. Three national evaluation studies were carried out between 2003 and 2006 based on the conceptual framework of Generic Learning Outcomes. Using this revealing data Museums and Education reveals the power of museum pedagogy and as it does, questions are raised about traditional museum culture and the potential and challenge for museum futures is suggested.

Ghanaian man's body lies for 18 months in NI mortuary
30 January 2013 Last updated at 19:20 GMT
The remains of a Ghanaian national, who worked on a Kilkeel trawler, are still in a mortuary in Belfast, 18 months after he died.
Efforts to have his body returned to his native country for burial have so far been unsuccessful.
Fortune Adzawoloo, 29, died of natural causes in July 2011, six weeks after he came to work on a Kilkeel fishing boat.
His family want his body returned home but are disputing who should pay for its repatriation.
