Fund Times: Two Allianz Funds to Merge
Plus, Dodge & Cox, Matthews announce distributions and more.

Email Article
Allianz Global Investors Value
, which in August 2008 got a new name and management team, will merge with
Allianz NFJ Large Cap Value
, pending shareholder approval. NFJ Investment Group has run the $755 million Allianz NFJ Large Cap Value fund since its inception in 2002 and recently took over the $547 million Global Investors Value fund, which had struggled during the short tenure of Oppenheimer's Colin Glinsman. NFJ cofounder Ben Fischer heads up a team that also includes experienced managers Paul Magnuson, Jeffrey Partenheimer, and Tom Oliver. They have successfully practiced a deep-value, dividend-focused strategy at other charges, including
Allianz NFJ Dividend Value
, which reopened to investors in May 2008. The proposed merger will bolster the fund's asset base and could potentially mean lower fees.

December Distributions
In a year when most equity funds have faced steep losses, many investors are wondering if they will also be stuck paying taxes on capital gains distributions. Dodge & Cox, whose funds have fallen hard this year,
that only
Dodge & Cox International
, which has lost half of its value this year, will make capital gains distributions. The estimated short-term distribution (securities held for less than a year are taxed at a higher rate) is $0.06 per share, or less than 0.3% of the fund's current net asset value. The estimated long-term distribution is $1.41 per share, or 6% of the fund's current net asset value as of Nov. 12.
Matthews Asian Funds announced
that nine of its 10 funds will make capital gains distributions in December. Some of the long-term distributions are especially sizable.
Matthews China
, which is down 56% in 2008, will make an estimated long-term distribution of $6 per share, or roughly 34% of its current net asset value.
Matthews Pacific Tiger
, down 51% for the year, will distribute about one fifth of its current net asset value with an estimated long-term distribution of $2.93.
Fund Launches
Wasatch Global Opportunities Fund
will launch Nov. 17. Robert Gardiner, who successfully ran
Wasatch Micro Cap
from 1995 to 2007 and
Wasatch Small Cap Value
from 1997 to 2002, has relinquished his role as director of research to run this fund with Blake Walker of Wasatch International Opportunities . The fund will primarily focus on out-of-favor small- and micro-cap companies that are trading at low valuations relative to their earnings growth potential and will include a mix of domestic and foreign stocks. Wasatch's research efforts are commendable, but the fund's 2.25% expense ratio is steep.
PIMCO is planning to launch
PIMCO Unconstrained Tax Managed Bond Fund
in 2009. Although the fund can invest across the fixed-income spectrum, it will devote at least 50% of its assets to municipal bonds (which are exempt from federal taxes) and will limit exposure to the Alternative Minimum Tax. PIMCO managing director Chris Dialynas, who has been with the firm since 1980 and currently manages several of the firm's funds, will run the new offering.
Fidelity Fund Reopens
Fidelity Mid-Cap Stock
reopened to investors Oct. 13. It closed to new investors in April 2006 after swelling to $12.6 billion in assets and ranking as the second-largest mid-growth fund. Investors have steadily pulled money out of the fund since November 2007 as the credit crisis unfolded. The fund had nearly $2 billion in net redemptions in October 2008 alone, and the fund's assets have since shrunk to $5.3 billion.
Although the fund has slimmed down, it's still a behemoth compared with its average mid-growth peer, which has assets of $165 million. Size has hampered the fund in the past, forcing it to invest more heavily in large-cap stocks and limiting the impact of individual holdings. While the fund is relatively cheap and has amassed a decent record under manager Shep Perkins, its large asset base is still a concern.
Van Wagoner Funds Get a Makeover
Shareholders recently approved several changes at the volatile Van Wagoner funds. Husic Capital Management has come on board as subadvisor, and the funds will get new names and strategies. Analyst Pan
Van Wagoner Emerging Growth
will be known as Embarcadero Small-Cap Growth and will focus on small-cap companies.
Van Wagoner Small Cap Growth
will change to Embarcadero All-Cap Growth and take a classic growth approach.
The funds have experienced wild swings in performance under manager Garrett Van Wagoner, who has kept the portfolios highly concentrated in startup tech companies. Exorbitant fees have taken a bite out of returns, and the funds are consistently at the bottom of the small-growth category. Although new subadvisor Husic employs a more diverse small-cap strategy, these funds hardly seem worth it. Husic briefly ran
Vanguard Capital Opportunity
from 1995 to 1997 but was axed for poor performance.
RiverSource's New Blood
Todd White will join RiverSource as the structured assets team leader Nov. 17. He will comanage several bond funds, including
RiverSource Diversified Bond
, RiverSource Limited Duration Bond ,
RiverSource Short Duration U.S. Government
, RiverSource U.S. Government Mortgage , and
RiverSource Balanced
. White previously worked at HSBC and Lehman Brothers, specializing in mortgage-backed securities.

text: Octuplets' Grandmother Adds To Criticism Of Her DaughterMargaret Hartmann2/09/09 9:30amFiled to: 8 Is EnoughNadya suleman octupletsAngela SulemanNadya SulemanBellflower OctupletsFertilityPregnancy25EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkSome say the public outcry against Nadya Suleman, the mother of the Bellflower octuplets, has gone too far, but even her own mother is criticizing her, releasing new details and photos of their cramped home.AdvertisementIn a new videotaped interview with RadarOnline.com, Angela Suleman, Nadya's mother, says she feels her daughter having so many children is "unconscionable." "She really has no idea what she's doing to her children, and to me," she says. According to Angela, a retired teacher, Nadya does not contribute money toward supporting her children. "Nadya promised to help me with the bills, but she never has," she says. "I lost a house because of it and now I'm struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there's children's clothing piled all over the house."New photos of the interior of their three-bedroom house are posted along with the article. The house looks disheveled, and a RadarOnline.com reporter said the interior was "filthy," and there was food on the walls. Nadya's publicist Mike Furtney said that she shouldn't be held responsible for the condition of the house since she hasn't been home for weeks, according to the Associated Press. He added that Nadya planned to move into a larger house once the octuplets were healthy enough to be released from the hospital, though whose house that is, or how she is planning to pay for it was not explained.AdvertisementAngela told RadarOnline.com that the sperm donor for all 14 kids was Nadya's boyfriend. Angela said he wanted to marry Nadya, but she refused because she wanted to have children on her own. She said her daughter was so set on having children that she got pregnant at 16, but miscarried and discovered that she had fertility problems. Though Nadya says she was treated by the same fertility doctor for all 14 children, Angela says she had to find a different doctor for the octuplets after Nadya's father begged one doctor not to implant anymore embryos because she already had six children. The Medical Board of California announced that the unidentified doctor who performed the procedure is under investigation for a "violation of the standard of care." Dr. Jaime Grifo, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, wrote an article for the New York Post on the standard procedures of doctors in his field, and says "it wouldn't shock me if there was a doctor who would do this, but it would greatly disappoint me."These new details will probably only increase public scorn for Ms. Suleman. New footage (video below) aired this morning on Today from her interview with Ann Curry. In the first, Nadya admits that she may have projected her own desire for a large family on her children, imagining that her children wanted more siblings. In the second, Curry asks how Nadya plans to provide for the children, and she does not seem to have a concrete plan, saying "God will provide in his own way." She says she is not receiving help from the government, and will only accept products from people or companies that are "just for the children."But, advertisers may be reluctant to shower Suleman's children with gifts, as they have with other multiples in the past. An article in Advertising Age suggests that any company should be hesitant to seek brand placement given the circumstances of the octuplets birth. It also suggests that like the "Son of Sam" laws that prevent criminals from profiting for their crimes by selling their stories, there should be a "Mother of Octuplets" law "to prevent baby-obsessed crazy ladies from not only profiting fromt heir obsession but making their children wards of the Media State."SponsoredIn a new essay in Time, writer Nancy Gibb questions why Suleman has so angered the public, while the McCaughey septuplets, born in 1997, received a congratulatory phone call from President Clinton, and millions of people tune in every week to watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 and the Duggars with their 18 children. Gibb suggests that Suleman has "violated some unspoken rule we have about fertility treatment." Almost everyone accepts the uncomfortable ethics of fertility treatments, because we understand people's desire to become a parent. Suleman however, makes us question those ethics because she already had so many children. Even as she is criticized for seeking media attention, new outlets continue to cover her and the public continues to watch. But, has Suleman crossed so many ethical lines that she deserves all the public scrutiny, or as Gibb says, is it time to stop criticizing someone else's personal parenting choices and "let this woman work out her very challenging circumstances without our vitriol making it any harder."In the clip below from The Today Show Nadya says she projected her own wants onto her children, convincing herself that her six kids wanted a bigger family. Below, Nadya denies that she had the children to make money. She says she wanted to do it on her own, but says she couldn't take care of the kids without her mother's support.

My six year old daughter's hair is always a hot mess! I used to see kids like this before having my own and think, their mama didn't care about them much! Now I know the truth! Some kids hair is just hard to manage. I brush Paige's hair and twenty minutes later it looks a mess.
She just has that really thin, tangly kind of hair. It gravitates to sticking to itself! I have tried many different products for this and it's a daily battle. I started braiding her hair before bed and that helped her not wake up with tangly hair but didn't keep it from tangling again during the day.
We just tried a new detangled spray that's actually a leave in conditioner. My daughter really liked the fruity smell which is always a bonus but the real beauty is that it actually worked! Just a few sprays and I'm able to brush through the tangles!
Part of dealing with tangly hair is getting the balance right on how often you shampoo and condition and for her I've found it works best every three days. I've tried both 3 in 1 and 2 in 1 sets and the 2 in 1 seems to work best for her when paired with the detangler leave in. She also loves the guava smell.
I use the 3 in 1 for the boys since they don't really need or care about conditioner! I also discovered that it doubles as bubble bath when my toddler dumped a bunch in the tub!
My kids all have different needs for their hair with my daughters tangly hair being the biggest challenge. The SoCozy trial kit is a great way to get them all, plus a bonus styler we will use for special occasions when I have to do Paige's hair!

Your Horoscope: Wednesday, December 2, 2009
-Margaret Santangelo
Sagittarius: Today is the perfect day to treat yourself to a haircut, a manicure, or a massage – perhaps all three if it's close to your birthday! If you start a self-improvement plan today, it is likely to be successful– especially if you write down your goals and the steps you must take to achieve them.
Capricorn: Today your introverted side comes out and you feel like just hiding from the world. Don't isolate yourself if you are feeling insecure emotionally – seek out the support and assistance of the people that care about you. Tonight, talk to a friend or family member about these issues.
Aquarius: Today you are ready for some serious partying, but make sure you get your work done first or you will be sorry later in the week. This evening, you could make the acquaintance of someone especially sexy – don't play games with this one or you could regret it later.
Pisces: Take some time out from your usual routine to really plan for your future and set goals for your career. You may be stuck in a rut of need a good push to get out. Now is the time to make changes and get yourself back on track at work – don't leave it up to chance.
Aries: Today Venus entering Sagittarius turns your energy levels up and puts you into overdrive. You are ready to do anything you set your mind to. Ask a friend for help if you need it – don't be shy and resist the Aries temptation to "do it all" yourself.
Taurus: Venus, your planetary ruler, enters Sagittarius today, infusing you with a positive outlook and setting your sights on your immediate future. Make plans with your honey regarding a travel plan this evening. It's time for the two of you take off alone and have some treasured one-on-one time together.
Gemini: Even if you have a steady romance going on, you desire a satisfying partnership in another area of your life. Geminis really get going when they find the right person to collaborate with, so make an effort to find a partner for a new project by putting up an ad on Craigslist or in the paper today.
Cancer: Today is a great day to to shop for items that will beautify your home or make it more comfortable. You'll find some great deals today if you know where to look. Do your research before you pull out the plastic. Check consumer guides to help you make the best decision.
Leo: If you recently moved, today is the day to make it your own by hanging your artwork or incorporating your favorite things into the space. If not, try making an affordable upgrade that will make you feel more at home.
Virgo: If you have had something on your mind, today is the day to set aside some time to get the opinion of a trusted confidante. You will feel much better once you have your emotions validated by someone you trust.
Libra: Venus enters Sagittarius today, so your mind will be stimulated and your creative powers enhanced. Work on a writing project this afternoon – your ability to communicate your ideas is strong today and you'll have no trouble convincing anyone of your point-of-view.
Scorpio: Today money is on your mind as Venus, the planet ruling cash, enters Sagittarius. Make a budget for the month of December and stick to it – no excuses. Discuss it with your significant other this evening and work together to get your finances in order.

You have the right to get really really excited. Inside the Actors Studio is proud to welcome a very special guest on Tuesday, August 5: Law and Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay.
In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.
Thanks to Pace NYC's location, you've probably walked onto the set a few times without even knowing it. But on Tuesday, August 5, James Lipton and Inside the Actors Studio bring Law and Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay right to the Schimmel Theatre as the next seminar guest.
Mariska Hargitay is a critically acclaimed actress best known for her role as Detective Olivia Benson on the NBC drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. This role, which she has played for the last 15 years, has earned her an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and multiple nominations (eight Emmy nominations, six SAG nominations, two Golden Globe nominations).
She's had a rough season on SVU, but will she be able to handle Lipton's line of questioning? You'll find out on August 5. The taping will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Many people say preseason doesn't matter, but before this Super Bowl it's worth taking a look back on the Seahawks-Broncos preseason matchup to see if there are any clues on how the much-anticipated matchup between Seattle's top defense and Denver's top defense will shake out.
And we can find that in that game, which was the second preseason game for both teams, Seattle played a lot differently on defense than we're used to seeing.
The Seahawks prefer to run zone coverage, in particular "Cover 3" zone with two cornerbacks and a free safety each responsible for a deep third of the field. They also don't blitz much. Seattle had the third fewest blitzes in the NFL, in terms of sending five or more rushers on pass plays.
So what did Seattle do against Denver in that preseason game? The Seahawks played a lot of man coverage and blitzed more than they usually do. Now you have to try to decipher, did the Seahawks do that because it was a preseason game and they were trying out things, or do they believe this is the best way to match up against the Broncos?
The problem with repeating that approach is, despite a final score that was 40-10 in favor of Seattle, the Broncos went up and down the field when Peyton Manning was in the game (he was 11-of-16 for 163 yards and a touchdown). Manning was very patient in that game, and that's important for this matchup on Sunday.
If you give Manning the 5-yard completion, he'll take it. Will the Seahawks essentially take the approach that they'll give you 12, 13, 14 plays on a drive and see if Denver can execute all the way down the field against their defense? It takes only one bad play like a penalty, being tackled for a loss or a turnover to ruin the drive. In my opinion, that could be Seattle's approach on Sunday.
If you're Seattle, the lower scoring the game is, the better it is for them. If Denver holds the ball it isn't necessarily a bad thing, because time is being taken off the clock and the game is shorter. The red zone will be important, and both Denver's offense and Seattle's defense play very well in the red zone. Let's say Denver gets the ball first, has a seven-minute drive and scores just three points. I think Seattle would look at that as a win, not as a bad thing.
One reason the Seahawks might not be so aggressive on defense and let the Broncos take some short plays is that their pass rush, a strength of the defense, might not be a huge factor anyway. Denver up to this point has played three-receiver sets in about seven of every 10 snaps, so the Seahawks will play a lot of nickel. Seattle likes its nickel defense pass rush, when Michael Bennett goes inside and Cliff Avril is in, but Manning normally gets rid of the ball quickly. Seattle's pass rush could become a factor if Denver gets into too many long-yardage situation. But not so much if the Broncos stay on schedule. We've charted games in which Manning gets rid of the ball in an average of two seconds. If you get rid of it in two seconds, your offense line can take a vacation.
Another thing to keep in mind: To win this matchup, I think Denver has to have some success running the ball. They don't need "X" number of runs or yards to be successful, but Manning is going to hand it off when the defense doesn't stack the box. They have to have success with Knowshon Moreno running it. Success could mean just 4-yard runs, not necessarily 20-yard runs. If Denver plays their game, and Moreno has 17 carries for 72 yards or something like that, it will help Denver. That means Seattle will have to defend the whole field against their offense.
The fact is, when you give two good coaching staffs two weeks to prepare, we have no idea what wrinkles they will throw at each other. Because of that, this game is really hard to handicap. I don't feel strongly one way or another. When I've been asked on some radio shows this week I have picked Denver to win, but I'm not saying that with any conviction. There are so many different ways this game could go. That's part of why it's a great matchup.

31 January 2008, 14:29
Moscow, January 31, Interfax – The Russian Orthodox Church urges to make criminal penalty for pedophilia and kid pornography more 'tough and inevitable.'
'A person who is capable of raping a child should be isolated from society securely and for a long time, preferably forever. We should radically change our attitude to such crimes,' deputy head of the Moscow Patriarchate Department for External Church Relations Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin told Interfax-Religion on Thursday.
Thus he commented the situation with St. Petersburg resident and former boxer Alexander Kuznetsov, who beat to death a 20-year-old rapist after he had attacked his minor-aged step-son. Kuznetsov is on remand now; he is accused of malicious injury that recklessly caused victim's death.
According to the priest, Kuznetsov's actions 'are understandable.' The interviewee of the agency consider it appalling that 'there are people in our society who are capable of such dirty crimes,' as this rapist-pedophile who attacked an eight-year old boy.
'I hope that our legal system and its practice will be suchlike as not to dispose to impinging upon a child,' Fr. Vsevolod stated stressing that it is not the first year when representatives of the Church, general public and professional legal experts speak for 'making punishment for pedophilia and kid pornography tough and inevitable'
.According to him, 'those who profits from sexual exploitation of children and kid pornography should not feel unpunished.'
'Neither delicacy nor indulgence are applicable to such people, they should be punished. In this case parents will not have to face such a tragic, terrible choice like the boy's father,' Fr. Vsevolod said.

Abstract: | The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) of the European Joint Research Centre (JRC) is equipped with a unique scientific infrastructure for highly accurate neutron cross-section measurements. It is a combination of a 150 MeV linear electron accelerator with neutron time-of-flight facility and a 7 MV light-ion Van de Graaff accelerator. The complementary research capabilities offered at the two accelerators create excellent opportunities for training. The institute hosts a number of PhD and post-doctoral fellows, visiting scientists and trainees every year. To respond to demands from the educational world the institute organises several hands-on training courses at university level. These regular training courses have the objective to initiate graduate or post-graduate students into the nuclear data field via exciting experiments at the appropriate level. This paper describes the neutron data facilities and nuclear training activities more in detail. |

The boys like to watch the pelvis wiggle, but the knees don't like it very much. Upon foot contact in running/jumping, the pelvis goes too deep into the frontal plane, presenting in contralateral rotation. Ideally, the ilia should be at least level, or optimally the fee pelvis a bit higher. When the ipsilateral ilium is higher, it contributes to excessive knee abduction/internal rotation at ground contact.
This is one of the exercises I use to enhance pelvic stiffness in athletes presenting with patellofemoral stress syndrome. I do it a bit different than Frans does. BTW, Frans does not use this as a rehabilitation exercise, he uses it as a neuromuscular drill to enhance sprint mechanics. I'll have the athlete take a big step forward onto the affected leg, punch the non weight bearing ilium and hand to the ceiling, then step backwards with that same leg and return to the starting position for 3 sets of 10 reps. I begin with the athlete holding a crutch overhead, then build up to a weighted bar.

to unfriend, unfollow and generally avoid like the plague anyone who uses the word 'hollibobs'
(113 Posts)You have not just returned from your 'hollibobs'. You were on holiday. I can cope with 'vacation' if you are from North America.
The word 'hollibobs' has MORE LETTERS than the word that you are replacing it with.
And it makes you look dim.
I didn't know the word "hollibobs". I love it! I'm going to start saying it! (well, if I ever go on a hollibobs.) YABU!
YANBU. Someone I really like just used it I can't believe it. Perhaps it was a joke but its still no excuse. Prepare yourself to defriend people you actually like...
Even putting it in your thread title has irritated me
Yes agree, far far too perky.
Have never heard of this word before.
What the actual fuck?!
I demand you forget seeing this thread immediately. I will not be responsible for you losing all your friends.
My sister in law uses it all the time. Annoys the hell out of me.
Why is irritating?
Yanbu! It's up there with windy pops <stabby emoticon>
YABU! I went on holibobs! It was definitely a holibob and not a holiday
You are such a funbuster!
I am going on my holliwollibobbingtons on 26 July and I can't wait. Squeeeeeeee! Let me take my sockywockers off and work out how many sleeps that is.
YANBU. Because the word is hollibags.
Strangely, I don't mind 'windypops'.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I try not to care. I'm also trying not to care when my FB friends have a glass of vino, or LOL. But I do, I really do.
Bluestocking thank you. Going to use all those terms from now on.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I need to hide this thread before I get twitchy and violent.
God I can't take this anymore I'm cringing <hide thread now hide it hide it>
Holibobs is an brilliant word, I always use it
Yay meeee! Parakeet likes my words! Now use them all tomorrow, let's link little fingers and pinkypromise!
But WHY?
It takes longer to write and make you sound dim. Why would you use it, even in jest.

Reviews of San Marino Retirement
Costa Girl February 11, 2017
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My father has lived in 4 different units as his needs changed so we have a lot of experience at this facility. I cannot say enough about the staff. Everyone shows genuine concern and each resident is greeted with a smile and conversation. I feel the facility is clean and well kept. The staff is professional and caring. My father has been happy with all of his living arrangements and my family feels blessed that he is surrounded by good and caring people.

Wow this place is old. Had a friend move there and wish she had stayed in her home. I don't recommend it unless you have no family to help.
Just ok September 28, 2016

Friendly staff. The food is not very good though. My friend skips alot of meal's and buys groceries for when the food is not good. She had been spoiled at the meridian with top chefs over there. To bad the meridian doesn't have assisted living I've also tried the food at San Marino. It was horrible.

Brought my Mom here and I must say, the place is old and shabby, the maintenance crew were not very helpful. All in all my advise is there is much nicer places at the same price.

I liked San Marino, and it's affordable. They were decorating for Christmas, and things were getting hectic for them that day, but I can live there. They have scheduled activities.

I visited San Marino. The staff was very knowledgeable and very nice. I had lunch there, and it was OK. The room had very good closet space. They had placed new carpeting down, and everything had been painted.

Our visit to San Marino Retirement Community was very nice. The one room I saw was very nice. The residents seemed very happy. It was very affordable, but it was just not located where we needed it to be. When I talked about mom's needs, level of care, and her desires, they do not permit hospice care, so that and the distance from me was the reason we rejected it .
Bill76378750 October 08, 2014
I visited this facility
It seemed that the rooms at San Marino Community were real nice. The place is real clean. They were updating the units as they went along if they needed new tile or new carpet. It was kept up real nice and looked well-maintained. The 1-bedroom unit was in good shape and it seemed to be roomy enough. They had all the usual safety features, the pull cord, and plenty of room in the bathroom.
They had card night for people to play cards. They had a little movie theater. They had movie night, plus the bus. They had little trips here and there. The staff seemed very friendly. A couple of them said hi as we went by. The only drawback for us would have been that they do not handle Medicaid patients, so if they got Medicaid, they would have to move.
Caring20915050 June 11, 2014
I am a friend or relative of a resident
I had my father in San Marino Retirement Living. He lived there for at least 2 years. He was in independent living. He could no longer function there, so that was why I had to move him. I didn't move him to their assisted living because it was really small and I was worried that he would feel too confined. Their memory care is even smaller, and so I didn't move him there.
I absolutely loved the staff there. The food was really good. They had an independent cooking staff and independent cleaning staff. It was kind of a restaurant where they had several items off a menu that they could choose from. The amount of food that they gave them seemed fine. They offered desserts and various beverages. They can opt for a meal plan where they can go into the dining room and have a couple of meals a day, or they can have one meal a day, or they can just cook their own meals.
They have the patio homes and then they have the apartments, which is where my father was. They had their own bedroom, bath, living area, a little kitchenette area, and a patio. They had weekly cleaning. They would provide linens and change linens for them. They had a beautiful garden area that people could walk in. They had walking trails right there. They have on-site laundry, a little barber shop, a little private library, a game room, and they have a little bus that would take the residents out. You could sign them up, and they would take them out at least 2 or 3 times a week out to lunch, out to a show. They really were good at engaging the residents. It was wonderful.
Their activity coordinator was fabulous. She just loved my dad, and she went to his new facility to visit. They went to make sure he was OK. They just did that on their own. They loved him and got to know him. I was really impressed with them.

Left hand Taps
I'm planing to buy some taps to be able to tap aluminum links. The problem is that I can't find a place that sell both 7/8-14 and 1.1/4-12 left hand taps that are US made, only the cheap imported ones. I'd like to avoid to order the taps from different places.
MSC only seems to have the 1.1/4 left hand taps made by Greenfield. Travers only have the 7/8 left taps made by Regal. Enco only have their onwn brand cheap imported left hand taps. I've found a company called ICS cutting tools that have have both taps but I can't find any info if they make quality taps or not? Are there any other places that I've missed that sells quality left hand taps?

I have a domestic source that can provide you any and I mean any tap diameter and pitch that you need with in 24 hours. And I know you will not like the price. For example I needed a m10 x.5 tap I got it the next day for $135.00. Let me know if you need the source.
And let me add this you need not worry about Greenfield nor Regal Beloit taps being junk, they both make real good taps that we run on our production lines. |

It seems like E-Taps.com have both taps and their taps are made in Poland which I think is better than taps made in China.
Does anyone have any experience with taps from E-Taps?

Widel will custom make any tap you need, at a price that beats most other's off-the shelf parts. Very good quality USA taps. OSG also makes the taps you need, but they come from Japan and are ~$250 ea because the spiral flutes. I'm assuming this will be done on a lathe?
2nd note, we rent hard to find taps to customers that over heat their tube adapters, we just require a deposit and no more than a weeks time out of our hands. Jeff |

I've not had bad luck with most import taps bought from reputable sources.
Many of Enco's brand of taps are made in Eastern European countres, Poland and Israel. For limited use, such as making a fixed number of links or steering rods, the imports are probably pleny good enough and much less expensive. There is something to be said for buying the level of quality one needs for the job, or number of parts to be made. |

My Uncle Milt passed away when when I was 13. He died of AIDS and was one of the many victims of the disease which at the time couldn't be fully treated or contained. I miss him everyday, and since moving to his city 9 years ago, I find myself missing him even more.
There are countless things I miss about him - his always hilarious, self-deprecating, overly dramatic sense of humor. His boundless, unique creativity, and his theatrical presence at every family gathering that had us laughing with tears running down our faces.
The one thing I don't miss however was his relentless pursuit to get my sister, cousins and I to love Broadway musicals as much as he did. Since he was a theater critic – his writer name was "Newton North," which was the name of his high school – we would travel into New York from Boston and almost immediately get swept into Times Square for a show. We saw all the big ones like Phantom of the Opera and Cats, and the more forgettable ones like Starlight Express. The majority of them left my cousins and I begging him to just take us to an NBA game at Madison Square Garden instead. To no avail. He was on a mission!
There was one show, however, that temporarily quieted our jock-ish pleas. Les Miserables was something I had never experienced before, and convinced me that Broadway could truly be magical. I went into every show after seeing Les Mis hoping it would captivate me in the same way, and none did…until 2 nights ago.
My parents and sister came into the city for my Dad's 65th birthday (who is now pursuing my Uncle Milt's dream – his oldest brother – of producing Broadway shows), and we celebrated by going to see Hamilton.
The show is true to every rave review and crazy hype. It's incredible, it's groundbreaking, and it's genius.
The creator of the show, Lin Manuel Miranda somehow managed to take the Revolutionary War era and tell its story by meshing history, humor…and hip hop. My mind kept going to not only my Uncle Milt – imagining him smiling ear to ear throughout the show, moving in his seat to the music, and frantically writing his signature Newton North post-show critique – but our Brooklyn and Bronx Camp POWER kids as well.
So I now have my first 2016 goal officially written down: raising the money through our nonprofit org to bring a group of Camp POWER kids to Hamilton.
Check me out, Uncle Milt - I'm now the one on a mission to open skeptical kid's eyes to the magic of Broadway! I can almost see you now shooting to your feet and yelling what you did at shows (and my basketball games)…"BRAVO! BRAVO!!!"

A Report On The Media Definitely Communications Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The media definitely has a strong influence on the consumer's purchasing decisions. Companies and organizations that are regularly present in the media surely catch the attention of more consumers. Media relations are essential to put the company in the news in a positive way.
This essay is about using public relations in media relations. It will start by explaining what these are, discuss the similarities of a good journalist and public relations person, continue by explaining media coverage and how to deliver stories to the media, and will later bring to a close by stating how to build good relationships with journalists.
According to the UK Chartered Institute of Public Relations,
'Public relations is about reputation; the result of what you do, what you say and what others say about you. Public relations are the discipline, which looks after reputation, with the aim of earning understanding and support and influencing opinion and behavior. It is the planned and sustained effort to establish and maintain goodwill and mutual understanding between an organization and its publics. Public relations not only tell an organization's story to its publics, it also helps to shape the organization and the way it works.'
Very often, public relations are carried out through the mass media, and here is where media relations step in. According to - USA (Washington) based Public Relations and Communications Company - Woo Public Relations & Communications, LLC,
"Media relations are any activities which involveworking directly with persons responsible for editorial (news and features), public services and sponsored programming products of the media".
(Woo Public Relations & Communications, LLC[2])
Therefore it is of utmost importance that the public relations spokesperson is trained in media, since it is quite usual that when journalists call, they ask to speak to the person responsible in the field in question not the public relations officer, so as to be able to go in depth in their story, or maybe even quote the source. No wonder that former journalist and public relations specialist Martin Keller in his article 'Crossing Over to The Dark Side' says that one might notice how many public relations officers are former journalists. He also adds that these public relations people have clients that
"benefit from their experience and skill sets, especially their ability to ferret out what the story really is. They're trained to be good listeners and know how to corroborate the details that make up a good story. They also still heavily follow the news cycle. […] And they usually know what reporters are going to ask"
(Keller Martin, 2010[3])
In fact, Keller explains that both the public relations officer and the journalist need to have two things in common; they both have to know what a good story is and how to communicate it successfully.
Whilst media relations are, as previously explained, the relationships that a person develops with the people in the media - such as journalists, editors etc - public relations deals with the publics beyond the media. Through good media relations you get placement in the mass media of your company's messages without having to pay for it by advertising. This free coverage is at times called publicity.
So apart from being free, what are the advantages of media coverage? Whilst paid advertising can increase the company's name recognition, media coverage can increase credibility. In fact, as Washington based agency Woo Public Relations and Communications' web site shows, the public tends to disbelieve paid advertising; hence it is better getting your company's name in the news coverage. Also it is more likely that messages delivered by the mass media be more credible that messages delivered by the company itself since the media is considered, or should be, more of a neutral body. People reading a feature about your company in the newspaper or see a positive feature about it on television, tend to have a positive reaction about it. And finally, placing the company's name on the news can help to stress the importance of the news item.
However managing to get free media coverage is not an easy task. It would be practically impossible for editors and journalists to cover each and every news item that goes on. These people decide what news and events will be shown in their newspaper or magazine etc. One must cultivate and apply strategies that will increase the probability that the stories will be selected by the journalist or editor. One has to make issues as striking as possible since there is much competition out there.
So how does one catch the media's attention? According to PR expert John P. David (with more than 18 years experience in public relations industry, currently working for David and Garcia PR, serving Florida based clients)[4], all you need to do is "say something meaningful, true and authentic". He explains that although this sounds very simple, it is rarely found, and media persons work very hard to find those who are ready to give the truth about important issues. David suggests three ways on how to build and keep a good relationship with journalists. He first says that you have to speak out the truth about your organization to be on a good starting point, he adds that,
"Sources need to have clear message points and be prepared when speaking with the media, but real opinions and verifiable facts will trump the spin every time."
(John P. David)
He continues to say that one does not have to be afraid, be convinced of what he says and speak about topics with authority. Strong words will not damage as many might think, but on the contrary they will stand out. David finally suggests using "trend spotting" or "scoop spotting". He states how,
"Journalists love to identify the next big trend. Want a journalist to remember you, help them out by letting them know which way your industry is turning/heading. Further, if you can offer up a real nugget of unreported news (a scoop), you will have a friend for a long time."
(John P. David)
At this point however we need to delve deeper in how to deliver our stories to the media to get our placement, better known as 'pitching stories'. As marketing officer CR Ransom (Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Mosnar Communications, Inc. in metro Atlanta, Georgia) explains[5] that,
"A mass explosion of free publicity is the best reward to launching a successfulPR campaign. The ultimate goal of a PR campaign is to receive loads of free publicity about your book, product, service, or cause." (CR Ransom)
Ransom states that thanks to this free publicity, sales increase as much as brand awareness does. She says that being in the news in a positive way is the best and fastest way to make consumers wanting to try your product or services out. Ransom continues by saying that this entails a lot of research and hard work, however it is all worth the while once results start showing. Since advertising is pretty expensive, especially to issue a packed feature article in a popular newspaper, what else would you wish for than to get loads of free publicity? Ransom gives some guidelines on how to "pitch" to get as much media placement as possible. She first mentions the announcement's 'press release' and emphasizes how important it is that a press release contains news value, such as,
"New additions, breakthroughs, mergers, acquisitions, research findings, etc. A media or press release will tell the story that you are trying to pitch."
(CR Ransom)
Next he speaks about finding the media publications which are the most related to the story you wish to deliver. The media runs on news, so if you supply news will give you free publicity. Knowing how to plan to get the best media publicity engages matching the release to the best publications. Using the wrong media sources can lead to a story not being picked up at all; hence one must search publications which match the topics you focus on.
Ransom then states that you usually get just one chance to make a good first impression, so you have to be good to clearly state why your story is good for the journalist and how the viewers or readers will benefit from it. You are also recommended to 'promote' your release so that journalists will find it easier to find you. Nowadays this is much easier thanks to the internet, hence using wire services. A number of wire services for press releases are available for free[6]. Ransom, like David explains above, emphasizes on building good relationships with media persons so as to "become a lead source for media publications. Give them what they want: a great story!"
It is also good to prepare press kits for journalists. A press kit usually consists of a number of information for the journalists to use. It is also very useful to have a press section on the company's web-site, if this is available. This can be use for journalists to obtain accurate information instantaneously from their work desk, and they would need to add only little to no information to it.
So we have seen how good public relations are crucial when dealing with the media. Hence, whilst training is always helpful as explained above, one has to admit that to be in public relations and media relations, one has to be an innately good communicator first and foremost.
