World class independent research at your hands
Redefining the way research is delivered.
We are creators of independent equity research. The Pennock Idea Hub team are veterans of the investment industry. Much of our team has spent their careers at Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, RBC Capital Markets and Wood Gundy. We have taken every aspect of research back to the studs and returned to first principles. The Pennock Idea Hub marries the interests of the sell and buy side.
We offer the best research for institutional investors by:
- Only publishing research from veteran analysts
- Eliminate the inherent conflicts of the traditional sell and buy side relationship
- Ensure our team is always accessible; collaboration with clients nurtures our collective success
The Ideal Analyst
Our analysts have a proven track record of building a reputable franchise. Recognition from the Reuters Institutional Investors Survey and the Brendan Woods International Survey are a testament to their industry expertise. Through experience gained at Bulge Bracket banks, the Big 5 Canadian banks and leading independents, PIH Analysts have built relationships with senior management of industry leaders and institutional shareholders. We uncover catalysts first.
Marrying Sell & Buy Side
Research Analysts are neutered at traditional investment banks because of the conflict of interest with the firms buy side clients and the investment bankers. To remain aligned with our clients, we do not advise corporations on M&A mandates or capital raises through the equity or debt markets. Companies under coverage are not catered to. We don't compete in the "Beauty Contests" and will not try to impress management with our recommendations or target prices. We are not a firm, eliminating the unspoken need to "Spin" our observations to protect the firm's "Book". We are not in the business of flattering companies or providing "Maintenance" research. There's no compulsion to "Publish or Perish". Our Analysts work for you.
No Frills
Research Analysts working for a firm support a variety of activities – many of which do not serve the institutional investor. The fixed expenses in some brokerages have hit as high as 48%. The fees paid by clients to the firm covers all operating expenses such as: the S&T desks, investment bankers, compliance and the back office. By eliminating the S&T desks, compliance and back office, we're able to best serve our clients by not only putting their interests first, but ensuring they remain aligned in our conflict free model.

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) May 09, 2016
The Iron Yard, one of the world's largest and fastest-growing code schools, and the Utah Technology Council today announced a partnership to provide $3,000 scholarships to all students who enroll in one of the 12-week immersive courses at the code school's Salt Lake City campus before Nov. 1. The partnership aims to encourage more people to pursue careers as software developers and strengthen the talent pool for Utah's more than 5,000 technology companies.
The strong demand for developer talent in Salt Lake City is highlighted in the results of the Utah Technology Council's 2015 Annual Engineering Workforce Data Survey (4th Quarter), which found that 95 percent of companies surveyed are looking to hire software developers. Furthermore, 75 percent of companies say that they have a hard time finding qualified candidates, with 70 percent looking out of state to recruit tech talent. The full results of the survey will be released later this month.
"To keep Utah's tech ecosystem healthy and vibrant we need to double-down on our efforts to increase the pipeline of tech talent in the state. Our partnership with The Iron Yard fits well with our top priority - to promote the development of qualified talent to meet the current and future workforce demands in the state," said Richard R. Nelson, President and CEO of the Utah Technology Council.
The Utah Technology Council scholarship will be available to every student who enrolls in one of The Iron Yard's 12-week immersive courses on the Salt Lake City campus before Nov. 1. Students will be awarded $3,000 toward the cost of tuition. In the future, The Iron Yard and Utah Technology Council will explore additional opportunities for ongoing collaboration including working together to host events, lectures and networking opportunities. For more information, anyone interested in the Utah Technology Council scholarship and enrolling in an upcoming course at The Iron Yard, can visit, https://www.theironyard.com/locations/slc.html.

We want you to feel comfortable before you arrive on our campus for the first time. Here are some tips that will help ensure your visit to Myers Park Baptist Church is memorable – for all the right reasons!
First things first — coffee.
You may find that the conversations and sermons here are so stimulating that you won't need caffeine. However, you are welcome to b.y.o.c. to Sunday school or ask the volunteer at the Welcome Table in Heaton Hall to point you in the direction of our not-so-secret "wall of coffee" located behind the kitchen. There's also coffee and lemonade provided in Heaton Hall after the service. We just ask that you don't bring any food or drink into the sanctuary.
Sunday School
There's a place for everyone on Sunday mornings. See the full list of our Sunday School, as well as our Groups, and other Adult Faith Formation classes or you can stop by the Welcome Table in Heaton Hall once you get settled. If you have specific questions about childcare or activities for your school-aged kids, please call Carrie Veal at (704) 334-7232 x 118.
Do I have to get dressed up?
Jesus and his apostles did not have a dress code, so neither do we. You should feel comfortable being yourself here, but you'll find that most people do get a little spiffed up for Sunday service. Suits and dresses, jeans and t-shirts (G-rated of course – it's church!) – are all welcome here.
What should we know about the worship service?
Our Sunday worship service has a traditional feel to it, which is a nice counterbalance to our progressive theology. We have a wonderful choir and their musical presentations are always uplifting. We pray together, we sing hymns, we have about a twenty-minute sermon, and we collect a voluntary offering that supports a local nonprofit. You won't find us reciting creeds, but we do read affirmations of faith. Several times a year, we offer communion to all those who would like to partake (any age, regardless of his or her baptismal status). The entire service lasts approximately one hour, though we hope the effects of your time with us will last much, much longer.
Parking is available in the church lot on Roswell Avenue directly behind The Cornwell Center. There's also street parking on either side of the church (Roswell or Selwyn in front of Queens University). See the map below.

The term "Green Chemistry" has become a major part of the
science community's lexicon. In this application note we will
look at two areas for flash chromatography:
1. Replacing chlorinated solvents with those considered more
environmentally friendly.
2. Reducing solvent use and waste generation with more
thoughtfully applied chromatography principles.

The UV absorption spectrum of some solvents
overlaps with the product they dissolve, meaning
that fraction collection processes cannot distinguish
between solvent and product. Luckily, there is
technology that solves this problem.

Pyrazines are a class of organic molecules often used to provide flavor to foods. They are typically synthesized but some are found in fruits and vegetables, e.g. grapes, bell peppers, peas, asparagus, beetroot, tobacco, and roasted foods. Pyrazine's heterocyclic chemistry can yield some challenges to their purification due to the various separation kinetics between the compound and silica. Biotage SNAP Ultra.

In medicinal chemistry, organic synthesis will generate by-products with similar chemistry to the product. Separating these impurities from the product often becomes a challenge that often only prep HPLC can achieve.
In this poster, we discuss how using sample dry loading with a cation exchange scavenger media with flash chromatography
improves product purity by removing many of the impurities.

Improvements in solid phase peptide synthesis strategies and
development of resin linkages susceptible to low acid cleavage
conditions has enabled synthesis of long peptides while keeping the
protecting groups intact. This strategy is now used for the
preparation of chemically synthesized proteins, wherein shorter
peptide fragments are ligated together. They are also found in the
synthesis of peptide macrocycles that utilize head-to-tail cyclization strategies. Although linear synthesis of protected peptides is generally straightforward, purification of these compounds using traditional reversed phase methods is quite challenging. Herein we describe the use of normal phase chromatography for purification of fully protected peptides.

Natural product chemistry deals with discovering the previously unknown in nature. Compounds found in nature are typically found in low quantity and thus extractions are needed to isolate certain compounds classes or at least compounds with similar solubility.

For most organic and natural product chemists flash
chromatography is a necessary part of their research. As such, many chemists need quick isolation of at least one desired component from a crude mixture in relatively high yield and purity. This need for speed, purity, and yield pits these desires against each other as you can typically optimize on only two of the three goals.
In this poster, we will describe some techniques that help chemists optimize flash purification and maximize speed, yield, and purity.
Tags: English, Posters
Although capable of very high resolution, RP-HPLC is often limited by low column loading capacity, therefore demanding a significant time investment for peptide purification. As an alternative strategy, reversed-phase flash chromatography can also be used to purify synthetic peptides. The larger particle size used in flash column chromatography enables much larger loading capacity, thereby significantly reducing the time required for peptide purification.
Tags: Posters
When it comes to polar organic compound purification,
many chemists turn to normal-phase flash
chromatography often utilizing dichloromethane and
methanol as the eluting solvents. While this can work, it
often can be challenging to optimize due to methanol's
high polarity and protic chemistry.
Tags: English, Posters
As reversed-phase flash chromatography gains traction in
medicinal chemistry labs the need to monitor its cost and
safety are becoming more important. Commonly used
reversed-phase solvents typically include water with an
organic solvent such as methanol or acetonitrile – each
have advantages and disadvantages.
Tags: English, Posters
For those chemists performing organic synthesis, reaction mixture purification by flash column chromatography is an integral and necessary part of the synthesis process. However, flash chromatography consumes large volumes of solvent which either needs to be recycled or disposed.
Tags: Posters
Reversed-phase chromatography is typically used when you need to separate several milligrams of relatively polar compounds that either are not soluble in normal-phase solvents or are not compatible with bare silica
because they react, stick, or both. If you are currently using reversed-phase at preparative scale, such as flash chromatography, you know the mobile phase limitations – water with either methanol, acetonitrile, or
THF. As with normal-phase flash chromatography, when it comes time to purify you want your crude sample fully solubilized in the weakest possible solvent at the highest possible concentration.
Tags: Posters
DMSO and DMF are suitable injection solvents for reversed-phase flash purification. DMSO shows it can be loaded in larger volumes (up to 0.05 mL/g of C18 media or 3.5% of a column volume) without affecting chromatographic separations or carrying compounds with it.
Tags: Posters
New, higher default flow rates enabled by Isolera ACI systems decreases purification times compared to other systems' and cartridges' default flow rate settings without sacrificing separation efficiency. Incorporation of gradient optimization by converting a linear gradient to a step gradient further reduces purification time and solvent use while maintaining separation integrity for a target molecule.
Tags: Posters
SNAP Ultra cartridges increase purification throughput and product purity compared to larger standard silica cartridges.
Tags: Posters
Using the Biotage automated workflow, models have shown that the time taken to produce a target molecule can be reduced by up to eighty percent, allowing project delivery timescales to be reduced
Tags: Product Notes
Traditional approaches to compound purification involving chromatography utilize large volumes of relatively toxic and expensive solvents, and significantly contribute to the environmental footprint of organizations involved in molecular research. Current directives for greener chemistry have put pressure on organizations to reduce the
environmental impact of their work.
Tags: Product Notes
To save money on consumables, many chemists choose to reuse
silica flash cartridges. This is true but risks purification results because chromatographic separation performance will change from run to run which reduces purification quality, especially in normal phase systems.
Regardless of the cartridge brand used, repeated use of silica flash cartridges results in loss of compound resolution and therefore fraction purity.

With running costs and time a concern in most labs, ACI™ now promises to take users to the end point even faster and even more efficiently.

Precision engineered Biotage SNAP Ultra cartridges deliver double
the purification capacity utilizing small particle spherical silica with
an 40% increase in surface area. This proprietary silica reduces
peak width and provides higher concentration fractions with less

"I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony…"
So went an iconic Coke commercial, made in the late 70s. The vibe was all about global harmony, unity and peace. Yet since then, Coke's record for achieving these noble goals has been abysmal: the company lobbies for GMO crops and against consumer's right to know that they're eating GMOs; uses water to make their product in areas where potable water is scarce and people go thirsty; oppresses workers who fight for union rights, and of course makes a product that's far from healthy.
One group has an idea that could make Coke a little less evil, though–the Buy the World a Hope Movement is trying to get Coke to nix its advertising budget–which is in the billions–for one year, and use the money instead to buy a protected chunk of rainforest instead. It's a great, simple idea, and could amount to the best 'advertising' campaign Coke ever did.

She was only 16, only 16, already a 6-footer, and from Baltimore, not exactly the cradle of tennis champions. "I was a pretty unusual package," Pam Shriver was saying the other day, thinking back to the late summer of 1978, when she became the youngest U.S. Open finalist ever.
Her racket was the strangest part of it all, though. She just had to walk onto a court at the Open and the crowds started humming. Her racket was . . . was . . . just amazing. It was this big butterfly net laced up tightly with acres and acres of string. A racket on steroids. A mutant.
It was radical, much the same as Cal Ripken wearing a glove with 2-foot fingers, or swinging a bat the width of a telephone pole. Tennis rackets had been the same for a century. No one had seriously challenged the design.

TAMPA, Fla.
Tim Williams Youth Jersey
. -- Brian Roberts remembered back a decade ago, when he was standing on second base and Derek Jeter approached. "He just said, "You can hit .300 in this league," Roberts recalled Monday. "To hear it from somebody like that, it kind of opened your eyes." Not that he took Jeters analysis too literally. "I dont think its just me. I think he does it to everybody," Roberts said. "But for some reason when he tells it to you, you think youre the most important person in the world." Now theyre teammates, and Roberts has a locker next to Jeters in the New York Yankees spring training clubhouse. With a void at second base following the departure of Robinson Cano, the Yankees have given the position to Roberts, a two-time All-Star who made five trips to the disabled list totalling 481 days over the past four seasons. His many maladies included a strained abdominal muscle, pneumonia, two concussions (one self-inflicted), a groin strain, hip tear and hamstring strain. "I know he hasnt played a full season in the last few years and hes obviously a guy that has some age on him, too, but my plan is to run him out there almost every day," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Now 36, Roberts had hoped to be a Baltimore Orioles lifer, just like Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer and Cal Ripken Jr. "Ive come to love the city, the fans," he said in February 2009 when the Orioles gave him a contract guaranteeing $48 million over five years. "This was the only place I wanted to be the rest of my career." It didnt work out that way. After hitting .283 in 2009 with 16 homers, 79 RBIs and a big league-high 56 doubles, he missed most of the following spring training with a herniated disk in his back. His first concussion was sustained on Sept. 27, 2010, when he knocked himself on the batting helmet with his bat after striking out in the ninth inning at Tampa Bay. His total of 77 games last season was his highest since the injuries began, and the switch-hitter batted .249 with eight homers and 39 RBIs. Baltimore made no effort to keep him after he hit .246 with 15 homers and 78 RBIs over the past four years. The offensive performance would have been decent but not spectacular had he compiled it over a single season. "I dont know that you can necessarily put great words on how frustrating it is to have to sit on the sidelines and watch," Roberts said. "Ive had numerous times over the last three or four years where I wondered if, for one, Id be able to play again, and I think certainly going into last season I had no idea what the next year would hold, whether I would have a job in 2014, whether I wouldnt, whether Id want a job." New York signed him for the bargain price of $2 million, plus the chance to make $2.6 million in bonuses based on plate appearances. Hell be counted on for offence, given that the Yankees had 114 RBIs from second base last year, tops in the majors, according to STATS. "Theres going to be people that will want to look out there and say, Well, hes not Robby. And Im not going to be Robby. Im not going to try to be," Roberts said. "Im going to be Brian Roberts and, hopefully, thats good enough most days." New Yorks infield is more Take A Chance than Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance. First baseman Mark Teixeira played just 15 games last year because of a hand injury, and Jeters broken ankle limited him to 17. With Alex Rodriguez serving a season-long drug suspension, Kelly Johnson figures to platoon at third with Brendan Ryan, Eduardo Nunez and possibly Scott Sizemore. "Its not the infield that we had in 2009," Girardi said. "But we believe that theres a lot of capable players in here to put up offensive and defensive numbers, and when you look at those numbers as a whole, theyre going to be pretty good." Roberts remains in touch with his former Orioles teammates. "A lot of my closest friends in the world are there. So sure. Ive talked to them all in the last couple days. Is it weird? Is it different? Do I miss them? Yeah," he said before recounting his friendships with Jacoby Ellsbury, Jeter and Brian McCann. After Roberts spent 13 seasons in Baltimores black and orange, the Yankees pinstripes will take getting used to. Like McCann, he heard many people tell him "anybody but the Yankees" when he was a free agent. "You either love them or you hate them, right? And thats OK," he said. "Now I love them."

. Hes coming back to fulfil them. One of Europes top coaches, Blatt was hired Friday by the Cavaliers, who ended a sweeping, 39-day search with an out-of-the-box selection they hope changes their fortunes.
. The injury could land Machado on the 15-day disabled list, but its not as serious as it looked on Monday night, when the third baseman crumpled in a heap at the plate after taking an awkward swing in a game against the New York Yankees. TORONTO -- Randy Carlyle called Nazem Kadris performance Thursday night the best hes seen in a long time. Kadri had three assists extending his point streak to four games as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Florida Panthers 6-3. Nikolai Kulemin one-timed a Kadri feed at the four-minute mark of the third period for the game-winner. The assist was Kadris 100th career N.H.L. point. "Its a great achievement for myself, but hopefully theres a lot more to come," said Kadri, who has two goals and five assists on his current point steak. "You got to think to yourself when the points are coming easy, its just not all about that, you got to make sure youre good in your D zone, bearing down on face-offs and just allow the coaching staff to put you on the ice in those crucial situations." With the Leafs trailing 2-0 in the first, Kadri set up Cody Franson at 16:49 to get Torontos comeback rolling. Then with the Leafs leading 4-2 in the third, the 23-year-old London, Ont. native set up Joffrey Lupul at 6:22, on a power play, for the insurance marker. "Nazy was a difference maker tonight," said Carlyle. "Thats probably the best game hes played in a long time and at both ends of the rink obviously with the points and distributing the puck, that was making some big league plays." Toronto (29-21-6) also got goals from Mason Raymond, James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak as they extended their win streak on home ice to five games. Florida (21-26-7) got first period goals from Nick Bjugstad and Sean Bergenheim. Dmitry Kulikov had the other Panthers goal. "When a team comes out after theyve lost the period, theyre probably getting some bad words from the coach," said Kulikov. "We knew they were going to come out strong in the second period and we didnt handle it." Scott Clemmensen made 26 saves for his fifth loss of the season. Jonathan Bernier made 35 saves in the win. Toronto won five in a row on home ice from Oct. 22 to Nov. 19. The Leafs have just two regulation losses in their past 11 games. Florida scored ttwice on their first seven shots to open a 2-0 lead in the first period.

. Bjugstad opened the scoring 1:39 into the first, beating Bernier with a backhand blocker side for his 12th goal of the season. Bergenheim finished off a 2-on-1 feed from Brad Boyes at 13:50 to give the Panthers a two-goal lead. The assist was the 250th of Boyes career. "We were kind of stunned," said Carlyle. "The first shot on goal was in our net. It set us back a little bit and we werent really moving our feet. We seemed to find a way to get it going." It was all Toronto after that as the Leafs scored five unanswered goals. After Franson cut Floridas lead in the first, the Leafs scored twice in the first minute of the second period to take a 3-2 lead. Raymond scored off the rush, with a wrist shot, glove-side on Clemmensen 27 seconds into the period for his 14th of the season. Van Riemsdyk tipped a Phil Kessel shot past Clemmensen at 57 seconds of the second period, on a power play. With the goal, van Riemsdyk surpassed his previous single-season goals total of 21 set during the 2010-11 season while he was a member of the Philadelphia Flyers. Bozak finished off a 2-on-1 feed from Kessel at 18:37 of the third. "A few weeks ago, it felt like the s
ky was falling in Toronto," said Kadri of the four-
game losing streak. "We understood that it was nothing to panic about, we just rallied around each other. " Added Franson: "Were moving in the right direction and I dont know if you can call it a swagger, but our play is getting better and at the end of the day thats all youre looking to do is progressively progress." Toronto concludes its three-game home stand Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. Notes: Leafs coach Randy Carlyle expects David Clarkson (elbow) to return during the teams two-game road trip in Florida. a Toronto forward David Bolland (ankle) is 50-50 to return to the lineup prior to the Olympic break according to Carlyle. a Florida forward Shawn Matthias (illness) returned to the lineup Thursday.

Fast forward and I'm just back from two weeks in Uganda thanks to a very understanding boss in my other school and the British Council.
We had to spend at least four days at our partner school in Mbarara teaching and learning. We had criteria and guidelines to follow which saw me teaching a class on peace and conflict as well as imparting some of our music and songs from the UK in reciprocation for being shown some of their choir's repertoire.
My travelling companion (one of our senior school maths teachers) had carried out around 10lbs worth of unifix type blocks in order to teach maths with a practical bias. These proved (whilst we were there) to be very popular.
One of the things we needed to note were the resources that we can try to raise funds for back in the UK. Much other their teaching is done via rote learning, chalk and talk and not much individual thought or practical work. Some of the things we felt were pretty essential in the younger end of the school are sandpaper letters and numerals, pencil grips and pencil sharpeners. There is also a need for more unifix so that each class has a set.
We were hosted for the week by the director of the school and her family. This wonderful family gave us the most amazing week. We met their family and friends and were treated like princesses.
Once the first week was up, we had booked on a safari and a gorilla trek. The latter was going to be the highlight of the trip to me. I have been slightly obsessed with gorillas ever since being entranced by Dian Fossey's book and the film, Gorillas in the Mist.
Once the first week was up, we had booked on a safari and a gorilla trek. The latter was going to be the highlight of the trip to me. I have been slightly obsessed with gorillas ever since being entranced by Dian Fossey's book and the film, Gorillas in the Mist.
To cut a long story short, we ended up at Bwindi via an amazing trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Bwindi is home to a large number of the 900 or so Gorillas that live within the Congolese, Rwandan and Ugandan divisions of the forest. Bwindi is also the place of a community hospital where a good friend of mine worked for about five years.
On the eve of our tracking experience, we went for walk and I mentioned to Mel (my partner in crime) about Paul and Vicky's time at Bwindi and how it'd be nice to have a look around the hospital and put a picture to the blog I read at the time. She did suggest we could try to fit it in, but I declined, too excited about the primates.
Not 12 hours later I found myself within the confines of Bwindi Community Hospital as a patient. Not exactly how I wanted things to turn out.
A nasty bout of food poisoning and severe dehydration had me testing out the facilities to the full. Our driver and Mel had to carry me into the hospital as for me, the world was rather blurry and very yellow. Miles of distance doesn't make for an easy, calming phonecall to your husband when you're in a rural African hospital with an, at the time, undiagnosed illness. However, the support of the doctors at Bwindi, my friend Paul and Mel, I think Mr Beehive held it all together pretty well (until the airport ;-) )
Sadly, the gorillas (for me) were a no go. It is highly important, regardless of how well one might feel, that the gorillas are not subjected to unfavourable germs. Their population is sensitive enough without us humans creating more reasons for their demise.
Now back on UK soil, feeling slightly more philosophical than I did at the time, I can almost laugh about my naive comments the night before. The care I received at Bwindi was second to none and I am very grateful to all the staff there keeping me in the picture as much as they could, ensuring that my friends and family back home were kept up to date with developments and getting me better as fast as they did.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back another time. Here are a few photos:

NBC's Shades of Blue stars Jennifer Lopez as the character Harlee Santos, a detective who works for the New York Police Department, particularly in the FBI Anti-Corruption Task Force.
In the first season, Lopez's character was pegged to be corrupt and this was due to her ties with her family and having to deal with financial problems. Reportedly, she was accused of killing her then-partner Miguel Zepeda (Antonio Jaramillo) after attempting to rape her. Also, Santos is a single parent to a 17-year old daughter.

According to Movie News Guide, the second installment of the series was supposed to be aired last month, but, unfortunately, it did not happen. However, reports are now circulating that its possible release would likely fall early next year following a pattern from the show's pilot season launched on Jan. 7 of this year.
Master Herald reported that actress Lopez was spotted several times last month in Queens filming scenes for Shades of Blue Season 2. She was seen in the areas of 31st road and 31st Avenue. The actress was also spotted in Brooklyn together with co-stars Ray Liotta before going to Queens.
In the season finale of the show, Santos had decided to come clean to Lieutenant Matt Wozniak about her exploits with the FBI and with Agent Robert Stahl (Warren Kole).
Wozniak, on the other hand, told Santos that everything's forgiven and in that particular moment, Santos disclosed to Wozniak some vital Intel information that would let Wozniak find ways to escape detection by the FBI anti-corruption task force.

That particular scene concerning what Intel Santos disclosed to Wozniak hinted a spoiler on what's going to happen in Season 2.
Just like in season 1, the second installment will also cover 13 episodes.

New week. New quotes:
• "The only difference now is that the executive branch is far more engaged." — Missouri House Speaker Tim Jones, a Republican,on the efforts of Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon
in the recently concluded special session, to pass a special incentive bill for Boeing.
That bill passed, and Jones was offering rare words of praise for a governor he's clashed with often in recent months. Thank a very tight deadline for focusing the minds of Democrats and Republicans in Missouri's capital city.
• "Where are property taxes going to go for local governments? Let's all say it together: Up." — Johnson County manager Hannes Zacharias.
Zacharias was lamenting the impact of reductions in state and federal aid to local governments. He told the Topeka Capital Journal that Johnson County was exposed to "death by a thousand cuts" as state aid tumbled 16 percent since 2008. But similar property-tax increases are in store for counties and municipalities across the state given the recent cuts in state revenue. One big 2014 political question: Will property owners experience enough pain by election day that they opt for a new governor?
• "In terms of the normal planning that goes into a presidential event, most of that would not apply." — Dan Rosenthal, who worked for President Clinton planning public events around the world. He was speaking about President Barack Obama'sdecision to fly to South Africa
for Tuesday's Nelson Mandela funeral.
Unusually quick turnaround for an overseas trip, to be sure. But Obama wouldn't miss this event for anything.
• "I personally see (terrorism) spreading like a spider web, like a wildfire through Northern Africa and the Middle East." — Texas Congressman Mike McCaul, a Republican and chair of the House Homeland Security Committee.
Once again, a lot of us, including members of Congress, aren't thinking too much about terrorism. We're too busy digging ourselves out of a deep recession. But maybe our leaders need to refocus our attention on it.

This guy is married for couple year but he was not really happy before he caught his young wife cheating on him. His sexy wife humiliating him by making watch and please her while fucked by another guy.
It all starts with hiring a private investigator to check this babe's ass. Unfortunately for P.I. this woman was not cheating on his client and was a good girl when he is away. But the only way for an investigator to get paid was to bust this chick in the act, and the easiest way to do that was to fuck her tight pussy by himself.
When P.I. was sure his sissy client got exactly what he wanted, he planned on doing it just that right in front of him!

Editor's note: The following story was originally written in November 2007. More stories from Gerry Lopez can be found at The Cleanest Line.
Yesterday I scored big. It was one of those rare days which left me so pumped up when it was over I knew I was going to have trouble falling asleep. I figured I better write it down before the afterglow faded, and later I could savor it again. One of the sad things about surfing is that the best memories are fleeting. Before one knows it, they have all but disappeared, erased like they never existed. Sometimes when the focus is so intense, the concentration so great, it seems as though they don't even get recorded.
Many times I have finished a wave to find a blank space in my mind about what just occurred during that ride. Although peculiar, it happens with great regularity. By carefully recalling the few moments of actual thoughts, like the decision to catch that wave, or maybe an incident like someone in the way or a person yelling, I may be able to piece together the whole ride. But often as not, should there be some distraction, like another set coming, or just not having that momentary space to reflect back, then that ride may as well be gone. It did happen, and how it unfolded possibly went into one of those many file cabinets of the mind, but the key to access that drawer is lost. Even as I sit here and write only a day afterwards recollection of those waves has begun to go hazy.
The easy part to remember is what got me there. In the build up of most surf stories, the foundation is usually the waves. These days, with Internet surf forecasting, checking the surf has taken on an entirely new meaning. In the beginning several decades of my surfing career, I simply looked out at the sea and decided whether to paddle out or not.
Modern satellite imagery, storm information as well as sophisticated marine buoys that monitor swell direction and heights, wave intervals and wind speeds make amateur forecasting pretty simple. Of course, there are also professionals who make a business of doing the same thing. For a fee or even for free, one touch of the keyboard and the information to make that same decision days in advance is quickly available.
A big swell was coming, that much all the various forecasting services had agreed on. A storm out of the Gulf of Alaska had made that a certainty. The wind and surface conditions forecast also looked favorable. Web cams make it even easier, an instant and current picture of exactly the same view I used to have from shore. Whether I'm on the beach or 200 miles away, the decision is as it always was: Do I go or do I stay? This time I pulled the trigger, loaded up my stuff, and hit the road.
Less than four hours later, I had my first real look. My expectations were slightly deflated, but still the surf wasn't bad. It had size and the wind was enough offshore for the wave faces to be clean. The spot I was at, although the closest from my home, was my second choice. An early morning call from a friend at my first choice reported an unfavorable wind. The wind I was seeing was perfect for my first choice spot, but that was another hour or more away and I was already here.
I wrestled into my wetsuit and paddled out. The waves were well overhead, but mushy, with an ill-defined lineup and hard to catch. On my stand-up paddleboard, I had better luck than the surfers on regular boards, but the session proved lackluster.
Three hours later, I had changed back into dry clothes and was ready to go somewhere else but couldn't decide where. I finally got through to my friend up north, but his report was not encouraging.
Plagued by indecision, I ran through my options. The surf was coming up more even though it was already head-and-a-half to double-overhead on the big sets. The wind should continue to come from a good direction, although the approaching storm would increase it dramatically. What the heck, I had nothing more important to do, and all the next day to do it. I headed north.
The next morning, in the predawn grey I strained to see what the waves were doing. First indications looked small. As it became lighter, it was obviously very small. Hoping the swell would be coming soon; I suited up, trudged up the beach, and paddled out to join the other dawn patrollers at the outside lineup.
Six or seven surfers were already clustered in the lineup, but the only waves I saw were chest-high at the biggest and not very consistent. The anticipation was high and the crowd amped up, but there was nothing to spend their pent-up energy on. Every once in a while a single wave, or maybe a set of two, would roll in, but that was it. Definitely not enough to go around for the growing number of surfers with expectations of a lot more than was available. Two hours later and only three weak waves to my tally, I surrendered. As I walked back with several of the guys who live there, they all spoke of the buoy readings that morning of 30-foot waves with a 15-second interval, significant indicators. We were all puzzled by the lack of surf.

We grew up in Wildwood, NJ. We enjoyed the beach and boardwalk throughout our lives. As children we remember playing in the white sandy beach of Wildwood, building sand castles and digging in the sand until we hit water, which wasn't very deep, but fun to a youngster. As a teenager, we spend hours on the boardwalk, later holding our first jobs on the boardwalk. As adults, we love bringing our children here to enjoy the beauty and fun of Wildwood. And as in prior years, Wildwood is now holding beach concerts. We hope you enjoy our home and your stay in Wildwood, NJ USA.
Our Parents left this property to us to share and enjoy for many years to come. Thank you for considering a stay in our home.

This property contains all the amenities of home. It is a short distance from the Boardwalk, Waterpark, Sightseer Boat Ride, Convention Center and Beach, yet far enough away to enjoy quiet nights rest.
We all had a great time staying here for the week, we are all greatful for the house you rented to us it was perfect and we made a lot of memories that will not be forgotten! It was very roomy and fit our group of friends perfectly. It was a great experience!
Everything was as advertised. The kitchen was a little tiny for our 10 people and smaller chairs might have helped that, but we managed.
We had a great time!
The property needs some maintenance. Some of the blinds don't work, the front storm door needs to be replaced, it doesn't stay closed because the closer is missing and there is a 1.5" open gap at the bottom to let in critters and the living room carpet needs to be pulled up and replaced because of stains and tears. The previous tenant left us a dirty ashtray and lighter on the coffee table so obviously the house smelled of smoke. They also left a huge pile of trash piled up against the house, more trash than we make in a month or two. The dryer wasn't correctly attached to the outside-vent so the house got hot whenever we used the dryer. The house needs more than the perfunctory cleaning between renters, it needs the windows cleaned inside and out. It needs whatever is causing the nasty smell in the bathroom taken care of. When I emailed Gwendolyn about locating some replacement light bulbs, a nice woman showed up within the hour with replacements. She did refund our cleaning deposit. My grandsons enjoyed being next to the firehouse. Thankfully, they don't sound their sirens as they are going out on a call. There is an Acme a few blocks away. There is a yummy ice cream place an easy walk away and a miniature golf place nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and looked to be more residential renters than vacation renters. We were a bit farther away from the beach than we would have liked but there is a nice ramp onto the beach one block north off the boardwalk for strollers. Right next to the monster trucks! Another grandson favorite. We needed a place without stairs for my parents and a place that accepted dogs for my grand puppy. Both of which this house did.
I have enjoyed my stay at this location. Hospitality was extra extraordinary, Was welcomed from the door, place was comfortable and very clean. Everything we needed was at our exposure, close to the beach was a plus location was wonderful, neighbor were quite. each respected ones parking. would love to come back in the future.
Can't wait to return.. Felt like we were Home Owner was very friendly and made herself available if and when we needed her. Location close to beach and shopping centers made the stay great. So happy we could bring our dog there was a big field right next to the property where he could run and we play frisbee with him.. Definitely recommend this location you will not be disappointed
I loved my weekend in Wildwood. The house was made into a comfortable environment as if I were staying at a friend or relatives house. I utilized just about everything, such as the refrigerator and oven, which saved me some money because I was able to cook and store food I brought at the local Acme without spending money on takeout. I was able to walk to the beach and saved me money on parking. Also had a washer and dryer available which came in handy after the beach. The rooms were beautiful with a different feel to each. My kids stayed in the room with the twin beds which was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Of all the sports presented by CBS, the Daytona 500 has been the network's most consistent performer.
So says Lou D'Ermilio, associate director of CBS Sports.
"It has been the most stable of all our sports," D'Ermilio said of the ratings for auto racing. "It has broken 10 and been a consistent performer in the nines. Last year, it came down to 7.9, but last year every sport's rating came down."
CBS will broadcast the Daytona 500 live for the 13th consecutive year Sunday, from noon to 3:45 p.m.
The network also has announced that in addition to carrying the Twin 125-mile qualifying races (a delay broadcast tomorrow from 2:30 to 4 p.m.), the live coverage of the Daytona 500, the Michigan 400, and the DieHard 500 at Talladega, it will add live coverage of The Winston, an all-star race for winners the previous year, from Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 19.

Brocade takes pride in providing onsite training to our customers, even in parts of the world where life itself is at risk. A Brocade training recently finished up in the Northwest edge of the Kuwaiti desert, about 40 km from the Iraq border. This site is home to one of the world's largest live fire training grounds, as well as home to a new deployment of Brocade ICX Switches.
The base facility where Brian, the instructor, was set to teach wasn't the average classroom. Brian was given keys to a tent and told that was where the training would take place. As men and women of the armed forces arrived for training and took their seats, he instantly felt at home.
The audience spanned from highly seasoned admins to entry level engineers. At the end of the week, there were many comments about how great the training had been and how it has expanded their perspective to include new solutions, giving them a deeper understanding of how networks function.
The audience left with not only with an understanding of the platform, but with enthusiasm about taking their Brocade Certified Network Professional exams. A couple of the students went out of their way the following week to let Brian know that they had already became the newest additions to the BCNP-certified community.
Brocade offers a wide variety of instructor-led training, delivered by Brocade Authorized Training Partners (ATPs) and is eager to teach our customers around the world about the future of networking.

Some tips for growing organic vegetables include starting right, feeding naturally, practicing rotation, mulching and weeding. Plan good growing environments for the types of vegetables you want to grow, which means choosing a sunny location and ensuring good soil conditions. Additionally, success may depend on choosing disease-resistant plants, which you should find on seed packets, plant tags and in organic gardening catalogs. Good soil seldom needs fertilizers, but vegetables do grow faster if fed with organic matter.Continue Reading
Organic fertilizers include aged manure from animals that eat plants, including rabbits, horses, sheep or chickens. Composting provides a good source of organic matter as well. If the soil is rich, it may be advisable not to fertilize.
Rotating crops is a defense against diseases that attack certain vegetables. Try to plant vegetables in the tomato family, including tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and eggplant, in new spots each year. The other family that needs rotation is the squash family, which includes squash, pumpkin, cucumber and watermelon. An inch or two of mulch helps reduce weeds and fungi. Mulch made from organic matter decomposes and adds to the fertility of the soil.
Remove weeds to prevent competition for nutrients and water as well as disease-spreading insects. Soaker water hoses save water and deliver water to the roots, helping prevent diseases induced by wet leaves. Also, space between plants helps prevent fungal diseases by allowing a good flow of air.Learn more about Outdoor Plants & Flowers

The trim work on the front of the Borina Barn was finished during the first week of March. It has been three years from the time we started building until it was finally finished. To some people it seems like a long time, but all of the work was accomplished by volunteers!
I want to take this time to thank the volunteers who helped put on all of finishing touches to the building: Tom Stickel, Alex Biondi, Dallas Laatsch, Barney Stephens and Lynne Grossi. Thanks also goes to Stan Nielsen for the survey work, Jim Scurich for the use of his Boom Lift and David Kegebein for the use of his Scissor Lift. A big THANK YOU to all.
Traditionally, when we finish a project we have a party to celebrate our accomplishments and the completion of the Borina Barn is no exception. On Saturday, Aug. 1 we will dedicate both the Building and the Founding of the Agricultural History Project with a Barbecue and some very special speakers.
Sandy Lydon, who wrote the preface for Mike Wallace's book, "The Borina Family of Watsonville," will be here to speak about the Borina family and their contribution to agriculture. We will have another very special guest speaker — Jim Panetta. It will be a special honor and pleasure to have Jim because his Dad, then Congressman Leon Panetta,spoke at our very first event 30 year ago. At that event, Fred Silva had a team of horses pulling a one-row cultivator and I have a great picture of Congressman Panetta driving those horses! We are planning to again have Fred Silva's Draft Horses at the celebration.
So be sure to mark Saturday, Aug.1 on your calendar and watch for more information about the Celebration.
