With so much turbulence lately in the brokerage industry, many advisers may be thinking about their next move, including a switch to independence.
Still, advisers who have spent their careers with a wirehouse or regional broker-dealer may wonder if the perceived risks outweigh the potential upside.
A TD Ameritrade Institutional survey this year found that among brokers considering a switch to the registered investment adviser model, there are three main fear factors that keep them pulling the trigger: financial uncertainty, business operation risks and the potential for losing clients.
Let's look at each of these concerns and see whether, instead of serving as obstacles, they can become motivators for pursuing greater success.
1. Financial uncertainty. Becoming an RIA means giving up steady income from an employer, yet for the entrepreneurial adviser looking for more opportunity, this fear may be largely unfounded.
For example, more than 75% of advisers who become RIAs said that they were better off financially, according to a recent Envestnet industry study.
RIAs keep 100% of the revenue that they generate. They also fund 100% of their operating expenses, yet those expenses are often much lower than many advisers realize.
"After becoming an independent RIA, our firm was more profitable," says Ryder Brose, a partner at Baker Brose & Mitsutome Wealth Management in Walnut Creek, California.
"Even as our assets under management grew, our expenses remained the same. This is a key difference between the RIA and the independent broker-dealer model, where a firm's expenses are largely based on the assets they manage," Brose says.
Perhaps more importantly, RIAs build business equity that may be monetized down the road.
2. Operational risk. Moving to a new business model is a big commitment, yet this transition can be successful because of the many third parties offering support services to help RIAs launch and operate their firms.
Custodians, for example, offer streamlined new-account opening and dedicated transition resources. Technology companies and other vendors also offer transition resources to help streamline the process.
Custodians also serve as record keepers of RIA firm assets and work to offer a full range of investment solutions to suit the needs of advisers and their clients.
An open approach means that an RIA can select the products that are most appropriate for their clients without pressure to promote an employer's proprietary products or services. A custodian offering a fully open architecture means that advisers also can make their own decisions on every key business investment, including technology.
Significant tech innovations over the past decade have improved efficiencies for advisers and the experience of their clients.
By choosing from the offerings of third-party vendors, independent advisers can use technology that exceeds what is available at wirehouses and independent broker-dealers, according to a 2015 study by Advisor Growth Strategies.
"You'd be hard-pressed to find a technology platform that's better than what I have at my firm," says Craig Moddelmog, president and chief investment officer of Cornerstone Wealth Management in Fort Collins, Colorado.
"I balance entire portfolios and open new accounts in minutes," he says. "Think about the amount of capacity that's been freed up so I can spend more time with clients."
3. Client uncertainty. Advisers who move to the RIA channel typically see 91% of their targeted assets transfer with them, according to industry research firm Cerulli Associates.
Cornerstone Wealth Management, for example, has seen its client assets grow by 50% since becoming an RIA three years ago.
To be sure, starting an RIA requires a significant investment of time to learn new systems, establish business processes and build a brand, among other challenges. Even so, many of these business expenses are one-time investments, while the long-time growth potential for RIAs is expected to be high.
RIA assets have grown an average of 11% a year over the past five years, compared with 8.6% across all wealth management channels, according to Cerulli Associates.
Fears aside, advisers who want to work more as business owners may want to consider the RIA channel. The model can offer more control over how they serve their clients, compared with working for a firm in the employee advisory channel that covers all the aspects of running a business.

Glee Episode Scoop: Brittany to Sing Britney!Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Over the last few weeks, Glee creator Ryan Murphy has made two statements:
- The character of Brittany (played by Heather Morris) will receive more air time on season two.
- The show will pay tribute to Britney Spears.
Now, Murphy has combined those spoilers and revealed that Morris will sing at least two Britney hits on the upcoming episode dedicated to the pop star. Simply put, "Heather's actually got a terrific voice," he told TV Guide.
Brittany can do Madonna (and, in real life, Heather Morris danced back-up for Beyonce), but Glee fans will soon find out if she can also cover Britney.
Last month Morris told E! News: "I heard there's a Britney Spears episode coming up and fingers crossed that I get to sing, because I play Brittany and I'm like, 'Oh my god, it's insane.'"
You can uncross those fingers now, Heather. The insanity is a reality.

Muscles that are gained through working out in a gym and may make a man look strong, but in reality they are gained just for show, like on a beach (hence the name), and therefore are not indicative of toughness or fortitude.
Mike "The Situation" has beach muscles. He looks strong but if he ever got in a fight with someone who was actually tough he would get his ass beat because he only has Beach Muscles.

How To Be a Woman on a Woman-Hating Beat?
Adam Reilly of the Boston Phoenix makes an interesting connection between ESPN's prompt response to the creepy nude tape of sportscaster Erin Andrews and its extended silence on the rape allegations against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger . If ESPN truly understood from the Andrews case the abusive relationship between women and the world of pro sports, Reilly argues, it should have known the importance of covering the rape charges. He writes:
The diminishment of women is part of pro sports' DNA. Think of the NFL's cheerleaders and the NBA's "dancers," for example, or Playboy's "Sexiest Sportscaster" contest, or the prolific promiscuity of pro athletes as a group. (As Kevin Elster of the New York Mets once told Sports Illustrated: "You can get sex every night. On the road. At home. It doesn't matter.")
That doesn't mean Roethlisberger is guilty of rape, he goes on. It just means ESPN has a responsibility to report on the news that he's been accused of it.
There was a lot of talk following the Erin Andrews incident of how hard it is to be a woman sportscaster, to function and gain respect in a world that so degrades women. These same issues come up for women covering hip-hop, another world frequently accused of "hating women." In a roundtable discussion years ago about hip-hop journalism , Dream Hampton, who co-wrote Jay-Z's autobiography, The Black Book , told an upsetting tale of the sort of threats she encountered covering the genre. While she was working on a profile of Dr. Dre, Hampton learned of accusations that he had hit another female reporter. Soon after, the owner of Dr. Dre's record label told Hampton during an interview that "she shouldn't say anything stupid in print that might cause her to 'get her face all fucked up.'"
What is it going to take for sports and hip-hop to be safe beats for women? Will these problems dissipate as more women reporters flood the scene, or does there need to be some more profound shift at the core of these often misogynistic institutions?

Chapter 7: Into Columbia SDS, 1966 (xiii)
I wrote a song titled "The SDS Kids" around this time, which reflected my feeling that, prior to meeting "The SDS Kids," all the men around me seemed cold emotionally and morally dead. As we built for a possible strike against class-ranking for the draft, life for me became one meeting after another, leafleting, bumping into other SDS people and chatting, and becoming part of a high-energy whirlwind. I had entered a world in which many people were activist and similar in value-structure to me. I wasn't involved romantically with anyone. But I had started to forget about my love for Beth because she didn't involve herself with Columbia SDS as an activist and didn't even attend SDS rallies. All of a sudden I was meeting all these leftist people at once and was so busy that I almost didn't feel lonely anymore.
One thing I liked about Columbia SDS people is that they evaluated students primarily on the basis of their politics and their level of political commitment. Columbia SDS men who were romantically involved with Barnard "chicks," though, did have more status than unattached New Left men. Barnard leftist women who were sexually open or considered physically attractive also had higher status within Columbia SDS circles than leftist women who were unattached or not considered physically attractive. But Barnard leftist women who were politically active and energetic were still highly regarded, even if they lacked a boyfriend or were regarded as physically unattractive.
Barnard leftist women were expected to accept politically subordinate leadership roles within SDS. But neither male nor female New Leftists questioned the male supremacist pattern of political organization within Columbia SDS until 1969.
I continued to find myself being drawn towards Teddy in a brotherly, comradely sort of way. He seemed to have sorted out the important things in life from the clutter and always had time to talk with you about anything. I also was really growing fond of Nancy, who now lived with him in the W. 115th St. apartment.
A united front was formed with other campus organizations to end class-ranking for the Selective Service System by Columbia. As a result of this united front of students, Frank—the 1967 head of Citizenship Council—drew closer to Columbia SDS circles and became more radicalized.
I had first met Frank on Election Day in NYC in 1965. In exchange for us recording voting results at a particular city polling place for NBC News' computers, to enable NBC to project an election winner faster than CBS or ABC, Citizenship Council received some donation from NBC for Citizenship Council's community service programs. As we returned from the polling place where we had gathered figures for NBC's computer, Frank said: "It's a dirty war. A totally dirty war. We never had any business going into Viet Nam after the French left. And there's no way I'm going to serve in the military as long as we're still in Viet Nam."
Frank was a beardless, thin guy of about 6 feet, who usually wore glasses. He had grown up in Douglaston Manor, on the other side of the tracks from the Beech Hills development where I had lived as a child. The son of an upper-middle-class white Catholic medical doctor, Frank was a good-natured, easygoing, non-materialistic, socially concerned, anti-racist liberal when I first met him.
Frank didn't dress bohemian in February 1967, had short hair and did not consider himself a freak at that time. But he kept himself awake in his Furnald Hall single dorm room during his 1966-67 senior year at Columbia by taking Dexedrine. Frank used to get his Dexedrine from his father's supply in Douglaston Manor. He shared some of the Dexedrine with me that spring one night, when I had to stay up all night to study for a final.
Because Frank more accurately reflected the pre-radicalized mass political mood at Columbia, he—not anyone from Columbia SDS—was the chief spokesperson at the mass united front vigil we held outside Low Library, prior to a trustees meeting which was to decide whether to continue sending class-ranking information to the U.S. draft boards. The Columbia Administration, on this occasion, conceded to our demand and class-rankings were no longer sent by Columbia to the draft boards.

No. 7 Baruch sweeps York (N.Y.) for fifth consecutive CUNYAC title
NEW YORK -- No. 7 Baruch swept York (N.Y.) to win its fifth conecutive CUNYAC Championship on Friday night at CCNY's Nat Holman Gymnasium.
The Bearcats earned CUNYAC's automatic berth to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament that will be hosted by MIT on April 26-28 in Cambridge, Mass. The NCAA will announce the nine-team bracket on Sunday.
The championship is Baruch's seventh in the past eight years and eight overall in team history. Seven of the eight championships have come under the leadership of Allison and Justin Stack since 2006.
The Bearcats began the day by defeating Brooklyn College with scores of 25-13, 25-16, 25-18 to return to play in their ninth consecutive CUNYAC Championship. However, unlike the past nine years where the Bearcats found themselves playing Hunter, the Bearcats played a new opponent in York this year after it upset Hunter in five sets.
The Cardinals have played the Bearcats tough this season and took a set in each of their two head-to-head matches. However, with the NCAA berth awaiting the winner, the Bearcats wasted no time in recording a convincing 25-11, 25-18, 25-10 victory to win the championship.
For the second year in a row, Jack McKee was named yournament MVP with 13 kills, hitting .571 to go along with two blocks. He has totaled 40 kills in his two championship match performances.
Brady Ambro continues his outstanding rookie season with 10 kills hitting .500 with 11 digs. Rookie Scott Standring dished out 29 assists and Nick Smith had seven digs. Martin Joksimovik had six blocks in a major defensive effort to help lift Baruch to the title.

GALLERY: Tigresses continue winning momentum
AUSSIE RULES: Bakers Creek Tigresses' put in their best team effort all year at the weekend, their coach Ian Rix said.
He said everything they had been working on at training, like their forward structure, was starting to pay off.
And it has shown with their past three wins, particularly last week when Bakers defeated reigning premiers, Mackay Magpies, for the first time.
Rix said it was a huge confidence boost for the Tigresses as they prepare to take on competition front runners, North Mackay Saints, next weekend.
"The girls are really excited about it, the Saints gave us a bit of a touch up about five weeks ago," he said.
"The girls have taken that on board and can see what extra effort is needed to win those kind of games."
Rix said they would be focussing on putting pressure on the Saints' ball carriers and runners.
"They have good skills and they're a quick team. We need to try and stop that clean disposal they get and stop their run," he said.
- Bakers Creek Tigresses d. Whitsunday Sea Eagles 65-6
- Mackay Magpies d. Mackay City Hawks 70-15

First-time Rover customers only.About MeHi there! My name is Arianeh, but you can call me Ari for short :) I'm just a big-hearted person who loves animals and wants to help you out with whatever your pack needs! I have my own dog that I love like a son (seriously). His story might give a little glimpse into who I am as a person: I rescued him from a fraudulent backyard breeder when he was only 7 weeks old. The night I got him, I had to take him to a 24 hour vet care where he was diagnosed with Parvo, cryptosporidum and giardia. All of the doctors told me to just put him down but I refused. After 13 long and hard days, he made it through!! If that wasn't enough, get this. . .about 3 months ago he had a tumor on his toe that tested positive for spindle cell sarcoma. He had to get surgery and amputate one of his digits. Once again we faced a life threatening condition but we came out on top! He's now healthy, cancer-free and enjoying life :DAside from my own pooch, I have about 5 years of dog sitting/walking experience. I have worked independently for friends, and other agencies while growing up. I work from home so I can give extra attention to the animals all day! I also have a super consistent schedule. I take Dexter on at least one walk per day throughout our beautiful neighborhood in Carlsbad Village. I also love taking him to the dog beach at Cardiff, and would love to take your pets, too! As far as the type of pets I love -- any and all! I don't discriminate between breeds, because that's just dumb lol. My only limitation right now is size and potty training. However, if you want me to come to your home and watch your pet, I am more than ok with any size! I am also comfortable working with all temperaments. Your pet is more than welcome to snuggle up with us on the couch and bed, and I would be more than happy to give them a bath for just a little extra upon request!I am so excited to join Rover and work with you and your furry family members! Looking forward to meeting you and your babies :) About My ServicesMy rate is $20.00 per night for dogs and $26/night for puppies (1 year or younger)
I prefer to sit the following sizes of dogs:
small (1-15 lbs)
medium (15-40 lbs),Raves from My CustomersI have 2 reviews on my Rover profile. Check out what these customers had to say:????? "Such a great pet sitter, so sweet and attentive to my dog! Looking forward to being able to travel without worry in the future because Ari can look after our pup!" --Jennifer F.????? "Nelson had the best time with Arianeh!

NAVCO offers video analytics that captures and delivers a wealth of data to help you drive smarter, faster, more profitable business decisions. Embedded into IP cameras, encoders and hybrid NVRs, video analytics software captures a wide range of events in real time, then sends you email and text alerts the instant a specific event occurs.

Beyond added security, video analytics software allows you to monitor and track customer as well as employee behaviors. With increased visibility into your operations, you'll be able to identify opportunities and act on them more quickly.
Control Who Has Access to Your Network
Protecting your business also means protecting the network that keeps your business connected and running. Today's businesses confront a wide range of threats from hackers and malicious entities trying to access networks. Passwords and biometrics can only go so far to protect your network from unauthorized access. Hackers are using increasingly sophisticated ways to get around firewalls and falsify credentials.
Let NAVCO provide an added layer of security to prevent unauthorized network access that can put your sensitive data at risk, wreak havoc on your operations and cost your company millions of dollars. Our Physical Building Access Control systems communicate intelligently with your network security system to identify the exact location of every employee and limit network access to only those users who have the proper credential and who are where they're supposed to be.

July 26 at 10 a.m. – Officers responded to Target, 621 West Edgar Road, on a report of a shoplifter in custody. Paterson resident Eric Roberts, 49, was arrested for allegedly shoplifting two flat screen televisions and other merchandise worth a total of $820. Police recovered a laptop computer that had also been reported stolen from his vehicle. Roberts was charged with shoplifting, possession of stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also being held on a contempt of court warrant from Irvington. Total bail was set at $35,200 and Roberts was transferred to Union County Jail. Additional charges were pending.
July 26 at 8:45 p.m. – In the vicinity of Willow Glade Road, Officers Ian Conk and Paul Zack arrested Elizabeth resident Ruben D. Vinanzaca, 30 and Harrison resident Victor A. Vinanzaca, 39, and issued them summons for violating municipal ordinances and illegally dumping trash.
July 27 at 12:51 a.m. – While on patrol on the 400 block of Amherst Road, officers Nicole Melchionna and Donald Barwick observed two men on bicycles and a third man leaning into a 2007 Honda. Because the area had been the site of a number of overnight car burglaries, the officers approached the suspects, but the men fled. After a brief foot chase, police arrested Roselle resident Lamair Leary, 19, and charged him with burglary of a vehicle, theft, and resisting arrest. Roselle residents Mychal Cox, 18, and Kyle Cox, 22, were charged with obstructing a police investigation.

If you've got a "bricked" Microsoft Windows Phone 7 smartphone following Monday's rollout of a new update, fret not, you aren't alone.
Turns out 1 in 10 people where affected by the update that saw some having to take matters into their own hands to get their phone working again.
"90 percent of people who've received an update notification have installed the new software patch successfully. (So when your turn to download it arrives, chances are good this will be a non-event.)," said Michael Stol in a blog post, clearly trying to play down the mess up before trying to shift the blame: "Of the 10 percent who did experience a problem, nearly half failed for two basic reasons - a bad Internet connection or insufficient computer storage space."
To those unfortunate 10 per cent, Stol says that "Luckily, both are easy to fix."
While that might be the case for some of that 10 per cent it's not the case for all of them, certainly the ones that can't get their phone to respond at all.
For those people it seems that Microsoft, Samsung and the carriers have left them on their own with repeated requests from Pocket-lint to Orange in the UK, Samsung and Microsoft for an answer, left unanswered.
Earlier in the week a Microsoft spokesman told Pocket-lint that it was pulling the Windows Phone 7 update for Samsung Omnia 7:
"We have identified a technical issue with the Windows Phone update process that impacts a small number of phones. In response to this emerging issue, we have temporarily taken down the latest software update for Samsung phones in order to correct the issue and as soon as possible will redistribute the update."
If you are affected our advice would be to go to the shop you bought it and request a replacement, regardless of when you bought it.

The general public can locate organizations near them, see what events are taking place around the state, or download fact sheets and information documents, fliers, etc. But the Hub was really created for the leaders of the patriot movement in Alabama...providing a private and secure communications tool where they can hash out ideas, ask questions, and maybe even vent a little, without the fear of their words being twisted and used against them.

Although the "green industry" is the fastest growing sector in U.S. agriculture and the second most important in terms of economic output, it often is overlooked, a Rutgers University professor and farm management specialist says.
"The U.S. leads the world in the production and marketing of these floriculture and nursery crops," Robin Brumfield, said at USDA's annual Agricultural Outlook Forum at Arlington, Va.
But, he says, after a decade of rapid growth, "a phenomenal 10 percent per year in the 1980s and about 5 percent in the 1990s," it appears the industry is now "in a mature market, with slower growth."
Even so, "Tremendous opportunity for growth still exists in the green industry. Unlike other agricultural commodities, which are limited by the size of the consumer's stomach, the growth potential for the green industry is almost unlimited." In 1997, consumers spent $16 billion retail on floriculture, the 12th highest in the world in terms of per capita expenditures ($59).
Americans are by far the leading consumers in the world of outdoor landscaping plants, in 1997 spending $37 billion on nursery crops ($138 per capita).
The green industry, which includes a wide variety of plants, shrubs, trees (including Christmas trees) and transplants for commercial truck crop production, has represented 11 percent or more of gross cash farm receipts, and despite a slow economy, the wholesale value of these crops has managed to grow ($14.2 billion in 2001).
Additionally, a University of Georgia study shows, the industry is a major employer, second only to the combined crop sector that includes vegetables, fruits, tree nuts, and hay/pasture in person years.
Many of the industry's problems, Brumfield says, relate to economic and environmental constraints, including water/soil quality, weather/pest-related stresses, aesthetic/biological requirements, equipment/labor/chemical costs, and demand for plants.
"Another important consideration is the comparative advantages of producers in some regions of the U.S."
The leading 10 states' percentage of total grower cash receipts for greenhouse and nursery crops has remained stable, at between 65-70 percent, over the last 40 years.
Production has increased at a faster pace in the West and the South. Currently the top four states — California, Florida, Texas, and North Carolina — account for half the wholesale cash receipts in the green industry. California is by far the leader, with 21.3 percent.
"Unlike farmers growing field crops, greenhouse firms bear the entire price, market, and production risk, since these crops have no government support programs," Brumfield notes. "The shift from a production-driven economy has resulted in numerous niche markets, which can be exploited by local producers.
The number of U.S. floriculture producers reached a peak of 12,713 in 1997, declining to 10,965 in 2001, attributable to consolidation in the industry, the slow economy, and downward price pressures from "big box" retailers in mass markets.
Nearly 60 percent of growers had sales of less than $100,000 and accounted for only about 18 percent of the total growing area.
"The green industry is clearly still a bright sector of U.S. agriculture," Brumfield says. "It has shifted from a producer-driven sector to a consumer-driven sector.
"The world is a global marketplace, and competition from other countries with lower costs or more favorable exchange rates, is putting downward price pressure on products.
"In an age of surpluses rather than shortages, producers can no longer grow the nursery and floriculture crops that they like because they are easy to grow and profitable. They have to take into account consumer demands for quality, convenience, service, and low prices. Many produces are farmers at heart and have a hard time thinking of marketing from a consumer perspective."
But, Brumfield says, the industry is becoming more market-oriented and producers are now developing their own Web pages, creating value-added products, considering direct retailing to capture more of the consumer dollar, and moving toward year-round production.
National branding and advertising campaigns within the industry to promote national brands have helped create premium markets. Additionally, many growers have successfully promoted their own brands or formed alliances with other growers to do so.
"Producers are becoming more segmented between those producing for the big chain stores and those who direct market or sell to independent, upscale garden centers.
"Growers who want to survive the tough competition in this market are putting employees in the stores to maintain plants and create attractive displays; they are also focusing on quality, service, and more frequent deliveries."

Boston Wedding Hairstylist | Vintage Marshfield Wedding
Published on September 24, 2012
I have been so excited to get this post up! Finally! A few weeks ago, this Boston wedding hairstylist had the honor of working with Bethany at her vintage Marshfield wedding! When I first met her, she sat down in my chair and explained how she wanted a vintage hairstyle! For those of you who don't know me, I love all different hairstyles, but vintage….I absolutely LOVE! So, enough about what I love, let's talk about Bethany and her big day! I arrived at her parents house in Marshfield, Ma around 11am. As I got out of my car, there were flowers everywhere, handmade chandeliers dangling from the trees, with mason jars hanging from them, filled with sand and candles. There were vintage frames clipped together also hanging from trees. It was straight out of Style Me Pretty! Now the tent! Each table inside was filled with vintage mismatch china, vintage books, and flowers galore. The place cards were made by Bethany herself, using all different vintage buttons. It was spectacular, I mean spectacular! As I walked into the house, the energy and excitement was ecstatic! As I styled the ladies vintage coiffure, Miss Jannicke Welde worked her vintage makeup magic! We all shared a lot of laughs and a few happy tears, which Dan Aguirre of course captured! I could tell Bethany's fairy tale was coming true before her very own eyes! It is such a blessing to be a part of it all!
Congratulations Bethany and Cristian!!

My NSA310 has been on for many years without any issues.
Recently, I started to hear noise that sounded like hard drive issue from the NSA310.
After so many years I thought maybe the HD is about to fail so I removed it from the NSA310 case and connected it to my computer to make backup of my files.
I ran disk check on it and check SMART status and apparently the HD is still in good condition. No errors were found.
I copied my files anyway for backup and during that time the HD sounded perfectly normal - another indication that it's ok.
I then inserted it back into the NSA310 case and now I when I start the NSA310 I can hear it is struggling to start the hard drive.
All led lights are switched on at all time and are green. I can hear the hard drive trying to spin back and forth.
The system is loading fine, I can access the web GUI and I can see that there's no volumes listed and SATA volumes. Also the HD led on the NSA310 is switched off.
I tried another HD that I have and heard the same noise - the NSA310 is failing to start the HD.
I Googled this issue and found a thread from this forum talking about possible wrong power supply used. But in my case, the device was connected for several years with the same old power supply - nothing has changed. The power supply output states 12V 2.5A and is the stock power supply that I got with the NSA310.
I tried factory reset - didn't help.
I updated the firmware to 4.70 (before that I had 4.6x) - didn't help.
In the web gui when I click on Create new volume it says there are no disks found.
I was about to conclude that the unit has reached it's end of life and probably I need to buy a new NAS, but then decided to see whether somebody can suggest a fix.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Re: NSA310 hard drive not detected
If you can, try another power supply. These boxes don't have eternal life. If it's not the power supply, and also not the disk, then it's probably the DC-DC convertor on the PCB. (The power supply gives 12V, but the disk mainly uses 5V. The CPU&memory use yet another voltage, 3.3V) Theoretically that can be exchanged, but in practice the NAS is dead, in that case.

Thanks for your help. It was indeed the power supply! I bought a new one from Amazon with almost the exact same specs and everything is back to normal.

Miley Cyrus & Justin Bieber On '30 Under 30′ — Stars Make 'Forbes' 2014 List

We all revel in the thought of someone being interested in us. It doesn't matter if it's online or offline. LinkedIn, unlike most social networks, let's users know who's been looking at their profile (depending upon their privacy settings). But what do you do when someone checks you out on LinkedIn?
Most of us do nothing.We receive a notification (in the form of a red flag) or we sporadically navigate to the "Who's Viewed Your Profile" link and start hypothesizing. We peruse the lurkers and conjure up ideas as to why they may have stumbled upon our profile. Our investigation goes no further.
But wait! This is powerful functionality. I'm positive that LinkedIn envisioned us using it for much more than an occasional ego boost. It's worth ten seconds a day to see who's viewed your profile. If you want a complete list of who's viewed you, upgrade to the premium service.
When someone views your profile the first step is to determine his or her relationship to you. The second step is to determine how you will respond (if at all). Everyone has an "angle" and your job is to uncover it.
Step 1: Determine the Viewers Relationship to You
First, do your best to categorize this person. Is this person a…
· Competitor
· Prospect
· Headhunter (They run rampant on LinkedIn!)
· Client
· Current or potential Center-of-Influence
· Peer
· Old Friend
· Old Colleague, etc.
Step 2: Determine Your Response
Certain categories will almost always warrant a response. Here are a few examples of how you might respond based on their relationship to you…
If this is a person you do not know well (prospect, COI), you might send them a message to try and get to know them better. You might say, "I see we have some mutual connections. It looks like you are in the business of XYZ. I would welcome a phone conversation or lunch if you are open to it."
Just because they recently viewed your profile, doesn't mean you need to state the obvious. Your objective is to orchestrate contact and start building a relationship. Use your best judgment when decided who you're messaging. This is not appropriate for each person that views your profile, only those who appear to be an ideal prospect or COI.
If this is a person you know well (client, COI, prospect, old friend, etc.), this is a good time to strike up a conversation on LinkedIn. Why? Because you are top-of-mind and you always want to be nurturing your first degree connections. Remember, first degree connections are the land of opportunity. (By the way, if it's someone you know well and you are not connected, this is the time to send them a connection request.)
You might say, "Hello Jim, hope you are well. Are you making any summer vacation plans yet? Also, when can we grab lunch? It's been a while."
The probability of them responding is much greater when they have recently viewed your profile.
If this person is a competitor you want to make sure that he or she hasn't been able to sneak by your screening process and become a first degree connection. A lot of advisors connect with too much of their competition. If and when this happens, you should disconnect with this person immediately. For those other competitors (2nd and 3rd degree connections) checking you out, c'est la vie – no response is the best response. Consider this a form of flattery.
These are just some suggestions on how to respond. The truth is, there is no perfect response. However, neglecting this feature altogether is bound to leave some opportunities unturned.

The Last Time by The Rolling Stones Songfacts
Artistfacts ®
Songfacts ®
This was inspired by a 1955 gospel song called "This May Be The Last Time" by The Staple Singers. The Stones changed the meaning of the song, making it into a stern message to a girl. The Staples version had a more uplifting message and was much more spiritual.
Many Gospel fans felt The Stones ripped it off, since The Staple Singers never got any royalties from it. Since it is a traditional song (meaning no one owns the rights to it), many artists have recorded it, but The Stones were a very high-profile band that had success reworking songs by black artists into hits. Many people believe The Stones should have compensated The Staple Singers because it was based on their version of the song.
In the 2003 book
According to the Rolling Stones
, Keith Richards wrote: "We didn't find it difficult to write pop songs, but it was VERY difficult - and I think Mick will agree - to write one for the Stones. It seemed to us it took months and months and in the end we came up with The Last Time, which was basically re-adapting a traditional Gospel song that had been sung by the Staple Singers, but luckily the song itself goes back into the mists of time. I think I was trying to learn it on the guitar just to get the chords, sitting there playing along with the record, no gigs, nothing else to do. At least we put our own stamp on it, as the Staple Singers had done, and as many other people have before and since: they're still singing it in churches today. It gave us something to build on to create the first song that we felt we could decently present to the band to play... The Last Time was kind of a bridge into thinking about writing for the Stones. It gave us a level of confidence; a pathway of how to do it. And once we had done that we were in the game. There was no mercy, because then we had to come up with the next one. We had entered a race without even knowing it."
Suggestion credit
Bertrand - Paris, France
This song did have some clear antecedents in black American music, in particular the 1964 James Brown single "Maybe the Last Time," which was itself based on ideas found in a traditional gospel song that had been recorded, but not written, by the Staple Singers. Some have accused the Stones of literally stealing from their black heroes, but "The Last Time" is clearly different from and more rock-oriented than the tracks recorded by James Brown and the Staple Singers, although there are some similarities in approach and the use of the title lyric.
Suggestion credit
Joel - Chicago, IL
The Stones recorded this in Los Angeles on a one day tour stopover on their way to Australia. The Stones were on a grueling American tour, but in order to capitalize on their success they wanted to keep cranking out singles, especially in England because they were not there. As a result, they frequently recorded in between American shows.
Phil Spector assisted with the production. You can hear his "Wall Of Sound" approach on the recording.
The opening guitar riff repeats throughout the song. This was an innovative device for a pop song at the time.
A 1997 song called "
Bitter Sweet Symphony
" by The Verve sampled an obscure orchestral version of this track recorded by The Andrew Oldham Orchestra in 1966. Oldham was the Rolling Stones manager, and taking a cue from Beatles producer George Martin, he released an album called
The Rolling Stones Songbook
which contained this track and other instrumental versions of the group's hits.
The Verve got the rights to the sample itself from Decca Records, but they didn't get the publishing rights to "The Last Time" until just before the song was released. The Stones' former manager Allen Klein, who owned these rights, was able to hold up release until The Verve signed away 100% of the publishing for the song, giving him extensive royalties, as "Bittersweet Symphony" was a radio hit and even used in a Nike commercial.
This was the first song Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote that was an A-side single. The Stones played a lot of covers before they learned to write songs.
The Who recorded this in 1967 as a show of support when The Stones were being held in England on drug charges.

On June 4th 1965, the Rolling Stones performed "The Last Time" on the British TV program 'Ready Steady Go'...
Six days earlier, May 29th, was the last day that "The Last Time" was on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; but they weren't off the chart for long, two days later on June 6th, 1965 "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" would enter the Top 100 at position #67, and on July 4th it would become the first of their eight #1 records on the Top 100.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
On April 23rd 1965, the Rolling Stones performed in concert at the Maurice Richard Arena in Montreal, Canada; it was the first time the British quintet appeared live in Canada...
At the time the groups' "Last Time" was at #19 on the Canadian CHUM Top Singles chart; and ten days later it would peak at #14 for one week...
In the U.S.A. "Last Time" was at #12 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, and two days later on April 25th it would peak at #9* {for two weeks}...
* It was the Stones' second Top 10 record, and their next release would become their first #1 record, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" for four weeks on July 4th, 1965.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
On April 9th 1965, the Rolling Stones made their first live appearance on the British-TV program 'Ready Steady Go!'...
At the time the quintet's "The Last Time" at #1 on United Kingdom's Record Retailer chart...
And in the U.S.A. it was at #31 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart...
{See next post below}.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
On May 2nd 1965, the Rolling Stones performed "The Last Time" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
Two months earlier on March 21st, 1965 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #79; and on April 25th it peaked at #9 (for 2 weeks) and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100...
And on March 13th, 1965 it reached #1 (for 4 weeks) on the United Kingdom's Singles chart...
On the same 'Sullivan' show Tom Jones performed "It's Not Unusual"; and it was this song that the Stones knocked out of the #1 spot in the UK with "The Last Time"...
The B-side of "The Last Time" also charted, "Play With Fire", it reached #96 on its one week on the Top 100...
R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan (1901 - 1974) and Brian Jones (1942 - 1969; he played lead guitar on "The Last Time").
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
The main riff features Brian Jones on his trademark "teardrop" Vox guitar, probably through a Fender amp. It's an extremely clever riff, played up around the 7th fret while making use of open strings at the same time. I have yet to see a cover band to get this riff right! Well done, Brian.
Tom - Freiburg, Germany
May 28, 2012: I had not previously heard of "This Could Be the Last Time" (The Staple Singers), so I need to check it out. The guitar riff repeats like what we hear in the Beatles' "Day Tripper", released late 1965. Also, that was December 1965 when Keith Richard was (NEARLY) electrocuted at Sacramento. (Another Keith -- Keith Relf of the Yardbirds -- was electrocuted in 1976.)
Carl - Apg, Md
Bruce Springsteen and The E Street band performed this by request at the last concert ever at Giants Stadium on October 9, 2009. Bruce called it a perfect request for the night. Awesome cover. Bruce and Steve Van Zandt are Rolling Stones fans.
Matt - Ft. Lauderdale, Fl
The guitar work is reworked Pop Staples--See Freedom's Highway, which was released in 1965.
Nick - Chicago, Il
Funny what people hear. I used to review music books for Kirkus and Publishers Weekly, the trade industry journals. Back in the early 90s a new book about the Stones came out (am too lazy to look up the title), and it stated that The Last Time was the first original tune the Stones wrote--they were under pressure to come up with something new rather than continue to do covers, the writer said, went into a locked room and finally came up with this tune.
I happened to be a fan of The Staples; to me the tunes are more or less identical, though the Stones' version isn't very interesting. So I called around, found out who the Staples' agent was, got Pops' number from him and called. He told me that the Stones had flat ripped him off, but that he had only recently heard the tune, contacted his lawyer, and had been told that there was a 10 (15?) year statute of limitations and nothing he could do.
Pop tunes are built upon other pop tunes, on existing music--there's no getting around it. But to me this tune is a pretty blatant appropriation of a black idiom for which the original artists were rarely adequately compensated. Incidentally, Pops' wonderfully enigmatic guitar sound found its way into a LOT of Stones tunes, and into Keith's style generally, as for many guitar players. There's more than a little irony, no matter what your view, in the idea that this was the Stones' big breakthrough from being a covers band to an original one.
Matthew - Detroit, Fl
This song was on the Stones album "Out of Their Heads". Satisfaction was also on the LP. I realize Satisfaction brought them their first US #1 and was the song that made them famous but for some reason I always preferred "The Last Time".
Alan - Sault Ste. Marie, On
I remember seeing the Stones perform this on TV, and Brian Jones played the signature riff on his Vox white oval guitar - I wanted one. I wanted to be the Stones at that time (I was 15). Where's the bass on the recording? Was Bill Wyman there, or was he drowned out in the "wall of sound"?
D. Ray - Oklahoma City, Ok
I heard the song was written in the kitchen of Andrew Loong Oldham's house after mick and keith were forced in their unable to come out untill their wrote a song.
-ashley stone,IL
Ashley - Quincy, Il
It was many moon's ago,but this was the song the stone's were starting when Keith got electrocuted.
He went down hard. Sacramento,Ca 65
Bob - Roseville, Co
While this song may have been influenced by the Staples Singers it is in no way similar in any way to it. Just listen to both songs.
Andrew - London, England
The Orchestral Version of The Last Time is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn8MxicsFAw ... Do The Verve only use 5 notes from this ????
Andrew - London, England
Johnny Smash- you're talking about Keith's lead solo, right? That's just an electric guitar, with plenty of reverb, playing 2 notes that are slid into from below. Specifically, the 2nd and 3rd strings at the 9th fret- bar them, and slide into them from below. Then play the 1st string, 12 fret with the 2nd string, 9th fret. Then the D chord: 1st str., 10th fret, with the 2nd & 3rd strings, 7th fret; a D-form chord for the A: frets 9-10-9, strings 1-2-3; and finally, play frets 7-9-9 on the 1st 3 strings. This figure repeats, alternating with short blues-based leads. What may be confusing you is the brilliant droning part played by Brian continuing in the background.
Andrew - New York, United States
The basic idea for this song was taken from the Staples Singers "This may be the last time".
Mike - Berkeley, Ca
The part for "bittersweet symphony" was lifted from an obscure orchestral version of this song. its supposedly only 5 notes so it should be hard to hear
Thedude - Illinois, Il
This song came out before the Who A Legal Matter.
Anne - York , England
To Alejandro from Mèxico: I can notice the similaraties between "Bitter Sweet Symphony" and "The Last Time". It happens when the ending vocals of the phrases seem to turn to chorus parts. Its really true.
Homero - Monterrey , Mèxico
Hey Johnny,
Do you mean at the beginning of the guitar solo? If so it just sounds like heavily overdriven speakers to me, with maybe some open strings ringing. It also sounds like it could be a 12 string electric... this is all just speculation, but that's what it sounds like to me!
Sam - Shanghai, China
"A Legal Matter" by the Who has a nearly identical riff/tune as "The Last Time". In fact, durning the verses the lyrics are practically interchangable. This song also came out in '65, but i was wondering if anyone knows which song came first, or if anyone has noticed this. Thanks.
Spencer - Rhode Island
maybe its just me, but I cant identify the similarities between this song and bittersweet symphony
Alejandro - Mexico D.f., Mexico
I never knew Phil Spector produced a song of the Stones, but with his talent, he can do anything.
The next time I hear it on the radio, I'll listen to hear his famous "Wall of Sound".
Teresa - Mechelen, Belgium
Anyone know how they made that guitar sound like that, right after 1:33 into the song? I'm pretty sure that's a guitar... I'm interested to know how they did that, I'll be checking back here every once in a while to see if anyone knows ;D
Johnny Smash - Tucson, Az
This has also been recorded by a Country artist but I've forgotten who he was.
Kathy - Jasper, Al
The lead guitar was played by Brian Jones(great riff),but guitar solo and rhytm guitar were played by Keith Richards.
Simon - Brno, Czech Republic
