Your destiny is a gorgeous mystery, Aries. Your soul is awakening more every day. The secrets of life are ripening right in front of your eyes. For more clues, consider checking out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
The astrological factors coming to bear on you right now are uproarious yet profound; they're mischievous, intense, and catalytic. In alignment with this spirit, I've composed your horoscope by channeling appropriate bumper sticker slogans. Repeat the following affirmations frequently, Taurus, or print them on pieces of paper and tape them to your back. "Don't follow me; I'm following my bliss." "I'm not tense -- just terribly, terribly alert." "I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it." "I'm talking to myself -- please don't eavesdrop." "Don't worry -- it only seems kinky the first time." "Warning: I have an Attitude and I know how to use it."
Life will bring you entertaining revelations in the coming week, Taurus. To explore even deeper, dive into your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
How to be the best Gemini you can be? A reader named Shimmering Elf wrote eloquently about that topic. His words should be helpful as you face this week's Gemini-enhancing tests. "Be amazed with and in awe of yourself," Shimmering Elf began. "And try to keep doing new things to justify your amazement and awe. Be like the Native American heyoka who rode his horse backward, wearing only an apron in a blizzard, with sweat running down his chest. Talk to yourself; people can join in if they want to. Have a large papier mach� ego; redecorate it often. Be like Grandmother Spider who created the world by imagining it. Be like Pygmalion and fall in love with your creation. Never imitate. Be a tricky, sticky tickler. No one will ever solve the Sphinx's precious riddle if she doesn't know the answer herself."
Want more clues, Gemini? Need further insight? I discuss your coming week in greater depth in your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
It's time to go straight to the source, Cancerian. Eliminate the middlemen -- and the middlewomen, too. Don't believe anyone who claims that he alone can connect you with the valuable stuff you need. As much as possible, wean yourself from translators, agents, and brokers. And don't worry: This won't result in you becoming lonely and isolated. I predict that whenever you shed a relationship with someone who uses and exploits you, you'll open the way for a new link with a person who is respectful of your gifts.
Where do you want to go in the coming week, Cancerian? Who do you want to be? For more clues, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
In a recent article in a British tabloid, Leo diva Madonna spoke contritely about why she published the controversial book Sex back in 1992. "I was just being an ego-driven nutcase," she confessed. This admission impressed me. Everyone makes bad decisions motivated by out-of-control egotism, but few of us have the courage to admit it -- let alone a celebrity that the press regards as a megalomaniac. I suggest you draw inspiration from Madonna's example in the next few days, Leo. If you cop to a past outbreak of unseemly arrogance, I predict you'll unleash magic that will ultimately spawn fresh accomplishments for which you can be righteously proud.
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Leo? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Famed TV producer Sherwood Schwartz had a hand in making more than 700 TV shows, and he co-authored theme songs for the sitcoms "Gilligan's Island" and "The Brady Bunch." Every year he collects about $60,000 in royalties for those tunes, written so many years ago. I'd like to alert you, Virgo, to the fact that you're now in a phase similar to the one Schwartz was in when he got inspired to compose those long-term money-makers. It's time to create a legacy for yourself.
Need a few more whacks applied to your mental blocks in the coming week, Virgo? A few more caresses administered to your growing edge? Cruise on over to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
In his book Crying: the Natural and Cultural History of Tears, Tom Lutz asserts that people don't cry as much as they used to. The English of the Victorian era, supposedly renowned for their stuffy behavior, put us to shame with their abundant outpouring of tears. So what's our excuse? There's as much, if not more, to be mournful about nowadays; and we certainly don't suffer from a lack of events to spur our cathartic joy and empathy. Would you like to volunteer to do something about the modern weeping deficit, Libra? In the coming days, you'll have rich opportunities to unleash tears of breakthrough and release.
Got enough clues to chew on for a while, Libra? If you need more, give yourself the luxury of your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
I direct your attention, Scorpio, to Dawn Baumann Brunke's book, Animal Voices: Telepathic Communication in the Web of Life. There she champions the value of communing clairvoyantly with other species. Learning this skill is not only helpful for becoming closer to beloved pets, she says. It can also be useful for pest control. She gives examples of people who rid their homes of ants and spider mites simply by striking up telepathic conversations with them. My theory is that this same approach can be applied to pests in human form -- especially by you in the coming week. Rev up your considerable mental powers, and psychically ask jerks, annoyances, and bores to stop bugging you.
Want to explore the coming week even further, Scorpio? Dig deeper? Feel stronger? Consider tuning in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
When I recorded my last music CD, a major label spent $180,000 on my band's recording sessions at a state-of-the-art studio. The resulting music was exciting, but sales were paltry due to the company's inept marketing strategy. The new album I'm working on with my friend George is low-tech and self-financed, done completely on his computer in his bedroom. The experience is humbling but exhilarating. I'm free of my old rock star fantasies. There's no danger of having to deal with the alienating influences of fame, constant travel, and the insanity of the music business. I have the relaxing luxury of creating music just because it's fun. I recommend that you make a comparable transition, Sagittarius. Which of your aptitudes and inclinations would you enjoy more if they weren't hemmed in by unrealistic dreams, oppressive duties, and the stultifying pressures of careerism?
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Sagittarius? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Your horoscope this week consists of the words of poet Mary Oliver, whose "White Pine" describes an experience analogous to one you'll soon have: "I have read that, in Africa, when the body of an antelope, which all its life ate only leaves and grass and drank nothing but wild water, is first opened, the fragrance is almost too sweet, too delicate, too beautiful to be borne. It is a moment which hunters must pass through carefully, with concentrated and even religious attention, if they are to reach the other side, and go on with their individual lives."
How much do you want to know about your destiny in the coming week, Capricorn? How far do you dare to go? For more insight into your shimmering, undulating fate, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
While out on a walk, I laughed with incredulity and derision when I spied a front yard where gorgeous poppies and tulips were in full bloom -- surrounded by an eight-foot-tall cage of chicken wire. Once my instinctive response subsided, I realized there was probably a rational reason for the apparent lunacy, like maybe it kept the flowers from being devoured by marauding deer. My next thought leaped to you, Aquarius. I knew that the fortress protecting the delicate blooms was a perfect metaphor for what you should create for yourself in the coming week.
No one knows you better than you do, Aquarius. But maybe you'll be inspired to dig up even more self-knowledge in the coming week if you tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Feeling bereft because of the war, I found myself longing to connect with sources of inspiration that have fueled me over the years. I scoured closets, shelves, and storage lockers, collecting power objects from every period of my life. They included the books I've written and C.G. Jung's Psychology and Alchemy, photos of my daughter and the woman I love, a painting made for me by a friend, my favorite baseball card from childhood, and many other treasures. In the ensuing days, I made the freaky discovery that five other people I know had independently felt the urge to undertake a similar gathering. A ritual like this would be perfect for you right now, Pisces. I suggest you assemble 22 of your most important symbols and create a sanctuary to protect you from the world's chaos.
Hungry for more inspiration, Pisces? Curious about the unfolding mysteries? For more juicy details about your destiny in the coming week, check out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.

Michael "Marlo Mike" Louding, who testified last year at rapper Torence "Lil Boosie" Hatch's first-degree murder trial that he and Hatch had nothing to do with the 2009 killing of Terry Boyd in Baton Rouge, was convicted Friday of fatally shooting Boyd for money.
Hatch, 30, of Baton Rouge, was acquitted in May of hiring Louding to murder Boyd, but a different East Baton Rouge Parish jury unanimously found the 20-year-old Louding guilty of first-degree murder after deliberating for more than five hours at the 19th Judicial District Courthouse.
Several members of the jury of nine women and three men wiped tears from their eyes as the verdict was read about 6:15 p.m.
East Baton Rouge Parish Assistant District Attorney Dana Cummings, who prosecuted Hatch and Louding, said she feels vindicated.
"Yes I do! I absolutely do!'' she said, smiling.
Cummings maintains Louding lied to the East Baton Rouge Parish jury that found Hatch not guilty. Hatch remains imprisoned on drug charges. Louding did not testify at his own trial, but jurors watched his videotaped police statements from May 2010 in which he confessed to shooting Boyd.
In her closing arguments to the jury earlier Friday, Cummings called Louding a "gutless wonder" and a cold-blooded hitman.
Louding, of Baton Rouge, faces a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without parole in the Oct. 21, 2009, slaying of Boyd, 35, on Vermillion Drive. Louding is not eligible for the death penalty because he was only 17 when Boyd was fatally shot through a window while sitting on a sofa.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that states can no longer automatically sentence juveniles to life in prison without parole in murder cases without first holding a sentencing hearing to consider the defendant's youth, upbringing, circumstances of the crime and other factors.
State District Judge Trudy White, who presided over Louding's trial, scheduled a sentencing hearing for Sept. 12.
East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III said he hopes the judge will consider imposing "a lifetime or nearly a lifetime in prison" on Louding.
Louding also faces four other counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder in a string of fatal shootings of other men that stretched over a 14-month period.
Louding is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of local up-and-coming rapper Chris "Nussie" Jackson on Feb. 9, 2009; Marcus "Gangsta" Thomas on April 25, 2009; and Charles "Nokie" Matthews and Darryl "Bleek" Milton on April 1, 2010. He also is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Michael Smith on Dec. 18, 2009.
In his videotaped police statements, Louding also admitted killing Jackson and taking part in the murders of Thomas, Matthews and Milton.
Moore said no prosecutorial decisions will be made about those pending cases until after Louding is sentenced in the Boyd case.
Cummings was allowed to introduce "other crimes evidence" during Louding's trial, which included the slayings of Jackson, Thomas, Matthews and Milton, and the attempted murder of Matthews' wife, Malaeka Hulbert, on Feb. 22, 2010.
"I waited patiently until the time came. I'm happy that justice was served," Thomas' mother, Cassandra Thomas, said outside the courthouse.
Matthews' mother, Nancy Booker, said "I thank God that justice has been served."
Matthews' wife, Malaeka Hulbert, said, "I'm satisfied with the verdict."
Hulbert was shot in the arm when bullets came crashing through her kitchen window Feb. 22, 2010, as she and Matthews sat at the kitchen table.
Earlier Friday, Cummings argued to the jury that Hatch paid Louding $2,800 to kill Boyd because Hatch was told Boyd wanted to do him harm. She said Hatch put a $25,000 bounty on Boyd's head.
"He (Louding) sneaks in the night, the gutless wonder. He has no conscience. He has no remorse. He gets paid for killing, but he enjoys his work," she argued.
Cummings told the jury that Louding got a tattoo at Hatch's house on Nov. 4, 2009, two weeks after Boyd was killed. The tattoo proclaimed, "Yo Boosie Who's Next."
Louding was proud of the Boyd slaying, the prosecutor said.
"He may not be as proud of it now because there are consequences, but he was proud. Proud and cold. He's the hitman," Cummings said.
Cummings also labeled Thomas' killing "a Boosie hit."
Louding's attorney, Margaret Lagattuta, countered to the jury in her closing argument that there was no physical evidence linking Louding to Boyd's murder, and she urged the jury not to convict solely on Louding's videotaped confession to Baton Rouge police detectives.
Lagattuta also accused prosecutors of using their other crimes evidence "to bolster a weak case."
Adrian Pittman, 39, of Baton Rouge, who pleaded guilty in November to a manslaughter charge in the Boyd case and admitted to being the getaway driver, testified against Louding. His plea deal calls for him to receive a 20-year prison term for truthful testimony.
Lagattuta called Pittman a "liar."

Thailand country profile
Thailand is firmly established as a middle-income country. Economic growth over the last two decades has been impressive: poverty has fallen by around two-thirds since 1990, despite the 1997 economic crisis from which Thailand has fully recovered. This prosperity, combined with a growing awareness of and commitment to child rights, has resulted in successive governments investing in the wellbeing and future of children. These investments have brought huge, often life-changing benefits to millions of children. Since 1990, achievements have included:

The requirements for operating a business through a name other than its official legal name, known as a DBA or Doing Business As name, involve researching the name to find out if it is available and then submitting a form to the county clerk for the county in which the business exists. Depending on the nature of the company, it may also need to provide proof of headquarters within that county and other information about its purpose.Continue Reading
When a corporation, limited liability company or other type of business entity registers as an official company with the state, it must provide a name for the organization. If that business wishes to operate as or advertise itself with any other name it must file a special form that allows it to legally do so without having to establish itself as a new entity, with the new name known as a DBA name. This process only requires that no other company currently hold registration over the DBA name and that the company files with each county in which it operates.
Each county has its own specific requirements for registration in addition to collecting a registration fee, with some including forms that show proof of headquarters or another physical address within that county. If a person operating a sole proprietorship, which is an individual acting as a business through a self-employment model, wishes to use another name for the company, she must file an Assumed Name Records Certificate of Ownership for Unincorporated Business or Profession with that county as well.Learn more about Business Resources

Aqualung – Falling Out Of Love lyrics
I watch the sun
See it rise and fall
Waiting for something to change
I get through the day
Hope to turn things around
Seems like
I'm falling out of love
Feeling alone
With you by my side
Further and further away
Funny how long
A moment can seem
When you're trying to hold on
Feels like
I'm falling out of love

Hitting good putts comes down to picking the correct line and having proper speed. Many believe of those two components that speed is most important, especially when it comes to avoiding three-putts.
One reason many average golfers struggle with their speed on longer putts is they fail to hit the ball consistently in the center of the putter face.
If that's an issue you struggle with, fear not, as Brad Faxon, one of the best putters in PGA Tour history, has some tips to help you fare better on long putts.
Take Faxon's advice to heart and you'll enjoy better speed on the greens, which will result immediately in shots being shaved from your scores.

I made a total of $2,781.39 in Amazon commissions for the month of January 2016. That is MORE THAN DOUBLE what I did last January, so yes, I'm thrilled! Imagine if I just stayed at double all year?!
Some people might think that after making $52,000 last month that $2,700 is just a drop in the bucket but the truth is, I will still go over $100,000 this year even if I made that amount every month the rest of the year. Not too shabby for working at home all day in my pajamas, right?
I look back over the last 9 years of my life and I am so grateful for where God has brought me. I'm so grateful I never gave up and that I pushed forward even after some major setbacks.
February 2016 is going strong, it's already doubling last year... all the glory to God! I am the righteousness of God in Christ, holy and dearly loved.
You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
(Lyrics by Chris Tomlin)

How The Hollywood Reporter Matches Industry Mentors With Los Angeles Teens
THR's Mentorship Program pairs girls from tough backgrounds with women who are decision makers and influencers.
The stories are heart-rending. There's the girl who's not allowed to be alone with her father because he tried to burn off her hands when she was younger. The teenager whose father works so hard as a truck driver that he barely sees her. And the 16-year-old whose two sisters were victims of sexual abuse; she says she's lucky to have escaped it.
These are some of the girls who applied this year for The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Mentorship Program, established two years ago with the nonprofit Big Brothers Big Sisters to give high school juniors in some of the toughest schools in Los Angeles a chance to get guidance from the top. The program pairs 12 to 15 girls with high-level agents, publicists, lawyers and executives, and every girl spends at least one afternoon per fortnight in her mentor's office during the course of a year. By the end of 2013, more than 40 girls from LAUSD's Belmont, Crenshaw and Roosevelt high schools, along with the Santee Education Complex, will have gone through the program, which continues this year thanks to funding from Gersh, Guggenheim Partners, Lifetime Television and BCBG Max Azria Group.
COMPLETE LIST: 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100
To earn a spot, girls must have a 3.0 GPA, write an essay explaining how the program would help them and be interviewed by a BBBS executive and a THR editor -- quite a challenge for teens who rarely have interacted with adults outside their environment.
"They all come from tough backgrounds," says Terry Carreto, a college and career counselor at Theodore Roosevelt High in East Los Angeles, one of the participating schools. "Many come from single-parent families where their mothers are working almost 24/7. They get home, the parents aren't there. And they still have to maintain their grades."
The Mentorship Program launched in early 2010 as a bold experiment founded on the hope that the girls' grades and lives would soar if they were given a chance. But they were unfamiliar with the professional world, especially at the exalted level of mentors such as Anne Sweeney, co-chairman of Disney Media Networks; Warner Bros. marketing president Sue Kroll; and Universal Pictures co-chairman Donna Langley -- and frequently the mentors weren't entirely sure how to handle inexperienced adolescents. "Trust-building had to occur," says Tiffany Siart, head of BBBS of Greater L.A.
About three months in, fear lifted and bonds formed. Many mentors worked closely with their mentees through high school, and their relationships have continued as girls from our pilot year have entered college. Of the original 12, four were accepted to UC Berkeley; others have gone on to Occidental College, UC Irvine and Loyola Marymount -- remarkable for disadvantaged teens.
One mentor, former Universal production president Debbie Liebling, kept working with her mentee even after losing her job; next summer, the mentee will intern at Liebling's new workplace, Ben Stiller's Red Hour Films. Another, attorney Melanie Cook, helped her mentee get medical aid after she was diagnosed with a multiple sclerosis-like condition that could have prevented her from attending Berkeley.
PHOTOS: 2011 Women in Entertainment Power 100
WME agent Nancy Josephson has proved a model: Her mentee, Maira Solis, came to her office twice a week -- far more than the obligatory once a fortnight. Josephson has created her own program, pairing more than 20 WME agents with children at Foster Elementary in Compton, meeting twice a month. "We've copied THR," she says. "But our goal is to stay with them all the way through high school."
The most touching part of the experience for Josephson was when she took Solis to her own children's school in Brentwood, where counselors helped with her college applications. "That was very emotional," says Josephson. "She said, 'I have a new dream: I want to send my children to a school like this.' "

Mike Abts: Candidate Profile
Geneva Township Highway Commissioner (4-year Term)
Note: Answers provided have not been edited for grammar, misspellings or typos. In some instances, candidate claims that could not be immediately verified have been omitted.
Jump to:
City: Geneva
Website: Candidate did not respond.
Office sought: Geneva Township Highway Commissioner (4-year Term)
Age: 59
Family: Married 40 years to Joy Ogden Abts; three children, Megi (34), Anna (31) and Michael (29); two grandsons.
Occupation: Self-employed, Mike"s Home Services, Electrician
Education: Geneva High School graduate: 1967 - 1971 Western New Mexico University: 1971 - 1972 Western Illinois University: 1972 - 1974 Harper College: 1975-1976
Civic involvement: Geneva Park District Board Commissioner: 18 years, 4 years as vice president and two years as president Fox Valley Special Recreation Association Board Commissioner: 10 years Geneva Community Chest: 2 years Geneva Lions Club: 6 years United Methodist Church of Geneva: Trustee for 2 years
Elected offices held: Geneva Park District Board Commissioner: 18 years, 4 years as vice president and two years as president. Fox Valley Special Recreation Association Board Commissioner: 10 years
Have you ever been arrested for or convicted of a crime? If yes, please explain: No.
Candidate's Key Issues
Key Issue 1
Lease: Currently the highway department is leasing a facility to store equipment that is not being used and has no foreseeable use in the future. The lease should be terminated as soon as possible, therefore reducing the current budget of the highway commission by more than $18,000.
Key Issue 2
Equipment: There is a surplus of supplies and equipment not being used that should be sold with the money going back to the highway fund.
Key Issue 3
A very transparent bidding system should be put together for the work that the highway department is required to outsource. It's quite possible with more competitive bidding this work can be done at a lower rate. This would reduce expenses, and result in more savings.
Questions & Answers
Name the three most important goals or objectives this board should tackle in the coming term. Prioritize them, and briefly discuss why you believe each to be critical, and how the board should go about addressing them.
This is not a board position, however, as Road Commissioner I would sell unused equipment, terminate unnecessary leases, ensure a transparent bidding system, and continue to work towards reducing overhead expenses wherever possible.
In the 21st Century, with municipalities gobbling up vacant land, why are townships needed? Should they be serving a new role? If so, what?
In regards to the Township Road Commissioner position, the Geneva Township has about 11 miles of roads. Those roads need to be maintained, grass mowed snow plowed, brush and leaves pickup etc. Unless a city or county government is willing to step up and take over those tasks, there still is a need for a Township Road Commissioner.
What should be the primary responsibility of township government?
This is not applicable to the Road Commissioner's position other than the roads.
In these hard economic times, can you identify some township expenses/programs that could be trimmed or eliminated to reduce the tax burden?
As I previously discussed, unused equipment should be sold and the money returned to the road fund. Unnecessary leases should be terminated with a cost savings of $18,000 a year. The salary should reflect the work that's being done and not inflate to a full-time salary for a part-time position, as the current commissioner had requested.
What specific background or experience do you bring that makes you the best qualified candidate to serve as an elected official in the township?
This is a part-time position where the primary job is to take care of a limited number of roads. The work is outsourced to experienced and qualified individuals as needed. This is more of an administrative position requiring management skills rather than a technical position requiring a specific skill set. My 18 years on the Geneva Park District Board and 35 years as a business owner more than qualifies me to look after the taxpayers' interests and see to it that this work is done in an efficient and economical manner.

Sailors Who Get Crabs
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
"You go through a couple marriages, smoke cigarettes like it's going out of style, your body aches from the time you get up to the time you go to bed, and you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about where you're going to put the next pot. Yeah, it's a great lifestyle."
- Phil from the Cornelia Marie ,The Deadliest Catch
One day out from Dutch Harbour, Unlasaka. The Bering Sea is unrelenting and vicious like a restaurant critic or a high-powered divorce lawyer. The crew of the ship are being thrown about, stumbling back-and-forwards like actors in a Charlie Chaplain film. The winds scream like banshees. It's a typical day in the life of an Alaskan crab fisherman. The show is the Deadliest Catch and my eyes are nailed to the screen.
It has taken us worthless peons a long time to get it on free-to-air but we finally get to see this amazing documentary from the Discovery Channel. How frickin' insane is this? Why not base a show about THE deadliest profession in the world (besides "suicide bomber")? It's captivating viewing. I'm captivated.
For those who don't share my addictions, or know what I'm talking about, the Deadliest Catch is a show about Alaskan crab fishermen aboard a few of the ships (around ten or so) during the four-day crab fishing season in 2005. Now the sleep-deprived crew spend their time cussing at the "greenhorns" (n00bs) to get out of the goddamn way while trying not to fall overboard themselves. In a hazardous occupation where the death rate is roughly one a week (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics over 300 fatalities per 100,000 fishermen) and hypothermia is constantly lurking around the corner this behaviours is not only to be expected, but sensible.
By the time the show finishes, I'm drenched in sweat.

When heritage and contemporary architecture interact, the whole history of the city is revealed. This is the ambition of this project. Facing the castle, the new gymnasium at Pestalozzi Street has its main facade; this confrontation creates a new dynamic space and showcases both the old as the new building town.
The layout of the building is simple and respects both urban constraints as the original site of the old gym. The building displays its main face to the parking on the side of the castle facade. It is on this front that are moving the three gyms. The building consists of two volumes with very different architectural character value functions.
The main volume dominates. It consists of two parts that are home to the three gyms. A base on the ground floor, the structural character is underlined by slanted columns in front, welcomes two full rhythm. Above it is a volume in the fluid volume which houses the large gym. The secondary volume, south side houses the changing rooms spaces, hospitality and technology. Treatment is much more intimate. Two simple volumes, parallelepipeds concrete are connected by an open space that protects the hall the reception area and corridors.
Each volume has its constructive identity. The part housing gyms comprises the ground floor, a little out of the overall volume, peripheral structure of concrete poles tilted and a central concrete core housing sanitary and storage rooms equipment. This structure supports a concrete slab forming the floor of the stage.
A curtain wall glass interrupts this volume to create, at home and vertical circulation, a large facade bathed in natural light from the south. This grand facade is naturally protected by vertical wooden venetian blind.
In terms of energy as the building is very effective, with the double choice of orientation and construction materials. The building allows its direction of maximum use of natural light and thus allow energy while a large economy throughout the year.
Design: Amat & Saint-Val Architectes

This casual yet trendy semi-outdoor restaurant inside the Surfjack Hotel in Waikiki has great vibes to go with its island influenced menu. We dined for brunch, which offered an eclectic menu of both brunch classics and unique items like our favorite dish, the pork adobo fried rice. It takes the Filipino pork dish and combines it with avocado, pickled mushrooms, kimchi, and pickled ginger topped with a perfectly cooked runny egg for a bowl you just can't stop eating.
They also offer a variety of pizzas – we loved their naked pig pizza which was quite rich, so the mountain of arugula and parmesan that's offered as an add on balanced things out perfectly.

Grilling a steak by the beach with Diamond Head behind me is definitely not one of the things I expected to be doing during my time in Oahu. But there I was, standing behind a hot grill with a giant spatula, flipping a ribeye steak while looking out the windows to see the sun setting on Waikiki Beach. This experience comes thanks to

If you've been following me on Instagram at all, you know that pizza is my one true love. I regularly grab a slice as a snack and eat it while walking to my next meeting. I order extra slices to keep in the freezer so I always have it on hand (or in a recent case , to fly back to Hong Kong). I'm even wearing a damn pizza bikini on a pizza beach towel while eating a slice of pizza bigger than my head in my profile photo – THAT'S how much I love it. And while that photo was taken in Miami, New York City is my one true love for pizza. You can find almost every type of pizza here (yes, even deep-dish "pizza"). And more importantly, you can find GREAT versions of almost every type of pizza (yes, NYC even has great versions of deep-dish pizza, but those will not be found in this list – sorry Chicagoans). So it's only fitting that for my first edition of Where to Eat in NYC, I highlight my favorite pizza slice joints and restaurants.

The world champion All Blacks squad will visit several communities as part of the All Blacks to the Nation tour starting on Sunday.
In association with the team's sponsor, Air New Zealand, they'll visit Tahuna near Hamilton, Bay View in the Hawke's Bay, Palmerston North, Richmond near Nelson and Rolleston in Canterbury.
Various people and clubs will be acknowledged for their dedication and contribution to rugby. They include;
Ray Kett, a stalwart of the Northern Rugby Club in Tahuna. Ray gets up at the crack of dawn every Saturday and drives around the region to pick up players to ensure there is a team to play on Saturdays.
Esk View Club in Bay View who's senior team went from winning one game in the entire season last year to taking out their senior championship in 2016 – the first time they have won their championship in 50 years.
The Pearsons from Kia Toa Junior Club in Palmerston North who have grown their club and organised a new junior tournament that has grown by 64 extra players in two years.
In Waimea near Nelson the community has worked hard to develop a Waimea Combined high school team made up of players from the local high school and other rural schools in the area. The girls' team from Motueka High School will also receive an All Blacks visit.
In Canterbury girls' Rippa Rugby is growing and teams from Rolleston and Waihora will be mixing with the All Blacks on 4 September too.
New Zealand Rugby's General Manager Rugby Neil Sorensen said the All Blacks enjoyed visiting places they may not have been to before and meeting people from different areas of the country.
"This year we're rewarding, people, teams, and clubs that have helped grow rugby. Every All Black knows they wouldn't be in their black jersey today without the dedication of people like those we're visiting. The team can't wait to get out to rugby communities."


text: TAMPA - On the outside, the brown stucco house at 11029 Airview Drive in northwest Tampa appeared like a typical suburban home.The owner, Osmond Montgomery Winston, often chatted with neighbors and took his grandchildren trick-or-treating.But on the inside, things were far from normal, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.Investigators on Wednesday arrested three of the home's occupants - Osmond Montgomery Winston, 68, and his daughters Hyacinth Winston, 43, and Belinda Winston, 39. All three, plus another son for whom an arrest warrant has been issued, are accused in what authorities are calling one of the worst cases of elderly neglect ever reported in the Tampa area.Winston's wife, Mary, had been bedridden for three years with rheumatoid arthritis, but her husband and adult children neglected to take care of her, detectives said. The neglect was so bad, investigators said, that when 66-year-old Mary Winston eventually died, her death was ruled a homicide.Mary Winston had developed ulcers on her body and a bedsore on her back so severe that it became an open wound, exposing her rib bones to open air, Hillsborough County sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon said.Bandages had been placed on the sores, but they weren't changed regularly and fused to her wounds, McKinnon said. By the time she died eight months ago, the skin on her legs had fused together and the room smelled of decomposition, feces and urine. And something else festered in the room."Maggots became active on and inside her body," McKinnon said.Osmond, Hyacinth and Belinda Winston face charges of aggravated manslaughter of an elderly or disabled person. They are being held in Hillsborough County Jail with no bond set.A warrant has been issued for Winston's son, Osmond Ignatius Winston, 45, who could be out of state, detectives said.Osmond Montgomery Winston and his daughters lived with Mary on Airview Drive.Mary Winston died Oct. 25 from septic sequelae, a complication brought on by her arthritis, according to an arrest report.She was last seen alive four days earlier by her son, the arrest report said.He admitted to being one of the caregivers, saw his mother's bedsores and admitted to detectives on the day his mother died that she needed medical attention, the arrest report said.McKinnon said it took the state attorney's office took eight months to file charges against the Winstons because the agency was reviewing all the evidence in the case."You don't want to rush to judgement and an arrest until all the evidence has been collected," McKinnon said. "We had to wait for the toxicology report and the autopsy report."Neighbor James Cole said he was unaware of Mary Winston's condition."I didn't even know the woman lived there," said Cole, 64. "It's a shock somebody died over there. My mother lives with me. She's 99 and I take care of her. I can't imagine this happening to anybody."Nicole Stookey, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Children & Families, said one warning sign that an elderly person is being abused is if they're sequestered away from public view."One of the signs we look for in abuse is isolation," Stookey said. "People who are abused tend to be isolated from the community."Cole said he didn't know Osmond Montgomery Winston well, but the two often chatted when they saw each other."We exchanged pleasantries from across the street," Cole said.Cole, who has lived on Airview Drive for 25 years, described the current state of his neighborhood as lower middle class. A number of elderly couples live there, he said, so it's not unusual to see ambulances parked along the street.Stookey said Mary Winston's case is a rarity. Most cases called into DCF's elderly abuse hotline deals with milder forms of abuse, such as verbal or financial."I am not aware of cases like this happening on a regular basis," Stookey said. "This is tragic. No one should be subjected to this abuse for that length of time."DCF fielded more than 64,000 calls to its hotline of suspected abuse of seniors or adults with disabilities last year.That's about 20 percent of all abuse cases, according to the agency. About one in six cases of elderly abuse is never reported, agency officials firstname.lastname@example.com(813) 259-7920Twitter@TBORay

Information Use Map
ms-11-46c.pdf — PDF document, 423 kB (434,007 bytes)
Year: 2011Abstract:
Existing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems typically focus on data collection and reporting to higher levels, while little attention is paid to how the data can be used locally for program improvements. As a result, there are many missed opportunities for feedback mechanisms and the identification of specific ways in which the data can be analyzed to make mid-course corrections.
Since such large amounts of money and effort are being devoted to collecting data and reporting in health information systems, maximizing the impact of that data for real-world benefit is essential. This is where the Information Use Mapping tool is so valuable.

"Scary Movie 3," which included the brewer's scantily-clad spokesmodels, the Coors Twins, and was heavily promoted by the brewer, infuriated alcohol industry watchdogs. They saw a beer sponsorship of a film rated PG-13 as a clear violation of industry guidelines preventing brewers from advertising where more than 30% of the audience was expected to be younger than 21-a standard the first two "Scary Movie" films met.
The backlash ranged from a class-action lawsuit-finally dismissed last fall-to a slew of negative headlines for the brewer. At the time, Coors executives said that they agreed to the sponsorship before they knew the movie would carry a PG-13 rating (the two earlier pictures were rated R), although the brewer opted to continue a promotional campaign after the ratings were released.
Estimates put Coors' media spending on the film in the mid-seven digits.
One piece of on-premise creative (see above) featured the Coors Twins, announced that they would be appearing in the film and added that "'Scary Movie 4' is now in the works."'
No twins, no beer
But despite the advance promotion, "Scary Movie 4" opened April 14, featuring neither the twins nor any other sign of Coors.
"Coors and Miramax learned a scary lesson," said a spokesman for the Marin Institute, an alcohol industry watchdog. "There are no happy endings when you promote beer in teen movies."
Coors signed a three-year, 15-picture placement deal with Miramax in 2002, but hasn't appeared in any other Miramax films after "Scary Movie 3."
Asked why, spokeswomen for Coors and Miramax each noted that the deal had expired and declined to elaborate. "We do not disclose the details of our contracts," a Coors spokeswoman said.
"Scary Movie 4"-which features celebrity cameos from Dr. Phil McGraw, Shaquille O'Neal, Carmen Electra, Molly Shannon and rappers Chingy, Lil' Jon and Young Bloods-grossed more than $67 million through April 27, including a $40 million opening weekend that set an Easter weekend record.
Coors currently has no placement deals with any other Hollywood studios.
"We're very pleased that Coors didn't shop for another teen placement, and that Miramax didn't seek another beer sponsor," said the Marin spokesman.

By Jeff Maisey
As Dave Mason tells it, classic rock artists today are essentially selling memories. This, in part, is why many recording artists ranging from Steely Dan to Yes have performed entire albums.
Mason is known for his virtuoso guitar work and songs such as "Feelin' Alright" from his days as a member of British rock group Traffic. He was also a highly sought after studio musician, having played the 12-string acoustic guitar on Jimi Hendrix's studio recording of "All Along the Watchtower." He also appeared on recordings by Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and on George Harrison's 1970 album, "All things Must Pass."
It was also in 1970 that Dave Mason released his debut solo record, "Alone Together," which included the hit "Only You Know and I Know," and featured guest musicians Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, Jim Keltner among others. Thirty percent of the albums were released on marble vinyl.
Last year, Mason rerecorded the album and called it "Alone Together Again." I talked with him by phone to learn more about his November 19 concert at the Sandler Center, where he plans to perform the entire album plus some additional works from yesteryear.
Classic rock artists have on occasion been performing complete albums start to finish live in concert. How did you arrive at the decision to perform your album in its entirety?
Three years prior to this I thought it'd be a fun idea to go out and do some Traffic stuff. So I put together this show called "Traffic Jams," which the first part was me revisiting some old Traffic stuff and then the second half of the show was me going through my life in music in 45 minutes.
That (tour) kept going for about three years. It was longer than I thought. I knew there were other acts out there doing their entire albums. I thought, you know, there are certain songs from "Alone Together" I've played as part of my show, like "Look at You Look at Me" and "Only You Know and I Know." Then there's the stuff I don't really perform that much.
For the most part people like me are in the business of selling memories. That's a big part of it for people.
Besides that I think the music holds up – the songs. There's a lot of timeless stuff on there. I consciously set out to write timeless songs.
I recorded the entire album. It sounds so much better than the original because I didn't really care for the original. I didn't like my voice. I couldn't really listen to it.
Some of the songs just came out so much better when I rerecorded them – it's ridiculous.
But essentially in the show it's memories. You're evoking memories in people.
Can you share with us the notion of recording your 1970 solo debut album?
We went in the studio and cut all the basic tracks in an afternoon. I was thinking about doing "Alone Together" as a show. I was able to redo those songs in a way I kind of always wanted to do. My voice has matured over the years. My guitar playing has gotten better. I'm as good as I'm ever going to be at this point in my life at 70 years of age.
Then I thought it'd be great to have a CD to sell at the show. Releasing a CD is not an option these days. There is no releasing a CD. The only place to sell a CD these days is at a show. That's it.
The CD will be multi-colored like the original with a straight, foldout cover. We'll make it a part of the show as a package. That's the way an artist like me has to deal with things. I always go out and sign for people after a show.
What do you want the audience to experience during the "Alone Together Again" show?
They spend money and come to a show and just want to be taken somewhere from the day-to-day grind. I want them leaving the show feeling better than when they walked in. I want young people to say, "Live music. Real. Wow. What a concept."
More than anything I strive just to be authentic. That relates to any age.

Mar. 13, 2012
BOSTON — In an open letter to MBTA users, state transportation secretary Richard Davey said Tuesday the plan to close a $159 million budget gap would include both fare hikes and service cuts. The letter was co-authored with acting MBTA general manager Jonathan Davis.
In its January draft plan, the agency presented two potential scenarios. The first would raise fares 43 percent and cut 23 weekday bus routes. The second would raise fares only 35 percent but cut 101 weekday bus routes. Both scenarios would end all ferry service and weekend commuter rail. However, political observers had speculated that in the end, the T would raise fares but not cut service.
The hearings often drew protests. Davey acknowledged the public outcry, writing, "Nearly 6,000 of you attended our 31 public meetings, with nearly 2,000 individuals offering public comment. In addition, we received 5,850 emails from you about the importance of the MBTA in your lives. By comparison, the last time the MBTA raised fares in 2007 just 800 people attended a public hearing."
The final hearing was held Monday night in Brighton.
But worse could be to come. Davey emphasized that the new changes would not provide a long-term solution to the T's financial woes: "without a new dedicated revenue source, we know we will be back in this very place next year." He called on state legislators and Gov. Deval Patrick to "continue these discussions" to find a fix.
> > WGBH News: Lawmakers and advocates struggle to find solutions According to the letter, the agency will make the plan public before the next board meeting, which is scheduled for Apr. 4.
What are your concerns about the possible changes? Let us know in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter @wgbhnews.

BtoB's Who's Who 2002
Top 10 Profiles< br/> Corporate Thought Leaders
Business Media
Direct & Database
Marketing Services
From Microsoft CEO Bill Gates to U.S. Postmaster General Jack Potter, there are many famous folks on BtoB's second annual "Who's Who" list. But among the 100 intelligent, interesting and insightful individuals we've selected are some—both rising stars and savvy veterans—who work in relative anonymity behind their brands, products and services.
Accepting nominations from readers, industry experts and our editorial staff, BtoB has created a comprehensive roster of names to know for 2002 and beyond. Our list of 100 is broken down into 10 categories that reflect the broad scope of the b-to-b universe: corporate thought leaders, marketers, plus executives who work in e-commerce, direct and database, marketing services, business media, analysts/academia, advertising agencies, customer relationship management and government or associations. And we've singled out 10 people—one per category—to profile in recognition of their recent successes or forthcoming challenges.
Top 10 Profiles:
Corporate thought leader:Bruce Cleveland, Siebel Systems
Last year was a down year for most, but it was a time of growth, prosperity and accolades for Siebel Systems Inc. A key member of the company's leadership team, Bruce Cleveland, senior VP-marketing, helped position Siebel on top of the still-white-hot customer relationship management market. In 2001, Siebel increased its revenue 14%, to $2.05 billion, and became the tech company others wanted to emulate. The company continued to spend money on marketing while others hid in their bunkers, waiting for the economy to rebound. Cleveland and his staff have spread the Siebel marketing message far and wide. In 2001, he ran schedules on network television, in major business books, on CNet and other major Web sites. Siebel's branding ads used images of small-town stores to associate the software company with old-fashioned customer service. "We are a company with old economy values in a new economy world," Cleveland said. "Our advertising campaigns during 2001 portrayed the importance of traditional values in building deep, personal and enduring relationships, showcasing the kind of one-to-one relationships companies used to have with their customers." And when it came to product marketing, particularly the campaign supporting the launch of the company's flagship CRM software, Siebel 7, Cleveland had the luxury of using client endorsements. "We have over 3,000 customers and 1 million production users of Siebel eBusiness Applications who are willing to speak to the tangible results they are achieving." -Sean Callahan
Marketer: Mich Mathews, Microsoft
Being able to adapt on the fly is an important quality for any marketer. But as corporate VP-marketing for Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft Corp., Mich Mathews has probably tested her ability more than most. And with the business world closely watching Microsoft's every step these days-from how it handles antitrust backlash to new product launches-Mathews must make her decisions regarding global marketing communications and strategies for the world's largest software company very carefully. Case in point: In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, Mathews and her staff scrambled to make last-minute changes to ads for the highly anticipated Oct. 25 launch of Windows XP. For obvious reasons, the original tagline "Prepare to Fly" was replaced with "Yes You Can," and efforts went forward without a hitch. Her team even stuck to its plan to hold launch events in New York City and invite Mayor Rudy Giuliani and TV personality Regis Philbin to share the stage with Bill Gates. The launch was a huge success, and Mathews now has focused serious attention on the b-to-b market for 2002. This spring, she helped kicked off the $200 million campaign "One Degree of Separation" for Microsoft's .NET enterprise software and technology business. Mathews says Microsoft has tremendous growth opportunity in the Internet and extensible markup language (XML) services arena. The primary focus of the campaign is to make sure customers know that the company's integrated solutions are best-of-breed and offer greater value, she said. The campaign uses corporate endorsements from Microsoft clients Pfizer Inc., Dollar Rent A Car, The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. and others. -Roger Slavens
At the helm of Doremus & Co. since 1992, Carl Anderson has helped transform the 99-year-old agency from a pure financial services-focused shop to a premier b-to-b agency serving a broad base of clients. Anderson joined Doremus in 1986 as chief operating officer, and was named president in 1992 and CEO in 1993. Beginning in 1995, he started an aggressive effort to broaden the agency's base of clients and services in response to increasing sophistication and creativity in the financial services sector. "I saw a real shift in the types of people [financial clients] had in communications," Anderson said. "They were becoming more serious about communications and were hiring people from Madison Avenue." So Anderson hired creative and strategic people from more traditional agencies such as Ogilvy & Mather and Young & Rubicam, and broadened the range of industries served. New clients since 1996 include Bank of America Corp., Corning Inc., Hitachi America Ltd. and ITT Industries Inc. Under his direction, the agency's billings grew from $100 million to $400 million since 1995. Anderson began his career as a consultant for Deloitte Haskins & Sells [now Deloitte & Touche], and became business affairs manager at BBDO in 1980. At the time, BBDO owned Doremus, which was later sold to Omnicom Group. -Kate Maddox
Business Media:Robert Callahan, Ziff Davis
It's been raining bad news on Ziff Davis Media Inc. lately: double digit ad-page declines. Staff terminations. Struggles to make bond payments. Robert Callahan, who became chairman-CEO of Ziff Davis last October, was brought in to provide shelter from the storm. And he may have the right background to pull it off. Most recently, he was president of the ABC Broadcast Group, managing the ABC TV Network, including, ABC News, ABC Sports and the ABC Radio Networks. He is trying to reinvigorate Ziff Davis by launching new products and investing in the company's strongest brands. "Ziff Davis Media is getting back to basics, back to what it does best," Callahan said. "We are driving organic growth through disciplined line extensions, investment in new brands, focusing on targeted audiences [through titles such as] Baseline, CIO Insight, The Net Economy. We also are reinvesting and reinventing our core assets, brands and people, [especially at] PC Magazine and eWEEK." He's confident the approach will work. "We are starting to see the results," he said, pointing to stats that show the tech ad market decline was 32.6%, while Ziff Davis' pages were down only 27.9% last year. In 2001, Ziff Davis' market share grew to 12.5%, an increase of 80 basis points over 2000. This year, Callahan hopes to show that there's a silver lining to the dark clouds hovering over the Ziff Davis brand. -S. C.
E-commerce:Robert Calderoni, Ariba
When Robert Calderoni took the helm of e-commerce software vendor Ariba Inc. last October, he knew he had a big job ahead of him. He had been through major transitions before, in leadership roles at both IBM Corp. and Apple Computer Inc. But Ariba was poised to make great leaps forward into a whole new arena: enterprise spend management. "It's safe to say that six months ago Ariba was a one-product company," Calderoni said. "But what we're about today is providing very pragmatic solutions to real business problems." Simply put, ESM is a set of solutions that allows companies to engage, monitor and leverage their spending across all commodities and for all spending, Calderoni explained. "First in that process is analysis, or 'find the money.' Second is sourcing: 'get the money.' And third is procurement: 'save the money,' " he said. Ariba has been working on ESM strategy and product development since last summer. "We've been defining and giving direction to the solutions that customers need to analyze their spending, source more effectively and ensure compliance, [all] to significantly improve their bottom lines," Calderoni said. "This is a product strategy that leverages our core strength and the original direction for the company as the leader in e-procurement. We have moved very quickly to deliver real products and add new customers to back up our vision." -B.K. and R.S.
Direct & database:Leland Kroll, Kroll Direct
Lee Kroll thinks the pendulum is starting to swing in the right direction for list managers and brokers. And he believes his company, Kroll Direct Marketing, is well positioned to take advantage of this change. Hampered by the sluggish economy and anemic advertising market, many b-to-b marketers recently have been relying on existing marketing lists to push their products and services. But in-house files can take a company only so far. B-to-b marketing executives are "starting to talk about sticking their big toes back into the water," said Kroll, who spent a decade with rival American List Council Inc. before launching his own company in 1989. "They have to come back for direct campaigns in the fall," he predicted. "They may not come back as strong on DM as they did in recent years, because they are doing more e-mail marketing, which can be very expensive but is a highly attractive and alternative channel to direct." Kroll currently has 15 million b-to-b names on the shelf, accounting for approximately 65% of his company's annual revenues of $8.6 million in 2001. He said the company also is hoping to break into European markets. Marketing international lists, Kroll said, is a veritable lay-up for list managers. "You can segment the data to local markets," he said, "and the translation of the lists allows a company to become global overnight." -Matthew Schwartz
CRM:Carol Burch, SAP America
In January 2001, after being named SAP's senior VP-global CRM business development, Carol Burch immediately started putting together a team to leverage the existing model to ultimately dominate the marketplace. "Within 12 months we went from 0 to 445 million Euros (about $400 million), taking market share away from the market leaders," she said. Burch said the company's mySAP CRM software application, part of a suite of cross-industry solutions that support customer interactions through various channels, will help them eventually attain the coveted No. 1 position in the customer relationship management software market. That's a lofty goal, considering SAP has to topple Siebel Systems and Oracle Corp. along the way. She admitted there is work to be done in getting the word out about the product. "Many are not aware that we have CRM solutions-so shame on us," said Burch, who, as the former SAP Canada president, brings 25 years of information technology sales and management experience to her current role. She asserted that her company's solutions are solid and necessary for current and potential customers. "If you are only able to answer questions faster, but it's the wrong answer, it's not better," Burch said. "We provide software that presents a 100% view. There shouldn't be a front office and a back office. Customers want to deal with one office." -Beth Kanter
Marketing services:Kevin Ryan, DoubleClick
New York-based DoubleClick Inc. made its name as the leader in consumer online advertising. That business, however, has shriveled of late, and Kevin Ryan, DoubleClick's CEO, has led the company into new-and, he hopes-more lucrative ventures such as e-mail technology, direct marketing and research. Such ventures make the b-to-b arena much more important to DoubleClick, and Ryan knows it. Following stints with Euro Disney and United Media, Ryan joined DoubleClick in 1996, when the company had just 20 employees. Today, he oversees a company with more than 1,000 employees and with many more offerings to customers than Web advertising. One DoubleClick unit courting b-to-b marketers is Abacus Alliance, a database of "almost a billion" transactions, according to Ryan. Using data generated by Abacus, businesses can determine the attributes of the people most likely to buy their products. "Purchasing information is more accurate than any other data you can come up with for determining likelihood to buy," Ryan said. He foresees Abacus growing its b-to-b base of customers. "The consumer business is more mature," he said. "We're going to expect a lot of growth to come from business-to-business." DoubleClick, Ryan said, also hopes to grow by offering its DARTmail-the company's e-mail technology-to b-to-b companies. He's already signed up e-marketplace software vendor Verticalnet Inc. and CRM software company Pivotal Corp. B-to-b also remains a part of DoubleClick's original ad-serving business. Billboard magazine, FreeEdgar and Nasdaq have used DoubleClick technology on their Web sites. -S.C.
Associations/ government:Greg Stuart, Interactive Advertising Bureau
As head of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Greg Stuart represents sellers of online advertising. But he brings to the job a decade's worth of experience on the media-buying side, as well as marketing expertise from start-up ventures. Stuart worked for New York ad agencies, including Jordan McGrath Case & Partners and Young & Rubicam, before taking charge of the interactive business of Y&R's direct agency Wunderman Cato Johnson in 1993. He launched his own consulting business in 1996, called @webrite Inc., with clients such as AOL's Greenhouse Networks, Infoseek and Sony Online Ventures. Later, Stuart served as VP-marketing and business development for Cars.com, VP-business development for Flycast Communications and president-CEO of ad technology company DeltaClick Inc. Since he took the helm of the IAB in October, he's led the charge to issue measurement guidelines for online advertising, as well as terms and conditions for online media buying. Upcoming projects include a major marketing mix study of Web publishers and advertisers, plus a marketing campaign promoting the "unique selling proposition" of online advertising. "I think we've done a phenomenal job in tackling some of the obstacles," Stuart said of his first six months on the job. -K.M.
Analysts/ academia: Wilma Jordan, The Fordan, Edmiston Group
A few months after helping to manage the 1987 sale of the Esquire Magazine Group, Wilma Jordan was considering her options when she got a call from a friend, Texas Monthly Publisher Mike Levy. He asked Jordan to fly from New York to Austin to discuss some of the magazine's business plans. When she got back from the Lone Star state, Jordan felt reinvigorated. "I said, 'Hey, I can do this,' " she said, referring to her ability to manage myriad aspects of business publishing. Nearly 15 years later, the Jordan, Edmiston Group Inc. is considered one of the top media investment banking firms on Wall Street. Jordan, the company's founder-CEO, regularly advises major b-to-b media publishers, including Reed Elsevier plc, VNU Business Media, Pearson plc and Primedia Inc., as well as consumer publishing giants Dow Jones & Co. and Hearst Corp. More than 90% of JEGI's business is on the sales side. In 2001, the firm brokered 17 media merger and acquisition transactions with an aggregate value of nearly $500 million. Jordan expects to close about 20 deals in 2002. "The banks are back, and investors are starting to say that they have to put in some money to work with the media." In 1998 Jordan created JEGI Capital, a venture capital subsidiary that invests in early-stage Internet, digital communications and e-commerce companies. But she says the company will remain a boutique specializing in highly vertical properties. "We're about a mile deep and an inch wide," she said. -M.S.

text: 14 August 2012A new procedure called the mini facelift has been created for people who are starting to notice the first signs of aging, but do not want to undergo a full facelift. Anthony Corrado, who works in the Philadelphia area of the US, is one person who performs the treatment and he noted it has a much shorter recovery period than more complicated surgery.Melodika.net stated that although the mini facelift is available to people of any age, it is most popular among 40 and 50-year-olds who are just beginning to notice the first signs of aging, but want to stay looking as young as possible. Small incisions are used to lift any sagging skin, while excess facial tissue is also removed, meaning a person�s face looks leaner and younger. Dr Corrado said many of his patients are excited about the procedure. �It gives patients who are just beginning to show signs of aging an opportunity to give themselves a new look. Often it provides the boost in confidence that they need in order to take on the middle years of their lives,� he stated.

Englewood's Back to School festival is Saturday.
Organizers said the Peace festival is an event that promotes a healthy and peaceful start to the school year.
It features live music, free food, and free school supplies and health screenings.
The event will be held at Life Builders United, on 6900 South Emerald Avenue.
It runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
