Turn Brings Booze, Cigarettes, Violence to Mad Men Finale
On Sunday night during Mad Men you will see a very interested commercial from audience insight and ad network Turn. Created by gyro, the ad matches the style of Mad Men and has a potentially deadly ending. We've seen the ad and it's interesting enough. Sadly, we're bound by the laws of embargo-based secrecy and can't show you the ad. But, we think you'll like it. And if not, you can aways "shoot" Turn some hate mail.

Film and panel focus on modern-day slavery
"Call+Response," a documentary about modern-day slavery featuring Princeton Professor Cornel West, will be shown at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10, in McCosh 50.
The film, which investigates the current slave trade in Cambodia, India and other countries, features performances by Moby, Natasha Bedingfield, Cold War Kids, Matisyahu, Imogen Heap, Talib Kweli and other musical artists. West, the Class of 1943 University Professor in the Center for African American Studies, appears in the film to discuss the historical connections between slavery and music.
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion of the film with West; Justin Dillon, the film's director; and Benjamin Skinner, a journalist who writes about slavery.
The event is sponsored by the Center for African American Studies, the Office of Religious Life, the Program in the Study of Women and Gender, and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

BLOOMFIELD, Conn., July 17 (UPI) -- Joint programmable fuzes (cq) for bombs used by the U.S. Air Force will continue to be produced by the Kaman Corporation.
The fuzes allow a bomb's settings to be programmed while on an aircraft in flight.
The JPF is used with general purpose bombs, and guided bombs that use JDAM or Paveway kits, on U.S. aircraft such as F-15, F-16, F-22, A-10, B-1, B-2, B-52 and the MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle.
"This order further solidifies the outlook for our largest single program with a backlog of $117 million that extends into 2016," said Kaman Aerospace Group President Greg Steiner. "The order demonstrates the USAF's continued fuzing requirements and commitment to the program."
The order is worth $8.5 million and is the eleventh option exercise of an earlier contract. With the new order, that contract now has achieved a value of about $50.4 million.
Kaman said units to be produced under the extension will be delivered next year and in 2016.
In addition to the United States, 26 other countries utilize Kaman's fuzes.

|Coming soon: The mother of all dream houses. 4008 El Cerrito, Palo Alto.
My building idol, James Witt (the Steve Jobs of Bay Area builders) is working a dream house in Barron Park that will be finished in November. James has been kind enough to let me shadow him while he builds it and is mentoring me through my own construction. In coming posts, I'll be blogging about some of the many lessons I learn from James and the makings of a dream home.
For those of you who'd rather buy than build, below is a sneak peek of the house and his contact information in case you want to make an offer before it hits the market. I offered to trade lots with him but sadly he didn't accept. Maybe you'll have better luck.
Address: 4008 El Cerrito Road, Palo Alto, CA 94306
- 5 Bedrooms, 4 1/2 Baths
- 13,328 sq ft lot (backs up to the open space and trails behind Gunn high school)
- 3750 sq ft living space plus attached 2 car garage
|View from the living room.
|Entry way to the house. Welcome to James' world.
*Tip for would-be buyers:
The house won't be done until November but James will occasionally pre-sell to the "right buyer." If you ask James what that means, he'll say the right buyer is someone who stays out of his hair. You see, James not your typical developer (spec home is a four-letter word to him). Anyone who's met him or has seen one of his houses knows that James an artist who labors over every last detail, so messing around with his vision is not advised. Having said that, a wino friend of mine bought James' last house before it was completed. Not only did my friend avoid the bidding wars, he also somehow managed to convince James to customize a wine gallery room for him. (Pretty sure there was plenty of alcohol involved in that negotiation.)
If you would like to contact James, stop by the house or email him at the address below.
Aug 2012 Update: Sorry folks, this house sold a few days after this post. Contact James if you'd like to be put on a list for future homes.

Check your plans
- To use two different carriers, your iPhone must be unlocked. Otherwise, both plans must be from the same carrier. If a CDMA carrier provides your first SIM, your second SIM won't support CDMA. Contact your carrier for more information.
- Both plans must be set up and ready to use.
- Make sure that you're in an area with supported coverage and that there are no service outages in your area.
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR purchased in China mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao can use two physical SIM cards. If you aren't in China mainland, or if you're in Hong Kong or Macao and have an iPhone XS, get help with Dual SIM with an eSIM.
Make sure to install both nano-SIM cards properly
If you think that neither SIM card—or SIM-card slot—works, follow these steps:
- Remove the SIM tray and inspect the SIM cards for signs of damage or corrosion.
- Remove your SIM cards from the SIM tray, then put the SIM cards back as displayed here.
- Make sure that you close the SIM tray completely, so that it isn't loose.
- Open Control Center and make sure that both carriers appear in the status bar.
- Go to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data and make sure that you see both plans.
- Tap each plan and make sure that the information is accurate.
Contact your carrier for a new nano-SIM in either of these situations:
- If a SIM card doesn't work in either SIM slot.
- If a SIM card doesn't fit or is bent.
If the primary or secondary SIM slot doesn't work with more than one SIM card, remove the SIM card that works and insert only the SIM card that isn't working. If it still doesn't work, contact Apple Support
Still need help?

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - About 280,000 Kentuckians will have to give up their current insurance policies in the months ahead and enroll in alternatives that comply with the federal Affordable Care Act.
Kentucky Department of Insurance spokeswoman Ronda Sloan said individual policies for about 130,000 people will be discontinued, as will small group policies for about 150,000 more.
Sloan said people affected will receive discontinuation letters when their policies come up for renewal. She said they will be transitioned into new polices that comply with the health care law.
Tea party activist David Adams is one of Kentucky's most ardent critics of the Affordable Care Act. He says forcing people to give up insurance policies of their choosing is unacceptable.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and VA are issuing their first, 'Warning Order', to service members and Veterans with VA home loans. If you have a VA home loan, then there is a good chance that you have already come into contact with unsolicited offers to refinance your mortgage that appear official and may sound too good to be true. Some lenders marketing VA mortgage refinances may use aggressive and potentially misleading advertising and sales tactics. Here is what you need to know about refinancing your VA home loan, please go to this link to learn more information.
An IRRRL can only be made to refinance a property on which you have already used your VA loan eligibility. It must be a VA to VA refinance, and it will reuse the entitlement you originally used.
A new Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is not required. You may take your Certificate of Eligibility to show the prior use of your entitlement or your lender may use our e-mail confirmation procedure in lieu of a certificate of eligibility.
VA does not set a cap on how much you can borrow to finance your home. However, there are limits on the amount of liability VA can assume, which usually affects the amount of money an institution will lend you. The loan limits are the amount a qualified Veteran with full entitlement may be able to borrow without making a down payment. These loan limits vary by county, since the value of a house depends in part on its location.
The basic entitlement available to each eligible Veteran is $36,000. Lenders will generally loan up to four times a Veteran's available entitlement without a down payment, provided the Veteran is income and credit qualified and the property appraises for the asking price. See Loan Limits for more information about the limits in your county.
Generally, all Veterans using the VA Home Loan Guaranty benefit must pay a funding fee. This reduces the loan's cost to taxpayers considering that a VA loan requires no down payment and has no monthly mortgage insurance. The funding fee is a percentage of the loan amount which varies based on the type of loan and your military category, if you are a first-time or subsequent loan user, and whether you make a down payment. You have the option to finance the VA funding fee or pay it in cash, but the funding fee must be paid at closing time. You do not have to pay the fee if you are a:
The funding fee for second time users who do not make a down payment is slightly higher. Also, National Guard and Reserve Veterans pay a slightly higher funding fee percentage. See Loan Fees for more information about loan costs. Some lenders offer IRRRLs as an opportunity to reduce the term of your loan from 30 years to 15 years. While this can save you money in interest over the life of the loan, you may see a very large increase in your monthly payment if the reduction in the interest rate is not at least one percent (two percent is better). Beware: It could be a bigger increase than you can afford.

Star NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old Georgia college student -- a claim the Pittsburgh Steelers player is denying.
The accusation was made after the two-time Super Bowl champion spent Thursday night bar hopping with his friends and a group that included the alleged victim, cops said.
"He's been identified as being at the scene and there are allegations naming him as the perpetrator," Deputy Chief Richard Malone said of the Steelers star.
Malone said the quarterback was with three friends when they began mingling with the accuser and a group of her friends. Before the alleged attack, Roethlisberger and the woman visited "multiple establishments" together, Malone said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The incident happened at the Capital City nightclub in downtown Milledgeville, a town about 85 miles southeast of Atlanta. The woman told police she was "sexually assaulted or sexually manipulated" by a man whom she described, but did not name Roethlisberger.
"He's been identified as being at the scene," Malone said. The woman was treated and released from a local hospital and has been interviewed by cops. The AJC identified her as a student at Georgia College & State University.
Roethlisberger, who owns a home in the area, also spoke with cops but no charges have been announced. His agent denied the accusation -- while making reference to a prior claim of sexual misconduct against the player.
Roethlisberger, 28, has been sued by a woman who claims he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel. The Steelers star denies those allegations and has asked for counter-damages.
"Last night, Ben and his friends met a group of women and everyone mingled together throughout the evening," the player's agent, Ryan Tollner, said in the statement.
"We have spoken to law enforcement. Based on information currently available, an allegation was made against Ben, which appeared to be dismissed after a preliminary investigation last night. Obviously, given the prior accusation against Ben, we are skeptical of motive, but we will continue to cooperate with everyone involved."
Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett released a statement from the team. "We are gathering information and that is the only comment we have at this time," it said.
The owner of a restaurant near the nightclub said the quarterback and his friends were at his eatery earlier Thursday night and appeared to be well behaved and friendly.
"He was very polite with everybody," said Frank Pendergrast, owner of The Brick. "He was down here from about 11:30 until about 1:30 having a good time, talking to a lot of people. Looked like he was signing autographs and letting people take pictures. Other than that, it was really uneventful."

Benjamin William Leader
English, 1831–1923
Evening on the Conway, North Wales, 1899
oil on canvas
30.7 x 46.1 cm
Permanent loan to the Winnipeg Art Gallery from the City of Winnipeg, A.A. Heaps Collection
When he began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1857, Benjamin Leader Williams transposed his name to Benjamin Williams Leader so that he wouldn't be confused with another family of painters with the surname Williams. Leader studied at the Royal Academy School in London and decided early on to focus on the landscape genre. His father was acquainted with John Constable, and the influence of the English master's style—mainly his rich palette of browns and greens applied with aggressive brushstrokes—is clearly evident in Leader's work. Leader was interested in capturing both the colour and atmosphere of his landscape subject, and he would document scenes at different times of the day and in various climactic conditions. In the WAG picture, the picturesque lake scene is shown at evening light; a man can be seen fishing on the far side of the lake, while two other figures sit on the bank behind him.

A living kidney donation comes most often from a family member such as a parent, child, brother or sister. A donor can also be a spouse, friend or co-worker. Or it can be a stranger. A genetic link between donor and recipient, although beneficial, is not always required. This is largely due to improved anti-rejection medications.
A good living donor candidate is someone who is healthy, well-informed and makes a voluntary decision to donate one of their kidneys. Living donors must be over 18 and usually less than 70 years of age. They must be in good general health with no evidence of significant high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, heart disease or hepatitis.
Several tests will be necessary to determine if their kidney is compatible with the intended recipient.

text: The Eagles recorded their albums relatively quickly in their first years of existence, their LPs succeeding each other by less than a year. One of These Nights, their fourth album, was released in June 1975, more than 14 months after its predecessor. Anticipation had been heightened by the belated chart-topping success of the third album's "The Best of My Love"; taking a little more time, the band generated more original material, and that material was more polished. More than ever, the Eagles seemed to be a vehicle for Don Henley (six co-writing credits) and Glenn Frey (five), but at the same time, Randy Meisner was more audible than ever, his two lead vocals including one of the album's three hit singles, "Take It to the Limit," and Bernie Leadon had two showcases, among them the cosmic-cowboy instrumental "Journey of the Sorcerer" (later used as the theme music for the British television series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Nevertheless, it was the team of Henley and Frey that stood out, starting with the title track, a number one single, which had more of an R&B -- even a disco -- sound than anything the band had attempted previously, and continuing through the ersatz Western swing of "Hollywood Waltz" to "Lyin' Eyes," one of Frey's patented folk-rock shuffles, which became another major hit. One of These Nights was the culmination of the blend of rock, country, and folk styles the Eagles had been making since their start; there wasn't much that was new, just the same sorts of things done better than they had been before. In particular, a lyrical stance -- knowing and disillusioned, but desperately hopeful -- had evolved, and the musical arrangements were tighter and more purposeful. The result was the Eagles' best-realized and most popular album so far. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

First off, I want to thank all of my followers who are STILL posting, commenting and sending me emails, years after my last post! You are the ones who keep me excited and motivated to write! If you need advice on Ghana and want to learn my opinion, please email me your name, phone number, and best time to call you (calls must be within USA). I have so much to say about the country I love, I cannot possibly answer all of your questions through blog entries or emails.
I am very excited that I am going back to Ghana this Jan 2013!!! Last time I went to Ghana was summer 2011 so it has been a trip long over-due. I am very excited about volunteering at West Africa Aids Foundation with my mentor Dr. Naa. I will stay with her family again and help out in every way I can. Dr. Naa came up with a wonderful project proposal that I am very excited to get started on. She realized that there is a large problem with traffic accidents in Ghana, and there are very few ambulances available (they usually only respond to the needs of the wealthy). If you remember back in 2010 during my study abroad trip, I founded the WAAF Ambulance Fund to raise money for the clinic to get their own ambulance. Patients are commonly transported to and from hospitals in taxis, which is a major health and safety concern. The proposal Dr. Naa and I are working on together is to develop a First Aid Program, teach basic EMT/ first responder techniques, and provide First Aid kits to drivers in Ghana, to help increase the chances of car accident victims recovering after an accident. Many drivers of taxis and trotros (vans) have not received first aid training before, and once they are properly trained and supplied, they could make a large impact on car accident survival rates. Many American basic First Aid techniques must be altered in order to make the education relevant and effective in Ghana. Drivers can make a significant difference in reducing road-side mortality rates if they learn how to ensure the safety of passengers during traffic accidents.
Since my return to USA, I graduated with my bachelors from Cornell University, I got my EMT-B license, and I worked as an EMT for the largest private ambulance/EMS company in the Northeast. I am very excited at the opportunity to put my EMT skills to good use through teaching and educating others. The idea of bringing two of my passions together, my love for EMT/medicine and my love for Ghana, will be an excellent opportunity for me. I am also in the process of getting my application together for medical school, which is a long and rigorous process in and of itself. I am looking forward to going back to Ghana to return to my source of joy, inspiration and motivation. After all, if it wasn't for my study abroad trip to University of Ghana and my internship at Dr. Naa's clinic back in 2010, I may not be here writing to you today and I may not be on my path to a career in medicine so early in life! Well, I would like to believe I would have found this career path eventually, and I would HAVE to find my mentors at WAAF someway…It seems like I was destined to be here, to become a doctor and to work in underserved areas with the people I love and admire on a local and global scale. I could talk about my love and passion for medicine, WAAF/IHCC, and my proposal in Ghana for days… I will sum it all up in a smile 🙂 and a <3
What made me decide I had to go back to Ghana? It's funny, I was reminded of these reasons recently. First, one of my best girlfriends from my study abroad trip went BACK to Ghana to see her boyfriend that she met there in 2010. I was interested in how they kept the relationship alive, long distance for over 2 years without seeing each other! Now that takes strength! She inspired me to return to Ghana. As you know, I publicized my engagement with my Ghanaian boyfriend in the beginning of my blog, but since then we decided it would be best to just be friends since long distance wasn't working well for us for various reasons. Well, I am happy to inform you that I am still in contact with him and he is in a position to make an impact now and help me with my developmental projects in Ghana. I am very excited to go back and see all of my friends in Ghana, including my Cornell grad friends, my friends from U of Ghana who I met during study abroad, and all of the wonderful people who have helped me and inspired me along the way. I want to go back to the Night Market and say hi to the lovely friends who made my breakfast sandwiches each and every morning, and I want to go back to my friend at Bush Canteen who made all of my beads. I remember, she measured me and tied together all of my beautiful waist beads. And I also have my friend who made all of my traditional Ghanaian clothes and styles! I have so many people I love and miss in Ghana, I can't wait to visit them 🙂 My third source of inspiration that really encouraged me to go back was my other girlfriend's wedding party! She got engaged to a Nigerian while she was in Ghana. They knew each other through mutual friends and they had a long distance relationship for a while. I am happy they received blessings from both sides of their families, and they are getting married! I am very happy for them.
These stories prove to me that love IS what makes life so beautiful. Passion and love, whether its for a person, a place, or a purpose. If you LOVE who you are and you LOVE what you do, everything else will fall into place. Life is too beautiful and intense to let a day slip away from you. You have to seize every moment, reflect on what you love, and make a difference for others in anyway you can. Sometimes just saying hi to a neighbor or giving away something as a gift is enough to keep the source of human connectedness alive. Sometimes it takes more—well sometimes it takes dedicating a CAREER and livelihood to follow your dreams into uncharted territory, to stand alone on a cause that you are passionate about, and to find others who support that mission as well. I know I don't stand alone—although I am alone in my studies and my medical school mission, I know I have people who love and support me on a local and global level, and I want to succeed for US ALL. I can envision myself as a first year medical student, retuning to Ghana in Summer 2015 and sharing my experiences with my mentor, Dr. Naa, in the same clinic where all of these beautiful ideas were born.
Thank you for your continued support and I am looking forward to your responses and feedback.
Have a great day!
~Peace and Love ~

American Cable Association Summit 26
Across the United States, small and rural markets participate in the digital revolution by receiving video, broadband, and phone services from nearly 800 small and medium-sized independent operators represented by the American Cable Association.
ACA's members -- cable, phone, and fiber-to-the-home operators and municipalities -- deliver affordable basic and advanced services to nearly 7 million households and businesses. ACA members operate in every state, offering high-definition television, next generation Internet access, and digital phone service. Access to advanced communications is not a luxury but a critical necessity for consumers and companies, schools and hospitals. America's economic prosperity in smaller markets and rural areas depends on the growth and success of ACA members, who believe a connected nation, is a united nation.
The ACA asks lawmakers and regulators to ensure fair treatment so that small and medium-sized independent operators may continue to supply affordable video, broadband, and phone services to Main Street America. Through active participation in the policymaking process, ACA members and leaders advocate for the interests of their customers, their companies, and their communities to help ensure the continued viability of their way of life in hometown America.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, February 08, 2011
Katie Beth's Law
A new pool safety law has taken effect in Tennessee as of January 1, 2011. Named after the Great-Granddaughter of Tennessee state Senator Charlotte Burk, this new pool safety law aims to ensure an active layer of protection around all swimming pools and spas that are greater than 36 inches deep.
"The depth requirement was clearly unique in this bill" states a representative from Senator Burk's office. "Tennessee has a large number of above ground pools, and these account for close to half of all drowning incidents in the state".
Another interesting rider on the bill requires pool and spa sales companies to post signs in their place of business stating that "State Law requires a Pool Alarm be Installed". Many local Tennessee pool and spa retailers are seeing an increase in pool alarm sales. The law is quite specific in the models that can be used, as one of the main requirements is that the alarm sense an object of 15lbs being dropped into the pool. The Poolguard PGRM-2 or the PoolEye PE-22 will both meet the new pool safety code in Tennessee.
Katie Beth's law covers all new pool and spa construction, but also applies to any renovation project for which a permit is required. Small equipment changes do not normally require permits, but major pool jobs such as plaster, tile and coping may require a permit to be pulled. If so, the pool owner is then required to have a working pool alarm on site for the inspection phase of the project.
Manufacturers of pool alarms, especially PoolGuard and PoolEye are of course supporting Katie Beth's law, as they stand to sell more pool alarms. Pool and spa dealers also benefit from increased sales, although some feel that increasing the overall price of the product (pool ownership) may drive consumers toward other uses of their discretionary income.
Pool safety alarms, per se, cannot prevent drownings, but surely this new law will help to prevent some future tragedies from occurring. Our hope is that this draws more attention to the issue of pool safety nationwide, and can encourage all pool owners to heed the wake up call presented here. There is no substitute for proper supervision and layers of protection around the pool. Technologies, or layers don't prevent drownings, in and of themselves.
The Katie Beth law will undoubtedly help reduce the number of drownings, and increase the number of near drownings - or possibly prevent accidents from occuring around the swimming pool, spa or other accessible body of water.
Other states are also considering similar legislation. Texas pool safety laws are being looked at now, and other sunbelt states are waiting to see how Tennessee acclimates to the new requirements. If you think this is a good idea, or a bad idea, comment below, or better yet - send a letter to your Congressman!

Private foundations' investment returns rose to an average of 15.6% in 2013, according to a survey released Wednesday by the Council on Foundations and Commonfund Institute.
Survey data showed that foundations with more than $500 million in assets had the highest return, 16.5% net of fees. Organizations with assets between $101 million and $500 million had an average return of 15.5%, and smaller foundations had an average return of 15.2%.
According to the study, trailing three-year returns for participating foundations averaged 8.7%, compared with 2012's 7.9%.
Trailing five-year returns jumped to 12% from 1.7%, as the abysmal 2008 return of -25.9% dropped out of the five-year calculation. For the trailing 10-year period, returns averaged 6.9% compared with last year's 7.9%.
The 2013 Council on Foundations-Commonfund Study of Investments for Private Foundations was based on data from 153 private foundations with assets of $94.1 billion.
Individuals at these institutions most knowledgeable about investment matters participated in the survey through Web-enabled questionnaires and field interviews during the first and second calendar quarters of 2014.
"This report contains good news for the country," the leaders of the Council on Foundations and Commonfund Institute said in a joint statement. "With double-digit returns for the second year in a row, private foundations have regained solid financial footing positioning them well for community investment."
The statement noted that an average of 56% of participating foundations reported an increase in mission-related spending, up from 47% a year ago, and only 26% reported a decrease, down from last year's 32%.
"As communities continue to recover, they look to government, businesses and the philanthropic sector to help them find solutions. As foundation assets continue to rebound, they have more resources to invest in programs that advance the common good."
Domestic Equities Ascendant
In fiscal 2013, domestic equities produced the highest return by far for foundations — an average of 31.8%, double the 15.9% return reported for investments in international equities, according to the study.
Alternative strategies generated a 7.3% return, while short-term securities/cash/other returned 0.1%.
Fixed income was down 0.7% in fiscal 2013 as the gradual withdrawal of market support by central banks caused historically low interest rates to rise and bond prices to fall.
Within the broad category of alternative strategies, distressed debt came out on top for the second consecutive year, at 24.4%, followed by venture capital at 14.2%.
Marketable alternative strategies — including hedge funds, absolute return, market neutral, long/short, 130/30, event driven and derivatives — reported a 12.6% advance.
Private equity returned 11.4%, and non-campus private equity real estate returned 9.4%.
Energy and natural resources were up 4.9% in 2013, while commodities and managed futures were down 8.3% for the year.
On December 31, participating foundations had the following asset allocations, with comparable FY2012 allocations in parentheses:
- Domestic equities: 24% (26%)
- Fixed income: 9% (11%)
- International equities: 20% (16%)
- Alternative strategies: 42% (42%)
- Short-term securities/cash/other: 5% (5%)
Resources, Management and Governance
The survey found that the number of full-time professional private foundation staff devoted to investments averaged 1.3 full-time equivalents last year, a decline from the fiscal 2012 average of 1.4 and 1.5 in fiscal 2011.
Twenty-five percent of study participants reported having a chief investment officer, a figure that rose to 58% among the largest participating foundations.
Seventy-three percent of foundations reported using a consultant, compared with 80% a year ago.
Thirty percent of respondents said they had substantially outsourced their investment function, down from last year's 38%.
Ninety-five percent of participating foundations reported that they had a conflict-of-interest policy.
The average number of voting members on participating foundations' investment committees was 5.5, up from 5.4 reported for the two previous years.
The average number of investment committee members who were investment professionals was 2.4, down from 2.5 last year, while investment committee members with alternative strategies experience stood at 1.6, down from 1.7 reported for the last two years.

Tom Selleck is back with a vengeance with the sixth installment of "Jesse Stone" on CBS on Sunday and "The Killers" in theaters June 4. But the star admits he was almost knocked out of the biz by "Christopher Columbus."
The 1992 flop is the only movie he speaks ill of. Selleck's King Ferdinand of Spain was widely criticized amid the rubble of the movie.
"I was only in it for like five scenes," Selleck, 65, tells USA Today. "It was a horrible movie. Gene Siskel hated it and reviewed my wig."
He took a break, spending time on his 60-acre ranch. "It was going to be a year off but it turned into three," he said. "Everyone thought it was because nobody was offering me any work."
There was a bright side. "I got to know Marlon Brando, that was cool," he said. "But the movie was not cool."
Selleck is back and ageless as ever. An icon in a disposable age. Long may the mustache reign even if the wig sucked.

Developers hoping to build a wind farm on the Herefordshire/Welsh border have applied to vary planning conditions – prompting a second wave of objections.
Herefordshire Council granted Bolsterstone Innovative Energy permission to site four turbines on top of Reeves Hill, near Presteigne, last September.
But work cannot start until Powys County Council gives permission for a major access road on the Welsh side of the site.
While waiting for Powys to make a decision, Bolsterstone has applied to vary conditions of Herefordshire's planning consent.
The applicant specifically wants to alter the angle of site entrances on this side of the border.
Since being submitted, the proposed changes have prompted 32 letters of objection, including strong objection from Presteigne and Norton Town Council.
A decision is due by November 14.

Lana Del Rey Confesses: 'I Wish I Was Dead Already'by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Much of Lana Del Rey's music is dark and haunting, but a recent interview she gave to UK's The Guardian revealed some deeply disturbing and surprising statements.
"I wish I was dead already," the 'Ultraviolence' singer revealed. When the interviewer was shocked at the statement, he instinctively began insisting that she didn't really mean that.
"I do!" she replied. "I don't want to have to keep doing this. But I am."
"This" meaning making music? he questioned. (The singer recently dropped her latest record 'Ultraviolence.')
"Everything. That's just how I feel," she explained. "If it wasn't that way, then I wouldn't say it. I would be scared if I knew [death] was coming, but …"
According to The Guardian, Del Rey revealed just how deeply unhappy she is in her life and career.
"Family members will come on the road with me and say: 'Wow, your life is just like a movie!'" she revealed. "And I'm like: 'Yeah, a really f—-d-up movie.'"
Del Rey has faced a lot of criticism and backlash after her breakout first single 'Video Games,' with many wondering if her whole act was fake. But despite all of that, the reporter notes, the single was what introduced the world to Del Rey and was highly praised by many. Still, Del Rey insists that she never had a moment to enjoy her success.
"I never felt any of the enjoyment," she explained. "It was bad, all of it."
And her current relationship with fellow musician Barrie-James O'Neill doesn't seem to offer much solace.
"We have a very difficult road," she said of their relationship. "He's a very dark character. He has months on end where it's a really dark stretch of writing and waiting, he has his total own world so …"
Still, the reporter finds to find some trace of happiness in the singer's life, so he touches on the moments she spends with fans at her concerts. Does that make her happy?
"No," she said. "I don't know what I think. All I know is that, right now, I like sitting here, on this terrace."
While the dark place that she is in may help Del Rey create intense music, we hope that she finds a sense of happiness and peace in her life.

The experimental Nissan DeltaWing racecar will be back in action during the finale of the American Le Mans Series race at Road Atlanta on Oct. 17-20.
It will be piloted by Nissan's first GT Academy champion, Lucas Ordonez, and ALMS 2011 PC-class champion Gunnar Jeannette.
The Nissan DeltaWing is powered by a 1.6-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, making 300 hp. Its dartlike shape allows it to race with less aerodynamic drag, and lower fuel consumption than the competition. It's capable of a 199 mph top speed.
Here are two minutes of the prototype practicing at Road Atlanta.

Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy both had distinguished themselves on stage and film individually and together before the night in 1951 when they opened on Broadway in The Fourposter and became a theatrical couple with whom to be reckoned.
Since then, the names of these two performers, who met in 1940 and married in 1942, have been as surely linked professionally as Lunt and Fontanne, and they were hailed as a premier theater couple.
Among the Broadway plays in which they subsequently starred are Madam Will You Walk and Triple Play, both of which Cronyn also directed, Bedtime Story, Hamlet, for which he received a Tony Award as supporting actor in 1964 for his portrayal of Polonius, Three Sisters and The Physicists.
The Gin Game, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of 1978, which Cronyn co-produced with Mike Nichols, won Tony and Drama Desk awards for Tandy and Tony and Drama Desk award nominations for him.
When the play opened in Hartford prior to its Broadway run, it was hailed as "a well-crafted production, filled with alternating compassion and explosion made larger then it is by. . . uncompromising logic and masterly timing and performed by consummate actors who have worked together for so long that they exhibit the virtues of a well-seasoned company in a slight piece for two players."
Their Foxfire won Tandy another Tony. Both were nominated for Tonys for their Broadway play, The Petition, and both received acclaim for their revival of The Fourposter. They have starred together in thousands of performances on various stages throughout the country.
The first film in which they appeared together was The Seventh Cross, for which he was nominated for an Oscar in 1944. Other motion pictures in which they both performed include The Green Years, Honky Tonk Freeway, The World According to Garp, Cocoon, and Batteries Not Included.
Cronyn made his professional debut at the National Theater, Washington, D.C., in Up Pops the Devil in the spring of 1931 after leaving his native Canada and attending McGill University. He had become a valued member of director George Abbott's personal "Stock Company" by the time he reached his middle 20s. He made his first appearance on Broadway as a janitor and understudy to Burgess Meredith in the role of Jim Hipper in Hipper's Holiday in 1934. Boy Meets Girl, Three Men on A Horse, High Tor, and Room Service followed on Broadway, and the sale of Room Service to Columbia Pictures sent him to Hollywood, although, because he refused to be screen tested for the role he had created on Broadway, he did not appear in the film version. (Ultimately is was made by RKO Pictures with the Marx Brothers.)
"When the rights to Room Service were sold to Columbia, Harry Cohn, who ran the studio, asked to see me," Cronyn recalled. "I was shown into a very large office, and Cohn said, 'Tell me about yourself.' I had noticed a file of the play and me on his desk, so I said, 'Mr. Cohn, you've got it right in front of you.' 'You're a Canadian,' responded Cohn. 'You went to McGill University. I'm not interested in that. Maybe we'll test you.' 'I don't think that should be necessary,' I said and walked out. That was the end of it. It was a hopeless interview. I'd been playing the part on stage for months after all, but I had a decidedly unrealistic approach to the subject of screen tests as a youth!"
Cronyn did appear in the Alfred Hitchcock films Shadow of a Doubt and Lifeboat and wrote the film adaptation of Patrick Hamilton's play Rope and Helen Simpson's novel Under Capricorn for Hitchcock.
The actor's high regard for the late director inspired him to write a letter to The New York Times in protest of Donald Spoto's controversial Hitchcock biography The Dark Side of Genius.
"I knew it probably wouldn't do any good," the actor was quoted as having said, "but I wanted to be on record as stating that the man in the book wasn't the man I'd known and worked with."
Cronyn's numerous additional New York stage credits also include Krapp's Last Tape, an Off Broadway production for which he received an Obie Award in 1973, and Big Fish, Little Fish which won him a Drama League Award in 1961.
On television, his credits are equally long and rage from the series "The Marriage," in which he starred with his wife in the early 1950s, to productions of several of his Broadway hits. He received a Writers Guild Award, a Christopher Award, and an Emmy nomination in 1985 for his screenplay (with co-author Susan Cooper) for the television film The Dollmaker.
Tandy, who joined the Birmingham (England) Repertory Company in 1928, had already played on the British stage when she made her first film, The Indiscretions of Eve, an English musical in which she plays what she described as "a sort of comic Cockney maid." Her first Broadway appearance was as Toni Rakonitz in The Matriarch two years later.
In addition to the subsequent plays and films she did with her husband, the actress has to her credit the role of Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, which won her a Tony Award in 1948. She received a New York Drama League Award for Five Finger Exercise, Drama Desk Awards for the Off Broadway plays Happy Days and Not I, and an Obie for the latter.
Additional films in which she appeared include Forever Amber, Dragonwyck, Desert Fox, The Light in the Forest, Best Friends, The Bostonians, Hitchcock's The Birds, and more recently, Driving Miss Daisy and Fried Green Tomatoes.
"I can only act," Tandy said once, looking back on her career. "Hume can write. He can direct. And he can act--and he can put a project together."
Playwright Brian Clark, author of Petition and also of Whose Life is it Anyway?, sums up the magical theatrical chemistry of the two stars.
"The way they play together is wonderful," he explains. "The understanding, the bantering. Everything that comes with a lifetime of knowledge."

There is the opinion expressed that gwersi would be a 'cringeworthy" mistake and Gwersi is the correct plural of Gwers.
Unfortunately the opinion does not carry further proof.
Can this be confirmed by a Welsh speaker here?
Thank you very much in advance!
Eilthireach /|\.
gwersi is a cringeworthy inaccuracy used mistakenly by the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids (OBOD) instead of the correct Welsh word Gwersi, meaning lessons. The Welsh Language Society have confirmed that the correct spelling and pronunciation is Gwersi, and that gwersi as a word does not and has never existed in Welsh. OBOD produce a distance learning course, which they call the gwersi (aargh!), in the form of booklets and CD's. Through the use of these lessons, druids may learn about their traditions and progress on their spiritual path through the grades of Bard, Ovate and finally Druid.

The report comes from the Public Policy Institute of California, which analyzed its polling data to determine whether several potential initiative process changes would be popular.
Turns out they are. For example, there's "very strong support among Californians for seeing if there are ways that the initiative's sponsor and the legislature can have discussions beforehand and see if they can come to a compromise, before an initiative goes to the ballot," says the PPIC's Mark Baldassare.
Californians would also support allowing the legislature to review and revise initiatives to help avoid court challenges over drafting errors. And they want to increase disclosure of who's paying for ballot measure campaigns during the signature gathering process and in the voter pamphlet.
Some changes would require voter approval; others could be made by the legislature alone.
