1 CH4-CHEST CT of Pleural Abnormalities W. Richard Webb Dept of Radiology, University of California of San Francisco, San Francisco 3) MY which the soft-tissue opacity parietal pleura and innermost intercostal muscle are separated by a layer of low attenuation fat In the paravertebral regions, a distinct stripe of density, 1 or 2 mm in thickness, indicates the presence of pleural thickening. The pleural surface of the lung and adjacent chest wall are made up of a number of tissue layers. On CT in normal patients, a 1 to 2 mm thick stripe of soft tissue density (the "intercostal stripe") is often visible in the anterolateral and posterolateral intercostal spaces, at the point of contact of lung with chest wall. 1 This stripe primarily represents the innermost intercostal muscle. Although the parietal pleura, a thin layer of extrapleural fat, and the endothoracic fascia lie internal to the innermost intercostal muscle and rib segments, they are not normally visible on CT orhrct. In the paravertebral regions, the innermost intercostal muscle is anatomically absent. In this location, a very thin line (the "paravertebral line") is sometimes visible on CT at the lung-chest wall interface; this line represents the combined thicknesses of the visceral and parietal pleura and the endothoracic fascia. 1 CT Diagnosis of Pleural Thickening Asbestos exposure is known to result in thickening of the parietal pleura. 1 ' 3 Thus, patients with asbestos exposure serve as an excellent model of parietal pleural thickening for the purpose of understanding the CT appearances of pleural disease. In patients with asbestos exposure, parietal pleural thickening can result in 3 findings: 1) A stripe of soft tissue density, 1 mm or more in thickness, can be seen internal to rib segments. Since parietal pleural thickening is often associated with thickening of the normal extrapleural fat layer, the thickened pleura may be separated from the rib by several mm. 2) Thickening of the extrapleural fat layer can also allow the thickened parietal pleura to be Seen as distinct from the innermost intercostal muscle. This results in the "sandwich sign", in CT Technique for Examining the Pleura or Pleuro- Pulmonary Disease Usually contiguous 1 cm collimation, or spiral CT with 7 mm collimation is sufficient for imaging pleural abnormalities. Contrast enhancement at an injection rate of 1-2 ml/sec is essential; following contrast opacification thickened pleura, fluid collections, and collapsed or consolidated lung can be distinguished [4]. This is not always possible without contrast infusion. Diagnosis of Pleural Fluid Collections Is it an exudate or a transudate? Distinguishing an exudate from a transudate can be important in differential diagnosis and clinical management. Exudative effusions can have a variety of causes, but often reflect the presence of a pleural abnormality associated with increased permeability of pleural capillaries. 56 Common causes of an exudate include pneumonia, empyema, and neoplasm. Transudative effusions are unassociated with pleural disease, and are usually the result of systemic abnormalities which cause an imbalance in the hydrostatic and osmotic forces leading to pleural fluid formation. Common causes of a transudative effusion include congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, overhydration, and nephrotic syndrome. Most effusions appear to be near water in attenuation on CT. CT numbers cannot be used to reliably predict the protein content or specific gravity of the fluid, and whether it is a transudate or an exudate. Acute or subacute hemothorax can sometimes appear inhomogeneous in attenuation with some regions, particulary dependent regions, having a CT attenuation value greater than that of water. The appearance of the parietal pleura on contrast enhanced CT can be of value in predicting the nature of a pleural fluid collection [4]. The presence of 82
2 thickened parietal pleura on contrast enhanced CT, in association with a pleural effusion, indicates that the fluid collection is an exudate, with only rare exceptions. Such an effusion should be tapped for diagnosis. The absence of pleural thickening in a patient with pleural effusion indicates that the effusion is either a transudate or exudate. 47 In a study we ha ve performed, 4 pleural thickening is present in only 61 % of consecutive patients with an exudate; this finding had a specificity of 96% in diagnosing exudate and a positive predictive value of 97%. Pleural thickening on CT is least sensitive (27-48%) in patients with an exudate associated w ith neoplasm. On the other hand, CT shows pleural thickening and enhancement in nearly all patients with empyema. In a study by Waite et al., 7 23 of 24 empyemas demonstrated pleural thickening and enhancement on CT. In our study, all 10 empyemas showed pleural thickening; pleural thickening was less frequently (56%) seen in association with uninfected parapneumonic effusions. Thus, in a patient with symptoms of infection and a pleural effusion, thepresenceof parietal pleural thickening on CT indicates thepresenceof an exudate, and thoracentesis is necessary. If pleural thickening is absent, empyema or complicated parapneumonic effusion (one needing drainage for treatment) is highly unlikely. In a patient with malignancy, CT does not help in assessing the presence or absence of a malignant effusion, and thoracentesis is usually required regardless of what CT shows. Sonography is also useful in diagnosing the presence of an exudate, with an accuracy nearly identical to that of CT. Yang et al 8 found that all effusions having the sonographic appearances of septation, complex nonseptation, or homogeneous echogenicity were exudative. Anechoic effusions, however could be either transudative or exudative. The sensitivity of sonography in this study was 66%, with a specificity of 100% and a positive predictive value was 100%. Diagnosis of Pleural Fluid Abnormalities in Patients with Pneumonia Pleural fluid accumulates in approximately 40% of patients with pneumonia, and the term parapneumonic effusion is used to describe this occurrence. Parapneumonic effusions are usually classified in 3 stages (these are also known as the 3 stages of an empyema). Stage 1 (Exudative Stage) An exudative parapneumonic effusion probably results from increased permeability of the visceral pleura. Effusions in this stage are commonly exudates, as the name implies, and are typically small, sterile, and have normal glucose (> mg/dl) and ph values (> 7.2). They will usually resolve with appropriate antibiotic treatment. Stage 1 effusions may not show pleural thickening on CT. As indicated above, about 50% of exudative parapneumonic effusions will show pleural thickening; these are usually crescentic, without evidence of loculation. Stage 2 (Fibropurulent or Acute Empyema Stage) The term "empyema" is generally used when a pleural effusion is infected, although its true definition necessitates the presence of "pus" in the pleural space. Although most empyemas occur in association with pneumonia, approximately 10% are unassociated with obvious lung disease. The term "empyema" is synonymous with "fibropurulent parapneumonic effusion". The fibropurulent stage of a parapneumonic effusion is characterized by the presence of organisms in the pleural fluid, increased effusion, increased WBC and PMN in the fluid, fibrin deposition along the pleural surfaces, a tendency for loculation, decreased glucose and ph levels, and increased LDH (>1000 IU/L). In a patient who has a pneumonia, the presence of a localized or loculated pleural effusion strongly suggests the presence of an empyema. On plain radiographs, empyemas or loculated fluid collections will often have a somewhat lenticular configuration, appearing much larger in one dimension (i.e. as seen on the PA radiography) than the other (i.e. on the lateral radiography). Furthermore, because the collection may have a obtuse angles at the point it contacts the chest wall, it may appear much more sharply defined in oneprojection than the other. In the presence of a bronchopleural fistula (BPF), an empyema cavity can contain air. Gas within an empyema is presumptive evidence of a BPF, although the presence of agas-forming organism is occasionally associated with this finding. With conventional radiographic techniques, an empyema contain ing air may be difficult or impossible to differentiate from a peripheral lung abscess abutting the chest wall. This distinction can be an important 83
3 one to make because empyemas are often treated by tube thoracostomy in addition to systemic antibiotics, whereas most lung abscesses require antibiotics only. On CT, empyemas typically have a regular shape and are round, elliptical, or lenticular in cross section, although crescentic collections can also be seen; 910 they tend to be sharply demarcated from the adjacent lung. Parietal pleural thickening is almost always seen on CT, while visceral pleural enhancement is somewhat less common. With contrast infusion, a "split-pleura" sign is commonly visible, with the enhancing visceral and parietal pleural surfaces split apart by the fluid collection, but this sign need not be present The pleural layers usually appear smooth and of uniform thickness. 7 Lung abscesses tend to be rounded in shape, ill-defined, and have walls of irregular thickness. Empyemas also compress and displace lung and vessels, acting like a space-occupying mass, while lung abscesses usually destroy lung without displacing it. In some patients with lung abscess and an air-containing empyema indicating the presence of a bronchopleural fistula, the site of the BPF can be demonstrated on CT. Absence or interruption of the enhancing visceral pleura adjacent to an air-filled abscess cavity (the "interrupted pleura sign") implies that this is the site of perforation. It should be noted, however, that an interrupted pleura does not always indicate the presence of a bronchopleural fistula. In patients with uninfected parapneumonic effusion or empyema, it is common (60-80 % of cases) to see extrapleural fat thickening when parietal pleural thickening is present. Increased attenuation of extrapleural fat representing edema is less common (30% of cases). 7 Several pulmonary infections can involve the chest wall by direct extension ("empyema necessitatis"). Tuberculosis accounts for about 70% of cases of empyema necessitatis, but other organisms such as actinomycosis, nocardiosis, and other bacteria can be responsible. In this setting, extensive extrapleural fat thickening, edema, and subcutaneous collections can be seen on CT." As tube thoracostomy is commonly used to treat empyema, it is important to consider the indications for tube placement in patients with a fibropurulent effusion. These will vary depending on the clinician involved and the clinical setting, but Light suggests the following criteria: 1) thick pus present on thoracentesis, 2) positive gram stain, 3) ph < 7.0, 4) glucose < 40 mg/dl. Although pleural thickening seen on CT is common in an acute empyema, this does not constitute a "pleural peel", and surgery is rarely required. Follow tube drainage, the pleural thickening usually resolves within a period of days or weeks, 12 although focal pleural abnormalities can remain. Tube thoracostomy is generally avoided in patients with a tuberculous empyema. Stage 3 (Organization Stage) In patients with chronic empyema, especially empyema which is tuberculous in origin, organization of the empyema, with ingrowth of fibroblasts, can result in extensive pleural fibrosis and the development of an inelastic fibrotic "pleural peel". This can cause lung restriction and decreased lung volume ("trapped lung"). On CT, a thickened layer of extrapleural fat is frequently visible, separating the thickened parietal pleura from the intercostal muscle or rib. Calcification, which usually is focal in its early stages, may become extensive. 13 Dense pleural thickening, even with calcification, does not indicate that the pleural disease is inactive. Loculated fluid collections resulting from active infection may be seen on CT within the thickened pleura [14]. Similar pleural thickening can be the result of chronic or prior infection, chronic inflammatory disease, hemothorax occurring because of trauma, neoplasm, or radiation. Except in patients with neoplasm, calcification can occur. Pleural Neoplasms CT findings which are most helpful in distinguishing malignant and benign pleural diseases include 1) circumferential pleural thickening, 2) nodular pleural thickening, 3) parietal pleural thickening greater than 1 cm, and 4) mediastinal pleural involvement. 15 The specificities of these findings for diagnosing malignant pleural disease were determined to be 100%, 94%, 94%, and 88% respectively, while their sensitivities were 41%, 51%, 36%, and 56%. 15 If one or more of these findings are considered to indicate malignancy, overall diagnostic accuracy is about 75%. Malignant (Diffuse) Mesothelioma Diffuse mesothelioma is a highly malignant, progressive neoplasm with an extremely poor prognosis. 16 In most patients', malignant mesothelioma is related to asbestos exposure, and although it is rare in the general population, the incidence in asbestos workers 84
4 is up to 5%. It is characterized morphologically by gross and nodular pleural thickening, which can involve the fissures. Hemorrhagic pleural effusion often occurs. Malignant mesothelioma spreads most commonly by local infiltration of the pleura. CT is very helpful in diagnosis, and the frequency of various CT findings have been described." Pleural thickening is common (90%), and is often irregular or nodular in contour-, focal pleural masses can sometimes be seen. Pleural fluid collections are visible on CT in 75%. Fluid can be difficult to distinguish from tumor, even on CT, since tumor nodules can sometimes appear low in density. However, CT scans with the patient prone or decubitus can help to distinguish underlying tumor from free fluid. Also, enhancement of the pleura after contrast infusion can also help differentiate tumor from adjacent fluid collections on CT Although pleural mesothelioma is visible most frequently along the lateral chest wall, mediastinal pleural thickening or concentric pleural thickening is seen withextensivedisease. The abnormal hemithorax can appear contracted and fixed (40%), with little change in size during inspiration. Thickening of the fissures, particularly the lower part of the major fissures, can reflect tumor infiltration of the fissures or associated pleural effusion; involvement of the fissures is seen on CT in 85 %. Malignant mesothel ioma typically spreads by local invasion, involving the mediastinum and sometimes the chest wall (15%), but hematogenous pulmonary metastases, and distant metastases do occur. Metastases Pleural metastases usually result in pleural effusion without visible pleura thickening. However, pleural metastases can result in nodular pleural thickening or masses visible on CT. In some patients with pleural metastases, particularly those with a malignant thymoma, can show pleural metastases unassociated with effusion. Metastatic adenocarcinoma can infiltrate the pleura and may be indistinguishable from malignant mesothelioma. 11 In a patient with bronchogenic carcinoma, pleural effusion can occur for a variety of reasons, including obstructive pneumonia, and lymphatic or pulmonary venous obstruction by tumor. Only those patients with demonstration of tumor cells in the pleural fluid are considered unresectable. Pleural effusions are found in 15% of patients with Hodgkin's disease, and usually reflect lymphatic or venous destruction rather than pleural involvement, because they tend to resolve following local mediastinal or hilar radiation. Pericardial effusions, on the other hand, present in 5%, usually indicate direct involvement of the pericardium. Local Fibrous Tumor of the Pleura (Benign Mesothelioma) Local ized fibrous tumor of the pleura is the new name of an uncommon tumor, formerly known as benign mesothelioma. This lesion is usually detected incidentally on chest radiographs. However, it can be associate with hypoglycemia and hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy. It usually arises from the visceral pleura and therefore can be within a fissure, but more commonly involves the costal pleural surface. They appear as solitary, smooth, sharply defined, often large lesions, contacting a pleural surface. On CT, necrosis can result in a multicystic appearance with or without contrast infusion. Although it is generally believed that pleural abnormalities resultin obtuse angles at the point of contact of the lesion and chest wall, benign mesothelionas typically show acute angles with slightly tapered pleural thickening adjacent to the mass. 21 This thickening may reflect a small amount of fluid accumulating in the pleural space at the point where the visceral and parietal pleural surfaces are separated by the mass. A similar "beak" or "thorn" sign is often visible on plain radiographs in patients with a benign fissural meshotheolioma. References 1. Im JG, Webb WR, Rosen A, Gamsu G.

In many cases those pushing for a new ERP system are comparing the worst of the current environment to an idealistic ERP concept that is all things to all people.
Sometimes the best way to avoid a train wreck is not to get on the train. In other words, do you really need a new ERP system and, if so, is now the right time to proceed? Performing an honest and thorough assessment of business needs and alternatives is an important part of taking ownership in the ERP business case, the decision not to do ERP or any alternative solutions.
It is understandable this question is not always popular among the ERP zealots; but for the organization, it is a very necessary discussion. There is an old saying that certainly applies: "when you have a hammer in your hand everything can look like a nail". That is, believe it or not every organization does not need a new ERP system.
The problem is when the ERP bandwagon starts to roll and no one in management is asking the right questions, those with legitimate business concerns get steam rolled. It is often not even a fair debate. After all, in many cases those pushing for a new system tend to compare the very worst of the current environment to an idealistic ERP concept that at this stage is all things to all people. Make no mistake; there are plenty of good reasons to implement ERP including many "no brainers". However, in most organizations the decision is not so obvious and one must objectively evaluate the validity of the proposed business case, timing and not shoot the messengers that raise the red flag.
Therefore, an executive running a business in the real world must ask the following questions before spending millions of dollars on ERP. Again, the intention is not necessarily to rain on your ERP parade; but perhaps bring some sanity to the decision-making process.
1. Are the business strategies and assumptions that drive the perceived need for a new ERP system valid?
2. Would an ERP project be one of the top two priorities within the organization (given other internal and external projects, initiatives, or probable events)?
3. What is really broken, the current software or our business processes? (Don't attempt to automated the mess you already have!)
4. Has the organization attempted to fix the things it can without new software? (The point is bad policies, procedures, work flows, controls, cultural issues and measurement systems typically have little or nothing to do with software, but a lot to do with poor business performance).
5. Will the availability of "better information" actually result in better decision-making or make lousy managers more effective?
6. Does anyone understand the data or capabilities of the current software (that are not utilized)?
7. Is the promise of "new technology" always a good reason to throw out application software?
8. Do we have bad software or just bad data (garbage in, garbage out)?
9. Is everything about the current software terrible (or are there areas where a major step backward is inevitable with new software)?
10. Can a few customizations or enhancements to the current software satisfy 80% of the important needs for a fraction of the time and cost? (I know mods are a no no but sometimes they make perfect business sense).
11. Can a few purchased (and integrated) "bolt-on" applications do the trick vs. buying an entirely new package (that likely has a few bolt-ons of its own under the covers)?
12. Is the current software really on the brink of "not supported" by any vendor(after all, they have been saying this for years) and, if so, what are the other support options?
13. Before spending a fortune on software to implement a new operating philosophy or paradigm, should we first "prove out" the idea with a limited pilot? (even when a few software work-arounds are necessary to complete the pilot).
14. Are the perceived operational benefits and cost savings of new software real or fluff? (The history of ERP states they might be fluff)
15. Have we considered ALL the implementation and support cost in the ROI? (Many are not so obvious).

From the Yamaha press department – touches on issues such as how alike the two factory bikes are and when he expects to address the looming issue of contract talks with both Fiat Yamaha riders.
Lin Jarvis gets suited-up and tells it how it is:
Q. Last year Yamaha won everything! Can you see it being as successful this season?
Lin Jarvis: 2009 was probably the most successful season for Yamaha in racing for many years. We won not only in MotoGP but also in other disciplines such as Superbike, Supersport and Motocross. To be honest, it will be difficult to equal that this year because due to the economic conditions we have had to cut back in some disciplines but in MotoGP I think we have very good chances to do very similar if not the same results as in 2009.
Q. Yamaha, like other multinational manufacturing corporations, had a bad business year in 2009. How does Yamaha justify continuing to run a MotoGP team in the current climate?
LJ: 2009 was a very difficult year for many companies around the world and Yamaha was not able to escape that situation. Business is tough but of course we have to go on and we have to plan to recover the business and, in this sense, MotoGP would be very useful because MotoGP for Yamaha is the one single global activity for brand image promotion, so I think to be successful in MotoGP would be a very important, flag-waving activity for recovering the business.
Q. Has the global recession made it harder to find sponsors, even for a successful team?
LJ: I think there is no doubt that that's the case. There are many companies that have had a very difficult year and that means it is very difficult to find and to justify advertising budget. We are very fortunate that we have managed to retain all of our existing sponsors, all of our sponsors from 2009 have stayed with us and even some new ones have joined. So we are fortunate, but there is no doubt that it is tough.
Q. Can you tell us about the 2010 sponsors' line-up of the Fiat Yamaha Team?
LJ: We are fortunate to keep all of our main sponsors from the 2009 season, obviously our Title Sponsor Fiat being the most important. We also have Petronas on board, we have Packard Bell and we also have Yamalube again with us. There are some new sponsors: we have also Yamaha Indonesia, who have joined us as an additional sponsor, to promote their marketing in Indonesia, the most important market of the world for Yamaha. Iveco has joined us and also all of our technical sponsors have stayed with us. So we have a very good, a very strong sponsor pool.
Q. The Fiat Yamaha Team has some new staff members, especially within Jorge's crew. Can you introduce them?
LJ: We have two new members for this season in Jorge's crew. There is Wilco Zeelenberg, who is the new team manager. Wilco has been with Yamaha for many years, an ex GP racer and Supersport racer as well. Last year he was managing the successful world championship winning team in the Supersport class. Wilco will also be joined by Davide Marelli, who is the new data analyst for Jorge's crew. We think we have a very strong crew on Jorge's side and also we have the very strong world champion crew on Valentino's side, where everybody stays with us.
Q. Is Yamaha still supportive of the current new engine rules or would you like to see them changed in some way?
LJ: These new engine rules have been introduced after much discussion between the MSMA and Dorna. At this moment of course Yamaha as an MSMA members supports those rules. It will be interesting to see how this season goes because with only six engines you have to run the whole season and you would require tactics not only for the rider, not only for the team but also especially for the engine management way, how to run the season with six engines. Of course we have to see how it goes, we have to see whether adjustments would be needed or not for the future. In 2012 they are planning to change the capacity and that will also bring a new set of rules.
Q. Will Yamaha be supplying the same package to all of its riders this year?
LJ: We have four riders in our programme this year, two in the Fiat Yamaha Team and two in the Tech3 Team. The bikes fundamentally are the same, or very similar. The performance capacity is almost identical, but as it is normal, the factory team will always get the latest developments and the latest evolutions. The bikes will not be identical, but they will be extremely close in their performance.
Q. How do you plan to manage the competition within Yamaha this season – with Valentino and Jorge, but also Ben Spies?
LJ: It should be very interesting, the same as last year was interesting. The battle between the team-mates Jorge and Vale last year was one of the fascinations of MotoGP. I think it will be very similar in 2010. Obviously they will start the season straight away at the first race, knowing that they are two of the main candidates for the title. I believe weLJ: will manage it by the maturity of the riders. Luckily we have two very intelligent, mature riders, very professional and I believe that they will handle the situation as well as they did in 2009. With regards to Ben coming onboard, I think Ben will be in the top group, but I expect the top four will be one step ahead. I feel more the competition from Pedrosa or Stoner.
Q. What are you expecting from rookie Ben Spies in 2010?
LJ: Ben has a learning year ahead of him. I think he is ready to enter into this class, but being ready and being ready to win are two different things. Ben will have one year to learn everything about the MotoGP world, there will be no pressure on him, certainly not from Yamaha's side. I think we will see some exciting races, there is no doubt that he has the capacity to fight even for the podium, but basically step-by-step a learning year.
Q. How much of a plan is in place for him – could you envisage him moving to the factory team at the end of this season?
LJ: Ben has a two-year contract with Yamaha, so eventually in the 2012 season it is not yet determined in which team or programme he will be in. Let's see, because this year the main issues in this sport will be the contractual negotiations for all of the four top riders because both Vale and Jorge's contracts expire at the end of 2010 and it is the same for Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa. So nobody knows what will happen exactly in 2011. Our ideal vision at the moment would be to retain Vale and Jorge in the factory team and obviously Ben in the Tech3 Team.
Q. Last year Valentino said that he didn't see him and Lorenzo remaining in the same team beyond next year. Can you make any comments about Yamaha's plans for the future with regards to this?
LJ: I just heard this from other sources; I have never heard this directly from Valentino. It is really difficult to say, but I think the negotiation will probably take place in the first half of 2010. Let's see and depending on results and on riders' desire we will see at the end of 2010.
Q. How much to the future do you look? Will you be talent scouting young riders this year with a view to recruiting them in the future?
LJ: Sometimes we look to the future, as well as we did with Jorge Lorenzo: we took him very early and we signed the contract, having him with Yamaha when he was 21. At this moment we have four very talented riders in Yamaha, in fact we have three of the top five of the last season with us and with Ben joining we have four great riders. Two of them are in their thirties, with Colin being 36 and Vale becoming 31. Then we have Ben who will become 26 this year and Jorge 23. At this moment there is no urgent need to look for younger talents but of course we always keep our eye out to see if there are any hot riders coming out from Moto2 class or Superbike class.

One of the main goals of CorneliusCamp.com is to allow real estate agents to connect with each other, network, and learn from other people's success stories. In today's interview, I am excited to be interviewing Kevin J. Rocio.
Interview With Kevin "K-Roc" Rocio
1. Please tell us about yourself and how you got into real estate as a career?
I was one of the Top Mortgage Broker in Chicago from 1992 – 2008. During that time, I worked with a lot of awesome Residential Brokers. When I decided that I wanted to stay involved in Real Estate, I didn't feel that I had much value to add to the residential side, but saw a gap in the market place between the residential and commercial real estate markets and set out to bridge that gap.
2. What do you like the most about your brokerage?
Prior to joining the @properties family, I would ALWAYS refer new agents to the firm and still do to this day. There simply is no better platform that can take a new 'full-time' agent from $0 – $100k/annually!
3. How do you use social media to leverage your business?
ROC Realty Group is more of a brand than anything else and in this digital age, using social media in order to bring awareness is dire to success.
4. What is your greatest avenue for lead generation?
Residential Real Estate Brokers, both internally from @ and externally from other companies. When residential agents ask their client's, "Do you have any commercial real estate needs?" and their answer is "yes" ROC Realty is there to help!
In converse, my team always ask our clients "Do you have any residential real estate needs," and promptly refer them to residential brokers that send us leads.
There is a referral fee when the transaction closes successfully.
It's a symbiotic relationship of sorts.
5. What tips can you recommend for buyers and sellers?
Buyer's please have your finances and legal team selected prior to looking for properties! That way, once you've found the right property, you can act quickly and position yourself as a stronger buyer than the person who submits a higher offer and has not yet spoken to a lender!
Sellers, make sure you have spoken with your existing lender & attorney about your next move prior to putting your property on the market. Then, be sure to communicate this information to your Real Estate Broker.
6. How much is a good percentage to use on advertising?
$0. Let me repeat $0. You should create a marketing campaign that evolves as your business does. I allocate 10% of my gross earnings to my Annual Marketing Campaign.
7. Can you give us three tools, services, or apps that are pivotal to your business?
I won't bore you with the commercial tools but Point Drive, Drop Box, DocuSign, Magisto & Slydial are awesome tools and apps that I used daily.
8. Who is someone that you consider a mentor in real estate and why?
I don't have a mentor per se but the three people I admire the most in this industry are Thad Wong, Deena Zimmerman & Matt Laricy.
9. What advice would you give to someone that is just getting started in real estate?
If you are brand new to the industry or have no real-world business experience, it is critical to your success to join an established team. The team platform will allow you to learn invaluable lessons and put you on the fast-track to growing a successful business.
If you do decide to go it alone, project out five years and visualize what your business will look like, create a business plan that breaks it down to daily task and keep yourself educated. Ninja Installation Training will be the greatest investment you will make in your business. (no, I'm not a paid spokesman, just a student)
10. What is next for you? What can we expect in 2018?
God willing, you will see me on the training circuit for Agents while growing the ROC Realty Group Team.
11. How can readers of my blog get in touch with you? For example, blog, social media handles, email, etc.

The San Francisco 49ers enter the divisional round of the playoffs coming off a 23-20 win over the Green Bay Packers that has some pundits calling them the hottest team in the NFL. That's news to the Carolina Panthers, who have won 11 of their past 12 games, with their only loss on the road to playoff-bound New Orleans Saints. The Panthers have also beaten the Saints in that stretch, along with victories over other playoff teams such as the Patriots and, yes, the 49ers.
Carolina dominated Colin Kaepernick in Week 10, limiting him to 11-of-22 passing for only 91 yards, with a half-dozen sacks. That performance was no fluke. Carolina's defense has been one of the best in football all year, and its specific strengths and tendencies seem designed to exploit the cracks in San Francisco's offense.

All the experts tell us that the most important thing about a pension is to start saving early. But the reality is that many people, for plenty of good reasons, simply cannot save for retirement in their early working years. So what can they do to improve their prospects as retirement draws closer?
Start Where You Are
OK, so you didn't start saving for a pension in your 20s. It is no good just bemoaning that omission. Now is the time to do what you can, not to worry about what you cannot change.
Start by having a good hard look at your finances today. Analyze your income and expenditure and work out where the money is going. Look for every way to divert money from unnecessary spending into retirement saving. There may still be more urgent priorities, like paying off credit card debts, but even a small amount put into a pension fund will get you going in the right direction.
Maximize Your Savings
Pension saving is a special category of finance, due to extra help that you can get from both government and employer.
If you pay into a 401(k) scheme through your company payroll, that money goes into your pension pot free of tax. Moreover, your employer may well make a matching contribution. There will be a limit on the amount of matching contribution the employer will make, and there is a limit on the total amount that can be put into a scheme in any one year, although over-50s can contribute an extra "top-up" amount.
It is well worth your while finding out exactly how much your employer will contribute, and take as much advantage as you can.
Instead of, or as well as, a 401(k) scheme, you might consider putting your money into an Individual Retirement Arrangement. These are not managed by an employer, so there is no matching contribution, but they are transferable between jobs and often have lower charges.
Using Your Home
If you own your own house, this is a good source of potential to help with your retirement. One option would be to downsize and to release some of the equity that you have. This can help you with your expenses (although it would be a finite resource) or be invested into a means to increase your income. Try to keep track of the equity that you have as you approach retirement.
Property can also generate income, for instance by taking in rent-paying boarders or running a small bed-and-breakfast business.
Saving on Your Car
As well as earning in retirement, you can make a hobby out of saving money. The costs of running a car are often underestimated by those who are used to a company car. A good way to build a rewarding hobby that will also save money is by learning how to maintain and repair your own car. Good manuals are available for all makes of cars; for instance, fans of Swedish technology who get hold of a Volvo service repair manual can do a surprising amount of their own work.
Continue Earning
Retirement is not necessarily a time to stop earning money altogether, but an opportunity for a new way to earn. If your retirement fund is not likely to keep you in the style you wish, now may be a good time to start preparing for a different work pattern—one in which you can be in control of your time.
Look at your hobbies, and consider if any of them can be turned into productive work. Artists, musicians, and writers may well be able to find work through the internet; people with experience in home maintenance will always be in demand; builders of toys may find a ready market locally.
Now is a good time to build your skills to a marketable level, and to plan the contacts you will need when the time comes.
Alternatively, if you have professional qualifications, you may find that you are in demand to work occasionally or part-time into retirement. Know whom you should inform of your availability—while you are still in the loop.
A New Start
Retirement is not the end of a working life, but a new phase. For a lucky few, that will mean a life completely relieved of the necessity to earn a living, but for many others, it is an opportunity to change gear, and to be productive in a new way. Maximizing your pension pot is a good start, but it is not the end of retirement planning.

Compersion... am I the only one who dislikes the word?

I dislike (slightly) compersion as a catch-phrase turned into a 'must-do'.
I kinda always wondered why you 'need' compersion, if you have respect for your partner in the first place ?
I can respect my partners' need to be out and enjoying himself away from me, without throwing them a good-bye party everytime he goes.
I also have those moments where I am happy for him and his. I liken it much to that feeling when you hear anyone has good news. Getting married, having a baby, etc.
Understanding the need for the descriptor 'compersion' is quite fine by me. It means a very specific type of happiness. I get it. That does not bug me.
However the fact it is sometimes turned into some 'must-do' that everyone should strive for, reeks of that other cult-like persuasion ( meaning devotion in extremes, to a 'ideal' poly).... that can come from a small percentage of people that like to try and overrule all.

WTS Educate, a new ongoing series of educational pieces by WTS International.
I always said I'd be a great golfer if I could have three mulligans every time I hit a shot. Instead, I only get one shot and usually it's not as good as I'd like for it to be. Membership sales is very similar in that if you have enough chances to sell a membership, your odds increase significantly.
Here are some tips for improving your membership sales:
The more people that are excited, aware and interested in your club, the more sales you will produce. It requires rigor and execution. To be consistently successful, you have to have a continuous stream of prospects lined up at the door interested in joining.

Every family needs a go to camera these days. There was a time that you would grab a Polaroid on special occasions, a photo is printed on the spot and put in an album. They were used very conservative because of cost, and the challenge of actually storing the end product.
With the advent of the digital age, not only are cameras everywhere, but we keep thousands of photos.
We use them a lot more too thanks to social media. Most of what we do is attached to a picture in some way.
Here we will cover some camera options that will not only give you the professional quality you are searching for, but also wont break the bank!
What are you looking for?
When you are ready to move past the camera phone phase in your photography, you may think about buying an inexpensive non-DSLR digital. They are great, but it really wont offer much more than an Iphone with a high megapixel. You will buy one, use it for a very short amount of time, and realize that you should have bought a DSLR to start with and not wasted the money on an entry digital, which in most cases cost as much as middle tier DSLR's.
In today's cameras several features are sought after. Portability, add-on product availability, durability, and value, just to name a few things one might be looking for when comparing options.
Size and the ability to carry is very important for those family trips and hikes. Finding the right add-ons that you may want in the future to customize your gear will reduce the need to purchase cameras as replacements.
Durability is huge when dealing with expensive electronics. We have all said the phrase, "I turned my back for two seconds….!" And we know how that story turns out!
But the very most important feature to most parents is value. Parenting is a huge responsibility and it often means saving money where you can so that you don't have to spend more time chasing it to pay bills. We want a great product at a price that is reasonable and we don't have to replace it for a good amount of time.
You have to decide what is most important to you, but hopefully we can find some fantastic options that cover everything well, and still make the budget happy.
Lens Options
Another key feature to look for is lens options. If you want to take portraits of your family, you will want a prime lens since zoom lens are not quite as sharp.
The zoom offers more versatility, but a good prime is a must have in your bag for family and still shots. The great things about lens options is you can save a few bucks grabbing the off brand options for your mounting system. Especially if you will use it sparingly.
A prime lens will have a fixed focal length, like 50mm. Where the zoom lens will have a range of focal length. Prime lenses will often times be cheaper than their zoom counterparts, and offer you a chance to learn a bit more by actually having to zoom by movement instead of operating the lens. They will likely also offer a wider aperture as well (that's what gives you that sharp separation between objects and better low light photos)
The versatility of the zoom lens is obvious. Zooming without moving is an amazing feature. They are also very portable in that you can carry one to run several focal points. While not having the wider aperture of primes, for being out in nature, and events, zoom lens are a great option.
Most kits cameras come with at least one zoom lens options, and I would recommend picking up one prime lens to start with in the 35mm – 50mm range.

Add on's
Like we have previously discussed a few add on's will get you a complete set. But the cool thing about these camera packages is they come with a starter zoom lens to get you going. You can pick up a prime lens now, or grab one in the future. Just make sure it is for your brand of camera. The mounts are different from brand to brand, with few sharing styles, especially among the major brands.
You will want to grab a memory card to store lots of photos for those fun vacations, and a bag to carry your gear. I usually recommend to get too much bag, especially if you will not be trekking through the woods. That way you have room for expansion later on when you get some add on's here and there.
A tripod is a must for family photos and even some vaca stuff, but a lot of that will be from the hand.
If you are looking for a great little e-book to help you with customizing photos to look amazing, check this one out. Here is a few examples of some of the cool tricks:
There are many great options for cameras in many different brands, but these are just a few options that will give you superior performance without killing your budget. As parents, that budget is pretty important. We have our kids doing all kinds of stuff in social clubs, sports, dance, and other extra curricular activities. We want to be able to capture these memories without having to spend a month paying for it at work missing MORE memories!
So take advantage some some of these deals and capture those moments, while working to build others!

RUNWAY: Lanvin SS15Lanvin's rock-sensibility is a big reason why they're the go-to label when rock and hip hop stars want something cool to wear on the red carpet. Lucas Ossendrijver, with the direction of Alber Elbaz, delivered a taut and rocking collection for SS15 that included satin tailoring, leather, and a nonchalant and hip attitude that looked effortless. Tailoring was slim, even on the waif sized models, even with a few loungey cut pants. Nevertheless, this succinct collection is sure to get tongues wagging.

Sea View Hospital Launches Music & Memory Program
NYC Health + Hospitals/ Sea View launched a pilot Music & Memory program, bringing iPods loaded with personalized music selections to patients with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.STORY
The Fund for NYC Health + Hospitals - the hospital system's philanthropic arm - supports programs that help achieve NYC Health + Hospitals' mission to provide healthcare for all regardless of income, insurance, or immigration status.
At NYC Health + Hospitals , no one is turned away.
It is often said, and it's true: At NYC Health + Hospitals, no one is turned away. In our hospitals, diagnostic and treatment centers, and long-term care facilities, physicians, nurses, and staff are dedicated to providing high-quality, safe care and to upholding the noble mission of public healthcare.
Whether it's helping individuals with hypertension lower their blood pressure, a mentoring program to provide positive alternatives for youth at risk for gun violence, or a visual representation for non-English speaking residents of how to give children their medications, NYC Health + Hospitals staff are continuously striving to make innovative and compassionate improvements even at a time when we struggle with significant financial constraints that may not be fully addressed by federal funding or healthcare reform.
Your support will make it possible for us to support programs that respond to pressing community needs, and to evaluate successful pilot projects so they can be scaled up and spread across the city. It is this kind of support that allows NYC Health + Hospitals to continue its dedication to our 1.2 million patients and the health of our city.

text: There are many different types of trade shows, but those for hobbyists attract a wide range of people. Hobbies are a personal pursuit and people from very different walks of life may share the same hobbies. A doctor, a mechanic and a nurse may all love to collect military memorabilia. Their reasons may be quite different, but their passion is the same. Each of these people will elect to attend a military memorabilia trade show when they have the time and opportunity. Some of them will meet and get to know each other only through their hobby. They may have nothing else in common, or a great deal, and this is why trade shows of this nature persist.
