A new assisted living and memory care quality database by Formation Healthcare Group and Vision LTC has completed beta testing and has been launched publicly to a limited number of organizations, the companies have announced. Attendees of this week's National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care Spring Investment Forum will have the opportunity to view it firsthand. (Read how below.)
The survey and regulatory analytics platform, called CarePrepare, has the goal of making it easier for assisted living and memory care operators and capital providers to search for and compare communities from across the country.
"Assisted Living is regulated differently in each state, making a consolidated quality database a much‐needed resource in the market to understand, analyze and compare assisted living properties," Jessica Curtis, vice president of clinical systems and analytics at Formation Healthcare Group, said in a statement.
"We are taking critical performance data that has long been locked up in state regulatory databases and democratizing access and translating complex survey results into standardized, easy‐to‐understand measures," Vision LTC CEO Arick Morton added.
"CarePrepare is fully functional, with 55% of the nation's population in the states available," Curtis and Trissie Farr, Formation Healthcare Group senior vice president, told McKnight's Senior Living in a follow-up email. "We are continuing to add advanced functionality and more states' data as we work with our Founder's Circle partners to shape the product roadmap." Founder's Circle members are the 15 operators, lenders and product vendors to which the proprietary product has been released.
Formation Healthcare Group, a subsidiary of Formation Capital, and Vision LTC first publicly announced a beta version of the database in September.
"The feedback that we received from our early testing was that industry organizations want to leverage the CarePrepare platform for managing owned assets, benchmarking operational performance, evaluating acquisition and development opportunities, evaluating staff performance and demonstrating care quality to prospective residents and referral sources," Farr and Curtis said. "Based on those learnings, we've added a number of features that enhance the user's ability to leverage the CarePrepare platform for these uses, including new group/portfolio reports and benchmarking capabilities."
Ultimately in 2018, CarePrepare will include aggregated regulatory outcomes and consumer rating data for 80% of the U.S. population, they said. "We have numerous ongoing development initiatives to provide further functionality on our roadmap, such as advanced citation data-mining and reporting, facility risk ratings and referral source and prospect marketing collateral," Farr and Curtis said.
Farr will be demonstrating the database at the NIC meeting as time allows. Those interested may contact her at email@example.com. Those interested in the platform also may visit careprepare.com for more information.
The companies said they plan to begin working with organizations beyond the Founder's Circle soon.

Arnold Whitman, Founder and Chairman of Formation Capital
Meet Arnold Whitman, founder and chairman of Atlanta-based Formation Capital. Whitman founded the company in 1999 after a "tsunami" of negative events, including the credit crisis of 1998, a change in the prospective payment system and a host of liability issues. Having spent 15 years in the senior housing business at that time, Whitman decided to shift his approach from debt to equity. With more than $6 billion in transactions to date, he hasn't looked back.
Today, Formation Capital is an active senior housing investor and "Arnie" has personally made a name for himself in the industry as Chairman Emeritus of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing and Care (NIC), as co-chairman of Genesis Healthcare, as a partner to Aging2.0 and more. We sat down with Arnie to hear his definition of leadership, how a big risk can pay off and why senior housing provides a unique upside not found in other industries.
Take me back to the early days of Formation. What did your first investment look like?
We had a nice business plan and were very fortunate in that we secured our first transaction in Florida by acquiring (or trying to acquire) 53 facilities from Beverly Enterprises. It was 49 skilled nursing and four assisted living buildings for $165 million in July 2001. My partner and I put down all of the money that we had, literally.
We did that because we had debt and equity lined up alongside us, and said 'OK, we're ready to go, we're going to make our first big investment.'
Florida was under huge pressure from all of the trial lawyers that were suing for anything they could as far as liability went at the time. In Florida, under the patient rights bill, if you served cold food, you could be sued. It was a very negative environment and all of the public companies were trying to get out of the state at that time. We had gone to Beverly, made this deal, we had the deal under contract, and we were thinking, 'OK, we're going to be on the map.'
Then 9/11 comes.
Two weeks later we went to New York to see UBS and Black Acre (which was our equity partner), and both of them bailed.
Now, we had had firm contracts with them to finance us. They used what's called an MAC clause, [which address the possibility of a] material adverse change, to say 'We are no longer going to do this deal.' Everybody was, as you know, stunned.
The Trade Centers had come down, capital markets had crashed, everything was negative. So we were sitting there, everything we had on the table, and wondering, 'Are we going to survive? Are we going to get through this? And what's going to happen?' My partner Steve Fishman and I literally pounded the pavement in New York looking for a way to finance that deal. It was pure desperation.
It took us about three months. There were a lot of threats thrown at us from Beverly Enterprises. If you'd been there you would have just been stunned.

The Combined Company Will Trade on the NYSE With a New Ticker Symbol of GEN
Kennett Square, PA – February 2, 2015 - Genesis HealthCare, LLC, one of the nation's largest providers of skilled nursing and rehabilitation care, today announced that, effective February 2, 2015, it has completed its previously announced combination with Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (Skilled Healthcare) (NYSE: SKH). The newly combined company will operate under the name Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (Genesis). The combination adds the skilled nursing facilities, assisted and independent living centers, and hospice and home health agencies operated by Skilled Healthcare's subsidiaries, as well as Skilled Healthcare's Hallmark Rehabilitation business, to the Genesis family.
Under the terms of the agreement, Skilled Healthcare shareholders will collectively own 25.75% of the vote and value of the fully-diluted equity of the combined company. Shareholders who held interests in Genesis will own the other 74.25%. The combined company will be traded on the NYSE with a new ticker symbol of GEN. Headquarters for the combined company will remain in Kennett Square, PA, and George V. Hager, Jr. will be the Chief Executive Officer of the newly-combined company.
The company's post-combination Board of Directors consists of representative directors from both companies, as well as independent directors. We believe this creates a governance structure that will facilitate and help to build strategic value. The post-combination board members consist of: Steven Fishman, Chairman of the Board of Directors, co-founder of Formation Capital; Arnold Whitman, co-founder of Formation Capital; David Reis, Chief Executive Officer of Senior Care Development, LLC; George Hager, Chief Executive Officer of Genesis; Glenn S.

The combination of the two companies has created one of the largest post-acute care providers in the country, with more than 500 skilled nursing and assisted/senior living communities in 34 states. It has also expanded Genesis' rehabilitation therapy business, Genesis Rehab Services, to more than 1,800 service locations in 47 states and the District of Columbia. The new company will have nearly 95,000 employees and had combined annual revenue of approximately $5.5 billion on a trailing twelve month basis as of September 30, 2014.
"This is an exciting time for Genesis as we become a publicly-traded company and further expand the services we provide to patients and residents nationwide," stated Mr. George Hager. "We believe the opportunities of scale created by this combination better position Genesis to meet the challenges facing the post-acute industry and enhance the company's ability to successfully partner with payors and providers across the country."
Barclays and Bank of America Merrill Lynch served as Genesis' financial advisors, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Williams Mullen and Arnall Golden Gregory LLP acted as its legal advisors.

Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes About SleepQuotes about: Sleep
The minister asks, 'What right have you to hope? It is sacrilegious to you.' But, whether the clergy like it or not, I shall always express my real opinion, and shall always be glad to say to those who mourn: 'There is in death, as I believe, nothing worse than sleep. Hope for as much better as you can.'
Abraham Lincoln was, in my judgment, in many respects, the grandest man ever President of the United States. Upon his monument these words should be written: "Here sleeps the only man in the history of the world who, having been clothed with almost absolute power, never abused it, except upon the side of mercy."
He was a worshiper of liberty, a friend of the oppressed. A thousand times I have heard him quote these words: 'For Justice all place a temple, and all season, summer.' He believed that happiness is the only good, reason the only torch, justice the only worship, humanity the only religion, and love the only priest. He added to the sum of human joy; and were every one to whom he did some loving service to bring a blossom to his grave, he would sleep tonight beneath a wilderness of flowers. . . .

Our children's nonfiction collection has been worrying me for a while! The books were tightly packed, borrowed infrequently and there was no room for front-facing displays on the shelves. We use the Dewey Decimal classification system and as a result, not all books are where you'd expect them – and children and parents don't want to have to ask the library staff every time they're looking for something.
The first thing I did was have a drastic weed of the nonfiction and remove all the tatty or out of date books so each bay had one or two display shelves and the whole area looked more inviting. Then I created a new section called History Projects and filled it with all the relevant books from the main sequence. We had no money for shelf dividers so I covered some withdrawn adult fiction hardbacks with black paper and stuck laminated labels on their spines: Egyptians; Greek; Romans; Medieval and Castles; Tudors; Stuarts; Georgians; Victorians; World War One; World War Two. The books have coloured stickers on their spines for easy shelving, but are in Dewey order within each section.
Almost straight away I noticed more children borrowing the History Project books and we're shelving more children's nonfiction generally, so it all seems to be working. I think we need to move some of the other books as well and create more shelf dividers, although it's not always easy to choose the best way to split up the books. For a start, I think pets should be shelved with other animals and poetry and jokes should have their own sections nearer the fiction. We haven't altered any catalogue records so it will all be easy to change if we find something else works better. Some libraries arrange their books by curriculum area or by age but I think this is too restricting as there are too many cross-curricular books and I don't like the thought of children (or their parents) avoiding books that are considered too young for them.
Nonfiction is important for children as many (particularly boys) prefer it to fiction. It opens up wonderful facts to them and helps their reading, writing and academic conversation skills. At a time when many bookshops have cut back on their children's nonfiction (now often dominated by character or tv-based books) and many schools have lost their libraries, it's even more important that public libraries provide children with books to excite and inform them.

Laws should state that the primary duties of police are to protect victims and potential victims and promote offender accountability by consistently enforcing laws and procedures so that all "honour" crimes and killings are investigated and addressed by the criminal justice system. To give effect to this goal, laws should authorize police, by judicial authorization where appropriate, to enter premises, conduct arrest of the primary aggressor(s), and confiscate weapons or dangerous substances in cases involving "honour". Laws should charge police to work in coordination on the response to "honour"-based violence with advocates, health care providers, criminal justice actors, including prosecutors, child protection services, local businesses, the media, employers, religious leaders, health care providers, clergy and organizations working with victims and immigrant communities. (See: Coordinated Community Response, Stop VAW, The Advocates for Human Rights) In countries where "honour" crimes tend to be more prevalent in certain immigrant communities, law enforcement should collaborate with community leaders and women's organizations in those communities to formulate an effective response to "honour" crimes.
Drafters should require the appropriate ministerial branch or department to consult with police, prosecutors, judges, and health and education professionals to develop regulations, guidelines and other protocols for implementation of laws on "honour" crimes within a specified timeframe of the law's' entry into force. (See: UN Handbook for Legislation on Violence against Women, Section 3.2.6) The promulgating body should consult and work closely with non-governmental organizations and victims' advocates. These policies should provide for a collaborative, coordinated response among the various relevant sectors. For example, in the Netherlands, police, prosecutors, and a women's shelter have developed a joint protocol for combating "honour" crimes. (See: Combating Honour Crimes in Europe: Manual for Policy Makers, Institutions, and Civil Society, SURGIR Foundation, 2011-2012, p.25) Overall, these policies should seek to mainstream the police response, so that all law enforcement uses the same trainings, educational materials and risk assessment model. Laws should require police protocols, regulations and guidelines to include the following minimum elements:
CASE STUDY: The UK Metropolitan Police uses the following definition for honour-based violence: "a crime or incident that has or may have been committed to protect or defend the honour of the family and/or community." The definition includes an explanation that states:
There is no honour in the commission of murder, rape, kidnap, and the many other acts, behaviour and conduct which make up 'violence in the name of socalled 'honour'.
The simplicity of the above definition is not intended in any way to minimize the levels of violence, harm and hurt caused by the perpetration of such acts.
It is a collection of practices, which are used to control behaviour within families to protect perceived cultural and religious beliefs and/or honour.
Such violence can occur when perpetrators perceive that a relative has shamed the family and/or community by breaking their honour code.
Women are predominantly (but not exclusively) the victims of 'so-called honour based violence', which is used to assert male power in order to control female autonomy and sexuality.
'So-called Honour Based Violence' can be distinguished from other forms of violence, as it is often committed with some degree of approval and/or collusion from family and / or community members.
(See: CPS Pilot on Forced Marriage and So-called 'Honour' Crime – Findings, Crown Prosecution Service, Annex B, 2008)
(See: UN Handbook, Section 3.8.1; Resolution Adopted by the General Assembly, Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Measures to Eliminate Violence against Women, U.N. Doc. A/Res/52/86, 1998; Text of the revised Model Strategies and Practical Measures on the Elimination of Violence against Women in the Field of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, Report of the Intergovernmental Expert Group Meeting to review and update the Model Strategies and Practical Measures on the Elimination of Violence against Women in the Field of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, Bangkok, 23 - 25 March 2009, Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, 2010)

I meant to review "Amateurs in Eden", Joanna Hodgkin's biography of her mother Nancy Meyers, when it was first published back in 2013 or thereabouts. But I couldn't quite get a handle on it, so the review languished half-written. Like many reviewers, my reaction was generally favourable but ultimately I couldn't quite see why we needed a whole book about someone whose greatest claims to fame were that she was married for a time to the author Lawrence Durrell, and Henry Miller liked one of her paintings (which, like practically everything else she ever painted, has since been destroyed). I recently had occasion to re-read the book though and I think I have a better sense of why it's more important than I thought at first. But before I get into that, a little background might not hurt.
I first read Lawrence Durrell's classic Alexandria Quartet back when I was somewhat younger and more impressionable than I am now. And was fascinated by it, like so many others ever since the four novels in the tetralogy were first published back in the late 50s & early 60s. Not everyone likes the books, mind you – the lush romanticism and highly wrought (shading into over-wrought) prose leave some readers cold. But for me it was a window onto a wider, far more exotic world, a much needed counterpoint to the rather safe, suburban, Canadian existence that was (and remains, thankfully) my day to day reality. For a time, I wanted to live in Durrell's Aexandria.
But since that world no longer existed (and in fact never existed outside of Durrell's imagination), I settled for the next best thing: reading as much as I could by and about Durrell and his life and times and the world (the real, historical one) that informed his writing. And as it turned out there was no shortage of material.
One of the conceits of Durrell's fictional world is that it is full of writers. There is the narrator of the first and last volumes, Darley, an aspiring novelist. And lurking in the background there is the older and more established novelist Pursewarden, offering up his cynical, world-weary aphorisms. There is also Balthazar, the titular character of the second novel who is by profession a doctor, but who writes a novel-length 'interlinear' commenting on and correcting the manuscript of the first book, Justine. And speaking of Justine, it turns out an earlier phase of her life was documented in another book by a writer named Arnauti, who never makes an on-stage appearance. And I think there are a couple more writers, like the poet John Keats (no, not that John Keats) but I've kind of lost track.
Anyhow, here's the thing: while it might seem a little strange to have so many writers circling around the same set of characters and events, describing and re-describing them in different ways, in fact this aspect of the Quartet has curious parallels with Durrell's own life. Or at least an early and significant part of it, specifically the time he spent with Nancy Meyers in Corfu and Paris in the latter half of the 1930s.
The first writer to chronicle the adventures of Lawrence and Nancy was probably Anais Nin in her copious diaries, but her version was one of the later ones to see print as the diaries didn't find a publisher until the mid-60s. In Nin's version, Nancy in notable only for her "eloquent silences." The first published account, in 1941, was Henry Miller's Colossus of Maroussi, describing Miller's trip to Greece shortly before the advent of WWII. Lawrence and Nancy have a couple of walk-on parts in that one. Next up was Durrell's own Prospero's Cell, a nostalgic and not strictly factual recollection of pre-war life on Corfu. Published in 1945 and written after Lawrence and Nancy had split up, she appears only as "N", painting "lazy pleasant paintings" (whatever those are), diving for cherries, and buying sailboats. And of course the least literary and by far the best known recounting was My Family and Other Animals, written by Lawrence's brother Gerald, first published in 1956. Gerald paints a wonderful comedic portrait of Lawrence as a pompous ass, while Nancy has been written out entirely. (According to Hodgkins, Gerald's version was by far Nancy's favourite.)
So in all these recountings of the Durrell mythology, when she appears at all Nancy is barely there, a ghostly figure, vaguely drawn. You could say this is because she's a supporting character, but in fact these books are full of memorable supporting characters, from the shy naturalist Theodore Stephanides to the jocular Spiros Americanos. So what's up with Nancy?
Hodgkin's biography sets out to answer that question, and in the process she writes Nancy back into the story. It's a sad story in many respects, and doesn't reflect well at all on Lawrence, who comes across as controlling, jealous, and just plain nasty, using his considerable force of personality to keep Nancy out of the limelight, away from his milieu of writers and artists. And this despite the fact she was blowing through a small inheritance bankrolling their whole bohemian idyll. I think ultimately that's where I'd locate the significance of Hodgkin's book: like Balthazar's interlinear, it corrects some basic misconceptions set forth in previous volumes, and opens up another dimension in an already multidimensional story. Nancy really deserves to have her say, even if it is a bit late in the game.
As a bit of an aside, I have to say I also enjoyed the descriptions of Nancy's art student life in the 1930s, in all its tawdry glamour and desperation. The forms of art may be in constant flux, but there's something oddly reassuring about the continuities of the art student existence down through the ages.

The most exciting news of the day comes from fellow publisher-editor Gary J. Svehla, who tells us that my MARIO BAVA ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK is featured in the current issue of PASTE, the music and pop culture magazine, on their list of the Best Books of 2007 -- right next to the new Harry Potter book! I don't know how it came to their attention, but I'm grateful.
The response to the Bava book in print is just beginning to get underway. MJ Simpson wrote an excellent review and author profile for the current issue of the British magazine DEATH RAY, and I know that feature articles and reviews are forthcoming in RUE MORGUE and FANGORIA. My fingers are already crossed for some kind of Bava book mention in THE NEW YORK TIMES' Best Books of 2007 issue -- even to receive mention as one of the Honorables would be wonderful.
On his MYRANT blog, Steve Bissette has announced that he recently finished reading "the truly massive, moving" Bava book and promises to write at length about the experience soon.
Also, all seven segments of Colin Reboy's interview with Donna and me -- the complete novel for television, as they used to say -- are now posted at the Studio Kaiju site.
And what of the reclusive fellow behind this blitzkrieg of publicity? I am presently running a VW gauntlet that's likely to keep me busy up till the last pre-holiday moment, which is why Video WatchBlog activity has been so irregular of late.
We've just completed work on VW #135 (one of our best, if I do say so myself); the principal features are my "DVD Spotlight" on PAN'S LABYRINTH and Mark F. Berry's fine interview with English actress Judi Bowker (CLASH OF THE TITANS, COUNT DRACULA), but fuller contents information will be posted on our website in the coming days. We are going right into VW #136, our GRINDHOUSE issue, which is pretty much complete and ready for editing and layout; and Donna is pressing for us to jump into VW #137 as soon as we finish the previous one. Of course, the first thing she's going to ask me when that time rolls around is "Where are your reviews for this issue?" -- but I've been working on two other issues of the magazine (including writing some emergency material for them), so when have I had time to watch movies, much less review any?
This sort of frenzied pace may suit Roger Corman, but it doesn't suit me. We've been doing this for seventeen years now; for once, I would like to take a more leisurely and receptive approach to the Christmas season. I want to send cards, telephone neglected friends, do some actual in-store shopping, and so forth -- but it doesn't seem too likely. It's just as well I find myself on a Ramones binge these days; I need the energy.
Today -- at my suggestion, actually (although this isn't going to sound like me) -- Donna and I decided to forego our usual Christmas gifts for one another and direct our holiday budget toward some needed home repairs and improvements. I guess that means we've finally grown up. We spent part of this evening in the home improvements department of a nearby Lowe's store, ogling things like storm doors, windows and floor lamps. You know, it's amazing what you can buy to dress up your home for the same amount of money I typically spend on Euro posters I look at once and file away...

Manila veteran book still underway
A book honoring Manila veterans is still underway. Donna Jackson, local historian, has been gathering information and pictures from veterans and family members of veterans to be compiled in the book.
Jackson knew the project would take some time and she appreciates the help she has received from Skip Evans, J.C. Green, Barbara Lasater, Shirley Peyton, and Garry Jolliff.
Lasater and Peyton are working creating a map with pictures of all of the headstones in the Manila cemetery. Many of the headstones have veteran stones.
"So many came home from war and really did not want to talk about it," Jackson said. "Time has passed and a lot of World War II veterans are ready to share their experiences."
Jackson prepared a questionnaire and veterans can give as much information as they want or just their names, what branch and when they served.
This is not something she is doing for profit; it is something she wants to do to preserve history and honor men and women who have served their country.
Jackson said it is not easy to get information. She has extensively researched all of the census, draft registers, casualty records and much more.
"There are thousands of names and just because they registered for the military does not necessarily mean they served," she said.
She has found some very interesting information through her research. She found a Lt. Ivan Brown from Manila who was lost at sea in 1943 listed in some of the archives.
"I have always been interested in the men and women who served in the military," she said. "I was watching war movies because I wanted to learn more of the history of the different battles."
She also found a book, The Devil's Tale, written by Zig Boroughs about the World World II Division he served in and the battles. In the book he mentioned Donald Veach who was part of the division. Jackson got online and found a book and purchased it.
"This is our local history, our local people and I was so glad to be able to purchase the book," Jackson said.
Jackson's heart is in the Veterans' book project and she urges anyone from Manila or natives of Manila who have served in the military to submit a picture and information for the book.
"I had several friends from high school who served in Vietnam," she said. "Some of the veterans have told me the real heroes are the ones who did not come home. But anyone who was willing to serve, if they volunteered or were drafted, deserve recognition for their service."
The deadline is Dec. 31. She is hoping to have the book ready for publication by the fall of 2012.
For more information on the book, contact Ms. Jackson. Forms are available at Delta Drug in Manila. or she can email questionnaires if needed. Her email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
In addition to the book, Jackson has filmed several World War II veterans and plans to submit them to Arkansas Educational Television Network program "In their own Words."
"It is a great program and it is a way to preserve history firsthand," she said.
She would like to have all Manila veterans recognized in the book and again invites them to turn in their names.

It's the end of the world. Six students have taken cover in Cortege High but shelter is little comfort when the dead outside won't stop pounding on the doors. One bite is all it takes to kill a person and bring them back as a monstrous version of their former self. To Sloane Price, that doesn't sound so bad. Six months ago, her world collapsed and since then, she's failed to find a reason to keep going. Now seems like the perfect time to give up.
As Sloane eagerly waits for the barricades to fall, she's forced to witness the apocalypse through the eyes of five people who actually want to live. But as the days crawl by, everyone's motivations to survive begin to change in startling ways and soon the group's fate is determined less and less by what's happening outside and more and more by the unpredictable and violent bids for life–and death–inside. When everything is gone, what do you hold on to?
Why I read it: Other than falling into my quest for comp titles, I picked this book up because I remember a lot of people reading it earlier this year. They said was a zombie story but it wasn't a zombie story. They were right. I'm so glad I picked it up.
ZOMG Yes: This book ripped into me. It tore through to the deepest parts of my past. It forced me to look at myself, what I'd been through, my relationships, my choices. It cut me open and let all of the things I've had carefully packed away fall out and spill onto my feet. I read it Sunday, and I still haven't put myself back together.
Here's the thing. Sure, this is a zombie book. But like what other people said, it's so much more than a zombie book. It's a story about a teenage girl with a dark past who has to face her own demons, who has to face her own abandonment. It's a story about sisters and betrayal. It's a story about parents who fail at the core of what it means to be a parent. This story struck close to home for me.
Even if you don't have a sister or aren't still in counseling because of your childhood, this is a good book. Summers takes the very question of survival and turns it on its head. This is a zombie apocalypse. The goal is to survive. Not for Sloane. This is a zombie story unlike any I've read before.
Meh: I'm really not sure there was anything about this book that would qualify as a meh. Some of the characters fit into your zombie apocalypse cookie cutter molds, but only at first glance. There were characters I didn't like--but I wasn't supposed to like them.
Overall, this book is glorious. You must read it.

Oscar Klefbom is a fine young defenseman with a bright future. The Edmonton Oilers didn't tip their hand as to how much they liked him, but we should have known he would be high on their list. Why? Read on.
It's an annual "happening" for Stu MacGregor era drafts. The Edmonton Oilers love their combines, and the NHL combine is becoming a personal check list for the Oildrop. Consider the last two Combine invite lists and the Oilers final draft list
2010 Oilers draft list
- L Taylor Hall YES
- R Tyler Pitlick YES
- D Martin Marincin YES
- L Curtis Hamilton YES
- C Ryan Martindale YES
- D Jeremie Blain NO
- G Tyler Bunz YES
- D Brandon Davidson YES
- L Drew Czerwonka NO
- F Kristians Pelss NO
- F Kellen Jones NO
Impressive. Seven of eleven, and every pick in the first three rounds attended the NHL combine. As I understand it, the National Hockey League invites the top 100 players for that season's draft to the workout and evaluation weekend. If a team drafted and average number from the Combine list, you should expect 3.3 players per season.
Did this theory stand up for another year?
2011 Oilers draft list
- C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins YES
- D Oscar Klefbom YES
- D David Musil YES
- G Samu Perhonen YES (only Euro based goalie at the combine!)
- C Travis Ewanyk YES
- D Dillon Simpson NO
- C Tobias Rieder YES
- D Martin Gernat NO
- G Frans Tuohimma NO
Six of nine. Over the last two seasons, 59% of the kids selected by the Oilers attended the combine. That's 13 players total, during a time we might have expected 7 (or about half of the total). It lends credence to my theory on the Oilers current draft tendencies, which are:
- Trust the consensus, especially in the first two rounds.
- If you make a reach pick, for crying out loud do it in the third round and beyond.
- draft heavily in the CHL, Sweden, Finland and oh yeah Slovaks are cool too.
Here are the areas Edmonton has drafted from during the MacGregor years (2008-11). Anything in bold means at least one selection from this year's draft:
- Sweden: 4
- Finland: 4
- Slovakia: 2
- Belarus: 1
The Edmonton Oilers are drafting out of the Western League in a way that resembles the mid-70's Islanders. Let's hope it pays off in a similar fashion (four Stanley's).

text: Tax Reform and You November 27, 2017 As Congress continues to work on tax reform, an issue that could impact small businesses, like funeral homes, has arisen: it is the Small Business Exemption from Limitation on Deduction of Business Interest. The tax bill passed by the House (H.R. 1 "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act") holds that businesses with average annual gross receipts of $25 million or less would be exempt from the interest limitation rules (described in §3301 of the bill). This provision would be effective for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2017. In the Senate bill that will be voted on this week ("Tax Cuts and Jobs Act"), businesses that satisfy the $15 million gross receipts test would be exempt from the interest limitation rules (described in JCT. III.C.1.). This provision would be effective for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2017. NFDA, which maintains a year-round presence in D.C., is taking action to ensure that you are not adversely affected by this provision. We are actively engaging with our champions in the U.S. Senate to offer an amendment that would ensure businesses in this profession are treated fairly. In addition to small business exemption above, we are also working with Congress on the following issues to ensure fair treatment for the funeral profession: Individual tax rates. The House bill collapses the current rate structure to four rates and generally lowers individual tax rates to 12%, 25%, 35% and 39.6%. The Senate bill keeps seven brackets and generally lowers individual tax rates 10%, 12%, 22.5%, 25%, 32.5%, 35% and 38.5%. The House bill simplifies the current law structure, but the Senate bill does not. Treatment of small business income. A wide gap exists in the House and Senate bills. There is relief in both bills but is it structured differently. How to tax small businesses will be one of the more challenging questions House and Senate tax writers have to resolve. The House bill reduces the tax rate on pass-through businesses to 25% at incomes above $250,000 (the lowest tax rate on small business income since World War II). It also provides a new, low tax rate of 9% on the first $75,000 in net business taxable income for active owners or shareholders if they earn less than $150,000. Those earning above $150,000 would receive a reduced special-rate benefit, which would fully phase out at $225,000. The Senate plan would allow owners and shareholders to claim a deduction equal to 17.4% of their business income. For owners or shareholders with incomes above $500,000 for joint filers and $250,000 for all other filers, the deduction would be limited to 50% of their W-2 income, defined as wages subject to wage withholding, elective deferrals, and deferred compensation paid by the entity. Estate taxes. The House bill provides relief from the estate tax by doubling the current exemptions to $10M and $20M and eliminates the taxes in year 2024. The Senate bill also doubles the current exemptions but does not eliminate the tax. State and local tax deductions. The Senate would eliminate this deduction for individuals. The House bill would eliminate the deduction but allow individuals to write off the cost of state and local property taxes up to $10,000. Stay tuned for further updates on how NFDA is working on your behalf in D.C.!

Ideal memorial verses include "Words are few, thoughts are deep, memories of you we will always keep," and "No longer in our lives to share, but in our hearts you're always there." Another option is "Today and tomorrow my whole life through I will always love and cherish you." Bible verses, such as John 14:27, Philippians 4:7 and Isaiah 41:10, discuss peace and strength during the time of death.
The achievements, personal interests and personal stories of the deceased may be used to select additional verses appropriate to the individual. Favorite songs lyrics, poems and psalms of the deceased are sometimes used. Bereavement verses are used in sympathy cards, memorial services and funerals to express respect of the deceased and give comfort to surviving family and friends. Some families print the verse on remembrance cards for funeral attendants to take home or select a person close to the decedent to read the verse during the service.
Memory boards or tables are used to honor individuals at memorial services. In addition to verses, loved ones place photos, mementos and items symbolizing the decedent's life and interests, such as military uniforms or hobby supplies, on the board or table. Along with sharing memories of the deceased, funeral attendants can write verses on memorial note cards and give them to the decedent's closest family members as gifts.

So let's see, here the chart of the agriculture ETF UAG straight:
It's been sloping lately, lets magnify the last part and reverse it like it was a 3X daily Bear ETF.
It's a pretty good climb, more than doubling the value. I see two main alternatives for this chart.
1. It touched the trendline from below a second time, it should therefor go down from here. (that means up in the real non inveresed ETF).
2. It can, while still respecting the broken trendline, start to do bigger megaphone patterns and thus still go up from here in the reverse chart (down for real). It has not been very megaphone-like yet. It's been more of a steady climb.
All in all this is worth monitoring, might even take a small position but probably not yet.
