text: Ice may cling tenaciously to the sidewalk, but members of the East Race Whitewater Kayak Club don't mind. They squeeze into insulated clothes and plop their tiny boats into South Bend's East Race Waterway. They paddle from March through December-r-r-r. It is that lovable. The 1,900-foot-long concrete channel gushes with water that has splintered off of the St. Joseph River. It's far from the snowmelt of the Rockies and the stony gorges of West Virginia but good enough to host the U.S. Olympic Team Trials and the U.S. National Team Trials. It's good enough that some people regularly drive here from six hours away to get their white-water fix. It's good enough for those who rent rafts on summer weekends when there are public hours -- just to get wet. Greg Rex, of South Bend, unlocks metal boxes on a bridge over the East Race, presses a couple of red buttons and watches the gates as they let more water creep into the waterway. He stops the gates when the water reaches a certain mark on one of the man-made obstacles -- when the white water that the obstacles create turns into Class 2 and 3 rapids. "There are all kinds of features that, when we get on the real river, we like to play on," says Rex, the club's safety officer and a part-time lifeguard and supervisor for the East Race staff. The concrete can wear hard on the kayaks. Tape and putty fix that. But the East Race is safer than the unexpected hazards of a natural river, Rex says. During the public hours on summer weekends, there are always lifeguards walking along the banks, ready to throw a rope, making this a safe place for beginners to learn the sport. (You should know what you're doing first, though, and how to do the Eskimo roll.) When rafters fill the raceway, it creates a trickier course for kayakers who must dodge each other and the rafters, and take turns playing in the rapids. You can also elect to stay dry and be among the dozens of spectators mesmerized by the kayakers' tricks. You can watch grown men and women in colorful, snub-nosed boats as they bump each other on their sides like children, pointed straight into the oncoming froth. They fight for control in order to keep their position before Mother Nature washes them down to the course's next obstacle. Listen and you'll hear them laugh with delight.

My questions are in bold italics and their responses follow in black. (FYI, I asked all the standard questions and, as you'll see, he answered some of them.)
Let's get started...
How old are you (and spouse if applicable, plus how long you've been married)?
Spouse is 55 years old. I am 57 years old. We were/are high school sweat hearts and have been married for 33 years.
Do you have kids/family (if so, how old are they)?
We have 2 kids - one is 33 years old, married with 2 very precious babies. The other is 23 years old - in law school (on a full ride scholarship in NY, but that scholarship does not cover living expenses).
What area of the country do you live in (and urban or rural)?
We were born and raised in Iowa, but currently live in Colorado.
What is your current net worth?
Our current net worth (not including bs like paid off cars, etc) is (conservatively) $1.1M. Not much compared to most of your contributors - but let me tell you a little story about who we are and how we got here.
Spouse was born into a family with 10 kids - she was # 8. Her mom was a stay at home mom, her dad was a lawyer. They grew up very frugally. Nonetheless, she and her siblings all went to private schools from kindergarten thru college (and some thru higher education - also private schools). Me, I was one of 6 kids. I was the second born. My parents divorced when I was a junior in high school and there wasn't a dime saved for me (or my siblings) to attend college. So here's what we did - sure hope it helps someone out there.
My wife's parents paid for her college. Me - I took out loans, went to school for a semester, dropped out, worked really crappy construction jobs long enough to earn (barely) enough to pay for one more semester. Rinse and repeat and repeat and repeat and frickin repeat. We both finally graduated.
We had a little, blessed, precious one. My wife stayed home to take care of her. I worked more crap jobs and we were starving. My wife decides she wants to go to law school - so she did and she graduated with honors, which, to this day amazes me seeing as we were living below the poverty level with a little one and never took one dime of welfare (totally against our beliefs).
She finally graduates, takes and passes the bar, gets a job and for the first time we could actually really eat - thank God! Then we had another little, precious angel - ha! Well, you know, when you're in love all things are possible.
It took us YEARS to pay off my undergrad loans and her law school loans and while we were doing that, we lived really cheaply, but always managed to have a lot of fun and take some pretty cool vacations with the kids too.
We paid off our last school loans 9 months before our youngest started college. We cash flowed that, then we paid for her wedding, helped her and her husband with a down payment on their house, helped them out with all those expenses that come along with a newborn - just in time to cash flow our son's college.
In addition to going to college, he also wanted to get his personal pilot's license (which we paid for - altho he was working part time, getting 3 majors with great grades) and then he wanted to study/travel abroad (think Russia and Eastern Europe - ugh!) - so we helped him with that too.
He graduates speaking 3 languages (and pretty fluent in a 4th) and for the first time in his life he says he wants to go to law school - ugh! We did our damndest to talk him out of it, he was undeterred so wife told him we were NOT paying for his law school so he had damn well better ace that lsat and get a full ride to law school - which he did - ha! Yeah, the kid who couldn't even clean his bedroom actually rocked a full ride to law school. However, that does not cover his living expenses and his rent alone is $1400/month so we're helping him out with that.
Don't mean to be too windy about all this but I did want to give your readers some real life experiences about real people who do NOT make $100K plus/year. My wife has and does - but just barely 'cause with the grandkids here, she's working 4 days a week, not 5 and I only make $55k - and that's the highest income I've ever had.
Biggest mistake we made was not paying off those school loans just as fast as we could. We just worked those monthly payments into our budget as if we were required to take the full amount of time to pay them off. That was really, really stupid, but we didn't figure that out until after the fact. Ditto for any car payments. Buy used and use cash or do without.
What are the main assets that make up your net worth (stocks, real estate, business, home, retirement accounts, etc.) and any debt that offsets part of these?
Our assets are primarily our retirement savings, cash, and equity in our home. All of that came from our incomes. We were never given any $ nor did we inherit anything. We invested in primarily mutual funds and always put in as much as it took to get the full company match.
What is your annual spending?
If you don't count what we spend helping our kids out and the extra we're throwing at our mortgage, we live on about $2400/month.
What are you currently doing to maintain/grow your net worth?
What we are currently doing to raise our net worth is get our kids the hell off our payrolls - ha! We're getting there, slowly, but surely. (Who knew it would ever take this long)!
Is there any advice you have for FMF readers regarding wealth accumulation?
My best advice is to have some fun along the way, in fact, have TONS of free fun along the way, save, don't stress too much over things, trust yourself, your spouse and your loved ones. (Really this is financial advice).
Count your blessings every day and cherish the time of life you're in right now. You don't want to be looking back at it saying, "wasn't life fun when". You want to be looking at it presently and back on it saying, "I'm glad I can fully appreciate what I have right now and I'm really glad I appreciated everything I had even when things were challenging".
And, lastly, don't get cocky. We lost our asses in the stock market HUGELY twice and are gearing up for a 3rd one. Don't think for one minute that you're "special" 'cause you made it to the $1M mark or more. Shit - oops - life happens. You can be flying high one day only to learn that a loved one has just been diagnosed with cancer - and that can bankrupt you in a heart beat.
These are some miscellaneous comments that don't fit nicely into the questions I asked, so they are lumped here together. :)
I'm sure there will be readers who will criticize us for helping our adult children out financially, but our daughter has a child with serious medical needs and we're trying to keep our son's law school expenses down as much as possible. If both of them were not more than pulling their weight, we'd be singing a different tune, but they both have great work ethics so we're not going to begrudge them money they really need and are putting to good use right now. We'd much prefer to help them while they really need it than leave them an inheritance that they probably won't need when we're gone.
What I really wish I had learned many decades ago was Dave Ramsey's baby steps. So simple and yet so effective. We live frugally, but we could have done so much better had we actually had a game plan.
My wife kind of has an "early" retirement in that she is now only working 4 days a week and has been doing so since she was 49 years old. That may not sound like semi-retirement to a lot of people, but for a trial attorney, it's a constant vacation (only with some decent income). We don't intend to downsize our home anytime soon. We built it and we want to live in it as long as we can with no mortgage (which we're not quite there - but will be soon).
We always figured we'd need a good $2M to retire on (with market fluctuations, health care costs, etc), but lately we're thinking we may not need that much just because we like our frugal life style and still think we can travel the way we prefer with something short of $2M and have lots of fun along the way.

Infiniti is rolling out its very important all-new Q60 Coupe lineup this fall.
It's designed to put the brand back on the sports car radar against the likes of the BMW 4 Series. The Q60 is actually a reboot of the G37 series, which never did so well for the brand. It's worn the Q60 badge for the last two model years, so this makes it the third-generation.
The flagship of the Q60 family is the gorgeous 400-horsepower Red Sport 400. A new VR-series 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine gives it that muscle along with 350 pound-feet of torque.
The 2017 Q60 Red Sport 400 starts from $52,205 for real-wheel drive and from $54,205 you opt for Intelligent AWD, including destination charges.
The flagship features large sport brakes, sport-tuned Digital Dynamic Suspension and unique 19-inch sport aluminum-alloy wheels. It also features exclusive Red Sport 400 exhaust tips and chrome finished red "S" exterior sport badging on the trunk and front fenders.
Inside features semi-aniline leather-appointed sport seats, aluminum-accented pedals and paddle shifters. Infiniti says it's modeled around the concept of a "driver's glove" – fitted, personal and tailored for the person behind the wheel.
Oh, and that gorgeous color, Dynamic Sunstone Red, is exclusive to the model.
The 2017 Q60 Red Sport 400 starts arriving at dealers this month.

A Randomized, Open-Label Study Comparing the Combination of YONDELIS and DOXIL/CAELYX With DOXIL/CAELYX Monotherapy for the Treatment of Advanced-Relapsed Epithelial Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer
This is a randomized (individuals assigned to study treatment by chance), open-label
(identity of assigned study drug will be known), active-controlled study in adult female
patients with platinum-sensitive advanced-relapsed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal,
or fallopian tube cancer who received 2 previous lines of platinum-based chemotherapy.
Approximately 670 participants will be enrolled. Patients will be stratified by 4 criteria
defined in the protocol and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the trabectedin+DOXIL
combination therapy group (Arm A) or to the DOXIL (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin)
monotherapy group (Arm B). During the treatment phase, patients will receive study drug
infusions according to 21-day cycles in Arm A and 28-day cycles in Arm B. Treatment will
continue until the occurrence of disease progression or unacceptable treatment toxicity, or
until 2 cycles beyond a confirmed complete response is documented. Up to 2 additional cycles
of study drug are allowed after complete response, at the discretion of the principal
investigator. Efficacy assessments will be evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in
Solid Tumors. Disease assessments, including assessments for patients who discontinue
treatment for reasons other than disease progression, will be performed until disease
progression, the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, withdrawal of consent, or the
clinical cutoff date. Collection of survival status will continue until at least 514 deaths
have been observed. Serial pharmacokinetic (PK) samples will be collected in a subset of
patients who voluntarily consent to the PK portion of the study. Safety will be monitored
throughout the study. An interim analysis of overall survival (OS) will be performed after
approximately 308 participants have died. The final analysis of OS will occur when
approximately 514 deaths have been observed.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Overall survival
Up to 2 months after the last participant has received the last dose of study medication or when 514 deaths have been observed, whichever is later

Project Description
Peter Webb photographed The Rolling Stones for their Sticky Fingers album, and famously then lost his negatives for almost 40 years
As a Cambridge law graduate, Peter Webb is forever thankful he abandoned the Inns of Court for a post-university year in America. Moving straight into the world of Mad Men, he was hired as assistant to the legendary Photographer/ Director Howard Zieff (Private Benjamin, My Girl etc) in his studios a block west of Madison Avenue.
On returning to London, Webb rapidly made a name as a multi-award winning advertising photographer, and was then head-hunted as a director for Ridley Scott's commercials company. He later established his own company Park Village Productions, based in the magnificent Victorian Riding School and Stables in Regents Park, lovingly restored and converted by himself. Among the talent who came there to be photographed by him over the years were the Rolling Stones for the Sticky Fingers album shoot. Park Village remains a leading production company, with Webb and his colleagues having set the bar by winning all the premier awards in the business over the years, including the Palme D'Or at Cannes as the top Commercials company worldwide twice.
Never a man to stand still, Webb went on to direct the BAFTA award winning Butch Minds the Baby, followed by Give My Regards to Broad Street starringPaul McCartney and Bryan Brown. In the past year Webb, who is now establishing himself as an artist with recent exhibitions in Italy and London, has been thrilled by the discovery of his long lost Sticky Fingers negatives in his US brother-in law's London attic, where they had lain unnoticed for nearly forty years. As even more of a bonus, the negative sleeves also contained his individual plate camera portraits of the band.
In the same spirit of re-discovery, the completion this year of Webb's 70 minute Director's Cut of the 20th Century Fox 1984 108 minute theatrical release of Give My Regards to Broad Street, has led him to hope he can persuade McCartney's MPL Communications Ltd to return the project to its more modest small-screen intentions With the film's live performances of McCartney's most famous Beatles, Wings and solo McCartney compositions from Yesterday to Eleanor Rigby, and guest appearances from Ringo Starr, Linda McCartney, Barbara Bach, Tracy Ulmann and Sir Ralph Richardson, it's musical direction by Sir George Martin, Broad Street Revisited would make a perfect companion piece to the recent release on iTunes of the best of the Beatles back catalogue.
In the Summer of 2011, in association with Raj Prem Fine Art Photography, we hosted Peter's first solo exhibition of photographs from his Sticky Fingers session,

Syngas-related industries
Raman Optograf Analyzer for gas composition without sampling valve, column and carrier gas
Measuring composition for optimizing syngas production, process intermediates and end products
Raw syngas in primary reformer outlet
Raw syngas is the first intermediate product; measurement of the components H2, CO, CH4 and CO2 are used to monitor the H2 and CO2 and allow optimization of the steam/carbon ratio for controlling the reformer.
Traditional approach
Gasifier outputs are dirty streams – sampling and speed of response are main concerns in this process of hazardous and pressurized gases. Typically applied technologies like Process GC or Mass Spectrometry (MS) require transporting and conditioning the sample at both the sample tap and sample conditioning panel close to the analyzer.
Specifically, in this application, the use of a Dynamic Reflux Sampler (DRS) or alternative liquid and particulate removal system is mandatory. Protecting the GC or MS analyzers from liquid carry-over is the main challenge as this can damage columns in a GC or the ionization chamber in a MS.
Our solution
Continuous measurement using a Raman Optograf Analyzer and the OptoDRS™ sample conditioning.
More information on on the Raman Optograf Analyzer
Multi-component analysis
Unique benefit
Robust spectroscopic capability to measure simultaneously all syngas components, including H2 and N2
Front‑end sampling to deal with particle-laden or steam-saturated samples, ensuring no liquid carry-over
Saves cost on carrier gas and calibration efforts
Improved safety, since no process gas is transported to a shelter analyzer house

Once upon a time in a magical place called "America" there lived a people that were never, ever sad. Everyone had jobs. Everyone went to church. There were no drugs. You waited to have sex until after you were married. Parents never did inappropriate things with their children. Everyone loved everyone else...unless they were commies.
Then they took prayer out of school and the country went to hell.
That's pretty much the conservative line - things USED to be better so let's do what we did back then.
Here's a good reason not to - domestic violence was such a non-issue they wrote novelty songs about it that charted in the top 10.
One year, I wanted to do a Halloween show that featured not "scary" songs, but songs that actually frightened me. This song was the top of the list. The subject matter (and, yes, I realized the 1948 version of what's acceptable differs from the 2009 version) is bad enough. The song extols the virtue of beating the living hell out of your daughter when she disobeys you. Family values, I guess. What pushes it over the edge into unmitigated nightmarish sadism is the glee and jauntiness the beating engenders. Right off the bat, Arthur Godfrey chuckles disturbingly as the scene is painted with a girl lying on the floor trying to fend of blows. That and the HILARIOUS slapstick suggesting that Arthur Godfrey is not screwing around here. There will be welts and bruises.
It gets worse, though. The instrumental break with it's jokey, circus calliope conjures up the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex and his droogs beat and rape their victim while jauntily bellowing Singing In The Rain. Godfrey and his band of droogs square dance around their's as he happily calls out "dosey-doe".
The whole horrible thing winds up in almost Grand Guignol fashion with the participants executing loud, sloppy close harmony while Godfrey (fake) laughs so hard that he can't even sing. I'd be curious to know if there was a version where the girl they beat actually screamed and calmer heads prevailed.
It's almost the perfect song for a man who fired Julius LaRosa without notice on live TV.
I posted this song on my blog a couple of years back and got this comment from a woman in Montana
We had a short email correspondance about the song. "It was that song," she wrote, "that convinced me to get the hell out of Montana. Nobody there had a problem with it."

Pier One for Rugs?
Maybe. We were tipped off that Pier One Imports wasn't a bad place to look for rugs and we were surprised. Never having considered Pier One to be a good rug destination, we took a look.
While definitely not trendy, we were impressed with the price (as in low) and the quality of the rugs on offer. With nothing over $800, most rugs around $100, and good Tibetan wool construction in some, we would look here for small, practical hall rugs and runners, but not think to find a showpiece. Locations are UES, Grammercy & Midtown (see below). MGR

It's been a nicely productive week since I announced a hiatus in my Saturday morning Paradise Diaries blog posts.
But here it is Saturday morning, and I find that three-year-old habits die hard.
I'm taking only an hour out of my "authoring" labors to post this "occasional" blog so I can update you about some exciting news.
You'll remember that last week I explained that I want to focus my time on completing three books that are nearly complete. Well, the biggest step forward this week was coming to an agreement with my editor, Stacey Donovan, for her to work on my book of essays drawn from my blog posts.
Stacey is a prolific author of fiction and non-fiction as well as a perceptive and effective editor. She expects to complete developmental editing of my manuscript (MS) by October.
Stacey Donovan
After I've incorporated Stacey's notes, the revised MS goes to Dick Margulis, who was involved in my prior two books, A Light from Within and Fat Guy in a Fat Boat.
Dick Margulis
Dick takes the MS through the rest of the process: copy editing, proofreading, formatting and printing. Along the way, I'll bring on a designer to create a compelling cover.
The working title of the new book is Saints and Poets, Maybe. I took this from a moving scene from Thornton Wilder's play, "Our Town." Emily, deceased during childbirth at a young age, is granted a day to revisit her life. She comes away from the experience realizing that every moment of life is to be treasured:
EMILY: "Does anyone ever realize life while they live it . . . every, every minute?"
STAGE MANAGER: "No. Saints and poets, maybe . . . they do some.
Emily, from "Our Town"
I think this title comes close to capturing what I've tried to do in my blogs during the past three years—examine the commonplace in our lives and try to give them larger meaning.
If all goes well, the book will be ready for December's holiday gift-giving.
But there's even better news. About my novella. Next time.
Read Fat Guy in a Fat Boat, in print or Kindle from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Guy-Boat-Peter-Yaremko/dp/0990905012/
Also available is my e-book, A Light from Within, about the small moments of our lives that seem commonplace until they are examined under a creative lens.

when all are not equal in the eyes of The Law
Tawana Brawley has been found living and working as a licensed nurse in an old folks' home in Richmond Virginia. She has been living under the name Tawana Vacenia Thompson Gutierrez.
[In 1987] a 15-year-old Brawley of Wappingers Falls in Dutchess County was found in a trash bag covered in feces with the words "n- – - -r" and "bitch" scrawled upside down on her body and "KKK" carved into her shoe.
Sharpton, still relatively unknown outside New York City, and lawyers Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason, immediately took up her cause as she claimed she was attacked by a gang of white men, including [former Dutchess County prosecutor Steven Pagones].
When 28-year-old Fishkill Police Officer Harry Crist Jr., committed suicide a week later — likely over a romantic breakup and failing the New York State Police exam — Sharpton and his allies used the incident to accuse Crist of participating in the rape.
When Pagones, a friend of Crist, offered an alibi for his besmirched dead friend, he found himself accused of raping Brawley nearly three dozen times.
After a year of hell, a grand jury found Brawley's accusations without any merit. She likely fabricated the story because she feared her stepfather's wrath for staying out late, according to the grand-jury evidence.
…In 1997, Pagones won a defamation lawsuit against Sharpton, Brawley and her lawyers.
Maddox was found liable for $97,000, Mason for $188,000, and Sharpton was ordered to pony up $66,000, money that was coughed up by O.J. Simpson lawyer Johnnie Cochran and others.
As yet, I have not found any comment from AlSharpton.

Auto Finance Loans in a Glance
Fret not if you badly need a car and are not financially stable enough to acquire even a second-hand gas guzzler. There are many ways to acquire a vehicle should you take the time to really learn about them. You can start by browsing the Web and learning how an online auto loan company can help you with their many auto finance packages.
To date, there are many online loan agencies that can cover your needs from having the latest model down to securing auto refinance plans for your existing or your succeeding purchases. It is for your best interest to evaluate the agencies that offer auto loans online and what they can offer you as contrasted to the monthly payments you can afford.
To start off, know first what your personal needs are. The type of car you choose plays an important factor when computing the loans that may be available to you. Some compacts, for instance, may be more costly than SUV models released just a year ago. Understand that the maintenance cost of vehicles affects your monthly payment capacity.
Know the important factors relevant to your auto loan application. Most appraisals conducted by banks and lending institutions assess your documented credit capabilities. They will always compare your credit factors with the type of car you want. The interest rate, likewise, will also be based on your credit worthiness.
Don't give up easily if you have been rejected by one company. Chances are, it will review your applications again as long as you submit new documents that can prove your payment capabilities. Furthermore, a previous bad credit financing record does not automatically mean you won't get your loan rejected. Most agencies will offer optional plans rather than dismiss you summarily. In such a case, expect higher quotes or interests due to the risks of payment deferrals.
The majority of companies that offer auto loans online offer free quotes at the onset. Acquire such services so you can have a general idea of the loan before proceeding further. Secure a computation for all buying options available and ask for the flexible terms covering both new and used car acquisitions.
The initial evaluation of your total payment should include the finance charge or the total cost of the loan including all fees charged. Inquire about payment schedule and for prepayment penalty in case you plan to pay off the loan before the completion of the term.
Ask that the insurance coverage be included in an alternate computation. Some online loan agencies may include insurance coverage and some will ask for payment guarantee in case some personal misfortune happens to you and result to payment defaults.
Most online-based firms offer convenient auto refinance and repayment schemes that can lower your payments, interest rate, or both.
They also work with other loan agencies and car dealerships that operate near your area. Most likely, some information you provide will be forwarded to a local branch so you can work out some of the loan details face-to-face. In most cases, the online agency will send you the terms via email if you get an approval.
When shopping for car loans, bear in mind that the details given initially may be for reference only. You can turn down the terms if you think it won't work for you. An auto finance loan application is a two-way street and final terms are always subject to confirmation during succeeding transactions. Try applying online so you can evaluate the loan option that's right for you.

Mount Garfield Overview
Mount Garfield
Mount Garfield
is the westernmost peak in the San Juan Mountains' spectacular Grenadier Range. Colorado's 591st tallest mountain is assuredly among the least visited thirteeners in the state. It is rugged and remote even from a high camp in Vestal Creek. The peak features an exciting third-class ridge route and a complicated approach requiring a snow climb before leading you into two pristine, isolated basins, one of which holds lovely
Garfield Lake
. Because the approach to Mount Garfield is so involved, many people try to maximize their efforts by attempting to summit all four peaks at the west end of the Grenadiers –
Graystone Peak
Electric Peak
Point Pun
, and Garfield – in a single, long day. If you're interested in these peaks, please refer to Robert Rosebrough's excellent guidebook
Climbing Colorado's San Juan Mountains
All of this aside, however, the peak's defining feature has to be its fantastic rise from the Animas River. In little more than a single horizontal mile,
Mount Garfield's west slopes shoot skyward nearly 4400 vertical feet
. Indeed, the peak's vertical relief is among the most dramatic in Colorado, and this fact bears itself out statistically. Garfield ranks as the 21st most impressive in the state using a method devised by
David Metzler
that he calls "spire measure." Here's a link to the
top 50 Colorado peaks
ranked by spire measure.
Grenadier Range Overview
Sweeping faces of two billion year-old quartzite in a remote wilderness setting make the Grenadier Range one of the most intriguing locales in Colorado. Combined with the Needle Mountains to the immediate south, they make up the hardened core of the otherwise volcanic San Juans. The Grenadiers and Needles are the only places in the San Juans where the basement rock withstood the range's period of vulcanism. Therefore, the history of the Grenadiers is an interesting one.
The Grenadiers were originally uplifted 70 million years ago as part of the enormous San Juan Dome during the Laramide Orogeny, the mountain-building episode responsible for the creation of most of Colorado's peaks. By around 35 million years ago, the San Juan Dome had eroded into an undulating but mostly level surface. Mostly level except for the nascent Grenadiers and Needles, that is. During the San Juans' period of volcanic activity, nearly the entire surface was buried in layer after layer of lava and ash flows, but the volcanic flows would only lap at the Grenadiers' and Needles' feet. The Grenadiers, as Hopkins and Hopkins put it, "remained intact during the San Juans' explosive formation to become a magnificent range of glacially carved metamorphic basement rock." The Grenadier Range is actually just the spiny crest, the only part that extrudes to such inspiring heights, of the huge Grenadier fault block, which reaches for hundreds of miles northwest into Utah and southeast all the way into Oklahoma.
Arrow & Vestal Peaks
Basement rock, hard quartzite faces... what does all this mean to you as a climber? It means the Grenadiers feature "the highest concentration of quality rock climbs in the San Juans," according to Robert Rosebrough. The Grenadiers are highlighted by eight of Colorado's highest 200 peaks, and Vestal Peak, the sole representative from the highest 100, is the monarch. The range trends northwest to southeast for eight short but glorious miles between the Animas River and Vallecito Creek across the northwestern corner of the Weminuche Wilderness. The area saw a relative dearth of mining activity, so there are no maintained trails leading into the key drainages on the range's north side: Vestal Creek and Trinity Creek.
The ridge that divides Trinity Creek and Vestal Creek forms a convenient way to distinguish the eastern portion of the range from the west. On the west we have perhaps the more remarkable section. The arcing north faces of Arrow, Vestal, and Trinity Peaks seem like impossible copies of one another. The most impressive of these faces is the famed Wham Ridge of Vestal Peak, one of Colorado's classic climbs. The western end of the range is anchored by a collection of peaks – Electric Peak, Graystone Peak, Point Pun, and Mount Garfield – that encircles beautiful Garfield Lake. Their remote position and their lower summit elevations make these among the least frequently climbed thirteeners in the state.
The eastern end of the range includes three high thirteeners:
Storm King Peak
, Mount Silex, and the bastion peak, The Guardian. These three peaks brandish steep 1500' north faces. Just south of these three are two shorter but equally rugged thirteeners, Peak Eight and Peak Nine. Some call Peak Nine one of the most difficult thirteeners in the state to climb by its easiest route.
The Grenadier Range is one of the few places in the San Juans that were not climbed by either the Hayden or Wheeler Surveys. Franklin Rhoda's notes from the Hayden team's climb of Mount Sneffels show how the Grenadiers were nevertheless on the survey teams' minds as they traveled through the region: "The group of quartzite peaks stood out as boldly as ever about thirty miles to the southeast. In fact, I may state here that we have never yet seen a group from any station (and we have viewed it from all sides) without feeling both deep respect and awe for their terrible ruggedness. The fact... that the storm clouds seem to hover about them before starting on their meandering ways only served to add to our feelings of uneasiness."
The first climbers to challenge the Grenadiers' heights were William S. Cooper and John Hubbard in 1908. The range had caught Cooper's eye from the summit of Pigeon Peak. The pair camped at Balsam Lake and hiked to the saddle between Vestal and Arrow. They climbed up both peaks by gully routes on their respective south faces, finding Vestal to be an interesting but straightforward climb.On the other hand, "Arrow Peak," Cooper wrote, "proved to be really difficult. Several times our holds depended on the strength of our fingers." The range saw no more climbers until 24 years had passed when Carleton Long and John E. Nelson climbed Vestal and Arrow and made a first ascent of Point Pun. They are also credited with naming Wham Ridge. After studying Wham's impressive profile from the summit of Arrow Peak for a few minutes, Nelson exclaimed, "I still don't believe it!"
Getting There
The most common route to get to Mount Garfield is via the Elk Creek Trail. If you have the time and money, you can ride the
Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
(970-247-2733) to the train-stop in Elk Park. If you choose to ride the train in from Silverton, you'll need to be quick during your backpack in due to the train's afternoon arrival in Elk Park. Be warned, the unmaintained Vestal Creek Trail will slow even the heartiest of backpackers!
Most parties will choose to backpack in from the Molas Pass Trailhead, however, which is located at a signed turnoff five miles south on US-550 from the town of Silverton. This alternate approach adds about 6.5 miles to your round trip, and requires a 1600' climb out of the Animas River canyon during your return trip. While this is a tiring finale to a trip to Vestal Creek, this is a section of the Colorado Trail, and it includes numerous switchbacks so backpackers can gain elevation at a steady and sustainable pace. The one-way distance to Vestal Creek from Molas Pass is approximately 8 miles and requires 2600' of elevation gain from the Animas.
From the Molas Pass Trailhead, follow the signs and descend 1600' to the Animas River and Elk Park. Once you cross the excellent footbridge over the river, start hiking along the DSNGRR's tracks. You shouldn't stay alongside the railroad tracks very long at all, though. Watch to the left, and find the signed turnoff for the Colorado Trail. After hiking a half-mile on this spur trail, you'll pass a wilderness boundary sign and join the Elk Creek Trail. Continue your backpack for three miles to the notable beaver ponds at 10,000' and a glorious
view of Arrow Peak
. Walk around the west side of the ponds on some talus and find a trail that descends to Elk Creek. It's worth it to find this trail because it will lead you to a suitable log-crossing of the creek and to the Vestal Creek Trail.
This map
may assist in your progress from this point forward. The Vestal Creek Trail is unmaintained with a lot of deadfall to impede your progress. But it's far preferable to a bushwhack up very steep terrain. Hike up the strenuous trail and enter a small meadow at 11,000' where the creek hooks to the east. Stay on the trail and enter the trees once more. The first good campsites are available in this patch of forest once you reach flatter terrain. Otherwise, continue through the trees and hike through a second meadow found at around 11,400'. This meadow is situated below Vestal and Arrow Peaks, and there's a fine campsite atop a rocky bench on the north side of the meadow. You can continue to the next patch of forest where another couple hundred feet of elevation gain will lead you to a group of large campsites, your last good opportunity to drop your bags and set up camp.
Red Tape
Mount Garfield is located in the Weminuche Wilderness, and typical wilderness restrictions apply. Contacting the managing agencies (see 'Mountain Conditions') is the surest way to get up-to-date information. Campfires are
allowed in Vestal Creek. Stoves only!
Leave No Trace
suggests you observe these principles when traveling and camping in all public lands, especially wilderness:
1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
3. Dispose of Waste Properly
4. Leave What You Find
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
6. Respect Wildlife
7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
When To Climb
Mount Garfield is typically climbed from late June to mid-September. In early summer, be prepared for spring season snow in the couloir to reach the Graystone Basin and Graystone's north slopes. Before June, the snowpack below treeline would make the approach an exhausting and potentially prohibitive one. Climbs later in the year are possible, but this varies year to year with the arrival of autumn snows.
Camping is permitted in the Weminuche Wilderness. Remember, you find a camping spot, you don't make one. Help sustain water purity by camping away from creeks and lakes. Sparse but available camping is can be found from around 11,200' in Vestal Creek to around 11,600'. Please refer to
this map
for more information.
Mountain Conditions
Forest Service ranger districts and local outfitters are your best bet for gathering information on current snow conditions and other information. The
Columbine Ranger District
(970-247-4814) is responsible for the Weminuche Wilderness near Silverton.
Southwest Adventures
of Durango (1-800-642-5389) is a great resource, as well.

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
Brand Name: Torisel®
Temsirolimus is used to treat renal cell carcinoma (RCC, a type of kidney cancer).
Temsirolimus belongs in a class of agents called kinase inhibitors. Kinases are enzymes that have many functions inside a cell, including sending a signal to multiply. Temsirolimus blocks the activity of kinases, which stops or slows the growth of cancer.
This medication comes as a solution that is given as a slow injection into a vein (intravenous infusion). Each injection usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Temsirolimus is usually given once per week. The exact dose and duration of treatment may vary depending on several factors, including the type of cancer being treated, how well the medication is working, how well your body is tolerating the drug, and what other medications you are taking. Your doctor will recommend the approach that is best for you.
To prevent problematic interactions between temsirolimus and other drugs, be sure to tell your doctor if you are allergic to any medications, and what other medications and supplements you are currently taking. You should also inform your doctor if you have or ever had a liver tumor, liver or kidney disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding. Temsirolimus should not be taken during breastfeeding. If you have surgery and/or dental work during treatment, be sure to tell your doctor and/or dentist that you are taking temsirolimus.
Be careful to wash hands frequently and avoid contact with people who are sick to minimize your risk of infection.
Possible side effects may include:
Some of temsirolimus's side effects can be serious. Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms:
Please note that this is not a comprehensive list. Patients may experience additional effects not mentioned above.
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), your team of cancer experts will explain each of the side effects of temsirolimus with you in detail, as well as the side effects and expectations of all other medications planned as part of your individualized treatment plan.
Temsirolimus is approved for the following cancer treatment:
At CTCA, our integrative approach to cancer treatment works to fight your disease on all fronts and ensures that you remain at the center of everything we do. We encourage participation from both you and your family to make certain you are comfortable with all decisions made regarding your treatment.

There is a problem in America, no actually it is a world wide problem. I am talking about the Family Court Systems and their various members who court order child abuse, abductions, and murders all in the name of justice being served.
This is something that has been getting to me for quite some time now and I have been mulling over how best to approach this situation from the standpoint of an ordinary person with no great reach beyond just a few people. I have decided to just write my thoughts out as they are and to for go the listing of sources and trying to back myself up.
Feel free to take my word for it or do the research on your own. I have done the research and been involved in following cases of domestic violence and child abuse for years. I know what I have experienced and what I have personally witnessed others go through. I have read tons of court documents involved in cases being heard in Family Courts, divulging any of that here would put those that have shared these at great risk.
The main point I'd like to make is this: If a crime has been committed, then report it as such. Along with that you have to report it to the proper authorities and that in my opinion is law enforcement; not a Family Court, not Child Protective Services (CPS), not Department of Human Services (DHS). None of these people can really help you and many do more harm than good.
Now, I am not trying to put any of them out of a job, or even saying that they are all bad. You have to keep in mind that in far too many instances the workers in CPS are overworked and underpaid. They initially went into the field of social work to try and make a difference and many become numbed from the atrocities that they wade through on a daily basis. Not all of these workers are bad, nor all of them good.
Reporting a crime at the time it is happening or shortly there after is usually the best route to take in protecting your children and yourself. Most of what I am going to say here applies more to domestic violence than to child abuse but they are one in the same as far as I am concerned. Both are terroristic power and control acts committed by someone that is in a position of trust to the victim.
If you are in a domestic violence situation and are facing divorce proceedings, do not rely on getting an order of protection signed by a Family Court judge. In most cases these are not worded in such a way that the violator can be arrested and the cops are not at liberty to protect you if your order isn't worded right. Many lawyers do not even know, until it is too late the correct wording to use.
Most often what happens when there is a violation of an order of protection that has been issued in Family Court, the only recourse a victim has is to request a Contempt Hearing and tell the judge that the order was violated. Which puts the burden of proof on the victim. So, save yourself all of this hassle and just get a criminal restraining order.
I have been told many times that a victim was refused the opportunity to file for a criminal restraining order because the situation was of a family nature and thus must be heard in the Family Court. While on the surface this may sound correct it is not. Most states (I actually believe all do now) have criminal laws regarding domestic violence. Press charges. Let me repeat that, PRESS CHARGES! Once you have pressed charges ask for the restraining order. Then if it is necessary ask that any pending case hearings in the Family Court be put on hold pending the outcome of the criminal case.
When you file charges you will more than likely to be asked at some point for any evidence that a crime has been committed, so make sure you are prepared for that. Have pictures to show, witnesses to write statements anything that can prove you were assaulted. Be prepared to testify in court! You can contact the local DDV Agency for help in preparing yourself. They can also support you through this and help to minimize your fears as the court date approaches.
There is so much more involved in this that in order to cover every nuance I'd end up writing a book. There are several places online and in your local area where you can gain information about this process. The best one that I have found on line thus far is WomensLaw.org, do your research and be prepared.
If however, you have already gotten away from an abuser and are now facing him in Family Court for divorce proceedings and he is still abusing you, stalking you, or harassing you; you can still apply what I have said above. If the abuse was too long ago or you don't have proof and can not file charges for it (or are told by the police that you can't) , go to your local DV Agency and request help on how to proceed.
Family Court judges can not determine which one of you are telling the truth, and remember abusers are manipulative.
Lets move on to child abuse allegations after separation and/or divorce where custody is still being looked at. Even though you know your child is in danger, trying to prove that in Family Court is a waste of your time.
Calling CPS should be reserved for when there is a suspicion of child abuse, neglect, maltreatment, molestation, etc. Key word here being suspicion. It is the job of the case worker to investigate. These case workers have no power to arrest, the most they can do is call the cops once they are finished with their investigation. In most sates they have a very short amount of time to determine if that call should be made and children removed from a home.
Remember this: Abusers are manipulative. If an abuser was able manipulate their current victim into a relationship, they can definitely fool someone that doesn't live with them and quite possibly has only met with them for a few minutes to a few hours!
If you know that you child is being abused, then call the cops. Tell your child to call the cops. Dial 911! Do not waste time with calling anyone else, do not waste time with going to a Family Court Hearing and convincing a judge that the child is being abused. Do not even waste your time trying to convince a Family Court judge that you were abused by this person. An abuser has the ability to manipulate the court officers just as easily as they can the CPS workers; or anyone else for that matter.
Yes there are a list of mandated reporters, however, even telling them will probably get you no where; as the only recourse they have is to call CPS since they are not a direct witness of the abuse.
If your child tells you anything at all, do not question them further. Doing so will probably only get you accused of prompting them and you could even loose custody.
If you have already lost custody and you know there is abuse going on, educate and empower your child. Tell them about 911. Tell them about calling the cops. Yes, it will be hard for them; but I dare to say not as hard as what they are already going through.
The reason I suggest calling the cops for everything, is that quite frankly they are the only ones that can arrest someone right then and there. Cops are also trained in a different type of investigative skills than social workers and Family Court officials. They are trained to deal with investigating crimes, and after all domestic violence, child abuse and molestation ARE crimes. By law they can be more intrusive with their investigation and can uncover evidence that social workers are not allowed to even look for.
I will agree that not all cops are good; as with any profession there are bad and good mixed. We do hear far more about the bad people in all professions than we do the good ones which taints our opinions of all in that certain field. I myself as a victim of domestic violence years ago was let down by the police on more than one occasion. Each time I was in the hospital from a beating received at the hands of my abuser. I actually had a cop tell me then that there was no way for me to prove who beat me up because my abuser said he wasn't home when it happened. End of case.
But, I can tell you this...laws have changed since then, drastically! I can also tell you that if I were to ever find myself in another abusive relationship I would not hesitate to call the cops again, even after being failed by them in the past.

Community not so enchanted with proposed resort project
'The Enchanted Canyon Resort site is comprised of 220 acres of land located at Continental Mountain Drive and 72nd Street'
CAVE CREEK – As part of the general plan amendment process, community meetings have been scheduled by LVA Urban Design Studio – Steven Voss for a proposed change in the land use for 19.9 acres designation from Desert Rural zoning to mixed use.
The problem is the 19.9 acres, as seen in LVA's Exhibit 3, has been carved out of the middle of a 160-acre parcel in the vicinity of Continental Mountain Drive between 72nd and 80th streets.
CC Investors 220 LLC, which owns parcel, also owns the 60-acre parcel abutting the 160 acres along the eastern end of the northern boundary up to the county line, making up 220 acres in total.
Several years ago, council changed what constitutes a major general plan amendment, which, by statute, may only be reviewed once per year, from one acre to 20 acres.
Anything less than 20 acres may be submitted as a minor general plan amendment any time throughout the year.
So, seeing a minor general plan amendment application for 19.9 acres carved out of the applicant's 220 acres, raised some suspicions amongst community members when they learned about the proposed project.
In fact, the applicant states in the narrative: "The Enchanted Canyon Resort site is comprised of 220 acres of land located at Continental Mountain Drive and 72nd Street … nestled along a main wash and Mexican Hat Mountain. Incorporated into the Town in 1986 the site sits in the northeast corner of the Town, adjacent to Maricopa County and the Town of Carefree boundaries. This property enjoys great views of the Spur Cross Ranch Area to the northwest along with many other spectacular vistas of surrounding mountains and desert landscapes."
The current low density Desert Rural residential zoning, if changed to a mixed land use designation, would then pave the way for rezoning that allows for resort, spa, ancillary restaurant, ancillary retail and outdoor amphitheatre uses, which the applicant states would "blend with the proposed Desert Rural residential and equestrian uses in a seamless resort community," while claiming the project "embraces the town's western, equestrian lifestyle, rural development patterns, dramatic views, trails, open spaces and wildlife habitats that are the trademarks of the town's high quality of life."
The applicant further states, "The Enchanted Canyon Resort will promote a greater appreciation of tourism and all that Cave Creek has to offer.
"Ecotourism, as an alternative to mass tourism, is typically focused on personal growth with an appeal to environmental and social responsibility. Travel destinations, such as the town of Cave Creek, are areas where pristine vistas and participation within the natural landscape are the focus. The Enchanted Canyon Resort is intended to be a destination that relaxes and educates the traveler. The local Sonoran Desert vegetation and the town's southwest heritage are the primary attractions. In addition to assessing environmental and cultural issues, an essential piece of ecotourism is the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency, conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for local communities. Guests will take advantage of Cave Creek's restaurants, galleries, hiking, biking and trail opportunities."
With a section dedicated to "Sustainability," the applicant states its goal is to "partner with the town for both economic and environmental sustainability" by providing short term construction and permit fees and long term bed and sales tax dollars from the resort.
It states: "The plan for the project incorporates environmental, conservation and community design elements that support sustainability, quality living and economic vitality. The proposed development and operations are designed to minimize its overall footprint and conserve the surrounding natural resources. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of the site is being maintained as natural and revegetated desert landscape. In addition the project preserves and protects the nighttime environment and dark skies through environmentally responsible outdoor lighting practices, maintaining nighttime ambience. By planning for sustainability the project promotes responsible development promoting a long-term sustainable community that is environmentally sensitive, livable and economically strong. In addition to planning, the Project provides education and awareness of conservation both for the contribution that it makes to the quality of life and for its own natural value. The project assures that future generations see a healthy environment, which functions together between natural and human systems while promoting a healthy lifestyle."
Well, in doing the math, 67 percent of 220 acres, which the narrative states the project will encompass, is 147.4 acres. That leaves 72.6 acres that will not be maintained "as natural and revegetated desert landscape."
Creekers are asking how it's possible then for this project to come through as an application for a 19.9-acre minor general plan amendment and why a commercial resort project is being proposed in the middle of a low-density rural area.
Those and many other questions are hopefully being answered during the various community meetings and during the joint workshop for town council and the planning commission at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 15 at Cave Creek Town Hall.
After all, Creekers just finished paying for Spur Cross to prevent it from being developed as a resort.

Metrodome acquires the doc for U.K. and Ireland, Madman corrals film for Oz.
LONDON – Dror Moreh's The Gatekeepers has secured theatrical passage to U.K., Irish and Australian movie screens with Metrodome and Madman.

The film was acquired pre-TIFF by Sony Pictures Classics and is produced by Dror Moreh Productions, Les Films du Poisson, and Cinephil.
The UK/Ireland deal was negotiated by head of acquisitions Joel Kennedy and acquisitions manager Giles Edwards of Metrodome and Philippa Kowarsky for Cinephil Sales.
The Australian deal was negotiated by Paul Wiegard for Madman and Kowarsky.

A bizarre mix of "yellow peril" sensationalism and ordinary Wild West shenanigans, this silent melodrama was directed by actor Paul Hurst. Pat O'Brien -- who may or may not have been the Pat O'Brien of hard-boiled Warner Bros. talkies -- starred as Jim Kern, a cowpoke enlisting in the war to end all wars. Returning from the front, Kern finds that an "Oriental," Frank Akuri (Seymour Zeliff), has not only forced his sweetheart, Mary (Hedda Nova), off her ranch but is planning to colonize the United States on behalf of Japan. Jim, naturally, takes umbrage to this unwholesome scheme and when Akuri kidnaps Mary for wholly prurient reasons, the cowboy and a war buddy (Pat Corbett) put everything they have learned fighting the Evil Hun to good use. Mary is rescued in the nick of time and the American West is liberated from tyranny once and for all. Shadows of the West was apparently produced in eight reels in 1920 but thought unreleasable due to its inflammatory characterization of Japan. Motion Picture Producing Co. of America reduced the film to five reels, eliminating the worst of the "yellow peril" propaganda in favor of the more wholesome Western aspects. As such, it was finally distributed by National Exchanges in 1921.

Shadows of the West and we will let you know when it becomes available.

Sunshine, rivers, mountains, palm trees, elephants, waterfalls... What more could you possibly ask for?!
The thing about Laos though is just when you thought the country could not be any more beautiful you begin talking to the people. The people of Lao are the most generous, hospitable, and kind people I have ever met. The are often shy especially around foreigners, but smile at them and they won't be able to keep from smiling back.
A few weeks ago some friends and I had the opportunity to spend a day with a very special family here in Laos. In downtown LP there is a line of fruit/sandwich stands and over the past several months we have befriended a family behind one of these stands. They work all day long, every day of the week. Rarely do they take a break. But despite the exhaustion they without a doubt must be feeling they are always smiley and happy to see us. For a while now we have wanted to invite them over for dinner, but because they are always working we never could find a good time for them to come and eat with us. But we didn't give up. Since they couldn't come to us we brought dinner to them.
The family still had to work that night but in between making sandwiches and blending fruit shakes, we talked and giggled. And by the end of the night we were making plans to visit Hua's family out in her village. So Saturday morning they Hua's sister filled in for her and we were off to meet Hua' parents and other siblings. Her mother was just as kind and generous as Hua and cooked us a delicious Lao lunch. After walking around the village, gawking at the gorgeous views, and stuffing ourselves chicken and rice we headed home but not without a bag full of papayas. (Another thing Hua must get from her mother. We can never leave her stand without arm fulls of fruit.)
Hua (far right) and her beautiful family
Hua's daughter
Not only were we given bags of fruit but at one point we were offered a puppy
One final laughable picture of the giant falangs and the family

The World's Best CEOs
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
MANY CHIEF EXECUTIVES ARE CRITICAL to their organizations. But a much smaller number really matter on Wall Street.
In assembling our third annual list of 30 top corporate leaders from around the world, we've sought to identify CEOs who have top-notch reputations in the financial community and who likely would be missed by investors if they unexpectedly left their jobs. This admittedly is a subjective call, but we've talked to plenty of investors, looked at financial and stock-market performance and assessed intangible factors like leadership and industry stature. We've drawn on the knowledge of our staff, many of whom have contributed to this article.
To qualify, CEOs need to have been on the job for three years, but we tend to prefer those that have at least five years experience because it takes time to influence a large company and develop a reputation in the investment world.
Many of the CEOs in our pantheon this year founded their companies or have been with them for a decade or more. Founders include Rupert Murdoch of News Corp. , Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway , Jim Sinegal of Costco Wholesale , Fred Smith of FedEx and Charlie Ergen of EchoStar Communications . Many investors mistakenly minimize the beneficial impact of the continuing presence of a founder on an organization, but patient holders have reaped the rewards of having a Buffett, Smith or Sinegal at the helm.
A founder often has intimate business knowledge, commands strong employee loyalty and can resist periodic entreaties from Wall Street for quick fixes to tough problems. Not every founder is an unalloyed plus for investor. Many on Wall Street, for instance, believe that it's time for the 83-year-old Sumner Redstone to step back from Viacom and CBS .
The ultimate CEO who matters is Steve Jobs, a co-founder and guiding force at Apple . Jobs' departure probably would result in a greater loss of stock-market value than the loss of any other CEO in the world. Jobs might be worth 20 or so points to Apple shares, roughly $16 billion. No wonder the company last year seemed eager to minimize Jobs' role in Apple's options-backdating problem. Apple continues to out-innovate Microsoft , which spends about 10 times as much on research and development.
A common theme among the 30 CEOs is that they have delivered for shareholders. Nearly all of the companies have stocks that have bested the Standard & Poor's 500 index during the CEO's tenure. One notable exception is General Electric , whose share price is little changed under the five years of Jeff Immelt's leadership. Immelt deserves inclusion because of GE's strong financial performance during his tenure and his moves to remake GE's portfolio in favor of high-growth businesses. Just think about what the past five years could have been like at GE if its board had selected the imperious Bob Nardelli to succeed Jack Welch in 2001. A former GE division chief, Nardelli was a contender for Welch's job and went to Home Depot after losing to Immelt.
THERE ARE PLENTY of returning names on this year's list, with 21 of the 30 CEOs having made the cut in 2006. Two CEOs, Steve Reinemund of PepsiCo and John Browne of BP , departed because of retirement, or, in Browne's case, an impending departure.
Others were dropped as a result of business or financial difficulties. Gone from the list is Bob Toll, the co-founder of Toll Brothers . Toll may be the best CEO in the housing business, but industry profits have collapsed and the financial outlook for even top builders looks murky. Glenn Renwick of Progressive was dropped, although Progressive probably remains one of the two best-run auto insurers -- along with Berkshire's Geico. Progressive's operating margins -- and share price -- are eroding in an increasingly competitive environment. Also off the list is Chip Mason, who built Legg Mason into an asset-management powerhouse over two decades. Mason, however, may have done one deal too many in 2005 when he bought Citigroup 's investment-management arm, a transaction that has proven disappointing so far.

We've tackled tigers and rubber ducks on the show before, but have we ever turned our eyes to the animal spirits of three young brothers? Justin Torees' novel is brought to our attention by the witty and wonderful Elizabeth Crane, who joins us on the show for a quick disco dance. Plus: cosmically bad reviews, having the willpower to creatively open a cupcake, and what the hell Patty Hearst was fighting for.

1 Response to Episode 21: We The Animals (with guest Elizabeth Crane)
Enjoying your podcasts, however, I have missed titles & authors of your bookshelf revisits and think It would be helpful if you could capture them on your website for each episode. For instance, the "We The Animals" podcast Rider talked about a fictional account of the Pattie Hearst missing month, I can't remember the name of the book and only remember the authors last name is Choi or something like that. Thought sure I would find it on the website, but to no avail. Am I not looking in the correct spot on the website?
Thanks for the chuckles & literary sharing.

Bulk SMS is something that businesses should be harnessing and making the most out of. It is an ideal method to add to your overall marketing campaign to expand on your reach and get to more of your customers. A successful business cherishes its current customers, but also works hard to secure new ones and bulk SMS is a great way to do this.
How often you send your messages is really important and needs some serious consideration. Too frequently and you will scare your customers away; not enough and they'll forget you exist. Finding the balance largely depends on what your business actually does. Some companies will find that their customers expect a text every week or so from them.
However, if you don't have a dire need to text your customers with some relevant information, then once a month may be more suitable. Some companies choose not to text unless they have a special event coming up. For example, nightclubs will send more frequent messages in the run up to a big night, but may not be so pushy when there is nothing particularly special on.
Stay up to date
Over time, you are likely to get a lot of contacts in your database, but how many of those numbers are actually active and reading the messages? Go through your database regularly and remove any inactive numbers; a de-cluttered account is an up to date one and you can be sure you're only targeting the right people.
Similarly, make sure that if a customer opts out, you remove their details immediately. There are legal implications if you keep messaging people after they ask to be taken off your mailing list. The last thing you want is to be slapped with a court order, so make sure you pay attention to the requests of your customers.
Targeted results
The beauty of bulk SMS is that you can target specific customers for certain products. Once you've collected your contacts up and put them into a database, you can then start to split them up into different groups. This will allow you to send messages to specific people that will get the most out of them. For example, you can offer certain offers to the right people; there's no point telling women about a great deal you have on a beard trimmer, is there?
You can use the feedback you get from these messages to work out the next stage of your marketing strategy as well. Perhaps you need to change your tone of voice slightly, or maybe the time of the month you send your messages needs a bit of adjusting. The first few messages you send are likely to involve an element of trial and error, but once that period is over, you can start going for targeted results.
Simple and easy
One of the key selling points of mass SMS for business is how easy it is to incorporate into your marketing strategy. You can quickly and simply send out multiple messages to lots of customers, saving you time and money. The more messages you send out, the cheaper they normally cost, such is the benefit of buying in bulk.
Having all your contacts in a database makes it easy for you to select who you want to send messages to. You can pick them according to the content of the message and ensure that you always send your customers targeted information, rather than useless details that could cause them to unsubscribe.
Pay attention
Listening to your customers is one of the easiest ways to be successful with your bulk SMS campaign. If you pay attention to their feedback, you can start to split your customers up into groups and send them messages that are a direct response to their personal interests. Similarly, you will know not to send them information about things that they are not interested in.
Sometimes, sending out a quick questionnaire to your customers can give you a lot of extra information about them. You can find out how frequently they want to be contacted and also the sorts of content that they would be keen to receive more of. Your mobile marketing campaign will be significantly improved by being tailored to each customer and you'll have a happier database overall.
If you really want to make the most out of bulk SMS for business, you need to take the time to get to know your customers and ensure the content you send them is savvy, relevant and actually interests them. The more information you have about your subscribers, the easier your campaign will be to manage as a result.
