Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
That's what happened Friday night at Ron Wright Memorial Gym.
The hapless Lady Panthers appeared to be headed for another loss on the basketball court.
Grand Junction Central led 49-35 early in the fourth quarter and looked as if it was already looking ahead to its next game.
Warriors coach Mary Doane put in her reserves to give her starters rest, feeling that the game was in the bag.
Senior sharpshooter Miranda Elliott sparked Montezuma-Cortez High School with a 3-pointer to cut the Warriors' lead to 49-38.
All of a sudden, the M-CHS deficit shrunk to 49-44. With the Central starters back in, the Lady Panthers clawed and scratched on defense, forcing turnovers that led to points in transition.
M-CHS was within four at 53-49 when Elliott drew a foul with 42 seconds left. The senior captain calmly sank both free throws and it was just 53-51.
After a Warriors offensive foul, Naomi Pinnecoose tied the game at 53 driving baseline for 2.
Central called timeout with 18 seconds to go and inbounded the ball at half court. Nicole Demby and Pinnecoose swarmed the Central ball handler with suffocating defense.
"She (coach Justine Bayles) told Nicole and Naomi to set a screen on the ball handler," M-CHS freshman guard Simone Lopez said. "She knew the ball handler would give it away."
Give it away indeed.
Lopez stole the bounce pass at center court and had daylight in front of her. The freshman took it coast-to-coast and calmly laid it in with four seconds remaining to put M-CHS on top 55-53.
The Warriors didn't get a final shot off, as the buzzer sounded and the Lady Panthers bench stormed the court in celebration.
"Finally," said third-year M-CHS coach Justine Bayles about her team's first win of the season.
It was the first home game of the season for M-CHS (1-14, 1-6 5A/4A Southwestern League). The Lady Panthers definitely gave their home fans something to cheer about.
"Every girl contributed," Bayles said. "It really was a team effort and that's what it takes. Everyone played defense, and knew what their job had to be and did what they had to do to get a stop (in the end)."
It's been a frustrating year for 4A M-CHS. But on Friday night, the Lady Panthers simply wanted it more and finally got to celebrate.
"We didn't give up," Elliott said. "We stayed strong, home court, first win - it doesn't get any better than that."
M-CHS avenged a 65-17 loss to 5A Central (5-14, 1-6 SWL) on Jan. 19. Oh and how sweet revenge tasted.
"We know how it feels now to go through a whole game without giving up," Elliott said. "Everyone thinks of us as the underdog. They're the big old 5A schools and so they think, 'We're going to beat them. No doubt in mind.' We just came out with a boom!"
The Lady Panthers were fired up and did start fast, scoring 11 of the game's first 15 points. M-CHS led 11-10 after one quarter of play and maintained its 1-point at halftime up 26-25.
However, the Lady Panthers started the second half slow and were out-scored 18-5 in the third quarter. M-CHS trailed 43-31 going into the final frame and was down 49-35, before finishing the game on a 20-4 run to win.
Elliott led the way with a game high of 20 points. Lopez chipped in seven.
"I'm so proud of Randy (Miranda) for just stepping up. That's what we need from her," Bayles said about Elliott. "I'm just happy that she was able to play through an entire game and really show where her talent lies. I'm really proud of the game she played."
On Saturday, the Lady Panthers appeared emotionally hungover against second-place Fruita Monument.
The Lady Wildcats scored the first 12 points and never looked back on the way to a convincing 66-23 win.
Pinnecoose paced M-CHS with seven points in defeat.
The Lady Panthers are back at home tonight to host rival Durango (10-6, 3-4 SWL) at 5:30.

In His Own Words: Living With Insomnia
Derrick hasn't had a good night's sleep in 15 years. He had always been able to sleep 7-8 hours a night until he became a security guard working the night shift at age 27. He attributes the disruption of sleep patterns—sleeping during the day, awake at night—to the development of his ]]>insomnia]]> . Now 42 and working as a van driver during the day, he is still unable to sleep for more than 3-3.5 hours a night.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
It started when I couldn't get a good night's sleep. I would sleep 2-3 hours, get up to use the bathroom, and then never really fall back asleep. When I tried to sleep during the day, it was the same, no more than three hours of sleep. Sleeping during the day was hard because even though you need to sleep, life goes on around you. Sometimes I would try to nap for about half an hour during the day to catch up, which helped some, but didn't totally make up for the sleep I was missing.
As far as symptoms go, I never really feel alert during the day. I am always tired, and not at my best or as sharp as I would like to be. On Mondays I can get away with it, but by Friday it catches up with me and my legs feel like they have no spring to them.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
I didn't pursue a diagnosis until I was about 35, when I started working a day job and still couldn't sleep for more than three hours at night. The diagnosis took about a week. I had to fill out a questionnaire about my sleep habits and spend a night in the sleep clinic. They monitored me and saw that I couldn't sleep straight through the night. After that, they told me I had insomnia.
Did you make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to insomnia?
The biggest change I made was keeping to daytime work. I also cut out caffeine and tried to keep the same routine and hours. I've tried sleeping pills but they only extend my sleep to about five hours of sleep and I don't feel rested in the morning. They make me feel lethargic and it takes a while to get going.
I also have to be careful of the kind of work I do. When I worked in a case packing plant, my job was to move the boxes along the assembly line. One day I didn't move my hand out of the way fast enough and ended up spraining my wrist.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
My girlfriend tries to understand my sleeping problem, which helps, but things still get tense sometimes. There's definitely a strain when she needs to sleep and I can't. I go downstairs to the basement, or try sleeping in a different part of the house.
What advice would you give to someone living with insomnia?
I think it's important to keep to one schedule and stick with the same routines. Stay off the coffee and caffeine. Also tell everyone in the household that they have to make some adjustments. But you also need to keep their schedule in mind. You really need to get your body adjusted to one schedule. I'd also say don't get on sleeping pills; try to do it naturally. Also, lower the noise: no ticking clocks, just quiet when you're trying to sleep.
What is the biggest effect insomnia has had on your life?
The biggest effect is not being as sharp as I want to be. If I want to do some school work, or go to college, it's hard because the sleep deprivation affects my memory. I can't retain new information easily, and it sometimes takes me awhile to catch on.
The other thing with insomnia is that I feel like I have so much more free time. When I sleep only 3-4 hours, it leaves me with a lot of time to do household chores like washing clothes or doing dishes.

I have rarely experienced such excellent quality advice, support and reliability. Your staff communicate effectively and helpfully. I am a truly satisfied customer. I love my String Shelving and I will not hesitate to return to Utility for my next purchase. Thank you!
Your customer service has been fantastic. I'm seriously impressed. Really pleased to be able to place the bigger order and make your time worthwhile. I think I need to send you a medal!
I just wanted to express my thanks again for your great customer service. I ordered my items less than 24 hours ago and I've amended my order- yet I still have my order here with me now. You went out of your way to deliver my order and I'm very grateful. I wish more places had people like you :-)
Thanks so much for your extraordinary service. -
Thanks again for such amazing customer service - I have honestly been so impressed by everything! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job
Excellent customer service and immediate response to enquiry (live chat). Very happy every time used Utility both online and on high street.
I couldn't be happier with the custom made sofa bought through the online store. It is perfect and made all the more enjoyable by buying it through the guys at utility. Ben and Paul who delivered the sofa were amazing, kind and really helpful in a difficult situation (of course the lift broke when I was getting something delivered). Would highly recommend!
Just wanted to message and say that I'm a big fan of the Utility Stores and the types of products you guys sell. I work close by to the Manchester store at University Green, so I'm popping in a fair bit generally for cards, gifts, etc. I just nipped in again this afternoon about one product I'd bought earlier and the staff were super helpful and attentive. It made it really easy, and I was in and out in no time.
Just wanted to drop you guys a quick note to say how happy I am with the service I have had. Especially the two guys who delivered/carried into an awkward space/built/then took away the packaging, not to mention then gave me a lift into town. Thank you. Plus the sofa looks amazing. I will definitely be using you guys more in the future and will highly recommend you to anyone who will listen.
Thank you for all your help and customer service, the Eames Lounge Chair arrived yesterday and I love it.
Comment: I just wanted to say that Esther on the checkout in the L1 store made my day today she was so friendly

Unless deeply isolated in a programming niche, every one of us has come to appreciate how fast technology around us is changing. Not only changing in an absolute sense, but changing the way programming is done. With few exceptions, the imperative for fast, responsive development has swept up both the client side and the server, forcing enterprises to entirely reconsider how they use software and how the develop it.
In such an environment, how have large IT vendors fared? If we look at the top names in desktop and enterprise technology, we find a very mixed slate: HP, IBM, and Dell are struggling all of them involved in multi-year turnaround efforts. Oracle had flat revenue for 2013 as it tries to establish legitimacy in the cloud and on mobile devices. Whereas Microsoft has thrived. Revenue for 2013 was up 5%. This gain was notched despite a poorly accepted Windows 8 release that was, according to pundits, going to make or break the company. Microsoft was frequently identified as one of the companies most at risk as we enter into the post-PC era, and yet it has grown. What gives?
Many factors have contributed to Redmond's surprising success, but two in particular stand out: Microsoft embraced the cloud early and vocally, and it began delivering new software releases much more quickly.
The importance of its cloud platform, Microsoft Azure, to the company's future can be seen in the promotion of the former chief of the cloud initiative, Satya Nadella, to the position of CEO earlier this year. From this, we can certainly infer that Microsoft will continue to push its cloud: Azure for business apps, and Office 365 (Microsoft's Office in the cloud offering) for personal productivity. While Amazon might have a huge lead in IaaS, I'm hard-pressed to see a more ready competitor than Microsoft. HP, IBM, Google, and Oracle all have cloud offerings, but only IBM's (and to a lesser extent, Google's) has gotten any real traction among enterprises so far.
I should note Microsoft's efforts in the cloud is an extension to its core business a new initiative that will surely come to dominate other lines of business; it is not yet a change in the company's fundamental way of doing things. However, the corporate DNA has indeed been changed product delivery has been greatly accelerated. This can most readily be seen in the developer tools division.
In the last month, Microsoft unveiled the first preview of Visual Studio 14. It comes only months after the launch of Visual Studio 2013, which was a huge release, crammed with new features. And that came barely a year after VS 2012. Microsoft has never had major releases of its core developer tools in three successive years — a cadence it appears to be closing in on. In fact, you'd need to redefine "major" to argue it has ever done two major releases in successive years.
But rate of delivery is not the only important change. Microsoft has begun to tear down the enclosures of its infamous walled garden. Last year, it officially supported Git. Who would have believed that the company would embrace not only a key competing product, but one that's open source? In the past, Microsoft would have written its own distributed SCM and touted it as the solution for its developers. A product written by its nemesis the author of Linux would never, ever have made its way into the product mix.
Speaking of open source, two weeks ago, Microsoft open-sourced key portions of ASP.NET. At the /build conference this year, Microsoft announced it would publish the source code for the majority of its .NET infrastructure, including the languages. How far the company has come from its early dismissal of open source!
There are other changes that are noteworthy and interesting: In Visual Studio for the cloud, Microsoft is putting itself on the cutting edge of development by inviting programmers to explore a completely new way of coding and product delivery. It has no major competitors in this effort.
Let's look at it another way, think of all the major vendors that compete with Microsoft Oracle, IBM, HP, Google are any of them doing as much, as quickly, and as successfully? In this sense, the image of Microsoft has evolved from a large, rather rigid, often unpleasant company very much at risk by the changes in the PC industry to an agile giant, morphing to not only fit the times but to take a leadership role in the evolution of technology. This is a rather remarkable turnaround for a company of this size.
None of this should suggest Microsoft is not facing important challenges: Its mobile presence is tiny and Windows 8.x continues to be a problem, as is the steep decline in PC purchases. But the company is certainly in a much better position to respond to these challenges than anyone would have expected two years ago.

Employees continued to keep a hands-on approach to their finances in the second quarter of 2013, according to the latest research from Financial Finesse. Furthermore, college planning took over as a top priority.
Nearly a quarter of employees said college planning was a top priority, up from 16% in the second quarter of 2012. Twenty-seven percent of employees with minor children said they were contributing to a 529 plan, also up from 16% a year ago.
Confidence in the economy and their investment strategy is also up; however, Liz Davidson, CEO and founder of Financial Finesse, said overall levels of wellness are not improving overall. Employees' overall financial wellness has remained at 5.2 since the first quarter of 2013 and has bounced between 5 and 5.3 for the past year. It reached its highest level, 5.4, in the last quarter of 2011.
"Despite the strides forward that employees made in Q2, employee financial wellness is still not where it needs to be based on the economic challenges that we are likely to face in the next decade and beyond," Davidson (right) said in a statement. "There are major gaps in key areas that if left unaddressed will have major economic implications."
Some of those gaps include retirement planning, cash and debt management and, despite improvements, college planning. Davidson noted that the percentage of employees who are on track to retire is still disturbingly low — 20% — and employees' cash and debt management wellness scores continued to in the second quarter. Employees' cash flow score fell from 7.3 in the third quarter of 2012 to 6.7. Their debt management score followed a similar trajectory, dropping form 6.2 in the third quarter to 5.7 today.
And while college planning risen as a priority over time, Davidson noted that it's not enough.
"Even though we're glad to see an increased focus here, nearly three-quarters of employees with minor children are not currently contributing to a 529 plan or similar type of savings vehicle," she said. "On top of that, many employees don't understand the basics of scholarships and financial aid, and in some cases they are tapping their retirement savings to put their children through college."
Davidson added that while parents may think they are helping their children by sacrificing their retirement security for their children's education, they could end up hurting them in the end. "What they aren't realizing is that they are likely to end up burdening their children as they age and find that their nest eggs are insufficient to support their living expenses."
Financial Finesse acknowledged that while concern about interest rates on Stafford loans contributed to employees' increased attention on college planning, it wasn't the driving force.
First, Financial Finesse noted that increased numbers of students completing college may have translated into higher numbers of students at post-secondary schools. Furthermore, as the economy recovers, taking some of the pressure off employees' day-to-day concerns, they are able to prioritize different goals like planning for college. Finally, with unprecedented levels of student debt, combined with still-high unemployment, flat wages and less generous corporate benefits, employees are seeing the value in finding alternative ways to pay for school.
Davidson said that while there's still room to improve, employees are at least moving in the right direction. "The biggest piece of guidance I can give employees is to keep moving forward. Right now, they recognize their financial future is ultimately in their control, and we're seeing a significant mind shift away from focusing on economic and outside factors impacting their finances to focusing on internal factors and things they can fix themselves. Now that they've conquered that, they'll need to take the next step, which is accelerating their changes."

News from BadassBuddy
September 2010
On Sep 24, 2010, BadassBuddy will be 10 years old.
A decade ago BadassBuddy.com went from 0 to Badass in about 2.5 lunar cycles (the Web's 21st fastest growing site at the time), and the birth of an Internet anti-hero turned into a fleeting past-time for millions of chat-zombies around the globe (before SpaceBook took ownership of the majority of our free time). At times BadassBuddy was almost as impressive as the best xkcd ever!, with aspirations of being just half as cool as the worst Homestar Runner ever. (..negatory..)
10 years ago the BadassBuddy concept essentially began with just one simple piece of "edgy" pixel art that made AOL Instant Messenger®© appear to have a nifty new feature:
Unfortunately, pixel art has since been considered a dying art form, however the ninjas over at pixeljoint.com will show you that pixel creativity is in fact still very much alive (and I know you still love retro video gaming when you're not FPS'ing and rocking out with pretend instruments).
So I'd like to wish BadassBuddy a happy 10 year anniversary, but more importantly I'd like to thank the brilliant artists, the mediocre artists (gotta start somewhere), the blog entry contributors, the web designers and content managers, the rockingest server admin ever, and everybody else involved, for all of the hard work and passion that went in to making a unique contribution to the interwebs.
Add this retro-cool BadassBuddy button to your page right now!

News that the Larry Roth, who has led the Advisor Group of 6,000 independent reps for the past six years, is set to be CEO of Nicholas Schorsch's Realty Capital Securities on Monday has raised eyebrows and questions for broker-dealer recruiters and other experts.
Peter Harbeck is serving as interim president and CEO of the Advisor Group, which includes the IBDs Royal Alliance, FSC Securities, SagePoint Financial and Woodbury Financial.
"This is a big deal. It leaves a big void," said Jon Henschen, president of Henschen & Associates, a broker-dealer recruiting firm, in an interview.
Chip Roame, head of Tiburon Strategic Advisors, agrees. "Larry did a terrific job leading Advisor Group through the AIG crisis and rebuilding it afterward," he said. "It would be difficult to rate his performance other than an A."
Losing such an "A-level" executive is tough in any business, particularly in the highly competitive, bottom-line-focused field that IBDs play in today.
Two years ago, in fact, Roth predicted that many small broker-dealers "are gone or will be soon" because of technology, compliance and other business costs. "You cannot expect longevity if you're a small niche player," he said in an interview at the time. "This business is not for wimps."
"Certainly Roth's departure has the potential to cause weakness for Advisor Group in the marketplace today," Roame said. "I do not know how the reps perceived Larry. But from the outside, he held the place together and grew it, so I assume they see him as a loss."
Still, the industry consultant added, "I don't think any rep leaves for this reason alone. If they had a foot out the door, this might speed them along. But no, I do not expect this to drive a lot of turnover."
Harbeck (right), who has worked for Advisor Group for nearly a decade, says the firm is "home to some of the industry's greatest leaders … I am confident our more than 6,000 financial advisors understand our commitment to their success."
Advisor Group, which is owned by AIG, wrapped up its purchase of Woodbury Financial Services from The Hartford in December, adding some 1,400 advisors and $25 billion in assets under management to its network. It hosted its annual conference for female advisors in May,emphasizing how important it is to expand the diversity of its advisor force.
Recently, it's had a good run of recruiting. For instance, Royal Alliance Associates added a group of 50 independent advisors with $1.4 billion in assets and some $8 million in yearly fees and commissions in July. The group had previously been affiliated with Walnut Street Securities.
However, Henschen wonders if part of Roth's motivation in leaving is the direction of the Advisor Group of IBDs. The group has done some consolidating recently, he says, and could stand to trim more staffers from its back offices. "That could be a tough thing to do, but it still has lots of overhead," the recruiter said. Future Shock?
There are also questions over the Advisor Group's strategy and stability. "Who's running the ship? And where is the firm headed?" Henschen asked. "The firm has been a bit iffy in this regard, and with Larry going, there will be some insecurity."
The Advisor Group has been grappling with executive shifts at its IBDs in recent years. The head of Royal Alliance, Art Tambaro, said in July that he would retire at the end of the year. Tambaro has led Royal since 2007. He will be replaced by Dmitry Goldin.
Jerry Murphy was tapped to lead FSC in August 2011, after Mark Schlafly departed. Schlafly, formerly of LPL Financial, assumed the post in June 2008 when FSC's chief at the time, Joseph "Joby" Gruber, was forced to resign. (FINRA charged Gruber with allowing a subordinate to take his 2007 continuing-education proficiency tests.)
SagePoint is led by Jeff Auld, formerly of Berthel Fisher and NEXT Financial. Auld joined the Advisor Group in July 2008, at the height of the financial crisis.
Interim CEO Harbeck insists that the Advisor Group is well positioned on its current growth path. Each of its broker-dealers "is actively recruiting advisors, and we are on track to have one of our most successful years in recent history," he explains.
"We are one of the largest independent broker-dealer networks in the country," he noted, "and we will continue to actively recruit advisors to each of our firms and remain focused on being the network of choice for today's advisors."
For his part, Henschen says, Roth's legacy does bode well for the group of IBDs. "I give Roth credit. With the '09 chaos at AIG, they lost reps that year and in 2010, but they have gained reps since then. And the Woodbury acquisition was a good one."

The Holsteinische Schweiz lakelands provide the picturesque setting for Eutin Castle and its enchanting gardens. After extensive restoration work, the castle has been returned to its former glory.
Eutin Castle in East Holstein was once the seat of the prince bishops of Lübeck and the dukes of Oldenburg. This four-winged residence was built on the site of a medieval stronghold. It obtained its characteristic appearance between 1707 and 1729, and in spite of the baroque conversion, the castle exterior remains rather austere. The inside is a different story, however, with splendid original rooms, salons, halls, the castle church and a wealth of exquisite objects. Eutin Castle's heyday arrived in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was transformed into a courtly baroque residence under Duke Christian August and Friedrich August I. At that time Eutin became the social focus of the region and major extensions were undertaken both inside the castle and in the park. The castle park was one of the largest baroque gardens in Schleswig-Holstein. in the 18th century and was redesigned in the style of an English garden at a later date. It features majestic tree-lined avenues, grand old trees and a small sun temple, while Lake Eutin itself is incorporated into the park landscape. Part of the 14 hectares of land is given over to the open-air stage for the annual Eutin Festival. Every July and August, a season of operas and operettas are performed on the stage. Eutin Castle is now a museum with exhibitions illustrating courtly life through the centuries. The model ships, a gift from the Tsar to the ducal family, are especially impressive. Nearby attractions: St. Michael's Church in the heart of the town is an important example of 12th century Romanesque architecture. Eutin's listed water tower was completed in 1909. The reward for climbing its 156 steps is a wonderful panoramic view.

The Story Behind Hermione Granger and Harry Potter
Prostitutes have been around for a long time, although it is debatable how long exactly. When a woman enters the life of prostitution, she does so out of desperation. Even the most hardened misogynist will agree that it is always better to be desperate than to be happy in this form of living.
There are stories from the many prostitutes about how they had been a hopeless woman when first entering the life of prostitution. They were very unhappy and often depressed. They were constantly asking for money, which was hard to find. For a lot of prostitutes, they felt trapped and had no real sense of their future.
In the film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione Granger goes on a number of dates with both Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. In the books, Hermione is much more successful with both men and the plot keeps her alive much longer than it would in the movies. In fact, she has enough friends around her that she can go out at night without having to use her wand. She also has the full support of a love that is ready to face the world if the time calls for it.
Prostitutes Barwick BA22 Escort
Hermione and Harry Potter may seem like two fictional women, but the fact is that Hermione is an exaggerated account of a real-life prostitute. The same is true of prostitutes in history and around the world. In fact, there are many real life prostitution cases that seem to parallel the experiences of these two girls.
For example, in the novel "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," Hermione Granger is treated as a princess by all of her male acquaintances. Some are friendly and make her feel special. Others try to pamper her by offering to watch her while her mother is out. Then there are the males who try to sleep with her - all in good fun.
There are numerous interesting cases of real life prostitutes who had gone from being unhappy to being extremely successful with different men. At the same time, they had all of the women who entered the adult industry in the last fifty years feeling that they were going to become famous in a short period of time. They were promised success after failure and then fell off the deep end.
Another prostitute named Joanne Peters said of her boss, John D. Ropper, "He's a great old man. He didn't treat me badly and he never did anything to me that I didn't like." Joanne says that she felt lucky to work for him and, "I really enjoyed being at his beck and call."
After a short time of working for John D. Roper, Joanne decided that she would rather do the job herself. She says that when asked if she wanted to be a part of the brothel's staff, she thought about the statement and replied, "It's really not that bad." Apparently, she was very excited about being a part of it.
Joanne continued to work for John D. Roper after that. It wasn't until she got a job as a waitress in a hotel that she started to realize that she was running away from the truth. Joanne was one of the few female prostitutes in the building and she was appalled by the fact that they seemed to think it was all right.
Joanne was shocked by the treatment that she received from the women at the hotel because she worked for John D. Roper and they treated her like dirt. It was then that she realized that they were only pretending to treat her well and in the process, Joanne could tell the truth.
Joanne's story can be used as a cautionary tale for women who are considering a career in the adult industry, but who were expecting to be treated well once they were in it. When you are faced with an employer who treats you badly and cannot or will not treat you fairly, you should run for the hills.
Unfortunately, it was this kind of treatment that John D. Roper subjected women in the brothel to. It was a way to maintain power and control over the women who were trying to get out of the life. it.

Home performance pros hear it all the time: "I had no idea I was using that much energy!" Homeowners are often unaware of just how much energy their appliances, electronics, and systems are using. This is the reason behind many marketing campaigns from utilities that urge homeowners and renters to be more aware of what's going on in their homes. If occupants save energy, they'll save money, and sometimes even get a rebate check.
Just the other day, in fact, I received an email from my utility company, PG&E, introducing me to Energy Advisor—my "source for information to help manage energy usage and bills." Of course, there are companies beyond the utilities that are making strides to help homeowners and renters understand how much energy they use per month and where that energy use is coming from. One such organization is Energy Aware.
Energy Aware is based in Vancouver, Canada and was founded in 2005. They create residential demand-side management products, and most recently launched a home monitoring product called Neurio. Neurio is a wi-fi monitor that shows occupants how much power their homes and individual devices are using. It also comes with a cloud-based platform and app that shows occupants what their home's total power is and which appliance is using that power. The platform then learns how the occupant interacts with his/her home and enables the home to communicate with its owner, for example, sending a text message when the washing machine is done or when an appliance is left on by mistake. In essence, its goal is to make any home or apartment smarter and educate the people who live in it. As we know, education is an extremely powerful tool when it comes to energy savings.
Ali Kashani, the VP of software for Energy Aware was a beta user of the new product, which allowed him to come up with the app that coincides with the device. With the help of Neurio, which he installed himself in his Vancouver apartment, he saved 3,527 kWh of electricity in one year. "I put it in my home and saw where all the energy was being used," says Kashani. "The first big thing was that I had a broken heater in my room, which only made a little heat. Because of that, I thought that it wasn't using a lot of power—that wasn't true. When I used the system, I found out that it was using a lot of energy; it was blasting full power the whole time and the thermostat would never turn it off."
Kashani also noticed that his stereo was using a lot of power. "My stereo system was still set on demo mode from when I bought it. Even when I turned it off, it wasn't off," he says. By simply knowing where this energy was being used, Kashani was able to make the appropriate changes to his apartment. Changes that had a drastic affect on his electricity bill. "In 2011, my electric bill was $750. In 2012, it went down to $400," he says. While using the Neurio device, Kashani also participated in his utility's rebate program that incentives people to use less energy. For his reduction, he received a $75 check (see photo above).
In addition to telling Kashani where energy is being used, Neurio's app (see photo right) can tell him which devices are still on when he leaves the house or when he goes to sleep. For example, his roommate uses a portable heater, which she often forgets to turn off when she goes to bed. Kashani can now check that before he calls it a night, making sure that he turns it off and saves energy. "Every time I leave my home or when I go to bed I can make one last check," he says.
Neurio launched a campaign on Kickstarter on Wednesday, October 16. You can learn more at http://i.neur.io/kickstarter.

Jolt Awards: The Best Books, September 18, 2012 Six notable books that every serious programmer should read.
Jolt Productivity Award: HTML5 Developer's Cookbook
by Chuck Hudson and Tom Leadbetter
One of the problems with HTML5 is that it is not just one technology, but many technologies, some of which are quite distinct from each other. Consequently, getting a leg up on the process of using all the pieces can be quite a chore.The Hudson and Leadbetter book, however, is a surprisingly compact, readable treatment of HTML5 that uses the cookbook format to reduce the amount of work necessary to handle routine tasks.
The authors demonstrate clearly how to use HTML5 features for automatic validation of form input fields, auto complete, and nearly automatic page geometry layout and navigation (without the use of layout tables as required in yesteryear) — which is all quite exciting. Exciting because not only do these options reduce server load, they also reduce the developer typing load so familiar in HTML4 work. Recipes for HTML5 are provided at three different levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. I appreciated the compatibility tables for seven different browsers (including Android), and workaround discussions for incompatibilities. The companion reference website written in HTML5, of course gives live examples of things that more-static printed illustrations can't convey. Hints about the power of CSS 3, although not a formal part of HTML5, point the developer to additional labor-saving options. The HTML5 Canvas drawing discussion is a little light, but the excellent book, Core HTML5 Canvas by David Geary (reviewed earlier on Dr. Dobb's) makes an ideal companion to this book.
This book is a keeper reference book, not only because the detail is sufficient, but because the organization and examples are lucid enough to actually serve as an HTML5 site development tutorial.

text: Always one of the best parties of the year, last Friday's NADA Emerging Artist's shindig (brought to you by Bumble and Bumble and The L) was no different, with the added bonus of costumes. Luckily, Diana Levine was on hand with her awesome photo booth set up. Our favorite may be the dude who dressed up like Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood. We bet he just kept saying "I'm an oil man" all night, which was probably pretty annoying by the end… (Obviously, mad props to The L's own Lauren Savit for the simple elegance of her classic "knife through head" costume. Always a winner.)

"Forget about a government shutdown. The quibbling over concessions to keep the government funded distracts from what might be the most predictable economic crisis."
So argues currency manager Axel Merk, noting that the country faces problems that may affect everything from the value of the dollar to investors' savings and even national security.
"To see why we have a problem, let's look at the projections of the Congressional Budget Office," Merk begins in his October insight. "From 1973-2012, government spending averaged 20.4% of GDP; in contrast government revenue averaged 17.4% of GDP. That equates to an average yearly deficit of 3%. As long as an economy grows sufficiently, it may be able to carry a sustained 3% annual deficit."
Financing any level of government spending can occur either through increasing revenue (taxes) or borrowing. Trouble is that there aren't enough "rich folks out there" to tax to mend the system, he argues.
He then lists the following projection by the CBO:
•In 10 years, our annual budget deficit is projected to be 4.5% of GDP.
•In 25 years, our annual budget deficit is projected to be 13.6% of GDP.
•In 35 years, our annual budget deficit is projected to be 18.7% of GDP.
But the biggest "elephant in the room," he says, is interest expense. According to the CBO, in 2048, we will be spending almost 12% of GDP on interest expense, compared to just over 1% now. Differently said, as a share of GDP, we will be paying more in 2048 for entitlements and interest expense than we currently pay for all government services combined.
"Said still another way, even with substantially higher taxes, there may not be any money to pay for the military, education or infrastructure. In fact, Republicans and Democrats can stop arguing about discretionary spending, as there might not be any to fight over! [Erskine] Bowles argues, and we agree, that our deficits might be the biggest threat to our national security."
So what does it mean for investors, he asks? The most obvious choice might be to consider shorting bonds. But while he agrees that bonds may be one of the worst investments over the coming decades, he warns that it can be very expensive to short bonds.
"Markets tend to exert maximum pain on investors; as such, it's conceivable that bonds hold on much longer than one might think, possibly even rise. During this 'wait and see' period, investors shorting bonds have to pay the interest on them."
A more effective way to prepare for what lies ahead might be to focus on the greenback, he concludes. The United States has a current account deficit. That means foreigners have to buy dollar denominated assets to keep the dollar from falling to cover the deficits. Higher interest rates might attract investors, but if one believes the Federal Reserve might keep rates artificially low, it also means that Treasury securities would be intentionally overpriced.

Securities America said it selected Robin Claypool as its Assistant of the Year for 2012. Claypool, part of L&M Financial in Rochester, N.Y., will be recognized at the independent broker-dealer's national conference, which is set for June 9-12 in Washington, D.C.
Claypool (left) is a 12-year industry veteran and serves on Securities America's Sales Assistant Advisory Board. Securities America, which includes about 1,700 affiliated independent advisors, is owned by Ladenburg Thalmann (LTS).
The IBD says its advisors have roughly 1,500 assistants working with them nationwide. Each year, about 15 advisors nominate an assistant for the award, which Securities American has been giving since at least 2002.
"Robin's character as a conscientious, thorough, detailed and capable person is the foundation on which our firm's success is built," said Kevin Clar of L&M Financial in a statement. "Thanks directly to Robin's effort and meticulous attention to detail, L&M Rochester will be greatly increasing its community awareness and building its local brand in 2013."
To qualify for the award, assistants must be nominated by a Securities America advisor, have a minimum of two years of industry experience and, if securities licensed, have a clean compliance record. According to the IBD, the selection of the top assistant also includes a review of specific instances of service that went above and beyond expectations to clients, advisors and the firm; demonstrated leadership abilities; and personal and professional development.
In Claypool's case, she juggled both her regular duties and had a key role "in shepherding L&M Rochester through a dynamic year of positive change, including researching and facilitating a full-scale office move," according to Securities America.
In addition to this recognition program and its assistant advisory board, La Vista, Neb.-based Securities America offers assistants access to a two-day conference that focuses on technology, compliance, operations and practice management; and a web-based training program.

Looking back at research it released in February on Gen X and Gen Y consumers' financial knowledge, during a media roundtable at the 2013 Retirement Industry Conference on Thursday, LIMRA identified five steps younger investors could take to improve their outcomes in retirement.
The first and most obvious step is for Gen X and Gen Y to improve their financial knowledge. The report found 60% of Gen X and 54% of Gen Y consumers said they had little to no knowledge about financial products and services.
"That means the right type of knowledge delivered in the right way," Alison Salka, vice president and director for LIMRA retirement research, said on the call. She pointed out that not everyone has the same level of interest or ability, so "how it's delivered and who it's coming from is very important."
The second step is to get help, according to Salka. As we reported in February, investors who work with an advisor still report low levels of financial knowledge, but are nearly twice as knowledgeable as those who don't have an advisor.
Their financial habits are better, too. The report found 78% of investors who work with an advisor contribute to a retirement plan, compared with less than half of those who don't. They save at a higher rate and are more likely to feel confident about their retirement, too.
LIMRA's study found that Gen X and Y consumers have little tolerance for investment risk— yet this is the time when they should be more aggressive about their portfolio to achieve the growth needed to reach their long-term financial goal. Gen X and Y consumers who worked with a financial professional had a higher tolerance for investment risk.
"If you're not an expert, it's important to know where you can go to get help learning," Salka said. "Gen Y is at a life stage to invest more aggressively because they have that ability," but they've never lived in a time when markets have performed very well, she added.
The report asked how much people who use advisors rely on them, and found those who rely on advisors "to a considerable extent" were twice as likely to have saved more, Salka said.
Third, younger investors should take advantage of their employer-sponsored retirement savings plan or, failing that, start an IRA, according to LIMRA. More than half of investors under 34 are not currently contributing to a retirement plan.
"Over all, Gen X and Gen Y have similar levels of access to workplace retirement plans," Salka said.
Contributing to a plan doesn't guarantee a successful retirement, though. The fourth step LIMRA suggested was to continually increase contributions. If their employers don't offer automatic escalation in their retirement plans, investors need to take it upon themselves to increase their contribution rates between 1% and 2% every year.
"Just keep saving," Salka said. "Just keep [your] eyes on the goal and keep saving." Right now, 3% is the most common default deferral rate. "Most people would agree that's not sufficient," she said. "Many experts are saying you should be saving at 10%."
Salka (left) noted that while Gen X is more likely to participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, they're saving at the same rate as Gen Y. "Usually as you get older you start saving more. This is despite the fact that Gen X has longer tenure in their plan: nine years versus four for Gen Y."
Finally, Salka urged investors not to withdraw their retirement savings. "Who's taking money out of their plans and why are they doing it? There are a couple of different places this is happening," she said.
One example is when an employee leaves the company. Salka noted that people may change jobs as many as seven times in their career; thus, they could have as many as six DC plans. Instead of emptying those accounts, they should consolidate them, she suggested.
Taking loans is another reason money leaves retirement plans. "Not only do they have to pay it back and pay it back quickly if they have a termination in employment, they're also borrowing against their future," Salka said. "The net result of these trends is that people need to take more responsibility for their retirement. I don't think that's a surprise; the fundamental question is how to help them.
"It's a lot of responsibility for Generation X and Y, especially when retirement is so far off and they have other pressing financial needs," she added.
On the differences between Gen X and Gen Y consumers, Salka noted that over all they're fairly similar.
"A lot of the differences you see are functions of different life stages," she said. Almost two-thirds of Gen X are married, compared with just 29% of Gen Y. Similar percentages are employed, but 22% of Gen Y said they were not in the labor force for reasons other than disability or retirement, compared with 12% of Gen X. Salka theorized that this was likely due to more members of Gen Y pursuing higher education.
Sixty percent of Gen X households have saved more than $50,000, compared with 40% of Gen Y. "Gen X has had more years to increase their salaries, as well as their savings," Salka said. However, while they have more assets, they also have more debt.
Together, Gen X and Y have nearly $7 trillion in household net worth, the report found, with Gen X accounting for a disproportionately large percentage. Gen X households have a median income of $32,000 compared with Gen Y, which has $6,150.
Nonfinancial assets represent a significant proportion of assets, Salka said. Gen X households have about $7.5 trillion in nonfinancial assets, compared with $300 billion for Gen Y. Salka noted that 59% of Gen X and 27% of Gen Y report having primary residence equity.
"As more Gen Y consumers purchase houses and condos, their nonfinancial assets will increase significantly, but their debt likely will as well," Salka said.
Gen X households have 43% of their financial assets in retirement accounts. Of those, 64% are in defined contribution plans and 31% are in IRAs. Among Gen Y households, 25% of their total financial assets are in retirement plans. Of that, 65% is in defined contribution plans and 31% is in IRAs.
When asked about why they save, Gen Y respondents were more likely to cite vacation or travel as their top reason for saving, while Gen X was focused on retirement.
"I don't think this is because Gen X is by any stretch wiser; they're closer to retirement," Salka said. "They're more likely to see retirement on the horizon."
She added that while Gen Y may not have retirement as their top priority, "I do think it's nice that retirement was in the top two."
LIMRA surveyed 1,700 respondents in 2012 for the report, and used supplemental data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey and the Federal Reserve's 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances. In the report, Generation X refers to people born between 1965 and 1980, and Generation Y refers to people between 1981 and 1992.
