Wasn't that direct to video, or something like that?
I'm an unabashed fan of the first movie; it's a brilliant satire. Honestly can't say if Verhooven set out to make a satire on purpose...... but it's still a hoot nonetheless.
I suspect that he knew what he was doing.
Knowing that this director made both RoboCop and Showgirls, I'd say it's no better than an even money bet.
AVC: In order to get a film like, say, Starship Troopers made, do you have to sell the studio on a giant bug movie, then sneak in the satirical commentary?
PV: Sneaking in [those elements] was never something that I intended to do. They were all in the script. In my opinion, the movie got made because there were so many regime changes at Sony at that time, one after the other. Mike Medavoy disappeared, then Marc Platt came in, then Bob Cooper came in, and so on. There were five or six changes, and I don't think anyone ever looked at the movie! All the satire was in the script from the beginning, but they might not have been really aware of it, or had read it precisely. By the time one of them might have understood what movie I was going to make, he was already gone. The next group came in. I think we slipped through this labyrinth of changing regimes until finally the movie was done. By then, it had become a stable regime, but then, of course, the movie was already made. It was not that I was lying to anybody. It was already in the script, all this ironic stuff, all this hyperbolic stuff, all this playing with fascism or fascist imagery to point out certain aspects of American society, that was all in the script.

The natural wonders of southwestern Saskatchewan include grass, sky, dust, prairie dogs, hawks, clay that turns into devilishly slippery mud, lizards, rattlesnakes, wind, sage and sweeping, sunlit vistas that can leave you speechless.
The marks of human presence include weathered towns, gaunt hamlets, small arenas emblazoned with the names of local boys who made it to the National Hockey League, unbounded grain fields, and, in the town of
Eastend, a few blocks of houses and a small river that became the source of a great book by Wallace Stegner, a graceful and underappreciated writer who spent the formative years of his boyhood in this region.
This is not a place to take lightly. It rewards close attention.
Val Marie is located a little over an hour's drive south of Swift Current. It's a weathered town hanging onto the landscape by sheer determination.
The town consists of a few blocks of houses set in a vast stretch of arid landscape running roughly between Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park in southern Alberta and the Gravelbourg-Wood Mountain area in southern Saskatchewan.
It was originally a French and Catholic settlement, and local farm centre. A few farm services, a hotel with a beer parlour and a small café with uncertain hours remain. Now it's better known as a stopping point at the western boundary of Grasslands National Park.
An older cultural legacy lies a little farther to the west. In Eastend, near a bend in the Frenchman River, is a street with a 90-year-old house, still solid and still inhabited, that was home for a few years to a young Wallace Stegner.
Stegner returned here in about 1950 to do research for a book on forms of local democracy. He was carried away into his past by the scent of a plentiful riverside bush called the wolf willow.
He created Wolf Willow, a combination of memoir, local history and fiction. The book captured a moment of time in a nearly empty place where optimists and eccentrics hoped they could bring civilization to the last bit of the central North American plains remaining open for settlement. Most of them found out why this was the last place to be settled. Even today, tourist literature describes Eastend as being "in the middle of nowhere."
With its homey, welcoming atmosphere, the town has become a small cultural centre where writers have settled and brought fresh life. If you stay for a day's exploring, there's a potter's workshop, a large bookstore, a good local museum and a nearby astronomical observatory established many years ago by a talented amateur who built much of his own equipment.
It's an easy drive through mostly empty landscape to Val Marie and the west block of Grasslands National Park.
The most convenient place to stay is the Convent Inn. It's located in a former Roman Catholic convent and school, turned into a country inn and restaurant by Robert and Mette Ducan. Mette cooks the fine meals. Robert will tell you how to find sites not on tourist maps.
The prize at the end of this journey is the land itself. You can drive into Grasslands Park, but the greatest rewards of the visit go to those who hike across the tough grass and dry, lumpy dirt of some of Canada's last native mixed grass prairie. There's plenty of prickly pear cactus, too.
The country's only prairie dog colonies are easy to find. The rodents obligingly stand sentry outside their holes. They aren't spooked by observers who keep their distance.
Deer are around if you keep your eyes open. Recently re-established bison may take some searching. They sometimes wander into corners of the park.
Unusual birds like Baird's sparrows and lark buntings are plentiful. The endangered sage grouse is best viewed with help from parks staff.
A $5, half-day guided tour led by a park ranger is a great way to learn how to spot smaller features like fragile flowers, funnel-shaped spiderwebs in the grass, reflective chunks of gypsum on a hillside, and teepee rings (circles of stones that held down the sides of teepees for Sioux, Assiniboine and other First Nations that camped here as little as 140 years ago).
After an introduction, the park is best explored on foot, with map, hats, plenty of water, a good sense of direction and a willingness to keep an eye out for details. We passed lichen-encrusted rocks, found other teepee rings, ran across one of the park's short-horned lizards, and made a passing acquaintance with a rattlesnake that obligingly let us know - loud and clear - that it was sunning itself a couple of metres off our hiking path.
The rattle isn't so much the dry, maraca sound of movies. It sounded more like a hissing buzz, but one that was louder and more penetrating than the surrounding background clacking of grasshoppers. The rattle seems to speak to a primal area of your brain. It stops you in your tracks, which is good for all concerned, and gives you time to spot a dusty brown, fat coil a little way off in the grass.
The park as a whole speaks to a more primal self, in the stripped-down language of natural elements. Standing on top of a butte, hawks circling nearby, teepee rings bearing witness to an ephemeral moment in human history, you can look out over a glacial valley two or three kilometres wide and stretching along the course of the Frenchman River for 15 or 20 kilometres with no sign of other people and nothing but the wind to keep you company.
Tips: Eastend and Val Marie both have good municipal campgrounds.
Don't stick your hands where you can't see. Abandoned prairie dog holes are favourite shelter not only for snakes, but also for the equally poisonous black widow spiders native to the region.
Do take a hat and a strong mosquito repellent. West Nile virus is present in the region. Binoculars will help for long-distance viewing and birdwatching.
Reading list: Wolf Willow, by Wallace Stegner; Wood Mountain Poems, by Andrew Suknaski (especially relevant for those going on to the park's east block); Parks Canada websites with a more complete guide to flora and fauna.

Shades of graceful Ichiro in electric Puig
Veteran's effortless style mirrored by Dodgers rookie during quick rise
NEW YORK -- Watching Ichiro Suzuki and Yasiel Puig play right field and swing their bats on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium was like jumping inside a time machine and revisiting masters of previous generations.
Ichiro invariably calls to mind Tony Gwynn, the Padres' Hall of Fame magician with a piece of lumber in his hands. The game Ichiro plays is one of precision, every subtle movement carrying purpose and meaning.
Like Gwynn, Ichiro, the stylish man from Japan, is an artist. Even on the downslope of a remarkable career at age 39, he can seize control of a game in a variety of ways.
In the entertaining opener of a day-night doubleheader taken, 6-4, by the Yankees, Ichiro homered and singled twice, driving in three runs and scoring twice. He also made the play of the game defensively, leaping to rob Adrian Gonzalez of extra bases a moment before Hanley Ramirez's two-run homer, his fourth hit, in the eighth inning.
With Puig unloading his fifth homer in 15 games and Ramirez continuing to pound Yankees pitching, the Dodgers earned a split in the nightcap with a 6-0 victory behind Chris Capuano. With four hits in the two games, also reaching safely when he was hit by a pitch, Puig scored four times. Ichiro was quiet in the second game after making his noise in the opener.
"He's been playing extremely well," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said when asked about Ichirio's offensive surge over the past week. "He has the ability to get really hot. He can do that."
Dodgers rookie southpaw Hyun-Jin Ryu, the victim of Ichiro's third homer of the season, commended the hitter through an interpreter.
"On the home run," Ryu said, "I put the ball exactly where I wanted it -- and he got it in the air and hit it out."
Puig -- a young, ambitious Cuban version of the late, great Roberto Clemente -- needed no interpreter to articulate how amped he was for his debut in the sport's Bronx cathedral. His actions spoke volumes.
In four of his five at-bats during the opener, Puig hit the ball squarely, collecting a double and a single and getting robbed of a third hit by second baseman Robinson Cano. The game ended with matchless Mariano Rivera introducing Yasiel to his third-strike cutter. Puig responded in the nightcap with a bunt single and was hit by a pitch, scoring both times, before going the other way for his homer in the seventh inning against Adam Warren, in relief of Phil Hughes.
In everything he does -- including getting thrown out trying to stretch a routine single to center into a double, as he did in the first inning against Hiroki Kuroda -- Puig oozes excitement and charisma.
"He hits the ball hard, I can tell you," Girardi said of the 22-year-old sensation. "You see that he's an aggressive young player and has tools -- a lot of tools. Speed, power, arm -- we saw the tools in the first inning, what he's able to do.
"It's a game of adjustments ... but there's a lot to like about this kid."
In stark contrast to Ichiro, who improvises cool jazz, Puig is hard rock, charged by electricity. You can't take your eyes off the guy, knowing you might miss something you'll never see again. He's that unique.
A play Puig made on Thomas Neal leading off the second against Ryu -- charging Neal's sharp single and unleashing a throw that skidded past Adrian Gonzalez at first -- characterized the Cuban star's approach to the game: Go hard, go fast and go for the gusto. Ask or take questions later.
"He's a very interesting player," Ichiro said via an interpreter. "He has a lot of impact. You saw it in [Puig] trying to throw out the guy at first -- and running to second on a single through the middle. Big impact."
Puig was a blur bolting for second again, successfully, leading off the eighth on a rocket to left-center.
In his prime with Seattle, Ichiro ran like that and was a peerless defender, earning 10 Rawlings American League Gold Glove Awards. He could throw in Puig's class but never had the raw power of the spectacular Dodgers rookie. Ichiro beat you softly, deftly; Puig looks determined to steamroll you.
Ichiro has played almost as many seasons (13) as Puig has games (15), seven times leading the AL in hits, twice claiming batting titles with averages of .350 in his 2001 AL Rookie of the Year season and .372 in 2004.
After a career spent almost exclusively as a leadoff man for the Mariners before his move to New York in the middle of last season, Ichiro has made the transition to moveable piece in Girardi's offense.
Ichiro started in the No. 6 spot on Wednesday afternoon for just the 18th time in 1,975 Major League games. He has hit everywhere but third and fourth this season for the Yankees.
It seems odd finding Ichiro in a place in the order normally reserved for guys who swing from the heels, not the balls of their feet. But Ichiro is adaptable and amenable at this stage of his career, his meter running.
"I haven't changed anything," Ichiro said in relation to his .400 stretch over seven games, raising his season average to .270.
Pressed about the hot streak, he grinned and said, "I have no idea [why]. Maybe you can ask a fortune teller."
When he cued his two-run single to left in the seventh against Paco Rodriguez for insurance the Yankees would need, Ichiro raised his career average in bases-loaded situations to .403.
The three hits raised his career total to 2,667. Signed through 2014, Ichiro is about two full seasons away from reaching 3,000 in the U.S. and virtually guaranteeing his enshrinement in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Ichiro will be 40 on Oct. 22. As fastidious about his conditioning as any athlete alive, he has experienced only mild erosion of his skills, speed and quickness.
As he wrapped up his interview between games of the doubleheader, Ichiro dropped straight to the floor and begin stretching. He's been doing this since he arrived in North America -- stretching, stretching, reaching for greatness.
Yasiel Puig, the phenom, can only hope to endure as well and as gracefully.

Texting is officially on the decline here in the US—at least via traditional methods. According to a new report by technology consulting firm Chetan Sharma (hat tip to the New York Times), cell phone owners sent fewer texts during the third quarter of 2012 than they did in the previous quarter—down to 678 texts per person from 696. That drop may be relatively small, but it's the first time that the number of per-person texts has gone down in the US.
Does that mean people are actually texting less, though? Not really—the advent of other kinds of direct messaging, like Beluga, Facebook, iMessage, Google+ Messenger, and others have begun to replace the old-fashioned SMS. In fact, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson spoke openly about iMessage eating away at the carrier's SMS revenue in May of this year: "Apple iMessage is a classic example. If you're using iMessage, you're not using one of our messaging services, right? That's disruptive to our messaging revenue stream," he said, according to the Times.
But whether you're just texting less because you're tired of communicating with people via tiny keyboards or because you've switched to another service, it does seem like the old way of texting is on the decline. Since the advent of direct messages on Twitter (2006), combined with the launch of iMessage last year, my own SMS use has dropped dramatically. While I used to subscribe to the 1,500 monthly SMS plan through AT&T, I'm now somewhere closer to the 200-per-month range. (Curse those Android-using friends of mine! Just kidding.)
So we want to know: are you texting less? If so, why? Vote in our poll below and tell us why you're texting less, the same, or more than you once were. (And remember, kids, never text and drive!)

NFL Football 2013: 5 Things We Learned From Week 8
Spectacular individual performances highlighted the Week 8 NFL action. Here's what we learned on Sunday:
Aaron Rodgers Is Still a Winner
Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 29 passes for 285 yards and two scores, and Green Bay rolled over Minnesota, 44-31. Even though these teams met in last season's NFC playoffs, the Packers (5-2) have stayed among the conference's best teams, while the Vikings (1-6) have not. Much of the credit for Green Bay's continued success goes to Rodgers, who has put up MVP-like numbers even with injuries to receiver James Jones and tight end Jermichael Finley and the defection of Greg Jennings to Minnesota. Jennings had just one catch in Sunday's game, and he embraced Rodgers on the field afterward. Maybe he was asking his former teammate to rescue him from the listless Vikings?
Marvin Jones Plays Wide Receiver for the Bengals
Andy Dalton threw five touchdown passes, and Cincinnati clobbered the N.Y. Jets, 49-9. The score showed the Bengals (6-2) are a real playoff contender in 2013, especially when a reserve wide receiver like Marvin Jones gets career highs of eight catches, 122 yards and four touchdowns against a Rex Ryan secondary. Jones and budding superstar A.J. Green give Dalton two stellar targets. The Jets (4-4) joined in the touchdown pass barrage, too: rookie quarterback Geno Smith had two interceptions returned for scores by the Bengals' defense.
The Broncos Can Score Points Fast
After Peyton Manning had an interception returned 26 yards for a touchdown by DeAngelo Hall, the Redskins held a 21-7 second-half lead over Denver. Big trouble? Yes, for Washington (2-5): the Broncos (7-1) scored the last 38 points en route to a 45-21 win. While Manning threw three interceptions and fumbled on Sunday, he also had 354 passing yards and four TDs. Redskins' second-year quarterback Robert Griffin III had three turnovers of his own and left with a knee injury in the second half. The win came at the expense of former Broncos' coach Mike Shanahan, who could be spending his last days in D.C. if this losing trend continues.
Terrelle Pryor Is a Record-Setting QB
Raiders' quarterback Terrelle Pryor is an impact player, but usually not as quickly as he was during Sunday's 21-18 win over Pittsburgh. Pryor broke loose on a 93-yard touchdown run on Oakland's first play from scrimmage. The gallop set an NFL record for the longest touchdown run ever by a quarterback, and the Raiders (3-4) never trailed in the game. The Steelers (2-5) made it interesting by rallying within three points late in the fourth quarter, but they could not notch their third win in a row. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger did some running of his own, mostly away from the Raider pass rush which sacked him five times.
Matthew Stafford & Calvin Johnson Make People Mad
Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten argued on the sideline at the end of the Cowboys' 31-30 loss to Detroit on Sunday. While the two players had to be separated, no one could blame them for being frustrated by the Cowboys (4-4) lack of ability to stop the Lions (5-3), namely quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson. The duo hooked up 14 times for a staggering 329 yards and a score, but it was Stafford's fake spike and dive over the goal line that won the game for Detroit. The angriest Cowboy? Likely Jerry Jones, the owner who signs all of their pay checks.

Blue Jays - 200 001 010 - 4 10 0Listened to all of this one on the drive home last night.
Red Sox - 000 000 001 - 1 7 0
Spent the first four innings with the Blue Jays crew, who were actually pretty good -- meaning they simply called the game and did not dwell on any stupid shit or cliches. When that signal faded -- it was never super strong to begin with -- I re-scanned the dial, and got the Red Sox team for the last five frames. They were on 1080 AM, which was coming from Hartford.
It was Halladay's eighth complete game of the season. As both broadcasting teams kept noting, that is more than all but two major league teams! Cleveland has nine and the Brewers have eight. Fifteen teams -- half the teams in MLB -- have two or fewer.
The Rangers shutout the Rays 3-0 while the Yankees beat the Royals 3-2 in 13.
Boston is 3.5 GB while the Yankees are a distant 9.5 GB -- quite close to the 4th place Blue Jays, at 11.5 GB. The Red Sox lead the wild card race by 1.5 games over the Twins and White Sox.
Roy Halladay (2.72, 155 ERA+) / Paul Byrd (4.53, 96 ERA+)

When Ryonen relaxes, she has a way of getting everyone else excited. Today is no exception.
She slips so smoothly into the water as if she is entering the arms of a lover. The water holds and caresses her all over. It supports her in its embrace as though it is in love with her. As it laps round her breasts and nipples it seems to kiss her gently. Tantalisingly her nipples respond. Beauty as serene as Ryonen's deserves time to be gazed on. Soak it up.
Immerse yourself in her.

Rivers says roles won't change without Rondo
Rajon Rondo out for season with torn ACL
Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce showed up for his pre-practice meeting with reporters carrying a basketball, which he bounced from time to time while answering questions.
Get used to it: Pierce will have the ball in his hands a lot more from now on.
Two days after learning that Rajon Rondo has a torn knee ligament that will keep him out the rest of the season, the Celtics returned to practice for the first time to work on an extended future without the All-Star point guard. Pierce is the most likely player to handle the ball at key points in the game, but coach Doc Rivers says everyone will have to work to replace Rondo.
"It's just basketball," he said. "There's no point guard. It's just basketball by committee. I don't want a guy thinking now he's Rondo."
Rondo was averaging 13.7 points, 11.1 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game, with triple-doubles in back-to-back games when he was scratched from Sunday's game against the defending NBA-champion Miami Heat. He was sent to the hospital to check on what the team believed was a hyperextended right knee.
The actual diagnosis: A torn anterior cruciate ligament that required surgery and a recovery period of up to a year.
"Everybody was in a fog almost," center Kevin Garnett said at the team's workout facility. "I think it's kind of settling in and I think everybody is trying to put their arms around the concept that he's actually hurt, hurt to the point where he can't play. That's what had everybody in a fog, even him.
"He came in this morning and seeing him in there was kind of unreal. The fact that it is real, everybody is going to consolidate and pick up the pieces and try to carry this thing."
Rondo was injured in a double-overtime loss to Atlanta on Friday night, a game in which the Celtics blew a 27-point lead. Despite playing without their floor leader on Sunday — players didn't know the extent of the injury until after the game — they beat the Heat in Boston in double overtime to improve to 21-23 and hold onto a 2½-game lead over Philadelphia for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.
They are back at the TD Garden on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Rivers said he isn't sure who will bring the ball up the court — it will probably change from game to game depending on what the opponent is doing — but once the offense is set up he will expect everyone to be involved.
That's the way the Celtics played against Miami on Sunday.
Now they need to do it the rest of the season.
"It's a no-point-guard system," Rivers said, noting that his second unit has been playing that way all season. "Now the entire team needs to do it. We have a lot of guards. We just don't have a lot of point guards."
Rivers said Courtney Lee, who has been averaging 7.2 points and 1.4 assists in 22 minutes, will start for now. Leandro Barbosa, Avery Bradley, Jeff Green and Jason Terry will also have the ball more without Rondo on the floor.
"I don't know if that's a role I'm going to have," said Barbosa, who backed up Steve Nash in Phoenix and is averaging 4.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in 11 minutes in his first season with the Celtics. "I'm not Rajon Rondo; I'm Leandro Barbosa. What I'm going to do is different for the team.
"I will do my best, but I'm not a point guard; I'm a shooting guard. I will do my best, but I'm not a Rajon Rondo."
There is also the possibility that general manager Danny Ainge would sign a player; former Celtic Keyon Dooling, who's working for the team in community relations, has been mentioned as a possibility. The Celtics, who were already languishing below .500, could also trade one of their stars and begin rebuilding.
"Danny has not brought up anything," Rivers said.
Rivers said he won't worry about Pierce being asked to do too much.
"I don't think Miami worries about running too much through LeBron (James)," he said. "I don't think the Lakers worry about running too much through Kobe (Bryant)."

My biggest fear when I was pregnant with Hudson was getting into a crash. I was petrified. What would happen if the airbag hit my tummy? What would happen to my boy? I avoided driving like the plague. Unless I absolutely had to I would stay at home. I really wish the Tummy Shield was around when I had him because I would've felt comfortable driving ALL the time.
What is the Tummy Shield? It is the ONLY crash-tested pregnancy seat belt adjuster that actually protects baby in the event of a crash, the Tummy Shield:
A little piece of insurance and a lot of peace of mind!
Thank goodness I planned ahead and got this before my next baby.. I won't have to worry when the time comes..

>What's the advantage now?
Becuause then, like ALL objects, there are STANDARD ways to deal with strings.
Since a String-variable is an Object, it has properties, such as .Length,
and standard methods, such as .Compare, .EndsWith, and .ToLower. In addtiion,
since ALL strings derive from the Base Object class, then a String variable
can be passed to a more generic Function, which can accept and work on a
variable of TYPE Object, rather than a String alone. So for instance, it
becomes possible, with .NET, to write a GENERIC SORT routine, which can sort
OBJECTS, rather than having to write an Integer Sort, and a separate String

This is the second in a five-part series defining success for retirement plan advisors by Liz Davidson, who as president of Financial Finesse has a unique vision of who the most successful retirement plan advisors are, and what they have in common.–Ed.
In my last article for AdvisorOne, I talked about the three most common traits I've seen in highly successful retirement plan advisors. Though unique in their personalities and businesses and how they operate those businesses, they all possess similar qualities that have led to their success. The advisors and industry professionals I see who are truly successful at what they do complement their vision with an ability to execute their vision brilliantly. They are often the ones who develop a practical and useful service and put the right team in place, leading them in a way that encourages and fosters creative, problem-solving thinking. They're the ones who stay focused on the areas where they do their best work and they're the advisors whose businesses are able to grow quickly because they don't get held up by politics or operational processes that hinder the innovative processes.
Trisha Brambley of Retirement Playbook Inc. stands out in my mind as one of these professionals. She not only possesses an ability to recognize market trends far ahead of most of her peers, but she knows how to execute on them by leveraging her acquired skills, expertise and personality traits.
Trisha (left) was not only a key member involved in implementing the country's first 401(k) plan, working with its accredited creator, Ted Benna, but she spearheaded one of the first retirement plan advisory firms in 1995. She has been named one of the most influential advisors in the country many times in her career, including making the Top 100 Retirement Plan Advisors list four years in a row, Top Retirement Plan Consultant, and Top 300 most influential people in the retirement industry four times. She speaks on many national forums that focus on retirement plan issues, including the Profit Sharing Council of America and the Center for Due Diligence and served on the DOL's ERISA Advisory Council for three years, preparing DOL recommendations on target date fund analysis, stable value issues and participant financial education. She even served as Vice Chair of the Council in 2008 and as Chair for the study of stable value funds in 2009. She's done so much in the industry it would probably take me fifty more pages to get it all down on paper.
Today, Trisha is spawning an entirely new industry centered on unbiased consultative services to plan sponsors and non-profit organizations around finding and managing plan advisors. Separately, her firm provides sales training for plan advisors to help them better understand plan sponsors' most pressing issues around their plans and how to address them. This business is another result of her knack for identifying niches she could completely own—areas that weren't too crowded and could allow her to separate herself from other advisors the industry. Her approach has led her to succeed with nearly everything she does. At one point she managed assets totaling just under $2 billion during her career as an advisor.
What Sets Trisha Brambley Apart
There are two key drivers to her success that I have personally learned from and successfully applied to our business, and that I believe every advisor should adopt, regardless of their business model:
Driver 1: Identify problem areas that aren't being addressed by the industry and seek to be the solution.
Trisha has been able to identify what clients need and provide a feasible solution to them. Her latest endeavor, an independent firm, Retirement Playbook, is already turning a profit in less than a year and a half. Like 15 years ago when she launched her first business, and even 30 years prior when she joined Ted Benna on the first 401(k) plan, Trisha recognized what the industry lacked; she noticed no one was providing plan sponsors with an expert in the room to help them choose a plan advisor in the first place. Often , plan committees had an advisor but no idea what they did with their plan or what they should be looking for in an advisors.
Trisha was able to deliver a new kind of service that helped plan sponsors identify advisors through a rigorous search process that not only could hold up in a court battle around ERISA regulations, but also helped plan sponsors save in costs and put the best plan in place for her clients' employee bases. She was able to do this through not only listening to her clients, but by seeing the trends in the industry early on, or as she calls it, standing at the bow of the ship. If you stand at the front, you'll see all the waves before the other passengers on board. The key, however, is knowing what to do about them.
While Trisha has natural abilities here, there are some good lessons that any advisor can apply to grow their business:
Consciously looking for emerging growth areas and then matching those areas to their own strengths and expertise to determine how to refine their business models or products/services to stay ahead of industry trends. Admittedly, some people are better at this than others, but every single advisor can carve out the time to make this a conscious process.
Asking clients what they see as emerging growth areas, and regularly reviewing these conversations to identify patterns and trends in where the industry is going and what problems are not being solved that you, the advisor, are uniquely capable of solving (ideally at an attractive price and with strong margins).
Immersing oneself in the industry. It's tempting to limit your focus to the business at hand, but if you do this too often you end up with tunnel vision. It's critical to find the time to go to conferences, network with peers and read leading industry publications. Often, this can be done in conjunction with sales/marketing efforts—i.e., setting up appointments with prospects who are also attending industry events, using the opportunity at these events to recruit new employees that you need to add, or finding interesting data from publications you can use in your presentations to clients.
In his legendary business book Built to Last, Jim Collins talks about what he calls "the genius of the AND"—that is, accomplishing two seemingly competing priorities by finding ways to combine them. In today's crazy world, if you aren't accomplishing multiple objectives from virtually everything you do, you'll end up working far too many hours, never achieving your goals, or both.
Driver 2: Determining the highest and best use of her time, and complimenting her skills by hiring and partnering with people who could round out her strengths, and in some cases, compensate for her weaknesses.
One of the hardest things for any human being to do (let alone a very busy advisor running his or her own firm) is to view themselves objectively. Having spoken with and worked with thousands of advisors over the course of my career, my experience is that the vast majority fall into one of two categories: They underestimate their strengths because those strengths come so naturally that they don't even see how unique their talents are and how valuable they are to building a successful business. Or they are blind to their weaknesses or misguidedly determined to do that dangerous thing that conventional wisdom tells us: Improve thy weaknesses.
All the latest research on human development from the fields of management, neuroscience and psychology is clear—we are very limited in our capacity to improve areas of weaknesses but nearly unlimited in our ability to leverage and continually develop and grow in the areas in which we are truly gifted. Trisha innately understood this very early on. She's one of the few advisors (or entrepreneurs for that matter) that I've ever known to accurately and insightfully identify both what she does well and what she's not good at—without ego or blind spots getting in the way.
As a result, she has been able to focus her time on the things she does exceptionally well—identifying growth areas and opportunities, building relationships, setting vision and strategic direction and finding and mentoring an excellent team of people to execute on the direction. And she has been able to effectively delegate tasks and projects to people who are more suited to perform them—without feeling the need to micromanage, something notoriously difficult but absolutely essential for success.
The lesson here is for advisors to take pains to peel back the layers and understand themselves deeply—what can also be called the good, bad and the ugly—so that they can fully leverage their talents for the good of their businesses and their clients. This also allows them to find excellent partners and team members to fill in on areas where they are not skilled. None of us is truly effective alone; behind every single success story there is inevitably a visionary, a strategist, an executor and often a whole host of people there to lend their support and advice. The key is knowing which role you are suited for and finding those people who can fill in the blanks.
What Trisha has been able to do is quite incredible considering she's done it with a small team at both her companies while having a huge impact on the industry. She'll tell you that anyone can do this and she's probably right.
To conclude, those who will stand apart from the rest in a space that's become more crowded than ever do three things well. They listen intently to clients' unspoken requests, they take chances on solutions to industry problem areas and they seek out the right kind of people to work with so that their businesses not only operate well but thrive.

Theo Epstein, 1:45 PM:
John Henry, Tom Werner, Larry Lucchino, Ben Cherington and I met with Terry Francona this morning at Fenway Park to exchange thoughts and information on the 2011 season and discuss areas for improvement going forward. We all plan on taking some time to process the thoughts expressed in the meeting. There are no immediate plans for an announcement.
Gordon Edes, 11:06 AM:
Terry Francona told Boston Red Sox staff members on Thursday that he will not be returning as manager, a club source said on Friday.
Ken Rosenthal, Fox Sports:
Terry Francona will meet with Red Sox management on Friday morning, and the expected resolution is that he no longer will be the team's manager, major league sources say.Daryl Van Schouwen, Chicago Sun-Times:
While Francona's departure is not certain, it is the likely outcome, in part because he is pressing for a resolution, sources say. He would not be fired; the Red Sox would simply decline their club options on him for 2012 and '13.
Francona has had enough of his eroding Boston experience, a major-league source said, and will ask the club not to exercise the option on his contract.The Red Sox front office is smart enough to know that dumping Francona would not solve any of the problems that led to their collapse. And I have no doubt that Theo Epstein was telling the truth yesterday when he said:
"He has had his fill of the whole thing," the source told the Sun-Times.
[N]obody blames what happened in September on Tito. It would be totally irresponsible and totally short-sighted. ... [W]e don't believe in scapegoats, and in particular no one blames Tito for what happened in September. We all failed collectively.Gordon Edes was on ESPN late last night saying that it's possible the team wanted to make a change but are content to make it look like Tito's decision. I would assume that if Francona was leaving it was because he wanted to leave, but there is always more going on behind the scenes that we will never know about.
At yesterday's press conference, Francona admitted that he had called a team meeting on September 7, after the Red Sox had beaten the Blue Jays 14-0. (my emphasis)
This team I think became challenging at the end. There were some things I was worried about. We were spending too much energy on things that weren't putting our best foot forward toward winning. We spent a few minutes in the clubhouse that day talking about that. There were some things that did concern me. Normally as the season progresses, there are events that make you care about each other, and this club, it didn't always happen as much as I wanted it to. And I was frustrated by that.The Herald reports:
Francona was in part annoyed over complaints about the buses to the ballpark and wanted players to focus their energy more positively.More Francona:
Meanwhile, a number of players put themselves into a position to have their professionalism called into question. According to multiple sources, more than one pitcher drank beer in the clubhouse during games on the days he didn't pitch.
While clubhouse imbibing is a tradition as old as baseball itself ... the Red Sox also had a number of players break down during the season, suggesting that they weren't taking proper care of themselves.
Ultimately you don't need a team that wants to go out to dinner together. But you need a team that wants to protect each other on the field and be fiercely loyal to each other on the field. That's what ultimately is really important. ... I wanted us to handle things on the field a little bit better than we did. At times, we just didn't get there and it was very difficult.Theo Epstein:
[W]e did sense that things weren't right. A lot of things went wrong and a lot of things had to go wrong for us to blow the lead but they did. I don't think any of them were completely unforeseen. We tried different things. I know Tito talked about his meeting in Toronto. I actually addressed the team later on in the month before a game. ... There was a lot of talent in that clubhouse and we didn't get results commensurate with that talent.Francona will meet with Epstein and the ownership group at 10 AM this morning.
Of all the possible changes the team could make this winter, this is probably the most surprising - and depressing.

Algeria hostage crisis ends; death toll unclear
- Terrorists link the takeover at gas complex to the French fighting in Mali
- Algerian soldiers quickly surrounded the facility in the Sahara desert
- Algeria has not confirmed reports of deaths
Algerian special forces completed an operation to free hostages from a natural gas complex deep in the Sahara Desert, but the army provided no information on the death toll, Algeria's state news agency reported Thursday.
Reports on the crisis have been conflicting.
A U.S. official said late Thursday that while some Americans escaped, other Americans remained either held or unaccounted for, the Associated Press reported. The official spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
The attack by Algerian forces killed the leader of the Islamic terrorist group that orchestrated the hostage-taking as well as at least 14 other terrorists, according to Mauritanian news agency ANI. The kidnappers come from Algeria, Canada, Mali, Egypt, Niger and Mauritania, ANI said.
The Algerian state news agency ANP said the operation involved airstrikes and a ground operation to free the hostages, some of whom were picked up by military helicopters. Algerian TV had said that four foreign workers — two Britons and two Filipinos — died in the operation and that 600 hostages were freed.
However, a spokesman for the terror group Qatiba told a Mauritanian news outlet that Algerian military helicopters strafed the gas complex, killing 35 foreign hostages — including five Americans — and 15 militants, the Associated Press is reporting. Seven survived, including two Americans, the spokesman told AP.
Reuters, citing an Algerian security source, is reporting that 30 hostages were killed, including seven foreigners and eight Algerians. Among the foreigners were two Britons, two Japanese and one French national.
The source also says 11 militants died, including the group's leader, Tahar Ben Cheneb, described as a "prominent commander in the region."
Adding to the confusion was an earlier AP report, citing an unnamed Algerian official, that as many as 20 foreign hostages, including an unknown number of Americans, had escaped their captors.
Stephen McFaul, an Irish engineer who escaped, reported seeing Algerian forces attack Jeeps containing hostages who were being moved inside the complex, his brother told Reuters. Four vehicles blew up, and McFaul's vehicle crashed, allowing him to flee.
McFaul said the militants hung explosives around the hostages' necks.
The spokesman for Qatiba, which had earlier claimed responsibility for Wednesday's hostage-taking, said Abou El Baraa, the leader of the kidnappers, was among militants killed in the Algerian army's helicopter attack.
Qatiba, which translates as Signers in Blood, was created in December by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who broke off for unknown reasons from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
British oil giant BP's Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley released a statement saying that "Sadly, there have been some reports of casualties, but we are still lacking any confirmed or reliable information."
Britain's Foreign Office warned that "We should be under no illusion that there will be some bad and distressing news to follow from this terrorist attack."
White House spokesman Jay Carney said U.S. officials were still gathering details. "We condemn in the strongest terms a terrorist attack on BP personnel and facilities in Algeria, and we are closely monitoring the situation," he said.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton ordered a security review for diplomats, civilians and business across North Africa.
The Algerian military's handling of the hostage situation fits their overall approach to terrorists, says Geoff Porter of North Africa Risk Consulting, a political risk consultancy that specializes in North Africa.
"They don't negotiate with terrorists, and they don't pay ransoms," Porter said.
One of the reasons oil installations have never been attacked before is any attack would be a suicide mission, Porter said. The oil facilities are so remote and in such barren terrain, that attacks are doable, "but the Algerians would deploy helicopters and kill everybody," he said.
Escape would be impossible, but a suicide mission "becomes more feasible, which is what we saw today," Porter said.
In recent months, the United States has been courting Algeria in an unprecedented fashion. Clinton has twice visited Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
Algerian leaders, however, have repeatedly warned against Western intervention in the region. Algeria warned that the NATO operation in Libya, which defeated former leader Moammar Gadhafi, would destabilize the region, and that the French intervention in Mali would do the same, Porter said.
"They (Algerians) are likely to feel vindicated, and to reject any criticism for their reaction to a domestic crisis they feel were brought about by Western actions they advised against," Porter said.
Algeria's priority is "to restore stability and deter future incidents," Porter said.
Algerian soldiers surrounded the facility near In Amenas after kidnappers occupied it Wednesday. The militants appeared to have no escape, as Algerian troops surrounded the facility and army helicopters clattered overhead.
The Qatiba spokesman told Mauritanian news website Sahara Media Agency on Wednesday that the attack on the gas facility was in retaliation for Algeria's decision to allow French aircraft to use its airspace in its intervention in Mali. Experts say Qatiba is closely associated with or simply another name for Masked Brigades.
The spokesman, pictured in a black turban and an automatic weapon in front of a jihadist flag, said his group took 41 foreigners hostage, including Americans, French, British and Japanese nationals.
The spokesman added that there were 400 Algerian soldiers on site, but said his group had not targeted the soldiers. None of the information from the Mauritanian site could be independently verified.
The United States military has a quick reaction force capable of deploying quickly to Algeria, according to a military official who declined to be named because they are not authorized to speak about the issue. The Pentagon also has "capabilities" to watch over the region, though officials would not specify whether that involves manned aircraft or drones.
Japanese news agencies, citing unnamed government officials, said there are three Japanese hostages.
"I want to say this is unforgivable," said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was traveling from Vietnam to Thailand on Thursday as part of a Southeast Asian tour.
"Our first priority is to protect their lives," Abe said of the hostages. Japanese and U.S. officials were meeting in Tokyo to cooperate in resolving the crisis, and Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera called for close exchange of information between the two governments.
Late Wednesday, Statoil said five employees — four Norwegians and a Canadian — were safe at an Algerian military camp and two of them had suffered minor injuries. It said 12 employees were unaccounted for.
Six people were wounded in the attack, including two foreigners, two police officers and two security agents, Algeria's state news agency reported.
Algeria's top security official, Interior Minister Daho Ould Kabila, said that "security forces have surrounded the area and cornered the terrorists, who are in one wing of the complex's living quarters."
"We reject all negotiations with the group," Kabila said on national television.
Hundreds of Algerians work at the plant and were taken in the attack but the state news agency reported that they have gradually been released in small groups.
Wednesday's attack began with the ambush of a bus carrying employees from the gas plant to the nearby airport but the attackers were driven off, according to the Algerian government, which said three vehicles of heavily armed men were involved.
"After their failed attempt, the terrorist group headed to the complex's living quarters and took a number of workers with foreign nationalities hostage," said the statement.
Al-Qaeda's influence in the poorly patrolled desert wastes of southern Algeria and northern Mali and Niger has grown. The group operates smuggling and kidnapping networks throughout the area. Militant groups that seized control of northern Mali already hold seven French hostages as well as four Algerian diplomats.
Algeria's security forces have struggled for years against Islamist extremists, and have in recent years managed to nearly snuff out violence by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (northwest Africa) around its home base in northern Algeria. In the meantime, AQIM moved its focus southward.
AQIM has made tens of millions of dollars off kidnapping in the region, abducting Algerian businessmen or political figures, and sometimes foreigners, for ransom.
The attack is the first time the country's hydrocarbon industry was targeted since the 1990s, Porter said.
Even during the worst of the Islamist violence in the 1990s, Algeria's hydrocarbon infrastructure was never attacked," Porter said. "This is a real departure."
Algerian leaders adopted an eradication policy against Islamist insurgents in a war that cost more than 100,000 lives. The insurgents eventually accepted amnesty and renounced violence. Remnants of the insurgency have been fighting for an Islamic state in northern Mali, Porter said.
All three AQIM factions in North Africa and the Sahara were "on a downward trend" until 2012, Porter said. The collapse of Libya, which allowed weapons from Gadhafi's vast arsenal to be seized by extremists, "helped them gain power in northern Mali and the group has transformed from 2011 and 2012," he said.
While not all the jihadi factions involved in violence across the region call themselves al-Qaeda or are officially affiliated with the group, their goals tend to be the same, Porter said.
"The goal is still spread radical Islam, attack the near enemy, attack the far enemy, create a sharia state — it's just no longer called al-Qaeda," he said.
Aaron Zelin, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that while al-Qaeda is "probably the weakest it's ever been," the jihadist movement has adapted and has strengthened in North Africa.
"The central organization has been weakened, but the branches have gotten stronger because a lot of them are more embedded within the local milieu," he said.
In its new form, al-Qaeda and its jihadi affiliates and sympathizers are less able to launch attacks on the USA or Europe, where security is better than a decade ago, and more focused on "setting up little emirates" and threatening U.S. and Western interests in their own countries, Zelin said.
"They want to bleed the U.S. and its allies dry and exhaust them over a long period of time," he said.

Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
From Ain't It Cool News.
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
I don't know about this one. I mean Dumb & Dummer was a good flick, given I still use some of the lines from the movie.
HEY! Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world.........EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Anyways, with the fall of the prequel, I don't know if Daniels or Carrey would be up for it since Carrey is trying to focus more on dramatic acting rather than goofy comedy slapstick stuff. That's just my opinion.
Schmoyoho-oh-oh-oh accent on the YO!
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
Really? Not sure how I feel about this. I guess I'd like it as long as it does the first one justice, unlike the crappy prequel.
Even if the Farrelly's develop a good idea and a good script, I'm not sure if Jim Carrey and/or Jeff Daniels would go for it because a.) Jim said he didn't want to do anymore sequels and b.) does anyone even know what Daniels is up to these days?
All of that being said, if there's a good script and the actors go for it, I'm all in.
To God, every living being is beautiful... Except for you.
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
Jeff's really into his music and theatre now.....
y'know, normally i would say no to sequels but there was something about D&D which makes me think it might really work....on the other hand it could be a total bomb.......it would depend how it's handled.....if it's in a Mathau/Lemmon style then it might be Really good ......ie sensitively done......
but it could also destroy their credibilility as actors.........hmmmm...
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
I don't think it's going to work. Like everyone said, the director is caught up in a lot of projects. Plus Jim works with dramatic movie ideas rather than slapstick.
Good thought, but I'm gonna have to say no on this one
Schmoyoho-oh-oh-oh accent on the YO!
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
i highly doubt he does it. he's not one to do sequals... daniels lives in michigan and does a lot of local shows and such, so i dont think he's too busy... i just dont see it happening. you know as much as we complain about it being done though, we'll all be there for the opening show!
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
ahhhh.........i've got a soft spot for Jeff... .....we chatted once on myspace...
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
"We got no food, no jobs... our PETS' HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!" lol Dumb and Dumber is awesome! I hope Jim makes a sequel!
- louhop23 - A VERY proud fan of Jim Carrey!
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
Well, while promoting "Mr. Popper Penguins" Jim did mention he was up to "revisit some old characters" and he did mention "Dumb and Dumber" and "Bruce Almighty".
It really depends on a lot of factors but it seems to me like 20 years later he is actually open to do it.
Let us pray it will work:
"Oh my Boing! Enlighten Jim's hand, protected us from haters and stockarazzis and show us the path of pure Boing. Boing!" Lololololol
Sorry poeple, couldn't resist!
I'm a guardian of the spark...
I'm a God damn and proud good fan... and I love it! = )>
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
well said Eva.

Exclusive: Dumb and Dumber 2 Begins Production This September
[...] "We're getting set to shoot 'Dumb and Dumber 2' in September," says Peter Farrelly. "It's the first sequel we've ever done and we've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back." "We did not do 'Dumb and Dumberer'," he continues. "That was a studio thing. So we've always wanted to do a sequel and finally Jim called up. Jeff always wanted to do it. We always wanted to do it. Jim was busy, but he called and said, 'We've got to do this thing again.' He had just watched 'Dumb and Dumber' and he said, 'This is the perfect sequel. Let's do it.'" [...]
Re: Dumb and Dumber sequel? Really?
As this one has developed i've become more and more convinced this is going to be a massive film for Jim and Jeff. I've pretty much always felt D&D was one of Jims best films because it wasn't just mindless humour, the characters had pathos, we liked them....
I'm 100% for this film but i gotta say i think Damn Yankees should be put to rest.......musicals aren't doing well unless you're after the teenage girls or gay markets....

Philosophy of Law: Introduction
John M. Finnis, PHILOSOPHY OF LAW: COLLECTED ESSAYS VOLUME IV, Oxford: OUP, 2011
Oxford Legal Studies Research Paper No. 30/2011
20 Pages Posted: 24 May 2011 Last revised: 19 Aug 2011
Date Written: February 25, 2011
This Introduction to my 'Philosophy of Law: Collected Essays Volume IV' (Oxford University Press 2011), published in the United Kingdom in early April, and in the United States in early May 2011, introduces the volume's 22 published and unpublished essays, and follows the volume's division into four Parts: Foundations of Law's Authority; Theories and Theorists of Law; Legal Reasoning; and the Two Senses of "Legal System." The first half of the Introduction is, in effect, a brief new essay on the foundations of the positivity of positive law, revisiting issues taken up in chapter I of Natural Law and Natural Rights and issues involved in the so-called sources thesis and in the labeling of theories as "positivist." Later parts of the Introduction indicate some patterns emergent in the volume's many essays on particular theorists and theories; review the bearing of the "one-right answer" thesis on legal reasoning and some prime examples of judicial misreasoning; and the relation of the idea of "legal system" to issues around the emergence of independent states in the British Empire, and around Britain's absorption into and subjection to the European Union. The Introduction, like the volume, intersects with the Introductions to, and contents of, each of the other volumes in the five-volume set, which is published just before the second edition of Natural Law and Natural Rights, reformatted to accompany the set and incorporating a 65-page Postscript. The Collected Essays are I Reason in Action, II Intention and Identity, III Human Rights and Common Good, IV Philosophy of Law, V Religion and Public Reasons. Each volume includes the index for the set, and the author's bibliography.
Keywords: philosophy of law, moral and political philosophy, theology, religious ethics, Catholic Church

On Thursday this week, the Wall Street Journal published information claiming that Apple is working on a Pandora-like music service to allow iOS users to create custom radio stations to stream wherever they go. The New York Times soon followed up with its own report on the story—citing its own sources—claiming the service would likely come as a preinstalled app on iOS devices that could determine a user's tastes based on what was purchased from their iTunes accounts. The WSJ indicated the service would also be available on Macs and PCs, but probably not on Android devices.
For those who have followed Apple news and rumors for years, this one sounds familiar. That's because rumblings about Apple's alleged plans to launch a streaming/subscription music service date back to (at least) 2007, when Apple apparently indicated to INTENT MediaWorks CEO Les Ottolenghi that a subscription music service—as opposed to iTunes' current download model—was imminent. The rumor popped up years later when it was believed that Apple would charge $10 to $15 per month for a music subscription.
These rumors were only bolstered by Apple's 2009 acquisition of CD-trading-turned-music-streaming service Lala, even though Apple later tried to "clarify" that it didn't want to undermine its download options by launching any kind of cloud streaming option. The company eventually rolled out iTunes Match in late 2011, which allows users to listen to their iTunes-purchased music over the cloud on supported devices (iOS devices, Macs and PCs with iTunes, and Apple TVs).
But iTunes Match is no Pandora, or Last.fm, or Rdio, or Spotify. It's mostly dependent upon the customer continuing to purchase individual songs from the iTunes Store, though users can also use iTunes Match to match ripped MP3s. When all you want to do is choose a genre or song to start from and be taken on a musical journey from there, the options available from Apple are limited. That's part of why services like Pandora (and now Spotify Radio) have gained such popularity in recent years—many people who were once dedicated iTunes buyers have since moved onto one of the many streaming services available to us.
Hell, even my physical therapist told me that she, her friends, and her colleagues had all switched away from buying iTunes music to listening to Pandora. Even if Pandora isn't your streaming service of choice, it's clear that even the general public is beginning to look at other options.
And that's the most likely reason why Apple would want to follow suit. The Times cited analyst Michael Pachter asking what's in it for Apple: "Pandora already does a great job, so does iHeartRadio, so does Last.fm. Why do we need another one?"
The answer is because Pandora, iHeartRadio, Last.fm, and the others aren't feeding money through Apple. It doesn't matter that advertising in audio streams—which Apple is rumored to be planning for its Pandora clone—doesn't bring in much revenue, and it matters even less that all these services already offer apps for Apple's products. The Times report estimates that the Internet radio business accounts for "less than $1 billion a year in revenue," but that's $1 billion that Apple is currently getting no part of.
If it's true that Apple is again in talks to launch a streaming service—and I'm inclined to believe that it's at least possible, given the leaks to high-profile publications like the WSJ and NYTimes—then it's most likely because Apple simply wants a slice of the streaming pie. iTunes remains wildly popular (it's still the number one music retailer in the US, after all) but longtime users have wandering eyes. Non-Apple streaming services are breaking into the mainstream and Apple may not want to miss that boat when it comes to bringing in revenue from its millions of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users. The fact that we already have plenty of other streaming options is practically irrelevant to Apple, because none of those options keep Apple's user base planted where the company thinks they belong: in Apple's ecosystem.
