Flanked on one side by the River Cam with its many Cambridge University college boathouses, Midsummer Common is an ancient area of grassland that thrusts into the heart of Cambridge City. For many centuries fairs and other events have been staged on the Common and this tradition continues today. At other times cattle graze the land bringing the country into the City. Friends of Midsummer Common (FoMC) is a group of Cambridge people who are concerned with the good management and responsible use of this ancient grassland. FoMC established and looks after the Community Orchard on part of the Common. Volunteers help plant trees and wildflowers, cut grass and clear weeds in a sociable environment. Our mission is to make the Common a place for everyone to enjoy. FoMC welcomes new members from any part of Cambridge.

How do you get paid for your time?
I don't.
And you can't buy it either.
I get paid for results.
I sell your book, I get 15% of the proceeds.
All of the work you see here on the blog, or that you get at a conference is unpaid.
Why would anyone do that you ask?
Well, I ask myself that question sometimes too.
The real answer is: the value of something is not always measured by what you're paid for it.
I value the camaraderie here on the blog more than any amount I'd be able to charge you to read it.
I value the thanks I receive from writers who've been helped by QueryShark more than any amount of money.
I value how much I've learned about writing by having to write this blog.
I value how I've learned to explain things by answering questions.
I value the varying perspectives I've heard from the comments on the blog posts.
And you simply can not put a dollar amount on how wonderful it is to be one of the first readers of amazing new books. To have a hand in shaping them. To have a big hand in helping that book find more readers. To be a stalwart source of information and expertise for the writers of those books.
There's a lot that money can't buy. My time is just one of them.

From small northern Italian town beginnings, over 100 years ago, Fila has evolved into one of the world's most relied-upon sports lifestyle brands. Its legacy of style earns admiration to this day. Whether you perform for the challenge of adventure, the rigour of competition, or the pleasure of an active life, Fila understands that the beauty of sport is that of a life in motion.
The Fila brand started in 1911 in Biella, a small town in the foothills of northern Italy, when two brothers sharing the surname Fila, founded a textiles manufacturer designed to provide for locals. The company's growth and expansion of the Fila brand has, over the years, continually transformed, driven by an evolution of their philosophy, allowing them to grow to the leading global designer of high-end sportswear it is today. The quality of Fila's garments were soon recognised leading to Fila becoming popular throughout Italy.
By the 1970s Fila was a recognised sportswear brand that would move into the world of tennis in order to assert its dominance on the global stage. The White Line collection was established in 1973, with the collection's name was poking fun at tennis' pomp and ceremony in their refusal to deviate from the traditional white kit. The collection continued to respect the sport's conclusions on what a uniform should be, but managed to add its own irreverent details which popularised not only the brand but sport of tennis, fronted by a Fila-clad Björn Borg. Fila's alternative approach reimagined sportswear design in the 1970s, with bold colours and eye-catching design.
Since, Fila has enjoyed status as the go-to for British football casuals, who prided themselves on appearing smart and clean, with a focus on European design. With the remake of football hooligan The Firm, Fila has enjoyed a revival in European countries, and among those inspired by the aesthetic of football violence. Over a hundred years on from its rural early development, Fila continues to not only survive but actually thrive as a relevant brand. Generations apart appreciate the level of design, the brand's colour and elegance, and its place in the culture of men's fashion.
Our range of Fila styles are carefully chosen to represent style and elegance across footwear, clothing, and accessories. Our styles include the Venom sneaker by Fila, and the wildly popular Fila Disruptor, spearheading the chunky dad sneaker trend.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Some people decided to lose their hair for a good cause on St. Patrick's Day.
The St. Baldrick's Foundation held a head-shaving fundraiser during a St. Patrick's Day street festival in Jacksonville on Saturday.
The foundation raises money to fund research into cures for childhood cancers. Some participants in this fundraiser raised $200, while others raised $2,000.
One participant said the cause was especially important to him because his daughter had been diagnosed with leukemia in December.
"It's a wonderful way to honor my little girl that's going through this battle and at the same time, raise some money to help and find a cure for this," said Scott Johnson.
Nationally, the St. Baldrick's Foundation has raised more than $18 million in 2012 alone.

Post subject: Back falling to normal cooked food...
At the moment, I have the problem that I sometimes can´t resist to normal cooked food in society with others (who eat normal cooked food). Sometimes I can resist when someone offers me for example meat, cheese or some cooked food. But then I can´t, and I eat still again some food, I rather dislike...
I think, it´s because of emotions and/or other people around me...
The other problem is, that I live together with a friend and I can´t have all the food at any time, I really want...
I think, the only solution is, to live allone again (for other reasons too, but this is also a big reason)...
I want to go 100% raw and then try LOL/Prana, but at the moment I feel always thrown back (to cooked food)...
I try to balance the cooked food with something raw, to eliminate the retoxing; even when I know, that the only right way is to fall never back into cooked, dead food...
Sometimes, it doesn´t affect me emotionaly, or less, then at other times, I get damn angry about this...
I think, I can only go on with this without any relationship. For other reasons, I don´t have an normal job (and I never want one again, it´s hell for me, some months ago I started with street music and tried the first time street painting with the help of my friend), this is also lucky to go full raw and later trying also Prana.
It´s sad, that most people in society can´t handle such things...
Some experience, some advice?

Post subject: All about emotions...?!
What I wanted to add:
I think, it´s all about emotions... (and also wrong imagines in mind, for sure, but if that´s corrected, the emotions will be yet there)
I mean, making music, painting ect. is all directly connected to emotions, feelings...
Eating, drinking also...
(I feel also addicted to hearing music.)
I think, to get of from food, we need something other to handle our emotions. (What´s also interesting, is, that there is the so called "gut feeling", that the belly is also called "the second brain"; may be, eating food, and storage it in the body is an memory for feelings, emotions?! Which came out, when these storages/memories are drained by burning it, if there is no new food intake?! Fat cells = Emotion Memory?!)
I know, that music for example also can be an memory for emotions, feelings; so the more I can handle my emotions with things like music, painting, and other activites, the less must I do that with food?!
I had once read, that in afterlife, people don´t work for food, because, they don´t need food; and there activities based on making art...
And that one day our physical world there will come together with the afterworld (again, like in the era of "Atlantis")...
Perhaps is LOL/Prana the key to that...?!

The Philadelphia City Planning Commission has approved Chestnut Hill College's master plan to expand both its main campus and its SugarLoaf Campus.
The approved expansion precedes the changing of the zoning of both campuses from residential to Institutional Development District (IDD), enabling the college to build according to the approved master plan without revisiting zoning.
In the next few weeks, Councilwoman Donna Reed Miller is expected to introduce formal legislation creating the IDD. A public City Council hearing will be scheduled within 45 days of the bill's introduction.
The college's move forward with the IDD application process came after more than a year of negotiating with near neighbors and local organizations impacted by the change in zoning and the development of the SugarLoaf campus specifically.
A number of those involved in the negotiations expressed their disapproval of the IDD and the college's master plan to the city's planning commission at its hearing.
George E. Thomas, vice president of the Northwest Wissahickon Conservancy, issued a statement to the planning commission citing "property interests" of local citizens and historical preservation of the area, among other reasons against the proposed expansion.
He also said he believes the IDD gives the college unfair leverage in the negotiations, and that the college has "threatened to turn the property over for high-density development."
"Your approval of this master plan and the college IDD application at this point will short circuit the negotiations that have been underway for the last 18 months," Thomas said in the statement. "The college appears to be using the IDD application as a perverse negotiating tool to force acceptance of its one-sided community development agreement."
Thomas and the Northwest Wissahickon Conservancy were part of a negotiating group composed of neighbors, local institutions and the college. The group has been negotiating about the development of the SugarLoaf property for more than a year.
Larry McEwen, co-chairperson of the negotiating committee, declined comment.
Maura McCarthy, executive director of Friends of the Wissahickon, said every FOW member who spoke during the negotiations opposed the expansion, but declined to cite their reasons why.

Protesters slam Turkish coup plot trial
December 13, 2012
ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkish police on Thursday used pepper spray and water cannons to push back hundreds of protesters trying to enter a courthouse where prosecutors were to deliver final arguments in a trial against nearly 300 people accused of plotting to overthrow the government, Turkish media reported.
Inside the courthouse, a panel of judges was forced to interrupt the trial three times over objections by defense lawyers and spectators shouting slogans in support of the defendants, who include prominent journalists, politicians, academics and retired generals, the state-run Anadolu agency and other media said.
The defendants are accused of plotting a series of attacks in a bid to foment chaos and provoke a military coup to bring down Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamic-rooted government, in a manner similar to past coups in Turkey that ousted civilian governments.
They are charged with belonging to an ultranationalist gang, Ergenekon, which takes its name from a legendary valley in Central Asia, believed to be the ancestral homeland of the Turks. Prosecutors say the Ergenekon gang was behind attacks on a newspaper and a courthouse, and plots to kill the prime minister and author Orhan Pamuk, Turkey's Nobel laureate. The defendants have rejected the accusations.
The trial, now in its fourth year, grew out of an investigation into the seizure of hand grenades at the home of a noncommissioned officer in Istanbul in 2007. Opponents maintain the accused are victims of a government attempt to muzzle critics and undermine Turkey's secular legacy and say the trial is based on flimsy or fabricated evidence.
The government insists the trial is a step toward democratic reform. Thousands of people travelled to the courthouse on the outskirts of Istanbul to show solidarity with the suspects, which includes the former Turkish military chief of staff, Ilker Basbug.
"People are being held (in prison) on false evidence," Muharrem Ince, a legislator from Turkey's main opposition party said in an address to protesters outside the court. "This is not a trial, it is (a government) revenge over the (secular) Republic."
In September, more than 300 military officers, including the former air force and navy chiefs, were convicted of separate plots to bring down the government in 2003. Their case is being appealed.

When you think "erotic thriller," Tyler Perry isn't the first name to come to mind — and Madea is definitely not. But that's how Lionsgate sold "Tyler Perry's Temptation," and it worked.
Perry's "Temptation" took in an impressive $22.3 million at the box office over the weekend, the writer-director's ninth film to open at more than $20 million, which puts him in some fast company. Stephen Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis are the only other directors to manage the feat, according to Box Office Mojo.
"Temptation" is also the fourth of Perry's films to open at more than $20 million on Easter weekend, but this one is a little different. There was no appearance by his comedic alter ego Madea, and for that matter, no Perry on screen at all, but that wasn't the only thing unusual about this film.
Also read: Kim Kardashian 'Temptation' Reviews; Keep Your Day Job
"There's never been what you'd call a 'sexy' Tyler Perry film," a Lionsgate marketing source told TheWrap Monday. Broad comedy — no Madea pun intended — with a dash of morality have been the constants in most of his films, which primarily target African-Americans.
"Temptation" follows a heated romance between the ambitious and married Judith (played by Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and Harley (Robbie Jones), a handsome social media billionaire who aggressively courts her. Kim Kardashian plays Judith's co-worker at the high-end couple's therapy business.
Lionsgate's marketers made the most of their chance to sell a fresh take on a Perry film, but it was a more subtle effort than might be assumed.
The one-sheet poster for the film features a nude female form super-imposed on a capital "T," an image more than a little reminiscent of the "50 Shades of Gray' book cover and clearly designed to say sex. But the poster, and other marketing materials, say it subtly, suggesting there might be more going on
"Temptation is a word that conjures the idea of seduction and sexiness, but it's also a word that has a biblical meaning, and that made it ideal for us, given this movie" said the source.
The fact is, with a PG-13 rating, "Temptation" wasn't all that steamy. And critics — many of whom are generally dismissive of Perry's work — even found fault with the film for its ultimately moralistic tone. "Temptation" was as much about the consequences of cheating as it was lust.
So were traditional Perry fans put off by the movie's raciness, or were fans looking for a film with some heat let down by its ultimately moral tone?
Not hardly. Lionsgate nailed the target demographic and audiences, which broke down 70 percent female and nearly 80 percent over 25 years of age, loved the movie. They gave it an "A-" CinemaScore.

"I don't think his core audience was the least bit disappointed, and that fact that this film imparted a moral message, as Perry's film typically do, was a big part of that," said the source.
Lionsgate, which has been in the Tyler Perry business for the last eight years, has no problem with the filmmaker trying something different, according to distribution chief David Spitz.
"For literally years now, we've found ourselves talking on Sundays and Mondays about how Tyler Perry's film have overperformed," Spitz told TheWrap, "so we have a lot of confidence in whatever he wants to do."
That's with good reason. Perry's films have opened to an average of $23.4 million and grossed more than $52 million per picture. That's all with production budgets under $20 million.
"What he's done is pretty amazing," Exhibitor Relations vice-president and senior analyst Jeff Bock told TheWrap Monday. "He's found a niche market — one that Hollywood has largely underserved, especially when you're talking women — that Spike Lee would die for, and he's nailed it pretty much every time."
Why, since Perry has shown the African-American market can be targeted with consistent success, does it remain underserved?
"It's probably because there isn't the real high ceiling on his films," Bock said. "There aren't any $200 million movies there, or for that matter, $100 million." Perry's biggest overall grossing film is 2009's "Madea Goes to Jail," which took in $90.5 million.
But that's a limit Lionsgate, which has taken in just under $700 million from Perry's 14 films, is ready and willing to live with.

The Adobe FrameMaker Template Series is a collection of over 150 professionally designed templates. Using the templates, you can create technical manuals, cookbooks, Web sites, and many other types of publications entirely in FrameMaker. We've also thrown in over 30 custom table formats; multi-purpose borders; and special features, such as guide lines, pre-built fractions, customizable variables, and tables of contents.
This pack contains 11 templates that boldly take Adobe FrameMaker to places you probably never expected it to go. FrameMaker is justly renowned for its strengths in formatting long documents, where page after page displays the same general structure. But these strengths don't translate well to the mercurial world of ads, newsletters, and Web sites, where each page presents a unique face to the reader, and sameness quickly builds to monotony. The templates in this pack tackle these media head on by enabling you to use FrameMaker to produce the following types of publications:
-- Design-intensive, single-page documents
-- Multi-page, double-sided newsletters
-- Personal and professional Web sites
-- Classified ads
|File Name
|File Size
|Proceed to Download
Adobe FrameMaker 5.5 or later for UNIX or Adobe FrameMaker+SGML 5.5 or later for UNIX
The most convenient place to install the template files is in the folder that contains the standard FrameMaker templates. By placing them in this location, they will be available in FrameMaker's New dialog box. If you prefer to place them in a different folder, you may have to navigate to that folder to find them when you create a new document.
Most of the templates contain sample text and instructions. These instructions are helpful when you're using the templates for the first time. After a while, however, you'll probably want to clear out the sample text from the templates you use regularly. If you do this, be sure to keep a copy of the filled-in template in case you need to be reminded of how it's supposed to look or work.

NCAA rules demand that a player who throws a punch in a game get an automatic one-game suspension. Brittney Griner's coach gave her one more to grow on but even if that's normal, it's not really what she deserves.
The general consensus seems to be that a two-game suspension isn't a fitting punishment for breaking someone's nose. But when evaluating the fairness of it, two questions must be asked. Is it a typical suspension based on the offense and is Griner being treated differently because she's a girl? The answers are yes, and not really.
The truth is that when you look at the punishments typically handed down for basketball fights, two games is about what you should expect. Oklahoma State's Andrea Riley took a swing at LSU's Erica White in an NCAA tournament game in 2008 and got a one-game suspension. (From the tournament. She still hasn't served it, because OSU hasn't been back.) The NBA's Trevor Ariza got one game back in December for swinging and missing at DeMar DeRozan. Ditto Jamaal Magloire and Detroit's Jonas Jerebko for their preseason slap fight. In college, Michigan's Zack Novak got the same punishment, not for a punch, but for a flagrant foul when he clocked Ohio State's P.J. Hill with an elbow. No matter the level or the gender, the circumstances don't seem to make a difference. Crossing the line between hard play and fighting is good for a one-game vacation. Two, if you're really a prick about it.
Even in the most notorious moment in WNBA history—an ugly on-court scuffle between Detroit and L.A—ten players and a coach were suspended, but only one player got more than two games. And those most severely punished were the players who came off the bench.
Believe it or not, the Big 12 seems to agree that leaving the bench is the more severe offense here. Their statement about Griner's suspension spends more words chastising the teams for not controlling their subs than it does criticizing the person who actually injured someone. The same holds for the men's game, where simply wandering too far from your chair is on par with an unprovoked physical attack.
So why did football's LeGarrette Blount get eight games—three quarters of a college season—for punching a player in the chin? Not only is football a much more physical and violent activity, but basketball is the sport with the richer history of extracurricular slugfests. Dr. J. vs. Bird. The Knicks and Heat. The Knicks and Bulls. The Knicks and everyone. Kermit Washington's haymaker on Rudy Tomjanovich is the most brutal on-field incident American sports have ever seen, yet basketball still considers fighting to a nuisance, not a problem that should be eliminated. The punishments are hardly more severe than they are in hockey where fighting is a hallowed part of the game.
However, even hockey knows that the outcome of an incident should have a bearing on the official response. Take all the swings that you want , but if you really hurt someone you're going to pay for it. Jordan Barncastle will probably need surgery on her broken nose and it's still not clear when, or if, she'll play basketball again this year. Griner will likely miss less time than she does. It was not a typical fight, therefore she deserves more than the typical punishment.
If basketball doesn't want to do anything serious about fighting, that's fine, but they should do something about an unnecessary and preventable injury. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone is interested in teaching that lesson this time.

Patrick Hughes
Patrick Hughes's paintings and wall reliefs wittily address art history and the nature of perception and perspective. He invented an optical illusion called "reverspective," a neologism for reverse perspective. Hughes begins by constructing pyramid- or wedge-shaped blocks out of wood, which he combines into ridged panoramas. He then paints scenes into the blocks, depicting interior spaces—including museum galleries hung with iconic artworks—as well as landscapes and city views. The protruding parts of the works appear to recede, and the receding parts appear to protrude. As viewers walk by the pieces, the compositions seem to move. Hughes once remarked: "In my reverspective, you have a contradictory and paradoxical experience. I wouldn't think they're beautiful. I think . . . they can be awe-inspiring."
We have access to most of Patrick Hughes' prints, not currently listed below - if there is a specific edition by Patrick Hughes you are looking for please feel free to get in touch and we would be happy to try and source it for you.

AOL has announced an $850 million deal to buy the social networking site Bebo, which dominates the UK social networking market. AOL has been struggling to find a way to grow its business, and to move away from its traditional model of selling internet access. Its AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) has remained a dominant player in the instant messaging market, but AOL has failed to monetize it.
With the acquisition of Bebo, AOL can potentially leapfrog its way into the rapidly expanding social media space, leveraging Bebo's current (and growing) membership of 40 million users. By combining Bebo with AIM's dominant position in messaging and AOL's recent acquisitions of online advertising companies, AOL looks to be trying to create a serious rival to Facebook and MySpace, with a healthy monetization potential built in.
"Bebo is the perfect complement to AOL's personal communications network and puts us in a leading position in social media," said Randy Falco, Chairman and CEO, AOL. "What drew us to Bebo was its substantial and fast-growing worldwide user-base, its vision of a truly social web, and the monetization opportunities that leverage Platform-A across our combined global audience. This positions us to offer advertisers even greater reach and marketers significant insights into the desires and needs of consumers."

A heroin network that supplied millions of dollars' worth of the drug to dealers throughout the Northeast has been dismantled, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said authorities arrested 15 people and seized three kilograms of bulk heroin worth more than $300,000 wholesale. Authorities also netted nearly 500 bricks of the drug that were ready for resale and could fetch upward of $1 million. The network operated out of a series of heroin mills and stash houses in Paterson, Chiesa said.
The network trafficked multiple kilos of heroin per week to suppliers and high-level drug dealers in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., Chiesa said.
"They were not, for the most part, selling directly to street-level dealers," Chiesa said. "The evidence seized indicates that this is a high-volume operation."
Authorities seized 10 houses and one car during the six-month operation. The bricks of heroin were seized from a Dodge Caravan stopped on Interstate 80. The bricks were packaged into thousands of individual glassine bags, ready for immediate sale. In addition, authorities took nearly $500,000 in cash and a kilo of cocaine.
The alleged leader of the network, 36-year-old Segundo Garcia of Prospect Park, N.J., is charged with leading a narcotics trafficking network.
Officials dismantled what amounts to a regional drug business, complete with management ranks. They arrested three middle managers allegedly responsible for resupplying product and money to wholesalers in the region, five alleged managerial-level suppliers and seven lower-level men who allegedly packaged and distributed the drug. Two were taxi drivers who transported the drugs and cash, Chiesa said.
Two men remained at large.
"It wasn't a startup operation," said Stephen J. Taylor, director of the attorney general's Division of Criminal Justice. "It was a sophisticated drug operation."
Officials said the network's distribution channel flowed from two heroin mills in Paterson where employees would process the heroin, cutting it with other substances, increasing its volume threefold. Employees would then package the heroin into small plastic bags so it could be delivered to dealers and sold.
"Behind the doors of these buildings we allege the defendants employed workers who processed the heroin wearing aprons and surgical masks," Chiesa said.
The drugs were processed in multi-family houses designed to hide the operation in plain sight, Chiesa said. But it became hard to obscure employees who wore aprons and pulled up masks to take cigarette breaks outside, Chiesa said.
Paterson, a city of 146,000 about 20 miles northwest of Manhattan, has long been plagued by drug-related crime. Officials said they believe the bust will help decrease some of the violence and dismantle some of the city's drug dealers.
Authorities said the heroin was from Colombia, but would not elaborate further.
New Jersey has one of the nation's highest rates of heroin use, with about 17,000 heroin-related drug treatment admissions in 2010, according to the White House office of National Drug Control Policy.
Gov. Chris Christie started a task force to investigate the spike in heroin use statewide, especially among teenagers and young adults.
New Jersey and New York are also one of the nation's biggest heroin intake points, officials said, due in part to their high, dense population, access to airports, highways and ports and a longtime demand that is only growing.
"The demand is here," said Brian R. Crowell, the Drug Enforcement Administration special agent in charge of the New York Division. "And we have the network between the airport and seaports here and the highways connecting New England and Washington and west out to Pittsburgh."
The high demand for prescription opiates is also fueling an increase in heroin use. Heroin is cheaper than prescription drugs such as Oxycontin, and many who abuse pills turn to heroin for a cheaper high that can be easier to obtain on the street.
"What happens in a lot of cases is people transition from the prescription drugs to heroin because it's a cheap substitute," Chiesa said.

With Wall Street displaying a voracious appetite for enterprise software stocks, companies are lining up for IPOs.
Redwood City's Silver Spring Networks — whose plans for an initial public offering have languished for more than a year — and Ruckus Wireless of Sunnyvale are among those expected to go public within days or weeks. They hope to ride on the coattails of Silicon Valley companies like Palo Alto Networks, Qualys and Workday, which recently have seen their stock offerings soar.
Yet some observers fear that, in the frenzy of opportunity, unqualified candidates might squeak through the IPO window — and, if they perform poorly, spoil the party for other companies.
"Silicon Valley in part is like Hollywood: When there's a successful space alien movie, then you have six space alien movies," said Lise Buyer, the investment banking veteran who took Google (GOOG) public eight years ago and now counsels startups on the IPO process.
"When everybody was hot to trot about social media, nobody cared about enterprise software," Buyer continued. But by helping companies manage their fast-growing digital data, or delivering software remotely via the cloud to save clients money, the current troupe of enterprise startups is wowing investors with rapid growth and a ready audience of paying customers.
Also driving more companies toward the IPO threshold is the JOBS Act, new federal legislation that lets companies file plans to go public with the Securities and Exchange Commission in private. If initial signs suggest a lack of investor interest, companies can pull out of the IPO queue without having shared proprietary financial data with the world.
Workday, Ruckus and SolarCity are among local companies that have taken advantage of the new rules, which only require a filing to be published within a few weeks of the pre-IPO "roadshow" for prospective investors.
"It keeps your competitors guessing, and you don't go through a Groupon-like, public SEC review that can taint your stock," said Dave Flynn, CEO of Aerohive Networks. The Sunnyvale company, like Ruckus, makes next-generation wireless networking technology for corporate clients and is widely expected to begin the IPO process in coming months.
Flynn said "a lot of real good companies got built quietly between 2008 and 2010," when the media and venture capitalists were focused first on the global credit crunch, then on the rise of social media.
With many of those business-to-business companies now primed to go public, "some of these VCs are going to make a lot of money," said Flynn, who was himself an early adviser to Palo Alto Networks (and likely made a small fortune in its July IPO).
Sam Hamadeh, head of New York financial analysis firm PrivCo, said an already warm IPO market grew superheated during a one-week stretch last month in which five companies — including Pleasanton's Workday — saw their share prices rise 20 percent or more on their first day of trading.
Hamadeh said it was the first time in a decade that so many IPOs have soared in the same week.
"These run-ups in pricing are a strong indicator that IPO investor sentiment is high — at least for 'favored' sectors" such as enterprise software, Hamadeh wrote in a note to his firm's clients.
In fact, he said half of the year's initial public offerings have been by companies focused on those emerging technologies. And the pace began picking up in mid-September, with 20 IPO primings in a 30-day period.
Hamadeh said he expects Silver Spring Networks — which sells cloud-based networking software to utility companies, including PG&E and Commonwealth Edison — to begin its investor roadshow this month.
Company officials, citing SEC "quiet period" rules that precede an IPO, declined to comment for this story. But Hamadeh told this newspaper, "My sources say they want to get out ASAP, while the IPO window's open."
Silver Spring filed to go public in mid-2011, then was forced into a holding pattern as global stock markets went limp and investors soured on cleantech in the wake of the Solyndra scandal.
While Silver Spring can justly reposition itself to investors as a cloud-computing company serving deep-pocketed corporate clients, SolarCity — a solar-panel installer that unveiled its SEC filings last month — is coming out at a time many solar manufacturers have gone bankrupt or yanked IPO plans.
And the company, according to its IPO filing, is being investigated by the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS for allegedly overstating the value of its solar panels when claiming federal cash grants. A SolarCity representative did not immediately return a call for comment, though the company faces the same quiet period restrictions as Silver Spring and Ruckus.
Despite such potentially worrisome flags, Hamadeh said SolarCity — whose biggest shareholder is Tesla Motors (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk — wants to go public before year's end "for a couple of reasons." "It's showing strong top-line growth. And despite the gloom over the solar market, their growth story is one of the few bright spots in the industry."
Whether Wall Street agrees, Hamadeh added, remains to be seen.
IPO consultant Buyer, asked whether a gold-rush mentality could prompt lower-quality companies to go public, took a philosophical view.
"With any window, you have a higher percentage of very strong companies at the beginning," she said, "because the guys who broke the logjam had to be really good for investors to pay attention. Then, the success of the trailblazers inspires also-rans as well."
Yet she contrasted the current landscape to the frothier dot-com era.
"One of the good things we've seen about all IPOs in the last 12 months is that the market has been very selective," she said. "We've seen companies pull their deals, and that's encouraging. It shows that those companies that get to the roadshow finish line have been vetted and therefore should perform better as public companies — keeping the window open longer."

Repeat offender given another chance, instead sentenced to prison
Police met with repeat offenders last November to offer warning
MADISON, Wis. — A man who police hoped would turn his life around after getting another chance was sentenced Thursday to 12 additional years in prison.
Damien Smith was one of 30 violent repeat offenders in Madison who have been offered help in finding jobs, housing and volunteer opportunities as part of a new police program that also promises stiff penalties for breaking the law again.
After that meeting, police said Smith thumbed his nose at the system, selling heroin and crack cocaine, police said.
"He abused that and he placed the public at great risk in virtually everything he did," Dane County Circuit Court Judge Peter Anderson said. "How many more lives does he have to put at risk?"
Dane County Assistant District Attorney Corey Stephan argued for the maximum sentence, while defense attorney Jessa Nicholson asked for a lesser sentence than what the judge decided.
Stephan said Smith was connected to shootings at two now-closed Madison bars last fall. Smith's attorney argued he had not been charged in those shootings at 'R' Place on Park and the New Town Pub.
Anderson didn't use the accusations in his decision but did say that, even if gun violence hadn't happened before, "it'll happen soon" as a result of Smith's drug trade involvement.
Smith spoke in his defense, at one point apologizing for his actions but also saying he had gotten "sidetracked" in life.
"Just because I'm in this situation right now doesn't mean I can't still be a success story," Smith said, before bowing his head as Anderson read his sentence.
Police said Smith and three other repeat offenders are facing additional sentences after going through the program meant to help straighten out their lives. Others are still in prison, while others are making steps in the right direction, said Lt. Tom Woodmansee of the Madison Police Department's special investigations unit.
"If they reoffend, this is a classic example of what's supposed to happen," Woodmansee said after the sentencing hearing. "We've already heard on the street that associates of Smith are aware of what happened and are aware of the program."
Smith is also facing federal charges of delivering heroin and cocaine, in which he faces 10 years to life in prison.
Police said one of Smith's associates sold the heroin that killed a 17-year-old boy from Lodi in July.

The University of Florida Levin College of Law has a longstanding tradition of producing national leaders and is one of the nation's best values in legal education.
Training Leaders
UF Law has a longstanding tradition of preparing its graduates for significant leadership roles. We placed first in Florida, fourth among public schools, and eighth overall in "output," i.e. the caliber of a school's graduates. It ranked fourth among public law schools in 2013 (tied for seventh overall) in the number of its graduates serving as federal district and circuit court judges; more than 250 graduates serve as state appellate and trial judges in Florida, and many serve in those roles in other states as well. No other law school has produced as many presidents of the American Bar Association since 1973; five including 2010-11 president Steve Zack (pictured). Graduates are also represented by the majority of The Florida Bar presidents, including current president Eugene Pettis (JD 85), Gwynne Young (JD 74), Scott Hawkins (JD 83), Mayanne Downs (JD 87), and John G. White III (JD 79). Four Florida Governors and hundreds of state senators, representatives and cabinet members hail from UF Law. Twelve graduates also became college presidents, and more than a dozen have served as deans of law schools.
Diversity in leadership
We are particularly proud of our track record in producing diverse leaders for the legal profession. Eugene K. Pettis (JD 85) became the first African-American president of The Florida Bar in 2013.

Forbidden Planet International includes James Enge's The Wolf Age on a list chosen by writer/editor/blogger John Freeman that includes movies and graphic novels. He calls the book "a knockout" in his Best of the Year.
Barnes and Noble's Explorations blog, run by Paul Goat Allen, has put out several Best of 2010 lists, broken up by subgenre. First up, they named Clay and Susan Griffith's The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire Book 1) as the #2 book in "The Best Vampire Releases of 2010" and Jasper Kent's Twelve as #10.
Explorations' next list, The Best Steampunk Releases of 2010, includes Tim Akers' The Horns of Ruin at #7, Mark Hodder's The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack at #10, and Mike Resnick's The Buntline Special at #13 (in a list of 13).
Finally, Explorations' The Best Fantasy Releases of 2010 includes Adrian Tchaikovsky's Empire in Black and Gold at #10.
The Library Journal included James Barclay's Elfsorrow on their "LJ Best Books 2010: Genre Fiction." They write:
"The mercenaries of the Raven journey to the heart of the elven continent of Calaius to save the land from dying in a superbly visualized fantasy adventure reminiscent of Glen Cook's classic Black Company tales."VampChix has chosen Clay and Susan Griffith's The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire Book 1) their "Best Vamp Novel of 2010."

"If you haven't given Pyr releases a look, you really should. Their output, under the editorial hand of Lou Anders, is nothing short of amazing. By this I mean the number of releases of theirs that are consistently good. I had the chance to read a large number of their releases, particularly in the back half of the year (in fact I'm devouring Mike Resnick's The Buntline Special as we speak), and most were good while some were simply outstanding. For UK readers Pyr publications might be difficult to get you hands on (actually, they are the US outlet for a number of originally British releases such as Syke's Tome of the Undergates, Tchaikovsky' Shadows of the Apt and Kent's Danilov Quintet, which are all mentioned in the lists above) but trust me, importing their books through a service like Bookdepository.co.uk is well worth it."The Erudite Ogre has posted a Top Ten List for works read in 2010. These include the 2009 books Blood of Ambrose and This Crooked Way. The Ogre writes:
"I discovered James Enge through his story in the Swords & Dark Magic anthology, and I am so glad that I did. His work has rekindled my love for sword & sorcery through its combination of vigorous action, depth of character, and crisp prose. People who call his prose 'slick' are missing some of its deeper pleasures, such as his economy of description, his deft characterizations, and a cavalcade of fascinating ideas that are woven together unassumingly into a cultural fabric that makes his work both warm and visceral. He takes the basic heroic mode of sword & sorcery and expands upon it even as he plays with it. His books have a classical heft to them, but are neither stiff nor dated. He refreshes the genre by taking old roads and then suddenly going off into the misty woods beyond, making new paths that wind in and out of our expectations. Really top-notch stuff!"
Update 12/30/10: The Mad Hatter's Bookshelf and Book Review has just posted the "Best Books of 2010 (That I've Read)" list. Mark Hodder's The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack wins for Best Steampunk novel, while Clay and Susan Griffith's The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire Book 1) is the runner-up for Best Vampire novel. Also worth noting, my own aforementioned anthology, Swords & Dark Magic, done for Eos and co-edited with Jonathan Strahan, makes Best Anthology. While not a Pyr book, several Pyr-related authors appear inside, including the James Enge story "The Singing Spear," which is scoring well with reviewers and turning many readers on to his novel length work.
Also, Stainless Steel Droppings The Best: 2010 in Review includes Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Diving into the Wreck and Ian McDonald's Cyberabad Days as among the best works they read this past year. They write of Diving into the Wreck:
"Diving into the Wreck is an intense, introspective, character-driven adventure that has moved to the top of my list of books to recommend to those who either have never tried science fiction, or are of the belief that science fiction isn't for them.And of Cyberabad Days:
Boss is a fully realized character. The reader sees Rusch's created future unfold through the multi-dimensional person that springs to life on the page. Boss is flawed, she makes mistakes, her errors exact a price and that price affects her decision-making and the course she chooses for her life. She has old wounds and unforgiveness that surface. But she is also a bright, adventurous, caring and dedicated individual. She has a deep and abiding love of history and a respect for the historical value of the ships she dives. She is not a scavenger, she is an historian first and foremost. You cannot help but get to know Boss in a deep and personal way which makes for a very satisfying reading experience."
"Cyberabad Days is a return to the world of Ian McDonald's BSFA-winning novel River of Gods. Like an exotic dish, this collection of seven stories (6 previously published, 1 new), is flavored with spices from the old world and the new. I savored hints of Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick amidst what I might have initially thought was an incongruous mixture: a Britain born son of Irish and Scottish parents writing stories set in a future India, steeped in that nation's rich cultural heritage. Cyberabad Days was a new and exciting literary experience, blending familiar science fiction ideas of future tech and artificial intelligence with a language and heritage that is far removed from my everyday experience. Ian McDonald brings the history of the Indian people, albeit a 'history' viewed from a time three plus decades in the future, in a way that sparks an interest in this diverse and storied nation."Update 12/30/10 number two: Fantasy Literature has just posted their FanLit's Favorite Books of 2010 list. Joel Shepherd's Tracato and Jasper Kent's Thirteen Years Later (UK editor, ours forthcoming) make the list. Ian McDonald's The Dervish House makes the separate Science Fiction list. (And, though not a Pyr book, my Swords & Dark Magic anthology again makes the anthology list, yay!)
Update 1/3/2011: Pat's Fantasy Hotlist has issued their "The Hotties: 2010 Year End Awards." We're honored that Pyr has been named "Publisher of the Year." Pat writes, "With three Pyr titles in the Top 5 and four in the Top 10, it couldn't be any other publisher! The folks at Pyr celebrated their 5th anniversary this year. Keep up the great work! And long live!" Meanwhile, Stephan Martiniere's cover for Kay Kenyon's Prince of Storms gets the Best Cover Art Award. And I'm thrilled to receive the "MVP Award" for the second year in a row. Pat writes, "Yes, two years in a row! Last year I said that as the heart and soul behind the Pyr imprint, this man is pretty damn close to being a genius. Scratch that! He is a genius! Though he doesn't have the means of the genre powerhouses at his disposal, Lou Anders nevertheless manages to work wonders year in and year out. To the powers that be at Prometheus Books: Give this man a raise! God knows he deserves it!"
Update 1/4/11: RobWillReview has just posted his year in round up. "Counting Down My 11 Favorite Books of 2010" has a whopping five titles. Matthew Sturges places at #11 with The Office of Shadow, Sam Sykes' Tome of the Undergates at #9, The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire Book One) by Clay and Susan Griffith at # 7, The Silver Skull by Mark Chadbourn at #6, and Mark Hodder's The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack at #3. Given how much Rob reads, I'd say 5 out of 11 is pretty impressive!
Update 1/6/11: Barnes and Noble's Explorations blog has posted another Best of, "The Best Science Fiction Releases of 2010," and David Louis Edelman's Geosynchron comes in at #9.
Update 1/11/11: io9 has posted their list of The 15 Best Speculative Fiction Books of 2010, and Ian McDonald's The Dervish House is on it.
Update 1/12/11: According to Locus Online, Ian McDonald's The Dervish House has been selected as the science fiction recommendation in the 2011 Reading List from the Reference and User Services Association, as announElfsorrow (Legends of the Raven 1)ced January 10, 2011 at the American Library Association.
Update 1/13/11: the steampunk page on Facebook has just announced "The Best of 2010 Steampunk Facebook Awards" and have named Lou Anders as "Best Editor." And Concatenation has published their Best SF Books of 2010, and The Dervish House makes the list. Elsewhere, they call it "science fiction at its best."
Update 1/17/11: Joe of The Forbidden Planet International blog selects Pierre Pevel's The Cardinal's Blades among the best of 2010.
Update 1/31/11: Elitist Book Reviews have just published their Best of 2010 list, and we're thrilled to see books by David Louis Edelman (Geosynchron), James Barclay (Elfsorrow, Shadowheart), Tom Lloyd (The Ragged Man), Adrian Tchaikovsky (Empire in Black and Gold, Dragonfly Falling, Blood of the Mantis, Salute the Dark), Sam Sykes (Tome of the Undergates), and Jasper Kent (Twelve) on the list. That's six out of thirteen authors, or ten out of seventeen books! The Eos anthology I edited with Jonathan Strahan, Swords & Dark Magic, also makes the list.
Meanwhile, Locus Online has posted Adam Roberts' 10 Best SF Novels of 2010 and it's no surpise that Ian McDonald's The Dervish House makes the list.
Update 3/22/11: Mihir of Fantasy Book Critic has posted his Top Ten list. Mark Chadbourn's The Silver Skull makes #7 in his list of Top Ten Novels 2010. Mihir says:
The Silver Skull was Mark Chadbourn's opening Salvo in the Will Swyfte Alternate Hist-Fantasy series. It was a much darker re-imagining of Victorian England and its battle with the Fey court who are as devious as legends foretell and deadlier than the human imagination. Bringing together a cast of characters and a quick paced plot MC fascinatingly showcases bits and pieces of history mingled with a fast paced storyline to give jaded readers a new series to follow and cheer for.
Meanwhile Jon Sprunk's Shadow's Son placed # 2 in his Top 10 Debut Novels list. He writes:
This book was another winner from Pyr who are fast becoming a stable for new fascinating authors. Jon Sprunk debuted with his tale of an assassin with a semblance of a conscience and a unique-ish partner. This tale was very fast paced and in spite of utilizing tropes it managed to give the readers a fresh feel. This book was my nomination for The David Gemmell Legend Award as I feel it best encapsulates DG's book themesUpdate 3/23/11: SF Site has posted their Readers' Choice: Best Read of the Year: 2010 and Ian McDonald's The Dervish House tops the list at # 1! They say:
"This is a novel of near-future Istanbul. It begins with a suicide bomber on a crowded tram, and follows the lives of 6 very different people whose lives are all affected by this incident, and whose paths intersect. One witness to the bombing thereafter begins to see djinni and saints; a young invalid witnesses the event through the eyes of a BitBot monkey, and witnesses someone else also spying remotely; this boy shares his concerns with a disgruntled professor who has been forced into retirement; another woman is delayed by the blast in her effort to get to a job interview and consequently takes a job that involves her in a nanoware company; an antique dealer is set on a quest to find a man mummified in honey -- something that may exist or may be mere legend -- while her boyfriend is planning a stock-market scheme of unprecedented proportions. The tightly plotted story takes place over a brief period of time in a confined setting, the sprawling metropolis of Istanbul. But it is McDonald's writing and his handling of character that led SF Site readers to choose The Dervish House as the best book of 2010."Update 4/12/11: Jasper Kent's Thirteen Years Later made the Booklist Editor's Top 10 Best SFF Books for 2010.
