Kevin Ho of Vanguard Properties
What's the best part about selling real estate in San Francisco? Access and getting to see how people really live. Of course, it's great meeting new people all the time without having to depose them for a trial. And it's wonderful getting to see all the pretty houses and realizing opportunity when others don't see it. But what is far more interesting is seeing powerful lawyers, CEOs, start-up gurus and the like throw their laundry on the floor just like anyone else -- it's seeing people's dirty laundry, literally.
What do you like to do when you're not selling real estate? Is there such a time? Well, I like taking the my former seeing eye dog trainee to Duboce Park. I love biking with all the good folks with the AIDS LifeCycle and I love to shop and to eat...locally sourced, fair trade of course.
What separates you from the others in this competition? I am me and they are them. But in all honesty, I'm pretty "on" all the time and I get intensely involved with taking care of my clients. I give broad, lawyer-informed advice and I like to take pictures and videos that I send to my clients in the moment so we can get going and fast. For example, I use technology not just as a novelty to play Angry Birds, but my latest escrow only happened after I broadcast/Skyped an open house walk-through to a client based in Seattle for a great place in NoPa that was on the market for about 48 hours. That's what I do differently.
People in your industry are always so good looking. What are some of your secret grooming tips? That's a secret that is ancient as it is Chinese, but it involves garlic, creams and pearls.
Ken Fox of East Bay Modern Real Estate
What's the best part about selling real estate in San Francisco? It's so interesting to see what people have done inside their homes.
Funniest anecdote from life as a broker During busy open house events, as much as I try to keep the home as perfect as it can be, someone always seems to get away with leaving surprises in the bathrooms for the Realtor to clean up.
What's the most rewarding part? Handing over keys to a buyer and helping sellers cash out of properties. Happy clients.
People in your industry are always so good looking. What are some of your secret grooming tips? Try it all until you find your groove.

It remains to be seen if Oklahoma University (4) is ready to take on UTEP in their opening game on September 1st but you can bet your bottom dollar that the girls from OU?s cheerleading squad are prepared. Judging from these cheerleading ?spirit camp? photos, to say that they?ve been ?warming up? would be a severe understatement. They?ve already been practicing against the likes of Texas, Baylor, and Kentucky at the UCA/UDA College Spirit Camp.
The weather does get a little hot during the summer so the girls demonstrate that jumping into pool while still wearing your practice gear is the quickest way to cool off. You might need to follow their example after looking at the photos below.

While the UK is way ahead when it comes to angry chefs yelling at people on TV, so far their LTE deployment has been anything but speedy. However, Everything Everywhere, the company formed by the merger of Orange and T-Mobile, has been granted a license by Ofcom to start deploying LTE on 1800MHz -- this September. If that time frame sounds familiar, it's because it's also the rumored time frame for the iPhone 5 announcement. Coincidental? Maybe, but it would put Everything Everywhere well ahead of rivals O2 and Vodafone, who are still waiting on an oft-delayed spectrum auction before they can even begin their LTE rollouts. Alex Dobie from Android Central reports:
The change to its 1800MHz license puts it at a potential advantage over other UK carriers, which must wait for 800MHz and 2600MHz bands to be auctioned off next year before they can roll out their 4G services. EE is also reportedly in the late stages of talks with rival network Three regarding the sale of some of its 1800MHz spectrum to the fourth-largest network, potentially opening the door for Three to run 4G services on these bands, too.
So maybe, just maybe, folks in the UK won't have to wait until next year to get their hands on an LTE 4G powered iPhone 5. We just remarked on how big a deal LTE would be for Verizon in the US. Could it be just as big a deal for Everything Everywhere in the UK?
If Everything Everywhere gets and LTE iPhone -- and it's still a big, unannounced, if at this point -- would you switch networks for it?

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday that Texas can cut off funding to affiliates of Planned Parenthood for a state women's health program because the network of clinics provides abortions.
The decision is a blow to Planned Parenthood, which is the nation's largest abortion provider and has been under attack from conservatives across the country. Some conservatives oppose any state government money going to support abortions.
Planned Parenthood denies the money to some of its affiliated clinics supports abortions and said it was for cancer screenings, birth control, and well-woman examinations, which focus on health histories and reproductive healthcare.
Texas is the most populous of a number of states with Republican majorities that have mounted a campaign to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood. A group of Planned Parenthood clinics earlier this year filed a federal lawsuit to stop Texas from cutting off the funding.
The ruling on Tuesday reversed a lower court decision that had temporarily allowed Planned Parenthood to continue receiving funding from the Texas program.
After the appeals court decision was announced, Texas said it would immediately stop providing money to Planned Parenthood under the Women's Health Program, which provides services to poor women.
"We appreciate the court's ruling and will move to enforce state law banning abortion providers and affiliates from the Women's Health Program as quickly as possible," Texas Health and Human Services Commission spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman said.
Planned Parenthood said that the decision puts the health of some 52,000 Texas women in jeopardy. The state program covers more than 100,000 women and Planned Parenthood has said the eight clinics suing Texas stand to lose $13 million a year.
"We are evaluating every possible option to protect women's health in Texas," Planned Parenthood Action Fund president Cecile Richards said in a statement.
The dispute erupted after Texas said that it would enforce a law that had been on the books for several years barring funding for abortion providers and affiliates.
The battle has also pitted Republican-dominated Texas state government against the administration of Democratic President Barack Obama because 90 percent of the funding for the Texas health program comes from the federal government.
The Obama administration has said it will not renew federal funding for the Texas program because the state was violating federal law by restricting the freedom to choose health providers.
But Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, said in a statement on Tuesday that the state would continue to run the program despite the federal government decision not to renew funding Texas.

TEL RIFAT, Syria (AP) ? Government forces pummeled the battered city of Aleppo with airstrikes and tanks and shelled parts of Damascus and southern Syria Monday, killing at least 100 people during a major Muslim holiday, rights groups and activists said.
The violence escalated dramatically after a one-day lull on Sunday, the start of the three-day Eid al-Fitr holiday which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The renewed fighting showed President Bashar Assad's regime is not letting up on its drive to quell the 17-month-old uprising out of respect for the occasion.
In Washington, President Barack Obama said U.S. thinking on military involvement in Syria would change if chemical or biological weapons came into play in the civil war. He told reporters the use of such weapons of mass destruction would widen the conflict considerably.
"It doesn't just include Syria. It would concern allies in the region, including Israel, and it would concern us," Obama said, warning the Assad regime and "other players on the ground" that the use or movement of such weapons would be a "red line" for the United States. The U.S. has been reluctant to intervene militarily so far.
Last month, the Syrian regime confirmed for the first time that it possessed chemical weapons by threatening to use them in case of any foreign aggression. The warning was seen as a sign of desperation as Assad's grip on power slipped. It came shortly after rebels assassinated four of the president's top security officials, the biggest blow to the regime in the entire uprising.
Since the holiday began on Sunday, an air of gloom has blanketed the nation and activists said there have been no signs of jubilation.
Adding to the despair, two main activist groups ? The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees ? said that 12 bodies shot execution style were found in the Qaboun district in the capital Damascus. Activist Omar al-Khani said the bodies, which included two children, were found on the side of a road with clear signs of torture on their bodies. Some were naked, others handcuffed.
The discovery of bodies in similar condition is not uncommon in Syria, particularly in the last few months as the uprising descended into a civil war with heavy sectarian undertones.
Most of the deaths Monday were a result of tank and mortar shelling as well as clashes in the Damascus suburbs of Daraya and Moadamiyeh, where some activists reported the regime used helicopter gunships. The Observatory and others said up to 31 people were killed.
An activist, El-Said Mohammed, said some 30 troops along with a tank defected to the rebels' side in Moadamiyeh on Sunday, which may have been the reason for Monday's shelling.
Mohammed spoke by Skype from the Damascus area. His information could not be verified.
Both the Observatory, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, and the LCC, reported at least 100 civilian deaths across the country, a heavy toll for a single day. Anti-regime activists say some 20,000 people have been killed since the revolt against Assad's rule began in March 2011.
The rights groups and activists said the latest assaults by tanks and warplanes caused two houses to collapse in Aleppo, Syria's largest city, killing at least 14 people. The buildings were in the Al-Sakhour and Qadi Askar neighborhoods, said activist Mohammed Saeed, reached by Skype inside the city. The reports could not be independently confirmed.
Aleppo has been the scene of daily battles for several weeks now, with forces loyal to Assad trying to wrest control from the rebels without making much headway.
In the southern city of Daraa, birthplace of the uprising, intense fighting between government troops and rebels killed 16 people, including two children and two women, the activist groups said.
As it battles for survival against the rebels, the regime has increasingly resorted to the use of airstrikes, particularly in the north around Aleppo where rebels have seized large swathes of territory.
Fighter jets on Monday bombed the town of Tel Rifat, 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Aleppo. The town serves as the headquarters of one of the largest rebel groupings.
The bombing punched a crater six feet deep in the courtyard of a high school and vocational school for girls and leveled five nearby homes. An adjacent elementary and middle school for girls was also damaged, apparently by strafing from fighter jets.
No one was killed or injured in the airstrike, residents said, because the school and the homes were empty. Most of the town's 35,000 people have fled due to frequent airstrikes and shelling. The same spots were bombed on August 8.
Residents said they didn't know why the area was targeted. The Brigade of Unification, the largest rebel grouping fighting in Aleppo province which has its headquarters in the town, has never been directly targeted by government forces.
"They don't want there to be an educated society," said Hatem, who taught Islamic education at the school and came to inspect the damage. "They want people to be ignorant so they don't ask for their rights."
He said two others schools in town had been damaged in previous government strikes. He declined to give his full name for fear for retribution.
The U.N.'s new envoy to Syria acknowledged on Sunday that he had no concrete ideas to end the conflict and that his mission would be difficult without a unified position by the U.N. Security Council.
"The problem is not what I can do differently, it is how others are going to behave differently," Lakhdar Brahimi told The Associated Press at his Paris home on Sunday. "If they spoke in one voice and were clearly supportive of what I will be doing on their behalf, that is what I need," Brahimi said of what he seeks from the Security Council.
"Without a unified voice from the Security Council, I think it will be difficult," the former Algerian foreign minister added.
Brahimi was named Friday to replace former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan as peace envoy to Syria. He served as a U.N. envoy in Afghanistan and Iraq and helped negotiate the end of Lebanon's civil war as an Arab League envoy. He said Annan's mission failed "because the international community was not as supportive as he needed them to be."
Russia and China have used their veto power at the Security Council to block strong Western- and Arab-backed action against the regime of Syria's Assad.
A Syrian foreign ministry source quoted by the official SANA news agency warned Brahimi that, for his mission to succeed, he must persuade countries backing the rebels to stop their support for the "armed terrorist bands" ? the regime's parlance for the rebels.
Syria often singles out Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey as the rebels' main backers.
