Happy Birthday to Us
Issue One made with Microsoft Word; the height of cheezy
Busan Haps is One today and to celebrate we are having a really big party. It's been a good run and we've only just begun.
A little over a year ago, Mike Schneider approached me with a ragged little printout entitled "15 Things I like about Busan," that he and Conor Murphy brainstormed a few nights before. Mikey asked if I could give it the 'writer's touch.' Looking back now, it was probably one of the best 'gifts' I have ever been given.
At the time I was in need of a new creative outlet. I had, over the years, tried to be a hip hop star (seriously), a pop star, a baseball player and most recently, a world class novelist. I had six solid years under my belt as a working journalist and was meandering through the good life here in Asia recovering from novel rejection.
Then came Mikey.
I had no experience at all with design, but opened up Microsoft Word and managed to put together the first Busan Haps in June of last year. Chris Tharp and Jen Sotham were the only writers in what was intended to be a simple guide. That summer, I learned some of Adobe's design software and little by little managed to build a website and a magazine. It is ironic that while gathering and distributing info about Busan, I have actually had little time to go out and enjoy it myself. What was I thinking?
So, to those of you who have written or taken photos, to those of you who have supported us financially, and to those of you that tune in, thanks for allowing me to pass on the gift.
For more info on the big bash, check out the party invite here.

United Scenic Artists Local 829 has called for a meeting to discuss the possibility of representing projection designers. The meeting, to be held at the USA829 offices in NYC on Monday April 23, will be an open discussion between working projection designers and union representatives.
An autonomous local of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), USA829 currently represents scenic, lighting, costume, and sound designers working in theatre. In addition to creating standards for minimum payments and royalties, the entertainment labor union also offers health benefits and pension programs for its members. Although IATSE currently represents projection programmers, no union represents projection designers.
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the subject with a wider group to ascertain what level of support exists. The meeting is open to all regardless of whether you think this is a good or a bad idea, or if you just want to find out what it is all about.
If you are a projection designer in the New York area and are interested and available to attend the meeting, please email me at: email@example.com

A teenager accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl this summer is no longer attending Hamilton High School, district officials said Thursday.
Due to student confidentiality laws, district spokeswoman Denise Lindberg would not elaborate on the circumstances surrounding 17-year-old Daniel Koepke, who faces four felony charges in Washington County.
"The high school worked out a cooperative arrangement with the individual, who will no longer be attending classes at Hamilton High School or any facility in the district," she said Thursday morning.
Koepke was charged in Washington County Circuit Court in July with four felony charges including first degree sex assault of a child under 13 years old, exposing genitals to a child and causing a child under 13 years old to view or listen to a sexual activity.
The school district learned of the allegations Monday.
"We should have been informed of the situation. We were not," Lindberg said. "We started hearing from some parents within the last week about this."
Lindberg said protocols are typically in place for school districts to be informed of these types of court proceedings involving a student.
"We don't know why they didn't occur. It put us in a difficult situation," said Lindberg, adding that the case is somewhat unusual in that the alleged crime happened in a different jurisdiction.
The police liaison officer with the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department contacted the Washington County District Attorney's office after learning of the alleged incident and the charges, Lindberg said.
Late Monday afternoon, the Washington County District Attorney provided the district with information about the bond release restriction. According to the Wisconsin Circuit Court System, Koepke is prohibited from having no unsupervised contact with any child under 16 years old.
"At that point, the high school put into place some immediate measures related to the bond restriction," Lindberg said.
"The bottom line in all of this … is that we want our community to be safe. We want our children to be safe."
Hamilton School District officials on Tuesday sent a letter to Woodside Elementary School parents informing them the teenager lives near their school.
Woodside Principal James Edmond wrote that extra police patrols have been planned near the school.
"In addition, all district schools have monitored, secure entrances, and I have reinforced with our staff the need to be diligent in playground supervision," he wrote.
"Now is a good time to remind everyone about the importance of close and careful supervision of children. Conversation with young children about stranger-danger also may be appropriate," Edmond added in the letter.
The district, according to parents, also made "robocalls" describing the situation and steps being taken by the district.
"I know that parents are somewhat frustrated because some of the information has been vague, but we're just not able to provide that specific information," Lindberg said. "We want parents to be informed. The bottom line in all of this … is that we want our community to be safe. We want our children to be safe."

Celerity HBA is a Storage Star
|Product snapshot
Hollywood movie production houses were among the early adopters of Fibre Channel (FC) storage area networks (SANs). Because they must move large volumes of data between editing stations to manipulate audio and video characteristics, applications often require the largest data pipe available. If you've noticed how quickly new DVDs hit the video store shelves, you can chalk it up to the increased productivity resulting from FC SANs.
Atto continues to increase its footprint in tinseltown by providing products in lockstep with Apple Computer Inc., the favorite platform of movie production houses. It's surprising that no other HBA vendor currently has a comparable product for this space. Apple sells a dual-ported, independent channel PCI adapter for connectivity to its XSAN line of products for $500, and Charismac Engineering Inc. has rewritten Emulex Corp. drivers to support a limited number of HBAs for Mac OS X, but that's it.
The Celerity FC-24XL is supported under Mac OS X 10.3.x, various versions of Windows and Red Hat Linux 8.x and 9.x.
Although backward compatible with PCI, the Celerity FC-24XL should be installed in a 64-bit PCI-X slot to achieve maximum throughput capabilities. If port density--not speed--is your main objective, then installing the card into a 64-bit PCI slot will work.
After installing the HBA into a Power Mac G5 server, I checked to see if the driver and firmware versions were up to date, and found that both needed to be upgraded. To install the driver version (1.20), I installed the latest Atto configuration tool (2.61) and flash file (FlashBundle_2004_03_31.24X), both of which can be found in the support/download section at www.attotech.com. Make sure you're running Mac OS X 10.2.4 or later (although 10.3.x is required to use the FC-24XL) and Java update 1.4.1 for the configuration tool to work properly.
I used the configuration tool to update the flash file on the FC-24XL and it worked without incident. Extracting and installing the new device driver required a few mouse clicks. A reboot was required due to the changes in the flash file.
Ordinarily, Mac OS X device drivers are loaded and unloaded dynamically or manually using the kextload and kextunload commands. After rebooting and evoking the configuration tool, I could see that the device driver and flash file had been updated.
This was first published in July 2004

Dear Fellow Investor,
According to The Economist, "a fundamental change is coming" -- and sooner than any of us ever imagined.
You probably know all about it. The buzz has been building slowly for years -- and now it's deafening.
It's all over the nightly news and the pages of The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Time.
President Obama has made it a top priority for his administration... It took center stage at the Olympics... Now even the Mayor of New York and the Queen of England are preparing for it.
Yet you may not realize just how soon -- or how much -- it's going to impact our lives.
And I can almost guarantee you that nobody out there has explained the very best way for YOU to lay claim to your fair share of the profits that will come out of this inevitable crisis.
The world's foremost experts say $300 BILLION will be generated -- in the next 5 years alone
That's why everyone from General Electric to Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan to British Petroleum, The Blackstone Group to Shell Energy -- and even billionaires like Bill Gates -- are racing to get invested.
It's also why I urge you to take the next few minutes to read this report in its entirety...
At the very least, you'll get the full story -- so you can decide for yourself if you'll be front and center when the big money starts rolling in.
Plus you'll get all the details on three immediately actionable investment opportunities that can help you cash in on this coming change -- and build the kind of wealth and financial security we all secretly dream about...
And I'll even show you how you can secure returns far greater than any of the legendary investment houses, companies, or innovators I just mentioned.
Shrewd investors just like you have already used this often-overlooked investment strategy to grow their portfolios by 2,941%, 6,771%, and even 21,201% -- in just the last 10 years alone!
I'll give you all the details in just a moment, but first let's discuss what many experts are calling...
"The Greatest Transfer of Wealth in the History of Mankind"
Right now -- while the rest of our nation struggles with a brutal recession -- a handful of sleepy, wind-swept West Texas towns are absolutely booming.
Not since the first railroad tracks were laid in 1881 have these towns experienced such prosperity...
In places like Sweetwater, Texas, abandoned buildings are being renovated and restored. New shops, hotels, and restaurants are opening left and right. Schools are going up, and highways are being built.
You might be picturing old-money oil tycoons like J.R. Ewing sitting in their mansions, sipping bourbon, and relaxing as their oil rigs pump all day and night...
But, here's the real shocker... these towns aren't booming because of oil -- they're booming in spite of it.
You see, they're at the epicenter of a $300 billion movement that holds the key to keeping the U.S. economy from hemorrhaging TENS OF TRILLIONS of dollars over the next few decades.
"The simple truth is that cheap and easy oil is gone. This is one emergency we can't drill our way out of."
-- Billionaire oilman, T. Boone Pickens
Whether or not you believe that "peak oil" is a geologic reality, the economic reality is that this year alone we will buy $700 billion worth of oil from countries that, as Pickens puts it, "don't like us very much."
That's four times the annual cost of the Iraq war -- and roughly equal to the amount that was picked out of taxpayers' pockets in order to "bail out" Wall Street. Projected out over the next 10 years our tab for foreign oil will come to a staggering $10 TRILLION!
That's a gut-wrenching amount of money to just throw away -- especially when our economy is in such turmoil. And from the looks of it, things are only going to get worse
In 1970, we imported 24% of our oil. Today it's nearly 70% -- and growing.
And although we represent a mere 4% of the world's population, we use nearly 25% of its oil.
The unfortunate truth is that we are hopelessly addicted to oil. And the readily available supply of that oil is coming into serious question...
- The CEO of Total SA, one of the world's largest oil companies, recently confessed that the world can't increase oil output beyond current levels.
- The Wall Street Journal reports that output from the world's existing oil fields is dropping about 4.5% per year and by up to 18% per year at some of the biggest oil fields in the North Sea, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico.
- The New York Times reports that many of the world's top oil exporters may have to begin importing oil within a decade to keep up with rising energy demands inside their borders.
Of course, the Saudis claim they have plenty -- some 260 billion barrels in reserve. Yet they refuse to let outsiders audit their reserves or confirm these claims.
And even if they do have all that oil, you can bet they have only one motive: to get top dollar for it.
In fact, more than 75% of the world's oil supply is in the hands of state-owned oil companies who are only worried about their own bottom lines.
To make matters worse, population booms in places like India and China have caused demand to skyrocket -- putting an even bigger strain on this ever-diminishing supply.
In 2008 we saw just how quickly the price of oil and gasoline can spike -- and how much havoc this can wreak on our economy and our way of life.
The good news is that there now is a solution that is both feasible and profitable...
"Plans for the end of the fossil-fuel economy are now being laid."
-- The Economist
20 years ago, wind energy was nothing more than a coffee-shop conversation between tree-huggers and hippies.
But since then, technologies have improved immensely... designs have become exponentially more efficient... and America's energy crisis has reached an urgent breaking point...
Meaning that wind energy has gone from something that we ought to pursue to something we absolutely must pursue.
Luckily for us, wind is now a viable -- and profitable -- way to wean ourselves off foreign oil. But don't take my word for it...
Researchers at Stanford University concluded that wind power can satisfy global energy demand 7 times over -- even if only 20% of available wind can be harvested.
Green Chip Review estimates, "By 2020, wind capacity in the United States will have grown 360%."
And the Department of Energy recently confirmed that up to 20% of America's electricity can come from wind by 2030 -- maybe even sooner.
When you consider that number currently stands at just 1%, you can begin to see why in-the-know investors are so excited right now...
The wind industry is about to explode 20-FOLD in the U.S. alone!
And, as we speak, the floodgates are starting to open...
But that's not even the half of it...
The New York Times observes that during the Olympics, TV stations broadcast, "wind turbines gleaming white more often than Michael Phelps flashing gold."
Queen Elizabeth II has commissioned Clipper Windpower to build the world's largest wind turbine off the coast of Britain...
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has unveiled plans to outfit dozens of the city's skyscrapers, waterways, and bridges with wind turbines...
And a cluster of wind farms south of Los Angeles will soon supply a large part of its electricity...
There's no doubt about it: Wind energy has arrived.
And don't forget, the House of Representatives just passed an historic energy bill that virtually guarantees that wind energy will play a promininent role in our country's future for decades to come.
But, here's the simple fact that so many people are overlooking...
Wind energy is booming because big companies -- and investors like you -- can now turn a huge profit.
Don't get me wrong... It's wonderful that wind energy is environmentally friendly and socially responsible. But let's not kid ourselves...
As The Economist points out... companies getting involved in wind energy projects are "investing their cash in ideas that they think will make them large amounts more."
You don't need me to tell you that big growth and big money go hand in hand. But mark my words, we're about to witness some truly mind-blowing growth...
That's why the world's top investors and money managers are betting BILLIONS on wind energy right now
Since the 1990s, the cost of generating electricity from wind has dropped some 80% -- and it continues to become more cost efficient every day.
That's why wind energy is now a bonafide, profit-generating industry growing at a breakneck 30%-per-year clip worldwide.
Experts forecast that over the next 5 years that number will soar to 50%-per-year -- generating some $300 billion in revenue.
"Wind is now so big that companies are investing seriously."
-- The Economist
- The Rocky Mountain News reports that "Goldman Sachs, as well as top hedge funds are hopping into the game."
- British Petroleum is teaming with Clipper Windpower to build a 5,050-megawatt wind farm in eastern South Dakota.
- The Blackstone Group -- one of the top U.S. private equity firms -- has committed $1.6 billion to construct an offshore wind farm.
- Shell and TXU Energy are combining forces to build a 3,000-megawatt wind farm in Texas.
- JPMorgan's energy unit has already invested $4.4 billion into more than 40 U.S. wind farms.
And here's the special pay off for investors like you...
There's no doubt that the wind-energy revolution is going be huge -- or that the companies I've mentioned so far will cash in big time.
But here's what nobody else out there will tell you...
When it comes to the wind-energy boom, investors just like you are truly in the sweet spot. Here's why...
Because you're an individual investor -- and not a massive corporation, Wall Street brokerage, or hedge fund -- you have the unique ability to invest in a special class of equities that can soar much higher, much faster than almost any well-known, over bought "blue chip" out there.
In fact, Warren Buffett boasts that if he were able to invest in these stocks, he could earn 50%-per-year returns!
Just ahead, I'll show you how an exclusive, highly successful group of investors have used these stocks to grow their wealth by 290%, 409%, and even 431% -- in the last 6 years alone.
But first I want to show you how -- starting today -- you can begin building your own wealth by getting invested in an under-the-radar company that is uniquely positioned to cash in on what the world's foremost wind-energy experts have dubbed...
"The Saudi Arabia of Wind"
Everyone knows that Saudi Arabia is the world's oil capital.
But did you know that according to the Department of Energy, North Dakota alone has enough wind capacity to generate over a quarter of our nation's electricity needs?
No wonder North Dakota's wind-generation capacity has soared from a mere 0.5 megawatts in 2004 to over 345 megawatts today. That's almost a 70,000% increase. But here's the real kicker...
Governor John Hoeven recently announced that, all told, capacity will soon hit 2,500 megawatts "with more on the way."
In other words, when it comes to wind energy, North Dakota is an untapped gold mine. But if you want to strike it rich, you've got to know exactly where to be -- and when.
CNBC, your brother-in-law, or some self-proclaimed "experts" may well steer you toward a big name like General Electric. To be fair, that's not horrible advice...
After all, they're forecast to sell $8 billion worth of wind turbines this year.
But here's something you must consider if you're serious about making truly life-changing gains off the wind-energy boom...
I'll be the first to admit that GE has an iconic brand, excellent management, and a major footprint in the wind-energy industry, but the fact of the matter is that GE is a $190 billion behemoth!
And it would, more or less, have to pack on ANOTHER $190 billion just for its shares -- and your investment dollars -- to double in value.
Meanwhile, if the company I'm writing you about today were to gain just 1/50th that amount, its shares would soar more than 400% -- turning every $10,000 you invest into more than $50,000 (or even $3,000 into more than $15,000).
Just imagine turning $10,000 into a down payment on a vacation home... or two years of college tuition for your kids (or grandkids)... or even just the peace of mind that comes with knowing you'll have plenty of money to afford a comfortable retirement.
Heck, you could even treat your wife -- or yourself -- to a brand-new Lexus... or donate it to an environmental organization, if you like.
And just imagine if you could do it without putting in grueling hours at the office... or signing up for fly-by-night money-making schemes... or taking any unnecessary risks that put your hard-earned cash in jeopardy!
Imagine if it were as easy as investing in a rock-solid, all-American company that follows Warren Buffett's patented methodology of growing shareholder value to a T...
Well, it can be -- if you get invested in the remarkable, little-known company I'm about to introduce you to...
Tack on the fact that it's a major player in the North Dakota wind-energy market and that it pays a whopping 5.1% dividend and what have you got?
An investment opportunity unlike any other!
I realize investors toss around the label "the NEXT Berkshire Hathaway" way too often nowadays, so I'll level with you...
I can't guarantee you that this century-old business from America's heartland will see the same outrageous success as Buffett's legendary company...
But I can guarantee you that it's run in the exact same forward-thinking, shareholder-friendly way that Warren Buffett runs Berkshire Hathaway.
So it's no surprise that shares of this electric utility (a traditionally low-return business) are up an annualized 2.5% over the past decade.
That might not sound that impressive, but consider this... 10 years ago, had you stashed your money in a savings account, it would have grown at a paltry 2% per year. T-Bills and bonds wouldn't have done much better. And an investment in an S&P500 index fund would be down 20% today!
And you've got to realize, this company's steady gains are about to kick into overdrive as their wind-tower construction business shifts into high gear.
Because when it comes to building wind farms these are the GO-TO guys!
This amazing little company already has the largest wind tower construction capacities in all of North America. But get this...
The president of its tower construction division recently announced that demand is so strong that it is expanding one of its factories by 40% and another by 100%.
And by locating these two factories in epicenters of wind-energy growth -- Fargo, North Dakota, and Tulsa, Oklahoma -- this company has placed itself directly in the slipstream of these highly profitable markets.
And here's the icing on the cake...
Management recently announced plans to buy a significant stake in two thriving wind farms. You might be wondering why they would do this...
Well, with oil and natural gas prices fluctuating wildly -- and soaring to record highs last year -- many consumers are now flocking to "fixed-rate" wind energy plans.
In fact, when Xcel Energy announced it would begin offering wind-generated electricity in Colorado, it signed up as many customers in 1 day as it normally does in 2 months.
Austin Energy experienced a similar phenomenon -- and ended up having to hold a raffle to see which customers would get the coveted wind-energy accounts!
So, as you can see, this company has a rare double-edged sword -- not only is it benefiting from the exploding demand for new wind farm construction, but it is also benefiting from the soaring demand for the electricity being produced by these farms.
And don't forget, it strategically invests the capital it generates in the same forward-thinking, shareholder-friendly way that turned Berkshire Hathaway into a legendary company and Warren Buffett into the world's richest man.
No wonder Bill Gates recently snapped up 9% of this breakout company!
That's right... one of the world's richest -- and smartest -- businessmen was so impressed with this company's potential that he decided to buy a sizeable portion of it for himself.
That's no surprise. After all, Gates is no dummy. He recognized the PC would revolutionize information technology and build unprecedented wealth for those who got in early. Now he sees the same thing happening with wind energy.
And he's not alone. The Economist notes that many of today's top businessmen and investors now believe that "alternative energy will be the basis of a boom bigger than information technology."
And the company I've been telling you about today is leading the pack! But like I said earlier, you deserve to get the full story...
That's why I'd like to send you a complimentary copy of a special report, "Power Plays: 3 Ways YOU Can Cash In On The Wind-Energy Revolution," that was released to the highly successful group of investors I mentioned earlier.
I'll tell you how you can claim your free copy of this report in just a moment -- plus I'll give you a rare opportunity to join this exclusive group of investors and get access to all their cutting-edge research and investment resources at a very special "insider discount" -- and without any risk whatsoever.
But first, it's about time I reveal this "special class" of stock... show you how it could help you grow your wealth faster than you ever imagined... and explain why...
This wind-energy leader's stock could soar higher than almost any other in this exploding sector...
Believe it or not, a key advantage to getting on board with this company right now is that most investors have never even heard of it.
That probably sounds crazy. But bear with me... and take a look at these companies...
How many of these companies did you buy, or even know about, 10 years ago? One or two? None?
Those are some pretty obscure companies. But they were the 10 top-performing stocks from 1998 - 2007.
Over those 10 years, they earned forward-thinking investors anywhere between a fortune-making 2,623% and an absolutely mind-blowing 7,064%.
Can you guess what they all have in common?
That's right... 10 years ago they were tiny companies very few investors had ever even heard of.
Amedisys, a boring little home health care business from Louisiana, weighed in at a paltry $5.4 million. But every $10,000 invested in it back in 1998 would now be worth $378,440.
And the same amount invested into little-known biopharmaceutical company Celgene would be worth an astounding $716,420!
Can you imagine? Investing $10,000 and getting back almost $1 million. In just ten years!
The point is: Investing in tiny, underfollowed companies with great potential can truly change your life. You've just got to know what the megatrend is... who's got the visionary management... and who's in the right place at the right time...
That's why my team travels the globe to find companies just like the one we're recommending today...
If you've stuck with me this far, you know what I'm saying makes good sense.
So let me make a proper introduction and show you what else I've got for you in addition to this great little company that just might make you a fortune...
I'm Motley Fool co-founder Tom Gardner, and I've dedicated years of my life to uncovering little-known small-cap companies that can earn you life-changing returns. I call them "Hidden Gems."
Believe me, finding companies like those you just saw is no easy task. My search has taken my team and I everywhere from exploding metropolises like Shanghai and Sao Paulo to idyllic islands like Bermuda.
We've even ended up in all-American towns like Elgin, Illinois. That's where we found an obscure maker of commercial ovens back in 2003.
After weeks of research, late-night number crunching, and several verifying phone calls, we recommended this company to a tight-knit community of opportunistic investors we advise -- namely, the members of our Motley Fool Hidden Gems service.
So, what happened?
Well, the stock is up 431%. And Hidden Gems members who followed our advice have already turned every $10,000 invested into $53,100 -- in just over six years.
It's the same story with the online jewelry retailer we recommended to these investors in September of 2005. After just two years, our Hidden Gems members were able to lock in a 207% gain.
We also recommended an obscure maker of nasal strips... an unknown funeral-services company... and an under-the-radar developer of drugs for rare genetic diseases.
And our Hidden Gems members were able to walk away with gains of 235%, 179%, and 207%, respectively.
Now we've developed an EVEN BETTER way to lead you to the world's most profitable stocks -- and maximize your profits
Last fall, when investors began panicking and fleeing the market in droves, small-cap stocks were particularly hard hit...
But my team and I knew the downturn only temporary. So, rather than panicking, we began developing a system that would allow us to take advantage of this incredible buying opportunity -- and lead our Hidden Gems members to even greater profits.
Basically, we sat down with our CFO and hashed out a plan to secure $250,000 in fresh investment capital that we could use to build a best-of-the-best small-cap portfolio.
Then we devised a way to ensure that we'd get great returns on our investment -- and help our members maximize their gains. And finally, out of dozens of worthy candidates, I personally handpicked the two cutting-edge equity analysts I wanted to run this portfolio...
I'll introduce you to them in just a moment, but first let me tell you how our system works...
Over the last few months these advisors have built a list of top small-cap stocks they ultimately plan to buy for the Hidden Gems portfolio.
And anytime they decide to buy one of these stocks, they immediately send our members an announcement telling them WHICH stock they are going to buy, at WHAT price, HOW MUCH of their portfolio they will allocate towards it, and most importantly -- WHY right now is the best time to buy that stock.
That way our members can get the full details on which incredible small-cap stocks they should be buying, plus they can buy in before we do -- so they can secure even bigger gains.
And of course, the same thing happens anytime we plan to sell a stock.
Bottom line, we're so confident that the stocks we're recommending can help you build a life-changing fortune, that we're putting our money where our mouth is... and guiding you step by step on how to build a portfolio full of the very best small cap stocks out there.
So far, we've opened ten positions and our top three positions have soared as much as 77%, 127%, and 145% -- all in less than seven months.
So what's our secret?
It's not what you might think.
We don't chase hot stock tips. We don't rely on supercomputers or fancy algorithms. And we don't have a surefire system for timing the market (all good ways to lose money).
And rather than following fads or flavor-of-the-week stocks, we just play it a lot smarter by seeking out well-managed, conservatively run small companies that are undervalued and unknown by most investors.
That might sound a little boring or old fashioned, but this approach has led our Hidden Gems members to some incredible investment opportunities.
Here are just a few of our recent fortune-building stock picks and their locked-in gains:
- Walter Industries -- 207% gains
- Innophos -- 197% gains
- Saucony -- 155% gains
In each case, these Hidden Gems could've more than doubled your money in less than two years, whereas a like amount invested in an S&P 500 Index Fund would have lost you 10% per year.
Of course, not all of our Hidden Gems are such big winners. And our Hidden Gems service isn't for everyone. In fact, we designed it for serious investors who want to discover small, cutting-edge companies that can hand them huge investment returns over time.
And not only do we lead our members to these huge profits, but we also help them STEER CLEAR of the flashy, high-risk, low-quality stocks that other advisors recommend, because these almost always end up losing you money.
Let me show you what we look for and what you can count on getting in the companies we recommend when you become a Motley Fool Hidden Gems member at no risk:
- Experienced, shareholder-friendly management
- Pristine balance sheets
- Visionary founders with MEANINGFUL stakes
- A competitive edge
- Massive potential for growth
In other words, these are companies that you can buy with confidence and hold on to for years to come... companies that help you build your wealth faster than you ever thought possible...
Companies that could build the investment fortune you've always hoped you might one day secure! Companies just like this one...
It's about to take the international wind market by storm -- yet Wall Street is still completely in the dark!
BTM Consult -- the world's foremost wind-energy experts -- report that since 2004, China's wind market has grown at a mind-blowing 93%-per-year clip, and that China is making remarkable progress in building up its own wind industry.
With that in mind, Hidden Gems advisors Seth Jayson and Andy Cross began searching for a perfectly positioned Chinese wind-energy play that could deliver huge returns for our members...
Of course, these are the two lifelong investors I picked to run our Hidden Gems portfolio.
Over the past few months, you've probably seen one of them on ABC, CNBC, or MSNBC discussing how individual investors can take advantage of the market panic. Or perhaps you've heard them on NPR... or downloaded one of their extremely-popular Podcasts off iTunes.
Or maybe you even read Seth's article in Fortune last winter. I imagine you'd remember it... it raised more than a few eyebrows.
You see, while everyone else was predicting a short-lived market "correction" and pumping Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers, and Goldman Sachs, Seth warned that a recession was imminent -- and that investors should avoid the financial sector at all costs.
That was a great call, to be sure, but his next call could prove to be an even better one...
Seth and Andy are now both extremely bullish on the future of stocks, and small-caps in particular. That's because they are students of Warren Buffett, who has always preached, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."
And just like Buffett -- who has made some major purchases recently -- Seth and Andy know that right now is THE TIME to snap up high-quality companies selling at all-time bargains.
Companies exactly like this Chinese wind-energy play... Just have a look at these positives from its most recent quarterly report...
- Profits soared 33% over the past twelve months during an environment when many companies lost money!
- Returns on equity sits at an impressive 24%
- Its top line has a 25% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past 5 years
What's fueling this incredible growth?
Well, for one thing, as part of its "5-Year Plan" for economic development, the Chinese government recently earmarked $65 billion for investment in the country's medium voltage electricity network.
And China's Ministry of Machinery has very strict regulations that require all the medium voltage transformers in public buildings to be made of cast resin.
And I'll bet you can guess who is the dominant player in China's cast-resin transformer market...
But here's the kicker...
As wind-energy initiatives have begun to take off both in China and around the world, this company's wind-power distribution products have taken off as well.
Not to mention cast-resin transformers require only a fraction of the maintenance and upkeep of their oil-based predecessors.
Considering the great majority of wind farms will be built in hostile, desolate environments -- with many being built miles offshore -- you can see why the wind boom should send sales of this company's flagship product through the roof.
Wind-based products are the fatest growing segment of its business and now account for 9% of its revenue (up from less than 1% a year ago).
And this number should ramp up even more significantly in the near future, thanks to its recent acquisition of a massive manufacturing plant in Shanghai that it plans to dedicate entirely to its wind-power products.
"Should this company hit the higher end of our growth model, shares could be worth north of $100."
Considering investors have indiscriminately sold this breakout stock all the way down to $50 a share in the recent market panic, you can begin to see why Seth and Andy think right now is a fantastic opportunity to build a position on the cheap.
Still, I wouldn't want you to make an investment decision solely on what I've told you here. And that's why I'd like to rush you a copy of the just-released premium report I mentioned earlier, "Power Plays: 3 Ways YOU Can Cash In On The Wind-Energy Revolution."
Seth, Andy, and their team of cutting-edge equity analysts put it together exclusively for our Hidden Gems members, but I'd like you to have a copy today...
It will give you an in-depth look at this company's history, business, and financials, plus the company's name, ticker symbol, and everything you need to make a sound decision.
And of course, all this valuable information is presented in plain, easy-to-understand English.
Even if you decide not to invest, I think you'll want to read this report cover to cover. After all, this may well be one of the most intriguing investment opportunities you'll come across in the next few years.
But equally important, it will show you exactly what you can expect from our Motley Fool Hidden Gems service...
And how investing in well-managed, perfectly-positioned small-cap stocks can help you give your loved ones everything they deserve... enjoy the comfort and security you deserve... and declare your financial dependence once and for all!

Costs the same per week as a single cup of good coffee
Okay, let's talk price, which really isn't much of an issue, considering the kind of fortune-building results we've been getting for our members...
Don't forget, Seth and Andy are building a best-of-the-best small-cap portfolio with REAL money -- and their top three positions have soared as much as 77%, 127%, and 145%. And that's on top of all the double-digit gainers we've led investors to in the past.
With results like these, you'd probably expect to pay thousands of dollars per year. Plenty of investors do... and get far less.
Of course, you could fork over 600 euro (or $750) to get your hands on BTM Consult's "World Market Update" report. That would give you all the hard and fast facts on where and when wind will really take off.
But then you'd have to drop another couple hundred on books like "The Clean Tech Revolution," "Green Investing," and "Profiting From Clean Energy," so you could make a short-list of companies to research.
And then you'd have to sink hours into digging through SEC filings, listening to conference calls, and other due diligence.
But, when you join us at Hidden Gems right now, you can forget about all that, because we've already done all the heavy lifting for you...
And when you accept my private invitation today, you can get all our wind-energy research and join Hidden Gems for one full year for just $199.
Surprised? Sure. That's just $3.83 per week. The same as you'd pay for a Starbucks Grande Latte.
But let me reiterate... the House has already voted, and now the Senate is rapidly moving towards passing the most progressive energy bill in our nation's history -- one that will seal the fate of wind-energy forever and could send shares of the companies I'm writing you about today through the roof.
In other words, these are not normal circumstances -- the time to act is right now. And to ensure you won't miss out on this historic investment opportunity, I have made it as easy -- and cost-effective -- as possible for you to join us today.
Of course, my invitation includes your complimentary copy of "Power Plays: 3 Ways YOU Can Cash In On The Wind-Energy Revolution" -- giving you everything you need to get invested in the two companies ready to dominate the domestic and international wind-energy markets and make a bundle of cash for investors who get invested right now.
You'll also get a 3rd "bonus" pick -- revealing an entirely different way to profit from our move to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
This little-known company is a long-time favorite of the Hidden Gems team... and the recent market panic has it selling at fire-sale prices.
In other words, if there's one stock you should snap up before the market rebounds -- this is it!
Plus, you'll get everything promised above, and a 30-day 100% Money-Back Guarantee!
And here's more good news...
Just Published! Stocks 2011: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead -- Yours Absolutely FREE!
Your shot at lucrative profits in 2011 awaits...
Money's flowing back into the market. And investor bullishness is creeping higher, reports the American Association of Individual Investors. The "return of retail investors argues for caution," argues The Wall Street Journal.
Following the crowd WILL NOT get you rich! That's precisely why Motley Fool co-founders David and Tom Gardner recently rounded up a team of the nation's top equity analysts and went to work indentifying those stocks that will continue to rise even after the euphoria subsides...
Stocks 2011: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead (a $99 value -- YOURS FREE!)
After exhaustive research and number-crunching, The Motley Fool's top stock-pickers emerged with 11 stocks that will uniquely position you for profits in 2011, including...
- A consumer goods company many are calling the Nike of China. It's conquered Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, and now has its sights set on launching higher-end brands in Tier 1 cities. If it can replicate its past success, it has the potential to "become the largest national brand in China."
- A leading purveyor of broadband telecommunications equipment -- an industry where consumption doubles every 18 to 24 months. Just a $1 billion company, it offers massive growth potential or will make a lucrative acquisition for a larger competitor like Cisco.
- An up-and-coming asset manager that has grown assets under management a mind-boggling 57% per year since 2004. It's out of favor on Wall Street, but when the sentiment turns, investors in this company stand to cash in on this tidal wave.
You'll discover these three top picks, plus eight more powerful profit opportunities, the instant you download your FREE copy of Stocks 2011: The Investor's Guide to the Year Ahead.

Many of our Hidden Gems members think so... Like this longtime subscriber from Melrose Park, Illinois, who writes...
"I can't believe I shelled out so little to gain so much in such a short period of time. My investment in Hidden Gems has me at a '68-bagger' in relation to the cost to join!"
Or like J.M., from Santa Rosa, California, who recently re-upped for two years and declares... "I have made multiples of my sign-up fee."
And hundreds of Hidden Gems members recently paid hundreds of dollars up front to lock in their Hidden Gems memberships for a 5-year commitment -- that's how valuable they think the service is!
Of course, I can't promise you 68 times your investment. But when you think back on the examples we've discussed today and consider the potential profits that await you... well, you can see that NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!
Especially when you consider that the risk is all mine.
Both valuable reports are yours the instant you accept this invitation to start profiting from Hidden Gems without risk today. Simply enjoy, evaluate, and profit from Hidden Gems for a full month. Keep it coming if you love it. Cancel within 30 days for a COMPLETE REFUND if you don't!
This may be your last chance get in before the big money is made
I'll be honest with you...
Not everyone is going to get rich off the wind-energy boom. In fact, most investors will miss out entirely. And somewhere down the road, they'll regret it.
So why not get the full story and decide for yourself whether you'll be one of the ones who strikes it rich...
Remember, the risk is all mine. You have nothing to lose -- and everything to gain.
The only catch is that you must act now. As with all life-changing investment opportunities, time is of the essence. Profit opportunities like this simply won't last!
You're just one click and mere seconds away from getting started.

Niagara Gazette — Dear Mainland Gratitude Groupies — The season seems to have arrived exceptionally early this year. It's time to give thanks — or, perhaps, not.
THANKS: To Colton. We don't even know your last name and have never been able to catch up with you ever since the frightful afternoon that Doug got home only to discover he'd left his wallet in his shopping cart at Tops, u-turned back, wheelied through the roundabout, and learned that a cart attendant named Colton had retrieved it, turned it in to customer service and gone off shift. Colton, if you were eating at our place, you'd be served first.
NO THANKS: To the big guy in the pickup truck who cut us off at the left turn into HSBC (uh, First Niagara, old habits die hard), zipped into a parking place and foot-raced Doug to the ATM. If you needed the money that badly, we could have loaned it to you ourselves, thanks to Colton.
THANKS: To Corey McGowan and Terry Klaaren, whose organization of the pioneering Taste of Grand Island, showcasing the vast and exquisite Plaza mural, satisfied palates, treated the eye and, generally speaking, just made us all proud. "Thanks" seems hardly enough, but we do have a few tickets left over.
NO THANKS: To the law unto itself known as the Thruway Authority, for the spontaneous and capricious night-time bridge closings, and for shuttering the local E-Z Pass Walk-In center while leaving three open in New York City. On the other hand ...
THANKS: To the E-Z Pass telephone operators, who have patiently walked us through several complicated changes in without a hint of irritation or condescension. It works.
NO THANKS: To another hurry-up driver, almost hitting us head-on at the tight and dangerous curve on Red Jacket near East Park. It had a vanity plate involving real estate, easy to remember by folks who might some time need such services.

No Congressional Cameos on 'Homeland,' Says Mandy Patinkin
The cast attended a special screening in D.C. Monday night.
Washington may be hot for "Homeland," but actor Mandy Patinkin, who plays Saul Berenson on the show, doesn't think any real inside-the-beltway types should grace the Showtime series.
"I don't want to mix it up like that," Patinkin told reporters Monday night during the show's season three premiere in Washington, D.C.
"I'm also not a fan of real news people ... showing up in films, either," he added. (He said this, coincidentally, as pundit-producer-actor hybrid Lawrence O'Donnell was arriving at the event.)
[READ: Showtime's 'Homeland' Features Next Prestige Drama Cliché]
"I think we should do what we do," Patinkin continued. "We're the reflections of what they're doing."
That being said, Monday's party at the Corcoran Gallery of Art was a blur of fictional Washington mixed with the real one. Stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis; Morena Baccarin, who plays Jessica Brody; Morgan Saylor and Jackson Pace, who play the kids Dana and Chris Brody, respectively, powwowed with Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., ABC's Martha Raddatz, Fox News Channel's Bret Baier, the New York Times' Maureen Dowd, half of CNN's new "Crossfire" team S.E. Cupp and Van Jones and many, many more.
"They don't need to be in make believe," Patinkin said of lawmakers. "They have a full plate in the real world and they don't have time to go be in a TV show in my opinion right now, there's too much happening."

Apparently the warming of squirrel tails isn't just a reflex, because they only do it around rattlesnakes. Confronted by gopher snakes, which can't sense heat, ground squirrels wave their tails vigorously, but don't bother to heat them up.

Authorities say a blaze that displaced dozens of people from a southwest Michigan apartment complex may have been sparked by a resident trying to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.
Fire Chief Jim Kohsel tells MLive.com that the resident apparently planned to eat the animal and was burning off its fur on a third-floor deck at the building in Ottawa County's Holland Township when the fire broke out Wednesday. Flames spread to the roof. Kohsel says eight apartments are destroyed and others damaged.
The resident's name wasn't immediately released.
Kohsel says a firefighter broke a toe. No residents were injured.
Resident Tiffany Camburn told The Holland Sentinel that she and her neighbors had to evacuate their apartments.

Swinging an ax in a threatening manner during an argument with a roommate has resulted in the arrest of a Dundalk man.
Jack Geiman, 47, of the 700 block of North Point Road, was charged with first-degree assault and is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, Baltimore County Police spokeswoman Cpl. Cathy Batton said Friday.
Police were called to the home at 2:14 a.m. Oct. 8, after receiving a call about an argument between two roommates, according to police reports.
The victim got into an argument with Geiman about Geiman's alleged drug use, Batton said.
During the argument, Geiman went to his bedroom, retrieved a "large ax" and started swinging it at the victim, according to the report.
The victim was not injured, according to the report.

Vote in our poll below, then share your thoughts in the comments section.
We'll leave the poll up all week then close voting at 9 a.m. Friday. At noon that day, we'll share your top local pick. Then be sure to watch the site over the weekend when we tally up the top votes and announce the tax preparer that got the most rave reviews across all of our Rhode Island sites.
Because this poll is not scientific, it is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined by the Patch editor, based on poll results and reviews on Patch Places. Please vote only once per survey, per Patch.

The Daily Star
---- — It is sometimes difficult — as President Barack Obama has discovered regarding Syria — to tell the good guys from the bad guys.
Especially when there would appear to be no good guys.
Back in June of 1943 — fully a year away from the Normandy invasion — British Prime Minister Winston Churchill found himself having to referee a dispute between Charles de Gaulle and Henri Giraud about who would lead the resistance movement in French North Africa.
As far as recognizing any French government, Churchill didn't really see any good choice between the haughty de Gaulle and the politically inept Giraud. Churchill advised his negotiator — future Prime Minister Harold Macmillan — to "play for time."
"There can be no question of our giving recognition until we know what it is we have to recognize," Churchill said in a cable. "See St. Matthew, chapter vii, verse 16: 'Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?'"
Obama is confronted with a similar situation as Congress ponders whether to punish Syrian President Bashir al-Assad for using poison gas on his own citizens.
Obama has been wary of aiding the rebels fighting Assad's regime because we really don't know what kind of government would emerge if the dictator were overthrown. By bombing Assad's troops, would the United States become — as some have called it — al-Qaida's air force?
Until he could "know them by their fruits," Obama's military hands were tied. That's until Assad deployed sarin nerve gas upon innocent civilians, crossing Obama's "red line" about utilizing chemical weapons.
Surveys have shown that Americans have little stomach for a major military operation in Syria. A majority in a poll this week say they are against bombing Assad's regime.
Great Britain will be sitting this one out after Parliament rejected any involvement in an attack on Assad. France will follow if America leads, but essentially, the United States would have to go it alone.
That's why Obama decided to seek congressional approval before launching cruise missiles and other weapons into Syria. If Congress rejects the president, it would be a major embarrassment, but if it approves, his hand is strengthened immeasurably.
By adhering to the War Powers Act by seeking Congress' OK, Obama's move strengthens not only his hand but American democracy.
We live in a very impatient society, with shrill voices wanting instant action, instant gratification. Amid this, Obama has chosen to take his time and gather support. If he succeeds, it could turn out to be brilliant politics as well as a necessary move to prevent future use of poison gas and ensure United States credibility.
We urge our New York members of Congress to vote for approval.

CANTON: Team basketball was prevalent during the 25th annual William Heichel Memorial Plain Rotary All-Star Classic on Wednesday at Malone University.
Girls and boys all-star teams from Stark County and Summit County met, and the Summit teams reigned supreme by securing both victories at Osborne Hall.
Wadsworth's McKenzie O'Brien earned the MVP honor for the Summit girls team, which won 103-77. She had 16 points, three assists and two steals in the opening game.
"This was a lot of fun to play against some of the best of the best," O'Brien said. "During the season we are really serious and we do like to have fun. It is nice to get out here with kids we played against and I guess you can say we have been rivals with throughout the year. Today, we became teammates and friends."
Norton's Cara Cook and Kenmore's Porshae Hearn both posted a double-double in the win. Cook finished with 14 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Hearn totaled 12 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals.
"This was a lot of fun because I have been playing with some of these girls or against them since third grade," Cook said. "I played pretty good, but I can play better than this. This is a really good way to end a really good season and a really good career at Norton."
The Summit Team led by double-digits for the majority of the game.
"It is different playing with girls you play against, and here we came out and played together and had fun," Hearn said.
The Summit Team finished with six players in double-figure scoring. The other three were Medina's Sarah Kinch (12 points), Firestone's Imani Scott (11 points) and Wadsworth's Rachel Goddard (10 points and five assists).
Twinsburg's Ashley Morrissette and Brooke Smith combined with Hudson's Hannah Boesinger and Archbishop Hoban's Meghan Donohue to account for the other 28 points.
"When you are playing in an all-star game and you see that kind of balance, you know that the kids come from great programs," said Twinsburg's Julie Solis, who coached the Summit Team. "They came here to play team ball."
Lake's McKenna Stephens led the Stark Team with 17 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, three steals and earned the MVP honor.
Massillon's Bre Peterson and Louisville's Jordon Monnot both scored 10 points. Canton Central Catholic's Aaliyah Dotson and GlenOak's Emily Evans each scored nine points.
Nordonia's Nick Piotrowski scored 16 points and was named the MVP for the Summit boys team, which won 113-110 in the second game.
"This was a great night for everyone," Piotrowski said. "It was an honor to play with all these guys. I loved playing with these guys and I had so much fun."
Archbishop Hoban's DeAllen Jackson scored 15 points, and Copley's Jayln Tyler added 13 points, six assists and four rebounds.
"I will remember playing with these guys and how fun of a group they were to be around," Tyler said.
The Summit Team outscored the Stark Team 38-18 in the third quarter to take control.
"We got back into the game with defensive pressure," Jackson said. "Coach told us to get up in them and make sure to speed up the tempo and force them to turn over the ball."
Twinsburg's AJ Edwards had a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Barberton's Scott Sabol (13 points), Nordonia's Chris Scott (11 points) and Green's Dan Fanelly (10 points) also reached double figures.
"This is an awesome night for all of these kids," said Nordonia's Matt Cash, who coached the Summit Team. "Obviously, it is an all-star team. It would be nice to have these kids on a day-in-and-day-out basis to play in the regular season and tournament. This is just a fun time to see all these seniors."
Hudson's Zack Brandy combined with East's Demetrius Ray, Norton's Tyler Sherman and Walsh Jesuit's Mark Mittiga to account for the other 19 points. Perry's Jeremiah Jackson scored 25 points to guide the Stark Team and receive the MVP honor.
Other Stark players in double digits were North Canton Hoover's Dom Iero (17 points), Lake's Chaese Vaudrin (15 points), Canton South's Armond Fontes (13 points) and Marlington's Lucas Strouble (12 points).

Ask us a question:
Financial Aid Office
Flagler College acknowledges that financing a college education represents a major investment. We also realize that many students and families may need assistance covering the cost of college tuition. Flagler College conducts a comprehensive financial aid program to assist students and families in this endeavor. The primary purpose of the program is to make sure students are aware of the availability of financial aid and to provide the opportunity to apply for all available aid.
Applying for and Receiving Financial Aid
Financial Aid is money awarded to students to help pay their educational costs. It comes in the form of grants, scholarships, loans and employment. Grants and scholarships are called gift aid, since they do not have to be repaid. Loans and employment are called self-help aid, since students are helping themselves by either repaying the money loaned or working for the money. Loans are made at low interest rates and repayment does not start until after graduation. Employment involves working on-campus or at selected off-campus sites. To qualify for financial aid, students must either establish financial need or meet the other special requirements of a grant, scholarship or loan awarded without regard to financial need. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and other forms are required for this reason.
There are four basic sources of funds for financial aid at Flagler College:
Flagler College participates in all federal programs and all State of Florida programs (with the exception of those restricted for use at state universities or community colleges), as well as out-of-state programs that provide grants for use at Flagler College. Flagler College also provides its own funds in the form of various grants, scholarships and employment. In addition, some Flagler College students receive privately-funded scholarships and loans.

Comments about Vapour Organic Beauty Solar Translucent Bronzer, Simmer 222, .35 oz:
I loved this product BUTthe color i chose was to light so i didnt look tanned at all...i am olive skinned and tan very easily.. i was looking for a stronger tanned look on my face...there werent any suggestions for what color to use based on your skin color so i chose a lighter shade. The darker shade available scared me off thinking it would be too fake looking...but i did love that the product is natural and so light on the skin...i may decide to try the darker shade as i do want to have that glow. My current bronzer is great but full of chemicals.There should be suggestions to help you pick right color....

When Tim Leiweke, president/CEO of Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), which is trying to build a stadium and bring the NFL back to Los Angeles, said he spoke to five teams about relocating, the Bills were not mentioned. But there is plenty of reason to believe that when an NFL franchise returns to L.A., it could be the Bills.
Owner Ralph Wilson's position has never changed — the team will go to the highest bidder after he dies. While he has expressed his desire for the Bills to stay in Buffalo, it will be out of his hands.
To keep up with the rest of the NFL in profits and to overcome a small TV market, cheap tickets and a declining population, the Bills already have had to expand their brand, which includes selling games to Toronto.
CEO Russ Brandon discussed the team's future with multiple media outlets on the heels of the unveiling of new uniforms, pushing the Bills' regionalization in Ontario, Canada and Rochester, N.Y.
"Back 5-10 years ago, no one thought we would sell 160 suites, that we would sell 188 suites in the new NFL, so to speak. We were able to accomplish that by regionalizing," he said.
"We are very happy in Buffalo and we are focused on Buffalo," Brandon added. "Our focus is right here in Buffalo — point blank, period."
One key in the Bills' future lies in Ralph Wilson Stadium. The stadium's lease with Erie County is up at the end of 2012. Brandon said he has talked with Chris Collins, the county executive, about the lease, but he said that not much could be done without a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The buyout of the lease is reportedly very low.
The proposed new CBA is expected to require teams to spend most of the salary cap, something that could hurt small-market teams like the Bills. Combining all the economic factors going against Buffalo, a move to L.A. makes sense, where regionalization isn't necessary and the TV market is huge.
Another thing to consider is the AEG group wants to not only build a stadium but also put up the money to own the team and bring it to L.A. The Bills, unlike the Vikings, Chargers and Rams, will be up for sale sooner than later, as Wilson is 92 years old.
The Bills do have one of the NFL's most dedicated fan bases, a history of success (though not recently) and they are showing signs of improvement on the field. But the way we hear it, that might not matter when the team gets a new owner, and that the Bills are a very viable candidate to relocate.

After a screening of "Zero Dark Thirty" for Sony Pictures executives in September, studio co-chair Amy Pascal gathered the filmmakers in her office on the Culver City lot and uncorked bottles of Champagne.
Elation and confidence filled the air, recalled William Goldenberg, an editor on the film who was there to share a toast with a group that included director Kathryn Bigelow, screenwriter Mark Boal, financier Megan Ellison and line producer Colin Wilson. "The [executives] were really high on the movie," Goldenberg said. They said [star] Jessica [Chastain] was going to win the Oscar. They called it brilliant. It was a great day."
