It can't get much better than this. Even dear old Dr. Pangloss scarcely could have written a better script for the stock market than what actually occurred in the first quarter.
In true melodramatic fashion, 2013 got off to a scary start as we seemed about to hurtle over the fiscal cliff -- only to avoid crashing into the abyss in the wee hours of New Year's Day. Then came sequestration on March 1, a term few could define let alone understand before that date. The dreaded Ides of March this time brought a crisis in the tiny Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, which appeared to subside by the quarter's end.
And in the tradition of melodramas, the U.S. stock market overcame those obstacles to triumph in the end. First, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eclipsed its previous high of October 2007, and the Standard & Poor's 500, after a series of failed attempts, finally managed to get past its previous closing high on Thursday, the final trading day of the week, month, and quarter before the market took off for Good Friday. Those who stayed through the entire performance were amply rewarded, with the Dow industrials returning 11.9% (including dividends) for the quarter. That gain accounted for almost all of the blue chips' 13.4% total return for the past 12 months. As for the S&P 500, the first quarter was good for a 10.6% total return, bringing the 12-month return for the large-capitalization-stock benchmark to 14%.
And in the tradition of The Wizard of Oz (the original, not the prequel), there was no place like home for American investors. Small- and mid-cap stocks, which tend to be more domestically focused, outdid their bigger, multinational counterparts, with the Russell 2000 returning 12.4% for the first quarter and 16.3% for the latest 12 months, and the S&P MidCap 400 posting returns of 13.5% for the quarter and 17.8% for the 12 months.
Venturing abroad didn't pay in the latest quarter, as the U.S. proved a haven in a world of woe. That helped lift the dollar, reducing returns when translated from depreciating foreign currencies. In greenback terms, the MSCI EAFE (which tracks developed markets outside the U.S.) returned 5.2% for the quarter, having been juiced by an 11.7% surge in Japanese stocks (which rose 21.5% in yen terms). Emerging markets lost ground in the quarter, with the MSCI EM price-only index off 2.1% in greenback terms and 1% in local currencies.
ALL OF WHICH SHOWS it doesn't pay to worry about such things as fiscal drag, the inevitable rise in interest rates, the ever-more precarious situation in Europe, and the uncertain outlook in China. Indeed, these are reasons to be bullish. With risks abroad and interest rates near zero, it's been dubbed a TINA market -- as in There Is No Alternative to U.S. stocks as a place to store your money.
Clearly, nobody should care that the Congressional Budget Office figures the reversal of the 2% payroll tax cut and the tax hikes on upper-income earners that took effect on Jan. 1, plus the sequestration cuts, could shave 1.5% or more off of gross domestic product growth in 2013. Ignore, too, the fact that the 99% are trying to maintain their spending despite losing more of their paychecks to taxes, or a 70% jump in food-stamp recipients since 2008, to a record 47.8 million.
The 1%, meanwhile, have a windfall of extra dividends paid at the end of 2012 before the taxes on payouts were hiked for hoi polloi, as had been anticipated as part of the deal to avoid the fiscal cliff.
A disintegration of the euro zone and an end to the common currency also are reasons to be bullish. If you're a rich European, where would you want to stash your wealth -- a Cypriot bank or U.S. stocks? Not only did large depositors in Cyprus have to take a haircut, but Cyprus became a roach motel where cash could come in but couldn't get out. Effectively, a euro on that island is different from one in Germany, Spain, or even Slovenia. Think what would happen if a Rhode Island resident couldn't withdraw dollars or move to Massachusetts or New York. Oh, well, it's only Cyprus. As for Italy not having a functioning government, what else is new?
And rising bond yields are likely to impel investors who have poured billions into fixed-income funds to shift in the much-heralded Great Rotation into equities. So far it hasn't happened to any discernible degree. It may take something worse than the minus 0.12% total return on the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index in the first quarter to induce individuals to stampede into equities. Of course, steep capital losses in bonds would be just the lure to get folks to venture into riskier assets.
Finally, it is futile to fight the Fed as it keeps short-term interest rates pinned to the floor and bends longer-term yields by purchasing Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities. While critics carp that the central bank may take losses on its bond portfolio if it ever has to sell securities, for now it is engineering returns that would make Stevie Cohen envious. By Wilshire Associates' estimates, U.S. stocks have increased by $1.9 trillion in value so far this year while the Fed has increased its holdings by some $274 billion. At a $1 trillion annual pace of purchases, just think what Bernanke & Co. can accomplish. Clearly, we can print our way to prosperity.
Happy April 1.
WHATEVER ELSE IS SAID about the quarter, the winners have been a curious bunch, notably some companies all but left for dead last year.

Whether rational or otherwise, exuberance of a most curious sort has put the staidest of sectors in the lead, consumer staples. Some of that is because Big Pharma stocks have gotten their mojo back as their new-product pipelines get refilled to replace drugs that have gone generic. What's more striking has been the steady ascent of companies that provide the mundane necessities of life instead of medications that improve or extend life.

Only folks who actually go to the supermarket and stare in astonishment at the prices of cereal, paper towels, toothpaste or detergent wouldn't be totally shocked in the steady ascent of these stocks. In a widely repeated story that originated in New York Magazine, Tide has become a hot commodity in the inner city, where thieves brazenly steal the high-priced detergent and sell the jugs that go for $15 or more in stores for $5 in cash or $10 worth of drugs on the street.
These staples stocks also are commanding rich price-earnings ratios, some upwards of 20 times this year's forecast earnings, even though some of their earnings are likely to grow in the single digits, which speaks volumes about investor attitudes. In an uncertain world, no price seems to be too high to pay for this sector's relatively assured cash flows and decent dividends.
Taken a step further, Société Générale strategist Andrew Lapthorne attributes consumer-staples stocks' outperformance to their ability to cushion losses during times of market turmoil. "Essentially, fund managers are not seeking yield but buying downside protection, and in a world where market shocks are more common, the resulting premium is perfectly understandable," he writes in a research note. Indeed, consumer-staples stocks have performed in line with lower-risk high-yield bonds until recently -- when these stocks have pulled away from junk bonds.

Procter's stock also has had the attractive attribute of actually rising in price, up some 30% from the lows of mid-2012. But the leadership from companies that peddle such pedestrian wares is cause for caution in this stock market.

My Family will remember this expereince always!!!!!! – Our server Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! It was my wifes birthday and we could not find a sitter so we had to bring our son. I was worried that there would be an issue with children but when we arrived the hostess asked if my son would like to watch a movie? They provided a portable DVD player and the movie BOLT with headphones. I could not belive it! the meal was wonderful and the service was wonderful! I can not wait to back! Sorry Mortons:(
It was a memorable experience and we didn't spend alot of $$ – My husband and I went for his birthday. I was quite suprised when I opened the menu and saw over 300 wines. As I looked at the list I was even more suprised to find several wines for $30.00. We had a 5 course Dinner for $49.00 each. We've been to Ruth's Chris before for thier specials but they did not come close to the dinner we had at Capital Grille. We considered it one of the greatest expereinces dining out and for $98 for dinner for 2 and $30 for wine we can go back to restaurant next week! I think the promotion is over in April but I'm not sure.
The best restaurant EVER!!! – We had the best service at this restauarant. Laine was great and though the restaurant was full we felt like we were the only table in the establishment. My husband can't wait to go back for his birthday next month.
Maybe Great Wine, but not when it is on you... Good Location, Great Atmosphere. – We went to the Capital Grill for a celebration (BD); It was very impressive when you walk in, the decor is wonderful, very nice!!!, the service at the table was ok.... Until the bottle of Red wine was knocked into my lap. They helped to clean it up, and apoligized for the disruption. The food was good, but I have had better. Overall it wasn't a great first outing there. I may consider them later, but not anytime soon. FYI, we paid the full price for the meal, $600.
FANTASTIC! – The food was great, from the appetizer's to the dessert. We plan on going back very soon. If you are looking to celebrate a special occasion, this is the place.
Blew Ruth's Chris out of the water!!! – My wife and i went for our 25th anniversary. I let the girl on the phone know. They had Roses on the table, the server brought out a champange toast, and took our picture and framed it, there was a card signed by the staff, and we hadn't even looked at the menu yet. The food was great! The service was great! My wife said this was the most romantic anniversary yet.... Thank you Capital Grille!
Great place for a special occasion. – I took my husband for dinner for our anniversary. The steak was the best we'd ever had! I just recieved a hand written note from my server Jennifer in the mail. Nice touch.
I had the best time on my birthday – I just had to let everyone know what a great time I had at this restaurant everthing was fabulous!!!
This Chef has talent!!! – I went with a party of 8 Friday night and all though the place was quite busy we were sat about 15min after our resevation time. The bartenders were most entertaining to fill the void while we waited. One of the bartenders gave us a taster of a drink she called a stoli boli. We were so happy with the flavor of the martini we all ordered around of stoli boli's. After we were seated the server did a top knotch job of going over the menu. She also recomended the chef special. It was a Filet Mignon topped with Foe Gras in a Port truffle wine sauce. It was the greatest! I can't wait to go back to try something new!
This place is first class!!!!!! – My wife and I went for dinner tonight. We called for a 8:30 reservation and the hostess they only had 9:30 and after. I took the reservation on the time they had available. About 3 hours later I got a call from the General Manager who let me know that the 8:30 reservation I initialy requested was available. I of course took it, but even more important who does that? What a magical night it was! I let the General Manager know it was a special night for my wife and I celebrating an early mothers day. He had a carnation on the table for my wife along with a card signed by the staff. The whole evening was just memoralbe, the food, the service, the hospitality were all first class! I will be back as often as possible.

Brazilian journals discuss media & the 2005 U.S. presidential election with Vice Chancellor Frank Gilliam
Just as the U.S. presidential election this November generated an unusually high level of interest -- even passion -- among the American electorate, so it seems to have provoked intense interest, and concern, all around the world. In the months leading up to the election, international visitors to UCLA often discussed the election. On August 26, a five-member delegation of Brazilian journalists came to UCLA precisely to discuss the election. The journalists were in the United States on a three week tour as part of the project "U.S. Media and Elections," funded by the Department of State. At UCLA, they meet with Frank Gilliam (Professor of Political Science, Director of the Center for Communications and Community, and Associate Vice Chancellor for Community Partnerships), an expert in mass media and electoral politics to discuss the relationship between the media and democracy.
The meeting began with a brief introduction by Dr. Gilliam and continued with an open and impromptu Q&A about the American media and their affect on the 2005 election.
Q: What are your conclusions about the behavior of the media?
A: Gilliam replied that he is a critic of the broadcast media. The episodic nature of television news tends to offer a distorted view of social issues and does not promote a comprehensive understanding of the issues. The print media, though, does a somewhat better job. Print is more thematic and is able to explore issues in greater depth and to provide more content.
Gilliam stated that the U.S. media are wedded to the notion that there are two sides to every story, and therefore it is their job to explore both sides, thus making their approach "democratic." In reality, however, this is a shallow view because sometimes the media present only one side in depth and whatever they may have to say about the "other side" is only added for rhetorical value. For example, the issue of tobacco: this involves a rhetorical stance that obscures the issues and causes antidemocratic impulses.
Gilliam mentioned that a few nights earlier he gave a commentary on a local news station regarding the swift boat ads and raised the point that the there is a need for such rhetorical debates because its good theater. It is the sort of thing that captivates people. But the problem, Gilliam pointed out, is that this sort of debate does not allow for a discussion of the real issues.
Q: But isn't that what viewers want to see?
A: "That's what they say. However, a number of media outlets have deemphasized this sort of 'debate' and it has not lowered viewership." The question is, What leads? Where is balance to be found? Gilliam argued there needs to be more balance.
Q: In reference to the swift boat ads, is it appropriate to talk about Bush?
A: "It's a tactical error on Kerry's part not to challenge Bush's record. Having said this earlier on one of the local television stations, there is no disputing that he served his country and that he was in the fight and he was decorated. It was wartime and a lot of things were going on at the time, they were in the jungle, there was a lot of drug use, it was years ago, but no one wants to talk about those things. When Clinton ran, he said that every time they hit him, he'd hit back. What he was doing was responding to criticism without looking negative."
This is not the media's fault, but rather the fault of Kerry's campaign for not dealing with the issue in a tactical way.
Q: Kerry is obviously not a showy man, but he is the one who brought up Vietnam, so is it not fair game?
A: "The problem with the American left is that they don't understand that when having a conversation with the public you can't tell them it's a complex process." It is not, Gilliam emphasized that answers should be simplistic, but in this case the issue can be simplified to "I served, you didn't." It is obvious, Gilliam contended, that the swift boat ads are tied somehow to the Bush camp, but it is up to the Kerry campaign to point that out.
Q: After watching the press, I noticed that African American groups have been given little attention in Kerry's campaign. Does the Republican camp do a better job?
A: "No. The Democrats know Blacks don't vote for the Republicans. There is some energy in the African American community that would like to get rid of Bush, but I don't know if its enough to mobilize enough Black voters. The Democrats take the African American community for granted."
Democrats, Gilliam continued, do think they can win in the South, but the issues that the African American community cares most about (jobs, provision of services in the inner city, law enforcement) are not the issues of white middle class voters, and it is to that group specifically that the Democrats are to appeal to.
Q: People in New York told us that that voted for Republicans but that they still considered themselves Democrats. How can that be explained?
A: Gilliam responded that foreigners are often amazed at how cavalierly Americans take the right to vote. Sometimes in history they have taken it seriously, for example in the 1960s. Essentially there is no big difference between the two parties, Gilliam declared, which is why the electorate loved Clinton. His cabinet had great diversity and he clearly had life experiences with all different kinds of people. His own background, of course, is working class.
However, when voters look at Kerry, Gilliam explained, they see Yale and a privileged life. There is nothing that really distinguishes Kerry from Bush. If you are in the underclass, it makes no difference: they are still both white, privileged males.
Americans are very lackadaisical about the democratic process, Gilliam observed. For example, here in Los Angeles, in the last mayoral election, there was only a 23% voter turnout. There is as feeling that the country will survive with or without those votes.
Q: If the election were held today, I have heard that Kerry would win. What could the media do to assure Bush wins?
Gilliam replied "I don't think that Kerry would win. There is an equation that political science uses that says if after a convention, the incumbent's approval ratings are below 48%, then the incumbent will lose."
The current swift boat ads have captured the media's attention, Gilliam remarked, which has not allowed Kerry to talk about the issues. "We have not even heard the term 'Stronger at home,' since the convention and that's a big part of his platform. I think the real test will be the debates." Bush appears folksy, simple, tough, and aggressive. Gilliam noted those are traits people respond to. He is the kind of guy you want to have a beer with. But, Gilliam added, how well Bush will do in the debates remains to be seen, because he is not a "thinking guy." The question in the minds of many voters will be, Does Kerry look presidential? Is he tough enough?
The media coverage in the 2005 campaign, Gilliam argued, shows that conservative media have developed a voice. Fox, and to some extent MSNBC, are partisan. The same goes for talk radio; the right is hammering Kerry. On the other hand, the 9/11 report had a lot of criticism of the current administration, yet the media have not had adequately reported on this.
Q: Do the media reflect their owners?
Gilliam replied: In the case of Fox, yes. Research has showed that that is the case with Rupert Murdoch. All the others are reflective of a dominant culture/world view. But it is the boards, the executives who exercise great power. And they are a very homogeneous group.
Q: Is the movement of Fox to the right something recent? Will it continue? And if it does, will a leftist alternative emerge?
A: Gilliam's answer: "Yes, yes, and yes." Fox will likely continue to move further to the right, and at some point it is likely that some benefactor of a leftist alternative will emerge.

WGC-Bridgestone Invitational
Hunter Mahan won for the second time this year, coming from four shots back to start the day to win the World Golf Championship - Bridgestone Invitational. Mahan ran off five birdies on the front nine to take the lead, then had three clutch par saves down the stretch to finish off a 6-under 64 and a two-shot victory over fellow FJ player, Ryan Palmer (FJ ICON style #52005). While both players wore FJ ICON golf shoes, Hunter went with a custom design through the MyJoys program. Hunter also wore a StaSof glove while Palmer opted for SciFlex. Mahan's victory locked up a spot on the United States Ryder Cup team as he is now No. 2 in points with only this week's PGA Championship remaining before the top eight Americans qualify. Hunter has played on the last three U.S. teams as a Captains Pick."That was my goal at the beginning of the year, to make the team on my own," Mahan said.Hunter shot a final round 6-under 64 to finish with a 12-under 268 total. He became the third American with multiple victories on the PGA TOUR this year, and likely will move to a career-best No. 12 in the world.Turning Stone Resort ChampionshipMeanwhile at the Turning Stone Resort Championship, it was a major accomplishment of a different sort for FJ player Bill Lunde (FJ ICON). Less than five years after he quit competitive golf, he earned a spot in next week's PGA Championship by winning the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Lunde shot a final round 6-under 66 to rally for a come-from-behind victory with a 17-under 271 total. "All these guys out here, you're never far from playing good. You can sit here and say, 'I'm playing awful, I don't know how I'm going to break 80 today,' but you're never that far off."Lunde made the weekend cut by one stroke and but trailed by only four heading into the final round following a 64 on Saturday. Lunde climbed to the top of Sunday's leaderboard with six birdies and a 30 on the front side. None of the success seemed possible to Lunde in 2005 when he stopped playing after a tough year on the Nationwide Tour. He went to the PGA TOUR's Q-School in November and didn't qualify for the second stage so found a job in real estate in Las Vegas. He returned to the Nationwide Tour in 2008 and took advantage of his second chance. He won the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational that year and finished fifth on the money list, which earned him a spot on the PGA TOUR in 2009."I tried to make an agreement with myself when I started playing again to ... if I could just have a better attitude right off the bat, I'd become a better player than I ever was before," he said. "And that was kind of my goal. Obviously it doesn't happen every day, but it's definitely better than it was and something I'll probably battle for the rest of my life. I'm just so competitive. I can't handle not playing well or bad breaks. It gets me down."
FootJoy ambassador Steve Stricker closed with a final round 1-under 70 to narrowly defend his title at the John Deere Classic. Stricker, who wore custom DryJoys through the MyJoys program and a Pure Touch Limited glove, saw his six shot overnight lead wilt to just two but was able to hold on and defeat fellow FJ player Paul Goydos (FJ ICON style #52062, SciFlex). Inclusive of Stricker and Goydos, 13 of the top 14 players on the leaderboard trusted FJ. Playing without the same razor sharp precision that had allowed him to record the lowest 54--hole total in PGA Tour history, Stricker played safe most of the day. However, he came through with a clutch birdie after driving into the trees on No. 17 and finished with a 26-under 258 total - a new record for the tournament."You don't want to give shots away and then you end up playing a little safer than you normally do and it leads to tougher birdie putts," Stricker said. "Then they creep in closer because they were playing some good golf."Goydos, who dazzled the golf world with his 59 in the opening round, shot a solid 66 but still fell short of dethroning Stricker, who won for the ninth time in his career. Both players boarded a plane Sunday night for Scotland and will compete in the Open Championship at St. Andrews this week. "Strick was hard to catch," Goydos said. "I tried and kept pushing and chipping and grinding and biting at him and doing what I could. But in the end, the putt he made on 17 was a world-class putt. That's what top five players do, that's what Ryder Cup players do."
Paul Goydos (FJ ICON black smooth calfskin bicycle toe, SciFlex glove) became just the fourth person to fire a 59 on the PGA Tour when he scorched TPC Deere Run yesterday during the first round of the John Deere Classic. Goydos birdied every hole on the back nine except for No. 15, where he holed a six-foot par putt to keep a sub-60 in sight. He finished off with three birdies, the last one from seven feet to join the most exclusive club in golf. You can read all about the round on pgatour.com or hear about it from Goydos himself in the video below (click here if video does not appear). One of the most amazing aspects of the day yesterday, in addition to Goydos' feat, is that it was nearly matched by the man who previously help the course record, Steve Stricker (Custom all-white DryJoys MyJoys, Pure Touch Limited glove). Needing an eagle at the last to reach 59, Stricker's approach appeared headed for the cup but curled around at the last second, leaving him a 2-footer for birdie and a first round 11-under 60. With a morning tee time on Friday, Stricker will have first crack at a repeat performance and also the opportunity to set the tone heading into the weekend. Stay tuned, this could get pretty wild!

How Do You Pronounce the Name Rowan?
I tried to search online, and most of the evidence supports the row-your-boat pronunciation---but many places give the "rowdy"-type pronunciation as a second or alternate pronunciation, if not as a first. It's additionally complicated because rowan and rowen are both nouns, and their pronunciations may or may not apply to the pronunciation of the name.
I'm going to put a poll over to the right, with a variety of answers to cover a variety of circumstances: I'd think we'd want a vote from someone who actually knows an actual Rowen or Rowan to carry more weight than a vote from someone who, like my mom and me, is just assuming a pronunciation. [Poll closed; see results below.]
Poll results for "How Do You Pronounce the Name Rowan?" (506 votes total):
I know someone; it's like Owen - 255 votes (50%)
I know someone; it's like rowdy - 2 votes (0%)
I know at least once pronounced each way - 1 vote (0%)
I don't know someone; I thought it was like Owen - 245 votes (48%)
I don't know someone; I thought it was like rowdy - 3 votes (1%)

In the books by Anne McCaffrey featuring a character with that name, it's pronounced like Owen, or at least the reader of the audios did.

I have a friend whose maiden name was Rowan, and she named her daughter Rowan. Her name rhymes with Owen.

Semi-related and always comes to mind when I think of Rowan: I know a family who named their son Rohan... Dad was a big "Lord of the Rings" fan, so it was after the Riders of Rohan - they actually included a map of Middle Earth in their birth announcement. They pronounced it either Ro-han or more like Row-hen.
- March 10, 2012 at 8:59 AM
I know many, many Rowans as It's a popular name in my area. They are all pronounced Row as in row your boat. This is true for both boys and girls.
- March 10, 2012 at 9:13 AM
Rowan Atkinson is RO as in row your boat. I've never heard anything resembling OW.
- March 10, 2012 at 9:24 AM
- Gemma said...
I'm from Scotland, and over here I would say it depends on whether it's a boy or a girl. If it's a girl. then ROW-an, like the tree. (I always thought that this was where the girls name came from in the first place?!) If it's a boy then RO-an, like Rowan Atkinson.

I know a Roan (no W) and it's pronounced like Owen. (I made sure to clarify when I first found out his name so I wouldn't be pronouncing it wrong!)
- March 10, 2012 at 10:31 AM
- Sarah Marie said...
I've mostly heard it pronounced "like Owen with an 'r'" but I've also heard it pronounced Row(as in, row the boat)-ahn. I think the latter is a pretty unusual pronunciation.

My husband's middle name is Rowan and he pronounces it like Owen.

The neighbours who live behind my parents house have a son named Rowen, and it's like Owen-with-an-R.
I was going to ask about the name "Roan". I see another commenter mentioned it! I wasn't sure if that was pronounced the same as Rowen (Ro-an) or like "Rone" (rhymes with roam, but with an n?). Maybe it can be either way?
- March 11, 2012 at 10:04 AM
Rowan - like rowing your boat, like Owen with an R. That's how Rowan Atkinson and Rowan Williams (Archbishop of Canterbury) pronounce their names.
- March 11, 2012 at 3:37 PM
- Jen said...
I don't know anyone with the name but I couldn't vote on the poll because when I see Rowen, I pronounce like Owen and when I see Rowan, I pronounce like Ow.
- March 12, 2012 at 8:20 AM
A rowan is a kind of tree! It rhymes with Owen.
- March 12, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Yes, lots in our area and always Owen-with-an-R. That's the traditional pronunciation as well. Rohan is another name all together, which is why it has a different pronunciation. If you want the "rowdy" sound, I would look at alternate names since you will be endlessly correcting people!
- March 12, 2012 at 5:14 PM
Owen with an 'R' for sure. I grew up with several Rowan's, as it is quite popular where I live, and I have only ever heard it pronounced like this.
- March 12, 2012 at 6:15 PM
- Firegirl said...
The only time I've heard the name is in movies/television.
A character in October Road is named Owen Rowan and it rhymed.
I think it's one of those names that it depends where you live as to how it's pronounced.
- March 14, 2012 at 5:35 PM
My daughters name is Rowen, it's like Owen. I did not spell it RowAn because people say RoAnne instead of the way it is meant to be prOnounced. Hope this helps :)

MONTROSE – A pair of local Broncos fanatics will make the pilgrimage to professional football's biggest stage Sunday hoping to see Peyton Manning and the Broncos hoist the Lombardy trophy.
Todd and Maya Haynes of Montrose will watch Super Bowl XLVIII live from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., featuring the NFL's most potent offense in the Denver Broncos, versus arguably the NFL's best defense, the Seattle Seahawks.
Both teams were each the number one seed in their conferences, and for just the second time in 20 seasons, the two number one seeds will meet to the decide the championship. Game time is Sunday, Feb. 2, 4:30 p.m. ET, 2 p.m. Colorado on FOX.
Todd said he scored the tickets online just after the final seconds of the NFC Conference Championship, with Seattle defeating San Francisco 23-17.
"We wanted to get them before all the Seattle people got them," Todd said. "We went online right after the game ended, while they were still taking the field.
Through the NFL's ticket exchange, with ticket prices ranging from $2,000 to $89,000, Todd bought two of the cheapest tickets available for seats about 40 rows from the field, overlooking an end zone. Using credit card points, the Hayneses found cheap airline tickets. fare from Colorado to New York.
Maya said she has family in the New York area and Todd said he wanted to pay his respects at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. It's the trip of a lifetime, and they'll be able to visit and go sightseeing in New York – Maya has family in New York, and Todd plans to pay his respects at Ground Zero. And while going to the Super Bowl is the highlight of the trip, "We don't want to rub it in," Todd said, about going to the game.
"We're just kicking some things off the old bucket list," Maya said. "We couldn't justify" the trip to the Super Bowl all on its own, "but since we have some family, many in their 90s, it makes more sense to combine everything into one big trip."
Todd said they are leaving some time unbooked, just in case the game gets moved to Monday, due to weather conditions.
Todd, a Montrose native, is a lifelong Broncos fan. Maya, who is from California (and grew up with San Diego and San Francisco fans in her family), had hoped to see the 49ers beat Seattle to play the Broncos, which "led to some bickering, but it's all in clean fun," she said. "I like the Broncos organization; it's a pretty classy group."
Todd says the cold-weather Broncos will be better suited to New Jersey winter conditions, but it's debatable how game-time conditions will affect the game.
"If it's not bad weather, I predict we're going to win by seven," Todd said. And if it is bad weather? "We'll win by three."
The couple agree that the Broncos' defense that will have to step up if the team is going to win, with Todd hoping to the Broncos don't get into a "shootout" with Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.
"I felt in the last game, they really stepped up," Todd said of the Broncos' defense. "We rely on Peyton to score a lot of points and the defense hopefully stopping them once or twice.
"You can't win a game without it," Maya said confidently of the Bronco's defense.
The Haynes of Montrose are used to watching football in cold weather, but they're looking forward to the "butt warmer, gloves and earmuffs" the NFL is giving to each fan attending Sunday's game.
In the fall, the couple are regular attendees at Montrose High School games.
"We support high school football," said Maya. "We love the game."

"West Side Story" (at the Palace, under the sure-handed direction of Arthur Laurents, who wrote the musical's original book) is so exciting it makes you ache with pleasure. All the defining forces of the American fifties—velocity, mobility, confidence—are condensed into this superb retelling of the Romeo and Juliet legend, which plays out against the background of Latino-versus-Anglo gang violence. Like the tail fins on fifties American cars or the parabolic shapes of Populuxe furniture, "West Side Story" incarnates the dream of momentum in the golden age of the twentieth century. Everything about the show is streamlined: the fluid jolt of Jerome Robbins's choreography; the exhilarating syncopation of Leonard Bernstein's symphonic score; the bravura concision of Stephen Sondheim's lyrics; the swiftness of Laurents's storytelling—the book is one of the shortest in the history of the musical. The début of the show, in 1957—a production I saw—also marked the moment when the musical asserted its right to treat just about any subject (murder, rape, bigotry) as grist for popular entertainment. "West Side Story" is somehow both airborne and transcendent.
When a show succeeds, especially if it involves a collaboration, the story of its origins becomes the greatest fiction of all. Bernstein called "West Side Story" "my baby"; Robbins, to whom no one was speaking by opening night, signalled his imperialism over the enterprise by contractually requiring a box around his billing in every production of the show. Now the ninety-one-year-old Laurents is laying his claim to ownership: in this bold makeover, the story rules. From the musical's first beats—which tone down the finger-snapping thrust of Bernstein's signature prologue with pauses that allow us to take in the individual gang members—Laurents announces his intention to leave his fingerprints on the classic. They don't smudge its beauty; in fact, his attempts to heighten the show's realism only enhance it. In his version, the gang members actually look like teen-agers; the Latina chorus girls are not Broadway beautiful; the costumes (by David C. Woolard) and set designs (by James Youmans) explore the subtle, shadowy ranges of a color palette that takes the show away from glitzy spectacle and toward a grittier, more muted stylization. By eliminating blackouts between scenes, Laurents also adds to the story's tension. The evening as a whole feels sculpted—no gesture, no word, no visual choice is arbitrary or wasted. Laurents's most innovative touch is to have the Puerto Ricans sometimes speak and sing in Spanish. Fifty years on, in a multicultural America, this decision makes the production feel fresh; it also allows the show to dispense with some of Sondheim's rookie mistakes. In "I Feel Pretty," for instance, he had Maria, an uneducated Puerto Rican teen-ager, only a month in New York, singing with such showy internal rhymes as "It's alarming how charming I feel." ("When rhyme goes against character, out it should go," Sondheim said in 1974, with the wisdom of years.)
It is Laurents's great good fortune to have found for his tale of star-crossed love the radiant Josefina Scaglione, a twenty-one-year-old Argentinian, who is at once fine-voiced and sweet-faced. She is plausibly a teen-ager and absolutely a star. Unlike many North American ingénues, who are technically expert but internally vacant, Scaglione is a whole person. Passionate, playful, and demure, she sings out of a centered, secure notion of womanhood. When Tony (the excellent Matt Cavenaugh) spots Maria at the local high-school dance—one of Joey McKneely's many sensational reproduced choreographic moments—he is instantly under her spell, and we are, too. Scaglione's innocence and sweetness are underlined by the shrewd casting of the rollicking Karen Olivo as Maria's older confidante, Anita, who is also the flamboyant, knowing girlfriend of Maria's brother, Bernardo (George Akram), whom Tony accidentally stabs during a gang dustup. With such a sweeping canvas, the musical's characterizations are necessarily two-dimensional; the actors must bring a vivid sense of personality to their roles. Here, for the most part, they succeed.
As "West Side Story" hurtles to its inevitable tragic conclusion, the audience is treated to astonishing moments of stagecraft. We enter the hubbub of the school dance, for instance, through a sort of hanging garden of paper roses. We watch the final playground fight through a chain-link fence that drops down between us and the lethal skirmish—a trope that both magnifies the authenticity of the horror and forces the audience to focus on the story's outcome. When Maria discovers her dead lover, the moment is like a punch to the heart.
A rumble of an altogether different kind takes place in the French playwright Yasmina Reza's dark and hilarious farce "God of Carnage" (elegantly directed by Matthew Warchus, at the Bernard B. Jacobs), which in Christopher Hampton's excellent translation has been relocated from Paris to the comfortable upper-middle-class environs of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. In a handsomely minimal haute-bourgeois apartment (designed by Mark Thompson), a turf war takes place over a blood-red carpet, a coffee table chockablock with art books, and two elegant glass vases overflowing with white tulips. Instead of the Jets and the Sharks, the Novaks (Marcia Gay Harden and James Gandolfini) and the Raleighs (Hope Davis and Jeff Daniels) face off over the loutish playground behavior of their kids. Michael and Veronica Novak's aggrieved eleven-year-old son Henry has had two teeth knocked out by Alan and Annette Raleigh's son, Benjamin. "Madame, our son is a savage," Alan, a cell-phone-addicted model of glib Gallic cynicism, explains. "To hope for any kind of spontaneous repentance would be fanciful." Where the upper classes of the turn of the last century fought with property, these vindictive twenty-first-century Homo sapiens fight with principle. "I don't see the point of existence without some kind of moral conception of the world," Veronica, who is publishing a book on Darfur, says. She believes, she adds, "in the soothing powers of culture." In ninety minutes of sustained mayhem, however, Reza wipes the masks of sang-froid off her whole monstrous regiment and demonstrates just how thin a line lies between civility and barbarity.

I'll be listening carefully to the commentary, Paul.
shreik, woooooooo, shriek, wooooo. shriek..... lol
OH SHIT!!!!! Maria!!!!!!!! gosh I almost broke my hand, my wall and my computer, bad idea having breakable stuff around when Maria is playing! I really don't now what's going on...anyway she still did a good secoon set and on top of all Maria is just Maria so I love her regardless of almost suffering 20 thousand heart attacks
Well, it goes without saying that I'm sad about the result, but at the same time I must reconigze that Victoria was the best player today, she was more solid and consistent than Maria, I mean she had less unforced errors. Maria tried to fight back in the 2nd set, for some minutes I thought she would and the match could go to a 3rd one. But, a DF gave the 5-3 lead for Victoria, Maria got 4-5, but again Victoria was solid and didn't give Maria chances to equalize the match. Congrats to Victoria, she was the best player today, even Maria said that during the trophies ceremony. At least Maria is back to the top 10, what makes me really proud of her!Now the next tournament in Charleston, the beginning of the clay courts season, wish the best for Maria there!Let's see what will happen!
Let me start by saying that Victoria played OUTSTANDING tennis. Even the hardest serve of Maria was hit back very well. Played very strong and had also luck with some net balls. Maria's serve is getting stronger and stronger and has improved a lot . Against others she could have won but Victoria was from an other planet today. Maria's confidence is strong now and she is back on top level. Let's wish her good luck for the clay court season and with support of Sasha this time !! If anyone is able to publish the ceremony ,that would be great as Eurosport stopped right after the match.
Well, Philli, we had to notice here in the States that two & a half hours of CBS commentary carried NOT ONE WORD about Maria's ankle. Aw-hunh.
But that's neither here nor there in the actual world. Like most here, I'm not terribly exercised about this loss. Masha is re-established as a top contender.
Work to be done: I say again, the CONTROL issue--if you jot down all the DFs, UEs including long balls, net balls & wayward returns, you'll find there is a PATTERN of linkage with the DFS. Not as distinct as last year, so it's clear theyh are working on this. The upside is she hasn't become timid about going for the lines. Continued progress added to her greatly IMPROVED MOVEMENT on court will yield the desired results this year.
Congrats to Vika. Brebis is quite correct. More shortly, with some thoughts on the political-promotional aspects.
I was watching at eurosports too, but after the match I'd changed the streaming to other channel to watch the ceremony. Victoria said that she had to keep her solid because she knew that Maria would fight to comeback. And Maria recognized that Victoria was the best player today and deserved to be the champion.
the BBC report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sp...2/hi/tennis/12947169.stmAzarenka, 21, has now won six WTA titles and will equal her career-best of sixth in the rankings next week."I played really well in the first set but Maria is a great fighter and I had to really hang in there at the end," said Azarenka.Sharapova, 23, is without a title since last May and has now lost three times in the Miami final."It's obviously very disappointing given the other finals here as well but she was definitely the better player today and she has had a great tournament," said the former world number one, who made 43 unforced errors.
That what makes Maria such a true champion, she does recognise when somebody plays better and that's prety big of her...I wonder why other players find that so hard to do...example Serena
Yes just after the easy victory of Vika against Vera; we noticed that Victoria was ready for a strong battle at the final. Masha would have been ready for that. Any way Masha did her best. This time she was not the best. Good luck to Masha for future tournaments. Little by little Masha will reach the top of the WTA ranking. If she has Willpower, she will reach the top very soon. The more important point is the fact that she is concentrated on her tennis. I don't think that Sasha or a magician will help her. Concentration and work will pay very soon. Masha has every thing in her life.
Absolutely. Compatriots of the Union State of Russia & Belarus will be sure to respect one another.
The most interesting tidbit along those lines today: I was a tad curious when Mary Carillo (political sports-talk comissar joined at the hip to Bob Costas) related Vika's "coming to America" story more or less accurately -- leaving out the timeframes, of course.
Then I figured it out when Bill MacAtee told me something I hadn't known: "She's been spending more time back in Minsk lately..."
L-O-f'n-L! No way MacAtee even mentioned that unless it's a LOT more time! Something has changed that'll blow their "Arizona Vicki" tale outta the water. They can't get overly invested in her.
Fascinating how this stuff works.
Long ago, I labeled MJF, Mary Carillo, & Pammie Schriver the Three Witches of ESPN2. You think MJF is bad, you should have heard Carillo a few years back. Thru '06 & '07, every word outta herf mouth about Masha utterly dripped hatred. Since she did the Olympiad with Bob Costas in '08, Carillo has become more of a political heavyweight & has to watch herself.
Actually, the worst venom now is from Pammie, who CBS thankfully spared us today.

Qualified Idaho Wine Tax Return Filers May Opt for Less Frequent Filing
November 22nd, 2010
On November 5, 2010, Idaho State Tax Commission officials sent out a letter to qualified wine tax return filers, offering the opportunity to change their filing frequency from the mandatory monthly submission to quarterly, semi-annually or annually. "Qualified Filers" include direct shippers who report less than $600 of wine tax per quarter (approximately 186 9-liter cases per month) and have a good filing history. Recipients of letters from the department, in order to change their filing cycle for the upcoming year, must respond to the letter by December 1, 2010. Filers should continue to submit monthly returns until after January 1, 2011 when the new filing frequencies will come into effect. The Idaho State Tax Commission encourages qualified filers to take advantage of this opportunity; submitting returns less frequently will mean filers no longer need to submit returns for negligible amounts of tax and will reduce the amount of required paperwork.
Note: ShipCompliant users will see the new frequency options available on the Report Settings page at the end of December.
One Response to "Qualified Idaho Wine Tax Return Filers May Opt for Less Frequent Filing"
The monthly filings get old really quick, especially in smaller markets like Idaho where many of us simply don't have any (or many customers).
Hopefully more states adopt these kind of common sense solutions, especially given the ease of administration on their end.

UPDATE: Police called to siege in Burnley
10:00pm Monday 23rd December 2013 in News
A 36-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested on suspicion of assault following a siege in Burnley.
Armed police, dog handlers and a fire crew were called to Lowerhouse Lane, at around 4pm yesterday (MON).
Police said a man had barricaded himself in the house.
It is understood his mother had been assaulted, although she was not seriously injured.
The street was cordoned off and officers made an unsuccessful attempt to gain entry to the property at around 9.20pm.
Shortly after, they forced entry through an upstairs window and made an arrest.
As he was led away, the man yelled 'this is a dream come true for me' and was put in the back of a police van.
The street was reopened at 10pm.

125cc, 8.5bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
The Vity 125 is not a cutting edge scooter. It's not fast. It doesn't look good unless you've got a thing for the 80s. But it does the job and has one big saving grace – a £1,799 price tag which, for a trustworthy 125cc Yamaha, is very cheap.
125cc, 8.9bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Il Pino di Biserno is a rich wine endowed with considerable depth.

I can't wait to see how this..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A big, bold, ripe wine with firm tannins and dark, solid fruits. The wine has acidity coming from the black currant flavors. Continuing the impressive quality of wines from La Gaffeli?re, it has weight and a rich feel to it, along with a tight, mineral final texture. This is a wine that is elegant..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 is a wine to stockpile, especially for those in their thirties and forties as it needs another decade to reach maturity, after which it should keep for 30+ years. This vineyard, just south of Mouton Rothschild, has produced an opaque bluish/purple-colored 2006 with an extraordinarily pure..

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 is relatively forward and seductive, as one expects La Conseillante to be, with a dark ruby/purple-tinged color and a beautifully sweet nose of black raspberries, plums, kirsch, cedar, and licorice.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Champoux Vineyard is 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot. It spent 21 months in 35% new French oak.
