Special issue: Neuroendocrine control of appetite
Appetite and the brain: you are what you eat
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism
The phrase "You are what you eat" refers to the notion that to be healthy you need to eat nutritional food. It originally appeared in 1826 when Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a French lawyer, politician, and famous gastronome, wrote "Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es", which translates to 'Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are' [1,2]. The phrase resurfaced in the 1920s when nutritionist Victor Lindlahr used it in association with 'bad' food by saying that "Ninety per cent of the diseases known to man are caused by cheap food stuffs. You are what you eat."
Good nutrition and regular physical activity helps keep our weight under control, which in turn promotes better health, helps with disease prevention, and is of course crucial for the development and healthy growth of our children [3]. On the other hand, overnutrition and increased food consumption especially of high calorie foods with little nutritional value leads to excessive weight gain and obesity. Overnutrition and obesity result in serious and costly metabolic problems. Indeed, according to the CDC, approximately 35.7% of adults, and 17% of children and adolescents were obese in 2008, and this was associated with $147 billion in medical expences, in the USA alone [3].
Our brain responds to appetite signals and in order to regulate and/or restrict our food intake, appetite signals must be altered. The hypothalamus has emerged as a key region of the central nervous system where a number of peripheral signals such as gut hormones and adipose derived molecules, integrate with local signals to communicate information to our brain on the current state of energy balance. This month's issue of Trends in Endocrinology and metabolism (TEM), which is coordinated with an issue of Trends in Neurosciences, explores central and peripheral circuits that regulate our appetite.
The first three articles focus on central circuits that control processes such as feeding, energy expenditure, and body weight. The article by Xu et al eloquently describes the hypothalamic melanocortin system, comprised of neurons that express two types of melanocortin (MCR) receptors and neurons that express MCR endogenous agonists and antagonists, namely the anorexigenic proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptide a-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), and the orexigenic peptide agouti-related protein (AgRP), respectively. The review discusses the latest evidence showing that POMC and AgRP neurons act as central transceivers, integrating and transmitting information received from hormonal and neural signals, to peripheral tissues, in order to coordinate energy balance and food intake.
In the next article, Diano et al, focus on POMC and the therapeutic potential of modulating hypothalamic α-MSH levels, and describe painstaking efforts in the past three years to produce the tools for increasing central α-MSH concentrations. Emerging evidence suggests that a serine protease that degrades α-MSH, prolyl carboxypeptidase PRCP, regulates α-MSH concentration in the hypothalamus and as such plays an important role in the modulation of whole body energy homeostasis. Challenging efforts focused on creating brain-penetrant inhibitors of PRCP antagonists, to block the degradation of α-MSH to an inactive form unable to inhibit food intake, offer hope for a new therapeutic approach.
The third article focuses on central circuits affected by chronic hyperglycemia, during obesity. Bruning et al review the molecular basis of insulin action in the brain and new evidence showing how overnutrition driven central nervous system (CNS) insulin resistance impairs energy homeostasis and augments disease progression, in the adult. Equally detrimental are the effects of maternal overnutrition and obesity driven hyperinsulinemia in the fetus, as diabetes disrupts hypothalamic neuronal circuit development and predisposes for metabolic disorders later in life. Thus, understanding the basis of hypothalamic neurocircuit development in normal or during increased food consumption is imperative for developing novel preventative measures against obesity.
The remaining 3 articles discuss the brain-gut axis and the effect of gut derived peptides on appetite and satiety. Gut hormones, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and ghrelin, are released from the gastrointestinal tract in response to nutrients and communicate information regarding the current state of energy balance to the brain to regulate appetite, and energy expenditure. GLP-1 is a gut derived hormone and powerful appetite suppressor that binds to and activates GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1R), whereas the hormone ghrelin is a gut derived appetite stimulant. Moran et al discuss the satiety effects of GLP-1 and present evidence supporting the notion that both peripheral and central GLP-1 signaling pathways are involved in the control of gastrointestinal motility and food intake. However, GLP-1 analogues, although effective in decreasing appetite, they come with side-effects, which raise concerns about their utility for treating obesity. The authors point to the need to find alternative ways to activate this pathway and suggest that a better understanding of the precise GLP-1R populations that are stimulated under endogenous GLP-1-induced decreases in appetite, might help in designing effective obesity drugs without negative side effects.
The article by Depoortere et al focuses on nutrient sensing mechanisms in the gut and their potential as new therapeutic targets. Taste is the sensory modality designed to inform us about the nutritional qualities of the food we eat and gustatory processes involve not only oral but also gut expressed G-protein coupled taste receptors. Taste receptors respond to sweet, bitter, umami and fatty acids, to coordinate the release of appetite stimulating or suppressing gut hormones such as ghrelin and GLP-1, respectively, and regulate energy homeostasis. The authors suggest that obesity could be treated by selectively targeting nutrient sensors, on endocrine cells of the gut, to release satiety hormones, thereby mimicking the physiological effects of a meal and fooling the body to think that that it has eaten.
The final article in the TEM Special Issue focuses on an efficacious but rather intensive medical treatment in reversing the consequences of obesity, bariatric surgery. As elegantly discussed by Berthoud et al unlike caloric restriction, bariatric surgery does not activate central counter-regulatory responses such as hunger and craving but rather induces changes in the gut-brain axis signaling, and in the release of anorexigenic and orexigenic gut derived hormones, bile acids, and other unidentified factors, to reduce food intake. Bariatric surgery appear to permanently reset the level of defended body weight of an organism, and some mechanisms might involve changes in corticolimbic hedonic-motivational processes leading to a state of being content with less. More advanced non-invasive imaging methods to assess brain functions longitudinally, will help us understand if bariatric surgery makes patients feeling content with eating less or if they actually desire more food but can't eat.
In the TiNS Special Issue, you can find a diverse selection of review articles that discuss how central circuits remain plastic through adulthood to respond to short- and long-term changes in nutrient availability; the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the central control of feeding; how tanycytes detect and respond to changes in energy balance; the role of the prefrontal cortex and basolateral amygdala in modulating eating in response to learning about environmental cues associated with food; how circadian rhythms and clocks can also influence what and when we eat; the neurobiology of anorexia nervosa; how leptin influences the sympathetic nervous system and contributes to hypertension in obesity; and the mechanism of action of current and future anti-obesity drugs.
Collectively, these new and exciting findings underline the existence of rather complicated processes involving central and peripheral hormonal signals that become dysregulated by overnutrition, and emphasize some of the most promising areas for research and future exploration. We greatly appreciate the contributions that all of the authors and reviewers made to this special issue, and we hope you will enjoy the way that the article collection highlights different areas of current interest. All articles will be freely available during February on the TEM and TiNS websites. Also, we would welcome any comments or feedback that you have by email at email@example.com or via Twitter to @Trends_Endo_Met.

In a speech on education Thursday morning for the Association for a Better New York in Midtown, Republican mayoral candidate Joseph Lhota said that anyone who wants to weaken mayoral control of the city's schools is afraid of being held accountable, and he said he would not "pander" to the teachers' union. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.
There are some very clear differences between Republican candidate for mayor Joseph Lhota and his Democratic rivals. For starters, Lhota is effusive in his praise for Mayor Michael Bloomberg's record on education, while many of his opponents are not.
"Where is the support for all of the advances that have been made? Why aren't they rallying around Mayor Bloomberg?" Lhota said. "The answer is quite simple, for me, at least. They're all afraid."
In a speech on education before the Association for a Better New York, Lhota defended mayoral control of the city's schools and said that anyone who wants to weaken it does not want to be held accountable for student performance.
Lhota called for doubling the number of charter schools, and he voiced support for merit-based teacher pay, but he said the system will only work if individual teachers get the bonus. When the city experimented with merit pay a few years ago, officials were allowed to give out raises evenly among teachers at a school.
Perhaps the biggest difference between Lhota and many of his rivals is that he was not jockeying to get the endorsement of the United Federation of Teachers, which announced its support for Democratic candidate William Thompson Wednesday.
"I'm not going to pander to the union. We've just gone through all that," Lhota said. "I'm willing to cooperate with the UFT, I'm willing to sit down with them and to negotiate, but let me tell you, I'm not going to give them a back rub in an election year like so many other candidates."
Lhota said he wants to work with the teachers' union to improve the school system, but he admitted that he has not met with UFT President Michael Mulgrew.
"He knows who I am. I know who he is. That's about the extent of it," Lhota said.
Meanwhile, one of Lhota's Republican opponents, businessman John Catsimatidis, released a new television ad with former Governor George Pataki among those touting his campaign
Pataki says in the ad, "Look, John wants to give every New Yorker a chance, like he had."
Catsimatidis then says, "And if I can do it, you can do it too."

Room 180
Mobile Development Meets Design Thinking
With mobile phones now globally ubiquitous (more than 5 billion subscriptions worldwide), ideas are multiplying rapidly about uses of mobile phones to address issues of health, literacy, banking, and economic development in low-income countries. Ideas about "mdevelopment" are multiplying much faster than the good ideas. Can design thinking—human-centered design—help to separate the wheat from the chaff, the merely cool from the genuinely effective uses of mobile technology to improve human well-being?
This event is free and open to the public, however registration is required. Please register here.

This year, my family will be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with other walkers nationwide.
My husband was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D), when he was 13 years old. Today, he wears an insulin pump that delivers insulin to his body 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unfortunately, the insulin pump is not a cure, it is only a Band-Aid. Randy still has episodes when his sugar gets too high or too low. Fortunately, I have learned to look for the subtle clues in his behavior and appearance to identify when he is having an episode when he has not realized it yet.
Randy's goal is to be complication-free every day. To not let the daily burden of T1D overcome him. There are no breaks from T1D. Financially, personally, emotionally, and, of course, physically.
Until there is a cure.
JDRF is our best hope for finding a cure. It funds more type 1 diabetes research than any other charity worldwide and it's making progress along many promising paths toward better treatments and a cure. My two children are participants in a research study funded by JDRF called TrialNet. We are truly grateful that your donations will help fund this research study that may prevent my children from developing type 1 diabetes.
Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality!

UI takes a second to react when you hold notes in the piano roll
Just realized this, but the piano roll does show you what notes are being played on the sideways keyboard to the left, it just only does it if you take the mouse and hold a MIDI note (in the sequence) for about a second. I don't know if this is a Windows only thing. Why doesn't it simply reflect MIDI in real time? What's the purpose of adding a delay, much less requiring each note be held down with the mouse to see which note on the scale it is?

Questions & Answers
Bob Allen Company was started in a parachute shop on the tiny Pacific atoll of Tinian towards the end of World War II. Bob Allen was a young, nationally known clay target shooter before the war, who later parlayed his aerial gunner instructor duties into a combat assignment in the South Pacific. Bob's first product design was a long billed cap that helped keep the sun out of bomber crews' eyes on their long flights to mainland Japan. Trading a ration of wartime Scotch to the riggers in the parachute shop for each of prized hats, the Bob Allen Company was born. After the war, the hats found favor with shooters and soon Bob was selling hats, shooting vests, pouches and bags from the trunk of his car as he traveled the shooting circuit.
Bob Allen is part of the Boyt Harness Family of outdoor products, which includes Boyt gun cases, hunting accessories and apparel, Secure Vault handgun and personal security products and ADG hard-sided gun cases. Corporate headquarters are located in Osceola, Iowa.

Providing community officials and allied agencies with the organizational and technical ability to effectively manage the trees along streets, within parks, and on public grounds.

Division of Forestry 2045 Morse Rd. Building H1. Columbus, OH 43229
1971 Comments: The trees are uniform in height and spread and formal in character. The deep setback of most of the homes might have permitted the planting of trees on the homeowners' lawns and away from the power lines. There are low utility lines overhead, but it does not appear that these trees will interfere with them in the foreseeable future. The trees are planted closer to the sidewalk than the street and have been limbed up to prevent interference with pedestrian traffic. However, changes in elevation in the area could have resulted in an unsatisfactory aesthetic appearance for the overall planting.
1997 Comments: A number of these plants are under power lines and have not required pruning. The habitat change in this plant from juvenile to maturity is quite dramatic. It is a narrow upright oval as a young plant, but then becomes quite irregular.

Virtualizing OSX Server?
I read that Apple was going to allow OSX Server to be virtualized (only when running on top of another Mac, of course). So I'm close to pulling the trigger and buying it, so I can do some experimenting without risking my "main" OSX installation (not server).
The question is this: When I buy OSX Server in the App Store, how exactly does it download? Will it come down as a DMG file or something similar? Since Lion and Mountain Lion download to the Recovery partition and don't stick around after install/upgrade, I wanted to ask first. I don't have a particularly fast network connection at home, so I only wanna download this thing once. Thanks! Rob

It's an app that you "install" into your current ML install. "Converts" it to a "Server".

Well since it's an app, hopefully you can go into it (since it's technically a folder) and find a DMG or something in there to use. I guess I'll have to Google some more.

There is no DMG inside. It does not go away when you run it (like an OS X install) and you can copy it as-is to other systems at any time.

And Parallels can read from the recovery partition that is created to use that as a base for installing OS X Server in a VM. Not sure if VMWare Fusion can do the same, but I know it supports installing OS X Server now, so presumably it has similar functionality.

News Corp. ready to unload MySpace
News Corp. is weighing the sale of MySpace as one of a few remaining options to deal with the once popular but now languishing social network.
News Corp. CEO Chase Carey said yesterday in an earnings conference call that the time is right to consider either restructuring its relationship with MySpace or just selling it outright.
"We recognize that the plan to allow MySpace to reach its full potential may be best developed under a new ownership structure and we're evaluating those strategic alternatives," Carey said, according to the AFP news service.

This is a great property in a fantastic setting, with absolutely world-class service. The facilities and the location are amazing, but I have to say that the staff really set the tone for this place. Everyone from the valets to reception to waitstaff to housekeeping are incredibly pleasant and helpful. The little things are clearly made a priority and it all adds up to a great experience. The staff have found a great balance between casual, friendly engagement and attentive service.
My only complaint is quite small in the grander scheme, but was a daily annoyance. I may have just been unaware, but it seemed that there wasn't any reasonably priced drinking water available throughout the hotel. At the pool, lounge, and other areas, the only drinking water available is high-priced Balinese or imported spring water (~USD8.5 for a 750ml after tax and service charge). Given the heat, it seems only reasonable to offer a standard bottle of purified water at a reasonable price for those that don't wish to spend more on the 'luxury water' option.
That aside, I can't say enough positive things about this place. The food is excellent, the pool is amazing, the rooms are beautiful, and the staff really do make it something special. I hope the GM appreciates what great people s/he has.
I've stayed in SPG properties through North America and Asia, and this one is among the very best bar-none.

We came across the W Hotel on a web based booking site and felt that from the description it met our overall guidelines of what we are looking for when going on Holidays. I can confirm that both my Wife and I where very happy with our selection as the W ticked all the boxes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Maria50 This hotel is Fabulous!
The hotel is beautiful, very fresh, cool and trendy. The rooms are great also, spacious and confortables. The staff was AMAZING! They were all EXTREMELY attentive, always on hand, super polite and had always a smile on their faces. They made me feel like royalty. Every single detail was taken care off. The only 2 negatives things were that one, the beach was not for swimming or relaxing in a chair beacuse the sea was very violent, had rough currents and the sand was dark and very dirty. So, if you are looking forward to enyoing the beach, this is not an hotel for you. The second negative aspect were the elevators beacuase even though they are beautiful and always smelled deliciously, they don't have AC so, it always felt very hot and claustrophbic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by H7S8 Makes you wanna come back again.
Everything about the hotel was amazing. I stayed for 4 nights at Marvelous 1 bedroom villa.
-Entrance. That decent distance from the roadside to the lobby has a long stretched of natural green canopy that make you feel that your hotel is well situated & reserved.
-Security is well maintained right from the very entrance. Every vehicle checked strictly but greeted with a very warm welcome.
-Lobby has very beautiful design features. (even the high ceilings have hand painted designs!) You will be impressed!
-Theres a buggy that can send you anywhere within the hotel premises. Free!
-Housekeeping is really good. i had my room clean twice thru my stay & they were consistent. Even the outdoor deck was mopped dry because it was raining the night before on both occasion .
-Food. I had Breakfast buffet every morning at Starfish Bloo. & they had a great spread of western & asian varieties. But personally felt that asian food could have tasted better. Didn't tried the other restaurants in the hotel cause wanted to try 'roadside' food.
-Smile. Thats 1 thing that will certainly make your day everyday. Because every staff you see will greet you with a smile & will ask hows your day today. From waitresses to reception, concierge to housekeeping attendants. Impressive.
Highly recommended. Well Done W Retreat Bali!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ConditionOne Best W property there is!
This resort gets it. I'm not a resort person, but I was blown away from the second I stepped foot on the property. You can tell that this property pays attention to every detail. From food presentation (my cup of tea came with mini-muffins), to the service. Everybody always is smiling and helpful, with many of the staff remembering my name.
I booked a garden view room on points, and upgraded via cash to a one bedroom villa. The villa doesn't disappoint. It's spacious and private. A negative is that people can pipe music outdoors. So you can easily have neighbors who are playing loud music during the day or night. Also, for some reason, it takes several minutes to get hot water in the shower (there's a little tag on it that says that it can take up to 2 minutes). There was one period of time during the afternoon where I couldn't get hot water at all.
The hotel offers an airport transfer service for $23 each way. When I was picked up, I was told that my car was "upgraded" to a BMW X5 as a Platinum member. The villas have their own private reception area. Platinums are forced to choose between 500 points or full breakfast as their amenity. If you choose breakfast, you can go to either Starfish Bloo or Fire. I ate at Starfish, and it was an excellent buffet with a variety of selections including sushi, as well as an a la carte menu. Food is different each day, which is really nice. Service is fantastic – the staff remembered my name each morning. And at one point, even brought some chocolates to my table for being a Platinum member!
While checking in, a manager introduced himself to me, along with an assistant. The resort was larger than I expected, and the assistant offered to give me a tour of the property. It was really helpful and insightful. For instance, I wouldn't have known that the "Ice" section of the hotel is more relaxed and chill, compared to the "Fire" section which is more of a party scene. I also would have missed the W lounge (open to all; not an executive lounge).
The assistant also stressed that their focus is on SPG Golds and Platinums. He mentioned that they can get up to 15 Suite Night Award requests a day, so juggling everything can get a bit dicey. But they will do their best to at least upgrade their elites to the top floor (with the sun roof) facing the ocean.
The food at the hotel is excellent, but prices are on par with that in the US. The spa offers 90 minute massages for about $85. The gym is a bit small, and is open 24/7.
Taxis into town are IDR 30K minimum, and if you would like to book a private car via the hotel for a day trip, it's $15/hour. The concierge was really helpful in suggesting a day trip itinerary.
There's not much to do in the surrounding area. There are some restaurants within walking distance, and there's an ATM by the entrance of the hotel. After one day, I was impressed enough that I've already made another booking here!

Rated 5 out of 5 by lucyang00 Absolutely exceeded my expectations
Everything was wonderful at the hotel, from the moment check in started the staff were delightful, friendly and more than happy to help with any specialised requirements during our stay. The only downside to it was the car forgot to pick us up from the airport - that was a bad way to start the holiday but the hotel more than made up for this mistake in other ways and so we have put that incident behind us. Highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by deweesev Would not stay anywhere else
My girlfriend and I just got back from a two-week stay at the W Retreat and Spa Bali. We had a great holiday in Bali and for a large part because of the W. Even before arriving at the Retreat, we had a very pleasant experience with the staff. E.g. after completing my reservation, I was contacted by one of the reservation agents to offer VIP immigration service and an airport pick-up (both I would highly recommend).
After a short drive from the airport we entered the Retreat's half a mile long driveway that I would call epic to say the least (if you want to exit the Retreat by foot to explore Seminyak, make sure to grab a buggy from the lobby to the main gate). SPG recognition is good at this property, as we were automatically upgraded upon check-in.
During the first part of our holiday we stayed in a Spectacular Ocean Glimpse room. Everyone should know that all rooms (excluding the marvelous and wow suites) within the retreat are the same, however, they differ in view. As you enter the room, the first thing you notice is the bathroom that is to die for. Make sure you request a room on a floor that has the skylights in the shower. The room was very spacious and beautifully decorated and really felt like a home away from home. The only drawback on the Ocean Glimpse rooms is the construction that is going on. You can see and hear the waves from your balcony, however, your eye will also catch the attention of the construction. So if it is ocean views you appreciate, make sure to get an ocean facing room.
Breakfast at Fire is simply put the best buffet breakfast that we ever had experienced. Not just the food is delicious, the staff is very attentive as well. The breakfast host remembered our names and room number. Also, the waiters remembered what our favorite food was and asked if we wanted to order the same thing again.
The pool area at WET is a good place to bask in the sun, with plenty of sunbeds available and attentive staff to order drinks or lunch. The sea in Seminyak can get quit rough so it isn't allowed to swim in it, however we very much enjoyed watching the waves roll in. One of the Retreat's dining venues, Starfish Bloo, overlooks the beach and pool area and is a great place to eat if you're in to seafood. Gym facilities are great as well, so is the spa. One thing I love about W hotels is the cozy chill out spots that you can find throughout the entire hotel, and this property is no different. The WooBar is an architectural masterpiece and a good place to have cocktails and enjoy warm Balinese evenings. For our tours trough Bali, we both used taxi's and hotel cars. For the longer trips I would advise using a hotel car, for a quick stop around the block grab a cab, as they cost next to nothing.
We upgraded to a Villa for the last couple of days during our stay. The Villa's are breathtaking and ideal if you value privacy and tranquility. The only drawback was that we found the water pressure to be very low. I've read a lot about the paths surrounding the villa's to be uncomfortable to walk on, which is true, that's way there is 24 hour valet service. Just dial whatever/whenever and there will be a buggy ready to pick you up within 10 minutes.
Overall, it has been a very pleasant experience to stay at the W Bali. Had a chance to speak to the GM just before we were about to leave and seemed like a nice person. We noticed that the GM was walking around the property almost 24/7 making sure everything was perfect and setting the right example for the staff.
As I struggled for a long time to decide which room to book, I would advise the following. If you value ocean view, go for the ocean facing rooms and not the ocean glimpse rooms. If it privacy you value, go for the Villa, as they are about the same price.
We would like to thank the whole staff for making our stay so pleasant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MarkTexNYC An ethereal property. WOW.
We went literally to the other side of the globe, and while we were incredibly underwhelmed by Bali itself, the trip was saved by The W. And for us, W really is for "WOW."
At first, we were saddened by the fact that there really isn't a beach. It doesn't matter. The pool is so incredible that you don't want/need a beach.
The rooms are gorgeous, pristine and well-designed. The Bose system is an impressive touch (and the rooms are truly soundproof). THe balconies are amazing and have a surprisingly high level of privacy. Many had hammocks -- ours did not.
The bathrooms are heavenly. You will find yourself spending an absurd amount of time in the bathroom. They are generous with their Bliss products (by providing full-size).
The restaurants are all amazing. The breakfast/brunch buffet is like nothing you've ever seen. Really expensive, so opt to use Starpoints (a really good deal with points).
Be sure to visit the library. Service is excellent.
You'll never want to leave.

T-Mobile backs Samsung in Apple case
T-Mobile USA filed a brief today opposing Apple's efforts to ban several Samsung Electronics products from the U.S., the second carrier to make such a move in the past week.
"While T-Mobile respects intellectual property rights and believes that owners of intellectual property deserve the right to present their arguments and evidence of infringement in court, a preliminary injunction is a drastic and extraordinary measure, and the courts should pay particular attention to its public consequences," T-Mobile said in a statement.

Asustek Retracts, Puts Qualcomm Android Eee PC on Ice
June 1 Qualcomm presented its new superflat Eee PC with Snapdragon chipset and Xandros or Android to the public. But the enthusiasm waned shortly thereafter.
The Eee PC wasn't yet market ready, said Jonathan Tsang, vice chairman of Asutek, at the sidelines of a press conference at Computex Teipei, according to an ComputerWorld. Tsang added, "For the time being this project is not a priority because our engineering resources are limited."
This might be believable under circumstances, but it gets better: Asustek chairman Jonney Shih himself apologized at the press conference that the Android notebook was even displayed at Qualcomm's booth, as Gizmodo reports. "I think this is a company decision so far [that] we would not like to show this device."
It begs the question, to whom is he apologizing? Perhaps to the vice president of their OEM Microsoft, Steven Guggenheim, who stood with him onstage, or to Intel's vice president Sean Maloney? Both were there to strengthen further collaboration with Asustek. But, at least for Microsoft, a Linux netbook in the works has not been high on its list.
As presented, the Qualcomm Eee PC not only looks fantastic, but would come at a markedly better price than the Intel model from Windows, the Eee PC chip is fanless and it plays back 720p videos flawlessly. Microsoft naturally wouldn't want a competitor to ruin its Christmas season and most likely pulled the emergency brake. Acer Inc. should be happy with that, according to Reuters: the world's number three PC brand has already announced an Android netbook for the third quarter of 2009.

Latvian defenceman to miss clash vs. Norway
STOCKHOLM The Disciplinary Panel has assessed a one-game suspension against Latvian defenceman Oskars Bartulis, while no further disciplinary actions were imposed in another case against his teammate Oskars Cibulskis.The case involving Latvian defenceman Oskars Bartulis involved two incidents in the game on 10th May against the Czech Republic.The first incident happened with 3:02 left in the first period. Czech player Tomas Mojzis was attempting to play the puck along the boards when he received a two-handed cross-check from behind by Bartulis, causing Mojzis to be thrown violently into the boards.The Disciplinary Panel is of the opinion that the application of rule 523 (checking from behind) and 525 (cross-checking) were applicable. Although there was no penalty assessed, the panel believes the appropriate call warranted a major penalty plus a game misconduct.The second incident occurred with 25 seconds left in the first period. Bartulis cross-checked Czech forward Milan Michalek from the side to the back area while Michalek was in a vulnerable position, causing him to be thrown dangerously head-first into the boards. A two-minute penalty for cross-checking was called. The panel came to the conclusion that the application of rule 525 (cross-checking) was correct.Even though there was no injury incurred in either incident, Bartulis actions are deemed to be of a very dangerous and serious nature. In violation of the abovementioned rules he shall be suspended for the next game of the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship.This means that the player cannot play in game number 38, Norway vs. Latvia, on Saturday 12th May.No further action against Oskars CibulskisThe other infraction involving another Latvian player, Oskars Cibulskis, occurred with 3:41 left in the game. After Cibulskis had been body-checked by Czech defenceman Tomas Mojzis, he swung his stick, turning his blade over and striking his opponent in the upper inside leg area. He received a two-minute penalty for slashing. The Disciplinary Panel came to the unanimous decision that no further disciplinary action will be required.The two-man Disciplinary Panel at the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship consists of Jeff Sauer (based in Helsinki) and Dan Marouelli (Stockholm).

Farmhouse Breakfast and Come and Try event at West Wight Sports Centre. Front left Tom Rice 11, Kieran Toms nine and Lily Obbard ten with Rosie the Belgium De Grubbes chicken.
HUNDREDS of youngsters and adults across the Isle of Wight have been tucking into Island produce as part of Farmhouse Breakfast Week.
The national event encourages people to try out tasty local foods, while promoting healthy eating and an active, healthy lifestyle.
On Friday, children at Brighstone Primary School enjoyed a tasty breakfast of bacon and sausage baps produced by Isle of Wight farmers.
And on Saturday, an estimated 250 people went to the West Wight Sports Centre to try out Island produce and take part in a range of sporting events.
The display at the sports centre was attended by the Lord Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight, Major General Martin White and Caroline Knox, chairman of the National Farmers Union (NFU) Isle of Wight.

hmm...without an abattoir on the Island, those sausages and bacon have travelled across the solent and back, thus driving up the cost

Spiced Creme Anglaise
Combine the cream, the zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and frothy, about 2 minutes. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of the hot cream, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to warm milk and stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until thick, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm. (Or, to serve chilled, place in an ice bath to cool, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.)
Yield: 2 cups
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar

Uncle Lee's Tea - Green Tea Organic - 100 Tea Bags (5.64 oz / 160 g)
Uncle Lee's Tea Organic Green Tea is an ancient tradition for today's health. When it comes to green teas no one knows better than Uncle Lee's. They've been creating fine teas for over 50 years, combining traditional methods from ancient China with the western technology of today.
Organically grown tea enhances the beneficial health properties of green tea. In addition to the benefits of antioxidants present, Uncle Lee's organically grown green tea has the added advantage of being one of the purest teas available. It is grown without chemicals, with natural fertilizers and with careful attention to the preservation of the ecosystem. This green tea has been certified organic and cultivated according to biodynamic farming principles and comes from a region known for some of the finest teas in the world. Uncle Lee's tea is not only good for you, but is also good for the earth.
About Uncle Lee's TeaBegan as a U.S. factory headquartered in Southern California, they were established to support distribution centers and retail tea shops in both the United States and Canada. After being in business for a short time since, they then became a full scale independently labeled tea manufacturer and have now focused completely on domestic and international businesses. Their North American headquarter has been in operation since 1988. Currently, their tea products can be found on the shelves of many national retailers as well as direct tea distributors in both the United States and Canada.
Uncle Lee's Tea SpecialtyGreen Teas, both traditional and flavored, has been their number one selling product for many years. They are the first tea manufacturer to introduce green tea into the North American market and has since then been playing an important role in the manufacturing of quality Green Tea. They are also known for their delicious Herbal Teas, both hot and iced, fruity fragrance flavored black tea blends and a complete line of popular dieter tea called Body Slim Dieter Teas. Their various dieter teas are both effective and tasty, which has been very popular since introduction. For people who are in need of very specialized functions, they have their line of Medicinal Teas. These teas, with names like Energy Booster, Digestion Soother, Tox Guard and System Builder, have the natural anti-oxidant properties of its green tea base as well as the skillful addition of herbs for specific functions and flavorings that provide a memorable and healthy cup of tea.
Pursuing the excellence of tea manufacturing and responding to market demand, they began their own line of Chai Teas which comes in four unique flavors as well as 100% organic ingredients. The popularity of their Chai teas has proven that they have successfully introduced another great line of tea product to their family of teas. Their newest addition to their family of tea products includes the line of Legends of China Green Tea series that comes in four different flavors - original, lemon, Jasmine, and rose. They are proud to introduce their newest flavoring of tea - rose - for an exotic new taste to tea drinking. Most of their tea products are in the form of tea bags which can be easily prepared. They also carry a line of bulk tea (loose leaves) products for the serious drinker with the proper tea equipment.
Quality ControlWhen it comes to tea manufacturing, the word "quality" is Uncle's Lee number one priority. To set themselves apart from their competitors, they continue to carry on the tradition of Ten Ren's quality tea without sacrificing packaging of tea bags. Their conservative view of tea manufacturing has been constantly reminding us to only bring the best to the consumers. Don't take their words for it, their products are 100% Star-K "Kosher" certified for quality and freshness.
Their manufacturing is based one simple principal -- quality. They incorporate industry's highest technology and standards when it comes to preparing their tea into tea bags. In logistics, they always utilize the best method of transportation to move their tea from the plants in China to ensure 100% freshness when they arrive.
For Hot Tea: Just before water comes to a full boil, pour water over the tea bag and brew for 3 to 5 minutes, or to desired strength. Add sweetener to desired taste.
For Iced Tea: Follow directions above, then slowly pour into a tall, ice-filled glass. Add a slice of orange or lemon.

I don't think it is so simple as decoupling will work versus decoupling won't work.
The equity market in China is in the middle of a decline of some magnitude. The decline plays no role in the crane count in China. The building and infrastructure modernization will continue if we do in fact have a bear market. I don't know if this continued spending will help stocks or not but the underlying fundamentals could stay very healthy.
As we look at different countries they each have their thing (or things) that make them tick. During a US event some of these places will hold up just fine. The story in Vietnam seems like a candidate for ongoing health, a type of place I have previously described at being in its own world.
During the big bear market at the start of this decade Australia was able to pull away and recover much faster than most other markets. That is the thing to this entire issue. There will be some markets that weather a US downturn better than others. While this is obvious it is also true.
Which countries will be the ones? I mentioned Australia worked on the last go around. Norway not so much last time but if oil stays high (above $80?) it might be a candidate. Norway obviously is a surplus country.
What about another fave of mine, Iceland, which is a deficit country? A reason to think not is the extent to which its banks participate in the global financial scene. Part of the bear case now is not being able to access capital. This threatens Iceland in the short term. A reason to think yes is the move afoot to bring energy intensive manufacturing and data storage to the country to take advantage of the very cheap geothermal energy. Weighing the two I'd say it might not work out for Iceland over the next 18 months. The next 60 months is a different story.
How many countries are you willing to size up and allocate to in order to try to offset a US bear market? Buying EFA wouldn't seem to cut it ( a point I make often).
This is a complex issue. I have exposure to many countries in client accounts, some of them will hold up better and some will not and I may not know ahead of time which will be which. Realizing ahead of time that I will get some wrong is, to me, all the more reason why I believe in using the inverse index funds to try to neutralize a big decline.
Guessing that Ghana will work, Belize won't so I should sell (these are just examples I have no idea how to access either one) seems like a much tougher game to play than just spreading across many countries you believe to be fundamentally sound. I think in that scenario you have a chance of owning a couple of the ones that will decouple.
And there will be some that do decouple even if I don't know which ones they will be.

I think there are two potential strategies in play, here. For existing positions, some type of hedge makes more sense than "bailing out" and changing the makeup of the entire portfolio. I like the double-shorts, like UVPIX, since I can hedge $2 with $1.
For new money, my strategy is to look for companies/sectors/countries that are already "decoupled" with the previous (heh) bull-run. This might be companies like BAM (own it), a Canadian asset management company, or AIB (don't own it), an Irish bank with exposure to eastern Europe.
It is impossible to know what will be insulated from a U.S. recession, but you can tilt the odds in your favor. - 9:54 AM
- RW said...
Forgive me Roger, I feel a rant coming on. ...@# can't stop it!
Any thesis that lacks a plausible connection to the real world, a testable cause and effect, can't even rise above the level of hypothesis much less qualify as a theory: To believe (and I use the word advisedly) that 'decoupling' is real requires, among other things, compelling evidence that emerging market intra-regional trade has become relatively stronger than, and to some degree independent of, the export economies they have built over the years;
It is to assume that the previous thesis of 'globablization' which included growing interconnection and correlation is now more myth than fact and that a recession in the USA which comprises approx 25% of the world's economic activity will have little impact on the emerging markets which in sum total, every bloody one of them combined, comprise approximately the same percentage of global GDP.
It is to assume the growth in emerging markets, China in particular, was not in large part due to easy access to cheap capital and that the sectors or asset classes such as energy and other commodities that have outperformed in recent years are not precisely those connected to capital intensive infrastructure development and that, a fortiori, increasing inability to access cheap capital will have no more effect on the emerging market economies than reduced import demand from the USA.
There's more but I'm getting a little short of breath.
Trend following is a workable technique until the larger-scale system changes. Whether proponents of decoupling are aware of the implications or not (and I would guess most are not) they are proposing a macro-economic change -- a rearrangement of relationships and the possibility of new structures forming with older structures being destroyed -- and that necessarily means: (a) current trends can no longer be relied upon and (b) assumptions about how the system will re-arrange itself are probably wrong.
OTOH if 'decoupling' is just typical sell-side bullsh*t it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong because that's not really the point of the exercise.
That aside, the low-vol rally today provided some excellent tactical shorting opportunities which I took advantage of but I'm not sticking my neck too far out either long or short in this environment, that's flat. - 10:49 AM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
Roy, agreed. this is what I am trying to convey. Additionally there will be stocks that drop a lot (or this has already happened) but have no fundamental connection or more correctly very little fundamental connection.
RW, say it loud, say it proud. - 10:53 AM
- Anonymous said...
The permabulls, as I hear them, keep their knuckles wrapped around the notion that the emerging mkts will continue to grow, and that not only is decoupling possible but that their growth will keep our commodities going higher. Global growth is different this time. But, like RW says, there is no empirical evidence for this.
- jag said...
I think it might already be too late to make sells in some of the worst affected countries. For instance, Japan may well hit a recession, but Japan's stock indices may already have priced in the worst of the downturn by sliding over 20%.
I'm going to be riding this out, because I believe that I am diversified (in terms of both countries and asset classes) and that, over my long-term investment horizon, the next year or two will be rocky but ultimately not that significant.
Of course, if I had specific needs for income or capital in the next 18 months, I'd probably take everything out and put it into TIPS. - 12:06 PM

I tend to care more about where they are going than where they have been. you might have different priority.
- T said...
Perhaps the answer lies in selecting individual stocks rather than funds.Or, cash equivalents in dollar and non-dollar instruments.
Indexing does little to mitigate failure in a true bear market, unless one uses the double shorts which come with their own unique risks. - 5:41 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
While i tend to agree with the idea of picking stocks i also think narrow based products can help in this regard too. - 5:47 PM
- jag said...
Might I suggest that almost no technique that is accessible to an ordinary investor will help to mitigate failure in a true bear market?
- Anonymous said...
As a previous poster mentioned above...if income/capital requirements are forseen in the coming 12/18 months....sell everything and put it in TIPS...one doesn't need a high-powered computer, a trading program and a CFA to make that happen. Up a couple/3 percent when the market is down 20% would DEFINITELY count as a "win", in my book.

- jag said...
Good point, but the question for anyone waiting out the bear market in cash or TIPS is... how do you time your re-entry if in the long run you are committed to achieving equity-like returns? What if the stock market has already priced in a recession, and we've seen the worst of the slide already?
For all I know, the Dow could be back at 14,000 within the next three months. That could be as likely as a decline to, say, 11,000. - 10:35 PM
- Banker said...
I am not a believer in the Decoupling theory. No matter what people say or think the U.S. is still the engine for the world. OK not what it once was .... but still a big, big influence. Look at Korea and see the edges starting to tear. They will start in that region and the rest will follow. Chile in South America (as Copper comes off) and Hungary in Eastern Euorpe.
- Leisa said...
The idea of decoupling seems to have become expressed more loudly as the pillars of this current bull run have been cracked. In fact, we all should have crawled in a hole with our gunpowder, whiskey and perhaps some SPAM when Richard Russell capitulated and became a bull.
Pillar 1: Liquidity. Oh my goodness, the money was pouring from everywhere. So much of the liquidity produced was based on derivative machinations ans structured finance (built on a sinkhole).
Pillar 2: The Fed: They really don't matter given the amount of liquidity in Pillar 1. The Fed is emasculated for the market produced so much more liquidity on its own that had very little to do with the Fed (though the Fed with it's low interest rates did spawn this bastard child of Greenspan's as folks became hungry for yield and thought Risk had headed to Disneyland. (We should know from the commercials that risk never sleeps).The collapse in the derivatives and structured finance is going to suck liquidity out of the economy--GDP will sport a giant hickey from remembrance of the "good time", but will likely have to wear a turtleneck.
Pillar 3: Global Economic Boom--Japan, Europe and the US have been slowing. Precious little air time has been given to these stories. BRIC countries still have small income per capita--and what are they doing? They're making stuff for the 1st tier nations who are slowing!
Pillar 4: The American consumer. As long as the knees don't buckle from debt, they'll buy. Knees are buckling. The Asian markets are tumbling because they know who their consumer is. They're scared. Why aren't we? - 6:06 AM

I believe that the premise of your statement was safety from "failure in a true bear market". Three months is a downturn in the market, not a true bear market.
I think that we were maybe talking about a bear market of a year or two like the last one as a possibility.
You are right about timing the market when we are not sure where the market is going though. But if we are in a true bear market everyone will know about it.

The argument about emerging markets is farce. They can, after a decade grow independent of US economy, but not now. US is still the global driver.
So best idea? Sell half and stay in cash. - 11:27 PM
