Parks, once viewed as a drain on a community's budgets, are now being explored by area leaders for their potential as multi-million dollar economic drivers through the lure of sporting events and other attractions that could bring thousands of visitors to the Butler/Warren area.
"We're transitioning our philosophy when it comes to parks," said Mason city manager Eric Hansen. "The city is needing our parks to be financially viable. That doesn't mean that they become profit centers, but how we think about them has to rely on us being able to afford to maintain them. We need to develop amenities that can drive economic revenue in the area."
Mason is not alone in this evolving view of a park's usefulness. While no one will dispute that maintaining parks are a quality of life issue for residents, leaders in cities like Mason, Hamilton and Butler County are looking at parks as potential economic drivers to bring in revenue, even if they are not charging a direct admission fee.
The city of Hamilton is working with the Butler County Convention and Visitor's Bureau to explore the possibility of improving and expanding Joyce Park to turn it into a potential destination site for major sports tournaments that could bring in millions of dollars to the community, said Public Works Administrator Rich Engle.
"It's still very much in the preliminary stages, but it's something we think has potential," Engle said.
The city of Hamilton has commissioned a plan to determine where Joyce Park could be headed.
Last year, the Butler County Convention and Visitor's Bureau and Hamilton brought the U.S. Archery Adult and Junior National Championships to Joyce Park, a weekend event that had a multi-million dollar impact on the community, according to BCCVB executive director Mark Hecquet.
Hecquet said sporting events are viewed as "recession proof" in many instances because parents want to give their children a chance to compete in a high-level sporting event, particularly a championship of some kind. So while other items may fall off a family budget — including the traditional family vacation — a trip to a major tournament is more likely to endure.
"All over the country, sporting events, especially for young people, are huge," Hecquet said. "They bring families with high spending power and the events are very lucrative to communities."
Communities benefit financially from the parks being used in a number of ways.
"We receive revenues because the groups using them pay us for use of the facilities, but they also help our economic base because those groups are coming in and spending money, be it at restaurants, hotels, or other facilities," Hansen said. "The employees at those businesses are paying earnings tax. Parks can be used to help in a couple of different pieces of revenue."
"In a lot of location's cuts you'll find governments have to make choices among services and often times parks and funding for parks gets eliminated," said Kelly Barkley, Community Relations Coordinator for MetroParks of Butler County. "In order for us to provide what our park customers are looking for we need to be relevant. Those things are generally revenue driven types of activities. Events like the crazy cardboard regatta, pioneer days, races, summer camps – whatever our park customers are saying they want."
Metro Parks of Butler County, working with BCCVB is currently developing 22 athletic fields at Voice of America Park in West Chester Twp.
"Butler County might not need so many fields for a local tournament, but we can bring in larger regional tournaments to bring in revenues and fund education and conservations efforts across the county," Barkley said. "Programs like that bring relevancy and job opportunities to Butler County as a whole, and in that way, we see parks as revenue generators."
Hecquet said Joyce Park could become a potential economic driver for the city of Hamilton.
"With Joyce Park, we're looking at the potential to restore the park to turn it into a tournament quality type of field," Hecquet said. "We believe it has the ability to draw tournaments but it needs care and attention to bring out-of-town teams into the county and the city."
The Warrior Classic in Huber Heights, a prototypical example of these big tournaments with the juice to draw in out-of-towners, brings in an estimated 30,000 people to the Dayton suburb and has a $8 million economic impact on the Northern Dayton area over the course of Memorial Day Weekend each year, according to event organizers. Some area leaders hope to create their own sporting event that could potentially rival such a monster tournament.
Even though communities are eyeing sporting events as potential cash cows, few are injecting more money into parks in anticipation of these potentialities. A Journal News examination of local communities park spending found none that increased the budget substantially to parks in the past three years nor plan to next year.
Warren County Convention and Visitor's Bureau organized 63 sporting events — ranging from softball and soccer tournaments to the Australian Rules Football — in 2012, filling 60,000 hotel room nights and having an economic impact of $40 million on the area said WCCVB director Phil Smith. For the past couple of years, the WCCVB has been attempting to raise funds for a sporting complex it would use exclusively to market as a economic driver type park.
"In some ways, we're limited to what we can bring in by the availability of local parks," Smith said. "That's not a complaint. It's absolutely the way it should be. Parks are first and foremost for the local taxpayers who are paying for them. The whole reason we entered into a conversation about owning our own sports complex is that we borrow from communities when it's palatable for communities to let us use those facilities. The community leaders have to walk the line between having parks for citizens and for other people. There's so much out there in terms of tournaments that could come in, that we just need more than what is available on a part-time basis."
The WCCVB has been lobbying the state of Ohio to allow the county commissioners to raise lodging taxes by one percent in order to finance a potential sport complex. Davis said the WCCVB has scouted potential locations on Ohio 741 near Otterbein in Turtlecreek Twp. and the Warren County Fairgrounds, which will be losing its primary tenant, the Lebanon Raceway, after 2013.
"It's still a waiting game at this point," Smith said. "But it's something we're hopeful we can get off the ground."

Public liberal arts colleges seek to exploit niche in turbulent market
They occupy a tiny but significant niche in higher education: Public liberal arts colleges.
A Washington Post article on the scramble this fall at St. Mary's College of Maryland to raise its enrollment underscores the unusual market position of these schools. They aim to be selective and intimate, like private liberal arts colleges, but with enough public funding to make them more affordable. That's the theory.

A growing number of colleges nationwide are scrambling to fill classes, a trend analysts say is driven by a decline in the number of students graduating from high school and widespread concern among families about the price of higher education.

Nominee to lead D.C. education agency gets mixed reviews
Mayor Vincent C. Gray's nominee for state superintendent of education received both praise and pointed criticism at a confirmation hearing Friday before a D.C. Council committee.
Jesus Aguirre has served since October as the District's acting state superintendent of education, overseeing an agency that funnels millions of federal dollars to schools, runs buses for students with disabilities and crafts policies that affect both traditional public schools and public charter schools.

Strauss: International test scores: Getting the data straight
Here is a third post in a debate on The Answer Sheet about international test scores and whether they tell us anything important about the U.S. public education system.
The conversation began with a post I wrote last week titled "The fetishization of international test scores" which looked to the upcoming release of 2012 PISA test scores on Dec. 3 and said we place too much attention on these scores. A few days ago I published a dissent from Marc Tucker, resident of the non-profit National Center on Education and the Economy. Both pieces mentioned a report released early this year by Martin Carnoy, education professor at Stanford University's Graduate School of Education, Richard Rothstein, research associate at the Economic Policy Institute, which raised questions about whether the average scores in the 2009 PISA were reported lower than they should have been.

Texas photography
To some people, a photograph is no more than a moment in time that has been captured forever, through the wonders of science, to be preserved or cherished for a lifetime. To others, it is a method of communicating with others or, better yet, art. Wildlife and outdoors photography presents its own set of challenges, and Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine takes pride in exhibiting the work of some of the state's finest photographers each month.

We weren't out of the driveway before we were brainstorming about how to get back to Aunt Louisa's. Wonderful homey feeling and delicious creative food. Treetops room was great. Louise and Dale were gracious and entertaining hosts. I'm sure that the other two couples we shared breakfast with will surely agree. All were sad to end the stay even though they had full interesting days planned.

Our host and hostess are wonderful people. They share their home in every respect. The breakfast is an experience, including a juice quiz. We have a lot of great memories to share with friends.

This was our first stay at Aunt Louise's B &B, although we have known the innkeepers for many years. They take great pride in their home and make you feel very welcome and comfortable. The breakfasts were wonderful and we especially were delighted to learn about "coddled eggs.". Hope to visit there again and continue to enjoy the finger lakes area.

My daughters and I were traveling thru upstate New York and found this lovely B&B. When we arrived early evening, they helped us get reservations at a great Italian restaurant. Breakfast the next morning was wonderful. The room for the 3 of us was perfect. Highly recommend.

Louise and Dale are great inn keepers. Our stay was restful and relaxing Dale and Louise were very knowledgable with a wealth of information on the local attractions, eateries, and places to see locally. Waking each morning to a fantastic breakfast and relaxing in the yard after a day of site seeing made for a great stay!

Louise (who is truly an aunt) and her husband, Dale, are excellent hosts who make you feel instantly welcome. The main part of the house is charming and the gardens are extraordinary. Views of the lake from the property are wonderful. The room in which we stayed (Tree Top) met all of our needs. Breakfast was tasty and filling and the service was fantastic. My wife and I would certainly stay at Aunt Louise's B&B again.
4,4 en agosto 26, 2013
Stayed with my husband only one night unfortunately ... we would have loved to enjoy Louise and Dale's warm welcome, charming house and outstanding breakfast for a couple of days
5 en agosto 21, 2013
I stayed at Aunt Louise's Lake House in Skaneateles 8/16/13 - 8/18/13. My stay there was wonderful. Louise and Dale are wonderful inn-keepers: friendly, informative, and helpful. The common areas and my room were clean and comfortable. The inn was remarkably quiet despite the fact that it was full. Breakfast was delicious and quite filling. The inn is located about 4 miles south of Skaneateles, across the road from the lake. This means that it is in a quiet location with easy access to the attractions in town. I fully intend to stay here the next time I am in Skaneateles.
5 en agosto 21, 2013
My daughter and I came for one night and I wish so much it could have been longer! The house and grounds were charming and our hosts, Louise and Dale were more so! Breakfast was delicious! There was even complimentary cream sherry in the evening! I highly recommend this B&B

Aunt Louise's made my wife and I feel very comfortable. We had a beautiful room and enjoyed a very smooth cream sherry night cap. The breakfast was extraordinary. We had to leave early one morning and missed the breakfast. Fresh fruit and coffee cake along with coffee was waiting for us in the kitchen before we left. A very nice treat before we started on our journey.

Louise & Dale truly know how to make you feel at home.

Our 2nd visit to the finger lakes (Skaneatlas/Auburn area) was a lovely weekend in July of 2013. Louise and Dale were wonderful hosts, very personable. The house is lovely and quiet with a hill overlooking the lake. Breakfast was delicious each day. You could tell that our hosts took great pride in their facility and were interested in creating a memorable stay and dining experience.

Vern nice. Host and hostess made the stay enjoyable.

Dale and Louise were so kind. We made a spur of the moment decision to stay with them and they were so welcoming and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a nicer retreat!

Wonderful location, with a splendid view of the lake, surrounded by woods. Our hosts were warm and pleasant and made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Aunt Louise's in April 2013 and found it to be just perfect for us! The owners, Dale and Louise were most gracious and friendly. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine while overlooking the lake across the street, and drove into town for dinner, which was only about 5 minutes from the B&B. Our room was well appointed and cozy, the bed was sooooo comfy, and we had a private bathroom. Louise and Dale served up a wonderful breakfast consisting of waffles, homemade breads, bacon, fruit, yogurt, granola-the works! We drove off well-rested, and well-fed! :-) We would definitely stay here again! Jeanine and Doug

We stay here yearly on our way to New England and always enjoy the quiet and comfortable room. The breakfasts are outstanding and the innkeepers friendly and helpful.

This B&B is in a great old house, beautifully restored and very comfortable. Louise and Dale made me feel at home and provided a delicious breakfast. I was the only guest one day and I left like a princess!

We were so pleased that we stayed at Aunt Louise's. They accommodated our schedule and made us feel like v.i.p.s. The atmosphere is absolutely charming and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our only complaint is that we wanted to stay longer!

If your looking for a quiet getaway in a great atmosphere, this is the spot. We visited for a V-day getaway with another couple and couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. Aunt Louise and Dale tended to everything to keep us comfortable and are fantastic chef's. The meals were perfect and a great way to begin each day. Looking forward to doing it again soon.

Enjoyed very much. Right in the Finger Lakes area. Great shops and restaurants.

This was our first stay at Aunt Louise's and our second overnighter in Skaneatelas. We have visted on previous occasions and are familiar with the area. Aunt Louise's is a very quaint and charming Inn and although our stay was short, Louise and Dale were very friendly and made us feel at home. We arrived Friday evening and due to family committments had to leave well before breakfast on Sunday (Dale made sure that the coffee was ready for us). Our breakfast with the other guests on Saturday was enjoyable. The Inn is a few miles outside of town and the grounds are lovely. There was a great view of the lake from our room ("Treetops") across the road. The bathroom was large, but as with most B&B's we've stayed at could use some additional counterspace for toiletries. Would like to stay here in the warmer months in order to enjoy all it has to offer.

Louise and Dale were excellent hosts. They made us feel right at home and were very accommodating. Liked all the holiday decorations. Breakfast-Loved the coddled eggs! Everything was clean and comfortable.

My wife and I spent two days at Aunt Louise's and had a really great time. Our hosts were exremely gracious and accomodating. Breakfast was superb and the coffee, oh the coffee! The next time we plan to stay in Skaneateles we will definitely be giving Aunt Louise a call. Dave & Karen Costello

We so enjoyed the great hospitality also assistance they gave us with all our luggage, etc.

Louise and Dale are absolutely wonderful hosts and treated both my wife and I as honored house guests. Their home is very comfortable and the accommodations the same. Breakfast was delightful...Louise takes great pride in her cuisine and quite frankly, we enjoyed our single night stay immensely. Would highly recommend.
3,8 en septiembre 17, 2012
As the title say this is just what my girlfriend and I wanted. A small quaint B&B with wonderful hosts. Louise and Dale were extremely friendly and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Chatting with the other guests on the back patio was a great treat as well as sitting on the front porch rocking chairs looking at Skaneateles Lake right across the street,
3,8 en septiembre 10, 2012
Aunt Louise's was very enjoyable for us. The room was very accomodating and clean. We also had a private bathroom with both a shower and bathtub. The view was great overlooking Skaneateles Lake! The hosts were pleasantly gracious and service met our needs. They even explained the history of the house.
5 en septiembre 06, 2012
the stay was wonderful and warm. They had great amenities not found in the finest hotel. They had great rooms and the decor was wonderful. A plus stay, the owners get a 5 star rating.
4,4 en agosto 26, 2012
We were warmly greeted by Louise and Dave in their home overlooking the lake. Skaneateles is a nice little town with many neat and unique shops. The B&B is a short drive down the east side of the lake, so it is convenient. Breakfast was delicious, and special dietary needs were considered. Great folks, good value.
4,8 en agosto 19, 2012
Louise & Dale made us very comfortable in the Sunrise Room. We stayed two nights and had a great time checking out the local area. Louise & Dale had a superb knowledge of the town and what it had to offer; including directing us to sumptuous meals at Rosalie's Cuicina & The Sherwood Inn, a sight seeing cruise on the lake and the local winery. Breakfast was served with fineze in old English style, beautifully laid table with the finest of crockery & cutlery. Thank you for a great stay Louise & Dale. Lyn & Bryan, Melbourne, Australia
5 en agosto 06, 2012
When we arrived we were greeted at the door and provided with all the information about the town we needed. The room (tree tops) was fantastic. Good WiFi also. The breakfast was perfect. Great Stay!

This was our first visit to a B&B. We loved it. The owners are friendly, helpful and professional. Breakfast was unique and very good. We enjoyed breadfast conversation with interesting people. We would have never encountered such interesting people if we stayed at a hotel. Thank You, Aunt Louise!!!
5 en junio 23, 2012
What a delightful way to have a get away. We had a wonderful time scouting out the village. Took a 50 min boat tour around the lake which was also very enjoyable. The highlight would have to be the special attention Louise, Dale(and Allie) showed us. Breakfast both mornings was outstanding...and we especially enjoyed the special "mamosa" toast Louise and Dale made to acknowledge our 30th anniversary....we came away with the feeling that we had made new friends, with the hopes that our paths will cross again in the fall...Thanks again Louise and Dale
3,8 en junio 20, 2012
Aunt Louise's was very charming. Louise couldn't do enough for you and was very attentive especially when it came to meal restrictions. We stayed in the larger room with it's own bath (Lake View). However, the view was across the street and minimal. The room was very comfortable but didn't have enough places for you to put your own things. I would have liked to see a shelf or table in the bathroom for our cosmetics instead of the small chair in the corner. The grounds were beautiful with lots of cozy places to sit and look at the lake across the street. It was about a 10 minute ride into the town.
4,6 en junio 12, 2012
Aunt Louise's Lake House B&B is in a perfect location with a beautiful view of the Skaneateles River. The yard is gorgeous with blooming flowers and the home warm and inviting. Dale and Louise are wonderful hosts and made us feel right at home. We very much enjoyed our conversations with them. The breakfast was terrific. The broiled grapefruit was "to die for", plus delicious waffles and yummy cranberry bread.

We recently stayed at Aunt Louise's bed and breakfast in Skaneateles. The property is very quaint and charming, the hosts Louise and Dale are wonderful people and the area is extremely picturesque. They not only made us feel welcome, but did everything possible to make the trip an extremely enjoyable experience. We had 3 young kids in the group, and not once did we feel that they were not welcome. Each morning Louise, Dale and Ally took a lot of trouble to cater to all our individual needs and put out a new treat for the kids. Thank you for taking such good care of us, we would highly recommend this property, for people with or without kids in the group. We shall definitely be back soon.
5 en mayo 13, 2012
We stayed here the first time because we were in the area. Ever since, we purposely drive the 6 hours just to stay here! The personal and professional caliber of our innkeepers is consistently excellent. "Aunt" Louise and dale will be seeing more of the Clearys.

Found this place to be a wonderful get away. We had a terrific time. Dale and Louise were the perfect hosts. Gave good advice on where to eat and what to do. The house is charming and beautiful. The breakfasts were delicious and more than we expected. We plan on staying again in the future.

Lakefront views and style without lakefront prices! Very good value for the money and we'll certainly visit again. Dale and Louise were fabulous hosts and have a lovely, charming home that was warm and inviting.

Dale and Louise were perfect hosts, made us feel most comfortable, and served the most wonderful breakfasts we've ever had. Particularly loved the baked pears drizzled in raspberry sauce and the coddled eggs. They also lit a fire in the fireplace for us each day, which made it especiallyu cozy.

You definitely won't walk away hungry. The innkeepers served very generous portions, and quality of the breakfast was top-notch. They were very accommodating to special dietary needs. Although the rooms weren't particularly memorable, they were comfortable. Make sure to bring your own toiletries. Only soap was provided for guests. We liked the location. The views of the lake were magnificent, and the drive into town was scenic.

Our stay at Aunt Louise's was wonderful. Delightful accommodations, superlative hosts, delicious gourmet breakfasts in the gorgeous surroundings of Skaneateles Lake. Our hosts out did themselves when following a storm that knocked out the power in the surrounding area they proceeded to cook our breakfast on their BBQ. It was a wonderful breakfast non-the-less coddled eggs and all. We plan to return and highly recommend this little B.B gem. Adrian & Vivian Kyte Burlington, Ontario.

The innkeepers were very, very nice and accommodating. Lake View room was large, but the bathroom was very small. Tiny TV, noisy air conditioner, no amenities to speak of. Pictures on the web are a little deceiving. Grounds are lovely, but nowhere to go without a car.

Recently stayed at Aunt Louise's Bed & Breakfast in Skaneateles, NY. It is 4 miles out of town and sits directly on a very heavy, high traffic road. 3 rooms in the Inn, only one is rentable. Our room was small, dormer ceilings, small, inadequate bathroom. Breakfast was ok, but heavy on sugar and calories. People nice however don't seem to be experienced B&B owners. On a scale of 1 to 5 I would give this a 2.....very pricey. You can see the lake from front of house however it is across the highway...this is not a lake front property, picture is very deceiving.
5 en junio 09, 2011
We had a great time and plan on making Aunt Louise's Lake House a place that we visit on a frequent basis...the rooms, the breakfast, the innkeepers were just amazing...we can't say enough good things about this B&B

Our first visit to Aunt Louise's Lake House B&B was a great experience on a warm September weekend in 2009, that we decided to visit again in March,2011. We stayed at the B&B with another couple and found the hospitality, comfort and charm just wonderful. The house offers a choice of spending time together with others by the fire or enjoying some R&R comfortably in the rooms. Great suggestions for places to visit and restaurants to eat at, were given the first time, that we booked some of them again on the next visit. Delicious breakfasts with other guests were so much fun, especially with the great service and sense of humor from our hosts Louise and Dale. See you again, soon !
3,8 en octubre 09, 2010
The house is beautiful and the breakfast great. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. The cons: It is a little strange having the bathroom outside of the room (for the room we stayed in). Luckily we had no one else staying in the house but they wouldn't let us upgrade to a better room (with a bathroom) without paying the difference. I found that a bit annoying since no one else was there anyways.

We had a very pleasant stay for 2 nights and look forward to visiting there again.Louise and Dale are great innkeepers and I enjoyed our conversations

While on a whirl wind trip through the region, a friend recommended we stay at Aunt Louise's Lake House. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The house has a wonderful history overlooking one of the most beautiful lakes we've ever seen. The topper was their breakfast. It was outstanding! Not only a gourmet meal filled with unbelievable flavors and aromas, but the dining room setting was so very nice. We ate in a family setting with other guests and we all had a most pleasant experience. Like I said from the beginning, we wish we could have stayed longer!

"There is no place like home" however when you arrive you and are greeted by Dale and Louise, you are home. They are two wonderful people that are generous in their home. My wife and I spent 3 nights and enjoyed every moment. Breakfast was a first class treat. Every morning was a special time and very comfortable in the dining room. The location is a nice spot and the backyard is zen. We will return in the future.

This was my first B&B and I was treated with pure hospitality. There was always a roaring fire to sit in front of. An old time crawfoot bath tub awaited me at night. The breakfast was the most unique one I have ever had; from baked apples and grapefruit, to imported juices and coddled eggs. The views from the house were breathtaking.

Clean and pretty comfortable. Did not care for the sunrise room ... one small window, mostly filled up by a window air conditioner. I've stayed in a number of bed and breakfasts, and this one feels more like staying with relatives. Gardens are quite pretty ... the lake is viewed across the road and between the houses. The hosts are very nice and had great dining suggestions. Skaneateles is a pretty little town ... the downtown is not in walking distance of the B&B.
5 en diciembre 18, 2006
Welcoming innkeepers, immaculate guest room decor, ample common areas with room to relax. Lovely view down the sweeping lawns to the lake beyond.

The multiplier argument is founded on two key assumptions that turn out to be false. First is the notion that savings are not spent but rather are withdrawn from the expenditure stream. The multiplier's second incorrect premise is that government expenditures are "autonomous"; that is, government spending does not depend on current income.

Treasure Island (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&n Classics Trade Paper)by Robert Louis Stevenson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson, is part of the #LINK
The most popular pirate story ever written in English, featuring one of literatures most beloved bad guys," Treasure Island has been happily devoured by several generations of boys—and girls—and grownups. Its unforgettable characters include: young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn, buccaneers of varying shades of menace; and, of course, garrulous, affable, ambiguous Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook . . .and the next a dangerous pirate leader! The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boys growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor—and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.

Public Post Offices?
I wrote about this story twice for the Street.com earlier in the summer which you can read here and here, if you're interested.
Generically speaking there is a lot of room for gains in efficiency stemming from technological advancement and in the case of Royal Mail, getting the government to absorb the pension obligations.
Taking the Royal Mail public has been controversial for several reasons including concerns of the workers over their future. The deal has been structured to try to appease employees by giving all of them a few shares and committing to pay a large dividend.
We'll see how large the dividend is but there are three other European post offices that are publicly traded; Deutsche Post which yields 2.8%, Oesterreischeische Post which yields 5.3% and earlier this year Bpost went public priced to yield 5% but it hasn't paid a dividend yet. Oesterreischeische is Austria and Bpost is Belgium. The first two have performed well but it is a little early to draw any conclusions on Bpost.
Over the years I have written quite a few posts about market segments that are somewhat off the beaten path. There are two reasons for this. One is that it is a lot of fun to learn about new (to me) things in the market regardless of whether they ever make their way into the portfolio.
The other reason is that one of these things might make their way into the portfolio and help clients. In the past we've looked at things including airports and toll roads and while the ability to trade them on a large scale (as an RIA might do) is not great some have done very well and had high payouts along the way. I continue to believe there is a holy grail holding of sorts with low volatility, high yield and performs better than the utilities sector. Maybe we've found it already in one of these or we can continue to look.
Unrelated, an ongoing joke in our house is that with there being so many reality TV shows about Alaska, everyone in that state has been on at least one show. Earlier today my wife went to a United Animal Friends (the dog rescue she's been volunteering with for seven years) meeting with some sort of consulting company. The two consultants had recently moved here from Alaska so my wife asked what show they'd been on and they were on a show once; Buying Alaska. I knew it!
The picture is from our trip to Alaska in 2004.

Anyone that knows the bloat of government-run programs could hardly object to the privatization of the USPS.
Unless, of course, if you are one of those high six figure union bosses collecting dues or a low information slacker wanting $15.00/hour and benefits for showing up to sling letters into a canvas bag.

I know your penchant for exploring oddball investments, but i really think you would better serve your clients if you had a better handle on the popularity of stocks such as fb, lnkdin, goog, amzn, etc. I still cant get over your aapl investment at what, 675, when i thought it was clear the stock was going down. i bought back in at 398 and have a nice paper profit. I suppose you will ignore the twitter ipo also, and instead invest in some other oddball area which no one else cares about and therefore the stock price flatlines.

Hi Roger,
The Post Office is not for Sale!
Royal Mail and The Post Office are two separate UK companies; they were separated about a year ago. Royal Mail is being privatised (taken public as you have written) but the Post Office is and will continue to be a nationalised business and is not for sale. There will be no 'public post offices' as your headline reads. - 12:19 PM

If you sold at $675 and bought at $575, how is that an 11% loss? I'm confused? - 1:03 PM

Lecture: Professor Akira Nishimura, Kagoshima University- Pacification of the Dead Spirits, Inspiration for the Living: The Relation of the Violent Structure of Japanese Society to the Commemoration for the War Dead
In Japan, two kinds of the dead have been discussed separately in the past research trends on the commemoration for war dead: the fallen soldiers and the civilian casualties like the atomic bomb dead. In this talk, Professor Akira Nishimura will try to recapitulate such genealogies of the commemorations based on the violent structure of Japanese society and abstract two types of vectors as "pacification and inspiration" which represent the relation of the living and the dead.

Edgar-winner Coben (Caught) continues to mine rich veins of terror in his New Jersey novels of domestic suspense, exploring both the reality and the ideal of family ties and the ease with which evil can destroy both. In this masterful stand-alone, three people are haunted by the disappearance of Stewart Green 17 years earlier in Atlantic City: photographer Ray Levine; housewife Megan Pierce; and Detective Broome, who investigated the disappearance and befriended Green's wife and kids. The disappearance of Carlton Flynn on February 18, the same date Green went missing, helps reignite the smoldering case, pointing the way to other victims and a strange pattern. Flynn's case also results in a pair of preppie, very scary sadists calling themselves Ken and Barbie entering the scene. Coben writes with wit and irony, and his flair for exposing the frail balance point between order and chaos in our lives has never been stronger than in this suspenseful outing. 5-city author tour.

Lumat³ LB 9508 tube luminometer provides the sensitivity and versatility you need in a general purpose luminometer. Advanced tube-based photon counting provides an extended dynamic range with linearity over more than six decades. The instrument is ideally suited for reporter gene assays, and other luminescence research and diagnostics applications.
The Lumat features reagent injectors providing the highest reliability and simplicity in liquid handling. Based on the jet injection principle the injectors combine high speed and precision of the injected volume with the reliable mixing of reagents. The injected reagent volume is programmable within the range of 10 - 100 µL or 25 - 300 µl. Designed to withstand corrosive reagents the Lumat's variable volume injectors are also optimized to reduce dead volume; an important consideration when using expensive reagents.
Unique measurement chamber design The measurement chamber is designed to enable rotating sample transport. You can load a second sample while the first one is being measured, thus saving time which results in throughputs approaching those of an automatic instrument. The special design of measurement chamber provides superior light collection efficiency.
The instrument is operated with ICE - a modern easy-to-use and powerful software. Wizard guidance, flexible display functions and export as xls, pdf and doc files stress the value of this software.
Measurement and evaluation modes include dual measurement, kinetic measurement, curve fitting and cut-off classification.
