What's an Investor to Do? Recession-Proof Stocks
Investors are worried about a recession again. The ISM nonmanufacturing index showed that the services sector--which represents over three-quarters of the U.S. economy, actually shrank in January instead of growing weakly. The markets responded with another selloff.
To help investors weather the storm, CNBC asked the experts for some recession-proof stock picks.
Medical Device Stocks: Healthy Buys
"It looks like it might be a good time to move into Boston Scientific or Johnson & Johnson , one of the two players in the market right now in the U.S., Medtronic down the road, Abbott down the road as well."
Jan Wald, Stanford Group Managing Director
Wald recommends: Boston Scientific , Johnson & Johnson , Medtronic and Abbott
Value Stocks at a Bargain
"In Cablevision's case, with Verizon Fios, it's really about what the assets are worth, and the dynamics in place to capture full value here...We think what's going to happen here is when Jeff Bewkes at Time Warner splits up the company, Time Warner Cable gets spun out; they become an independent entity, and ultimately go after Cablevision or force [Cablevision's majority owners] to capture a higher value. We think it's probably worth $40 to $44 a share."
Michael Chren, Allegiant Asset Management Portfolio Manager
Chren recommends: Cablevision and Sara Lee
Fight the downturn -- trade with CNBC's experts:
Giant Stocks for Tough Times
"The big guys, the giants, I'm thinking Berkshire Hathaway, Microsoft, GE, these are companies that are taking advantage of the troubles. The tough guys are going to win - Darwinian survivors."
Michael Holland, Holland & Co. Chairman
Holland recommends: Berkshire Hathaway , Microsoft and General Electric

Tyler Huggins : Change Budget Process
Burlington City Council candidate Tyler Huggins says the state of the city's finances prompted him to enter the race.
He is one of 11 candidates for three open seats on the panel.
Huggins says he is running to get a lot done, starting with changing the way the city budget is put together.
He says instead of the traditional line-item budget format, he prefers an outcome-based plan.
"As it is titled, it is outcome-based," says Huggins. "You find out what the citizens want done and you allocate the money to those outcomes."
Huggins says his funding priorities would be public safety and infrastructure.
When it comes to infrastructure, he says re-opening Cascade Bridge is one of his main interests.
He says, if elected, he would also push for the city to switch its vehicular fleet to alternatives fuels and try to reduce the workforce through attrition, as opposed to lay-offs.
"You (can also) expand the responsibilities for the people you do have working," says Huggins, "so you don't have to hire more people."
The primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 8.

You're making me want to bake up a butternut squash right now! It's almost 10pm...that's not weird, right?
ReplyDelete - the cape on the cornerTuesday, January 31, 2012
um, ok...i've not heard of this, but i would be willing to give them a try. you make them look good!
ReplyDelete I tweeted ya in case you don't see this -- They are firm on the outside and soft inside! Not deep fried firm but not soft and soggy -- they hold their shape like champs! I've heard of techniques where you can add a little corn starch to the outside for extra crunch and tried it buuut.... the corn starch is powdery and tastes like fried chicken to me! lol. man i'm weird ;)

Oh yes, this is totally happening...and of course I plan to pile on the cheese! Yum! God girl, your photos look awesome! I swear I could lick that shot of the fry dipped in ketchup!
ReplyDelete Oh wow.. I have been trying to perfect baked beet crisps for weeks now but they always come out.. well.. floppy. I am soooo trying this technique out! Thank you so much!

OMG. These were AMAZING! I ended up using the 1/2 tsp of oil. My boyfriend and I devoured an entire butternut squash, and he hates squash! I will most definitely be making these again. I just wish butternut squash was easier to prep! Thanks for the awesome idea!

My husband recently had a mild heart attack. He has a 40% blockage in another artery. The doctors told us we may be able to get rid of that blockage if we went to a plant based diet. We are really working hard to achieve that diet. Your recipes are really inspiring me. Thank you. I know when you call for cheese I can use soy cheese and no eggs. I also have to watch the salt. He can have a little more than a teaspoon a day.
ReplyDelete Hey Gloria! Happy to help! Absolutely skip the cheese and eggs -- most of my recipes are fantastic with flax eggs in place of actual eggs or no eggs at all and cheese is easily left off the top of any of the recipes! Avocado, salsa, and hot sauce all make fabulous toppings in place of the cheese as well as the soy cheese you mentioned! I hope to have more healthy recipes to send your way in 2014! xo

Sigh x5. Good pitching. Bad defense. No offense.
5 responses to "Enhanced Box Score: Pirates 2, Cubs 0 – June 30, 2010"
Ok Ace it now July and the Cubs are 10 back, time to cough up those trade idea.
Told ya, they would loose 2 of 3 from them. I agree with Kevin G. Let the trade talks start. Remember, there some good FA next year, so lets shed some money! Everybody is available!
Hey, everyone on the Internets, the word is "lose." (grumble)
Not if you're talking about your mom.
(that is just a generic "your mom" joke, by the way – not saying anything about your actual mom)
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, time to get what the team can for what they have. Shutout by the Pirates…at home, and yet 37k+ showed up to witness it. I don't what's worse, this team or the fans that pay money to see them play. There will be no changes with nearly 40K showing up for games still. Ricketts is simply laughing to the bank. Who cares about winning when the pockets are that swollen.
Again, Fukudome starts and leads off, the cubs lose. Go figure. Simple math Lou, dude is a worthless piece of crap.

April Minor League Update
Good morning to everyone!
I hope you enjoy this and learning more about the goings on in the Twins system. Who knows, many of these names may become much more prominent over the course of the season. I mean, some may be traded for veteran players. Others may continue to rise up the organizational ladder and may get some time with the Twins. So, although many only care about the major league Minnesota Twins, I feel it is very important (and fun) to know what is happening at the lower levels. Below, you will see my person rankings of the Top 5 Hitters and then Pitchers for the month of April. I did this last year as well. I usually struggle keeping the list of pitchers to just five because there are frequently a lot of great performances. With the minor league hitters, there just haven't been as many 'top prospects' and great offensive performances with the bat. Not the case this month. I added a few Honorable Mention names in both categories with some numbers to show that there were several other players, pitchers and hitters, that deserve to be noticed.
So please, feel free to leave some comments or send me an e-mail with any thoughts that you may have. Let's get started (Note - Stats are only for April)
#5 - Jose Morales - Catcher - Rochester Red Wings
Morales was drafted by the Twins with the first pick in the 3rd round of the 2001 draft out of Academia de Providencia High School in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. It is interesting that he was drafted as a shortstop and then moved immediately to catcher since that was the same year that the Twins took Joe Mauer with the #1 overall pick. After missing most of the 2005 season with injury, Morales came back last year with New Britain and really got off to a terrible start. At the end of the year, he moved up for a few games with Rochester and was their primary catcher in the playoffs. This year, he is off to a great start. In April, he hit .408/.463/.571. He was 20-49. The only reason that he is down this far on the list is because of the lesser at bats, but he is a catcher/DH and the Red Wings missed a lot of games early in the month. He added five doubles, a homer and six RBI. You could argue that there were two or three guys that are more deserving of being ranked #5. You could also argue that he deserves to be higher up on this list. If nothing else, it appears that the Twins will have a decent backup catcher in 2009 when Mike Redmond is no longer with the team.
#4 - Garrett Jones - 1B/RF - Rochester Red Wings
Jones has massive power. That is why the Twins have been patient with a couple of years of bad batting averages and a lot of strikeouts in AAA and kept them on their roster. He had a strikeout ever 4.3 at bats last year. So, part of the reason that he makes this list this month is because in 68 at bats in April, Jones had 11 strikeouts. That is one every 6.2 at bats. Still not great, but much improved. Putting the ball in play more may help him to more months like he had in April. For the month, he hit .338/.373/.559 with six doubles, three homers and 15 RBI. A good month to build off of, and a couple more months like that and he becomes a viable bench guy for the big league club.
#3 - Trevor Plouffe - Shortstop - New Britain Rockcats
Trevor Plouffe always gets off to slow starts... right? Not this year! Although the natural progression had Plouffe moving up to New Britain to start this year, I really thought that a half-season at Ft. Myers again this year would do wonders for him. But the Twins felt he was ready for AA. He proved them right in April. He hit .310/.365/.552 (18-58) with five doubles, three homers and eight RBI. He also played some excellent defense at SS. Clearly Plouffe worked very hard last season and throughout the offseason and it has to be encouraging for it to pay dividends right away this season!
#2 - Erik Lis - Outfield - Ft. Myers Miracle
Erik Lis spent all of 2006 tearing up the Midwest League. Until he broke his hamate bone, that is. That is not an injury that is easy to come back from for a hitter. But, based on his first month in the Florida State League, his hand is just fine. In April, he hit .310/.402/.488 with nine doubles, two home runs and 17 RBI. He walked and struck out 12 times. Don't forget that he is also making the adjustment from 1B to left field, so he has a lot on his plate right now.
The SethSpeaks April Player of the Month is... (drum roll please)
# 1 - Danny Valencia - Infield - Beloit Snappers
Valencia had an excellent two years at the University of Miami yet somehow he slipped to the Twins in the 19th round of last year's draft. The 22 year old 3B/1B has started his career in style. At Elizabethton last year, he hit .311/.365/.505 with 13 doubles, 8 homers and 29 RBI in 190 at bats. He moves up to Beloit this year and has been able to get off to an excellent start. In April, he hit .303/.387/.591 (20-66). He had four doubles, a minor league-leading five home runs and 13 RBI. It will be interesting to see if he maintains his quality play for another month at Beloit if he gets a promotion to Ft. Myers. Ft. Myers could use a bat.
HONORABLE MENTION: Johnny Woodard, Beloit Snappers (.321/.424/.500, 18-56, 7-2B, 1-HR, 5-RBI, 10 BB, 18 K) - Brian Buscher, New Britain Rockcats (.311/.373/.508, 19-61, 7-2B, 1-3B, 1-HR, 9 RBI, 5 BB, 10 K) - Matt Tolbert, Rochester Red Wings (.340/.407/.553, 16-47, 2-2B, 1-3B, 2-HR, 9 RBI, 4 BB, 5 K).
#5 - Robert Delaney - Reliever - Beloit Snappers
There has to be at least one reliever in the top five, right? Although that has proven to be the case most of the time, it has not been because of a mandate. And it is no different this time. As a matter of fact, there were several relievers worthy of being on this list. Delaney is certainly not a name that Twins fans have likely heard of. The 22 year old out of St. John's signed with the Twins last season and spent some time with the GCL Twins and when their season ended, he moved up to Ft. Myers for the rest of the season. He begins this season with Beloit and had an excellent first month. In seven games and 13 innings, he went 0-0 with a 0.69 ERA. He walked two and struck out 16. His WHIP was 0.62.
#4 - Kyle Waldrop - Starter - Ft. Myers Miracle
The Twins third first round pick in 2004 out of high school, Waldrop spent a season and a half at Beloit. He moved up to Ft. Myers after the all-star break last year and did well. That is where he begins his 2007 season as well, and he is showing that he may be soon ready for AA. For April, Waldrop went 3-0 with a 3.08 ERA. In 26.1 innings, he walked four and struck out 25. His WHIP was 0.99. It is great to see the strikeouts for Waldrop and reports indicate that he is throwing harder this year. That's great, to go along with excellent control and stuff.
#3 - Scott Baker - Starter - Rochester Red Wings
Although Baker is technically no longer a prospect because he lost his Rookie status two seasons ago, he definitely still qualifies for this list. Baker made three starts in April and also finished one game. He was 2-0 with a Save and a 1.57 ERA. In 23 innings, he has just three walks and 23 strikeouts. His WHIP is 0.78. So far so good. It would be interesting to know if he is getting the ball down. I am guessing so because of the number of strikeouts. The guy deserves a shot. If he doesn't get that with the Twins, he will somewhere.
#2 - Jeff Manship - Starter - Beloit Snappers
The Twins 14th round pick in 2006, Manship should/could be #1 on this list. In most organizations, this type of performance would be #1. For April, Manship went 2-0 with a 0.84 ERA. In 32 innings, he has three walks and 36 strikeouts. His WHIP was 0.59. It is reported that Manship was thought of as a top round pick. However, he had Tommy John surgery while at Notre Dame and there were rumors that he would not sign. That is likely why he fell, but the Twins and their scouts knew something, and this is a great pick. As long as he stays at Beloit, he will be near the top of this list each month. I expect that it won't be long before he is up at Ft. Myers... and he still will be on this list.
The SethSpeaks April Pitcher of the Month is... (drum roll please)
# 1 - Kevin Slowey - Starter - Rochester Red Wings
As you know, Slowey has been a good friend of this site for quite awhile now. I believe that he was in the top five, if not the top three, each month last year. Believe me, it has nothing to do with favoritism. Slowey has been incredible his entire career! For April, he made four starts and went 3-0 with a 1.05 ERA. In 25.2 innings, he has walked two and struck out 28. He has a 0.62 WHIP. Simply incredible. The numbers are almost identical to those of Manship's, but Slowey is just a year older and just one step away from the big leagues, so that was the deciding factor. Will he get the big league call soon? I don't know, but if he keeps pitching like he has so far, it will just have to happen.
HONORABLE MENTION - Brian Duensing, New Britain Rockcats (2-0, 2.75 ERA, 4 GS, 19.2 IP, 4 BB, 14 K, 1.22 WHIP) - Jose Mijares, New Britain Rockcats (1-0, 3 Saves, 1.69 ERA, 7 G, 10.2 IP, 4 BB, 10 K, 0.84 WHIP) - Ryan Mullins, Ft. Myers Miracle (0-2, 3.47 ERA, 5 G, 4 GS, 23.1 IP, 6 BB, 27 K, 1.20 WHIP) - Eddie Morlan, Ft. Myers Miracle (1-0, 3 Saves, 0.84 ERA, 7 G, 10.2 IP, 2 BB, 9 K, 0.56 WHIP) - Angel Garcia, Ft. Myers Miracle (0-1, 1.64 ERA, 7 G, 11 IP, 5 BB, 12 K, 0.91 WHIP) - Armando Gabino, Beloit Snappers (1-0, 0.71 ERA, 6 G, 12.2 IP, 1 BB, 9 K, 0.71 WHIP).
So there you have it. The April SethSpeaks hitter and pitcher of the month along with some other very worthy candidates. Of course, I could have commented on several others too without feeling like I was hurting the list. The Twins system is solid, and very well represented in the ten names above.
The following is more notes on the Twins minor league prospects:
Tommy Watkins isn't really a prospect, but he sure is acting like one. Since his promotion to Rochester last year, he has done great. Now, for April, you may not be impressed by his .217 batting average. However, he walked 13 times and struck out 12 times. You know how much I like that. The walks gave up a .351 on-base percentage, and that is why he is the Red Wings #2 hitter.
I know I'm on my own on this one. I think that Trent Oeltjen is a better prospect than Denard Span. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but every year, Oeltjen doesn't get the publicity and ends up producing immensely. In April, Oeltjen hit .318/.375/.409. Span hit .217/.280/.275. Who knows? In May, these numbers may flip-flop, but I am one that believes track record means something, and track record tells me that Oeltjen will again out-produce Span.
Now that Alexi Casilla is back down with Rochester, I will be very interested in seeing how the middle infield plays out. Tommy Watkins and Matt Tolbert have been alternating between 2B and SS. Casilla must play every day. In my mind, Tolbert is a true prospect and needs to play (and deserves to play), and Watkins is someone doing enough to stay in the lineup.
I keep reading people write that Mike Venafro should come up to replace Dennys Reyes. Believe me, Reyes is anything but irreplaceable. However, in 9.1 April innings, Venafro gave up 11 hits and seven walks. He struck out just five. His role with the Twins would be to get lefties out. Well, against lefties in April, he gave up five hits and walked four in four innings. That's not too great.
New Britain Infielder Felix Molina was an Eastern League All-Star in 2006. He returned to the team this year. He started the season going 2-12 (.167). Since then, he has gone 11-24 (.458) including 7 for his last 13.
After joining the Twins organization last summer in the Juan Castro trade, Brandon Roberts definitely made a strong impression on his new teammates. This spring, he is starting with New Britain and in April, he hit just .148 and got on base just 17.5% of the time. Last year, he combined for 50 stolen bases. In April... he was 0-2 in stolen base attempts.
Worst April in the Organization - Definitely Anthony Swarzak. I ranked Swarzak as my 4th Twins prospect before the season. He started with the Rockcats and was 0-2 with an 11.12 ERA. In 5.2 innings, he gave up nine hits and walked five. If that were it, it wouldn't be so bad. That 50 game suspension for a 'drug of abuse' is more than a little disappointing!
Erik Lis is the only member of the Ft. Myers Miracle that hit over .265 in April. He also had nine doubles. All while learning to play a new position, left field.
Alexander Smit and Oswaldo (Ozzie) Sosa were both added to the Twins 40 man roster after last season because they both had big breakout years at Beloit last year. In April, Smit's ERA was 5.40. Sosa's ERA was 5.59.
On April 23, I wrote an article on Chris Parmalee and Joe Benson regarding how frequently they were striking out. Parmalee had 21 strikeouts in just 47 plate appearances (1 strikeout ever 2.24 plate appearances). Benson had 16 strikeouts in 48 plate appearances (1 strikeout every 3.0 plate appearances). Since that day, Parmalee and Benson have both had 24 more plate appearances. Parmalee struck out six times, so once every four plate appearances. Benson struck out five times, so once every 4.8 plate appearances. I mention this because although that is still a lot, it is a great improvement in simply putting the ball in play. That's what the low levels of the minor leagues are for, development and making improvements.
Are there any other thoughts that I missed or should have pointed out. Feel free to send me any notes or tidbits on any of the players. Feel free to discuss below in the comments or send me an e-mail.
Man, you hate to lose a game like that. Joe Nathan is starting to remind me a lot of Eddie Guardado. Observation tells me that you can tell how Nathan's outing will go by his first batter, and really his first pitch. When Eddie was going to struggle, that first pitch fastball was high and away. Nathan did that tonight, and he did that a lot in April. He is definitely not right, and yet his fastball is still hitting 95. His slider is still at 89. Maybe he needs to throw more of his slow curve at 75 or so, just to give the hitters a different speed to have to time.
Michael Cuddyer was out of the lineup with his back problem. I don't think he will be out too long.
Boof Bonser was better. Six innings. One run. Four Walks though. That's still not good. But, a quality start.
Pat Neshek had three strikeouts in 1.2 innings.
Torii Hunter just continues to rake. 3-5 with his 6th homer. Could it be for real? We can hope!
Jason Kubel and Nick Punto each struck out looking twice. Joe Mauer did once. I would contend that all five called third strikes were strikes. I know I was always coached to protect the plate with two strikes so that the ump couldn't call you out. What happened to that philosophy! Anything close... swing! I wonder if they would argue that the pitches were inside? If they're inside but close enough to call a strike, turn on the ball and pull it!
Ron Gardenhire got thrown out of a game for no reason yet again. He was arguing on a play that the Twins thought they had a double play on. Replays showed that the ump was right. If the play is that close and could go either way, then don't argue and certainly don't get tossed. What good did it do? The Twins had the lead and were just fine. You could argue that the team played more uptight after he was thrown out! Remember, umpires make mistakes. If you don't like it, go with instant replay and mess up the pace of the game. Umps may make a couple of mistakes, but so do players, and so do coaches.
Justin Morneau and Jason Bartlett each had two hits. In his first game back, Jeff Cirillo had two hits. Good for him. He will definitely be an asset for this team!
I thought John Kruk was bad. On Baseball Tonight, Kruk and Fernando Vina were discussing their choices as the top pitchers in baseball. Kruk said Johan Santana was #1, called him the best left-handed pitcher and the best pitcher in baseball. He put Roy Halladay #2, and Roy Oswalt at #3. I concur. Who did Vina have on his list? #1 was Bartolo Colon. HUH?? #2 was Dontrelle Willis? Seriously? #3 was Josh Beckett, probably because he is 6-0 so far this year. So, Kruk wins tonight!
Do you have any thoughts on the Twins, the Devil Rays, or anything else? If so, send me an e-mail, or post some Comments below.

Wednesday - Red Wings 7, Columbus 2 – Matt Garza made another start in front of Terry Ryan and got his first win of the year. The righty gave up two runs on six hits. In six innings, he walked one and struck out nine. Julio DePaula recorded his second save of the year. He went the final three innings. He gave up four hits and walked one, but he did not allow a run. Matt Tolbert increased his batting average to .370 with a 3-3 game. He hit his third triple and drove in two runs. Denard Span went 2-5 with two doubles and three RBI. Matt Moses was 2-4.
Wednesday - Rockcats 3, Binghamton 6 – Jesse Floyd gave up only three runs in four innings. I say only because he gave up three hits and EIGHT walks. That's not good! Danny Powers came in and threw three shutout innings, striking out four. Jay Sawatski then took the loss by giving up a run in the eighth inning. Jose Mijares gave up two runs on four hits in the ninth inning. Felix Molina remains on a tear. He went 2-3 with two walks and an RBI. Korey Feiner and Brandon Roberts each had a single and a walk.
Wednesday - Miracle 0, Tampa 4 – Kyle Waldrop took his first loss of the year, and really, he had his first non-good start. He did go five innings and gave up four runs (3 earned). He gave up seven hits and two walks though. He struck out five, but he had two wild pitches and committed a throwing error. Josh Hill gave up four hits and a walk in two innings, but no runs scored. David Shinskie then threw two more shutout innings. The Miracle bats are in need of a miracle. They have been cold. In this game, he had just three hits. Juan Portes had a single and walked once.
Wednesday - Snappers 3, Fort Wayne 2 – Not much offense for the Snappers, but just enough for a win. Brian Dinkelman led the way going 3-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases. Allan de San Miguel had a double. Jose Lugo started for Beloit. He went 4.2 innings and gave up two runs (1 earned) on five hits. He had three walks and three strikeouts. Dan Leatherman picked up the win. He went the next 2.2 innings and struck out five. Rob Delaney got his fifth save, striking out three in 1.2 perfect innings.
Do you have any further thoughts on any Twins prospects, minor leaguers, or these summaries? I would love any input, or ideas to make it better. Thanks! E-mail me, or also feel free to leave comments below.
It was a tough night on American Idol as two contestants were eliminated. First, they brought up Melinda Doolittle, Phil Stacy and Lakisha Jones were brought to the stage. Melinda was obviously safe, and in the end Phil Stacy was sent home. He then sang and was excellent. Soon after, Ryan Seacrest had Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Chris Richardson stand up. He immediately told Jordin that she was safe. He did that because he said they put her through too much last week. That's true. So, in the end, it was Blake and Chris, and I know we all knew what the results would be. Chris was eliminated, sent home. At this stage, though, the voters probably have it right. The top four performers are still in the competition, although I would argue that Chris could be ranked ahead of Lakisha. The top three are the top three though, and America got that right. Any thoughts?
Let me know what you think. Send me an e-mail, or let's talk about it in the Comments here. That is it for today and for the week!

Things I liked:Actual buckshot for a pellet gun, they carry a great tight pattern at about 30-40 feet and spread fairly and evenly over good distances, you can also place a .22 round ball in the end and have a multi-sized shot, you can even use the empty cartridge as an adapter-but, you will loose around 25fps. Things I would have changed:Packaging. What others should know:These only fit in the Gamo Shadow & Express series .22 pellet rifles, which are becoming hard to find. Things I liked:fun to shoot, powerful at close range, easily takes rabbits, squirrels, gophers, dangerous insects out at close range 5-10 yards. I have even killed a small rattlesnake with a well place headshot! Things I would have changed:Put more pellets in shell, Put more shells in package like 40-50 count instead of 25 count. Drop price more or add extra shells. What others should know:Careful what you aim at as some pellets in shell may ricochet, use at close range, clean your barrel at least every 5 shells as the plastic sticks to the barrel somewhat. I do not recommend for reloading as it may damage the airgun! HAVE FUN! Things I liked:Reasonable spread. People have mentioned they're reloadable, but I have yet to try. Things I would have changed:I'd make them a bit cheaper. Or more easily reloadable. What others should know:Only used these for plinking so far, no varminting/pest removal. That said, they're pretty fun. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

My names Michelle Fountain and I'm a sophomore at Jefferson High School. The Cedar River has always been pretty high and this winter with all the ice melting isn't helping with the rising of the water at all. From my back yard I could see the river over by Quaker Oats where all the ice has rose up and over part of Ellis Road. The park down by edgewood is completely flooded. I took a few pictures of some of the stop signs and some of the remains of what you can see the tips of.

Briggs & Riley's Upright Carry-On
If you're looking for a reason to not check luggage and go carry-on only, here's one: My friend's holiday flight to France was canceled due to bad weather, but her luggage went to Amsterdam and Nice anyway. She waited a week for it to be returned to her.
Here's another reason: Briggs & Riley Travelware's smart 20-inch upright carry-on. At just 8.7 lbs., and 20 x 14 x 8.5 in. (50.8 x 35.6 x 21.6 cm), it's easy to maneuver and fits in the overhead compartment. Some other facts: The bag is made with Briggs & Riley's exclusive Tuff-lite fabric, offering strength as well as abrasion resistance. The company's "The Outsider" handle system means that the bars are on the outside, ensuring flat packing inside. And if anything goes wrong -- even airline damage -- you're covered with the "Simple as that" lifetime warranty. FoxNews.com even named the bag in its "Top Five Coolest Pieces of Luggage" as the "Best All-Purpose Carry-On."
Available in Desert, Silver, Rainforest, and Sunset (shown). $235.00

Transfer Switches
If you are thinking about purchasing a generator to provide emergency power to your business, you will need a generator transfer switch to safely supply the necessary power. Don't let power outages effect your bottom line. Call Mr. Electric to have a transfer switch installed with your new generator.
What is a transfer switch and why do I need one?
A transfer switch supplies powers to your generator during black outs, brown outs or other power outages. It is connected to both utility power and your generator. A transfer switch will isolate each type of power to prevent backfeeding. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires a transfer switch if you have more than one source of power feeding into your business. It is illegal to have a generator connected directly to electrical wiring without a transfer switch because it can cause backfeeding. Backfeeding occurs when you supply electricity from your electrical system back into the utility lines. It is an electrical hazard for utility workers who are unaware that voltage is present on the line. Your generator can even be damaged if power is restored while backfeeding is occurring.
What size transfer switch do I need?
The size of your transfer switch will depend upon many things including: the size of your utility service, the appliances you wish to operate and the size of generator. If you are looking to power your entire building you may need more than one generator.
What kind of transfer switch do I need?
There are three main types of transfer switches: manual switches, automatic switches and a manual and automatic combination switches. Automatic transfer switches have the obvious advantage of automatically transferring between utility power and generator power when the power goes out and switching back when the power returns. However, manual switches and combination switches allow for more flexibility in use.
Maintain power to critical electrical appliances before the next power outage with a safely installed generator and transfer switch by Mr. Electric. Plan ahead and give us a call today!

September 9, 2008 In another milestone for the Airborne Laser (ABL) program, and further evidence of the growing science-fiction like capabilities of the modern military machine, Boeing and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency have successfully fired a high-energy chemical laser onboard the ABL aircraft during ground testing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The test moves the project a step closer to a full missile shoot-down demonstration expected in 2009.
A joint project between Northrop Grumman (who built the laser), Lockheed Martin (beam control/fire control system) and prime contractor Boeing (battle management system), the ABL is a high-energy laser housed in a modified Boeing 747-400F that is designed to autonomously detect, track and shoot down ballistic missiles in their boost phase of flight.
The latest test saw a significant reduction on installation time on the aircraft - down to about a third of the time required when the laser was installed in the laboratory at Edwards.
"The achievement of 'first light' onboard the Airborne Laser aircraft is a key milestone for the ABL team," said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defense Systems. "The team did an extraordinary job preparing ABL for this important test. The program remains on track to reach the missile shoot-down demonstration planned for 2009."
More ground tests are planned in the build-up to the 2009 demonstration including the firing of the laser into an onboard calorimeter to measure its power and testing of the beam control/fire control system.

*First-quarter earnings/shr $0.72 vs est $0.63. Jan 31- Tyson Foods Inc, the largest U.S. meat processor, reported first-quarter results that beat analysts' expectations, helped by higher chicken and beef sales.

Youth Corps Uses Valentine's Day To Teach Important Business Skills | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Youth Corps, a local leadership program for high school students, will wrap up their business module on Thursday, February 14 with Valentine's Day flower booths located throughout the Columbia area.
Since the beginning of the year thirty-six students have been learning all aspects of owning and running a business with the help of local business owners and Youth Corps alumni. Students learn the art of flower arranging as well as business skills such as marketing, sales, and accounting. Each team is assigned a location for sales and is responsible for manning that location, making sales, and building arrangements on site. This year the locations are as follows:
Buds for Buddies - Bank of America, 301 Harbison Blvd.
A Date to Remember - Jiffy Lube, Knox Abbott & 12th St., Cayce
Rose Buds - Circle K, Forest Drive & Trenholm Road
Prime Time Floral Design - Decker Blvd. & Trenholm Road
Flower Up! - Exxon, Sparkleberry & Clemson Roads
As of today, the five teams have accrued more than $18,000 in pre-sales, which they will deliver on Wednesday. The goal is to match the pre-sales number with on-site sales on Valentine's Day. As a way to give back to the community, each team will donate a portion of their gross receipts to a charity of their choosing. Some of the selected organizations include those that serve children with downs syndrome and the SC Autistic School.
Youth Corps is a leadership program for outstanding ninth and tenth grade students in the Midlands. The Youth Corps year is broken down into nine different modules including Philanthropy & Non-profits, Crimes, Victims & Justice, Media & Journalism, Legislation & Government, Business & Economics, Investment & Finance, Career & Higher Education, and Arts & Culture. As part of the experience students start their own business, help pass an actual bill at the State House, interact with young people living at DJJ, participate in service projects and much more as they develop their leadership skills and learn about our community.

Vultee BT-13A Valiant |
Serial Number: 42-42353
Markings: U.S. Army Air Forces, 1941
Virtually every potential pilot trained by the Army Air Force in World War II did their Basic Flight course in a BT-13. The BT-13 was an excellent trainer for new pilots since it had very docile handling characteristics. One feature of the aircraft that was not appreciated led to its unflattering nickname "Vibrator." In high speed flight the canopy rattled in a disconcerting manner that tended to distract new pilots. The first BT-13s entered Army service in 1939 and eventually more than 11,000 were built. |

The SEC Rule That Broke Wall Street
In a recent column for Reuters, Bethany McLean does an excellent job of demolishing one of the most widespread urban legends regarding the causes of the financial crisis.
Legend has it that a 2004 change to a rule governing capital adequacy at Wall Street firms allowed broker-dealers to double their leverage, making them highly fragile and likely to fail in a crisis. As McLean explains, this explanation never made all that much sense and has always been fairly easy to disprove.
But I'm not sure that we should really let the Securities and Exchange Commission off the hook. As it turns out, it is very likely that the 2004 changes actually did contribute to the financial crisis—albeit in a very different way than the people cited in McLean's article wrongly suspect.
The key to understanding the 2004 regulatory change is to forget the narrative about deregulation. Look at it as an expansion of regulation, which is how the SEC saw it.
"The amendments should help the Commission to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets by improving oversight of broker-dealers and providing an incentive for broker-dealers to implement strong risk management practices. Furthermore, by supervising the financial stability of the broker dealer and its affiliates on a consolidated basis, the Commission may monitor better, and act more quickly in response to, any risks that affiliates and the ultimate holding company may pose to the broker-dealer," the SEC says in the Federal Registrar entry encoding the law.
Even after the financial crisis, the SEC continued to see it this way.
"First, and most importantly, the Commission did not undo any leverage restrictions in 2004. Rather, I believe that the Commission sought to fill a gap in the statutory system of supervision by offering to the US investment banks, for the first time, a regime of comprehensive consolidated oversight by virtue of its conditions on the broker-dealers. Given pressures from Europe, it was expected that the five largest US investment banks would make the necessary one-time election to be supervised under this regime. Thus the Commission effectively added an additional layer of supervision at the holding company where none had existed previously," Eric Siri, the director of the SEC's Division of Markets and Trading, said in a 2009 speech.
In particular, what the 2004 amendments to the net capital rules did was bring the parent holding companies of the biggest investment banks under SEC supervision. Prior to the amendments, only the broker-dealer units were directly regulated by the SEC. After the amendments, the entire company structures of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch came under regulatory purview as "consolidated supervised entities" or CSEs.
It's helpful here to look back to a bit of the history of how these investment-bank holding companies had escaped regulation for so long. Prior to the 1970s, the broker-dealers were largely regulated only by the stock exchanges—particularly the New York Stock Exchange. But a series of financial calamities that came to be known as the "paperwork crisis" saw hundreds of Wall Street firms collapse, leaving investors with serious losses—both of funds and confidence.
To restore confidence, Congress enacted a form of deposit insurance for brokerages. Worried that insurance would lead to moral hazard and excess risk, Congress also imposed the original capital adequacy rules for Wall Street. But since these were only intended to cover the insured entities—the brokerages—they didn't reach into the parent companies, investment banking arms, and so on. So Wall Street's biggest firms were largely unsupervised entities with broker-dealer arms that fell under SEC purview.
As the securities business expanded in the 1980s and broker-dealers grew into large international financial conglomerates, regulators became increasingly worried that a broker-dealer could fail due to the insolvency of its parent holding company. This fear became a reality when the 1990 bankruptcy of Drexel Burnham Lambert led to the liquidation of its broker-dealer affiliate.
The 2004 amendments meant that the big five Wall Street firms now had to report financial data to the SEC in a manner consistent with the capital adequacy standards for U.S. bank holding companies. Which meant, at the time, a version of the Basel II risk-weighted asset approach that had been adopted by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. And that meant—cue ominous music—the big Wall Street firms were going to go crazy buying mortgage assets.
The original Basel financial regulations had a built-in mortgage bias that was intended to encourage banks to acquire mortgage-related assets. The German delegation to the original Basel meetings had urged a tilt toward mortgages in hopes of stimulating their domestic mortgage market. The Federal Reserve reluctantly agreed to accept that mortgages would get a 50 percent risk weighting.
What this meant was that a well-capitalized U.S. bank required to hold 10 cents of capital on for every $1 of commercial loans it made—representing a 10 percent capital requirement—would only have to hold 5 cents for each mortgage it made or bought. The deal was even better for mortgage bonds backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. They required regulatory capital of just 2 cents on the dollar.
The rules for US commercial banks were changed in 2001 to apply developing Basel II concepts. In order to encourage banks to hold more liquid assets, regulators wanted to encourage securitization and the holding of securities. The new banking rules applied a 200 percent capital requirement—or 20 cents on the dollar—to mortgage bonds rated B or lower; 100 percent—10 cents on the dollar—to mortgage bonds rated BB or BBB; 50 percent—5 cents on the dollar—to bonds rated A; and AA or AAA mortgage bonds got 20 percent—2 cents on the dollar.
The effect of this change on the mortgage-backed security market and commercial banks is told in "Engineering the Financial Crisis: Systemic Risk and the Failure of Regulation," by Jeffrey Friedman and Wladmir Kraus. As they explain, this change in capital requirements led to an explosion of issuance of private-label mortgage securities and a huge buildup of mortgage-related risk on the balance sheet of commercial banks.
So guess what happened when the SEC decided to supervise the Wall Street CSEs using the same Basel criteria beginning in 2004? The Wall Street firms dramatically increased their exposure to the very same kinds of loans that the commercial banks had been gobbling up.
This chart, from a 2009 Federal Reserve Bank of New York staff report by Tobias Adrian and Hyun Song Shin, shows both the steepening curve of the commercial bank acquisition of mortgages following the 2001 change and the parabolic rise of "ABS Issuers"—which means, for the most part, investment banks—acquiring mortgages following the 2004 change.
What the 2004 amendments accomplished, then, was not a dramatic unleashing of leverage but a reorientation of the balance sheets of the Wall Street investment banks toward mortgage-backed securities. Instead of "originating to distribute," the investment banks now had a regulatory incentive to hold mortgage-securities instead of other assets.
The 2004 amendments to the net capital rules meant that investment banks could reduce their chance of crossing important regulatory thresholds by building up their balance sheets with mortgage-backed securities as opposed to other securities that received less favorable regulatory treatment. The amendments contributed to the financial crisis not by permitting too much leverage, but by cajoling the investment banks into adopting the view of risk held by international regulators and subsequently, loading up on mortgage-related securities.
To be sure, the 2004 amendments were not the sole regulatory contribution to Wall Street's hunger for mortgage risk. A year earlier, the SEC had amended another rule in a way that rewarded broker-dealers for holding mortgage-backed securities.
The original rule was a customer protection rule also adopted in the 1970s. Its purpose was to prevent broker-dealers from putting customer assets at risk by borrowing their securities to trade on the broker's proprietary account. It set compensation and notice requirements when brokers borrowed customer securities and had a very strict collateralization requirement. Brokers had to collateralize borrowed securities with cash, Treasurys, or irrevocable letters of credit worth 100 percent of the value of the securities.
In 2003, regulators decided to expand the range of collateral brokers could use to collateralize securities borrowings. It added several categories of collateral, including foreign sovereign debt and—ominous music again—highly rated mortgage-backed securities. Thus, following the 2003 amendment, brokers holding a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities could profit not just from the income stream they generated, but from their value as collateral for proprietary trading using customer securities.

A single, real-valued random variable is a function
(mapping) from the basic space Ω to the real line. That is, to each possible outcome ω
of an experiment there corresponds a real value
Often we have more than one random variable. Each can be considered separately, but usually they have some probabilistic ties which must be taken into account when they are considered jointly. We treat the joint case by considering the individual random variables as coordinates of a random vector. We extend the techniques for a single random variable to the multidimensional case. To simplify exposition and to keep calculations manageable, we consider a pair of random variables as coordinates of a two-dimensional random vector. The concepts and results extend directly to any finite number of random variables considered jointly.

Cell Phone Explodes in Korea, Killing Owner
A 33-year old construction worker was found dead in Cheongwon, Korea, apparently done in by his cell phone. He was found beside his excavator in a stone quarry by his coworkers, and doctors announced him DOA. "His cell phone was found in his shirt pocket with its battery severely melted and his chest burned and fractured." The company that makes the cell phone stated "We will fully cooperate with the police investigation, but we believe that the battery was very unlikely to explode. Our battery is wrapped in aluminum foil, so when there is an external shock, it should just melt, not explode.'' Of course, aluminum foil! It makes everything safe. Like the time I told my kid sister to jump off the roof with an aluminum foil helmet on. Of course she died, but it's not like her head exploded or anything.
UPDATE: It turns out the man's cell phone didn't kill him, his coworker Kwan accidentally backed over him with his excavator and made up the story to save himself. Didn't work, he's being charged with manslaughter.

All the members of the Echinacea genus are native to North America, though they are becoming more rare in the wild. The genus name Echinacea comes from the Greek word for hedgehog, referring to the spiny seed head of the flower. Historically, this family of plants has been extensively used by Native American tribes and early settlers because of its beneficial medicinal properties. Echinacea acts as a natural antibiotic, and improves the function of the immune system; it became very popular in the medical field in the early twentieth century, particularly after the extensive researches of the German Dr. Gerhard Madaus. Echinacea is still widely used as an herbal remedy, as well as being a common and well-loved addition to perennial gardens and prairie plantings.

Blue Moon Belgian White brewed by Coors. This brew is non-filtered but pours amber with a white head. I'm not a big fan of non-filtered beers. This beer smells like citrus and beer. The taste is good with smooth. There is nothing bad about this brew. This beer goes down smooth and fresh. Overall I give this beer a 3.75 out of 5. This was a good beer.

For the pleasure this beer has given me over the years i have to say this is one of those that i always go back for over and over again. My first serving of this beer was back in 2006, we've been friends ever since. Its not my favorite though, i am a stout drinker but in the social setting i turn to this white ale. Its not too heavy but its full of flavor and perfect with a complimentary garnishing of orange slice.
