Sorry and texture tips
Sorry about that misunderstanding about Oakheart. I forgot about that post altogether... :S Also, you are doing a great job on that texture, maybe we can share tips? ☾ Hawky Spit out your marbles 21:48, October 15, 2013 (UTC)
Okay, thanks! What I like to do with my texture, with pencil size one, is draw fur strands following the curve of the body of color darker and lighter than the actual pelt color (different layer, of course) and smudge them with brush size 2. ☾ Hawky Spit out your marbles 22:43, October 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Sorrel. I know this is kind of minor and should not go on a talk page, but do you remember when you asked me if I know who SnowedLightning1 was? Well, I actually don't know them. I thought you were talking about SnowedLightning, because I do know her (not very well, though), and I thought the "1" part was just a typo. Just letting you know.

Arrest made in recent robbery, suspect faces two chargesCrime, Sarnia — By Joe Burd on February 3, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Sarnia Police have arrested Lewis Giuseppe Rising, 21, of no fixed address, for a robbery that occurred at a variety store in the 400 block of Exmouth on Jan. 21.
The accused allegedly entered the store shortly after 4 a.m., armed with a knife, and robbed a 61 year old female clerk of a sum of money. Rising was wearing a scarf over his face and a hood up over his head.
He fled the store, but the whole incident was caught on store video.
Sarnia police arrested him on Feb. 2 just after the noon hour in the area of Mitton and Wellington Streets in Sarnia.
Rising will face a charge of Robbery with a Weapon and Weapons Dangerous to the Public Peace.
He remains in custody and will make his next court appearance on Feb.8 at 10 a.m. for a bail hearing.

Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

Manzi Art Space
UPDATE: also with one of Singapore's most electrifying experimental sound artists, Dennis Tan
From Manzi:
An evening of music at Manzi this June featuring classical composer and sound artist Vu Nhat Tan being joined by multi-instrumentalist Nguyen Van Thao.
Vu Nhat Tan: Tan is one of the capital's best known classical composers, noise musicians and sound artists.
Nguyen Van Thao: Thao is often referred to as a "one man band" for his ability to improvise across a variety of instruments. He'll be adding a modern rock-oriented interpretation of the Dan Bau (Vietnamese Monochord) and Dan Nguyet (Moon Lute) to Tan's electronic compositions. Featuring just two relatively slack strings and low frets, the guitar like instrument relies on pushing the strings to achieve bending notes.
Tickets: 150,000 VND (including a free drink: one Hanoi beer or a soft drink)
Kindly buy at door, or call 0989796075 to pre-purchase.

Villa Montana Beach Resort Hotel, Isabela
Rooms: 73
Reviews - Villa Montana Beach Resort Hotel
- Age Group: 41 - 50
- From: United States
- Traveller type: Special Interest/Event
Our Villa had breathtaking views of the crystal blue Caribbean Sea, and from our private verandah we enjoyed amazing sunsets that we still talk about. The wedding was beautiful overlooking the ocean at dusk. it made me wish that I had found this place 15 years ago when my husband and I were married.
The staff made us feel welcomed and they always had a hello and a warm smile as you passed them around the grounds. We were there for 4 days and there was so much to do we had a hard time deciding how to spend our free time. My husband and I went horseback riding along the secluded beach and also took a great mountain bike ride into lush green forests. The setting of the Villa Montana Beach Resort allowed us to rekindle our romance and get back in touch with the great outdoors. We have great memories of our trip and hope to come back again one day.

Top Local Tips for Isabela
Take it easy Be polite to the people that work there if something is not to your liking. My experience was that they were very happy to help and service. Come with a relaxed attitude, you are on vacation. Don't expect NY fast service. This is not NY. Smile, have a Piña Colada and enjoy.
Aguadilla (BQN) is best gateway to the west and southwest JetBlue and Continental fly to Aguadilla (BQN), which is a much easier airport to get in and out of than San Juan, and the west of the Island is the more relaxed, with the best diving being on the southern wall, which is only 1 1/2 hours from BQN, as opposed to 3 or more from San Juan.

Occupy Boulder: Attorneys use Fourth Amendment to defend protesters
Of all the constitutional freedoms cited in defense of the Occupy movement, the First Amendment is staked most territorially. But in Occupy Boulder, attorneys defending protesters arrested for illegal camping are using the Fourth Amendment in a push to dismiss evidence gathered when police officers opened tents to look inside. The action should be discounted as unreasonable search and seizure without a warrant, they say.
If they are successful, head attorney David Harrison expects that the camping violation charges will be immediately dismissed for at least some of the six cases that went before Boulder municipal judge Linda Cooke on Monday. "Considering that what's illegal is sleeping in the tents, if the court suppresses the officer's observation of what she said was sleeping, then they really don't have any evidence of a criminal violation," he says.
Each of the six arrestees has been charged with illegal camping, an offense that carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and up to ninety days in prison. Although their arrest situations vary widely, police officers unzipped or entered tents to look inside in a few incidents.

According to Boulder city ordinances, it is acceptable to erect a tent on public property but not to sleep inside of it. But according to past interpretations of Colorado law, a tent has been established as a property similar to a house, making it fair game for the Fourth Amendment's claims against unreasonable search and seizure.
"The first thing we did was read what the police officers wrote about the case -- very brief statements on the back of the ticket," Harrison says. "On at least a few of them, an officer mentioned she had lifted a flap to see inside the tent. But it's the same level of expectation of privacy as you have in your house. An officer can no more open the door of your tent than they can open the door of your house."
The city attorney has filed a written response to Occupy Boulder's legal team, asserting that the protestors had no reasonable expectation to privacy at the movement's home on the courthouse lawn. This comes with the argument that, even if they did guarantee privacy, the evidence was in plain view -- an exception to the city's need to otherwise provide a warrant.
In another case, however, one officer moved aside a flap to see inside, while another tent's mesh wall made searching unnecessary.
The group's pro-bono legal team also includes Boulder lawyers James Christoph, Bob Miller, Harold Fielden, John Pineau, Lindasue Smollen and Ann England, who have split the cases to focus on individual clients. Currently, all of the arrestees are set to face jury trials on February 9, which gives Cooke until then to pronounce a written ruling on the lawyers' motions to dismiss evidence in light of Fourth Amendment concerns.
In the meantime, they have also filed motions to dismiss based on First Amendment considerations in a handful of the cases. Harrison, who has handled more than sixty illegal camping cases in Boulder across two and a half years, says 78 percent of the instances he has dealt with have been dismissed. Given the complicated nature of the ordinance, he expects the same in Occupy Boulder's case as well.
"Frankly, I'd be surprised if anybody was convicted of this," he says.
Although the defense's strategies shine an interesting light on protest freedoms in Boulder, the results won't do much to influence similar strategies in Denver. The main reason is a vast difference in ordinances. Although Boulder's recent park curfew ordinance matches its larger neighbor's, Denver's anti-structure and anti-encumbrance laws make it illegal to even set up a tent on public property or sidewalks, much less sleep inside of it.
Regardless, Judd Golden, chairman of the Boulder County chapter of the ACLU, says the real point has been missed here. His branch's stance is to firmly urge the City of Boulder to accommodate any protest against the government in search of a redress of grievances. He believes this original message is being lost.
"That sounds like law enforcement is using technicalities here and trying to snoop around and find out if people are there," Golden says. "They know these people are part of Occupy Boulder.... The actual point is that this is substantial First Amendment protest against issues in the government. I'm a lawyer and I understand that you have to argue those issues, but our main goal is to get the city to recognize that this is what our constitutional structure is all about."

Nikkos TyrisTalk3
this wiki
|Nikkos Tyris
|Biographical information
|Physical description
|Chronological and political information
Nikkos Tyris was a male Anzati who had served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a Jedi Knight during the final decades of the Republic Classic era. Lost to the Order after a violent confrontation with the Bando Gora cult, Tyris fell to the dark side of the Force and became one of the founders of the Jensaarai. He was one of Count Dooku's Dark Acolytes during the Clone Wars, and was killed by Nejaa Halcyon during the conflict.
Discovered at an early age to be Force-sensitive on his homeworld of Anzat, Nikkos Tyris was trained at the Jedi Order's largest academy, the Coruscant Jedi Temple. During his time as a Padawan, Tyris crafted for himself an azure-bladed lightsaber, and utilized a bizarre form of the shien lightsaber technique. Ascending to the rank of Jedi Knight, Tyris was dispatched to Baltizaar with a task force of other Knights assigned to wipe out the dark side cult known as the Bando Gora. However, the Jedi were outmatched by the dark-siders and most were slain; the Jedi High Council believed Tyris to be among the casualties. However, he survived and gathered other survivors to him, encouraging them down the path to the dark side and to relocate themselves on Susevfi.[1]
For nearly two decades Tyris and his cult studied ancient Sith texts in their newly erected bastion, combining the techniques of the Jedi with dark side heresies into the doctrine known as the Saarai. Taking the name "Jensaarai", the "hidden followers of truth" in the ancient Sith, the cult grew strong enough to become a concern for both the Jedi High Council and the secret Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious. When the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems in 22 BBY, Tyris was approached by Count Dooku, leader of the Confederacy and the alter ego of Sith Lord Darth Tyranus. Dooku gifted Tyris with a Sith holocron favored by former Anzati Jedi Volfe Karkko and convinced the cult leader to join the Separatist war effort. Granting the Jensaari members the title of Dark Acolytes within the ranks of the Separatist Droid Army, Tyris and other leading members of the group, known as the Saarai-kaar, remained on Susevfi during the final days of the war.[1]
A month before the war would end, the Jedi Order dispatched the Knights Nejaa Halcyon, Ylenic It'kla, and Desertwind to remove the Jensaari leadership. Attacking their fortress on Susevfi, the Jedi engaged Tyris, Dustrose, and another loyal follower, in an attempt to remove the Jensaari from the war. Recalled as Nightsweat by Jedi It'kla, the Jedi attempted to turn the Dark Jedi from their path, but were rebuffed. As the battle raged on, the other members of the Saarai-kaar fell to the Jedi leaving Tyris alone with Jedi Halcyon. Taking advantage of Halycon's lack of telekinetic powers, Tyris was able to impale the Human on his lightsaber. As Halcyon lay dying, he mustered his remaining strength to drain Tyris' weapon of its power and conjure a "fist" of energy. Releasing the energy, Halcyon crushed every bone in the Anzati's body before passing into the Force. The release of dark side energies at the deaths of the three Jensaarai leaders collapsed the structure where the rest of the Jensaarai were dwelling, killing all but four of the apprentices. The survivors included the wife of one of Tyris' apprentices, the woman who would later become the Saarai-kaar of the Jensaarai.[1]
Powers and abilitiesEdit
Tyris favored the Shien variant of lightsaber combat, holding the blade pointed toward the ground by the strong side hand, with the off side hand riding loosely on the weapon's pommel. He moved the blade in a triangular pattern that effectively warded the lower two-thirds of his body from attack. With this unique style, he could deliver lightning-fast slashes and ripostes that could easily split an opponent from groin to neck, while also rapidly rotating upwards to block overhead strikes.[1]

Banks Loosening Mortgage Lending Standards
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The decline in mortgage activity in the United States continued in January and big banks, including Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) are responding by lowering their underwriting standards.
The Mortgage Bankers Association projects that originations of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the U.S. will decline to $1.116 trillion in 2014 from an estimated $1.755 trillion during 2013, with the wave of refinancing slowing as long-term interest rates have risen.
According to a preliminary estimate from Inside Mortgage Finance, the issuance of single-family mortgage-backed securities by Fannie Mae (FNMA), Freddie Mac (FMCC) and Ginnie Mae totaled $67.8 billion during January. That's down 10% from December and is also the lowest figure since January 2009.
Major lenders are making adjustments. Wells Fargo has lowered the minimum FICO score for borrowers applying for loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration to 600 from 640. JPMorgan Chase "plans to lower LTV standards in certain markets for both jumbos and conforming mortgages to portfolio on balance sheet," Deutcshe Bank analyst Dave Rochester wrote in a note to clients on Tuesday.LTV stands for loan-to-value ratio. "Conforming" means a one-to-four family mortgage loan that adheres to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae and or Freddie Mac, and can therefore be quickly sold to one of those government-sponsored enterprises. It is very important for lenders to have the option of selling the majority of their newly originated fixed-rate mortgage loans, in order to get the interest-rate risk off the books and free-up liquidity to make more loans. The limit for a conforming loan being sold to Fannie or Freddie is $417,000, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates Fannie and Freddie, can adjust the conforming limit from time to time. A jumbo mortgage loan is one that exceeds the conforming limit, and therefore can't be sold to Fannie or Freddie. These loans tend to be underwritten with tight credit standards, since they are more difficult to sell. The actions being taken by Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase could signal a major change in the U.S. mortgage market at all levels, following years of very tight credit standards. "We have long argued that in the absence of robust refinancing volumes, banks are likely to go down the credit spectrum with respect to borrowers in order to support purchase origination activity," FBR analyst Paul Miller wrote in a client note on Tuesday. "With the largest player [Wells Fargo] in the mortgage market now originating FHA product to non-super prime borrowers, we believe the wall has begun to come down, and more large originators are likely to open their credit boxes. If lenders are successful in breaking back into the low-FICO FHA market, it will support increased origination volumes going forward," added Miller. Miller also wrote that his estimate for $1.3 trillion in mortgage originations for 2014, which exceeds the MBA's estimate by 16%, "could even prove conservative." If Miller's expectations are borne out, many banks could see positive earnings surprises this year, which could push earnings estimates higher, supporting higher stock prices. O'Connor expects loan growth for large-cap banks "to accelerate to 4-5% in 2014 and 6% in 2015 vs. 3% in 2013," reflecting a strengthening economy and lower credit standards. However, a decline in credit spreads over bench marks, such as the federal funds rate, "could likely offset some if not all of the benefit of stronger loan growth," according to O'Connor, meaning the banks may not see much of an earnings boost from higher origination numbers. Either way, the lowering of underwriting standards could make for quite a boost for the residential real estate market this year. -- Written by Philip van Doorn in Jupiter, Fla. >Contact by Email.

Pagan Music Project: Risky Material From the Forbidden Library
Learn how Classical Music harbors subliminal and not-so subliminal Pagan messages.
The Initiation
Hi folks! My name is Candice Larrivee, my internet handle is Amarfa, and I am a music nerd. I am working my way through college to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Music, with a concentration in Voice. Music school is hard work, and I was having trouble trying to integrate a daily prayer routine into my hectic schedule of full time work and full time college. I came up with a way to include my spirituality in a way that wouldn't sacrifice my school work. I decided to approach music history from the point of view of a Pagan, and I have found so much that I want to share with the world!
First, though, I've got to say that I'll be speaking from a technical point of view; this blog is, after all, in the Pagan Studies category here on PaganSquare. Second, I think academia should be written in an accessible style with humorous metaphor that gets the point across by being simultaneously entertaining and factual. Third, I'm in the process of developing a website that when it goes live, it will be groundbreaking in its approach and what it encompasses: that Classical Music is more Pagan than anyone truly realizes at this point in time, and this blog will be a shameless plug and shameless resource when that happens.
So, what is "Risky Material: Pagan Music Project," and why was it named that way? Risky Material was originally the title for an Honors Project that I wanted to work on. While the project fell by the wayside, my interest in it never waned. Truth be told, my ideas are too big for a 50 page paper. I want to trace the evolution of Pagan Music from the earliest archaeological finds up into the modern day, in a scholarly hunt for interesting facts, but through Classical Music. It was named "Risky Material" because I know and expect the findings of the project to be against the grain of academic trend, and I know and expect that the word "Pagan" will undoubtedly relegate my research to a 'fringe' category.
I think that one of the best things I can do to increase the visibility of Classical Music while promoting my own Pagan beliefs to sympathetic listeners is to include YouTube and web references to the pieces I'll be speaking of. Yes, it will be a review of sorts, but a Pagan exegesis of classical music tradition in its intent.
As a reader, this first post is your initiation into the world of Pagan Classical Music. As an example of what I'll be writing about, I choose for you to listen to and consider "Prelude a l'apres-midi d'une faune" by Claude Debussy. Inspired by and based upon a poem by Stephane Mallarme, ( Afternoon of a faun) "Prelude" is at first, a piece of what's called "program music" and at second, a symphonic tone-poem.
Program music is instrumental symphony orchestra with no singers, that nonetheless is specifically crafted with a story to tell. As can be inferred, Debussy was so enamored of Mallarme's word-poem that he wrote a tone-poem as a musical answer to it.
In the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, a faun was a politically softened way of referring to a satyr. The satyr plays the flute in the dusky afternoon, chasing nude nymphs and mating with them. The flutes and wind instruments are the lead instruments (as one would have lead guitar in a band, for example) directly as a result of the instrument the faun plays in the poem to attract the nymphs to him. Nymphs, of course, being the satyr's female sexual counterpart. Try to imagine what lines in the poem that the music reminds you of, because this was the intent of Debussy's composition. In my next post, I'll continue with Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun in much more detail, and give you some history behind Debussy, Mallarme', and the blooming occult climate in Paris at the turn of the 19th into the 20th century. This is just a taste of what is to come! Stay tuned!

Normally Aspirated '68 Mustang Runs 10s
Phillip Ferrini
The Mustang Source
If there's a sure way to earn respect in the muscle car community it's by building a fast naturally aspirated car. Why? Because it ain't easy! And this 1968 Mustang is certainly deserving of some healthy respect thanks to 10.30s @ 130 mph without the aide of nitrous or a power adder! Although little is known about the killer car (if you have any info please share) we do know the automatic equipped classic is damn fast. Deep 10s on motor?! Yes please!

when can we expect the first development diary?
I love reading them!!!
when can we expect the first development diary?
I love reading them!!!
Could be great if the planes ability at night were serverly hampered. specially over open waters.
even some str. loss from landing in the dark on carriers maybe even airfields.
would make handeling aircraft carrier a little mre difficult but could add option for no night flight? maybe?
would do wonders for navel battles I think.
<iframe src="http://www.gamersgate.com/ggtag/2061" width="225" height="198" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" title="GG Tag"></iframe>
Looking very good its on my to get list
As I said, I realize this is tricky, but this is a paid expansion and I am sure the brilliant people at Paradox can find a way to do this, if they can afford the development time.
Top 5 wish list:
1) Make DOWs and naval combats default pop-up messages. Add a separate air vs. naval bmbing pop-up message.
2) Upgradable Soviet Guards (and elite MEC+ARM units)
3) Limit GOI's
4) Improve forts, engineer construction missions to get in line with the rest of the detail in the game.
5) Dissent/threat hit for refusing trade of surplus resources when one/both of the parties are at peace to avoid resource starving pre-war strategies in MP.
How about some cost in officers for demoting/promoting? Some slight number. Just to make it cost something.
I like it, although this number should definitely be moddable. Temporary penalties would be good in this case, because they don't affect your OOB-building during peacetime, but a change of commander becomes a strategic choice during wartime.like operating at -2 skill level for 6 months at their new rank fx?
"Han va vrång på judebolsjevismen men grät otröstlit när Stalin dog 53. - Han gav dom jävlarna va dom tålde, snyfta han."

aircraft to operate well at night should have to research the advanced tech on air radar.
This tech should be fleshed out a bit more and split up into a couple techs inc night fighters
and night bombing
Hypothetically, you could reduce that night penalty to nothing if you could afford to research enough air search RADAR enough ahead of time (level 5 would be at 1946 techs I think). That's pretty damn good for WWII techs.
Even better, navigation RADAR gives all aircraft that research it better detection against all surface targets. CAGs and NAVs with navigation RADAR are really good at finding enemy ships. You aren't hiding your ships from CAGs or NAVs with RADAR, and night time ain't going to save you, either.
How much more impact should RADAR techs have on night fighting?
All Hail Him,
The Secret Master
Note: If I write a post in this hideous color, I am speaking as a Demi-Moderator. Paying attention is strongly advised.
They should fix the airbattles (stacking etc.). Please make the fleets mergeable.
There is a good thread about air combat here. I think that suggestions should be posted there.They should fix the airbattles (stacking etc.). Please make the fleets mergeable.
You can merge as many fleets as you want, unless you meant "air fleets"?
Night bombing should be a doctrine that the AI would follow in certain circumstances (the
UK and Germany in WW2 pounding each other comes to mind). Right now the Ai will use
day/night it doesn't matter to attack. My point being that if the AI cannot provide fighter
escort to pound at daytime it would switch to night due to losses (which did occur and why
night bombing was used). its not a techish issue more than how the game handles it. right
now if you want to conduct or have your allies conduct night strategic bombing you cannot
unless you manually assign your own and you cannot 'encourage' you allies to stop daylight
raids when their bombers should be getting slaughtered. Also a subtype of aircraft would be
nightfighters. A nice immersion thing as generally you would not be able to simply assign 10
airgroups randomly to night missions in real life (folks bump into each other in the dark). I am
just suggesting that a way be found to adapt this into the game where the Ai will follow it as
a national doctrine and not hogepodge it as it does now.
How about some delay for leaders taking place, as in AOD? Makes much more sense, and as is now, you could go for micro-management hell to put your best leaders in almost every single offensive around the globe. This would also mean that promoting/demoting occurs less often, as it would make the leaders useless for some time. The amount of time required would be really important, and as such should be moddable.

I could also see a pop-up each time a new skill level is reached for a general. As with all pop-ups it can be turned off for those who do not care. For my own part I care a lot about this and pet the generals more than needed from a pure efficiency standpoint.

Dear Lyttelton, Malaya
We must have a plan. Secondly we must have a man.
When we have a plan and a man, we shall succeed: otherwise not.
Yours sincerely , Montgomery (F.M.)

Family members have hunted this land since the early 1900s and helped introduce pheasants to this part of South Dakota at the turn of the century. Hunt Pheasant & Waterfowl on over 20,000 acres of private farmland, including 6 miles of river front on the James River. We are in the Central Flyway and our property abuts the 28,000 acre Sand Lake Refuge. We have pheasant, dove, duck, geese and Tundra swan, that feed, water and rest on our properties.Our guides have been hunters all their lives and grew up in the area. We train all our own dogs. We have wirehair, shorthair, & labs. Hunters are welcome to bring their own dogs. Fly into Aberdeen on Northwest Airlines. We will be there to greet you and drive you to the lodge. If you are driving, the lodge is located on Highway 10 about three-quarters of a mile east of the junction of Highway 37.The key to a successful hunt is to start early. There is a limited number of out of state waterfowl licenses available and they sell out early. Check the newsletter for more specific information on licensing. South Dakota is a popular hunting destination and the airline books up early.

Thoughts on Bio-Pharma Investor Sentiment Going Into 2013
Investors expect next year to be a "stock picker's market," a term that always initially strikes me as tautological but simply suggests the biotech sector may be directionless or overly volatile. I agree, but would add my view that the market will increasingly reward only true medical innovation going forward.
Sarepta Therapeutics' (SRPT) eteplirsen and GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) drisapersen, two novel drug candidates to treat Duchene muscular dystrophy (DMD), are good examples of the kind of products that will justify sustainable premium pricing. In contrast, the global commercial environment will likely grow increasingly difficult for products with either a modest long-term clinical benefit (Arena and Vivus' weight loss drugs) or impending competition and unclear cost-adjusted value ( Edwards Lifesciences'm (EW) transcatheter heart valve technology).
Memorial Sloan-Kettering's refusal to use Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' (REGN) oncology drug Zaltrap because of its high cost strikes me as a dark cloud on the horizon. As a fundamentals-based healthcare investor, I consider pushback against flagrantly unjustified drug pricing to be a positive. Generalist investors, however, might quickly become extremely concerned if drug-pricing power seems unsustainable.
Cost pressures on the healthcare system will invariably increase over time. Eventually, I think these dynamics will force more widespread adoption of cost-effectiveness analysis such as the roughly $50,000 Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) threshold used by the U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).Company executives always complain that increased use of cost-effectiveness analyses will quash innovation. I call shenanigans. No other segment of the economy benefits from annual "inflation driven" price hikes in perpetuity for a stagnant product, yet innovation abounds. It's becoming increasingly clear that the salad days of healthcare pricing are over and executives need to adjust accordingly. Oaktree Capital Chairman Howard Marks frequently reminds investors of his favorite adage: Never forget the six-foot tall man who drowned crossing the river that was five feet deep on average. This cautious tone feels especially relevant in healthcare as we head into 2013. Sadeghi has no positions in stocks mentioned in this column.
