Well if you don't know you should. Visa has launched its IPO and the stock is on the market. First day $44.00 to start and at the end of the day $56.50 and that is just the beginning. Mastercard launched last year at $39.00 a share and it stands at over $200.00 a share. It's not everyday that you can get in on the ground floor of the big daddy business but here is your chance. Visa is the power house in the credit card world and is just plain fat in cash. It lives on transactions all over the world from Debit and Credit cards for gas to groceries, paying bills and purchases online Visa will only grow as we move to a cashless society. Keep your eye on this stock it won't be in double digits for very long Visa will exceed Mastercard in the next 6 months to year if not sooner.
i agree, this will go to 390 or more. This is the future of money and remember the Olympic games are taking place in China, Visa has a big stake in the games.
I Agree this is a must have in the current market and if mastercard jumped that high visa is sure to exceed being that they are a bigger company. They Nature of there business should also help since they are not credit issurs rather credit prossesors the credit crunch of current should not effect there bottom line
I agree with the comments made so far, especially the comparisons with MA. V may get a flat tire or two down the road, but as the largest plastic card issuer in the world (I believe), it has miles to go before it sleeps. The downside risk appears neglible. The upside potential is beyond the horizon. This is one to put in the vault.
Ground floor? It already has a $25 BILLION market Cap!
"Keep your eye on this stock it won't be in double digits for very long Visa will exceed Mastercard in the next 6 months to year if not sooner."... Don't hold your breath. You do understand just how many more shares of Visa exist in comparison to Mastercard, yes? If you hadn't noticed, you may just want to check. Let's not get carried away with these overzealous predictions.
I really love a good debate. Everyone makes really good points. (All visa does is simply transfer money on sales from one bank to another ... wow ... surely smart retailers will learn that they can cut visa out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I work at one of the largest retailers in the world and we do have a card to work around fees of credit card companies, but it is not retailers who dictate what consumers use it is consumers and until the consumer can use a oh say a Macy's card or a Best Buy card at every place a consumer spends money to pay for products and services. Visa, Mastercard and the like aren't going anywhere and as far as loose banks not caring, Oh I think they would care. How far would any bank have gotten, even Bank of America or J.P. Morgan Chase, without the link of Visa to loan the money to consumers to get there interest rate fees. That link might get replaced but it won't be done by retailers it will need to come from the banks themselves who for now even use Visa and Mastercard on their own debit cards. (You do understand just how many more shares of Visa exist in comparison to Mastercard, yes? If you hadn't noticed, you may just want to check)You are right to say over zealous as I have reread my pitch 6 months to a year may not be enough time but Visa will over take mastercards ground after short sighted investors make there profits from selling there 44 at what is around 61.00 dollar shares because of there fear Visa will crash and burn take it now mentality. Yes I do know how many shares exist and i also know that Visa is worth twice the income of Mastercard as a company. All in all just as in any stock there are risks and Visa is no different, but the bottom line is what they will be measured by, even after they weather the litegation storms of how they have done business. This company is run smart and profitable with a strong bottom line and will be what other Credit Card companies are measured by which they already have been doing before they went public.
Please excuse the typos, lol. (There) being meant to be (their) in my reply. Spell check needs to be on this forum,lol. Sorry guys.
Sorry for the typos, lol. (there) was to be (their). Spell check needs to be here,lol. Sorry guys.:)
Visas IPO was made by all the banks that made it go public so they can get their money back from their credit losses. Watch them start selling soon enough
do you understand market at all?you do NOT compare companies by a share price but by a market value...Mastercard was $39 at IPO but it was a 6 billion $ worth company. now at more than $200/share it is a 30 billion $ one.V at $65 is already a 50 (FIFTY) billion $$$ company with high P/E and much less potential to grow than MA had right after its IPO.
The market cap for Visa vs. Mastercard is a good bear argument, albeit I think Visa has a larger market share.Either way, its clear this stock is heading up and it is going to be hot for a while. Initial investors will probably get at least a double out of it.
All the investors that missed out on the MC IPO knew not to miss out on the Visa IPO and they jumped right away on the stock sending the price up immediately. This does lead to the arguement that the stock has become overpriced. Visa though has a much larger market cap and a huge market share over MC, Amex, and Discover. Banks are moving to the practice of charging a fee to a customer for using Visa debit cards as debit transactions (which generally cost retailers less) instead of credit transactions, thus encouraging them to make these credit transactions where Visa rakes in fees. Visa before it's IPO had no issues making money either. Look for the stock to rise again when their quarter results post on the 28th. The stock might see a little resistance to the 100$ mark if the consumer spending outlook turns worse, but otherwise expect the stock to steadily climb for the next year or so.
I agree with you on your blog statements. Visa will exceed Mastercard, I'm thinking about the same time frame under 6 months. Excellant Pick!
Way to go, withoutlimits! That was beautifully concise. I want to ask everyone: don't you think Philip Morris International (PM) is more like Mastercard, considering the market pessimism, doubt, and "ick factor" surrounding its IPO? MA made people a bundle not because all credit card companies are great stocks to buy (look at AXP over the last few of years), but because MA was shrouded in doubt. I will be surprised if V outperforms PM from today (Apr 28, 2008) through the next 1-5 years.
return on share price is the bottom line who cares about the market
I just don't understand the way you value this... comparing stock prices is a waste of time and energy.MA is trading at about 30 times earnings and Visa is currently at 43 times or so... Why would Visa demand a premium to MA valuation? I think MA has a bigger international presence...
Some of the comments on this topic are hilarious. I bought V with real money and have already doubled my money. If you read the boards at Yahoo!, NY Times, and other sites there were so many people who kept saying "Visa is just riding the coattails of the IPO hype it'll dip back into the IPO pricing. Well, I'm pretty sure that hasn't happened. These are also the same people who said that Visa would never break $70 and would you look at that, it did. I sometimes wonder about the IQ of some of the posters here because either they don't do research or like arguing stupid points for the sake of arguing. Firstly, retailers really can't cut out Visa because Visa has partnered with most major banks to sponsor the plastic you use. For instance the Nordstrom's Card I have is a Visa, so every time I use my card Visa gets a cut. The reason why retailer's can't realistically cut out the consumer is because so many people already use Visa and lets say a Macy's actually does issue its own card it would need to in essence form its own credit card company to have that card accepted anywhere besides its store. In others words, thats never going to happen. Also, the fundamentals of MA and V are the same they process transactions and take a fee so there's not going to be a crash and burn once people see the fundamentals because we already know that Visa is better run and better at what it does than Mastercard.I agree that Visa may not be going to Mastercard's level in share price anytime soon but I do not doubt that it will be in the $100s in the near future. Yes, it does have some faults, such as the lawsuits and high number of outstanding shares, but this is as close to a sure thing as you can get in the stock market. It is very well run and will only increase due to cost cutting and increased margins. There's a reason why this was the biggest IPO ever and thats because Visa is a great company with market dominance and room to grow. Here's a quote from CNN Money, "The Nilson Report projects that paper-free payments will account for 70% of all payments by 2010 and that 56% of sales will be conducted via credit and debit cards from the current 40% or so. Visa, with its iconic brand, is poised to capture much of that growth. Morningstar estimates that Visa's total dollar volume will grow at a double-digit rate for the near future."Here's another interesting quote that really hammers home the point, "in 2006, Visa processed 44 billion transactions, or 45% more than the number processed by its three biggest competitors combined -- MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Total value of Visa transactions processed in the past fiscal year: $3.5 trillion. So, it is the market leader by far with and the fact that more people than ever are paying with plastic makes this a bearish stock? I don't see any logic in that argument at all and the people that write those negative comments are those who have not done due diligence or didn't buy when they should have but considering that the stock still has room to and will grow I wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone to buy. Apparently, Goldman Sachs and Reuters research also do too according to my brokerage. So, please critique the stock all you want but try to at least present a decent argument and theres one thing you can't argue with and thats the return so far, and as stated before I see no reason for that to not continue to be the case. If you don't like the stock, thats great, its more money for shareholders like me.
Why do some stocks with similar P/E and market caps trade so differently, in volume and in price? Desirability. Visa simply has 'charisma' to investors. It's numbers are strong all across the boards. People just want to own this stock and it has momentum. Visa will blow away the S&P500 for a long, long time...
Whats primarily driving the price up now is that major institutions are snapping this up at a constant rate and holding. And with the FINANCIAL sector looking putrid thru 2008 and possible a good portion of 2009, VISA is being snapped up by the millions of shares every week to fund holders and what not because they NEED a good financial player and VISA fills the bill nicely. Just peek in at the number of major holders, it goes up every day, every week substantially along woith the number of MILLIONS of shares held and they are not about to ROTATE out of VISA any time soon. What would they buy? Beaten up Washington Mutual who is still going to get ripped the rest of the year hiding more losses? Citigroup? They too have more losses to come.It is a safe play on that info alone. It recently found a new floor in the low $80s after testing the $90 mark and look for a breakout soon above $90. Insider just snapped up shares in the low $80's. Yes it may be overvalued but throw that out the window because it is generating cash (lots of cash), growing by very good numbers and thats good enough for now for the major funds players. Think John Q. Fundmaster is going to say tomorrow, "Gee, Visa has a high PE and is overrated , think I'll dump it." nope they move in herds and right now the grass is lush and green and all the major players are saying, hmm that VISA patch of grass looks nice and green compared to my crappy Citigroup holding." Think I'll go take a few bites.Also I don't think the PE is outta line anyway. The world IS moving to PLASTIC! NOTHING will stop that! IT WILL HAPPEN AS SURE AS THE SUN COMES UP. Nothing short of the Apocalypse will stop it. And MOST of the world STILL DOES NOT use plastic.

Driven by a desire to leave behind an unstable family life and be independent, Sabrina Canela decided early on that education would lead her to her goals.
So the summer prior to senior year at Mountain View High School, the Mesa 17-year-old researched scholarships, colleges around the country and what it would take to get in and get school paid for.
Her success is clear: Sabrina was offered $1.3 million in tuition assistance - none of which has to be paid back - from scholarships from the 11 colleges she was accepted into and private scholarships and federal grants.
Now, she's ready to fulfill her dreams.
"I knew if I did well in school I could get money for college and I knew that if I didn't get scholarships, I wouldn't be able to go," she said this week, preparing to visit her mom out of state. "I didn't want to be in the cycle of poverty my family has been trying to get out of. Whether we were poor or (it was) an idea constructed in my mind, I knew I didn't want to be part of that. I worked hard in school to not only get into college, but get college paid for. That's what drove me."
Sabrina currently lives with her dad, stepmom, sister and two half siblings. Her father immigrated to the United States from Mexico about 20 years ago and speaks some English. Sabrina's parents met in California, where her mom lived at the time, and moved to Arizona where Sabrina was born.
By the time Sabrina was 2, she was bilingual. Her parents are now divorced. Her dad works as a grounds keeper for a company in Tempe, which also offered Sabrina a scholarship for college.
In August, Sabrina will leave for Claremont McKenna College in southern California, making her the first in the family to attend college. She plans to enter a five-year program where she'll complete bachelor's degrees in environmental science and education and a master's degree in policy planning.
Sabrina's senior year of school included seven classes, four of which were Advanced Placement. She received As in all of them except AP physics, in which she got a B. Her final grade point average was 4.3.
She also found time in high school to earn a varsity letter in debate four years in a row and to volunteer for a number of groups, from tutoring students in English and Spanish to coordinating carnivals at an elementary school and organizing the Red Cross Christmas Angels program at school.
Lisa Creaser, Sabrina's Advanced Placement English teacher her junior year at Mountain View, described the ambitious teen as "driven." Creaser's course prepares students to take the AP exam, which can qualify for college credit.
"One thing that made her stand out is she knew from the beginning of the year she had to work hard. She knew from the day she walked into my door in August that she had to work consistently. She never had to play catch up. She was always right on or ahead," Creaser said.
Sabrina was also a willing participant during class discussions.
"She was never afraid to take risks. In class discussion she was never afraid to put herself out there and take a somewhat educated guess when we looked at pieces, essays and examples of nonfiction," Creaser said. If Sabrina's comments or answers were wrong, Creaser would correct her. "She ate that up so she wouldn't make that mistake."
Sabrina performed well on the AP exam for English composition, as well as other AP exams. She is negotiating with her college to receive the maximum allowed transfer credit before she even steps on to campus as a student.
"I have such large dreams for life," Sabrina said. "I intend on joining Peace Corps after college and start a project that allows me to go around and build sustainable schools in impoverished areas, not just outside the country but inside the country. I want to help impoverished areas in general.
"I understand the cycle people go through and the frustration that young people become a part of because they feel money will enslave them for the rest of their lives."

A lawyer from Hinsdale is entering the race for Illinois secretary of state.
Mike Webster had originally planned on being the Republican challenger for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, but says party leaders persuaded him instead to challenge longtime Secretary of State Jesse White.
Webster believes there's enough that he can characterize as scandals involving White that Illinois voters will be looking for a change. "No individual, in my opinion, is an institution," Webster said.

Braves scout Stu Cann
On a recent Saturday Morning Sports Show, host Tom Conn talked to Stu Cann, a Midwest scout for MLB's Atlanta Braves, about what baseball scouting is like:
On a recent Saturday Morning Sports Show, host Tom Conn talked to Stu Cann, a Midwest scout for MLB's Atlanta Braves, about what baseball scouting is like:
On Sunday July 1, Amanda Croix, a swimming star at Bradley-Bourbonnais High and Carthage College, competed in the U.S. Olympic Team Women's Swimming Trials in Omaha, Nebraska. She finished the 50-meter freestyle preliminaries in 26.59 seconds, putting her in a tie for 105th place — out of 154 swimmers who began the day. Her time was just 1.01 seconds behind the 16th and final qualifying spot of the semifinals, also held Sunday.
A 2011 graduate of Carthage College, Croix became the school's first swimmer to win an NCAA Division III championship when she won the 50-yard freestyle as a junior in 2010. The 24-year-old former Bradley resident had a productive career at the Kenosha, Wis., school. She was an All-American 13 times (top eight finishes at the national meet) and was named the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Swimmer of the Year three times. Last season, Croix worked as an assistant coach for the Army swimming team at West Point, N.Y. She will return to that position this fall.
Former Olivet Nazarene University Tiger Mark Hollis competed for a spot on the U.S. pole-vaulting team June 28 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, failing to clear 18 feet-9.25 inches, which would have won him the national championship, and also put him given him a trip to the London Olympics. Hollis ended up finishing 5th. He cleared 18-4.5 on his third and final attempt at the height. Hollis passed when the bar moved to 18-7.25, the eventual winning height. He elected to jump at 18-9.25, which was the Olympic "A" standard height necessary to make the team.
Kankakee resident Matt Gentry did qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London by winning the 74-kilogram freestyle wrestling gold medal for Canada in the Pan American Olympic Qualifier Sunday in Orlando, Fla. back in March. The key match for Gentry was a narrow semifinal victory over Cuba's Yunierki Blanco, against whom Gentry was 0-2 lifetime entering the match. Gentry then earned gold with a dominating victory over Puerto Rico's Francisco Soler.
This is the second appearance in an Olympic Games for Gentry, a native of Oregon with Canadian heritage.
Kankakee County Board member Jim Vickery has a grandson, John Mann, who will be competing as a member of the 13-man USA water polo team. Mann was one of 2 alternates on the Beijing Olympic team in 2008. In college, he was the 2006 national player of the year and a 3-time first-team All-American at California.
The Summer Olympics will run July 28 - August 12 in London
Monday, June 18, the 2012 River Valley Senior Bowl was played at Ward Field on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University, after a weather postponement on June 16. The North and South teams battled to a 23-23 tie. WGFA's Herb Glasgow explains:
Recently, WGFA's Tom Conn talked with Anthony Videka, who was promoted from Assistant Coach to Head Coach of the Watseka Warriors boys basketball team.

High exposure to RE loans; expect rating agencies to get this one a two notch downgrade soon - seller around $9
Spot on as vindicated in today's earnings announcement and the double downgrade by S&P. Company says it has record amounts of liquidity and all is well. But the markdowns and loss provisions continue. Capital ratios likely to need augmentation. We've seen this before. The financial company denying it will need capital and then going to the market for capital in a matter of weeks. When will the charades end on these companies? Quite an embarrassment to the fed and Geitner.
dear tenmiles - i will take a billion shares around $9. I bought mine at $8.99 and $10.24. just a few thousand. maybe they were yours. please sell me some more. t1gallery

Persistent record-setting low temperatures across much of the United States are making this a tough winter for many families. Households face higher heating bills as prices for heating fuels continue to increase with rising demand sparked by the cold. Price increases for liquid propane have been significant. The Department of Energy estimates that 6 million households, mostly in the Midwest and Northeast, use propane as their primary source of heating fuel. Low inventories and high demand for the fuel have …

Americans rate Congress below most scourges, polls regularly show. But does the public actually know what Congress is doing? Only a small percentage of legislation makes it to the Senate and House floors, where insomniacs can stay glued to the proceedings on C-SPAN. But these days, it's a lot easier than it used to be to track bills of interest through the legislative process. The granddaddy of legislative access is named, fittingly, after the guy who created the Library of …

ADTRAN Bluesocket Speeds The Adoption Of Multi-Tenant, Cloud-Based Services
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of cloud connectivity, enterprise communications and virtual mobility solutions, today announced multi-tenancy capabilities integrated into the Bluesocket® virtual Wireless LAN (vWLAN®) solution, ADTRAN's network virtualization solution for wireless LAN (WLAN). This initial release is targeted for managed service and solution providers who require the operational flexibility to support multiple customers within a single virtualized controller. With the ever-increasing demand for cloud-based wireless LAN services, vWLAN enhanced with multi-tenancy features delivers a greatly improved method to deploy and differentiate hosted WLAN offerings.
ADTRAN's vWLAN is a hypervisor-based WLAN that enables the delivery of powerful cloud services. Leveraging the benefits of network virtualization and a distributed data plane, vWLAN frees the WLAN from the local area network. No longer does the control and management of the WLAN have to be on the same LAN as the access points, instead, user control and device management resides in the cloud. Success in cloud-services depends on operational agility. vWLAN's multi-tenancy capability, combined with network virtualization, gives managed service providers the ability to quickly create a hosted WLAN and respond to customer demands.
With typical hardware-based controller architecture, service providers looking to deliver hosted or managed cloud-based WLAN services face very expensive start-up costs and operational constraints. With conventional WLAN systems, guaranteeing true tenant isolation requires dedicated, isolated hardware which further increases the overall implementation cost and erodes profit margins. ADTRAN's vWLAN offering solves these challenges by delivering a software-based control and management solution that can be sub-divided such that multiple tenants can securely occupy a single virtual instance.
"The challenge for service providers, including MSPs, today are how to cost-effectively scale their offerings when every customer must be treated the same in terms of access, priorities and service assurance," said Mike Sapien, principal analyst at Ovum. "ADTRAN's Bluesocket multi-tenant solution tackles this issue by enabling service providers to configure each customer on the virtual Wireless LAN independently of any others, whether this customer is in a shared campus environment, independent department by department separation or another geographic region."

Lujan Grisham wins hotly contested CD-1 primary

Bernalillo County Commissioner Michelle Lujan Grisham will represent the Democratic Party in November's election for the state's first Congressional district.
Lujan Grisham edged out Eric Greigo and Martin Chavez. She held a solid lead for most of the night and never relinquished it.
"Honestly, I really think it was about a message that made sense. We stayed clear about jobs, we were clear about the economy, we were clear about being fair to working families who were really struggling," Lujan Grisham said.
She will face Republican Janice Arnold Jones in the general election, who ran unopposed in the GOP Primary.

The name that struck fear into the hearts of Major League batters for 18 years will soon hang on a street sign outside Yankee Stadium.
On Monday, River Avenue at 161st Street in the Bronx will be renamed Mariano Rivera Avenue in honor of the retired closing pitcher.
Organizers said it's the start of a campaign to improve the neighborhood around the stadium.
They said Rivera's name carries weight as both a baseball hero and a philanthropist.
"Mariano Rivera has been sort of a beacon for the Hispanic community," said Dr. Cary Goodman of the 161st Street Business Improvement District. "This is a Latino neighborhood predominantly, and so it represents a changing of the guard in the neighborhood, and it also represents a recognition of the fact that the neighborhood and the Yankees are inextricably, you know, knitted together."
Goodman said it's only the second time a New York street has been named for a living baseball player.
The other was Willie Mays Drive in Harlem.

Global Med Technologies(R) Adds Oklahoma Health Center To U.S. Client Base
DENVER, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Global Med Technologies®, Inc. ("Global Med" or the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: GLOB), an international healthcare information technology company, today announced that its Wyndgate Technologies® division has licensed its SafeTrace Tx® transfusion management software to McAlester Regional Health Center ("MRHC") of McAlester, Oklahoma.

It's not much of a spoiler alert to point out that the title character of ABC's Red Widow winds up in (sexy) mourning by the half-hour mark of Sunday's dreary two-hour premiere (9/8c). It's even less of a surprise, given the nature of this most dismal network midseason in recent memory, that these widow's weeds are fashioned from less than sturdy dramatic fabric.

How is it that I find myself here? As a sexologist, a sexuality educator, and sex positive advocate, how is it that I'm dealing with extremely low sexual desire post-pregnancy? When I co-authored Your Orgasmic Pregnancy, never in a million years did I think that I would be one of those women who would have trouble getting back in the saddle post-partum. Never did I truly fathom just how hard it would be to get in the mood when I'm all about my babe.
The last six months have been quite the learning experience both personally and professionally. With sex the farthest thing from my mind, and my level of desire typically close to zero, I've found myself relating to women I've sought to help in a totally different way. I find myself looking at the advice that I, and other sex advisers, have given women with low or no libido over the years, realizing just how flippant and difficult to execute the quick fix solutions have been. If it was so easy to solve, many women wouldn't be dealing with this situation!!

One Week Later, Investigation Continues in Teen's Murder
For the first time since 13-year-old Jessica Funk-Haslam was found dead in Rosemont Community Park, Tuesday, March 5, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is indicating this murder case is, "solvable."
As detectives close in on who killed the 8th grade Albert Einstein Middle School student, there is a lot they cannot make public.
Asked whether the young murder victim put up a fight and whether the public should be on the lookout for someone with scratches or scars, the Sheriff's Department indicated it wasn't ready to release that type of information.
"We're just not ready to build a profile, if you will, of what took place," said Deputy Jason Ramos.
Investigators are now getting help from a criminalist with the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office.
"A criminalist is somebody who helps us with, not only the collection of evidence we have so far, but the analysis of it, putting things in perspective, looking at what certain things might mean," said Ramos.
Detectives investigating this case started with very little. There are no surveillance cameras in or near the park where Jessica was found dead inside a dugout. The day her body was discovered it was blustery out and that gusty wind could easily have blown away good, solid evidence.
Since then, investigators have talked to the girl's family, friends and teachers. The coroner has revealed three things happened to Jessica, one of which killed her; blunt force head trauma, a stab wound to the neck and asphyxiation.
If her body held clues as to who killed and when she was killed, detectives aren't revealing that, but they now believe this murder case can and will be solved.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Eagle Materials, producer of basic building products including cement and gypsum wallboard, reported sales of $154.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, up 29% from the same quarter last year.
The sales increase was driven primarily by increased wallboard average net sales prices and increased sales volumes for all of the company's diversified businesses.
Net earnings for the quarter were $13.98 million, up from $807,000 in the prior-year quarter.

Addressing the problem of time-consuming cleanup of drywall finishing projects, CertainTeed Gypsum is rolling out new products in the western United States.
Dust Away Reduced Airborne Dust Drywall Compound and Dust Away Renovation Mud feature innovative technology that reduces the amount of airborne dust generated through sanding by more than 70% compared with standard drywall compound.
The products were originally launched in the Canadian market in 2009.
USG Corp. has announced it will invest $60 million in a strategic partnership with the Zawawi Group of Oman to meet the growing demand for its wallboard products in the Middle East and India. The money will be invested over two years, with the majority in 2012.
The new Non-Penetrating LCD Moisture Meter with Tricolor Bar Graph from General Tools & Instruments offers professionals and DIYers a powerful and affordable tool, according to the New York City-based manufacturer.
The MMD7NP measures the moisture content of hardwood, softwood, drywall, masonry or concrete. It can also detect moisture below the surface of carpets and subflooring; and locating water leaks above ceilings, below floors or behind walls.
USG Corp.'s Sheetrock Ultralight panels are available at Home Depot stores nationwide, according to blog site JetsonGreen.com. The product, first tested in 2010, weighs anywhere from 15 to 24 lbs. less than typical gypsum board, depending on the size. It can be used with a 40% lighter joint compound released in January 2012.
A product linked to the Environmental Protection Agency's lead paint rule has been approved for use on drywall and plaster.
The 3M LeadCheck Swabs, in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP), are now recognized by the EPA for use on drywall and plaster.
The swaps are designed to turn red in the presence of lead and were the first commercially available lead test kit recognized by the EPA for use on painted wood and metal.
A landmark settlement in toxic drywall cases was reached last month, one that may bring relief to thousands of homeowners and put an end to hundreds of state and federal cases filed against insulation manufacturers.
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics said its Green Glue Noiseproofing Compound and Sealant is now available at Menards stores.
Previously, Green Glue products were obtainable only through the Green Glue website or a network of specialty acoustic distributors. Now the products are available for contractors, DIYers and home theater enthusiasts to purchase directly in the building materials section of 232 Menards stores in the Midwest, the company said.
A landmark settlement in toxic drywall cases was reached today, one that may bring relief to thousands of homeowners and put an end to hundreds of state and federal cases filed against insulation manufacturers.
PPG Industries, one of the leading manufacturers of paint and architectural coatings, has released a line of zero-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint for the commercial market. Speedhide, an existing line, will now offer Speedhide zero interior paint as a one-stop solution for contractors, building owners and facility managers looking for durability, affordability and long-lasting performance, according to the company.
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), in its final report on tainted drywall, has issued a set of updated recommendations that may lower the cost of remediation for some homeowners.
The updated remediation guidance is based on studies just completed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on potential long term corrosion effects of problem drywall on gas piping, fire sprinkler heads, and smoke alarms.
Banner Supply Co., the Miami-based drywall distributor, has agreed to pay $53 million to settle a class-action lawsuit claiming it sold defective drywall imported from China. The settlement offer, which is still subject to court approval, will be deposited into an escrow account for plaintiffs who claim their houses need remedial work after being built with toxic drywall.
Banner and its insurers deny any wrongdoing, pointing out that the company never manufactured the drywall it sold or delivered.
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center, a self-described consumer interest group, said it intends to expand its investigations involving toxic or defective imported Chinese-made building products.
In a statement released yesterday, the group claimed the problem of defective drywall deserves more attention from the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission and President Obama. Also, the group raised concern over imported Chinese leather furniture.
USG Corp., a manufacturer of Sheetrock and other building materials, will close eight of its L&W Supply distribution branches by the end of the third quarter, according to an Aug. 25 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Chicago–based company will also shutter its Nevada custom door and frame business.
Centre Lane Partners, a New York-based private equity firm, has become the new owners of The Merit Group, a distributor of paint sundry- and drywall-related products. The company will continue to operate under the current management team and business structure, according to the announcement.
Buffalo Business First has reported that Saint-Gobain Adfors earlier this month began making in New York drywall tape that it used to make in China.
The Albion, N.Y., facility is Saint-Gobain's North American headquarters. The newspaper reported that the cause of the shift in location was a need to better control aesthetics and packaging, which are important purchase factors in the Japanese market, the destination of the products.
An article in the Tampa Tribune reported that a Tampa builder who agreed to move families out of homes built with toxic Chinese drywall and make the necessary repairs has now rescinded the offer.
Liquid Nails Adhesive has launched an acoustical sound sealant (AS-825), an elastic, durable sealant designed to reduce sound transmission in all types of wall systems.
Available alongside Liquid Nails Brand Drywall Adhesive (DWP-24) at building material distributors nationwide, Acoustical Sound Sealant remains flexible, has a very low odor, is VOC compliant and can be cleaned with water.
One of the largest Florida suppliers of tainted drywall has reached a preliminary settlement with a group of plaintiffs, counsels for the parties announced June 15.
The insurers of Banner Supply Co. and its various subsidiaries have agreed to pay $55 million to homeowners in Florida who claim their homes were built with contaminated Chinese drywall.
Mannington Mills, a 96-year-old flooring company headquartered in Salem, N.J., has found a way to incorporate vinyl tile scraps and recycled drywall into its manufacturing process in an effort to generate less waste, according to an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Merit Group, a nationwide distributor of paint sundries that does business as Lancaster and Five Star, has announced the appointment of Mike Smith as its new VP procurement. Smith will succeed Pat Rourke, who served as VP procurement since 2003.
Smith has been in the role of president of Merit Supply, a division of the Merit Group specializing in the automotive aftermarket, for the past 11 years and will continue to oversee this division in his new role. Prior to that, Smith held the positions of VP purchasing and purchasing director from 1992 to 2000.
Allied Building Products, one of the industry's leading distributors of exterior building products, is adding solar panels and accessories to its lineup in a special pro-oriented display. Solar products will have a dedicated area within Allied's Contractor Tool Center, which the company opened on May 12 at its East Rutherford, N.J., headquarters.
Diboll, Texas-based Temple-Inland expanded its GreenGlass family of products to include a tile backer.
GreenGlass features a built-in, moisture-blocking acrylic coating that resists water penetration through its surface, plus a water-resistant gypsum core formulated to include the TemShield Mold Protection System. Faced on both sides with naturally mold- and moisture-resistant fiberglass mats, this combination has been shown to be highly mold-resistant in tests.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued updated "remediation protocol" on March 18 to consumers and contractors dealing with problem drywall.

Make the most of your visit
Posted on: November 13, 2008 at 10:34PMConfused about what to see? There are many good bus tours of the city and we would recommend taking at least one as the first item on your agenda. This way you get a good preview of the city and then can note which places you want to visit in depth and which won't be of interest to you. It saves the time of trying to decide where to go and what to do with so many overwhelming choices. A favorite must-do spot each time we return is Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder at about 1600 N Clark. They do not take reservations and if you arrive during peak dining plan for a good hour wait, but it is well worth it. The flat bread, Greek Salad and 1/2# or 1# pizza in a bowl are great. They also sell their special salad dressing to take home. report a problem

Keep Ekke Shot Glasses in the freezer for a super cool drink. Or keep them in room for an easy cool. Each set of 4 Shot Glasses is hand crafted by Amit Stoneworks in the central Indian city of Agre - famed home of the Taj Mahal - so the talent for high-quality hand worked stone is honestly derived. Amit Stoneworks is ISO certified for its fair labor standards.

Designer: Thea Mehl
Thea Mehl earned her MA in Industrial Design at the University of the Arts, London. Her work focuses on relationships - be they the interplay between two objects, or between the object and user. Mehl drew inspiration from an early age, as a child in her grandfather's wood shop. Among other creative roles, Mehl has served as a Creative Director at Teroforma and currently works with the Norwegian Design Council.View other products by Thea Mehl
Manufacturer: Teroforma
Teroforma: Creating beautiful things with integrity in design, construction and quality.
Teroforma was created in 2006 by Anna and Andrew Hellman, driven by a desire to meet interesting people, see new places and create beautiful things. What they quickly learned was that ensuring their standards for products meant rejecting the allure of mass production. And so, the team embarked on a search for hand-picked designers and true craftsmen who could produce their products with skill and integrity - a search that lead them all over the world . Ultimately their vision emerged of the "right way" to make things in a world of scarce resources. This was a "focus on the quality and integrity of the creative process and the people involved knowing that only then can the finished product ever be considered truly beautiful."
The team at Teroforma has built a very strong idea of the ways that products should be offered to customers - simply, honestly, transparently and with a dedication to quality. They believe that products should be made to outlast their owners. And Teroforma commits that it will always be honest and thoughtful, working hard to surprise and delight its customers with carefully crafted home tools and accents for dining and entertaining.View other products from Teroforma

"A study by Regenstrief Institute and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs investigators provides the first in-depth look at how health care providers react to medication alerts generated by electronic medical record systems. The researchers plan to use this information to improve the design of medication alerts and diminish the phenomenon known as alert fatigue, where providers can become desensitized and may start unintentionally ignoring some important warnings.
For this study, the researchers observed providers as they treated patients to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of medication alerts."

Special lecture on 'Acoustics' held for school students
"The underwater noise levels today are ten times more than they were a few decades ago, which is a serious worry for life on land and water because sustainable ocean space makes way for sustainable land space," said S.K. Bhattacharya, Head, Department of Ocean Engineering, IIT Madras.
He was delivering a special lecture on 'Acoustics' for school students organised by the Tamil Nadu Science and Technology Centre in collaboration with Madras India Regional Chapter of the Acoustical Society of America and Acoustical Foundation here recently.
Listing the various ill-effects of underwater noise pollution on marine mammals, Professor Bhattacharya said that anthropogenic noise due to activities like commercial shipping, Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR) activities and hydrocarbon-related engineering activities contributed a great deal in increasing the noise levels.
Marine mammals exposed to underwater noise pollution suffer from displacement, trauma, stranding, internal injuries, eye haemorrhaging, auditory damage, loss of power of recognition and sometimes even death, he added.
"The marine mammals exposed to Low Frequency Active Sonar (LFAS) above a certain level can sometimes face mass extinction," he said.
The other significant activities detrimental to the sustenance of a healthy marine system, he added, were dredging, drilling and exploration, near shore construction and military activities on the sea.
On the various statutory bodies of seawater regulation, regulatory mechanisms on water and other environmental issues, Professor Bhattacharya said that the ocean taxonomy needed to be documented better.
On the need to incorporate acoustical techniques at the design stage in building cinemas, auditoria and studios, A. Ramachandraiah of the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT-M, said: "You cannot correct bad acoustics of a hall by simply installing speech enforcement systems."
M. Kumaresan, Director, International Research Institute for the Deaf, said that more young minds should get inspired to take up research in fields like acoustics and sound engineering.
H.S. Paul, founder, Acoustical Foundation, urged parents and teachers to encourage children to attend more seminars and conferences on such fields. He also detailed the guidelines to the students for preparing and submitting their projects on acoustics in a competition scheduled by the foundation next month.

Police close intersections enroute to helipad to speed ambulance along.
A 3-year-old boy received major injuries in what appears to have been a tragic accident.
At approximately 10:15 a.m.,
Joseph Geen of Castaic and his 3-year-old son were cleaning a 2006 Dodge Ram truck
at his residence on Silver Oak Trail in Castaic. For an unknown reason, the
parking brake deactivated, causing the truck to roll backwards down the
inclined driveway.
The child, who was standing in the open driver's doorway,
was trapped by the left front wheel and suffered major injuries.
Police blocked intersections on the southbound lanes of The Old Road and northbound lanes of Lake Hughes Road to help an ambulance speed the child to the helipad at the Lower Castaic Lake. The child and one of his parents were airlifted to Children's Hospital, Los Angeles. No word as to his current condition.
Additional details will be posted as they become available.

"Who Knew Math Could Be Entertaining?"
I picked this up because it was featured on the Audible home page and I had a couple of extra credits. I was looking for something different to listen to when walking the dog and waiting in airports. I had taken advanced math in high school, but, to be honest, I only excelled in the courses due to an excellent teacher (Thank you, Mrs. Claybrook), and then I stopped doing any kind of real algebra, trig, or calculus. At this point in my life, my brain stops working as soon as I hear numbers being tossed around.
However, this book dealt with theory and history rather than functions and numbers. In the end, it was a very entertaining listen; chronicling the development of random theory from probability theory. Living in the Vegas area, I found the passages on gambling very engaging and interesting. I'll grant that the subject matter is not one that everyone will embrace, but this "math" book has changed a few notions of this "non-math" person.

3 Different Bearish Views on CRM
Let's review the T3/OP video with Scott and Jill as they walk us through some levels on the charts and the fundamental concerns to the story.
I prefer tackling the downside when speculating on the price of CRM. I know that hope ends up in despair and that CRM is a huff and a puff away from getting crushed as any stock this year has suffered when not performing up to market expectations. Enter into this mix the fact that Oracle (ORCL) and IBM (IBM) are taking the company on in CRM's cloudy business! These are adversaries you do not want!
I have CRM technically positioned for another attempt to test the hands of the CRM longs. In addition, I have lots of new serious company as reflected in the total percent of traders that are now short CRM common stock. That total now exceeds 10% of the CRM float!
Trading at a ludicrous P/E ratio (over 600 but whose counting!) that belongs in the clouds, and not even showing growth to support that price earnings ratio, is one dangerous formula for a stock price disaster in the making. It certainly is a combination of statistics that deserves another round of playing CRM from the controlled risk short side via put options.
That trade is a bearish vertical call spread. This type of trade is normally medium in risk because it is biased (to the downside) as per price direction required for the trade to become profitable. However, due to the short time remaining to expiration, this trade I consider HIGH in risk! This trade is medium in reward potential because it is a hedged spread, thus capping the potential for gains.
Trades: Sell to open 3 CRM November 105 calls at $24.00 and buy to open 3 CRM November 125 calls for $10.00.
The total risk for the spread is $6 per spread. As always, I will monitor the trade on this site in the comments section below.
