media giveth, and the media taketh away. Cursed be the name of
the media.
No Job 1:1
Martha Stewart
has become the most publicized CEO in the world. Unlike most CEO's,
millions of people recognize her name and her face. Even men recognize
her. In the funniest scene in Dave Barry's novel, "Big Trouble,"
a crook hiding on the ground encounters a rare breed of frog,
which then sprays him in the face with a hallucinatory liquid.
The crook then encounters a dog. The dog has the face of Elizabeth
Dole. Problem: Elizabeth Dole's face is not recognizable to most
people. So, in the movie version, we see Martha Stewart's face
attached to the dog.
Mrs. Stewart
is one of those rare CEO's who has been created by the media.
Oprah Winfrey is another. Bill Gates is famous, but he was not
created by the media. Warren Buffett is not a household name.
When her
conviction was announced, it was front-page news. It was lead
story news on the evening TV news and the "Today Show."
Women know who she is, in the same way that they know Oprah. When
Mrs. Stewart hit the judicial brick wall, the whole country heard
the crash.
We are getting
all sorts of messages by way of the media.
- She is
a control freak who lost control.
- She was
greedy, and her greed cost her a fortune.
- The bigger
they are, the harder they fall.
- No one
is immune to the Federal government's long arm.
- Mean
gals finish last.
There is
a far more important message from this incident. The message is
applicable to tens of millions of Americans. This message has
not gotten through and is unlikely to get through.
It is this:
The perceived
capital value of the stock market is an illusion, and that illusion
can be exposed at any time by a seemingly trivial event.
When Martha
Stewart sold her ImClone shares, the capitalized value of her
own company was somewhere in the range of $2 billion. Today, it
is closer to $500 million. Yet there has not been a wave of panic
selling. The reason why we know there has not been a wave of panic
selling because the biggest holder of the shares is Martha Stewart.
She is not selling.
The sell-off
has taken place, in the language of economists, at the margin.
There have been more sellers of shares at the pre-ImClone scandal
price than buyers at that price. So, the price of her stock has
fallen, sale by sale.
Each time
a sale takes place, it establishes a new price, or at least adds
pressure to establish a new price. Each new price for one share
establishes a new price for all of the existing shares. This in
turn establishes a new capitalized value for her company. The
capitalized value of her company is the price of the block of
shares sold most recently multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.
As the bad
news about her future has been released, headline by headline,
the number of shareholders who are willing to accept a lower selling
price increases. But the vast majority of shareholders in her
company are not willing to accept a lower price. They think that
things will turn around. They think that this is the bottom. Headline
by headline, they have been proven wrong. But they still refuse
to sell. So, there has been no panic sell-off.
Which piece
of information would have been more valuable to a portfolio manager
of a large mutual fund located in (say) the Bahamas, who was willing
to break U. S. securities law and operate with inside information,
which is illegal? (If you want to read a book on why it should
not be illegal, read Henry Manne's "Insider Trading and the
Stock Market," which was published in 1966 and which hardly
anyone has read — unfortunately.)
cancer drug has just been turned down by the FDA.
Stewart has just sold her ImClone shares.
There is
no question that the second piece of news would have been more
valuable to anyone with an entrepreneur's abilities. The fund's
manager would know that word would get out fast about ImClone.
He would be unlikely to be able to sell enough shares fast enough
to make any money. But the news about Martha Stewart could have
been easily converted into money. Sell her company short. The
hit to her company would probably be greater than the hit to ImClone:
larger capitalization. No one would know about her illegal action
for weeks. "She is going to get caught eventually."
So, day by day, sell her company short. He would have made a fortune.
The loss
of capitalized value to Martha Stewart's company has been dramatic.
ImClone has bounced back. Hardly anyone got hurt when she sold
her shares of ImClone. That was the point made by Prof. Manne
[MANee] almost four decades ago. The person who acts on inside
information has an information advantage over the handful of people
he sells his shares to, but the vast majority of shareholders
do not suffer from this sale. If they do suffer, it is from the
facts on which the insider was selling his shares. This bad news
would have gotten out anyway. But in the case of shareholders
in Martha Stewart's company, they have been badly hurt by the
prosecution of Mrs. Stewart for something that seemingly had nothing
to do with the company.
Of course,
it had everything to do with her company. She is the company,
in the same way that Oprah is Harpo, Inc. The company's capitalized
value is the expected stream of net income to be produced by her,
discounted by the prevailing rate of interest. The company branded
her. Then she got branded by the government: "convicted criminal."
The government's
prosecutors have tried to send a message to corporate leaders:
"Don't break the law." They sent a much louder message
to the stock market: "Don't expect us to make any legal decision
in terms of its likely effect on capitalized value." The
prosecutors are more interested in scaring senior corporate officers
than they are about scaring investors. Yet they do this officially
in the name of investors.
The number
of people who can say they were harmed by Martha Stewart's sales
of $60,000 of ImClone shares is hardly worth comparing to the
portfolio effects of the government's prosecution of Mrs. Stewart.
If the insider trading law had specified that Mrs. Stewart must
pay double restitution to the people who bought shares from her,
they would be happy. The millions of investors who were holding,
and are still holding, shares in her company would also be happy.
The great
irony is that the insider trading laws do not compensate the supposed
victims of the illegal transaction: those few people who bought
their shares from the insider. Instead, the government imposes
fines on the seller. Then the government pockets the money —
a tiny fraction of the money spent to prosecute the seller. The
victims must then sue the seller in civil court to recover damages.
But mere double restitution will not be enough to compensate the
trial lawyers, who demand one-third of everything collected. (Note:
the Bible specifies double restitution: Exodus 22:4. But the Bible
isn't good enough for the trial lawyers.)
If you think
the American justice system is messed up, you have understood
one of the messages from Martha Stewart. When we call it the criminal
justice system, we have used the correct adjective. When we call
it civil justice, we haven't.
I have said
that there has not been a wave of panic selling. There should
have been. The company's capitalized value has collapsed. The
source of the company's expected stream of net income is going
to jail.
I suppose
I should bewail the loss of $1.5 billion in capitalized value.
On paper, this is what the Martha Stewart affair has cost investors,
of whom Mrs. Stewart is the largest. Investors who had shares
in their retirement portfolios are now going to have to work an
extra month or year or decade to make up for the losses they have
Yet I can't
get too excited about this. Why not? Am I a cold-hearted man?
Can't I see what has happened? Can't I feel their pain?
The answers
are no, yes, and no. No, I am not cold hearted; yes, I can see
what has happened; and no, I cannot feel their pain. That is because
I feel too much pain on behalf of tens of millions of lambs headed
for the slaughter, who are going to feel a lot more pain than
Martha Stewart's investors did. The pain that the Stewart investors
have felt is going to be multiplied across the boards. I will
not be one of them, I hope, but the economic fall-out will be
unavoidable for most Americans. I will get hit by the after-effects.
The disappearance
of $1.5 billion has received little media attention. The media
focus on Martha the control freak, Martha the crook, Martha the
liar, Martha the emotionally distant. What really bugs me is Martha,
the woman who is as old as I am but who looks ten years younger.
But none of this is either here or there in the larger scheme
of things.
What should
be in every discussion of her case is the ease with which $1.5
billion in capitalized value went poof. No muss, hardly any fuss,
and whammo: the wealth disappeared. Or did it? Was it wealth?
Or was it the illusion of wealth?
I think it
was the latter. It was the illusion of wealth created by a stock
market where investors assume that most people will never sell.
"The market always goes up in the long run." Really?
If so, then what has happened to Martha Stewart's shares had better
be an anomaly. The disappearance of all that capital was so easy,
and it happened so quietly, while everyone was discussing Martha
the Whatever, that those who think the stock market always goes
up had better show us why this case really is an anomaly.
Yes, the
company had capitalized one person's income-producing ability.
But didn't the experts know that this was a risk? Didn't they
know that people get old, die, and make other mistakes? Didn't
the mutual fund managers know enough not to buy the shares of
a company that hinges on one person? Of course not. They bought.
They used formulas. "Random walk giveth, and random walk
taketh away."
It did not
take a wave of panic selling to whack the dreams of everyone who
owned shares in her company. All it took was a series of headlines.
These headlines convinced a tiny minority of share owners to sell.
Down, down, down went the price of the marginal shares, the imputed
value of the remaining shares, and the capitalized value the company.
What if there
had been a real panic?
does not take a large number of sellers to collapse the value
of a company." This is the message from Martha Stewart.
The creation
of stock market profits for tens of millions of American families
has been the accomplishment of these factors:
Reserve System money-creation
securities laws that reduce the number of legally eligible investments:
thin markets
investment tactics of mutual fund investors
investment tactics of mutual fund managers
practices that meet the immediate demands of investors and fund
increases in productivity, which were about 30% of the annual
compound growth of share values since 1982
spread of the familiar refrain, "This time, it's different."
my 30% figure may be too high. It's a guesstimate. I
am open to correction.
The illusion
of the stock market's capital value, meaning wealth, is today
universal. Analysts look at Martha Stewart's case and conclude,
"It's an anomaly." Buy why is it an anomaly? Did too
many people buy shares based on the expected net income of one
person? Yes. But they did invest. Nobody warned them of the risk.
Nobody imagined that the company could be hit this badly. If something
is inherently risky, as the investment in one person's brand is,
then why doesn't common sense prevail? It did not prevail. The
portfolio managers blew it.
It took few
sellers to inflict horrendous losses on the investors who decided
not to sell. The buy-and-hold people sat there and did nothing.
The result was a disaster.
People are
looking forward to their retirement. They have great expectations
regarding their future net income. Yet they are paid dividends
that are not much higher than mutual fund expenses. They are as
blind to the implications of this as the investors were who bought
and held shares in Martha Stewart's expected net income stream.
Can't they
see what is coming? No. They know that they cannot live on dividends.
They know that their future income from their stocks will depend
on their ability to sell their shares into that legendary market
that always rises. They do not apply their knowledge of what happened
to Martha Stewart's shares to their own portfolios. They have
not received the message from Martha Stewart. And what is that
message? This:
It does
not take a large number of sellers to collapse the value of
a company.
The perceived
capital value of the stock market is an illusion, and that illusion
can be exposed at any time by a seemingly trivial event.
People believe
what they want to believe. Stock market investors want to believe
that they will be able to live off of their dividends, which are
zero now, plus the capital value of their sold shares. They think
that there will be buyers for their shares when they retire. What
buyers? Most people who own shares own them in their retirement
funds. It is the baby boom generation that was sufficiently future-oriented
to bid up the price of the shares. "Sell!" "To
of investors also believed that the Martha Stewart brand name
was somehow separate from Martha Stewart. They assumed that Martha
Stewart was as permanent as a Kennedy in politics in Massachusetts.
She wasn't.
Be realistic.
As Will Rogers said about stocks: "Buy stocks. They're going
up. But if they don't go up, don't buy u2018em." Or words to
that effect.

Welcome to the Batumi Sea Port area!!!
You may find it as a very nice place to visit in Batumi. Take your time by walking around the port and looking on all of the kind of ships. Here also you may find some restaurants where they are serving fresh caught fish.
Looking to the North on this pano you may see that building of Batumi Sea Port.
Hope you enjoyed the view.
Thanks for coming.
Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.Text by Steve Smith.

Pregnancy Week 2482 Comments
Welcome Guest!
Week 24 fetal development image showing the fetal growth of your baby to date. Medical Illustration Copyright © 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, All rights reserved
The baby is now between 12 and 12 1/2" long and around 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds, and gaining approximately 6 ounces a week. The brain continues in its rapid growth mode and the lungs are maturing. The special cells which produce surfactant are developing. Surfactant is what helps the air sacs inflate, and preemies who struggle with breathing are usually having difficulties because the special cells have not fully developed prior to delivery. The taste buds are getting more sensitive, and baby may even react to a particularly strong taste in Mommy's food. The sweat glands are developing now, as well. The hands are getting more coordinated, as evidenced in more precise thumb-sucking skills. The big news of the week however is that the baby is now officially viable!
Pregnancy Symptoms You May Feel During Week 24
Itchy, itchy, itchy. This point in pregnancy there are often some annoying symptoms popping up. The skin on breasts and belly is really stretching and with that frequently comes an intense itchy sensation. Your palms and soles of your feet may also be red and itchy, due to your pregnancy hormones. Other seemingly random annoyances include a metallic taste in your mouth, and increased saliva. Also, you might be experiencing the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. This won't be caused by the typical repetitive movements of office work, but rather by the pregnancy swelling putting pressure on nerves. This will produce tingling and numbness in your fingers and wrists. You may also be experiencing dryness and sensitivity with your eyes now. Heartburn, which may have plagued you earlier in your pregnancy, might well be back now with a vengeance. Avoid lying down immediately after eating, and eat regular small meals.
Visit With the Obstetrician
Probably in the next few weeks you'll be scheduled for your glucose screening test to check for gestational diabetes. This test is typically done between the 24th and 28th weeks. You will be told to eat and drink normally prior to the test. You'll come into the office and be given a syrupy sweet solution to drink. An hour later a blood sample will be taken to check the blood sugar levels. You'll typically wait at the office for results. A result of 130 - 140 milligrams per deciliter may indicate a high blood sugar level and will require more testing. False positives are fairly common, so even if the test indicates a possibility of gestational diabetes, don't panic just yet. The follow up test is the glucose tolerance test and will yield the needed reliable results. Gestational diabetes is serious, but rather common, and manageable.
Preparing for Baby
This week baby is officially viable, so it's definitely time to get those hospital bags packed! By now you might have started birthing classes or visited the hospital and done a tour. Find out what items they recommend you bring, and which ones they will not allow. Think of the things you will find comfort in-both emotional and physical but be practical at the same time. You won't be bringing in a set of luggage, just a simple bag. Talk to other mothers who have recently given birth to find out what items they couldn't have lived without and which ones they forgot.
Pregnancy Lifestyle
One of those unpleasant side effects of pregnancy hormones is the embarrassing fuzzy brain. Your thinking won't always be at its sharpest during pregnancy, especially as you get into your second trimester. Don't worry about it, it won't be permanent, although honestly it may feel that way for awhile as you adjust to sleep deprivation with a newborn. The best way to deal with this symptom, is with some planning and a good sense of humor. Make lists for things you typically never needed to before. Don't count on remembering that little list of five items at the grocery, write it down. Keep a little pad in your purse to keep other reminders for yourself. Don't get frustrated that you keep walking into a room to get something that you now can't remember. Find a way to laugh it off. It's just hormones, you will not be an airhead permanently.

(Updates with additional soybean oil in last paragraph.)
Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Egypt's state-run Food Industries Holding Co. bought 6,300 metric tons of soybean oil and 23,000 tons of sunflower oil in a tender today, Abdel Sattar Soliman, the company's vice chairman, said.
The company, known as FIHC, paid 7,275 Egyptian pounds ($1,205) a metric ton from Wataneya, for the soybean oil, he said by phone today from Cairo. It also bought 13,000 tons of sunflower oil at $1,179 a ton from Toepfer and 10,000 tons of sunflower oil at $1,185 a ton from Nidera, he said.
FIHC bought an additional 300 tons of soybean oil, bringing the total to 6,300 tons, Abdel Sattar later said.

Coraline 3D Blu-ray Review
Previously available only as an exclusive hardware-tied release, 'Coraline' 3D is now available everywhere. Now with extras!
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, January 13, 2011
So sharp you won't feel a thing.
Kudos to Universal for being one of the first out of the gate to offer a previously-exclusive Blu-ray 3D title for sale at general retail, behind only Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Coraline's wide release debuts with the same stunning 1080p Blu-ray 3D transfer and mesmerizing lossless soundtrack as was found on the aforementioned release, but this time the final product is accompanied by a handful of extra features and a second disc sporting DVD and digital copies of the film. Universal couldn't have chosen a more fitting title for their first ever wide release of a previously-exclusive title; Coraline remains one of the best movies available in 3D both in terms of content and technical presentation. Director Henry Selick's picture is a fantastically dark tale that looks at the twisted line between reality and fantasy, yielding incredible stop-motion animation and an even better high definition 3D presentation. Now with the inclusion of some high quality bonus content -- notably an informative audio commentary track in which Selick discusses not only 3D in general but how it was used to emphasize certain aspects of the film -- the Coraline Blu-ray 3D experience is complete.
Coraline (voiced by Dakota Fanning) is a young girl recently relocated with her parents from Pontiac, Michigan to the Pink Palace Apartments located in a cold and seemingly barren area of the Northwest. Bored with her new surroundings and upset that her parents have already reverted to workaholic mode, she explores the run-down home and discovers a small door that's been covered with wallpaper. She pesters her mother into opening it, only to find a hardened brick wall behind it. A disappointed Coraline dreams that night that through the wall lies her perfect world. There she finds carbon copies of her parents who are in this universe friendlier, happier, and more willing to spend time with their daughter and, best of all, do all they can to cater to her every desire. Their world is brighter and happier, but there's one unmistakable difference: her mother and father in this world have buttons where their eyes should be. It's odd, yes, but Coraline shrugs off the peculiarity as she revels in the joy she's found away from her real life. When Coraline wakes up in her old bed and in the same house as her typically dull mother, father, and existence, she only longs all the more for the world that seems to exist behind the door and beyond the brick wall; little does she know, however, that something sinister awaits, and that the price for "true" happiness may be more than she's willing to pay.
Ray Harryhausen would be proud. Coraline boasts a wonderfully-realized stop-motion animation technique that's beautifully seamless and only looks better in 3D. The worlds of Coraline are dark and unforgiving, obviously reflective of the film's themes that explore the dangers of sacrificing reality for fantasy and the consequences of accepting at face value anything that promises the moon but usually comes with obscured and out-of-sight stipulations and vague consequences that negate all that's good on the surface. The film's visual structure and stop-motion animation allow for the story to further exaggerate its themes by engendering a surreal look that's somewhere between reality and digital animation; employing the former might have made the picture too intense for younger viewers, while the latter seems better suited to Comedy and light Horror motifs, found in something like Monster House. The stop-motion effects seem to offer more in the way of artistic license for the filmmakers to get away with delving into the truly bizarre in an effort to further demonstrate the story's psychological undertones and complex characters. Whatever the reason in choosing stop-motion over live action or digital animation, Coraline excels as a visual wonder; even when viewed as a 2D presentation, the worlds prove remarkably and intricately detailed while also appearing dimensionally extravagant, these features only accentuated by a 3D viewing.
Coraline's dark visuals and somewhat complex themes dont exactly make it something that seems primed to replace those well-loved copies of Monsters, Inc., Cars, and Kung Fu Panda in the kids' movie rotation, but it will satisfy adults in search of a more involved and thought-provoking animated title that explores themes that might be presented from a child's perspective but certainly prove relevant for most all viewers of any age. The picture plays out with a delightfully intriguing air of mystery about it. Characters are developed in due time and to an extent that makes Coraline's decisions later in the film seem to stem naturally from her upbringing, attitude, experiences, and surroundings, but the picture manages to build up these points-of-reference without relying on dull actions, extreme circumstances, boring dialogue, or humorless moments in the process. Coraline succeeds in large part thanks to the filmmakers' ability to keep things moving at a wonderfully robust pace whether during scenes of intense action, dramatic relevance, or gut-busting humor, and each of these elements play a natural and understandable part in taking the picture from its humble-but-oddball origins to a chilling conclusion that brings its motifs full circle with plenty of excitement and age-appropriate scares in tow.
Indeed, the mystery surrounding the events depicted in Coraline prove riveting by themselves, but the film generates enough visual eye candy, dramatic overtones, and exciting action and horror elements to make the journey that takes viewers from the introduction of a curious circumstance to an all-out and terribly intense conclusion well worth the effort. No doubt Coraline seems like something from the mind of Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam, and the film is more likely to appeal to audiences that are more open to untraditional cinema on both visual and psychological levels. By design, nothing about Coraline seems quite right; whether distorted figures or frightening creatures, talking and dancing animals or barren and darkened landscapes, the film revels in the peculiar but does so in an effort to better illustrate its themes. At its most basic, Coraline is about the want for something that seems unobtainable, at least in the world as it exists in the little corner in which Coraline resides. Hers is a bleak and lifeless world both outside and inside; her parents are workaholics who don't have time to play with or cook proper meals for her, seeing her more as an obstacle than an object of affection. She longs for a more cheerful life, tastier food, and loving parents, but her foray into a world that offers her those things comes with a price. She is ultimately required to have buttons sewn over her eyes should she wish to remain in her fantasy world forever, an act which can be seen as the ultimate in surrender, sacrificing the gift of sight -- the ability to assess, to enjoy, and most clearly and unmistakably sense and understand the world around her -- so she can be forever blind to the realities of her true existence. Coraline warns viewers that while it's OK to dream, it's potentially harmful to ignore reality -- no matter how good or how bad it may be -- in favor of escapism that will, in this case literally, suck the life out of those that seek it at the cost of everything they know to be true.
Coraline 3D Blu-ray, Video Quality
And now for the best part. Coraline's 3D Blu-ray release is a show stopper. Viewed on Panasonic's TC-P50VT20 50" Viera Plasma, Coraline's 3D transfer -- seemingly identical to the previously-released bundled exclusive version -- has "wow" written all over it. It's important to note that the film's style of animation and 2D presentation already yields one of the stronger images on Blu-ray and one that is itself of considerable depth; some scenes in the 3D version aren't even all that distinguishable from their 2D counterparts, but that's actually reflective of one of Blu-ray 3D's strengths: it's not at all gimmicky and it doesn't try and dazzle when it doesn't need to. Rather than try to incorporate as many trick shots as possible, these new 3D films instead go for a more natural feel, and the Blu-ray 3D presentations captures that wonderfully. That doesn't mean that the 2D and 3D versions are indistinguishable. Quite the contrary, there's a noticeable depth of field from the opening seconds of Coraline forward. The picture's title sequence features a lace material bordering the screen that seems to hover over the rest of the image. It's during the credits that the film's most obvious "poke something out of the screen" moment comes, but it's used to good effect and is wholly integrated into the scene and not at all forced into the film as a cheap effect.
Beyond the title sequence lies an entire world ripe for 3D exploration. Of note is the tunnel through which Coraline crawls to move about the two worlds; it's perhaps the best example of how well modern 3D technology works as the tunnel seems to begin at the front of the screen and almost begs for viewers to stick their hands inside. It seems to go through the TV and well out beyond the back of it; it's another one of the exceptionally-realized moments that might not immediately jump out as a shot that would stand out from the rest, but again, it seems that those more ordinary moments are the ones that truly define the strength of high definition 3D presentations. Of course, the tunnel scenes also remind viewers of the inescapable shortcoming of the technology; these and other awe-inspiring elements demand the largest screen possible, and while they look great on a 50" display, there's no doubt that they each cry out for something far larger. Other scenes, such as those in Coraline's kitchen, appear nicely done and very perceptibly deep, but then again, that particular environment appears quite dimensional in the 2D version as well. Additionally, Coraline rarely falls victim to "ghosting" or double images that don't quite mesh to create a seamless 3D effect. Those instances that stood out could be counted on one hand, and only one -- a shot at the 1:22:23 mark -- appeared excessively distracting.
Coraline's 3D presentation might be a hair darker than its 2D counterpart; it's a dark film to begin with, but colors seemed to be just a tad bit brighter in the 2D version. Nevertheless, the coloration in the 3D version dazzles, whether Coraline's blue hair or yellow slicker or the many vibrant hues that dot the unforgivingly dark elements across the two worlds. Additionally, black levels are excellent, every blackened frame delivering a strikingly inky shade that reinforces the visuals and themes splendidly. Detail is positively striking; the title sequence boasts some breathtaking close-ups of cloths and fabrics that reveal so much texture that the material may as well be glued onto the TV screen and not a digitized image inside it. There's a seemingly endless parade of eye candy in Coraline, and both the 2D and 3D versions are treasures of the format that are among its finest offerings. Granted there's only a few dozen 3D Blu-ray titles out there, but Coraline is among the best of the bunch. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is no slouch, and both prove superior to Monsters vs. Aliens. Coraline's style, perhaps, translates a bit better to 3D, but viewers will be more than impressed with most any of the animated titles currently available.
Coraline 3D Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Coraline boasts a wonderful DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. It's the perfect companion to the dazzling visuals; it's a track that's effortlessly variable between the film's quietest and most audibly-intense moments. Music is wonderfully smooth and free-flowing across the soundstage with each note a profile in seamless integration through a sound system and into a listening environment. Likewise, the track does wonderfully well in capturing the ambience of the area in and around the Pink Palace Apartments, whether the chilling breezes and booming thunder in one early scene or the slightest creaks and pops around the house during various interior sequences. Many of the more aggressive effects heard throughout the film seamlessly traverse the entire soundstage; imaging is exceptional and the track delivers an experience that seems to erase the boundaries of the speakers and engulf the listener into Coraline's dual worlds. Additionally, the track features a pitch-perfect low end that's dynamic and strong but never excessively overbearing. Finally, dialogue never misses a beat; it's focused in the center but never cramped and, just as important, never lost underneath the track's other elements. Coraline sounds as good as it looks.
Coraline 3D Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Coraline's wide-release 3D version carries over most of the extras found on the standard 2D-only release. Notably absent is the trio of U-Control picture-in-picture video tracks. The Blu-ray disc features both the 2D and 3D versions of the film. All supplements are in 2D. This two-disc set also contains a hybrid DVD/Digital copy disc.

Coraline 3D Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Coraline is a beautifully dark and alluringly peculiar picture with wonderful animation, well-developed characters, and a message that speaks on the importance of coping with reality rather than falling victim to the dangers of reality-destroying fantasy. The picture boasts an excellent voice cast on top of its gorgeous visuals and pertinent themes, and while it may not be the film small children will play on a loop with every waking hour, it's a must-see picture for mature viewers of all ages, particularly those who will be able to understand its themes within the context of the bleak visual picture it paints. Universal's Blu-ray 3D release of Coraline excels from the top down. Great movie, stunning technical presentation, and now an honest and even, arguably, necessary assortment of extra content makes this a complete must-own package that's already one of the best among the limited Blu-ray 3D releases. Hopefully, it's only a matter of time before other exclusive titles like Monsters vs. Aliens, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, and Avatar also become available for general sale and offered with the necessary extras intact. As for Coraline 3D? Very highly recommended.

Food Banks across the country are in need of certain items that you may not realize because they aren't essential items. Some of the items that food banks need are: spices, feminine products, chocolate, toiletries, canned meats, crackers and tortilla, soup packets, socks, and canned fruits. Please support your local food bank this winter season and bring your items to the food bins at Congregation Emanu-El.
It looks like there's a cold winter ahead! The Farmers' Almanac forecast for this winter predicts below-normal temperatures for three-quarters of the country. That means that too many children and adults will be facing Fall and Winter without a warm coat. Of course, you can help change that. Consider organizing your own One Warm Coat drive or simply donate coats to a drive this upcoming winter season.

We have seen harrowing news about thousands of unaccompanied minors fleeing gang violence in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Children of all ages, including toddlers, who endure horrific experiences on their journey to the United States. They come in hopes of finding their families and searching for a life without fear and violence. Once in the United States they need legal assistance as they go through the scary and confusing process of trying to get refugee status in order to stay in the United States.
As Jews, our own legacy as immigrants, frequently as refugees, coupled with our values of tikkun olam and welcoming the stranger propel us to take action. Hundreds of kids right here in the Bay Area need our help as they await deportation hearings in court.

The year 2014 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Back on Track, a partnership that originated when Rabbi Robert Kirschner of Congregation Emanu-El and Rev. Amos C. Brown of Third Baptist Church, met during a 1987 civil rights march in Alabama against racial violence and the Klu Klux Klan. Inspired by the march, they agreed to form a unique partnership and build bridges of opportunity and academic enrichment for students in San Francisco. Brown and Kirschner recognized that a disproportionate number of African American students were performing below grade level in San Francisco's public schools. The partnership they created was the genesis of the first pulpit exchange and of Back On Track, a tutoring program that promotes both academic achievement on a one‐on‐one basis for students who are otherwise not well served and a mentoring relationship.
The unique partnership has crossed religious and cultural differences to build bridges of opportunity for K-12 students. As a non-denominational community based program, Back on Track has served over 3,000 young people from diverse multicultural populations throughout San Francisco.

His pain was the Heat's gain
After one magical night, Mike Miller's debilitating injuries brought him back to earth

PAIN IS HARD to measure. I trained as a paramedic for a while, and I never did figure out how to calculate it. Asking the patient never seemed to work -- pain tolerance is relative, and trying to put it on an absolute scale always felt fruitless. One man's 10 is another man's 2. But sometimes, pain is all too plain. You can see exactly how awful it is. When we decided that a patient's pain was bad enough, we'd give him midazolam, a drug that makes you forget. Some pain is so terrible that if you let a man remember it, he'll feel it for the rest of his life.
In the hours before Game 5 of the NBA Finals, only two men sat in the Miami Heat locker room, different definitions of hurt: On one side was LeBron
He had quit seeing doctors because they could not fix him. That brand of resignation is usually a bad sign, but in Miller's case, it was understandable. In his two years with the Heat, he had suffered injuries to his back, his left knee, both ankles, both thumbs, an ear and an eye. He also had surgery for a sports hernia. By the time he was sitting in his locker, he had been at the arena for hours, enduring his usual pregame routine of injections, massages, stretches and ice. I asked him what hurt the most. "It's pretty much a little bit of everything," he said, and suddenly I was in the back of the ambulance again. Sometimes, the people in the deepest agony are the least likely to tell you how they feel. It's as though they're trying to spare you from what they know.
Now we know certain things, or we think we do. We know that Miller went on to have his incredible night, sinking seven three-pointers -- that's what we'll remember, the ball in flight. But he'll remember almost as much the time he spent kneeling on a blue pad because he couldn't take the pain of sitting on the bench. He'll remember what it felt like when he collided with Kevin Durant and put his hands to his stomach, as though he were trying to keep his insides from falling out.
At the postgame news conference -- from which he was driven in a golf cart -- Miller again deflected questions; he again kept his pain to himself. "It's not anything to write or read about," he said. Still, in the hundreds of stories that spilled out of the building that night, he was celebrated for what he had done, the way we always celebrate athletes who play hurt. That's because we like
Here's a truer accounting: Miller never went back inside the locker room. He couldn't take the crush. Instead, he hid inside the trainer's room, inside that familiar torture chamber, slumped over one of the massage tables, bone spent. Shane Battier finally eased up beside him, careful not to clap his back, and he pointed at the pictures that lined the room, inspirational blowups from Miami's title in 2006: Take your medicine and one day you might know this. Now they would join those men on the walls; now they would live forever among the ranks of the motivators. Miller nodded and smiled and closed his eyes, but deep down he knew he was different from those men on the walls, just as he was different from James.
Mike Miller was victorious and halfway immortal, like the others, but he alone continues to suffer. The day after Miami's championship parade, Miller finally went to the doctor again. The fantasy narrative was over. Reality had made its hunched return. While his teammates continued in their basking, he was seeing a back surgeon, the start of a barbaric summer. His career might be over; at age 32 it's hard for him even to climb the stairs. All these days and weeks later, his hurt has not gone away. That's what real pain is. And there is no drug in the world -- including winning -- that will ever help him forget it.

Sept. 11 museum opens to relatives and survivors
Tears in her eyes, firefighter widow Maureen Fanning emerged Thursday from the new Sept. 11 museum deep beneath ground zero, unable to bring herself to look at all of it.
Associated Press
Tears in her eyes, firefighter widow Maureen Fanning emerged Thursday from the new Sept. 11 museum deep beneath ground zero, unable to bring herself to look at all of it.
"I just think it would be a little too overwhelming today," she said, unsure when she would return. "It's a lot to digest, to absorb. Not anytime soon."
Victims' friends and relatives, rescue workers and survivors of the terrorist attack descended into the subterranean space and revisited the tragedy as the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum was dedicated by President Barack Obama as a symbol that says of America: "Nothing can ever break us."
The museum's artifacts range from the monumental, like two of the huge fork-shaped columns from the World Trade Center's facade, to the intimate: a wedding ring, a victim's voice mail message.
Some relatives found the exhibits both upsetting and inspiring.
Patricia Smith's visit came down to one small object: the New York Police Department shield her mother, Moira, was wearing 12½ years ago when she died helping to evacuate the twin towers.
Patricia, 14, said she left feeling a new level of connection to her mother. Still, "seeing that, reading the story that goes along with it, even if I already know it, is really upsetting," she said.
David Greenberg, who lost a dozen colleagues who met for breakfast at the trade center's Windows on the World restaurant on Sept. 11, called the museum "breathtaking, awe-inspiring and emotional."
"You have your moments when there can be solitude, moments when there can be happiness, and a mixture of emotions through the entire museum," said Greenberg, who worked at an office nearby.
The museum opens to the public Wednesday, but many of those affected most directly by 9/11 could start exploring it Thursday.
Family members also paid their first visits to a repository at the museum that contains unidentified remains from the disaster.
Monica Iken never received her husband's body. "But he's here. I know he's here," Iken, a museum board member, said after leaving the repository.
Many in the audience wiped away tears during the dedication ceremony, which revisited both the horror and the heroism of Sept. 11, 2001, the day 19 al-Qaida hijackers crashed four airliners into the trade center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in an attack that plunged the U.S. into a decade of war in Afghanistan against al-Qaida's Taliban protectors.
After viewing some of the exhibits, including a mangled fire truck and a memorial wall with photos of victims, Obama retold the story of Welles Crowther, a 24-year-old World Trade Center worker who became known as "the man in the red bandanna" after he led others to safety from one of the towers. He died in the tower's collapse.
The president said the museum pays tribute to "the true spirit of 9/11 -- love, compassion, sacrifice."
"Like the great wall and bedrock that embrace us today," Obama said, referring to the way an underground flood wall withstood the attack, "nothing can ever break us. Nothing can change who we are as Americans."
One of the red bandannas Crowther made a habit of carrying is in the museum. Crowther's mother, Alison, said she hoped it would inspire visitors to help other people.
"This is the true legacy of Sept. 11," she said.
Former President George W. Bush was also invited, according to the museum. But Bush spokesman Freddy Ford said he was unable to attend because of a scheduling conflict.
At the dedication ceremony, retired Fire Department Lt. Mickey Cross described being trapped for hours in the wreckage -- and then joining the recovery effort after being rescued.
Kayla Bergeron remembered taking her final steps to safety, after 68 flights, on the battered staircase that now sits in the museum. "Today, when I think about those stairs, what they represent to me is resiliency," she said.
Also in the collection are the shoes Florence Jones shed on her way down one of the towers.
"I wanted my nieces and my nephew and every person that asked what happened to see them and, maybe, understand a little bit better what I felt like to be us on that day," she said.
Associated Press writers Josh Lederman, Karen Matthews and Jennifer Peltz contributed to this report.

The partition is a sound barrier, as there was an uproar by the local 'nimby' brigade when the VQ was opened (2000ish)despite the railway yard being there for over 100 years!.I remember seeing 'Railtrack Vandals' protest banners hung in the huge trees by the lake on the right and graffiti on rolling stock! A rake of mkI parcel vans was used before the sound barrier was built.

"Despite ongoing economic uncertainty, we anticipate generally favorable market conditions to remain in place in 2013. As a result, Moody's expects revenue growth across all areas of the business, as well as earnings per share in the range of $3.45 to $3.55."Moody's Corporation revenue for full-year 2012 totaled $2,730.3 million, an increase of 20% from $2,280.7 million for 2011.

Adjusted operating income was $1,183.1 million for the year, 22% higher than 2011. The operating margin was 39.5% for full-year 2012, up 50 basis points from full-year 2011's margin of 39.0 percent. Diluted earnings per share of $3.05 for full-year 2012 grew 22% from $2.49 in 2011 and included a legacy tax benefit of $0.06 in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding legacy tax benefits in both periods, diluted earnings per share of $2.99 for the full-year 2012 grew 22% from $2.46 in 2011.

I've never examined a Registry log.reg, but--
could you zip that file for me and attach same to your next post?
I will give you the approach I would follow, although my explanation is weak.
I would go into device managment, and disable and remove the drivers for all devices which show a yellow triangle or worse yet, a red stop sign.
Then I would shutdown 100% the computer. Don't just "hibernate' or 'sleep', but actually shut power off.
Now power on the computer. MS will install drivers without any effort on your part. Let MS install drivers. Do NOT install any more drivers after MS finishes installing their own default drivers.
Your sound will probably work now.
Let me know the results and I'll suggest a change to MS update to guarantee that update fetches the latest updated drivers that MS has. These are, generally, not the very, very latest drivers from the manufacturer.
Oh yes, to run device management:
WIN | type DEVMGMT.MSC | ENTER
You want to Right-click on the device with a yellow triangle and choose disable, if the option is there, choose Uninstall if the option is there.
