CL: Brushing Up on a Defensive Play
Here is a smartly structured options trade for a trader who is looking to for strength in a declining market.
This year CL has outperformed the S&P 500. It's had its ups and downs just like the rest, but it's strong. If the market continues lower, CL might not rise sharply -- in fact, it probably won't. But it is likely to "hang in there" and either enjoy modest gains, stay stable, or at least not suffer as badly as the broad market.
But right now CL's options are priced with a classic built-in fear premium that often accompanies falling markets running amok with fear mongers. This fear premium can be observed by studying CL options' implied volatility.
Right now, CL's implied volatility is high. The 30-day implied volatility is sitting up around 20%, which is in the top third of the six-month range. Further, the implied volatility is decidedly above the 30-day historical volatility, which is around 14%. What's all this mean? CL options are expensive.
The objectives of this trade set up will be two fold:
Volatility objective: To structure a trade that benefits from over-priced options (or at least doesn't suffer from because of it)
Directional objective(s): To profit if CL shares rise (though there is no expectation for a big rise, and thus it is acceptable to forgo profits if an upside breakout should occur), if they remain steady, or even if they slightly decline in value.
Given this thesis, a logical trade set up would be to sell an out-of-the-money put credit spread.
The next step in this trade set up is going to the option chain to see A) whether such a trade can be structured well given current available strikes and put prices, and B) which specific strikes and months make the most sense.
In this case, the best choice is to sell the CL August 80/82.5 put spread at $0.40 by executing the following legs:
Trades: Sell to open CL August 82.5 puts at $0.74 and buy to open CL August 80 puts for $0.34 for a net credit of $0.40.
Why this particular spread? The 80/82.5 spread is the lowest strikes to sell while still getting some "meat" for options premium. The short strike is the price point the underlying must remain above to deliver the maximum profit. The lower the short strike, the better because it provides more room for being wrong. But the 77.5/80 spread is only $0.09 bid. There's not enough premium there to make the trade worthwhile.

Rangers conquer Islanders
|New York Rangers' Michael Del Zotto, left, becomes entangled with New York Islanders' John Tavares, center, as he attempts a shot on New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, right, during the first period of the NHL hockey game in New York, Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
NEW YORK — Teenage rookie J.T. Miller scored his first two NHL goals in his second career game to lift the New York Rangers to a 4-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Thursday night.
Miller, who won't turn 20 until March, gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead just 1:29 in and then pushed their advantage to 3-1 in the second period with a rare power-play goal for the club. Marian Gaborik also scored, defenseman Marc Staal had two assists and Ryan McDonagh added an empty-net goal to give the Rangers their second win in three games. New York lost in Miller's NHL debut Tuesday at New Jersey.
The Rangers have an eight-game winning streak over the Islanders at Madison Square Garden, outscoring them 35-11.
New York (5-5) entered with 20 goals, tied for fewest in the NHL, but scored more than two for just the second time in five games. The Rangers connected for only the fourth time this season in 37 power-play opportunities — the worst percentage in the league.
The Islanders' struggles on the power play continued as they went 0 for 5. They have failed in 19 straight chances over three games after starting the season 9 for 24.
Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves as he started for the ninth time in the Rangers' 10 games this season. It was his first win in three outings. The Rangers also welcomed back captain Ryan Callahan, who had missed three games because of a shoulder injury nine days earlier.
John Tavares scored his fifth goal of the season in the second period to cut the Islanders' deficit to 2-1, but they dropped their third straight after a 4-2-1 start. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 21 shots just hours after the Islanders acquired veteran goalie Tim Thomas from the Boston Bruins.
Miller started the scoring early with a snap shot from the lower left circle that beat Nabokov. Gaborik made it 2-0 with 5:56 left in the first period when he was left alone in front for a perfectly placed drive that produced his sixth goal of the season.
Tavares brought the Islanders within a goal 11:13 into the second period with a rising wrist shot from the right circle that eluded Lundqvist's glove, but Miller struck again with 1:49 left in the period when he got by the defense and came right in on Nabokov.
Miller, the Rangers' first-round pick in 2011, had two shots in 14 minutes, 25 seconds of ice time Tuesday in his debut.
NOTES: The Islanders will send a conditional second-round draft pick to the Bruins either next year or in 2015, depending on if Thomas ever plays for New York. ... The Rangers benched forward Brian Boyle to make room in the lineup for Callahan. Coach John Tortorella was critical before the game of Boyle, who has one assist, a minus-3 rating and 11 penalty minutes this season. ... The Rangers went 1-2 without Callahan. ... D Lubomir Visnovsky passed a physical and was activated from the suspended list by the Islanders after he didn't report to the club to start the season. He wasn't in the lineup. ... The Rangers were caught with too many men on the ice for the fifth time this season, the fourth in four home games.

According to a report, a New Jersey man buried himself in a closet full of pillows, dialed 9-1-1 and demanded to speak with none other than Jets quarterback Tim Tebow.
The report alleges 28-year-old Jason Slater later called the Hopatcong police department's direct number, told them that he was the "president," and demanded to speak to Tebow again. Police were able to trace the number to Slater's mother's house, and when they arrived there they found him hiding in his mother's closet, police said.
Tebow Time has reached New Jersey.

InterDigital Announces Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Results
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC), a wireless research and development company, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.
Highlights for fourth quarter 2012:
- Revenue of $87.9 million;
- Net income of $15.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share; and
- Ending cash and short-term investments totaling $577.3 million.
Highlights for full year 2012:
- Record revenue of $663.1 million and net income of $271.8 million, or $6.26 per diluted share;
- Free cash flow 1 of $145.7 million; and
- $235.8 million returned to shareholders in share repurchases and regular and special dividend payments.
"By all measures we delivered a stand-out year, characterized by meeting the objectives we'd discussed at the start of 2012," commented William J. Merritt, President and CEO. "We began the year by expanding our strategy to include patent sales, and then successfully executed on that strategy, concluding transactions that drove an additional $384 million in revenue. In the fall of 2012, we announced another enhancement of our strategy and the formation of InterDigital Solutions, a new group with the goal of commercializing our technologies through key industry partnerships. We followed this up by announcing, at the very start of 2013, the first such partnership with Sony involving the exciting area of wireless machine-to-machine communications and services, where InterDigital has been a long-term innovator. All of that came on top of exceptionally strong performance from our core terminal unit licensing team, which launched our LTE licensing efforts with nine new, renewed or expanded patent license agreements—including agreements with Sony and Blackberry—all of which aligned with our long-term licensing strategy.""As a result of executing on our enhanced strategy and fulfilling these commitments, we delivered our strongest financial year ever, with record revenue, cash flow and profit," continued Mr. Merritt. "We have equally high hopes for this year. With our restructured Innovations Group, we expect to create a greater quantity and more diverse set of inventions, touching on a broader range of wireless devices and services, at a lower cost. We will look for our Solutions Group to extend its success with new partnerships involving some of our other exciting technologies, like our Smart Access technologies. And we expect our licensing teams to continue their success, driving new and renewed license agreements and expanding our revenue base. With a strong cash position, solid strategy and no shortage of opportunities to pursue, we look forward to delivering another banner year."

Fair Play: State Fair Snacks Worth the Yearly Wait
The foodies at Delish and Good Housekeeping have seen it all when it comes to good eats. They weigh in to tell you which state fair snacks — from unconventional fried foods to childhood classics — will whet your appetite.
By Kristyn Lyncheski
Fried Chicken Skin
"I have found something at the Texas State Fair that sounds amazing and right up my alley — deep fried chicken skin. YUM! The folks at Crispies at the Texas State Fair take chicken skin, batter it, and then deep fry it into golden, crispy chunks of chicken magic: a decadent, indulgent, insane celebration of the best part of fried chicken. Of all the kooky things vendors batter and fry at state fairs, this one is actually one of those genius, 'why didn't anyone think of this sooner?' creations."

Pereira defends officiating in Denver/Balt upset

"Pass interference is ill-defined and inconsistently called in the NFL. Its frustrating, with how big a penalty pass interference can be, to see how the NFLs officials can never agree on what is and what is not pass interference. We saw that three times in the first 10 minutes of the Ravens-Broncos game, and it went against Denver all three times: Baltimores first-quarter touchdown drive was kept alive by a shaky pass interference call on a third-down incompletion, then Corey Graham appeared to commit pass interference but wasnt flagged on his interception return for a touchdown, then Demaryius Thomas was tripped on a deep pass from Peyton Manning but didnt get the call. In overtime another questionable pass interference call went against Denvers Champ Bailey. Its not so much that any of those calls were blatantly wrong, its more that the NFL officials are so inconsistent in the way they call pass interference that no one ever knows when the official will throw the flag and when hell keep it in his pocket. On such a pivotal penalty the only penalty that can give a team more than 15 yards the NFL has to find more consistency.
The Ravens-Broncos officiating stunk even aside from pass interference. A phantom hold that called off a Broncos first down run. An absurdly long series of conferences while the officials debated an illegal hands to the face call. A referees decision to unilaterally abolish the tuck rule. I could go on but I think Ill stop, because its depressing to focus too much on the officials after a great game. The officiating was a mess"

Ocean acidification is driving changes in waters vital to Alaska's valuable commercial fisheries and subsistence way of life, according to new NOAA-led research that will be published online in Progress in Oceanography.
Many of Alaska's nutritionally and economically valuable marine fisheries are located in waters that are already experiencing ocean acidification, and will see more in the near future, the study shows. Communities in southeast and southwest Alaska face the highest risk from ocean acidification because they rely heavily on fisheries that are expected to be most affected by ocean acidification, and have underlying factors that make those communities more vulnerable, such as lower incomes and fewer employment opportunities.

An activist group has uncovered what it says is a whale shark factory in China processing up to 600 of the endangered fish each year.
WildLifeRisk, a Hong Kong-based conservation group, says the whale sharks are being processed at the "China Wenzhou Yueqing Marine Organisms Health Protection Foods Co Ltd" in China's PuQi township near Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province.
The factory is fed by a network of agents who pay fishermen up to $US30,000 for one whale shark which can grow to 12m and weigh 20 tonnes.

Offsetting carbon emissions by conserving ocean vegetation
What is Blue Carbon?
The problem: The growing emission of carbon dioxide from a wide range of human activities is causing unprecedented changes to the land and sea.

SYDNEY: Large concentrations of trash in the oceans, also known as "plastic soups", are as dangerous as climatic change, one of the experts in the field, Mike Moore said, Australian media reported.
These high concentrations of ocean garbage "are currently killing a more animals than climate change", Moore said.
. . . "We are facing a new phenomenon. In fact, it is a new habitat which does not have precendents in the planet's history," Moore added.

. . . Scientists have discovered evidence of a vast reservoir of water hiding up to 400 miles beneath the surface.
The discovery could transform our understanding of how the planet was formed, suggesting that Earth's water may have come from within, rather than from collisions with large, icy comets.
The water is trapped in a blue mineral called ringwoodite that sits in the mantle, a hot, rocky layer between the Earth's crust and outer core.

President Obama announced Tuesday his intent to make a broad swath of the central Pacific Ocean off-limits to fishing, energy exploration and other activities.
The proposal, slated to go into effect later this year after a comment period, could create the world's largest marine sanctuary and double the area of ocean globally that is fully protected.

New evidence links rapid sea level rise 14,500 years ago to icebergs breaking off Antarctica. Credit: Frank Roedel, Alfred Wegener Institute
Some 14,600 years ago, sea levels rose 6.5 feet in just a century, thanks to Antarctica's melting glaciers. It could happen again, say researchers.
livescience.com - by Becky Oskin - May 28, 2014
Antarctica's melting glaciers launched so many icebergs into the ocean 14,600 years ago that sea level rose 6.5 feet (2 meters) in just 100 years, a new study reports. The results are the first direct evidence for dramatic melting in Antarctica's past — the same as predictions for its future.
"The Antarctic Ice Sheet had been considered to be fairly stable and kind of boring in how it retreated," said study co-author Peter Clark, a climate scientist at Oregon State University. "This shows the ice sheet is much more dynamic and episodic, and contributes to rapid sea-level rise."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT/Submitted) -- No. 3/2 Tennessee mounted a late rally in the sixth inning after a two-run homer by Cheyanne Tarango, but the Lady Vols' comeback attempt against Western Kentucky fell short as the Lady Toppers held on to upset UT, 3-2, on Saturday at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.
Western Kentucky (14-6-1) took control in the third inning, scoring two runs. WKU's lead grew to 3-0 in the fifth. Tarango's homer in the bottom of the sixth drew Tennessee (19-2) to within one run, but the Lady Toppers held on for the win.
Rainey Gaffin (3-1) had three strikeouts and three earned runs allowed over six frames. Erin Gabriel allowed two hits in the sixth and Ellen Renfroe had two strikeouts in the in a scoreless seventh in relief.
WKU's Emily Rousseau (8-5) took the win after totaling 10 strikeouts and allowing two earned runs over seven frames.
The Lady Toppers struck first, scoring two runs in the top half of the third inning. After back-to-back singles by Brooke Holloway and Preslie Cruce and an intentional walk to Amanda Thomas, Kelsie Mattox knocked a two-RBI double to center field.
Western Kentucky added one more run in the top of the fifth. Holloway's single through the left side led to a pitching substitution for UT. Gabriel entered for Gaffin, but her showing was brief. After hitting one batter and allowing two singles, Gaffin reentered for Gabriel, gave up one run on an RBI single by Thomas to right field and worked her way out of the inning.
Tennessee would not go away silently, however. After a Hannah Akamine walk, Tarango blasted a two-run home run to left center in the bottom of the sixth to cut WKU's lead to 3-2. Tarango's home run marked her first of the season.
Tennessee will be back in action on Sunday, hosting Georgia Southern at 2 p.m. and College of Charleston at 4:30 p.m. at Lee Stadium.

Totally baffled
I hope someone here can help as I have exhausted all ideas.
I have been having a problem for quite some time now. Somehow, my public ip disappears from my NetSetMan display, and I am unable to browse. The only way I can get internet back is to reboot my system.
I am at the point where I think the problem is a hardware issue, but cannot find one.
I say this because I have the same problems with cable and DSL internet, and I had the problem using Vista Home Premium, and now with Windows 7 Professional. And it happens with wireless and hard-wired setups.
I thought maybe it was because of NetSetMan, but I have the problem using Windows network configuration, even with NetSetMan uninstalled. I thought for a while it was my cheap WBR 1310 D-Link router, so I replaced that with a 5000 series gaming router from D-Link (on SHAW cable) No luck. I now am using my Telus supplied GigaSet 576 DSL router on their system and having the same problems.
I have used static ip's, I have allowed automatic ip assigning. The problem persists no matter what I try, and the ONLY evidence that anything even happened, comes from my logs in my Gigaset 576 DSL router. I've started noting, if possible, the time that the internet crashes at and it seems to correspond to my router logs that say "Ethernet Link 1 down". I have not found anything else that might explain why this is happening, but am limited as far as knowledge of diagnostics.
If I only try resetting the router and configurations via NetSetMan or by rebooting router physically itself, I get no connection.
THE ONLY way to get everything to work is to reboot my laptop. Confusing.
I have spent a couple weeks on this using the vista forums, and now that I am onto Window 7 now, I thought maybe I would give this forum a try.
If anyone can help, any ideas. If anyone needs more info, please explain what it is and how to get it, and I would be happy to do so. Thanks in advance.
PS. I have made sure that neither adapter, wired or wireless, are set to "not sleep" in power management as well.

hmmm, no not right at the moment as I have moved and am waiting for stuff to get here, BUT, now that you say that, at my last place of residence, I had a 2 XP machines in my network, and neither one EVER suffered from the "internet drop". Meaning, when this machine would go down, I could still hop on one of the XP machines, and "surf"
I will see if I can borrow a laptop from someone and try though.
And thank you for the welcome.

In Woody Allen's new film, To Rome With Love, people — like, really young people — still talk, improbably, about "neuroses." Horny, middle-aged businessmen actually stand around the water cooler and ogle the hot secretary, as in the Playboy cartoons of the ancients. In the Allen Legendarium, Freudian psychiatrists never vanished, still roaming the land like the tragic elves of Middle Earth.
All of which is completely OK, because, like Tolkien, Allen has created a magical universe in which these things can persist. A more accurate literary comparison might be P.G. Wodehouse, whose signature array of gestures and conventions could exist only in a parallel world of upper-class fops chasing pigs around stately mansions. It all hangs together by virtue of sensibility alone.
This time around, a Love Boat's worth of stars breeze through four intercut Roman tales. Briefly: A young husband (Alessandro Tiberi) is forced, through a comedy-of-errors sequence of events, to present an earthy call girl (Penélope Cruz) as his wife to a group of stuffy, distant relatives. Meanwhile, his real wife (Alessandra Mastronardi) has a fling with a famous actor.
260 Aragon Ave.
Coral Gables, FL 33134
Category: Movie Theaters
Region: Coral Gables/South Miami
Mortician Giancarlo (tenor Fabio Armiliato) sings beautifully, but only in the shower. Allen, as a retired opera director whose daughter is about to marry Giancarlo's son, overhears him and insists he audition for the opera, which goes badly because Giancarlo can sing only in the shower, and, well, you can see where that's headed. Allen deserves credit here for his continued ability to stage absurd set pieces.
Allen also includes one of his idiosyncratic, Zelig-style fantasies, involving a schlubby, boring businessman (Roberto Benigni) who steps out of his house one morning into a scrum of paparazzi and discovers he has become wildly famous overnight for absolutely no reason.
The most nuanced story concerns American architect John (Alec Baldwin) returning to the district where he lived as a young man 30 years earlier. Befriending an American student named Jack (Jesse Eisenberg), John watches as the younger man romances his fiancée's best friend, Monica (Ellen Page). After the setup, Allen leaves it artfully unclear whether these events occur in the present or if Jack is John's memory of his younger self.
In Monica, Allen is trying to suggest an arty, mesmerizing unicorn, an unobtainable locus of male obsession, though from a casting point of view, Juno's charisma might be on a different frequency. Baldwin pops in and out of scenes like a sly, portly genie, sometimes visible only to Eisenberg, often engaging characters in conversations the others can't hear. John, with the benefit of experience, warns Jack not to pursue Monica, pointing out the holes in her pseudo-intellectual, bohemian façade.
Speaking of which: In the same way that old men's ears and noses develop into exaggerated, cartilaginous bulbs, Allen's problematic portrayals of women have become more pronounced over the years. Eisenberg's earnest girlfriend Sally (Greta Gerwig) is a faint sketch compared to Monica, a sharply portrayed liar who sleeps with her best friend's boyfriend.
Women throw themselves in groups into the married Benigni's bed, and Allen the screenwriter overtly states that wives understand they have to "share" their famous husbands with "the public," and goddammit, Woody Allen, you don't have to articulate every gross idea that goes through your head.
Characters specifically address the "whore/Madonna" dichotomy, presumably to excuse, y' know, embodying a whore or a Madonna. Meanwhile, the men are allowed soulful, middle-aged reveries about their lives, genial adultery, and most of the funny lines.
But Allen seems without actual ill intent here, and again, the film is set in a magical realm, as evidenced by architects who still draw with pencils and T squares, the existence of such a thing as a "high school astronomy teacher," and impoverished college students who propose "sailing around the boot" of Italy but who never mention their magical sacks of gold. The great Judy Davis, as Allen's wife, tells him several times that he's living in a fantasy, so maybe that whole thing is already in his wheelhouse.
Shot by Darius Khondji — who also worked on Allen's Midnight in Paris — this Rome is luminous, and Allen, as in Manhattan, is great at imbuing his film with a strong sense of location. But it's a good thing that his favorite themes are kind of ageless, because the man could not be further away, as measured by time and tax brackets, from the lives of actual human beings as they exist in the real world.

David Wasserman of The Cook Political Report spoke at VMA's 76th Annual Meeting where he entertained and informed members, spouses and guests. Wasserman not only gave a preview of this year's upcoming midterm elections, but also a good synopsis of the state of politics in general.
David Wasserman, Cook Political ReportStop if you've already heard this question: "Why are politics today so polarized?" Gerrymandering has been around for as long as Americans have held open elections. But now, according to Wasserman, it's getting ridiculous. When politicians choose their own voters, the party that controls a congressional or legislative seat is usually a foregone conclusion. For example: In 2012, Democratic candidates for the House in Pennsylvania won 83,468 more votes than their Republican counterparts. The end result was Democrats won only five of those 18 seats. All that mattered to those 18 winning candidates was appealing to primary voters to win their party's nomination, and less than 15% of voters participate in those elections.
Culture is now as big a divider between the two parties as the actual issues, Wasserman says. Democrats are becoming more and more urban, Republicans more and more rural. It used to be that Dems went to Starbucks and GOPers to Wal-Mart, but those two businesses are everywhere nowadays. Today the best indicator of how you vote is your proximity to either a Whole Foods or a Cracker Barrel—Wasserman actually has the statistics to prove it! In 2012, Obama won 77% of Whole Foods counties while Romney won 71% of Cracker Barrel counties. This cultural barometer has existed for the past several elections, but the gap is getting wider and wider.
So what are the stakes this November? We know, thanks to our old friend gerrymandering, that the GOP is pretty much a lock to hold onto the House of Representatives. In 2012, Democrats actually won more total votes in House races, but the GOP easily held on to their majority. Midterm elections always have lower participation, in large part due to young voters who are unwilling to turn out. GOP voters have been trending older, Dems younger. Republicans currently have a 234-201 majority in the House and the Cook Political Report predicts them adding between two to 12 seats to that total.
There are several competitive governors' races across the U.S. this year and incumbents from both parties are in danger. Right now 29 of 50 governors are Republicans. The Cook Political Report predicts a Dem pickup of one or two seats in 2014.
The U.S. Senate, on the other hand, is a complete tossup. Here's the situation, according to David Wasserman: Republicans hold 45 seats in the chamber so they would need a net gain of six this November for a majority. There are seven competitive Senate races this year just in states Romney won in 2012. Three Dem retirements are expected to flip the states of West Virginia, Montana and South Dakota. That means the GOP needs to flip at least three of the other four in Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina.
Democrats also have to defend a few seats that went Obama's way in 2012, albeit narrowly, in Colorado, Iowa and New Hampshire. Republican-held seats that could flip are Georgia and Kentucky, with Kansas being the wildcard. There, an Independent, instead of a Democrat, is challenging the incumbent. With a win, he could caucus with Dems in the Senate, but who knows?
If the Democrats do lose the Senate this year the silver lining for them is that the Republican majority could be short lived. The map for Democrats in 2016 is much more favorable, and they could win back control a mere two years later.
Wasserman explained just why Senate control is so important with this great example: Four of the nine Supreme Court Justices are currently over the age of 75, and it's the Senate's job to confirm new members to the courts. Incentive enough for you?

With one click of the mouse your customer can order a product from the other side of the world and have it in days. The sources of your competition can come from just about anywhere in the world so you will need all the tools at your disposal to participate successfully in this highly competitive environment.
One of those tools is comparative product testing. With the increase in competition and customer interest in the comparative quality and performance of products, it is essential for manufacturers to do comparative testing.
If you have never done comparative testing or it has been several years or even decades, consider doing so now. Even though your product(s) may be distinctive, several alternative products with similar quality and price to satisfy customer needs likely are available.
Why will someone buy from you unless you're offering some benefit?
Comparative product testing is of great importance because in today's highly competitive marketplace, just saying you're the best won't cut it. However, giving your sales and marketing team a leg up by being able to prove it enables you to single out your products as superior to your competitor. This type of data will provide valuable information for your product marketing strategies.
How exactly do you market your product above all the rest?
A thorough competitive product analysis will help you obtain important baseline information necessary to evaluate your position within the industry, for example:
To be able to identify strengths and weaknesses in your product(s) or in the competition relative to those of your own product will give you the edge in obtaining customer confidence. You will have the valuable verifiable data to place your product above the rest. There is no substitute for being able to back up your claims with recent hard testing data. The time to get this information is not after you have lost a customer to your competitors.
Several examples of valve tests against competitors:
The auto industry learned some hard lessons back in the 1980s. They weren't concerned about the foreign companies that were trying to break into the American market. Soon enough they learned their mistake and it took decades to recover --after manufacturers closed and millions were lost to the competition.
Be proactive. Make it a priority to know about your competitors, their products and how you measure up.

When there is a boom in an industry, there generally follows that there will be an increased demand for skilled workers and technicians. If the demand cannot be satisfied locally, then workers come in from other regions or industries to fill the vacuum. If the demand is especially high, then new recruits are found and trained and the pay scales escalate. The current boom in commodities like unconventional gas and oil has resulted in a peak in demand for valve and control engineers in areas such as Australia, Texas and western Canada.
Additionally, nearly all industries are experiencing advances in technology. In our own valve and actuator industry, we have seen an increase in sophistication in control and automation. For example, the use of microprocessors in valve actuators is now commonplace.
This makes the maintenance and upkeep of site equipment an even more demanding task for new field technicians. The mechanical part of automated valve design may be fairly stable in terms of technology, but valve actuators have always been challenging devices for maintenance personnel. During my years as an apprentice in a power plant, nobody wanted to work on the MOVs and one senior technician was designated to work on the electric actuators on the plant.
For previous generations, when machines failed to operate, the first thing to do was take it apart to see what was wrong. But that was before actuators were "smart". Now almost all instrumentation has developed to a point where the diagnostic process cannot be done by physical disassembly. The instrument now needs to be connected to a diagnostic tool or interrogated using a built in HMI (human machine interface) to determine where a problem may lie. This is because the problem could be a faulty PCB or a software issue and visual inspection reveals little.
No More Diagnosis by Disassembly
In fact, disassembly by untrained technicians or operators invariably exacerbates a problem. I have seen actuators disassembled and modified with iron bars welded onto output shafts to try to increase seating force, when a simple adjustment of the torque switch would have solved the problem.
Non-intrusive diagnostics are fine if the technician is familiar with the equipment, but with the variety of instruments and manufacturers in the market today, it's near impossible to be an expert, or even familiar with, maintenance and diagnosis of every instrument. Sometimes, there is just too much information.
Imagine the situation of a maintenance technician sent to troubleshoot a problem at a remote site. There may be three or four brands of instrumentation and control equipment on site and a variety of instruments from each brand. Well trained and experienced technicians may be prepared with tools and documentation to enable a reasonable chance of resolving problems. However, new hires may find they are stuck a five hour drive from base with a vital tool or piece of information missing.
The good news is that if they have a cell phone connection they can either call back to base for support or download a manual from the internet or even view a "YouTube" video guide for fixing the problem. In remote areas, though, there may not even be a reliable cell signal.
The only real solution to the problem is to make the training for technical equipment as effective as possible, with easy to use support documentation that can be stored and accessed on portable devices. Retaining the information from training sessions seems to be best when delivered in a classroom environment combined with hands-on experience to consolidate knowledge.
Many manufactures have recognized this and have well-equipped training facilities to provide comprehensive training to users of their equipment. However, this type of training takes a commitment in time and money for both parties. Users have to take employees away from their duties for several days. Would they do this if they only had few pieces of one manufacturer's equipment?
For technicians that are involved with valves and actuators, a good foundation of general knowledge on the subject is an important basis on which to build further specialist knowledge. There are many types of valves in use today and a fundamental knowledge of the various types, function and application of valves should be part of a technician's training. Further, the available range of actuators for those valves, and the way in which they work, is important. Once a solid foundation is laid, then specialist knowledge can be gained from the training resources of individual manufacturers.
Users will decide on how best to train their technicians depending on the type and quantity of the equipment they are using. If an equipment manufacture's in-house training cannot be justified, then there are alternatives. A tour of the chosen manufacturer's web site will often uncover documentation, installation manuals, training videos and interactive "eLearning" modules that give training on the functions and maintenance of their equipment.
A wise trainer once told me that, "A trainee may remember a verbal description for about a week, a picture may be remembered for a month, but a hands-on session with real equipment will be remembered for years".

It wasn't that long ago that the only way a manufacturer could build one single product, either as a prototype or an operational unit, was through expensive engineering and casting or molding processes. Soon, however, building a prototype could be as inexpensive and simple as pushing the "print" button on your computer.
Thanks to funding made possible by Kickstarter, a Web-based funding platform for creative projects, two University of Maryland graduates have raised more than $3 million to produce The Micro, a consumer-friendly, sub-$300 3D printer. For anyone who has been hiding in a cave for the last decade and is not familiar with the process, 3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a computer-generated digital model.
Until recently, 3D printers were bulky and exorbitantly expensive, but, as we have seen with so much technology since the advent of the computer chip, the 3D printing process is maturing. "A 3D printer is a magical box that creates things," said Michael, co-founder of M3D, the company he launched with David Jones. "It's that simple. There is nothing on your desk one second, and the next you have it."
Weighing just two pounds, medium watermelon-sized and box-shaped, The Micro can be used to create anything from custom jewelry, cookie cutters, everyday objects around the house, and even real engineering and artistic prototypes, according to the company. Much like a paper printer, The Micro attaches to a computer, through which users download or create models using M3D's software, which company officials say is as interactive and enjoyable as playing a game. Once a model is selected, users hit print and the object is made. It promises to help change the way people build, innovate and create."
For valve and actuator manufacturers and their suppliers, the possibilities seem endless. While prototypes of seals, gaskets, valves and actuators are certainly possible, would it eventually make sense to use 3D printing to construct one-off specialty valves?
And what about plants and processes? In this image we see 3D printed models of buildings. Could a whole power plant be designed this way? Certainly models of factories and the machines in them could be created, allowing designers to move the equipment about like furniture in a doll house. Would this permit more creative uses of space and floor plans?
It's a brave new world, this offered by 3D printing. I'd love to hear from any of our readers about how they're using this incredible technology.

A common concern voiced by many valve manufacturers with whom I speak is the perceived upcoming shortage of skilled labor. With many baby-boomers (including me) setting their sights on days spent on the beach, golf course or playing with grandchildren, they are taking with them the benefit of decades of experience and lessons learned the old-fashioned way – by putting in the time and sometimes, making mistakes.
The fear is that the generations left behind to run the show do not have the skills, mind-set or experience to keep things running. This is not unique to the valve industry. We've heard from end users in all manufacturing, power and processing industries who have the same concerns. While this is a real concern, it is not one that cannot be remedied.
Yes, it takes planning and commitment on the part of management, but by developing and nurturing a strong training culture within a company, the so-called skilled labor gap can be filled. It does take money, though, and time, and while many companies look to trade schools and universities churning out engineers to populate their workforce, bottom line is – you have to train within. And you need to do it before the boomers give their notice.
Andrea W. Johnson, a client development manager at FlashPoint, wrote in an article, "Modern work environments require good communication skills, the ability to work in a team, time-management skills, the ability to adapt to change, and to work with people from diverse cultures."
One of the most important ways of developing these skills is what she called "Transfer of organizational knowledge". According to Johnson, by 2015, nearly 20% of the nation's workers will be 55 years old or older, up from 13%. She urged businesses to utilize job audits and other collection methods to document the tacit knowledge of employees who have been with the organization for years, and train those longtime employees to share their knowledge with others.
It is now 2014. If you haven't started actively collecting the knowledge of these long-time staffers and sharing it with newer recruits, do not delay. Now is the time to start. With that transfer of knowledge comes the need to have continuous training opportunities for that newer workforce. One thing younger workers stress time and again whenever they are surveyed is that they need to feel that they are growing professionally. To make the most of your investment in any individual, it's wise to insure that that individual has ongoing access to continuing education and training.
Certainly many larger organizations retain in-house training staff, but many outsource to professionals. Whether it's paying for employees to attend a class like the Valve Basics program run by VMA or courses run by any of the piping, power generation or manufacturing associations, the ongoing education of your workforce is a wise investment.

This is a great cleansing oil that cleanses as thoroughly as the advertisement promises! Just a 20-cent amount does the job.
However, I find it second to Laneige's Refreshing CO as it does not take off my eyeliner as well. Need to apply a 2nd time specifically to my eyes to remove eye makeup thoroughly.
Also, after rinsing off with water, it feels like there's a layer of oil. Unlike Laneige's clean, soft, and supple feel. I felt the need to wash my face with cleanser after using it.
However, for those with lower budget, Fancl's MCO is really the No. 1 choice!
i tried the new reformulated one and the older one and got the same results - both broke me out really badly that i'm still dealing with the after effects up till now. i stopped using this about 2 years ago.
i've now switched to Dermalogica's pre-cleanse which works on the same principle but is proving more effective in controling my breakouts and removing my MU.
will not repurchase - fancl's stuff dont seem to work for me though i really like it due to the no preservatives philosophy.
I just purchased this product weeks ago, I tried it for about 10 days so far and I have to say, I am not impressed at all. It seemed this product is used to be fav and rave at MUA until they changed the formula?
I don't know but the texture is close to liquid, then, when you mix it with water, it becomes milky liquid-really looks like skim milk. It's easy to use, it doesn't feel like oil. In fact, I could not tell whether the makeup is indeed been removed or not since I don't wear heavy makeup. Yet I give it 3 lippies because I felt that Freeplus-I bought from Japan Kanebo made-is much better than this thing. After all, Fancl is very basic and cheap line. But Rhoto line can do the same thing with even cheaper price. I think I will try shu uemura later and try to compare it with that one too to see which one is the best.
continued >>
I should have investigated more thoroughly before purchasing this, I didn't know the ingredients had been reformulated. I went out on a limb to try this because my standby, Clinique TTDO balm, was discontinued in all the local stores. I thought the Fancl MCO would be a cheaper alternative to order online since I found it someplace with free international shipping.
Whatever is in the new formulation (the list on my bottle is not in English) gave me one of the worst breakouts I've had in a long time. I'm never letting this anywhere near my skin ever again. What a huge disappointment because this had been given rave reviews in the past on the skincare board. Maybe not anymore? I'm curious to hear how more people feel about the reformulation.

This used to be the make-up remover I used to the exclusion of all else: it was gentle, quick and thorough, but its new formula (with the meadowfoam seed oil they advertise AND a lot of complicated-sounding ingredients) made me breakout. Very distressing, since they were big and red, and they wouldnt heal either. Couldnt figure out what was making me get the zits at first cuz I hadnt changed my skincare products or routine.
That is, until I remembered the new formula of Fancl cleansing oil and stopped using it. Almost immediately, the pimples that were already there began to dry up and heal. Been almost a week, and I have had no new zits at all, and only one zit left to heal.
Im definitely not using it again.
EDIT 11 AUG 2009: Someone asked why I sounded so harsh on this review. The reason is that I always double-cleanse, using another gentle cleanser so that I clean off first makeup and then whatever residue might be left behind, and I still broke out badly. Seeing as how this used to be my HG, I was not happy to say the least. Plus, I hate quite a few of the new ingredients - lots of chemically-sounding ones, which doesn't seem to fit into their philosophy.
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
ive already been through about 4 bottles of this!! its soooo amazing!
but i can only get it when i go to hong kong, which is a bummer so each time i go i stock up.
anyhoo, on with the review. the cleanser feels really nice on my face, and doesnt irritate me at all. however ever if it does get into my eyes my vison goes a little blurry, but it doesnt sting or anything. it takes off every last particle of make-up off my face!!!
highly recommend this product! tho, i think it does run out of the quicker side...
Highly recommended! Removes all traces of makeup with a few rubs, including water-proof mascara, without irritating the skin.
But I do follow up by using the fancl wash powder, being afraid of residue.
This one definitely beats the Shu Uemura oil cleanser, which is too watery and keeps running down my palm and face.
More reviews by rebeccawangxiaoyin
It's a decent cleansing oil to take every bit of your makeup, waterproof or not, off your face. However, that is it. I did not find it anything different from those by Shu Uemura, SKII and some other drug-store brands. Plus, all products from Fancl has a expiry of one-month after I start to use. I don't wear that much makeup for which a cleansing oil is necessary on a every-day basis. It's kind waste of money that I have to throw it away when I still have half a bottle left.
I like the cleansing powder, that it melts all makekup immediately, but it gave me zits on my face. BTW, it only last for 6 month, it has no preservatives in it, so it's pretty easy to have bacteria living in it.
More reviews by HappyGoLucky27
This oil cleanser is fantastic! I've used many oil cleansers as I'm a big fan and this one tops my list. However it is expensive to get them in Australia so not in a hurry to purchase again. However it is highly recommended, my skin feels smooth and non oily afterwards and make up is removed perfectly. It feels nice on the skin. Two thumbs up!
