Ben Johnson: Hi. I'm Ben Johnson, Morningstar's director of European exchange-traded fund research. I am here reporting from Morningstar's 2011 ETF Invest Conference. Today, I am joined by Chris Goolgasian. Chris is a portfolio manager with State Street Global Advisors, and he shared with us today his team's thoughts on the outlook for gold, something they've worked on quite extensively and actually recently published a really high-quality research report on. So, I am going to ask Chris what he thinks about gold and what his team thinks about gold, the outlook, and how gold can be used within investors' portfolios.
Chris, thanks for joining me.
Chris Goolgasian. Thanks Ben. It's pleasure.
Johnson: So, the topic on everyone's mind, or the question on everyone's mind is, is gold in a bubble right now. What do you think?
Goolgasian: It is. So, I think that's one of the three key questions we've heard and wrote the paper about, primarily, how do you value it, are we in a bubble, and then how much should I own? The question of are we in a bubble, I think my answer is "not yet," and there are a couple of reasons for that. One is, if you look at classic bubbles, there is always a major increase in supply to meet the demand of whatever that asset class that's bubbling is. So, if you look at the tech bubble, in the year 1999 there were 300 some odd IPOs, tech IPOs that year. So, it's like six or seven a week; and to put that in perspective, the year before there were around 100, and two years later there were about 20. So as the tech market rallied, the marketplace tried to meet that demand and put out more and more companies, some of which probably shouldn't have been IPOed and you had this huge supply of tech companies come along.
If you look at housing; in 2004, the housing market had doubled housing starts from the prior 14 years. That's a cycle that had never been repeated or never happened before. Two years later, housing starts were halved and were back to the level of 14 years ago. So, housing inventory rose to meet all the great demand.
What's the analog here for gold? Gold has rallied from $200 to $1,800 in the last decade, and as we showed today in the presentation, the gold supply chart is like this (flat). It hasn't moved. And the reason is that it's very hard for these miners. Even in the face of this growing tremendous rising price, they can't meet that demand with more and more supply. Every commodity cycle tends to end with more and more investing and capital spending. If you get the supply up, the price comes back down. In the gold market they are unable to bring the supply up to meet this demand.
Will it happen someday? Potentially, but it hasn't happened yet. So, that's one angle of why we think we're not in a bubble. Then the sentiment angle is the other one. On the sentiment side, we see--even in the last two weeks with this little downtick in gold--just massive rampant skepticism about gold. If you read the headlines or watch TV, you'll see the adjectives that are used to describe 2% moves: "Gold's Crashing," or "Gold's Cratering." When we're in a bubble, you won't hear any of that, right. You'll just have a bunch of people advocating and supporting and believing that it's just going to keep going up and up and up. We're not there yet and so there is massive skepticism at this level out in the press and out in conferences like this. And that's all good. I think to me that's very bullish. It means we haven't hit that period where everyone's a believer, and when you are in a bubble, everyone's a believer.
Johnson: And your team, as you've shared, doesn't believe in some of the conventional metrics that people used to "value gold," things like the inflation-adjusted gold price, the Dow/gold ratio, or the oil/gold ratio. Why aren't those useful? Then maybe if you could touch a bit more on some of the qualitative factors that you regularly monitor, which of those do you think are the most important and how are those trending right now?
Goolgasian: Right. So, you're taking something, it's like a piece of art or a house and saying, "What is that worth?" Well, it's only worth what the buying market is willing to pay for it. Picasso has no value itself. Your house has no value except what that market will pay. We put gold in that same class. It has no value in and of itself; what's the market willing to pay for it?
Wall Street though came up with a way to value gold, as they always will for any asset class, and Wall Street said, "Let's look at past ratios and past relationships and then support X price." For example, an inflation-adjusted price from 1980 would support that gold today should be $2,500 or gold relative to the Dow or gold relative to the monetary base.
The problem with all of these metrics is that they were picked from prior highs, applied today, and say, "This is what the price should be today." And my answer to that would be this: If we're going to use that line of thinking then we should take the fact that the S&P sold at 40 times earnings in 1999 and that should be our bull case today for equities. The S&P should at its best case trade at 40 times earnings, right? No, that's completely untrue.
But that's effectively what you're doing when you take best-case scenarios for historical prices for gold. And by the way, when I say this it's not as a gold bear, I am saying those prices could be too low. It's not that they are necessarily too high. They could be too low. They could be wrong on either side. The point is that they are likely to be wrong because they are just measuring ratios. They are not measuring a core value because gold doesn't have a core value. So we've applied ratios, we as an industry, not we at State Street.
Johnson: I think the analogy you used earlier, and I thought it was an apt analogy, was that they have effectively shot an arrow at the side of a barn and then subsequently painted the target around it.

Thorny dragon
The thorny devil (Moloch horridus) is an Australian lizard, also known as the mountain devil. This is the sole species of genus Moloch.
The thorny devil grows up to 20 cm (8.0 in) in length, and can live up to 20 years. Most of these lizards are coloured in camouflaging shades of desert browns and tans. These colours change from pale colours during warm weather and to darker colours during cold weather. These animals are covered entirely with conical spines that are mostly uncalcified.
The thorny devil also features a spiny "false head" on the back of its neck, and presents this to potential predators by dipping its real head. The females are larger than the males. The thorny devil's body is ridged in structure, and this enables the animal to collect water from any part of its body. That water is then conveyed to its mouth.[1]
Contents |
An intimidating array of spikes cover the entire upper side of the body of the thorny dragon. These thorny scales also help to defend it from predators. Camouflage and deception may also be used to evade predation. This lizard's unusual gait involves freezing and rocking as it moves about slowly in search of food, water, and mates.[1]
Taxonomy and naming
The names of this lizard have been given to it because of its appearance, and two large horned scales on its head complete the illusion of a dragon. Although the name Moloch was formerly used for a deity of the ancient Near East, this name began to be used later in demonology to refer to the fallen angel and Prince of Hell.
The thorny dragon was first described in writing by the biologist John Edward Gray in 1841. While it is the only one contained in the genus Moloch, many taxonomists suspect another species might remain to be found in the wild.[1] The thorny dragon is only distantly related to the similar (morphologically speaking) North American horned lizards of the genus Phrynosoma. This similarity is usually thought of as an example of convergent evolution.
The thorny dragon usually lives in the arid scrubland and desert that covers most of central Australia. For example, it inhabits the Spinifex (triodia) sandplain and sandridge desert in the deep interior and the mallee belt.
The habitation of the thorny dragon coincides mostly with the regions of sandy loam soils than with a particular climate in Western Australia.[2]
Self defense
The thorny dragon is covered in hard, rather sharp spines that dissuade attacks by predators by making it difficult to swallow. It also has a false head on its back. When it feels threatened by other animals, it lowers its head between its front legs, and then presents its false head.
The diets of thorny dragon mainly subsists on ants, often the Iridomyrmex or the Ochetellus genera. Some reports[3] indicate Iridomyrmex flavipes is its the predominant prey, but this species was renamed Ochetellus flavipes in 1992.[4]
Thorny dragons often eat thousands of ants in one day.[1] They collect moisture in the dry desert by the condensation of dew on their bodies at night. This dew forms on its skin, and then it is channelled to its mouth in hygroscopic grooves between its spines.[5] During rainfalls, capillary action allows the thorny dragon to suck in water from all over its body.
Reproduction and survival
The females lay clutch of three to ten eggs during the September–December season (spring-summer). They put these in a nesting burrow about 30 cm underground. The eggs hatch after about three to four months.[6]
Predators that consume thorny dragons include wild birds and goannas.
Popular reference
The popular appeal of the thorny dragon is the basis of an anecdotal petty scam. American servicemen stationed in Southwest Australia decades ago (such as during World War II) were supposedly sold the thorny fruits of a species of weeds, the so-called "double gee" (Emex australis), but those were called "thorny devil eggs" as a part of the scam.
Thorny devils have been kept in captivity.[1]

You'd think Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards would be a safe haven from scandals and drama, but time and time again, the show has seen its fair share of both.
From behind the scenes chatter to eye-popping performances, we've wrangled up the most talked about moments -- plus some of our favorite celebrity slimes.
The Kids' Choice Awards' Most Talked About Moments
By PopEater Staff Posted Mar 26th 2010 04:21PM
2010: Sandra Bullock Up For Best Actress
The timing of Jesse James' still-breaking infidelity scandal couldn't have come at a worse time for the recent Oscar winner, and she's already confirmed she won't be attending this weekend's festivities. Still, we can't help but think maybe a little slime to the face would have done her some good. (She loved it last year.) Interestingly, until Thursday afternoon, Bullock's entry on the Kids' Choice Web site had this "fun fact": "Sandra is happily married to the tattooed superstar motorcycle maker and monster mechanic Jesse James." It has since been altered, and now reads, "Sandra has designed special seat-belts so her pet dogs, Ruby and Poppy, can ride safely in her car."
2009: Pussycat Dolls 'Jai Ho'
The Pussycat Dolls aren't necessarily the kid-friendliest group in town, but the girls did their best to cover up and had the crowd of screaming prepubescents on their feet.
2009: Rihanna & Chris Brown Up For Best Song
There was a lot of buzz last year over whether or not either nominee would show up at Nickelodeon's yearly slime fest. There was also backlash over the fact that Chris Brown was even nominated following allegations he assaulted Rihanna. (At the time of last year's broadcast, he had yet to be formally charged.) Even though he was leading the online votes for Best Song, Brown was pulled out of the running at the last minute. Ultimately, it didn't even matter; Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' won -- an outcome even Kanye West could be proud of.
2009: Michael Phelps Up For Best Athlete
The 2009 KCAs definitely had their fair share of controversies, and not even the sports lineup was safe. Nominee Michael Phelps made headlines early last year after photos of him smoking out of a bong surfaced, an incident that is still costing the athlete lucrative endorsement deals. However, just like Best Song, Nickelodeon big wigs gave a sigh of relief when Peyton Manning won out over the ganja-loving merman.
1999: Britney Spears Lets It All Hang Out
Let's rewind a bit back to the turn of the century. The Y2K apocalypse was upon us and America's Sweetheart, Britney Spears, had just burst on the scene -- and left little to the imagination during her performance at the children's award show. Check out her rendition of 'Baby One More Time...' that had everyone talking:
Harrison Ford and Shia LeBeouf (2008)
Jack Black and Orlando Bloom (2008)
Johnny Depp (2006)
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (2004)
The Kids' Choice Awards air this Saturday on Nickelodeon.

Meet the (real) new authorities in the Ukraine, example #1 (UPDATED!)
Who of you wants to take my assault-rifle away?
Who of you wants to take my pistol?
Who wants to take away my pistol, my assault-rifle or my knives?
If somebody wants to take them, let him come near and try!
Needless to say, none of the politicians in the room said a single word.
This is the new regime in the Ukraine. And this is not going to change any time soon. The Ukrainian military is a joke and exists only on paper. The Ukrainian police has almost totally vanished and the only force which now has a monopoly on violence are the neo-Nazis.
The US and EU can really be proud of themselves. This is indeed a stunning success for "democracy".
The Saker
UPDATE: Here is an interesting bio of that "gentleman": (thanks to "ELS"!!!)
One of the notorious guerilla fighters of the Ukrainian origin in Chechnya, Olexander Muzychko (aka criminal leader Sasha Biliy) today is heading a brigade of "Pravyi Sector", the radical militant driving force of the ongoing coup d'Etat in Kiev. According to his "official" biography (link in Russian), in 1994 he was awarded by the then top commander of terrorist Ichkeria enclave Dzhohar Dudayev with the order "Hero of Nation" for "outstanding military successes against Russian troops". His "military skills" were quite specific: he used to lure the Russian units operating in remote Chechen locations to guerilla ambushes. Then he personally participated in tortures and beheadings of the captured Russian soldiers.

What else is new? If you want to taste this kind of medicin, go to Croatia (an EU member(!) ) and say publically that you're a Serb. Good luck:). Same applies to Russians in Baltic micro-fasciost states that serve as launchpads for ZATO missiles pointed to Russia.
Hence, those who brought this scurge upon the Ukraine knew much too well what they were doing. Terror has always been their only weapon. WWII continues against Russia. So far, it has been won by the nazis & their handlers, zionazis, in most of Europe, and is approaching Russia; it's main objective.
What's to be done? It can be ignored, but the price of getting rid of it is going to be much, much higher later on.
Stolipin once said: "Give Russia twenty years of peace, and you won't recognize her." Little did he know that the enemies were listening.
In fact, this reminds of the rise of nazis in 1933. Zionazis are creating another iron fist to strike Russia with, but this time out of the corrupted Slavic material which has proven to be the most effective given the oportunity. A win-win situation for the zionist nazis. - 25 February, 2014 18:39

hi Saker,
well, what a typical example of the "new order's" oportunistic & sheeple servants. as always, primitive & dumb up to the point of some kind of archaic cartoon parody...
but yeah, they are the loudest intersection of the extremism & general stupidity.
if such people are creating even a local "history", it's indeed disgusting example of human "evolution" & intelligence (=reflection)...
as a citizen of former Czechoslovakia, i'm well aware of many of our pathetic local "dead corpses" (e.g. Sudeten cleansing by similar monkeys as in the video, etc) in our "national" Pandora's box. and therefore it's boring & true at the same time, how the history repeats. and the words "nothing new under the sun" are sounding with the last eschatologic pages of the History being turned over... sorry, i simply like Berdajev & Sestov... :)
history is fascinating and disgusting trip to a kind of collective subconciousness with notorious stereotypes & schemes dying off & raising up again...

The Crimean parliament will convene Feb. 26 to discuss Ukraine's political situation, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Ukrainian Service reported Feb. 25. The speaker of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, said he did not recognize the new Ukrainian parliament's laws. The decision to meet came after several hundred pro-Russian activists blocked the parliament building Feb. 25 and demanded an extraordinary session to discuss holding a referendum on independence. Crimea has historically belonged to Russia, and the Russians in Crimea did not feel that demonstrators in Kiev represented them.

"The US and EU can really be proud of themselves".
The Anglo-Saxon scum is as proud as in January 1933, when they succeeded to bury Weimar and lift their Nazi patsies to power who were programmed for war in the East. Details: http://guidopreparata.com/chpg/2CH-E-Con.pdf.
Their refreshingly pragmatic attitude allowed them to hire Reinhard Gehlen, Eastern front intelligence chief ("Fremde Heere Ost") after 1945 to build the BND, the CIA's German intel subsidiary.
Just to make sure that the Germans did not get to close to the Russians they had Theodor Oberlaender fired from government in the sixties. Oberlaender authored well known memoranda in 1943 in which he complained about the treatment of the Eastern peoples by Nazi occupiers (namely Erich Koch in the Ukraine).

Farmer's Markets and Outdoor Market Booths are becoming increasingly common as consumers around the nation embrace buying produce and other goods directly from local growers. Many counties and cities require produce sellers to hold special licenses, and all booths selling prepared foods need special permits.
Fort Lauderdale business-owners get most of their local licenses from Broward County. With licenses and permits on everything from auto mechanics to kosher foods, Broward County entrepreneurs are unlikely to get away with fewer than five licenses and permits. That's partly because the state provides a lot of central regulation too. Anyone setting up shop in Fort Lauderdale should be prepared for a fair amount of paperwork. Fort Lauderdale has long been centered around the tourism industry and houses a wide variety of businesses related to it. Additionally, the city's popularity with retirees has led to a significant medical presence in the area. Fort Lauderdale also has a major boating industry and a robust financial sector.

Mathilde on UNAIDS Mission to Liberia
Belgium's Princess Mathilde has undertaken a United Nations Mission to Liberia.
Mathilde was invited due to her role as special representative of UNICEF and UNAIDS, to raise awareness for the problems around "children and HIV/AIDS". The mission focusses mainly on childern and women. Apart from visits to hospitals, schools and several projects, princess Mathilde was also present at the launch of the new 'Agenda for Accelerating Country Action on Women, Girls, Gender Equality and HIV' in Liberia. She also met Liberia's president Mrs. Ellen Johnson.

Relation between near–field and far–field properties of plasmonic Fano resonances |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 22, pp. 22167-22175 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2230 KB)
The relation between the near–field and far–field properties of plasmonic nanostructures that exhibit Fano resonances is investigated in detail. We show that specific features visible in the asymmetric lineshape far–field response of such structures originate from particular polarization distributions in their near–field. In particular we extract the central frequency and width of plasmonic Fano resonances and show that they cannot be directly found from far–field spectra. We also address the effect of the modes coupling onto the frequency, width, asymmetry and modulation depth of the Fano resonance. The methodology described in this article should be useful to analyze and design a broad variety of Fano plasmonic systems with tailored near–field and far–field spectral properties.

Using a Patient Contract During Buprenorphine Treatment
Discussing rules and expectations is an important step when starting a patient on buprenorphine treatment. Some providers choose to use a printed patient contract that clearly spells out the rules and terms of treatment. Such a document protects both the patient and the provider; it explains privacy and confidentiality and outlines the patient's responsibilities in treatment, as well as the consequences for breaking the rules of the contract.
When writing a patient contract, be sure to spell out the offenses that are allowable to some extent (e.g., a patient who misses one appointment can continue in treatment) and those that are not allowable (e.g., a patient who steals from or vandalizes the office will be discharged from treatment).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Commission for Certification in Geriatric Pharmacy (CCGP) is a non-profit organization which has established a voluntary professional certification program for pharmacists. Pharmacists must pass a written examination to become certified and must re-certify every five years. Candidates are expected to be knowledgeable about principles of geriatric pharmacotherapy and the provision of pharmaceutical care to the elderly.
A pharmacist who is certified in geriatric pharmacy practice is designated as a "Certified Geriatric Pharmacist," and may use the acronym "CGP" as a suffix to their personal name.
CCGP was founded in 1997 by the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists and R. Tim Webster, and it is based in Alexandria, Virginia. As of 2007, CCGP has certified pharmacists in Australia, Canada, Panama, Puerto Rico, Sweden, Singapore, United States and Japan.

Once, a blonde decided to ride a horse. She was riding quite pleasantly on a trail in a field until the horse speeded up. He was going faster and faster, and soon she felt herself slipping. Her head was just about to hit the ground... Then the Wal Mart manager ran to turn off the horsey ride.

I have not tried it yet but my rats at work complain that the injection spot is super sore the day after! Anyone else have this problem?
I have not tried it yet but my rats at work complain that the injection spot is super sore the day after! Anyone else have this problem?
I used both raws test e and test prop. Never had a problem. Only time I had a problem was when my wife gave me a pin with 3 ml in it and was in a hurry. So she did not take her time injecting me. Hurt like a bitch for two weeks.
I think Raws is taking over Anything Goes.
Is the test E, the paramount brand?
Or was it unlabeled.
Not having any issues w it. First shot was sore but after that no pain.
Here's a suggestion: stop injecting fucking rats. What are u trying to do? Create uber jacked killer rodents to take over the world?
Going on 2+ weeks minimal pip. Doing eod w/npp so test amount is small 1/2 ml.
I'm using test 350 no label from 2 mos. ago- smoothest i"ve ever done. glutes , Quads, no problems. horny as a fuckin bull!!!
Paramount 300 too no problems at all just wet dreams and hard hammer all day
same here, leaves them more sore than any other brand of the same product
hate it or love it....
I am on 3rd week so it is I can't really tell yet.
Not sore though
All of this negativity over the past few months has me paranoid about my Test-E and EQ that I'll be starting soon...
Both are Paramount...Hope they are G2G
The labels from him are just that. I think it all is GTG but I got about 2 weeks before it supposed to kick in. I will let you all know
Im on my second shot no soreness at all

Senior diplomats from the European Union (E.U.) on Monday debated a response to a week of violence in Egypt that has left more than 600 dead, including proposals to halt aid programmes and suspend arms shipments.
The meeting of ambassadors came a day after top E.U. officials said the 28-nation bloc will "urgently review" its relations with Egypt.
While the E.U. lacks the military muscle that gives the U.S. a special position in dealing with Egypt, European nations are a major source of aid, loans, business and tourists for Egypt.
The E.U. last year pledged €5 billion ($6.7 billion) in loans and aid for Egypt. The flow of aid money, however, could be abruptly halted in the wake of the clashes between security forces and supporters of deposed President Mohamed Morsy since last week.
Germany's Development Minister, Dirk Niebel, told RBB Inforadio on Monday that Egypt will get "no further pledges this year" of aid from Berlin and added he has decided "that we won't negotiate this year" on any debt relief for the country.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday also floated the idea to halt previously approved arms shipments to Egypt as part of a coordinated E.U. response.
The diplomats meeting weren't expected to make decisions yet, but rather to take stock of the situation and lay the groundwork for a coordinated response, an E.U. official said. The policy response will then likely be finalised by the end of the week.
The E.U. in a statement released on Sunday said that it is the responsibility of the Egyptian Army and the interim government to end the violence and to embark on political dialogue to restore democracy, warning that the people's calls for fundamental rights "cannot be disregarded, much less washed away in blood."
Germany has issued travel warnings following last week's violence. For Egypt, tourists from European nations account for more than 70 per cent of arrivals. If beefed-up travel warnings from many E.U. countries were issued and kept in place, Egypt's economy would nose-dive which could in turn fuel further social unrest.
"In view of the situation, the fewer Germans there are in Egypt, the better and safer," German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said in Berlin.

Summer concert series returns to MacGregor Park
The Reminisants have been performing across New England for four decades and have shared the stage with a number of musical legends, including the Beach Boys, Felix Cavaliere and his Rascals, and the Crystals.
The music gets a little heavier and louder when the Royal Pains take the stage on Thursday, July 25, performing songs from hard rock giants like AC/DC, Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, and Black Sabbath.
August concerts include Pony Express bringing country music back to Derry on Tuesday, Aug. 6, and the Lisa Guyer Band, formerly known as Mama Kicks, taking the stage on Thursday, Aug. 8.

since my family lives so far away, we celebrated christmas over thanksgiving. so they all chipped in and got me the hero HD camera:
the video is really good, but it seems to have a hard time showing details in shadows. there is an exposure setting so i will have to play with that to see if i can get more detail in darker areas. the audio comes across pretty good too, but you can easily pick up wind noise. there is, however, also a full enclosure case so i think that would block out some of it. i picked up a 32gb sd card for the camera, but i may have to get additional cards. 9 minutes of video took about 1.5gb so thats about 192 total minutes of video. although... thats longer than the battery lasts.
anyway, here are some videos of the camera mounted to my rc rock crawler and on my tacoma.

New York governor trails rival Cuomo in latest poll
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Governor David Paterson would lose the next election for governor to state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, a potential Democratic rival, by a margin of 53 percent to 27 percent, a new poll said on Tuesday.
Only last month, Paterson would have edged past Cuomo by 35 percent to 33 percent, according to the Loudonville, New York-based Siena Research Institute.
Financial analysts scrutinize polls to assess whether governors have enough clout to persuade legislatures to approve their budgets, and New York's $14 billion deficit is one of the biggest among all states.
Paterson blamed his drop in the poll on his handling of a replacement for U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who became Secretary of State.
"I think that there was a point in that process where it started to become a bit of a circus and I probably just should have ended it," he told Albany reporters.
The governor chose upstate Representative Kirsten Gillibrand as the new U.S. senator after Caroline Kennedy withdrew amid a media frenzy.
Paterson also trails former Republican New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani by 51 percent to 36 percent, according to the poll, which had a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.
In January, Paterson led Giuliani by 44 percent to 42 percent. The new February 16 to 18 poll included 622 voters.
"The good news for the Governor is that the election is more than a year and a half away. The bad news is there is a lot of catching up to do and it's hard work trying to restore voters' faith," said Steven Greenberg, a poll spokesman.

The threat of a government shutdown intensified Tuesday as House Republican leaders moved toward stripping funding from President Obama's landmark health-care initiative and setting up a stalemate with the Democratic Senate.
House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) had hoped to keep the government open past Sept. 30 with relatively little fuss. But roughly 40 conservatives revolted. After a strategy session Tuesday, Boehner and his leadership team were being pushed into a more confrontational strategy that would fund the government into the new fiscal year only if Democrats agreed to undermine Obama's signature legislative achievement.

Fred Hess Big Band
Although Fred Hess has released a number of excellent small-ensemble recordings, the saxophonist's big-band recordings are equally captivating. As with his previous two big-band outings, Speak borrows from big bands of the past while also looking toward the future. Some of the area's finest musicians are on board here, like Ron Miles, John Gunther, Peter Sommer and Greg Garrison, but Hess also enlisted the remarkable New York-based drummer Matt Wilson and trombonist John Fedchock, who delivers a first-rate solo on the opening track, "Blues for Bonnie Belle," a cut dedicated to Hess's cat. The sixteen-piece band, conducted by Tyler Gilmore, does a remarkable job weaving through such intricate arrangements as "How 'Bout Time," which unfolds from several motivic fragments. The group borrows from Thelonious Monk's "Evidence" on the lively "Finding the Evidence," while "Psalm to Hymn" is an homage to John Coltrane, opening with a slow modal theme, then swinging something fierce. Hess and company have outdone themselves on this one.

Chris, Dave, and Aziz "Ball So Hard" at Radio City
Kings of ComedyChris Rock and Aziz Ansari hangout backstage with Dave Chappelle after Chappelle's big Radio City comeback.
Comedians gotta stick together, and that's definitely true for comedy powerhouses Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and Aziz Ansari.
Rock and Ansari supported fellow comedian and friend Chappelle during his big performance at Radio City Music Hall Wednesday night. It was the first of an eight-show run at the legendary venue and Chappelle's first large show in New York City in nearly 10 years.
After the show, Rock and Ansari hung out backstage with Chappelle and snapped awesome pic of the three comedians. It blows our minds how much comedic starpower can fit in one selfie.
Not only did they hang out backstage, but The Daily Beast reported that Rock and Ansari sat together in the audience and distracted a few people in rows in front of them. But the audience shouldn't have been surprised to see Rock and Ansari there showing their support for Chappelle. Last year, Rock and Chappelle performed an impromptu set at NYC's Comedy Cellar and discussed touring together.
Rock and Ansari weren't the only celebs in the audience—"Veep's" Julia Louis-Dreyfus was also there to join in the laughs.
She captioned her Instagram photo: "So psyched. About to see Dave Chappelle in NYC!"
Chappelle's show at Radio City is quite a hot ticket—it's the second most expensive comedy tour of 2014. During his set last night, Chappelle riffed on the possibility of "Half-Baked 2," his family and religion, bantered with the front row of his audience, and, of course, addressed his abrupt exit from his hit Comedy Central series "Chappelle's Show."
How'd Chappelle do? The reviews are positive so far—inlcuding a rave from Louis-Dreyfus.

The Karnataka government and the State unit of the Congress are in a dicey situation on the Cauvery issue, with the Union Law Ministry giving its stamp of approval to the draft of the notification on the final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal which has been on hold for over five years since February 5, 2007.
Sources in the State Secretariat told The Hindu that the Karnataka legal team headed by Fali S. Nariman reportedly conveyed to the State government that nothing much could be done to prevent the final award of the CWDT being notified and should the government work against the observations of the Supreme Court, the legal team would withdraw from the cases pertaining to the Cauvery issue.
The Supreme Court has suggested to the Union government to notify the award at the earliest.
The ball is now in the court of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh – whether to yield to the demand of the State government, including that of the Union Minister's from Karnataka or to that of the lower riparian State of Tamil NaduAn all-party team led by Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar is expected to call on the Prime Minister shortly.

Reporters on the Job
Heng Sinith/AP
• The World Is Watching: Americans – notoriously ignorant of other countries' politics – are often surprised by how much citizens of other countries know about the American political scene, not to mention the country's history. And in a presidential election year – one with both African-American and female candidates – interest is particularly high in many countries, as a Monitor roundup from several countries shows (see story). Reporters from around the globe have been traipsing around Iowa and New Hampshire, and media at home have been tracking exchanges.
Mariah Blake, who is based in Hamburg, Germany, reports that Germans have been transfixed by Democratic candidate Barack Obama. Some Germans, she notes, have found that they didn't know as much about Mr. Obama as they would like and are worried about his inexperience. But the candidate has also received his share of comparisons to John F. Kennedy, whose "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in West Berlin in 1963 was seen as emblematic of Germany's deep solidarity with the United States in the post-World War II era.
Mariah notes that the enduring reverence for Kennedy in Germany gives this comparison a lot of historical weight. "Behind the rhetoric," she says, "is the hope that the strong but fraying ties to the United States will be mended.
In Paris, Robert Marquand met one man who had not heard of Obama until about five days ago – at which point he became an enthusiast, noting that he was "sympa" – or kind. And "everyone already knows Hillary," this man told Bob.

Top Five Small-Cap Stocks
Each business day, TheStreet.com Ratings compiles a list of the top five stocks in five categories -- fast-growth, all-around value, large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap -- and publishes these lists in the Ratings section of our Web site.
This list is based on data from the close of the previous trading session. Today, small-cap stocks are in the spotlight. These are stocks of companies that have market capitalizations of between $50 million and $500 million that rank near the top of all stocks rated by our proprietary quantitative model, which looks at more than 60 factors.
The stocks must also be followed by at least one financial analyst who posts estimates on the Institutional Brokers' Estimate System. They are ordered by their potential to appreciate.
Note that no provision is made for off-balance-sheet assets such as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of investments, market value of real estate or contingent liabilities that might affect book value. This could be material for some companies with large underfunded pension plans.
American Ecology (ECOL - Get Report) is one of the nation's oldest providers of radioactive, hazardous and industrial waste management services. The company's customers are commercial and government entities, such as nuclear power plants, medical and academic institutions, steel mills, refineries and chemical production facilities. A significant portion of the company's revenue from operating disposal facilities -- those that actively receive and treat waste materials -- comes from discrete, one-time cleanup projects, which may span weeks, months or years depending on project scope. American Ecology's Non-Operating Disposal Facilities segment consists of facilities that no longer receive waste materials but continue to be monitored and maintained as part of the treatment of previously received waste materials. Other services include such services as waste stabilization, encapsulation and chemical oxidation. We have rated American Ecology a buy since October 2005. Strengths such as revenue growth, a largely solid financial position and good cash flow from operations influenced this rating. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, American Ecology's revenues rose 21% year over year. This growth appears to have trickled down the bottom line, improving earnings per share (EPS) 29% in the same period. In fact, the company has demonstrated a pattern of positive EPS growth over the past two years. A slight improvement in return on equity can be seen as a modest strength for the company. Finally, while total debt has increased slightly, it is still at an almost negligible level. We feel that the company's strengths outweigh its low profit margins. Furthermore, for 2008, the market expects an improvement in full-year EPS to $1.20 from $1.07 in 2007. Finally, the stock has surged 29% over the past year, and while almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, we believe that American Ecology should continue to move higher despite a very nice gain in the past year. Exactech (EXAC - Get Report) develops, markets, distributes and sells orthopedic implant devices, related surgical instrumentation and biologic materials to hospitals and physicians in the U.S. and 27 other countries. The company produces knee systems and other joint-replacement implant products. Its revenues derive primarily from sales of its knee- and hip-joint replacement systems; however, revenues from the worldwide distribution of biologic materials have increased as a percentage of total revenue. Exactech has been rated a buy since March 2007, primarily because of a strong financial performance, higher guidance and a currently favorable industry trend. In the third quarter of 2007, net sales increased 23% year over year to $30 million, largely because of the success of new products and continued growth from existing products. Exactech performed in both domestic and international markets on the revenue front; the company reported a 24% increase in revenue from the domestic market and a 21% increase in revenue from international markets. Management raised its fiscal year 2007 guidance and now expects revenue for 2007 between $120.5 million and $122.5 million, with earnings per share in the range of 78 cents to 79 cents.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Cobbler Accepted Into Ubuntu Archive
"Cobbler now in the ubuntu archive...and it actually works!," said Robbie Williamson, Ubuntu Server Team Manager at Canonical.
Cobbler, a linux installation server originally developer by Red Hat's Emerging Technologies group to accelerate setup of network installation environments, has been accepted into the Ubuntu Archive according to Chuck Short on his blog earlier today.
For those who want to use Cobbler on Ubuntu, Short gives you all the instructions to install Cobbler, get an Ubuntu server Iso, configure Cobbler, and import the ISO. "And essentially you are ready to deploy Ubuntu Server via netboot," says Short. The Ubuntu Server Team wants to know about your experience with using Cobbler on Ubuntu and Short encourages users to file a bug if they have any issues while using it.

This is the most amazing hand lotion. We live in the northeast and my husband has suffered with cracked fingers every winter. He used this lotion 2 times daily and NO SPLITS OCCURRED that winter. The trick is the SPF 15 in the lotion. love it!!

It is an excellent product it does exactly what it says it does. Thanks balm barr been using it since 1975 again thanks and my skin does too.

It actually prevented my wrinkles and age spots. Definitely a buy worth thousand comforts. Now its part of my vanity case.
I have a skin irritation (contact dermatitis) and this is the only cream that give me relief. This OTC Store is a great place to purchase it because it may be hard to find locally.
Have used this for years. Fantastic for hands, legs, and dry feet. I have found it to be better than any other product, including ones recommended by my dermatologist.

How much is this Champagne worth?? [moved from California board]

I have a case of Hanns Kornell Third Generation 25.4 oz 1980 bottles of champagne and I was wondering how much it's worth. I know I should drink it and enjoy it but I really just want to see what I have. There's 11 bottles of Sern Trocken and 1 bottle of the Muscat Alexandria, you would be a great help if you know!
First of all, you should know that the name of the Hanns Kornell wine in question -- at least 11 of the 12 bottles -- is "Sehr Trocken," meaning "very dry, not "Sern."
Secondly, the original retail price was somewhere around $10-13, if it was that much. That is, at the winery you'd probably pay $13 or so, but at retail, you could find it for under $10.
Third, check the back label of the Sehr Trocken and see if a) it's produced from 100 percent Riesling, and b) if there is a disgorgement date shown. Those were the best bottlings of Sehr Trocken, and they might have some value. If those two things are not shown on the back label -- and I fear they changed the wine before 1980 -- then that was after the winery began to cut corners in an attempt to avoid the inevitable . . . and it would be worth significantly less.
Finally, Hanns Kornell wasn't considered a top California producer of sparkling wine since the 1960s. I cannot imagine that, under any circumstances, the wines are worth very much except to a collector of old California wines -- and since 1980 was well past Kornell's "heyday," I wouldn't expect very much.
Since you know you should drink and enjoy, I would suggest that you do just that. Except that -- honestly -- I'm not sure the wines would still be very enjoyable. The non-Riesling Sehr Trocken was never meant for aging after it was disgorged, and the Muscat was even less capable of post-release cellaring.
