The West Coast appears to be the best coast—for stock-picking, that is. As has been the case since mid-2011, most of the big-name Wall Street banks have been bested by Western regional brokerages in our semi-annual Barron's-Zacks ranking of their stock selections.
Tops in the latest contest is little McAdams Wright Ragen, whose focus list took first place in the six months through December, with a 13.8% return. For the third time in a row, the Seattle-based broker won the 60-month race, too, producing a 38% return. (See table below.) Those two results dusted the S&P's 5.95% and 8.59% returns over the six-month and five-year stretches.
Says Sid Parakh, McAdam Wright Ragen's acting research director: "Many of the companies we put on the list we never covered previously." Josh Gray for Barron's
McAdams rounded out its strong showing by garnering second place in the other two rankings, returning 18% for 12 months and 43% over 36 months. Its scores are all the more impressive as they cover both a bear- and a bull-market period. Not too shabby.
Los Angeles-based Wedbush Securities finished at the top of the 36-month ranking, though it did slip back from stronger finishes in the past two rankings. Nevertheless, like McAdams, Wedbush accomplished a "three-peat," taking home the three-year gold medal for the third consecutive time, with a 73% return that smoked its nearest competitor and the S&P's 36%.
The L.A.-based broker also had decent 12- and 60-month showings. Over six months, however, its 3% return trailed both that of the average broker and the market.
Every six months, Barron's and Zacks rank the best stock picks, or focus lists, of America's stock brokers, some of them famed Wall Street names, others less well known.
While Goldman Sachs GS -0.8585488430530834% Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Goldman's "conviction list," as it's called, returned 19%, besting both the total returns of the average broker and the market.
In general, our surveys have indicated that the average broker tends to outpace the market during bullish phases, as was the case in 2009 and 2010 and the last half of 2012. In the more uncertain times of 2011 and 2012's first half, that's not always the case.
In the one- and three-year contests, the benchmark index outpaced the brokers. But in 2012's final six months, the average broker's gain of 7% beat the S&P 500's advance. However, since mid-2011, the average broker's focus list's returns haven't kept up with the broad market.
CHANGES IN FORTUNE among a couple of sectors last year made stock-picking treacherous, and brokers who skillfully navigated the shifting currents did well. "Energy was a real downer" in the first half, recalls Zacks equity strategist Tracey Ryniec. In fact, it was the period's worst sector, off 3.4%, versus the market's 8.3% rise. Yet in the second half, energy—led by refiners—rose 6%, topping the market's 4.7% price return and 5.95% gain with dividends.
Tech and health care, she adds, were the mirror images of energy. They climbed 13% and 10%, respectively, in the first half, but weakened in the second, with health care matching the market, and tech up less than 1%.
What's perhaps most unusual about McAdams Wright Ragen's success is that it employs only five stock analysts and, unlike the large banks and even some other regional brokers, doesn't cover every sector. "We don't look at sectors, we look at stocks," says Sid Parakh, McAdam's acting director of research. The Pacific Northwest broker favors just 20-25 names at any time, and "many of the companies we put on the list we never covered previously," he adds. Parakh says these companies are in good businesses, have attractive valuations, strong managements, and solid balance sheets.

Goldman's 2012 victory came on stock choices in the tech, media, and telecom groups, as well as from energy and non-bank financials in the second half, says Robert Boroujerdi, co-head of Americas equity research. An underweighting in utilities also helped.

Honorable mentions again go to regional broker Edward Jones, a silver medalist in the 60-month contest. The St. Louis-based firm's picks returned 18%, beating the average broker's selections and the market.
Edward Jones has been a consistent proponent of the conservative buy-and-hold strategy involving large-cap, quality stocks that pay growing dividends. Dave Powers, the brokerage's director of equity research, says it looks for shares that minimize downside risk in tough times, while also holding out the promise of participating in rallies.

Unlike its peers, Schwab's 100-name and sector-neutral list uses a mostly quantitative methodology that looks for cheap stocks with improving fundamentals and market momentum. Schwab's director of equity ratings, Greg Forsythe, says the strategy is suggesting that economically sensitive stocks like International Paper ip 0.2898025719978265% International Paper Co.

The market didn't like those stocks in the first half of 2012 but did in the second half. As the economic picture becomes more clear, investors become more risk-seeking, he adds. Stock picks in refining, auto components, mortgage-related banks, and disk-drive manufacturing helped Schwab's results.
Among the losers was Raymond James, formerly Morgan Keegan, which finished last over both six and 12 months.

New Constructs CEO David Trainer says his list was punished by "getting caught in some value traps" like Dell (DELL), which fell sharply in 2012. However, the stock remains on his list and is rallying in 2013, on hope for a leveraged buyout. Asked to comment on Morgan Stanley's results, a spokeswoman says: "The majority of our underperformance took place in 2009, when the high-quality, defensive names that make up our portfolio were not in demand."
One caveat: As Barron's has noted in the past, most brokers go through hot and cold streaks, so it pays to look for durable, long-term outperformance.

The 50-something Narmada Ekka (Ekka means elder sister in Gondi language) is one of the most dreaded woman Maoist commanders in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli, one of the 27 districts in the country worst affected by left-wing extremism.
The arrests of JNU student Hem Mishra and former journalist Prashant Rahi, alleged couriers for Maoists, were linked to her, say Gadchiroli police.
Narmada is said to have arranged for other couriers to bring Mishra and Rahi to Abujhmaad in Chhattisgarh, where the top Maoist leadership is reportedly hiding.
Police claimed Mishra and Rahi were carrying coded information for Maoist chief Ganapathy as the leadership tries to hold a major meeting of cadres. The last such meeting was held in 2009.
"The two men arrested with Mishra have confessed before a magistrate that Narmada sent them to receive the JNU student. She is a crucial link," said Suvez Haque, Superintendent of Police (Gadchiroli).
"Narmada Ekka has risen in Maoist ranks. She is one of the seniormost members of Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DSZC) comprising nine divisions spread over eastern Maharashtra and south Chhattisgarh. She used to head the military wing of DSZC but now, due to poor health and age, she has been given the task of recruiting tribal women. She has high blood pressure and is a diabetic. She heads Dandakaranya Krantikari Adivasi Sangathan," said a senior police officer in Gadchiroli.
He said Narmada can speak around 12 languages, including Gondi, Oriya, Telugu and English.
Said to be a postgraduate, she belongs to Guntur in Andhra Pradesh , like most CPI (Maoist) central committee members.
She has been an active Maoist since 1985 but no security agency has her photograph. The description they have from surrendered and arrested Maoists includes the fact that she has spots on her face and body.

Man dies after being shot by Phoenix police officer
PHOENIX -- Phoenix police say a man has died after he was shot while attempting to assault an officer seated in his patrol vehicle.
Police spokesman Steve Martos said a sergeant was doing paperwork Sunday morning while sitting in a parking lot near McDowell Road and 58th Avenue when the suspect walked up.
Martos said the sergeant rolled down the window to see if the man needed help.
Martos said an altercation followed and the suspect reached into the car and the officer fired his gun.
The suspect was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but he died Sunday evening, police said.
Martos said the sergeant, who is a 29-year-veteran of the Phoenix force, sustained a minor injury in the scuffle.
Authorities have not released the name of the officer or the suspect.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Oil firm called to explain illegal flaring
Flaring illegally at Ngaere for 10 monthsHELEN HARVEY
Relevant offers
After flaring illegally at Ngaere for 10 months, Tag Oil is seeking permission to continue the practice until March.
A hearing was held at the Stratford District Council yesterday in front of commissioner Mick Lester, to look at Tag Oil's application to continue flaring, which came after the council called them to task.
Under its resource consent the oil company is allowed to flare only at its Cheal A site in response to an emergency situation.
Giving evidence on behalf of Tag Oil, Andrea Smith said that when the initial consent was granted last year, the existing infrastructure connecting Cheal A to the Waihapa gas-processing plant was being used and there was no need to flare.
"However, a number of unforeseen factors beyond Tag's control, including changes in ownership of the Waihapa gas processing facility, resulting in a shutdown of continuous gas transportation and a substantial increase in solution gas from increased oil production, resulted in nearly continuous flaring at the Cheal A site for 10 months."
The council then issued the oil company with an abatement notice and Tag applied for a variation on the conditions of its resource consent.
Mike Avery, council director community and environmental services, said the flaring had been at the upper end of the spectrum and going into Stratford in the early morning was like going into the "bowels of Mordor".
"Under certain atmospheric conditions the glow was amazing to see and it was having a significant effect on the surroundings," he said.
One of the conditions the council has imposed if the flaring is allowed is for a two-metre bund to be built around the flare pit.
This would keep a tight limit on the flare so it would be little more than a pilot flare, Mr Avery said.
Three landowners whose properties are near the Cheal A site made submissions opposing the continued flaring.
Speaking on behalf of the Morrison family, Sarah Roberts said there had been significant light disturbance from the flaring for many months and it had taken a long time for the council to deal with the matter.
"We do not believe it is appropriate to allow them to flare continuously for several more months," she said. The oil and gas should stay in the ground until the consenting issues and infrastructure relating to flaring and production were resolved.
Grant Brunton told the hearing that he wanted production to stop until Cheal A was a fully functional site. The surrounding environment was rural production land but it felt more like a semi-industrial area.
Mr Brunton said that because of Tag's past actions, he was sceptical that the flaring would stop in March.
David Dent said the oil company was aware its actions were affecting landowners and there needed to be more communication to find common ground.
Tag Oil was taking measures to ensure that the effects of the flaring were minimised, Mrs Smith said.
These would include the construction of a bund around the flare pit, scaling back production to minimise the volume of gas and continuing negotiations with third-party processors to send gas to Waihapa.

Ask questions, if you are on the phone with a hotel operator and you are trying to find the cheapest ask about the price. See if there are any discounts you can get, for example, airline, part of their reward program or senior citizen. If you are looking on the internet they usually have the cheapest prices around, plus when you call they will give any extra discounts. So take your time when finding a cheap hotel room. And do not get the first one that you find, shop around and you will find what you are looking for.
You use motels when you're home away from home. Whether you're on a business trip or a getaway, hotels and motels alike are places you can rest for a reasonable fee. Getting a room is the best way to guarantee you a place to stay while you are out and away from home. Likely complete with both bed and shower, you can stay at a hotel for prolong periods of time should the need arise. Television sets are seen in most rooms, and some are even sporting internet access. Customers can surf the web via Wi-Fi if they brought with them a wireless card or a laptop.

When reserving a hotel room in Fantasy Hotel In West Virginia there are generally a few things to keep in mind. It is important to plan ahead and sometimes even formulate a backup plan if planning to stay in a hotel or motel room. Sometimes regardless if a hotel or motel room is booked way ahead of time problems may arise causing a delay that makes the room unavailable. This sort of thing happens to individuals all of the time. A room is booked way ahead of time and when the individual or family arrives the room for some reason is not ready. This could be due to housekeeping not making it to clean the room in time or a number of other various reasons. That is why it is important to remember while booking a hotel or motel room to formulate a plan for everyone involved so that in the event they arrive and the room is not ready there is another place to go.

SCSI Multi-Queue Performance Appears Great For Linux 3.17
Published on 18 June 2014 06:22 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
1 Comment
Building upon the major
work for the multi-queue block layer, the SCSI multi-queue code is now in good shape according to its developers, is delivering very promising performance results, and should be merged into the Linux 3.17 kernel cycle.
SCSI-mq is too late for Linux 3.16, but it was
already anticipated it would come with Linux 3.17
. SCSI-mq is about plugging the SCSI kernel code to take advantage of the multi-queue block layer code. "This patch adds support for an alternate I/O path in the scsi midlayer which uses the blk-mq infrastructure instead of the legacy request code. Use of blk-mq is fully transparent to drivers." The multi-queue block layer was first introduced in Linux 3.14 and is now fairly complete with Linux 3.16. The multi-queue block layer allows balancing I/O workload across multiple CPU cores and supports multiple hardware queues along with other performance optimizations.
Christoph Hellwig mentioned
a few days ago
, "At this point the code is ready for merging and use by developers and early adopters. The core blk-mq code isn't that suitable for slow devices yet, mostly due to the lack of an I/O scheduler, but Jens is working on it. Similarly there is no dm-multipath support for drivers using blk-mq yet, but I'm working on it. It should also be noted that the code doesn't actually support multiple hardware queues or fine grained tuning of the blk-mq parameters yet. All these could be added fairly easily as soon as low-level drivers want to make use of them."
In terms of the performance potential of this new code to better take advantage of multiple CPU cores and designed to work with (eventually) multiple hardware queues too, "The usage of blk-mq dramatically decreases CPU usage under all workloads going down from 100% CPU usage that the old setup can hit easily to usually less than 20% for maxing out storage subsystems with 512byte reads and writes, and it allows to easily archive millions of IOPS."
Bart Van Assche responded today with
his performance figures
for the new multi-queue code. "A very significant performance improvement for multithreaded workloads with use_blk_mq=Y. As an example, the number of I/O operations per second reported for the random write test increased with 170%. That means 2.7 times the performance of use_blk_mq=N." A small performance improvement was also noted for the traditional SCSI mid-layer code.
The Linux 3.16 kernel is still the better parts of two months out from being released when the Linux 3.17 kernel cycle will then begin with its final release not being expected until the late September/October time-frame, but at least this SCSI-mq code with significant performance improvements for enterprise Linux SCSI users should make the wait worthwhile. There's also other likely
Linux 3.17 kernel
changes we have already been covering on Phoronix.

Rough Edges - I'm a Big Picture Guy and It's Gonna Be Hard Times for Them Squirrels
By Dave Coulter
I'm a busy guy. And like so many of my neighbors in Oak Park I try to keep up with current events, locally and beyond. These are important, complicated times and I find that being both informed and open-minded is the only way forward in our increasingly interconnected society. Just the other night President Obama asked that we all find innovative ways to contribute to the betterment of America and her citizens. Well, I may be a big picture kind of guy, but I still want to think globally and act locally.
I was pondering all of this as I looked out my back door. Sometimes the solution to our problems are right in front of us - or in this case, staring back at us from the top of the dumpster with shiny black eyes. Pull up a chair with me and grasp the potential synergy from the following five points:
One. Lately in Oak Park there has been a lot of talk about guns…
Two. Lately on the campaign trail certain candidates have proposed that children be put to work to make money and develop a work ethic…
Three. Lately there is a dearth of jobs, forcing many families to have less good food to eat…
Four. Society in general bemoans the trend of kids being disconnected from nature…
Five. There is one hell of a lot of squirrels in my back alley…
So here's my idea: Give all the kids pellet guns (or .22's) and let them start popping squirrels around town. (Why there were six or seven out there just a minute ago hanging around the dumpsters) The kids can learn how to gut and clean squirrels, and thereby learn a valuable life-skill as well as the provision of food for consumption by humans - or pets.
Along the way they will learn responsibility. How to hunt safely - especially important in densely populated neighborhoods. And think of the other potential positive spin-offs: kids with guns may be drawn to learn more about local trees and develop an affection for the urban forest that we all cherish. And the culinary arts beckon! How many of these youngsters will develop the desire to prepare free-range squirrel meat in new and delicious ways? Why couldn't a David Hammond someday give a fancy Oak Park bistro the thumbs up for their squirrelly fare? Bon apetit!
We just need to think outside the box and remember the innovation that made this country great.
Oh sure, there may be some growing pains. An armed youngster will invariably wing a visitor or two mistaking them - or their BMW- for overly big quarry. And there may be some resistance to the cross-cultural learning that the poaching of urban rodents necessitates. Will street-wise kids take to learnin' from seasoned rural instructors from south of I-80? Oh, and we Oak Parkers may want to ditch our tan and grey overcoats for the time being.
But I think if we consider the potential upsides here, it's too good of an idea to resist. I think it's a win-win, maybe even a win-win-win. Yes, it may be a bad day for squirrels, but it's a great day for Americans.

Plainsong (1999)
by Kent Haruf
Top Five Books of 2014 (500)

» 8 more
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Lives intertwine subtley and yet beautifully in intricate ways. A pregnant teenager, two churlish bachlor brothers, a teacher, and a couple of little boys left behind when their mother leaves their father. Full of extraordinary writing and wonderful storytelling. A book of redemption and forgiveness.
My favorite characters were the brothers, Harold and Raymond. I loved their relationship with one another, their awkwardness, their generosity, and their timid goodness.
"Plainsong" is the first in a trilogy all set in the fictionalized town of Holt, Colorado. I've already read the third "Benediction".
We follow several stories that are vaguely connected. A schoolteacher having trouble with a bad boy in school. The teacher's two young sons who experience the loss of their mother who have moved away because of a depression. A teenager who becomes pregnant - and find new hope staying with two elderly bachelor farmers.
That doesn't sound very exciting or special - I know. But it's the way Haruf "magically" with his sparse prose creates a very realistic tone - sometimes suspenseful and tragic, other times hopeful and funny. Not a sentence in this novel seems superfluous or out of place.
Tom Stechschulte narration in deep bass does a good job creating this special atmosphere. Specially his voice for the lovely grounded McPheron-brothers - providing us with most of the uplifting scenes in the book.
Beautifully written story about intersecting lives in a rural community set in Colorado. Haruf is a minimalist and uses sparce language to create three dimensional people in real situations.
If I could express myself as laconically as Kent Haruf, this review would already be over. Like Penelope Fitzgerald, Haruf says so much with so few words, yet never calls attention to the writing itself, gorgeous as it is. There is a plot here, and a compelling one, but the reason to pick up this novel is for the characters, the voice and the tone. You will not regret it. Unless you need lots and lots of words. Plainsong is all about the showing, and Haruf pulls back the curtain with extreme care.
Why did it take me so long to get my hands on this book? I actually think I had it confused with another title, until some recent LibraryThing "buzz" caused me to take a closer look. And it was brilliant.
Plainsong is about the lives of ordinary people living in fictional Holt County, Colorado. Each short chapter focuses on one of the central characters, which include high school teacher Tom Guthrie, Tom's young sons Ike & Bobby, 17-year-old Victoria Robideaux, and the cattle-farming McPheron brothers. Everyone is dealing with the cards life has dealt them, both good and bad, and everyone seems to have a burden to carry, alone. But gradually, their lives intersect, those burdens become shared, and the world is a better place as a result.
Others have compared Kent Haruf's writing to Marilynne Robinson (author of Gilead and Home), whose work I also love. Both authors have a way of immersing the reader in a slow, quiet story with surprising emotional impact. And Haruf's setting and characterizations are marvelous. I could picture the town, and feel the cold winter wind whipping across the prairie. My heart went out to characters dealing with troublesome life events, and I wanted to hug the McPheron brothers as their lives became richer by caring for others. I'm glad there are two more books in this series, because I'd be happy to sit a spell in Holt County.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375705856, Paperback)Plainsong, according to Kent Haruf's epigraph, is "any simple and unadorned melody or air." It's a perfect description of this lovely, rough-edged book, set on the very edge of the Colorado plains. Tom Guthrie is a high school teacher whose wife can't--or won't--get out of bed; the McPherons are two bachelor brothers who know little about the world beyond their farm gate; Victoria Roubideaux is a pregnant 17-year-old with no place to turn. Their lives parallel each other in much the same way any small-town lives would--until Maggie Jones, another teacher, makes them intersect. Even as she tries to draw Guthrie out of his black cloud, she sends Victoria to live with the two elderly McPheron brothers, who know far more about cattle than about teenage girls. Trying to console her when she think she's hurt her baby, the best lie they can come up with is this: "I knew of a heifer we had one time that was carrying a calf, and she got a length of fencewire down her some way and it never hurt her or the calf."
Holt, Colorado, is the kind of small town where everyone knows everyone's business before that business even happens. In a way, that's true of the book, too. There's not a lot of suspense here, plotwise; you can see each narrative twist and turn coming several miles down the pike. What Plainsong has instead is note-perfect dialogue, surrounded by prose that's straightforward yet rich in particulars: "a woman walking a white lapdog on a piece of ribbon," glimpsed from a car window; the boys' mother, her face "as pale as schoolhouse chalk"; the smells of hay and manure, the variations of prairie light. Even the novel's larger questions are sized to a domestic scale. Will Guthrie find love? Will Victoria run away with the father of her baby? Will the McPherons learn to hold a conversation? But in this case, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and Plainsong manages to capture nothing less than an entire world--fencing pliers, calf-pullers, and all. Kent Haruf has a gorgeous ear, and a knack for rendering the simple complex. --Mary Park

Starbucks Canada launches Blonde, says 40 per cent prefer light roast
Starbucks Canada launches Blonde roast, ponders beer and wine in stores
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Starbucks Canada says it's hoping to appeal to the 40 per cent of Canadian coffee drinkers who prefer 'Blonde.'
That's the name it has given to its new lighter roast coffee. The brand is aimed at customers who find its signature medium and dark roasts too bold for their taste.
"It's to meet a large unmet consumer demand," said Colin Moore, president of Starbucks Canada, said Wednesday. "About 40 per cent of coffee consumption is by people looking for a light roast profile. That's 10 million Canadians who, maybe, we haven't been reaching because they prefer a different style.
"Coffee is a lot like wine. Certain things pair well with it," he said, noting Blonde pairs well with chocolate and nuts.
Starting Feb. 7, customers will be able to buy brewed Blonde in Starbucks' stores across Canada, the company said
It's been available in whole bean and instant coffee form in Starbucks' stores since Jan. 10 and is scheduled to debut in Canadian grocery stores in bean, instant and K-Cup formats in March, the company said.
Starbucks Corp., the U.S. parent company is due to report its quarterly financial results Thursday. Sales rose in its last quarter, partly driven by the success of its loyalty card program.
The Canadian division doesn't report separate sales figures, but Moore said business has improved since the recession of 2008/09.
The Canadian unit is closely watching the parent company's experiment adding wine and beer to the menu, Moore said. If introduced here, it would likely start in Quebec, where consumers are accustomed to the European idea of finding wine and beer in coffee houses, he said.
The company, which entered Canada in 1987, opened 75 new restaurants in Canada last year, for a total of 1,130. That's down from a peak of 130 new restaurants per year in earlier years, though it still has room to grow in Quebec and Atlantic Canada, Moore said.
Moore said Starbucks hasn't felt the impact of the move last fall by Canada's two largest quick service restaurants, Tim Hortons and McDonald's Restaurants, into the espresso coffee category.

Comments about 'College enrollment drops after years of growth'

Working and living in poverty is an improved labor condition? Their aren't
that many new jobs to suck students out of the fake degree programs. College and
higher eduction has run out of jobs that never existed anyway. Colleges and
government were promising high paying jobs with a degree but illegal aliens are
still destroying the economy an prosperity of eduction claims.
A college education has no future and the economy is saturated with people with degrees and no jobs. All the experienced workers of manufacturing, industry, and corporations have been forced out of work and jobs that have been discontinued and there is no where to go.
This is a predictable event with the governemnt and business interference with education and OJT degrees. Workers taking on 3 or more jobs to sustain poverty does not leave time for costly education debts they are struggling to cope with.
The schools have served their purpose and the job market is saturated with marginal specialized education and the crash is coming. Maybe the colleges need to move their campuses to Mexico or China where progress and prosperity are on the increase.
