Lobo Skiing
Up Next: Lobos at NCAA Championships
When/Where: March 11-14, Bethel/Rumford, Maine
By Richard Stevens -- Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
The New Mexico Lobos almost landed a recruit of Petter Brenna's status once. He was a basketball player named Mose Malone. Big Moses decided to go NBA instead of go to college.
If the name Mose Malone pre-dates you, there are other ways to understand the quality of athlete Lobo coach Fredrik Landstedt snagged when he convinced Brenna to leave the ski slopes of Europe and try his hand, er, feet, on the slippery slopes of U.S. college skiing.
It would be like landing a Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) or Tim Tebow (Florida) in football. Or maybe a Kevin Durant (Texas) or J.J. Redick (Duke) in basketball. In golf, it might be like landing a Tiger Woods (Stanford). OK, Woods might be pushing it a bit, but you get the picture. Brenna is a program changer, cream of the cream.
"We knew he would be one of our better skiers ever," said Landstedt. "And the way it looks, he might be the best ever."
It's possible that Brenna might be the best recruit ever to sign for UNM in any sport. Possible. This guy could have gone to any program in the country. Not too many Lobos can say that.
Brenna is proving in his freshman year at UNM that he might be the best Alpine (downhill) skier in the nation. The UNM career mark for Alpine wins is six. Brenna has five this season heading into this week's NCAA National Championships in Maine.
He picked up wins No. 4 and No. 5 at the NCAA Regionals (Feb. 19-20) in the slalom and giant slalom, helping the Lobos win their first NCAA Regional and league titles in 16 years. The five wins tied a UNM season mark.
And what are the odds of Brenna coming back from Maine as a national champion? "Pretty good," said Landstedt. "He should be up there. He is winning so much because he not only is getting down the mountain almost every time, but he is getting down fast."
In Alpine skiing, there is a gamble factor involved. The skiers that push off know that in order to win a race, you have to go all out with reckless abandon. The cautious, the careful, do not win. Most of the racers don't make it at that reckless pace, but the winner does. Usually, it's not the same skier because the odds are that most of the time you will fall or miss a gate.
Not Brenna. He mostly finishes. He mostly finishes fast. "He is an incredible athlete," said Landstedt. "It's hard to get someone like him, because he is so good."
So, how did this incredible athlete, this program changer, decide to leave the slopes of Europe and come to New Mexico to be a Lobo?
In a way, it was simply maturity. Brenna is a 22-year-old freshman. He knows that some day the skiing legs won't be there, but the mind and the education will be.
But Brenna also knew that a nicely groomed ski slope is a terrible thing to waste. So, he sought out the best of both worlds, a world that would provide both books and bindings.
"My biggest dream is still skiing," said the native of Baerum, Norway. "I would like to ski Vancouver (Olympics) in 2010. But I decided it was time for an education. Coming over here (UNM), I can get a degree and still do the skiing.
"I feel lucky. Most of the people I know back home were at school with not much skiing and nothing but school. That didn't seem too interesting. That is why I like my situation here."
Said Landstedt: "We got lucky because he had decided it was time to get his education and we were there (recruiting him)."
Brenna wasn't exactly a ski bum in Europe during the three years between high school and UNM, but, in a way, he was. He was traveling with the Norway National Team going from slope to slope and from country to country.
"I traveled non-stop from August until the end of June. Then I had July off," he said. "Alpine skiing probably has more traveling days than any sport in the world."
Since Brenna already was a traveling man, New Mexico and the U.S. didn't seem like too much of a stretch, or a trip. "I'm pretty much used to not being at home, so that's no problem," he said. "And I have a good team around me and good teammates.
"I think New Mexico is really a good place to be. I like the laid-back attitude. I think New Mexicans are more friendly and much nicer (than a lot of Europeans)."
There is no question Brenna's performance in Maine is key to UNM grabbing the 2009 NCAA title. The Lobos qualified 10 skiers to the NCAA finals and there are four programs that qualified the maximum 12 skiers -- Alaska Anchorage, Dartmouth, Denver and Utah. Colorado will have 11 skiers in Maine.
"I think New Mexico is really a good place to be. I like the laid-back attitude. I think New Mexicans are more friendly and much nicer (than a lot of Europeans)."
Lobo freshman Petter Brenna
The Lobo ski team is the only UNM program to ever win an NCAA title and also has produced the most NCAA individual champions. Brenna has a good chance to become a national champion. If not this year, maybe 2010, 2011 or 2012. You also can expect the UNM career mark to come to Brenna.
"Of course, it would be cool to do that (career wins), but it doesn't matter that much except that I know I need to keep winning to help us at the NCAAs," said Brenna. "In Europe (ski circuit), you are just there by yourself, individually. But I'm definitely a Lobo and into that team spirit, cheering for your teammates.
"I'm a hard worker and I know I'm a good skier and I have a chance (to be an NCAA champion). But in Alpine skiing, you can't expect anything."
Maybe, but when Brenna straps on the skis for the Lobos, you can't help but expect at least two things: That he will finish. That he will finish fast.

Pirelli predict two-stop race at German GP
Jul 7, 2013, 7:15 AM EDT
Pirelli have predicted that today's German Grand Prix will be a two-stop race after analyzing the data collected in practice and qualifying so far this weekend.
The Italian supplier has come under fire following the multiple failures that occurred at the British Grand Prix, but changes have been made for this weekend including a new tire construction as well as a ban on 'tire swapping' for the teams among other guidelines issued.
"There was a difference of over a second between the medium and soft compounds, which obviously had an effect on the chosen strategy for qualifying, as it will do during the race tomorrow," Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembery explained in a statement. "The soft tire was definitely the tire to qualify on but those who start the race on the medium tire might be able to gain track position when the soft tire runners come in for their first stop earlier than them."
Hembery believes that strategy will be decisive at the Nurburgring, which will please Ferrari and Lotus who failed to trouble the front row of the grid yesterday.
"We're expecting most people to stop twice, with the emphasis on the medium tire during the race: and that will be at the heart of the race strategy that the teams plan tonight. Tomorrow the drivers have plenty of opportunity to make up places through a good strategy, even if they are not as far up the grid. Wear, degradation and performance are in line with our expectations and with dry weather expected again tomorrow, plus a wide variety of strategies at work, we should see a good race."
Pirelli believe that the first stops on the soft tire will come on lap 6, whilst the medium runners will be able to go until around lap 27.
- sailbum7 - Jul 7, 2013 at 10:27 AM
So it is 6 laps on the soft tires and 27 laps on the medium tires. That one second a lap faster time on the soft tires is not going to mean much if it results in several additional pit stops. It would seem that it would only make sense to go to the soft tires if you have to pit near the end of the race so that you have the extra grip to make some moves as the race is winding down and do not need to worry about adding a pit stop.
- apexassassin - Jul 7, 2013 at 8:14 PM
2 Drivers in the points managed a 2 stopper, 5 cars that saw the finish line did two stops.
The majority did 3. So once again Pirelli are talking out their arse.

Huddersfield Town boss Lee Clark has held talks with Leicester City.
The Daily Mail says the 39-year-old Huddersfield Town boss is understood to have met the npower Championship clubŌĆÖs owners in London on Wednesday and impressed.
Leicester have also spoken to Roy Keane, while Hull manager Nigel Pearson and former Derby and Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies have been considered, too.
However, after WednesdayŌĆÖs meeting, Clark ŌĆö who has led Huddersfield on an amazing run of 41 consecutive matches unbeaten in League One ŌĆö has emerged as the new favourite to succeed Sven Goran Eriksson. The Swede was sacked last week.
Huddersfield will demand compensation of around ┬Ż270,000 for Clark and Leicester will back their new boss with a ┬Ż10million transfer kitty in January as they look to push on for promotion.

CHARGERS: Bolts trade Cromartie to Jets, release Williams and retain Sproles
While they didn't want Sproles to reach the open market, they were comfortable letting Williams do so. The 12-year veteran and fan favorite, who had season-ending triceps surgery after the season opener, was released largely due to finances and the Chargers' commitment to a heavy rotation along the defensive line. He was due $5 million in salary and a $1 million roster bonus.
Even after letting Williams walk, the team talked about bringing him back after the market sets for a 33-year old mauler with an injury history.
"That was a tough decision," Smith said. "Anytime you're dealing with a player who has contributed so much, a move like this really hurts. We'll see where it goes from there. Whether there's an opportunity to come back or not I don't know, but we'd like to explore it. … But we know that when you release someone, he can go anywhere."
The team wanted Osgood and Cromartie to go anywhere else. Osgood was critical of the team and coach Norv Turner, which surely expedited the departure of a popular player who would've left anyway for a chance to be a regular wide receiver. He said as much on his Twitter page, where he is a frequent and candid poster.
"It's not that I WANT to leave SD," Osgood wrote. "But if ur job told you don't ever ask for a promotion cuz we will NEVER give you one, would YOU stay?"
The Chargers viewed Cromartie as a character problem who was tolerated until he could be moved. The trade market was lackluster for a player they perceived as a whiner who didn't tackle well, and the Chargers jumped at the chance to rid themselves of someone they considered a problem child.
The Chargers move forward with many holes left to fill during an offseason surely dominated by ongoing labor strife and the unique guidelines that come with it. Even with no salary cap and additional player controls, don't expect the Chargers to act any differently.
"Everyone knows our history," Smith said. "We're active but not a big player in free agency; we build through the draft and sign our own players. The whole thing doesn't affect us. Our philosophy doesn't change."

COLOMBO: Condemning the killing of Chief Secretary to the Eastern Province Herath Abeyweera on Monday as a "cowardly assassination", President Mahinda Rajapaksa said it had only strengthened the determination of his Government to tackle the challenge posed by the Tigers.
In a statement here, Mr. Rajapaksa described it as yet another act of "savagery by the LTTE" in its campaign of terror to achieve its goal of a separate state. "This assassination further strengthens our resolve not to give in to the forces of terror, but to proceed with our task of restoring freedom and democracy to the East, and all of Sri Lanka," he said.
Separately, the LTTE alleged that ordinary folks fishing in Chemmalai, a coastal village in Mullaithivu, came under a Navy attack on Monday. "It is just luck that the people were unhurt".

Arkansas woes continue in 52-0 loss to No. 1 Bama
Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen continued to struggle in the team's fourth consecutive game against a ranked team. He completed 7 of 25 passes for 91 yards with two interceptions.
"We have to stay together," Razorbacks defensive tackle Darius Philon said. "We've still got a whole lot of the season to go."
The Tide also managed to contain Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams, who both came in ranked among the SEC's top seven rushers. Collins ran for 77 yards on 18 carries and Williams had 13 rushes for 48 yards.
"We certainly respect their passing game but we were really trying to stop the run as much as possible," Alabama coach Nick Saban said.
Alabama has allowed just one touchdown and 16 points in its last five games.
Defensively, Alabama got one veteran safety back but might have lost another.
Vinnie Sunseri left the game with an apparent leg injury in the first quarter. He limped off the field after helping cover a kick, headed to the locker room and didn't return to the game.
Free safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix returned from a two-game suspension and picked off a tipped pass for his first interception of the season after Arkansas moved into Alabama territory on its second drive.
Clinton-Dix was reinstated by the NCAA on Friday after reportedly accepting a short-term loan from an assistant strength and conditioning coach.
"It felt great just to be back with my team," he said.

Salesforce.com signs AMD, updates software

AMD has agreed to buy Salesforce's set of customer service, sales and marketing applications to outfit 800 employees, Salesforce said. The San Francisco-based company was unwilling to disclose the dollar value of the contract but said the agreement is among its three largest. The average Salesforce customer purchases software for about 14 users, the company said.
Based on the $125 monthly subscription fee the company charges per software user, it appears the deal could generate at least $3.6 million for Salesforce.
The company competed with rival Siebel Systems for the AMD contract, Salesforce Chief Executive Marc Benioff said. Siebel, the largest company in the niche for so-called customer relationship management software, recently launched a pay-per-month software package that competes with Salesforce.com. The package came about through the acquisition of UpShot and a partnership with IBM Global Services.
A Siebel representative was not immediately available for comment.
Salesforce also said that it plans to introduce a new version of its software called Salesforce.com Winter '04 by the end of the month. The release includes new work-flow capabilities aimed at triggering responses to certain business events, such as prompting a credit check when a sales negotiation reaches a particular stage, said Tien Tzuo, vice president of product marketing for Salesforce. It's also designed to send customer account representatives alerts via e-mail or pager when, for example, a customer requests service or calls in with a problem, he said. Such features are intended to prevent customer-retention and sales opportunities from slipping through the cracks.
Salesforce plans to release the new version of its applications Nov. 24. The company announced the AMD contract and the product news in conjunction with it first customer and developer conference this week in San Francisco.

Comfortable and very clean. Caretaker is very friendly and helpful.
Not the best location, but a number of places are closeby.
Unfortunately, the hosting team had an internal communication problem that resulted in our room not being ready on the evening of our arrival. After troubleshooting with the security guard for almost an hour, we were taken to a room with no towels, no toilet paper, no dishes, and filled with bugs. It was not habitable. We then had to plead with the guard to call us a cab to take us to a local hotel.
Our host did promptly refund our fee, but the night's experience was horrific. I understand mix-ups do happen, but I expect the hosting team to do whatever it takes to rectify the situation -- which in this case would have been kindness and apologies when they had clearly made a major error. Assisting us in obtaining alternate accommodations for the night would have been a minimum step they could have taken.

BSP MP Dhananjay Singh, who along with his wife Jagriti Singh is accused in the case of murder of their maid, was today granted interim bail till May 20 by a Delhi court. Additional Sessions Judge Lokesh Kumar Sharma allowed the bail plea of Dhananjay, a sitting MP from Jaunpur constituency in Uttar Pradesh, on a personal bond of Rs one lakh and a surety of the like amount.
The court brushed aside the contention of the Delhi Police that Dhananjay wanted to campaign for Lok Sabha elections and he was taking undue benefit of illness of his father to seek bail. "Earlier also on one occasion, the accused had been granted one week's interim bail by the Supreme Court to file his nomination papers which was further extended for one more day by the Delhi High Court. "Hence, even if it is presumed that the accused shall also campaign for his own Lok Sabha elections besides looking after his ailing father then this fact shall not cause any prejudice to the case of the prosecution in any manner and also there shall be no threat to the prosecution witnesses as the accused will not be available in Delhi during this period and will be available only in his Lok Sabha constituency," the court said.
The court also took note of the verification report regarding treatment of Dhananjay's father and said Raj Dev Singh, father of the accused, has been admitted to a hospital in Lucknow. During the arguments, Dhananjay's counsel N Hariharan and S P M Tripathi argued that the accused should be granted interim bail as he has to look after his ailing father.
The court said, "Keeping in view the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, accused Dhanajay Singh is admitted to interim bail till May 20 subject to his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs one lakh with one surety in like amount."
The couple were arrested on November 5, last year in connection with the death of their 35-year-old maid Rakhi Bhadra, a resident of West Bengal. Jagriti, a dental surgeon at a government hospital here, is presently in jail under judicial custody. Dhananjay was chargesheeted for various offences under the IPC, including alleged destruction of evidence and abatement of the offences of murder and attempt to murder. Jagriti was chargesheeted for offences under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 344 (wrongfully confining for 10 or more days), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 201 (destruction of evidence) of the IPC.
The police, in its charge sheet, had alleged that Jagriti used to "mercilessly beat" her three domestic helps and had "compelled" them to work by holding them captive. Rakhi's body, with injury marks on her legs, chest and arms, was recovered from Dhananjay's South Avenue residence here in the evening of November 4, 2013.
Earlier, the police had chargesheeted Dhananjay in a separate case for allegedly repeatedly raping a 42-year-old railway employee for nearly four years.

5 - Zachary Comstock. You can go ahead and book this now: Zach Comstock is evil but not THE evil enemy in Bioshock Infinite. This is classic story telling trickery. They're giving us way too much on Comstock way too early for him to be the ultimate bad guy. Yeah he preaches an extreme form of libertarianism only for white people and paints Abraham Lincoln as an enemy while John Wilkes Booth is a hero, but we're almost guaranteed to get somebody/something even worse than him. Bioshock games do an excellent job with their characters, settings and stories. So while it will feel good to gut this racist savage (we hope), the thing or guy that's worse than him has us a little worried.

Malware disguised as security app poses threats to Androids
Tuesday - 6/19/2012, 6:44pm EDT
The latest platform for cyber attacks could be your android phone.
Kaspersky Labs spotted malware disguised as a fake security app called "Android Security Suite Premium," Computerworld reports.
The malware is a threat to everyday smartphone users as well as businesses that allow employees to use personal devices on the network.
The malware, which is a variant of the Zeus malware, hijacks messages the phone's owner receives and sends them to a server the hackers operate.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Today it may seem as if the state of Soul Asylum is remarkably similar to what it was exactly a decade ago, with no record contract and Pirner feverishly laying the groundwork for the band's next stylistic pivot. An optimist might even say that hints of the group's future direction can be gleaned from an outtake of the title track from SA's last record, 1998's Candy From a Stranger, that appears here. The tune flirts with silky R&B in the manner of Curtis Mayfield, adds some Clapton-like blues-rock flourishes, and sounds unlike anything the band has ever done.
Pirner's recent bent toward R&B, however, has been developed down in New Orleans without the other band members, and will likely result in a solo project. Although Pirner recently told the Star Tribune that he expects another Soul Asylum album to follow this endeavor, precious few rock bands have regained their vintage form once individual creative avenues have been pursued. Even if the band maintains its current lineup and occasionally unleashes one of its trademark sweat-fests at First Avenue, it's probable that Soul Asylum as a thriving entity, the one many of us have known and respected, is gone.

Snow White: The Fairest of Them All, is a 2001 American fantasy adventure television film co-written and directed by Caroline Thompson and produced by Hallmark Entertainment. The film was first released theatrically in Europe, and subsequently aired in the United States on the ABC network as part of their series on The Wonderful World of Disney in March 2002.
Based upon the traditional Snow White folktale first recorded in 1812 by German folklorists, the Brothers Grimm, the film deviates from earlier interpretations of the story in several respects. Set in a fantasy kingdom, it tells the story of Princess Snow White (Kristin Kreuk), and the attempts of her evil stepmother, Queen Elspeth (Miranda Richardson) to eliminate her. Trying to escape the Queen Elspeth's machinations, Snow White flees to the forest, where she befriends Sunday (Michael J. Anderson), the leader of the seven dwarves, and together they plot the monarch's overthrow.
Reviews were mixed, with Miranda Richardson's performance coming in for particular praise, but Kristin Kreuk's coming under criticism for being too bland. The film would subsequently be released on DVD.
John and Josephine deeply wish to have a child and when she is born, they name her Snow White. However, Josephine dies in childbirth, leaving John alone with their child. In the winter, John struggles to find food for his daughter when he sheds a tear over a frozen lake and frees a creature known as the Green-Eyed One. As thanks for freeing him, Green-Eyed One offers John three wishes. For John's wishes, he asks for nourishment for his daughter, a kingdom to raise his family, and a queen for a new wife, as the creature is unable to resurrect Josephine.
John's wishes come true, though he is unaware that the Green-Eyed One owes Elspeth, his hideous spellcasting sister, a wish of her own. In order to fulfill her ambitions, the Green-Eyed One transforms Elspeth into a beautiful woman who will marry John and become his queen. The creature also provides Elspeth with a magical mirror that allows her to see others unseen and to deceive John. As years pass, Elspeth forms a good relationship with her stepdaughter, who becomes a beautiful princess. However, Elspeth is vain and keeps a room full of magical mirrors which assure her each day that she is the fairest of them all whenever she asks.
When Prince Alfred arrives in the kingdom and falls in love with Snow White, Elspeth is furious to discover that images of Snow White are appearing in her mirrors, which means that Snow White is the fairest of all. Driven with jealousy, Elspeth orders Hector, a hunter, to take the princess into the forest and kill her, and then return with Snow White's heart for Elspeth to consume. In the meantime, Elspeth transforms Alfred into a bear. Unable to kill Snow White, Hector presents the queen with the heart of a deer instead. When she learns the truth, Elspeth kills Hector, imprisons John in her mirrors, and stifles Snow White with an enchanted ribbon.
The princess is saved by seven dwarves, each named after a day of the week and possessing the power to transform into a rainbow to move from one place to another. The eldest of the dwarves is Sunday, who is a victim of one of Elspeth's spells that has left half of him as a garden gnome. The dwarves allow Snow White to care for their home, though the dwarf Wednesday is initially suspicious. When Elspeth learns that Snow White is still alive, she prepares a poisoned apple and transforms into Josephine with the magic mirror the Green-Eyed One gave her. Aided by Monday, who is turned into a garden gnome afterward, Elspeth finds Snow White and convinces her to eat the poisoned apple, which seemingly kills Snow White.
With her task finished, Elspeth tries to resume her beautiful form with the mirror but returns to her true form, even more loathsome than before, punishment from The Green-Eyed One for killing an innocent human being. The dwarves, unable to save Snow White, place her in a coffin of ice and leave her near Monday's statue. When she receives a kiss of true love from Alfred, in the form of a bear, she is revived. The spells on Alfred, Sunday, and Monday break, and Elspeth's mirrors shatter, freeing John. Elspeth is killed by the little people she transformed into garden gnomes, who have been freed from their enchantments. Freed from Elspeth, the Green-Eyed One is able to go his way. Snow White and Alfred live happily ever after while the dwarves decide to move on to find Sleeping Beauty.

In order to write the script, Caroline Thompson went back to the original written account of Snow White, published by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. She came to the decision that the folktale was about the "fear of change", as two women, Snow White and her stepmother, came to adjust with the changes that they were facing in life.[1] Noting that the original 19th century folk tales were far "darker" in content than most 20th century adaptations, such as Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), she sought to utilise some of these dark elements in her adaptation.[1] The idea for the Green-Eyed One was introduced by co-writer Julie Hickson; Thompson noted that he was a "genuinely moral being" who tried to help people, comparing him to the genius of the peace found in Late Medieval literature.[1]
Upon reading the script, Kristin Kreuk noted that she had been "entranced", believing that the main message that audiences would take away from the film was that of not judging an individual's personality based upon their physical appearances.[1] Richardson thought that Caroline Thompson's adaptation was "much more in keeping" with the ethos of the Grimm tale than subsequent adaptations due to its "darker" nature.[1] Praising Miranda Richardson as being perfect for the role of Elspeth, Caroline Thompson asserted that she had been "a blast to work with."[1] Caroline Thompson noted that she cast the actors to play the dwarves according to their own individual personalities; she remarked that Warwick Davis was a "phenomenal actor" while Blake was "so funny" and Anderson was a "genius." Together, she thought that they brought an "array of talents" to the production.[1] Anderson himself claimed that he identified with his character, the "philosopher of the group", and really enjoyed playing the role.[1] Commenting on his character of Wednesday, Vincent Schiavelli noted that he was miserable because "he really thinks that he's a dwarf" even though he isn't.[1]
Caroline Thompson would also praise her "magnificent collaborators" in costume and set design.[1] The set designer noted that they constructed a castle that they felt was best described as "Viking art nouveau."[1]
The film was released theatrically in Europe and the Middle East in 2001,[2] and debuted in the United States on March 17, 2002, when it was broadcast as part of ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney series.[2] Both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs of the film were released. Reviewing the Artisan DVD release for the Combustible Celluloid website, Jeffrey M. Anderson praised its "gorgeous full-screen transfer", featurette, and cast-and-crew biographies, but highlighted that it contained no director's commentary track.[3]
Laura Fries reviewed the film for Variety, describing it as a "unique and lavish production that certainly warrants attention" but warning that it would be innapropriate for young children. Asserting that ABC had made a "big mistake" by airing it as a part of their Wonderful World of Disney series, she thought that it was "often nightmarish", harking back to the original Grimm version more than the better-known Disney adaptation; in particular, she singled out the "evil queen/witch" and "satanic messenger who grants wishes." However, she praised David Brisbin's set design, remarking that he had created a kingdom which was "equal parts gingerbread baroque and David Lynch" and that Caroline Thompson "clearly relishes" in this universe. Noting that the "magnificently villainous performance" from Miranda Richardson "virtually steals the show" from the "doe-eyed" Kristin Kreuk, she believes that the latter does "little to upgrade" the image of Snow White as the most victimized of fairytale characters.[4]
Writing for The New York Times, Hal Erickson praised the film for mixing its "more frightening aspects" with "slapstick comedy and awesome special effects."[2] Jeffrey M. Anderson reviewed Snow White for the Combustible Celluloid website, awarding it three stars out of four. Remarking that Thompson "completely eradicates" the Disney interpretation of the folktale, he praised her directorial debut, noting the influence of Tim Burton but claiming that she offers "a more universal sweetness" than he does. He notes that while remaining accessible to children, the film still "drinks more deeply of the story's dark elements".[3] David Parkinson of Radio Times awarded Snow White two stars out of five, praising Miranda Richardson's performance and comparing it to that of Sigourney Weaver in Snow White: A Tale of Terror. He also acclaimed the casting of Vincent Schiavelli as the tall dwarf, but in contrast, he criticised Kristin Kreuk's "inanimate performance", seeing her as a "dull heroine."[5] M.S. Mason of the Christian Science Monitor said: "Beautiful young Kristin Kreuk makes a lovely Snow White."[6]

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B) published a glimpse of its stock portfolio holdings as of December 31,2008, on the SEC website. I have highlighted the largest changes in shares owned.
In the last quarter of 2008 Warren Buffett kept adding to his Burlington Northern (BNI) position by purchasing well over 6 million shares for Berkshire's account. He also added to his positions in Ingersoll- Rand (IR), NRG Energy (NRG), and Eaton (ETN). He initiated positions in Constellation Energy Group (CEG) using his Midamerican subsidiary and in Nalco (NLC).
Buffett was not only buying American however. He was selling as well. Berkshire cut its stake in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) by half to 28 million shares. Other notable decreases included Procter & Gamble (PG), US Bancorp (USB), Conoco-Phillips (COP) and Carmax (KMX). Berkshire also disposed of all of its Anheuser-Busch stock, which was tendered at $70/share after the merger with InBev. The holdings in other financial stocks such as Wells Fargo (WFC), American Express (AXP), Moody's (MCO) and Bank of America (BAC) were mainly unchanged for the quarter.
The value of Berkshire's portfolio dropped to $51.87 billion from $69.89 billion at the end of third quarter 2008. Even the Oracle of Omaha is not immune to market corrections, especially now that his asset base is so huge. Berkshire Hathaway shares dropped by 26% in the last quarter of 2008, compared with a 21.5% drop for the broad S&P 500 index. So far this year both S&P 500 and Berkshire Hathaway stock are down between 12.20% and 13% each respectively.
Given the changes in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, I would not recommend acting similarly in your personal investments, based solely on following Buffett's moves. One reason why he might be selling solid dividend stocks such as Johnson & Johnson and Procter and Gamble could be that they haven't fallen as much as the broader market, which makes them ideal for Buffett to deploy the funds in other beaten down sectors. Another reason could be that he needs to raise as much cash as possible, in order to participate in other preferred stock or fixed income deals, where he could earn a 10%- 15% annual dividend yield, with very favorable terms for his company. Ordinary investors do not however have the purchasing power to participate in such favorable deals at this time. His list of fixed income or preferred stock investments range from Goldman Sachs, General Electric, USG, Swiss Re, Harley Davidson and Tiffany's.

Oddly, the 13G filed by Berkshire Hathaway on Conoco Philips yesterday reports 84,896,273 shares of Common Stock held as of December 31, 2008. That would be an increase from the prior quarter.ReplyDelete
I don't know why there's a discrepancy in the numbers between the 13-F and 13G.
Agree with your analysis on JNJ and PG and love your blog!
Agreed. I love WB and follow his every move. But the fact remains that most of us are not looking to put billions of dollars to work and we can't get the corporate debt deals he can. So we are going to do things differently.ReplyDelete
I do enjoy trying to figure out the reasoning for his actions. I would agree that the recent sales are not lack of faith in those stocks, but just simply taking advantage of better capital allocation opportunities.
Buffett is aware that there are thousands of investors mimicking his every move. That's why he is holding BRKa's positions through multiple subsidiaries. ?He's trying to confuse us all :-)
Thanks for your comment. I do agree that WB's principles at this moment cannot be easily replicated by investors like u and me.
You are right - Warren Buffet is not always right. But I did like the fact that he had the guts to admit the same.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this post and your analysis.ReplyDelete
To play the other side, maybe we should follow Buffett in selling JNJ. If as investors we have a limited amount of capital to invest, then we should place it where it has the best risk-adjusted returns. If Buffett has found better places, shouldn't we as well?
That assumes, of course, that we can find them. But given the insane valuations on some small-cap and microcap stocks, it doesn't strike me as that difficult.
JNJ is a fine company, but not the best value in today's market--at least that is what Buffett's actions suggest.

A friend of mine works at a local roastery/cafe called "caffe pronto" in Annapolis, MD. He very kindly gifted me a 12 oz bag of one of their espresso blends called sweet cheeks.
The first thing I noticed upon opening the bag, other than the delicious aroma, was that this was a true light northern Italian style roast. I have never seen a roast this light before.
I pulled two shots this morning. On his advice I let the first one go about 35 seconds, and the second one 30, and the extraction was fairly dark the whole time. This was a very tasty espresso! The most notable thing to me was an absence of acidity. Secondly was the moderate bitterness and pleasant sweetness. I wouldn't say it had a "syrupy mouthfeel" like the roaster's description, but it was definitely quite good.
I probably won't order this blend online simply because I can't stomache paying 50% of the price in shipping, but when I get to Annapolis (about 1/2 hr away) I will be sure to buy a few bags. Highly recommended.

Unlike Dreyer's Ordet, Holland's movie requires no leap of faith. Nor does it directly address its central conundrum--why did God bother with one small miracle amid the horrific carnage of World War II? If you believe that the question is absurd, the third miracle will have less to do with Father Frank's faith than your own.
Sergey Dvortsevoy has made but three short films, but the avant-garde purity of his spare and beautiful ethno-docs has won the 37-year-old onetime Aeroflot radio engineer a substantial European festival reputation. His fixed camera is obviously present, but only rarely unacknowledged. These observational movies exude patience.
The 25-minute Paradise was made in 1995 as Dvortsevoy's diploma film. The filmmaker lived with a family of Kazakh nomads for three and a half months to produce a movie of perhaps a dozen shots. Is the title ironic? A woman bakes bread in an outdoor pit, a baby finishes a bowl of yogurt and starts to cry. A young guy complains. His father fixes a shoe. There's an intimate scene of the woman washing her hair, to the accompaniment of offscreen snoring. Sound is very important and so are animals. The movie's penultimate scene shows a camel screaming as its nose is pierced.
The Third Miracle
Directed by Agnieszka Holland
Written by John Romano from the
novel by Richard Vetere
A Sony Classics release
Highway and Paradise
Two films by Sergey Dvortsevoy
A First Run/Icarus release
At Film Forum through January 11
Highway(1999), Dvortsevoy's longest film at 57 minutes, is another family portrait filmed in extremely close quarters against the photogenic emptiness of central Asia. Dvortsevoy tags along with an itinerant circus troupe--mom, dad, and their six children. Dad is the ringmaster. The kids do a bit of tumbling and walk barefoot on glass. The oldest picks up a weight in his teeth. Between shows, they catch a baby eagle. As they bump along in their rusty van on the road to Uzbekistan, the eaglet is just a part of the family--like the unseen filmmaker. Highwaygives new meaning to the phrase bird's-eye view.

As a student at the Florida Institute of Technology in the late '60s, Mark Sivik was interested in biology -- especially bugs. And to him FIT's Colombian exchange program sounded like a chance to collect some exotic insects. So he signed on ostensibly as a guide for a project in which natives were brought out of the jungles of neighboring Brazil for corrective eye surgery at the institute. His plan worked, because while he was in the bush, he nabbed lots of bizarre-looking scarabs and rare moths.
His collection of a couple hundred specimens isn't large at all for an entomology buff, but these days Sivik gives away most of the bugs he captures. Now a high-school science teacher in Palm Beach County, he still makes trips to Colombia in search of insects, but the critters he donates to school science programs are local varieties caught during the Insect Adventure field trips he conducts.
Sivik takes groups of four people or so to orange groves in western Palm Beach County. He and his bug hunters -- who include middle-school students, photographers, and nature enthusiasts -- go after caterpillars, aphids, grasshoppers, and leaf-footed bugs, among others. Most are the kinds of bugs that are no friends of plants.
"They carry plant diseases, but they are very beautiful to look at," says Sivik. The back legs of leaf-footed bugs, for example, are shaped like citrus leaves. But when they feed on agricultural crops, they spread bacteria and viruses that kill the plants. Aphids, in particular, carry citrus viruses; other bugs do damage simply by munching on plants' flowers, fruit, or leaves.
"One of the things we found a lot of were chinch bugs," says Jacques Jamner, who recently went on a bug excursion with his 12- and 15-year-old sons. "They stay underneath the leaves, and [Sivik] knew exactly where to find them."
Participants are given the opportunity to catch bugs with nets and examine them under magnifying glasses. They can then "pickle" the bugs with nail-polish remover and glue them to the tips of pushpins set in a wooden display case -- a take-home trophy of sorts.
As multitudinous as bugs are, Sivik and his troops are not upsetting the balance of nature by capturing the bugs. In fact he points out that the plant-friendly insects -- like ladybugs, which eat aphids -- are spared. "We leave the good insects," he says.

Ukrainian Easter Egg Wall Decorations
We've been admiring those Ukranian dyed eggs, called Pysanky for quite some time. They are amazingly beautiful and delicate wax resist artworks, that look like they would be very fun for an adult to attempt or an older child, but probably utterly frustrating, too fiddly, or downright impossible for the younger kids, so I thought we'd try making a more simple craft that mimicked the technique, but with more simple tools and on a much larger scale.

Your perfect Fall romantic hideaway for two!
Luxurious studio cottage with private entrance and 6 person hot tub in its own courtyard. Feels secluded, but only 2 minutes stroll to little town of Phoenicia- recently voted one of the six coolest small towns in the US by Budget Travel Magazine!
2 minutes walk from restaurants, cafes and stores in Phoencia. This studio is architect designed with attention to detail- beautiful cedar lofted ceiling with skylights, bamboo floors and glass doors overlooking a lovely secluded bluestone courtyard . Super comfortable memory foam Queen bed and fold out futon. Wi fi, free Netflix movies via Roku and free long distance phone add to the allure. You'll love your own private hot tub in the studio's courtyard offering uninterrupted views of the stars. Perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway or small family.
No car needed- Trailways bus direct from the Port Authority in NYC will land you within a couple of minutes walk from the studio.
Studio has a very basic little kitchenette with toaster, fridge, coffee maker and microwave and a few utensils. We are not set up for cooking as most guests eat at Brios and Mama's Boy only a couple of minutes walk from the studio, or venture out a few minutes to have breakfast at the fabulous new Phoenicia Diner on Route 28 or dinner at the Peekamoose in Big Indian. Brios has great wood fired pizzas, and Ricciardella's has the classier cuisine. The Peekamoose for locally sourced produce cooked with love and flair in a beautiful setting. The world class Emerson resort and Spa is three minutes away and boasts the wonderful Phoenix restaurant as well as offering an array of spa treatments. Enjoy a latte and free wi fi at Mama's Boys Coffee Shop. Ask about more dining options- we're happy to make recommendations. Basic self catering items can be purchased on the corner in the Phoenicia Supermarket.
Miles of pristine hiking trails await. The wonderful Tannbark Trail easily accessible from behind the studio from the back of the Parish Field. Hike 20 minutes to the top of the Mountain for great views of Phoenicia and surrounding mountains- if you're feeling fit, continue on the loop for another hour or so to experience woods, cliffs, little waterfalls and pure streams.
Phoenicia is Old World Americana- a hidden gem of a town on the verge of rediscovery.
Rent a bike at Mike's Bikes or find something surprising at The Mystery Spot or The Home Store. Monthly art openings at the Arts Upstairs are a blast and classic movies and home grown theater take center stage at the Shandaken Theatrical Society Theater.Take a train ride along the Esopus Creek from the Railway Museum just around the corner. The annual Phoenicia International Festival of the Voice, founded by the owner , opera singer Kerry Henderson, transforms our little town into a hub for the vocal arts in early August.
Walk five minutes in any direction, and you are in the middle of unbridled wilderness. Wonderful hiking accessible from behind our property, swimming across the street in the Esopus Creek, cross country skiing, snow tubing trout fishing, seasonal festivals, you name it!.
A haven for lovers, writers, artists, musicians, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
I'm an opera singer, gallery owner and arts festival organizer. I'm originally from New Zealand. I started the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice in the field behind our home four years ago and this has grown to become one of the most successful arts events in the region each summer. My wife, Bex is from Scotland and is a storyteller and actress and we have two young children, Rosa and Edrick. We've lived in many places throughout the world and consider the Catskills to be one of the most beautiful areas we have ever had the pleasure to spend time.
Kerry Henderson purchased this studio in 2006
Cottage as described on the website. Cozy, comfortable, warm accommodations located in a perfect spot - hiking trail right our back, and coffee shop/pizza a short walk away. Not a place to cook - as mentioned on the site. Hot tub was heavenly. Owners very responsive - never waiting long to hear back with questions prior to the visit, or during our stay. They even made a trip to the cottage with light bulbs when we informed them the ones there were burnt out. Already recommended place to two friends (dog friendly!) and we will be back.
This was a perfect cottage for a long getaway. My husband and I wanted to celebrate our 5 year anniversary truly with other and this was perfect! No phone service, no TV, just fun conversations and exploring the mountains around us! The private yard was amazing, we sat in the hot tub surrounded by fireflies at night, and by day we all lounged on the hammock reading (our two dogs included!).
The restaurants were much better than I could have imagined! We ate at Brios, Sweet Sue's, Alamo Cantina, Mama's Boy and all were fantastic. It didn't matter what we ate; it was good! Woodstock was about a 1-20 minute drive where we spent the day being tourists. We hiked the trail right behind the house and it's much steeper than it looks! But great views and totally worth it.
I can't wait to visit again! We really enjoyed ourselves.
My boyfriend and I stayed here last weekend and we are wishing we were still there. With two sofas, tables, and queen bed there was ample room to sprawl out yet was compact enough to still be cozy. The incredible vaulted wood ceiling with skylights also added to the ambiance. Since this was a summer visit, the AC and ceiling fan kept us very comfortable. The natural cobblestone shower was also great. Luckily there were a lot of towels because we got to take advantage of the hot tub. The fire pit was the cherry on top, and given its placement we could light the fire outside, and open the front windowed doors to watch it from inside the cottage at night. Our only minor quip was that the bedsheets smelled a little musty. Overall, though, staying here was as easy and pleasant as could be. What a wonderful gem. :)
We had a fabulous time during our weekend getaway. This cottage is the prefect location, very charming, and the hot tub was awesome on those chilled nights. It gives you the perfect view of the star filled night sky.
We had phenomenal food (Sweet Sue's and Brio), hiked the mountain trail from just around the corner from the cottage, and relaxed in a very comfy quaint room. We will more than likely be back!
This was a lovely studio cabin, and my fiancé and I couldn't have been happier to have a cozy home to return to after exploring the restaurants and bookstores Phoenicia and Woodstock have to offer. Kerry has extremely helpful, kind, and welcoming from beginning to end. We spent hours in the hot tub, hiked up Mount Tremper, ate pancakes at Sweet Sue's, and wandered poked around all the cool little shops in the area. Wish we could have stayed for longer, and we hope to return soon!
This cottage was exactly as advertised and was the perfect stay for a birthday weekend. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated. Kerry, the owner, was super helpful and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. The combination of the hot tub and fire pit for roasting marshmallows made the weekend complete and I can't wait to stay here again! Over all it was a great place to stay for a romantic weekend getaway and the entire location was perfect! We are super grateful to Kerry for being such a wonderful host.
Phoenicia was recently voted one the Ten Coolest Small Towns in America in a competition hosted by Budget travel Magazine with mentions in Vogue Magazine and New York Times.
Phoenicia offers something for everyone- for outdoor enthusiasts it is the ultimate retreat- skiing (alpine and cross country) Belleayre &Hunter Mountains are close by. Fish the mighty Esopus, snow shoe, play golf, go horseback riding, swimming, kayaking, tubing and bird watching. Behind our property, the Parish Field accesses miles of newly upgraded hiking trails and truly pristine nature. Walk 2 minutes to breakfast at 'Sweet Sue's', dinner at 'Ricciardella's' Art galleries abound, and only 20 minutes from Woodstock. Massage, Reiki, Yoga readily available at the loft or in town- pamper yourself at the world class Emerson Resort (2 miles away).
