Week One: First Week in Washington, DC
Welcome to the professional world with some nice cushioning to ease the blow! The first week of our CHCI summer experience was perfectly planned, calibrated, and executed. To facilitate our professional development, the CHCI team thought of every possible workshop to aid our transition to the real world and also the microcosm of DC. Writing workshops, etiquette training and public safety briefings assured us that our internships would begin without the little mistakes we wish didn't happen. Which fork do I use again?! The various representatives from national organizations offered insight into how our experiences here will ensure our effectiveness as future leaders in the global community. Early morning 9am sessions, yes 9 am is early after a few weeks of summer vacation, started out with a great breakfast and an even more amazing staff. The highlight for the first week was the CHCI family. Whether it was an alumni intern/fellow who spoke to our group, or the CHCI staff, he or she always took the time to offer the wisdom of his or her experience.

Isn't FedEx Express a little redundant? I mean, I know FedEx has an Express shipping division, but it just always seemed silly to me. It's like saying VIN number...drives me CRAZY!
I guess they have to do that now for ID purposes. Federal Express was the original name but the now have 5 0r 6 solid divisions, all with a corporate VP at Mem but operating HQ's all over the country. Progress.lol
It would be if Federal Express still existed, but after a few anti-monopoly rulings were handed down against Federal Express the company was split up as follows:
FedEx Express: Airline and int'l/domestic airfreight small package ground delivery
FedEx Ground: Domestic small package ground delivery
FedEx Freight: Domestic Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
FedEx Trade Networks: Int'l brokerage, Sea/Air import/ecport
FedEx Custom Critical: Time-sensitive nationwide
And so on...each has a different color code.
commendable fedex does this. there is nothing like the real thing to practice drills and refine skills that are necessary in this day and age, especially for emergency services...great job everybody!

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- More than a decade after New Franklin Laundry shut its doors in Bangor, the building it occupied is finally coming down.
On Wednesday, crews began work demolishing that building, which is on Fern Street in the Queen City. 'New Franklin Laundry' used to wash and dry clean clothes before it went out of business in 2000.
Developers bought the building not long after that from the city but the site required chemical cleanup before it could be rehabed. The Environmental Protection Agency stepped in to do that work a few years ago.
'House Revivers' was then able to start work tearing down the building thanks in part to development funds coming from the city. It intends to build six new energy efficient houses on the lot.
"With six homes on this site...the city's going to see an increase in tax revenue in this area," said David Kelly, who is the project coordinator for 'House Revivers, "The neighborhood's gonna see an increase in vigor and vitality....and we'll have a chance to build some really interesting houses."
Demolition on the building is expected to be complete by Thanksgiving. Developers are aiming to have the new homes built by sometime next year.

Java Roast CrockPot Recipe
Day 313.
Nancy emailed me this recipe at the beginning of this week, and since I had everything in the house, I plopped it in the crockpot yesterday.
This is a fun roast! The coffee really tenderizes the meat, and it becomes fork-tender than other roast recipes. I tweaked her original recipe according to what we had in the pantry, and was pleased with the results.
Adam and I ate ours with a spinach salad and the girls dipped their "steak" in barbecue sauce.
The Ingredients.
--3 lb chuck roast, trimmed of fat
--3/4 cup brewed coffee
--1 yellow onion, chopped
--1 red bell pepper, chopped
--8 oz sliced mushrooms
--1 t garlic powder, or 4-5 chopped cloves
--1/2 tsp salt
--1/4 black pepper
--1 T Worcestershire sauce
--3 T red wine vinegar
--4 oz cream cheese (to add at the end)
The Directions.
Use a 4 quart or larger crockpot.
I opted to not brown the meat and onions, and instead plopped everything in to the crockpot. I put the vegetables on the bottom, and then the meat.
Add the coffee, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, and spices.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4-5. I cooked our meat on low for exactly 8 hours, and then it was on warm for another 3.
Carefully remove the meat from the pot, and stir in the cream cheese. I'd cut the cream cheese in slices and add it one at a time, if you can, to help it from separating in little white dots the way mine did. I got impatient. If you do get a bunch of little white dots, they will taste fine, but annoy you.
The Verdict.
Yummy! If I didn't know coffee was in there, I wouldn't have guessed that's what the hint of flavor was. I liked how the gravy was dark brown, and rich. Adding the cream cheese thickened it up nicely, and gave it a creamy texture.
Thank you, Nancy!

mmmm, that does sound good. Never would have thought about coffee and cream cheese, sounds like a perfect marriage.

YaH! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!! I decided to make a pot roast this morning, and low and behold, you posted this! I had everything on hand, and even the coffee with exactly 1 cup left. It is still in the crockpot, but knowing that you liked it, I KNOW it will turn out good. Great timing! thank you so much!!
- November 8, 2008 at 9:39 AM
The cream cheese is less likely to clump like that if it is room temperature before mixing it with the hot pot liquid. Hope that helps!

That was my first question: can you tell it's coffee? I love coffee, but my family doesn't. I've baked coffee into cakes successfully, so this might work!

- Jamie Kaufmann said...
YES! Someone else who doesn't brown the meat. I usually skip that step too. I am far from a knowledgeable cook so have always wondered if that's "bad", that I don't brown it first. I'm so happy to hear that you skip it sometimes too. :) Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. What does that really do anyways?
- November 8, 2008 at 11:58 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
anon, that is an excellent tip, thank you!
Jamie, the meat looks better if it is browned. That's all I can think of. "They" say it tastes better, but I haven't had that experience at all. I hate washing pans or extra steps, so unless it;s something special and I want grill marks or browned skin (like on chicken) I skip that step.
Also! I think that browning the meat toughens the skin and sometimes the sauce flavors just can't penetrate through and I don't like that. I like my meat to be saucy. ;-)

If you REALLY want to tweak the recipe, I heard many years ago that coffee will tenderize/flavorize bear meat.
Let me know if you try it, and I'll let you know if I try it!
(You notice I heard this tip years ago, and haven't had an opportunity to try it yet! ;)
- November 8, 2008 at 3:03 PM
Sounds good, but I have a question. If I don't like mushrooms – and I don't; it's the texture, not the taste – can I just leave them out or will that affect the liquid/solid ratio? Do I need to substitute something else instead, and if so, what?

I made this yesterday and it was fabulous! (I left out the cream cheese and just thickened the gravy separately on the stove top.) Thanks for this blog!

- Karah said...
So I have a question. I tried this tonight, and while it was very good - it tasted pretty much the same as EVERY other roast I have ever made in the crock pot. They just all have that same basic taste. Am I doing something wrong or is that just how all crock pot roasts are? (I followed the recipe to a T, just fyi. OH except for the cream cheese part - to avoid the whole chunky white bits thing, I warmed the cheese in the microwave and then I scooped some of the liquid from the crock into the cheese and whisked it together before pouring it back into the crock).
- February 17, 2009 at 8:10 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
hmm. okay. You've got the coffee, and onion, and worcestershire sauce----those are the main flavor ingredients. If you've always made pot roast with a packet of onion soup mix, this will taste quite similar. Try the pomegranate beef or the red wine and cranberries glazed pot roast---they have a much different flavor than the "traditional" pot roast would.
or make chicken! ;-)
- February 17, 2009 at 8:20 PM
this is just so yummy! there is no coffee flavor. It is just GOOD! The only thing that I added was some baby carrots. I served it over some mashed potatoes and corn bread. The family LOVED this! Will make again soon, very soon!

- MPMommy said...
Got this in the pot now - but using a tri-tip as it's what I had. I also would have bet money I had red wine vinegar, but apparently not, so plain white is what I used. Smells good and I expect it to taste yummy, too. :)

good even though he hates coffee (I have not told him that was in it eithe;) )

LOVE this recipe! I've made it twice after seeing it in the book and YUM. Both times I forgot to get mushrooms at the store and, consequently, did not have them with the roast -- still delicious. I just have my husband brew an extra cup of coffee in the morning, pop everything in the slow cooker, and come home to a fantastic dinner (and lunch for the next day). We are in Phase One of South Beach and made this with Neufchâtel cheese -- still delicious. Have I mentioned that I love this recipe? YUM.
- March 21, 2010 at 7:04 AM
This was absolutely DELICIOUS! I made it and took some to my parents' place for them to eat later on. They both called separately to rave about it! Yum! Your recipes are so good!
- September 12, 2010 at 3:25 PM
Sooooo good! I really enjoyed this roast!

How do maintain keeping things low in fat when you cook meat in a crockpot and serve it right away? I use a crockpot often for vegetarian dishes. There is so much fat in there that I have to put the pot in the refigerator overnight so that I can skim off all the fat! (like for a rich and hearty chicken soup) - just curious about what you do....

In the crock now.
Will follow up.
Thanks again, Steph, you rock!

Comments about Fox 30 Backpack (Youth):
Only used it once for my 10 year-old daughter. I have a 12 year-old daughter that has an Osprey Jib (slightly larger than the Deuter Fox 30). I do like the Osprey pack better, but the price is also a lot higher.
My 10 year-old daughter is on the short skinny side. The pack fit her perfect on the lowest setting. We went on a small 9 mile overnight backpacking trip through hilly, rocky terrain. She had a 2 liter bladder, sleeping bag and clothes. All together the pack and her gear weighed about 13 pounds. The sleeping bag and bladder almost filled the entire pack. My daughter never complained, said it was very comfortable, told me the only thing that hurt were her feet.
I do wish this pack had some sleeping pad/sleeping bag/tent loops at the bottom, and there are 2 exterior side pockets that are really useless...don't understand why they are there. Other than that, it is a great pack

Life on the food frontier can be rugged and lonely. Ask Johanna Ware. As a child in Chicago, Ware remembers the quizzical reaction to the "crazy lunches" packed by a mother "who cooked her way through Julia Child before that was a freakin' movie."
As the owner-chef of Smallwares, our runner-up Restaurant of the Year, she's in a similar position. Like Aviary, Ware's ethnicity-agnostic Northeast Fremont Street restaurant reinterprets familiar themes from Asian cuisine in creative new ways. Scandalizing traditionalists isn't the problem, though—it's the way the restaurant confuses neighbors in Beaumont Village.
Smallwares hasn't received the rapturous response you might expect, given the excitement it's generated among those of us who eat out way too often. In fact, Ware, who has cooked at Portland's popular Nostrana and New York's lauded Momofuku Noodle Bar and Public since earning an English degree from the University of Oregon in 2002, says it's never once run a wait. Her expierence is, in fact, eerily similar to the chefs at Aviary.
"I watch people walk up to the window to look at the menu and make a disgusted face, which is really disheartening," she says. "We joke about putting a fake menu in the window with, like, hamburgers and hot dogs. Once people get in they enjoy it, but they have to go in first."
While Portland considers itself a foodnik town, it seems a menu with dishes listed as "fried kale, candied bacon, fish sauce, mint" and "mapo dofu, egg custard, scallion" stumps Stumptowners. "I think it's a more free way to cook," she says. "It's Asian, but I like it better than trying to be authentic and it being 'these are the vinegars I can use and these are the pepper flakes I can use.'"
Smallwares—and our Restaurant of the Year, Aviary, which has similarly ambitious ideas about how to create new dishes from an assortment of exotic flavors—are good enough to change how Portlanders look at unfamiliar dishes. When it comes to the fried kale, for example, eating is understanding. The kale, which has become a signature offering, features broad leaves of the dark green cabbage fried in a light rice batter and covered with smoky candied bacon and a light dressing of bright mint and fish sauce. The dish adroitly juggles five flavors, and is a splendid introduction to what Ware calls "weird, undefined cuisines." Though bold, it's not difficult to appreciate. And priced at $10, it's not exactly high stakes.
With 20 small plates priced between $5 and $18 running the gamut from scallop sashimi to somen noodles and a fried egg in chili paste, Smallwares is made for sampling. That's part of what makes the restaurant not only one of the most exciting and consistently excellent spots in town, but one of the most fun.
The drinks help, too. Smallwares and Barwares, the large back room that serves the same menu along with light drinking snacks, have one of the most unique drink programs in town. Offerings are bunched by dominant flavor, not alcohol type, so rich red wine and an oatmeal stout sit together apart from fruity sakes and sour beer. No one will look at you funny if you hop from one to the other by course. "I guess it kind of dumbs it down, but it's how I order drinks, so I like it," Ware says. "I can't navigate Nostrana's wine list and I worked there."
Speaking of working: If you're eating at Smallwares, Ware probably personally cooked your meal. The restaurant is open from 11:30 am to 10 pm, with Barwares serving food until 2 am, but she's been in the kitchen during each of my seven visits. Ware says she's worked up to 100 hours a week. "I'm more stressed when I'm not here," she says. "If I ever read a bad review, I want it to be my fault. And, also, I work for free."
Ware's mother—the one who cooked her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking—is the only other investor in the restaurant, though there's very little of Julia Child's influence in the menu.
"I don't cook with any butter, really—I think I've bought two pounds since I opened," Ware says. "I let the spices provide the flavor."
Inside the kitchen at Smallwares:
Smallwares, 4605 NE Fremont St., 971-229-0995, smallwarespdx.com. 11:30 am-10 pm Monday-Friday, 5-10 pm Saturday-Sunday. $$-$$$.

The first major groups of amphibians developed in the Devonian period, around 370 million years ago, from lobe-finned fish similar to the modern coelacanth and lungfish, which had evolved multi-jointed leg-like fins with digits that enabled them to crawl along the sea bottom. Some fish had developed primitive lungs to help them breathe air when the stagnant pools of the Devonian swamps were low in oxygen.
They could also use their strong fins to hoist themselves out of the water and onto dry land if circumstances so required. Eventually, their bony fins would evolve into limbs and they would become the ancestors to all tetrapods, including modern amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Despite being able to crawl on land, many of these prehistoric tetrapodomorph fish still spent most of their time in the water. They had started to develop lungs, but still breathed predominantly with gills.
Ichthyostega was one of the first primitive amphibians, with nostrils and more efficient lungs. It had four sturdy limbs, a neck, a tail with fins and a skull very similar to that of the lobe-finned fish, Eusthenopteron.
Amphibians evolved adaptations that allowed them to stay out of the water for longer periods. Their lungs improved and their skeletons became heavier and stronger, better able to cope with the increased gravitational effect of life on land. They developed "hands" and "feet" with five or more digits; the skin became more capable of retaining body fluids and resisting desiccation.
At the end of the Devonian period (360 million years ago), the seas, rivers and lakes were teeming with life while the land was the realm of early plants and devoid of vertebrates, though some, such as Ichthyostega, may have sometimes hauled themselves out of the water.
It is thought they may have propelled themselves with their forelimbs, dragging their hindquarters in a similar manner to that used by the elephant seal. In the early Carboniferous (360 to 345 million years ago), the climate became wet and warm.
Extensive swamps developed with mosses, ferns, horsetails and calamites. Air-breathing arthropods evolved and invaded the land where they provided food for the carnivorous amphibians that began to adapt to the terrestrial environment. There were no other tetrapods on the land and the amphibians were at the top of the food chain, occupying the ecological position currently held by the crocodile.
Though equipped with limbs and the ability to breathe air, most still had a long tapering body and strong tail. They were the top land predators, sometimes reaching several metres in length, preying on the large insects of the period and the many types of fish in the water.
They still needed to return to water to lay their shell-less eggs, and even most modern amphibians have a fully aquatic larval stage with gills like their fish ancestors. It was the development of the amniotic egg, which prevents the developing embryo from drying out, that enabled the reptiles to reproduce on land and which led to their dominance in the period that followed.
During the Triassic Period (250 to 200 million years ago), the reptiles began to out-compete the amphibians, leading to a reduction in both the amphibians' size and their importance in the biosphere. According to the fossil record, Lissamphibia, which includes all modern amphibians and is the only surviving lineage, may have branched off from the extinct groups Temnospondyli and Lepospondyli at some period between the Late Carboniferous and the Early Triassic.
The relative scarcity of fossil evidence precludes precise dating, but the most recent molecular study, based on multilocus sequence typing, suggests a Late Carboniferous/Early Permian origin of extant amphibians.(wikipedia.org)

Who says vests can only be worn at church or during formal occasions? Not us. We say vests worn in the restaurant are the way to go, and outfitting your servers with something a bit more fashionable can be a quick way to reel in compliments and improve your eatery's atmosphere. Restaurant appropriate vests look great when worn to a catered event, around the dining room, or even at home when modeling for your cats, and picking up a few that suit your style is an excellent way to look and feel like a million bucks.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to test whether a saline nebulization (breathing in a mist of moist air through a mask) will help an individual cough up a better sputum sample to test for tuberculosis (TB). In addition, this study will test whether samples obtained with saline nebulization are better at finding TB in people with HIV infection. The study will enroll up to 600 individuals, aged 12 and older, with suspected pulmonary TB. Participants will be asked to cough up a sample of sputum into a container. Then, participants will be asked to breathe a mist of moist air from an oxygen mask followed by moist salty air, which will help individuals to cough up a second sputum sample. This mist of moist air will contain salbutamol, a medicine to help open up the airways. The sputum samples will be sent to a laboratory to test for TB. Additionally, participants will be tested for HIV with a blood sample collection. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 61 days.

|December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: 1
Drug: Salbutamol
Prophylactic salbutamol administered at a dose of 200 micrograms by metered dose inhaler (MDI) via a spacer.Drug: Sodium chloride 5%
30 ml sterile hypertonic saline solution (sodium chloride 5%) will be administered by jet nebulisation for 15-20 minutes.
Detailed Description:
Early case detection, treatment, and prompt household contact investigation, depend on rapid microbiological confirmation, by direct smear microscopy of acid-fast bacilli, in patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis. Since delayed diagnosis may result in death due to lack of appropriate therapy, rapid microbiological diagnosis is especially critical in HIV-infected persons. Improved rapid diagnostic methods are also crucial for the success of epidemiological studies; trials of preventative interventions, such as novel vaccines; and therapeutic interventions, since the diagnostic endpoints of such trials may require microbiological confirmation of tuberculosis. In clinical practice, early therapeutic intervention might reduce the risk of death, especially in patients co-infected with HIV. In this study, researchers propose to test a simple diagnostic modality for rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected adolescents and adults. Researchers will test whether induced sputum will improve the diagnostic yield of smear positive tuberculosis. This low-cost technology augments spontaneous sputum production by inhalation of a nebulized saline solution. The primary objective of this study is to quantify and compare the diagnostic yield of smear positive tuberculosis from induced sputum, with that of routine sputum, in HIV-infected patients with suspected tuberculosis. Researchers believe that induced sputum will increase the diagnostic yield from direct smear microscopy in this patient population. The secondary objective of the study is to quantify and compare the diagnostic yield of smear positive tuberculosis from induced sputum, with that of routine sputum, in all patients with suspected tuberculosis, regardless of HIV status. Researchers believe that induced sputum will increase the diagnostic yield from direct smear microscopy in all patients in this population, regardless of HIV status. Approximately 1200 individuals (male or female gender), aged 12 years and older, with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, will be screened in order to enroll 600 eligible participants at 2 district health services clinics near the town of Worcester, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Informed consent for participation will be sought from adolescents and adults with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis who present to public sector community health services for investigation. A rapid HIV test, with pre- and post-test counseling, will be performed. A routine spontaneous expectorated sputum sample and an induced sputum sample (obtained after nebulization of sterile 5% saline via mask) will be collected. A second routine sputum will be collected on the following morning. Direct smear microscopy and mycobacterial culture of sputum will be performed in an accredited microbiology laboratory. HIV rapid test results will be used to classify participants for evaluation of the primary outcome, positive direct smear microscopy, and the secondary outcome, positive culture of M. tuberculosis. Diagnostic yields for each routine and induced sputum sample will be calculated, as a proportion of all patients who are culture-positive for M. tuberculosis, and compared in a pair-wise and sequential manner. Results will be reported as differences in yield and 95% confidence intervals for the difference in those proportions. The primary endpoint will be sputum direct smear microscopy positive for acid-fast bacilli. The secondary endpoint will be sputum culture positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Study duration will be 4 years with individual subject participation approximately 8 weeks.

Make Yourself at Home (Fetish)
2008. USA. Soopum Sohn. 90 min.
Introduced by Sohn
Sunday, October 10, 2010, 5:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
Make Yourself at Home (Fetish)
2008. USA. Directed by Soopum Sohn. Written by Sohn, Margaret Monaghan. With Song Hye-kyo, Arno Frisch, Athena Currey. For his feature debut, New York–based Korean American filmmaker Sohn uses a cleverly scripted supernatural-thriller genre to explore themes of identity and the "Other." During a brief visit to the "homeland," Peter (an "Americanized" Korean) helps his mother in brokering his marriage to a Korean girl. When the girl, Sookhy, arrives at his home in upstate New York, she's in for a culture clash. But Sookhy may not be as innocent as she seemed—she soon begins to assert herself not only at home but at a nearby couple's house as well. The increasingly outlandish goings-on and the film's eerie atmosphere of foreboding are balanced throughout by the story's symbolic underpinnings. In English, Korean; English subtitles. 90 min.

Good night, Sleep tight, Don't let the bed bugs bite May 17, 2010Riddle me this: Full size bed, two adults.

Y'all, I'm getting eaten.alive.in.my.bed. It's been going on for a week now. I thought we had a spider so I changed the sheets and washed the bedding. It came back.

I guess the real question is, would you have to look for me in the fetish section, too? May 16, 2010
#Fitness#Weght Loss and Body ImageA few weeks ago, I attended an amazing panel about our girls being "sexy too soon" by Parent Map. I was asked to tweet about the event during the discussion and received a ton of great feedback via twitter regarding the content of the session. It was well done and truly full of wonderful ideas to reach out to our girls. However. As I grabbed the courage to stand and ask a question, an Asian lady stood up before me to ask hers. "It's taken us two hours and we haven't talked about race," she said. The room fell silent. The all white panel stammered. "Um, yea…" The question-asker went on, "You know where my husband has to go find porn that looks like me? The FETISH section. That's because we over-romanticize and sexualize our... Read more
Mother's Day 2010: Epic Awesomesauce May 10, 2010Mother's Day started early. Saturday night my friend Ashley picked me up in her awesome mobile to head to our favorite local restaurant. We met Trix there and she totally smelled my hair. It was great girl-time in which we talked about wine and sex and being a mom. Not in that order. Or maybe in that order. I forget because the wine was first. The next morning I woke up to flowers, cards, and the Sunday Paper. I love the Sunday Paper. I love that I look studious while perusing the Target Ad. We went for a hike near our home. The kids ran ahead because they aren't old enough to realize you still have to actually walk BACK to the car. Silly kids. They never learn.

I make a terrible fairy-tale princess, a crappy mormon, a shitty buddhist and a worse country wife May 07, 2010We have mice. When I tell this to people they laugh. "Welcome to the country," they say.

Instead of being the calm, rational person "they" expect me to be, I jumped on a chair while yelling, "KILL THE FUCKER" and simultaneously pouring a glass of wine. It was not my proudest moment. My daughter has lived with invisible mice for nearly three years. It started one night after introducing her to Cinderella.

Mets to begin modifications to dimensions tomorrow
Joe DeMayo from St. Lucie to Flushing is currently on a tour of Citi Field, and just tweeted the following:
Below are the planned modifications to the outfield wall, which includes a uniform eight-foot blue wall around the perimeter of the outfield:
Michael Baron: I can't wait to see these changes and, most importantly, I am very much looking forward to how they impact players such as David Wright and Jason Bay. The park needed to become "fairer" and I think in a lot of ways, the announced changes have exceed my expectations.
I am also thrilled they are finally making the walls blue. It identifies with the team, it's history, and the overall brand more than the "soot" color. In fact, "soot" has never been a part of their color scheme whatsoever, and so I never really understood why they chose to go with that color to begin with, especially since the original artist rendering of Citi Field pictured a blue wall.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — It used to be a lot easier to judge exactly where we were in a tech investment cycle, until Apple Inc. and other tablet and smartphone makers disrupted a 30-year pattern.
Before the rise of the iPhone, iPad and Android-based mobile devices, the purchasing of new technologies by businesses had held to a consistent pattern for three decades.
This road map was valuable to tech investors because predicting which technologies corporate customers were buying — and when — was key to finding the fastest revenue growth in the sector. It also helped traders avoid losses in the shares of chip makers or sellers of PCs, storage and networking gear, as well as for stocks in purveyors of software or business-consulting services that were in the downside of an investment cycle.
Sneak peek at hottest CES gadgets
A luggage tracker that can find your bags instantly. A fork that keeps watch over your eating habits. Kelli Grant looks at some of the gadgets to be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show.
But that model has been turned on its head, because the rise of mobile connectivity and the slow death of the personal-computer market are slowly fusing the enterprise and consumer markets.
In the old pattern, chip makers like Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. bought chip equipment from the likes of Applied Materials Inc., Novellus Systems Inc. and KLA-Tencor. Computer makers like Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. put those chips into PCs they sold to businesses.
Enterprises then bought networking gear from Cisco Systems Inc. and others to tie all those PCs together, and storage equipment from EMC Corp. and others. Finally came the enterprise software, usually from International Business Machines Corp., Oracle Corp., Microsoft Corp., SAP AG and/or Adobe Systems Inc. (and usually installed by business and IT consultants), which ultimately allowed businesses to extract value from their investments.
While there were notable exceptions — the emergence of the Internet was a boon to makers of networking gear and servers, for example — the beginning of a new cycle would usually start with the release of more-powerful chips.
The downward cycle usually came when slowing orders at chip-equipment makers coincided with rising inventories at chip and PC companies. That inflection point was often the prompt for big money managers to begin underweighting tech stocks in favor of other sectors.
Paradigm shift
Yet new chips are no longer the most important driver of an upgrade cycle. The main force for this is the proliferation of ever more-powerful apps running on mobile devices.
That's why the so-called Wintel duopoly is dying, and why it's no surprise that outgoing Intel INTC, -1.17% Chief Executive Paul Otellini doesn't want to stick around to see the end of it.
It's also why I've been trying to warn any investor concerned with growth (versus dividend income) to stay away from Microsoft MSFT, -0.72% because the speed at which the old model will disintegrate can't be underestimated.
After 30 years of integrating wave after wave of new technologies, most companies don't run their businesses in any way that resembles their old management processes. That's why investors shouldn't be betting on the stocks of companies whose revenue-growth models pretend they do.
You have only to look at Apple's AAPL, +2.39% $500 billion market cap and the stagnant growth of tech companies that depend on the Wintel duopoly for evidence that investors face a different tech economy. Indeed, rather than leveling off, the digestion of new technologies by enterprises is accelerating, and from the ground up.

Martin Regional Library will be closed Oct 19-Nov 1 for library improvements.
It's July in Oklahoma, which means it's HOT. And HOT can be dangerous. Here are a few things to keep in mind during these dog days of summer.
The hot temperatures and lack of significant rain resulted in our County Commissioners deciding Monday to extend the county burn ban. A burn ban is what is sounds like, a complete ban on open fires or flames. Excpetions are made for outdoor grilling with electric or gas grills where the grilling is done over gravel, concrete or another non-flammable surface (quite the disappointment for this self-proclaimed grill master and Hasty Bake owner). The County Commissioners are reevaluating the ban on a week by week basis, meaning there is a slim hope the summer bar-b-que could be lit again.
Heat can kill, so do what you can to protect yourself, loved ones, neighbors and pets from becoming overheated. The best way to protect yourself is to stay hydrated and cool. Ready.gov offers tips to avoid heat exhaustion: http://www.ready.gov/heat/.
The Tulsa Weather Coalition offers air conditioners to households that meet medical or income criteria. To learn if you qualify contact 2-1-1. Or, if you'd like to help, Community Service Council is accepting monetary donations for the purchase of air conditioners.
For those without adequate air conditioning, Tulsa County has a number of spots designated as cooling stations. TCCL's Tulsa Organizations and Services database has a listing of area cooling stations. Though Tulsa City-County Libraries are not officially designated as cooling stations, the libraries are cool and offer a wealth of information, culture, and adventures nestled on our shelves.
Do your best to stay cool and enjoy the rest of the summer.
