SHADYSIDE, Pa. — William L. Roenigk Jr., president and owner of W.L. Roenigk Inc., passed away here on Saturday of leukemia at the age of 57, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
W.L. Roenigk Inc. has provided pupil transportation services in Pennsylvania for many years. According to SBF's 2012 Top 50 Contractors ranking, the company has the 10th largest fleet in the nation, with 963 school buses serving students under 27 district contracts.
The company was founded by Roenigk's father, William L. Roenigk Sr. The younger Roenigk began working for the company after graduating from high school in 1973.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette obituary, Selina Pittenger, executive director of the Pennsylvania School Bus Association, said that Roenigk believed that he was making "a significant contribution to the education of schoolchildren, getting them to and from school safely."
Roenigk served as president of the Pennsylvania School Bus Association from 2008 to 2010.

So like most of the fashion world, we're pretty obsessed with street style—but one of our favorite online destinations specifically calls itself "NOT a street style blog." Yup, we're talking about Le 21ème and the site's incredibly cool, bearded founder Adam Katz Sinding—who happened to give a couple fashion photo-focused sessions at FABB on Friday.
While the Canon-sponsored sesh was pretty technical, us amateur-photog attendees learned some cool tips, like to try and focus our cameras on an object in the foreground of ours pics and to shoot someone while down on one knee, proposal-style (the angle actually elongates the subject). Oh, and as Adam was flipping through his slideshow, he realized that he was wearing the exact same outfit that he modeled in some demo pics shot yesterday. Yeah, can't sneak that past a room full of fashion bloggers.
We caught up with Adam after his session to get a few tips, straight from a street style (er, NON-street style?) fashion photo-journalist.
How would you suggest people posing for a regular photo stand for the most flattering shot?
I think breaking a leg—like shifting your weight to one side—for sure. I think it's more flattering—it makes you look more relaxed. Everyone makes fun of me when I tell people, "chin down, chin down." I know a lot of people think it's going to give them a double chin, but to me, looking at people through the top of your eyes is so much more engaging and intense and beautiful. To me, that's how I like to take photos. It's a preference. I think just being natural and not worrying it, just doing an anti-pose is the way. Just be yourself.
Through your fashion week photography, what trends have you noticed this season?
I'm not good with trends. I try and not pay attention to trends just because I feel like it's going to close my vision. I'm probably the last person to ask, because I really do my best to ignore the trends in order to keep an open mind. Really, what the trends come from are the people who [look] the most comfortable in front of the camera. [They] look the coolest, look the most confident—thus people look at those photos and say, "Doesn't she look confident and comfortable? I wanna dress like her."

Turks, Lebanese make hostage deal
BEIRUT — Nine Lebanese pilgrims abducted in Syria and two Turkish pilots held hostage in Lebanon returned home Saturday night, part of an ambitious three-way deal cutting across the Syrian civil war.
Thousands of well-wishers greeted the Shiite pilgrims in Beirut, with one man being carried out of the airport on the shoulders of a crowd. Meanwhile, a plane carrying the two freed Turkish Airlines pilots landed in Istanbul, where Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other officials greeted them.
Their planes departed just minutes apart, crisscrossing in the skies as part of the carefully calibrated plan. The hostage release ends an ordeal that began a year and a half ago when Syrian rebels kidnapped the pilgrims, triggering tit-for-tat kidnappings that included the two Turkish pilots.
The deal, negotiated by Qatar and Palestinian officials, was meant to include freeing dozens of women held in Syrian government jails to satisfy the rebels who abducted the pilgrims. However, it wasn't immediately clear Saturday night whether any of the women had been freed. The Syrian government and its official SANA news agency did not mention any such release.
The nine Shiite pilgrims were kidnapped in May 2012 while on their way from Iran to Lebanon via Turkey and Syria. Turkish Airlines pilots Murat Akpinar and Murat Agca had been held since their kidnapping in August in Beirut.
Their abductions show how the chaos from the Syrian civil war, now in its third year, has spilled across the greater Middle East. The men described facing similar despair and hardships while in captivity.
"For the first 15 days, we were kept in a room and didn't see the light of day," Akpinar said in a hastily organized news conference after landing in Istanbul. He said he and his colleague were guarded by dozens of gunmen. "It was impossible for us to escape," he said.
In Beirut's international airport, hundreds of relatives shouted and screamed as the pilgrims filed in. Most of the freed men wore tidy plaid shirts, their faces visibly tired.
"My son, my son!" one woman sobbed.
Dozens of green-clad Lebanese soldiers tried to keep order as crowds heaved forward.
One pilgrim accused his kidnappers of not offering the hostages medical care.
"We wished that any of them had any kind of values," said the pilgrim, who did not give his name in the chaos. "We were with people who couldn't tell a female camel from a male camel," he said, referring to an Arabic proverb to describe an ignorant person.

The concept here is "Chinoiserie-meets-art nouveau," as best as we can tell, meshing the hotel's original 100-year-old structure with Asian script and Buddhas throughout. In the rooms, this comes across as black-lacquer cabinetry, silky smooth linens, and freestanding bathtubs with a mosaic of a dragon on the exterior. The spa is small but management compensates with in-room treatments. At peak times the lobby hums with a motley collection of moneyed Europeans chatting with the Czech staff wearing Chinese outfits. Guests get to use a separate entrance for the Buddha Bar, and breakfast is served in the more continental Siddhartha Café.

The School of Music at Illinois Wesleyan University offers an intensive program of study based on a tradition of excellence and, at the same time, forward-looking and flexible curricula geared to the needs of the individual.
All students at Illinois Wesleyan have opportunities to perform in the Collegiate Choir, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Civic Orchestra, University Choir, Symphonic Winds, Titan Band, Chamber Singers, and brass, woodwind, string, and percussion chamber ensembles.
The School of Music has been fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music since 1930. The School is housed in Presser Hall, constructed in 1929, and the adjoining Alice Millar Center for the Fine Arts, completed in 1973. A full-time faculty of eighteen and part-time faculty of thirty serve approximately 200 music majors and several hundred IWU students who participate in music activities during their college careers. The School of Music sponsored 90+ programs during the 2013-2014 school year, including the Symposium of Contemporary Music, which has in recent years featured renowned composers such as Libby Larsen, Mario Lavista, Louis Andriessen, Shulamit Ran, and Chinary Ung.
School of Music ensembles perform on annual tours, both nationally and internationally. In 2008 and 2012, the Collegiate Choir was selected to represent Illinois Wesleyan at the American Choral Directors Association regional conference, and has toured in Italy, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Spain, and Germany. In recent years, the Jazz Ensemble has toured Japan, England, Scotland, and Italy. Both of these ensembles, in addition to the Wind Ensemble, tour separately throughout the United States each year.
Message from the Director

We believe that this combination provides the best preparations for future success in the world of music. For 149 years, our mission has been to provide students with the comprehensive knowledge and skills required for careers as performing musicians, educators, composers, and scholars. Our distinctive combination of a professional school of music at a liberal arts institution makes it possible to accommodate many different kinds and levels of interest in music. If you are ready to take the next step toward your future in music, then I invite you to explore the numerous opportunities by which to do so at Illinois Wesleyan University."

A recent (June 25) New York Times science section article reports evidence demonstrating how recent decades of air pollution control have allowed more sunlight to reach the earth, (rather than being reflected away by pollution particles) turning into higher levels of heat, and, thereby, warming the earth.
For all those who are so certain that they understand the cause, trajectory and effect of climate change in a rigid, single-minded cause-and-effect paradigm, this should give thoughtful pause.
Some things, though, are certain. ...

SILVER CITY >> Under the setting sun Friday evening, faculty, students, staff, administrators, and families and friends of the graduating class of 2014 gathered at Old James Stadium for Western New Mexico Universities' spring commencement. Former U.S. Senator and astronaut Harrison Schmitt gave the keynote address to the graduating class of 2014. WNMU is graduating 350 students this spring.
Schmitt, who was born in Silver City, commented on his long association with WNMU. His mother once taught there, his father sat on the Board of Regents, and his sister once took classes there, he said.
He then asked how many students would like to live on Mars.
He reminded students that space travel was not thought possible until the Russian Sputnik launch in 1957 and Schmitt provided a history of how ideas about space have often been met with disbelief throughout history. He concluded his history of innovative ideas about space with the comment that the average age of the Apollo space flight was 25.
"Like that generation, you are entering the most productive part of your lives," Schmitt said to the crowd of graduating students. He concluded with a long quote from Edward Abbey, a writer who is known for writing about the southwest and was considered by many as an outsider to the literary establishment.
The quote says, in part: "May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." It is from the preface in Abbey's work of nonfiction, "Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness."
The Association of Students at WNMU President Edna Reyes recognized Professor Emma Bailey as the professor of the year. Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Isaac Brundage recognized the students WNMU is inducting into the Student Hall of Fame. Those students are Kathryn (Ollie) Hoelscher, Anna Johnson, Erica Rasmussen, Edna Reyes and Marcos Villanueva. Brundage also recognized Katherine Moren as the staff employee of the year.
Professor Bailey presented faculty awards. She presented the excellence in professional service award to Curtis Hayes, the excellence in teaching award to Samuel Kadavakollu and the excellence in research award to Deborah Heller.
Shepard then recognized Professor Felipe Ortego for his 50 years of service to the university.
Tasha Cooper, the speaker for the master's degree students, gave a speech. "We have long roads ahead of us," Cooper said. She is graduating with a master's degree in writing. She ended her speech with what she called a sonnet on the expression, I can't.
"You will falter and scrape your knees but I can't will not bar a powerful you."
Katelyn Dean spoke on behalf of the undergraduates.
"Our journey has led us all here to this day," Dean said. She then listed off some of the things she felt all students learn at college that do not fall within the required curricula.
"Mom and dad are not as dumb as we once thought," she said while reading the list. That comment got a laugh from the crowd.
"Keep walking towards that light," Dean concluded. "We have conquered the odds."

Last summer, we brought you pictures from the BMW Welt and the BMW Museum from Munich Germany. While we were there, we also visited the BMW factory plant where they manufacture the cars. The tour took us across the whole building from every stage of the production. We got to see almost everything and it truly is a fascinating place to visit, kinda like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The only thing missing were the umpa lumpas. They probably hide them from the public…
If you are ever in Munich, Germany, drinking beers at a biergarten, you must take a few sober hours off to visit the BMW Headquarters. It's highly recommended for all.
Enjoy this video put together a last summer, but wasn't uploaded until now.

More K-7 scale details with a standard shuttlecraft giving us the true size of the 1701 in relation to the K-7...
I know some will be compelled to say,
"but that image on the left was retconned scale from DS9,"
but it one thing was certain about the 1967 miniature and the AMT kit: there was a "door" of sorts in the same area as the DS9 miniature, and it since a Constitution class could not "land" in that space, it only makes sense that it was some kind of hold for signifcantly smaller craft or cargo. So if DS9 proved anything, it was that AMT's mini 1701 was so out of scale, it should have been added to the kit.

George H. Robinson
You left a memorial card on a Robinson in Spring Place Cemetery in Chatsworth, Murray County, GA. Do you have any information on George 1764-1905. He is the grandfather of my Uncle Bill Robinson. His history says he died in Richland, Texas. I think he must have had a relationship to the Robinsons in Murray County, GA since he is buried there. I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am a Find A Grave volunteer in Polk County, AR.

For your entry for Joseph Lortis you have indicated a date of birth of 12 May 1863.
I am a descendant of this Lortis family in Canada and the date of birth for Joseph Lortis is April 29, 1860 son of Jean-Baptiste Lortie and Esther Giroux of Quebec, Canada.
Did you have a birth record for the May 12, 1863 born in Canada named Joseph. I was unable to find anyone born Lortis on May 12, 1863 in Canada. Please advise at your earliest convenience I would so appreciate it to make sure I also have the right Joseph Lortis. Thank you so much!!

Whitcomb family River Falls
Just seeing possibly if you are related to the Whitcomb family once of River Falls, Wisconsin. I am researching a house I think Colton Whitcomb had built for him. If you are or know much about the family I'd love to hear from you on this. Thank you

Martha (Norton) Smith
I claimed your original request for a photograph of Martha Marie Norton Smith's headstone, however, by the time I got to the cemetery to photograph Martha I noticed your request had been removed. Since there was no plot information provided I looked up all Martha Smith's in this cemetery and, unfortunately, did not find a listing for Martha Marie Norton Smith. I have photographed all of the Martha Smith's at Baltimore National and uploaded the photographs. I noticed that Martha's husband Henry was buried in the Virginia Veterans Cemetery in Amelia County, Virginia. Normally if the spouse was not military they will be interred in the same cemetery as their military spouse. Is it possible that Martha is buried with Henry in Virginia as would be the standard since Henry was military and Martha was not?
Kind regards,

Markets at Key Level
by Barry Ritholtz - March 28th, 2011, 7:45am
I have previously mentioned key levels to watch on various markets. I have been especially watching the S&P500 levels at 1310-15 — and we are right there.
Today's trading is going to be crucial . . .
Category: Markets, Technical Analysis
Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

I'm not sure why you see 1310-15 as a key level. The 7% sell off was needed for the next move higher. POMO operations will continue for 3+months, which should support the market for at least 4-10 weeks. Also the VIX collapsed last week, offering potential clues that the Bernanke put is still very much in play.
The index is above all key moving averages and should move higher at least until the beginning of earnings season… imo …
Ivan71 says:
The question is when the market will get out ahead of the end of QE (if there is indeed going to be an end to QE). POMO may continue, but as the market begins to come to the realization that the Put is coming to an end, the crowd may begin to quietly exit the theater. My guess is the smart ones already have (unless they know something regarding future QE).
Plosser's comments over the weekend notwithstanding.
curbyourrisk says:
Come on Barry…… What is so crucial about Benny having you back????
Him and his InkJets ain't about to let anything go down. No matter how high the price of oil goes. No matter how much of you paycheck you have to pay for the necessetities. As long as he is in control (ha ha…that's funny) everything goes up…….stocks……bonds….food…..oil…..gas…. just buy the f@cking dip…..and walk away.
It's all a joke.
tagyoureit says:
Still 75% cash?
BR: A little over 60% cash
cognos says:
My Oil chart shows oil prices down 26% since July 2008 (almost 3 years of down, down, down) and oil stands at a $103 handle this morning.
Furthermore, despite significant Mid East tensions… that is, real REVOLUTIONS in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and others brewing… Oil was $95 on May 3rd, 2010. Oil was $81 in June of 2009. The price does not seem very high.
Doesnt seem like "Bernanke is causing oil prices to skyrocket…" paints a very accurate picture.
The reason to "buy the dip" is because corporate earnings and cash flow are very, very strong and this is the recovery part of the business cycle. S&P500 will do $100 in EPS this year… which means the index will price 1,400 to 1,600… possibly even higher in about a year. Of course, select stocks will do even better so if you're good at that… its another 30-50% year.
curbyourrisk says:
Bull crap. There are no fundamental reasons for oil to be where it is except for the dollar ebing forced lower…creating under higher prices.Oil ramped up on blatant speculations on both occassions. I don;t want to hear any crap about oil not being expensive. There have been NO disrutpions in the flow of oil since any of the REVOLUTIONS =you speak about started. There has been absolutely NO PICKUP IN DEMAND for oil either. In fact, there has been a lowered demand from China over the previous 4 motnhs. Let's see going froward with NO demand for production coming from Japan what happens. you can take your positive spin on things and take it somewhere it actually impresses people. Corproate earnings are only there due to CUTS in expenses. what happens when youc an;t cut anymore??? There is no wage pressures on companies. They let people go….don;t replace them and expect more out of people already working. That is not a growth environment….in fact, over the long run, it is a vey big negative for corporations. As for cash flow……..companies are more highly levered now than at any time in history….. it is all bullshit…….When reality sets in…and the market is no longer massaged higher by the felatio master Ben Bernanke…lets se how trading goes. As for now, you continue to follow your pipe dreams. I don;t give a shit about the market……I care about the economy and what it means for my kids and their kids going forward.
I am sick and tired of all the polyannas screaming profits at the expense of our kids. You should all go die in a fire. Stop the goddam generationa ldebt and take some fiscal responsibility.
Sorry Barry..I know this is your forum…in a real pissy mood today and al the bullshit stories in the market today are not helping.
curbyourrisk says:
Cognos…how is this for reality??
Go ahead…say what you will about Denninger….He is right A LOT more than most of other pundits out there. And HE stands by everything he says……..
cognos says:
Curb –
Here is Denninger in Jul 2009: "the consumer has hit a wall"
Still stupid after 2 full years… same g-d thing.
cognos says:
Please try to read real intelligent wealthy people… they are not often on CNBC. In fact they often keep a low profile. But they tend to have $Bs and their clients are very happy:
Good examples: Soros, Tudor, Bill Gross, Steve Cohen, Ray Dahlio, Bill Ackman, Einhorn, the best macro research guy is Ed Hyman at ISI, Bogle is smart… but an indexer, Peter Lynch was a master "buy line out the door"… AAPL, CMG, GMCR, DECK… he would be doing great. Ken Fisher is not so bad. Bob Doll at Blackrock. Etc.
Even Buffet… who has been S&P +100 bps for 15 years… even he is bullish on equities.
econimonium says:
curbyourrisk, you know what I'm sick of? People trotting out the "screaming profits at the expense of our kids" utter crap. You know what? I'll say this out loud: I don't care about my kids or yours. Especially yours or anyone else's. You had them, you worry about them. My dad didn't care about my finances I was raised to worry about my own and deal with circumstances as they were dealt. Do the same and such rather non-specific and crappy lines will disappear from your posts along with your anger. And if you remove this emotion and political bias from your trading habits you'll learn to love Big Brother too.
I do, however, believe that consumers will have to make choices in the face of stagnant wages and high unemployment. So I play equities with this in mind. I'm very heavy in cash and selective bonds right now. Looking at equity charts has made me come to the conclusion that everything is ahead of itself given current financial realities. So where's the upside? Better to wait a bit and buy selectively given what I said in the first sentence. And buying near a pullback is all you need to make money. You don't have to hit it exactly. Anything discretionary is suspect and will be volatile as long as unemployment is high. And remember I'm going to say it here first: Apple is WAY over-valued. The time to buy it will be when Steve Jobs finally passes, depending on how it gets hammered. Now there was a statement designed to get you to take your emotion out of trading. Those of you who reacted emotionally to that sentence are the ones I like to take the opposite side of a trade with because I'm guaranteed to win.
rootless says:
I'm curious. Is your relative cash or stock allocation, like the 60% now, based on a mathematical algorithm, which gives this a bit more an objective touch? Or are these relative allocations more subjectively based decisions you make? Thanks.
Ivan71 says:
Why focus just on oil prices? Why not look at the CRB as a whole? Higher than 2008 by a longshot.
The difference is that a lot of it is in food prices. And it's still in the pipeline, coming to a supermarket near you. Oh, I know. Let them eat cake.
Sure, it'll end well.

crunched says:
No QE3 = Market down. And there is no way in hell there will be QE3.
Do you really think the hedge funds and squids will wait until the last week of June to sell? Throw in the Japan impact… any prudent manager will be selling NOW or has already sold.
cognos says:
Curb –
I dont understand what "companies" these are you review… every restaurant I want to go to is FILLED at any good time. Every hotel is BOOKED. The good dentists are all FILLED for appointments. Car sales are up massively since the trough (up about 50%) and one cannot get a high-demand BMW or Audi without a 3-month wait. One cannot get an iPad without a 1-month wait.
WFMI is jammed and growing fast. As is CMG. As is DECK. As is OPEN. Etc, etc.
Yet… to you… this is not a recovery? It hasnt really even begun… the next 2 years are the real sweet spot.
I am already up 100-150% since the bottom. Didnt actually lose that much in the downturn. I am not worried about "not losing 20%" in some event… Im worried about making 60% instead of 30% from hard work and smart risk taking.
Every word you said was said in a dozen recoveries before… 1982 old men said the same thing, "too much debt, country broken". They said the same thing in 1992. Its stupid.
cognos says:
The farmers I know (midwestern roots) are all licking their chops buying the biggest, newest combines (see CAT, DE) and loving the profit potential of current corn, soy, beef, and dairy prices. North Dakota has the lowest unemployment in the US at 4%.
Etc, Etc.
krice2001 says:
Well Barry hasn't "sold" but he has said that he's more than 60% cash, not a huge change from his last stated position that I read which was about 70% cash. I'm assuming that the decrease from 70% to 60%reflects primarily targeted buys resulting from the recent mini-slump.
I try to follow Barry's advice and positions as closely as possible for my own sake/safety/opportunities. I don't trade for a living so I'm fairly ignorant. I'm in defense research and development (management level) for a number of years now so what do I know about markets? Not too much.
Just seems that the market has not priced in the yet to be determined after effects of Japan, higher oil prices, corporate profit margins at extreme highs, equities that haven't really corrected for several months, confusion about what's happening and will happen in the middle east. And then of course, QE may be coming to an end in June.
I'm currently light on equities as I don't feel like the risk/return ratio is very good right now and as a non-trader, I'm not very agile to resp0nd to quick turns in the market.
cognos says:
But you dont need to be "agile" Krice2001.
This is year 3 of the 5 year "recovery" part of the business cycle. Just buy and hold, buy on dips. Leading indicators continue to show a very strong recovery.
After the Fed tightens for 2-years… and the curve is flat to inverted… its prob time to exit.
curbyourrisk says:
I hope they enjoy the curernt price hikes…once the QE stops they collapse. The rise is not due to demand, but speculation. We sell into that market, amongst many others,. We too are enjoying all the profit right now…but we ain't stupid. We see whats ahead and are hedging ourselves accordingly. By thew way. No one lives in North Dakota unless they have to work there. How is the unemployment rate in Nevada? Florida? Texas? California? New York??????
Come on…since when do we base economic views on the employment level in North Dakota. I would have expected more than that from you.
rootless says:
So according to you, everything is just peachy and fine and back to normality now, like it was in the years before the Great Recession. And there is no such thing as too much debt in an economy. Ever. Debt levels to GDP can grow infinitely.
Why again have the extraordinary Quantitative Easing measures by the Fed still been in place, if the economy is booming like after every garden variety recession since WW II? Remind me, please. Somehow this doesn't go together with your cheerleading point of view.
I am already up 100-150% since the bottom. Didnt actually lose that much in the downturn.
So down only 50 to 75% during the downturn, while waiting for the sell signal that the PE ratio based on 12 month operating earnings is going above 20, and therefore busy with buying the BIG DIP all the way down? And now up 100 to 150% since the low in March 2009?
I am not worried about "not losing 20%" in some event… Im worried about making 60% instead of 30% from hard work and smart risk taking.
I have read your forecast. S&P500 at 3000 in only a few years from here.
cognos says:
Curb –
Lets pick this up at 1,400 and then 1,500 and beyond.
Payrolls will continue to grow, economy will continue to strengthen and stock will continue to go up… because its a recovery, duh!
No amount of data (ALL ecnoomic data points this way — ISM, payrolls, claims, yield curve, leading indicators, etc)… or arguement will convert bad investors.
rootless says:
Im worried about making 60% instead of 30% from hard work and smart risk taking.
To what "hard work" are you referring here? To the "hard work" that is required to redistribute money from other people's pockets into your own? Because that's what trading in the stock market actually is. Not really different to the kind of the "hard work" of a bank robber, which he applies to acquire his loot. Only latter is illegal and socially ostracized, whereas former is not.
louiswi says:
Can we have some clarity on the Federal Reserve. It isn't run by "one guy" contrary to popular opinion. There are seven governors and they are supported by an absolute shitload of MBAs. Their charge is to maintain price stability AND to work toward full employment. IMHO, they are doing a masterful job considering the mess they have had to deal with. The mess created by the political industry.
curbyourrisk says:
Payrolls will continue to grow???? Excuse me, but just because they are no longer falling off a cliff…that does not mean they are growing….. That is an outright lie!
Just becuase the stocks are going up, does not nor has that ever meant the economy is strangthening…. Stocks do, what stocks want to do…or in this case, what they are FORCED to do.
By the way, I am not an investor….and I have clearly said that on other posts….not today though. I used to be a stock jockey……back in 1998-2003, but that was another lifetime ago.
By the way……for every data point you use, I can find one that says you are flat out wring, but then again. you prould probably dismiss that because it disagrees with you…..OBJECTIVE ananlyss highlights ALL DATA, whether you like it or not.
based on the references you chose to utilize for your research, I bet you also believe in GLOBAL WARMING and PEAK OIL……slective data to yield pre-determined views.
rootless says:
based on the references you chose to utilize for your research, I bet you also believe in GLOBAL WARMING and PEAK OIL……slective data to yield pre-determined views.
That's funny, since I thought of the strong possibility that cognos was an anthropogenic global warming denier, just because of his approach to outright dismiss any data as "bad" data, when those data contradict his preconceived views, like AGW-deniers do with respect to the findings of climate science on global warming. But maybe latter doesn't contradict his views, so he doesn't do in this case.
econimonium says:
Why is it when someone says "Peak Oil" or mentions gold is it that I just stop listening? Same for using the phrase "fiat currency" if you're not in a heavy discussion about explaining the reserve system in an academic way….
rootless says:
Payrolls will continue to grow, economy will continue to strengthen and stock will continue to go up… because its a recovery, duh!
Your reasoning about this alleged automatism between economic expansion and rising stock market is fallacious, since it's based on at least two too simplistic assumptions.
The first assumption is that economic expansion is sufficient for a rise in the stock market, no matter what stock market valuations have already been reached.
The second assumption is apparently that earnings just going to continue to go up over the next few years like they have been going up since the low in the earnings cycle, just by extrapolating the past earning growths into the future.
Not saying that markets can't go up further from here. The stock market is largely irrational in the shorter term and not really predictable. There might still be room for further speculative upward movement. What I'm saying is that CAPE is already at >23 and dividend yield is very low. In history, there aren't many cases where as lofty valuations have lasted for long and gone up even higher. That makes investment in the stock market very risky at this point, particularly, if this investment is thought to be for a longer time period.
curbyourrisk says:
louiswi….. Those OTHER Fed Heads you speak of. Do they make policy???
I thought not.
The show IS run by 1 man, with the help of Tim Geithner and the EXPRESS approval of the White House and CONgress.
Ivan71 says:
Its amazing how many people I meet didn't lose much in the downturn, but are up 100-150%. I'm tellin' ya, all these winners and no one admits to losing a dime.
cognos says:
Rootless, Curbyourrisk, and the people they cite…
Still ALL bearish after 2 years of the same arguments.
When does it change? How much data and growth and cashflow is enough?
louiswi says:
It is getting pretty clear you don't know very much.
I know that sounds rude and crass but you are the painter of your picture and that is what I am seeing.
cognos says:
Curb –
I just want to put one final nail in the coffin. All my points have specific data that support growth and recovery. I cite the key data points — ISM, leading indicators, SPX earnings… but often not the data itself bc that is easy enough for anyone to look up. The major problem with most people is that they following lagging data — unemployment or sentiment (you WANT to invest when people are afraid!) or the level of data rather than the positive change.
Payrolls… have been +200k per month recently, up from -700k per month at the trough.
The BEST THEY EVER GET is +300 to 350k. So we are MORE THAN 85% of the way to PEAK PAYROLL and job growth!
How is that not pretty clear to you? You describe this as "not falling off a cliff". Hmm… sounds like bad economics. Id say we are heading to 100% of peak job growth in the next year. Is that not text book recovery?
nandro says:
Cognos – the S%P returned 15% last year and we're up about 4.9% this year, I would love to hear you are making "60% a year" instead of 30% a year…..Wow, with such consisently outstanding returns, and the fact that you don't lose much in the downturn, I'm sure you're running a multi-billion hedge fund by now. I mean that's what people who are able to achieve constently outsized returns do. And it would certainly lead me to wonder what you're doing spending your days putting out snappy little comments about your amazing returns and how obviously the market is going up forever and ever and this is time different, etc. I mean how do you find the time to be an investment genius and a time-wasting middle-of-the-day blog comment doofus?
Please do tell!
PS – Anyone that is not concerned about losing money in the market is not an investor, is not an adult, is not a serious person. They are a gambler, a buffoon, and a child, and eventually they will lose their shirt.
rootless says:
Rootless, Curbyourrisk, and the people they cite…
Still ALL bearish after 2 years of the same arguments.
I wasn't particularly bearish around the stock market low two years ago. I was fully invested and highly levered up back then. And what people are you talking about whom I have cited here, supposedly? Why are you lying here about what I have said and done? Is it because you don't know any rebuttal with substance to what I actually say above, so you need a straw man for distraction?
cognos says:
Nandro -
The point is… the desired profile is not — "never lose money". The desired profile is large upside… lets take David Tepper who's return profile is something like 25% net of fees annually for 20 years. The top hedge fund investors ARE up 20, 30, even 40% annually for a decade or 2.
Tepper was -28% in 2008. And then +120% in 2009. This is a reasonably good goal for your average HNW investor.
The greatest losses occur because one holds cash… forgoing 20% annual returns (or more!) during the run up. You are basically giving the bank your cash at 0% or 1% instead of borrowing!
Most of the extremely wealthy investors I know are not particularly awsome at "avoiding 10% losses"… they made 100x their money in one of the great booms / recoveries that we seem to have after every downturn.
Its all about stock picking… last year BIDU +153%, AAPL +53%, CMG +153%, SIRI +171%; NFLX +218%.
Many names were up 200% or more off the summer lows…
But what I dont get … I dont get it at all… is this "fear" of losing 20%. First, this does not seem to be a big deal. Second… this is the same as being up 15% when one could've and should've been up 35%. Exactly the SAME… Yet there is little fear of that? Why?
cognos says:
Nandro… I AM concerned about not losing 50%… even 30% is too high for me. But I am not all super worried about 10 to 20%. That seems like a silly amount when one can make that each and every year… and really with hard work and a nack for stock picking a really good year is 100% and no down months. (I havent had one of those yet… but my record is pretty good and I am working hard to have one.). I am typically both long and short stocks and try to have significant outperformance on both sides.
Thor says:
Why are so many of the threads lately nothing more than either Cognos or Curb (or both!) arguing the same points over and over and over and over and over again?
rootless says:
Payrolls… have been +200k per month recently, up from -700k per month at the trough.
The BEST THEY EVER GET is +300 to 350k. So we are MORE THAN 85% of the way to PEAK PAYROLL and job growth!
Assuming you are right. Is this supposed to be good news for the economy, considering how many jobs have been lost in the Great Recession and how small the fraction of recovered jobs has been compared to the number of lost jobs? See:
Id say we are heading to 100% of peak job growth in the next year. Is that not text book recovery?
Well, I guess like almost exactly a year ago when you wrote:
Havent we gone from -700k on NFP a year ago… through flat the last 4 months… to +160k in March. I dont know much about trends and the business cycle… but where do you think that is in 3 months? maybe +350k? Howabout 6 months out? +500k?

And hasn't everyone who didn't follow your cheerleading views back then been proven an idiot, too?

SP500 will turn to south somewhere nearby to 1430-1480, it is too early yet.

Each night, when the Sonoma County Fair closes at 11 p.m., everyone goes home.
Except Joel Fleck — his home is at the fair.
Fleck, a Sebastopol law student, is part of the tiny house movement, and he has brought his custom-built 150-square-foot house to the fairgrounds to demonstrate sustainable living.
Tiny Home On Display At The Fair
"I'm here showing how you can live in such a small space, and trying to get people to live simply," said Fleck, 25. "It's kind of eerie walking around at night. If you had clown nightmares, it would be scary. I don't have clown issues, but I might after this."
The tiny house movement was started more than a decade ago partly as a minimalist response to McMansions. One of the movement's founders, Jay Shafer, an Iowan who now lives in Graton, is showing model tiny houses at the fair.
"It's about the freedom of not having to pay for more space that you don't need," said Shafer, who founded two tiny-home companies. "It's about being able to do what you want and not working your butt off to pay for a mortgage."
Fleck had Shafer, who he calls "the god of my people," sign his house: "Joel, Viva La Tiny — Jay." He has parked his house among the model homes next to a sign that says "Tiny Town pop. 1."
On Tuesday, the good-natured Fleck entertained a steady stream of visitors and their endless questions. He spent $25,000 and two years building the house, which usually sits in Sebastopol on a flatbed trailer.
From the outside, the cedar-paneled house looks like a scaled-down cabin with a tiny porch, aluminum roof and dormer windows.
Inside, Fleck has maximized the limited space with storage cupboards and shelves, making the house feel relatively roomy. He spends most of his time on the couch or studying at the desk next to shelves of law books.

Here are a few simple forms of mindfulness practice you can try with your kids.
Lie on your backs with a stuffed animal or pillow on your bellies. Focus on your breathing for a minute or two. Remember, you don't need to change your breathing—just observe the breath as it occurs naturally. The animal or pillow will help you be aware of the rise and fall. When it's time to stop, take a moment to check in with your child and talk about how you both felt before and after. If your mind starts to wander (and inevitably it will!), try to be aware of it and bring yourself back to the focus on your breathing.
Find a place to sit with your child for a few minutes. It could be a public or private space, indoors or outside. Ask your child to focus on what she hears in the surrounding area and explain you'll do the same. You can close your eyes or keep them open, depending on what's most comfortable, but try to pay attention to sounds. After a minute or so, talk about what you heard. What stands out most? How did various sounds make you feel (calm, happy, annoyed, scared?). Did they bring up memories or associations? Remember not to judge. There are no right or wrong answers.
Practice following an itch. Sit or lie down, and take a moment to bring your attention to an itch anywhere on your body, but don't scratch it. Attend to the sensation; does it wax and wane in intensity? Does it go away? Try to stay focused on it. Also be aware of judgments; if there is no itch, don't judge yourself, simply scan your body and make note of that.
When driving or walking home one day, try to make it a mindful practice. Don't call a friend or family member, or even listen to music. Simply notice what is in front of you (or around you) and describe what you see. Take note of when and how long your mind wanders and attempt to keep bringing your focus back each time this happens for the duration of the walk or ride home. You can prompt your child or teen to do the same, either with you, or on their own.
When you see your child doing three things at once—doing homework, listening to music, and instant messaging with friends, for instance—remind him to take a moment and focus on one thing at a time. This could mean just closing his eyes and really listening to the song he's playing on his headphones; stopping to actually call his friend and spend five minutes chatting about how they are, giving the conversation his full attention; or taking a break to go outside or just sit quietly and focus on his breathing for a minute.

The post Practicing mindfulness can improve your child's focus, test scores and overall well-being. These exercises can help. appeared first on Yoga Everyone.]]>
Some children are excited to see their friends and teachers and share tales of their vacation adventures, some are nervous with anticipation of new classes and some are sad that the summer is over.
Parents also enter into a transition in routine and engagement. Perhaps there's a sense of relief that we can return our focus to work, perhaps a sense of sadness as our children grow older, and maybe there is also a sense of gratitude as we reflect on warm memories with our family and our summer activities.
What serves parents in transitions like these — regardless of the time of year — is the quality of attention we bring to each moment. Called mindfulness, this is the practice of truly being present at home and at work by listening and participating with our children, family and co-workers. It also includes listening to ourselves, what our mind and body are telling us.
Learning to be more mindful, and helping our children learn as well, can improve our overall health and well-being, improve our focus and creativity, boost test scores, yield better sleep, more kindness and empathy, better coping skills and more self awareness.
The next time you sense something is brewing with your child and have ruled out hunger, tiredness or hormones, come to the same level with them and make eye contact. Listen to them. Repeat back what you hear. Encourage them to breathe — consciously — and model it. Breathe together, in and out, three times. Ask them how they feel in their bodies as they breathe. Taking the time to connect with them as they are experiencing something can help them find balance and calm. When we as parents dismiss or try to change or fix children's behavior, that is often when the behavior escalates and disconnection occurs.

It serves us well to remember that the Band is different than the artist. That is to say, Harriet Brown is not a person. In keeping, Harriet Brown was not just born, on a day, as people are. Harriet Brown is a work; an outlet; the outward face of a body that's been developed, designed; HB has been kneaded, channeled, likely shuddered over in the night.
Aaron Valenzuela's music demands attention, but not in the extroverted way of an acquaintance or an instructor. It's an inside job, calling up from the gut, begging you to close your eyes and humor what's happening. Valenzuela's voice and style recall plenty of contemporaries — anyone from Victoria Legrand to Dev Hynes. You only have to see him in person to realize that, quite obviously, he's nothing like either of those musicians, and likely quite different than anybody who came before him.
There's an official Harriet Brown release coming in June. Stay up.

Samsung, Yahoo confirm Internet@TV content service
updated 03:20 pm EST, Mon January 5, 2009
TV Widgets dates confirmed
Samsung announced on Monday that certain HDTVs in its 2009 line-up will feature the Internet@TV content service first introduced this past summer. The service will be made possible thanks to the Yahoo Widget Engine, an applications platform in its fifth-generation that will bring Internet connectivity to users' living rooms via a number of what the company calls "TV Widgets." Initially, users will be able to check their stocks and news headlines and also browse Internet-based videos and photos as well as interacting with friends.
The compatible Samsung HDTVs connect to the Internet via their built-in Ethernet port or an optional wireless USB dongle that then connect to an existing network. Yahoo-owned online services such as Flickr, Yahoo News, Yahoo Weather and Yahoo Finance can be accessed via the HDTV, as well as USA Today, YouTube, eBay and Showtime Networks, to name a few. Eventually, the content will expand to include video streaming from other sites and other commonly used Internet services, as developers will have access to an open-platform Widget Development Kit (WDK) to create their own lightweight Javascript and XML applications.

Today in Copenhagen, ministers and senior officials from more than a dozen donor countries(1) met for the second time this year to discuss how to enhance and accelerate our coordinated efforts to scale up climate finance. In particular, we have focused on how to most effectively use public resources and policies to mobilize private investment in low-emission, climate-resilient activities in developing countries.
We are committed to the goal of mobilizing $100 billion per year by 2020 from both public and private sources to support mitigation and adaptation in the context of meaningful and transparent action by developing countries. We recognize that scaling up different forms of financial support will be essential to facilitate the urgently needed transition to a low-emission, climate-resilient economy in developing countries.
Developed countries fulfilled the "fast start finance" commitment, having provided over $30 billion in public climate finance to developing countries between 2010 and 2012. While maintaining continuity in the collective provision of public finance at increasing levels, in 2013 we also turned our attention to longer-term objectives for mobilizing private climate finance and ways to coordinate more effectively to achieve those objectives.
To contribute to these efforts, we convened our first climate finance ministerial in Washington DC on 10-11 April 2013 to discuss the drivers of investment in climate-friendly infrastructure and how public finance channels and public policies could do more to scale-up such investment. We agreed on the importance of a sustained commitment to public finance, delivered through a variety of instruments and institutions, both as a catalytic tool to spur private flows and as a means of addressing areas with limited potential for private investment. We considered the barriers to scaling up private investment and the public tools needed to unlock that investment, including technical assistance, risk mitigation instruments, debt and equity instruments, and incremental cost financing. We agreed to improve coordination among donor countries in order to develop and deploy financing strategies, and that such coordination must be complemented by strong engagement with developing countries. We noted the importance of action by developing countries to improve their enabling environments and invest domestically. We also noted the specific challenges faced in mobilizing finance for adaptation, in particular private sector investment in adaptation activities.
In Washington, we worked with financial institutions to launch the new work to strengthen the role of relevant public finance institutions in mobilizing climate finance and to examine new ideas for leveraging private investment. Today's meeting in Copenhagen provided an opportunity to take stock of this work and consider next steps, noting that all actors should strive to achieve coordinated efforts and avoid duplication.
Development finance institutions (DFIs) play a key role in channeling public financial resources to support public and private sector investment in developing countries. On 4 September 2013, KfW and OPIC co-hosted a special full-day meeting of CEOs and high-level representatives from 15 donor country DFIs and development banks on ways to scale up their climate finance. They agreed to enhance their collective efforts to support green investments in developing countries and emerging economies and contribute to the $100 billion goal. They agreed to (1) pursue mechanisms to further increase support for clean energy investments; (2) work towards harmonized guidelines to limit projects which lead to significant fossil fuel based greenhouse gas emissions; (3) help increase demand for clean finance in developing countries; and (4) explore pathways to increased transparency of carbon emissions in their reporting. The DFIs agreed to several next steps that will further enhance their support and coordination.(2)
Export credit agencies (ECAs) are among the largest public institutions that support investment in energy infrastructure projects worldwide and have a significant role to play in climate finance. On 19-20 September 2013, the Danish export credit agency EKF hosted a workshop with participation from ECA representatives, along with other experts from international organizations and the private sector, to discuss how ECAs are contributing and can further contribute to mobilizing private climate finance. ECAs have the ability to mitigate the risks that may discourage the private sector from engaging in new technologies and insecure markets. During their meeting, the participants developed and shared new ideas for scaling up climate finance approaches and instruments. On the basis of these discussions, EKF has prepared a "Catalogue of Ideas" to encourage dialogue on new technical approaches that can be developed within individual ECAs or in cooperation among ECAs, ideas that require coordination in the appropriate bodies such as the OECD, and higher-level political ideas that ministers can help advance, in order for ECAs to contribute further to mobilizing private climate finance.(3)
Multilateral development banks (MDBs) and multilateral climate funds are already playing a transformative role in the transition to a low-emission economy and have the potential to do much more. A series of new activities in 2013 has aimed at sharpening the response of the MDBs to the climate finance challenge. High-level representatives of MDBs and donor countries met twice, in April and October, to advance the agenda on leveraging private investment in climate action. The MDBs reported on work in three important areas: (1) the development of guidelines for offering concessional loans; (2) efforts to better engage the private sector; and (3) progress on tracking of their climate finance, especially on measuring private funds leveraged. More structured exchanges among the MDBs, the private sector, and policymakers to advance the climate finance agenda are planned. Meanwhile, the ongoing development of the Green Climate Fund, including its Private Sector Facility, provides an opportunity to promote a paradigm shift and to test new approaches to catalyzing private investment for mitigation and adaptation in developing countries.
- Public-private platform - As we expand financing tools delivered through existing institutions, we are working to improve the interface between the public and private sectors. Among other initiatives, several donor countries are now working together with private investors, multilateral institutions, and developing country stakeholders on a public-private platform aimed at defining and piloting new climate finance instruments to leverage private investment in low-carbon, climate-resilient infrastructure. The platform would stress test and compare specific proposals, helping to bring to reality a handful that have potential to play a transformational role in channeling private capital at scale.
We recognize other areas for collaborative work, including developing methods for tracking mobilized private climate finance. In this regard, we support the ongoing technical work of the Research Collaborative on Tracking Private Climate Finance, coordinated by the OECD. This will provide useful tools for countries to consider how to track mobilized private climate finance.
The work undertaken in 2013 has begun to lay the groundwork for an ambitious and wide-ranging set of efforts aimed at catalyzing low-emission, climate-resilient investment in developing countries. We recognize that much work remains to develop the tools necessary to shift the global economy in this direction. Going forward, we will continue to work closely together and with developing countries at both the political and technical levels to expand the range and scale of climate finance solutions for mitigation and adaptation.
Specifically, we applaud the DFIs for agreeing to the four areas of work outlined above and encourage them to continue to pursue these areas to further scale up their support. We welcome the ECAs' catalogue of ideas and encourage more work to implement those ideas that will help scale up mobilized climate finance while coordinating more effectively with other finance institutions. We encourage further work by the MDBs to scale up climate finance, develop tracking methods to measure private climate finance leveraged, and to more fully mainstream climate change considerations into their strategies and operations, including by integrating environmental costs of greenhouse gas emissions in their socio-economic assessment of projects. Together with developing countries partners, we are also working expeditiously to operationalize an ambitious Green Climate Fund. We also support ongoing work to develop and launch a public-private platform to design and help implement new approaches to mobilizing private investment. We look forward to taking stock of this ongoing work when we meet again in 2014.
This initiative complements a wide range of bilateral and multilateral actions to mobilize climate finance. We will continue to report on our collective and individual work and look forward to a broader dialogue at the in-session high-level ministerial dialogue on climate finance at the UN climate conference in Warsaw.

Lucca: L'Antico SigilloVia Degli Angeli 13 , Phone: 0583.91.042
Reviewed by: Jeff Whiteaker from CA, review #2530
When: 2007
A surprisingly good find in a town that (to us, at least) seemed a bit lacking in genuinely great restaurants.
The fact that the menu posted in the window was written in Italian, English, and German prompted us to pass Antico Sigillo by initially. Seeing menus translated into English is common even among genuinely good restaurants, but places that add German or other languages to the mix often scream "tourist trap". But the menu here actually looked promising, and we'd read some very good reviews beforehand. And when precious few other restaurants within Lucca's walls called out to us that evening, we wandered back to Sigillo. By this point, they'd been open for a little while and had set up several tables outside along the narrow street, which was an absolutely perfect way to enjoy the warm, May evening weather.
Because of our menu snobbery, expectations were mixed, but luckily Sigillo proved our "tourist trap" assumptions wrong. For example, I was thoroughly wowed by my primi of Tortelli in a Truffle cream sauce. The tartufo flavor was potent and rich, while the Tortelli tasted fresh and expertly cooked. I have a serious Tartufo obsession/addiction, so I was quite happy with this dish. My girlfriend ordered the Pappardelle al Cinghiale, which was quite good, though not as good as the best example we'd had of this Tuscan specialty (which we found at Gallo Nero in Siena). For secondo, we split a large Insalata Mista and the Coniglio - rabbit served in a tangy, oily, thick tomato-based sauce with whole olives. Unlike the Pappardelle, this dish *was* the best example we found of said specialty. The rabbit was perfectly prepared, juicy and tender, while the ultra-flavorful sauce went extremely well, and was pleasantly enhanced by the olives. Overall, this wasn't the best meal of the trip, but a very satisfying experience nonetheless, and certainly one of the best meals we found in Lucca.
The service was extremely friendly (and our waitress happily filled us in on the best gelaterie in Lucca), the Vino Rosso della Casa was genuinely great, and based on this one experience, I would definitely not hesitate to come back here again. Definitely an exception to the food snob's anti-tri-lingual menu rule.
Reviewed by: Debrah from Canada, review #2407
When: 2007
A friendly and local restaurant that has a diverse menu of tasty food at economical prices.
I poked into this restaurant our only day in Lucca as they were cleaning up after lunch. The staff was young and friendly - I could see women in the kitchen punching down dough for supper treats and it looked like a comfortable place to return to for dinner. We returned (without reservations) at 7:30 and were lucky we got there when we did because locals and tourists alike started pouring in shortly afterwards.
The antipasti plates were large and luxurious and the menu included items we had not seen on other menus so far that trip. I chose Mushrooms with Polenta because I make it regularly at home and wanted to check out the Italian version. It was creamy and tasty and plentiful. My partner had a rabbit stew dish that he happily chomped his way through. We had 1 antipasto, the Polenta dish, the Rabbit, two beers and a large mineral water and two desserts and the bill came to a reasonable 38E.
We found the restaurant to be friendly with good service. The atmosphere was fun and the crowd lively.

Richland County commissioners asked Codes and Permits representative Steve Risser for a review of the office's revenue over the past 3½ years.
The objective is to determine whether fees need to be raised to fill personnel vacancies. The request came after Risser reported it might be difficult to hire and train someone to fill a vacant inspector position.
"The salary and rates most people are making now are in the $23-to-24 dollar per hour range, so there's going to be a decrease for people to come to work for us and go through the training program," Risser said. "We're 10-to-20 percent below the ...
