The Amarillo Venom's 52-51 loss to West Texas in the regular-season finale last weeked seemed to be a fitting end to a disappointing 2014 season.
With high hopes of a third straight Lone Star Football League championship, Amarillo finished the year 5-7, missing the LSFL playoffs for the first time since the league was created in 2011.
"This season will be considered a loss," Venom head coach Julian Reese said in his final meeting with the media last week.
Many fans think it was the loss of quarterback Nate Davis that kept this team from finding its groove.
The Venom had trouble replacing Davis, who helped lead Amarillo to back-to-back LSFL titles in 2012 and 2013.
Amarillo went through five quarterbacks in 2014. Venom head coach Julian Reese even activated himself toward the end of the season, though the 32-year old never had to suit up.
But despite the revolving door at quarterback, Reese said he doesn't feel that was the problem with this year's squad.
"I didn't think it effected us," Reese said. "We still put up points, and I feel it was mostly mental mistakes.
"You have to be mentally strong in life. Some of our guys didn't really grasp that throughout the season but they started to. If you look at the games we played and lost even look at our last game everything we did was mental. Whether it was a pick or blown coverage, whether we didn't run the right route that is all mental."
Reese was also quick to put blame on himself telling me that he needed to coach better.
The Venom not playing for an LSFL championship is bad for business in my opinion.
They are by far the darlings of this league thanks to owners Toby and Stephanie Tucker. The Tucker's have made this organization community driven doing everything the right way. They are head and shoulders above the rest of the teams in attendance, they provide entertainment throughout the games, especially toward families.
The onfield product has never slumped as long as they've been the owners until this season. So what changes need to be made in 2015 to get this franchise back on track?
"One thing we've already discussed between Toby, Julian and I is we had a championship team starting this year," Stephanie Tucker said. "I feel the season was plagued with injury or players moving up to another level and that hurt our chances. We'll work harder in the offseason. We also have a handful of players that moved their families and have gotten jobs to make Amarillo home so that will help. We were a young team, injuries hurt. I'd say we'll focus heavily on filling primary positions for next year."

Error 554 No relaying allowed: psmtp
Issue: Outgoing messages from your mail server are rejected by the message security service with the error: "554 No relaying allowed - psmtp"
This Help Center article is for Postini, a suite of Google services that's now discontinued. If you're searching for instructions related to Google Apps, see the Google Apps Help Center. For instructions related to Google Apps Vault, see the Vault Help Center.
Symptoms: You are routing outgoing mail through the message security service. Since the security service does not handle mail for the sending domain, the traffic is bouncing.
Resolution: You can troubleshoot this issue as follows:
- Check the DNS MX entries for the mail server in question (e.g. for mail server mail.domain.com). From a UNIX prompt type: "dig mail.domain.com mx"
You may see results like this:
mail.domain.com. 1H IN CNAME domain.com. domain.com. 1H IN MX 100 domain.com.sNa1.psmtp.com. domain.com. 1H IN MX 200 domain.com.sNa2.psmtp.com. domain.com. 1H IN MX 300 domain.com.sNb1.psmtp.com. domain.com. 1H IN MX 400 domain.com.sNb2.psmtp.com. domain.com. 1H IN MX 500 mail.domain.com.
In this case there is an CNAME entry for mail.domain.com pointing back to the domain which has DNS MX records routing to the security service.
- Remove the CNAME and create an A record for the mail host.

This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession (edition 2007)
by Daniel J. Levitin
Work details
This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel J. Levitin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Ok, so, I didn't hate this book; the book has some pretty cool facts that make you think. I just couldn't get into a rhythm with this book. This is Your Brain on Music is very well written and presented. I found it to be dry; which is probably why I tend not to read much non-fiction. Also, being a musician for the better part of my life, the elementary theory sections, while useful to non-musicians, were not of value to me. So I skipped a good portion of the first part of the book. So if you are into science and have a fancy for music this is a good read for you; however, if you are a musician who, like me, isn't that into science (I was terrible at science in college)this is one to bypass.
Very interesting. Never did finish because I wanted to ingest it and that took longer than the library would let me keep it for. Love the science angle.
I liked that this book started with a primer on music and then moved into the neurology involved in listening to music. This was a really interesting book and I'm wondering if my guitar-playing son would appreciate it.
La materia riveste sicuro interesse, e gli aneddoti musicali sono buffi. La parte neurologica è invece per me assai noiosa, anche se l'autore ce la mette tutta per renderla intelleggibile, simpatica e discorsiva.
Codice Edizioni sembra comunque gravida di titoli interessanti.
This is another of those books well worth finishing that I simply didn't finish. I allowed myself to be sidetracked by other books.
But it's a fascinating book. After a detailed analysis of the elements that comprise music, the author looks carefully at how music affect the brain and its emotions. It's filled with fascinating factoids about the nuances of popular recordings.
But I didn't finish it. Shame on me.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0452288525, Paperback)
Music, Science, and the Brain are more closely related than you think. Daniel J. Levitin, James McGill Professor of Psychology and Music at McGill University, shows you why this is.
In this groundbreaking union of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin (The World in Six Songs) explores the connection between music, its performance, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it, and the human brain. Drawing on the latest research and on musical examples ranging from Mozart to Duke Ellington to Van Halen, Levitin reveals:How composers produce some of the most pleasurable effects of listening to music by exploiting the way our brains make sense of the world Why we are so emotionally attached to the music we listened to as teenagers, whether it was Fleetwood Mac, U2, or Dr. Dre That practice, rather than talent, is the driving force behind musical expertise How those insidious little jingles (called earworms) get stuck in our head Taking on prominent thinkers who argue that music is nothing more than an evolutionary accident, Levitin poses that music is fundamental to our species, perhaps even more so than language. A Los Angeles Times Book Award finalist, This Is Your Brain on Music will attract readers of Oliver Sacks, as it is an unprecedented, eye-opening investigation into an obsession at the heart of human nature.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:16:01 -0400)
Explores the relationship between the mind and music by drawing on recent findings in the fields of neuroscience and evolutionary psychology to discuss such topics as the sources of musical tastes and the brain's responses to music.

By Alene Adele Roy
Sanctuary is a historical novel set in 1865, just after the end of the Civil War, as nanny, Rachael Hathaway, arrives to work for Dr. John Davis and his wife. She soon learns that they enjoy a close circle of devoted family and friends, and is surprised by some secrets at this home place. As the nation rebuilds, she has another mission on her mind, besides giving wonderful care to little Lily Davis, a long-standing, unspoken dream, to drill wells for those in need of water. Yet, that goal has competition when she learns of the desperate need for housing within Velvet Villa Village and the Twelve Ponds Territory.
In this saga of mystery, intrigue, love, friendship, and romance, The Summer Cotillion At Black Woods Castle plays an integral part, as music fills the air, amidst the dilemma of the missing horses, the Spice Dock mystery, and a life-threatening injury plaguing one of their own. Who will win Rachael's heart, as two best friends vie for her love and hand in marriage, or will she return home to Bower Farm and her childhood friend, instead of helping her employer, Captain John, achieve his mission and life-long goal of building the Museum Of Ancients?
POND GHOSTS won First Place in the Young Adult Category of the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I have been taking tamoxifen since my breast-cancer diagnosis and treatment six years ago. Now I've read that the drug may cause uterine cancer. How can I respond to this?
DEAR READER: Tamoxifen has been the mainstay of breast-cancer-recurrence prevention for 30 years but has recently been discovered to increase the risk of uterine cancer. Medical authorities advise women at high risk to continue the drug under the supervision of their physicians. This is yet another example of the risk/benefit ratio.
Recent studies have shown that Evista is as effective in preventing a cancer relapse but with fewer side effects. Therefore, many oncologists recommend treatment with both drugs.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report "Breast Cancer and Disorders." Other readers who would like a copy should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
DEAR DR. GOTT: For the reader who recently had trouble swallowing pills, here is what I have discovered.
Use a drinking straw to help you swallow pills. Simply put the pill or pills in your mouth, and then take a sip through the straw, and the pills will go right down your throat without your even thinking about it.
DEAR READER: Good solution. Thanks for sharing.

As OpenMoko CEO Sean Moss-Pultz was announcing his departure from the mobile phone project, he mentioned as an aside that we was indeed working on yet another project. His Plan B has now been completed.
In his Plan B message to the community in June, Moss-Pultz alluded to a possible WikiReader, a small touchscreen device with the entire Wikipedia on a mini-SD memory card. The WikiReader operates neither on a WLAN connection nor 3G. It is currently orderable at $99.
The WikiReader, branded as "Wikipedia in Your Pocket," is keen on making reading Wikipedia an entertainment factor. The device has three buttons, Search for searching, History lists the previous searches and Random calls up a randomly selected article. The device distinguishes itself by its particularly low power usage: the two AAA batteries should last a year under normal use, mainly because the b&w display requires no backlighting.
The lack of external connectivity provides users two alternatives. You can get an annual update subscription for $29 and have an updated Wikipedia sent twice a year on a mini-SD card. Or you can download the 4-8 GByte archives off the Web.
The technology behind WikiReader is similar to that of the offline Wikipedia of the OLPC project. The software eliminates all graphics, renders a highly compressed and indexed archive from the raw text, and unpacks just the text called up in the search. The source code is under GPLv3 and BSD licensing and download is available from Github. Documentation already includes a QuickStart guide for building your own WikiReader.
replyFor $40 this might be the sort of thing that people would buy for each other as Christmas gifts. But $100 for a dedicated device?? I don't know of many people that would go for that. Just spend another $20 on a Nintendo DS and use DSWiki. Or another $60 will get you an iPod Touch. Ah well. I wish them luck! It's a shame they appear to have missed this year's shopping season.

Acer Aspire V5-431P-997B4G50Mass
Average of 1 scores (from 1 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer Aspire V5-431P-997B4G50Mass
Source: Good Gear Guide
This is an inexpensive touchscreen laptop with decent speed and features. At 14in, it's not too big or heavy to carry around on a daily basis, and it's comfortable enough to use for long typing and Web browsing sessions. The touchscreen adds an extra bit of versatility to the unit, too. A good unit for the home or the classroom.

Rating: Total score: 80%
The Aspire V5 has a plastics body and is slimmer and with 2 kg also lighter than the competition. Acer has targeted users looking for a portable machine. In many aspects, this device is average in its class and does not stand out. The 15.6 inch capacitive touchscreen features a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and supports 10-point inputs, which is perfect for the pre-installed Windows 8. Colors are bright and crisp, and the viewing angles leave nothing to complain about. The full-sized chiclet keyboard with number pad offers a decent typing experience. In addition, it comes with an extra- large clickable touchpad with support for Windows 8 gestures.
Inside the Aspire V5 there is a 750GB hard drive, which is a decent amount of storage, and a 1.8GHz Intel Core i3-3217U ULV dual core processor. The performance is sufficient when compared to competitors of the same price range. It can handle light multimedia tasks easily, but is not suitable for hardcore gaming. But, casual social games are not a problem. Considering how thin and light the build is, battery life is a concern. Unfortunately, the Acer Aspire V5 fares much, much worse than the competition here. Overall, this is a good looking, well designed machine for an affordable price. Battery life is its main shortcoming, but if that's not an issue, the Acer Aspire V5 is great value.

CBNNews.com - TEL AVIV, Israel - Defense Minister and Labor party chairman Ehud Barak said in view of Labor's stunning defeat, they will likely sit in the opposition rather than join the coalition.
Labor dropped from 19 seats in the current Knesset, down three from the previous election, to 13 mandates in Tuesday's election.
"We will consider what is best for the party and far more important, what is best for the country," Barak said Tuesday night at Labor's Tel Aviv headquarters.
"We are not afraid to sit in the opposition and serve the people from there," he said.
Some of the Labor's senior members said the party needs to prepare for primary elections to replace Barak as party chairman.
Potential candidates for party head include Ofer Pines-Paz, Isaac Herzog, Amir Peretz and Avishai Braverman.
"Barak has some soul-searching to do, as do those who ran the election campaign," a senior Laborite told YNet news Wednesday evening.
"They pushed everyone aside, made all the decisions on their own, and they have to pay the price," he said.
Labor's constitution calls for party primaries within 14 months following a defeat in the general elections.

About Hepatitis
Harm Reduction
Harm Minimisation is a policy Australia adopted in 1985 aimed at reducing drug-related harm to both the individual and the community. It focuses on the harms of drug use, both licit and illicit, without condoning or encouraging drug use. Under 'Harm Minimisation' come the following strategies:
Supply Control: reducing or controlling the amount of a drug available, primarily through legislation and regulation. Examples of this would be liquor licensing laws, banning the sale of nicotine products to people under 18; prohibition of importing and trafficking of heroin. The major means of enforcing this strategy are through police and customs initiatives such as drug raids and sniffer dogs.
Demand Reduction: encouraging abstinence, encouraging the delay of uptake of drug use, decreasing or ceasing use. This strategy focuses mainly on information and education providing (eg. drug education programmes in schools), regulation (raising alcohol prices through increased taxation) and treatment programmes such as detoxification and rehabilitation programmes or pharmacotherapy provision such as methadone or suboxone.
Harm Reduction: helping people to use drugs in ways that are less harmful. Strategies for harm reduction include providing sterile injecting equipment to injecting drug users, providing education on using drugs less harmfully (such as vein care education), limited alcohol at sporting events to low alcohol beer.
In relation to any drug use, harm reduction is pragmatic and can be described as hierarchical, starting at where the person is 'at' and helping them to move to a less harmful level of use, without necessarily expecting the person to stop their use. A harm reduction hierarchy for injecting drug use could be viewed as a pyramid (see below) with the ultimate goal of safety being abstinence.
In a major 1997 review harm minimisation was recognised as fundamental to the success of Australia's National Drug Strategy. One indicator alone is needed to demonstrate this success and that is the low rate of HIV among injecting drug users in Australia (<5%) compared to the United States (14%). Our widespread use of needle syringe exchange programmes, needle syringe programmes, methadone and suboxone treatment programs and provision of education to injecting drug users all contribute to this success.

With Alabama averaging 33.3 points per game heading into Saturday night's game at Neyland Stadium, Vol defenders had better get their act together in a hurry. Reveiz concedes as much.
"We need to get everybody on the same page," he said. "If you have 10 guys doing it right and one guy doing it wrong, they can bust you for a touchdown. You need to make sure every player does his job. As the Mike (middle) linebacker, I feel that responsibility is on me."
One reason Vol defenders rarely are on the same page is their inexperience. Most never played significant roles prior to this fall.
"I just think we're playing a lot of guys that haven't played very much and we're making a lot of mistakes," senior end Chris Walker said. "It's not what other teams are doing; it's what we're NOT doing. When we watch film we see what we're doing. We just need to stop making the mistakes we've been making."
Asked if the problems are more about alignment or execution, Walker replied: "It's a combination of both. It mostly comes down to getting lined up right and then doing what we're coached to do."
When you look at Tennessee's defensive rankings in the 12-team SEC, it isn't surprising that simply "getting lined up right" has been a challenge:
- No. 12 in total defense (381.0 yards per game)
- No. 11 in sacks (1.17 per game)
- No. 10 in scoring defense (27.5 points per game)
- No. 9 in rushing defense (153.5 yards per game)
- No. 9 in pass defense (227.5 yards per game)
- No. 9 in third-down defense (38.0 percent)
On a positive note, Alabama's offense has sputtered a bit lately, managing just 21 points Oct. 9 at South Carolina and 23 points last weekend against Ole Miss. The Gamecocks and the Rebels managed to slow the Tide's running game a bit, so that will be Job One for Tennessee's defense on Saturday night.
"You've got to minimize the number of missed tackles," Vol head man Derek Dooley said this week. "You've got to play with good technique when you tackle. I think a lot of times you can get a little bit starry-eyed, so you don't use good tackling technique. You've got to play fast and confident and physical and gang tackle."
Even if defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox finds a way to slow Bama's ground game, the Vols may not be able to withstand the ensuing aerial assault. Tennessee's pass defense was horrendous last time out at Georgia, allowing Aaron Murray to complete 17 of 25 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns.
"Our matchup against ANY passing attack has not been good," Dooley grumbled. "As long as they're running routes and throwing the ball, it's a bad matchup."
Tennessee's secondary was burned so often in Games 1 through 5 that it appeared tentative in Game 6 vs. the Dawgs. Dooley won't tolerate that.
"I feel like we just need to play more aggressive," he said. "And if it means we give up some plays, then that's what we've got to do."
Tennessee's deficiencies against the pass are easily explained. A young secondary and a weak pass rush is a lethal combination. Seven sacks in six games won't cut it.
"I think we've got to continue to try to put pressure on the quarterback," Dooley said. "We've made some progress the last couple of weeks at that; getting a little better. That's the key to any good pass defense - quick pressure on the quarterback. And then we've got to play aggressive on the back end. I think we'll get better at it."
Based on this week's SEC statistics, the Vols can't get much worse.

Via unique BioView® method
In conjunction with the many educational events occurring around the globe this September, The Amazing People Club announces the development of its revolutionary and unique concept within the ever-growing area of 'digital' education. By virtual means, the Company has re-created discussions with amazing people who were leaders in science, music, medicine, literature, politics, business, engineering, education and many other fields of endeavour. The term BioView® represents the combination of 'biography'
A psychologist, business consultant, musician, composer, and author, Dr. Charles Margerison founded The Amazing People Club in 2006. He is an innovator with a firm respect for achievers and leaders and the BioView® stories celebrate the 'can do and will do' spirit of creativity, confidence, entrepreneurialism, and more. One of the greatest strengths of the collection is its range and diversity. Imagine if William Shakespeare or Marie Curie and other famous achievers, like Mozart, Montessori, Einstein, or Piaf, returned today and gave an interview about their life and work. The Company's keyword is 'engagement'
As technology continues to surge forward, with the growth of mobile phones, iPad type tablets, internet television, etc. - expectations for audio-visual interaction increase. The BioView® concept is a giant step forward in providing a more integrated approach to learning through the use of the series, enabling students to understand a range of issues and also providing the stimulus for exciting projects in various areas of study. Teachers are provided with interactive, engaging content they can use effectively in the classroom. To explore the series further, the following are some examples of their September promotions.

How come we feel so bad when we've got it so good? Even after a 12% gain in the S&P 500 index this year, uncertainty about the fiscal cliff, increased taxes, and still-high unemployment continue to wear down investors. Year to date, domestic equity funds have seen $110 billion in net outflows.
The new year could bring more of the same if economic uncertainty fails to lift, making the key question for investors not which way the market is headed in 2013, but which stocks are going to go up.
For the third year in a row, Barron's is taking a crack at that question, with our 10 Favorite Stocks for 2013, including blue-chips like Apple aapl 0.7755393118202888% Apple Inc.

No matter which way the market goes, well-run companies should be able to deliver higher revenue and profits, even in a tough environment. All of our new favorites could produce 15% to 20% total returns (including dividends) next year. Here's a closer look:
APPLE is still going strong, even as the company's shares have traded down 23%, to around $540, from a September peak of $705. None of the recent investor concerns -- lower margins, supply constraints, management changes, iPad competition, and the iPhone 5 map fiasco -- are major. It's true that Apple's earnings growth has slowed to a 23% rate from more than 100% a year ago, but that's understandable, given the company's $156 billion in annual sales.
Veteran UBS tech analyst Steve Milunovich recently wrote that it's a "good time" to add to positions in Apple before year end, with the stock trading near its lowest price/earnings ratio in five years after two disappointing quarters. He carries a price target of $780. Apple trades for only 11 times projected profit of $49 a share in its current fiscal year, ending in September 2013. Strip out Apple's huge cash holding of $128 a share, and the effective P/E is just eight.
Even after implementing a dividend -- now providing a 1.9% yield -- and a modest buyback program, Apple should build cash at a rate of $40 billion annually. There's room for a higher dividend and a more aggressive share-repurchase program in 2013. Both could play well with investors.
BARNES & NOBLE'S bookstore division dominates the field, and the company's Nook e-reader unit is holding its own against Amazon.com AMZN 0.9963210904046801% Amazon.com Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD837.31 8.26 0.9963210904046801% /Date(1475269200560-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4225397 AFTER HOURS USD837.7 0.39 0.04657773106734662% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 205169 P/E Ratio 208.58181999352317 Market Cap 396946904075.442 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 522691 More quote details and news » (AMZN) and Apple. These achievements aren't reflected in Barnes & Noble's depressed stock price, which is flat this year at around $14. The stores now control almost two-thirds of the country's retail shelf space for books and are expected to generate more than $300 million of pretax cash flow in the fiscal year ending in April. The stores could be worth the entire current stock price -- Barnes & Noble has an equity value of just $880 million.
The Nook division is losing money, but that reflects a market-share grab, as Barnes & Noble seeks to get its e-readers into the hands of as many consumers as possible and then sell them profitable digital content, including books and magazine subscriptions. Microsoft MSFT 0.34843205574912894% Microsoft Corp.

That implies that Barnes & Noble's 82.4% of Nook is worth $1.4 billion, or $24 a share. While this calculation likely overstates Nook's value, the division probably is worth a good deal more than its implied price of zero.

BLACKROCK received a big vote of confidence this fall when director James Grosfeld purchased nearly 500,000 shares of the investment manager in the open market for $94 million, one of the largest insider purchases in the past decade. Grosfeld, a former CEO of Pulte Homes, wouldn't comment, but he clearly sees value in BlackRock shares, which have lagged behind those of its peers this year.
BlackRock, at $193, is valued at 13 times projected 2013 profit of $15 a share, a slight discount to its rivals; it yields 3.1%. BlackRock is the No. 1 investment manager, overseeing $3.7 trillion in assets. Its iShares is the leading provider of exchange-traded funds, with half of the market.
The three main concerns about BlackRock are that it's too big to grow, that competitive pressure in ETFs from Vanguard will push down fees, and that longtime CEO Larry Fink, viewed as one of his industry's best executives, might leave for the top job at the U.S. Treasury Department. (See Feature "Madame Treasury Secretary?".)
Bulls such as Morgan Stanley analyst Matthew Kelley see double-digit earnings growth next year, driven by iShares. Fink has dismissed talk that he wants to succeed soon-to-retire Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. "I'm not leaving this job," Fink said last week. "I will be at BlackRock as long as my board wants me here."
GENERAL DYNAMICS is best known as a defense contractor, but unlike its peers, it has a valuable nondefense business that isn't reflected in its share price. Gulfstream, a leading maker of corporate jets, produces almost 30% of General Dynamics' profits, and that percentage should rise in the next few years, with deliveries of Gulfstream's new top-of-the-line plane, the G650, which sells for $60 million and can fly nonstop from New York to Tokyo.
General Dynamics, gd -0.2891844997108155% General Dynamics Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD155.16 -0.45 -0.2891844997108155% /Date(1475269433640-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1793398 AFTER HOURS USD155.29 0.13 0.08378448053622067% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 63528 P/E Ratio 16.406720876378593 Market Cap 47367089470.0158 Dividend Yield 1.9592678525393143% Rev. per Employee 312232 More quote details and news » at around $67, looks inexpensive, trading under 10 times projected 2013 profits of $7.32 a share. Gulfstream is expected to generate more than $2 a share of that. Put a P/E multiple of 14 on that contribution, and the private-jet business could be worth $30 per General Dynamics share. This suggests that the defense business -- including tanks, other armored vehicles, and nuclear submarines -- is valued at just seven times forward earnings. Defense contractors face tighter Pentagon appropriations, but the industry probably will avoid draconian reductions in spending, assuming Congress and the president reach a budget deal.
Barclays analyst Carter Copeland argues that General Dynamics could be the only major defense contractor to show higher operating profits through 2015. Incoming CEO Phebe Novakovic, who takes the top job on Jan. 1, could be a positive catalyst. What could be in store? A higher dividend, more aggressive share buybacks, or even a Gulfstream spinoff. The company has rejected the spinoff idea, but some investors think Novakovic might reconsider. Copeland's price target: $87.
JPMORGAN CHASE is a best-in-class bank, trading at a below-average price. At around $42, its shares fetch just eight times projected 2013 profit of $5.31 a share. That's one of the lowest price/earnings ratios among major banks.
JPMorgan is strong in all of its major businesses, including trading and investment banking, asset management, private and consumer banking, credit cards, and processing services. While rivals like Citigroup C 3.1222707423580784% Citigroup Inc.

It was embarrassed by $6 billion of trading losses this year caused by the "London Whale," but CEO Jamie Dimon is determined that a similar event won't occur.
Ross Margolies of Stelliam Investment Management recommended JPMorgan in a recent Barron's interview ("How to Play the Economic Recovery," Dec. 3), saying it should benefit from market-share gains at the expense of weaker European banks. The stock trades at only a small premium to tangible book value. JPMorgan yields 2.9%.
MARATHON PETROLEUM is a leader among independent oil refiners, one of the strongest industry groups in the stock market during 2012. Now trading at about $60, the stock could hit $82, according to Morgan Stanley energy analyst Evan Calio. Refiners have benefited from the boom in oil production in the central U.S. and western Canada, which has enabled them to buy crude at a discount to world prices, bolstering profit margins. That favorable price gap is expected to remain in place next year.
Even with its runup, Marathon mpc 2.1389028686462% Marathon Petroleum Corp.

Marathon's dividend, now 2.4%, probably will rise in 2013.
NOVARTIS combines one of the pharmaceutical industry's best profit outlooks with an overlooked sum-of-the-parts story. At $62 -- 12 times projected 2013 profits -- the giant Swiss drug maker trades in line with its global peers. Its shares yield 3.4%. Profits at Novartis are expected to be down this year, in part because of the loss of U.S. patent protection for the blockbuster blood-pressure drug Diovan. But earnings are likely to rise next year.
Key drivers include Gilenya, a new drug for multiple sclerosis. Novartis also owns Alcon, a leading eye-care outfit, and Sandoz, one of the world's top generic-drug makers. Novartis doesn't get much credit for Alcon, which it bought in 2011 in a deal that valued Alcon at about $55 billion. Bernstein drug analyst Tim Anderson writes that Novartis "has one of the best revenue and EPS-growth profiles through 2016." He carries an Outperform rating and a $71 price target.

The shares look inexpensive, given the dividend yield of 4.4% and a 2013 P/E ratio below eight.
Headquartered in The Hague, Royal Dutch has bet big on huge liquefied-natural-gas projects in Australia and elsewhere; it now gets about half of its energy output from gas. That exposure worries investors for two reasons: First, the cost of massive LNG projects is rising, running into tens of billions of dollars; and second, the current link of LNG prices to oil could weaken. However, prices for internationally traded gas -- which mostly goes to the Asian market -- are much higher than those in the U.S.
The LNG concerns seem overdone, and Royal Dutch has the wherewithal to complete existing projects, even if oil prices fall moderately. Royal Dutch looks like a low-risk way to play the energy market.
VIACOM is an outlier in the hot media sector.

(NWSA, the publisher of Barron's) all have gained about 30%. Viacom fetches 11 times projected 2013 profit, a sharp discount to its peers' average 13.
The shares have been hurt by persistent rating declines at the cable networks, mainly Nickelodeon. The bull case is that Viacom is steadily going private through one of the media industry's most aggressive share-buyback programs. That could lift the stock in 2013. Viacom repurchased more than 10% of its stock in its fiscal year ended in September, and a comparable buyback is expected in fiscal 2013.
Hits and Misses
Our list of stock picks for 2012 is nicely outpacing the S&P. Our home runs: Comcast and Seagate. Two strikeouts: Vodafone and Royal Dutch, a stock we think will bounce back strongly in 2013.
Viacom could fetch a sizable premium in a takeover, thanks to its valuable cable assets. The company is controlled by Sumner Redstone, 90. While Redstone plans to pass on his stake to his grandchildren, unexpected things can happen after the death of a controlling shareholder. Analysts at Gabelli have put Viacom's private-market value at $86 a share in 2014.
WESTERN DIGITAL and rival disk-drive maker Seagate have languished amid worries about the future of the PC market. The two major players trade at single-digit price/earnings ratios. Our preference now is for Western Digital, wdc 0.3432297923459756% Western Digital Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD58.47 0.2 0.3432297923459756% /Date(1475269200438-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4298540 AFTER HOURS USD57.86 -0.61 -1.043270053018642% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 98269 P/E Ratio 46.404761904761905 Market Cap 16661611048.23 Dividend Yield 3.4205575508807935% Rev. per Employee 178298 More quote details and news » which has badly trailed Seagate this year. At $37, the shares trade for less than five times projected profits of $7.65 a share.
The disk-drive market remains substantial, with annual sales of more than 500 million storage devices. While PC sales aren't growing, demand for storage is, and other forms of memory are too costly for storing massive amounts of data. And since Seagate and Western Digital control more than 80% of the market, pricing pressures are unlikely. Western Digital has a strong balance sheet, with $1.4 billion, or $5 per share, in net cash. Given that and its earnings power, a leveraged buyout of the company is possible.
The company has pledged to earmark half of its free cash flow for stock buybacks and dividends, and there's room to boost the payout, which at 2.7% is just half of Seagate's. Needham analyst Richard Kugele has a Strong Buy rating on Western Digital and a $46 price target.

Tuck: The NFL Rule That Needs To Be Fixed
The Calvin Johnson rule as it has come to be known, needs to be tossed out the window. ?Everyone remembers the play from?a couple seasons?ago against Chicago.
Completing the catch all the way to the ground is fine, but should only apply if the receiver hasn't already established two feet down in the field of play while demonstrating possession. ?Well, it happened again to Megatron this week.
He clearly caught the ball, had two feet down, and lunged for the goal-line extending the ball and when the ball moved and touched the turf, the officials ruled after replay that it was incomplete. ?It's a terrible rule, made all the worse that it took replay to overturn it both times. ?On top of that, Victor Cruz made a similar play on Sunday night against the Cowboys, and it was reviewed, and for some reason, not overturned.
The league needs to sit down again and re-think this. ?Fans and players alike don't like the rule and think the enforcement of it is wrong. ?Watching replay sometimes makes it easier to tell if a player has possession and sometimes it makes it look like the ball is moving in the hands even though the player has control of it. ?Replay is wiping out good catches for no reason and it needs to stop.
