AP: Conrad Burns concedes Senate race in Mont. to Democrat John Tester
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
I thought this was over yesterday?
WIMPY GOP wimps out again!
there were still 21K military votes + ACORN fraud to reconcile but apparently GOP is waving the white flag.
No he didn't concede until now.
Probably had to wait until he sobered up.
why are we conceding?
Good. We can now move on officially and worry about picking up a seat or two in 2008 and hold on to all of ours.
The GOP acts as though they can't wait to start wearing the "Second Place" loser's crown. Forcing Burns and Allen (Say Goodnight Gracie!) to concede before all the votes are counted is moronic.
I wonder what percent of the military votes were for Burns.
so Republicans will not be attacked by the media no doubt.
and another one bites the dust
Maybe so we retain our dignity and class unlike a certain ex-VP who doesn't have any class!
No surprise. Sad, but there it is. At least no Sore/Loserman behaviour from the GOPs.
Time to get ready for 2008 and take it all back. If played correctly by the Republicans and with a failed Pelosi / Reid(?) Congress two years of Dim rule may be enough for the voters.
Firefighters everywhere rejoice. He was GOP, but he was a twerp. Good riddance (even though it still sucks that his loss gave the Rats the Senate).
it's possible to to do both
LOL--yeah, that always works.
I agree. Now we can move on to 2008. And we can watch the Dems screw up for 2 years and see it backlash on them in 2008.
If they had won one of them they would just have "shared" power anyway. Let the Dems take all the blame now for what doesn't get done.
this completes the spankin'
The story of this election is the case of the bi-polar pill. Extreme liberals on one end,conservative republicans on the other,surrounded by the squishy middle. The Drive by media overcame the ability for the squishy middle to coagulate .
The cool part is every man and woman is about to REALLY learn what a socialist and a marxist means.
Allen is probably taking the Thune route. Go with class, and he can have the Warner seat in 2008. Otherwise, he's done in national politics forever.
This is Burns announcement
Allen will announce at 3:00 his concession. Burns I believe is doing it now.
The Senate was designed to be the Congress' sea anchor. It's the Dems' turn to learn this lesson.
HELENA, Mont. - U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns (news, bio, voting record) conceded defeat to Jon Tester on Thursday, acknowledging that a tight election had gone to the Democrats' favor, Burns' campaign told The Associated Press.
Burns, a three-term senator whose campaign was troubled by verbal gaffes and voter discontent, congratulated Tester, a farmer and state legislator.
"I stand ready to help as Montana transitions to a new United States Senator," Burns said in a statement provided to the AP. "We fought the good fight and we came up just a bit short. We've had a good 18 years and I am proud of my record."
In a statement, Burns says his campaign "fought the good fight and we came up just a bit short."
"there were still 21K military votes + ACORN fraud to reconcile"
I guess military votes don't count to some people anymore. What a loser.
Would the last one out please turn off the lights?
The margin is likely not within the parameters for a state funded recount. We're not Gore/Lieberman.
What about the military ballots?
I guess they didn't help Burns.
Wow, were there really still 21K military votes to be counted?? Even at 55% of those votes (which is probably well on the low side) Burns could have picked up at least 2,000 or so votes there. If he's conceding with 21K uncounted military votes that is really nuts.
Can't we actually wait three days to find out?
Time to build up the threat of armed American militias again. Those were the good ole days.
Not a good day, though not unexpected. Burns has announced he will concede and Allen is still waiting for the vote canvas totals to be announced sometime this afternoon in Virginia, unless there is a serious narrowing, he will concede.
Typical. That's why the phoney conservative party lost. This is a defeat of the party that wanted so bad to be loved and embraced by leftists that it compromised the values of its grass roots supporters and tried to look as much as possible like the opposition. But the voters said, "Hey, if we want Democrats, we'll vote for them!" And they did.
Real sucky day and week so far. But we have to keep our chins up and go on. Looking forward to 2008 now. Now we can sit back and watch the Dems screw up!
Burns concedes U.S. Senate race, ends 18-years of service
By MATT GOURAS Associated Press Writer
HELENA, Mont. (AP) U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns conceded defeat to Jon Tester Thursday morning, acknowledging that a tight election had gone to the Democrat's favor, Burns' campaign told The Associated Press.
Burns, the three-term folksy backslapper undone by some verbal gaffes and voter discontent with Iraq, corruption and President Bush, congratulated Tester.
``I stand ready to help as Montana transitions to a new United States Senator,'' Burns said in a statement provided to the AP. ``We fought the good fight and we came up just a bit short. We've had a good 18 years and I am proud of my record.''
Burns did not plan any public appearances on Thursday, his campaign said, instead conceding in a release that thanked supporters.
``For 18 years, Montanans trusted me to hear their concerns, help solve their problems, and made being a United States senator from Montana the best job anybody could have,'' Burns said. ``I will forever be grateful to this state for that honor and proud of my accomplishments.''
Burns, 71, did not give any indication of what he planned to do now, other than saying ``I hope there is still a good-sized buck out there, because I am going hunting.''
Burns should have conceded in the spring and montana would be sending a republican to washington.
The brilliant karl rove must have been busy with the plame case.
Rehberg waited until the filing deadline to announce for the house. He was waiting for burns to step aside.
Couldn't Karl have showed him polling with his negatives through the roof and tester beating him in head to head matchups.
They could have offered burns agriculture secretary and have kept johanns in nebraska.
Get ready for 'Viva Amnesty,' Minimum wage increase, North American Union Superhighway etc. it's all on the table now!
I'm certain this has been looked at upside down and inside out by people with access to more data than we have. The Republicans did a lot of stupid things to blow this election, but I doubt they want to kneecap themselves for '08 by dragging this out.
It's kind of hard to wimp out by conceding a race you lost.
It is very unlikely the few remaining votes will go to him.
Therefore, it is time to concede. If for some odd reason he wins, then he can take it back. Concession is just words. If you win after you concede, you still win.
Refusing to concede a race you obviously lost is pathetic.
There were not 21k military ballots waiting to be counted.
Well, it's over
I'm justr arguing waiting 2-3 days until the military ballots are certified, that is not asking a lot!
I would like to see the breakdown of the military ballots in both the MT and VA Senate Race.
So would I, plus the thousands of provisionals as well.
I dont think that is a good strategy.
It is what the dems did. They wanted failure for them
to win. Only there was no failure on the economy and
the war as fough PC. WE should have gone in cleaned house and left.
Repubs are finished. They now have a creditable media(24/7 We were right, bush lied) and two years of hearings.

FROM DISH: Dish drops FireWire from the 921!
Posted 14 April 2004 - 04:14 PM
I sure as heck hope Dish has a nice price drop on the product to reflect the crippled nature of their "flagship" product!
If there is not a sizable price reduction, I will be seriously considering cancelling my order.
Posted 14 April 2004 - 04:26 PM
I sure as heck hope Dish has a nice price drop on the product to reflect the crippled nature of their "flagship" product!
If it is true, then I really feel for all of those people out there that bought the 921 and a DVHS deck! Maybe they will come out with the blue ray DVD burner for the expansion bay. That would be cool
Posted 14 April 2004 - 04:34 PM

You just made me crack a smile over this lunacy! I'm thinking of following in the footstep of others, who will no doubt be cancelling their 921 order.
I'll hang on to my 6000 and the hope that there will be something better coming "round the bend" (before I go "round the bend").
Posted 14 April 2004 - 04:40 PM
We can always wait for the next thing to come around. I waited for the 921, and if they come out with a better one, I will get that one too, and sell the 921. They don't seem to be loosing any value on EBay!
In the end, I'm enjoying the 921 in my livingroom, and I'm sure it won't be the last product I enjoy. A blue ray DVD burner for HD content really would be cool, even if improbable, don't you think???
Posted 14 April 2004 - 04:49 PM
They don't seem to be loosing any value on EBay!
and yes a BlueRay burner would be very cool... but then so would the active IEEE 1394 ports that were promised (and not listed as "for future use") by Dish Network.
Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying my Dish products and I hope you continue to enjoy your 921 (I hope Dish continues to work through the existing bugs). I am just very, very disapointed and hope that if Dish chooses to lower the price due to this, that you are in some way compensated. I hope that Dish comes through with a lower price and I can receive the 921 that I've been waiting on for so long, but I won't be paying $999 for something that doesn't function as advertised.

what a pile of ****!
Posted 14 April 2004 - 07:41 PM
This is triple confirmed.
I'm returning my 921 as soon as I can get a hold of them and leaving DISH as soon as I can get my HD cable installed.
Posted 14 April 2004 - 08:13 PM
I'm going to leave this thread here for a few days, and then move it to the Dish DVR forum because it's not a software problem, the developers can't do a thing about it, and it's an unfixable hardware problem without a complete redesign.
Posted 14 April 2004 - 08:59 PM
As I replied to Scott's board.
Dishwire is dead. It's not possible to fix in the current generation of 921s.

Definitely a bummer. I have never been sold on PVR/DVR as such, but thought it might be a good way to screen programs before putting them to tape.
I have a old panasonic that I still use to place over the air programs to tape. Put its getting a bit erratic. I had a 5000 with hd/adapter but its now useless.
I was hoping the 921 would fit in replacing all of this but now NO Dish equipment is available that will fill my needs.
Posted 14 April 2004 - 09:08 PM
So, it's time to consider what we should have the lawyers ask for:
Dishwire is dead. It's not possible to fix in the current generation of 921s.
- Full Refund
- Rebate for lost functionality
- Replacement of functionality (e.g. USB 2.0 video output - maybe not possible)
- Upgrade to 922 (or whatever will have IEEE 1394) - with transfer of shows on hard disk, or unlimited time to play off of the old one.
In addition, I think Dish/EchoStar should be given a permanent injunction to prevent any future 'vaporware'. In other words, you don't announce it until it actually works. Period.
DishDVR 921, B: 120B, F: F051, V: L211HECD-N@04-Dec-07, L212@05-Mar-01, L213@Apr-01, L215@Jun-29, L216@Jul-23, L218@Jul-28, L219@Aug-11, L270@Sep-14, L272@Oct-28, L273@Dec-08, L274@Mar-08, L275@Mar-23, L276HECD-N@06-Mar-31.
DP-Twin=110/119, DP Single=148, into a DP34, DP Dual=61.5, into DP21s to add 61.5
Posted 14 April 2004 - 09:21 PM
Anyway, it is too bad that it turned out this way. I do have shows I would like to archive, like "Strange Brew" in HD. The DVHS tape seems a bit clumbsy, but it would have been better than nothing. There are 4 free PCI slots in it aren't there? Is there anything stopping them from adding a firewire card to it?
Posted 14 April 2004 - 09:24 PM
If it's a problem with the 1394 chipset they should consider making a functional dishwire card that uses one of the 921's expansions slots.
Posted 14 April 2004 - 09:54 PM
I'll post whatever response I happen to receive.
Posted 14 April 2004 - 09:57 PM
Dishwire is dead. It's not possible to fix in the current generation of 921s.
I don't usually complain but that really sucks dude, That is a complete step backwards, that was one of the things that really put the 921 ahead of the rest. A complete machine second to none and for people to know that something is never going to work and not say anything sucks too. A total deception. If it is a hardware problem it should be taken care of and machine should be swapped out for one that is as it's is supposed to be and works. That is what a good company does. It is not our fault that is a design error, a lot of people bought the machine and the basis that it was designed as advertised. That really is a bunch of mombo jumbo. Tt is going to be hard to trust a company and people that operate like that too.
I called Dish tonight and talked to a knowledgeable lady who is totally UN aware of the this new info and doubts that is true but I have to assume that Mark and the others here have the upper hand and know the inside scoop.
Don't get me wrong The 921 is a good machine and has some great quality but if this new information is true this 921 not what I expected or hope for.
I will keep looking for something that delivers as advertised.
Posted 14 April 2004 - 10:07 PM
Posted 14 April 2004 - 10:09 PM
I was still holding out some hope that it might be possible in the future with a retrofit product of some kind to give the 921 the firewire capabilities. But, after the events of today, I seriously doubt that will ever happen.
I also seriously doubt that the 922 will offer firewire capability as well. I have no information about that, but I just don't see it happening.

Posted 14 April 2004 - 10:16 PM
Good example is my Sony HDTV - I got it the year before DVI became the norm. At one point Sony was saying that they would develop and release a module to add DVI to my set, like Mitsubushi was doing with theirs with the Promise module. Sony never came through with that. Mits did.

I wonder if D* or Voom will be looking to pick up some disgruntled E* customers.
Heck, DISH is on a roll now with defecting customers. I left after the Viacom thing last month. That, with the Turner channels dropping threat, and now the 921 no firewire issue really says a lot about DISH as a company.
Guess what, their CSR's aren't even better. I started a thread on the other board about this in the General DISH forum. They can do whatever they want and they aren't in violation of the contract, but if we do something we are. I'm being pushed to pay a $240 cancellation fee because I felt the issue was with them dropping channels without a proper announcement they were in violation of the contract. Oh no, I get yelled at by a CSR on that point. I am so glad I switched to Directv.

breaking news
Opposition adviser quits after gaffe
- From: AAP
- August 13, 2012
THE departure of another senior staffer from the opposition leader's office is further evidence of turmoil in the South Australian Liberals, Premier Jay Weatherill says.
Nic Nolan, senior media adviser to Opposition Leader Isobel Redmond, resigned on Monday, adding to a string of departures over the past year, including former chief of staff Andrew Coombe in May.
The leader's office confirmed Mr Nolan had left but declined to reveal a reason or offer further comment.
His exit follows a gaffe last week when Liberal frontbench MP David Pisoni made an allegedly sexist comment about Education Minister Grace Portolesi.
Mr Pisoni apologised to the minister for the remark, which was included in a draft media release criticising the government's education policies.
"If schools received a dollar every time Education Minister Grace Portolesi wore her black leather skirt it would raise thousands," said the release, which was sent to the Nine Network in Adelaide.
At the time Mr Nolan said heads would roll over the incident, but there were reports on Monday that his decision to quit was unrelated.
While Ms Portolesi brushed off Mr Pisoni's slur, Mr Weatherill said there was a pattern of behaviour emerging from the SA Liberals.
He said Mr Nolan's departure was more evidence of the internal divisions within the opposition.
"Obviously they're in turmoil and there are leadership tensions within the Liberal Party," the premier said on Monday.
"It must be an extraordinarily difficult job to perform while you're being consistently undermined."
After last week's gaffe, Ms Redmond issued a one-line statement saying she had dealt with the matter internally and would make no further comment.
She went on leave over the weekend but will return this week ahead of the party's state conference on Saturday.
How she handles the latest incident and staffing issues in her office could ultimately determine the future of her position with some in the party critical of her performance since narrowly losing the 2010 state election.
If she does resign or put her leadership to a vote, the only likely challenger is former leader Martin Hamilton-Smith who has won praise for his attack on the government since becoming the opposition's health spokesman.
Mr Weatherill would not be drawn on who he would rather face at the next election in 2014.
"It's just not a matter of interest to me," he said.
"Whoever they get themselves organised to put up, we'll meet at that time."

I love Mountain Buggy but the wheels keep popping
Escrito por: Jham
I have had the stroller for 2 years and have had to replace the wheel twice now. I love this stroller and ,the customer service is great but unfortunately, I have had to order 2 wheels already. This is apart from the inner tube, which I also replaced once on top of that. It is unfortunate since the stroller and company is good.
Product's fine. Delivery info terrible

Ordered a wheel knowing it was on back order hoping to get more info once I placed the order. I emailed customer service directly and tried to cakl but no such luck. Dismissive and unhelpful
Inner tube busts in a couple weeks
Escrito por: peons
I really love my Mountain Buggy Swift stroller. It has served us very well over 5 years and over many miles of walking in often severe weather conditions (we live in a part of Canada that can have fairly harsh, long winters). After 4 years of nearly daily use with our first child, all we had to replace was one of the rear wheels when our second child arrived. The tire went flat within a couple weeks and we had to replace the inner tube. Several months later, the other back wheel was looking worn out so we got another replacement. Again, the tire went flat in a couple weeks! What's up with that Mountain Buggy?!! Good thing the inner tubes we bought came in a 2-pack.
Very helpful shipping team.

Just pressurize it with air as described, attatch to stroller -works fine, its a wheel :-) Most important: Great customer service and help from MB in the US. Our original wheel broke/exploded on our roundtrip in FL US and was shipped as wished on time to our next hotel ;-) . You can argue about pricing - yes quiet high - but nice to get replacement parts shipped well. - Wished MountainBuggy's sales partners (in Orlando) would have same attitude of service! They were not a help at all, so we had to buy a replacement stroller for the time the part arrived.

I ordered our tire, because ours had blown on our Mountain Buggy Swift. It was easy to install and arrived quickly. With the exchange rate and shipping it was $63.00. I wish I had been able to order single tires without the tube and whole wheel.

I replaced the rear wheels on my MB swift 18 months ago. Unfortunately one of the tyres started bulging out and wobbling, it wasn't the inner tube so I just bought a whole new wheel again. Service was great, arrived very quickly and extremely easy to install. But I do think it is quite pricy, especially considering the new tyre is flat already. I am wondering if it something to do with the buggy board I sometimes use with the pram. Anyway to summarise - good service but I wouldn't give 5 stars based on my doubts about their longevity vs the price!
very good!

I brought my swift 3 1/2 years ago. I have loved it but thought by paying $500 plus for it it would last. Last year I replaced both inner tubes and last month the inner tube went flat, i had it patched at a bike shop, a week later had the tube replaced then replaced the whole wheel! I hope I don't have to pay anymore money on it!!
So great I have bought 3 in the past year

On a $500 stroller you wouldn't think you'd have to spend another $150 for replacement wheels in the first 20 months, but here I am about to buy a 3rd one. They deflate easy and poor nozzle placement means you're guaranteed to have all kinds of trouble re-inflating them. Tread separation and shredding occurs as soon as the tire is less than 100% inflated, which is always. I hate that I bought this stroller thinking I was getting a quality product. Our $100 umbrella stroller has given us waay better value. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Running again I'm happy

Add another national championship for Alabama's Quanesha Burks.
The junior claimed the NCAA indoor long jump title Friday night at the Birmingham CrossPlex. Her final jump of 22-3 ¾ broke her own school record to rank sixth in NCAA history. Her win was the first for an Alabama women's track athlete at the indoor meet since 1989.
Burks, a Hartselle product, won the 2015 NCAA outdoor long jump championship.
"My runway, when I was running, was a little inconsistent," Burks said. "So on the last one my (jumps coach Miguel Pate) said we need to put it all together because I wasn't pushing off the back and then I wasn't running through the board. He said I need to get a complete jump on the last one. So, that was my focus and I felt really good on the last jump."
Burks also won the SEC indoor title in the long jump, setting three school records along the way. A year ago, she was sixth at the SEC indoor meet competing in the long jump with a mark of 20-5.

Baie de L'Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area
Public Consultation
Related Documents
The Baie de l'Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area (NWA) encompasses a broad expanse of marshland lying on the south shore of the Upper Estuary of the St. Lawrence River 30 kilometres (km) northeast of Rivière-du-Loup. With an area of 406 hectares (ha), it covers a riparian strip running some 20 km along the St. Lawrence. Established in 1980 by Environment and Climate Change Canada, its purpose is to protect the largest Spartina marsh in southern Quebec, the last great vestige of this habitat vital to the survival of the American Black Duck, which has led to its being designated a Wetland of International Significance under the Ramsar Convention.
The wildlife area consists of intertidal marshes made up of Spartina associations, swamps, farmland, peat bogs and forest patches dominated by Black Spruce. The diversity of its habitats, from the estuarine waters of the intertidal marsh to the forests, contributes to the year-round presence of a large number of animal species. The intertidal marshes with their scattered brackish ponds and the broad swathes of Spartina -dominated herbaceous vegetation provide support for nesting black ducks. More than 130 species of birds are found in this territory, including species at risk such as the Peregrine Falcon.
American Black Duck.
An estimated 35 000 migratory birds pass through the wildlife area every spring and some 10 000 every fall, among them the Greater Snow Goose, the Canada Goose, the American Black Duck, the Green-winged Teal, the Northern Pintail, the Common Eider, and the Scoter Duck. The wildlife area is considered one of the largest breeding grounds for the American Black Duck in Quebec, and more than 60 other bird species nest within its boundaries. The most common nesting species include the Red-winged Blackbird, the Song Sparrow and the Common yellowthroat. The area is also important to Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow, a species that nests very locally in Quebec. Mammals found within the wildlife area include the Snowshoe Hare, American Porcupine, Red Squirrel, Groundhog, Red Fox, muskrat and American Mink.
The wildlife area is exposed to a number of threats and management challenges, such as neighbouring land development, land drainage, the presence of invasive alien species, poaching, and oil spills.
More information on Baie de l'Isle-Verte NWA is provided in the summary table below.
Management Plan (proposed) (PDF; 9.06 MB) (HTML) Comments on the management plan can be directed to Environment and Climate Change Canada via email, by phone or in writing. Contact information is available at the end of the webpage. Consultation Period: October 5, 2016 to December 5, 2016
Baie de l'Isle-Verte NWA, landscape
NWAs are protected and managed according to the Wildlife Area Regulations under the Canada Wildlife Act. The primary purpose of NWAs is the protection and conservation of wildlife and their habitat. For this purpose, and according to the legislation, Environment and Climate Change Canada can prohibit all activities in a NWA that could interfere with the conservation of wildlife. Consequently, most NWAs are not accessible to the public and all activities are prohibited. Nonetheless, Environment and Climate Change Canada has the ability to authorize some activities, whether through public notice or the issuance of permits, as long as these are consistent with the management plan goals for the NWA. For more information, consult the NWAs Management and Activities section.
Access to the Baie de l'Isle-Verte NWA is restricted to designated areas and at certain times of the year. Public notices listing the authorized activities within the wildlife area are posted at access points and include: hiking, nature observation and photography. Hunting for migratory birds is permitted in the fall within the wildlife area with an Environment and Climate Change Canada permit with the exception of the restored section of the Rivière-des-Vases and Le Roîtelet trail.
Permits may be issued for research activities in keeping with the priorities set out in the management plan for the wildlife area. Permits may also be issued for other conservation activities such as surveys, or the enhancement or restoration of habitat.
Priority will be given to collaborative activities with local agencies and organizations to promote the protection and the conservation of wildlife species and their habitat in the NWA. For example, initiatives could be launched or continued with the following entities: universities or research centers to address gaps in scientific knowledge; the province to implement recovery measures for species at risk (particularly those falling under provincial jurisdiction); or non-governmental organizations or municipal authorities to build public awareness of the wildlife area's objectives.
More information on access and permitting for Baie de l'Isle-Verte NWA can be obtained by contacting the Environment and Climate Change Canada regional office.

This area also includes a Migratory Bird Sanctuary (MBS), where it is specifically prohibited to hunt, take, injure, destroy or disturb migratory birds, their nests or their eggs.
To protect the area, the Department is informing NWA visitors of their obligation to follow certain rules, as dictated by the Canada Wildlife Act, the 1994 Migratory Birds Convention Act, and corresponding regulations. Anyone who neglects to follow these rules or obey the laws in effect may be subject to fines and prosecution.
Hiking, nature viewing, photography, using the picnic area, and accessing roads and official parking lots by motor vehicle are authorized in designated areas.
Without a permit issued by the Minister, it is strictly prohibited for anyone in the area to:
- move about (on foot, on any motor vehicle, on horse, etc.) except in designated areas;
- hunt, particularly in the Rivière-des-Vases and Le Roîtelet development area as well as on the farmland along Rue du Quai road, unless you are hunting migratory birds, in which case you must be in compliance with the authorized periods, conditions, locations and hunting instruments
- fish;
- destroy or remove a plant;
- allow any domestic animal to run at large;
- swim, picnic (except in designated areas), camp or carry on any other recreational activity or light a fire;

BRATTLEBORO Police are investigating the death of Dr. Kathryn Eppel of Brattleboro.
Eppel, 60, a psychiatrist, was discovered at her East Orchard Street home Wednesday afternoon, police said.
According to a release from the Brattleboro police, the Vermont State Police crime scene search team was notified and assisted in processing the scene. Eppels body was transported to the Vermont medical examiners Office in Burlington for an autopsy.
Windham County States Attorney Tracy Shriver said that it was unclear what the circumstances were surrounding Eppels death, which she said was unattended. Emergency personnel were called to Eppels home at 2:45 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said there was no threat to the general public, but that case was under active investigation.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Drunk driver crashes

With Wells Fargo (WFC), J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) and Citigroup (C) all scheduled to unveil financial results on Friday, Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor provided a litany of so-called one-liners detailing what matters most for these and 12 other Wall Street firms and big regionals banks
It's been a rough year for hedge funds. While the S&P 500 climbs to new record highs, most funds continue to struggle in 2016, with returns averaging just 3% and lagging the S&P 500 for the eighth year in a row.
But for investors looking to "follow the smart money" based on 13-F filings hedge funds appear to have some stock picks worth looking at. According to Goldman Sachs (GS), the most popular hedge fund long positions – a basket comprised of the 50 stocks that appear most often among the top 10 holdings of fundamentally-driven hedge fund portfolios — have outperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 500 basis points since June. That reverses an 11-month stretch of under performance. The basket includes Amazon.com (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), PayPal (PYPL), Allergan (AGN), Visa (V) and Charter Communications (CHTR).
Gold prices rose today, with spot prices in London rising off a five-and-a-half-year low.
Yet while the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) both rose today, climbing 1.1% and 4% respectively, both ETFs remain weak. In fact, GLD is among several funds linked to precious and base metals, oil and other commodities that hit 52-week lows in recent months, a list that includes the SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME), the ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (PPLT), the DJ-UBS Copper Total Return Sub-Index ETN (JJC) and the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG).
And according to Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Hinds and his team, now is not the time to jump into commodities. Read More »:
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) shaved its holdings in Goldman Sachs (GS) and Wal-Mart (WMT) during the third quarter, freeing up cash for the purchase of Precision Castparts (PCP).

Global oil prices posted their largest monthly gain in almost six years in April and are up more than 40% since their lows earlier this year.
But is that rally sustainable? Well, Goldman Sachs has joined the list of forecasters predicting a possible double dip in oil prices. In a recent report, analysts estimate the global oil market will be oversupplied by 1.9 million barrels a day in the current quarter, and "therefore view this rally as derailing this rebalancing and setting the stage for sequentially weaker prices."
Goldman analyst Damien Courvalin and his team refer to it as a "self-defeating rally." As he writes:
… while low prices precipitated the market rebalancing, we view the recent rally as premature with crude oil prices expensive relative to current and forecast fundamentals. Calling the timing for prices to sequentially decline is challenging in the short run as we approach a period of seasonally stronger summer demand and China SPR fill. Nonetheless, we expect evidence of this fundamental weakness and expected US producer reaction to gradually materialize in the US weekly rig count, hedging flows, weakening refinery margins and monthly OPEC production and rig count growth.
After slipping Monday, oil prices are rallying today on a weaker dollar with July contracts for Brent, the global oil benchmark, up 76 cents to $66.38 per barrel and light sweet crude for June delivery West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. marker, up 54 cents to $59.27 per barrel.
In the ETF arena, The United States Oil Fund (USO) rose 1% to $20.60 while the iPath S&P GSCI Crude Oil Total Return Index ETN (OIL) climbed 1.37% to $12.54. The PowerShares DB Oil ETF (DBO) rose 0.47%.
Regulators this week granted Goldman Sachs (GS) permission to launch both actively managed and index-based exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for the firm's asset management arm to step into the fast-growing ETF market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission gave the OK for both ETF styles in separate documents on Monday. Goldman filed initial paperwork for the ETFs in September.
A spokesperson for Goldman Sachs Asset Management did not immediately return a request seeking comment.
Goldman has said that its first actively managed fund will focus on dividend-paying stocks. So far, few money managers have launched ETFs that use active stock picking. Many have cited concerns that the daily transparency required by ETFs might erode competitiveness and leave holdings vulnerable to front-running.
Goldman's filings also outline plans for six "ActiveBeta" stock ETFs tied to homemade indexes, as well as for five others that provide index-based exposure to hedge fund styles.
Goldman appears likely to become the latest Wall Street firm to dive into the $2 trillion ETF business. In June 2014, J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) launched its first ETF. Wells Fargo (WFC) received permission in August for its own ETFs.
Who is next? That's the typical question investors ask whenever any industry undergoes a wave of consolidation. So as Todd Shriber at ETFTrends.com notes, investors are wondering which ETF provider will next get grabbed up by a big financial firm in the wake of Janus Capital Group's (JNS) recent $30 million acquisition of VelocityShares.
Shriber warns investors to tamp down their hopes for future high priced deals. He writes:
Investors betting on a slew of high-priced, big name acquisitions within the $1.9 trillion U.S. exchange traded products may want to temper their expectations. The recent "wave," a term to be used loosely, of U.S. ETF consolidation looks like this: Janus Capital (NYSE: JNS) forking over all of $30 million for VelocityShares, a firm best known for its lineup of volatility exchange traded notes (ETNs). At the time the deal was announced earlier this month, VelocityShares had $2.12 billion in assets under management. The next closest thing to consolidation in the U.S. ETF industry is the RUMOR that Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), the largest U.S. investment bank, is reportedly in talks to acquire exchange traded funds issuer IndexIQ…Those deals are not going to remind anyone of Exxon buying Mobil.
Reuters broke the news of the rumored talks between Goldman (GS) and IndexIQ last week. No such deal has been announced. Meanwhile, J.P. Morgan (JPM) recently announced a partnership with ETF provider Global X.
Mutual fund firms such as T. Rowe Price (TROW) and Capital Research & Management are among a number of fund companies that do not yet have ETFs but have sought SEC approval for so-called non-transparent actively-managed ETFs. Those plans suffered a setback Wednesday when the SEC rejected applications for non-transparent actively managed ETFs by Precidian ETFs Trust and Blackrock's (BLK) Spruce ETF Trust.
Regarding speculation that WisdomTree (WETF) is a takeover target, Shriber notes that the firm has been more of a buyer than a seller with it purchase earlier this year of Boost.
Granted, with its price tag up 1% heading into Friday's closing bell, the SPDR Select Sector Financial ETF (XLF) is far from Friday's big gainer among exchange-traded funds. But with more than 41.4 million shares changing hands, it is one of Friday's most actively traded ETFs.
In fact, XLF has been posting eyebrow-popping daily trading volumes – normally exceeding the average daily trading volume of 36.9 million shares — since the start of October.
Financial stocks have been posting some strong earnings this week. Today, Morgan Stanley (MS) beat estimates, sending the investment bank climbing 2.2% to $33.26, and spurring my colleague Ben Levisohn to declare "Wall Street is back baby."
Why so optimistic? Big banks have largely posted better-than-excepted trading revenue for the third quarter. Look at Goldman Sachs (GS), which reported yesterday and also reported a surge in trading revenue.
MKM Partners analyst David Trone wrote:
We view this as a great quarter, which demonstrates good progress on both production and efficiency. We continue to like MS and its peers, and believe the recent pullback represents an attractive buying opportunity. We expect a good 4Q14 follow-through, and believe CCAR capital returns will be increased in the next couple of cycles as excess capital builds.
Is another big asset manager about to buy their way into the $1.9 trillion U.S. ETF market?
Reuters reports that Goldman Sachs (GS) is in talks to buy Rye Brook, NY-based ETF shop IndexIQ.
The story published late yesterday does not reveal a price tag for IndexIQ, which has $1.2 billion in assets under management. But citing sources familiar with the situation, the newswire reports that the deal will allow Goldman to introduce passively and actively managed funds within months.
On Monday, rival asset manager Janus Capital Group (JNS) unveiled a deal to buy VelocityShares, opening the door for Janus, noted for its actively-traded mutual funds, to enter the ETF market.
In September, Goldman sought permission from the SEC to introduce a series of actively managed ETFs. However, if Goldman were to buy IndexIQ it would not need regulatory approval because IndexIQ already has it from regulators, according to Reuters.
Also, David Nadig, CIO at ETF.com told Reuters that IndexIQ's alternative ETF suite would provide a good fit with Goldman. IndexIQ was the first to launch an ETF that replicates hedge fund strategies, Nadig said. The $870 million IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF is IndexIQ's biggest and most popular product.
Reuters report:
It appears that Goldman is preparing to be a strong player in the ETF space, Nadig said. In July the firm moved Michael Crinieri from the trading division to the investment division in order to launch a business that will sponsor ETFs and sell them to retail clients through third parties…
"Clearly we are in a bit of a consolidation mode and we are starting to see some of these younger firms that have been around for a short period of time but have had decent success get bought," Nadig said.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder.

*For most games the search stops before reaching a final game state(it is often too timeconsuming to make a full search) and a heuristic is used to evaluate the "value" of the possible states at that depth. (Thus the move found won't necessarily be optimal and its quality will depend on how deep the search goes and the quality of the heuristic)
The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

thanks before, but my idea is to make AI that can randomly do perfect,good, and miss. but if the player have more perfect than the AI then the percentage of AI would do a perfect is up. according to that what algorithm should i use ?
I don't think there is any named algorithm for that. but something like:
1) set the AIs perfect and good chances to some good initial values (0.4 and 0.35 might work, leaving 5% chance to miss initially) (you can adjust these based on how well the player has done previously or based on how well he is currently doing) (you can for example raise these base values if the player hits several notes perfectly in a row)
2) if the "beat/note/whatever" is within 500 milliseconds of the previous one lower the perfect and good chances by 0.05 (if its identical to the previous one just lower chances by 0.02)
3) if the "beat/note/whatever" is within 200 milliseconds of the previous one, lower the perfect and good chances by an additional 0.05
4) if there hasn't been a note for Y milliseconds restore the AIs values to the initial values (This will make the AI perform better on easy tracks and worse when things happen rapidly, just like a human player)
get a random number between 0 and 1, if it is below the perfect chance the AI hits it perfectly else if its below the perfect+good chances its a good hit else miss.
Tweak the magic numbers and/or add more rules until its plays reasonably well.

Napoleon Bonaparte was a man who felt no greater love than that he had for himself. He adored his own reflection, its image and its glory, and he craved power, and for twenty years he fought the combined Nations of Europe to acquire it. He was the great Man of Destiny. But there was a moment, perhaps a fleeting one, perhaps not, when he loved another more.
Josephine de Beauhernais was born Josephine Rose Tascher de la Pagerie on 23 June, 1763, on the Caribbean Island of Martinique. She was the daughter of a wealthy slave owning family who owned and ran a sugar plantation.
She didn't arrive in metropolitan France until October, 1777. Her family had decided, that aged 14 it was time for her to make a good and profitable marriage. They didn't have long to wait for just two years later she wed the wealthy aristocrat Alexandre de Beauhernais.
Unknown to the young Josephine she had just rescued the family's fortunes for they were not as wealthy as they first appeared but the marriage itself was far from a match made in heaven, when the couple weren't arguing they weren't talking; but that wasn't the point, she supplied the children, he provided the money.
Alexandre de Beauhernais wasn't just a landed aristocrat who enjoyed the fruits of his inheritance he was a speculator on the financial markets, or someone who was perceived to profit from the misery of others. He had been opposed to the Revolution of 1789 and with the advent of the Terror and the Law of Suspects he was soon to be arrested and charged with counter-revolutionary activity and treason. Not long after a warrant was also issued for the arrest of his wife.
After a cursory trial Alexandre was guillotined on 23 July, 1794, and Josephine was only saved from a similar fate by the fall of Maximilien Robespierre a few days later.
Josephine was subsequently released from prison but in a state of destitution. It was time for her to reinvent herself.
She was considered pretty with long brown hair, pale complexion, small hands, pert breasts, and a voluptuous mouth though she rarely smiled because of her bad teeth. She was only of average height but even so she was to be taller than Napoleon. To these physical attributes she now added a graceful elegance and a modulated voice that rarely rose above a whisper.
Josephine, though she may have hit rock bottom financially still retained her status and she was now a woman on the make.
At the same time the fortunes of an obscure artillery officer from Corsica, Napoleon Bonaparte, were being transformed. They were to meet but not before Josephine had embarked upon a series of affairs with some the most prominent politicians in France.
She was first introduced to Napoleon by her lover Paul Barras, one of the five members of The Directory who were ruling France in the wake of the fall of the Revolutionary Government. It has been suggested that Barras tired of her spendthrift ways had deliberately introduced her to Napoleon in the hope of getting rid of her. If so it worked, Napoleon was hopelessly smitten and proposed almost immediately, and within two months they were married.
Love and mutual attraction was not necessarily the prime motivation behind their relationship, at least certainly not on Josephine's part. She was eager to be married to the man who everyone could see would soon be the most powerful in France. Napoleon was also keen to have her political contacts. Even so it appeared that the ambitious Napoleon had at last found someone he could adore and he was to do so, but it was to be a puppy love. He was hopelessly love-struck in her presence and utterly distraught by her absence and he wrote constantly and cloyingly of his love for her:
"I awoke full of you. Your image and last night's intoxicating pleasure has left no rest on my senses; you to whom nature has given spirit, sweetness, and beauty, you, who alone can move and rule my heart."
His love letters and pledges of devotion to her were endless but Josephine rarely wrote back which hurt him deeply and he would frequently beg her to do so; but Josephine was a woman of the world and found his adoration of her silly and even childish. She would often read his letters out to her friends to their great amusement.
Even now she was determined to secure her financial future and whilst he was away campaigning in Egypt she took the first of a string of wealthy lovers. When Napoleon heard of this he was furious and very publicly had affairs of his own in response. Their relationship would never fully recover from this turn of events and from now on power and the pursuit of it would be Napoleon's mistress.
On 2 December, 1804, Napoleon despite the enforced presence of Pope Pius VII decided to crown himself Emperor of France with the words spoken in his native Italian, "Dio mio la dona, gai a qui la tocca" (God has given it to me, beware who shall touch it).
He then, despite their differences and the now fractured state of their relationship personally crowned Josephine his Empress, as he had earlier promised he one day would.
For the next few years at least they shared a harmonious if not entirely happy marriage. Both continued to take lovers though now it was rarely spoken about.
Josephine was six years Napoleon's senior and by 1810, aged 47, she was no longer able to bear children and the Emperor needed an heir. She was acutely aware of her husband's need to secure the dynasty and in January of that year she conceded to his request for a divorce.
Josephine, despite being aware that divorce was inevitable was nonetheless devastated by it for even though she never came to love her 'Little General' there was a genuine affection between them. Also, with her looks fading and no longer able to bear children she could neither play the part of the flirtatious courtesan, or indeed of the fecund bride.
Napoleon was also greatly saddened for despite all their problems she had been the only woman he had ever loved, but Dynastic concerns must take precedence.
On 11 March, 1810, Napoleon married Princess Marie-Louise the daughter of the Hapsburg Emperor of Austria. It was a dynastic triumph for the commoner from Corsica though he was later to say that he had "merely married a womb."
Josephine and Napoleon remained good friends and he continued to pay the debts of his spendthrift ex-wife. He confided in and trusted her more than he ever did Marie-Louise or any of his close colleagues.
On 29 May, 1814, Josephine died of pneumonia. Napoleon was visibly shaken at the news and struggled to hold back the tears.
It was to be ironic that it was Josephine through her daughter Hortense by her marriage to Alexandre de Beauhernais who would be responsible for the revival of Bonapartism when she gave birth to the future Emperor Louis Napoleon III. Napoleon's own son by Marie-Louise was to die when still a child.
During his exile on St Helena, Napoleon was heard to remark:
"I loved my Josephine but I did not respect her."
As he lay dying a few years later the last word he was reported to have said was - Josephine!

BALTIMORE -- Tom Flores, the two-time Super Bowl-winning former coach of the Raiders, howled in protest. "To me," Flores said on the radio broadcast, "that is uncalled for. UN-called for." He was referring to the Baltimore Ravens pulling off a fake field goal, when they were already up by a score of 41-17, and holder Sam Koch taking the direct snap and running to the left side of the line untouched for a seven-yard touchdown run...

As financial markets expand globally in response to economic and technological developments of the twenty-first century, our understanding and expectations of the people involved in these markets also change. Unmasking Financial Psychopaths suggests that an increasing number of financiers labeled qfinancial psychopathsq are not truly psychopathic, but instead are by-products of a rapidly changing personal and professional environment. Advances have been made in identifying psychopaths outside of situations accompanied by physical violence, yet it is still difficult to differentiate psychopaths in cultural settings that have adopted psychopathic behavioral tendencies as the norm. Within the investment sector, a fundamental transformation has occurred: the type of person employed by financial firms and the environment within which finance is conducted have both changed. Society's expectation of financiers adapted to these subtle, behind-the-scenes shifts, resulting the public at large perceiving more individuals in the financial sector as acting in a psychopathic manner. Being able to distinguish the truly psychopathic financier from individuals who conform to behavioral expectations is the first step towards a cultural shift away from accepted psychopathic behaviors in the financial sector.... 147 Alpert, Jonathan 47a48 Analysis of firms fundamental analysis 14 technical analysis 14a15 Antisocial Personality ... 151 Benedict, Ruth 31, 43 Berkshire Hathaway 14, 36 Bitcoin see Currencies, bitcoin Black, Fischer 15 Black-Scholesanbsp;...

It was really only a matter of time. Telltale Games has confirmed that The Walking Dead's Season One and Seasons Two, as well as The Wolf Among Us' Season One, will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year. While no specific release date was revealed, expect them to hit before the holiday rush in mid-November.
While some might at first be a bit bummed out that both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us won't be jumping to the platforms in the middle of their current runs, this is the right thing to do. Remember that the heart of these experiences is that one's choices are carried over episode to episode, so Telltale wants players to stay on their current platform until the full seasons are complete. Then, with the seasons wrapped up, players can safely jump to another platform without (too) much hardship.
Since Telltale is all about these sales-related announcements today, they've also confirmed that both The Walking Dead Season 2 and The Wolf Among Us will be sold via retail on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 too. Telltale says that this decision came as a result of both games', "continuing success as digital downloads."
Only one thing needs to be said on this topic: the more people playing The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, the better!
Pick up The Walking Dead (Season One and Season 2) and The Wolf Among Us on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year, as well as via retail on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
