I'd like to pose a hypothetical question: Would the government be looking as profoundly broken as it is today had Prime Minister Gillard not set an election date back on January 30?
Back when Ms Gillard made the surprise announcement she hoped to catch her political opponents napping.
"I can act to clear away the carry-on that comes with speculation about when the election will be held," the Prime Minister said.
"I can create an environment in which the nation's eyes are more easily focused on the policies, not the petty politics."
How's that working out for you, Prime Minister?
Despite her claims to the contrary, what Ms Gillard has done is make an election campaign 227 days long. Hippopotami gestate quicker.
At the time, political pundits examined and analysed the decision to announce an election date, desperately trying to make sense of it. There were perceived to be little pockets of advantage here and there but these were overwhelmed by a tsunami of drawbacks.
Almost three weeks later it's proving to be not just dumb but eight month's worth of dumb.
I'm not suggesting the polling results would be any different than they are now. Labor would still be in a big hole. The difference is essentially driven by perception. Announcing an election date without seeking the advice of more than a handful of colleagues has conspired to make every government misstep appear catastrophic, every public appearance from Kevin Rudd look like a looming leadership challenge, every dropped ball a sure sign of a government in a death spiral.
The gravest error has been allowing Tony Abbott to move seamlessly from opposition leader to alternate prime minister. If the recent polling is anything to go by, it's a shift he's handled with ease.
Last Tuesday, the House of Representatives put partisan bickering aside to debate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Recognition bill. It was a proud moment in the parliament. Munificence abounded. It was a sign that parliament has its best moments when it is not immersed in the adversarial. Julia Gillard spoke well. Tony Abbott spoke better.
The speeches can be read in full here.
It's true that Mr Abbott was trying to change gears before Ms Gillard announced the date of the election. A kinder, gentler, positive Tony Abbott was being presented to the country, first in western Sydney where the Liberal Party can smell blood and then to all points of the compass. What Ms Gillard's announcement has done is to play in to the hands of the Coalition.
Since then, Tony Abbott has been able to shift gears politically as easily as he does on the bike most mornings. Gillard has essentially set the platform for him to do so. We do not see much of hyper-aggressive Tony Abbott anymore and certainly what aggression he continues to show is never directed at the Prime Minister.
Tony Abbott has learnt that Julia Gillard makes plenty of mistakes when left to her own devices; perhaps more than she might if Big, Bad Tony was still on display.
The second most damaging element of the early election announcement was to create the whispers on a Rudd challenge in the media. Rudd has batted the speculation away. Maybe the denials fall into the "he would say that, wouldn't he?" category. Maybe he is as good as his word. It doesn't much matter. The damaging speculation continues.
There are many voters who continue to believe that Rudd might be Labor's saviour. Certainly, the Opposition has factored in a Rudd return into their own strategies.
The problem with the scenario is that it comes with all manner of political hurdles, some Himalayan in scale.
If the caucus decided to ditch Gillard and get on board with Team Kevin, there is a considerable chance that the Government would be headed to the polls a good deal earlier than September 14. Rudd may not call the election but the crossbenchers might force the Governor-General's hand.
An early election contains not just the chance but the near certainty of an electoral Apocalypse for Labor.
If Labor is able to hang on until a September poll, the executive would lapse into a deep crisis. If the statements made by numerous members of Gillard's front bench preceding the leadership spill in February are anything to go by many of the senior members of the government would be obliged to resign, including Treasurer Wayne Swan, Environment Minister Tony Burke and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy. The list goes on.
That could only be good news for Labor's hopes in the election, you might think, especially in Wayne Swan's case. I'm afraid to say it would only create a sense of deep chaos around the government. Make no mistake, the Coalition has war-gamed a Rudd return and it is not especially troubled by it.
Caucus members understand the particular difficulties in shuffling prime ministers for the second time in three years. There is a deep sense of hopelessness and political paralysis among the group. They cannot move because there are no viable options remaining.
Had Gillard not made this extraordinary tactical blunder, Labor's problems would exist in the academic – left to the fare of commentators and political analysts. The polls would still be low and morale lower still but there would remain the promise of a few more surprises to be sprung.
But Labor's problems are now front and centre in the national consciousness and are being contemplated in specific electoral terms. Each day sees the government's credibility chipped away bit by bit. And there are 207 days to go.

Pittsburgh Mayor's Proclamation Spotlights Nursing School Center
In a proclamation read on Sept. 10 in City Council Chambers, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl recognized Duquesne University nursing faculty members Dr. Leni Resick and Maureen Leonardo for the vital role they and the School of Nursing play in helping the city improve the lives of older adults.
Resick and Leonardo serve as director and manager, respectively, of the School of Nursing's Nurse Managed Wellness Center (NMWC). For 18 years, the NMWC has marshaled faculty, alumni and student volunteers to deliver services that help Pittsburgh seniors remain healthy and live independently. The NMWC works collaboratively with the city and currently operates eight sites in Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
In the proclamation, the Mayor declared Sept. 10 as Citiparks Healthy Active Living Day and the month as National Senior Center Month in the city. Ravenstahl thanked the Duquesne University School of Nursing for its essential role in making the moniker "Most Livable City" as true for older adults as it is for everyone else.
Duquesne University
Founded in 1878, Duquesne is consistently ranked among the nation's top Catholic research universities for its award-winning faculty and tradition of academic excellence. The University is nationally ranked by U.S. News and World Report and the Princeton Review for its rich academic programs in nine schools of study for nearly 10,000 graduate and undergraduate students, and by the Washington Monthly for service and contributing to students' social mobility. Duquesne is a member of the U.S. President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction for its contributions to Pittsburgh and communities around the globe. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Princeton Review's Guide to Green Colleges acknowledge Duquesne's commitment to sustainability.

Afro Trek Safaris
Afro Trek Safaris offers, short duration safaris of one, two or three days (longer if required) to the finest wilderness areas of Botswana and Mokoro Trails through the reed fringed channels and lagoons of the Okavango Delta.
We offer a unique style of safari holiday incorporating flexibility, whilst still obliging your taste for adventure.
Afro Trek Safaris in association with Sedia Riverside Hotel, allows you to go on safari as you please, using Sedia Riverside Hotel to provide the necessary comforts one requires between safaris.
Feel like languishing poolside at the hotel or bird watching down the river, and then go on safari tomorrow.
Enjoy the remote wilderness areas without it becoming an endurance test of overnight camping for days on end.
Transfers between the remote areas and consequently more interesting areas of Botswana can be long and uncomfortable, on rough roads, even for the hardened traveller.
Afro Trek Safaris offer personalised mobile safaris to suit individual requirements.
The safari vehicles we use on our safaris are open sided customised Toyota Landcruisers with individual seats mounted at the rear under a canvas canopy, seat belts are fitted to all seats.
Each vehicle has a fire extinguisher installed and the professional guide always carries a satelite phone.
Afro Trek Safaris mobile camping equipment includes spacious tents with mosquito gauze screening on all windows, doors and roof vent.
The beds are of fixed frame type with a mattress ( 100mm thick ) dressed in pure cotton bed linen, duvets and pillows.
Wash stands with towels and a clothes hanger are provided at each tent.
An occasional table and chairs are provided outside on the tent verandah.
Camps are provided with traditional bush showers and toilet tents even though some campsites utilised do have well appointed ablution facilities.
Safari tables and chairs are provided in the camp and tea and coffee is always available.
Whilst guests enjoy game drives or relaxing periods in the camp, our camp chef with his ground crew will take care of the camp and look after the camp kitchen
All safari meals are freshly prepared with any special dietary requirements catered for.
Should we receive requests fro guests who do not mind joining other like minded adventurers on a safari then we do try and group people together which results in a more economic rate per person for the safari.
However we do try and maintain our limit of seven persons to a safari vehicle in order to ensure our professional guides can give their exclusive attention to the guests and offer a truly exceptional and memorable safari experience.
Afro Trek Safaris are taken by well experienced professional guides with many years of guiding experience in the wilderness areas and reserves of Botswana. The professional guides will host guests on a comfort adventure safari into magnificent game viewing areas and offer a comprehensive insight into the cultures of the peoples combined with an in depth knowledge of the flora and fauna , resulting in a thoroughly rewarding safari experience.
SHOWERS and TOILETS
Most of the National Parks and Game Reserves have basic (cold water) showers and flush toilets, though in the more remote parks there are no facilities whatsoever and toilets are dug in the ground with washing or showering undertaken from bowls or shower buckets.
MOSQUITOES and MALARIA
Malaria is mainly prevalent during the months of the rainy season (October to April )
Most people are pleasantly surprised at how few mosquitoes there are in the region during the dry months of winter. However it is advisable to consider a course of malaria prophylactics if you are going to visit this region.
In these remote wilderness areas, ablution facilities can leave a lot to be desired or even be non existent, hence the convenience of our short duration safaris with the comfort of Sedia Riverside Hotel close at hand to refresh and revitalize in readiness for your next safari.

Exactly WHAT activity WILL prevent hibernation?

Exactly WHAT activity WILL prevent hibernation?
Ok... I'm confused as to why my machine DID go into hibernation, when I was in the middle of running a backup job (to tape).
Win7 Pro x64 is the environment.
I've got hibernation set at 25 minutes. This machine is also used as an HTPC and I don't want it actually running during the day when either (a) I'm not sitting there actually working on it, or (b) it is not doing any TV recording.
Even when all non-OS drives are spun-down (manually, by me using HDDScan, since because of a second unresolved issue I can't figure out why Win7 won't do that for me when their 15 minutes is reached whereas WinXP did do that) my machine still uses about 340 watts of power (about 380 watts are used when the drives are all spun up). I'd just as soon put it in hibernation when not in use, and then wake up automatically when TV recordings are scheduled to be made.
===> hibernation is set ON, after 25 minutes... which I assumed to mean 25 IDLE MINUTES!!!
Well yesterday, I started a normal periodic backup job (to DDS6 tape) using Novastor's NovaBACKUP product, and this particular job runs for about 1 1/2 hours. First time I've run the job when also having hibernation-after-25-minutes enabled.
Imagine my surprise when I came back later to discover the system in hibernation, which apparently had been initiated DURING THE BACKUP JOB!!! The backup job itself had been killed by Win7 (or more accurately, apparently by a fatal I/O error which occurred in the middle of it as hibernation was initiated).
Obviously I did not have any expectation that an ongoing "background job" (not a service or task, but an actual "job") that simply did not involve any mouse or keyboard would allow Win7 to still believe the environment was "eligible for hibernation". This was obviously NOT my intent or understanding, as to what kind of "idle" the system had to be in before sleep/hibernation would even be considered possible.
Sure, I can temporarily disable hibernation when running this backup job or program. But what if I were running a long-running "render" (or VirtualDub "save as AVI..." function) which took many hours? Obviously, these too are examples of programs which (a) use perhaps 100% of the CPU and (b) do a great deal of I/O to hard drive.
How can Win7 conceivably believe the system is "idle and eligible for hibernation" when these kinds of 100% resource consuming background jobs are running???
And yet it does seem that recording TV programs defines an "activity that DOES prevent sleep/hibernation", so at least that kind of program activity is obviously something that CAN successfully inhibit hibernation. (don't know if only WMC does this, or also if BeyondTV would benefit from the same "feature"?)
So... what are the real definitions of the kinds of program activity which CAN inhibit hibernation? I could certainly request NovaStor to make an appropriate change to NovaBACKUP in order to prevent this kind of unintended consequence of starting a backup job but getting clobbered by auto-sleep/hibernate.
Just as there are ways for a program to provide an option to manually inhibit screensaver from kicking in if that's appropriate (e.g. when watching a movie or video), it would also seem that there must be some kind of system service function a program could call that says "inhibit sleep/hibernate" until I say otherwise.

I like cherry tobaccos, I love Latakia. I really wanted this to work. For me it did not. In the beginning it was a nice natural cherry with the Latakia playing second fiddle and making an interesting taste, not great, but interesting. Then about halfway through the Latakia raiders came... The cherry completely disappeared and I was left with a very unpleasant tongue bitey heavy Latakia. It just was not fun anymore, not even pleasant. The smoke had very little smell to it and no sweatiness of aromatic whatsoever. Perhaps I had a bad turn of it, but it will be awhile until I try smoking the rest of my stock.

I don't know who blended this amazing tobacco but whoever did - my hat's off to them.
I first heard about this blend - when Alex suggested I try it - when he quizzed me about what kind of blends I enjoyed.
When he told me the ingredients Cherry Cavendish & Latakia - a light went off in my head - "Eureka!" I thought - this sounds like something I want to try.
Well friends, this is one of my favorite blends from Uhles. It hits the sweet spot every time. First of the all the smokiness - from the Latakia - lends itself to a nice medium English - while the Cherry Cavendish satisfies the hunger for something a little sweet - that one gets from a well made Aromatic.
The tobacco smokes creamy and has some excellent spice. There is complexity, depth, balance and finesse - not usually found in crossover blends.
It's as brilliant a combination as mixing Chocolate with Peanut butter ala Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Highly Recommended. I would add more Stars if I could.

Fusion (Nasdaq: FSNN) announced that it has acquired Herndon, Virginia-based Apptix, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apptix ASA. Apptix provides cloud-based communications, collaboration, virtual desktop, compliance, security and cloud computing solutions to approximately 1,500 business customers throughout the U.S. Total consideration in the transaction was $28.0 million, consisting of $23.0 million in cash and approximately 3.0 million shares of Fusion unregistered common stock priced at $1.68 per share.
The acquisition, which closed on November 14, 2016, was financed with a new $70.0 million senior secured credit facility led by East West Bank, which replaces Fusion's previous $40.0 million senior credit facility. The new credit facility reduces Fusion's weighted average borrowing cost from 8.0% down to 7.5%.
- Significantly expands Fusion's scale and scope, adding approximately $25 million in annual revenue and $8 million in post-synergy Adjusted EBITDA (a 30% contribution margin), for a total pro forma annual revenue run-rate of approximately $145 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million
- Adds a growing, high-quality business customer revenue base, over 90% of which is under multi-year contract and recurring, with an existing gross margin of approximately 60%
- Represents a highly attractive acquisition price, equivalent to 3.5x pro forma Adjusted EBITDA and 1.1x revenue
- Extends Fusion's reach to the desktop and into the customer's IT infrastructure, allowing for greater service control and increased customer loyalty and "stickiness," while expanding the services Fusion can sell
- Accelerates Fusion's growth strategy and advances its leadership position in the rapidly expanding cloud computing market for SMB and Enterprise customers
- Contributes a powerful cloud computing infrastructure with significant available capacity for growth
- Brings engineering and development resources to advance Fusion's cloud computing infrastructure and service offerings, as well as a team of highly capable sales, implementation and support professionals
- Creates a large cross- and up-sell opportunity into Apptix's 1,500 customers and into Fusion's own customer base seeking a broader array of cloud services
- Fusion's new five-year $70 million senior secured credit facility consists of a $65.0 million term loan and a $5.0 million revolver (undrawn at close), at an interest rate of LIBOR (with no floor) + 5.00%
- Retired the Company's previous $25.0 million senior term loan and $15.0 million senior revolver
Fusion also announced today the pricing of a $2.8 million private placement consisting of 2.4 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.15 per share. The offering included additional commitments from Fusion's chairman, its chief executive officer, and other members of its board of directors. Fusion will use the net proceeds from this offering, which is expected to close on November 16, 2016, for working capital and general corporate purposes. Craig-Hallum Capital Group acted as the sole placement agent in the offering.
Matthew Rosen, Fusion's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Fusion's acquisition of Apptix continues our previously announced strategy to build a market leading portfolio of integrated cloud service offerings and to achieve greater scale through disciplined, targeted acquisitions. The addition of Apptix deepens our comprehensive service portfolio with a focus on extending these services to the desktop and IT infrastructure of our customers. I am particularly pleased to further grow our team of seasoned, highly trained cloud technology professionals.
"In addition to its significant revenue and EBITDA contribution, we anticipate that the Apptix acquisition will accelerate Fusion's growth initiatives," Mr. Rosen continued. "We believe that Fusion's award-winning UCaaS and Contact Center solutions, as well as our secure and diverse cloud connectivity and security services, will connect well with Apptix's existing customers, creating substantial cross- and up-selling opportunities into the combined Apptix and Fusion base of more than 13,000 business customers."
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, Apptix reported, on an unaudited basis, revenue of $6.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million.
Johan Lindqvist, Chairman of Apptix, said, "For more than a decade, Apptix's advanced, secure and reliable cloud services have helped businesses of all sizes work more efficiently. It has been our mission to increase our customers' productivity across the enterprise with high quality, high value communications, collaboration and infrastructure services, and we believe that Fusion's single source cloud solutions are a perfect complement to our own.
"We have gotten to know the Fusion team exceedingly well over the past several months, and have been impressed with management, the company's business, its position in the marketplace, and its commitment to providing the highest level of service to its customers. We have great confidence in Fusion's growth strategy and its ability to create significant value. Importantly, the two companies share a common vision and culture which provides a great foundation for the integration of our teams. On behalf of the shareholders of Apptix ASA, we are extremely excited to participate in Fusion's ongoing success as shareholders of this emerging cloud services leader," Mr. Lindqvist concluded.
Michael Bauer, Fusion's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We are extremely pleased to announce our new senior credit facility led by East West Bank. Together with our common share offering, this new facility gives Fusion additional financial strength and flexibility to continue to pursue our growth strategy. This acquisition is a big step forward to achieving our intermediate financial goals of $200 million in revenue, 50% gross margin and 15% Adjusted EBITDA margin."
Conference Call Information
Fusion will hold a conference call today, November 15, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, as well as the Apptix acquisition and financing transactions. To participate in the live conference call, interested parties should dial (844) 883-3892 or (412) 317-9248 at least 10 minutes prior to the start time and ask to be placed in the Fusion call.

The Organization of American States (OAS) will launch, on Tuesday, August 26, the virtual course "Strategies for Open Government in the Americas" for 217 officials from the region, in order to enable them to implement strategies for the consolidation of more participatory, transparent and open government.
The course will last seven weeks, and although it is aimed at public officials, it is open to the general public.
Taught from the Virtual Campus of the Department for Effective Public Management of the Secretariat for Political Affairs of the OAS, the course has the support of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Latin American Centre for Development Administration (CLAD).
The above institutions agreed to promote this initiative after agreeing on the importance of promoting policies of Open Government, and given the need for public institutions of the countries of the region to understand and train their human resources in the area.
The first course includes the participation of 217 officials from all the countries of the Americas, who will work on developing a strategy for Open Government. The course will be held for the second time, with students physically attending classes, on December 1 in Chile.
For more information visit the Virtual Campus of the OAS Department for Effective Public Management.

All I can do is sit and 'sighhhhh' as I view the pictures and read about everyone's harvest. Just amazing what you all are producing. Daniel your blog info should be in a national magazine!
And I have one lonely plum and nectarine on my trees, Daniel. Boo hiss. Oh, but I have zillions of apples, pears, and peaches--and persimmons. Fall red raspberries are blooming. Gonna make wine out of them for the first time. Just received wine yeast (Amazon). Any suggestions?
Fantastic, Daniel!
Beautiful, Daniel!
Daniel, what a great amount of good food you have. Makes my mouth water!
Randy, if you would like some more deer, you can come here and get them. They can eat a 3 year old fruit tree down to nubs overnight! And they are the reason many of my trees are surrounded by a circle of fencing, which makes weeding and maintenance a hassle but does keep the deer out.
Here are some of today's fruits. The summer squashes also continue to produce, and we are getting some sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, and blueberries.
My first apples and peaches from the Battleground place. Both are especially bred for disease resistance without chemicals. The plums were prolific this year. These are "Hollywood", a burgundy plum inside and out. More jam, if I have the ambition.
Spud, at least there's the berries! I didn't get my watermelon plants into the ground in time. I started seeds but ran out of steam.
The last two weeks have been unusually cold, so my watermelon may fail again, but my berries are looking great!
Enjoyed the photos, Daniel (as always). I'll check out your garden blog in a sec.
My electric fence surrounding my sweet corn patch wasn't working properly, I discovered (more raccoons). Two reasons: my iron posts were grounding the charge, and the wires were touching weeds and corn. I finally got brave enough to touch the wire myself to remedy the situation--hopefully! It's just a mild shock, but effective--again, hopefully.
One other update: I've officially caught 9 moles and 7 "piney" squirrels this searson. And I watched a couple of deer eating apples off the ground. No, I didn't try to catch them!
I got help from the weather, Daniel. July has been wet and cool - I enjoy it enormously. It seems to be a new pattern here; spring and autumn warm and rather dry and summer is rainy and cool. Winter is rainy and colder. I remember rainy summers from when I was a child, but there were not as many as now.

Definite keeper! We always had cinnamon rolls for christmas morning, it was tradition, but after my dad was diabetic, there came a point when that just wasnt an option anymore. So I set out to find something everyone would like, was diabetic friendly, but fed us and was super easy to make. When I came upon this recipe, I though, perfect! I made it the day before, had it in the fridge ready to go, and while we opened presents breakfast baked in the oven! It smelled good, it taste good, it was a hit, even for my picky ol'diabetic dad, lol!
OMG, THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I cannot believe this has been here for 2 years without a review. It is so simple to make and has very basic ingredients and comes out so flavorful. We have breakfast for dinner on Thursday's and DH said I can make it every week if I wanted! Or I can make it a New Year's Day breakfast tradition (his b-day)! I will be making this often I am sure of it! Made for My-3-Chefs Nov 2009.
Making this for a family brunch. I like that it can be made up the night before and put in the oven in the morning.

The oil company Total (TOT) has not had a good week. The company was forced to shut down its North Sea Elgin platform following the news that it had not been able to plug a persistent gas leak. The company now must decide to take six months to drill a relief well or to send down engineers to "kill" the leak, which is a solution that is much faster, but much more risky. The stock has lost more than 8% of its market value since this event, but I believe this represents a great opportunity to purchase this high yielding oil major at a discounted price. Key Facts
- Although the market took out its wrath on Total's stock, this is not like the BP Plc. (BP) spill. It is a gas leak, not an oil spill. It is a much smaller release by orders or magnitude than that tragedy, no deaths were incurred and gas condensate is much less harmful to the environment than oil.
- The incident happened in the North Sea. This should ensure there is not an overreaction by authorities to impose huge fines for a minor incident like what Brazil is attempting to do with Chevron (CVX) and Transocean (RIG) for a small spill off the Brazilian coast.
- Total only owns 46% of the project with Eni (E) owning 22%, with other 32% allocated to other entities. It also only represents about 60K BOE/day of Total's worldwide production, a very small impact to its revenues.
- The shutdown probably has a bigger impact to the U.K., as it represents almost 9% of its energy production.
TOTAL S.A. - "TOTAL S.A., together with its subsidiaries, operates as an integrated oil and gas company worldwide. The company operates in three segments: Upstream, Downstream, and Chemicals." (Business Description from Yahoo Finance).
4 additional reasons to pick up Total at under $50 a share:
- The stock yields 6% and is priced around five times operating cash flow.
- The stock is selling near the bottom of its five year valuation range based on P/S, P/CF and P/B.
- The stock is going for less than 7 times forward earnings and just 27% over book value. In comparison, Chevron is selling for 75% over book value and Exxon (XOM) is priced at 166% over book value.
- Before this incident, consensus estimates for FY2012 and FY2013 had gone up around 5% over the past two months. The median price target on Total is $62.50.

The Situation Report
Both Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) reported fairly downbeat results for the personal computer sector. HP reported a 10% year-over-year decline in PC revenue in FQ3. Dell was even worse, clocking in at a 22% year-over-year decline in PC revenues. This has caused a fairly major sell-off in two technology stocks with fairly high PC exposure. I believe that now is the time to cherry pick the best of the companies that were hit and get an excellent deal.
The Companies
When I cherry pick the best, I am looking for the following characteristics:
- Bargain valuation
- Rock solid balance sheet
- Pay Dividends
- Leaders in their respective fields (gaining market share on top of a winning position is also a nice bonus)
- Capital and demonstrated interest in expanding the core businesses
These are symptomatic of a well managed companies that can survive short term headwinds in their core businesses and they'll pay you to wait. Without further ado, here are the two companies worth buying after the sell-off:
1. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)
Intel is probably the least understood and most punished technology company in recent times. Their core business is x86 CPUs, but that doesn't mean "just PCs" (although they have over 80% of the PC CPU business). Windows 8 tablets are coming this year and will be powered by both high end "Ivy Bridge" CPUs as well as Intel's low cost, lower power Atom-branded CPUs.
Let's also not forget that Intel is by far the market share leader in the server space, has the most sophisticated chip manufacturing technology in the world and has been making strategic acquisitions coupled with organic R&D investments in order to bolster their entry into the smartphone space.
But putting all of that aside, Intel's valuation is simply too good to ignore at this point. Taking a look at the following picture says it all:
INTC PE Ratio data by YCharts
While the share price is approaching the top of the "trading range" that many accuse Intel to be "stuck" in, the company's dividend yield is at historic highs at a very enticing 3.6% yield (because the company is committed to consistently raising the dividends), the price-to-earnings ratio is at historic lows, and it has a fortress of a balance sheet with roughly $14B in cash and only $7B in long term debt.
Oh, and one more thing. As if the generous dividend wasn't a good enough return of capital to shareholder (36% payout ratio), the company further brings value to shareholders by significantly reducing its share count over the last 10 years. I have no doubt that the buybacks will continue.
INTC Shares Outstanding data by YCharts
My suggested strategy here is to either buy the stock outright between $24.00 - $25.00 or to sell some puts at the $24 or $25 strike at dates where you can get a good premium for them (but I'm not entirely convinced this strategy will actually get you the shares).
2. Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ:STX)
Seagate is one of those technology companies that went ahead and proved nay-sayers wrong. In 2011, the stock hovered in the $9-10 range until the Thailand flooding wreaked significant havoc on the whole hard disk supply chain. Seagate, unlike its chief rival, Western Digital (NYSE:WDC), didn't have its factories directly hit; its shortage problems were due to the high concentration of the rest of the hard disk supply chain in Thailand. With a shortage in place, hard-drive prices skyrocketed, but Seagate was able to undercut its competitor while still nailing higher gross margins, which led to a staggering market share increase from 29% to 42% post Thai Flood.
STX Gross Profit Margin data by YCharts
With Dell and HP reporting lackluster PC sales results, shares of the hard disk maker dropped over 4%. But this is completely irrational. While PC sales slumped, the vaunted "cloud" that all tablets and smartphones (which have very limited internal storage) rely on for data storage and access requires lots of hard disks (solid state drives in this area are gaining traction, but as complementary caching devices). Further, as users opt for smaller-but-faster solid state drives in their notebooks, they will come to rely increasingly on both cloud storage as well as secondary external hard disk drives for all their raw data like movies, music, and photos.
Turning to the fundamentals of the company:
STX Gross Profit Margin data by YCharts
The company's been furiously buying back shares and has a solid dividend yield of 3.8%. Further, revenue and gross margins have skyrocketed with the company seeing "record sales." On a valuation basis, despite the share price hanging out near all-time highs, the price-to-earnings ratio is sitting near all-time lows.
STX PE Ratio data by YCharts
With a strong yield, a shrinking share count, increasing market share, strong gross margin profile, all coupled with a strong long term transitional strategy into flash storage solutions (particularly hybrids), this is one company worth taking a serious look at if the PC induced sell-off continues.
Disclosure: I am long INTC. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Awesome hemp protein!
BelieveJesus4EternalLifeにより May 04, 2007 に掲載
Now that I've tried all three brands of hemp protein powder, this one is my favorite. It's organic, high in fiber, and high in the other nutrients unique to the hemp nut, and low in cost. Nutiva was disappointing with the little hard things in it and Living Harvest tasts weird to me. So, this is the one I like.
Reviewer1365065により Oct 18, 2012 に掲載
i use it every day: 300ml of milk, 2 tblspoons ofhemp pro fiber, 1 spoon of organic chlorella and 1 spoon of chia seed. Feeling really better, don't want to eat, skin and hair become better. Thanks iherb for everything i need:)
Protein that doesn't hurt my stomach!
Reviewer1913520により Feb 06, 2012 に掲載
I tried soy protein, whey protein, and others. Each one made my stomach hurt. Then I gave hemp a try. It takes a few tries to get used to the texture, but it feels GREAT in my stomach! I like to put 2 peeled oranges in a blender first, add the Manitoba Harvest Hemp, and any other fruits, berries, veggies that sound good together. YUM!
Reviewer3305515により Jun 14, 2012 に掲載
This Hemp powder is amazing! The taste is a mild nutty flavor, the texture is good and most of all it makes my whole being feel cleansed. Every time I include some of this powder into my green smoothies, I get an even stronger detox effect. The high fiber and nutritional content bring my smoothies up to the next level! I truly hope more and more people start consuming this amazing plant! Do try out this powder if you're curious.

No taste... That's great!

I have used this product before and I like it as a source of easily digestible protein. I appreciate being able to get it at such a good price.
good taste, but the packaging needs improvement
Reviewer2881447により Sep 19, 2008 に掲載
The container leaks powder because there is not airtight seal. When I received the product, there was powder on the sides of the container. The plastic lid is the only seal. I would not purchase this product again because it was not sealed properly. I even considered returning it b/c I realized that it could be contaminated. Poorly packaged.

Can I get out of a bad deal?
Most of the time, a deal is a deal.
Can I get out of a bad deal?
Plea bargains are usually binding. Defendants cannot get out of deals just because they changed their minds. In certain (albeit rare) circumstances, however, when it would be unfair to allow a deal to stand, defendants may be allowed to withdraw guilty pleas. Examples of such circumstances may include when a defendant:
- • did not have the "effective assistance of counsel" in making the dea,l for instance, the defendant plead before a public defender could be appointed, or the defendant's lawyer gave him very bad advice, amounting to ineffective assistance (Morrison v. Frye, U.S. Supreme Court, 2012.)
- • is not informed of the underlying charges before agreeing to the deal
- • does not voluntarily agree to the deal, or
- • receives a sentence that differs from the agreed-upon deal

Conference Statistics
There are 397 participants, compared to 395 in 2013. Of those registered, there are:
- 353 conference attendees and 44 exhibitors
- 281ASM Members and 72 nonmembers (among the faculty participants)
- 43% first-time attendees
- 27 international attendees representing 15 countries
- 126 conference attendees registered for the asm2014 field trip on Saturday
- 44 conference attendees registered for the asm2014 one-day pass on Sunday
This year's 21st annual meeting in Danvers, MA, "NextGen MicroEdu: Engage, Construct, Connect," provided us with multiple opportunities to explore scientific and pedagogical advances for the 21st century. We engaged with colleagues, constructed new understandings, and made connections between theory and practice. We hope that all attendees left feeling energized and brimming with new ideas, and that these conversations and interactions will continue beyond the "walls" of the conference.
Building on the conference theme, ASMCUE held several excellent plenary sessions on cutting-edge science and the latest research in science education:
- Katherine P. Lemon (The Forsyth Institute, Boston Children's Hospital, and Harvard Medical School) opened the conference with her presentation, "Picking for Progress: Mining Nostril Microbiota for New Insights into Pathobionts." Dr. Lemon's research on nasal microbiota highlighted the many molecular interactions that can occur between benign and pathogenic bacteria. Her work has implications for the development of new therapies to control infection.
- Juliette N. Rooney-Varga (University of Massachusetts-Lowell) presented her work during the presentation, "Bringing Role-Playing Exercises, Interactive Simulations, and Climate Change Science Together for Transformative STEM Education." Through the use of simulations, Dr. Rooney-Varga actively engaged audience members in a role-playing exercise where they served as "delegates" in UN climate negotiation. This experience highlighted how immersive environments can engage students in climate change discussions.
- Carl E. Wieman (Stanford University) led a timely and relevant presentation, "Taking a Scientific Approach to Science Education." Dr. Wieman summarized the research on how people learn and how this information can inform educators, and he challenged attendees to consider new ways to effectively teach and evaluate these approaches. This highlighted how educational environments need to respond to needs of the 21st century learner.
- In addition, two cutting-edge presentations were sponsored by the American Academy of Microbiology (AAM): "The Human Microbiome" by Curtis Huttenhower and "How Microbes Can Help Feed the World" by Gwyn Beattie. Both topics were very timely and relevant to microbiologists, students, and the public alike.
The plenary and AAM-sponsored sessions were complemented by concurrent pedagogy and scientific sessions, microbrew symposia, and poster presentations. As has been the case in previous years, these sessions were designed "by faculty, for faculty" to provide opportunities to share resources and approaches, to showcase one's work, to share best practices or a favorite activity, and to present one's scholarship in microbiology and biology education. To this end, 81% of concurrent presentations were submitted by the community. Session themes this year included assessment tools and techniques, broadening participation, course-integrated undergraduate research, distance learning, facilitating active learning, professional development, and teaching resources. In addition, poster presentations were organized by content and pedagogy themes, with abstracts being published in the Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education (v15:1).
In addition to scheduled presentations, there were multiple, informal ways to interact with colleagues. These included breakout groups based on the ASM Curriculum Guidelines, where colleagues reviewed learning objectives and drafted relevant assessment questions. There were opportunities to network with colleagues during receptions, the exhibitor showcase and poster presentations, and during breakfasts organized by themes. Additionally, attendees were asked to "dress for microbial success" by wearing items based on their school colors or institution type.
Finally, there was time to interact with colleagues during a field trip to the asm2014 opening keynote session in Boston. In addition, this year premiered the first joint interactive plenary session, "NextGen Microbiologist," which was streamed live from Boston to Danvers. asm2014 presenters gave multiple "shout-outs" to remote ASMCUE attendees, who in turn asked questions and interacted with presenters through the use of social media. Related to technology, the Guidebook mobile app provided attendees with a convenient way to connect with each other and access conference information. Attendees created personal schedules, provided conference and session feedback, accessed Twitter feeds, and shared conference photos.
In closing, we thank all those who supported ASMCUE 2014, including ASM Education Department staff, Steering and Local Organizing Committee members, abstract and microbrew reviewers, Education Board representatives, microbrew facilitators and conference volunteers, exhibitors and sponsors, and presenters and attendees. Their efforts were much appreciated and greatly contributed towards the success of this year's conference.
