Why the iPad, Flash, Adobe Products and User Agent Detection Really Do Matter
Being the owner of a Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad, you might consider me an Apple Fanboy. I can tell you I've been involved in web development long enough to tell you that the current state of usability on the web is nearing the low point: when, in the late 90's, browsers had no standardization and we had to design … [Continue reading Why the iPad, Flash, Adobe Products and User Agent Detection Really Do Matter]

Johannesburg - Bryanston primary and pre-primary schoolchildren were traumatised, but unhurt, after a shooting at their school in Johannesburg on Tuesday, police said.The shoot-out between police and a suspected thief happened in the Bryanston Parallel Medium School's parking lot at about 07:20.This was usually the time parents dropped their children off, said Captain Kym Cloete."Apparently there were a few children and parents around, but it wasn't peak [drop off] period. The school is supplying trauma counselling to the children," she said.Police were called to the school after an alert was received about a suspicious-looking person in a black Subaru in the parking lot.A similar vehicle had been used at the scene of a car burglary."On approaching the vehicle, the male occupant pulled out a firearm and fired. Police tried to block his vehicle with their car, but he was able to evade it," said Cloete.An exchange of gunfire ensued. It was not known whether the man was wounded in the shoot-out. While making his getaway in the Subaru, he hit another car.Police suspected the man may be linked to a jamming device syndicate. It jams car alarm systems when vehicles are locked, allowing criminals to break into the car.Cloete said the gang had targeted primary schools in Sandton.According to The Star newspaper, parents rushed to the school on hearing the news to find shattered glass, a spent cartridge and a teacher's damaged car.Cloete said Sandton police were aware of car robberies at schools in the area and had printed leaflets to hand to parents. A security guard told the newspaper he had been giving out the leaflets when the shooting started."I just pressed the panic button that sends a message to the control room," he said.The school was not immediately available for comment.
Schools are supposed to be gun free zones are they not, well according to Gun Free South Africa! Guess that makes them easy pickings for criminals, who are quite aware that they will meet little or no resistance!
Very true Gary.
the new s.a. spawning little wanna be american home boy gangsta's. this country needs compulsary miletary servace
I am confused - a shooting at a school? At a Gun Free Zone?
Gun Free South Africa ran a HUGE PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN to get the public to believe and think that Gun Free Zones would make those places safe.
Law abiding people obeyed.
I guess Gun Free South Africa did not bother to tell the criminals that they should leave their illegal guns at home, or hand them in at the Police stations, hey?
I wonder when they are going to apologize and admit they they conned the government and the public?.
Gun Free Zones = No Risk Zone for Criminals as Gun Free South Africa helped disarm the victims.

We need to dramatically re-invest in public education and teachers. Years of ideological assault on schools and teachers have diminished the capacity of our classrooms to deliver what our students need in the 21st Century. Maintaining a low teacher - student ratio, providing teachers and students the tools they need for success and developing long term and sustainable funding streams are just three of my K-12 priorities. It is equally important that higher education is
affordable and attainable for anyone who can earn a degree.

nerd alert
season 2 of hbo's game of thrones airs tonight in the u.s. compelling stuff, though i'm not entirely sure i'd be able to follow it if i haven't read the books several years ago (and re-read since). and you wouldn't be surprised to learn that part of my excitement stems from seeing what the characters will be wearing, especially the lovely emilia clarke (above) and how they style that sweet white blond wig of hers. the big debate is whether she will have to have to walk around all season in a gown that exposes one boob-like her character did in the books. with all the boobs shown last season, i'm thinking yes.

Rethinking Indigenous Education: Culturalism, Colonialism and the Politics of Knowing
By Cathryn McConaghy
Over the last twenty years or so Indigenous education has been a highly contested terrain. In a context of claims and counter-claims about its forms and its capacity to transform the lives of Indigenous people, a range of views has been put forward. These views have informed a number of traditions: a paternalistic form of welfarism; assimilation, which seeks to institutionalise colonial mimicry; cultural relativism, which promotes cultural sensitivity and tolerance; and radicalism, which seeks to invert colonial power relations. Despite shifts in approach to Indigenous education a number of core assumptions remain intact across each of these competing traditions. Using recent resources from a theoretical field that is created through a nexus of postcolonial and poststructural feminist theories, this book identifies these common assumptions as a form of culturalism.
Culturalism emerges as central to an understanding of the relationship between colonial legitimacy, epistemic authority and disciplinary capacity within Indigenous education. The book examines how, as a set of epistemic assumptions, culturalism articulates with the complex process of rationalisation and the regimes of naturalism, patriarchy, nationalism, colonial desires, transnational capitalism and scientism that collectively constitute Indigenous Australians as subjects and objects of colonialism.
However, culturalism can be critiqued on a range of moral, conceptual and political grounds. The book signals a need from 'postculturalism' within Indigenous education and suggests how this may transcend some of the intractable problems associated with culturalism in this field.
The broader critique of the relationship between culturalism, colonialism and the politics of knowing explored in this book has relevance for rethinking Indigenous education in other postcolonial sites, such as in relation to First Nations education in Canada and the United States and Maori education in New Zealand.
The book seeks to make connections and to turn the gaze in on the processes by which disciplinary knowledges are constituted in colonial and postcolonial contexts. It is also politically motivated to challenge the obsessions with ethnography, with method and with 'Indigenous cultural difference' that limit the possibilities for decolonising Indigenous education. New postcolonialities require a rethinking of epistemological assumptions and the formulation of new legitimating conditions for Indigenous education, work that remains a challenge for us all in the millenium ahead.

Schools out, kids and everyone are out having fun. Unfortunately, there are things that can happen with all that fun and outdoor activities.
Out in the sun sunburns; Bar-b-ques burns again; Running, playing, tumbling bumps and bruises; Hiking and exploring bug bites and scratches; Gardening bug bites and sore knees and backs! Sitting back and relaxing in the evening preventing bug bites and the list goes on!
As you see these are just a few of the things summertime brings where you might need a bit of First Aid.
For these more serious injuries, you will want to put a cold cloth or ice pack to give immediate relief. Then see a medical professional.
for sprains, strains and muscle pulls. R Rest, I Ice, C- Compression, E- Elevate. Although this will give some immediate relief, please do, seek the advice of a licensed medical professional after the initial first aid to make sure you dont have a more serious injury. Once you have been given the okay you can use essential oils to speed healing.
Again, Ice or cold packs and see a medical professional.
Place a clean cloth, hold pressure on the wound and see a medical professional.
call an ambulance - hopefully, this wont be an issue for anyone.
You wont need to reach very far if you have your Essential oil first aid kit ready.
Every Essential oil First Aid kit needs the following:
Stings and bites, burns, bruises, scrapes. It has analgesic, antiseptic and more properties to help heal wounds. Not to mention the calming effect it will have to the person affected.
Good for all types of infections. It is antifungal, antiviral and anti-bacterial. Good for all kinds of skin wounds and irritations from sunburn, to acne, athletes foot and more.
Known for its anti-nausea and indigestion relief. Peppermint also helps with headaches, sinus congestion and even for painful joints!
Oh and if you are camping, Peppermint will help keep the ants away from the picnic table, the mice out of your tent and other unwanted pests away too!
Al just mentioned that if you go camping in bear country, you should be cautious about using any essential oil as some bears are easily attracted to sweet scents. Skip the Peppermint and Anise (a known bear attractant).
Excellent to help you and your children relax and fall asleep more easily after a day of excitement. Of course, they also have anti-inflammatory properties and are helpful for burns, bee stings, nettle rashes, and other injuries.
Best known to help relieve congestion from coughs and cold; But did you know that it is also an excellent insect repellent? Especially, Eucalyptus citriodora (Eucalyptus Lemon) has been recognized by the USDA and FDA as being very effective for insect repellency.
Eucalyptus has great antiseptic and antiviral properties. It is anti-inflammatory and a mild analgesic (relieves pain). There are several varieties of Eucalyptus and any of them would be a great addition to your kit.
This wonderful stimulating essential oil is great to use on long road trips. It will give you a pick me up and will be great after a long and tiring day.
Rosemary is also one of Al's recommendations along with Peppermint to use for those headaches that can pop up out of nowhere.
Just a drop or two mixed with a little carrier oil and rubbed on the back of your neck and shoulders will relieve those headaches within a few minutes. Use Rosemary on painful muscles and joints too!
This is a superb antiviral essential oil. It also has great antibacterial and antifungal properties. Please do not OVER use this oil. It is very potent and should not be used on an ongoing basis. It should be used diluted only. Use when needed and do not use beyond where you are healed and well.
Best known for its antiseptic and disinfecting properties; Lemon will freshen and clean most all surfaces. Lemon oil can be very effective on insect bites, provided you wont be in the sun. Some folks have found headache relief from using Lemon oil too.
Antiseptic, antibacterial, analgesic are the most important properties held by Clove bud oil. It is great for toothaches and other pains, such as painful joints and muscles. Be sure to dilute with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. It is one oil that could cause a skin reaction (burning sensation).
Is a great analgesic, antibacterial and helps if uses on bruises shortly after they occur. It will reduce the discoloration and help heal the bruise very quickly. Because it has analgesic properties bumps and bruises won't be as painful.
Simply put several drops of Lavender essential oil in a small basin of tepid water. If the body part that needs cleaning is easy to submerse, simply swish around in the water for a few minutes. If the body part cannot be submersed, then use a washcloth and gently wipe or sponge water over the area.
The natural antiseptic properties of Lavender may help fight any infection and its analgesic property will help with any pain or discomfort.
Use this wash for scrapes, bug bites and any other bump or bruise!
We carry essential oils with us wherever and whenever we travel.
When traveling Ideally, if you have a small insulated bag, or cooler, your oils will be much happier in that!! Protecting them from sunlight and excessive heat will prolong their effectiveness and extend their shelf life.
Don't forget to take along a small diffuser or two. The TruMelange fan diffuser or a Scentball are small and easy to use in any guest room or suite.
Have a safe and fun time while you travel and when you are at home too.

If you are looking to grow your online business or a physical business that has an online ordering system or mail option, shipping is a primary aspect of any marketing strategy. Many businesses offer one-price shipping, free shipping at specific times or for a dollar amount. Then there are those companies that decide to include the cost of shipping into their business expenses and offer free shipping to customers all of the time. While this may sound expensive, it can help your business to continue to grow.
Always Offer Free Shipping
Increase the volume of sales with free shipping. You are better able to compete with brick-and-mortar stores in the minds of consumers. Instead of getting out and going to the store and braving crowds and other hassles, customers will be more likely to shop online if they see that prices are comparable. Consumers also don't have to wonder if you have a deal on free shipping because they know it is applicable any time.
Special Offers
Not every business can offer free shipping on every order, especially if it is a small or new business. When you do offer free shipping, you increase the value of the order in the consumer's mind. One way to do this is to offer it in conjunction with another deal. For instance, you may have a special one-day sale where everything is 30% off. When free shipping is included, the customer knows they are getting an even better deal.
Other special offers include free shipping around holidays or during your slow season. You may also want to provide free shipping for orders that total a certain amount. You can even provide a discount code on Twitter, Facebook, or some other social network for free shipping. Only those who find out about it and share with friends will qualify.
Loyalty Deals
Keeping a customer is worth more than gaining a new one, so offer free shipping to customers that have been with you for a certain time. You may even create a program just for those VIP customers that include free or low cost shipping. They simply have to include a code or number to receive this members-only deal.
It gives the message that they are special and that you value their business. It also encourages them to continue shopping with you rather than trying to establish a new relationship with someone else.
When you offer free shipping, it makes your business more competitive. With the growth of online shopping, you are no longer just competing with the store down the street or across town but the one half-a-world away. Because someone else can offer free shipping, you must if you want to be competitive unless you can sell your products at such a deep discount to make up the difference.
If you are a business selling products online or through the mail, consider free shipping as part of your marketing plan. It just might boost your sales more than you ever thought possible.

You'll need
Ground Beef
Canned Mushrooms
Spaghetti Sauce
Tomatoe Paste with Garlic
Fat Free Cottage Cheese
Lasagna Noodles that dont need to be cooked.
Cheese. and if your like me LOTS OF IT.
Brown your beef. add canned mushrooms...add tomatoe paste...enough spaghetti sauce to make it nice and moist but not runny. Add the container of Cottage Cheese.. and about a cup of grated cheese. Mix well.
Preheat your oven to 375
In a cake pan put some spaghetti sauce spread evenly across the bottom.(this will keep your noodles moist when baking) layer your noodles across the pan... scoop about half of your meat mixture in a spread evenly over noodles... another layer of noodles... final layer of meat... scatter your remaining cheese on the top. the more the better of course. lol. Bake for about an hour... check with fork to make sure your noodles are cooked... let this cool FOREVER. It is smokin hot . Cut it up for the kids and it will cool much faster. Enjoy. I know All my kids love Masagna as my oldest says.

Now I have never made this but it didn't sound too bad... Quite different from how I usually made chicken cordon Bleu but what they hey...its work a try! Plus my kids like anything as long as there is cheese in it so I'm sure it will go over well.
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
From: http://www.kids-cooking-activities.com/easy-kids-meals-6orfewer-maindishes.html
2-3 cups chicken chopped
2 cups cubed ham
1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
Cream of chicken soup
1/2-1 cup sour cream
1/2-1 cup milk
Combine cooked chicken, ham, and cheese together in casserole dish. In separate bowl combine soup and sour cream. Add milk to make a sauce. If you'd like a thinner sauce add more sour cream and milk if you desire thicker add less milk and sour cream. Pour over mixture and bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Can also serve with noodles in the casserole on the side.

Put in the oven on 400 for about an hour. maybe more...I usually check it after an hour and everything is done. This is Seriously GOOD. takes about.Oh. 3 minutes to put together .

From Erin Lawsons Family cooking blog (thanks!!)
1 can Fiesta Cheese Soup
½ cup milk
1 cup cooked chicken (I use my rotisserie chicken)
Tortillas (the small fajita size)
shredded cheddar cheese
(If you can't find the Fiesta Cheese soup, use the cheddar cheese soup, and substitute the milk with salsa.)
Preheat oven to 350. Heat the soup and milk in a pan. Add the bite-sized chicken, and mix well. Fill each tortilla with a large spoonful of the soup mix, and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up tortilla, and place in a casserole/baking dish. Bake for about 20 min (uncovered). Just before serving, sprinkle some cheese over the quesadillas, and let it melt. Makes about 7 quesadillas.

SOS (otherwise known as Meat Rice)
From Jennifer Maynard www.themaynards3.blogspot.com
*This recipe came from my Grandfather who cooked it on a Navy ship and the SOS does not stand for anything really nice, so we changed the name to Meat Rice.
1 lb ground beef
Dehydrated onions
2 beef bouillon cubes
Brown meat in skillet with dehydrated onions. Drain meat and onion mixture. Add flour and water. Put in 2 beef bouillon cubes while continuing to add flour and water until it is the consistency that you like (and it makes as much as you need it to).
Serve mixed with rice or mashed potatoes.

Cream of Chicken/Rice/Veggies?? I made that name up. Genuine hey.
Okay. Here's what I use. Feel free to add other veggies too.
2 chicken breast cubed up...cut em tiny.
2 large carrots sliced thinly
some mushrooms chopped finely
frozen peas and or corn
occasionally I put cubed potatoes
fat free chicken broth
cream of broccoli soup
OXO chicken broth spice stuff.
roasted garlic and peppers spice
Prepare yourself. This is NOT a well structured recipe if you haven't noticed already.
In a big pot I cook the chicken...add the water/broth/broccoli soup mix...whisk together...add all your veggies bring to a boil and reduce heat. Add all your veggies and spices... I add the oxo to compensate for however much water I added.
In a separate pot cook your rice and then add it into the large pot... add some milk. 1 cup maybe. bring to a boil. mix water and cornstarch and add to boiling soup to thicken. That's it that's all. And its delicious.

You'll Need
Chicken Pieces
Any other veggies you'd like
Shake and Bake Original
In a casserole dish spread your chicken pieces along the bottom... I usually cut my potatoes into wedges and slice the carrots... spread as many as you would like on top of the chicken...add a little water to the casserole pan...Id say half and inch or so. Keep in mind the more water you add the more 'gravy' you will have after it is baked. spread a package or two(depending on size of casserole) of shake and bake over the entire thing , Cover and bake in oven at 400 for about an hour. The finished product will have a delicious shake and bake gravy in the bottom for your potatoes :) I love this...my boys love this...my husband loves this. Its a quick and easy winner. I usually use drumsticks and I take the skin off... But you can leave it on too- Chicken skin just grosses me out so its personal preference :)

"ITEXPO was a great show. TMC always does an outstanding job of bringing together the industry, especially a vast number of serious buyers."
--Chris Muller, PAETEC
"Overall ITEXPO West was good. I am always interested in trade show attendance and vibrancy since they are good business indicators for our market. Attendance at the keynotes seemed to be up from last year and the exhibit hall had the same number of booths. More importantly, I did not detect any gloom. The continued growth of VoIP in a recession is a good sign for rapid growth of the VoIP business when the overall market rebounds."
--Jim Dalton, Chief Executive Officer, TransNexus, Inc.
"We thank you for the consistent quality inherent in ITEXPO events. The energy and volume of quality relationships enabled by the show are only matched by the enthusiasm and attention of the ITEXPO team. We look forward to the next show."
--Sal Costantino, President, PULSE, Inc
"A great show! I have been to several ITEXPO events over the past few years, but I believe this year was the best by far. Lots of enthusiasm, interesting topics and effective speakers. Very nice combination."
-- Mark Castleman, PBX Central Corp.
"The people that attended the show come from enterprise, which we are targeting at AudioCodes, and medium sized companies that are growing. So the leads that we get here could generate future business. We have many meetings scheduled because a lot of executives come to ITEXPO. We have closed deals at the show, which makes ITEXPO very successful for us and we want to come back to even more shows."

Kindness is free to give and receive, so spread some whenever you can!
Yes, I am on novolog now for meals! (need to update my info)I don't think it is "bad" to do this. I am worried about doing it with NPH though! Do you have rapid insulin?? If you plan to cover cravings with NPH you will need to have a very strict schedule on those cravings to match your peaks! I don't think that is a good idea at all.
I started using insulin to get off the Sulfonureas and the really low carb diet. Some can low carb for a long time and some can't.
I admit to using insulin so I can get some carbs but I think it needs to be done with restraint and reason. Too many carbs is bad for a "D" no matter what. Personally I try to stay under 100 carbs a day. I can't bolus enough to eat cereal - bummer!

When I was diagnosed with T2 I went on a diabetes list - not this one- had read that people were doing this. I thought, wow! With insulin you can just add more and eat what you want. Not that this is a reason to take insulin but having just given up everything that I like to eat it seemed "tempting". I still read that people do it - maybe more T1s than T2s - while both types are called Diabetes, I think in time T2s will be separated out and not included as the action of the diseases are different - even though they result in the same symptoms and damage. Anyway, yes, I have heard that people on insulin before meals do this.
i take extra insullin not to much when i need to eat something unusualy like cake or rise somthing have high carb
Since I need insulin for every morsel of food that goes into my mouth I am going to say yes. I try to avoid foods that I need a ton of insulin for because I either take too much or too little, unless you made that food yourself you can't be sure of carb content no matter what the package says, at least that is how I feel about it.
If I am at a party and there is B-day cake and I really want some do I have it, yes. Doc wants me to be as close to normal as possible, that way I don't have to feel depressed about not being able to eat like everyone else. Make sense? I do not indulge often but when I really want to I do and I don't feel bad about it.

I admit I do it! Being diabetic doesn't mean that you can't eat! My body doesn't make insulin so I have cover what I eat with an injection. I use humalog for my bolus so it works within 15 minutes. Depending on what I'm eating, for example white crust pizza. I'll take my injection before I eat. White starches digest faster so it can spike your sugars. I always try to make sure I have that covered so my bg doesn't spike! If I eat more then what I planned then I take some more. I'm 24 years old! What 24 year old doesn't eat pizza!?!
Watching what you eat is important not just for insulin sake but for weight and cholesterol reasons as well. It's not good to indulge all the time but every once in while I think is okay, keeps you sane and feeling 'normal'. Plus being too ridged with your diet is never good, that's the one reason diet fads never work, you need to have some wiggle room otherwise you're likely to over-do it.
Also, if you feel like you haven't been very 'good' lately you can always work treats into your diet. Like if you want ice cream after dinner on a hot summer day, have a salad or something very low carb for dinner or eat a little less so that way the ice cream is a part of your carb intake for that meal.

Im a teenager and sometimes I get overboard. Especially I don't wanna miss out on my friend's parties and such. I tend to take novolog for it or sometimes try and work it out.
You have two choices... Live to your treatment or use your treatment to live. Both have their pros and cons.

TDR Kotelnikov is a brand new free mastering compressor in VST/AU/AAX plugin formats for Windows and Mac based digital audio workstations. The plugin is released by Tokyo Dawn Labs, who are well known for their absolutely brilliant TDR Feedback Compressor.
Coming from the guys who brought us the amazing TDR Feedback Compressor, my expectations for this brand new mastering compressor are very high. The official announcement says that TDR Kotelnikov is basically the successor of TDR Feedback Compressor, based on a similar control scheme and sharing some of the high-precision algorithms for dynamics control.
See also: Free Compressor VST Plugins!
I still haven't tested the new plugin, but all of the comments I've seen so far are positive. TDR Kotelnikov was designed to be a stealthy compressor for use on the master bus and it seems that the developers have nailed it again. Some users are already describing TDR Kotelnikov as the most transparent compressor which they've ever used. Hopefully, a full review of the new plugin will be published on BPB in the next couple of days.
The plugin is available in two different flavors. The basic version of TDR Kotelnikov is completely free to download and use. The alternative Gentleman's Edition of the plugin (labeled TDR Kotelnikov GE) is priced at €40 and it adds several improvements to the standard feature set. Please note that the free version of the plugin is not crippled in any way. It's a fully functional mastering tool and the alternative version of the plugin simply adds some new features.
It's also worth noting that you can choose to download the portable version of the plugin (just a ZIP archive containing the DLL file) if you don't like using the installer. That's always a nice move! I usually like to avoid installers, unless they're absolutely necessary for the plugin to work properly.
I'd like to thank BPB readers K and Drew Lake for letting me know about the new release. Thanks for the support guys! And of course, thanks to Tokyo Dawn Labs for yet another powerful freeware tool! It's amazing how many fantastic free effects and instruments we have at our disposal these days.
TDR Kotelnikov is available for free download via Tokyo Dawn Labs (9.7 MB download size, ZIP archive, 32-bit & 64-bit VST/AU/AAX plugin format for Windows & Mac).

The number of people reaching retirement age grows every year, bringing new challenges for seniors, their families and those providing care.
There are currently 1.13 million people living in Tennessee who are 65 or older. That number is projected to rise to 1.26 million in 2020, making up 17 percent of the state's population.
By the year 2030, more than one-fifth of all Tennesseans will be age 65 or older, according to the Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability.
Knox County is currently home to more than 68,000 seniors. That number is projected to rise by 57 percent to more than 106,000 by 2030, representing 20 percent of the Knox County population.
In other East Tennessee counties, the percentage of the county's population that will be 65 or older is even higher. According to the Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability, in 2030, senior citizens will make up the following percentages in these East Tennessee counties: Hamblen County - 23 percent; Sevier County - 26 percent; Blount County - 27 percent; Anderson County - 27 percent; Campbell County - 28 percent; Fentress County - 31 percent, Cumberland County - 42 percent.

Tony Hayward, BP's CEO, has finally gotten his life back. Hayward watched his yacht race over the weekend. CBS News NYT
Michelle Bachmann (R), Sarah's soul sister, called the 20 billion dollar fund set up by BP to pay for damages caused by it a "redistribution-of-wealth" fund. Minnesota Independent Michelle decided to become a republican after reading Gore Vidal's book "Burr", for reasons that would make sense only to those who have suffered a living form of brain death. Maybe this is an idea for yet another vampire movie or TV series. Among her accomplishments before rising in the ranks of the GOP was a fight to stop the release of the Disney movie "Alladin", viewing the movie as publicity for paganism and witchcraft. Wikipedia I hope that Michelle donates her brain to scientific research.
The NYT had a story over the weekend that discusses the fiasco at Fannie and Freddie, now estimated to cost the U.S. taxpayers 389 billion with the current tab at 145.9 billion. I wonder if Barney Frank and other liberal Democrats will ever admit to making mistakes in broadening the role of these GSEs. In an earlier article in the NYT, Barney was quoted as saying that he was "not worried about Fannie and Freddie's health" and wanted them to do more. Now, does that sound like Barney is as smart as he thinks he is?
The Old Geezer attended the morning staff meeting for about ten seconds before leaving to embark on further meditation about the meaning of life.

This article has the estimated number of millionaire households by country. The Global Millionaire Boom The U.S. has the greatest number at an estimated 4,715,000, controlling about 56% of the countries wealth, but Singapore has the greatest concentration as a percent of the population at 11.4%.
This site has a good discussion of what is happening in the Bond Market during the day.
1. Bought ETF WisdomTree Total Dividend Fund (DTD) at $41.7 (Large Cap Valuation and Dividend Growth Strategies)(see Disclaimer): With 100 shares of this ETF, I will reinvest the dividends which are paid quarterly. This ETF focuses on U.S. large cap dividend stocks and is dividend weighted annually: WisdomTree Dividend Index Its purchase is consistent with both my dividend growth strategy and the large cap valuation strategy. {See Item # 3 Large Cap Valuation Strategy-A New Long Term Strategy and Item # 6 Common Stock Dividend Growth vs. Long Term Investment Grade Bonds }
As of 6/17/2010, AT & T had the largest weight at 4.08% of assets, followed by Exxon at 3.3%, Chevron at 2.41%, P & G at 2.33%, and JNJ at 2.24%. The expense ratio is .28%. Dividends are paid quarterly. Distributions I view this purchase to be the replacement for Conoco, EWS and EXAR sold last Thursday. Item # 4 Sold COP EWS & EXAR-De-Risking Process COP is part of DTD at 1.45% of assets. With the ETF, I maintain a similar dollar exposure to stocks while achieving a greater degree of diversity compared to those 3 securities (risk dispersion). I therefore view this ETF purchase as consistent with the overall risk reduction approach currently being implemented here at HQ.
2. Sold 50 MJH at 23.60 (see Disclaimer): MJH is a trust certificate containing a BAC TP that was purchased during the Near Depression period at $7.51. Buy of 50 MJH at $7.51 I decided to take the gain for several reasons. First, I am taking some long term capital gains in 2010 since I anticipate that the tax rate will go up after this year. Second, unlike all other TPs, this one has some difficult to understand tax issues associated with it, at least according to Fidelity. I bought the security in a taxable account. Lastly, I have freed up just enough capital to buy 50 of the highest yielding BAC TP currently available in my Roth, which is where I prefer to buy TPs for several reasons. If there is a deferral of interest payments, I can avoid the tax consequences by holding the security in a retirement account. And, I prefer to have securities which pay interest in the retirement account and securities that pay qualified dividends in a taxable account. So, I will probably buy another BAC TP in the Roth before the end of June.
I am not limited to TPs originally issued by BAC, since Bank of America has acquired several companies that issued TPs. I have discussed two such examples in the past, including a purchase of a TP issued by Fleet Boston (FBFPRN & FBFPRM) and another by Countrywide (CPP). Bought 50 of the TC CPP at $24.2/ bought 100 fbfprn There are other similar examples. The other examples, some of which are exchange traded, can be found at Bank of America | Investor Relations | Capital Issuances. (click "Trust Preferred and Hybrid Securities Issues" at the top of the page for the listing)
3. Bought 50 Walgreen (WAG) at $30.15 (see Disclaimer): I am not sure what possessed me to buy WAG on Friday. I sold 50 shares at $38.55 in the Fall of last year, so I suspect my motive was to buy back those shares at a lower price, a typical trading mode decision of the LB.
It was not unexpected that CVS and Walgreens would settle their spat. WSJ This settlement did remove an issue that would have kept me from buying back those 50 shares. While WAG has been struggling some lately, the valuation at $30 per share is compelling from a long term perspective. By long term, I am referring to sitting on the shares until I can sell them again at over $38. The analyst consensus estimate is for an E.P.S. of $2.63 in the fiscal year ending in August 2011, up from $2.22 in fiscal 2010. WAG: Analyst Estimates for WALGREEN Based on the $2.63 estimate, the forward P/E is around 11.4, which is low for WAG historically. Price to sales is around .44 with a five expected P.E.G. ratio of less than 1. WAG: Key Statistics for WALGREEN I read the S & P and Morningstar reports before making this purchase. Both have WAG rated as 4 stars. The S & P 12 month target is $40.
The Walgreen Company is ubiquitous in the American landscape, with stores within five miles of 70% of the U.S. population. As of 3/31/2010, the company had 7,680 stores ( form10q.htm). Competitive pressures are intensifying however, particularly from CVS Caremark and Wal-Mart. The last quarter was disappointing with same store sales declining .2%. It is too early to know whether the same store trends mostly results from the recession or a longer term problem for WAG.
For its second fiscal quarter, which ended on 2/28/2010, WAG reported an E.P.S. of 68 cents per share which included 2 cents for restructuring. SEC Filed Press Release
The dividend has been increased every year since 2001 but at a slow pace, doubling in about a decade (14 cents in 2001 and 48 cents in 2009, annually)
The shares are currently trading below the 200 and 50 day moving average lines: WALGREEN Share Price Chart | WAG
This buy is not consistent with my de-risking process and is viewed as an exception/special situation.
If I sold the shares purchased on Friday at $38.50, the gain on the shares would be around 27%. I view the downside risk at the $30 price to be less significant than the potential upside gain. With the dividend, I could have a good gain of close to 15% annualized if that $38.5 target was hit in 2 years and more if I was able to sell the shares earlier.
4. Bought 100 of the ETF ENY at 17.56 (see Disclaimer): I have bought and sold this ETF and have discussed it in prior posts. Bought 50 ETF ENY at $13.6 Sold ETF ENY at $15.75 The sponsor is Claymore and the ETF contains Canadian energy stocks. I recently sold my positions in two canadian energy trust, PWE and PVX, and still own 210 shares of Enerplus, owning the Canadian traded shares ERF-UN.TO. This is a link to the holdings, all Canadian energy companies: Canadian Energy Income Index ETF - ENY There are several reasons for buying this ETF back after selling it at a lower price. For one, these companies are not involved in the Gulf of Mexico, except for Nexen, to my knowledge, though several have offshore drilling operations in other locations. Reuters Nexen announced only limited impact from Obama's six month moratorium on deep sea drilling in the Gulf. Reuters
I suspect that Obama's moratorium on deep sea drilling in the Gulf will make Canada's energy plays more appealing to investors. Lastly, the drilling moratorium may lead to higher energy prices this summer. Now, all of that is just a bunch of hunches strung together into a semi-coherent train of logic. This one is set up to reinvest the quarterly dividend payments.
Encana sold all of its Gulf of Mexico wells to Statoil in 2005. Encana - 2005 News Releases - EnCana agrees to sell Gulf of Mexico assets to Statoil for US$2 billion

The justice ministry says they cannot intervene directly when banks refuse to conduct business with companies in the sex industry such as escort companies or massage parlous.THE NETHERLANDS – The justice ministry is powerless against banks' refusal to conduct business with companies in the sex industry, reports ANP.
The ministry was responding an appeal for help from the trade association, the Association of Relaxation Company Operators (VER), who said banks are increasingly turning down business from escort companies or massage parlous.
The ministry said the government cannot intervene directly, and bona fide sex businesses should take legal action if banks refuse them as customers.
According to VER, banks are refusing to accept businesses in sex-related industry as new clients or closing their accounts even though they are legitimate.
The association claims banks are tarring all sex companies with the same brush because of negative associations with human trafficking and money laundering.
In a letter to the justice ministry in January, association director André van Dorst said the ING bank has offered assurances that it will do business with companies if they can prove they are operating legally.
Van Dorst is calling on other banks to follow ING's example.
