NEWTOWN TWP. — It isn't always about creating a lot of opportunities.
Sometimes you just need one good chance.
The Council Rock South field hockey team had a good chance early and capitalized for a 1-0 victory over visiting Neshaminy in the second round of the District One Class AAA tournament Wednesday at Council Rock North's Walt Snyder Stadium.
The Golden Hawks' Sam Olson tipped a rebound past Neshaminy goaltender Haille Sheppard less than three minutes into the game for what would prove to be the only tally.
Then CR South had to survive, as Neshaminy fought back for the next 57 minutes.
"We scored early and, while it's great to score, sometimes we have a habit of trying to just hold that lead and not go after more goals," CR South goaltender Anna Sternberg said.
"But we didn't do that in this game. They came at us hard, but we kept trying to push up and score another one.
"Honestly, scoring early in this game was a confidence boost. We played so well, and I'm so happy with how we were able to keep it out even when they were really coming at us."
This was the third meeting of the year between the two Suburban One League National Conference rivals. CR South won the first game 1-0 and the rematch was a 0-0 tie.
"We knew they'd be tough because we'd seen them a couple of times already," Sternberg said. "They played us really close both times, and we were really lucky to win the first game because they had a lot more chances than we did.
"We were nervous about this game, because we knew how hard it would be and, at this point, if you lose you're done, but we got over the nerves because we wanted to advance and we knew we had to win to do that.
"There were times in the game when they were really taking it to us, but we held strong."
CR South has made one previous trip to the district quarterfinals, in 2004.
"This is where we hoped we'd be at the beginning of the year," Sternberg said. "I knew we could do it, and it feels so great to be here. I'm more than excited. It's so cool to be going this far."
The Redskins, the 10th seed of the tournament, had two excellent scoring chances in the first half that they were unable to capitalize on.
Midway through the first half, Abby Alexis took a shot for Neshaminy and hit the post. Later, as the final seconds ticked down in the period, Neshaminy was awarded a corner. Christen Pennington inserted the ball to Maria Palmieri, who shot just wide, hitting the side of the cage.
Neshaminy dominated the second half statistically, as the Redskins got three shots on goal and five corners while holding CR South to no shots and just one corner.
"We definitely thought we had a chance to win, and we did have chances in this game," Neshaminy coach Caitlin Koczynski said. "Unfortunately, on their big chance, they put the ball in the cage and, on our big chances, we did not, and that's what it came down to."
CR South, the seventh seed of the tournament, travels to defending champion and second seed Central Bucks South, a 5-1 winner over No. 18 Strath Haven, in Friday's quarterfinals. The winner of that game is guaranteed a berth in the PIAA tournament.
The two met earlier in the year with CB South, the SOL Continental Conference champion winning 2-0.
The Redskins saw their season end in the second round of the tournament for the second consecutive year.
"It's frustrating because we played well, but when you try your best, you can't be unhappy, and we definitely did our best," said Neshaminy senior Amanda Binczewski. "When they scored, it was a wake-up call for us because we came back with a lot of power.
"We did dominate a lot after that, and I thought we could come back, but we didn't."
Neshaminy ended the day with six shots and nine corners. CR South had three shots and five corners.

In March of 1993, my former "friend" Paul Urios stood trial for third degree felony theft and grand theft auto. I remember waking up to a cool day with the sun out brighter than ever. It was a normal day, but when I got home from school, I learned that dad went to the court house that morning to testify against him and to claim ownership of some of the things stolen from us that we learned were later recovered in a storage shed. Paul stole from us and from our neighbors. The amount of loot was valued at $88,000 in total. Little did I know when I met Paul that he and his cohorts would have my entire neighborhood in an uproar like I couldn't have imagined.
But unlike my other former (poorly chosen) friends, Paul was never my friend. He was just the friend of a friend whom I chose to put up with—one I shouldn't have put up with. I put up with him for a time, which means I was still to blame for all the grief we suffered from the guy. Paul had the distinction of being one of the people in my life that I really and truly hated.
Paul had just turned 18 when I met him through my friend Travis, an almost equally big failure of a human being. Paul was very skinny and tall, about 6'1 in height. He was a mixed race kid, half-white and half-Hispanic. He had the hairiest skinny arms of any skinny guy I knew (I don't know why that detail stuck with me, but it has). Paul's father was reputed to be a serious drug dealer. I doubted that.
One of the scariest moments of my life came right after I met Paul. It was then that I met his dad. A friend and I were waiting in his car. Paul was taking so long inside his house. Said he would get something from dad and then be back out. He took so long that I proposed my friend and I go in there and see what was up. We walked in not knowing that behind that cracked door were two bad men.
The door floated open and an older man that looked like Paul was sitting down doing something at his kitchen table. He was talking with Travis, who had gone into the room with Paul. The man looked up and saw us, and in a flash of movement, knocked some newspapers and other things off his table and grabbed a large gun and pointed it at us. Travis jumped up and said: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, not them! They are okay!"
I almost pissed my pants right then and there, and so did Tim, the friend I was with. "I almost fucking killed you, Homes." the man said, who turned out to be Paul's dad (no surprise there). What was a surprise was the kind of funny-looking gun that was pulled on us when we got close enough to see it; it was an Uzi 9mm! Where the fuck…no, how the fuck…do you get an uzi??? It was real, no question about it. It was the same type of gun Ham Tyler (Michael Ironside) used to kill the lizard aliens with on V The Final Battle years earlier.
Fuck, I almost bit the big one! Takes a while to sink in, but it finally occurred to me that I could very well have died that day. His dad was used to the thought of cops busting in. After staring us down and putting down that huge, freaking cool-ass gun, he picked up his things and went back to doing what I suspected he was doing—making blunts and sorting drugs. His whole table was covered with pills of various colors and shapes, and weed (and who the fuck knows what else).
Paul's dad wrapped up some tan "horse pills" in a paper bag and gave it to Paul, saying: "These go to Reyna. Noon, no later!" Paul didn't say a word. He just took the pills and put them in his right-side pocket. Paul's dad didn't care about me knowing what went on in the house. Travis vouched for me, and besides, he figured that any friend of his son's was a low enough drug-user just like he was. His son was given tons of drugs that he both sold and used. We dropped off the package, delivered it to a nice pink-bricked house on the north side of town and went on our way.
Paul had a gun too. It was some kind of semi-automatic pistol. He let me hold it. He always had it on him, with those baggy-ass white and gray sports jersey sort of "gangsta" clothes he wore. He could hide the gun well. He pulled it out quite often, which made me nervous as shit. It was not surprising to learn that one of the hits on his boastfully lengthy rap sheet was brandishing a firearm! I was afraid of the guy. I really was. I had good reason to be, too. I would soon find out just how good the reason was. I knew I was dealing with a "hard" character, but I had no idea just how hard…yet.
I remember our hanging out one afternoon. I decided to skip school to see what mischief we would get into. We hid behind a tall, grassy area behind a fence separating the Eden community of homes from Green Spring valley on the city's northeast side where I lived. Had to be careful not to get spotted by dad on his way to work! It was foggy that day. We hung out doing nothing the whole day, and then a bus full of middle-schoolers drove by and dropped off some kids after school.
Those small kids – staring out the back window, giggling and pointing at things like kids are wont to do – were met with gang signs flashed back at them from Paul. And that wasn't all he flashed them with. A couple of kids got off the bus and that shiny gun was shown the light of day as he pulled up his shirt to show them what would await them if they messed with him. They were threatened as a group, and of course, ran home crying and told their parents. The police were called and the area was combed. We were hiding out at Travis' house by then and laid low for the night.
We three hoodlums then met up on a street a couple houses over from mine. As I approached, he and Travis were staring down at some kid, some grade-schooler. They were doing what I thought they were doing. The poor baby was scared to death as Paul lectured him. I remember walking up and hearing how much joy was in Paul's ordinarily monotonous voice as he threatened this young kid: "That's right, I could've fucking shot your bitch ass right back there for looking at me the way you did, but I didn't. So get the fuck out of here and don't ever cross me again!" The boy walked off, afraid as could be. He couldn't even look down or around. He turned the corner and was gone. This made me so angry. I wanted to hit him, but my mind never left that gun he kept tucked in his pants.
You would think that with "hardness" comes "hard" judgment, but that wasn't so. Paul wasn't in any danger, and yet he flashed a deadly weapon at kids much smaller than him. That was weak, not the mark of a big time "gangsta." Did that connect with me? No. Paul was a dangerous thug who took great pleasure from intimidating people, not a real gangster. He wasn't smart enough to get ahead in the rough world of street crime. He was too stupid to be a good street junkie. His dad was always chewing him out for his stupid moves. I remember visiting his house for the final time. Paul's stupid moves got us all scolded. "I will kill all three of you if you fuck me over." Then he paused and pointed to his son and said: "I don't give a fuck if you're my son either! Don't you ever fuck me over!" I had to find a way to disconnect from this crowd. I knew that now. I never went over there again.
The whole four months I knew and hung out with Paul were infuriating. I got home from school one day, kicked off my shoes, and went to the kitchen to eat. Ordinary enough of a day, right? Wrong. There was Paul, in my fucking kitchen, eating out of my fridge, from my family's bowl of beans! He was dipping the spoon that went into his mouth back into the bowl—that is a mortal sin against me! I was fucking furious. He didn't say anything, even when I said: "What are you doing here?" I wanted to say: "What the fuck are you doing uninvited in my house, you son of a bitch?" But I didn't have the guts. Seeing that I was quiet and curious, he finally said: "I was hungry. Dad's busy. Needed a place to hang for a while."
He stayed around all goddamn evening and didn't leave until nightfall. The rest of his (my) friends came over and we hung out. Paul was so spacey, so out of it, using his own "stuff" that he barely talked at all. LSD on paper patches were one of his favorite things to use. I remember him just laying there and laughing for about 45 minutes. He rolled a blunt in my upstairs bathroom before calling it a night and heading out. I was so mad at myself for not having the balls to man-up and kick them out of there, but there was still the matter of that gun. I felt so sullied just having him around, especially in my kitchen.
The times we were at Travis' house were no less angering. We would be hanging out and Paul would get finicky. Like a three-year-old child giggling while hitting a cat with a tree branch, Paul would start jabbing people, punching and laughing lightly. It wasn't funny for longer than ten seconds, but it lasted longer than that. I nearly hit the guy in the lip, I recall distinctly. He was no match for me without that gun. He finally backed off and went to listening to what seemed to be his favorite song, "No Sunshine" by Kid Frost from the 1992 album "East Side Story." He put the CD player (brand new thing at the time) on repeat. The song was about a 21-year-old man spending life in prison for stabbing another man in the heart in a knife fight. The chorus went…
"Ain't no sunshine. Ain't no sunshine. Ain't no sunshine. Ain't no sunshine. Ain't no sunshine…anytime. "
Neither Paul, nor any of my friends appreciated this song for what it was intended to accomplish. A week later, Paul's in jail, Travis tells me. What for? Second charge of brandishing a shotgun out in the front yard. He was out and hanging with us again in less than two weeks. Dad pulled some strings or something and got him out…and then beat the shit out of him. And, it was back to his old ways of flashing his shiny gun at young kids and graphitizing sidewalks.
The Paul era ended when he and a druggy friend named Corey got busted trying to steal a car five houses up from ours. The owner spotted the break lights and he called the police. The two were caught in the act. Down they went.
A day before the arrests, Paul had threatened a neighbor who was active in the homeowner's association. The man made some calls and Paul's name came up, as did mine. The police raided his dad's rented storage facility and found the $88,000 worth of appliances and stolen goods. Paul's dad went down on drug charges and receiving stolen property. I was in the clear, but a neighbor was so pissed about the whole ordeal that he went over to me, poked me in the chest in our own yard, and said: "YOU and your dipshit friends brought this on!" Dad didn't say a thing, but looking back, I would have done the same thing my neighbor did. Kids are stupid as hell.
The neighborhood was again peaceful. Now we're back to where we were when we first started the article. I hated Paul, but I was still at fault for letting a bad person into my life. A number of expensive items, including one kick-ass boom box that I miss to this day, were gone forever. It was all because of me.
Sometimes people can be worthless—not just rebellious or misguided, but worthless. Sometimes you have to give up on a person, and that can be hard. The toughest thing about giving up on someone is that you have trouble letting go of that childlike image of the way they used to be. Take the worst druggie in the world; those who love them look past their scars, their never-ending lies, their weathering looks, and their "jones-ing" fits of anger and see the baby who used to crawl around and coo so cutely in the playpen. They aren't that person anymore. Some people can see that easier than others. Every mass-murdering dictator there ever has been once played and fell down and cried out innocently to mommy for help. Then they grew and became what their rasing and blueprints determined that they would be—evil.
You hear about the stories on the news all the time, about how some mother did the unthinkable to her child, or some quiet and "innocent" kid was guilty of such heinous bloodshed that words can't capture it fully. But those things aren't like a rape or a robbery. Those can happen to anybody. The one thing that just about all rape victims have in common is that they never thought it could happen to them. But with genetics, it's unlikely that you know too many people who are morally defective because of bad genes. But look in the bad crowds and you'll find them.
Life is such a miserably delicate balance. It takes just the right genetics to live a productive life, to feel emotional pain, to receive instruction, to be balanced chemically and emotionally so as to be productive. We take it for granted, but the conscience isn't anything but a patchwork system of naturally queued reactions that work together to produce affection and remorse.
People – mostly the kids – wish for things like normalcy, but then they spend their young lives hating being normal. They want to believe they are exceptional, but when it becomes clear that they and their problems/challenges are normal, they aren't satisfied. They've got to be more than that. Look at me and my friend Josh; we weren't the bad-asses we wished we were. We weren't "hardcore" when we thought we were. We were just observers, imitators who tried to reproduce what we saw. We were soft. Paul was hard, but look at what being "hard" gets you? It makes you a candidate for self-destruction.
You can spend your life wishing you had something that made you more than average…more strength, more courage, more intelligence, more abilities…but you may not want those after all. Those exceptional qualities will come with exceptional difficulties. It will average out in the end. Just live in fantasy and be content with the fact that you are not your hero idol. Let Jack Bauer be the one to confront terrorists. Let Atlas hold up the world while you stay at home in bed. It's more fun to dream. That's the only lesson I can get out of it.
The brightest and most remarkable stars in the sky are not the brightest, like the blue stars, the ones that are a million times larger than our sun. They are the medium-sized orange stars like our sun, the ones that live for billions of years. The big ones consume their fuel too fast and are too heavy. They explode into an array of colors, like the colors a druggie sees all around him when he gets his kicks. Is that a sick coincidence or just the thought of a blob of matter who happens to be onto something? I have no idea.

Sadie McKee is a 1934 motion picture, directed by Clarence Brown, and starring Joan Crawford, Gene Raymond, Franchot Tone and Edward Arnold. In the film, Crawford plays the title character—a young working girl suffering through three troubled relationships on her road to prosperity.
Sadie McKee works as a serving maid in the same household where her mother is a cook, and is admired by the son of her employer, lawyer Michael Alderson. However, when Michael talks badly of her boyfriend, Tommy Wallace, during a family dinner, Sadie openly denounces her employers as snobby and insensitive. Sadie then flees to New York City with Tommy, who was fired from his job in the Alderson factory for alleged cheating. Nearly broke, Sadie and Tommy are befriended in New York by Opal, a hardened club performer, who takes them to her boardinghouse. The next morning, Sadie leaves the boardinghouse to look for a job but makes plans with Tommy to meet at the marriage license bureau at noon. Soon after she leaves, however, neighbor Dolly Merrick hears Tommy singing in the bathroom and seduces him into joining her traveling club act, which is leaving town that morning. Heartbroken and embittered by Tommy's desertion, Sadie struggles to find reputable employment but eventually joins Opal as a dancer in a nightclub. Ten days later, Jack Brennan, a jovial, rich alcoholic, helps Sadie handle an abusive customer and then demands that she sit at his table, which he is sharing with a friend—Michael Alderson. Still angry at Michael, Sadie ignores his speech to leave his intoxicated companion alone and goes home with Brennan that evening. Soon after, Sadie marries the adoring Brennan and, while enjoying her newfound wealth, does her best to handle his constant drunkenness. Then one afternoon, Sadie, who has been following Tommy's crooning career, goes to see him performing with Dolly at the Apollo Theater and is thrilled by the loving looks he throws her during his number. However, when Sadie returns home that evening, she learns from Michael and the family physician that unless Brennan stops drinking, he will die within six months. Sobered by the diagnosis, Sadie sacrifices her chance to reunite with Tommy and, after rallying the servants to her side, imprisons her husband in his house and forces him to quit drinking. Later Sadie goes with Michael and the now recovered Brennan to the club where she used to dance and is startled to see Dolly there performing without Tommy. After she confronts Dolly and finds out that Tommy was dumped in New Orleans, Sadie confesses to Brennan that she is in love with another man and wants a divorce. The understanding Brennan grants Sadie her request, and Michael, anxious to win her forgiveness, undertakes to find Tommy. Michael eventually locates Tommy in the city and deduces that he is suffering from tuberculosis. Aided by Michael, Tommy is admitted to a hospital. By the time Sadie is allowed to see him, Tommy's condition has suddenly worsened, and he dies after telling her that it was Michael who had helped him. Four months later, Michael celebrates his birthday with Sadie and her mother, and looks into Sadie's forgiving eyes before making his birthday wish.

Transgender advocates seek new diagnostic terms
SAN FRANCISCO — Does a woman who strongly believes she was meant to be a man have a mental condition or a medical problem? Is a man who cross-dresses in need of psychological help? What about a boy who pretends to be a girl in make-believe games and chooses only female playmates?
The nation's psychiatric establishment is wrestling with these questions, among others, as it works to overhaul its diagnostic manual for the first time in almost two decades. Advocates have spent years lobbying the American Psychiatric Association to rewrite or even remove the categories typically used to diagnose transgender people, arguing that terms like Gender Identity Disorder and Transvestic Fetishism promote discrimination by broad-brushing a diverse population with the stigma of mental illness.
"The label of mental defectiveness really places a burden on trans people to continually prove our competence in our affirmed roles," Kelley Winters, a Colorado scholar who has helped lead the push for changes, said.
Although the association's new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is not scheduled to be printed until the end of the year, the updates are taking shape after three rounds of proposed changes. Professionals who have been part of or closely observing the amendment process say the latest wording, while not going as far as many advocates wanted, respects the broader shift in society's understanding and acceptance of what it means to be transgender since the last major revision of the manual was published in 1994.
"All psychiatric diagnoses occur within a cultural context," New York psychiatrist Jack Drescher, a member of the APA subcommittee working on the issue, said. "We know there is a whole community of people out there who are not seeking medical attention and live between the two binary categories (of male and female.) We wanted to send the message that the therapist's job isn't to pathologize."
The most symbolic change under consideration so far for the manual's fifth edition, known as the DSM-V for short, is a new name for Gender Identity Disorder, the diagnosis now given to adults, adolescents and children with "a strong and persistent cross-gender identification." In the manual's next incarnation, individuals displaying "a marked incongruence between one's experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender" would be diagnosed instead with "Gender Dysphoria," a term that comes from the Greek word for emotional distress.
While the shift may seem purely semantic, switching the emphasis from a disorder that by definition all transgender people possess to a temporary mental state that only some might possess marks real progress, according to Dana Beyer, a retired eye surgeon who helped the Washington Psychiatric Society make recommendations for the chapter on "Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders."
"A right-winger can't go out and say all trans people are mentally ill because if you are not dysphoric, that can't be diagnosed from afar," Beyer said. "It no longer matters what your body looks like, what you want to do to it, all of that is irrelevant as far as the APA goes."
Persuading the psychiatric profession to redefine who and who does not qualify for its care has historical precedent as a civil rights issue. In 1973, the APA, responding to pressure from the gay and lesbian community, concluded that same-sex attraction alone was a normal part of human experience, not an illness.
Although it took another 14 years for all conditions related to homosexuality to be lifted from the DSM, the earlier shift is regarded as a major milestone in the gay rights movement, one that paved the way for gays to adopt children, get married and serve in the military.
Like gay men and lesbians before them, transgender people have seen the APA's language cited to their disadvantage. Dan Karasic, a San Francisco psychiatrist who has offered suggested changes to the DSM-V through his affiliation with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, cited a Utah case in which he has been asked to prepare expert witness testimony involving a transgender woman who is at risk of losing the children she fathered before her transition.
"The argument is that one criteria for terminating parental rights is if one parent has a severe, chronic mental illness that might be harmful to the child," Karasic said. "A lawyer is apparently using that to argue that because the person is trans and has a diagnosis of GID, she should have her parental rights terminated."
But while there are parallels, achieving what the APA did for gays four decades ago is more complicated for people who identity as transgender, an umbrella term that encompasses transsexuals, cross-dressers and others whose self-concepts otherwise do not align with the male or female label they were given at birth. Unlike sexual orientation, the accepted protocols for treating many patients expressing profound discomfort with their given gender call for medical intervention.
Since at least the 1980s, for example, a diagnosis of Transsexualism or Gender Identity Disorder has been used by doctors, mental health professionals and a growing number of health insurers to justify access to hormones or surgery for patients who decide to physically transition to a new sex. Eliminating it from the DSM-V therefore could make it more difficult for self-identified transsexuals to qualify for treatment unless a sex change is someday recognized as a physiological condition.
"Let's say someone born a woman walks into my surgical office and says, 'I would like my breasts removed.' What's the diagnosis?" Drescher said. "The procedure is a mastectomy, but if there is no diagnosis, it is cosmetic surgery and your insurance won't pay for it."

The Orpheum Theatre: 'The Grand Old Lady of Granville Street'
Igor I. Solar
Nov 9, 2012 in
By Igor I. Solar.
- On November 8, the Orpheum Theatre celebrated its 85th anniversary as one of the City of Vancouver's most important cultural and performance venues and a highly valued historical place for Vancouver citizens.
Also known as the "Grand Old Lady of Granville Street" because of its location, age and splendour, the City of Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre opened its doors and had the first performance on November 7, 1927, but the official opening took place the next day. At the time of its inauguration, the Orpheum Theatre became Vancouver's largest vaudeville house, providing
a mix of live and movie entertainment
The Orpheum was designed by architect
Benjamin Marcus Priteca
. Priteca was born in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1909, he came to Montreal, but his final destination was the United States. Priteca lived in Seattle where he died of cancer in 1971, at the age of 81. During his long career, the prestigious architect designed dozens of entertainment halls in the main cities of California, Oregon and Washington states. He also designed theatres in Memphis, Kansas City, Fort Worth and Salt Lake City. In 1926, he was in Vancouver to review the bids submitted by local construction firms for the construction of The Orpheum.
Igor I. Solar
The Orpheum Theatre, Vancouver, British Columbia.
At the time of its opening, the splendidly ornamented hall was
the biggest theatre in Canada
with 3,000 seats. Several costly paintings and hangings were purchased in Europe, and a gigantic chandelier was imported from Czechoslovakia. Priteca referred to the elaborate style of the theatre as "conservative Spanish Renaissance". Two other theaters designed by Priteca in Vancouver, the historic
Pantages Theaters
number 1 and 2, were demolished in 2011 and 1967, respectively. Thus,
the Orpheum
is the only surviving Canadian theatre designed by Priteca. Currently the theatre
seats 2,688 patrons

In 1979, the Orpheum Theatre was designated a National Historic Site of Canada. The outstanding theatre, one of North America's finest concert halls, is home to the
Vancouver Symphony Orchestra
, the
Vancouver Bach Choir
, the
Vancouver Chamber Choir
and the Vancouver Cantata Singers.
The next performance taking place at the Orpheum Theatre will be Mozart's
"Great Mass in C minor"
on 10 and 12 of Nov., 2012. Maestro
Bramwell Tovey
will conduct the
Vancouver Symphony Orchestra
, the Vancouver Bach Choir and four notable vocal soloists on the interpretation of one of Mozart's most sublime and magnificent choral masterpieces.

Russ - I think we agree INTC shares are undervalued. Why would you prefer utilizing equity rather than debt? Intel has shown it can borrow pretty cheaply, and it has a small net cash position right now, so it could afford to do so.
Also not convinced that INTC would do so here - why wouldn't they have done so last year at $10? -

Again, if there was a silver bullet, everyone would be using it. Many of the concepts in the book are brilliant and I strongly believe reading The Outsiders has made me a better investor and manager. That being said, there's a reason sequels are never as good as the originals. Be a student, not a copycat. -

1) Contrarianism is often helpful but should never be engaged in for its own sake. The book provides many strong examples of how a contrarian mindset can be helpful; when others were selling, the outsider CEOs were buying, and vice versa. Buffett's borderline-overused quote about fear and greed comes to mind. However, I think it's important to realize that the value in straying from the herd comes from having a central "strategic insight" as the author refers to it at several times. Otherwise, you're just being disagreeable for its own sake.
Most investors and people in the finance industry tend to be somewhat smart and well-educated. This doesn't make markets efficient, in fact, I'd say they're far from. But it usually means that inefficiencies have some specific reason - a specific characteristic of the security or industry or company that is poorly understood or poorly interpreted. There could be others. From an investor's point of view, it also means that there are not very many "obvious" investments - meaning there are not very many well-known large companies growing at double digits with a pristine balance sheet and a single-digit valuation multiple. If there were, we could all quit and go home. Companies that make good investments are usually missing one or more of these characteristics.
Sometimes the crowd is smart. If you're on the highway and you notice that everyone in your lane is trying to merge into the next lane, it might be a decent bet that there's an accident up ahead, or perhaps the lane just ends. In this case, being contrarian might lead to you running into a brick wall headfirst. But sometimes the crowd is stupid. If you have a specific strategic insight - ie, "people are merging out of this lane because it says it's exit-only, but I live here and I know there's actually a mile before this lane ends" - then you have reason to be contrarian.
All that to say, if a lot of smart people think X is true, and X represents consensus, then there's probably a good chance X is true. This is why markets tend towards efficiency over time; at any given time, many stocks will be somewhat overvalued or undervalued, but very few are drastically misvalued (say 40-50% or more). However, X is often not true. If you disagree with X for the sake of disagreeing with X, you'll probably bat less than .500. If, however, you engage in analysis of situations where you have a theory that X may be wrong, and you treat X as a neutral hypothesis - ie, you don't go in trying to prove or disprove X, just trying to collect information about it and determine whether the truth lies above or below X on the value scale - then you have a good chance of making value-accretive capital allocation decisions.
One-line summary: contrarianism can be profitable, but only when based on specific strategic insights. -

From a manager's perspective, a prudent amount of leverage is good; there's been some academic work done on the "ideal" amount of leverage, I think, but I can't claim to have read it. However, as a shareholder, having leverage already in the capital structure means that there will be less opportunity to add leverage going forward, hence the general preference for companies that do not have much debt in their capital structure (and therefore have the flexibility to add it).
I don't feel comfortable with relying on some specific magic ratio, whether it be debt/equity or interest coverage or debt-to-EBITDA. I think it should be viewed on a sliding scale. Coke, which has relatively inelastic demand for its products, can afford to take on more leverage than a highly cyclical company. Beyond that and other similar generalizations, I think sensitivity analysis might be a useful tool - imagine the worst-case scenario, then imagine it gets worse than that. Is the debt too high then? Does the company run the risk of insolvency? If the answer is no, then it's probably not "too much debt" for me to consider looking at it, though all other things being equal, firms that are cash-rich are preferable than firms that are highly indebted. -

Intel Investors Should Demand A Refund [View article]
Look at experts' analysis of their newest SoCs and modems vs. the competition, and then look at Intel's history of eventually dominating most markets it enters, and then look at Intel's substantial process advantage over LITERALLY every other semiconductor company in existence. If they're true to roadmap, they'll have real 10nm finfets when everyone else has pseudo-16 (Ashraf has more useful observations on this). Hermann Eul pointed out that Broxton will be the chip after which the rest of the industry likely won't be able to compete on a pure perf/watt basis; they'll also have a substantial cost advantage thanks to die size. -
Intel Investors Should Demand A Refund [View article]
Intel's revenue and GM in 2014 are artificially depressed on a GAAP basis by contra revenue and non-recurring engineering charges that are required investments to literally buy their way into a new market. This is obvious to any half-decent financial analyst; Mason Hawkins from SAM discussed this topic re: Dell in the summer. (For some manager math, see here: http://seekingalpha.co...)
That's the obvious hit, but it's also worth noting that Intel has multiple segments running at a loss as they pour substantially above-historical R&D into new areas. I'm more and more leaning towards the idea that R&D expenditures for tech companies should be capitalized rather than reported as period costs. If you strip these "growth" segments out, the profitability of PCCG and DCG is nothing short of stunning relative to the valuation of the company. The way I look at it, when you buy INTC shares, you're buying DCG (which is growing operating income at 15%+/yr) and a cash cow in PCCG, and getting all the growth opportunities for free. Yet Intel is penalized for investing in these growth segments; their true earnings power both now and in the future is substantially above what GAAP suggests.
But I guess you only get rewarded for investing in your business if you don't manage to generate any cash flow while doing it, and promise (a la George RR Martin) that it's "coming" very soon... next year... and the year after that.
Worth noting as well: INTC is being pretty conservative on the PC market; I don't think they want a repeat of 2012 or 2013. Given their commentary about what they're doing to steal share from AMD in the value space, as well as recent data suggesting the market is stabilizing and an enterprise refresh may occur, they could pretty easily beat GAAP guidance. And of course, GAAP isn't how you should look at any business if you're an investor. -

DeLorme InReach SE: Let Your Fingers do the Talking
Texting from the middle of the ocean? Check.
Ten years ago, while cruising down to the Dominican Republic, I was tapping away on my PocketMail (remember those?) getting emails ready for the next time we happened to come across a pay phone, and I remember thinking, "How cool would it be if I could just send messages from anywhere?"
Well, call me a visionary, because with the DeLorme InReach SE, you can do just that. The InReach SE (for Screen Edition) can send and receive 160-character text messages (and post to social media… of course) with GPS coordinates from pretty much anywhere using the Iridium satellite network. You can also use the InReach SE to alert rescue authorities if you need help, and even have a back-and-forth text conversation with them.
The SE is waterproof, dustproof, and impact resistant, and features a color screen and virtual keyboard. The LED status light makes it easy to know if you have satellite reception, and the rechargeable battery is long lasting. All in all, this is a pretty cool little device—glad I thought of it! Check out the DeLorme site for more info.

4 Modern Houseboat Designs — The Interior Collective
I've seen beautiful homes situated near oceans, lakes and rivers – those kinds of locations lend themselves to the affluent. So it's no surprise when you see a well designed home with a water view. But when I think of houseboats, I have always tended to picture more egalitarian abodes. These examples leave behind any preconceptions about what's possible when it comes to homes that actually float on water.– See the whole post at The Interior Collective.
The Off-Screen Work of On-Screen Designers — The Interior Collective
If you're like me and enjoy watching interior design television, you probably have some favorites. Those designers seem to make some of the worst spaces look amazing, but I often wonder what kinds of things they get into when working outside the framework of television design.– See the whole post at The Interior Collective.

The horse does not 'want to' run/hollow/try to fool you/etc. The reactions in the horse are caused by the actions set up by the rider. If the rider keeps light inside flexion they will have a steadier contact, which aids in bit acceptance (roundness). And in turn inside flexion (ie seeing the inside eyelashes) also gives control of the tempo from the outside rein connection which is developed from the previous.
Work in walk, do circles there, get better bit acceptance, then in trot/etc.

Today's Horoscope by Rick Levine
Saturday, Dec 29th, 2012
It's difficult to make up our minds today because intense emotions are pulling us in different directions. On one hand, the nurturing Cancer Moon motivates us to draw our energy inward to focus on home and family. On the other hand, an exuberant Sun-Jupiter quincunx encourages us to question old assumptions that limit our expression. Meanwhile, we can feel the powerful rumblings of tomorrow's Sun-Pluto conjunction. Love, not fear, will lead us to success.

Those of the profession who have personally undergone what, in the vernacular of our trade, is termed a "cystoscopic examination," appreciate that, like the holy bonds of matrimony, it is not something to be undertaken lightly. The question is too frequently asked "Can my patient stand a cystoscopic examination?" because it is not appreciated that when such an examination is made by a trained, skilful and experienced operator, even as an office procedure, it can give valuable information obtainable in no other way and without serious discomfort or untoward aftermath. If attempted by the untrained and heavy handed, the after-effects may be slow in disappearing and the experience long remembered with horror. The narratives of patients who have undergone this modern form of torture are so distressing that after a "referring doctor" has listened to one or two he naturally becomes reluctant to subject others to such an examination unless

G.AMENDMENT XVII (1913)The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies; Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct. This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution. The Framers of the Constitution specified in Article I, Section 3 that United States Senators should be chosen by each State legislature, two for each State, while members of the House of Representatives should be chosen by popular election from congressional districts. The main purpose of this method of indirect election of Senators was to give each State, no matter how small its population, a voice in the Congress. In effect, each State's two Senators thus represented the State itself, rather than the voters in particular districts; and they represented their State in the sense that each State was a sovereign political body, not simply an aggregation of voters. Senator Daniel Webster represented Massachusetts as a commonwealth with a culture of its own and interests of its own. Senator John C. Calhoun represented the proud State of South Carolina in Washington—not merely a constituency of rural voters. Sometimes it may be necessary for a public man to sacrifice himself for the people, Calhoun said on one occasion, but never to the people. Senators were delegates or symbols of their States, so to speak; and often the State legislatures, aware of senatorial dignity, chose some remarkable men as their United States Senators—at least for the first half-century of the Republic. Senators, it was thought, would exercise a moderating influence on the popularly based House of Representatives. The Framers expected State legislatures, made up for the most part of experienced politicians, to be able to choose distinguished Senators better than could average citizens. Presumably the legislatures of the several States would tend to select senatorial candidates of superior mind, character, and education; often the Senators so chosen would also be men of some wealth—which the Framers considered all to the good. And in truth, especially in the early Republic, the Senate at Washington was a gathering of men of unusual talent and strength of character, somewhat comparable to the body of men who had been delegates to the Great Convention of 1787. But societies change. As the franchise was enlarged in every State, the American people looked with increasing suspicion upon the indirect election of Senators. Gradually, in many States, the legislatures yielded to popular pressure, and members of those bodies pledged themselves at the time of their own election, or on some other occasion, to vote for some particular candidate for the United States Senate when the State legislature chose the next Senator. This was the process that had converted the Electors of the Electoral College into mere registrars of the popular choice for the Presidency. In theory, then, United States Senators still were chosen by legislatures. But in reality, State legislators voted for senatorial candidates quite as their constituents told them to vote. When the Senate finally capitulated in 1912, the voters in some twenty-nine States had already obtained the right to indicate their preferences for Senator in the party primaries—and State legislatures invariably followed the wishes of the voters. Like the Sixteenth Amendment, the Seventeenth grew out of the Populist and Progressive revolt of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Generally favoring more democracy in every aspect of political life, State as well as Federal, the Populists and Progressives launched major political reform efforts, particularly in the Deep South and west of the Mississippi River, to reduce the political and economic power of America's burgeoning class of plutocrats—men of humble origin, often, who had become wealthy almost overnight as a result of the industrial revolution and exerted a powerful influence in State governments. In the legendary stories of Horatio Alger, they were America's heroes, symbols of the American success story—immigrants, perhaps, who through self-sacrifice and hard work had risen to the top. To the Populists and Progressives, however, they were often the proverbial business tycoons—greedy capitalists, they charged, who engaged in monopolistic practices to maximize their wealth and used their wealth to buy votes in legislative bodies, courts of law, and governors' mansions. The restructuring of State Constitutions throughout the country at this time—for the purpose of circumventing State legislatures through the initiative and referendum devices, and controlling the courts through the election or recall of judges—was the fruit of their labor. Whereas the Sixteenth Amendment promised to limit the wealth and economic power of these millionaire industrialists, the Seventeenth was premised on the assumption that the direct election of Senators would limit their political influence. Many Senators were millionaires themselves, and many more, it was generally believed, were obligated to special economic interests. The wealthy might bribe State legislators but they could not bribe the entire electorate. The direct election of Senators, thought the Populists and Progressives, would cure the evils of Big Business, giant trusts, and corporate monopolies. Buttressed by the Sixteenth Amendment, the Seventeenth might then prepare the way for breaking up great concentrations of wealth and, hoped some of the more radical Populists, lead to a redistribution of wealth. But some argue that no conspicuous improvement in the talents and character of members of the Senate seems to have been the result of this Amendment. One prominent public leader of recent decades, Eugene McCarthy—United States Senator from Minnesota for two terms—remarks in his book Frontiers of American Democracy that the Seventeenth Amendment did harm to the quality of the United States Senate. A principal reason for this is the fact that although a Representative in the House has to please only his constituents in his district, a United States Senator must campaign statewide—and wander about his State fairly frequently, if he wishes to remain in office. Much of his time is wasted in perpetual campaigning. Besides, the campaign expenditures of a senatorial candidate, both in the primary and in the regular election, usually are gigantic; this money must be found somewhere; so either a candidate's family must be very wealthy, and have wealthy friends, or else the candidate may find it necessary to make promises to special interests, or voting blocs that he cannot fulfill or ought not to fulfill. It is noteworthy that most Senators today are very well-to-do, and many are multimillionaires. The task of courting an immense State-wide electorate may invite as much corruption as courting a small body of State legislators ever did. However that may be, nowadays the principal distinction between members of the House of Representatives and members of the Senate is that Senators hold office for six years, and Representatives for merely two. The longer term tends to give Senators greater independence of decision, at least during the earlier years of the six-year term, so enabling them to be something better than mere delegates to Washington. The Seventeenth Amendment supersedes Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution. As a result, members of the United States Senate have ceased to speak for, represent, or be responsible to the State legislatures. That the change enlarged the influence of the voters and weakened that of federalism is abundantly clear. |
