Gordon Campbell on the latest TPP leaks, and our shabby treatment of asylum seekers
December 10th, 2013Even before this week's leaks via Wikileaks about the current state of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks, there were signs the deal was in trouble. As Werewolf has been reporting for months, precious little progress was being made on this deal despite (a) all the money lavished on it, (b) the many, many rounds of ministerial meetings and (c) all the empty claims that "significant progress" was being made, which has been an amusing cliché for years now. Then came the revelation in late August by the Chilean chief negotiator Alvaro Jana that only a quarter of the deal (i.e. all the easy administrative bits) had been completed, and that little or no progress had been made in the main TPP chapters still in contention. (i.e. Everything else.) This should have been a wake-up call. But no, the TPP apologists have kept insisting that the deal was in the end game, and that a year's end 2013 conclusion was still a realistic prospect. At the same time, we've heard a few rehearsals of the fall back position – that it would be better to take a bit longer and get a good deal, than to try and rush the process. Hah. If only. At this rate, an all-in, all issues quality deal won't happen until about 2035. Read the rest of this entry »

Teamwork key in string of busts
Posted at: 09/23/2013 9:54 PM
By: Caleb James, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Authorities seem to be on a roll in the metro area.
In just the last week, KOB Eyewitness News 4 has shown you gang arrests, child predator arrests, and a big drug bust.
There's something all the operations have in common, and that one thing is getting the credit Monday night for helping to keep us all safer.
It might sound simple, but time and time again teamwork is underestimated...
APD, the Bernalillo and Valencia County sheriff's offices - even the Motor Transport Police - all had a hand in helping federal law enforcement make three big busts in the last week, and the feds call that teamwork their secret ingredient.
Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge Kevin Abar appeared on KOB twice on Monday. First, to talk about a major marijuana bust on I-40, and a task force snatching 70 online predators searching for sex with children online. Both operations went down in the Albuquerque metro -- both baked with the same special ingredient.
"This is a collaborative effort where we all bring our authorities together and really make a difference here in New Mexico," said Abar.
On the highway, cops and feds seized 250 pounds of weed, together with help from Motor Transport Police.
"They're out there to enforce the safety regulations and of course the criminal laws on New Mexico," said Abar.
Abar says, without the very specific expertise of each law enforcement group, busts may be far fewer, and certainly not as far reaching.
Two Fridays ago, Valencia County asked Homeland Security to assist on a felony warrant roundup.
The agencies worked together, arresting a handful of people, and ended up arresting one guy with two outstanding warrants from 2005 and 2007.

It's been a year since Mike Gallo started Technical Employment Training Inc., which prepares job-seekers and career-changers to operate expensive manufacturing machinery.
About 12 months later, the entrepreneur can boast that he's helped put 51 people to work in jobs he said average $13.65 an hour to start.
Gallo, CEO and president of San Bernardino-based Kelly Space & Technology Inc. and a candidate for a San Bernardino City Unified School District seat, celebrated his nonprofit school's first birthday on Thursday evening.
Gathered at the training center's shop, alongside the rows of machines, were business and elected leaders including Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Redlands, San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris and county Supervisor Josie Gonzales.
The school has contracts with San Bernardino County's Workforce Investment Board, the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies that receive grants to cover the costs of training out-of-work residents.
Of the 43 students who graduated in January, 36 have found jobs and two have gone back to school. In July, another 27 students graduated and 15 have secured jobs, school officials said.
When Mike Jensen gets calls from manufacturers who have purchased his company's Haas Factory Outlet machines, he sends them to the trade school. Haas is a school sponsor and has provided equipment at a discount.
"We're selling a lot of machines, so people need to run those machines," he said.
Emily Sturum, 28, an employee at Burlington Coat Factory's distribution center, was looking for a new career making animatronic robots for theme parks when she walked into the school.
A rarity among students because she wasn't attending the school because of a government grant, Sturum said she's paying more than $7,500 for the six-month program in exchange for a guarantee of a job at the end.
She said staff has sent her résumé out, letting companies know she will be trained and ready in six months.
Recently, the school partnered with the San Bernardino Community College District to offer its first forklift training to 24 students. It also has become a satellite campus for Cal State Dominguez Hills, offering Occupational Safety & Health Administration certification.
The 10,000-square-foot nondescript building at San Bernardino International Airport once was the Norton Air Force Base exchange, where airmen shopped. The nonprofit invested $400,000 to convert the space to a machine shop with shiny, painted floors and rows of highly technical equipment to craft metal parts and accessories, Gallo said.
Joseph Quattrochi Jr., who lost his leg to a diabetic infection, came to the school to learn the latest in manufacturing technology. He earned a certification and walked away with a prosthetic leg that he and his classmates crafted.
"We have taken people with no skills and given them careers," said Bill Clarke, who started the school with Gallo and is vice president of operations and training.
Clarke spoke with an evangelical spirit when talking about what the school's programs were doing to put people in skilled jobs.
"It takes a team to change America," he said.

"The document ignores PacifiCorp empirical data clearly demonstrating that the hydroelectric project serves as a nutrient and temperature sump so that river water below Irongate dam is actually cleaner and cooler than river water above J.C. Boyle dam." From: email@example.com To: firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: 10/2/2009 1:05:53 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time Subj: E-Newsletter Update from Senator Whitsett DRAFT KLAMATH HYROELECTRIC SETTLEMENTAGREEMENT Another Draft of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement was released September 30th. After only a cursory reading, it appears that this agreement does not differ from the previous Agreement in Principle in material matters such as cost, liability, water quality and salmon predation and health issues. Even though all credible cost estimates for dam removal exceed $450 million, this document caps state and ratepayer cost liability at $450 million and flatly denies any federal cost responsibility. The document appears to continue to deny environmental liability responsibility by any participant including the states, PacifiCorp and the federal government, although irrigation interests are saliently not exempted. The document ignores PacifiCorp empirical data clearly demonstrating that the hydroelectric project serves as a nutrient and temperature sump so that river water below Irongate dam is actually cleaner and cooler than river water above J.C. Boyle dam. Also the participants continue to refuse to quantify the perpetual cost of replacing the carbon free electricity generated by the dams with the alternative sources of renewable power called for in the agreement. Replacing the loss of the unique peaking function provided by these hydroelectric dams is ignored as well. We should all look forward to the opportunity to participate in public comment and to ask informed questions regarding this flawed proposal. STATE GOVERNMENTS COMMITTEE ON RIVER GOVERNANCE Two weeks ago I traveled to Spokane Washington to attend the Council of State Governments Committee on River Governance. The Committee is composed of sixteen Legislators, four appointed from each of the four Northwest States located in the Columbia River Basin. The potential decommissioning and destruction of the four Lower Snake River Dams owned by the Army Corp of Engineers is of great concern to the Committee. The Federal Columbia River Power System is the largest source of electricity in the Pacific Northwest, and the largest source of renewable electricity in the United States. The four Lower Snake River dams have the capacity to generate nearly 3,100 megawatts of electricity. Under emergency conditions, for several hours they can produce nearly 3,500 megawatts. This capacity is nearly six times the capacity of the huge coal fired plant located at Boardman. The Agreement in Principle to decommission, and destroy, the four PacifiCorp dams on the Klamath River was discussed by the committee members as a dangerous omen, a forerunner of the possible fate of these critical Columbia River sources of Northwest power. The River Governance Committee is concerned that the same methods are being applied to force removal of the Lower Snake River dams that are being applied to force PacifiCorp to contemplate abandoning their four dams on the Klamath River. These methods include increasing the cost on environmental compliance, increasing the cost of water quality compliance, increasing the cost of endangered species compliance, increasing the cost of fish passage compliance, and decreasing the volume of water that is allowed to be used for power generation. At some point the artificially escalated costs exceed the reduced benefits of generation rendering the dams an economic liability. The Northwest Power Council estimates that replacing the four Snake River dams'Äô generation capacity with Natural gas fired generation would result in increased cost of $500 million each year. That estimated cost is $500 million above and beyond the current $38 million annual operating cost for the four dams that is already significantly increased by compliance with environmental, water quality, and fish passage regulations. That cost estimate soars to $850 million per year in the event that the hydropower generation capacity were to be replaced with other sources of renewable power generation and conservation measures. Hydropower is a renewable resource that produces virtually no greenhouse gas emissions. The Council estimates that replacing that greenhouse gas-free hydropower generation, with the cleanest natural gas fired plants, would increase the production of carbon dioxide by 4.4 million metric tons each year. The Northwest Power Council states that 'Äúdiscarding existing carbon dioxide free power sources has to be considered counterproductive'Ä. The Bonneville Power Administration is scheduled to have about 3,000 megawatts of wind power generation on line by the end of this year. Wind power generation is variable. It must be backed up by either hydropower or thermal generation plants, megawatt for megawatt. For instance, during the very cold ten day period just after Christmas 2008, the wind simply stopped blowing throughout the Columbia River Basin. Wind generation actually flat lined for ten consecutive days. Hydropower from the Snake River dams was essential in filling this sudden prolonged hole in the BPA generation and transmission capacity. The Northwest Power Council stated that no other source of generation capacity was available to prevent blackouts during that extremely cold period. In fact, hydropower generation is essential to keep the system in balance because of the constant fluctuations in wind power generation. Hydropower generation can be ramped up, or down, in seconds. Thermal plants may take hours, or even days, to be either brought online or shut down. The Columbia River Automatic Generation Control System interconnects the entire transmission grid, to instantaneously keep a balanced generation capacity online. The system is capable of offsetting the sudden, even catastrophic, shutdown of major generation resources. The four Lower Snake River dams are critical components of this Automatic Generation Control System. Also, the Snake River dams provide necessary voltage regulation on the long transmission lines that run from Western Montana to Eastern Washington. Decommissioning and removal of the dams would require replacement of that generation capacity. That generation capacity would have to be located in the same general vicinity as the dams in order to maintain the function of those transmission lines. Obviously, the increased costs of environmental compliance, as well as the costs of replacement generation capacity, are always passed on to the utility ratepayers, in the form of higher rates paid at the meter. The Public Utility Commission is directed to allow the utilities to set their rates to provide sufficient funds to offset the utility'Äôs prudently incurred costs plus a modest profit. Virtually any act that the utility is forced to do perform by government mandates is considered to be a prudently incurred cost. About one third of the current BPA ratepayers'Äô monthly bills reflect the cost of compliance with these environmental, fish passage, water quality and endangered species regulations! Those higher costs already total more than one billion dollars each year on the Columbia River System. The Northwest Power Council estimates that breaching the lower Snake River Dams will add between $500 million and $850 million more to that annual cost. The bipartisan Committee on River Governance members are from Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. We are virtually unanimous in our concern for the precedent being established on the Klamath River. One would need to be blind not to see that the methods being applied to devalue the dams owned by Corp of Engineers on the Snake River are the same methods that are being applied to the PacifiCorp owned dams on the Klamath River. The Committee clearly understands that the Biological Opinions being applied to devalue the dams on the Snake River will likely have the same outcome. That outcome will be decommissioning of the lower Snake River dams and sharply increased power rates for BPA ratepayers. THE CLEAN WATER RESTORATION ACT SENATE BILL 787 The 1972 Clean Water Act established federal government control over the navigable waters of the United States. The Act'Äôs enormous expansion of federal authority was deemed to be constitutional because it was restricted to navigable waters that are considered to be under the authority of the Commerce Clause of the U. S. Constitution. Rules established by the Army Corp of Engineers, and the Environmental Protection Agency, in 1986, 1988, and 2001, expanded the authority of the Clean Water Act to include virtually all of the waters of the United States. The United States Supreme Court decided in the 2001, and again in 2006, that important sections of these rules actually expanded the Clean Water Act regulatory powers beyond that which was authorized by Congress. The Clean Water Restoration Act, now before Congress, seeks to overturn those United States Supreme Court decisions. The stated purpose of the Clean Water Restoration Act is to reaffirm the original intent of Congress to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Waters of the United States, and to clearly define the waters of the United States as those features that were identified in the Corp of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency rulemaking. Rules must be authorized by laws and therefore cannot exceed their statutory authority. Never the less, the supporters of Senate Bill 787 are declaring that in spite of the Supreme Court decisions, the rulemaking by the EPA and the Corp of Engineers was indeed just what Congress had in mind in 1972. Senate Bill 787 would amend the Clean Water Act to replace the term 'Äúnavigable waters'Ä that are now subject to the Act, with the term 'Äúwaters of the United States'Ä. The proposed Act defines waters of the United States to mean 'Äúall waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tides, the territorial seas, and all interstate and intrastate water and their tributaries, including lakes, rivers, streams. intermittent streams, mudflats, sand flats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes, natural ponds, and all impoundments of the foregoing, to the fullest extent that these waters, or activities affecting them, are subject to the legislative power of Congress under the Constitution'Ä. Obviously, this definition includes virtually every drop of surface water in the entire country. Neither the original Clean Water Act nor the proposed Clean Water Restoration Act, Senate Bill 787, attempts to regulate ground water. However, language in SB 787 addressing hydrological systems could be construed to include connections between ground water and surface water resources. The language of the Act specifically includes intrastate waters, those are waters located entirely within a state, that have neither direct connection to navigable waters nor any bearing on interstate commerce. The language of the Act then attempts to speak into existence nebulous relationships to interstate commerce and to the constitutional 'Äúnecessary and proper clause'Ä. Examples of these relationships include the suggestion that commerce originates with people from out of state that enjoy recreational activities on waters located entirely within a state. It includes the allegation that use of intrastate waters by migratory birds is a form of interstate commerce. Moreover, they consider any alteration of intrastate waters that effects endangered or threatened species to be detrimental to interstate commerce. It states that channelization or filling of intrastate waters could result in flooding, and that flooding could have detrimental effects on interstate commerce. Further, the Act states that protection of all the waters of the United States is a 'Äúnecessary and proper'Ä means of protecting lands owned by the federal government. It also states that protecting the regulating activities affecting the waters of the United States is a 'Äúnecessary and proper'Ä means of enforcing treaties including those protecting species of fish, birds, and other wildlife. These tortured efforts are clearly attempts to create constitutional authority where no constitutional authority exists. In my opinion, the Clean Water Restoration Act would be an unconstitutional infringement on states rights under the Tenth amendment, which declares that 'ÄúThe powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people'Ä. Further, it would be an unconstitutional infringement on individual private property rights under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution which states in part 'Ķ'Änor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation'Ä. Waters of the state belong to the state, and by extension, to the people of the state. The right to own and enjoy private property is the keystone of all our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. The Clean Water Restoration Act, as currently amended and promoted, would create the greatest extinction of state and private property rights in our nation'Äôs history. Its potential devastation to the Western United States is virtually immeasurable. I urge you to contact our congressional delegation today to express your concern and your opposition to Senate bill 787. |

AKRON, Ohio -- Golf, cruel? Really?
When what is called rough is only tall grass? When the pain is psychic? When the hit that hurts the most doesn't come over the middle or in the lane or at the plate, but is delivered by yourself to yourself?
"I've known it's a cruel game for a long time," said Jim Furyk, the come-from-ahead runner-up at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational after a double-bogey 6 on the final hole at Firestone South Sunday.
The worst putt he hit all week was the biggest one. Five feet from the hole, under a mottled sky that had burst with rain early, then filled with sunlight and now didn't know what mood it was in, Furyk needed it to squeeze into a playoff with Keegan Bradley.
Bradley had bellied up to his long putter and buried birdie putts all day -- from 41 feet, 25, 24, 11, 9 and 7. In addition, he made par-savers of 14 feet and, finally, on the 18th green, 15 feet, 8 inches.
Sighted putt, sank same. The last, saving Bradley's par 4, giving him a 31 on the back nine for a final-round 64 and a 13-under-par total of 267, beat Furyk by a stroke.
Furyk stabbed at the ball on the putt he had to have, jerking it wide right, missing the hole entirely. He dropped the putter and bent over, both hands on his knees. His son, Tanner, 9, watching with his sister, Caleigh Lynn, and Furyk's wife, Tabitha, started to cry.
"I was trying to hit it on the firm side, but I pushed it really bad, never gave it a chance. It was a very quick stroke," Furyk said.
Just that quickly, he was done. He made the come-backer for his double bogey in a daze. Dead man holing out. He had shot a good score, 69, with a double bogey.
The three opening birdies in the final round didn't matter. The solid ball striking and course management all day didn't matter. He had led after each of the first three rounds, led from wire to lean-at-the-wire, and he had lost on the 72nd hole.
"I had a lot of control of the golf ball today. Didn't hit in the rough hardly at all," Furyk said.
He hit it in the rough when he couldn't afford to, though. Behind a greenside bunker on 18, out of a downhill lie, Furyk hit the one shot which, even more than the missed putt, he would like to have back.
"If you hit down through that [lie], you're going to catch it high on the blade. To try to keep from doing so, I tried to sweep it out, and I got too steep, got the ball real high on the face," Furyk said.
The ball had nothing on it, barely clearing the bunker. Then it went to ground in more rough.
"If I hit it solid, it rolls down to where Keegan's ball was, and we have a putting contest," Furyk said. "If I make, I win. If I miss, we have a playoff."
He had already survived one such putting contest, stroking an 18-footer into the cup on 16 for a birdie and making Bradley match it with an 11-footer.
Not this time.
Furyk slashed the ball out on his fourth shot and nearly hit it twice, as the thick, wet grass clung to the clubface.
"A hard ball to get close. I had a really awful lie," Furyk said.
Said Bradley, with the loyalty of one PGA Tour pro to another: "I don't think Jim collapsed at all. I went out and played a very good round."
Furyk bogeyed two of the final three holes to fall out of a tie at the U.S. Open at Olympic in San Francisco in June. The two stumbles in one summer were too much for him. He wouldn't take the cover Bradley offered.
"When something happens in your life like that, you're working so hard, you're trying too hard, you're pushing too hard, you've worked so hard for it. I have no one to blame but myself, but when things go wrong, it's an empty feeling," Furyk said. "My boy was crying right after the round, and I guess it reminds you, as an adult, as a parent, that you have to act the proper way. You have to do and say the right things to try to give the right lessons."
Bradley has now won his two biggest tournaments -- the PGA Championship last year and the Bridgestone on Sunday -- after the leaders, Cleveland's Jason Dufner, then Furyk, crumbled.
"I'm not dodging it. It is a cruel game. I've lost some tournaments in some pretty poor fashions, but I don't think I've ever let one slip as bad as this one," Furyk said.
"I love everything right now. I love you guys," an ebullient Bradley said in the interview room.
Minutes earlier, Furyk had slipped out the side door with his family. They love him, too.

sambo applecart said:I think in this instance, the club has done the right thing, they have let most of the dust settle with regars what the BU have to say, assessed it, and then made a statement. Done reasonably professionally in this instance imo.
The only reason they dont want an interim board is because they may lose money if any takeover went through.
Look at the RS, all debts paid off, and funds delivered as promised. the only ones that lost out were hicks and gillet.
If a similar situation was promised here, BK would immediately say no, and this right here is/has been the problem.
the owners clearly want to make as much as they can, if they didnt the club would of been sold a long time ago.
Michael Barrymore said:of course elstones gonna say this an interim board means he'd be out of a job
he has no concern for everton just his own skin
I thought the Blue Onion wanted the CEO to do his job?
Can we just get the facts straight about the sale of the club too? It's only when the bank are about to ruin us that we can get a sale like the RS. Remember how close to administration they came? You want that?

text: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that the Union government desist from allowing Sri Lankan army personnel into INdia and that they be sent back to their county immediately. In a letter to the Prime Minister, she said, "The people of Tamil Nadu are frustrated and outraged by this callous and adamant attitude of the Government of India in persistently giving training to personnel belonging to the Sri Lankan Armed Forces in India." "You may recall the Resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly in June, 2011, urging the Government of India to take up with the United Nations Organisation the issue of declaring those found guilty of war crimes as war criminals, and also to initiate action by working with the Nations for the imposition of an economic embargo on the Government of Sri Lanka till the Tamils, who are now living in camps in Sri Lanka, are resettled in their own places and are allowed to live with dignity and with equal Constitutional rights on par with the Sinhalese citizens." "Tamils across the world feel that the sentiments of the Tamils have been trampled on by the Government of India not only by its inaction on this resolution but also by continuing to give preferential treatment by way of providing technical training to defence personnel belonging to Sri Lanka," she said. Jayalalithaa said she was writing the letter as it came to her notice Air Vice Marshal Jegath Julanga Diaz of the Sri Lankan Air Force and Rear Admiral S Ranasinghe of the Sri Lankan Navy, have arrived at Coonoor in Nilgiris District of Tamil Nadu yesterday along with 25 other trainees. They would be visiting the Defence Service Staff College at Wellington today as part of their training programme, she said.

A blaze which badly damaged Livingston Football Club's stadium is being treated as suspicious.
Police are currently investigating the blaze at the turnstiles of Almondvale Stadium, which started early on Monday morning.
Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service were called out to the fire at around 3.10am.
It is believed to have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to turnstiles at the stadium's South Stand.
The incident took place on the same day as the club's fixtures were announced for the forthcoming season.
The team are set to play their first Irn-Bru Scottish Football League First Division game at Morton's home ground on August 11.
They are due to welcome Dundee to Almondvale Stadium on August 18.
A spokesman for Lothian and Borders Police said: "Lothian and Borders Police are investigating a suspicious fire at Almondvale Stadium, Livingston, which started around 3.20am this morning.
"Inquiries are ongoing at the scene, and police are appealing for anyone who may have any information relating to this incident to come forward."

Even the most exhaustively researched historical fashion exhibits can leave you with nagging doubts about their accuracy and questions like: Did anyone ever really dress that way? "Living Fashion: Women's Daily Wear 1750-1950," which opens today at the Mode Museum in Antwerp, Belgium, addresses these doubts by delving more deeply into the relationship between women and fashion, looking at dresses that represent the height of style as well as its middle ground (the modern equivalent might be what comes down the runway versus what's for sale at Zara), garments that could be adapted for multiple purposes and perhaps most interestingly, maternity wear, which has rarely, if ever, appeared in a historical exhibit of this nature. If blog-ready street style existed in Western Europe in the 18th century, it might look like this.
"Living Fashion: Women's Daily Wear 1750-1950″ is on view through Dec. 8. Go to momu.be.

Helping Your Newborn Get Off To A Healthy Start
Congratulations you just had a baby! I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy now and can't wait to hear those words. In the meantime, I'm planning all the ways that I'll be working to help my newborn get off to a healthy start.
Here are my tips** for helping your new baby stay healthy:
1. Breastfeed (or the next best thing): We all know breast is best right? Hopefully you've had a chance to try and breastfeed your newborn and experience the trials but mostly the bonding that goes along with it. Breastmilk is such heads and shoulders above the "competition" for the baby's needs it's hard to quantify. However for some women, I know it's easier said than done, and you may be looking for what the next best thing is for your baby. Did you know that goat's milk is actually the next best thig? Cow's milk formulas are not ideal for really young infants - so see about finding goat's milk formulas (and they are especially great for colicky babies). The next alternative is organic baby formulas, and there are several great brands to try so shop around!
2. Infant Massage: Not only is infant massage a great way to bond with your baby, but it helps relax them and can even help with digestion. The ideal way to learn and practice infant massage is by finding a class in your area. If you can't find any (or if they're too pricey) there are various books and videos available as well. Once you learn, it's an easy technique to do at home, and babies love massage the most right after a warm bath!
3. Chiropractic care: Did you know even newborns can have their spines out of alignment? The birth canal can be a tricky route to manouver, and it's not uncommon for baby's to have their necks and jaws out of alignment. Babies respond very well to gentle adjustments, and even those doctors that practice cranial sacral therapy are experts with infants.
**I'm obviously not a doctor and am not giving medical advise, just sharing my experience as a mom to many!**

Having worked in the equity markets for awhile now, with a primary focus on finding profitable stock-picking strategies, I sometimes feel like the keeper of great stock-picking ideas. But as the holiday season is upon us, I'm in a giving mood -- unlike Scrooge -- and will gift you three great ways to pick stocks. (And no, I wasn't visited by the Ghosts of Markets Past, Present and Future. Although a visit by the ghost of Market Future might be nice. Or maybe scary.) What's especially good about these three methods is that when combined, they complement each other well.
In the previous two articles you'll remember that I discussed the merits of the Research Wizard as an essential stock picking tool for the individual investor to create and test ideas. So today I'm going to give you an example of how to develop a stock-picking strategy within Research Wizard using three components.
First, it's very important to start with a good ranking or rating system. Most of the time, there's a lot of research already committed to a rating, and starting with a good working foundation is a great way for you to save time. Examples of these are broker stock ratings or the Zacks Rank. I'll use the Zacks Rank since it's more comprehensive than broker ratings and also has a great track record for selecting stocks.
Second, look for stocks that the market judges favorably too. Nothing's more frustrating than discovering a great company, but the stock price just doesn't go up. So it's a good idea for the stock to have good price appreciation over the past twelve months. Numerous research studies have shown that winning stocks continue to be profitable in the future. It sounds a little too easy, but it's effective and very persistent in the stock market. Why wouldn't this effect go away if it's so effective? Well, that's why it's called the Momentum Anomaly. Check it out.
Finally, I think it's a great idea to buy things at a bargain or discount. You wouldn't pay more for a comparable holiday gift, so why do it for stocks. So let's add a dash of value by looking for stocks with a low price-to-sales ratio. The P/S ratio is a measure of how much you're paying for each dollar in corporate revenue. Obviously you want to pay as little as possible. For example, if stock A has a P/S ratio of 1 and stock B has a ratio of 2, then you'd pay twice the amount per dollar of sales if you bought stock B instead of stock A.
So at this point, if you read my last article, you're probably thinking: it all sounds good, but how effective is this strategy? Using Research Wizard, I built this strategy and tested it monthly from the beginning of 2000 through the end of October 2011. Over this time frame, the S&P 500 returned a compounded annual return of 0.1%. (So people are right when they say the equity market really hasn't gone anywhere in nearly twelve years!)
However, the strategy I suggested returned a compounded annual return of 16.2%. So while the overall market's wheels were spinning on ice, there were strategies out there that moved forward and were highly profitable. You simply needed to find them. Remember also that if you have a low number of stocks in your portfolio, you're going to have more volatility. For example, the strategy that I outlined contained only 10 stocks and, thus, had 64% more volatility than the S&P 500, with its 500 stocks. In this case, the volatility was worth it.
Here's a method for finding highly rated stocks with good momentum at a reasonable price:
- First, start with only US common stocks.
- Next, create a liquid, investible set of the stocks with the largest 3000 market values and average daily trading volume ≥ to 100,000 shares (if there's not enough liquidity, it'll be hard for you to trade it).
- Add another filter by selecting those stocks with a Zacks Rank = 1. (Let's stick with only the best rated stocks.)
- Select the top 50 stocks with the highest return over the past 52 weeks. (We're looking for stocks with great price momentum over the last year.)
- Select the top 10 stocks with the lowest price-to-sales ratio. (Lower means you want to pay less per unit of company revenue.)
Here are 5 great stocks based on this method (12/23/11):
(AET - Analyst Report) - Aetna Inc.
Aetna, which is a Strong Buy per the Zacks Rank, operates as a diversified health care benefits company in the US. The stock price of this company has been going strong and remains a reasonable value based on its price-to-sales ratio.
(NR - Snapshot Report) - Newpark Resources Inc.
Newpark, which provides fluids management, waste disposal and well site preparation products and services to the oil and gas exploration and production industry, is reporting strong financial results and makes the list due to its solid rating, great price momentum, and good price/sales ratio.
(GCO - Snapshot Report) - Genesco Inc.
The stock price of this retailer has been jumping yet still remains a good value. Genesco, which sells footwear, headwear and sports apparel, has experienced a surge in earnings and profitability in the third quarter.
(PRIM - Snapshot Report) - Primoris Services Corporation
Primoris, a specialty contractor and infrastructure company, provides a range of construction, fabrication, maintenance, replacement and product engineering services. With November's announcement of record quarterly results and new contracts worth close to $200 million, the stock of this company has been flying high and should continue well into 2012.
(HPY - Snapshot Report) - Heartland Payment Systems, Inc.
This business services company provides bankcard payment processing in the US and Canada. The stock of this company is highly ranked, a good value and loved by momentum players.
Now it's your turn to use the Research Wizard yourself to create your own strategies. You'll be a better investor for it and your portfolio returns will illustrate this. Click here to learn more!
Hope you have a safe and profitable holiday season!

Prof Igor Goryanin and his team are working with the Riken Genomic Research Centre in Japan to investigate the effectiveness of breast cancer treatments.
Prof Goryanin is the Henrik Kacser Chair in Computational Systems Biology, Director of the Computational Systems Biology Group and the Edinburgh Centre for Bioinformatics, and Co-Director of the Centre for Systems Biology.
His team are currently involved in several high profile international collaborations with research groups across Europe, China, Japan and the USA.
Recently the team commenced a major five-year project with the internationally respected Riken Genomic Research Centre in Japan.
The project will look at why particular treatments for breast cancer work in some patients and not in others.
It will use advanced computer systems set up at Edinburgh's School of Informatics to run programmes incorporating expertise from cellular biologists in Japan.
The overall project aim is to better understand the make-up of particular drugs and why their effectiveness differs among patients.
It is hoped that the database will be able to narrow down the different types of drugs that should be prescribed to individual patients and what types of combination therapy would have the best outcome.
We hope to further our research and look at other cancers as well as diseases such as heart disease and neural and psychiatric diseases. Identifying which drugs have the best responses in particular patients would not only save lives but would also save the UK NHS money as treatment with expensive drugs can be tailor-made for whom it works.

Tapper Pushes, But Carney Won't Put Distance Between Hoffa and Obama on Civility
While ABC didn't find time for the James Hoffa outburst this morning, ABC reporter Jake Tapper repeatedly engaged White House press secretary Jay Carney on Tuesday on the question of whether Obama felt Hoffa was in the spirit of Obama's January speech in Tucson about the need for civility.
Carney repeatedly backed away from the opportunity to distance the president from Obama (other than lamely claiming he hadn't arrived yet). Carney claimed there's a "ritual in Washington" to press for disavowal, but Obama wasn't present. There's also a "ritual in Washington" where a president doesn't want to upset his liberal/leftist base, which is clearly being observed. Here's a look at the Tapper-Carney exchanges as transcribed by MRC's Scott Whitlock:
JAKE TAPPER: And, lastly, Jay, in January, President Obama said, after the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, "At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized, at a time when we are far too eager to lay all the ills of the world at people who think differently than we do, it's important to pause for a moment to make sure that we are talking to each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds." Did he mean that?
JAY CARNEY: Of course he did.
TAPPER: How does-- How do the comments by the teamster's president fit in with that?
CARNEY: Well, first of all, those weren't comments by the President. The President wasn't there. Secondly, and I think has been reported-
TAPPER: Comments by a union leader at an event that President Obama spoke at.
CARNEY: I understand that there is a ritual in Washington that somebody said something and then you link the associations and then everyone who has an association with him or her somehow has to avow or disavow. The President wasn't there. I mean, he wasn't on stage. He didn't speak for another twenty minutes. He didn't hear it. I really don't have any comment beyond that.
TAPPER: Okay, well, some of us covered the campaign and recall a time when someone made some harsh comments about then-Senator Obama while- during an introduction of a McCain rally and the Obama campaign was offended and expected an apology and Senator McCain came out and did so.
CARNEY: Well- Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself. He speaks for the labor movement, AFL-CIO. The President speaks for himself. I speak for the President. What the President was glad to do yesterday was have the opportunity to present his views on working Americans and the importance of taking measures to help working Americans to create jobs to grow the economy.
TAPPER: So, the President you're setting right now for the 2012 election is the candidates- the Republican candidates are the ones that we need to pay attention to and those who introduce them at rallies, their surrogates, you don't have to pay attention to anything they say.
CARNEY: Jake- I think I've said what I can say.
TAPPER: Is that the standard now?
CARNEY: You can report it as you like.
TAPPER: I'd rather not have to do this Washington Kabuki every time something happens, but if that's the standard, if that's the standard-
CARNEY: The standard is, we should focus on the actions we can take to grow the economy and create jobs, instead of focusing on Kabuki theater.

Not focusing on what people say

Debbie Wasserman Schultz tried the say tactic on Fox & Friends. The whole "let's focus on what needs to get done rather than what people are saying" only applies when its liberals' heads on the chopping block. They have no problem focusing on what people are (or aren't) saying when those "people" are conservatives, especially Tea Partiers.
It's amazing that you can never get these people to just come out and say "No, that was wrong and he/she shouldn't have said that."

Well, Jay Carney -- I have a comment.

CARNEY: I understand that there is a ritual in Washington that somebody said something and then you link the associations and then everyone who has an association with him or her somehow has to avow or disavow. The President wasn't there. I mean, he wasn't on stage. He didn't speak for another twenty minutes. He didn't hear it. I really don't have any comment beyond that.
OK. Let's go with your spin - your angle.
The President wasn't there (on stage - YET).
So what? He wasn't there when Giffords got shot. He wasn't someplace when someone on the conservative side of the isle did the same ole political graphics that everyone does - the silly cross hairs issue.
But! The President and the national media sure seem to be focusing on calling out any warmly loud rhetoric from the right.
Jay Carney (and the national MSM) you don't need the President to be in front of a mad man spewing hate and inciting violence to condemn it.
If the President want's folks to "cool the rhetoric;" then the President best condemn it when he hears about it. Otherwise, it's pretty damn obvious to a 2-yr old, that he was lying to the American people in his earlier speech.
Needless to say, the same thing goes for the national media, as a whole. Where are they in condemning the daily vitriol and hate speech and incitement for violence which is coming predominately from the left?
Good one for Jake Tapper.

Tapper, Tapper ... too little, too late
Submitted by metaphorsbwithu on Tue, 09/06/2011 - 8:25pm.
Tapper can do the job a WH correspondent should but too often he falls back on the role of stenographer (the description given by former WH correspondents, not me).
He seems to pick these controversial but, in the grand scheme of things, little side issues to press Carnery on, but he is regrettably timid when reporting on the big issues like ObamaCare, the continuing spending resolution, abortion, the debt ceiling, etc. in which he is very deferential to Obama's agenda and messaging.
After all ... this assault against conservatives, the TEA Party, and the GOP have been going on for years now with no real consequences while the media portray THEM as extremist and vitriolic.
Obama spent 20 years in Wright's Church and didn't hear anything so how far will Tapper get when Obama claims he didn't get on stage until 20 minutes after Hoffa went on his rant and didn't hear what he said?
At the least he could have challenged Carney's excuse this was a union event (was Obama's appearance not paid for with taxpayer money) and asked if it were the policy of the administration to appear at a purely political function on a national holiday?
Oh, eventually Obama will dismiss the comments as unfortunate and it'll be said "both sides do it".
Don't expect any more and don't expect Tapper to stick his neck out when it counts as I'm sure he's not endeared himself to anyone on the left by actually doing his job today.

He also needs to get his facts straight.
CARNEY: "Well- Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself. He speaks for the labor movement, AFL-CIO."
Hoffa is the head of the Teamsters, which split from the AFL-CIO years ago. I'm sure AFL-CIO President and Chief Thug Richard Trumka ain't letting Hoffa "speak for the labor movement, AFL-CIO."

The President speaks for HIMSELF'???? I think li'l Opie just swerved into a very telling comment, although it probably went over the MSM's heads. The President does NOT speak for the country, or the Constitution, or the ideas and visions of the founding fathers, or the things that made this country great, or anything like that - and he never has!!! He's got his vision of America, and that is what comes out of his mind and mouth...........
Li'l Opie is a freshman twerp - the only reason he gets away with this crap is because the MSM are a bunch of wimp-ass twerps themselves, unless they're going after conservatives or Republicans.

A queebie is a girlie-man, a milquetoast, a male wanna-be, a guy who won't take a stand, a guy who can go around the mulberry bush with his mouth, a guy who is mushy on the outside AND on the inside...................a guy that you WOULDN'T want to get into a serious situation with. A tilley is pretty much the same thing. I've noticed that a high percentage of males in the Obama REGIME have these tendancies.
Obama himself is a queebie, with has a psuedo-macho attitude that he can't back up.............however, given the position that he holds, he's quite able to do serious damage anyway.............as he HAS!!!!!

Your definition of a queebie is a lot more family friendly than the one I found on the intertubes - a male queen bee who, um, screws all the workers.
Obama fits that definition too.

He sounds ridiculous. Wasserman Shultz sounds ridiculous. Nothing like being a leftist I suppose. Must be having great fun while the country is flushed. Must enjoy their power a lot. Must be sent home, packed and ready to try something new in the private sector.

The only way to stop the media's bias is to put them out of business. Call their sponsers and tell them you are going to boycott their product untill the bias is gone. I wouldn't worry about putting the media workers out of work, they are traitors to the citizens of this country. Or, we can just sit back and let the bias of the media destroy any hope of fixing the mess the liberal socialists have put us in.

How different this has been
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 1:51pm.
from the denounce-fests that GMA and others try to put into motion when a conservative says something another conservative thinks in bad taste. I don't have the time right now, but in my youth, I would have watched the news shows for appearances by Dems to record how they didn't get asked "What to you think of what Mr. Hoffa said? Do you think that helps or hurts the current political climate...blah blah blah"
Somebody should make a list like this. And then the next time the interview with a conservative centers mainly on denouncing other conservatives, just list the number of Dems that didn't get asked about Hoffa--and the President's own policy that he's not a "speech cop". That's your answer.
Again, not a real big fan of Pat Buchannon as a politician, but it's amazing how the media set in motion a conservative retreat because he had shared the stage with somebody who once spoke at a white power rally, to the point that the GOP, having prided themselves on a "big tent" approach for years, asked him to leave--or at least gave him the "don't let the door hit you" approach.

In Operation Northwoods, former Chief of Staff, L. L. Limnitzer suggested engaging in "false flag" operations in order to justify invading Cuba. One such scenario involved attacking a US Naval vessel and then blaming it on an unfriendly power.
On June 8, 1967, did President Johnson go "operational" on Northwoods during the Israeli "Six Day War" by ordering the USS Liberty, clearly identified as a US vessel, into the vicinity in order for it to be attacked by 3 Israeli Mirage 3 fighter bombers?
Did these fighter bombers repeatedly strafe and napalm the USS Liberty?
Did other Israeli bombers follow up with napalm and white phosphorus?
Did 3 Israeli torpedo boats then attack the USS Liberty, strafing it with machine gun fire and launching torpedoes, at least one of which hit the ship and exited leaving a 30 ft hole?
Did these Israeli torpedo boats then strafe life rafts in the water with machine gun fire?
Did these attacks continue for several hours?
Did the USS Liberty continue to radio for assistance from the nearby Sixth Fleet?
Did two US aircraft carriers respond by launching fighter aircraft, which were then recalled by the White House? Did Rear Admiral Geiss, who commanded the aircraft carriers, call the White House directly to question the recall order, only to be told by Johnson: "I want that goddamn ship going to the bottom. No help. Recall the wings."
Did a Russian spy ship come on the scene to witness the attack, thereby influencing the Israelis to call off the attack, allowing the USS Liberty to limp to safety?
Were USS Liberty crew members threatened with death if they ever spoke about this incident?
Find out how Alex Jones got to the bottom of this despicable incident, and discovered why it was undertaken - to have Egypt blamed for it, for the US to enter the war and take over the entire Middle East.
Please research this. Let's give these brave men of the USS Liberty our support.

How To Memorize Many Songs And Never Forget How To Play Them?

I think the key is: play a lot. Cycle through your song book on a regular basis and refresh your memory. But that being said...
Learn the changes. Start with the chord progression and learn that first. Chart the song yourself. There's a massive amount of value in sitting down and writing it out by hand. First: you really have to listen and understand what you're doing to write it down. Second: you start to develop your own shorthand for what you write down, what you can remember and what you need to read from the paper and in developing that you learn things in a more permanent way.
Learn the melody. Being able to play what's being sung is the next part of understanding a tune. At least learn the key melody lines: the chorus outline, the verse outline. Again, you'll understand the song better and when it comes time to improvise you'll understand the theme of the song which, along with the chords, makes the song what it is.
Learn the hooks. Finally, learn the key bits of guitar that people remember. You probably don't need to know every bit of guitar, note for note (unless that's the type of band you're in). So learn the bits that matter.
The rest: fake it.
Though, truthfully, once you understand the chords and the melody you're not really "faking" it so much as "improvising intelligently". You'll find it's much easier to play what's right for the song when you understand it this deeply.
