In these times of macro-volatility, it's a line heard more each day: "stock picking is dead." The reasons listed are plentiful, but all focus on the increased correlations across the stock market and various asset classes today. There is certainly an element of truth to the notion that in these volatility storms, everything moves closer together, but the claim that stock picking is dead is not a necessary outcome of the idea that correlations are higher. There are factors that go beyond just what is happening in today's market that have led to this misguided conclusion that stock picking is dead, so let's take a deeper look at what's behind this financially harmful directive.
Just the other day, Jason Zweig, in his Wall Street Journal column, took a look at whether "index funds are complicating the market," and if so, what the consequences are. This is an important conversation, and relates directly to whether stock picking is in fact dead, or not.
Who makes the claim:
There are several different groups behind this claim, and they are important. In terms of economics, one of the core arguments for the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is the notion that there is no alpha (outperformance), as prices reflect all known information, and therefore it is nearly impossible to beat the broader indices. In a rational and efficient world, where information is ubiquitous, why would anyone sell to another with exactly the same information? Or so the EMHers ask.
In the stock market, indexers are a direct outgrowth of the EMH. Burton Malkiel's Random Walk is probably the most visible bridge between the intellectual economics community and actual asset allocators. Indexers carry out the theoretical consequences of the efficient market theory in buying broad baskets of stocks designed to mirror the performance of the economy at large.
Next up are the class of speculators that call themselves technical analysts. There are many kinds of technical analysts, and I use technicals as an important tool myself for timing and scaling into positions, as well as a basic risk management tool. I do not mean those types of technical analysts. More particularly, I am speaking of the technicians who use technicals as their one and only metric through which to buy a stock. Stock picking doesn't matter to these people, because they believe that charts rule the market and therefore only charts matter. They buy the best looking lines on charts, and sell the worst, without "picking" a company based on its own intrinsic metrics. Their intellectual ancestors are Charles Dow and Roger Babson.
Last are the perma-bears. They believe that correlations are high, because volatility is here to stay as a direct result of some sort of serious global economic malady that will lead to the "end of the economic world" as we know it. You'll know these people based on their zealotry for gold as an asset class, complete conviction that they know exactly why everything is going to shit when markets are crashing, and ongoing claims that the market is "inflated, manipulated and rigged" whenever prices are moving higher. To them, everything is on its way to zero, so why bother?
Taking the other side:
The EMHers like to ask what information one person could possibly possess that the other does not, leading to the belief that buying Company A's stock is worthwhile for oneself, while selling Company A's stock is worthwhile for the counterparty? The problem with this question is that there are far more reasons why one type of market participant would sell a stock than just a question about the known information pertaining to the value of a particular business.
This is a crucial point in why the efficient market theory breaks down. It only works in an environment when people are buying and selling based on the same information, focusing on the same companies, and thinking about only factors related to the underlying businesses. There are plenty of people who don't base their decisions on "information" at all, and are acting based on emotion like sellers in a panic or buyers in a bubble. There are other examples outside the emotional realm: Indexers, macro-traders, technicians, and short-term speculators. Importantly, in practice, indexing itself is a major source of company-specific inefficiencies, rather than a factual outgrowth of the EMH. Legendary value investor, Seth Klarman, has specifically referenced his affinity for investment opportunities that directly arise out of inefficiencies during index rebalancing (Hat tip to Distressed Debt Investing), and this is but one example.
Beyond styles, there are many reasons that people may sell (or buy) stocks that have nothing to do with company-specific beliefs. This list includes, but is not limited to, young workers' deposits into 401(k)s, retirees selling savings to live off of, and mutual funds that are forced to sell shares in a spin-off which is worth a price below the fund's mandated minimum capitalization. All of the above transactions have nothing to do with what the person inspiring the purchase (or sale) of an equity thinks about that one particular company. Again, this is important.
Why we have markets in the first place:
While financial headlines swing from "the end of the financial world" to dramatic rescues, it's necessary to take a step back and think about what investing in markets is all about. Stock picking is precisely it.
When we look to the essence of the stock market, we realize that it is an arena for companies to sell fractional ownership interests in exchange for the capital necessary to build, grow and/or maintain a business (forget for a second that most IPOs today are to cash out early investors). This is not a transaction based on the belief that one person is wrong and the other right, nor is it a situation where one person must lose at the other's expense. It's really supposed to be a win/win for the buyer and seller—the buyer gets an ownership stake in a company, and the seller gets the capital they need to deploy in order to increase the value of the buyer's ownership interest. At the end of the day, unless people are in markets to invest in companies themselves, then everything else is illusory, and that's not really the case.
Somehow, the meaning of markets has been so greatly abstracted by the proliferation of types of participants that this existential fact ends up forgotten. In many ways, it's thanks to actual inefficiencies in markets that people learned ways beyond just investing in businesses in order to make substantial sums of money in capital markets. This is why they say that "stock picking" aka investing in companies is dead.
Pulling it All Together:
These other strategies have made money for periods of time, but the most consistent through all time periods is investing in strong businesses for the long-term. This is not to discount the efficacy and importance of other types of analysis. In some ways, it is the generalist who is most adequately equipped for long-term investment, for knowledge of macroeconomics, technicals, etc. are invaluable tools for an actual company-specific investor. It's important for any kind of investor to understand who the market participants are, and why

A Good Week for BP, But It Still Faces Long Road to Recovery
BP has had a good start to 2011.Though it could hardly have been worse than the disaster that was 2010.
It began with New Year's Eve comments from Kenneth Feinberg, the lawyer administering BP's $20 billion compensation Gulf of Mexico oil spill fund, that just $10 billion may be enough to compensate economic victims of the spill.
On Thursday, BP was predictably battered for multiple safety failings by early findings from the presidential commission investigating the causes of the oil spill, but crucially it was not singled out for blame alone. The commission also pointed to serious mistakes by BP contractors Halliburton and Transocean and wider systemic failings in the deep water oil industry.
Investors took this as a sign that BP was less likely to be found grossly negligent–a ruling that could add tens of billions to BP's liabilities–and sent the company's shares higher.
On Friday, there was more evidence that environmental damage to the Gulf of Mexico is not a bad as feared. A study published in the journal Science found that naturally occurring microbes in the Gulf devoured significant amounts of toxic chemicals in natural gas and oil spewing from the sea floor, which researchers had thought would persist in the region's water chemistry for years.
BP also took steps to put behind it the PR disaster that the spill turned into with the appointment of a new head of communications.

Veterans rights activist passes away
Fri, 05 Oct 2012 00:22:50 GMT —
He's being called a true American patriot having fought for a veteran's hospital in the Rio Grande Valley since the 1960s.
Family members and Valley veterans are mourning the death of Vietnam veteran Arturo Treto Garza.
The family of 68-year-old Garza said although he did not live long enough to see his dream of having a veteran's hospital built here in the Valley, they hope his legacy will carry on until it becomes a reality.
Garza's wife Irene told Action 4 News he was hospitalized Monday night after complications with his blood pressure.
Those complications eventually caused a fatal stroke.
Word of Garza TMs passing spread quickly and support started flowing in from veterans, friends and even local and state leaders.
Treto's son Genaro Garza said his father was involved in many causes, all which benefitted Valley residents.
"He always wanted to help people, Garza said. He knew who needed the help and that's where he wanted to help concentrate or give his concentration to, it didn't matter what it was and right now he just knows that the veterans in the Valley really need the help in getting the new hospital so that's been his passion for the past 10 years or so."
Irene Garza added that her late husband kept busy and tried helping others as much as possible to keep his mind off the tragedies he saw while serving with the U.S. Marines during the Vietnam war.
Although, she adds, he was never really able to forget them.
Viewing services will be held on Friday from 1 to 9 pm at the Trinity Funeral Home in Harlingen with a rosary at 7 p.m. Friday.
Services will resume at 10 a.m. Saturday followed by burial at Heavenly Grace Memorial Park in La Feria.

Keep Tabs on This Subprime Leader
Remember the subprime credit industry and all the mischief it caused global markets during the housing bust? Well, it's back, though it has a whole new name -- and it promises it absolutely won't hurt a fly this time (unless the fly really deserves it).
One of the leaders of the new wave of subprime lenders is NetSpend (NTSP). More broadly, the company is a provider of reloadable prepaid debit cards and related financial services in the U.S. The firm currently serves a market of 60 million consumers that it delicately calls "under-banked." Those are people who don't have a traditional bank account, or who rely on alternative financial services....652 more words left in this article.

BBC Review
Tough to describe without lapsing into clichéd talk of glaciers and volcanoes, much...
Adam Smith 2002
After a three-year hiatus, soundtrack-bothering Icelandic dronesters Sigur Rós are back to remind us what 'epic' really means.
Tough to describe without lapsing into clichéd talk of glaciers and volcanoes, much of Takk (Icelandic for 'thanks'), undeniably evokes the awesome spectacle of nature, making the human drama of conventional rock seem trifling.
Largely they stick to the formula established by their international breakthroughalbum Agætis Byrjun; drifting, orchestral hymns overlaid with inscrutable banshee-like vocals and sudden bursts of guitar distortion.
Despite the lack of progression on Takk there are some lovelymoments of playfulness, as in "Sé Lest" when, after six minutes of burbling glockenspiel and vocalist Jónsi's cooing, a chirpy brass band emerges to bring the song to a close. But mostly Sigur Rós remain grave, with skittery tracks like "Gong" which are full of shrill menace. Only after the tranquil "Andvari" does the album turn softer and less coherent, before the finalmajestic coda of "'Heysátan".
Takk. Our pleasure, as ever.

Today we conclude our week long look into alternative treatments for pets with a primer on chiropractic care for pets, which is based on spinal manipulation and has been performed on humans for centuries. Much like homeopathy, herbal medicines and acupuncture, veterinary chiropractic care offers veterinarians and pet parents another avenue of treatment to deal with health problems that affect our furry family members.
Injury to the vertebral column and associated muscles, tendons and ligaments can occur any time, in any animal. Specific trauma, such as what a dog or cat might encounter in a car accident or a fall, can certainly cause the alignment of the spine to be off, but so can landing wrong after an awkward jump. Chiropractic work aims to realign the spine using massage-like manipulation.
Spinal adjustments can correct pain in the back or neck, but the theory of chiropractic adjustments goes a little deeper. It focuses on the dysfunction of the spine and its effect on the entire nervous system throughout the body.
More specifically, chiropractors believe that dysfunction of the spine causes impairment of organs that rely on innervation from specific spinal vertebrae, with each section of the spine corresponding to different organs. The theory is that impaired energy ("chi" or "qi") from a subluxated vertebrae will cause blockage and weakness in the associated organs and their functions.
Many conditions can be addressed by chiropractic work, including:
Some animals will respond immediately following their first adjustment, while others may need multiple sessions. Carrying pet insurance that covers both chronic conditions as well as alternative therapy such as chiropractic care, like Petplan, can help make the cost of caring for your pet more manageable.
As with the other holistic modalities we have discussed, veterinary chiropractic is not meant to replace traditional veterinary care. It is important that your regular veterinarian examines your pet before seeking a veterinary chiropractor.
Though rare, chiropractic work can cause serious injury, even if performed by a trained chiropractor, so it is important to be sure the practitioner is a veterinarian who has had special training above their general veterinary training. Furthermore, animal chiropractic is controversial, with no published studies of its efficacy.
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that suggests it can be effective, however, so if you feel like checking into it, consult with your regular veterinarian first. If he or she agrees, perhaps they could recommend a specialist in your town. If not, visit the website of the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (http://www.animalchiropractic.org/) to search for a veterinary chiropractor in your state.

I am so glad to see this! Many years ago, in the 80's, I had a second part-time job working at the front desk in a chiropractor's office. there were three chiropractors, and the newest one, treated doggies as well. My little girl, Suzie, a cocker mix, was having some back issues, and he did a few treatments on her, and it helped her so much. I am a huge believer in vet medicine as well as alternative medicine. Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for this info and covering alternative medicine
My Great Dane Celest tore her ACL and CCL I cant help but think holistic and chiropractic work will help her manage her pain. The problem, pet plan requires a recommendation from her vet to cover her costs. My vet is a great vet however he doesn't believe in holistic medicine therefore our baby cannot get the extra care she needs and must take pain medication a few times a week.
Both of my golden retrievers are search and rescue dogs. The demands put on their bodies can be extreme. I started working with a veterinary chiropractor after one of my dogs sustained a lower back injury. I have had such a positive response that I continue to have both dogs adjusted every three weeks for maintenance. The dogs love it, my 9 year old pushes my 3 year old out of the way and backs himself up to the doctor so that he can receive his adjustment first!

2012 Who's Got Next Profiles: Wave 2 [Article]
Toronto, ON – The 2012 Stylus Awards by Pioneer DJ are getting close and that means the official release of Stylus/HipHopCanada compilation, Who's Got Next 2012, is as well. Leading up to Stylus weekend, we'll be posting profiles of the artists that are featured on the compilation. We'll divide them up into 3 seperate posts. Click the jump link below to see the second wave of Who's Got Next profiles featuring Neno Rocwell, J.Moy and Shynobi, JiXX, Smash Brovaz and Black Sage.
"On Monday, May 28th, 2012 the most influential players in urban and club culture from across the country will come together again for an evening of recognition and celebration. After six sold out years The Stylus Awards has quickly become the 'must-attend' event of the year for the country's biggest and brightest stars in the urban, dance and club music scene."
Wave 2 Profiles
Neno Rocwell
Neno Rocwell, has been an emerging talent for a few years now, but why haven't we heard about him? Well the answer is a bit different then you would expect. "I just didn't care" he replies, without so much as a second thought. But why? Neno has always felt like his music was reaching the crowd that it should. "When I started, it was just for me, then (it was) for my friends to have something real to ride to. Now it feels like, 'Oh I am kinda good at this, let's see where else it can go" (laughs). And he is good…more than "kinda". The young, Florida born word-smith sets himself apart with not only his unique style and versatility, but also his refusal to conform to the fads of today's music.
Neno has marked his transition from virtual anonymity to music's newest up and comer with several endeavours, the most notable of these success being his newest mixtape, "Roc the Throne", with the upbeat single "If The Party Stops" which landed him on the Styles Awards' mixtape compilation, "Who's Got Next?"
With a variety of quality material set for the upcoming year, Neno is sure to gain further recognition in the industry and catch the ears of diverse listeners. For more information, downloads and exclusives on Neno Rocwell, please visit http://www.nenorocwell.com.
J.Moy and Shynobi
As products of the mid 90's hip hop era, J.Moy and Shynobi are bringing back the essence of real hip hop. Two MC's with two distinct styles. J.Moy gives listeners an in-depth look at his life with what he calls "reality rap" while Shynobi brings that uncanny and witty wordplay. Opposites, but when together give rise to each other. The combination of the two is an example of what Asian philosophers refer to as the Yin and the Yang.
J.Moy and Shynobi are two thirds of the hip hop trio better known as Drunken Fists. After releasing a few underground mixtapes, J.Moy decided to take another path and pursue a solo project. After winning various competitions, a TIMA nomination award, an appearance in The Source magazine, and having his first single "Keep it Movin" peak at the number 2 spot on 93.7WBLK's Unsigned Hype, it was only right that he returned back to his roots to continue building the Drunken Fists Empire.
J.Moy and Shynobi are now beginning to put a mark in the music industry. As products of the old school, there is no better way to start their journey than to feature the legendary Chip Fu (Fu-Schnickens) on their lead single Dangerous.
"The difference between what's possible and what's impossible, is determination." Was a quote heard many times by Toronto rap artist JiXX, and he embodies determination in everything that he does. Jixx started rapping at a young age looking up to his older brother and Canadian hip hop icon JB, recording his first song at just 12 years old. "I started rapping from an early age; I just started in the home studio of a childhood friend and producer Wondas of Wondertainment." From then on he started building a huge buzz in Toronto's east end (Scarborough) working with many local artists.
In 2004 he formed the group "Yay Billz" alongside his younger brother Sly Tha Ryder. The group did many shows in the Toronto area and the name was picking up recognition fast. "I have worked with a lot of local talents to name a few: Benny Blacc, TNT, Nem s iss "K-Fresh",Tommy Spitz, Matte Black, JB, the whole LP Entertainment camp (Desran, Shay, Ryda), Mayhem Morearty, Gee Wunder , Rochester juice , Famous, Mista Bourne, Darryl Riley and many others"
In 2008 JiXX's determination and strength were put to the ultimate test, as fate would come into play. While sitting in his Envoy with his 8 year old step daughter he was shot he believes about four times which has never been confirmed as all the bullets made exit wounds. JiXX lost a lung, and was shot in the heart and liver. He woke up in a coma two weeks later. On Intensive care for over a month and going through open-heart surgery gave the 23 year old a new perspective on life, and a renewed love for family. JiXX stayed positive through the whole experience and has recovered well which can only be attributed to him and his family's faith.
Today JiXXs' new mixtape #LOTNS "Leader Of The New School" (mixed and hosted by DJ Law) was released last July 23rd 2011 and so far has had a good response, and features three hot singles "James Earl Jones, Heartless, and See You Later Featuring Desran" (new R&B artist signed to LP Entertainment). JiXX as well plans to drop his first EP this fall, which will also feature his first single "Spoil You" featuring Dre Marone & produced by Soundsmiths' Koolaid Tha Rebel and a track titled "Hold On" with female R&B singer/songwriter "Antoinette." Currently JiXX has a mixtape which was released early 2011 with Tommy Spitz of GCP titled "Spitz Vs. JiXX" also mixed by DJ Law and Host by JJ is Jenni from Flow 93.5 FM, and is still circulating all across the GTA and also available online as a free download. JiXX is currently working on completing tracks for his next untitled mixtape and an LP Entertainment Compilation which will also feature fellow label members: Ryda, Shay, Desran. Not only that, he recently shot a video for "Spoil You" which he plans to release this summer 2012.
Smash Brovaz
Smash Brovaz are live! Junia T & Crooklin are the two ill-styled, rhyme-kicking emcees that make up this dynamic duo. With musical sensibilities referencing hip hop's golden era, they infuse a youthful brashness creating a unique sound that can be described only as new school nostalgia. With a name that pays homage to one of their generation's most recognizable video game series. Not underground, just with their ear to the ground, Junia T & Crooklin strike a chord with the young at heart and wise in mind. Delivering music that moves you and a stage show that shoves you across the room, Smash Brovaz bring the ruckus. Born out of house party ciphers, Smash Brovaz have been manifesting memorable musical moments since before they were officially a duo. And it's that ability to capture the essence of a moment in time that gives their music life. The spontaneity of their characters is channeled through their knack for freestyling and also will shine through in both the live and recorded music that they bring to the world.
Smash Brovaz boasts a rich performance history that began at Toronto's longest running open mic In Divine Style as the youngest artists on the grand finale's bill and has continued to this day. Their stage show leads the way in terms of local notoriety and is a product of a very natural stage presence and MC aura. The Toronto Star named Smash Brovaz in their list of top 5 indie hip hop acts from Toronto, once again pointing to their "raw, rambunctious energy." Junia T also recently achieved national exposure as winner of MuchMusic Rap City's "hash tag freestyle" for five consecutive weeks. They've opened for artists such as; Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Pac Div, and Sean Price, and also performed at every Manifesto (Toronto 2007-2012) since the festival's inception.
"We consider ourselves performers first, before recording artists," explains Junia T.
Despite this unusual self image, they've released a series of solid singles over the last two years. Most notably "What You Need, What You Want" featuring Blake Carrington achieved rotation on MuchMusic, MuchVibe and Aux TV. In WHAT YEAR, they released their self titled EP and are now looking forward to a summer 2012 release.
Throughout their rise, they've achieved 360 degree perspective on their sound by honing their production skills as well. Junia & Crook cite influences like Foreign Exchange, Little Brother, Boot Camp Click & Slum Village when discussing the origins of their sound. With a clear sense of self, they are maturing into men and bringing their microphones with them. Smash Brovaz have organically grown into a tight knit duo with a chemistry that transcends songs or stages but instead lives as they live. "We pull each other into places on our songs that we might not have gone if we were on our own," explains Crooklin. "I might jump off a concept or a train of thought on a song and Junia will be inspired by the results of my inspiration and pen some raps to fit the vibe but from his perspective or from his life. The give and take of our creative process is what makes us strong."
With a wildfire of true school hip hop burning inside them, Smash Brovaz embodies authentic showmanship and style. They are not bound by charts or demographics or even the title "MC," but instead let the chips fall where they may by making music defined by their tales and their tastes. Smash Brovaz are two of a kind.
Black Sage
From the West-end of Toronto, Born Joseph Alleyne, Black Sage is one of the newest hip-hop sensations hailing from Canada. Black Sage's early passion for music has been the source of an on going love/hate relationship which he creatively elaborates on in his latest record "Just A Chick" Ft. Saukrates now playing on Much Music/Much Vibe, Rap City and radio stations across the nation. Black Sage's raspy voice which compliments his energetic allegro type flow, delivers a conceptual and creative depiction of today's society and his day to day lifestyle. When u listen to Sage's music u sense a hunger for a better life for a different reality, to say the least you can say that it is… remorsefully street" says Gavin Shepard (founder of the Remix Project).
Black Sage is preparing the release of his new single entitled "Slow Dance" Ft. Ray Robinson, along with the video, from his album self titled "Sage-A-Tarious" due for release early 2013. He will also be releasing "Black on Black" Ft. Michael Blackson from B.E.T's Comic View summer 2012. Sage has always made it a point to make it clear that he is not just an MC he is a entrepreneur "Just know first/ I'm a business man/ I did my research/ I know the psychographics/ a master mind when it comes to the mathematics"- Black Sage"My Life" off of the" Official Leak" mix tape available now on iTunes. Black Sage has taken his entrepreneurial skills to alternate levels with the development of his clothing line by the name of "Josef Alleyne's Couture", his media company Higher Heights Multi Media Group all while operating his Independent record label Forensic Science Records.
In 2006 Black Sage released two singles, "You Don't Know Me" and "Shine". "You Don't Know Me" with more of a commercial appeal was greatly received and played in regular rotation on radio stations like Flow 93.5FM, 105.5FM and 89.5FM to name a few. Sage then released a sample CD/DVD called "Da Odyssey Vol.1" which featured the video for "Shine" and his full length EPK. In 2008 Black Sage went on tour across Canada with other up and coming artist, With his return to Toronto the talented MC performed along side other great canadian talents like Drake, Kim Davis, and Devine Brown during the annual Unban Noise Festival, one of the largest of its kind in Canada. He later released the single, "Hot Spot" which was a success and created a demand for a video, which aired on Much Music in 2010. In December 2011 Black Sage released "Just a Chick" Ft. Saukrates, produced by Rich Kidd, and was immediately picked up by popular Radio Stations across the country. The video for "Just a Chick" is now rotation on Much Music, Rap City and Much Vibe and other licensing stations nation wide. Black Sage closed 2011 as opening act for Rick Ross at the Sound Academy on December 22. He entered 2012 with momentum going on to getting booked to open foe the Wale show in Hamilton, then opened for Mya, M.O.P, Smiff n Wesson and Lord Finesse. Black Sage has definitely gained his respect in the industry and fans.
Black Sage continues to exhibit that success does not discriminate, if you have the passion you can make your dreams a reality. Expect more from this talented, savvy hip-hop artist and entrepreneur as he continues to grow and manifest. Look out for his album "Sage-A-Tarious" set to be released in early 2013.

Mark Scully: Downtown noise
August 15, 2010
Full disclosure: I work on the Howelsen Place project, I live in the city of Steamboat, I love the music at Ghost Ranch Saloon, and I am honored that my family can be a part of this community.
As with many issues in our lives, and certainly our politics, issues require thoughtful dialogue from all perspectives. The Ghost Ranch Saloon is a wonderful amenity to Steamboat. We love having it as part of the growing lifestyle of downtown Steamboat.
Howelsen Place was awarded the ACE award for Construction Excellence. It was also built to the highest standards of construction quality and cost. The first floor has an 18-inch concrete slab while the second and third floors have a seven-layer structure to minimize noise. The windows and doors are all multipane. The walls have extra insulation and stud separation throughout to minimize noise.
As many have argued, the ambient noise of downtown Steamboat is part of living downtown. That is not the issue. There are no complaints from homeowners along Yampa Street, along the alley, or along Lincoln Avenue. The noise complaints are solely from homeowners living across from Ghost Ranch Saloon, which was converted from a bookstore to a saloon long after Howelsen Place received approvals and started construction.
This issue is exceptional. We have longstanding laws that govern behavior, and noise, that were designed specifically for areas like downtown Steamboat. What the article ("Noisy nights raise clamor," Aug. 1, 2010, Steamboat Pilot & Today) did not mention is that our consultant and Steamboat police have documented that the Ghost Ranch exceeds the noise ordinance decibel levels when its doors, windows and blinds are left open. This is not always the case, and when closed, the noise issue abates to reasonable levels.
The good news is that this can be fixed with some simple solutions like keeping the windows closed and adding an entry vestibule to the front door. We need to work together to think issues like this through to create a win-win situation.

And the winner is... no winner. As a live CD, Knoppix seems most usable, but as I'm anxious to try out GWC, an audio editor/cleaner that only works on Gnome, it doesn't quite fit this particular purpose as Knoppix is built on KDE. Or, can I?
Anyway, I do expect the Ubuntu family to perform a lot better when properly installed. Which I currently don't really feel like doing.
Basically in LiveCD land there is Knoppix and dozens of tweaked versions. They are all fairly full fat and slow on anything but the latest hardware. Knoppix is supposed to be the leader of the gang, but don't overlook KANOTIX, a Knoppix/Debian distro designed for notebooks. Knoppix and most things based on it are KDE based, which is very nice and pretty, but hardly fast.
If you like Gnome, then there is Gnoppix which has evolved into ubuntu live (or what ever it's called), another Debian/Knoppix distro. Th

BRETTON WOODS, N.H. -- At 10 sharp one morning last month, Mark ''Cookie" Sodergren yanked twice on the whistle lever, released the forward steam valve, spun the brake wheel free, then throttled up locomotive No. 10.
Like a dragon cut loose, 18 tons of fire-breathing steel lurched forward for yet one more charge up the Mount Washington Cog Railway. One of the cog stable, Kroflite rattled, shook, belched, and wheezed, pounding home with attitude that the care and feeding of the world's oldest cog railway remains a Sisyphean labor of sooty love.
The summer season for this New England icon opened last weekend with a fleet of seven temperamental steam engines. They appear to have been constructed from leftovers; some are prone to pouting, others just plain stubborn. All the engines, however, celebrate the ingenuity of not only the forefathers who dreamed up a way to mechanically assault a scenic mountain, but also the half-dozen mechanics who continually come up with ways to keep these elderly beasts alive. For some, the effort is passionate.
''Steam is as near as you can get to a living animal that man has created," said Nigel Day, a 47-year-old Welshman. ''These animals breathe, make noises, eat, drink, and throw tantrums. They are steel, alive."
Two of the engines date to the 1870s, and not for the better part of a century has there been a catalog in the world offering new components for the likes of Ammonoosic (No. 2) and Agiocochook (No. 3). Yet on these engines, and all of their younger siblings, piston rings must be replaced every two years, pistons every four years, main axles every five. In fact, nothing on any locomotive is original; all the machines are in a constant state of being rebuilt, then rebuilt again, almost always with parts made or finished on the premises.
The newest engineering plans on file were drafted in 1904; for blueprints the mechanics use accumulated wisdom. But the task is not always a mechanical archeological expedition.
One engine this summer will feed on bio-fuel for the first time in cog history. Designers expect that a diet of vegetable oil mixed with diesel will substantially reduce air pollution and add horsepower. Another engine will be sporting fancy new chrome-plated piston shafts, nitrite-coated axles, and some Teflon-braided plumbing, all in hopes of reducing the wear and tear that comes with constantly climbing a mountain.
No two engines are alike, but they all have shared one trait since the cog's inauguration in 1869 (the year, incidentally, that the Transcontinental Railroad was completed): They are very needy.
The Mount Washington cog has to chug up more than 3 miles of the second steepest track (37.4-percent maximum grade) in the world. Only the Mount Pilatus cog in Lucerne, Switzerland, with a 48 percent grade, is steeper, according to Wayne Presby, a co-owner of the Mount Washington Cog Railway.
Credit for the invention goes to one Sylvester Marsh, who counted Abraham Lincoln as one of his lawyers in a matter unrelated to railroads. Marsh had his eye on Mount Washington when he patented, among other things, a toothed system of wheels that allowed locomotives to creep up and down a central, grooved rail. On Aug. 18, 1868, his concept steamed to the summit -- and has failed, fatally, only twice. For a 50th anniversary celebration in 1929, Old Peppersass was dusted off and fired up, but could not take the strain. The antique skipped off the track and killed its engineer. In 1967, eight passengers died when an engine derailed on a switch that a hiker might have tampered with. Operating procedures and design changes have made a similar tragedy all but impossible, according to railway employees.
No one, however, is promising that a locomotive won't occasionally act up -- maybe blow a piston ring or burst a fitting. Or suddenly announce that it has plain old rattle fatigue.
For the past two winters, the cog has run skiers up a trail groomed on the lower third of Mount Washington, and it was on one of the last days of this year's season that the engine crew invited an observer aboard the cab of Kroflite.
The locomotive is closing in on a half century of service and stands testament to the importance of staying loose -- literally. A bicyclist on metal wheels careering over railroad ties would have some idea of the ride. While the passenger coach offers suspension, the engine offers a jolt with every baby step that the machine's toothed drive wheel takes up the grooves, or rungs, located in the center cog rail.
There are 120,000 rungs (each one needs to be replaced every 20 years) to the top of the mountain. The ski train claws up only about one-third of them. That means 40,000 shocks to the mechanical gut during each 15-minute climb, or 44 jolts per second at a cruising speed of a little better than 3 miles per hour. No wonder these 18-ton engines are needy.
''Sorry 'bout that! Shakes a bit!" Sodergren yelled as Kroflite lurched to life. Sodergren began tweaking valves to keep the boiler pressure at 150 pounds per square inch as the train started up. Crisscrossing the cab floor and moving considerably faster than the mountain scenery was Matt Scott, shoveling coal from the tender into the boiler's maw.
Scott wore sunglasses to protect his eyes from the glare and heat of the fire. Shovel held near the blade, he moved with clockwork precision through a five-second routine. Scoop, turn, jog two steps, flip the latch and open the boiler door, shovel coal in, slam the door shut, latch it, turn, jog two steps, then scoop again . . .
It's bodybuilding in a work environment where earplugs are mandatory, burning bits of coal from the smoke stack fly through the windows to sting like ant bites, and escaping steam from the valves occasionally reduces visibility to a foot or two.
This is the clean part of cog care. The real grit, accumulated since the time Ulysses S. Grant was president, coats the inside of the gym-sized clapboard machine shop located just down the track from the passenger terminal. This is daily home for a coterie of grease-streaked mechanics tending their charges. After Kroflite's round trip, it was where Joe Orlando, 50, the shop foreman, was monitoring the fine-tuning of a steel piston.
He had mounted the 25-pound object on a room-sized Reed Prentice lathe. Forged to rough dimensions outside the shop, the piston was now midway through a four-hour final quarter-inch trim that Orlando directed by constantly adjusting 12 control cranks.
''The thing that impresses me most is not how we keep these locomotives running, but how they did it with cruder tools back then," Orlando explained after removing another 70/1,000ths of an inch of steel. Schooled in his father's machine shop, Orlando has not lost the Brooklyn accent he arrived with in 1987. He had come with his wife to the White Mountains for a vacation and seen a ''machinist wanted" advertisement. The job took, the marriage did not, and now Joseph Orlando III, 16, works alongside his dad.
Mike Kenly was 19 when he started in the shop doing odd jobs. Now 53, he holds the title of chief mechanical officer. There are many fingerprints throughout the cog railway shop. They are on the rail magazines atop the lunch table, they are on the lunch table. They are on coffee mugs, sandwich wrappings, overalls, and everyone's faces. And there is probably not a bolt on a locomotive at the Mount Washington Cog Railway that at one point or another did not have Kenly's fingerprints on it as well.
He has logged 34 years in the shop. What's his secret to job longevity?
''The fun of being part of history," Kenly said.

Mark Mays, president-CEO of Clear Channel, said the moves are designed to "unlock" the asset value of the company giving it more "financial flexibility." That flexibility presumably would include increasing its cash position and improving its debt rating to make other potentially strategic acquisitions.
The move also signals part of a potential trend toward unbundling of media assets at big media companies. Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone has floated a scenario to break Viacom into two separate operations - one headed by MTV Networks chief Tom Freston, the other by CBS chief Leslie Moonves - when he retires in a couple of years.
Meanwhile, the timing of Clear Channel's outdoor media spin-off is interesting. On Friday, the company released first quarter 2005 earnings, which show outdoor, not radio, to be its major advertising growth engine. Outdoor advertising sales rose 11 percent during the quarter to $579 million, while radio sales declined 7 percent to $774 million.
Clear Channel Radio's results lagged the radio industry during the quarter. On Thursday, the Radio Advertising Bureau released estimates showing that total radio advertising sales for the industry rose 2 percent during the first quarter, including a 3 percent spike in March. "Growth should remain steady throughout the year," said RAB President-CEO Gary Fries.
Mark Mays will continue as CEO and Randall Mays as CFO of Clear Channel's combined Outdoor operations. Paul Meyer was named global president and COO of Clear Channel Outdoor's worldwide operations. The company said it had 2004 outdoor advertising sales of about $2.5 billion, accounting for nearly half the medium's sales.
The 100 percent divestiture of Clear Channel Entertainment will results in a separate, publicly traded company with about $2.75 billion in entertainment - mostly concerts and events - sales.
