As an accountant in Birmingham, Quest Chartered Management Consultants delivers all that you would expect from an accountancy firm servicing small to medium-sized companies and self-employed individuals in the West Midlands. We cover the basic, immutable laws of finance that every company must follow in order to survive;
Naturally these are par for the course for any accountant that you may take on. It certainly pays to have a qualified professional address these aspects of business, as mistakes can prove to be very costly later on.
At Quest we are proud that we always strive to go the extra mile. Our goals are your goals: we want your business to expand and do well. We want you to be secure in your growth and we want your business to have a long and healthy life. This is why we also offer the following services;
We don't believe that an accountant is simply someone that you send your paperwork to. We believe that an accountant should be someone you can call when you have questions; someone who you can meet with when you need some advice or just feel that you need to talk things through.
We like to think that we are a different type of accountant. We invite you to find out for yourself what makes us different and what we can do for your business.
Quest was established in 2003 by chartered management accountant Nick Bonnaud.
Originally hailing from the West Midlands, Nick graduated as a Bachelor of Arts with Honours from the University of Liverpool. He then trained and qualified as a chartered management accountant, not in practice but in industry; as such he sees the world from a business point of view and understands commercial realities. He is an associate of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants.
Though he worked for eight years in the world of blue-chip corporations such as National Grid (at the time trading as Transco) and IBM, Nick found that working for faceless corporations ignited no real passion. What he did discover was that the real passion came from helping "the little guy" – smaller businesses without the set-in-stone stability of a national or international giant – where the help he provided could really make a difference to individuals.
Since its foundation almost a decade ago, Quest has continued to work with small and medium-sized organizations, making a real difference to those companies where everything really does count.

Advanced economies growing, emerging markets slowing - OECD
A moderate recovery is underway in the major advanced economies, according to The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)'s latest Interim Economic Assessment.
A moderate recovery is underway in the major advanced economies, according to The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)'s latest Interim Economic Assessment.
Growth is proceeding at encouraging rates in North America, Japan and the UK and the euro area as a whole is out of recession, the OECD's latest report said.
However, growth has slowed in some of the large emerging economies according to the report.
As the OECD also highlighted, one factor has been a rise in global bond yields – triggered in part by an expected scaling back of the US Federal Reserve's quantitative easing – which has fuelled market instability and capital outflows in a number of major emerging economies, such as India and Indonesia.
"Since they now account for a large share of the world economy, the slowdown in the emerging economies points to sluggish near-term growth globally, despite the pick-up in the advanced economies," the report also read.
Presenting the assessment in Paris, OECD deputy Chief Economist Jorgen Elmeskov said: "The gradual pick-up in momentum in the advanced economies is encouraging but a sustainable recovery is not yet firmly established. Major risks remain. The euro area is still vulnerable to renewed financial markets, banking and sovereign debt tensions.
"High levels of debt in some emerging markets have increased their vulnerability to financial shocks. And a renewal of brinkmanship over fiscal policy in the US could weaken confidence and trigger new episodes of financial turmoil. "
He added: "Continued support for demand is still needed to make sure recovery takes hold, and it remains vital that this be complemented by structural reforms to boost growth, rebalance the global economy and avoid a ratcheting-up of structural unemployment."
The Interim Economic Assessment said public finances have been improving in most advanced economies, with the exception of Japan, but that fiscal consolidation policies must continue. Such policies need to be better designed, however, to protect the most vulnerable in society, to build public support for necessary structural reforms and to prioritise spending to help get people back to work.

AUBURN HILLS, MICH.--With the exception of All-Star point guard Derrick Rose, the Bulls haven't garnered much in the way of individual accolades this season. As the NBA regular season winds down, however, that may be about to change.
Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau was named the Eastern Conference coach of the month for March, during which the Bulls moved up to first place in the East, due to a 13-3 record under the guidance of the first-year coach.
Ironically, one of Thibodeau's predecessors with the Bulls, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, was awarded the honor in the Western Conference. It was the second time this season Thibodeau received the award after earning the honor for January.
Two Bulls players, Luol Deng and Kyle Korver, also received recognition recently.
Deng was named the Central Division nominee for the 2010-11 NBA Sportsmanship Award. Deng previously won the award--named after the top executive of the Bulls' opponent Friday night, Detroit Pistons Hall of Famer Joe Dumars--following the 2006-07 season.
Korver was named a nominee for the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, awarded by the Professional Basketball Writers Association (PBWA). Korver, whose charitable foundation has put on community events for youth in Chicago, as well as his previous NBA stops of Philadelphia, Salt Lake City and Omaha, Neb., where he attended college.
Meanwhile, Rose is also up for a PBWA honor: The Magic Johnson Award, which is awarded to "the player who best combines excellence on the court with cooperation with the media and fans."
Rose named Player of the Month
Derrick Rose was named the NBAs Eastern Conference player of the month for March, the league announced Friday.
Rose, who led the Bulls to a 13-3 record in March, notched his career high in assists with 17 in a win at Milwaukee on March 26 and tied his high scoring mark with 42 in a loss at Indiana on March 18. He also set career marks in three-pointers made with six in a win at Atlanta on March 22 and in free throws made and attempted with 18 and 21, respectively, in the aforementioned Indiana loss.
Rose is averaging 25 points per game (the seventh-highest number in the NBA) and 7.9 assists per game (ranked 10th in the league) this season. The third-year All-Star was also the awards recipient in November.
Kobe Bryant of the Lakers was named the Western Conference player of the month

- Some college majors are more popular than others, and some are concentrated in specific US states.
- Careers site Zippia calculated the most disproportionately popular college major in each state.
- They include uncommon fields of study such as astrophysics, oceanography, and soil sciences.
At universities around the United States, you're sure to encounter students majoring in business, political science, and psychology.
But how about petroleum engineering, forestry, and soil sciences? While those don't sound like the most popular fields in the world, college students in certain states are studying them at disproportionate rates.
Careers site Zippia used data from the US Census Bureau's American Communities Survey to calculate the most disproportionately popular college major in each US state. It found that compared to the rest of the country, oceanography is especially popular in South Carolina and nuclear technologies are studied to a surprising degree in Idaho.
Zippia arrived at the data by dividing the number of each major's degree holders in a state by the state's overall population, and then seeing which of the figures was most at odds with the nationwide rate.
Take a look at the graphic below and see what the most disproportionately common major in your state is.

Windows provide multiple functions in any room, including letting in some sunlight while you check out what is happening outside. Some are opened regularly for fresh air, while others are not. In any case, these areas are a perfect location for adding some colorful decor to the room by following these decorative wall shelves ideas.
Things You Should Consider For Decorating The Window Shelves
There are several things that you will want to consider when you are getting ideas for good window shelf decor. First of all, do you have any pets or children in the home? If so, you will need to make sure that they cannot access anything that would do them harm. While older kids can usually be trusted to leave things alone if told to do so, a colorful cacti arrangement could be quite enticing to a toddler left unattended for a few moments. Also, take the time to measure each window shelf so you can quickly determine whether or not a piece of decor will fit well.
Check out the windows to see how the light hits them throughout the day. Try to get an idea of what it will be like all year, though it might be difficult if you are not familiar with how the sun patterns change in your neighborhood. Keep in mind that some pieces will require movement with the seasons to ensure proper lighting for your belongings. For instance, a window that doesn't receive direct sunlight during the winter is perfect to keep items from fading. However, you should remove it come spring or summer if the sun's path begins to beat down on the window for any significant length of time.
Be Creative With Plants for Window Shelves Decoration
Small plants are one of the most popular items for window shelves. You can grow a functional and fun herb garden above the kitchen sink. However, you don't have to stick with plain pots and plants. In addition to using cute planters, consider learning some topiary skills. While usually associated with outdoor trees and bushes, topiary designs can be used with smaller plants as well. Both rosemary and lavender have the woody growth necessary to pull this off. You can use a wire frame to create a heart, or stick with simple designs like boxes and balls.
If you don't enjoy fresh herbs or have another window to decorate, a succulent garden can be a colorful solution to your empty window shelf. While cacti fall within this category, a wide range of plants store water in their leaves. This means that you will invest less time to keep them looking great. Accent your succulent garden with moss, rocks and miniatures. You can make a fairy garden or something else entirely. Find online pictures of small succulent gardens to get your imagination flowing.
Your window shelves provide a great decorating opportunity. Plants are usually the top pick for them because of the plentiful sunshine usually found there. Herbs and succulents are good places to begin, though you might discover an entirely different type of plant family is just what you need to brighten your shelves! Learn here more!

Gian, I7SWX, has shared a mod for replacing the TDA2822 audio amplifier. He intends to apply this circuit after other mods he is experimenting with on his uBITX.
The audio PA is the TDA2003, an amplifier where the bandwidth can be modified. His circuit is designed for 3kHz.
This circuit, with reduced bandwidth, has been tried on an FT920. It is possible that some components values may need to be changed.
It is important to note that Gian has not tried this mod as yet, but others might like to beat him to it!

How did your Neuroscience degree from Bowdoin prepare you for your current career?
An important turning point in every young scientist's development is the transition away from consuming science as a collection of dogmatic principles. As a student in Patsy Dickinson's Neurophysiology course, I began to learn that problem solving was a more important skill than memorization. Discussing the merits of scientific articles in seminars further reinforced this point—that scientific discovery is a deeply nuanced collection of results and their interpretations. Thanks to Hadley Horch's incredible mentorship inside and outside the lab, I soon gained the tools and confidence to design and interpret my own scientific experiments. As a woman who started college feeling like a scientific outsider—with no one in my family in the field or in medicine—these experiences were especially empowering.
Presently, I am transitioning from academic research to my first year of medical school. Medical knowledge, too, is a messy compilation of facts derived from old and new studies, anecdote, and sometimes tradition. I hope to become a physician-scientist who critically evaluates current medical practices to understand how we know what we think we know, and then to design studies to improve, strengthen and deepen that knowledge.
What advice would you give to current or future Neuroscience majors?
I would tell other Neuroscience majors to take risks: Apply for summer research, graduate programs, and scholarships—even those that feel out of your grasp. I assure you, they are not! Even if individual applications do not work out as you hope, the process is among the best ways to practice refining and communicating your ideas and aspirations.
But also: remember to do what you love outside the classroom, too! Some of my proudest moments may seem far removed from neuroscience—like performing as a member of Bowdoin's Improvabilities, living abroad for two years, or working as a running tour guide—but in roundabout ways ultimately fueled my interest in particular topics in neuroscience and led me to medicine (and are things that I got asked all about on the interview trail for medical school, too!).

Studium Generale lecture on April 15th by Arne Padmos
Encrypt all your things, Cryptography as a technical solution and a design problem.
This lecture will be the 5th in our series on the theme of paradigm shifts.
Data, time: Wednesday April 15, 17.00
Location: Wijnhaven 107, H.2.318
Throughout the last decades, the security field has been faced with greater access and ubiquity of computer systems, increased professionalisation of computer crime, and a growing focus on the problems of terrorism and cyber conflict. This has gone hand in hand with greater government and citizen reliance on automation, calls for increased policing and punishment, and gradual securitisation of cyberspace. One trend that could avert disaster is the ubiquitous application of cryptography in everyday life. Cryptography may be a solution to both widespread criminality and government surveillance.
Whereas cryptography was the domain of spooks and soldiers up to the 1970s, cryptography has now moved from the military to the masses. It has become one of the pillars of our digital society. For example, cryptography forms the foundation of Internet banking, online shopping, and mobile telecommunications. However, to achieve ubiquitous cryptography, we have to change our perspective from "security by design" to "security as design". We need to start seeing cryptography as a design problem. Cryptography will need to work within a consumerist and control society that banks on the obsolescence of gadgets and on obedience to the system.
Cryptography is both a technical solution and a design problem. This lecture will give you the tools that you can use to protect yourself. It will also introduce you to current design challenges and what you can do to help solve them.
You are very welcome to attend this lecture and to bring interested friends and colleagues.

OXFORD, Miss. – Employees who operate their own businesses on the side often pick up valuable skills that they put to use at their primary jobs, according to a study conducted by three business professors and a former doctoral student at the University of Mississippi.
The study concludes that having part-time entrepreneurs as employees benefits the company – a position often opposed by the corporate world and general public.
"From our study, we discovered employees running side businesses learn a unique set of skills and abilities through entrepreneurial experiences," said David Marshall, assistant professor of management at the University of Dayton and graduate of the UM School of Business Administration's doctoral program.
"Our hope is that more company leaders begin recognizing the value these employees can provide their employing organizations and spend more time finding ways to capitalize on these unique skills and less time discouraging part-time entrepreneurial pursuits."
Marshall worked on the project with Walter Davis, Ole Miss associate professor of management; Tony Ammeter, associate provost and associate professor of management and MIS; and Clay Dibrell, executive director of the university's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Their findings are detailed in "Learning off the Job: Examining Part-time Entrepreneurs as Innovative Employees," which is being published this fall in the Journal of Management.
The authors hypothesized that part-time entrepreneurship provides an opportunity for individuals to acquire knowledge and skills that make them more likely to engage in innovative behaviors. By analyzing a sample of 1,221 employee responses across 137 organizational units, they provided evidence to support their hypothesis: that employees who run side businesses exhibited greater innovative behaviors in their primary jobs than those who did not.
"Our research found that some individuals – those who are higher in a trait called 'learning orientation' – are more likely to transfer new skills from their entrepreneurial ventures to their workplace," Davis said.
The professors found individuals who are higher in learning orientation understand that ability and mastering skills is something that can be improved through learning and experimentation. Given the part-time entrepreneur's desire for learning, the subsequent trials and failures in pursuit of their entrepreneurial dream lead to the development of knowledge that individuals with a lower learning orientation will not have opportunities to develop.
"Persons high in learning orientation seek to master new skills through learning and experimentation," Davis said. "This is important, because innovation can be risky and often entails mistakes and failures.
"Persons who are high in learning orientation are willing to take the risks needed to innovate."
The authors stated that future research should explore additional ways in which part-time entrepreneurs contribute to their employing organizations. For example, a part-time entrepreneur may exhibit greater management and leadership abilities and be more willing to work outside his or her routine set of tasks to accomplish organizational goals, they said.
"One of the things we found, that might be surprising, is that leaders should consider supporting employee desires to work as a part-time entrepreneur," Ammeter said. "Encouraging employees to engage in outside entrepreneurial activities may result in some employees eventually leaving to pursue full-time entrepreneurship, but many others will remain and transfer entrepreneurial knowledge to work-related tasks and procedures."
The professors point out that leaders of organizations are interested in training their employees to be innovative, suggesting that such skills can be learned through entrepreneurial activities outside the workplace. The authors said they hope the findings continue to push scholars to consider the important interaction between participation in outside entrepreneurship and employment inside the firm.
"We find entrepreneurs who are interested in having their own business and want to work with a larger company do best working for companies which focus on innovations," Dibrell said. "For these same employers, we find some of their most outstanding employees often have side businesses.
"In effect, the innovative company and entrepreneurial employee both win."

Google's work in China benefiting Chinese military: U.S. general
FILE PHOTO: A Google sign is seen during the China International Import Expo (CIIE), at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, China November 5, 2018. REUTERS/Aly Song
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States' top general said on Thursday that the Chinese military was benefiting from the work Alphabet Inc's Google was doing in China, where the technology giant has long sought to have a bigger presence.
"The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military," Marine General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit," he said. "Frankly, 'indirect' may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it is more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."
Last year Google said it was no longer vying for a $10 billion cloud computing contract with the U.S. Defense Department, in part because the company's new ethical guidelines do not align with the project.
In June, Google said it would not renew a contract to help the U.S. military analyze aerial drone imagery when it expires, as the company sought to defuse an internal uproar over the deal.
At the same time, Google said it has "no plans" to relaunch a search engine in China, though it is continuing to study the idea.
Lawmakers and Google employees have raised concerns the company would comply with China's internet censorship and surveillance policies if it re-enters the Asian nation's search engine market.
Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai has previously said the company has invested in China for years and plans to continue to do so, but that the company also was continuing to work with the U.S. government on projects in health care, cybersecurity and other fields.

Favorite Non-Toxic Household Cleaning Products
My favorite non-toxic house hold cleaning products I use to have a safe toxic-free and chemical free home!
If you're new here and new to toxic free living, start with this post: Why I Made My Home Toxic Free + How I Did It! In that post I share everything you need to know about going toxic free, the resources I learned from, how I budgeted and slowly made the toxic free swaps, and a round up of all my toxic free posts linking to my favorite products (including this one!).
Along with eating clean, it's important to me to have a completely toxic free and chemical free home To support a healthy living and natural environment for me and my family.
Watch Me Share My Favorite Toxic Free Household Cleaners:
In the above video you can watch me share and explain my love for my favorite household cleaners that I love. Originally created for my Instagram Stories.
Here are my favorite non-toxic household cleaning products:
1. Branch Basics
Use code TASTESLOVELY for 10% off any Branch Basics Starter Kit or Laundry Kit!
There are tons of non-toxic cleaning options out there, but Branch Basics is by far my favorite! All you need is 1 concentrate bottle and you use the same concentrate to make your all-purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, streak free glass and mirror cleaner, and laundry soap!
The cleaner is plant and mineral based so it is completely safe to use, especially if you have little kids. The concentrate is non-gmo, free of all harmful preservatives, and fragrance free. Best of all, it works!
My laundry comes out squeaky clean (which is saying a lot since I have a 3 year old and 8 month old). My counters and floors and mirrors have never looked better! I never stress when my baby is crawling on my newly mopped floors since it is such a safe cleaning product.
I recommend starting out with the starter kit. It comes with all the empty bottles you need. After that, you'll only need to order the concentrate and refill the bottles you have.
Each bottle has a fill line of how much water and concentrate you need to add. It is fragrance free, but I love adding in essential oils to keep my house smelling fresh as I clean it. My favorite combo is 10 drops of orange essential oil and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil. But use whatever combo you like best!
To save even more money, I signed up for their subscription service. 1 bottle of concentrate is enough to last me for 3 months worth of cleaning and laundry (the laundry uses a majority of my concentrate, doing a lot of laundry over here with 2 little kids!). It is cheaper, and I don't have to keep on top of ordering it. Just automatically arrives every 3 months. Yea!
To be honest, I don't have the best luck with the concentrate as a dishwashing detergent, and I don't use their oxygen boost because I find baking soda to do the same thing and it's much cheaper. More on baking soda below.
2. Wool Dryer Balls
I no longer use dryer sheets since they contain toxic chemicals and synthetic fragrance. Instead I use these reusable dryer balls and they work great! They get my clothes dry much faster. And the wool keeps the clothes soft and fluffy.
It took some getting used to not having any "scent" to my laundry from dryer sheets, but now I prefer it! They come out smelling "fresh" rather than overly scented.
3. Baking Soda
I use baking soda for 3 main cleaning purposes: as a spot removal for clothes and furniture, as a stain lifter and scent remover with my laundry, and as a stain remover on my enamel cast iron cookware.
To use it as a spot remover for clothes and furniture, mix 1 part water with 1 part baking soda. Stir to make a paste, and rub on stained clothes or furniture.
To give your clothes an extra cleaning boost, and to remove a ton of bad smells (I'm talking about you gym clothes!), add in 2 tablespoons of baking soda into your washing machine on top of the clothes before starting your laundry cycle.
To remove the brown marks on your enameled cast iron cookware, sprinkle in baking soda with a few drops of water, rub with a scrub brush, and watch the brown stains disappear!
4. Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Bleach, Free & Clear
This is a toxic-free, chlorine free bleach that works! Lifts stains and keeps whites AND colors brighter.
It doesn't have a bleachy smell at all. I add this to every load of laundry I do, whites or colors.
5. Seventh Generation Dishwashing Detergent Gel – Free & Clear
My dishes come out squeaky clean! No streaks or smudges or spots. I love that this is plant based and free of petroleum.
6. Rubbermaid Spray Mop Kit
I used to love my Swiffer Wet Jet, but don't love their toxic formula. My clean living swap out has been this mop with branch basics! I use a 5:1 water to concentrate ratio, along with some drops of orange essential oil and peppermint essential oil. My floors come out clean!
Bonus is that the microfiber cloth is washable, so less waste to go to landfill.
7. Homemade Foaming Castille Hand Soap
I make my own non-toxic foaming hand soap and sink dishwashing soap using these BPA-free foaming hand soap bottles, along with Dr. Bronner's Castille Soap. I mix 1 part castille soap to 3 parts water. I also add in about 6 drops of orange essential oil and peppermint essential oil. Feel free to use whatever essential oil scents you love most!

Ed Longley, Head of Onine at Hiscox, is a member of the judging panel for our Innovation Awards.
I've been talking to Ed about how Hiscox encourages forward thinking within the company, what he will be looking for from awards entrants, as well as examples of innovation from the last 12 months.
What makes something innovative?
Innovation is being the first to try a new approach, whether this is in your geography or vertical industry and challenging the accepted norm by taking calculated risks.
How do you build an innovative company, or foster innovation within your organisation?
It needs to be top down, or at least from a very senior level to enable an environment where people are empowered to try out new ideas.
After that, the mind set needs to embrace and celebrate success while recognising and improving on ideas that don't deliver their full potential.
Are most stakeholders at Hiscox happy to go along with innovative ideas, or do you have to work hard to persuade them to take chances?
At Hiscox, we have a management structure that actively encourages and embraces employees to take a step back and look at ways of doing things differently. Our company culture makes a point of challenging the norm.
An example of this is where all new employees are invited to lunch with our Chairman and senior Executive team where everyone has to bring a new idea to the table.
Can any company become innovative? What are the barriers to innovation within organisations?
Absolutely. The main barriers are culture and decision-making. Innovation requires creativity. personal accountability, teamwork and rapid decision making.
How do you persuade people to take risks and embrace innovative ideas?
Foremost we have to hit our numbers, we are a Plc. After that, having delivered your numbers and earnt your stripes we are actively encouraged to bring fresh thinking to the table.
Being up front and open about the risks and how to mitigate against these is an important part of selling an idea in. After that, it is belief in your abilities and good judgement.
Why is innovation so important in the digital arena? Is there still plenty of scope for new innovation?
If you don't do it, someone else will and potentially gain a competitive advantage as a result. It can limiting to view innovation in purely digital terms as people don't view the world as online / offline or analogue/ digital.
Innovation should be integral to developing a campaign and digital fits in as part of the mix.
What will you be looking for when you judge entries to this year's Innovation Awards?
Something that makes me wish I'd done it! It may or may not have an ROI.
What are your top three innovations for 2011?
In May we launched our first mobile proposition that included a mobile brochure site, segmented PPC traffic, mobile SEO optimised, mobile Pay Per Call, iPhone App and QR code integration across online and offline. We have learnt a lot from this, and it presents new opportunities.
In July, we ran a full attribution study that included all digital activities to channel, campaign, keyword and creative level. In conjunction with our programme of AB and MVT testing, we have improved our digital marketing efficiency and effectiveness, with a very strong ROI.
In October we invested marketing budget in the launch of a new Kindle "clipping service" (www.clipdo.com) that allows Kindle users to send website content to the Kindle to be read offline – a UK first.
Clipped articles include Hiscox advertising and the website carriers our branding. This was principally about exploring a new channel to reach our target audience.
What do you see as the major trends in digital for the next 12 months?
Beyond personalised location based mobile services, we will see a closer alignment and integration of online and offline, where brands increasingly offer customers a proposition, rather than online this and offline that. Blippar will be one to watch.

Gardner Art Heist: The Thieves Who Couldn't Steal Straight
Having covered the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum case for 16 years, I've seen my share of anniversary press conferences. Most have been gloomy, a few hopeful. Last Monday's announcement, coinciding with the heist's 23rd anniversary, was by far the most dramatic.
From a public relations standpoint, the press conference was a hit, generating flashing Internet bulletins and global media coverage. Since crowd-sourcing was the goal, the FBI should be pleased. But we didn't really learn anything new beyond the assertion that some of the stolen paintings made their way to Philadelphia a decade ago. I was invited to speak with investigators alone for a few minutes after the news conference. They are dedicated men to be sure, and they were candid: they told me that for now the trail has "gone cold."
A lot of these characters, chief among them a gangster named Carmello Merlino, can be heard yapping on wiretaps about their plans to return the art for the $5 million reward money — if only they could find it.
It was attention grabbing to hear them say they know the identities of the thieves. (Keeping the names secret is wise from an investigative standpoint — imagine the media swarm.) But any careful follower of the case can boil the list of likely robbers down to three men — all Boston-area felons. My belief is that two of the thieves are dead, and the third is in prison. The dead men will tell no tales, but there is still a chance to squeeze the guy behind bars.
Investigators spoke of a "criminal organization with a base in the Mid-Atlantic states and New England." The lynchpin here would be a lifelong hood named Robert F. Guarente, a mob figure who died in 2004 at age 65. Guarente's criminal history dated to the 1950s, when he was collared in Philadelphia for cashing forged money orders. In 1968, he was arrested with a group of Boston stickup artists for robbing eight banks, at one point taking two women hostage in a botched effort to flee police. He spent about 20 years in Walpole prison. His movements have been traced from Maine to Hartford. In 1991, he pulled a gun during a family dispute and was arrested.
But I'll never believe that Guarante and his entourage of bloody hoodlums thought this heist up on their own. It is far more likely they wrested some of the art from the men who broke in, then didn't know what to do with it. A lot of these characters, chief among them a gangster named Carmello Merlino, also deceased, can be heard yapping on wiretaps about their plans to return the art for the $5 million reward money — if only they could find it. It's the gang that couldn't steal straight.
Back in 1997, when I was chasing the paintings, I went to a federal prison to see Myles J. Connor, a Massachusetts art thief of some renown. He spoke frankly about casing the Gardner in the 1980s with a "pal," as he called him, an all-around criminal named Robert A. Donati. Donati, long since dead too, is known to have moved in Guarente's orbit. Connor said he recalled pointing to a fluted Chinese bronze beaker (later stolen in the heist) and telling Donati how much he wanted it for himself. The beaker was attached to a table by a clunky and elaborate mechanical device, and evidence shows that the thieves spent a lot of precious time detaching it. A gift for Connor, who was in prison when the robbery occurred? I think so.
So two things stand out in the aftermath of last Monday's announcement.
First, the crime was always a local job. Most art heists are. Having researched dozens of robberies involving Rembrandts (I co-wrote "Stealing Rembrandts" with Anthony M. Amore, the Gardner's tight-lipped security chief, in 2011), I can declare that if there is some debonair master collector-thief out there, we have yet to find him. The smartest thing police can do right after an art robbery is round up the usual suspects.
Second, museum security experts use many high-tech tools, and necessarily so. But the simplest things are always the best defense. One day when I was leaving the Gardner with Amore, he turned to the head of the night shift and said, quite soberly, "Don't let anybody in." That cardinal rule was broken soon after midnight on March 18, 1990. Unfortunately, the trail is still cold.
Also in 2010, we examined three of the stolen works:

With 518 brand new residential apartments above it, and 1400 artifacts below it, Husk and Vine Kitchen and Bar sits at the juncture between old and new. According to Wayne Taranto of Crown Group, the restaurant is "part of the changing face of Parramatta." It sits below the suburb's first five-star hotel, Skye Hotel Suites, which is set to open in August.
During the excavation for this large-scale development, Crown Group uncovered significant archaeological remains that they have preserved as part of their final structure. They include a 1840s convict's hut, a wheelwright's workshop, and the cellar of the former Wheat Sheaf Hotel, all sitting right underneath the restaurant. They're connected by a flight of stairs that allows restaurant guests access to the impressive collection of artifacts, and via a glass floor that offers a glimpse of the archaeological dig from the restaurant's terrace.
Connection to this Parramatta of old also informed the restaurant's wheat and wine concept. You'll also find connection in the unusual décor choices created by Nic Graham. Hundreds of styrofoam 'sandstone' boulders are suspended on strings in mirrored boxes, creating an otherworldly cube with moody low lighting. On two sides the room is surrounded by an impressive open kitchen and bar. The all-important eats have been left in the hands of Ambassador Chef Stephen Seckold (ex-Flying Fish).
"Rather than sticking to one sort of food we'd take influence from all over the place," said Seckold. Reading like modern comfort food, Seckold's menu is designed to warmly welcome all of Parramatta through the inclusion of multicultural dishes, "without messing with anything," he added. His menu will also pay close attention to seasonality - on the evening I dined this was evidenced by artichokes forming both table decor and appearing in a silky Jerusalem artichoke and truffle amuse bouche.
On any evening you can take the opportunity to break Rosemary & Sesame Flatbread ($15) with your fellow dinners at a long convivial table, and smear your torn portion with warm hummus. The flatbreads and pides, including Haloumi, Sumac, Roast Garlic and Parsley Flatbread ($16) are cooked in a Beech clay oven.
You'll also find more easily sharable entrées like Za'atar Fried Chicken ($14) with oregano and garlic dip, and Lamb Ribs ($21) cooked in a date and tamarind glaze.
The lamb ribs are good – neatly avoiding the usual traps of being too greasy or too gamey - and even better when dragged through the accompanying smear of labne.
Your must-have entrée is a skillet of Burrata Cheese ($19) presented on garlic bread with a cumin-heavy chermoula treatment, raisins, green leaves and pine nuts. It's unusual but it works!
If for some strange reason you're anti-cheese, there's also a Swordfish Crudo ($23). The delicate fish is given a grapefruit, white balsamic and pink peppercorn treatment that's pleasant but was slightly dominated by olive oil on the evening I dined. You'll also find pink grapefruit making an appearance on the cocktail list, in a quaffable Grapefruit Spritz ($12).
With the restaurant's theme really leaning towards relaxed, convivial, sharing cuisine, the large share mains like Whole Butterflied Chicken ($45) with chilli, lemon and paprika sweet potato, and Lamb Shoulder ($65) with harissa, okra and chickpea stew, are going to be popular ways to dine.
To my palate both of these dishes were under-seasoned, but I suspect it's part and parcel of them being presented as a please-everyone 'family' style meal. With good quality sea salt on every table, each guest is of course then free to season to their personal proclivity.
Build these sharing mains into full meals by throwing in sides like Baby Carrots ($11) in cumin, honey and Persian feta, and Chat Potatoes ($12) with intense black garlic offset by sour cream. The 2016 Ross Hill Pinnacle Chardonnay ($80) makes a nice poultry companion. For the lamb shoulder, the 2015 CRFT 'Chapel Valley' Pinot Noir ($80) will do the job without having to resort to anything more tannin-heavy from the interesting wine list that centres upon on Australian cool climate wines.
For those who don't like sharing, you could do much worse than your own bowl of silky Hand Cut Pappardelle ($24). You'll see the thin strands of wide cut pasta hanging in the open kitchen. They're given a simple burnt butter treatment with cubes of butternut pumpkin, pine nuts and goat's cheese, and scrub up a treat.
The short dessert menu offers up modern renditions of the classics. The pistachio and raspberry Bombe Alaska ($16) won fans at my table, but I found it dominated by the marzipan biscuit base.
I've got no complaints about the pretty Pavlova ($15), tarted up into something quite adult using sharp tangerine and orange blossom cream.
There's plenty to like about this new Parramatta player who hope to revolutionise the suburb's upper end dining with their accessible, relaxed, sharing menus. Later in the year Husk and Vine will be joined on the site by the influential bar guru, Sven Almenning. Almenning will be opening a rooftop bar on the twenty-sixth floor, providing the perfect way to kick off, or conclude, your introduction to the new Parramatta.

Sophie Le's gymnastics class had their end of the semester show on Day 152. As you may remember, Sophie Le froze. She expected to see her teacher at the show and her teacher wasn't there. She tried, but she just couldn't move past the change in plans...no matter how hard Mommy and Daddy tried to coax her. It was sad. It was frustrating. It was NOT a good experience. I didn't care if she did the show or not, but I KNEW she WANTED to. However the gym director graciously offered to let Sophie Le come back today and try again. After our experience on Wednesday, I wasn't sure if we should try again (her teacher is gone for the summer so she would still have to do the show with another teacher). I really didn't want Sophie Le to feel uncomfortable again :o(
Sophie Le on the other hand was ready to do her show today! She promised me that she was going to "do a good job" and that "she wouldn't freeze up" :o) So I decided to give her the opportunity. I am so happy to report that she did AMAZING!!!! Seriously, really great!! She was excited. She was pumped. She was proud :o) She was on a mission! Daddy recorded the show and I will try to share it soon, but my camcorder isn't compatible with Windows 7 so I will have to upload it on the dinosaur computer later :o) I was so happy watching her that I didn't do a very good job taking pictures :o) Haha! Here are a few...
The lady helping Sophie Le with her routine is the same lady that taught Hillary Ashton two years ago :o) Sophie Le didn't want anything to do with her on Wednesday, but was fine with her once she had a couple days to process the change :o) My baby likes to be know exactly how things are going to play out!
She earned her medal!!
Her sisters were clapping like crazy for her!
After a quick nap, we headed to a local water park. I had never been there before, but my friend Tricia assured me it would be fun and I would be okay with four kiddos :o) I have to admit, I had my doubts about the "being okay with four kids" part, but my friend is really wise so I decided to trust her :o) And you know what? It was GREAT! The girls had a blast and we can't wait to go back!!
Hillary Ashton makes friends where ever she goes!
Sophie Le LOVED gathering and pouring water...over and over and over again :o)
This girl was stuck to my leg for the first hour so this picture is about as good as I could get :o) I actually like when my kids are stuck to my leg when we are around water so no complaints there! Haha!
Little cuties!
When Tricia got to the park, she had THREE extra helping hands with her! Yea! Since we now almost had the kids outnumbered, we were able to try out the lazy river and slide. ALL of the girls LOVED (I mean LOVED) the water slide...however there is no way I could get pictures of that today...maybe next time...it was soooooo sweet hearing them squeal and giggle in delight!
After a quick supper, the girls were ready to play some more...SUMMER is the BEST!!!!Sweet sisters...
Sophie Le wearing her medal while riding her tricycle :o)
While we were outside, I checked the Friends of Fanose page and was excited to see that our well fund is up to....
The best part of that awesome news...we have raised enough to provide FIFTEEN people with CLEAN drinking water!!! That is FIFTEEN people that wouldn't have access to CLEAN drinking water without your help!! Pretty amazing, huh?
THANK YOU SO MUCH to Kelly, Nicola & Annie for helping us hit the $300 mark today!!
I want to thank you guys SO MUCH for spreading the word about Friends of Fanose. Two of the donations that came in today were from caring people that I don't personally know! That is AWESOME!!! Even if you don't feel called to give monetarily to this cause, you can still help (A LOT) by spreading the word (through Facebook, blogs, email, word of mouth, etc....).
Spreading the word is the only way we will be able to meet our goal of $5000 in the next 88 days! Every single dollar matters!
So anyways, we were outside playing when I saw the new donations and I told the girls and Hillary Ashton went crazy! She was so excited. Here is a glimpse of her "clean water dance." Haha!
This child REALLY wants to build a well in Africa!
She asked me how much more we need to build the well and I told her $4700 and she said, "That's easy. Those people in Africa are going to be so happy to get yummy water!" I love her sweet, innocent spirit!

According to a Medical Economics poll "more than 80% of doctors
who have used practice management consultants are tickled pink by
the job they did". This high level of successful relationships may
be due to the fact that physicians are very used to using clinical
consultants on a day to day basis and may transfer those communication
skills to their business relationships.
There are those though, as indicated by the Medical Economics poll, that do not experience a successful relationship. In some cases this is due to consultant incompetence or error. Other disappointments may stem from personality conflicts, hiring the wrong type of consultant for the task or not having the consultant agree with the doctor's pre-determined solution or agenda. Proper goal setting and hiring procedures will avoid most of these problems.
There are consultants for every need you can imagine and then some. The Professional and Technical Consultants Association lists over 360 different types of consultant and they barely scratch the surface. Despite the diversity of available expertise, physician demand falls primarily into a few categories:
Increasing productivity and/or profitability
improving internal systems and reducing paperwork
staffing issues (hiring, retention, discipline, firing and compensation)
associating/group formation/associate relations
With these or any other need, there are a few rules that will allow a physician to get the most out of a consulting relationship. They are:
1) Realize when help would be beneficial and get it.
2) Get the best qualified expert available. The most expensive advisers are often the least costly in the long run.
3) Check their references.
4) Keep your consultant fully informed. Communicate frequently to keep them on track.
5) When you have properly hired, involved and informed the consultant and they give their advice, take it.
Case Study #1.
Solo Family Physician With Decreasing Patient Load Problem:
Dr. A knew why his practice was shrinking. Kaiser, an urgent care center, a large multi-specialty clinic and another physician had recently entered his area. He just didn't know what to do about it. Solution: His consultant first got Dr. A to modernize his image. Fresh paint throughout, new furnishings attractive plants and abundant patient education literature for the reception area were installed. The doctor and staff were trained in advanced communication techniques and guest relations to make new patients feel welcome and let existing patients know that their referral of family and friends were encouraged. Scheduling procedures were instituted that prioritized new patient visits. Only then were discreet external marketing programs instituted that attracted lots of new patients to the office. The new patients liked what they found and stayed. To his credit, Dr. A never let up. He no longer takes the busyness of his practice for granted, and continues to strive for improvement, except in one way. With his consultant's assistance, he clarified for himself that with his personal style, he would remain solo rather than add associates or join a group.
Case Study #2:
The Bungled Retirement Problem:
Dr. B, nearing retirement age, determined to get his practice appraised and sold before the anticipated deluge of doctors leaving practice occurred. Solution: Dr. B had his CPA, a good accountant, appraise his practice. His CPA, never having appraised a medical practice before, used the wrong formula and priced the practice too high. Dr. B then tried to sell the practice himself but had no takers because of the price and an inadequate effort. Word got out into the local medical community, then the lay community. Patients steadily changed providers until there were inadequate numbers left to support the practice, at which point it folded.
Case Study #3:
Almost A Group Problem:
A loosely knit group of solo and partnership internists had been discussing forming a group for a number of years, but never could quite get it going. Solution: An aggressive local hospital constructing a new medical office building wanted the physicians in it and retained a consultant on the physicians' behalf. The consultant organized a series of presentations to the physicians to clarify goals and benefits that could be expected and how a group could actually be a reality. He then worked with a handful of practices who were most interested, confirmed their suitability, and got them to individually conform to uniform operational protocols that would allow for an easier merger. Simultaneously group discussions were held on the details of group practice. This allowed the participants to become better acquainted and more comfortable with each other and the feeling for group involvement before making the big commitment. They finally did merge, much to their benefit.

Filmmakers Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta are upset about Pakistan's blanket ban on Indian shooting
Filmmakers Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta are upset about Pakistan's blanket ban on Indian shooting
The two 'NRI' filmmakers Deepa Mehta and Mira Nair have never seen eye-to-eye through the camera lens. Or otherwise.
Mira Nair and (right) Deepa Mehta
Considered fierce rivals, both the directors have now joined hands for an unexpected cause. They are united in their fight against Pakistan's blanket-ban of Indian films and filmmakers shooting in their country.
Says a source close to both of them, "Deepa and Mira were very sure that portions of Midnight's Children and
The Reluctant Fundamentalist had to be shot in Pakistan because the novels (by Salman Rushdie and Mohsin Hamid respectively) are located in the country.
To their shock, they were both denied permission to shoot in the country. Deepa had to recreate Karachi in Sri Lanka and Mira had to fudge parts of New Delhi to make it look like Lahore."
Says the source, "Both Mira and Deepa are deeply frustrated and rightly indignant about the menace of political sanctions being imposed on cinematic art. They are waiting for their respective films to be released before they take a collective stand against it."
Recently Naseeruddin Shah couldn't shoot for globally acclaimed Pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor's Bol in Pakistan.
Defending Mira's decision to shoot in Delhi instead of Lahore, Om Puri who has a small part in the film says, "How could we shoot in Pakistan? Every day there are bombings and attacks."
However, the source close to Mira Nair and Deepa Mehta maintains the two filmmakers' inability to shoot on location in Pakistan has considerably dampened their spirits.

State Sen. Shirley Turner recently introduced legislation seeking a moratorium on expanding enrollment for New Jersey's charter public schools. This legislation will rob educational opportunity from thousands of New Jersey's children already in charter schools, and deny more than 20,000 children on waiting lists the opportunity to attend a charter public school. Turner's bill (S-2887/A-4351) intends to incarcerate thousands of students in the generationally failing local public schools that they are trying to escape. We cannot allow this bill to become law — and I will tell you why.
As a New Brunswick Board of Education member since 1998 and as the head of school at the Village Charter School in Trenton since 2013, I know more than most people about traditional public education and charter public education, and I have seen a large district transform over time. In a few short years, the New Brunswick school district has grown from 7,000 students to nearly 10,000 students. Would it have made sense for the Legislature to prevent New Brunswick from expanding? Of course not, because it would have denied parents the right to send their children to the public school of their choice. So, the logic must apply to charter public schools, where it is just as ridiculous to prevent charter schools from expanding and allowing parents to choose a free public education option for their children. Any bill preventing parents from choosing how to educate their child is anti-parent and anti-democratic.
Why would Turner, vice chair of the Senate Education Committee, introduce such legislation? The bill is nothing more than an attempt to limit parent choice in communities of need and stunt the educational achievement of our state's charter public school students. Achievement that is very real and measurable. Charter school students' success is a direct threat to the lucrative franchise the NJEA holds on a public education system that has failed generations of New Jersey children, especially in some of our state's most challenged communities, including Trenton, Newark, and Camden. And this is where we need to address the miseducation of our lawmakers.
Turner commented on S-2887 in a recent Trentonian article, saying, "We need to stop and study this issue before we continue opening up charter schools. From our experience here in Trenton, they haven't been that successful. They claim that they can increase the students' scores and do the job of educating our students for less money, but that has not been the case."
Wrong, senator. The five charter schools in the Trenton area (Sen. Turner's home district) outperformed the district schools as measured by both the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) and New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJASK) standardized tests. HSPA math scores were 30 percent higher, and language-arts literacy (LAL) scores were 25 percent higher for charter school students vs. their peers in the district public schools. NJASK scores show that charter school students outperformed district public school students by 24 percent points in math and 19 percent in LAL. With such progress, it is difficult to understand — even when pressed by the NJEA — why anyone would stop the success of children?
It has to do as much with politics as with the public's degree of disappointment with New Jersey's public schools in urban communities. While costs continue to rise, student achievement, particularly in our urban communities, stagnates. Before we inject more politics into the public-education sector, we must examine proven methods of education so they can be replicated and elevate the level of education for every NJ student — charter, public, or otherwise. The charter school students of New Jersey cannot wait for access to quality schools, access to equitable funding, or access to safe facilities. Currently, New Jersey's law intends 90 percent per-pupil funding for charter students, compared with traditional district students. But the reality is that number is closer to 69 percent due to politicking and the funding formula.
Legislative restrictions and politically motivated attacks notwithstanding, charter-school students are achieving. Charter public schools are producing graduation rates far outpacing their traditional public-school counterparts. The NJEA and their champions in the Legislature cannot allow the one sector of the public education system that is showing achievement, promise, and hope for students and families to flourish if it cannot be controlled by them, so they exert political pressure to stifle the success of charter public schools. A-4351/S-2887 are perfect examples of that is wrong with government. Legislators need to be called on it, and we must push for change that benefits New Jersey's children.

I yesterday please provided us with a preview centers for an ... upcoming live there for many years and now they're saying that ... so he's got no known ... address of people don't know exactly whose family is but ... he's not someone that we are able to talk to on street vendors in the area who said that he would help out doing our job to more understands ... he was charged with murder correct today he was and we might we expect Mr. Davis to appear in court ... hopefully today the next few hours if not unlike word but it certainly into an increase of our son because he has a twenty four hours to rain and ... ALM so could be the sweetest smaller Italian family made statements implicating himself people around the world are unfortunately ... quite fascinated by the story says that it's pretty terrible when the meal and we'll be back soon ... to bring us up-to-date on that to to think it's a match official we now return to Egypt where ... there's a different kind of the bands brewing there for the presidential palace ... in Cairo ... they see some of rock throwing some of Molotov cocktails and the like ... Islam is forces and not as good as the Messiah groups ... I still have not come to terms with the power transition in Egypt Matt Bradley ... in Cairo is here to ... tells about what exactly is happening we've seen these we've seen these images for a long time many months not what's different about the images we seem right now ... right now is Asia I tried changed your over already group ... oh it's ... okay ... well we're actually she she should attend on to that end violence ... in a way that it didn't have ... all current or future because ... of lack ... of ... a political impasse ... arrested ... the local or of ... political progress here the transition to a mark to market a ... bit of ... a revolution almost two years ago ... I know I share it ... so right now the division in the three ... hour ride and I'm already down the street ... from Curtin Richard power ... in the fight between income and ... backers of President Morsi ... as a ... secular minded protesters ... who are objecting to the president's constitutional declaration about two weeks ago ... the constitution that eighteen and like minded allies ... he rushed through and enough wood to put to a national referendum next week ... now that uses these are some disturbing photos ... the beginning from Cairo's says it spread the message isn't a good citizen ... where does this will be ... well it's really not quite clear as you mentioned it is that the region to be picking up after years of age ... when the dough lot while and all the protesters ... and then attaching it to different years either because the back to it ... from ... billion ... to billion while and ... I waited at the request of the wider ... with ... nowhere to be ... I don't really know why it shouldn't get the referendum that I'm actually can quickly go to capture should likely to be approved by the majority of each of the public ... and that can afford to carry on ... nor was likely to return to ... that kind ... of normal due to return ... to ... Egypt into it before the revolution ... now get one with ... a ... chariot ... aam ... social problems and and and and coverage and will briefly mention the toss Mohamed Morsi ... does he make any effort to step in to the tothe beach here and try to calm things what is his ... public view on what's happening ... well ... to my knowledge ... Richie Average dating so far but ... I'm sure ... he'll ... urge the public to ... calm down and with rope from St ... I'm going on across the country but the main house right now if you're an outside Cairo ... the presidential palace ... to a peak which everything to ... go nationwide I went ... to ... all eyes are here and ... the talent ... and having a major psychological activity didn't ... really highlighting ... the extent to which to be sure that we implement and ... Europe ... to want to get into the tool ... table that we're seeing your video right now on screen ... some of the new sub I'm not ready to check for more video and the Vishay WorldStream where we have ... some most of today video of from our reporters around the world will be back a moment to talk about Apple Patents crummy ... day in the markets ... big day for the Big Board of up almost eighty three points some some some solid numbers from the French company's ... market share in Citigroup and Bank of America Nasdaq down I think in part ... because of Apple's upcoming didn't mention in the SNP ... basically unchanged on Scaggs ... tell us ... what we know about the markets don't really at I'm you know it's kind of a same-store and then pretty much for weeks now ... I it's it's really fiscal cliff worries What ... may lessen worried today they're a lot to report circulating that their public and Syria now getting ready to make a deal in some guys broke with that ... the main area ... and are now ready to talk a little bit more ... on and that really sparked a nice rally in the Dow ... um it was funny looking at the Dow versus the SNP were the Nasdaq because Apple really was just a week ... honestly ... I don't know with the final Apple members feed and feed with ... its ... six nap percent loans might be a large number was going on down ... so really it in it's funny because a lot of things are being met and talked about in relation to that and I think that ... I'm ... it's really just a lot into it ... people seem to have lost confidence ... in our and and that it's coming and is also known as also I think the belief Alex that ... maybe it's time to ... now from time to get your winners off the table and for the patenting of that debt is ... one less thing on the market and thus the bond markets we saw the ten year Treasury going on even for the deal on a housing price moves inversely ... now below one point six percent while you think that the fiscal cliff deal was coming to the people of the of the more common traps selling those bonds ... yet what if it does seem like it especially when stocks ... you know ... things are moving very strongly in time to step up if ... you know I and it could very easily prepare for he never reads the city's Vincent de defense depending on how things go right well it's been so much joining us to be sure to monitor the markets ... in the weeks ahead Steve Russolillo ... is here to help us dive into the awful more at six a half percent ... that's pretty darn big number it's fussy for a start the gospel ... Steve of thirty seven dollars of lost today on that stock ... had some ideas the people of this last call finance yes you believe that ... in the short term yes I think so I think that's part of it I think that we've we've seen since the stock peaked in mid September around some of the global survey ... of big selloff down three percent ... the company of Apple's site is ... to convince them trust them to do such a huge move and so you get that moves and then they came back a little bit over the last few weeks but still though ... this is this is a different story than it was two three four months ago when as they give me an answer Why and in all markets ... are opaque and they didn't call it that hard it almost impossible to up ... instead anyone motivation to get Mr basher ... well today specifically the new love people talk about the technicals the so that there's the so-called death crosses on is booming raises a technical indicator with them when it happens you tend to get more declines that have come in the future so ... when people accept the delusionary ... uber Coppins motherhood people talking about margin calls that that made maybe having may not be having sold out what are some rules changing on the margin reserve requirements Muslim data suggests there were eighty s and there are some reports that it still was a little unclear exactly what's happening with that one out there was stories floating around about that and so that just adds to the story here going on at that that the negative story of the school without Apple now please take a step back this is still Apple was one of the solar company that has ridiculously amazing I Phones eye pads of all that stuff ... but even when you consider that though there was a report out of ITC takes aim at ... Apple's ... tablet market share is could get less than fifty percent enjoyed that ... his views on moving up so ... there's all these things that are certain all coming together and paints a negative picture here ... and at this and six the backfill Apple doing well but ... at least in the short term the hell the money and today the new Samsung ... when VC was unable to gassing up to its huge owes almost a tablet unto itself right ... at the bed probably enough for me but I'm pretty darn good competitor right come out to see Apple when its patent suit pretty handily via an over the summer ... of ... can we get a real sense of this holiday season that Samsung another many factors really are making headway against yet ... I think it's something I think that you know the concern right now is that in the past Apple was light years ahead of the competition there was this no question there was and I pad and then when even any details to consider years ago ... now ... all these other kinds of Samsung and Amazon new Micra soft ... they're all making new products better ... maybe not still in Apple's level but they're getting their their wings or as they're getting there that is the meat is OCD by selling stock ... up and got yes ... I'm it's all you've got a buzz in the not synonyms ... that's not good enough we hope you'll change your ways and India the resolution thank you Steve is a little bit ... I just saw from Raymond James ... it it tells about his bullish case ... the stock market in two thousand thirteen local ... hundred ... a really bold ... yes I'm ... okay well um it's been a reason why shouldn't they ... ok so GDP growth in the US ... maybe two two-and-a-half percent ... before locking people up European growth probably negative ... this year ... Asian growth slowdown stock markets probably pretty fully valued right now is that the Dow's thirty thousand ... don't bother seeking ... to tell me why ... all you train your trading if you believe that quarter earnings estimate to train about twelve times forward earnings and a ... historic median is about fifteen fifteen and handsome I think you need a pickup in the economy in the second half ... of next year barring some kind of black swan of them like little The at two hundred dollars a barrel ... I think they're going to have a read the resolution ... on the fiscal ... cliff that everybody's ... eventually them ... to read what I think I think our ... astronaut time NBC has pursued network on the deal I'm sorry ... um ... but I think I think you're gonna get some kind of agreement prior to January first ... and then they'll push the rest of the talent ... um but look at some of the Fed fits into this right now because we're seeing interest rates Renown solo of real investment firm ... called companies to be in the U S ... report ... on hiring still pretty anemic ... those seem to be the ... import ... tool of two very important drivers ... if if your scenario takes place that there really is economic growth ... we gotta get companies spending Ellie getting companies hire ... so I don't disagree with ... the wise men have ... it is happening to them so what are the country here and I was in eastern Ohio in Youngstown ... is an absolute boon there because of the Utica rest for the goes up the journey to New York ... it's going on in the Angels going on the Eagles for its going on I can sell you view as an energy situation ... might help ... I also think the getting the re industrialization of the of the US ... are you getting plants moving back from China into the U S ... corporations in the US effectively have an inflation adjusted zero cost of capital ... now through automation and robotics in you actually have to hire people for their jobs in the future cost of labor moving down ... one of the Casa labor is moving to twisting that happen right now in our lives cross country into a lot of their besetting the author reads them mentors from Kentucky ... well what can we say though about ... actual ... capital spending because with no copies of barring ... and a lot of what the using the money for ... is to buy back shares ... the IMF does not create jobs streets share pool yet and you got money supply growing ants another thing Another reason I think you can see the equity markets ... go up what ... companies are not going to invest ... in cap acts ... of when incomes are declining ... and ten ... and they're not investing cap ex ... has to worry about the financial cliff the CEOs CIO Sino step to the sidelines six months of the word about the presidential Medal ... and the fiscal cliff and get a resolution to the fiscal cliff ... I think it's are seething all had ... to ask the question when bond market ... a few different the deed not the election of ... Barack Obama pretty much assures you can have a low interest rates for the next eighteen to twenty four months on end up in it and it's not over bought right now above the lot I think it's an exit we may have ... to give them the next two years now ok and does ... you are waiting in different areas in the stock market for two thousand thirteen ... D how the matrix that you ... talk to clients about I waging a sense of the overall portfolio via the only the only sector of the avoiding right here are the consumer staples ... because I think you can get a reset of the economy in the one I want the industrials and wannabe in Consumer Discretionary ... Select technology ... I mean you're you're near computers eventually going into your cell phone bill and our brains out so that yet ... on that ... aam and I think this or that our stocks I think are still a good way to get that thing right now I asked our previous guest of tax to make a buy or sell ... you may not be limited by his same ... requirements you have a single stock picked ... or sell that ... you think is the ... kind of got to love and I read a report that email thanks antismoking you later years your health care costs to about twenty percent that if you're obese goes up by fifty percent the baby boomers ... are ... obese and moving into their sixties so ... I think diabetes please have long links is one of the beaded DVA sure it has Soros and and buffet yet yet and there's a new one we picked that covered her mind My fundamental analysts like both of these ... are called that's kind ... of we don't have to your finger ... in its modern and say baby Isabel says company yet DVA Snow's test at the ... time to stop ... think so much we will see if two dozen thirteen ... yields the ... predictions of to confront us today ... in addition to our it will be back to you out talk about this thing called uncertainty ... what do we know about it do we know anything ... stoicism ... speaker Bayer ... of ... took a position ... the day after the campaign ... the service ... up for Warrington ... pray well what we're not going to increase rates ... I just explain why ... we don't think that works ... the president ... doesn't agree ... of the fluff are a proposal that are outlined ... I he's got an obligation ... to send one to the cottage ... the plan they can pass both chambers of Congress ... oh ... we actually have world Fiscal Cliff graphic ... his typical ... of what the big parts the fiscal cliff ... is this question of uncertainty and the uncertainty that hangs over the economy contract that word ... us newspapers ... was still does in the light you probably drowning answered the right now ... David Wessel believes are cracked economics editor and washing DC has explored the philosophy ... and the impacts ... of the word uncertainty David ... tell us are we certain to be worried about uncertainty are we missing something ... president of the word but we're not sure how much ... but here's the deal ... to be some PhD economist with the fancy mall to know ... that when there's a lot of doubt ... about how much taxes you gotta pay a month from now ... it's gonna make some people maybe that everybody ... reluctant to invest and hire and expand ... and there's reason to believe that's what's going on in the economy today ... in my column I have this nice chart a couple of economists ... at Univeristy Chicago in Stanford ... had made with a trimester uncertainty ... now it's hard to measure and one of their measurements is how many times newspapers like ours can use the word so I get so circular ... but there does seem to be a pronounced increase ... in the Madame uncertainty about government policy ... both here and in Europe over the last few years ... and the question is ... is that making a bad economy worse ... or is that just a reflection of how lousy the economy ok so what's the answer ... well the economists say ... it's ... it's making a bad economy works ... then it ... you have a bad economy some people already are reluctant to invest not knowing what the government regime is gonna be makes it even worse ... some people look at the numbers and challenge them and say ... you're just ... looking at the same thing to differ ways ... and it's the real economy that's the problem stupid ... it's an uncertainty about government policy ... one of the cool thing about what we're doing now ... if you're in the economic experiments is for running an experiment ... we know there's a lot of uncertainty about U S government policy ... we know there's a decline or a softening in business investment ... if they actually managed to avoid the fiscal collapse ... if they cut a deal ... will that diminished uncertainty ... lead to a stronger economy in twenty thirteen ... would be nice if we can find out well I think the answer probably is yes ... maybe not necessarily maybe there's a whole lot of other things that are weighing on business ... like they don't think that people are gonna buy their products ... like Europe is still a mess like China is slowing down ... and it's it's not really so much uncertainty it's reality ... is slowing down is the best that sixteen point David um perhaps ... be answered the questions your point ... is masquerading other problems that the executives that night he when Sri labor situation labor costs the situation was competition ... from ... companies around the world what is that doing guys here domestically ... so I'm the thing to see whether anything to substitute for the government's anti that faces us ... on Simandou critics is ahead ... about whether the economy would improve so the deal be reached ... I guess you might guess I guess is that would improve ... but it would be a bowl ... that would lead to weigh on the economy or not least some of the corporate cash sitting on the sidelines ... but it's not return a two percent ... year to a three percent year ... to do but so be sure to read his column ... in the pages of the Wall Street Journal and of course on the beest dot com ... meal was the shipping status ... of the downturn to playing fields of Wisconsin football ... they have a new coach who sounds suspiciously ... like the old coach well the not necessarily ... on the new Pope has been the athletic director of the universe in Wisconsin ... op for his name is Barry Alvarez scenario for instance two thousand pride ... in what he's saying what he told me that he mean come out of retirement ... for one game to coax the Badgers ... are in the Rose Bowl since the Colts ... Brett Gillam is going to Arkansas ... I he was shocked by that decision he did not know about it and this is one thing that could jump start ... on the UW program going into the rules for monetary Augusta's Vale resident Peter a bath ... as the Alvarez Equity coached this game are easy just doing this is kind of of ... executive retreats the son of a final spoil that this'll be area over as is the legend ... and he he credited his creditor with turnaround program is more than qualified to doing could do it he actually was the guy ... that ... recruited Dongmei and he also ... paid very close attention to you you better believe was involved with a lot of the critical this isn't that were just about ok when added to that clip that we ... get the interview with them Mr. Alvarez so if you're a Badger fan a very close attention to these words and see ... if we can define includes ... so many people would like to see you calm content and Colts ... the rules all we do that or can you not soft ... we you know what I had a meeting with the team tomorrow ... of one assure them that ... we would do everything we can ... to to let the seniors club on a positive note ... the daughter of a coach in place ... that that that don't deal with but could ... identify with someone don't join plan for ... um ... will talk about dealing with that game tomorrow more so ... than right now but there there's a possibility that we come back ... full interview on to Vishay dot ...
