My Biggest Worry About This Current Market
Last year we had plenty to worry about in Europe. If it was not Greece, it was Italy. If it was not Italy, it was Spain. The word "drachma" even started to come back into our vocabulary.
Those 29% bond yields in Greece are now hovering around 10%, and speculators in sovereign debt continue to be rewarded. Soaring Spanish interest rates are now under 5% and the equities markets in Europe are breaking loose.
Once we finally got over the sovereign debt crisis in 2012 we had to face a long, drawn-out election process. There was enough uncertainty to go around to last right up until the fiscal cliff.
The fiscal cliff fears finally went away about the same time the ball dropped in Times Square. We are off to a good start so far in January and you know how that goes -- as January goes, so goes the market. We'll see...
The S&P 500 finally broke out last week after a brief struggle with 1,470.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fought 13,660 and the Dow won.
Even long-slumbering emerging markets are emerging once again.
I brought your attention to Fomento Econ (FMX) in an article I wrote here for TheStreet.com in late October.
The stock continues to do fine, thank you!
I remain long the stock in many of the accounts that I manage.
The best asset allocation right now is stocks, stocks and more stocks.

The worst places to be right are cash, inverse, gold and bonds.

In fact, bonds looks downright ugly as the 10-year closes in on 2% and George Soros warns about higher interest rates within the year.
I turned you on to the rebound in housing in an article I wrote here back in Mid-October. Many of the stocks within this sector continue to hit new highs and the sector is still ranked number one.

Check out a chart of an exchange-traded fund that give you immediate exposure to the red-hot sector:
I am not a buy and hold kind of guy. Markets are cyclical and you have to ride those cycles. I have been long the market since the March 2009 low. As long as the primary trend is up, we continue to call it a bull.
The problem is this: There is nothing to worry about right now. We need a wall of worry to climb somewhere. That is what I am getting worried about!

Norma,Thanks, it was my best one so far. I finally got to taste the caramelization of the cheese around the edge. I proofed the dough in a 90° oven because I didn't have much time. It worked out pretty well. I'm still amazed how small changes in the process cause big differences in the finished product.
Gene,Not sure, but I'll bet they are commonly availabale. PM your address to me and I'll send you one of the ones I got! Free! John K
Tonight's pizza. Now off to Showtime for the fight.
JetBoy,The spice amounts look pretty good on that sauce. I would omit the oil and not cook the sauce. It needs cut by at least maybe 50% with water.
At what temperature, and for how long, did you bake the pizza in the last photo, with the wonderful browned bottom crust?Gene
Gene,I baked at 475° for 15 minutes on the bottom rack in my electric oven with an exposed bottom element. That seems to be the sweet spot in my oven for this kind of pie.
We had to go through all 300 pans and replaced only 24 that were too bent up for use. The pans were oiled before every portioned dough was added. This helped keep the dough and cheese from sticking.
Do I understand you correctly, then, that if I want to pursue my dream of opening a Detroit style pizzeria, I will need to buy 300 pans? 150 8x10 and 150 10x14?
Chefcurt,I just have to ask if you recall if Buddy's dough had any salt in it. I have been wondering about that.Norma
Do I understand you correctly, then, that if I want to pursue my dream of opening a Detroit style pizzeria, I will need to buy 300 pans? 150 8x10 and 150 10x14?And all 300 pans were filled with dough in the morning?How many times were the 300 pans refilled during the day - i.e., how many pizzas did you serve per day?What oil did you use to oil the pans?
I tried this recipe (reply #199) a while back and while it was delicious, I wasn't happy with the crisping of the crust - especially in the middle. I suspect my oven may have something to do with it (gas, burner recessed underneath). I have the blue steel pans from Detroit Style Pizza Co. Are people having better luck with lower temp/longer bake time? I also considered throwing the pans on top of my 1/2" pre-heated steal I use for NY?Thanks
Norma,I followed Hog's directions -- "bake on bottom oven rack for 15 min at 475". Pretty sure I went even longer than 15 mins because I could tell it wasn't done, to the point where when I was trying to get it out of the pan it was falling apart because it was under cooked. Can't help but think everyone's exposed electric element gives a huge radiant heat boost to the pan whereas a recessed gas burner doesn't have that.Thanks!
Norma,Thanks -- those links are gonna help. I'm gonna do a test run in the next few days using a pizza stone I have and I'll report back with results. I do have an IR gun so I'll shoot some temps to help figure this out. Got some people coming over this weekend and I wanted to make this again but don't want to have the semi-disaster I had last time!Thanks again
Anyone here from Detroit? Anyone familiar with Buddy's Pizza or Shield's Pizza? It's similar to Sicilian, but not identical. Any idea of what the recipe would be, at least for the dough?

Curious what the resident movie critics think of this movie.
I watched this movie for the first time in about 15-20 years the other night with my kids. Hadn't seen it since I think in the early 90s. I had seen it several times in the movie theater when I was a kid when it came out (8 years old at the time) and also on HBO or whatever it was on when it his cable in the latter part of the 80s.
Gotta say, the movie was still heartwarming and a blast to take in. Was like going down memory lane, and the excitement on my kids faces during the chase scenes or my son blurting out "awesome!" when the Elliott/ET fly on the bike and the kids all fly on bikes in the climax was priceless. Even having seen the movie many times, though never really as an adult, I even found myself still getting a little choked up at the end.
A true testament to me how a movie like this can be 27 years old and in some ways stand the test of time. Sorta like Star Wars as well. My kids love the Star Wars movies even though movies themselves were from my youth.
How does E.T. rank in all time movie history? I read through some of the Wikipedia stuff on it about all the awards it was up for and how a lot of people think it is has so many themes and is one of Spielberg's truly great works. Agree/disagree?

Hunting Down Mythical "Slowness"
I recently met a developer who used Chromium instead of Firefox. Chromium's superior startup speed was his reason for using it.This got me excited because said developer was running Linux, so it was relatively easy to measure cold startup and get a complete IO breakdown.
Turned out Firefox took roughly 23 seconds to start. After much cursing about how I've never seen Firefox startup this slow, I eventually gave up on figuring out what's slowing his startup and instead we measured Chromium startup. It also turned out to also be roughly 23 seconds. The super-slow hard drive made everything slow. Turned out Chromium's superior startup was a myth in this case.
Measuring Startup
As a result of investigating the startup myth above, my kiwi coworkers encouraged me to post a comparison of Chrome/Firefox startup. I am at linuxconf at the moment so I did the comparison on my laptop.
Laptop configuration:
- Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU L9400 running at 800Mhz to amplify any performance differences.
- HITACHI HTS722020K9SA00 harddrive for the user profile and browser binaries
- OCZ Vertex 30GB SSD for system libraries/configuration.
- Fedora 12, Minefield 20100119 tarball, chromium-4.0.285.0-0.1.20091230svn35370.fc12.i686
- sudo sync && sudo sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3 && sudo sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=0 to clear the disk cache inbetween runs
Firefox commandline: firefox -profile /mnt/startup/profile/firefox -no-remote file://`pwd`/startup.html#`python -c 'import time; print int(time.time() * 1000);'`
Chromium commandline: chromium-browser –user-data-dir=/mnt/startup/profile/chrome file://`pwd`/startup.html#`python -c 'import time; print int(time.time() * 1000);'`
Both of these tests are done with an empty profile that was populated and has settled after running the browser a few times.
The following numbers are milliseconds reported by the startup.html above.
Running Chromium five times: 4685, 4168, 4222, 4197, 4232
Running Minefield five times: 3155, 3273, 3352, 3311, 3322
I picked Minefield because that's the browser that I run and the codebase that I focus on. The linux Chromium channel seems to be the closest parallel to Minefield. I did not test on Windows because it is a bit of a nightmare to measure cold startup there.
On my system Minefield is around 30% faster at starting up with an empty profile than Chromium (the difference is amplified by running the CPU at 800Mhz). For comparison of Minefield against older Firefox versions, see Dietrich's post.
I suspect that there is a relatively small difference between the two browsers because we are running into the fundamental limitations of loading large applications into memory (my rant).

Franklin County creates tourism committee
MALONE – Franklin County legislators last week created a new committee to advise the county how to market the region for tourism.
The Tourism Advisory Committee will be a group of nine people who are supposed to "develop, approve and facilitate the implementation of the strategic marketing plan" for the county. The plan will need approval from county legislators.
"We've changed the way we do business as far as tourism in Franklin County," Legislator Paul Maroun, R-Tupper Lake, said as the board passed the resolution creating the committee.
The idea behind the TAC is to use people who work in business or the tourism industry to suggest how the county markets itself, rather than having the county's marketing program be entirely government-driven.
The TAC will consist of nine people: two representatives from the accommodations industry, one from an attraction, one from the recreation industry, one who represents retail and restaurants, one from camping and one who represents a tourist home, inn, cottages, condominiums, vacation rental or a bed and breakfast.
The board also decided earlier this month to add two more members to the committee, both at-large representatives to allow for a wider range of relevant specialties.
That makes nine members, a number legislators like better than the seven suggested earlier. They want all legislators to be involved in picking the whole committee, rather than each legislator feeling the need to appoint one representative from his or her district, as many committees work.
"I like the way this has turned out," said Legislator Tim Burpoe, D-Saranac Lake.
The law creating the TAC states that at least one of the TAC members has to come from the Saranac Lake area and at least one has to come from the Tupper Lake area. Maroun and Burpoe pushed for those stipulations in the resolution, since the southern end of the county – the part that lies in the Adirondack Park – is more reliant on tourism than the northern end is.
The TAC was originally discussed as part of a proposed bill that would institute a bed tax in Franklin County, so the county has a plan for the use of the proceeds of the tax. But legislators said the TAC will be a useful tool regardless of whether the bed tax goes into effect or not.
Each legislator is supposed to bring at least three names for potential appointment to the TAC to their next regular meeting, on Thursday, April 4, when the board will sift through the suggestions.

Albuquerque Celebrates Tree City USA Status
Tree City USA communities have demonstrated a commitment to caring for and managing their public trees
The City of Albuquerque is proudly celebrating 16 years as a Tree City USA community.
The Tree City USA program is a national program that provides the framework for community forestry management for cities and towns across America.
Communities achieve Tree City USA status by meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day.
Participating communities have demonstrated a commitment to caring for and managing their public trees. Together the more than 3,400 Tree City USA communities serve as home to more than 135 million Americans.
Did you know?
- There are more than 3400 communities that are currently a Tree City USA.
- There are more than 500 communities that received a Growth Award.
- Over 135 million people live in a Tree City USA.

On April 17, Secretary of State John Kerry testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Appropriations Committee regarding the Foreign Affairs budget for 2014. In his opening remarks, Secretary Kerry reaffirmed that "America's investment in foreign policy is 'national security insurance.' And there really isn't anything foreign about foreign policy anymore." He made clear that "all of this speaks to why this budget is not just a collection of numbers; it's an illustration of our values and our priorities."
Secretary Kerry provided examples of the high-impact, low-cost work that the State Department conducts to make the world safer, from countering terrorism to feeding the hungry. The Secretary also underscored, "The simple fact is the United States cannot be strong at home if we are not strong in the world, in today's world. This is particularly true when it comes to our domestic economic renewal."
He emphasized that the United States needs to be "more visible, engaged, and strong in certain places...to stoke our economic engines with the trade and business opportunities that are available all across this planet." He explained that is why the Obama Administration is committed to completing the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Secretary Kerry concluded his remarks by outlining how the proposed budget would support the work of the men and women of the State Department. Acknowledging that the State Department operates in a dangerous world, Secretary Kerry said, "We stand for optimism. We stand for opportunity. And we stand for equality. And we stand in opposition to all those who would replace hope with hate, who replace peace with violence and war. That's what we believe."

Henry in the U.S.A. writes:
I'm sorry, but this just reeks of hypocrisy. How can the State Department claim to be "fighting terrorism," when the US has been using Qatar as a proxy to arm and train mercenary armies cloned from Al-Qaeda, drawing upon the expertise of the founder of the American Blackwater mercenary firm? How can the US claim to "Stand in opposition to those who replace peace with violence and war," when the State Department has been utterly intransigent in its opposition to any non-military solution in Syria, or to any other conflict in the region for that matter?
Ray A. in Alabama writes:
Would someone please inform the good Secretary of State that it is being reported in Latin America that during his testimony on the FY 2014 Foreign Affairs Budget he referred to this area as "our backyard". As a Latin American studies major and someone who spent 16 years living in Latin America I can tell you that this expression is terribly rude and insensitive (especially when it is translated literally) and really gets him off on the wrong foot with regard to Latin America. I know that this is a common expression in English that basically means "very close to home" but in fact it implies that it is something we own (which we don't). I have tried to smooth things over with some who have taken offense, but it would be a good idea for him to issue an apology or at least a clarifying statement.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards.

With so many states almost behaving like rogues, it is good to read Mr. John Kerry saying "visible, engaged, and strong in certain places...to stoke our economic engines with the trade and business opportunities that are available all across this planet". Remaining engaged without being visible can also be a good option while US rebalances it's engagements in South Asia and Asia Pacific region particularly. For lesser mortals, rebalancing would mean not putting too many eggs in one large basket but having alternate baskets large enough in numbers and size to match and even exceed ROI from first group of baskets both singly and collectively. That one basket with too may eggs can become a dangerous basket is traditional wisdom.
Roy M. in Costa Rica writes:
Secretary Kerry demonstrated ignorance and insensitivity, unbecoming to a Secretary of State, by refering to Latin America as the backyard of the United States. Whether he knows it or not, Latin America not only is important to the U.S., it also merits respect. An apology should be forthcoming.

Jaime Hernandez: In 2005 the U.S. Mint introduced Special Mint Sets which contained an example of every circulating coin in a special Satin Finish. It appears that the U.S. Mint was more focused on producing high quality Satin Finish coins than for circulating coins. As a result, 2005P and D circulation strike Lincoln Cents were made of poor quality that even examples in MS65 or MS66 quality were difficult to come by in circulation.
Examples in MS67 were very scarce with a few hundred examples turning up despite lots of searching. In MS68 they are very scarce with less than a handful of examples known and none being finer.

Meet the owners of Turnbull Creek Farm and then get to know their two mouthwatering recipes.
Tennessee girl, Tallahassee May was teaching elementary school and living in Vermont with husband (and guitar maker) Kipp Krusa, when she got the opportunity to work on a third-generation organic farm. It recalled precious times spent on her grandparents� Tennessee farm, which had been sold. A sense of loss, coupled with impending parenthood, propelled Tally to reconsider her�life path and re-imagine life for her family.Soon, she and Kipp purchased acreage in Tennessee and made the move after the arrival�of their son, Sawyer. Thus was born Turnbull Creek Farm in Bon Aqua, Tenn. �We are not traditional farmers, in terms of American stereotypes of what being a farmer�means,� she says. �However, we are traditionalists in the sense that we strive for authenticity.� As a family, they farm six acres and grow fruits, vegetables and flowers. Together with John Drury of Drury Family Farm, they formed the Fresh Harvest Cooperative�a successful alternative to the CSA (community-supported agriculture) concept. Instead of receiving a box of fresh produce each week (that may go unused), customers can order what they choose or nothing at all. �We want our work on this planet to have meaning, and for it to nurture ourselves and the world around us,� Tally says. �Our goal is to create a sustainable, real economy, in which we are paid directly and adequately for the good work that we do, by the community that we build around us. It is not always easy, but we are proud to be raising our family this way. And we love what we do.� Here are two sides from Turnbull Creek that are simple and appropriately farm fresh. �Story by Nancy Vienneau, a food writer in Nashville, Tenn Brought to you by: Relish - Free Recipes, Cooking Videos & Articles

What's it going to take? Non PoliticalPosted Saturday, September 17, 2011, at 5:00 PM
I was reading an article today and it set me to wondering what is it going to take in order for this country to reinvest in its infrastructure, given that everyone wants safer roads and bridges, not to mention less congestion. We have already seen a major bridge collapse, not to mention whole towns cut off from outside contact due to failed roads. How many more lives and wasted productivity are we willing to put up with?
Let's take this state for example. Travel around and really pay attention to the roads and bridges. Up to snuff and safe? I know about GARVEE bonds that being issued to be paid for from future payments from the highway trust fund (yea right, it's broke), and we have a pay as you go system that is in our state Constitution.
Pay as you go is great if there are enough funds coming in every year to meet the needs for repair and needed expansion. Problem there aren't. People are driving less, and they are buying more fuel efficient cars, there for less revenue from the gas tax. Same problem exists for the federal highway fund.
People aren't going to stop buying fuel efficient cars when the economy improves, though they might drive more. That's still not enough to make up for the shortfall.
When a major road fails, or a bridge fails, not only may there be a loss of life, but to get it repaired or replaced now becomes a major expense because it wasn't planned for and there is not time for competitive bids. The free market with its charge as much as you think you can get away with takes over.
I understand everyone is hurting now, except the speculators in gas and diesel along with the big oil companies. The speculators are driving up the price of oil, gas and diesel. It doesn't take that much more to refine a gallon of gas or pump a barrel of oil. There isn't really a shortage of oil, unless it is manipulated by OPEC. Oil pumped here in this country doesn't have to be shipped by tanker, but yet we are paying the same price for that oil that is being charged for oil pumped overseas. I find it hard for anyone to explain that, short of just plain old greed.
Drilling for more oil and building more refineries might help some, but even with hardly any regulations, it takes years to build a refinery. Currently refineries are running at 90 to 95% capacity. The shortfall is imported, and the price is set by the speculators. If you don't know how the futures market functions, you may find it very interesting.
I am not advocating taking over any part of the oil industry, but there has to be an answer out there. Enough of that, back to the original question. How do we pay for the roads and bridges that are failing? Making every road a toll road is a possibility, except for residential streets. If you want to use it, you pay for it. That makes for a real nightmare. Increase the state fuel taxes? That would help some, except for those vehicles just passing through. Most wouldn't buy enough fuel here to cover the number of miles driven in our state to cover the miles driven on our roads. Almost any scenario you can come up with smells of a police state in one way or another. How much intrusion are we willing to put up with to ensure safe roads and bridges?
Would you personally be willing to pay a fee based on miles driven and the GVW of your vehicle? How would you deal with vehicles just passing through? How about vehicles delivering goods here and taking goods out of here?
I really don't want this to become a big discussion about how badly our governments handle our money. We already know that, so going on and on about that doesn't help.
Your thoughts are welcomed.
Here is a link to the article I read.

I read the article and your comments. I have several questions regarding existing funding and costs. Where is the money that we currently collect go? What is the priority of spending? Is it what is schedule (maybe that schedule was made years ago?)or what safety issues need to be address now? Or is there a mix? I can show you several new 84 lanes that really were not "necessary" in the Boise area. They were build for convenience. What we must have for safety should come first and what we would like to have should only come if the money is there to pay for it. Why is "road money" used to build bike lanes? If we think in terms of user tax I do not know of any bike lane that autos can drive on. Bikes are not licenced and have no fees that I know of. Bikes users should pay for bike paths, they use them, right? Cost per mile is another issue. I do not understand the high cost. Are the roads build to withstand high use? look at the resurface on 84 eastbound. the truck stop eastbound does not need resurfaced and all the truck go through the weigh station... I do not understand. Oh well, just more Q's but you made me think. thanks

Bike lanes are a result of strings tied to federal grants like the stimulus funds plus a safety factor. I agree bikes should pay a registration fee.The standards for road construction have been upgraded so the roads can withstand the much heavier loads the trucks now carry. 40 tons vs 53 tons. There have been 2 major highway projects in the Boise area. The Meridian Rd to Franklin Rd project was paid for out of GARVEE bonds. That was a real need due to the massive amount traffic and the fact the road was falling apart due to outdated subsurface conditions. The project from Curtis/Overland to Broadway was the same thing. I know this for two reasons. One, I drive them both everyday, and two, one of the companies I used to work for was part of the pre-con before the project was started. The new construction is expected to last 40-50 years with minimal repairs. Hope that answers some of you questions.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA, amen, bazookaman, where do I sign?
I have been voting against incumbents for at least 25 years. That is not a new concept for me. They have all been that bad for at least that long. We are just at a point where we cannot take this nonsense anymore. We are at the end of our rope. It is not Rep vs Dem, it is about what is right and just and what is good for the USA. Until we have term limits... serve your country and fellow citizens then go home, force congress to live by the same rules as everyone else...no special health care or retirement, and spend less then or equal to what we take in we do not have a chance. History tells us that change happens by evolution or revolution... look around the world my friends, we are in this mix somewhere.

Mike, I understand your frustrations. The roads in Idaho are Idahos responsibility and they are in terrible shape and those are the ones I'm talking about mainly. What you say is true when it comes to the funds being stolen from the federal trust fund. Even if they weren't being stolen, the amount provided in fuel taxes is not enough to cover the cost of repairs, improvements and new construction. Too many years of bigger and heavier vehicles and loads have taken their toll, not to mention the growth in population. We can address everything you mentioned and there still wont be enough money to address the years of neglect our roads and bridges have endured. I hope you noticed I stated that even with minimal regulations it still would take years to build new refineries.
I'm curious about your stand on the speculators who are causing the ordinary man to feel such pain at the pump.

Mike, I don't know about the lottery funds and where they go. I wasn't here when it was voted on. I do know that when California passed its lottery, as soon as money got tight, state spending to the schools was cut to the bare constitutional minimum which is a certain percentage of the overall budget, and the 33% from the lottery was included in that minimum. It's all a money game. Only three winners in the lottery, the government, the advertisers and the few winners.

bob, just ask zook where I stand. I'm there also.

Mike, I agree. Problem is that they are defended as free marketeers by the so called conservatives. Go figure. I say if we can't control them, then tax them to death for what they are doing to this country.
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:01 PM
The only problem there, is that for every dollar we send to Washington, we get back a buck 28.

Mike, do you know how the futures markets operate in the U.S.A.?
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:05 PM
Roy, strings, grants, stimulus, federal govt. hmmm, non of these things make it right do they?
Not to argue, but we would probably differ on the definition of convenience. As has been mentioned about heavy loads on the roads, all the heavy trucks pass through the weigh stations (most anyway except prepass)why don't the weigh stations have ruts, etc. Are these roadways built different then the regular road? Glad we agree the bikes should pay some of their way in this world of user fees.
-- Posted by bob8492 on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:08 PM
Futures markets are run by private companies here in the states. Get your barf bag ready. For a few pennies on the dollar a person or company can tie up enormous quantities of oil slated for future delivery. This was intended to promote market stability. It has been perverted by the greed of the traders. When the oil is available for delivery, they own it even though they never paid for it in full and never took delivery. Now they can say, well I paid X amount and I want a 30% premium. They control it, you need it. You have to pay it, or no oil.
bob, the entries and exits are built to a much different standard than travel lanes, therefor the lack of ruts, etc. I don't know how much you have traveled through Ada and Canyon counties in the last 6 years or more. Where the road was widened was only 2 lanes in each direction, and even without an accident, the congestion was awful at rush hour. Take a lane away, and a 1/2 hour trip turned into 1 1/2 hrs.
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:23 PM
1.28 returned for each dollar sent to washington. Then who are we stealing from? Boy, I would send them a few bucks if I could get 1.28 for every buck. But then again I would be stealing from someone too, right?
-- Posted by bob8492 on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:24 PM
Mike, bike lanes cost money to build and can't be used by cars. Who should pay for something they can't use?
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:25 PM
The 1.28 helps pay for medicaid, SNAP, education, etc.
Mike, great idea, but it interferes with inter-state commerce, and that's the feds thing. It's in the Constitution.
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:29 PM
Roy, thanks for the information. I think we are on the same side but if I understand your logic if we build that 4 or 6 lane road to 8 or 10 lanes we would only have a 15 minute commute. To me that is convenience. I worked in the Seattle area for a few years and you might not understand..... just the way it is... when you might go 5 or 10 miles in an hour. What is our priority? If we do NOT have the money do we choose safety or convenience? Are there bridges falling apart? If so the bridge is over something and public safety should come first. I have traveled 84 for several years.
-- Posted by bob8492 on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:35 PM
bob, I came from California, the San Francisco Bay Area, I know all about traffic jams. The 1/2 trip that was, is now more like 20 mins. most days.
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:39 PM
FEDS...THEM... exactly who is that? Who are we talking about?
-- Posted by bob8492 on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:40 PM
Mike, I do traffic control, including flagging. There's nothing you can tell me about the drivers in Ada county.
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:40 PM
bob, the federal government has jurisdiction over inter-state commerce. We were talking about toll roads for out of state vehicles only.
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:42 PM
Mike, have I ever argued with you about that issue?
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:43 PM
Mike, I was talking about the commute from Caldwell, to Boise.

Traffic in the Bay Area is just about as bad as ever.

Just for clairification... Who is the "Federal govt"? We just need to say who that is so we are both on the same page.

I gotta go but I like you guys. You seem to be okay even though I do not agree with everything... and I know my views are "out there" on some things...... but then again, I think some of your views are "out there" too.
-- Posted by bob8492 on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 8:50 PM
alright, amen, etc,etc.
Federal govt. is Congress and we have a say in who we elect as our Rep. We need to control the part we CAN control and that is who we elect... Laws can be changed... which is obvious... To some people when you say Feds... they do not know who that is. Always clarify

Not bad Mike. Did you see what I said about San Jose?
-- Posted by royincaldwell on Sat, Sep 17, 2011, at 9:05 PM
JYD, I did offer some solutions in the beginning, I was trying to see if there were any other solutions that people wouldn't revolt over. Any ideas on your part?

A few years ago, 60 Minutes did a piece on using old tires for road repair. It was an excellent piece, we would have saved billions on our roads and would have had a use for the old tires at the same time.
What stopped it? Contractors who wanted to use asphalt so that road repair would happen every few years.
I like your blogs. I don't know if I agree with everything, but you are very thoughtful and insightful.

Update 4:30 p.m.: Alleged Jewelry Thief In Custody; Police Searching For Stolen Items
Darius Coleman, 28, who allegedly stole silver chains from Carlson's Jewelry earlier today, is now in custody of the Jamestown Police Department.
According to Chris Roberts, co-proprietor of Carlson's Jewelry, a young, African-American male entered the store in the early afternoon and asked to see some silver chains. When the display of chains was presented to the man, he grabbed a handful of them and ran out of the store. According to Roberts, the man ran down Main Street, where he removed the green hooded sweatshirt, as well as the black hooded sweatshirt underneath it, which he was wearing while in the store.
Following the theft, officers responded to the area, but were not able to immediately locate the suspect. However, officers did later locate a subject matching Coleman's description at an address on East Fifth Street.
Investigation into the case led to the subject, Coleman, of Jamestown, being charged with felony grand larceny in the fourth degree.
"The total value of the items stolen is approximately $2,000," said Capt. Robert Samuelson. "There were 18-20 separate silver chains which were stolen, however Coleman was not in possession of the chains when he was apprehended."
Samuelson believes that Coleman was able to pass off the chains before being apprehended, and police are now searching for the stolen merchandise. They are looking for any assistance from the public in locating the silver chains.
"Our investigation is continuing, and there is some work to be done, but the priority right now is recovering the stolen merchandise and returning it to the owner," he said.
Coleman is currently being held in the city jail, and is awaiting arraignment on the charge.
The Jamestown Police Department is asking anyone who witnesses or is solicited by someone selling chains to report the activity to the JPD tip line at 483-8477. All calls will be kept confidential.

Cam selection... 383 chevy, vortechs, heavy car...streetable but fun. 400hp-ish
Got a 59 Chevy wagon, putting together a 383 for it. I'm wanting a good 400 or so HP and good torque... almost daily driven rig. I like a good thumpy cam but want it civil as well.
Looking for advice on a roller cam
383 ci
9 to 9.5-1 compression
Vortech heads
Edelbrock performer RPM manifold
Stree Demon 625 cfm
Sanderson cast headers
1800-2000 stall convertor
3:73 gears w/ 29" tire
Got a buddy happy with his GM 10185071 roller, but he's in another state so I can't check his setup out.
So far...most stuff I've built I've always erred on the side of conservative, and almost always wish I'de gone further.
Any advice appreciated!!
With those mild parts you're going to need to stay conservative to get good power out of it.
I'd use this cam or milder: Howards Cams Hydraulic Roller Camshafts 180885-08 - SummitRacing.com
As you say, I build mild daily drivers. Nothing wrong with your plans , but a 1800 stall is kind of weak. If i was building a performer cam 350, 3.73 rear I would still use a 2800-3000 stall. A 3000 rated converter is only going to footbrake till 2200 at the most. There are so few driving conditions were it will feel loose, or greatly affect mpg. The benefits of a 3000 stall are imediately noticeable from the moment you hit it. If you build a nice street ride you might want to include a more aggressive stall as part of the basic hotrod package.
I used a 4200 stall in a race vehicle . That was a slush box. You could brake to 3000 at least and scream from the hole. A 3000 is totally different.
Do you like pop corn maker cams, or drive in bubblers? Find something you are familiar with.
If your heads are set up for the cam AP72 said It will motor,or a cam like that,,,exact numbers can be matchet to CR,,,,would be a tire melter
cams operating range would start about 1700 rpm in a 383,so that converter would work excellent.
The 3k stall would be nice if you race
What about edelbrock cam. They are good quaility and work well in heavier cars.
Edelbrock.com - Power Package - Top End Kits - Chevy
Look at the power packages above. you will see one for 400 hp or round abouts. It may not suit your needs. But you can see what is out there with good heads and cams. 400 may be a stretch and still keep it running smooth.
I like the howards cam that was suggested as well. But may be a little small to make 400 hp and not as smooth as a good roller.
In this case i am going to recommend a roller cam. As you need all the low end you can get. Roller will give a clear advantage with heavier car and low rpm running.
Edelbrock cams are just reboxed crap- always have been.
And the Howard's cam is a roller.
Edelbrock makes a recreatable package that does what it claims. There are too many poeple tring to be different when it comes to cam selection. The cam and intake are a match. How many diffrent intake types are there? The rest is bean counters looking for a extra few hp.
A roller is only going to be 15-25 hp higher than a flat hydraulic, in the range of a driven car. I have a roller in my 440 4spd and the diffrence was NOT amazing. For the money to retrofit I was robbed. A supercharger would have actually got the job done with a big smile. A roller cam conversion was more than half that cost.
The suggested Howards cam even states 2600+ stall. The plus indicates more than. Stock modern heavy vehicles are stalling around 2800.
And I agree the Howards cam is a bit on the big side, but he wanted the rough idle. A well tuned 383 combo like his though will have no problem with a stock converter- not optimal but you have to sacrifice something to get that sound.
I don't race the car... kinda pointless really. I drive it almost daily, my wife drives it regularly as well.
I forgot one more item... I want the car to get reasonable fuel milage. Hoping to get 15mpg on a regular basis, better on the hwy. That's one reason I'de planned to stay with the lower stall convertor.
Everything in the list above... I already have in the car in it's 350cu.in. mode. The motor has exessive crankshaft endplay though, so I figured since it'll need crank work, now's the time to go 383.
mileage and power are different tunings
even the A/F ratio is different. The longer the duration the cam,the more fuel it will waste at idle.
If you want both(who doesnt) consider fuel injection or swapping in an LS engine. AP72 can help you with wiring and harness questions,and,,,, a 5.3 with little work can produce 340 hp and return decent MPH
Fuel milage isn't really my "focus", or I wouldn't even consider the 383. I just don't want it to be ****ty. I'de still rather have a strong running car that get's 11mpg over an "ok" running one that get's 15mpg.
An LS 5.3 will cost about a grand to buy complete. It comes with a roller cam,heads that flow 225 cfm and fuel injection.You can make an LS 383,,,
If you want a gen 1, 383 then build that with a cam like the one posted or a couple sizes smaller, tune your A/F for 13 to 13.5:1,you will need to spend some money on the carb. Make sure your exhaust is also free flowing, 2 1/2 min
If I'm looking at two different cams... lift and duration being identicle, but lobe seperation being the difference, the wider lobe seperation would reduce overlap... and possibly give better fuel milage, correct?
Is there much difference between a couple degrees (110 vs 112) or is it more noticable at larger spreads like 108 vs 114?
What is the drawback to the wider lobe seperation?
This is one of the cams I'm considering.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hr...make/chevrolet
a bit smaller than the one suggested.

so many variables that its not as simple as spreading or narrowing lda.The intake valve closing and CR need to be matched,even more critical when economy and pump gas are involved.Techinspecter is probably one of the best guys here to optimise intake valve closing times for street cars.
rough way to work with LDA is the narrower angles will have more over lap,rougher idle,lower vacuum.They are usually more advanced icl and make more bottom end power with a narrower power band. A wider lda will idle smoother and make perhaps more top end power or rev/make power to a higher RPM.
super stock engines quite often have a very advanced ICL because of low compression ratio and need to close the intake soon enough to not bleed of to much compression,but those cams are also fairly long duration with significant lift.
Its all mathematical formulas with uncountable combinations possible.
With this car i would go for 300-350 ft tq. Hp is not going to matter much and may even slow the car down if the cam is to peaky. I got my 4000 pound 71 gp from a guy that had tried 10 cams and finally went with a smaller pmd cam factory cam. That made the car run the fastest at the track. The op can save himself the issues of replacing several cams to find something that works he could just get the performer or the torker. Edelbrock provides thecombos that work for little money and big results that act as expected.
The 59 wagon has to be every bit of 5000 lbs. Does it have an X frame? Might want to be easy on it with older frame. 400hp and the tq that comes with it is a lot of pressure to put on the old style frame. It will be fine with street tires and normal fun run type of driving. Some slicks and some abuse at the race track could lead to some major issues. Best to let it spin if you get a lot more power than stock. Especially if it has stock suspension and brakes.

Eve Adams Mississauga—Brampton South, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government has invested over $100 million in infrastructure projects in the cities of Mississauga and Brampton.
As a city councillor for over seven years in Canada's sixth largest city, I led the charge for some of these investments. I can say that this government's help put our neighbours to work and helped cities build infrastructure they could not have built on their own.
Next week, Mississauga is excited to open our vibrant, new downtown square. We are also opening new libraries where children can develop a love of reading with their moms and dads. Soon, our new, modern pools will help keep us fit and the hydrotherapy pool is sure to be a hit with seniors and young moms. I am most proud of the new ambulance station that will provide faster emergency response times.
Canada is coming out stronger than ever from the global economic downturn because of our Conservative government. It invested in communities, gave our neighbours jobs and improved the quality of life with lasting infrastructure projects.

Mr. Speaker, as a new member of the 41st Parliament, I would like to thank the people of Brome—Missisquoi for placing their trust in me. It is time to get to work on the priorities of Brome—Missisquoi.
With respect to Montreal Pipe Line's pump stations, engineers from the National Energy Board have indicated that the company does not have any way of preventing an oil spill outside its facilities.
Inspectors also note that the direction of flow would take the oil straight into watercourses. At least one tributary of the Missisquoi River, which runs through Potton Township, would be affected. We will be following this file closely to ensure that we put the environmental priorities and the health of the people of Brome—Missisquoi ahead of the economic imperatives of major industrial polluters.

Mark Adler York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege and an honour to stand before you in the House today.
I will begin by thanking my dedicated campaign volunteers to whom I owe the most profound gratitude and appreciation. I also thank the voters of York Centre for putting their confidence in me. I promise to work my heart out for all of my constituents.
Like the many residents of York Centre, my father was an immigrant. He survived the Holocaust and came to Canada alone. He came with three things: a number on his arm, the shirt on his back, but, most important, hope in his heart. Canada became his home.
This is why I am so especially proud to represent the people of York Centre, many of whom are immigrants. As a first-generation Canadian, I know their bravery, perseverance and hard work first-hand, but, most important, how they play by the rules. In return, they just want to know that their government will stand up for them when they do.
This government has proven that it is here for all hard-working Canadians. I am so proud to serve under the principled leadership of our Prime Minister. This government will deliver on its commitments and will always stand with hard-working Canadian families.

Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak about the proposed Kensington and area wellness complex, an initiative in my riding of Malpeque aimed at improving the health and well-being of constituents. This complex would offer centralized facilities, such as a gym, museum, auditorium, day care centre, library, meeting rooms and commercial space, among others. The planners developed an excellent model.
I urge the government to support this initiative by re-establishing programs so that the organizers can secure funding for this project. Being told that ACOA has no programs and, therefore, no money is not an option. This project is vital to the Kensington community but, unfortunately, with the cuts the government is making, it will only remain a dream.
I urge the government to support this initiative and others like it in rural communities so that rural Canada can make the advancements it well deserves.

The original Legion was built in 1947 by veterans from World War II who came together with veterans from World War I in a common goal to build a place of their own; a place to relive memories, embrace the camaraderie built in their history together and to commemorate the friends they lost.
Building on the past, the new Legion's home contains the cornerstone of the original home embedded in the front entrance to continue the legacy built in 1947.
In the words of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
The new home for Legion Branch 459 is no disservice to the joy and pain endured by our veterans. We will not forget history and we will not forget the bonds our veterans built. We will continue to build them into our future.
I congratulate Branch 459, its president, Murray Pattendon, and thank my entire hometown for its efforts in recognizing so many people who have sacrificed so much to help make this country the best place to live and work.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate all hon. members of this 41st Parliament on their election.
I would first like to recognize the contributions made by my mother, my family and my volunteers. I would also like to say a special thank you to my constituents, the people of Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, for placing their trust in me.
People voted for change and I promise to deliver. Quebeckers and Canadians have clearly indicated that health care is a priority.
They want everyone to have access to a family doctor and they want wait times to go down.
It is time for this government to take concrete action on the priorities of Canadians and show some real leadership in health care.

Susan Truppe London North Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, as this is my first statement in the House, I congratulate you on your new role.
I thank the constituents of London North Centre for giving me the privilege of serving them as their member of Parliament. It is an honour to be here. I also thank my campaign team, the dedicated volunteers who put in countless hours, and my family for standing by me as I hit the pavement on the campaign trail. Without them I would not be here.
Today in my riding, the city of London will be honouring Londoners who are recipients of the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario. They are: Order of Canada recipient, Hanny Hassan; and Order of Ontario recipients, Dr. Joseph Chin, Gerald Fagan, Elizabeth Hillman Waterston and Professor Gordon McBean.
On behalf of the members of this House, I congratulate the recipients for making me proud and for making London proud.
The Environment

Michael Chong Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, a Boston hedge fund wants to come up to Canada and destroy 2,500 acres of prime farmland and natural habitat in Dufferin county by creating one of the largest open pit mines in Canada.
This megaquarry would stretch three miles across and plunge 200 feet deep, a drop bigger than Niagara Falls. It would impact the Nottawasaga and Grand River watersheds that provide drinking water for one million Ontario residents. It would pump 600 million litres of water a day. That is almost the same amount of water used by almost 20% of Ontario residents.
The Suzuki Foundation and local conservation authorities have expressed concern.
This is an environmental disaster in the making. We need a federal environmental assessment. We also need a federal panel to review the environmental effects on the transboundary waters of Lake Huron and Lake Erie.
These American hedge funds destroyed Wall Street three years ago. Now they want to come to Canada and destroy a beautiful piece of southwestern Ontario. They must be stopped.

I would also like to thank my husband, my children and all of the volunteers, as well as my mother, who has always been a source of inspiration for me.
I humbly accept the mandate that my constituents have given me. I accept the mandate to stand up for our families and our youth, and to provide our seniors with the opportunity for a decent life.
I would like to thank our leader for the trust he placed in my by appointing me deputy critic for citizenship and immigration. It is an honour and a privilege.
I am determined to work with the members of the House, the Quebec government and stakeholders for a fair, compassionate, transparent and efficient immigration system.
The Economy

Rodney Weston Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government did what we said we would do with the next phase of Canada's economic action plan.
Our government is focused on what matters to Canadians, jobs and the economy. To complete our recovery, we must implement the next phase of Canada's economic action plan, a low-tax plan for jobs and growth.
Canada's economy has grown now for seven straight quarters, with nearly 560,000 new jobs created since July 2009. While that is positive news, too many Canadians are still looking for work and the global economic recovery remains fragile.
Canadians gave us a mandate to stay focused on the economy and pass measures aimed at strengthening both our economic recovery and our country. We will follow through on these commitments.

Pierre-Luc Dusseault Sherbrooke, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to rise in the House today to make my first statement as the youngest member of Parliament in the history of Canada.
The first thing I want to do, of course, is to thank the people of my riding for their trust in me. It is an honour for me to represent them in the House.
I am here to speak on behalf of all the people in my riding, and also on behalf of all young people across the country. I received congratulatory messages from hundreds of young Canadians who were inspired by my election, and I plan to work tirelessly to show that we young people have a place in public debate and that we can achieve very good results.
May 2 was a great day for all young Canadians. Since the election, they can count on a strong voice made up of several members who truly understand their reality.
It is finally time to show that every Canadian, regardless of origin, gender, occupation or age, has a place in this important political institution.
Economic Action Plan

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government says what it is going to do and then follows through, as demonstrated by the next phase of the economic action plan. We are continuing to move forward with the economic recovery and we are keeping our promises. Families will benefit from new tax credits to promote arts and physical activities. We will help the regions attract doctors and we will give volunteer firefighters the credit they deserve. Furthermore, we will accomplish all this without increasing personal income taxes. The economy remains fragile and the recent budget will bolster and complete the economic recovery.
Under this Conservative government, Canada has been a leader in economic recovery and job creation. We invite all parties to help Canada continue to lead the way by voting for our budget.
David Colman

Marc Garneau Westmount—Ville-Marie, QC
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House to express our condolences on the passing of David Colman, the Director of the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital at McGill University.
Dr. Colman had a distinguished career as a research scientist, professor and clinician. Under his leadership, the world-famous Montreal Neurological Institute was one of the first to be recognized as a national centre of excellence in research and commercialization.
Dr. Colman initiated a campaign to develop new technologies that have changed the way diseases of the brain are treated. It is due to his contribution that the Institute is becoming a world leader in brain imaging, neuro-engineering and palliative care.
Canada attracts top talent in neuroscience research and treatment, thanks to the vision and dedication of David Colman and his team.
I stand in the House today to acknowledge his immense contribution to science and medicine and to pay respects to his family and colleagues.
Trade and Tourism

Dan Albas Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
Mr. Speaker, our government received a strong mandate from Canadians to focus on completing the economic recovery. That is why we are focused on creating jobs and economic growth through expanding trade and tourism.
Today, we welcome the inaugural China Southern Airlines flight between Vancouver and Guangzhou, China, one of the fastest-growing regions in China and in the world. This new direct service is made possible by the current Canada–China air transport agreement, negotiated and signed by our government. China, as a global and bilateral partner, is important to Canada and we are engaged in a frank, friendly and forward-looking relationship with China.
This new service, combined with Canada's approved destination status, will give more options to Chinese tourists to visit British Columbia and the rest of Canada. It also further strengthens the Canada's Asia Pacific Gateway and will provide Canadians more choices for international travel to China.
Our government will continue to seek out opportunities to expand trade and tourism with countries around the world.

Hulke to resign from District 88 Board
NEW ULM – Board member Jill Hulke is ineligible to serve on the District 88 School Board and plans to resign next week.
Hulke's home is located just outside the boundaries of the school district, which disqualifies her from serving on the board, Superintendent Harold Remme reports.
This fact was accidentally discovered just a few days ago, when Hulke brought one of her children to early childhood screening in New Ulm.
It turned out the Hulke children were actually expected to attend the screening in the school district that includes the city of Nicollet.
The Hulkes live in rural Courtland, not very far into the Nicollet district, noted Remme.
The Hulke taxes have, indeed, gone to Nicollet Public Schools.
When Hulke filed for a seat on the District 88 board, she filled in an affidavit that stated she is a resident of District 88 and has resided at her address for at least 30 days. District officials went by this sworn statement and did no further checking.
Trusting a candidate affidavit is a routine practice, Remme said. In such cases, officials generally do not check further.
The situation is believed to have been an oversight by everyone concerned. Both the candidate and district officials believed the information to be true.
Because of the proximity, the Hulkes are considering petitioning the courts to transfer their property into District 88, said Remme. It is a lengthy process that may take several months.
In the meantime, Hulke will resign from the board next week.
In such cases, the board appoints a replacement to serve in the vacated seat until the next general election. The next general election in this case is in November 2014.
After Hulke resigns, the school board will invite people interested in serving through 2014 to contact the Superintendent's Office and declare their interest. If several candidates come forward, the board will select the one they deem best.
Hulke was absent from a critical school board meeting Tuesday night which selected the next prospective District 88 superintendent. Her absence triggered questions.
Remme is retiring at the end of the school year, and the board on Tuesday selected GFW Superintendent Jeff Bertrang as his prospective replacement.
The early childhood screening took place March 19-21.

4 Crime-Stopping Reminders for the Fall
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Conventional wisdom has it that summer is the "high crime" season, and there is evidence to back that up . Heat makes desperate people even more aggressive, and criminals are usually more active when the weather is warmer, primarily because they may stay outside later.
In addition, teen crime is up when school is out, and more kids looking for trouble are outdoors well into the evening.
But just because summer is over doesn't mean you should let your guard down.
New data from Master Lock , a Milwaukee consumer security company, says crime is still a threat when autumn rolls around, mostly because it gets dark earlier and criminals can operate under the cover of night.
"With busy schedules and back-to-back school activities, it's important for families to remember to keep safety and security a priority," says Rebecca Smith, a vice president at Master Lock. "Now that school year routines are established, it's a perfect time to address safety topics with your family, such as guidelines for social media use and getting to and from home safely."
Here is what Master Lock and Smith advise:
Know where you are -- and avoid being alone. With the sun going down earlier and more kids walking home from after-school activities, make sure kids (and any commuters in the family making their way home from work) stay in well-lit areas and travel with a companion. Most criminals target individuals and shy away from robbing people walking in groups.
Have a "home alone" strategy. With more and more parents working, especially in later hours, kids tend to be home by themselves. Criminals know this and may try to take advantage of "home alone" kids. Besides installing a good security system ( this website ranks the best), it's important to establish guidelines for home-alone children. At the top of that list is to make sure the kids lock the door immediately after getting home; don't answer the door if strangers come calling; and have an exit strategy in case a criminal breaches the house.
Be firm about social media sharing. Parents who are lenient about their kids' social media habits could be inviting trouble. Master Lock says that personal, private data, such as photos and location, raise the risk of being victimized if those items fall into the wrong hands.
Keep valuables in a secure safe. Even after taking all of the above security measures, keep your valuables out of reach of criminals with a safe. This website reviews the best safes on the market, with prices starting as low as $45.

RIM, Nokia, Facebook, Apple: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Research In Motion(RIMM) was a big loser in premarket trading on Friday, tumbling 2.27% to $11.65.
The Canadian handset maker, which will unveil its eagerly anticipated BlackBerry 10 devices later this month, was downgraded to underperform from market perform by BMO Capital Markets on Thursday.
"We are growing more cautious on RIM as we leave CES and approach the launch of BB10 devices later this month," wrote BMO analyst Tim Long, in a note. "While BB10 should be a meaningful improvement, we are not expecting the new phones to stem market share losses."
RIM was also one of the most active premarket Nasdaq stocks on share volume of 166,236.
Nokia(NOK) was also down before market open, dipping 1.12% to $4.40, despite reporting better-than-expected sales of its Lumia smartphones earlier this week.
Facebook(FB) , which hosts a major press event next week, dipped 0.38% to $31.18 on share volume of 574,666.
Apple(AAPL) shares dipped 0.48% to $521 on share volume of 67,206.
Chip design specialist ARM(ARMH) slipped 0.26% to $41.90, while Microsoft(MSFT) gained 0.11% to $26.49.

Strategy: The Secret World of Compliance Auditors
Compliance with various industry and other regulations is difficult to achieve and even harder to maintain. Many organizations find that their thin resources get stretched even thinner as they work to adhere to rules that may or may not make them more secure in the end, and few IT experiences are more fraught with angst than the compliance audit. Arguments about the value of regulatory compliance aside, not coming into compliance with mandatory rules can mean missing out on lucrative contracts and/or being hit with steep fines.
It's a challenge, to be sure, but many organizations are not leveraging a valuable resource in the quest for compliance: the auditor. Smart organizations see compliance auditors not as the enemy but as a knowledgeable resource. To work effectively with auditors, it's important to know who they are, what they need to know and what they are looking for. In this report we will examine the role of compliance auditors and recommend how to work together to achieve a successful audit. (S5270612)

I've been drinking tea for quite a few years and drink all varieties and use many different steeping methods. I used to use tap water and then shifted into Brita filtered water and have been using that until recently.
I purchased a gallon of spring water while I was on a trip and had some left so when I got home I used it for my tea and wow was it different.
I've been drinking mainly blacks and steeping western style and using this particular spring water made the tea A LOT stronger in flavor and darker in color. I then used the rest of the water on a few teas using the same exact ratios as in the past and every tea was stronger in flavor and darker in color, even the white tea became a darker than normal color.
Once it was out I went to the grocery store and bought a different brand of spring water and unfortunately it gave results on par with the Brita water.
I have since found the other spring water again and have been getting the same results; stronger, darker, more flavorful. It's almost like the water is causing the leaves to extract more, or there is something in the water which is changing it.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
