TODAY'S S&P 500 SET-UP – October 3, 2014
As we look at today's setup for the S&P 500, the range is 25 points or 0.42% downside to 1938 and 0.86% upside to 1963.
MACRO DATA POINTS (Bloomberg Estimates):
The Hedgeye Macro Team
Tickers: H, IGT, CCL
H - announced it sold the Park Hyatt Washington for $100 million to Westmont Hospitality Group and Thomas Tan, a member of the Bestford Hospitality Group. The sale price also equates to ~$463,000 per key and 15.0x on last 12-month EBITDA.
TAKEAWAY: We view this as a very favorable pricing on an asset sale for Hyatt.
GENT:MK – has filed suit against Phil Ivey in London's High Court alleging Mr. Ivey "edge-sorted" cards in August 2012 while playing a form of baccarat called Punto Banco at Genting's Crockfords casino in London. Genting refused to pay up, saying the practice is unfair. Ivey, who sued Genting last year, says edge sorting isn't dishonest and he should be paid the money. Both sides agree that Ivey was in the casino in August 2012 and that he won the money. "The issue is whether it amounted to cheating," Christopher Pymont, Genting's lawyer, said in documents filed at London's High Court.
TAKEAWAY: Another legitimate suit or simply "piling on" given the similar edge sorting lawsuit by the Borgata Casino.
IGT -- has reached an agreement after an in-depth RFP process with Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures, which has elected to continue with IGT and upgrade IGT Advantage systems solutions at Grand Casino Mille Lacs and Grand Casino Hinckley, located in Minnesota.
TAKEAWAY: A good systems win/renewal for IGT covering two Minnesota Native American casinos.
CCL – Carnival Miracle will be the first cruise ship to call at Cabo San Lucas since Hurricane Odile hit the Mexican state on September 15th. Loaded with relief supplies provided by Carnival, the ship will depart from Long Beach, California, on October 4th , arrive in Cabo San Lucas on October 6th. During her visit, the crew will off-load several pallets of bottled water, canned food, cereal, sanitary supplies, paper products, personal items and other supplies for local resident
TAKEAWAY: Carnival leading the way back to Cabo San Lucas with an aide sailing.
Golden Week Visitation – Visitation to Macau on October 2, 2014 totaled 151,667 an increase of 9.1% year-over-year while Mainland China arrivals totaled 122,925 an increase of +6.2% year-over-year. The total visitation thus far during Golden Week, Oct 1 and Oct 2, total 288,575 for 9.5% rise year-over-year while Mainland China visitation was 227,494 for an increase of 4.3% year-over-year.
TAKEAWAY: Mainland visitation is particularly disappointing and overall visitation not posting the strong double-digit results forecasted by some sell-side analysts.
Macau Labor Protests – (GGRAsia) Some dealers of MGM China Holdings Ltd and SJM Holdings Ltd in Macau are striking and/or protesting against the casino operators over salaries and benefits. The action started at noon on Friday and will continue on Saturday. The plan includes some staff working to rule, some reporting late and some calling in sick, according to secretary general of labor, Cloee Chao, activist group Forefront of the Macao Gaming. Reuters earlier reported that up to 300 dealers at MGM Macau based on information provided by Ieong Man Teng, head of Forefront of the Macao Gaming.
TAKEAWAY: Labor discord reaching a peak just prior to the busiest visitation periods Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
Neptune Limited Reports Results – (GGRAsia) an investor in casino VIP promoters in Macau, reported net profit of HKD148.8 million (US$19.2 million) for the year ended June 30, 2014, down 93.8% from a year earlier, according to a filing with the HKSE. The firm said the significant decline was due to an "impairment loss of available-for-sale investments of HKD111.1 million" caused by the recent slowdown in Macau's gaming market. That led to a drop in value of an investment made in October 2013 in the profit stream of a junket operator in Galaxy Macau casino. The same reasons required the company to write down HKD88.6 million from an investment made in February 2014 in the profit stream of a junket operator in City of Dreams casino, it added. The firm recorded a 23% increase year-over-year in turnover to HKD710.4 million, but it saw its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) slide 8.7% to HKD517.6 million.
TAKEAWAY: The VIP slowdown negatively impacting the financial results of the junkets.
Steve Wynn to So Cal – Variety.com is reporting Steve Wynn has allegedly gone into escrow to purchase the lower East Gate Bel Air acres Lionsgate Estate compassing approximately 24,000 square foot, 11 bedroom, 17 bathroom (and all furnishings). Mister Wynn's children, not to mention his ex-wife, Elaine, live in Los Angeles
TAKEAWAY: Mr. Wynn continues to build his personal real estate empire.
CMBS Delinquencies - during September improved (declined) by seven basis points to 6.03%. The September late-pay rate is 211 bps lower than a year ago, and thus far in 2014 delinquencies have fallen 140 bps. September saw nearly $1.4 billion in newly delinquent loans, putting 26 bps of upward pressure on the delinquency rate. Loans that cured totaled over $600 million in September, which helped push the delinquency rate down by additional 13 bps. There are currently $31.8 billion in delinquent loans, which is down from $32.5 billion in the previous month, according to Trepp. The figure includes loans that are past their balloon date but are current on their interest payments. During September, the lodging delinquency rate dipped 31 bps and is now 5.06%. Lodging remains the best performing major property type, although a year ago that distinction was held by retail.
TAKEAWAY: Good news and positive developments for the real estate finance sector.
China Macro Readings – September official services PMI 54.0 vs 54.4 in August (weakest official result in 8 months) while New Orders 49.5 vs 50 prior and weakest since December 2008, and Employment 49.5 vs 49.6 prior
TAKEAWAY: Mainland macro-economic data remains anemic.
Hedgeye remains negative on consumer spending and believes in more inflation. Following a great call on rising housing prices, the Hedgeye
Macro/Financials team is turning decidedly less positive.
TAKEAWAY: We've found housing prices to be the single most significant factor in driving gaming revenues over the past 20 years in virtually all gaming markets across the US.
Daily Trading Ranges is designed to help you understand where you're buying and selling within the risk range and help you make better sales at the top end of the range and purchases at the low end.
Takeaway: The value destruction since the print has far overshot any change in the trajectory of the business – which otherwise is excellent.
Conclusion: We're adding Kate Spade (KATE) to our Best Ideas list as a long. We've actually been very positive on KATE since the stock was struggling to break the $5 barrier when the Street thought that (the former) Liz Claiborne was going bankrupt. However, with sentiment turning overwhelmingly bullish, the stock recently flirting with $40 on a non-existent earnings base, and virtually no contention around the story, it was tough to remain as vocal. But all of that has changed dramatically on August 12 when the company printed an outstanding quarter, but botched its messaging around long-term margin targets. Since then, the stock simply can't seem to catch a bid, and is down 33%. The amount of controversy around this name today (down $1.8bn in equity value) absolutely dwarfs the diminimous change we've seen to the economic reality of its growth trajectory and cash flow. The reality is that the core value drivers are in place, and are very much in-tact. We think that the company will earn $1.40 in 2016, which is 40% above the consensus. The company reports earnings around Nov 6, and we're comfortable getting ahead of that event. We'll be hosting a call in the coming weeks to outline our thesis in full detail.
Stock Roadmap. This is a company that should grow earnings at a 60% CAGR over 5-years. The stock might look expensive at 40x next year's earnings. But keep in mind the following. 1) The consensus is wrong. We're 15% above consensus next year, and are probably conservative. It's trading at less than 30x the real number. 2) Earnings should ramp by between $0.50 and $0.80 per year off a base of only $0.28 – for every single year through 2018. That's a CAGR of 60%. What kind of multiple does that growth deserve? Even if you want to argue that it deserves a higher risk premium to account for fashion risk, we think that at least a 40x multiple is extremely fair. If our model is right, that equates to a stock of $38, $65 and $87, and $120 in years' 1 through 4 of our model (50x in year 1 giving way to 40x as it matures).
Still Huge Runway. And while we talk about 'maturity', let's keep in mind that Kate might have been around for a while, but it is still in its early adolescence from a global branding perspective. Kate Spade only did $743mm in sales last year. That compares to $4.8bn for Coach, and $3.6 for KORS. KATE does not exactly want to aspire to be Coach. But the reality is that KATE can double in size and still be only 50% as big as KORS. It's even smaller than Tory Burch, which is likely to go public over the next 12-18 months. Our point is that fashion risk in this space matters most at two points; 1) when a brand is tiny and is trying to gain consumer acceptance. Kate has already done that. 2) When the brand becomes ubiquitous, margins are stretched, and the company needs to find non-core areas to grow. Kate is nowhere close to that point.
That last statement deserves some context. Kate Spade is nowhere near the point where it needs to grow outside the core. But the reality is that it is with its Kate Spade Saturday brand. Quite frankly, we couldn't care less about Kate Space Saturday. It only has 10 stores today, and generates about $20mm. That's only about 1.8% of sales. It simply does not matter as it relates to the growth runway in Kate Spade New York. But the reality is that the company is investing in the concept, which is likely to pressure margins (this is what largely drove the stock down after the print). So even though it's irrelevant to our thesis, the fact that the company is backing it financially means that – to an extent – we need to care about it.
Margin Targets. Here's the statement from the COO that sucked the oxygen out of the room on the conference call.
"With respect to our 2016 targets, which we outlined at our Investor Day last year, we expect to achieve an adjusted EBITDA margin of 25% for the former Kate Spade segment. Given the longer-than-expected Kate Spade Saturday ramp-up coupled with our revised 2014 margin rate outlook and because of our limited visibility into 2016, we feel that it is responsible to re-evaluate the timeframe of achieving this goal, which we will perform as part of our annual business planning process later this year. We will assess whether any short-term adjustment to the timeframe is warranted, and we'll update you in November during our third quarter earnings call. To be clear, if a short-term adjustment is even necessary, we expect the most likely adjustment would be a shift to 2017. This is all the commentary we will have on this topic today, and we will not address this further during the Q&A."
This wss one of the worst commentaries on a company's outlook that we've ever heard. This is a company that had just crushed the quarter with the stock up 12% pre-market. Here's a couple of thoughts on the margin target.
1) Yes, margin targets will very likely get pushed out by a year. But we don't care. What the company should have said is "We're probably going to hit our 2016 revenue target two years early because of how well we're executing on our plan. Growing the footprint of our brand(s) is our top priority, and if we have to give up 2-3 margin points in order to achieve our goal, then we're perfectly happy to do that." That's good offense. They played bad defense. But we think they since got the message.
2) Consider the following math: Previous target from the company was $1.2bn in revenue at a 25% EBITDA margin. That's $300mm. If we take down margins by 300bp and apply to where the top line is likely to come in ($1.9bn), we get to $418mm. That's 40% higher EBITDA than previous guidance suggests. That would have been valuable information to include on that last conference call.
3) There are many people that will differ with us (the market certainly does) but we simply don't care a whole heck of a lot about margins right now. The margin will come. For now we want pure unmitigated growth. If this was Coach, Kors or any other mature company, then margins would matter a lot more to us. But for a company that can triple its revenue base in 4-5 years, we're a lot more inclined to focus on the top line, and will usually (within reason) support the costs that might go along with achieving those goals.
Earlier today the Hedgeye Macro Team, led by CEO Keith McCullough, hosted its quarterly Macro Themes conference call in which it detailed the THREE MOST IMPORTANT MACRO TRENDS it has identified for 4Q14 and the associated investment implications.

After removing BLMN from our Best Ideas list as a short back in May, we now find ourselves turning constructive on the name, albeit for atypical reasons. The company continues to operate what we believe to be an unsustainable business model, comprised of a portfolio of five different casual dining brands. Furthermore, the fundamentals of the company – decelerating same-store sales, cost of sales inflation (beef, seafood, dairy), margin deterioration and little brand momentum – remain unattractive. The value, however, is there and we suspect management will be forced, or tempted, to unlock it one way or another. With casual dining sales improving, brand initiatives underway and an inflection point in cost of sales approaching (could become a tailwind in 2015), we believe now is an opportune time to get long the stock.
The street is bullish on BLMN for reasons we don't necessarily agree with as 73.3% of analysts rate the stock a buy. Short interest is also fairly low at 4.67% of the float. At 7.7x EV/EBITDA (NTM), BLMN trades at a discount to its peers, reflecting structural issues, lower margins and a high debt-to-EBITDA (~3.6x).

Exploring The Nature And Impact Of Gestation-Specific Human Capital Among Nascent Entrepreneurs
This article explores the nature and impact of gestation-specific human capital on successful start-up among a random sample of Canadian nascent entrepreneurs. Although much is known about the relationship between individual-level factors and the probability of becoming a nascent entrepreneur, the same cannot be said for the relationship between individual-level factors and success in starting a business. Previous studies of existing business founders indicate that general human capital (education and work experience) plays a role in opportunity identification, but at best plays a very weak role in opportunity pursuit. In light of these findings we sought to identify elements of human capital that would be specific to gestation–previous start-up experience, completion of classes or workshops in starting a business, and financial management capability (FMC). In documenting these elements, we found the majority of the sample had not taken any classes or workshops on starting a business, were novices to the start-up process, and were characterized by a wide range of financial management capability. Among those nascent entrepreneurs who succeeded in starting a business, FMC was found to be associated with sustainability. We conclude by discussing implications for researchers.

Really basic
The room was nice for £25, especially the TV was a quality one.
But good luck if you got noisy people in the room next to you, never experienced thinner walls anywhere. It was ridiculously loud. You could've had a conversation with the person in the next room without raising your voice, the walls are that thin. So didn't really get any sleep from a budding rapper in the next room. The rooms are ok if there's nobody in the room next to you, but I wouldn't risk it anymore.

Hopefully by now you've had a chance to visit Empower Up and meet some of the dedicated staff and volunteers that make this amazing program possible. If you haven't, try to make time soon. This program has so many facets, it's hard to explain them all. Some of the many wonderful things they've done with unwanted technology (computers, printers, etc.) include: donating video game systems and games to Marshall Center, after the center was burglarized, Donating 13 computers to local non-profits in the month of January alone, countless classes and internet cafe hours... trust me, the list goes on and on.
I also happen to know that Yours Truly sent on the wish list for the Southwest Washington Humane Society to Empower Up and they were able to help with some of their technology needs as well. What a wonderful example of great programs helping each other out, right here in Clark County.
Empower Up can always use donations-your supplies and dollars go a long way toward ensuring that EU will be around for many moons to come and will continue to support our community in the amazing ways that they do.

Somewhat of a loner, had rather fix something myself by myself than have someone else do it and it not be done how I wanted it.
I like listening to country music and old rock, and watching a lil TV at night when I get a chance to relax. Love camping, be it in a tent or my Travel Trailer, I have done both, like the outdoors, not much into hunting or fishing, but want to fish some when I retire. Not really a boat person, but do like to ride motorcycles but just sold mine so in the market for another one.

An historical novel, not to mention a science fiction novel by Connie Willis. The winner of both a Hugo and a Nebula award, it is (SPOILER WARNING) the incredibly depressing story (although also uplifting for its portrayal of the human spirit) of Kivrin, a young Oxford student who travels through time back to what she thinks is the 1320's. Instead, she discovers that she is in 1348, the year that the Black Death came to England. As she tries to save a village, and in the end can save no one at all, she realizes the common humanity within all people. This book is full of religious symbolism, and the story has many more levels of depth than I did justice to above. This is, in my opinion, one of the greatest novels of all time, and I recommend it for anyone who doesn't want to learn their history from textbooks with all the humanity taken out of them.

Speedo Tri Pro Wetsuit The improved VORTEX Stroke Panel 2.0 technology increased the power delivery of every swim stroke during your swim. The new forearm panels activate and expand during then pull phase of the stroke, allowing a better hold on the water. Drag is increased by 30% compared to previous models, which creates more energy transfer to the forward propulsion. The panels then de-activate in the recovery phase of the stroke allowing for a regular arm recovery. The full flexibility offered by the TR-PRO allows the athlete to focus on the stroke without the restrictions of a traditional wetsuit. This is achieved using strategically placed super stretch panels. An increase in the thickness of the upper rear leg panellingprovides position zero buoyancy. This gives you Speedos fastest body position yet and an improved natuaral buoynacy enhancement of 15% on earlier models. Ribbing on the lower leg means and increase in the propulsive surface area, providing a greater traction in the water and improving the acceleration when needed to gain speed and distance. The newly designed shoulder panel is better positioned to stay in place, whilst moving with the contours of the shoulder to increase shoulder articulation and further release stroke power. Selected areas are coated in Yamamoto SCS for reduced water friction. Yamamoto Aerodome panels are incorporated in the hip area to help achieve the optimum swim position.

ARLINGTON, Va. — At Arlington National Cemetery, honoring 150 years of sacrifice can take just about three hours.
That's usually how much time the soldiers of the 3rd U.S. Infantry, known as the Old Guard, need to place hundreds of thousands of American flags at the gravestones and niches of service members interred at the cemetery overlooking the nation's capital from Virginia.
PHOTOS: Old Guard Places Flags at Arlington National Cememtery
Across the Potomac River, in Northwest Washington, members of the Old Guard also place flags at the graves of those buried at the U.S. Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery.
"Our son participated in this today!" a parent commented on the Old Guard's Facebook page. "So proud!"
There are more than 260,000 gravestones and about 7,300 niches for cremated remains at Arlington, established in 1864, and more than 14,000 veterans are interred at the Soldiers' and Airmen's Cemetery, established in 1861.
The annual "Flags In" project takes place just before the Memorial Day weekend. It has been a part of the mission of the Old Guard since it was designated the Army's ceremonial unit in 1948, the cemetery's website says.
On Thursday, members of the Old Guard placed their flags under sunny skies and warm spring temperatures. After Memorial Day, the soldiers sweep across the sea of graves once more to remove every flag before the cemeteries open again to visitors.
"I will be there this weekend to see my father," a veteran's daughter said in a Facebook post. "Thank you, Old Guard!"

The Middle East is living, breathing proof of an old maxim: you don't know, until you go. Forget the headlines and the hyperbole; this is the cradle of civilisations, an ancient land emerging as a modern power, with the money, culture and panache to back it up. Ride camels with Bedouin tribespeople across the dunes of the Sahara, haggle for gold in the souqs of downtown Amman, cruise the Nile beneath the white sail of a felucca or float forever in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Wherever you go, three things will follow: the faint scent of cloves and camel, the echoing call to prayer and the smiles of people that call this place home.

In Part IV of this series, I covered the long-term judge. I discussed how to become a great judge, by simply having an open mind, and how to become the worst judge, by having a closed mind. I also discussed how to get the curmudgeon judge to achieve judicial greatness, by embracing judicial education.
This article will explore the process by which trial judges reach decisions. It is not an exhaustive discussion but rather an overview. The process is indeed complex and will take some time to detail. However, I must stress that, on a daily basis, thousands of state and federal trial judges, strive to reach a right, just, and proper decision.
There is a difference between right, just, and proper. A right decision engages the law, and thus, it must fit within the law. A just decision is one that is consistent with the judge's concept of justice, but it may not necessarily fit into the law. And, lastly, there is a proper decision, which incorporates both law and justice and all procedural safeguards.
Diverse Judges - Diverse Decisions
At the outset, we must acknowledge that all judges are unique. A variety of factors such as: a judge's DNA, culture, race, religion, gender, potential disabilities, and sexual orientation make each judge different. Therefore, his or her decision will not be influenced in the same way nor will they follow the same procedure for making their decisions.
A judge's assignment may also influence the decision. For example, a judge in the criminal division may view how he or she must decide cases differently from a judge who sits in the family division. Also, domestic violence cases are different from contract cases, just as juvenile cases are different from accident cases.
Legal Realism And Judging: A Theory That's Fits
Against the backdrop of these characteristics, many, many legal theorists claim to know how judges make their decisions. Although there is no way to prove such claims, I believe the theory of "legal realism" most adequately explains how judges decide cases.
Basically, legal realism is a theory that suggests judicial decisions and the law derive from public policy. When deciding cases, judges refer to public policy as well as draw on their own common sense, wisdom, reason, intuition, and experience. Rather than focus on formal rules and procedures, their decisions are tinged with their own psychological, sociological, economic, and historical realities. Legal realists believe that this is the best approach for achieving just and proper results.
There are other discrete and subtle factors that may affect a judge's decisions. Some factors include the deep and personal biases and prejudices that some judges have concerning some aspects of life. These biases may spill over into certain cases. For example, a judge may have had a difficult childhood, which may affect his or her decisions in family law cases. Others may have been victims of family violence. Others may have family members that are drug-addicted or alcoholics. All of these factors can color a judge's decisions and are the type of influences that might be expected from judges adhering to legal realism.
However, a judge's awareness can combat these factors from becoming part of a judge's decision. Since there is no predictability for how these personal biases will affect a decision, a judge cannot do anything other than be aware of these factors. If aware of their own biases, most judges will not hear the case, and those who decide to hear the case will try to set the biases aside.
Newcomer Judges - Experienced Judges
Next, it is important to understand that a judge's length of time on the bench may also affect decision-making. At the beginning of their careers, most judges are overwhelmed by the process of sitting in judgment of people. They are also overwhelmed by the system, its rules, laws, and the sheer number of people it takes to get any decision carried out. Needless to say, there is a learning curve that is extremely steep and often hard to master.
This difficulty is eased for a judge who learns the art of management. With so many people involved in the system (including parties, lawyers, clerks, court reporters, case managers, corrections officers, psychologists, experts, department representatives, guardian ad litems and others), the judge is confronted with a daunting array of management issues. Information from these people enables the judge to decide issues, but the sheer volume of information often impedes the decision-making process.
At some point, the judge must shut off the information flow and begin the decision-making process. Oddly, the judge may have shut the information gathering process down, and started making decisions before gathering all the information. In other words, the judge may often have made up his or her mind before actually hearing the entire case.
With the newcomer-to-the-bench judge, deciding cases is not second nature. The process is often an agonizing one where the judge fears making a wrong decision. He or she fears the decision's ramifications on peoples' lives. He or she fears looking and sounding dumb. He or she fears being reversed. Some of these fears never go away, but eventually the newcomer will get into the swing of the job. The demands of the job will affect his or her mind and body (yes, the body: sleep, stamina for heavy caseloads and personal time deprivation). Then, once the newcomer gets into the swing of the job, his or her decisions will often become predictable. The newcomer will approach problems from a uniform perspective and will often forget to look outside the box to the bigger picture.
The experienced judge is one who has been around a long time. This judge has learned the ropes and most certainly does not want to re-invent the decision-making wheel. This judge most certainly will resist the need to learn a new way to do things. New decision-making concepts take time, and the experienced judge knows that time is precious. Hence, the experienced judge makes his or her decisions quite swiftly and moves on to the next case.
Yet, the experienced judge, by necessity, has learned how to be an effective decision-maker. In becoming an effective decision-maker, the experienced judge has learned to synthesize the elements of law, procedure, and fact-finding. In doing so, he or she has honed in on truth and incorporated law into the decision-making process. This process leads to excellent informed decisions.
Avoiding Reversal
As previously mentioned, the fear of reversal makes the appellate court a big factor in the decision-making process. Trial judges do not like to be reversed. After all, they have worked hard at making a great decision (in their mind) and feel that it should stand. They do not like the higher court telling them that they have made a wrong decision. In order to combat this event, they are careful about the record.
The record becomes the great equalizer. At some time in the trial judge's career, practically all trial judges will learn what the sting of reversal feels like. Once stung, they become cognizant of the record and try to avoid reversal. In avoiding reversal, they may make a decision that is legally correct or right. However, this decision is not necessarily one that is just.
Therefore, the judge may face a conflict between following the law and justice. This does not mean that these concepts cannot overlap, but it does mean that sometimes following the law and justice do not intersect. In that situation, the judge has to be creative in making a square set of facts fit into a round hole of justice. If deft and clever, the judge can accomplish both law and justice while at the same time avoiding reversal.
For some judges, the fear of reversal may dominate the decision-making process to such an extent that they may neglect other important factors. Some rely heavily on personal experiences and biases without worrying about the possibility of reversal. Others focus too much on first impressions. Despite all of these considerations, it is important to remember that the most important force driving a judge's decisions is the desire to do the right thing and make proper decisions.
Good Impressions - Bad Impressions
Another important consideration is the mighty "human factor." In this section, I am discussing the idea that we are all human, especially in our vulnerability to making judgments colored by first impressions.
Within the first few seconds of an encounter, a judge, like any other person, makes several observations. He or she observes a litigant or an attorney's appearance, demeanor, mannerisms, and body language in the courtroom. Once this first impression is made, it can become hard to reverse. This can be critical because judges often start forming opinions about each witness's credibility from the beginning.
As a former trial judge, I will admit that at times it is hard to see past the surface and judge solely on the facts of the case when a litigant or an attorney makes a bad first impression. This is because when a person makes a bad impression, the judge may stop paying full attention to the litigant or attorney, which can be detrimental to the case.
Yet, there are ways to avert the closing of a judge's mind by getting him or her to set aside first impressions. For example, the judge will treat you better if you are respectful and dress well, instead of looking as if you rolled out of bed. It is not appropriate for a litigant to show up in court wearing flip flops, a tank top, and baggy shorts. Also, if you are deferential to the judge, and not argumentative and rude, the judge will treat you better. My Aunt Ruth Rome always says, "catch flies with honey."
Despite my belief in the importance of first impressions, litigants and attorneys should not worry about a judge using his or her first impressions as the sole basis for deciding the case. In fact, trial judges must be careful and cognizant of what they say in the courtroom because what everyone says is transcribed to form the record. Hence, the record, as mentioned previously, remains a particularly strong factor in the decision-making process.
The Process Leading To A Final Decision
Now, I will begin detailing the process of how trial judges actually decide cases. For starters, we are reminded that all judges want to do the right thing. All judges want to do justice. Yet, sometimes the prospect of doing justice seems difficult when the judge is faced with a complex case.
Often, a judge may not wholly understand the facts. It is scary to think that the presiding judge controls the fate of the parties without having ever been in the same shoes as the parties. In other words, imagine watching a foreign language movie with English subtitles. The subtitles do not always accurately reflect what is said in the movie. The viewer might not have a full understanding of exactly what has happened in the movie, but then he or she will come to a conclusion and decide whether or not he or she liked the movie.
This situation happens quite often. Judges may not fully understand the case, but they will have to make a decision on how the case should be resolved. Thus, judges try hard to figure out exactly what is going on in a particular case before formulating any opinions. Different procedures are present depending on whether the case is civil or criminal. However, the conscientious judge will carefully review the documents and pleadings.
Then, the judges will acquaint themselves with the law applicable to the case. After that, the judge will start to listen to the testimony. However, sometimes witnesses are unavailable, which creates gaps in the facts. This means the judge necessarily has to fill in the gaps to make a reasoned decision.
Most judges systematically approach each case before making a decision, but some make judgments without employing a method. This is perhaps because the judge has already seen a case with similar issues and is convinced it should be resolved in a certain manner. Some judges even formulate opinions before a case proceeds to trial and may gloss over evidence contrary to their opinion.
The judge often has the opportunity to sort through the evidence before the case ever gets to trial. For example, a civil judge may hold evidentiary hearings, pre-trial conferences, and summary judgment hearings. A criminal judge may also hold evidentiary hearings on motions to suppress, motions in limine, motions to dismiss, discovery issues, and many other issues.
There is no substitute for good lawyering to steer the judge towards effective decision-making. The astute lawyer will make sure that gaps in information and the law are cleared up for the judge. Although the judge may make a decision that is contrary to a lawyer's position, it can still be a very well-informed and cogent decision.
When making that final decision, judges may use different approaches. Some judges see the law as black and white. Others find a way to fit a square peg into a round hole. Some judges focus on avoiding reversal. Other judges think their decisions are always one hundred percent correct. Even if their decisions are not correct, they may spend an inordinate amount of time rationalizing them.
Regardless of the approach, judges understand the importance of their decisions. They understand that they are expected to remain neutral. They understand that a party's fate lies in their hands. They understand that they must strive to do the right thing and then serve justice with their decisions.

Daniel Craig's blood-stained shirt from Casino Royale and Q's travelling-case from A View to a Kill will go on show in the first major exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond.
There are lots of images of the novelist looking dapper in black tie – even reading a copy of his own book For Your Eyes Only in 1960 – along with a desk and chair from his Jamaican home Goldeneye, where he wrote the Bond novels.
Exhibits include a yellow helmet worn by Drax's men in Moonraker; a cello pierced by a bullet from The Living Daylights; a spear-gun from Thunderball; a transparent bomb from The World Is Not Enough; a prototype of Rosa Klebb's flick-knife shoes in From Russia With Love; the golf shoes worn by the titular baddie in Goldfinger; a wing-mirror dart-gun from Live and Let Die; the heart transplant unit used for smuggling diamonds in The Living Daylights; the overcoat worn by Sean Connery in Dr No; and a picture of Halle Berry in an orange bikini in Die Another Day.
The Imperial War Museum exhibition honours this year's centenary of Fleming's birth, and examines the novelist and 007 in their historical contexts.
"We don't get much back-story until the last book, You Only Live Twice," says James Taylor, the co-curator. "There are snippets in other books, but it's clear that Fleming and Bond are not the same person. Bond is Fleming's fantasy. There are parallels between them – both are orphans [Fleming lost his father just short of his ninth birthday], Old Etonians, fluent in German and French and have Scottish blood – but the comparisons stop there."
Fleming had a desk job in naval intelligence from 1939 to 1945, but he didn't see much action, unlike Bond. His favourite food was scrambled eggs – a far cry from Bond's gourmet taste.

I am certainly not surprised to see people holding different views, and sometime could be quite different. The purpose of discussion is not try to uniform people's mind, but to expose the diversity. I only read couple of lines here and there. Let me just pick on one thing I have read: "First the trivial. Let's take something simple, like day and night. They are different, aren't they? Well, where do you divide the evening between them? " My OO view is that, time is a class. It has certain properties like year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. Different point of time is just an instance of time, which holding particular property values. Day and night, or the line between them is unrelated here. There is nothing make me feel the need to perceive day as a class, and night as another class. or even day as an instance or night as another instance.

Secret - Easy way to dodge Dragoon
by Z-Rex Jul 18, 2011
Right after the character with all 3 Dragoon pieces leaves the screen, hold your shield and rapidly and repeatedly move left or right. If you are near an edge you will not fall, and will most likely dodge the attack. Do not try to use only the shield because damage will be done. |

Secret - How to win a brawl match with fire or bomb shooting characters
by needhelpIcouldhelp Nov 02, 2009
Warning: You might NOT always win with this because, when you make an explosion in this cheat if you touch the explosion you can get a chance to get KO'd. The cheat: First, go to the "Rules". Next, go to the item switch. Then, set it on "High" and, put all of the items off and just put the "Blast Box" on, "on". Finally, brawl and when 3 blast boxes appear get the blast boxes together with each other (almost like attached) and when the CPU gets near the blast boxes do fire or shoot a bomb on a blast box and step get far away from the blast boxes (to avoid their explosion) and the CPU will get 30, 60, or 90 damage! And, if your lucky they will get KO'd! |

text:
After playing nearly flawlessly the two weeks prior, Russell Wilson struggled for North Carolina State against Virginia Tech. He still threw for 362 yards and three touchdowns, but the three interceptions he threw were costly for his team.
In that same game, Darren Evans ran wild for the Hokies, totaling 160 yards and two touchdowns on just 15 carries in place of the injured Ryan Williams. But the conference�s biggest performer at running back was Clemson�s Andre Ellington, who ran for 107 yards and three touchdowns against the Hurricanes.
Leonard Hankerson matched Ellington�s touchdown total for the Hurricanes while catching seven passes for 147 yards, leaving him with six scores in 2010. While that went on, Duke�s dominant duo at wideout, Donovan Varner and Conner Vernon, combined for 14 catches for 227 yards against Maryland.
Big 12
Although Ryan Broyles was quiet against Texas, DeMarco Murray had no trouble putting up big numbers as his Sooners topped the sinking Longhorns squad. After running for 115 yards and two touchdowns in the game, Murray has 10 total touchdowns this year.
Baylor�s Robert Griffin went nuts against Kansas, throwing for 380 yards and three touchdowns while running for 64 yards and a touchdown. Jerrod Johnson was far less impressive for Texas A&M, throwing four interceptions for the second week in a row.
Oklahoma State�s Justin Blackmon continues to dominate at wideout, as he caught 10 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown against the Aggies, giving him nine scores on the year.
Big East
It�s officially a crisis for Dion Lewis owners, as he missed Saturday�s game with a shoulder issue and his (former?) backup, Ray Graham, lit up Florida International for 277 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
It was business as usual for Connecticut�s Jordan Todman, who sliced through Vanderbilt for 190 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Meanwhile, Bilal Powell kept dominating for Louisville, totaling 222 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns against Arkansas State.
Although his team suffered an unbearable homecoming loss against Tulane, Mohamed Sanu continues to show why he�s one of the best players in the country, posting 191 yards from scrimmage and scoring twice for Rutgers.
Big Ten
It might be possible to contain Denard Robinson, but the Michigan quarterback hasn�t slowed down yet. Indiana was the latest victim, with Robinson burning the Hoosiers for 277 yards and three touchdowns through the air and 217 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
Ben Chappell almost was able to keep pace for Indiana, throwing for 480 yards and three touchdowns. Although Damarlo Belcher has been excellent this year, it was Tandon Doss who was Chappell�s main partner in crime, finishing the game with 15 catches for 221 yards.
Meanwhile, Dan Persa still looks great for Northwestern. He threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns while running for 99 yards against Minnesota.
Conference USA
East Carolina was overmatched when they took on the Tar Heels, but Dwayne Harris showed that he could hold his own against a superior North Carolina defense. He only produced 64 yards on eight catches, but his 39-yard touchdown pass made it a serviceable fantasy outing.
Elsewhere, Aldrick Robinson scored for the third week in a row, catching six passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns as SMU took down Rice. He now has six touchdowns in the last three weeks.
Of course, a big game for Robinson usually means a big game for Kyle Padron, and Week 5 was no exception. Padron lit up the Owls for 371 yards and three touchdowns through the air.
Army�s Trent Steelman was the star among the independents in Week 5, as he ran for 65 yards and four touchdowns while throwing for 124 yards and another touchdown against Temple. Meanwhile, Navy�s Ricky Dobbs continues to disappoint badly, as he didn�t score and threw two interceptions against Air Force.
Notre Dame receiver Theo Riddick is emerging as a top player for the Irish, as scored for the third game in a row and totaled 69 yards on nine catches against Boston College.
With Bernard Pierce sitting out, Temple�s Matt Brown went bonkers against Army. He ran for 226 yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries, and now Temple just might have a parallel of the Dion Lewis/Ray Graham controversy in Pittsburgh.
Although his quarterback situation is a mess, Toledo�s Eric Page kept the chains moving against Wyoming, catching six passes for 101 yards. If Page ever gets some help from the players around him, watch out.
The same is true for Eastern Michigan�s Kinsman Thomas, who continues to demonstrate that he�s one of the nation�s most underrated young wideouts. He caught five passes for 57 yards and a touchdown against Ohio, giving him 14 catches for 319 yards and four touchdowns in the last four games. He has more than twice as much yardage as any other Eastern Michigan receiver.
Can anyone stop Tim Jefferson? The Air Force quarterback only has three passing touchdowns on the year, but he has been extremely consistent on the ground, totaling 349 yards and seven touchdowns through five weeks. His 62 yards and two touchdowns rushing against Navy was yet another solid performance.
UNLV doesn�t make life easy for Phillip Payne, but the wideout still burned Nevada for 170 yards on eight catches.
Life isn�t much easier for BYU�s J.J. Di Luigi, as his team�s poor passing game is allowing opponents to stack against the run. But he still had 104 yards from scrimmage and scored twice against Utah State.
Running back LaMichael James and quarterback Darron Thomas look completely unstoppable for Oregon. James scorched Stanford for 257 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries, and he�s averaging eight yards per carry on the year. Although he threw two interceptions, Thomas still had a huge day as he threw for 238 yards and three touchdowns while running for 117 yards and a touchdown.
Thomas wasn�t the only Pac-10 passer to put up gigantic dual-threat numbers in Week 5, however. Washington�s Jake Locker threw for 310 yards and a touchdown and ran for 110 more yards against a struggling USC defense, giving him his second victory over the Trojans. Stanford�s Andrew Luck threw two interceptions against Oregon, but he also threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns while running for 39 yards and another touchdown.
Washington State doesn�t get much attention, but they seem to have a star in true freshman wideout Marquess Wilson. He caught five passes for 118 yards on the road against UCLA, giving him 25 catches for 458 yards and two touchdowns through five games. If he keeps playing like this, people will know who he is soon enough.
From a fantasy perspective, A.J. Green�s long-awaited return from suspension was every bit as good as one could have hoped. He caught seven passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns, and even took a carry for 40 yards.
Derrick Locke, Vick Ballard and Brandon Bolden had the biggest numbers among SEC runners, but Stevan Ridley probably came away with most of the cred after his game-winning touchdown saved LSU from an embarrassing loss against Tennessee.
Everyone knew the Alabama defense is better than Kentucky�s, but Florida�s Trey Burton knows it better than anyone. After scoring six times against Kentucky in Week 4, Burton got absolutely nowhere against the Tide defense. He totaled just 38 yards from scrimmage and threw an interception.
Sun Belt
Many of the Sun Belt�s biggest names were on bye this week, and another, Louisiana-Lafayette tight end Ladarius Green, missed Saturday with an unannounced ankle injury.
Lance Dunbar was one of the few conference stars who played, and he came up with his biggest performance of the year for North Texas. He took 24 carries for 141 yards and a touchdown and added 33 yards as a pass-catcher.
Wideout Allen Muse might be an emerging star for Arkansas State. He caught three passes for 50 yards and two touchdowns against Louisville, giving him 19 receptions for 382 yards and three touchdowns in four games this year.
It�s not Week 5-related, but Middle Tennessee quarterback Dwight Dasher returns from suspension and, assuming there�s not too much rust, he should have a big game against Troy Tuesday.
Hawaii�s Kealoha Pilares could very realistically end the year as college�s top fantasy wideout. He caught 18 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns against Louisiana Tech, giving him nine touchdowns through five games.
Meanwhile, Bryant Moniz also continues to put up mammoth numbers for Hawaii, throwing for 532 yards and four touchdowns in Week 5. Boise State�s Kellen Moore had modest yardage numbers against New Mexico State, but he still threw three touchdowns for the third time this year.
As is usually the case, Nevada�s backfield tandem of quarterback Colin Kaepernick and running back Vai Taua ran wild Saturday, as the two combined for 285 yards and four touchdowns on the ground against UNLV.

Weather radar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A weather radar is a type of radar used to show where precipitation is. Weather radar can tell the movement of precipitation, what type it is (rain, snow, hail, etc.), and forecast its future.
Modern weather radars are mostly Doppler radars, which can find the movement of rain drops and the intensity of the precipitation. Both types of information can be used to find the structure of storms and tell if they will cause any severe weather.

Wikipedia:Delayed revisions
This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
This page in a nutshell: Edits by anonymous and non-auto-confirmed editors would be delayed for two hours, giving us a chance to revert vandalism before its published while still keeping the principle of publication without the need for editorial review. |
Anonymous editors and not yet auto-confirmed editors would have to wait a certain (reasonably short) amount of time before their edits become visible, say 2 hours. On the system their edits would be marked as pending along with indicating a time when they would be published. In the mean time, the version published on the internet for the public would be the latest non-pending version. The editors concerned would simply be told that:
- - the delay is for anti-vandalism reasons, and
- - if they edited by accident they could revert their edit. (Hopefully more vandals would revert themselves.)
Most vandalism is reverted in a short period so most vandalism would be reverted before it went live. Editors could confirm (if so the waiting time would be abridged) or reject these edits after seeing a diff. Thus readers wouldn't see the majority of vandalism and vandals would loose the encouragement of having their edits immediately visible.
Registered editors would always see the latest version (i.e. including edits pending publication to the public-at-large).
How this would work in practice[edit]
It would work roughly as follows:
- An anonymous editor makes an edit to an article. The delay is set to 2 hours.
- An hour later a registered and auto-confirmed editor makes another edit without reverting the anonymous editors edit.
- Both edits get published when the registered presses the submit button.
Single button confirmation or rejection would be available to a large group of trusted editors, but would still be possible for other editors to confirm edits by making an edit.
An anonymous editor viewing a page with edits pending would see a "view draft" link instead of an "edit this page" link. Once clicked they see the latest version along with a "edit this page" link. In this it would unavoidably be more or less the same as Flagged Revisions
For articles which are currently semi-protected or fully protected, the waiting time would be lengthened and editing delays could be imposed on a wider group of editors. The waiting time could be varied as appropriate.
Full protection[edit]
For articles which are particularly vulnerable MediaWiki:Common.css for example the wait time could be set to indefinite and confirmation set to administrators only. The same as flagged revisions but only for extreme cases.
Troublesome vandals[edit]
Waiting times could also be increased for certain editors: anonymous editors and even some new editors could be flagged as possible vandals by administrators (and possibly by trusted editors), thereby increasing their waiting periods. This would also possible for whole ranges of IP addresses. Other editors' delay time would be set to zero.
I think we have to be clear about what we intend to use Flagged Revisions for. If it's about instituting a quasi-editorial board for featured articles, then Flagged Revisions might be the answer. If it's just an anti-vandalism device to ensure people aren't reported as dead before they actually are, it just might be over-kill.

Peter Horton starts his local 'Odyssey'
Peter Horton — who played Gary on "Thirtysomething" and is now directing an NBC pilot called "Odyssey" — posed for a photo with Lauren Rolfe, whose West Roxbury home is being used during the shoot. Rolfe's place will serve as the on-screen residence of actress Anna Friel, who plays Sergeant Odelle Ballard in the military conspiracy drama. Expect Horton to be shooting scenes around town for the next month or so. Other cast members include "Twilight" patriarch Peter Facinelli and Vermont resident Treat Williams.

The Nutmobile Gets A Green Makeover
Not only is the Planters Peanut spokesperson Mr. Peanut himself a peanut, but he also drives around in one as well. And now his iconic car is getting a fully fledged green makeover.
The Nutmobile, as it's officially called, now runs on biodiesel and features a wind turbine, solar panels, parts made from recycled materials, and LED lighting. The folks at Planters see the makeover as a good way to spread their message of sustainability.
"This form of advertising has really taken off," Joe Doyon told the New York Times. "The advent of camera phones means that vehicles like the Nutmobile get photographed a lot."

Home Loan Delinquencies Plunge
(NEW YORK) -- Mortgage delinquency rates are down to their lowest level in five years.
Credit reporting firm TransUnion says only 5 percent of people with home loans were at least two months behind with their payments in the final quarter of 2012. That's compared with 14 percent the year before.
This finding means that in the future, fewer foreclosure properties and short sales will be on the market.

Rick Gagliano | September 20-22, 2012
All times Eastern - Click here for late games.
Thursday, September 20
9:00 pm Brigham Young at Boise State (-7 1/2, 48) - BYU is coming off a tough, 24-21, road loss at Utah, and the Cougars are only 4-8 in their last 12 road games, though that's not as bad as Boise State's 2-6 record ATS at home.
The Broncos are rebuilding somewhat after six years of exceptional play, landing in prominent bowl games every year. They opened their season with a 17-13 loss at Michigan State, but, after a week off, took care of business at home with a 39-12 beating of Miami (OH).
There should be plenty of defense, which will help the Cougars hang around for a chance to win late.
Prediction: BYU 23 Boise State 20
8:00 pm Baylor (-8, 68 1/2) at Louisiana-Monroe - No good reason why the line on this is so low. Baylor is probably three touchdowns better than the Warhawks, which has gotten a reputation for beating Arkansas, a team that was self-destructing anyhow. They also took Auburn the distance, losing 31-28, but easily covering the fat 14 1/2 point spread
Baylor, even without the services of graduated RG3, is still a quality program with plenty of talented athletes. The Bears opened their season with a 59-24 romp over SMU and a 48-23 win over Sam Houston.
Mixed messages in terms of trends as Baylor has won five straight, but is 0-5 ATS their last five on the road. Still, trends have their ends, and this one looks about finished as the Bears should easily cover this line.
Prediction: Bears 38 Warhawks 20
Wisconsin doesn't have much in the way of offensive punch, so it's difficult to see how they can cover the big line. However, the Miners started the season 0-2, losing to Oklahoma, 24-7 and Mississippi, 28-10, either result would be more than enough for wisconsin to cover.
The feeling is that the Badgers will open up the offense a bit and the defense will take care of the rest. Wisconsin is 0-3 ATS this season, and that's not a trend which will continue long.
Prediction: Badgers 34 Miners 13
After an opening loss at Virginia Tech, 20-17, the Yellow Jackets appear to have found their stride, albeit against lesser opponents. They stuffed Presbyterian, 59-3, then handed Virginia a 56-20 bombing las week.
Both teams are coming off wins, but Miami doesn't seem to have a quality defense and that's going to hurt their chances against the Yellow Jackets, even though the Hurricanes have won the last three in this annual battle.
Prediction: Yellow Jackets 45 Hurricanes 24
Missouri's QB, James Franklin is a game-time decision, and whether or not he plays will have an impact in this showdown of SEC teams.
With or without Franklin, Missouri is going to find the SEC tougher than the Big 12, as they play their first season in a new conference. Already having been pounded by Georgia, 41-20, the Mizzou are in for a rough outing against the Gamecocks, who are 5-0 in their most recent home games.
Prediction: Gamecocks 34 Tigers 10
The way 3-0 UCLA is going, scoring at a 40.7 ppg clip, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for the Beavers to keep pace for long. The UCLA defense is coming around as well, another bad sign for Oregon State.
The Bruins allowed 24 points by Rice and 30 by Nebraska, but won both games. They hammered Houston, 37-6, in an all-around fine performance and will roll on here.
Prediction: Bruins 38 Beavers 20
Cal is just 1-2 entering the fray, having lost 31-24 to Nevada and 35-28 at Ohio State, sandwiching a 50-31 win over Southern Utah in between.
Southern Cal has won the last five meetings, mostly by wide margins. The last time these two met at USC, the Bruins notched a 48-14 victory and that seems to be where this one is headed, toward blowout-land.
Prediction: Trojans 44 Golden Bears 21
