Goodell Ups Ante With HGH Call

With the steely-eyed cool of a high-stakes poker pro, Commissioner Roger Goodell upped the ante last week in the League's showdown with NFL players. Making a stop in Woodlawn, Maryland to speak to local high school students, Goodell fielded questions that included the hot-potato topic of performance-enhancing drugs.

Alternator Fans:
I saw Tracks, Meister, Hound, Dead End, Silverstreak, etc. all in person.
They all rock! Tracks and Meister (especially Meister) are incredible!
The quality is there.
I spoke with the head designer that works on these. He said Alternators are the easiest to do: the cars come ready-made. They just have to figure out how to get them to transform.
Decepticons: non-combining Stunticons and Combaticons are fair game.
Licensing for "Evil Decepticons" might be more difficult because of the Alternators being based on real company products. JediTricks was right.
However, for Decepticons, companies that are having public relations troubles might ante up for the royalties. A "Starscream that transforms into Martha Stewart is being considered."
They laughed but liked my idea of oil rigging platforms, the Exxon Valdez, a rainforest slasher, etc. and the idea of teaching kids values with the products and the autobots saving the Earth's environment. They doubt they could get licensing if they were up front with companies and told "Caterpillar" or "Exxon" that they were making Evil Decepticons out of their products though. It's not being ruled out though.
They'd like to do an "annivesary" scale alternator for Starscream. They would pursue McDonnel-Douglas F-15 licensing rights for it though.
Megatron as a gun CAN be done, but there is a huge amount of legal work that must be filed and won before it would happen. Hasbro doesn't see it as worth the money. The gun would not be scale to Autobots and then transform to a similar scale for the robot mode. That's impossible.
Andy, fomerly the head of the SW Team, is behind Transformers today.

It's hard to beat the flavor of rosemary in this stew, but if you like basil, go ahead and use chopped fresh basil instead.
Warm Italian peasant bread and herb butter is a delicious combination with this one-dish stew. End the meal on a light note with vanilla frozen yogurt, cappuccino and chocolate-dipped biscotti.

I can't stand them. I mean braggarts. I find them arrogant and obnoxious. But today I become one. (We frequently become that which we hate.)
Yesterday I made a perfect shot. Broadbill, Joey Clams, and I did a preserve hunt. Duck season is over and now is a good time. We had a mix of chukars and pheasants.
We entered a small field and Buffy was quartering the field. She flushed a chukar that presented a left to right quartering shot, maybe a quartering crosser. Heavily wooded background on an overcast day made the target (bird) difficult to see. I picked up the bird, swung through, got the correct lead and dropped the bird probably at 30-35 yards. It was in the center of my pattern and fell dead as a doornail. Perfect form on my part---smooth and done without any rush. I am right handed and this is a most difficult shot to make. I said nothing to my partners but through my eyes I saw perfection.
My second brag is that I have two friends that are great and I will hunt with them anytime. Joey's first time in the uplands and he was a perfect gentlemen. He got with the plan, helped pin a running pheasant, forcing it into some brush and waited until Broadbill could handle his Boykin , Rebel, into the brush to flush the bird, followed by Joey's patient shot which killed the bird. And Broadbill is great to hunt with. He's not a game hog and he never claims to have dropped the bird when there are multiple shots. And he refrained from telling me "I told you so" when I insisted on something but later had to admit I was wrong and he was right.
I would like to hear about any other brags from the field---shooting, use of a particular gun, hunting partners, game birds, dog work. Today I welcome all brags.

Binghamton University researchers improve baggage screening
When Binghamton University faculty members Sarah Lam and Mohammad Khasawneh fly, each focuses on a different aspect of the check-in process. She likes to check out the X-ray images of her bag. He observes the baggage screener and where his or her eyes move.
Their interest stems from a research project that's still in its infancy. It focuses on ways to improve the efficiency of baggage screening at airports, in part by making better use of computers to train X-ray operators. With the potential of making baggage screening faster and more thorough, the project could be good news for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as well as travelers.
Lam, an associate professor of systems science and industrial engineering, specializes in system modeling, simulation optimization and neural networks. "Baggage screening remains the last line of defense for air travelers against terrorists," she said. "Therefore, a systems approach that considers human factors and intelligent training will be used to model the selection, training, certifying and monitoring of baggage screeners at airports."
The project would integrate the components of airport security systems, including humans, equipment, machines and information systems, along with support from the physical and organizational environment.
Khasawneh, an assistant professor of systems science and in LAMdustrial engineering, focuses on human factors in engineering and design. "Since this research will lead to a greater understanding of aviation safety issues, we see this area as both challenging and rewarding," said Khasawneh.
In the spring of 2004, Khasawneh and Lam began talking about a simulation that would encompass the flow of baggage and people through an airport. The idea was to bring a systems approach to an entire airport security system. They quickly found that the scope of that project was too large for two people to tackle and decided to zero in on the baggage-screening portion of the process.
"Even with advances in screening technology, the performance of the human operator that uses these sophisticated machines remains a significant component in the entire security system," Khasawneh said. "That's why we decided to focus on the operators' ability to detect threat objects such as knives or guns with an emphasis on intelligent training." Lam and Khasawneh now hope to evaluate how much information human operators can absorb at once and determine the optimal way for the computer to present information.
Lam and Khasawneh say the next step is to line up at least $400,000 or $500,000 to get the project off the ground. Because the Government Accountability Office cited weaknesses in the TSA's training for checked baggage screening in a recent report, they believe their work may attract federal funding from the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration or the National Science Foundation.
They could also partner with a local company on research that would lead to a product that could be commercialized. "This research," Lam said, "will lead to more secure airports for the flying public."

By far the best exterior paint that I have ever used. I was covering a pink with a deep heather color. This is usually a tough cover. But it was EASILY done in one coat. The paint goes on so smoothly that it was like working with an oil base. The finish was consistent with no brush marks. Again, almost like working with oil base. A few areas were down to bare wood. Again, the coverage was excellent with only the slightest variation in sheen. Of course, it's too early to talk about durability, but from the looks of it, I don't expect any problems. Behr, thanks for saving me a ton of time with this product.

Blix to discuss disarmament, March 26
Posted March 21, 2007; 05:09 p.m.
Former U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix will present a lecture titled "Is It Time for a Revival of Disarmament?" at 4:30 p.m. Monday, March 26, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
A veteran Swedish diplomat, Blix served as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency from 1981 to 1997 and was charged with overseeing inspection of Iraq's nuclear program. He became head of the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission in 2000, running the commission during the contentious period when the existence and verification of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were hotly debated by Security Council members as reasons to justify waging war on that country.
Blix retired from that position in 2003, and currently is the honorary chair of the International Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The talk is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Program on Science and Global Security.

Sony is promising to show off the "Future of PlayStation" at a media event in New York City on Feb. 20. The expectation is that Sony plans to give a look at its tent pole PlayStation 3 games coming throughout the rest of 2012 like Beyond: Two Souls and The Last of Us, as well as substantial new first party games for the PS Vita handheld like Killzone Mercenary. The immediate future doesn't seem to be the main event at this function, though. Sources tell the Wall Street Journal that this will be the moment that Sony unveils the PlayStation 4 (whether it's called Orbis or not) to the public.
Just because Sony plans to give a glimpse of what the PlayStation 4 is, that doesn't mean it will show its full hand. Far from it. Sony has a long history of early home console coming out parties, and they have by and large come almost a year before the actual device hit shelves.
The most famous of these was Sony's March 1999 event announcing that the development of the PlayStation 2 was complete. At the time, Sony showed off a series of tech demos that took more advanced polygonal characters from FMV sequences in PSOne games and rendered them in real time. The cinema sequences from games like Final Fantasy VIII and Ridge Racer 4 were purportedly what PlayStation 2 games would look like. It then showed what industry figures refer to as "target demos," footage of games like Namco's Tekken Tag Tournament and Squaresoft's The Bouncer that looked far more advanced than the games that were ultimately released. Sony didn't announce the price or release details for the console for another six months, and the PlayStation 2 didn't release for another six months after that. Even then, it only came to Japan with a US release following in October 2000.
The E3 2005 announcement of the PlayStation 3 echoed that announcement as well. PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi showed a prototype version of the console itself while confirming basic technical information (the machine will have Blu-ray drive, etc.) and then showing off not games, but technical demos, many of which became infamous. The early footage of Unreal Tournament 3 shown demonstrated what Sony believed the console would be capable of. Other early demos shown for titles like Killzone 2 and Motorstorm were again not actual game footage but target renders.
This history doesn't necessarily preclude Sony from announcing the price and release date of its new gaming machine, but it does demonstrate why industry pundits and fans should temper their expectations before February 20 rolls around.

On Thursday, I finished my exams (all but one went OK), and yesterday I finished school. It feels really weird - I've been at that school for the past nine years, and I've grown to quite like the place. Having spent an appreciable fraction of my life there, it was sort of like a second home. Over the past two years, the A-level Further Maths set (of which I was a member) grew a really strong sense of community - and now I might not see some of them ever again. The past year in particular has been the peak of my time there.
But I suppose good things can't last forever, and there's a time when we all have to move on. I've applied to study Computer Science at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and I'm fairly confident I'll make the grades. One other friend from Further Maths has applied to the same college, for Engineering - his offer is a little more steep than mine, but I hope he manages it.
And now for the summer. I'm hoping to get a job at my Dad's work (a supermarket chain) in the IT department. I've worked at that company before, for Work Experience, but they could only fit me into the Accounts dept. I hope I can get a better job than folding letters and sorting invoices into order this time...
But for now... free coding time! At last I can get back to something other than revision for exams. I've collected a huge To Do list over the past few months (mostly for my friend's hosting business) and hopefully I'll be able to have a stab at it over the long summer.

This is not the first time Mr. Baker has done this. But it is one of the most widely-known retriever losses. RTF members pulled together law enforcement, TV and Radio media connections, all to get some resolution in the disappearance of Boz, a 10 year old labrador, taken from his owner's dog truck in a hotel parking lot at night.
While Boz was not recovered alive, the culprit was caught and is being dealt with in our justice system.
Mr. Baker, aka, the "Gooser", offered up one of his true pieces of art - a handmade, dovetail-jointed urn. Here's Mike's Spalted maple with contrasting black walnut gift to Jamie Arthur. This can never bring Boz back, but it is an example of the kind of generosity that exists among the majority of RTF users - GOOD folks who want to pay it forward.
MooseGooser's woodworking business is the latest new sponsor on the RTF site. His banner will be appearing in the future.
Welcome Mike Baker and the Moosegooser Woodwork crew to RTF!

|A delightful frittata with asparagus, fresh mozzarella, Parmesan, and chives!
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. I love all types of frittatas, but this version with asparagus and pieces of fresh mozzarella is one I love to make when I start getting fresh chives in the garden.)
Since I've been raving about how much I love the Bel Gioioso Fresh Mozzarella Pearls I found at Costco, I thought I'd show you one more thing I made with them, plus some asparagus tips my sister Pam gave me. (Thanks Pam!) If you're one of the people who commented you can't find the fresh mozzarella pearls, this recipe is one where you could substitute regular grated mozzarella, but the fresh mozzarella was wonderful melted into eggs like this. I also loved the fresh chives, which are flourishing in my garden this year, but sliced green onions would work too.
Asparagus and Fresh Mozzarella Frittata with Parmesan and Chives
(Makes 4 generous servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
8 oz. asparagus tips or cut asparagus pieces
2 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
6 eggs, well beaten
1/2 - 1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (optional but recommended)
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella pearls or fresh mozzarella pieces (about 5 oz., could also use 1/2 cup grated mozzarella)
2 T grated Parmesan cheese
2 T chopped chives or green onions (I snip the chives with kitchen scissors, which is easier than chopping)
Wash and dry asparagus tips, and cut into sizes which will fit into your pan in a single layer. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in heavy frying pan, then add the asparagus, season with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and cook at high heat about 2-3 minutes. When asparagus is barely browning on one side, turn and cook about 2 minutes on the other side.
While asparagus browns, drain mozzarella pearls and cut in half (or grate the cheese if you're using regular mozzarella.) Remove asparagus to a dish, add 2 tsp. more oil to the pan and heat oil on low. While oil heats, crack eggs into a bowl and beat with Spike seasoning until eggs are well-beaten. Pour eggs into pan, let cook for a couple minutes, then lay the asparagus spears in a single layer in the egg mixture. Use your fingers to sprinkle the mozzarella pearls around the pieces of asparagus, then sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
If you're planning to brown the top of the frittata under the broiler turn the broiler on now. Cover pan and cook on low heat about 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still not completely set. Put pan under the broiler and brown the top for 2-3 minutes. (I have to turn the pan at least once to get it browned evenly in my broiler.) If you're not browning under the broiler, just cook covered until the whole frittata is firm, about 14 minutes.
Sprinkle frittata with chives or chopped green onions and serve hot.

Hornets' Davis (ankle) returns to practice, expects to play soon
By Ben Golliver
The return of The Unibrow is nigh.
Hornets rookie Anthony Davis, sidelined with a left ankle injury since Nov. 17, returned to practice on Monday and could play this week.
The Times-Picayune reports that Hornets coach Monty Williams indicated that Davis could return as soon as a Tuesday night game against the Washington Wizards.
"I'm not sure if he has to take another test today, tomorrow or has already taken it,'' Williams said. "He's been cleared for contact and is ramping up his conditioning. He practiced a little bit, but again (we) have to wait until tonight or tomorrow to see how he feels. He has been working with Coach Carlos (Daniel).''
Williams said after Saturday night's 106-90 loss to the Miami Heat they would get Davis back sometime this week.
The No. 1 overall pick in the the 2012 draft, Davis' rookie season was one of the most highly-anticipated in recent memory after he dominated in his freshman season at Kentucky, leading the Wildcats to the NCAA title and winning a host of individual honors.
Things haven't quite gone as planned since draft night. Davis suffered an ankle sprain during tryouts for USA Basketball, although he went on to play in the London Olympics and win a gold medal. After a promising preseason, Davis missed time with a mild concussion, thanks to an elbow from teammate Austin Rivers, before suffering a series of sprained ankles in November. The Hornets said in late-November that Davis would miss a few weeks, so at least he's on schedule if he returns this week.
During his absence, Davis has fallen from the favorite's position in 2012-13 Rookie of the Year race, as Blazers guard Damian Lillard and Bobcats forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist were named Rookies of the Month for October/November. Davis, 19, has appeared in just six games for the Hornets, averaging 16.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. The Hornets have struggled without him and currently hold the worst record in the Western Conference at 5-14. With Davis, New Orleans was 2-4; without him, 3-10.

This Betty's Best stew, loaded with beef and six kinds of vegetables, is certainly the best stew you'll ever bake.
Tapioca's not just for pudding! Tapioca is used to thicken this hearty stew because it doesn't need to be stirred and won't break down during the long baking process.
Use an ovenproof Dutch oven and cover. Check the manufacturer's information of your Dutch oven to be sure. Don't use one with plastic handles on the pot or cover if you're not certain it's ovenproof.

The Battle of Bretton Woods
A remarkably deft work of storytelling that reveals how the blueprint for the postwar economic order was actually drawn.

Senior Fellow and Director of International Economics

McKinsey Executive Roundtable Series in International Economics , C. Peter McColough Roundtable Series on International Economics , Center for Geoeconomic Studies Roundtable Series in International Finance
Dr. Benn Steil is senior fellow and director of international economics at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. He is also the founding editor of International Finance, a top scholarly economics journal, and lead writer of the Council's Geo-Graphics economics blog. Prior to his joining the Council in 1999, he was director of the International Economics Programme at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London. He came to the Institute in 1992 from a Lloyd's of London Tercentenary Research Fellowship at Nuffield College, Oxford, where he received his MPhil and DPhil (PhD) in economics. He also holds a BSc in economics summa cum laude from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Steil has written and spoken widely on international finance, monetary policy, financial markets, and economic history. He has testified before the U.S. House, Senate, and CFTC on financial market and monetary issues. He is a regular op-ed contributor at the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times. His latest book, The Battle of Bretton Woods: John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and the Making of a New World Order, won the 2013 Spear's Book Award in Financial History, took third prize in CFR's 2014 Arthur Ross Book Award competition, was shortlisted for the 2014 Lionel Gelber Prize ("the world's most important prize for non-fiction," according to the Economist), and was the top book-of-the-year choice in Bloomberg's 2013 poll of global policymakers and CEOs. The book has been called "a triumph of economic and diplomatic history" by the Financial Times, "a superb history" by the Wall Street Journal, "the gold standard on its subject" by the New York Times, and "the publishing event of the season" by Bloomberg's Tom Keene. His previous book, Money, Markets and Sovereignty, was awarded the 2010 Hayek Book Prize. Financial Statecraft: The Role of Financial Markets in American Foreign Policy was named one of the "Best Business Books of 2006" by Library Journal and an "Outstanding Academic Title of 2006" by Choice. His next book, The Marshall Plan: Dawn of the Cold War, will be published by Simon and Schuster in early 2018.
When economic and political turmoil hit a critical part of the world, calls pour forth for "a new Marshall Plan" to alleviate hardship, calm passions, and stir hope. Hillary Clinton invoked the Marshall Plan in the context of the Arab Spring; Peer Steinbrueck contrasted it glowingly to Angela Merkel's policies toward the eurozone; George Soros pleaded for one to counter Russia in Ukraine. Indeed, the Marshall Plan, the most ambitious and visionary element of the United States' immediate post–World War II foreign policy, has become virtually synonymous with enlightened foreign intervention. Seen widely in hindsight as the best of times for American diplomacy, the years of the Marshall Plan were also among the most fraught and challenging for those who crafted it under enormous strain in a matter of months. Much as my most recent book, The Battle of Bretton Woods, was a response to calls from world leaders for "a new Bretton Woods" in the wake of the financial crisis, my forthcoming book, A World Upended: The Making and Meaning of the Marshall Plan, will be a response to the current conjurings of that legend.

Can hidden Chinese buying of U.S. Treasuries through Belgium explain curious movements in U.S. asset prices? Is the BRICS contingent reserve arrangement a substitute for the International Monetary Fund? What can the price of iPad Minis tell us about currency wars? Emma Smith and I examine these and other geoeconomic questions, with great visuals, in our regular Geo-Graphics blog posts.
Published three times a year, International Finance (IF), which I edit for Wiley publishers, is a top scholarly journal that takes on the challenging, topical questions that central bankers and treasury officials care about. In addition to our double-refereed articles, IF publishes extended book reviews and original commentary pieces by top current and former policymakers, like Alan Greenspan. Free online access to one article in the most recent issue is always available on the Center for Geoeconomic Studies web page.

Benn Steil and Emma Smith show how China mirrors the U.S. "exorbitant privilege" from minting the world's primary reserve currency. While the United States is deeply indebted to the rest of the world, it still earns far more abroad than it pays out. China, in contrast, has become the world's largest creditor while paying foreigners far more than it receives. Steil and Smith argue that China is making itself vulnerable to financial crisis by massively subsidizing its geostrategic objectives.

Benn Steil's May 20 op-ed on the PBS NewsHour Making$ense site, co-authored with Emma Smith, explains the practical and political barriers to further monetary or fiscal loosening in nations representing at least 60 percent of the global economy. This spells trouble ahead if economic conditions worsen.

Benn Steil's latest op-ed in The Weekly Standard examines Paul Krugman's continuing calls for fiscal stimulus, as well as his defense of government wage intervention and mercantilism. These have all been grounded in the assertion that the United States is in a "liquidity trap," in which monetary policy is ineffective. Steil explains why the theory of liquidity traps is logically inapplicable when the central bank's policy rate is positive, as it has been in the United States since December, and concludes that it operates as a fig leaf behind which to advocate policies with less scientific rationales.

Benn Steil's op-ed in the March 30 edition of the Wall Street Journal, co-authored with Emma Smith, looks at presidential campaign charges that China is engaged in "currency manipulation" to boost net exports. They show that the aims of China's pegged exchange rate regime have varied over the past two decades, and have not always been mercantilist. In recent months, with capital flowing out of China at a prodigious rate, its interventions have been to keep its currency up—not down. Launching a trade war with China over currency management, as Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders intend, would therefore be nonsensical—as well as damaging to U.S. interests.

Max Boot and Benn Steil argue that a Trump presidency would undermine the liberal international order which the United States painstakingly constructed and cultivated after the Second World War. This would, they believe, gravely damage America's security and standing in the world.

Benn Steil's op-ed explains how the mechanics of implementing Federal Reserve monetary policy have changed radically since the crisis. Little known is that the new plumbing is not actually controlled by the FOMC, but by the much smaller Board of Governors. Given that the Board is decidedly more dovish than the FOMC, Fed watchers focused on the latter may be expecting a more aggressive timing and pace of rate rises than is likely.

Benn Steil's Forbes op-ed with Dinah Walker examines why Walmart is raising its minimum starting wage. Contrary to arguments from popular commentators, there is no logical reason to suggest hidden motives related to political pressure. Walmart remains as relentless on costs as ever; wage pressures in the retail sector, we show, are wholly sufficient to explain the company's move.

Benn Steil's new Forbes op-ed examines Paul Krugman's data analysis purporting to document definitively that "austerity," defined by declines in real government purchases, damaged growth between 2010 and 2013. He shows that this finding collapses entirely when he excludes countries without independent monetary policies, such as those in the Eurozone. For countries with independent monetary policies, changes in real government purchases had no effect on growth.

Benn Steil and Dinah Walker analyze the market reaction to the publication of the European Central Bank's long-awaited bank stress test results. The ECB's coddling of stress-tested banks — through the use of inflated inflation estimates and generous treatment of tax offsets against future profits which may never arise — precipitated a sell-off of bank stocks in a period when broad European indexes were up significantly. Unlike with the successful 2009 U.S. stress tests, there is no credible backstop of public funds available for Eurozone bank recapitalization, which would account for the ECB's reluctance to draw attention to the sector's undercapitalization.

The new BRICS Bank and Contingent Reserve Arrangement initiatives are, despite stated Russian ambitions, wholly unconvincing responses to the shortcomings of the Bretton Woods institutions and the dollar-based global financial architecture.

text: I'm trying to "round out" my collection a little. I think I'm going to pick up some Star Wars comic books (I know nothing about collecting comics). Anyway, I've noticed there are quite a few series and I'm pretty confused. If anyone has any suggestions of what's best, please post here. Also, if you know of any good websites to check out. I'm going to get the new line coming out soon (Dark Horses' Empire). But I'd love some other suggestions.

By Tiernan Ray
In a longish (36 pages) report today on mobile computing, Citigorup's Glen Yeung and colleagues Kota Ezawa, Kevin Chang, Arthur Lai, Terence Whalen, Jim Suva, Henry Kim, Amit Harchandani, and Roland Shu opine that sales of smartphones have moved past earlier stages of "explosion" and "destruction" to a state of "exhaustion," marked by the slowing of demand for the most expensive smartphones, and "increasingly elusive" hardware innovation and falling prices.
Yeung & Co. assert that the global mobile handset count of 4.85 billion handsets in use will completely saturate developed markets by next year, and will saturate developing markets by 2016, based on an extrapolation of research by the International Telecommunications Union.
With an adult population of 1 billion in developed markets, and a handset base of 1.4 billion units, developed markets now have 143% as many handsets in circulation as there are grown people capable of owning them. Emerging markets, by contrast, are a 103.8% "penetration."
Looking at numbers for mobile broadband subscriptions, he sees developed markets hitting a peak in mobile growth in 2014, with more opportunity in emerging markets:
In developed countries, penetration of mobile broadband subscriptions is an already high 75%, well above the global figure (30%). Extrapolating near-term growth rates, 100% saturation in developed markets will be achieved in 2015. If we were to use carrier estimates of peak penetration (85%), then peak penetration in developed markets will be achieved in 2014. However, in developing countries, penetration is a mere 20%, suggesting more room for growth in these markets. Notably, based on the steeper trajectory of mobile broadband subscription growth (51% 2013/2012 estimated), in developing markets full saturation is expected to be reached by 2017. If we were to use carrier estimates of peak penetration (85%), then peak penetration in developing markets will be achieved in 2016.
Yeung and the team opine that the smartphone market, now in an "expansion" phase, will go through a traditional decline in prices, which is the thing that drives acceleration in units:
In order to achieve the steep rate of adoption associated with such expansion,
we assert that smartphone ASPs will need to fall, further moderating industry
revenue growth. To make this point, we look at two adjacent markets (notebook
PCs & feature phones) to provide a glimpse at what we believe is typical hardware
technology unit/ASP evolution.
Taking Apple's (AAPL) iPhone as the main example for smartphones, Yeung writes that "smartphone evolution has been characterized by integration (of old economy devices) rather than innovation" since the iPhone came out, including swallowing GPS, MP3 players, cameras, etc., and that "while we applaud Apple for truly innovating with the introduction of the iPhone in 2007, we argue that innovation in smartphone hardware from here is increasingly difficult."
"With a plethora of mobile devices already integrated, we question if there are
any mobile devices left to integrate," he asks, and answers, "there are few discrete devices left to integrate."
The result is the maturity of the smartphone market, and the rise of software and services:
Smartphone hardware is following the typical pattern of diminishing marginal utility and may be approaching the point of near-zero marginal utility (this incidentally puts the onus of incremental utility on software & services). Said differently, we argue that smartphone hardware may be "good enough" at least at this point in time.
The stock implications are rough for both handset makers and for chip makers, the team write. For Apple, whose shares he rates Neutral, the company faces the challenge of the rising pace with which it and every competitor are being forced to rush new models to market.
"This high cadence of new products introduces the risk of poor yield," he argues. "Indeed, iPhone5 is a primary example of this."
"While it may be argued that yield issues are temporary on any given device, we view the risk of yield issues as increasing as produce cadence accelerates."
For BlackBerry (BBRY), rated Sell, "The increase innovation by other smartphone OEMs increases the risk that Blackberry may need to cut its pricing at an accelerated rated as well as increase its product innovation, both of which would put pressure on the company's margin."
Yeung's colleague Ezawa thinks Toshiba (6502JP), Sony (SNE), and Panasonic (6752JP) are all relatively appealing, rating each one's shares a Buy, because they already went through pain:
Japanese electronics makers were among the first to experience the damage
caused by contraction in the monetary value (contraction in market value) in digital consumer electronics that we analyze in this report and have already escaped from their crises. While there issues and concerns remain, we find Japan's electronics makers relatively appealing investments.
And Qualcomm (QCOM) gets cut to Neutral from Buy by Yeung, after yesterday reporting an in-line fiscal Q3, and raising its year view slightly.
Yeung cut his price target to $70 from $81, writing that Qualcomm's valuation will suffer as growth slows:
Qualcomm denies that saturation will impact growth. We would argue however, that even if Qualcomm has visibility on growth, already high saturation rates points to eventual growth deceleration. Perhaps more relevant, we view this deceleration of growth as a limiting factor in Qualcomm's multiple, particularly when using the example of the PC sector (Intel (INTC) within it) as an example. As we illustrate below, when the PC sector went into deceleration mode, Intel's multiple began to fall.
He offers the following table of Intel's decrease in valuation over 15 years:
Qualcomm stock today is up 41.61, or 2.6%, at $63. Apple shares are down a penny at $440.50.

Sometimes in a relationship the trust has been broken or you no longer feel loved and appreciated. Before contemplating divorce therapy can help restore the relationship. Attending therapy together can also assist you as a couple to define your needs and overcome resentments that may be intruding in your ability to move forward together.
Catherine Kelly, DC, LMFT

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist much of my work is with couples. Couples can be challenged in all stages of the life cycle: Pre-marriage, marital, living together, separating, divorcing, re-marrying, etc. Working with couples is a complex and challenging area of therapy which I particularly enjoy. Often the stakes are high. Helping couples come to a place where each partner is more whole and healthy and the relationship is strong and satisfying is a very gratifying part of my work.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, I was known to get pretty good grades in school. I'm not saying I was a good student. I wasn't, really. But I did know how to get good grades.
History was, by far, my worst subject. And why not? It was about wars and old men who'd been dead so long they didn't even stink anymore. I was a teen-aged girl, fer Pete's sake. I was interested in guys who were young, alive, friendly, and smelled like Brut. Nevertheless, using my fine-tuned technique for securing grades that would pass muster at home, I managed to do reasonably well even on history tests.
Miss Ryan wasn't fooled though, and good test scores were not her only priority. She was the only teacher who ever sent a "D" home with me on my report card.
My mother went to ask her why I'd gotten so low a grade when I'd done acceptably well on all the quizzes and tests. Miss Ryan replied that it was because I didn't take notes in class. Mom thought that was ridiculous since my test scores were good, so she told me to appear to be taking notes in class. I did, and my history grade improved.
The truth is, by that time, it was already clear to me that my note-taking left a lot to be desired. I'm bad at it. Always was. Always will be. If I ever take a good note, I assure you it will be a complete anomaly in my note-taking life.
That anomaly did not happen when I took photos of some Sedgwick tombstones many years ago. I can't even tell you how many years ago, as I did not make note of the date. Apparently I did not even record the name of the cemetery. The photos are the old-fashioned kind, from a film camera, and there is absolutely nothing written or imprinted on their backs. I did find a notebook of jottings from that trip, but there is no mention in it pertaining to the Sedgwick gravestone photos.
But fortunately, The Sedgwick Collection at the New Haven Colony Historical Society houses boxes and boxes of notes taken by some excellent Sedgwick note-takers of days gone by. I was able to determine from them that I took these photos at Greenwood Cemetery which, according to the notes, is one-half mile east of Bloomingdale, Illinois.
My fourth great-grandfather is said to be buried with the Sedgwicks whose tombstones I photographed, but I was unable to find a stone with Elijah's name on it. I'm sure he must have had a stone at some point. From the photos, it appears some of the older stones may have been broken and repaired. Possibly Elijah's was broken beyond repair, or maybe it was there and I just didn't look in the right place.
I'd like to wrap this up by telling you my note-taking has improved over the years but, dear reader, I'm all about keepin' it real.
I was browsing through my old Sedgwick binder the other day and found a great number of photocopied items sent to me many years ago by the late Leona Hilton of Seattle. One was a list entitled Bloomingdale Cemetery Record of Burials.* The pages she sent me covered some (not all) years from 1859-1879. Several Sedgwick entries are included, and I'm sure this record is how I knew Elijah Sedgwick was buried here, despite the lack of a gravestone. The Sedgwick entries are:
Lot 42:
- 19 May 1859 - Huldah, wife [second] of Doct. S.P. Sedgwick, of Bloomingdale, age 33
- July 1870 - Infant son of Geo. and Ebba [sic] Vastine
- 18 Dec 1861 - Elijah Sedgwick of Bloomingdale, age 98
- 4 Dec 1870 - Dr. Parker Sedgwick, Wheaton, age 74 yrs 3 mo
- 23 Sep 1863 - Emily E., infant daughter of E. and H. Sedgwick
- 12 Dec 1863 - Infant son of C.J. and E. Schultz of Bloomingdale
- July 1870 - Elijah, infant child of E. and H. Sedgwick
- 22 Aug 1870 - Infant son of C.J. and Emma Schultz
- 26 Oct 1874 - Joseph D., infant son of Harriet and Erastus Sedgwick
- 9 Apr 1876 - William, infant son of Harriet and Erastus Sedgwick
- 16 Oct 1878 - Daughter of E.R. and H.M. Sedgwick, 6 days old
Charles J. Schultz was married to Emma Elizabeth Sedgwick, a granddaughter of Elijah Sedgwick. You can see the Schultz Family Group Sheet at Sedgwick.org.
Erastus R. Sedgwick, a grandson of Elijah Sedgwick, was married to Harriet Hatch. There are currently no children listed on Erastus Sedgwick's Family Group Sheet at Sedgwick.org.
*From the photocopy, it's apparent this list of burials was part of a Pamphlet File, the subject of which was "Bloomingdale, History of." The photocopies were sent to Leona by the reference librarian at Bloomingdale Public Library in Bloomingdale, Illinois.

D-Line hot sprue bushings designed for short runsComments Email Print
DME Co.'s D-Max line of single hot sprue bushings incorporate DME's standard slip-on, cast-in heaters on the nozzle body. The Madison Heights, Mich.-based company said that provides a more uniform heat profile than traditional square coil heaters.
DME will showcase the D-Max line at NPE 2012. The sprue bushings are ideal for prototyping and short-run production. The standardized bushings allow moldmakers to exactly simulate multi-drop systems using the same basic components, with no need for special heaters, tips, retainers or needles.
"Slip-on, cast-in heaters give molders better control of the heat in the nozzle body, so they can reduce stringing," said Craig Kovacic, DME's hot runner manager. They also last about 50 percent longer than square coils, he said.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Beneath, Between, Behind
I love the old Split-Road Farm. Honestly, I haven't killed that many turkeys there through the years, but I always have adventures and close encounters.
The place, as the name implies, is split by a county road, and it seems like turkeys are on one side or the other, but never in both spots. One morning in 2012, I listened from the road but didn't hear anything on either side. Then I flipped a coin and chose the western end. Sure enough, as I walked in, a bird gobbled from deep in the property. I hot-footed to get closer.
When I got about parallel with the gobbler, I found a decent tree, sat and yelped. He climbed all over it and then began frenzied gobbling on his own. That's when I realized my dilemma. He was only 120 yards away but on the other side of a deep glacial kettle that stretched almost the entire length of the property.
"That old logging trail on the southern end leads right from the paved road to his tree," I thought. "That's where I should be."
True, and had I heard him from the county road, that's the path I would have taken. But I didn't, so I'd taken the easy walk on the northern side of the timber, across the blasted ditch. Could he fly across the ditch to me? Sure. Could he walk across it? Yes, considering it was a very dry spring. But would he do either, or would he go all "turkey" on me and sit on his ridge and gobble his fool head off? There was no way to know.
I had to try him from across the ditch or walk all the way back to the road and toward him on the trail. Fly-down time loomed, so I had about a minute to decide.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Binghamton University to host cross-cultural awareness seminar
Binghamton University's Office of Continuing Education & Outreach is sponsoring a half day seminar, "Cross-Cultural Competencies: Building Yours!" from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Friday, October 24. This seminar, which will focus on cross-cultural awareness, communication and comprehension, is being held at the University Downtown Center, located at 67 Washington Street.
Participants will explore various communication styles, review various cultural identities and examine interactions. Attendees will also learn tips and techniques to communicate with those who are non-native English speakers.
In today's global marketplace, knowledge and skills are vital, but cultural competency can make or break a business deal. The need for cultural awareness and sensitivity are essential in global business. For example, do you know how to pronounce the most common last names in China, Korea and Turkey? Do you know which culture often considers "no" to be a negotiable answer or that a brief pause in the conversation can help the other person comprehend what's just been said? When communicating with someone who's first language is not English, do you know the most practical ways to assure understanding?
Enrollment is limited and early registration is encouraged. Online registration is available at http://continuinged.binghamton.edu, or by mail or phone. For more information or to register, call (607) 777-6857 or toll free, 1-877-313-2508 or visit http://continuinged.binghamton.edu.

So, Hasbro has 3 vehicles in the Toy Fair display for us, and keep in mind that the price has gone up to $25 on these but while they are still a tad smaller, they have more going on than last year's hollow crap...
Inquisitor's TIE Advanced Prototype:
The Phantom:
The Inquisitor's TIE Advanced, I don't really like the design of the ship, it seems too much like a baby Vader's TIE, which obviously it is, but that's not Hasbro's fault (I assume). Their toy has an opening cockpit, firing missiles, and fold-down wings. Oddly, the wings folded down looks really cool and is likely what would sell me this item, it looks sleeker and different while still TIEd to the brand. See that look here: 1, 2, 3 That said, I'm still not really excited about this one.
There's no more angles of the AT-DP that I've seen, nobody was able to get around it or open it in the Hasbro showroom, and it's not part of the first wave. This design is a Joe Johnston walker that didn't get used for ESB, and it has that Johnston/McQuarrie feel to it which has charm, but at the same time there's a reason those didn't get used originally. Hasbro's toy seems to have a movable turret, firing missile, opening hatch, and movable hips and neck, but not knees or ankles, so it's a lot more like the AT-ST of the '80s, but this looks taller and leaner. If they had knee and ankle joints, I would be very excited for this piece, but without them it's likable but not a must-buy yet.
The Phantom oddly is the one I expected not to care about, it's a fairly simplistic shape, and yet it has more going on than it lets on. The cockpit opens, it looks like the aft section opens, there's a turret with firing missile, fold-down landing gear, and the sides unfold to become weapon-carrying wings, all of which has a classic GI Joe ARAH feel to me. See more here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
I would have liked to have seen more dynamic coloring on this, it's a bit too Y-wing, but overall it's got a lot of what I like about action figure vehicles, and is my number 1 interest right now in this line.

Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium will host a new coalition of aquariums, zoos and governmental agencies to address critical needs for the conservation of marine mammals, sea turtles, seabirds and other species worldwide.
Mote senior scientist Dr. John Reynolds will lead the new International Consortium for Marine Conservation.
Reynolds, who is the immediate past chairman of the U.S. Marine Mammal Commission, announced the new consortium this week during the Second Signatory State Meeting of the Dugong MOU of the Convention of Migratory Species of the United Nations Environment Programme in Manila, Philippines.
"Traditional thinking has been that if you do good science, conservation will follow as a natural outcome," Reynolds said in a prepared statement. "But in reality, the translation from science to conservation is far from automatic. If the social and political will to make change isn't there, then the conservation measures that are needed will never be enacted. Science is extremely valuable to inform conservation decisions, but conservation takes much more than just the science to succeed."
Instead of focusing only on science, the group plans to bring in groups with social, economic, cultural and policy specialties to work proactively on environmental issues.
