text: I hope I can stop laughing long enough to post my question. My 2 year old poots more than any dog, (or human) I have ever been around! He is and has been on the same food since he was a pup, Eukanuba PP, and only seldom gets people food as treats. Would not be so bad, except that he stays in the office with me at work. My eyes water a lot. Any ideas on a supplement or something I could give him to put a damper on it? His coat, stools, health etc are all very good. My other two dogs, (including the chessie Bubba) do not have this problem. Just little Stinky. Now what I am laughing so hard about, is I did try a search before posting this. The key words I used were "excessive gas". The first 6 returns were ALL FROM POTUS PLACE!!!!!

"My Altec Lansing 716s are getting old and my Sennheiser HD 600s will need new cords shortly, so when I saw the Lenntek Pros at Costco.com for $50, I couldn't pass them up.

Jeffrey Kolitch, 44, is a real-estate thoroughbred: The son of a developer, he majored in real estate at the Wharton School of Business and now steers the $503 million Baron Real Estate fund (ticker: BREFX), which beat 99% of its peers in the past year and 96% in the past three years.
"My father owned a small, private, retail home-center firm, which sold everything from carpets to nails, but he transitioned into real-estate development when he became concerned that he wouldn't be able to compete with companies like Home Depot HD 1.2320062248735573% Home Depot Inc.

"Ironically, they're now his tenants." And Lowe's (LOW) is one of the fund's top-10 holdings.
This is not your average real-estate fund. Real-estate investment trusts make up just 17% of the Baron fund, and it yields just 1%, far less than the typical REIT fund's 3.5%. Kolitch is more interested in growth than income. Many of his holdings pay no dividends.
While REITs invest in office buildings, malls, apartment buildings, self-storage, and hotels, Kolitch owns land-development companies, senior-living facilities, casino operators, real-estate-services firms, data-center operators, and hotel companies.
Kolitch is more interested in growth than income. Many of his holdings pay no dividends. Brad Trent for Barron's
"In REITs, growth is capped by the leases the companies have made," Kolitch says. "In real-estate-related corporations, such as land developers and cell-tower operators, growth is open-ended. Plus, these other categories are undervalued compared to REITs right now."
This flexibility allows Kolitch to cash in on megatrends like the demand for cell towers and the growing need for senior housing.
AFTER A STINT AT Goldman Sachs, where he was a managing director of the equity capital markets, Kolitch joined Baron Capital Group in 2005 as a research analyst to help with Baron's substantial real-estate investments.

About 10% of the $19 billion in assets under management by Baron Capital is devoted to real estate, much of which is overseen by Kolitch.
KOLITCH HAS 20 analysts using bottom-up fundamental analysis to find very high-quality growth companies with strong competitive advantages. The fund looks for stocks that can double in four to five years; it sells if growth falls below the midteens.
Baron Real Estate is a concentrated fund with just 53 positions, and it tends to buy and hold. Annual portfolio turnover is only about 24%. One example: The fund bought CBRE Group CBG 4.196816208393632% CBRE Group Inc.

Formerly known as CB Richard Ellis, it's one of the few such firms that operates globally.
CBRE Group survived the global downturn in real estate and is now growing both organically and through acquisitions. It bought ING's real-estate-management business in 2011 and recently announced the acquisition of Impact-Corti, a small property-management company in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Kolitch thinks it could earn $2.50 per share in three to four years, as the recovery in commercial real-estate grows. The stock, which recently traded at $24, could reach $40 over that time, he says.
Baron Real Estate has an annualized return of 24% since its inception, as of April 30, compared with a 14% gain for the S&P 500.
Kolitch really likes housing-related stocks. "Demand for housing is mending, interest rates are very low, and there is very little construction in the pipeline, which should support the recovery in residential real estate for the next several years," he says. Only 3% of the fund's assets are in home builders, however, because he thinks their valuations are stretched.
SENIOR-HOUSING OPERATORS are particularly attractive because they are relatively cheap, the industry is consolidating, and baby boomers are aging. One holding, Sunrise Senior Living, was snapped up at a 62% premium by a health-care REIT late last year.

It is a small-cap operator of senior-housing communities that he bought at $5 per share. The shares have since jumped to $24. He still likes Capital because it has been buying up companies that have just one to five properties, which usually fly below the radar of REITs. Also, he notes that it's growing faster than most REITs, and trades at about 12 times cash flow, compared with an average of 20 times for REITs. He thinks the stock could climb to the mid-$30s in the next year.
Hotel operators were early holdings for the fund, and he still likes them because he believes both corporate and consumer demand will outstrip supply as the economy improves.

He bought Hyatt at $30 and still calls it a bargain at a current $41, thanks to its potential for growth as it renovates rooms and expands in China and India. Plus, Hyatt has a strong balance sheet and has been aggressive about buying back its shares.
"Hyatt trades at 10 times its 2014 estimated cash flow, which we believe may grow by more than 15%," he says.
And he thinks that Starwood, which owns such brands as St. Regis, Sheraton, W Hotels, Le Meridien, and Westin, could reach $90 in the next two years from a recent $64, as it ups its room count by 30%. "Management recently indicated that it believes it may generate more than $3 billion in cash from the sale of hotels in the next three years and that cash could be used for share repurchases, dividends, and/or acquisitions," he says.

Serves four.
You can jazz up this basic recipe by adding Rosemary-Lemon Thyme Oil or Moroccan Spice Rub when you toss the butternut squash with olive oil and salt and pepper before roasting. Or toss the butternut squash with Sesame Sea Salt, Caramelized Shallot Butter, Ginger-Lemon Soy Splash, or Toasted Coriander & Garlic Oil after it comes out of the oven.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 475° F. Line a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment. In a medium bowl, toss the butternut squash with enough of the olive oil to coat generously, the salt, and a few grinds of pepper.
Turn the butternut squash out onto the baking sheet and arrange the pieces so that they are evenly spaced and lying on a cut side. If the pieces cover the baking sheet sparsely, arrange them toward the edges of the baking sheet for the best browning. Roast until the squash is browned on bottom, 15 minutes. Flip and roast until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Return the butternut squash to the bowl in which you tossed it with the oil, or put it in a clean serving bowl. If the squash seems a bit dry, drizzle it with a little oil. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if using.

By Ben Levisohn
William Blair's Sharon Zackfia, Tania Anderson, and Matthew Curtis use the end of earnings season to take a look at restaurant stocks and fret about recent weakness in sales. They write:
With most second-quarter results already reported, aggregate same-store sales trends across the industry accelerated to a 1.5% to 2.0% clip from a weather-affected 0.5% average gain in the first quarter, although two-year comp trends slowed modestly on a sequential basis. Perhaps most concerning was the broader restaurant sales slowdown that occurred in June and seems to have continued into July.
They do, however, note that restaurant stocks should get a boost from lowest expenses. Zackfia and team explain:
On the cost front, restaurant industry wage inflation remains quite manageable at the slowest rate of wage inflation since 2005. Food costs also remain favorable with inflation in the low-single-digit range, while lower-year-over year grain futures are suggestive of continued low commodity inflation into 2014 (particularly given the recent pullback in corn futures, which are now nearly 30% lower versus mid-July).
Their favorites: Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Starbucks (SBUX). They explain why:
For Starbucks, we anticipate continued potential for earnings upside on remarkably healthy and consistent same-store sales trends (which we believe have continued into the September quarter), with its June quarter comp of 9% leading the entire restaurant industry, despite more than 19,000 global locations. For Chipotle, we remain heartened by strong midsingle-digit same-store traffic gains, with a likely price increase in the first half of 2014 poised to provide upward momentum to estimates, particularly as Chipotle has already absorbed significant commodity inflation that has increased its cost of sales to 33%-plus.
Starbucks has gained 1.3%, while Chipotle has risen 1%. Dunkin Brands (DNKN), which was also mentioned positively for its strong same-store sales, has advanced 0.9%.
Oppenheimer, meanwhile, highlights Darden Restaruants' (DRI) tough summer. Brian Bittner and Michael Tamas write:
We reduce 1Q14E EPS (Jun-Aug) to $0.63 vs. Street's $0.75. Consensus likely to come down to $0.70 range after several outliers in $0.80+ range adjust. We model -3.4% comps for the Big 3 in 1Q14E, vs. sell-side's current -0.6%…
High shrimp costs add pressure to 1H14 margins before expected relief in 2H. At 10% of COGS, shrimp is largest food cost and is up 40% YoY as bacterial infection has killed shrimp and constrained supplies from Asian shrimp farms. Management believes this specific issue is fixable relatively quickly and price relief could follow.
The analysts also reduced their price target to $54 from $58. Darden's shares are virtually unchanged.

Government regulation and balancing competing interests
RALEIGH -- In the political world, government regulation is often cast in stark and partisan terms.
Republicans often tout regulation as bad, as unnecessary red tape created to serve bureaucrats and not the people that government is supposed to serve.
Their business allies, sometimes groups whose individual members have varied and competing interests themselves, promote the notion that government regulation is destroying their competitiveness.
Democrats often take the opposite tack, arguing for regulation as needed to protect the individual and public health. Their environmentalist allies advance broad goals of saving land, water and air from being spoiled by polluting industry.
The reality of government regulation is much more gray.
Plenty of business owners can point to examples of government regulation that appear senseless or have outlived their purpose. They can talk about regulators that are prone to take regulations beyond their intent.
Regulation can also involve less than obvious agendas.
An example is a professional or business licensing requirement that has less to do about keeping out unscrupulous actors and more to do about keeping out the competition.
A lot of government regulation, though, is not about broad issues of environment, public health or consumer protection.
Often, it is about trying to balance competing interests, even when those competing interests align themselves with partisan factions, industries or environmentalists.
One example recently crossed my desk dealing with coastal fisheries, coastal waters and the coastal economy.
It involves plans by Martin Marietta to put a limestone quarry just east of the town of Vanceboro near the Beaufort-Craven county lines.
The area is relatively poor, and plenty of local residents welcome any new economic activity.
What isn't so welcome are the company's plans to pump 9 million gallons of fresh water, pulled from an underground aquifer, into ditches and streams feeding a saltwater creek, Blounts Creek.
The opposition could be couched as environmental, as the fear is that this amount of freshwater will permanently alter the tidal creek, the surrounding plant life and the fish that live in the waters.
Several species of fish not only live there; the waters serve as their breeding grounds.
But the reality is that state regulators, as they try to decide whether to allow the water to be discharged, are trying to balance competing interests of humans, not fish.
The businesses that depend on the fish -- commercial fishermen, marinas, tackle stores and fishing guides, all of them critical to what is already a depressed economy in a rural county isolated from the development and economic riches along the state's beaches -- cannot go swim down to the next big tidal creek around the bend.
Those same business owners may curse some government regulations that they see as onerous or useless.
Meanwhile, those businesses are being protected by other regulations that at least force a quarry company to jump through hoops before it can forever change the waters that they depend on.

Upcoming reggae shows in Boston.Timeline: Reggae in BostonPhotos from Peter Simon's Reggae Scrapbook
I'm not in Montego Bay, or even South Florida, where at least palm trees and sweltering heat manifest convincing Caribbean illusions. I'm at the Western Front in Cambridge, eight blocks outside of Central Square and about 2000 miles from Trenchtown. And this is a typical Friday night here at the Front, where reggae and West Indian music have invigorated (and also aggravated) neighbors of the residentially situated two-story club every weekend for almost four decades. Halfway through the show, as Lady Lee (Boston's only prominent female reggae MC, or "toaster") cues her band and grabs two comparably angel-lunged male cohorts, Ajahni and Toussaint, for an encore, the spectacled kid — slipping into a sudden Pentecostal-esque spell — faints in the arms of his chesty homegirl. The music is so consuming, though, that hardly anybody notices. So, noble Samaritan that I am, I leave my Red Stripe on the bar and drag him to the bathroom to splash tap water on his face.
Reggae is now a much neglected genre. There are rarely any stories on local or nationally touring reggae acts in Boston's dailies, and there's not even a Boston Music Award for Outstanding Reggae Act. In fact, since its boom in the late 1970s — thanks primarily to the ascension of Bob Marley to international superstar and Third World ambassador, but also to a number of British artists (from Eric Clapton to the Clash) incorporating or covering reggae in their work — reggae has been marginalized by the pop-culture crowd. It's been written off as a musically adolescent tangent for slackers and hippies too stoned to know the difference. But it still has the power to mesmerize (and to cause seemingly able-bodied men to pass out).
Case in point: while the mainstream has slept on reggae, Beantown's roots and dancehall scenes are blazing, nursed by both a loyal and ever-growing West Indian population and an adventurous college demographic. There are even signs that reggae is once again ready to bite a serious slice of commercial pie in the Boston market. Recently, roots-dancehall hybrids (and North Shore natives) Nomad-I and Mighty Mystic packed the Paradise in February; the new House of Blues drew more than 1800 heads for once-Boston-based white-reggae outfit John Brown's Body in April; and fans from Lynn to Roxbury got their first dedicated Caribbean radio station, the pirate Big City 101.3 FM, in 2007. This summer's concert schedule is loaded with reggae events, from Burning Spear and Beres Hammond, to Shaggy and Caucasian prodigy Collie Buddz in June, many of which will sell out the city's largest arenas. Berklee-spawned Boston reggae champions Hot Like Fire will celebrate their 20th anniversary next Friday. Through it all, Blue Hill Avenue remains a booming and authentic strip for cutting-edge Caribbean riddims.

By NEMS Daily Journal
John Pitts got it right about bikes and the Trace
Having been a reader of the Daily Journal for over 60 years and a subscriber for 50-plus years, I have often been tempted to write my opinions many times of which I have plenty. In this case, I felt the urge to say "Amen" to writer John L. Pitts for his article titled "Natchez Trace too deadly for bicycles" (April 13, 2013). The article was too great for me to be silent.
As a boy, I rode many miles on my bike and early on was instructed by my parents and the police that the streets were for cars and trucks. I was also told to ride facing the traffic so that I might be able to see oncoming traffic and to avoid being hit.
Why has this very safe procedure been changed? I truly feel sorry for the loss of lives that has happened recently, but Mr. Pitts hit the nail directly on the head.
I own property at Van Vleet in Chickasaw County and travel the Natchez Trace quite often. On one occasion while coming home, I met a cyclist (on one of those bicycles you lay down on) in a driving downpour heading south completely in the middle of the lane and barely visible until almost too late. A little common sense on his part certainly should have been used.
If our government is so intent to spend our taxes on laws and signs for bicycle riders, then bicycle lanes should be provided for them (cyclists) at their expense or they should be required to give the right of way to the cars and trucks which their owners pay high fuel taxes for our roads in the first place.

Love the whole McQuarrie line - it's like a proto alternate SW universe. I wonder if they'd consider doing the early X-Wing or TIE designs in 4" scale? I could definitely see a McQuarrie/Johnston titanium series.

Eden's Four Corners Cafe offers heavenly meal
Nov 09, 2012 (The Buffalo News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- If you like good food at reasonable prices, you should check out the Four Corners Cafe in Eden. If you also like trains, and such things as specialty pancakes with chocolate chips or M&M's in them, you must check out the Four Corners Cafe.
This place is adorable, starting with the red, white and blue bunting-decorated exterior. Inside the large, comfortable dining room with wood accents, you get a real sense of place from the glass cases that display model train cars decorated with names of local businesses and even a couple of churches. But wait, what's that sound It's another model train chugging around the room on a track just under the ceiling.
The country decor had us smiling, and the menu continued the trend. The rural nature of Eden is reflected not only in some of the down-home choices -- sausage gravy, country biscuits and a Hungry Man breakfast -- but also in the prices. That country biscuit breakfast, with two eggs, sausage gravy and home fries, will set you back just $4.39; an order of two pancakes is just $2.99.
Speaking of that Hungry Man breakfast ($5.59 for two pancakes, two eggs and ham, bacon or sausage), there's also a Hungry Woman breakfast ($4.59 for one pancake, one egg and bacon, ham or sausage). There is also a choice of specialty pancakes (two for $4.09, three for $5.29) made with either chocolate chips or M&Ms. Talk about a child-pleaser! This is definitely a family-friendly spot. Our efficient server sped by with a coloring book for a restless youngster.
When a cup of tea was ordered, a small basket with an assortment of tea packets was produced, along with a steaming metal pot of hot water.
Nothing that we saw on the menu tops $10, not even the steak and eggs ($7) or the truly exceptional-sounding Italian omelette, made with ham, Italian sausage and provolone ($6.99).
The prices, in fact, were so reasonable that John, Pat, John and I ordered five breakfasts because we couldn't resist the description of the French toast, made with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon ($4.98). This bonus dish was set in the middle of the table while we each dug into our already generous meals. But we made a substantial dent in the French toast, too. It was delicious, with plenty of rich egginess and a slightly crunchy crust.
The ham and cheese omelette ($6.99) also got high marks. It arrived steaming, filled with delicious high-quality diced ham and melted cheese, with a side of hot home fries.
A simple breakfast of two pancakes ($2.99) and a side of meat (we chose bacon, $1.99) was perfectly cooked.
The corned beef hash was the classic preparation with tiny bits of potato and onion. The hash breakfast ($5.49) included two eggs, cooked over medium, as requested. This was ordered with thick slices of Texas toast, perfect for dipping into yolk.
The final choice of the breakfast skillet included eggs, home fries, sausage gravy and cheddar, but we weren't exactly sure how those ingredients would be combined. The answer is: brilliantly. The eggs were cooked into a flat disc, which was laid into a shallow bowl and filled with home fries, topped with a generous serving of sausage gravy studded with plenty of bits of breakfast sausage, then sprinkled with grated cheddar. The combination was not only creative but delicious.
We have heard about the excellent homestyle dinners served here on Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as desserts. It seems as thought a trip back to Eden might be in our future.
Four Corners Cafe Where: 8571 N. Main St., Eden (992-4347) Four pennies Hours: Opens at 6 a.m. daily except Sunday, when it opens at 7 a.m. It closes at 2 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday and around 8:45 p.m. Friday.

Derek Hansen, Scoutmaster, lightweight backpacker, and as his website says "hammock enthusiast", recently sent me a copy of his book "The Ultimate Hang". It is an illustrated guide to hammock camping and a book that even the most experienced hammock camper or backpacker should have on their shelf.
I read the book, skimming through some parts and diving into others in a weekend. It is an easy read and Derek has made learning more about hammock camping fun and simple through great illustrations.
I started hammock camping after the 2010 National Scout Jamboree where Hennessey Hammocks had a cool display. What first caught my eye was the affiliation that the hammock campers have with Leave No Trace. Even at the National Jamboree the Hammock display was set up next to the Leave No Trace organizations (LNT.org) display and activity center. I had just finished the Leave No Trace trainer course and so pairing the two was a natural fit. I wish I would have had "The Ultimate Hang" when I started gearing up for hammock camping. Starting on page 34 Derek covers the principles of leave no trace. Perfect!
The book takes the novice and experienced camper step by step to ensure a great hammock camping experience. Now, it won't say that in the book, but take it from me. If you do the things in the book, picking a choosing the gear that meets your needs and the set up that you are comfortable with, you will have a great experience.
That brings me to gear. Derek does not tell you what you should have. He demonstrates it all in this book. From whoopie slings to webbing and buckles. Bridge style hammocks to the "Bat hammock" he shows it all and lets the reader decide what he or she would be most comfortable in.
Even if you are not a hammock camper, there is something in this book for you. How to select a good camp site. The "Bearmuda Triangle" and an extensive discussion on tarps.
The book is interactive with QR codes that lead to web sites for more information.
Over all I find that this book is a great resource and a must have certainly for hammock campers, but for backpackers alike.
I highly recommend this book. You can order the book at The Ultimate Hang.com. At the website you can also get some fantastic advice, ideas, and thoughts on backpacking in the blog section. You need to check this out.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

RE:Boston Harbor 6/2
Mr. Pink is a great boatsman and knows the harbor well. It was nice to return to the places where I spent some summers on those 35' Novey Lobster boats. Boston Harbor is a gem that's cleaning up. Boat traffic was low, water flat. I'm learning so much every day of striper fishing with you guys.
It was nice to be stuck with the other Pollack pattern nut from last winter. There we were, chucking those flies we talked so much about back in Janury, into the rocks.
They seem to work well. One pollack actually chased my fly and the color was strikingly close- a copper brown on top, bronze on the sides. It was great to see Bob wrestle a couple of fattys out of the white wash by the rocks.
Bob, I shall reciprocate with an outing on the North Shore in my green flats metal beast when I finish my research into Essex, Parker, and Ipswich river. Thanks again.

Boston Harbor 6/2
Had the pleasure of spending the morning with SpringRun clavemiester TerryW on Boston harbor waters today. We had bait working in the first light right from the dock and by the time we hit West Gut there were fish breaking over a 1/2sq mile area. We started quick, hitting fish with a variety of flies and then in spite of being being surrounded, we couldn't buy a hit. Could not come up with a good match for the situation. The fish started breaking up once the commuter boats started their routes and we headed to Deer Island rip.
There was a nice rip line set back from the 6'-20' shelf and Terry dropped a white slider at the edge of the rip, strip twice and he was on to a nice 24 - 25" fish.
Our next stop was under large gulls working out beyond Boston Light. There were signs of large fish working the deep water ledges typical of that section of the outer harbor. We worked hard to find these widely spaced fish but were rewarded with nice fish in the upper 20's that hit HARD!
We finished by stalking the exposed ledges of Calf and Little Calf to find pollack hitting Terrys pollack pattern and the occasional striper holding tight to the rocky walls.
All and all, we had a great morning typical of the great fishing that Boston has to offer.
Terry, thanks for your great company and enthusiasm.

But it's what you can't see -- namely, the company's $7.4 billion backlog of engineering and energy-infrastructure projects -- that makes CB&I a compelling growth story and potentially rewarding investment.
Despite its name, Chicago Bridge and Iron primarily is a play on the global build-out of energy infrastructure. It also would benefit from nuclear power resurgence. Courtesy of Chicago Bridge and Iron
These days the company's rosy prospects come exceedingly cheaply. Due in part to cost-overruns at two projects in the U.K., which recently led to a large write-off and lowered earnings guidance, CB&I's CBI -2.019543973941368% Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. N.V.

Shares trade for a scant 11 times 2009 estimated earnings, well below the price/earnings ratios of competitors such as Jacobs Engineering JEC -1.4357501794687724% Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD54.92 -0.8 -1.4357501794687724% /Date(1493413404916-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 655612 AFTER HOURS USD54.92 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 25110 P/E Ratio 29.829992939003855 Market Cap 6746076220.17944 Dividend Yield 1.0924981791697015% Rev. per Employee 243558 More quote details and news » (JEC) and Shaw Group (SGR).
Wall Street has penciled in 2008 profits for CBI of only 60 cents a share, including a pretax charge of $2.38. Analysts forecast earnings of $3 a share next year, and $3.34 in 2010. Some think CB&I's stock could rally more than 20% in the next 18 months, and double in five years.
"If you took away these U.K. projects, our backlog and outlook would suggest earnings per share in excess of three bucks," says Philip Asherman, 57, Chicago Bridge & Iron's CEO. "We are confident in our opportunities and results, but credibility has to be proven."
On the plus side, Chicago Bridge pays a 16-cent annual dividend, for a modest yield of 0.5%. And, notwithstanding a moderation in commodity prices, it will continue to benefit from heavy investment globally in energy infrastructure. The International Energy Agency estimated in its 2007 report that $22 trillion is needed in energy-supply infrastructure investment by 2030.
The Bottom Line:
A recent earnings-miss flipped shares of Chicago Bridge and Iron into the bargain bin. Now around 33, the stock could rally to 40 in a year, and 75 in five years.
CB&I specializes in building structures for clean-burning natural gas, and also would be a big beneficiary of a resurgence in nuclear power, which seems likely in coming years. Acquisitions in the past decade, combined with heavy infrastructure spending, have boosted the company's revenue at a 32% compound annual rate since 2000.
About 55% of 2007 revenue of $4.5 billion came from liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) projects, chiefly liquefaction, which involves turning gas into a liquid prior to transport. The remaining 45% of revenue is split equally between energy processes, which include refining, nuclear and petrochemical work; and steel-plate structures like water- and oil-storage tanks.
Chicago Bridge is among the few engineering and construction firms with expertise in liquefaction, the first step in exporting natural gas, notes Shawn Driscoll, an analyst at T. Rowe Price Associates, which owned 1.6 million shares as of March 31. Chicago Bridge expects global demand for liquefaction facilities to double by 2012. "The margins are good; you dictate your price; a lot of this work has to get done; and the size of these projects is substantial," Driscoll says.
CB&I also benefits from the global infrastructure improvements needed to refine heavy crude oil, an increasing proportion of new oil production. The company's acquisition last year of Lummus Technologies gives CB&I high-margin technological tools for its petrochemical, refining and gas-processing projects, and more large customers, according to research from Johnson Rice.
DESPITE ITS NAME, Chicago Bridge & Iron is based in the Netherlands, though its operating headquarters is in Texas and its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The company traces its history to 1889, when a wooden-bridge builder named Horace Horton joined forces with a Kansas City outfit to form a metal-fabricating company on Chicago's South Side. Today about 55% of revenue comes from outside the U.S.
Although CB&I's net loss totaled $140.5 million, or $1.47 a share, in the second quarter, absent one-time charges the company earned $159 million, or 91 cents a share. Even better, its backlog, which includes the expansion of existing work in Canada's oil sands, and projects in Latin America, rose 9% from a year ago. Given the multiyear nature of infrastructure projects, oil prices would have to plummet before that backlog eroded.
The IEA expects global demand for natural gas to grow 2.1% a year, on average, between 2005 and 2030. LNG's contribution has been growing even faster. That's because places with natural-gas-powered electricity and dwindling domestic resources, like Europe and the U.S., have little alternative but to import gas, a development that plays to CB&I's strengths. Suddenly, stranded natural gas in the Middle East, Africa and Asia has a market, if transported in liquid form. In its 2007 report, the IEA said the wave of LNG supply-chain construction now underway "is expected to result in a near-doubling of liquefaction and shipping capacity between now" and the start of the next decade.
Alas, projections for continued infrastructure spending have taken a back seat to CB&I's troubles in the U.K. If the company can sign more "cost-plus" contracts, big charges like the one devastating earnings this year will be a thing of the past. Roughly 70% of CB&I's backlog is reimbursed at fixed cost, according to John B. Rogers, an analyst at D.A. Davidson with a Buy rating on the stock.
To address cost and execution risk, Chicago Bridge is relying more on prefabricated structures that can be shipped; they offer more predictability, safety and productivity at work sites. The company also has said it will enforce more stringent, low-risk bidding on projects. Combined with industry capacity shortages, CB&I should be able to negotiate better terms. "Historically, project losses have been followed by periods of improved profitability," Rogers wrote in a recent report. He thinks the stock could climb to 40 in 12 months, about 20% above today's price, and hit 75 in five years.
Chicago Bridge & Iron now specializes in converting natural gas to liquid. And it does so far more profitably than its depressed shares would suggest, reports Barron's Dimitra DeFotis. (Aug. 4)
In the short term, as Asherman notes, CB&I faces a credibility test. The U.K. project overruns were "extraordinary," he says. "We feel the spending cycle is nowhere near the end, and ... when you look at the company exclusive of those U.K. projects, we are tracking at higher-than-normal margins," he adds.
The company also is dealing with legal woes. Last month CB&I settled a $10.5-million investor lawsuit stemming from accounting problems in 2005 and '06. In addition, it plans to divest some U.S. assets after unsuccessfully appealing a government antitrust ruling. Asherman told analysts last week the company will provide details "in a matter of weeks," or before the next earnings call.
If Chicago Bridge isn't completely out of the woods, "the worst is behind them," says Basu Mullick, a portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman, the second-largest institutional holder at the end of the first quarter, with 6.6 million shares. That may well mean the best lies ahead.

Warhol film to premiere at conference on 'pop,' Nov. 15-16
Posted November 11, 2002; 11:30 a.m.
A film by Andy Warhol that has never been screened for the public will have its world premiere at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15, at the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
The 66-minute excerpt of the movie, titled "Since," is a farcical re-enactment of the Kennedy assassination. It was filmed in 1966 on a couch at Warhol's legendary studio, The Factory. The film is part of a project at New York's Museum of Modern Art to restore hundreds of hours of films made by Warhol. The project's curator, Callie Angell, will introduce the movie.
"It's a very chaotic film," Angell said. "The camera work is very wild." She described the dialogue as "witty and irreverent."
The premiere is part of a conference titled "Art, Architecture and Film in the First Pop Age," that will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, at Betts Auditorium in the School of Architecture. The goal of the conference is to look at pop in a broad way by jointly examining artists, filmmakers and architects that are associated with the pop movement.
"There is a lot of renewed interest among different types of scholars in that period, and we're trying to get those different components to talk to each other," said Branden Joseph, a lecturer in the Council of the Humanities and a Cotsen Fellow in the Society of Fellows.
Speakers will discuss artists Jasper Johns, James Rosenquist, Richard Hamilton and Gerhard Richter as well as architect John McHale, architectural critic Reyner Banham and writer J.G. Ballard. Princeton faculty members who will participate include Harold Foster in art and archaeology and Beatriz Colomina in architecture. A complete list of speakers and a conference schedule are available online.
The conference is sponsored by the , the Program in Media and Modernity and the School of Architecture .

Human disease, an impairment of the normal state of a human being that interrupts or modifies its vital functions.
Health versus disease
Before human disease can be discussed, the meanings of the terms health, physical fitness, illness, and disease must be considered. Health could be defined theoretically in terms of certain measured values; for example, a person having normal body temperature, pulse and breathing rates, blood pressure, height, weight, acuity of vision, sensitivity of hearing, and other normal measurable characteristics might be termed healthy. But what does normal mean, and how is it established? It is well known that if ... (100 of 23,268 words)

Andrew Forrest grew up on a cattle station in Australia's remote Pilbara, among Aboriginal children, and counts his family's head stockman, Scotty Black, as a mentor.
So when he became a multi-billionaire on the back of the Pilbara's rich iron ore deposits, it seemed only fitting that he should commit himself to improving the lives of the region's indigenous people.
Nearly five years after dispatching its first ore shipment to China, however, Forrest's Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) stands accused of buying off traditional owners and dividing Aboriginal communities to secure cheap land access deals. The company is also alleged to have pressured heritage consultants to play down the significance of sacred sites on mining land.
The controversy relates to the traditional country in far northwestern Australia of the Yindjibarndi people, beneath which lie an estimated three billion tonnes of high-grade iron ore, worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Fortescue, which is developing a massive new mine called Solomon Hub, has been trying for years to strike an agreement with landowners.
While mining companies generally offer royalties of 0.5 per cent of the value of ore extracted, Forrest believes the best way to address indigenous disadvantage is by providing training and employment. Fortescue has offered the Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (YAC), which represents landholders, income of A$4 million ($5 million) a year, plus jobs, training and housing worth A$7 million annually.
But according to the YAC's chairman, Michael Woodley, locals want a "fair share" of the mineral wealth in order to set up their own enterprises. After talks broke down, a splinter group appeared in 2011: the Wirlumurra Yindjibarndi Aboriginal Corporation (WMYAC), consisting of elders willing to accept FMG's deal.
Two years on, though, negotiations remain mired in legal battles between the two organisations, and the Yindjibarndi are bitterly divided.
Woodley believes the WMYAC has been created and financed by Fortescue. The company admits funding a meeting which voted for the WMYAC to take over representation of landholders, but refuses to comment on reports that it paid A$500 to every WMYAC member who attended.
Forrest was named Australia's richest man in 2008, with a fortune valued at A$9.4 billion. He was, he said, determined to help break the cycle of Aboriginal poverty and welfare dependency, and in 2010 he set himself the goal of securing pledges from big corporations of 50,000 jobs for indigenous people. He also founded Generation One, a not-for-profit organisation aimed at improving education, training and job opportunities.
But Forrest's mining career, which began with an attempt to establish a nickel mine in the 1990s, has been beset by repeated controversy. Sued over the failure of that mine, he was described by the trial judge as "quite untruthful". Last year, he escaped being banned as a company director after the High Court overturned a ruling that he had misled FMG investors.
He has been dogged for years by allegations that he uses "divide and rule" tactics with Aboriginal communities - courting receptive individuals or factions and then persuading them to sign deals favourable to FMG. Minara Resources, to whom he sold his first company, Anaconda Nickel, told the Australian Financial Review magazine in 2006: "There was an awful lot of cash passed around to have groups sign off." Forrest - who is now FMG's non-executive chairman, but was involved in talks with both the YAC and WMYAC - has always denied any impropriety in dealings with landowners.
Woodley claims that Fortescue is "pulling the strings" of the WMYAC - an assertion backed by Kerry Savas, a former lawyer for the Wirlumurra, and, recently, by the group's own chairman, Bruce Woodley, who is Michael Woodley's uncle. One heritage consultant engaged by FMG told the DIA in 2010 that she had been instructed by the company to remove sections of her report - and told that if she failed to do so, outstanding invoices totalling A$70,000 would not be paid. Another consultant, Brad Goodes, told ABC TV's 7.30 Report that Fortescue tried to pressure him into deleting references in his report to the mythical significance to the Jindjibarndi of a creek within the Solomon mine site.
A Fortescue spokeswoman said the firm commissions "hundreds of heritage reports each year. Sometimes we disagree with the content ... and request changes. There is nothing unusual about this."
FMG's chief executive, Nev Power, said told the Herald that the company was committed to developing relationships with indigenous communities, and had already signed seven agreements with landowner groups. It employs 1000 Aboriginal people in the Pilbara. "To those people who say 'just give us the cash and we'll set up our own businesses', I say 'show me the model that's worked and we're happy to come and support that'. There's no evidence in any indigenous community I'm aware of where an enterprise or company has been able to provide that level of employment [provided by the mining industry]."
Allery Sandy, a Yindjibarndi elder and spokeswoman for the WMYAC, denies that Fortescue set up the group. "None of the white men had anything to do with it. We got no respect from the other lot [the YAC]; we were put down and had no voices. So we just gave up and said, 'Enough of the arguing, we want to get on and make a better future for the next generation."'

Worldwide Release Dates
Discuss this movie. Filmed April 29-June 30, 2008
Available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Good news for The Netherlands, I just found out that 'I Love You Phillip Morris' has got a new release date for that country. 15 October 2009 !
There's a good chance that it will be 14 October for Belgium, but that's not confirmed yet. I guess Europe will see this movie months before the USA does.
Good news. Updated the first post also with a few other countries.

Boy oh boy! Belgium (where I live) has a release date finally. September 9, not best date to bring out a movie, but I'm glad it's so fast!
Bad news for Belgium, the release date has changed. 17 feb 2010 it is. Seems that it has something to do with the fact they don't have anything to promote the movie. I have a feeling some countries will follow.
On the other hand ... I have the feeling it might show up in Ghent (Belgium) for the The Filmfestival of Ghent (big in Europe) in october, a couple of years ago 'Eternal Sunshine' won the money-price on that festival.
And my feeling was right. As you can see on IMDB all the release dates are updated. Now everybody has to wait till 2010.
USA 18 January 2009 (Sundance Film Festival)
Germany 7 February 2009 (European Film Market)
France 19 May 2009 (Cannes Film Festival)
Netherlands February 2010
USA 5 February 2010 (limited)
USA 12 February 2010
Belgium 17 February 2010
Sweden 26 February 2010
Brazil 2 April 2010
What the..?!
Finlands release date has changed AGAIN!!
I was first waiting to see this flick on March, then now in September and now I have to still wait to February 2010!
This really sucks, does anyone know what is the reason to these changes?
Riddle me this...Riddle me that! Who's afraid of the big black bat?
USA/Canada is always the same day.

Um I don't understand this. All of the release dates on here and IMDB are saying 2010 for all countries. Yet what's the go with the film being released in some places on september 9, 2009...??? As in this month, who and what is that? Why isn't it being reflected in the release dates?
The release dates have been changes to 2010. It will be released in France and many other countries closer to the US date and Valentines Day.
Guees there have been some editing of the movie after the problems it had to get a US distributor. Now there is time to plan a good promotion strategy.

Exhibition themes
The Andes mountains form a spine running down western South America, dividing desert coastal regions from the Amazon Basin. Nine thousand years ago, nomadic hunter-gatherers in Peru became farmers who domesticated plants and animals. These subjects can be seen in the art produced on the north coast as early as 2000 BC.
The many and various ancient Peruvian societies shared many beliefs, inventions and discoveries. The world consisted of three realms: the sky where the gods live, represented by birds, the earth where humans live and work, represented by felines, and the underworld where the dead dwell, represented by serpents. Liquids—water, chicha [corn liquor] and blood—were exchanged between these levels. Priests and rulers performed ceremonies and gave offerings, asking for rain and sunlight to produce food from the earth. Blood sacrifice was needed to avoid catastrophes such as earthquakes, droughts and floods.
Technological advances in stone carving, ceramics, weaving and metalwork were shaped into a dazzling aesthetic framework, seen in cultures from the Chavín (1500–200 BC) to the Inca (1400–1533 AD).
Our knowledge of their world derives from the evidence of these brilliant objects which have been excavated from tombs and sites across Peru. A wealth of remarkable art from Peru remains, despite looting due to ancient military conquests, the Spanish conquistadors and recent grave-robbers. Modern archaeologists continue to discover ancient grave sites.

Enfusion Live Barcelona Full Fight Card For March 9
- Written by Rian Scalia
Enfusion Live is set to make a huge splash this year with ten events scheduled and another reality show. So far, the fight cards are looking solid and if we can get ten events looking like the ones that are currently scheduled, I don't think anyone will be disappointed. One of Enfusion Live's currently scheduled events takes place in Barcelona, Spain on March 9 and features some big names.
There are two big, main fights taking place on the card. First off, at 70kg Abraham Roqueni will fight Artur Kyshenko. This is a particularly interesting match-up with Kyshenko coming off his loss to Murthel Groenhart in the finals of the K-1 MAX 2012 WGP, while Roqueni scored a dominant win over Xu Yan on the same event. Roqueni has shown he can hang with pretty much anyone at 70kg. He gives trouble to some fighters with his style, which can be seen on full display in his fights against Andy Souwer.
Then there's the big 85kg fight between Sahak Parparyan and Barcelona's own Cesar Cordoba, one of the best Spanish kickboxers ever. For the past couple years, Cordoba has been very quiet, doing a bit of pro boxing and fighting kickboxing here and there in his hometown and now he's taking the step back up to the world stage, fighting one of the top 85kg fighters in kickboxing. Cordoba is 32 and still has a lot left in the tank and I expect this to be a very competitive match.
Also on the card at will be the return of Harut Grigorian, who hasn't fought kickboxing since his loss to Murthel Groenhart back in May. He faces Juanma Chacon of Spain. Enfusion Live will also introduce a 70kg title on the event, and Spain's David Calvo will fight Slovenia's Mirko Vorkapic for it.
Another 85kg bout will see It's Showtime veteran Moises Ruibal fight the surging Slovenian, Tadej Toplak, who comes off his biggest win yet over Ivan Stanic at the Enfusion: Trial of the Gladiators final in December. To end out the six main fights, we get a women's fight featuring Denise Kielholtz and Maribel Sousa at 56kg.
A few interesting lightweight fights on the card are Nico Barbera vs. formerly LiverKick ranked Ruben Almeida and German Tabuenca vs. Vardan Minsakatian.
Abraham Roqueni vs. Artur Kyshenko
Sahak Parparyan vs. Cesar Cordoba

By Ben Levisohn
Shares of Pepsi (PEP) are gaining today after the company reported better-than-expected earnings as solid snacks trumped sinking soda sales.
The Wall Street Journal has the details:
The maker of Lay's potato chips and Pepsi colas posted a flat profit for the quarter, though earnings beat Wall Street estimates. Organic revenue, which excludes the effects of foreign exchange, improved 3.3%, driven by growth in Frito-Lay North America, Latin America foods and in key developing and emerging markets such as China and Brazil.
PepsiCo reported a profit of $1.91 billion, or $1.23, a share, up from $1.9 billion, or $1.21 a share, a year earlier. Excluding items such as mark-to-market losses on commodity hedges and restructuring charges, core earnings totaled $1.24 a share from $1.20 a share. Revenue rose 1.5% to $16.91 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently forecast earnings of $1.17 a share on revenue of $16.96 billion.
Citigroup's Wendy Nicholson calls the report mixed:
While many of PEP's segments showed strength in 3Q (most notably FLNA, LatAm Foods, China, and Brazil), we also saw weaker results in Americas Beverages (which we are used to seeing) and AMEA (which we aren't used to seeing, but slowed in 3Q owing mainly to political unrest in Egypt and an aggressive pricing environment in India). As for PEP's flagship Americas Beverages segment, mgmt acknowledged the category "doesn't have a lot of growth in it" although they do want to maintain rational pricing while also searching for operational improvements to enhance margins. Also notable, PEP stated that its R&D remains on track to release a new product in 2014 (likely involving natural sweeteners and possibly new flavoring agents).
Shares of PepsiCo have gained 1.6% to $81.89, while Coca-Cola (KO), which released earnings yesterday, has risen 0.6% to $37.88 and Dr. Pepper Snapple (DPS) has advanced 2.1% to $44.68.

The Sulphur Springs ISD police department notified the Sulphur Springs Police that they had information about a teacher at a SSISD school having a relationship with a female student in the district.
Special Crimes Unit officers Lt. Harold McClure and Detective Sergeants Mark Estes and Tony Crouse investigated the allegation. As they interviewed the high school teacher, Donnie Merle Martin, he confessed to having had sexual contact with a female student.
Martin was taken into custody on Tuesday, November 19, on a 2nd degree felony offense of having an improper relationship between an educator and a student.
Martin was transported to the county jail, and his bond was set at $20,000.
Sulphur Springs ISD officials were not available for comment Wednesday due to the school holiday.

Just 600 miles short-- Driver OK
Just 600 miles short-- Driver OK
That sucks. I'll have ta look into the details later: I wanna know who was responsible for it.
Apparently there was a car crash just ahead of the Roadster. And apparently they are trying to fix it and complete the tour nevertheless...
If I was in Germany (which unfortunately I'm not) I'd lend him parts off my roadster long enough to get him finished. I hope he can still win.
TM put 5 techs on it full-time! Up to the painting stage now. He had about a 10-day lead on the French team, so should make it!!
I don't know how this would work on a forum like this but is it somehow possible to merge the thread below to this one?
Can a fellow German roadster owner lend him their car and/or possibly join him on the last leg of the race?
x-posting here: Just tweeted that car will be ready at 17h (probably meaning 5pm german time) today. No weeks, just three days after the crash. Great job Tesla!!
Like anyone doubted Tesla would be anything but awesome :P
Tesla rocked the repair, the car is on the road again. Congrats Tesla, go Rafael De Mestre!!
"Congrats Tesla, go* Rafael De Mestre!!"
But please, watch where you're going!
Yes, avoid pile-ups at all costs! Be ready to levitate the car on a moment's notice!
No need to levitate if you just keep reaction time + distance to stop the car to car in front of you. Unfortunately people tend to drive closer to each other than that, and if you leave that gap there is someone trying to get to that space.
...resisting temptation to rant...succeed.
In case you hadn't heard:
European Commission plans to make Autonomous Emergency Braking systems (AEBs) a mandatory requirement in all new vehicles on the Continent by 2014.
Hopefully we can get this in the US also

All round good garage. With good mechanics
Stayed late on a bank holiday weekend, fixed my car promptly. Great service from great guys.
The problem was identified as lack of oil in the gearbox, after driving for a few hours there is oil all over the underside of the car, my usual mechanic who i have brought the car back has said that this should have been identified. I essentially paid £110 for nothing.
Alternator broke on weekend. Used this site and mobile car service responded straight away with a great price. Booked in for Monday morning and fixed by the aftetnoon, couldn't have asked for more. Thanks.
Quick and efficient service, was very attentive and friendly in offering advice on what needed to be done. I will be definitely using in the future
Awesome garage! Good and fast service and really nice & friendly guys. Really reasonable pricing and honest work, highly recommended. Thanks Al and Patrick!
very professional and polite
excellent job
Awesome garage! Really good service and really nice bunch of guys, Happy to help and completely honest. Really reasonable quote but didn't skimp on the job. Great mechanics. Highly recommended. Cheers Al!
I had a great experience at Autowerke. They got back to me very fast with a great quote and when I arrived they had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. They're a bit of a community hub as well so even local people and regular customers seem to pop in for an occasional chat. The work was done quickly and to a great standard. I will return there should I need any further work.
Did not use the garage
Nobody contacted me the garage did not even call me and this is two attempts to use a service from this site with no one getting back to arrange an appointment had to use Kwikfit to get my car done
Very good service
its very good i got good service
Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.
New clutch, one new tyre and a few other little bits, highly recommend, good service and kept me updated throughout
Alex was friendly and informative, I would recommend this garage. My car was fixed within 24 hours which was great and as an extra bonus i was also provided a courtesy car which was very handy. This garage will be my go-to garage from now. Thank you very much.
absolutely superb service from Alex. highly recommended and i will continue to use for all my cars. the guy was very honest and fair and treated us better then most main dealers. Southgate motor engineering is a example to how all garages should do business.customer for life
had my car remapped stage 1 from 122 bhp - 142 bhp Made a really nice change to the car with the extra power, great work at a great garage, would recommend 100%
Absolutely brilliant service. Quoted and delivered work faster than expected. Would definitely recommend.
Had some extra work done
They did a great job and it was all done very quickly. I'd certainly go back.
Great, final bill ended up being less than what was quoted!
Excellent customer service
Very quick and friendly service.

Hey Greg. Been trying to reach you. The number I have is not working. I have a question about a dog I bought from you. Please give me a call. Bill Elkins 270-293-8140
I am in Texas for good. I just was in Virginia and she is doing well. She is there demo dog and is spoiled. She is being well taken care of! Thanks about Clyde. He is now on the derby list with 11 points. Placed in every trial so far. No lower than 3rd. Philo is doing well also. He got a jam and a 4th. I only ran 4 derbies so far. Had to put Tera down last week. She was a hard one to put down but cancer was eating her up.
Hey Greg! Awesome job you are doing with Clyde & Philo!!!! You must be on cloud 9! Hope all is well with you! Did I see you are headed to TX? Permanently now? Any word on Koko? Is she in Virginia yet?
Take care of yourself! Super job again!

A New Look for the TreasuryDirect Home Page
Weve redesigned our home page to make your experience on our website better, based on testing we conducted with users. Well post the new home page by March 1st.
The new TreasuryDirect.gov home page reflects the latest in web design:
- use of rotating stage images at the top of the page to emphasize major programs,
- more extensive header and footer navigation to get you easily to the different sections of our site.
The new design makes the account login easier for you to find. It's now at the top of the right hand navigation. The highlights are also easier to find across the page below the three columns. The link text is shorter to reduce clutter.
Here's what the new page will look like:
(NOTE: Because of the rotating stage images, you may see a different image when the page first comes up.)

"Caravina is no ordinary second wine. This beautiful offering exhibits notes of sweet Chinese black tea intermixed with hints of white chocolate, black currants, and dried herbs. Elegant and finesse-styled, it is completely different from the powerful, muscular, masculine 2002. It offers outstanding richness, a big, scorched earth, Graves-like note intermixed with black currants, plums, chocolate, and earth. The stylish, charming, seductive should drink well for 10-15 years. Rating: 91." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Seavey Vineyard's fifth estate-produced Caravina Cabernet, the 2003, was made from 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc that came from vines planted on several different locations of the south-facing hillside vineyard, and were harvested during the first three weeks in October. Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the juice remained in contact with the skins for an average of 14 days and, following malolactic fermentation, was aged in French oak barrels (40% new oak) and bottled in May 2005. The 2003 Caravina is soft, deep, rich, concentrated and lush with abundant amounts of chocolate infused blackberry and currant fruit.
