The England prop is set to win his 36th Test cap in Saturday's opening World Cup showdown in Dunedin - but his first against the Pumas.
England face a tough pool with the heavy-scrummaging Georgia and Romania to follow before the tete-a-tete with Scotland in Auckland, when quarter-final places will be on the line.
That is just the challenge that excites Stevens, who feels as if he is making "a new start" with England after coming back from a two-year drugs ban.
On Saturday, Stevens is likely to come across figures such as Mario Ledesma, Marcos Ayerza, Rodrigo Roncero or Martin Scelzo who he believes would all challenge for a World XV.
"Argentina have got some great front rows and we are relishing the challenge," said Stevens.
"Scrummaging is about experience. Front row players get better with age and that is the case of Argentina.
"Their front row would definitely be pushing to be the best in the world. The Argentinian front row are good ball carriers as well, they are not just scrummagers.
"What you will notice about Argentinian sides is that it is an eight-man effort. I think they were the first team to really spearhead scrummaging as an eight.
"That is what we have done as a pack in the last four or five years. We have tried to push our work with the clubs and with England to scrum as an eight.
"New Zealand are very good at it, the South Africans are coming up but the Argentina spearheaded it in and we are matching them."
Stevens, who will discover on Thursday whether he starts against the Pumas, was the chief guitar player in the England squad in 2007.
'The Gambler' by Kenny Rogers was adapted as the tour song at that World Cup.
England are yet to finalise a tune for this trip - but they have at least four guitar players in the squad so should be able to think of something bonding.
"It was 'The Gambler' a few years ago. It is a good team spirit. Manu has got his, Matt Banahan has got his, Jonny has got his - he is very good at it, like everything.
"Music is a big part of any World Cup whether it is the fans playing and singing their different songs or the teams.
"It was definitely a binding experience, that last World Cup, and I am sure we will get it in there."

US Industrial Companies Finding Growth
Tony is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It has been a good quarterly earnings season for US industrial companies. Companies such as Boeing and Caterpillar raised their outlook for 2012 while others like General Electric and DuPont comfortably beat Wall Street expectations.
However, some analysts say they see storm clouds looming on the horizon for these companies as a global slowdown takes hold, particularly in China. There is some data which supports this thesis. US business investment shrank at an annual 2.1 percent rate in the first quarter of 2012. Contrast that to a robust 5.4 percent growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2011. Durable goods orders in March also fell by 4.2 percent, the steepest drop in three years.
But what about the elephant in the room, China? No doubt its economy is slowing to a certain degree, but US manufacturers say that China is not the only place they do business overseas
Take Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT), for instance, which in the past has touted its rapidly growing Chinese business to investors. Caterpillar has 16 manufacturing facilities in China with 9 more under construction. But, while growing rapidly, China accounts for just 10 percent of the company's Asia-Pacific sales and just 3 percent of its global revenues. So a slowdown there will hurt but will not be devastating to Caterpillar's fortunes, especially since sales in the US have exceeded company expectations.
Caterpillar like other US manufacturers have counted on Asia in the past several years for the growth component to their business. But it looks like it will have to be a different story this year. Companies may have to rely on other emerging markets and renewed growth in the United States for any growth in their business. Eaton, for example, raised its growth expectation for US sales from 6 percent to 9 percent.
But what is really interesting is how well business in the other emerging markets besides China is doing for US industrial firms. Chemicals giant DuPont (NYSE: DD), in its most recent earnings statement said that revenues in Asia (thanks largely to China) fell by 2 percent while other areas in the emerging world showed strength. DuPont said sales climbed by 23 percent in Latin America and by 30 percent in the Middle East.
A similar tune was sung by United Technologies (NYSE: UTX). It stated that orders in the first quarter from China fell by 15 percent, led by a drop in orders for its Otis elevator division. But orders climbed by about 20 percent in the other BRIC countries – Brazil, India and Russia. Its chief financial officer, Greg Hayes, said "The problem in emerging markets for us is really isolated to China."
And let's not forget about that bellwether of US industrial firms, General Electric (NYSE: GE). It tells a fairly similar tale, but with a bonus of persistently strong sales growth in China. For GE, Chinese sales growth in the first quarter of 2012 came in at an impressive 18 percent. But China was outperformed by its emerging market peers. Sales for General Electric in Latin America were up 35 percent and sales in Russia nearly doubled!
Bottom line for investors in industrial stocks? Don't panic about the slowdown which is occurring right now in China. It will likely not last long and the Chinese economy will still be growing at a mid single-digit percent rate. In the meantime, the rest of the emerging world has not disappeared. That will offer US industrial companies lots of opportunities for growth.

One of the restaurants on a cruise I was on a few years ago had several high back dining chairs, and there was something so fun and mystical about them. I don't know if it's because they seem so unsuspected, but since then, I love a good high back chair – whether its in a dining room or living room.
They're just fun to sit in, right? In an Alice in Wonderland kind of way, if that makes any sense. I would love to incorporate high back chairs into a seating area in a dramatic living room one day. I like the outdoor chairs as well, though, and could definitely spend endless afternoons getting lost in them.
How about you?

By Ryan Divish/Havre Daily News Sports email@example.com
I guess this whole Bracket Ball thing could be construed as collegiate, frivolous and juvenile. But it's my sports section and it's don't-take-yourself-too-seriously day to today.
After all, how can you not be happy about the fact that the NCAA tournament is starting today. There are few sporting events that live up to the media hype surrounding them better than March Madness.
Think about it.
It's basically four weeks of action with people fretting over busted brackets, cheering colossal upsets and fantastic college basketball action.
Initially, I wasn't going run the bracket ball contest this year. It seemed a little sophomoric, maybe too college newspaper-esque. But a few people asked me about it, and as my colleague, George pointed out, "That's who you are."
You know what? He's right. I make no apologies for wanting to lighten things up in the sports page with references to Britney Spears, or "The Real World" or beating up Ben Affleck.
Somebody once said, "the more serious you take yourself, the less serious everyone else takes you."
I'm not going to be a pompous know-it-all jerk, who thinks that everything needs to be serious and sober (maybe be a bad word choice there), how about solemn.
Realistically, it is the sports page. And sports were created first and foremost to be fun for the participants - not for credibility and popularity.
So let's lighten the mood. Lace up your sneakers, find your favorite college sweatshirt, turn your hat backwards and yell like a lunatic at the television because Bracket Ball is back.
Ryan Divish
HDN Sports Editor
I'll go first, because, well, I am writing this. You may not believe it, but this is my best chance for redeeming myself from this embarrassing football season.
One problem I have when it comes to picking things is that I still go with my heart over my head. I can't help it. That is why you will never see the Duke Blue Devils winning the title or even making the Final Four in my brackets.
As a University of North Carolina fan, I would sooner jam a blazing hot fire poker in my eye before picking Duke to win anything. It's just that simple. Also, Duke cheats. The refs give them more calls. Don't believe me, watch closely and count how many Duke players, besides Shavlik Randolph, foul out in the tourney.
Since, I always pick Carolina, I am at an advantage this year, because they have more talent than any team in the country.
However, filling out brackets is about picking upsets, especially early rounds. For my upsets, I like UM-Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, UCLA, Creighton, New Mexico and Old Dominion in first-round upsets.
I've got Kentucky, Illinois, Wake Forest and the mighty, mighty Tarheels in the Final Four with North Carolina knocking off the Illini in the championship.
George Ferguson
HDN Sports Editor
Besides being shorter than 5-9, watching way too much television and having an unnatural obsession for Griz football, George and I also have something else in common: he's a diehard Tarheel fan. So you would think that he has the Tarheels penciled in every bracket. Nope. The little pessimist never picks his own team. He instead subscribes to the reverse psychology theory, believing if he picks Carolina to lose in the finals, they will actually win.
Are you asking yourself some questions about George? Well here's the answer: "Yes, he does have too much free time to think this stuff up."
As for first-round upsets, he also has UM-Milwaukee knocking off Alabama. He also took Pittsburgh, New Mexico, North Carolina State and Iowa in other upsets.
He also is anti-Duke, picking Syracuse, UNC, Illinois and Wake Forest in the Final Four with the Illini edging the Tarheels in the championship.
Harvey Brock
HDN Publisher
I was actually surprised to see Harvey in the office today. After all, he was in Boise all week and his beloved Arizona Wildcats open the tournament in Boise today. However, he didn't know the Cats were there until it was too late. So instead of seeing a very talented Arizona team and even more talented Arizona cheerleader squad, he gets to see my smiling face. Not much of a trade off is it?
So being a diehard Arizona fan, Harvey has the Cats going to the Final Four in St. Louis. Nope, maybe he's following George's reverse psychology theory. Actually, Harvey is a bigger pessimist than George when it comes to cheering for his own team. But I guess that happens when you also cheer for Montana State.
Harvey has second-seeded Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech making the Final Four along with fourth-seeded Syracuse and North Carolina, with OSU knocking off UNC in an upset in the championship game.
You know he picked against Carolina just to spite me.
Shawn Huse
Lights head basketball coach
In the past we've made fun of Shawn for picking "chalk," or the higher seed in every game of his bracket. And we'd still probably be making fun of him for it this year.
However, he got a little crazy, or a lot crazy, depending on your point of view. Shawn picked the upset of upsets, going with the 16th-seeded University of Montana to upset top-seeded University of Washington today in Boise.
Let's be clear, no 16 seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed in the tournament. Ever. So yes, this is definitely not chalk.
"I gotta pick the Griz; my brother (Brad) is a coach," he said. "Aren't you picking your alma mater."
"Look, I'm all for supporting my old school, but I'm not stupid," I replied.
As for other first-round upsets, there were none.
Shawn did go a little different picking Illinois, Georgia Tech, Connecticut and Kentucky in the Final Four with Illinois beating UCONN.
John Barnhorst
HHS boys basketball coach
This is John's debut on Bracket Ball, so there is definitely some pressure. But one thing is for certain, he knows his college hoops. He watches a ton of basketball and knows plenty about the college game.
It showed in his picks. He had several upsets in the first round going with UW-Milwaukee, St. Mary's, Pittsburgh, Texas-El Paso, Mississippi State and Iowa in surprise wins.
For his Final Four picks, he went with Illinois, Wake Forest, Kansas and dark-horse Oklahoma. In the finals, he has Wake Forest knocking off Oklahoma in the finals.
What's even better is that he didn't pick Duke, which is good considering his top assistant Dustin Kraske is a big Blue Devil fan. You gotta respect a head coach that is willing to put his assistants in their place.
Jason Wirt
HHS girls basketball coach
If anyone would pick against the Tarheels to spite me and George, it would be our childhood buddy Jason. But he didn't, instead going with his obvious smarts, picking Oklahoma State, Gonzaga, UNC and Syracuse in the Final Four.
I would mock Jason's knowledge about hoops but that would be a mistake. If there was ever a person who the new digital video recording service was suited for, it's him.
He's constantly recording games and watching them later. Maybe he's looking for some plays for his girls squad, but I think it's more that he's a basketball junkie.
As for first-round upsets, Jason went with Nevada, Pittsburgh, Mississippi State and New Mexico.
Although Jason did pick Carolina to make the championship, it would be too much to pick the Tarheels as champs. Instead, he went with the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
Brett Hamilton
HHS boys freshman coach
'H" as we like to refer to him was always the teacher that incorporated sports into class, whether it was extra credit on tests or just simply having posters of his beloved Green Bay Packers or those rotten New York Yankees in his classroom.
We won't hold the Yankee thing against him, although we should.
When Brett handed me his bracket, he uttered, "I had to follow my Dick Vitale in this."
Okay, don't ever mention Dick Vitale, or should I call him Duke Vitale, to me. I can't stand the guy. If you followed Vitale's advice, you'd have Duke beating an NBA all-star team and then heading out for charity work afterward.
Fortunately, Brett only took Vitale's advice minimally, picking Duke, Carolina, Wake Forest and Illinois in the Final Four with Illinois beating UNC.
Brett went with Nevada, St. Mary's, Pittsburgh and Mississippi State in first-round upsets.
Scott Miller
HHS junior
We added a high school player to the group last year with Jeremy Giardina, who subsequently finished last. This year, George nominated "Mills" to be our guest picker and I figured why not. After Giardina's performance last year, I wasn't too worried about getting beat.
After nearly freezing his fingers off at yesterday's tennis practice, Scott thawed out in time to fill out a bracket. With some good picks, he could have bragging rights over his basketball coach (John) and more importantly his tennis coach (George).
As for his bracket, Scott showed a definite willingness to pick some upsets, going with Nevada, the University of Alabama-Birmingham, St. Mary's, Iowa State, Mississippi State and Old Dominion in upset wins.
His Final Four picks have even more surprises with fourth-seed Louisville and Syracuse, second-seed Oklahoma State and of course, North Carolina.
He has North Carolina defeating OSU in the finals. Did I mention what a good kid Scott is? Did I mention how smart he obviously is by picking Carolina? And they say kids today aren't as smart as they used to be.

Super comfortable "sandals". I originally ordered my normal size, but after receiving the first pair, they felt one size too small. The next size up was perfect. I wear them all the time now.

I think Sanuk deserves five stars for packaging and use of materials. Zappos deserves five stars as well. However, there were problems with these sandals, as far as I am concerned. The sandals look nicer on screen than in real life. The material has a strong tendency to bow inward, due to the way the seams are sewn. You can see a bit of that in the photos, but it is more prevalent than the pictures suggest. My biggest issue was entry inside of the sandals. The heels have no support and they just collapse when trying to slide in. However the heels are quite tall, so you need to jam your feet forward in order to use your finger like a shoe horn. Meanwhile, there is not a whole lot of play from the goring. I cannot see these sandals lasting very long when considering the distress caused by repeated entry.

My wife recommended the Sanuks. And she was right. I love them. I wear 8 1/2 EEE in regular shoes. So I ordered a 9 M and they fit like a glove. I get lots of compliments on this shoe. Highly recommended!

These shoe-sandals are so vital to my wardrobe and my lifestyle that I wish I could buy lots of 'em. They are so comfortable and they look great. Zappos.com had the best price by far than anyone else, shipping was free and it was fast! I've had these Sanuks before, so I know that a size larger than most shoes fits me best, so although I usually wear a nine, I bought a ten.

I am so glad that I finally purchased a pair of these. They are very comfortable, and even getting more so with wear. They look very cool too, and I get a lot of compliments on them. They are lightweight, and easy to throw on (without socks). These might not be the most appropriate wear for the workplace especially since they are intended to be worn without socks, but any opportunity to wear these, they are now my go to shoes.

breaking news
Raising children is hard enough just worrying about their safety and education.
But some Arkansas families are worrying about needs as basic as food and shelter.
A recent report from Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families says the federal poverty wage level is only half of what Arkansas families need to meet basic needs without government assistance.
"I try to pull away from the government. I wasnt on welfare, but I was on housing, and I try to be self-sufficient," says Cassandra Harris, a working parent.
For example, Harris is married with two children. She says she and her husband are both working and bringing home about $30,000 a year. But the report from AR Advocates says a family that size with two working parents needs just over $35,000 for basic needs. The Federal Poverty Level for a family that size is just over $18,000 a year.
"I hadnt even included entertainment, taking the kids out, going to the movies, or out to eat," Harris said.
"If youre down at a low-income group, you have to make big decisions, �Well, do I need to put off the credit card payment this month to put food on the table," said Rich Huddleston, AR Advocates for Children and Families.
Huddleston says state and federal taxes make up 6-11% of the family income.
The report suggests a more progressive state tax system to help relieve those families. It also recommends the government better subsidize early childhood education, like preschool, up to 200% of the Federal Poverty level.

Win Cash and Spread Christmas Cheer with the N Judah Chronicles!
I swore I wouldn't do this, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. So, despite my better judgment, I've decided to make an appeal in my housing search to the Loyal Readers and others who find this site on Google Alerts. Let the snark begin.
Seriously, though, if you haven't heard, the rental market in San Francisco has tightened up considerably, for a number of reasons we don't need to go into here. Now, normally when I go looking for a place, it takes me no more than a week or so, maybe 2, and I find something that isn't akin to a Third World prison cell, or something out of a Dickens novel (and you'd be surprised how many of those there are in Supposedly Liberal and Wealthy San Francisco).
This time, however, despite consulting the many listings of Craigslist, MetroRent, et al, I haven't been able to secure a new place and time is running out. Despite giving notice on my current place, my current landlord hasn't found a new tenant so I scored a month-to-month in the interim, but it's time to move on as I really need to get settled. (Blah blah blah shouldn't have given notice in a tight market blah blah blah. Yeah, I know. No restating the obvious, please.)
Here's where the Loyal Reader or even the Casual Reader can help, and in the process score a little surprise of their own. If you email me a tipoff to a vacancy that leads to a signed lease, you win a cash prize. Really. And it's not $5 either. The amount, however, will only be disclosed to serious folks, to keep out the riff raff of annoying snotty bloggers and anonymous haters who populate Blogland sometimes.
A few qualifications: sending in a list of links you find on Craiglist or MetroRent does not count - I can read those myself. The exception is if you actually know the person putting up the listing, and you make an effort to connect myself with said landlord or agent, then you qualify.
As for location, obviously I would like to say within walking distance of our Mighty N, but at this point, I'm willing to settle for a decent place that's in the $1000-$1500 range that's in a safe area (i.e. not in Crackland or some other hellhole neighborhood), and has decent access to some sort of MUNI so I can continue to regale San Franciscans with the joy and whatnot of Our Wonderful Transit System.
The winner not only gets a chance to spread some Christmas Spirit, but also win a little bonus as well, and will get untold Christmas cards in years to come for helping out in this time of need. Thanks, and keep the snark to a minimum, gang. Merry Christmas!

Travel Photography Photos taken by rasoafab El Capitolio
El Capitolio, or National Capitol Building in Havana, Cuba, was the seat of government in Cuba until after the Cuban Revolution in 1959, and is now home to the Cuban Academy of Sciences. Its design and name recall the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., but it is only superficially similar. Completed in 1929, it was the tallest building in Havana until the 1950s and houses the world's third largest indoor statue.

As I was reading "what's new" on the website, I stumbled upon the fact that there will be a new hardware... but there is no lead to any information about that.
On the order page, one can read that we need to buy an "upgrade fee" but it's not telling us what we will buy and how much this new shiny hardware will cost. I don't think much customers will do this ...
The concept of AI looks good and beats all the other tablets. There nothing worse than "no information".
I think I can speak for many user and give us hope so we can stay away from buying an other not so innovating tablet:
Give us some information. If you can't give the specs at the moment, give us a date by when you will have those specs. Give us some hope so we know that we just have to wait for the ultimate tablet that fullfill all our tablet needs.

Company Description
The Home Depot, Inc. is the world's largest home improvement retailer based on Net Sales for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2009 ("fiscal 2008"). The Home Depot stores sell a wide assortment of building materials, home improvement and lawn and garden products and provide a number of services.... More

- Thursday, May 16, 8:40 AM Housing starts were a disappointment in April, but building permits surged to a 5-year high. The high level of permit activity could help lift sales for Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW). Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, May 13, 9:11 AM More on retail sales: Building material and garden equipment sales (HD, LOW) were again, up 1.5% M/M and 4.1% Y/Y, while department store sales (SHLD, KSS, M, JWN, JCP) trailed expectations. Grocery store sales (KR, SVU, SWY) slipped during April compared to March but were 2% than a year ago on pricing gains. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy, Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 8, 1:46 PM Lowe's (LOW +3.4%) gets a lift from ISI Group on the firm's view that margins could go from 7% to 10% as productivity improves. A normalization in sales would also allow the retailer to support share price with new buybacks and dividend hikes. Shares of Lowe's are rated a Buy by ISI, although it still sees Home Depot (HD +0.2%) as the more attractive stock in the home improvement space. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 24, 1:14 PM DIY shakeup: Menards opens a do-it-yourself superstore in the Detroit area as it keeps up its steady pace of large-sized store growth. The privately-owned company claims its stores in 14 different states offer 40% more products than Home Depot (HD +0.2%) or Lowe's (LOW -0.3%). Will the other 36 states see the LOW-HD duopoly broken up? Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, April 22, 12:11 PM Homebuilders slip today on weaker than anticipated earnings out of NVR and a miss on Existing Home Sales numbers for March: [(XHB -0.6%, [HOV]] -1.6%, MTH -0.6%, RYL -1.3%, TOL -1.4%, TPH -0.4%, DHI -0.2%, KBH -0.2%, LEN -1.2%, SPF -1%. Home improvement superstore operators also feel the pinch: (HD -0.4% and (LOW -1.2%. 2 Comments [On the Move, U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, April 16, 9:32 AM The lack of a FDIC charter isn't slowing down retailers from stepping up their push into financial services. Wal-Mart (WMT -0.2%) continues to expand options for users of its reloadable Bluebird cards while shoppers at Home Depot (HD +0.6%) can sign up for a $40K home improvement loan on the fly. What to watch: Look for more retailers to try to get into the mix with partnerships with payments companies and financial firms - while banks look to stop the rush by pushing Congress for increased regulation. Comment! [Consumer, Financials]
- Friday, April 12, 10:17 AM Home Depot (HD +1.7%) trades higher early after Jefferies upgrades the shares to Buy from Hold citing a bullish sales outlook. "Our checks continue to come back favorably," Jefferies says, "weather will not impede" strong Q1 comps. New price target is $85. Competitor Lowe's (LOW +0.5%) is higher by association. (See also: Home garden sales tip in March) Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Friday, April 12, 8:47 AM The March report on retail sales indicates a measurable impact was felt by retailers from the round of cooler weather seen in the U.S. during the month right along with broader macroeconomic factors. Department store (KSS, JWN, DDS, SKS, SHLD) and home garden (HD, LOW) sales tipped to the weaker side while online sales showed some strength. 3 Comments [Consumer, U.S. Economy]
- Friday, April 12, 7:07 AM HD Supply files for a $1B IPO. The distributor is a former division of Home Depot (HD) and reports sales of over $8B during its last fiscal year which ended on February 3. The company says it plans to use the proceeds to retire debt and for general corporate purposes. (S-1) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 11, 10:14 AM Retail watch: Due to the timing of Easter and a slow start to the spring selling season a two-month snapshot of sales covering March and April is appropriate before drawing major conclusions, according to analysts. Retailers looking for a March surge in home and garden (HD, LOW, TGT, WMT) spending and spring clothing purchases expect April to make up some of the slack. Of the 14 retailers reporting March numbers today, comparable-store sales averaged a 0.6% gain with Costco (COST) and Ross Stores (ROST) standing out as outperformers. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 10, 12:53 PM U.S. companies paid out an additional $14.5B in dividends on common stock in Q1 as more companies increased their payouts, S&P Dow Jones Indices reports, even as payout rates remain at a historically low 36%. The quarter saw 944 dividend increases, a 39.4% gain Y/Y. By percentage, some of the biggest dividend hikes came from F, WYNN, QCOM, HAL and HD. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, April 5, 10:31 AM Sports Chalet is the latest retailer to jump into offering same-day delivery services, saying it will test a program to both sell and rent items from stores in the West. Though the same-day delivery concept is getting plenty crowded with ideas ranging from the use of lockers (AMZN), in-store pickup (ODP, HD), valets (EBAY), and even in the case of Wal-Mart (WMT) a potential trust-your-neighbor delivery service - widespread adoption still appears far away to retail analysts. What to watch: To protect margins, retailers are expected to slip in some fees on same-day delivery. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 4, 11:31 AM We're running out of stock. Corporate share buyback authorizations of $208B in Q1 are the strongest (as a % of capitalization) since Birinyi Associates began tracking the data in 1985. As a percent of capitalization, HD, UPS, AXP, and TXN - with authorizations of 13-18% of the float - lead the way. Next after AMEX in the recently green-lighted banks is BAC which plans to repurchase 3.8% of its shares. 7 Comments
- Tuesday, April 2, 2:44 PM Home Depot (HD +1.7%) indicates in a SEC filing that it will float new bond issues in order to pay for general corporate purposes and potentially buy back more shares. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, March 20, 3:02 PM Heard during Home Depot's (HD +0.4%) presentation at the ISI Retail Summit: 1) The company says it has reached a point of saturation in the U.S. and the focus will be on productivity. 2) Sales per square foot is a metric which can be improved as efficiencies pick up. 3) 2013 corporate targets include 9 new store openings in North America, 2% sales growth, and a 3% gain in comparable-store sales. 4) No plans to bring back the Expo concept as online channels look more promising. (webcast) 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 19, 2:19 PM A little breathing room for home owners on the equity they hold in their houses is helping motivate them to jump into more serious home improvement projects, according to an academic study. Spending could climb 20% this year (Sept. to Sept.) despite credit conditions which are still tight. Home Depot (HD -0.8%) and Lowe's (LOW -1.3%) would be pleased to see more kitchen remodels and wine cellars than simple paint jobs and tiling. 1 Comment [Consumer]

Charles Dickens: The Life and Adventures of Nicholas NicklebyCHAPTER 32: Relating chiefly to some remarkable Conversation...Relating chiefly to some remarkable Conversation, and some remarkable Proceedings to which it gives rise 'London at last!' cried Nicholas, throwing back his greatcoat and rousing Smike from a long nap. 'It seemed to me as though we should never reach it.' 'And yet you came along at a tidy pace too,' observed the coachman, looking over his shoulder at Nicholas with no very pleasant expression of countenance. 'Ay, I know that,' was the reply; 'but I have been very anxious to be at my journey's end, and that makes the way seem long.' 'Well,' remarked the coachman, 'if the way seemed long with such cattle as you've sat behind, you MUST have been most uncommon anxious;' and so saying, he let out his whip-lash and touched up a little boy on the calves of his legs by way of emphasis. They rattled on through the noisy, bustling, crowded street of London, now displaying long double rows of brightly-burning lamps, dotted here and there with the chemists' glaring lights, and illuminated besides with the brilliant flood that streamed from the windows of the shops, where sparkling jewellery, silks and velvets of the richest colours, the most inviting delicacies, and most sumptuous articles of luxurious ornament, succeeded each other in rich and glittering profusion. Streams of people apparently without end poured on and on, jostling each other in the crowd and hurrying forward, scarcely seeming to notice the riches that surrounded them on every side; while vehicles of all shapes and makes, mingled up together in one moving mass, like running water, lent their ceaseless roar to swell the noise and tumult. As they dashed by the quickly-changing and ever-varying objects, it was curious to observe in what a strange procession they passed before the eye. Emporiums of splendid dresses, the materials brought from every quarter of the world; tempting stores of everything to stimulate and pamper the sated appetite and give new relish to the oft-repeated feast; vessels of burnished gold and silver, wrought into every exquisite form of vase, and dish, and goblet; guns, swords, pistols, and patent engines of destruction; screws and irons for the crooked, clothes for the newly-born, drugs for the sick, coffins for the dead, and churchyards for the buried-- all these jumbled each with the other and flocking side by side, seemed to flit by in motley dance like the fantastic groups of the old Dutch painter, and with the same stern moral for the unheeding restless crowd.

US getting another conservative news channel
Upstart Herring Broadcasting is launching One America News to take on Fox News in the cable market and provide 'another platform.'
The company, which also owns Wealth TV, believes that a "business case" can be made for its channel -- dubbed One America News -- because the views of independents, libertarians and conservatives aren't being heard, said Charles Herring, the company's president (pictured).
"There is Fox, of course," he said in an interview with MSN Money, adding that the market has room for One America News. "This will be another platform for independents and conservatives to express their views."
One America will launch July 1. It will feature straight news programs and political talk shows that come from the conservative perspective. Herring declined to provide any information on the hosts or on the state of carriage agreements. However, he did take pains to say One America's shows won't be the shout-fests that are all too common on cable news.
The Wall Street Journal estimated that the channel's expected distribution will be between 10 million and 15 million homes. Fox News, by contrast, is available in 90 million homes. A spokesperson for Fox couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Fox, which is owned by News Corp. (NWS), generally is the most watched cable news channel in terms of the highly targeted demographic of viewers ages 25-54.
Though these channels tend to attract their biggest audiences during major news stories, they still make big money. Fox's 2011 profit was about $869 million, far exceeding the $596 million earned by Time Warner's (TWX) CNN and the $187 million earned by Comcast's (CMCSA) MSNBC, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
Current TV, which was recently sold to Al-Jazeera, failed to attract an audience for its liberal programming. Glenn Beck's The Blaze offers more conservative fare. The channel is distributed by the Dish Network (DISH) and is seeking a wider audience, The Journal says.
Herring said he hasn't spoken with Beck, but he realizes the daunting challenge that lies ahead for One America News.
"It's a marathon," he said, "not a short sprint."
If he wants to start a news channel with his money, more power to him. His choice and money so what?
I really just wish we could get a news channel with no or as little bias as possible. Just report the facts for crying out loud! Then if needed or if bias is present and unavoidable give both views, on equal ground as possible. Also outside/global views when needed. Again report facts, no hype, and little bias as possible, then let the viewer decide. Though I know many couldn't handle making the choice for themselves or that without the "entertainment" part stuck to it, likely wouldn't survive. Some people's heads would probably explode at the thought of an honest fact based news broadcast where they form opinions on their own.
I think its time
"Fox's 2011 profit was about $869 million, far exceeding the $596 million earned by CNN and the paltry $187 million earned by MSNBC. Current TV, which was recently sold to Al-Jazeera, failed to attract an audience for its liberal programming"
And last time I checked, the first ammendment still allows freedom of speech, which really gets Liberal's panties in a bunch.
Interesting that FNC earned 5 times what MSNBC did - guess we shouldn't be surprised based on ratings.
It would be great if all the so called news channels would just tell us ALL of the news, not filter out what they don't want us to hear or or put their political preference slant or spin on it. We don't need them to analyze it. Most of us are smart enough to do that ourselves. We just want the raw news.
I can tell if a politician is lying, all you have to do is see their lips move.

Why London's Police Just Set a Horrifying Precedent on Mobile Privacy Link post
London's Metropolitan Police recently started using machines that allow law enforcement to tap into any mobile device and download call registers, photographs, videos, SMS, email and even social networking data in under 20 minutes. Even more shocking, the information they collect will remain in the police's possession long after the suspect is released, even if no charges are filed.

Board of Adjustment approves Shadow Mountain addition
BY KEVIN CANFIELD World Staff Writer
Tuesday, January 08, 2013
The city Board of Adjustment voted 4-0 Tuesday to approve a proposal to construct a 37,000-square-foot addition to Shadow Mountain Hospital on Sheridan Road that would include 60 new beds.
A Dec. 11 hearing on the matter was continued to give the hospital and neighborhood residents more time to discuss the proposal.
Tuesday's approval by the board came with three conditions agreed to by the hospital and neighborhood residents:
-- The hospital erect an 8-foot fence along the west side of the property.
-- The hospital erect a 6-foot fence along the south side of the property
-- The hospital agree to a restrictive covenant ensuring that the 600 feet west of the property remain zoned residential.
The hospital addition would include activity, therapy, classroom and dining facilities, according to the psychiatric hospital's application. A new entrance to the hospital would also be constructed. Construction is expected to begin within two months.
"We want to be good neighbors," Mike Kistler, CEO of Shadow Mountain Behavioral Health System, told board members in December. "We have been here 32 years. The service is needed. I feel very strongly saying if we don't provide some of these services to Oklahoma, we will see increased issues."
Kistler said the hospital currently has 100 beds and that expanding the south Tulsa facility makes sense from a cost perspective.
"In order to be able to make it financially ... I have to use the ancillary services we have, whether it be dietary, the kitchen, janitorial, extra staff, property," Kistler said.
A petition in opposition to the expansion signed by residents of 137 households was presented to the board at the December meeting.

Hiroko's American Kitchen
Illuminate American cooking and demystify Japanese flavors
The Scoop
- Flavor your soups and stocks with Ma-Kombu, known as the king of kelp.
- Behold the brilliant purple hue and smooth flavor of the sweet potato vinegar
We have our favorite foods, the ones we cook over and over again, but let's get real: we're a community of cooks who likes to get a little wild from time to time, to experiment, to try our hand at exotic meals. The only thing that stands in our way? Not being able to find that rare vinegar, or unusual seasoning, for the latest recipe we're lusting over. The Ingredient Finder is the end of that. Here's to playing in the kitchen!
About The Ingredient Finder
Jim Feldman is a cook first; he believes in having fun in the kitchen. But when he can't source the 00 flour necessary to make his grandmother's fettuccine, he sees that as a problem. (And so do we -- a grave one.) He started The Ingredient Finder so no one would have to go through this, pairing up with experts like Hiroko Shimbo -- an authority on Japanese cuisine and an award-winning author -- to find each and every ingredient a cook would ever need.

On a return visit to Japan a few years ago, I fell hard for kombu, a glutamate-rich kelp that typifies the savory flavor known as umami. I add kombu to a rich onion consommé and serve it over spelt pasta that's similar to soba noodles. It's a beautiful pairing. The kombu adds a discreet backdrop to the dish, not so much ocean-y as earthy. —Michael Anthony, Gramercy Tavern, New York City

$70 for a non-liquid CPU cooler? Who buys this?
#1 - becuase a $70 liquid cooler can't cool as well as this can. this cooler is not silent, but its pretty quiet.
i've seen a lot of high end system use these.
Not all water coolers can outdo this btw especially the smaller enclosed systems. In fact, my eco does not do a very good job of keeping cool like I would like it to. I've seen corsairs do even worse. The enclosed coolant system is not big enough in many cases to accommodate something like a burning CPU. Even if the fan on the back of the radiator is pointing inward -as it should, bringing it cool air to hit the radiator directly.
Water systems are otherwise usually quieter though
I would agree. I have the 212+ in my case right now and it really does help. This coming from someone who lives in AZ with the computer upstairs (with inadequate AC). I'm sure I could've gotten away with a WC system, but the 212+ at the time was cheaper.
This is by far one of the best air coolers available. The huge radiators spread the heat well, while their fans move enough air to be very effective yet remain quiet compared to most setups. I added two additional fan, one to suck in the air in the front, and one to push the air out in the back, which works well having 4 fans in a linear setup to keep air flowing in and out of the case. Setup was a problem because it was so darn big. Make sure your RAM do not have a heatsink otherwise it will not have enough clearance for the fan. I chose this over watercooler because it's easier to maintain. Did not want to deal with cutting and cleaning the tubes, replacing the distilled water, etc etc.
Anyone that has used an All In One (AIO) water cooler probably wished they bought an air only cooler of the same price with the exception of one with a 240+mm rad or where space above the cpu is limited.
So to say you should just spend $70 on a water cooler instead of a high end air, I would think you have never used one.
I have used a custom loop before, $300+ for barely noticable difference in cpu vs a high end air cooler, I will probably never go back to water.

Reservations may be necessary, especially for popular B&Bs during the summer. Michigan is a seasonal place—some attractions and accommodations are only open late spring–early fall. If you come during the off-season, make sure to call ahead.
Your best bet for navigating this sprawling state is to bring your own vehicle or rent a car. All major airports have rental car services.

Over the weekend, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released new estimates for how much a typical four-person family will spend on health care under the new merged Senate legislation. Below, I've compared the House bill with the Senate alternative and threw in the old Senate Finance Committee (SFC) numbers to show how Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) improved the affordability measures for middle class Americans.
The chart below indicates what percentage of income a family of four purchasing coverage within the new health insurance exchanges can expect to spend in 2016 on a health care plan with an actuarial value of 70% (in 2016 dollars):
Meanwhile, MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber 's new analysis relies on available CBO data to compare the cost of coverage within the Senate bill's exchanges to the cost of an individual policy in the non-group market absent reform.
Even though the plan purchased under the Senate legislation would have an actuarial value of 70% — 10 percentage points higher than the policy sold in the individual market absent reform — a family would pay less for reform's more substantial coverage than they would for a plan that offers less benefits and even fewer consumer protections in the unreformed individual market. Moreover, "the same plan that cost $6,000 without reform would cost $4,460 with reform, or 25% less," Gruber concludes:
Analysis of the non-partisan information from the CBO suggests that for those facing purchase in the non-group market, the Senate bill will deliver savings ranging from $500 for singles to $1400 for families – even without subsidies. The savings are much larger for lower income populations that receive premium credits. This is in addition to the higher quality benefits that those in the exchange will receive, with actuarial values for low income populations well above what is typical in the non-group market today.
Correction: the original post incorrectly assumed that the CBO calculated premiums in 2009 dollars. The numbers for 2016 are actually calculated in 2016 dollars.
