As the devil-may-care bravado of Wall Street marches on, history warns that -- in the end -- there will be the devil to pay.
On the heels of the much-anticipated Federal Open Market Committee meeting, I thought it might be worthwhile to take a step back and try to assess the big picture, as I believe we might be idling up to a rather large inflection point, i.e., the beginning of the end of the central bank print-fest-inspired levitation of financial markets.
Beginning of the end justifies the means
By that I mean that if the Fed has lost control of the bond market -- which is my belief, though we can't yet be certain -- interest rates will rise no matter what the Fed does, with very negative ramifications for the stock market and the economy.
If Federal Reserve forecasts point toward full employment and price stability, policymakers at the upcoming FOMC meeting will have a hard time getting Wall Street to reconcile that outlook with a 1% Fed funds rate.
The much-anticipated nonfarm payroll report took center stage upon its Sept. 6 release, with the data considerably weaker than expected. The actual headline number was down only slightly, at 169,000 jobs, versus expectations of 180,000 (the Federal-Reserve-is-going-to-taper-because-the-economy-is-so-great crowd had been mentally penciling in 200,000, maintaining an optimism they have demonstrated for many months). But the revisions were pretty startling: July was revised down by about 60,000 jobs and June was also reduced.
Nonetheless, it would appear that stock bulls still want to believe that the Fed is going to taper, and that action means everything is going to be better because the Fed thinks so. (How anyone can believe that after what we have witnessed the Fed do in the past 20 years is unfathomable to me, but there it is.)
This might be the month of reckoning for failed central bank money-printing policies. Mounting evidence suggests that markets are starting to notice that the Fed is trapped.
It was interesting to see in the most-recent quarterly filing (released a week ago) that Goldman Sachs Group (GS) spent around $500 million in the period to buy 3.7 million shares of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), making Goldman the exchange-traded fund's seventh-largest shareholder.
After having been a vocal proponent of the view that a much stronger economy (which we haven't seen) would lead to a tougher Federal Reserve (which won't ever happen) and a weaker gold price (which we did experience until June 30), Goldman is perhaps starting to connect the dots.
Putting the 'gold' in Goldman
To be sure, Goldman's negative call on gold received a tremendous amount of fanfare, and it appeared to be at the epicenter of the huge price break we saw in the second quarter. But I haven't seen comments anywhere discussing its quiet, bullish bet. (For all we know, depending on exactly how the company holds the shares, it could be some sort of arbitrage against something else, but I doubt that.)
As the walls close in on central bankers and their inane policies, they seem ready to fight with the only weapon they know how to use: the printing press.
Though it may have largely been lost in the shuffle of Middle East headlines, sales of new homes fell 13.4% in July to 394,000, which was a far cry from the 487,000 forecast by the consensus and the biggest variance from expectations in more than five years. In addition, sales in June were revised down to 455,000 from 497,000.
Those numbers are proof that whatever logic the real estate Pollyannas, who said mortgage rates weren't going to affect demand for new homes, were using is totally false.
Conventional wisdom attributes market indigestion to anticipation of Federal Reserve action, but the evidence indicates investors are finally reacting to what our central bankers have already done.
I'm going to begin on the subject of financial publication headlines, expectations and what might really be behind the recent weakness in stocks and bonds. The Financial Times recently led off with the following above-the-fold headline: "Sell-off as markets expect early Fed move."
The article began: "Expectations of an early move by the U.S. Federal Reserve to slow its support for the U.S. economy firmed (on Aug. 15) after the release of data showing a strengthening labour market and higher inflation." The British newspaper went on to attempt to blame the previous day's stock market decline on jobless claims.
I would be the first to admit that on many days the market does what it does and there really is no proximate cause or logical explanation. But I can guarantee you that the FT's explanation is not what happened, because all the other macro data were weak and there was no new news about potential early tapering.
They're not buying it
In fact, in an article the day before in the same publication -- headlined, "Central banks struggle to convince investors" -- author Ralph Atkins tried to get at the real problem, although he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Atkins noted that central banks have failed to persuade markets on a case for interest rates remaining low, but asserted: "Central bankers are used to having their way."
Atkins continued, "The U.S. Federal Reserve's large-scale asset purchases, or quantitative easing, delivered the desired market rallies. Mario Draghi, European Central Bank president, crushed eurozone doubters by pledging to backstop government debt markets.
"But the latest actions by the ECB and the Bank of England -- using 'forward guidance' to persuade investors that interest rates will remain firmly at historical lows -- have had, at best, mixed results. Market borrowing costs have actually edged higher and on some gauges investors have brought forward the expected date for hikes in official interest rates. If market scepticism builds, the two central banks may be forced into fresh measures to stimulate growth."
The QE and the damage done
Therein lies the dilemma. If markets don't do what the central banks want, the central planners will do more, thinking that the problem is that they haven't done -- or threatened to do -- enough. However, if the markets know that the central banks will do more if required (i.e., in the event that bond markets don't bring rates back down to where the central banks want them), then why are bond markets declining?
The only logical answer is that they are reacting to what the central banks have already done. That predicament is the one no financial bull wishes to contemplate, but it is at the heart of the problems we are headed toward.
My belief is that bond markets around the world have not backed up because of any serious fear that a massive amount of stimulus is going away, but rather because the deflationary fear trade was way overdone. Now debt markets are declining because there is no real investment demand at these levels. Yes, there are forced buyers, such as pension funds and insurance companies, but investors are not really dying to own them, as yields are absurdly low.
Aug. 20 saw the release of the Fed's July Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes, which were eagerly awaited even though they once again revealed nothing new. In the wake of the release, the bond market sold off hard, closing at a yield of 2.89% for the 10-year, a new high. Thus, our Treasury market continues to be weak, in defiance of the Fed's wishes, bolstering my contention that the Fed is no longer able to control that market as it used to.
In short order
On a related note, The Wall Street Journal ran a front-page story on Aug. 20 headlined, "Rising markets batter short sellers." In it, one featured short seller stated: "'It is actually more painful now than it was in '99.'" Though I am very sympathetic to that statement, I would like to disagree with it. There is really no comparison between the lunacy of 1999 and the present day.
The insanity back then was not confined just to dot-com business concepts. Most stocks were ridiculously valued until the very end, when there was a group of mundane securities that weren't too expensive. Nonetheless, the environment was much better because that bubble had not yet spawned the real estate bubble or the misallocations of capital and bad policies that followed in the wake of both.
Thus, prices of stocks were insanely high, but there were not the massive macro problems that exist today. Thus, given the horrible fundamental backdrop, stocks are expensive and risky, but there are only a modest number (perhaps 100) of truly ridiculous valuations.
The same trader was later quoted as saying he believes that his short positions "will be proved right -- eventually," which brings up another point that needs to be made about short selling. Namely, that while research is essential, it alone won't get you very far. Short selling, sadly, is all about tactics, managing risk and the constant need to modulate positions, i.e., when to press and when to take positions off.
Also, anyone who has survived this long on the short side should realize that it is nearly impossible to win when the Fed is doing what it is doing. The amount of money (about two weeks' worth of QE) that blew the top off the stock market in 1999 is literally a rounding error compared with the QE we have seen since 2009. Thus, it will be difficult for the shorts to win until either the bond market reacts more violently or we get closer to the time when bond traders take the printing press away from the Fed. And then they will win big.
More signs suggest that gold has reached a turning point. But putting a fair value on the yellow metal is harder than assessing what a business is worth.
Last week, I received a question from a member of my subscription site who wanted to know about recent action in gold and the miners (which have been showing signs of life), and whether higher prices would give me more confidence that we had seen the lows.
In trying to craft an intelligent and useful answer, I spent a lot of time thinking about the gold market and related ideas I hadn't really discussed in the past.
What follows is my response, which I hope illuminates why it is so difficult to be truly emphatic about the price of gold -- as opposed to the value of a business.
Accounts conceivable
I feel strongly that June 30 was most likely the low for gold and the miners. But the problem with gold is that it is just a price. It isn't like a business, where you can track such things as balance sheet items, sales, margins, channel activity, competitors and suppliers to get a very strong feeling that something important has changed or that the time to act in a big way is now -- long or short.
About the closest thing we have to a timely, nearly unequivocal fundamental fact is that gold has been in backwardation for 30 business days. This should never happen -- and has happened only rarely, briefly in 1999 and 2008 -- because it should just get arbitraged away.
The fact that the market hasn't reverted to contango suggests there isn't enough metal around in New York or London (at current prices) to allow that to happen. A potential conclusion is that there is such huge demand versus supply at current prices that the price should not be able to go lower (and stay there).
If that's true, it would argue in favor of the idea that the lows in June were "it" and that this tightness, combined with the short position and prior liquidation, means that prices are poised to rocket higher at some point soon.
A store of guesswork
The problem is that no one knows for sure. I have talked to several people who are close to the metals trading industry (whom I have known for a long time), and they agree with my analysis. But there could be other technical explanations -- mostly having to do with the fact that interest rates are near zero -- that could mean my thesis is wrong.
We will only know for sure as time goes by and new developments occur. All of the above is also why so many people who have opinions about gold base them solely, and often erroneously, on the chart patterns.
As for the miners, it is even harder to be certain about them, because their whole business revolves around the hard-to-determine future gold price.
The bottom line is it takes melding together lots of clues and charts, as well as fundamental guesswork, to be able to have a correct opinion about the gold price. Obviously, being right about the overall trend, bull market or bear market, is a huge help. I did that pretty well in the bull market but totally missed the shift to the bear market.
I can't believe it, but it took me well over a year to consider the possibility that gold had slipped into a bear market. In any case, I think we are now in the process of restarting the bull market, but I don't know for sure and can't know. Until it is a bull market, it will still be a bear market, with the attendant dangers and different risk management (technique) requirements.
It's who you know
In the investment business we all have periods when we are hot and when we are cold. On that subject, one has to realize in one's own investing there are periods where most everything you think and do is correct, and when that is the case it is possible to be more aggressive.
While it is easy to make money when it seems as though you are getting The Wall Street Journal a week early, the bigger trick is not to get killed when it seems you can do nothing right. When that inevitably happens, you must spend more time sitting on your hands while waiting for your view of how the world should work to coincide with that of the masses, aka the market.
In his most recent Gloom Boom & Doom report, Marc Faber discusses his experience at the tail end of the tech bubble and makes an important and related point. He writes: "I had heavily shorted high-tech stocks in 1998 and subsequently I lost a ton of money. This episode is really a dark spot in my life as an investor and investment advisor. It taught me several lessons that I shall never forget. What I think about markets is completely irrelevant. What matters is what other people think about them. Fundamentally, I was right about the coming collapse of the Nasdaq; however, for as long as the majority of other investors believed in the 'New Economy' theme, high-tech and communication stocks continued to appreciate."
Those of us who understood that the dot-com boom was a bubble were all tortured until the bubble burst. That often happens in markets, where you are exactly right about what you think will happen, but the market doesn't agree with you right away, and until it does you have to manage your positions carefully.
It should be worth the weight
To state the obvious, when the bull market in gold resumes, it will be easier to make money being long, though it will still be tricky. Unfortunately, trading and investing in gold is more difficult than just investing in the stock market. It is more like managing a short position.
I wish that wasn't the case, but it is. I also wish the Federal Reserve wasn't so incompetent, so we could just buy stocks or bonds and didn't have to focus on the variables we do. But we must play the hand we are dealt, and we have been dealt one with central banks pursuing insane policies that force us to deal with a warped economic/financial world where the money is "no good."
I hope this discussion helps readers understand the gold market better and, more importantly, is useful when it comes to managing positions.
The liquidity-fueled rally of the past 9 months is easy to like. But recent history tells us higher prices based on easy money carry extreme dangers, so a violent drop could lie ahead.
There is not much one can say to make sense out of the maniacal rise we have seen in the stock market since last fall, other than to note that the third and fourth rounds of bond buying by our Federal Reserve (aka QE3 and QE4) have boosted stock prices 20 to 25%.
Beneath the surface, however, stocks are a house of cards. Simply because prices are rising as a consequence of the massive liquidity injected by the Fed (and the Bank of Japan) – combined with "professionals" running other people's money who are terrified of not keeping up with the averages – does not mean that participating in the stock market at the moment is something that anyone who is sane ought to do.
The wrong kind of royal flush
Even so, resisting the siren song of apparently easy money is difficult, and most people eventually get sucked in. This is shown by the latest mutual fund statistics, which show that people are taking money out of bond funds and pushing it into stock funds.
While stocks continue their momentum-driven run, the bond market is still the ultimate canary in the coal mine.
The stock market has now weathered the bulk of an earnings season that was OK, on the surface, but not so great prospectively. On that note, I was forwarded a link to an article regarding the second-quarter letter from David Einhorn, Greenlight Capital's founder and president, who made a point that I thought was worth sharing:
"Indeed, in the recent quarter, 70% of companies in the S&P 500 'beat' the official street estimates, while forward estimates fell for roughly the same percentage of companies. At this point in the cycle, lowering the bar seems to be treated as bullish because it increases the likelihood of future earnings beats."
I wasn't aware of that specific percentage of companies that had lowered guidance, but I was obviously aware that it didn't make any difference to the stock prices of the companies involved.
There's no doubt this little game has been successful and is reminiscent of other crazy periods we have seen in the last 15 years. There is also no way to know how long it will last, but it is quite possible to know it is abject silliness, unless of course companies have been wrong to lower their guidance and actually do substantially better than they are currently forecasting. In that case, we would have to conclude that the market figured that out ahead of time.
That is not my expectation, however. Thus, this is a period of wild speculation that will end badly, as such periods always do, though it is impossible to know when.

The Hidden Upside in These Stocks
Lee is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Last year was a pretty tough one for the semiconductor industry. The year started off with the industry expecting a second half ramp that didn't occur. In fact things got worse. All of which leads into a 2013 which sees, you guessed it, a second half ramp predicted.
Frankly I think it is too simplistic to think about the industry in general terms. This may have been the case in previous cycles, but there are some significant changes in end demand within consumer electronics, and much of this was expressed in Applied Materials' (NASDAQ: AMAT) recent results.
Applied Materials Semiconductor Commentary
I like looking at stocks like AMAT because the capital equipment plays usually give an early read on where the industry is headed. There are very few better early cycle economic indicators than the semiconductor industry. In general, things have been looking up. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has been making more positive noises on the industry recently. The SIA is reporting ongoing strength in the Americas and better conditions in Asia Pacific (ex Japan), while conditions in Japan and Europe remain weak. Within this there are winners and losers.
Essentially there is change in demand within computing and mobile devices. The winners are smartphones, tablets and iPad devices, while the losers are PCs and laptops. These changes are arguably more important to understanding the direction of the industry. It's not enough anymore to just look at PC sales and hope for a refresh cycle to come along or a new Windows version to spur sales.
A brief summary of the key takeaways from Applied Materials' recent results:
- Semiconductor orders up 80% in Q1, indicating the kind of growth that characterizes the passing of a trough in the cycle.
- The outlook for NAND has gotten stronger with demand from smartphones forecast to be up 35% and 55% from tablets.
- The logic market is predicted to be flat for AMAT this year as the PC market weakens but is counterbalanced by growth in touch enabled hybrid models and Ultrabooks.
- DRAM prices are rising, but expectations are for investment to be weak as the PC market continues its decline.
- The Solar market remains weak with industry consolidation taking place at a slower pace than expected. The industry remains plagued with overcapacity so even as end markets pick up, the supply chain remains weak.
- Net Sales are forecast to be down 5-10% from as opposed to a 5-15% forecast decline at the time of the last set of results.
From Applied Materials perspective it has been restructuring in order to react to changes in underlying demand. Solar investments have been written off, and the cost base of the company has been reduced. As such, analysts have AMAT on for a 10% revenue decline this year with EPS down 19%, but things are forecast to turn around sharply in 2014. In fact EPS is estimated to be up 73% to $1.06, leaving the stock on a PE of potentially just 13x in October 2014. Furthermore, I note that EPS estimates have been notably hiked in the last month or so.
There is no doubt that the investment community is pricing in a cyclical upturn in the semiconductor cycle. With that in mind it's worth thinking about some of the 'hidden' or tangential plays.
Stocks Exposed to the Semiconductor Cycle
Before delving into the less obvious plays, it's worth looking at Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). The key issues with the stock were discussed in an article linked here. Gross margins are forecast to improve, and inventories have been reduced; these are classic signs of a trough being passed. On the other hand the company faces some of the challenges outlined above. It needs to reduce its exposure to the PC market, and its hope is that the computing market will shift towards the kind of PC/tablet convertibles that it believes are the future. Again it is too easy just to classify it as a pure play on a recovering semiconductor market. The details matter.
Two companies that I like from a more esoteric perspective are Cognex (NASDAQ: CGNX) and Dover Corp (NYSE: DOV). Cognex is better known as a play on increased automation, but within this it has significant exposure to consumer electronics and semiconductor end markets. If they are coming back this year than we can expect some marginal contributions from these end markets. To put some perspective here, its semiconductor and electronics capital equipment sales declined 24% last year and only contributed 9% in 2012. However, much of its semiconductor based sales are to Japan, so investors need to look out for better news there from the SIA.
With Dover Corp it might seem odd to talk about a well known industrial as a semiconductor play, but if we look at the company in depth we can see that its Sound Solutions business is heavily exposed to expanding smartphone sales. The newer phones tend to have 2-3 times more microphones in them, and if AMAT's predictions of strong emerging market smartphone sales come true then Dover will be a winner. Moreover, the only major handset manufacturer that Dover doesn't have a strong working relationship with is Apple, so it has diversified exposure to the main players in the marketplace. Rather like Cognex, it is a story of its weakest division bouncing back.
The Bottom Line
Increasingly it appears that conditions are getting better with the semiconductor industry, and I think it's time to start filtering these views into stocks within your portfolio. If you don't want pure play exposure with something like AMAT and are concerned about Intel's positioning then Cognex and Dover Coro are well worth a look.

7pm on Monday, December 19th @ Olio (3 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY)
I don't go to enough meetups, and the startup I run isn't a tech company, but still, love these nights and always meet super interesting people. My buddies Emil and Gabriel are setting it up, plenty of pizza and conversation. They did this event last month and it sounded like a huge success, so hopefully we get a repeat on that one.
They're trying out a "theme" for these nights now (this one is "Meet Your Designer"), so we'll see how it goes. As a founder with very little design talent on our side, it could be extremely valuable for me if some designers showed up…but it might be better to keep things general in the future.

A burglar wearing nothing but a cowboy hat in Fulton County was caught on surveillance video from the home of a John's Creek City Councilwoman this week.
The guy broke in and came face to face with her teenage daughter.
Officials said he ran away down the street when she screamed, and broke into Bob Johnson's home. There he listened to some Elvis on a vintage jukebox and watched some TV.
"He sat in the chair," said Johnson. "He likes the Braves, so he went and had a good time watching the Braves, drinking beer."
The suspect, 21 year old Ashdon Gibbs, was later caught nearby wearing some of Johnson's clothes.
When police arrested him, he said he was a U.S. Marshal.

The way in which you perform ripples, rolls, slips and slides has changed from Final Cut Pro 7 to Final Cut Pro X. Rather than needing to use four separate tools—each of which performs the techniques in isolation—you instead use only two separate tools. And depending on how you use these tools, you can easily perform each of the four maneuvers of ripple, roll, slip and slide. Read More

An rigorous case can be made for the proposition that modern humans cannot be native to this planet.
Hominid eye sockets and nasal areas were much larger than those of modern humans. The huge eyes of hominids and dinosaurs and even a few leftover creatures like lemurs and tarsiers, were adaptations to a very dark sort of a world. In the case of dinosaurs, the large eyes pertained in carnivores and herbivores alike
Humans by way of contrast have the smallest relative eye size of advanced creatures.
If you want to believe that humans evolved from hominids on this planet, you need to believe that some hominid/human-wannabee:
Lost his fur coat while ice ages were going on.
Lost 99% of his sense of smell while trying to make it as a land prey animal
Lost almost all of his night vision at a time when night was the only time of day to be had.
You say that doesn't sound like a formula for success?
If, on the other hand, you prefer to believe that God created modern man fully formed on this world, then there is a question as to whether God would create a creature on a world for which the creature was spectacularly ill-adapted. There's nothing in the Bible about God being stupid....
There actually is a reasonable thesis to be had for human origins, but it does not involve this planet.

I finally got a hold of the store manager and she apologized and said she would send the message to the hiring manager that I was trying to reach her. A couple of days went by afterwards and received a phone call from the hiring manager stating that the position was no longer available.

For the second day in a row, veterans of the greatest generation defied the government shutdown so they could tour the World War II Memorial. Many national landmarks run by the National Park Service are closed during the shutdown, but again on Wednesday, these veterans were allowed entrance.
Wednesday's wave of World War II veterans came from Missouri and Illinois. And when they arrived for a second day, barricades were once again pushed aside -- allowing them in.
Among the crowd welcoming them were several lawmakers joined in a gathering that felt like a boisterous act of civil disobedience.
"We're here to honor people from our states," said Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri. "The elected officials that are here that don't have members from their states, they are trying to take advantage of these veterans by scoring political points and frankly it's infuriating."
But getting off Capitol Hill and mingling with constituents did not seem to change some lawmakers' view of the shutdown debate.
"If anything, I think it helps people stick to principles," said Rep. Lynn Jenkins of Kansas.
Veterans say the politics surrounding this memorial and the shutdown in general are downright frustrating. Many wondered why lawmakers could not stop fighting with each other for the greater good.
"This country isn't used to individuals shutting things down. We're used to lifting things up," World War II veteran Ken Bonar WWII offered.
World War II veteran Pop Miller also spoke for many. He says he earned four Bronze Stars and says his generation did business differently. But in the end, for him and so many other veterans -- this day was not about politics. It was instead about having a personal and peaceful moment at their memorial.
"I think it's real nice. I thank God at least I lived to see it," Miller said.
A National Park Service employee stressed to FOX 5 that while the memorial remains closed to the general public, World War II veterans are being allowed to enter as part of their first amendment rights to free speech and peaceful assembly.

Fans of club in Brazil copy Japan's post-game clean-up practice
While Japan didn't win any matches in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, their fans won the hearts of many around the globe with their unique post-game ritual.
After every match, the Japanese fans stayed after and cleaned up their section of the stadium. It was a truly heart-warming thing to see. And it looks like one Brazilian club took notice and adopted this practice.
EXEMPLO! Após triunfo, torcedores do Atlético-PR recolhem o lixo na Arena da Baixada. http://t.co/a0yLosWdv3 pic.twitter.com/MWkBjbbLWI— RedeBall (@Redeball)September 15, 2014
After Atletico-PR beat Vitoria 2-0 on Sunday, their fans stayed after the match to help clean up the Arena da Baixada. The club even gave the supporters 20,000 trash bags to aid their efforts.
We're hoping this is a practice that catches on at stadiums around the world!

Social Provisioning As A Starting Point For Feminist Economics
AbstractThe past decade has seen a proliferation of writing by feminist economists. Feminist economists are not identified with one particular economic paradigm, yet some common methodological points seem to be emerging. I propose making these starting points more explicit so that they can be examined, critiqued, and built upon. I use the term "social provisioning" to describe this emerging methodology. Its five main components are: incorporation of caring and unpaid labor as fundamental economic activities; use of well-being as a measure of economic success; analysis of economic, political, and social processes and power relations; inclusion of ethical goals and values as an intrinsic part of the analysis; and interrogation of differences by class, race-ethnicity, and other factors. The paper then provides brief illustrations of the use of this methodology in analyses of US welfare reform, gender and development, and feminist ecological economics.

text: DETROIT (WKZO) -- General Motors new eleven-billion dollar credit line is being rated as investment-grade by Fitch Ratings. Fitch said an upgrade for the automaker's corporate rating could be considered in the future if the company's margins "rise to the level of its strongest competitors." In addition to Fitch, Standard & Poors Rating Service gave the line of credit a BBB rating, and Moody's Investors Service gave it a Baa2 rating, all considered investment-grade.

The Miami Dolphins want you to know that they are working towards changes to the stadium they have called home for 25 years. They want you to know that without those changes, they will have a hard time landing future Super Bowls. Mike Dee is out front on this project and so far, the only thing they are doing is talking. And talking. And talking.
The Dolphins have been working on these "additions" for a few years now but visit the stadium and you will see that nothing is really new or changed. The overhead "awning" has not been added or even contracted for. The additional seating that would bring fans closer to the field hasn't been contracted. The Dolphins, according to CEO Mike Dee is trying to get the public to help fund the projects but the local Miami area counties aren't buying it.
Even with the threat of losing 300 million plus in Super Bowl revenue.
The NFL has new stadiums popping up around the league with covered roofs and no threats of rain. They even awarded the big game to the new stadium in New Jersey where the Giants and Jets play. Miami may be one of two cities being considered to host the 50th Super Bowl but without making some real changes things are not going to get done and if the team loses the 50th to San Francisco as some believe will happen, getting any funding for the stadium will be impossible.
The Palm Beach Post hosted an article today about this very issue. The stadium is in good shape for a facility that is 25 years old. The fact that the stadium benefits from the weather and stifles normal wear, the stadium isn't a draw for many reasons. The PBP points out that the Dolphins will be increasing their Wi-Fi capacity for fans but that is more or less a so-what kind of enhancement.
Yeah, I get to text my friends and set my fantasy line-ups. Where are the needed changes?
The proposed cover is a great idea. It shades only the fans and blocks some of the rain but leaves the field untouched. More importantly it will deflect noise back towards the field increasing what is the weakest NFL home field advantage. The Dolphins have the most upper level seating in the NFL. Over 30,000 seats. And rarely are they filled…o.k. never are they filled over the last ten years.
Another goal of the team is to move the stands closer to the field. Due to the Marlins stay in the stadium, the Dolphins have the furthest seating from the field. It's a factor in noise production that leads to disruption. Of all the changes proposed, those two give the Dolphins an advantage on the field. Yet, again, neither have been contracted out.
The Dolphins need to increase the product on the field without question. Winning will bring fans back into the stadium, but they need to start realizing that fans have also gotten lazy over the last two decades since the Dolphins were able to routinely fill the stadium to capacity.
Wide-screen HD televisions have made the game experience something that can be left to the die-hard's. Comfort of home with AC and endless beer is more a draw than long lines, 7 dollar 12-oz cans, over-priced hamburgers, $20.00 parking, blistering sun, and the gasoline to get there. The economy has done no favors for the fans who have been steadily declining around the league.
The Dolphins hoped that increasing the fan experience outside the stadium prior to kick-off would bring fans back but instead they got laughed at for the "orange carpet" celebrity arrival rug and the constant celebrity this and that turned many fans off in the face of the team losing.
All of these problems are solved of course by the team actually winning on the field. Sort of. A winning team will not bring the Super Bowl back to Miami and no city can afford not to have the 300 plus million in revenue generated by the week long event. In order to achieve that, renovations need to be made to the stadium and the sooner the better.
The proposed renovations will help lure the NFL back to Miami, help lure fans back to the stadium, and help the team win by increasing the fan noise to disrupt the opposition. Winning won't bring back the NFL and the changes won't bring back the fans without the winning. They pretty much go hand in hand.
While Stephen Ross, Jeff Ireland, and Joe Philbin are trying to build a winner on the field, Ross and Dee need to work on the off-field stadium issues. Get that done helps the city of Miami and the Miami Dolphins football team. For now, seems more like it's just talk awaiting for someone else to step in and take over.
Personally, I would love to attend a game with new additions. Removal of upper corner seats and seats far more closer to the field on the field. The upper cover would make it far easier for me to bring my son who isn't used to the blazing sun while still being able to enjoy an outdoor feel. There are things on the field that the Dolphins can't control, there are things with the stadium that they can.

The town of Amboy, California was founded in 1858. From 1925 to 1971, Amboy was a vital stop in the Mojave Dessert on Route 66. During this time, everyone traveling to Southern California from the East traveled through Amboy. Interstate 40 replaced Route 66 in 1971 and Amboy became a ghost town.
Albert Okura, founder of Juan Pollo restaurants, purchased Amboy for $425,000 from Bessie Burris with the promise that he would gradually restore the town. Albert is in the process of restoring Amboy. Roy's Gas is open selling 87 octane, 91 octane, and diesel. The Amboy post office is open 6 days a week, the public restrooms are open, and a well with filtered, certified water has been installed.

In 1948, Dick and Mac McDonald opened the first McDonalds in San Bernardino, California. The brothers were the Henry ford of the restaurant industry. They did not event the hamburger, they perfected it and everything about it. McDonalds stood for quality control, mass production, speedy service, and of course .15 cent hamburgers! In 1954, Ray Kroc met the brothers in San Bernardino, and convinced them to let him open a McDonalds in Des Plaines, Illinois. In 1961, purchased McDonalds from the brothers for 2.7 million dollars and moved his headquarters to Chicago.
The original McDonalds building was torn down in 1971, and there was no public access to the property until 1998 when Albert Okura, founder of the Juan Pollo restaurant chain, purchased the property, researched and collected information of the early days of McDonalds, then opened a free, unofficial McDonalds museum without the blessing of the McDonald's Corporation.

The heat wave baking Minnesota and Wisconsin has led to record-breaking temperatures across both states and thunderstorm warnings in the Boundary Waters area.
Temperatures hit 101 in Minneapolis on Wednesday, breaking the old record of 100 set in 1949. St. Cloud got up to 97, one degree higher than the record set in 1988.
In Wisconsin, temperatures reached 102 in Madison and Milwaukee, breaking previous records of 98 degrees in both cities. Temperatures topped 100 in a swath covering West Bend, Watertown, Janesville, Racine and Kenosha.
A severe-thunderstorm watch was in effect across northeastern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.
The heat caused ongoing problems on Wisconsin's roadways. Roads had buckled in four counties Tuesday, and recurred Wednesday in Dane and Columbia counties.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Customs officials are advising holiday travelers to prepare for busy border crossings this holiday week.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency suggests that travelers prepare for inspection before arriving at the customs booth by having documents ready, rolling down windows and ending cell phone calls.
Drivers also should allow for extra time in case of heavy traffic due to the long Independence Day weekend.
Border wait times can be checked through the agency's website at CBP.gov.

Earthquake in Japan effects car sales in US
The recent earthquake off the coast of had a major impact on domestic car production and export. Much of the coast line was damaged making it impossible to transport the amount Toyota's Honda's and Nissan's that the U.S. demands. Toyota and Honda feel that they might be able to supply the demand in approximately 6 months however Nissan hasn't given a time frame as to how long it will take them to get their manufacturing plants and transportation arrangements back on track. In reaction to this, other imports from the other side of the globe have picked up the slack. VW, Mercedes, Volvo, and Audi have all experienced sales increases. This is supply and demand at it's finest. When one or in this case many producers and meet the supply another company will step up to the challenge.
