Me Tarzan, You Technology: The Magic of Tarzan in the Movies
Presented by the Academy's Science and Technology Council.
Hosted by Academy governor Craig Barron. With special guest Ben Burtt.
A week-long celebration of the technology behind "Tarzan" with screenings and a temporary display highlighting the production methods used to create the classic film series.
Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Craig Barron and Oscar-winning sound designer Ben Burtt explored some of the secrets behind the making of two classic Tarzan films with screenings of "Tarzan and His Mate" (1934) and "Tarzan Finds a Son!" (1939). Both evenings included rare, behind-the-scenes photos revealing how certain technologies were used in making the films. The program also examined the MGM rear projection technique used to create the illusion of a charging rhino.
Sound effects played an enormous role in these films. "Tarzan and His Mate" is one of those rare action films in which no music score was added; instead, the filmmakers relied on the power of sound effects alone to magnify the drama. Burtt performd live audio demonstrations to illustrate why this was successful, and he revealed the secret of how the classic Tarzan yell was created (as well as other fun, quintessential Tarzan sounds).
Saturday, October 16, 7 p.m.
Tarzan and His Mate (1934)
Premiering a new print from the Academy Film Archive
Jane's (Maureen O'Sullivan) former love Harry Holt (Neil Hamilton) returns to the jungle bearing expensive gifts in an effort to convince her to return to civilization. Holt and his business partner embark on an ivory expedition to the Elephant's Graveyard, and Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) does everything in his power to stop them. Because censors found the aquatic interlude too racy, this version of the film was released only briefly and in just a few theaters.
Directed by Cedric Gibbons. Produced by Bernard H. Hyman. Screenplay James Kevin McGuinness. Adaptation Howard Emmett Rogers, Leon Gordon. Based on characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Cinematography Charles G. Clarke, Clyde De Vinna. Film Editing Tom Held. Art Direction Arnold Gillespie. Sound Douglas Shearer. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. 35mm. 104 mins.
Sunday, October 24, 7 p.m.
Tarzan Finds a Son! (1939)
Featuring a new print courtesy of Warner Bros.
When a plane flying to Cape Town crashes over the jungle, the only survivor – a baby boy – is rescued by Tarzan's chimpanzee Cheeta. Tarzan and Jane adopt "Boy" (John Sheffield) and raise him as their own, but the new family is threatened when a search party arrives five years later looking for the child, who happens to be the heir to a fortune worth millions.
Directed by Richard Thorpe. Produced by Sam Zimbalist. Screenplay Cyril Hume. Based on characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Cinematography Leonard Smith. Film Editing Frank Sullivan, Gene Ruggiero. Art Direction Cedric Gibbons. Sound Douglas Shearer. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. 35mm. 81 mins.

Tarzan's Technology Treasures

This week-long display highlighted the studio production methods used in the MGM "Tarzan" films starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan. Materials on view included two rare, original matte paintings on loan from the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, from the Elephant's Graveyard scene in "Tarzan and His Mate," illustrating the tradition of realistic painting used to create the illusion of exotic locations; a Mitchell camera of the type used to film several "Tarzan" films, and other items. Original multimedia content by Craig Barron and Ben Burtt provided a look at behind-the-scenes footage showing how the films' various jungle illusions were created.

Tomatoes grow on bushes, not vines, yet we call tomatoes sold on the stem "vine tomatoes," probably because they look vaguely like a bunch of grapes. Roasted on their stems, they keep that just-picked look on the plate.–Alastair Hendy
Cannellini Bean Salad with Roasted Vine Tomatoes Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6
- 2 cans (14 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley or torn basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons jarred olive tapenade
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and dressing
- 6 vines baby tomatoes, about 6 fruit each (may substitute 12 roma tomatoes or 2 pints grape tomatoes)
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2. Place the beans, onion, garlic, parsley, and tapenade in a large bowl and stir gently. Dissolve the sugar in the lemon juice and add to the beans. Stir in about 2 tablespoons olive oil and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- 3. Meanwhile, arrange the tomato "vines" (or the smaller tomatoes) in a single layer on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the tomato skins are lightly blistered, 6 to 8 minutes. Let stand at room temperature.
- 4. To serve, spread the bean salad over serving plates, add a "vine" of tomatoes to each plate, and spoon over any remaining bean dressing and tomato roasting juices. Dress liberally with more olive oil.
- Make it into a more substantial course by adding flakes of blackened salmon, roasted cod, sautéed mullet, grilled monkfish, or the like.

Nice to see you Black Frog!
Thanks for sharing this update.
... And just for you, a WIP of a picture I did yesterday.
Hope you'll like it
End of my first round before going back into it to fix the perspective and take it to the next detailled level:
First detail pass: (over did it on the blown up lights... a bit too garish)
Here's the final. I went back to a more elegant, more subdued version.

Thanks for posting. Great artwork. I really like the image inspired by Moebius.
I hope you don't mind two small questions
In the last image with overpass (steps between 7 and 8) you moved from more less contrasty and desaturated palette to more intense one. Do you achieve this more by painting new colors on top or just using levels/curves. I ask this beacause I tend to sometimes start with first colors in similar way. They may seem to look harmonious but very gray and it's sometimes hard push them into something more vibrant without loosing the initial mood.
Also in some of your images the light looks overexposed while the darks are pushed a bit less. Is it done on purpose to make it look good in print or is it just your stylistic choice?
Farvus> it's usually a pass with levels, curves, color and saturation adjustments. I tend to always end up trying plenty of things to fine tune the mood at the end.
As for the darks and the lights, it's just a matter of personal taste, but I usually mix it up.
the colours on the moebius piece are just amazing!

Velocity Kendall >Thank. I tried to be as faithful as I could to his work.
henri> Yup, it's all Photoshop. I used to use painter quite a lot but now I finally ditched it completely.
I appreciate your work.
Conte> I appre iate yours too , your work in the "finished stuff" section shows a subtle sensibility for design, post some more.
I'm testing new photoshop techniques lately, new for me anyway, trying to learn as much as I can from the application, tricks and effects, been overlooking that for years, feeling like I could do without it, and finally thought it wouldn't hurt to get some more skills under my belt.
Here are a couple more techniques test. nothing fancy, just playing around.
You are fancy, that's all. Or you may just have magic golden hands.
Anyway, I'm always both surprised and in awe seeing each new work of yours.
Each of your images is full of wonders. Genial work. I also love the colors on Moebius piece.

An acclaimed Chicago-based Americana band, Eric Lambert & Friends, makes its Rock Island Brewing Company debut Friday night. The 9:30 p.m. show, at 1815 2nd Ave., has a $4 cover. "Traces of rock, folk, bluegrass and blues can be detected throughout his music, which is delivered with energy, soul and inspiration," according to the website, ericlambert.com. "His voice, presence and precision moves audiences to their feet, while his playful spirit and warm sense of joy makes them feel right at home." Mr. Lambert's career highlights include playing with Virgil Kane, Alabama and George Strait, and being a front man in bands such as Big Shoulders, Heartsfield, Valerie Smith Band and most recently Chicago's Henhouse Prowlers, being featured on their latest album release, "Verses Chapters and Rhymes." Music education continues to be a mainstay in Mr. Lambert's life, fulfilling a dream and supporting his mission of helping others learn how to play the guitar. For the past 35 years, he's been professionally teaching music, including the art of flatpicking, which is a style for which he's become known. In 2012, he was awarded a position as an official TrueFire artist and educator, teaching guitar along side the world's best musicians. Mr. Lambert's interactive guitar course, "1-2-3 Bluegrass," was designed to introduce people to the world of bluegrass guitar through a series of easy-to-understand lessons. His band features himself on lead vocals, acoustic guitar and mandolin, with Dan Rogers on bass, Pat Fiddle on fiddle, mandolin and vocals, and a cast of other talented musicians and friends playing guitar, fiddle, dobro, mandolin, percussion and even the washboard from time to time. Mr. Lambert says he has a diverse range of musical tastes,fueled by "his genuine love and deep respect for all walks of Americana music."

I have used this product with good results to help neutralize digestive stress, and stomache pain - particularly during the night. I find it much more neutral as regards side effects than anti acids and other options.

I started taking this to heal my digestive system and I've noticed a big difference! However, I did not notice much of any until I started taking large amounts- one heaping spoonful.

Several members of my family have celiac sprue. Along with the gluten free diet, this is important for rebuilding the lining of the small intestine the gluten injured. Both feel the difference when they stop taking it for awhile. Not a fast fix type of thing. My daughter prefers the capsule form but my husband likes the powder mixed in his whey protein shakes.

For our family members with food allergies who, as a result, have suffered damage to their gut lining, this product has been a tremendously helpful supplement. We've experienced needed weight gain, less stomach and abdomen complaints from digestion, and an overall happier and healthier demeanor. The price is the best to be found, delivery was prompt, and the quality and effectiveness of the product has exceeded our expectations.

Beat the S&P With 5 Stocks Everyone Else Hates
Last up is IntercontinentalExchange ( ICE), a firm that's been making some big moves after it announced plans to acquire NYSE Euronext ( NYX), the parent of the New York Stock Exchange. Until now, ICE's business has been a lot more niche-focused: in total, it operates one of the largest exchanges for over the counter derivatives, or as I like to call them "less commoditized commodities". That nuanced core business gives ICE some attractive opportunities -- it doesn't compete quite as vigorously for trading flow on its platform, and it collects bigger profits as a result.
>>5 Defensive Stocks to Protect Your Portfolio GainsThe firm's clearing business adds onto IntercontinentalExchange's profit-making abilities. It essentially lets ICE fill a role that a third-party would normally take, and that vertical integration makes the firm much more attractive for investors. Because energy and agriculture are big markets for the firm (and its biggest customers are commercial hedgers), it's less impacted by lower trading volumes in a challenging market. Firms need to hedge their commodity risks in good times and in bad ones. Right now, IntercontinentalExchange sports a short interest ratio of 16.9. At that rate, it would take more than three weeks of buying pressure for short sellers to cover their bets against the company. While it's fair to say that a lot of that shorting comes from merger arbitrageurs, the reason for the short bets don't really matter -- a short squeeze could still happen if they try to close their positions in one fell swoop. To see these short squeezes in action, check out this week's Short Squeezes portfolio on Stockpickr. -- Written by Jonas Elmerraji in Baltimore.

These script typefaces look like they have been written with a broad-nibbed pen and are characterized by angled strokes, narrow proportions and high decorative features.

Are we running out of water ?
A global strategy is needed to ensure the world's water resources
Media Brief [PDF version]
To accompany the side event at CBD COP7
13 February 2004
Are we running out of water ?
A global strategy is needed to ensure the world's water resources
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, February 13th 2004 (Ramsar Convention Secretariat): As the Inland Water Program is still being discussed during CBD's COP7 in Malaysia, the world is facing one of the major challenges of the history: ensuring enough water for everyone.
Current status: the water crisis. The world population is heavily dependent on freshwater. We use water in our everyday life but we also depend on it for our survival. Similarly, water is essential for the persistence of life on the planet. Biodiversity is strongly driven by water resources and many animal and plant species need water to survive. To ensure our food supplies, we need for example, 2.000 liters of water to produce 1Kg of rice. Yet water is a scarce resource: less than 1% of the planet's water resources are freshwater.
The geographical division of water is also unequal, as are the resources needed for proper water management. At least 20% of the world population doesn't have access to safe drinking water today, and another 50% does not have any water sanitation system. More generally, 40% of the world population lives in water-scarce river basins. Waterborne diseases, consequences of a bad water management scheme, kill between 5 and 10 million people each year.
Water is scarce, not ideally managed, but it's also overexploited. We use about 4.000 Km3 of water a year, the equivalent of 20% of the world's rivers base flow (i.e. the amount of water in rivers most of the time). Between 1900 and 1995, water withdrawals increased by a factor of more than six, which is more than twice the rate of the population growth, according to WMO. Of course, water consumption depends heavily on the geographic area, and developed countries are responsible for the great majority of the withdrawals. As population grows, demand for food and, therefore, water for irrigation increases, placing higher pressures on the water left in rivers and streams. The agricultural sector, society's major user of water, withdraws 70% of all water for irrigation.
While water demand is increasing, pollution from industry, urban centers and agricultural runoff is limiting the amount of water available for domestic use and food production. In developing countries, an estimated 90% of wastewater is discharged directly into rivers and streams without prior treatment. In many parts of the world, rivers and lakes have been so polluted that their water is unfit even for industrial uses.
From the point of view of biodiversity alone, over 700 freshwater species are currently listed on the IUCN Red Data List of endangered species, and an estimated 50% of the world's wetlands have been lost during the last century, while overexploitation is threatening most of the freshwater and marine fisheries.
The importance of wetlands:
Often seen as deposits for mosquitoes, worms and diseases, wetlands are really the kidneys of the planet.
For the purposes of the Ramsar Convention, wetlands include any area where water is the primary factor controlling the environment and the associated plant and animal life. They occur where the water table is at or near the surface of land or where the land is covered by shallow water. According to this definition, wetlands can range from ice and snow fields in high mountains ecosystems to coral reefs or coastal and marine ecosystems where the water is less than 6 meters deep at low tide. They can be natural or human made (shrimp ponds, salt pans, irrigated agricultural land, canals, etc.) and represent, according to the definition above and including some coastal areas in some countries, an estimated 1,279 million hectares (i.e. around 12% of the Earth's surface).
Wetlands are extremely important for biodiversity (they shelter, for example, about 41% of the living fish species and are vital for a great number of snakes, crocodilians, amphibians, but also birds and mammals), but they are even more important for people. Wetlands are natural filters for water. It has been calculated, for example, that the Congaree Bottomland Hardwood Swamp (Canada) delivers the same services as a US$5 million purifying plant would. High mountain lakes and river basins, but also others lowland wetlands ecosystems are very often used as deposits of drinking water. The city of New York (USA), for example, is naturally supplied with drinking water by the Catskill watershed, located some 160 kilometers north from the city. The natural filtering mechanisms of this ecosystem allow the city to get potable water without having to invest in expensive purifying systems.
Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth. They can be used directly for food supplies or indirectly for agricultural purposes. The population of Cambodia, for example, obtains 60% of its total animal protein from the fishery resources of the Tonle Sap alone (MRC, 1997), and this percentage is even higher in some landlocked countries. Inland fisheries in Malawi provide about 70-75% of the total animal protein for both urban and rural low-income families (FAO, 1996).
The international game board. The water issue has become one of the first priority in the international agenda after the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg (2002). Already in Johannesburg, the need for a global strategy for water was stressed by several Heads of States, including France among others. Several initiatives have been undertaken like the Ramsar-WWF Living Waters program, trying to put in practice the lessons learnt on water and integrated basins management. Today, the CBD agenda is also dealing with the water issue through it's Inland Water programme of work. But two years after Johannesburg, we still lack a global strategy for water, the CBD discussions have hardly started to solve a part of the problem and no international instrument is really focusing on the issue.
A new focus for Ramsar. Originally created to preserve wetlands as a vital habitat for waterfowl, the Ramsar Convention was the first international treaty to promote an integrated management of ecosystems: the wise use principle. Similar to the CBD's developing ecosystem approach, the wise use principle recommends an integrated vision of ecosystems, including not only biological or ecological factors, but also human, social, cultural, economic and institutional dimensions, among others. The Ramsar Convention has been evolving since 1971 and is about, today, to take a big step in a new, broadened dimension dealing with the water issue.
This new focus of the Ramsar Convention is based not only on the discussions that happened during its last COP in Valencia (Spain) in 2002, and the diplomatic strength given to this project by the Swiss Federal Government, beside other countries, but more importantly on a strong experience in water and wetlands management. The Ramsar Convention appears today as the only international treaty able to deal with the water issue.
"The Ramsar Convention is the major global convention on water", said today His Excellency Ambassador Beat Nobs, from the Agency for the Environment, Forest and Landscape of Switzerland.
With the strong basis of the "wise use principle" applied to the sites designated under the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance, the new focus of the Ramsar Convention will integrate the human and social aspects of water management, along with its institutional, economic and cultural dimensions to shift from the "wetlands for birds" perspective to that of "water for people", and ensure water resources and their correct management not only for ecological purposes, but also for human development.
"Right now the world is poised to cope with the issue of ensuring enough freshwater for all - which means ensuring enough water for wetlands and other ecosystems, but integrating also human needs around the world", said Dr. Peter Bridgewater, Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention during his opening statement at CBD COP7.
The Niger delta example. Ramsar's efficiency in dealing with the water issue can be well illustrated by the recent designation of the Inner Niger Delta (Mali) on the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance. The Inner Niger Delta is one the recently designated sites (on February, 2nd 2004) but also one of the biggest. With 4,119,500 ha, the Inner Niger Delta is the third biggest protected area in the world and the second biggest in Africa after the Okavango delta (Botswana). The delta is a vital ecosystem for Mali and more than 1 million people depend on its resources for their survival. In one of the poorest countries in the world, the Inner Niger Delta provides, each year, up to 130,000 tones of fish and offers a grazing area for more than 5 million of cattle. Overexploitation and unsuitable fishing techniques are the main threats to the delta, together with a risk of uncontrolled human development (partially linked to an increasing tourist frequentation) on the shores that already support more than 20% of the population of Mali.
The delta's designation under the Ramsar List is subjected to the implementation of a management plan, agreed with the national and local authorities, to ensure the wise (sustainable) use of the delta. This designation is symbolic for the Ramsar Convention, as the Inner Niger Delta is the third biggest designated area in the world, but it's also, and most than everything else a major achievement in preserving Mali's water and food resources as well as testing, in the field, the effectiveness of the "wise use principle".
The Putrajaya Wetlands example. The Putrajaya Wetlands in Malaysia are the largest constructed freshwater wetland in the tropics. Construction began in March 1997 and was completed in August 1998. Over 90% of the materials used were sourced locally. Where oil palm plantations once stood, there is now a wetland ecosystem that spans 197 hectares and is inhabited by 12.3 million wetland plants. The wetlands function as a flood control system and a natural filter system for the 400 hectare man-made Putrajaya Lake. Created by damming of Sg. Chuau and Sg. Bisa, the lake is an important landscape and recreational feature of the administrative capital and drains a 50.9 km catchment area.

Paying It Forward via Mobile
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Editor's Note: The initial version stated Billionaire Paul Singer's Elliott Management has the largest position in the stock, this is incorrect and has been corrected. Motley Fool apologizes for the error.
VeriFone (NYSE: PAY) was down as much as 25% last week after the payment solutions company reported a fiscal 2Q net loss of $0.54 per share compared to income of $0.03 per share for the year-ago quarter. This isn't VeriFone's first fall off the wagon this year, and it might not be the last. It appears that VeriFone's old school point-of-sale (POS) terminals are being left in the dust by the move to mobile payments.
Back in February, the company announced 1Q performance that resulted in a similar punishing of the stock, and after the recent pullback the stock is now down more than 40% year-to-date.
VeriFone provides solutions and services for the financial, retail, hospitality, petroleum, transportation, government, and healthcare markets. Its system solutions consist of POS electronic payment devices. Up until a couple of years ago, in just about every store, whether it be retail or a convenience store, the terminal used to swipe your credit card was probably from VeriFone; however, this isn't the case anymore.
Payments revolution
What the chart above really tells me is that the move to mobile payments is real. VeriFone is seeing competitive pressure for its POS systems from all sides, which includes evolving alternative and mobile payment methods being offered by Google, eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY)'s PayPal, Groupon, Isis, Visa (NYSE: V), MasterCard (NYSE: MA) and American Express.
What's more is that VeriFone decided to abandon its Square-like mobile payment device/system, noting that Sail never attracted big user numbers, which is why the product never made money. VeriFone now hopes to focus on providing mobile payments to small merchants via an indirect channel.
There are some positives for VeriFone, which include investing in the U.S. by acquiring a $5 million tablet-based software business, and the company has also invested significantly in taxi systems and media systems. The conventional POS system has yet to be heavily disrupted in the petroleum and tax business, where VeriFone is still performing strongly. But I believe it's only a matter of time before innovation comes knocking on these industries' door.
Move to mobile
The move toward mobile payments appears to be real. Part of this is that people don't like carrying wallets. In a Wakefield Research study, some 83% of respondents said they would ditch their wallets if possible.
PayPal has been a pioneer in this area and recently announced a "cash for registers" program that will allow businesses to trade in their registers for an iPad-based PayPal Here solution, allowing businesses to accept credit cards, debit cards, checks and PayPal payments. The system also uses a wireless network to connect to a cash drawer and printer.
MasterCard, meanwhile, has its MasterPass service, an app that will allow customers to pay for goods without approaching a cashier, but instead by scanning a bar code and creating a digital receipt on their phone as they exit the store. A roll-out in the U.S. expected in late spring.
A couple of participating retailers and airlines include Argos and American Airlines. MasterCard is also looking to increase card and mobile payments in cash-dominated countries. MasterCard has a partnership with TIM, the second-largest mobile network operator in Brazil, for launching a mobile-money program for its subscribers.
These new initiatives are expected to help MasterCard meet the expected revenue growth of 10% in 2013 and 2014. As well, the payment-processing company has a strong balance sheet and with high profitability.
Visa plans on launching its own digital wallet service soon, V.me. While eBay's PayPal recently launched a new European version of its mobile payments service that will run on iOS and Android.
Visa saw global credit and debit purchase volumes grow by 4% year-over-year in the March quarter. Analysts expect revenue to increase 12% in fiscal 2013 and 10% in 2014. Driving this growth, as you might expect, will be the push to mobile payments. Some of Visa's other initiatives includes expanding its prepaid card and money transfer offerings.
eBay is another great way to play the mobile payments sector. In part because it has one of the leading companies, PayPal. But also because of the inherent diversification the company provides, unlike VeriFone or Visa, which are heavily tied to payments. eBay is both a payments and an e-commerce company.
eBay is expected to see revenue up 15% in both 2013 and 2014, with modest gains in its marketplace segment (ebay.com), but mainly driven by the payments segment. Its payments segment includes PayPal and Bill Me Later. eBay's marketplace segment is the leader in online auctions.
Hedge fund trade
Going into 2Q, there were a total of only 19 hedge funds long VeriFone, a 12% increase form one quarter earlier.
Meanwhile, the likes of Visa and MasterCard command much more interest. Visa had 88 hedge funds long the stock at the end of 1Q, a change of 9% from one quarter earlier. This includes John Scully's SPO Advisory with the the most valuable position, worth close to $842 million, accounting for 11.4% of its total 13F portfolio (see SPO's top stocks).
Going into 2013, 68 hedge funds were long MasterCard. Tom Russo's Gardner Russo & Gardner had the biggest position in the stock, worth close to $510 million and accounting for 6% of its total 13F portfolio (check out what Gardner has been buying).
Bottom line
Although VeriFone has managed to grow EPS an annualized 45% over the last five years, the future isn't so bright; analysts expect the company to grow EPS at an annualized 13% over the next five years, whereas Visa is expected to grow at 18.5% and MasterCard 17.6%.
VeriFone has been hammered over the past 12 months, down more than 50%. I think there could be further pressure for this stock give the rapid innovation taking place in its industry, which includes the decreasing demand for conventional POS terminal devices. Meanwhile, PayPal is one of the leaders in the industry, and by investing in eBay investors can gain access to the payments market and the e-commerce market.

At a research university such as UCLA, a highly effective means of increasing the global content of courses is through support of global research for faculty and students. Advancing the global research and course development efforts of UCLA Anderson faculty and students is core to the Center for Global Management's mission. Research grants, academic conferences, a global management specialization curriculum and support of applied management research (AMR) projects are central to this. To strengthen student engagement in the intellectual life of the school and faculty, the Center also provides funding to support MBA students to serve as research assistants to work with faculty on global research projects, case studies and course development.

text: SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - What may have been considered the anchor of Sheboygan's Riverfront is closing. The Brisco County Wood Grill has closed after 14 years. The notice of closing was posted on the popular restaurant's Facebook page yesterday stating, "Brisco County Wood Grill is closed. We have had so many really great times and memories and made so many wonderful friends over the past 14 and a half years. But as of today Brisco is no more." The post went on to thank customers and friends. It is the second departure from Sheboygan's Harbor Center Business Improvement District in just over a week. Last Tuesday, Bon Ton Stores announced that the Boston Store will be closing at the end of January.

How to cover assets in speculative play
A plan and some discipline can help make spec investing less risky.
Speculative investing gets a bad name.
That's because too many investors treat it like they do phone calls, text messages, Facebook (FB) posts and Tweets after having too much to drink. They are risky endeavors and tend not to end well.
When you speculate, you should do it not only in moderation but with companies you know well.
All too often, investors associate low-priced stocks or once-healthy, now-depressed companies with speculation. While these might be the ingredients of a speculative play, you absolutely cannot use them in and of themselves to identify specs.
I like to take industries I know well and search for speculative opportunities within them.
For example, I break media and telecommunications stocks down into large companies with their hands in a bit of both (for example, Verizon VZ, AT&T T, BCE BCE), pure-play old guard media (for example, Time Warner TWX, Disney DIS, News Corp. NWSA) and new/social media tech types such as Yahoo and Pandora.
Because I know the industry well and have had success with several of its not-so-speculative plays, it makes sense to up the risk here and there.
As a general rule, I do not go long a speculative stock if it's not optionable. It must not only have options available to trade, but there needs to be liquidity and a healthy selection of strikes and expirations. Sufficient volume to keep me away from crazy bid/ask spreads helps as well.
Consider Yahoo (YHOO). In Hear Marissa Mayer's Roar and Buy Yahoo, I suggested that, with the stock trading around $15.80, it might be time to buy.
I did just that, accumulating a small position at a cost basis of $15.89. The stock promptly ran past $16.00, pulled back and then, after closing Monday's session at $15.77, bolted to around the $16.50 level in earnings-induced after-hours trading. In case you missed it, Yahoo turned in a solid report Monday afternoon.
On Friday, I wrote weekly YHOO $16.50 calls (expiring Oct. 26) against part of my position.
That's the type of hedge I like to make on speculative plays. The premium I collect from writing the calls helps cancel out or offset downside. And, if I get my shares called away, so be it. I will have returned 4% on the trade (buy at $15.89/sell at $16.50) in just over a week's time.
On broad market weakness or something stock-specific, I can buy more YHOO shares to add to what's left of my position, assuming the bulk of it gets called away at options expiration. For the record, I don't think it will.
Now, consider Pandora (P). I accumulated shares, settling on a cost basis of $10.19.
Hindsight can have this effect, but I could kick myself for not taking at least some profits in Pandora at or around its Sept. 6 closing high of $12.57.
Thanks to rumors that Apple (AAPL) has plans to introduce a competing service, the stock sank as low as $9.95 on Sept. 7, closing that session at $10.47. It's been a rough ride from there. Pandora has spent time under $9 per share, ending Monday at $9.10.
If I sell at $9.10, I record a 10.7% loss on the trade. Not awful, but considering the 20-plus percent gain I let slip away, it's a minor irritant.
Here's what actually happened. I ended up selling some, though not all, of my Pandora position at $9.00 over the weekend. That's because I got assigned on Pandora Oct. $9.00 calls I wrote against the position. I was merely continuing a strategy I have had in place for months -- writing around-the-money calls against 600 shares of Pandora.
A straight stock sale at $9.00 from a cost basis of $10.19 results in an 11.7% loss. In real dollars, that's proceeds of $5,400 from a cost basis of $6,114. Again, not very satisfying. Of course, that's not what I did because that's not how I roll.
It takes some discipline to stick to prudent rules you set for yourself, particularly when dealing with speculative plays. That's because of the huge reward you often calculate in your head on stocks with significant upside.
I fell victim to that emotion when I was up 20%. I got greedy. That can turn a winner into a loser in the blink of an eye. I kick myself a little less for not taking profit, however, because I stayed true to my options strategy, even though I knew it might result in not only having my shares called away, but at less than market price.
I have written Pandora covered calls a total of six times in recent months. That covered call writing generated about $832 worth of income. For the record, I bought calls back for a gain three times, had them expire worthless twice and was assigned on the transaction this past weekend.
Factor that $832 into the proceeds from my sale of Pandora shares at $9.00 and, not including transaction costs, I made money on the position. Thanks to aggressive covered call writing, my would-be double-digit loss is actually a 1.9% gain. Throw commissions in the mix and I'm slightly above breakeven.
It doesn't always work out quite so textbook, but with some discipline that includes sticking to a covered call options strategy, you set yourself up for less pain -- or not much pain at all -- when a speculative play hits speed bumps.

John Burkoff on Defense Subpoenas in Case Against Justice Joan Orie Melvin
Professor John Burkoff explained the rationale behind the broad subpoenas filed by defense lawyers for PA Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin in her political corruption case. Professor Burkoff said that the subpoenas, which were quite unusual so ealy in the case, were strategic in nature. "It's clear what she's trying to do is to impeach the credibility of some of those witnesses against her and trying to show a political motivation against her." Professor Burkoff's comments appeared in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

I suddenly realised that although any of you following my twitter, instagram or absobloominglutely will have seen the odd, on-the-go photo from our summer vacation roadtrip a couple of weeks ago, I haven't posted anything on here yet. (Look at that, another contender for world's longest sentence).
So here's the first installment. I thought I'd break them up a bit, because I've been looking through Goth Child's photos....she's taken hundreds as per usual ;)
In our attempt to gradually visit each one of the 50 states, we did Nevada and California this time.
(This brings me up to 13 states and Goth Child & Melchett to 6 states. Don't ask about Mr D. We don't count his score anymore because he 'cheats' by being sent all around the country (and world) with his work. At the last time we bothered to count up his score he was way over half way).
Here's our visit to the glorious Art Deco-rific Hoover Dam (and the very recent addition, Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, opened in 2010, which you could possibly mistake as more impressive, until you remember that it was built with technology and tools from this century, compared to the Dam was built in the early 1930's by these fearless guys).
It was just topping the 100F this day. Luckily we've been here nearly 3 years now so we could deal with that, goodness knows how quickly we'd have melted if this had been in our first summer in the USA.
Pretty spectacular. I suspect Mr D and I appreciated it a bit more than the kids because we know a bit more about it's history, what a monumental and far-sighted endevour it was by the creators and politicians of the time (would it actually get voted through these days? I'm not convinced); how it changed the lives of so many in the West; how it helps allow us live in Phoenix (along with the dam probably dearer to out hearts, the Glen Canyon (Day of the Moon) dam) and how many lives were lost building it. The bravery of those men descending down the sides of this canyon on ropes....I don't have the words....
This is the pic down the curve of the actual dam that still makes me the most dizzy looking at it:
And then any of you who know our family will know what anoraks we are about engineering and architecture and how stuff works, so here's all 4 of us inside the Dam Power Plant (haha, sorry we were big kids all day using the word 'dam' in front everything we could - dam restrooms, dam cafe, dam parking lot). It's us basically saying 'wow' a lot, and Goth Child (in hat) top left, taking pictures of everything that moved and that didn't:
And here are some of the beautiful art deco monuments to the men who commissioned, built and were lost during the building of the Dam and power plant.

Between-games update
I ran down to the clubhouse after the first game to hear Gardy lament the poor defensive plays and lack of clutch hitting. Then I went out into the clubhouse and got a nice surprise.
Francisco Liriano, Glen Perkins and Jesse Crain – nearly 30 percent of the Twins 2008 pitching staff next season, maybe – were in the clubhouse.
Liriano, coming back from Tommy John surgery, looks really good. I heard some rumors that he had gained weight, but I couldn't tell. Come to think about it, how can you add blubber if you're working out every day during the summer in Fort Myers, Fla.?
As of now, the Twins hope Liriano can get back on the mound by Nov. 1.
I'm not sure why Perkins is here. He had two disastrous rehab stints at Class AA New Britain and he's not close to being able to help out the team. Maybe the club will have him work out in the bullpen, throw a couple of simulated games and see if he can get a few innings in during September.
Crain, coming back from surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff, is making steady progress and wants to be back for the start of 2008. If he pulls that off, it will be a near-miracle.
Both Liriano and Crain won't know what they have, stuffwise and velo wise, until they climb on a mound. It's still good to see them and it gets you thinking about 2008 even more.
Joe Mauer is on the field, playing catch. Don't know what that means, but at least he's not longer hanging out in the trainer's room…and now Mauer has grabbed a bat and looks headed to the cage for some swings…

Did I Do That?
Yep one line, made so many people laugh, including myself. Growing up I loved watching TGIF with shows like Full House, Step By Step, and the classic Family Matters. A very cool interview is happening Thursday morning on Kallaway On The Rise with Jaleel White. You definately know him better as Steve Urkel. This guy was an icon to nerds everywhere in the 90's. So the story is Steve is head over heels in love with Laura and he probably asks her out 5 million times and everytime Laura denies him, but he doesnt quit, find out what happens in one of the last epidsodes of Family Matters, back in 1997. The show had 9 great seasons and by far the reason is because of the man Steve Urkel, check out this video from a dramatic end to the series!

Quitting smoking and four other simple preventive steps could save the lives of 100,000 Americans annually, researchers say.
Reuters reported Aug. 7 that the Partnership for Prevention said that the five steps were increased efforts to get smokers to quit, encouraging adults to take an aspirin a day to prevent heart disease, more colorectal and breast-cancer screenings, and annual flu shots for people over age 50.
"This shows so dramatically the potential impact of prevention," said Dr. Kathleen Toomey of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "These are really very modest, low-cost interventions that have such potentially dramatic impact on improving the health of the public … Our nation has never truly invested in prevention."
Fewer than half of Americans take a low dose of aspirin daily to prevent heart disease, but if 90 percent did, it would save 45,000 lives each year, experts said. If 90 percent of smokers were advised by doctors to quit and offered cessation drugs, another 42,000 lives could be saved. "To actually implement this and have the impact of saving 100,000 lives will really require a multi-pronged approach with public health taking the lead," Toomey said.

Detroit's riverfront is an area of the city that has been begging for development."We've been working on this and other elements of the East Riverfront District for about six or seven years now," said Will Tamminga with the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation.Finally, there is a viable plan on the table. The $55 million development would extend five blocks surrounding the popular Dequindre Trail and what will soon be the State of Michigan's Outdoor Adventure and Discovery Center.The project would include about 300 residential and retail units."We're pretty excited about this project because it essentially starts to catalyze and ... focus developers' interest back on the waterfront again," Tamminga said."My concern is that there needs to be public input in the creation of a brand new neighborhood in the City of Detroit," said Greg Bowens. "The normal mechanisms to have public involvement into the development have been dismantled. We have an emergency manager in charge. The City Council's role in development in the city has been sort of sidelined."The political consultant is not the only one who is concerned, but there are plenty of others who say developments like this one will create jobs and a path to a stronger Detroit even in the midst of bankruptcy."We don't see bankruptcy as impacting this development opportunity," Tamminga said.We have been told this is in the very early phases, but that development could begin as soon as Spring 2014.
