For those of you who are not familiar with the website, it is a futures platform for predictions like elections. The idea is that through trade, the prices approximate the public's consensus on the approximate likelihood of something happening, like Trump winning the 2012 election.
Here are some consensus estimates for the 2012 Presidential election:
The second fact reveals an interesting fact about the beliefs of people on Intrade. Somehow they believe that Trump has a good chance of winning if he were nominated. That encouraged me to research further to compose the following table:
|Pr(GOP Nominee)
|Pr(Winner|GOP Nominee)1
|Mitch Daniels
|Ron Paul
Interestingly, we see that the implicit belief is that among the Republican candidates, only Gingrich, Ron Paul and Trump have a good chance of defeating President Obama. Does that fit with your intuition?
If the GOP just wanted a GOP in the White House, it would try to pick the candidate with the highest posterior probability. Yet those candidates also have relatively low prior probability, suggesting that the GOP is not doing that (or the Intrade beliefs are wrong). What do you think?
Another interesting fact that surfaced was that the sum of each individual candidate winning totals to 100.6%, suggesting that there's an arbitrage opportunity. To exploit the arbitrage opportunity, you short $x of all of the candidates and invest that money somewhere else (Say, treasuries). As a result, you will gain 0.006x + returns from the treasuries (say, 2% on x for 1.5 years of investment) for sure, assuming your transactions do not meaningfully impact the price of the "shares".
Has anyone dabbled with Intrade? What do people think of these estimates? Are they pretty good, or do you think there is profit potential from statistical arbitrage?
1 I calculated the posterior probability using Bayes rule as follows: Pr(Winner|GOP Nominee) = Pr(Winner and GOP Nominee) / Pr(GOP Nominee) ≤ Pr(Winner) / Pr(GOP Nominee). The last equality follows from the fact that a candidate must be a GOP nominee (or a nominee of another party, which is highly unlikely) to be the winner.
As of last night, my laptop's wireless is basically unusable. Here's what happens when I try to ping google.com (The same thing happens even if I ping 192.168.1.1 or yahoo.com):

As you can see, half of the ping requests don't finish. Normally this would be a sign of congested airspace, but of the five devices connected to the router, mine is the only one having such problems--others are still buzzing along just fine. As a result, I have to plug in my Ethernet cable.
I've been trying to fix this issue since last night because being forced to sit at most five feet away from the router is too uncomfortable. I uninstalled the only thing I installed in between when the wireless worked, and when it stopped working (A software for a print server, which surprisingly didn't work). I tried restarting numerous times. I tried disabling and re-enabling my wireless adapter. I tried to disable my firewall/adjust settings.
I don't know what's wrong: I did not install any Windows updates in between, there are no new drivers for my device, and Windows doesn't report any problems (nor does the troubleshooter give any helpful advice). I've wasted numerous hours dealing with WiFi problems both at home and on campus. Why does it have to be such an unreliable system?
Any advice for me? Feel free to vent your WiFi frustrations here too.
EDIT: Figured out the problem. Jack left, and now I can connect just fine wirelessly:

What was his computer doing that was disabling my internet?
In decentralized markets, public goods are under-provisioned because the private benefit to any individual of pursuing action is lower than its corresponding social benefit. There are instances with inverse dynamics: Companies that extract small fractions of money (substitute for anything valuable, like time) from each individual, which collectively amounts to a large sum when spread over millions of individuals. Subsets of the affected individuals do not have the necessary incentives to fight, and therefore such policies remain.
The world is full of examples of such abuses:
What remedies are there to this problem? For one, the threat of class action lawsuits have some effect on dissuading some, but only in cases of legal wrongs. Even then, the benefit for the plaintiff (and his lawyers) is lower than the costs of the incumbent system.
Other remedies are impractical in our system: The problem is with the nature of politics to favor groups. Asking Senators to stop picking favorites is hard. A solution would require structural changes to our legislative body so that no individual has an incentive to favor his own region at the expense of the nation.
One could presumably require members of Congress to prove that a proposal will cost the country less than it benefits it (taking into account all externalities), but how can we rely on the very members of Congress to honestly assess anothers' proposals on that merit?
What solutions do you have?
Amid the recent iPad 2 hype, the Wall Street Journal published an article about the Nook Color (from Barnes and Nobles) running Google Android, contending that it provides just the right balance of features for $200, much cheaper the Motorola Xoom (also powered by Android).
This made me think: If B&N can find success in selling tablets that run Android, why can't Amazon, which has a much larger customer base and success with the Kindle? An Android-powered Kindle would be a significant boon to their business. They are working on their own Appstore. They have a huge selection of books. And they will be able to stream those premium movies to Prime members.
It seems like the next logical step for Amazon to take to expand its reach. What do you think? If Amazon launched an Android tablet for under $300, I would be in line for one.
Remember when you had to pay $85 to apply to each college? It allowed them to pay people to pore over every application, to distinguish between seemingly-indistinguishable applicants, to select the few who would best excel in their institution.
Companies like Google, which received 75,000 applications in a week (~4 million a year) don't have the luxury of doing that and thus must resort to crude filters such as GPA, major (that often must match exactly with what they're looking for), or other keywords (such as Scala, Ruby on Rails, or Facebook). This leads to keyword-stuffing by applicants, and imprecise and inaccurate filtering by employers. The end result is a concoction of false information and disappointed job seekers.
Google intends to hire 0.15% of those applicants. Even the most selective colleges accept around 7% and 10% of their total applicants. The reason is simple: There is an entry fee to applying to Harvard or Princeton, and as a result, fewer people even submit applications.
Google should decide on an acceptance goal: Say, 4% of applicants. In order to achieve that goal, it could introduce a (small) application fee--say, $25-$100--whatever corresponds to the point at which it receives only 250,000 applications per year. Reducing total applications from over 4 million to 250,000 will allow the recruiting team to be selective on many more dimensions, and hence pick better candidates. In addition to saving lots of recruiting resources, it will also produce anywhere between $6.3 million and $25 million dollars in application revenues.
The optimal thing to do with those revenues would be to return them to successful applicants: Say, 4% of the 250,000 applicants get job offers and 60% of them accept the job. Then they can get anywhere between $1041 and $4166 in "bonus bonus" (i.e. bonus on top of the sign-on bonus) to keep the program revenue-neutral.
The end result is that many of the current 4 million applicants that knew they had little chance would put their resources somewhere else, saving lots of Google's time and resources, and allowing Google to be more detailed about its hiring selection process. In contrast, the 250,000 most confident applicants would apply. Therefore, this system would produce the exact opposite of the adverse-selection problem--candidates will basically select themselves. Any rational person (one who chooses actions that maximize expected payoffs) with sufficient capital would conclude that it is profitable to spend $100 for a 5-10% chance at $4166. Similarly, he would conclude it is unprofitable to spend $100 for less than 4% chance at $4166. Therefore, of the population of all rational people interested in the job, exactly those who are sufficiently confident would apply.
I suggested a mechanism that appears efficient and effective in theory but may run into potential problems in the implementation. The goal was to mitigate the information asymmetry in employment applications and to reduce the load on recruiting so that they can be more effective at filtering among those who show sufficient confidence or interest.
I'd like to hear your opinions on how reasonable (or unreasonable) this idea is, and whether you think this will work in practice in the present or in the future.
The recent development regarding Obama's health care legislation begs the question: How was health insurance organized before the modern age? Let me address that question with a personal anecdote.
A few days ago, I pulled a muscle playing Kinect too intensely. I wasn't aware that I had actually injured something (I thought it was a minor, temporary thing), so I exacerbated the problem by stretching it out too much (through various exercises like pull-ups). The problem became worse yesterday due to a day full of classes (8 am to 5 pm), half of which were too full to have seats. By last night, even lifting a cup became unbearably painful.
Hospitals were far away, and it was late. And plus, it wasn't that severe. But I needed help, and I knew it.
Thankfully, Tricia was nearby and helped me out yesterday and today. Walking out to pick up food and purchase a heat pack would have been too painful to bear.
So this is my quick story regarding health care in the pre-modern age: Your immediate circle of friends and family.
It's been a while since my last post here. This semester has kept me fairly busy, with the combination of projects, case competitions, job interviews, among other activities. All of them were fairly routine, except for finding the right full time job. But before we get there, let's step back a bit to get some perspective.
It wasn't always this way. In fact, just before summer I was certain that, after graduation, I would continue my education to get my MS in EECS (through the 5-year program) while simultaneously completing the MoT program. It sounded ambitious, promising and rational, and had the potential to open up a whole world of opportunities. I would get to take many of the graduate level CS courses I could not take in my undergraduate years and I would get to take some MBA courses that typically cost tens of thousands.
In the end, I would come out of school boasting a shiny resume flashing various, diverse skills and experiences, with the breadth necessary to build and cross bridges, and the depth necessary to excel in technology. I would conduct interesting research, spearhead incredible discoveries and spread my name through publications. I would be one step ahead of my peers who came out of college with just a BS, presumably because I would know "more".
My experience this summer shattered those ambitions--in a good way. I had never thought that I would learn so much while working. My project was self-contained, ambitious, required me to explore the whole stack, and potentially very useful. My coworkers (especially my mentor Brian) were very supportive, and I learned a lot from them. It made me think of what it is about school that I do learn from--and I realized that much of my learning happens out of the classroom.
I learn through working on projects (like those from my programming languages course), through tackling difficult problem sets (like those from my randomized algorithms course), and through working with other people (case competitions). But school is structured to be easy and straightforward. There are few opportunities to try something radical, see it fail, backtrack, and try again. You follow a script in school. You write the script out in the world, where I have the same learning opportunities (projects, difficult problems and interaction).
Of course, that begs the question: Why not do research through a PhD program? Why work? I tackled this question early on in college, and decided that I would like to work on projects that have immediate, real-life applications. The social advertising space is still being carved out; so is the space for location based services. In academia time is measured in years. In industry it is measured in months. You can't afford to wait because someone else will have established themselves. The excitement of the industry is fueled by the ticking clock.
So that is the story of why I have decided to forgo more years of school in favor of joining the workforce. Some days I still wonder whether that's the right decision for me--whether I will always be one step behind someone who stayed for his MS, or whether I will always be a step ahead of him.
My next post will focus on my decision regarding where I begin my full time career, including what opportunities I pursued and ultimately why I chose Facebook over the alternative options.
The NYT ran an article testifying to Germany's successes in managing the downturn, and their consequent pride in getting the "right economic model".
Of course, there are benefits to their "short work" program of reducing workers' hours instead of letting go of workers entirely--mainly that the workers' skills do not wither away. But fiscal austerity--the main economic model being touted--is the wrong reason to attribute Germany's relative success to.
Should every country embark on a direction of fiscal austerity, Germany's only source of success--export led growth--would not have been possible. In other words, Germany's relative success is a consequence of the spending of the rest of the world--Germany sucked hundreds of billions of dollars in demand from the rest of the world, and contributed none of its own.
Don't get me wrong--Germany is a great export economy. It produces the goods, like machinery, cars, and other feats of engineering, that are demanded everywhere. I just hope that it and everyone else can see that while tightening their purses may have positive individual impact, on the whole it just makes the downturn worse.
Any fiscal stimulus to counteract a large downturn like we recently experienced needs to be coordinated and have full cooperation among the large economies. Otherwise, the single country that chooses to veer off-course will suck the demand generated by everyone else, and render the plan useless as a whole.
Germany, please do not have the hubris to believe that what you did is "the" solution. It may only work for you because you choose to harm your neighbors for your own benefit. But it is wrong to tell the world that you have found the solution.
Because you have not.
If you aren't aware, there was recently a proof published by a researcher at HP Labs that asserted that P != NP. Although I did not give anything more than a cursory glance at the paper, I know (from summaries) that it leverages principles from physics.
I can leverage something unrelated to complexity theory to prove that P = NP! Suppose we take some NP-complete problem R. Let's assume that there are a finite number of particles in the universe--upper bounded by something incredibly unreal like 1050; and let's assume that there is a finite amount of time in the universe--also upper bounded by something unreal like 1050 years.
Then there exists a constant K such that no instance of R exceeds K in time. Therefore, R is upper-bounded by K--perhaps the number of years of the universe. Since all NP-complete problems can be reduced to each other, we have proven that all NP-complete problems are bounded by K (or some constant factor of it). Since, with large enough inputs, both a problem in P and NP are upper bounded by the same "universal constant".
Since there is one thing that bounds both classes of problems, they are equivalent. Therefore, P = NP.

Shaw family has lived the effects of blood donation
Alan and Yvette Shaw have seen the effect that donating blood does to save a life.
Their youngest of three sons, Coleson, was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA), as an infant.
As a result of generous blood donations and a bone marrow transplant, Coleson will celebrate his 12th birthday on April 21.
The Shaws life changed when Coleson was just an infant, however their faith kept their family strong.
"When he was born at Minden Medical, he needed a transfusion because he had a low hemoglobin count. They sent him to Schumpert to transfuse him," Yvette said.
"Then when we went for his well-baby at two months old, Dr. Elizabeth Phillips did a blood test and saw that his hemoglobin was back down to nothing. We drove back over to Schumpert, they saw that he wasn't making red blood cells and knew that it could only be three things, and one of them was Diamond Blackfan Anemia. From then on, he was transfused every month until he was six years old," Yvette continued.
When he was first diagnosed, a transplant was not an option; only 10 percent lived explained Yvette. As research progressed, they found that if the match was a sibling, then the survival rate went to 93 percent.
When Cade came back as a match for Coleson, Yvette and Alan said to Cade, "When God created you, He created inside of you everything that was needed for Coleson, so before Coleson was ever born, you already had everything needed for him to be healthy." Cade was excited to be his little brother's hero.
At six years old, in July 2007, Coleson had a bone marrow transplant.
Coleson was in the hospital for 45 days after the transfusion, and they had a rough time between infections.
"Coleson was the bravest kid. He is just amazing," Yvette said.
Approximately nine months after the transfusion, Coleson was better.
"We put out a plea when he was in the hospital for everyone to pray for us and send a post card. We got postcards from everywhere," Yvette said.
Yvette stressed how blessed their family is and how much they prayed for Coleson's recovery.
Coleson has just recently been diagnosed with Scoliosis in December 2012. He has to wear a brace for his back 18 hours of the day. Other than that, Coleson is a healthy, growing boy.
Give Blood, Save a Life! Lifeshare will be at the Minden Civic Center, Wednesday, March 20, from noon until 6 p.m. for a Community Blood Drive.

Elle cover girls Britney Spears and Lady Gaga have millions of adoring followers, but only one can be batsh*t insane enough to be named their number one fan.
MTV announced the winner of its Britney's Biggest Fan contest, and the lucky girl is HaileyBrit (that's her username, not her real name—at least we hope not). By the looks of HailyBrit's swag-filled room seen in the video above, we're guessing she's dropped a few grand celebrating her favorite pop star's music—not to mention Spears' private life, too, if the piles of saved gossip rags with Trainwreck Britney on the cover are any indication. As far as superfans go, she seems a little bit obsessive (okay, that's an understatement), but nowhere near bipolar, attention-starved territory.
As the winner of the contest, HaileyBrit received a copy of Britney's "Ultimate Fan" edition of The Singles Collection. Now, this is just a stab in the dark, but there's a strong chance she already owns a copy.
Team Gaga tried the fan-searching shtick, too, but the prize was better than a box set of songs her followers already own. The lucky winner scored a private meet-and-greet with the hair-bowed Grammy nominee with a pants allergy. Check out the clip of the Lady meeting her number one fan after the jump.
Janelle, from Austin, TX, won the chance to meet her idol by submitting this pretty depressing video (posted on Lady Gaga's MySpace blog) chronicling how horrible her life's been the last year—from broken hearts to homelessness to The Fame Kills tour being canceled.
Janelle finally meets her pop savior (whom she apparently shares a love of Jenny Lewis with), and Gaga reassures the anxious girl, "Don't be nervous. I only bite journalists."
We're happy for both girls, who really seem to tastefully balance their love of their respective favorite stars with a sense of reality. We also wonder if MTV and Team Gaga purposefully avoided choosing fans who are so dedicated to following their pop gods, they literally follow them onstage and end up scaring the crap out of them.

Always dreamed on wearing shoes made in Italy? Want to step on a dime edge? Want the rubber courage to climb harder? These shoes are for you! They are some of the best shoes ever. They are not some everyday crag shoe, rather they are shoes you break out once in a while to send a hard project. The curve in the shoe makes it 10x easier to climb over hangs and the stiff rubber helps. Excellent buy!
These shoes have lasted me for two years and are still going. I use them in the gym and outside and I find them to be very comfortable. They are great for those tiny edges and slabby routes. I enjoy the quick velcro straps for indoor climbing and bouldering, however, I am prone to drag my feet. This leads to the abrasion of the first velcro strap near the toe where I have nearly worn away all of the threads holding the D-ring to the shoe. I sewed the D-ring back in pace to make it last longer. Besides me dragging my feet, they have been one of my favorite shoes and the rubber has stayed in great shape.
Got these as my first more aggressive shoe, took about a week and a half of 1-2 hours of climbing per day to break them in, but once they did, they were a freakin' dream. I used to use the 5.10 Newton because I would burn through rubber like no-ones business, but these have stood up to abuse on all kinds of rock for me.
The Muira VS was the first rock climbing shoe that I bought. I climb nearly every day, and my original shoes, which I bought over two and a half years ago now, are still going strong. They look like *$&! and smell even worse, but they are still my go-to shoe for a majority of my climbing. The rubber is really sticky and the Velcro straps are much more convenient than laces in my opinion. I did not size them fantastically aggressively (1.5 US below my street size), but they have been aggressive enough for almost all of the routes I have tried to climb, yet I can wear them all day without my feet getting tired. They are leather so they will stretch a bit, but mine are still quite usable. The yellow die will come off on your feet when you first start wearing them, but that's pretty normal. I bought another pair a year ago when I thought the rubber was getting too thin, but the original pair is still great. They are definitely pricey, but absolutely worth it!
Be aware that if you have never worn aggressive shoes before, these are going to be uncomfortable to wear for long period of time. They perform well on boulder problems and sport routes that contain razor thin footholds. If big wall climbing is your thing I would take a look at the Miura lace-ups, which is less aggressive, but an overall very versatile and amazing shoe. These shoes may stretch some but don't expect them to ever feel too comfortable, if they do, than you probably should have sized down.
I know. I know. "The shoes don't make you a better climber, better footwork does."Well I trust my feet on the thinnest edges while they're in these shoes.They're a great aggressive shoe that works well all-around. They're especially suited for bouldering and sport. Overhung routes are no problem, the downturn keeps those feet sucked in.They only thing they don't do well with is toe-hooking. But that's any downturned shoe. Sizing info: I sized mine to a 41. My all-day beginner shoe is the nago and I have that sized to 41.5. I wear a men's 10 in street shoes. I could probably stand to downsize another half size, especially now that they've stretched some. Speaking of stretching, they will not stretch very much at all where the rubber covers the big toe.I bought these in June 2013. The rubber lasted 2-3 weekly gym sessions of at least 3 hours each until 02/2014. I resoled them with Rock and Resole and they climb like new with no loss of downturn.
My shoes are still in the mail and I am hoping to receive them today. I ordered them after wearing a friend of mine's pair (gross, I know) when I needed new shows. The Sportiva line is excellent and I am a long time Miura wearer. I have had three total pairs of those shoes. This will be my first time with the VS model and I am super excited for the ease of the velcro. If you are debating La Sportiva you really can't go wrong. Excellent grip, excellent build-quality. Edging, overhangs, face, slab, boulders, you name it, both models in the Miura line are great all-around shoes.For what it's worth I needed a half size larger in the VS than in the regular Miura line.
I have owned these shoes for several months now and I really like them. The toes are holding up great with use both in a gym and at my local crag. The shoes edge really well but the talon is a little extreme for smearing. Overall, I am very happy with shoes and would recommend them to anyone with any experience. They are a little expensive for a new climber that will likely destroy them.
I love these sportivas. They are more aggressive than my first pair of shoes, so that took some getting used to. They are worn out after about 1.5 years of climbing in them and I think I'll get another pair. Be careful not to take someone else's shoes because just about everyone at the gym has these.
While the comfort level a 7 out of 10 for me, the performance of this product is phenomenal. Especially on thin edges. They take some getting used to, but I found them to be durable, comfortable enough to wear for a while, and excellent at helping you keep your feet on the wall. My wife borrows mine all the time because she says they make her feel like Spider-Man. The cons for are the fit, but its not bad at all once they get worn in, and the sole perhaps isn't the best for crack....at least for me. Overall I would recommend these to anyone and will not be exchanging for a different brand/model anytime soon.
The high end La Sportiva shoes are great. I've been fortunate enough to own the Solutions, Futuras, Katanas and now the Muiras. Without a doubt, the fit, design, and performance of the Muira (especially the velcro if that is your style) is my favorite of them all. The size is the same as my other Sportiva shoes and fits incredibly well to my foot shape. I am a stickler when it comes to velcro, but the three strap system offers a great amount of variability in the snugness and fit. Overall its one of the best shoes on the market, and the reputation is has gained is truly worth it.
The Miura VS is extremely versatile when it comes to overhangs, slab, bouldering, lead... Right out of the box they are the most comfortable climbing shoe i have ever worn...hands down. I bought them to fit so street shoe size is perfectly fine..I normally go down a half size but it is not necessary with the Miura VS.. Very comfortable aggressive shoe..My first day climbing they needed a little breaking in on the rubber as the gym was cold, and the first two routes were iffy.

What's on the earnings radar?
Here are previews of 4 widely followed companies that are set to issue results later this week.
Third-quarter earnings season is now in full-swing and the pace of corporate reports is steadily ramping up. In fact, this week alone, about one quarter of all S&P 500 companies will be issuing quarterly numbers.
So far, most of the key reports have come from the financial sector and the results have been better than expected. Heading into this earnings season, there was a widespread belief that earnings growth could come in negative this time around, but the financials may prevent that dubious feat from occurring.
Excluding financials, however, this quarter's results will look quite uninspiring. Over the past several weeks, we have seen plenty of companies -- particularly from the technology and transportation industries -- lower their guidance. The question is, will it matter if companies miss their mark? After all, the S&P 500 is still up ~2.5% since early September, even in the face of lowered guidance from bellwethers such as Intel (INTC) and FedEx (FDX).
Following, we provide earnings previews for a few widely followed companies that are set to issue results on Thursday, Oct. 18.
Mr. Softy takes center stage
One of the most highly anticipated reports after the bell on Thursday will be Microsoft Corporation (MSFT). (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.) Its results will give investors a good look into the health of the global enterprise IT market, unlike rival Apple (AAPL), which is much more consumer-centric. For the quarter, analysts are expecting MSFT to report earnings per share (EPS) of $0.60 on revenue of $16.48 billion.
For Microsoft, it's a good-news, bad-news situation. On the positive side, it is currently in its product upgrade cycle, including its Windows 8 launch at the end of October, and the release of its Office 2013 product. However, the company is also facing declining PC sales. Gartner Research recently estimated that PC sales slipped by more than 8% in Q3.
Of course, one of the most frequent knocks against Microsoft is that it has been consistently behind the curve in terms of innovation. Looking ahead, though, it may prove some skeptics wrong when it releases its Surface tablet in Q4. This isn't just a foray into the tablet market either, as it is expecting to produce 3 to 5 million of them.
Gone in a flash
Flash memory manufacturer SanDisk Corporation (SNDK) will be releasing its Q3 results after the market close on Oct. 18. Wall Street is forecasting EPS of $0.34 on revenue of $1.22 billion, equating to whopping year/year declines of 72% and 14%.
As has been widely discussed, semiconductor and memory companies have been under a lot of pressure this year due to the slowdown in the PC supply chain as tablets and other devices continue to take share. What has been working in SNDK's favor, though, is that it has exposure to various mobile devices. This, combined with a reasonable valuation (currently trading with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of ~14x), and persistent takeover rumors, have helped shares of SNDK significantly outperform its group.
Heading into its report, the stock has lost a little steam, but did react well by rebounding off its $42 support level. Upside resistance is in sight, though, residing in the $46.50 to $47 area.
Burrito beat down
It has been a brutal three-month stretch for Mexican quick-serve chain Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (CMG). The stock has been clobbered with a 30% drop since mid-June. The main culprit, not surprisingly, has been rising food costs. Some may recall that during its last quarterly conference call, it cautioned that the drought was destroying grain crops, which will put increasing pressure on food prices and margins. It also commented that same-store sales growth was showing signs of deceleration. Not a good combination, obviously.
Then, to add insult to injury, David Einhorn recently indicated that CMG was on his short list due to increasing competition from Taco Bell. This move has certainly generated a fair amount of skepticism, and rightfully so, in my opinion, but the point that competition is cutting into Chipotle's comps looks legitimate based on its slowing growth trends.
With all that said, the food chain is looking fairly attractive on a technical basis. Shares have stabilized and held their $290 to $300 support zone. Also, these negative fundamentals are likely already priced into the stock. If the company can top its $2.30 and $702.7 million expectations, the stock could have a nice pop.
UNP delivering the goods
The signs of an economic slowdown have been evident in the lowered guidance and poor results from key transport companies such as Norfolk Southern, JB Hunt, and FedEx. Also, the Association of American Railroads reported mixed, at best, figures for rail data on Oct. 11 stating that U.S. railroads originated 283,000 carloads, down 6.3% year over year. But, don't tell this to Union Pacific Corporation (UNP), as its stock just continues to chug higher.
Before the market opens on Oct. 18, UNP is set to report its Q3 results with Wall Street forecasting EPS of $2.18 on revenue of $5.38 billion. Not surprisingly, EPS estimates have been sliding lower over the past month. Thirty days ago, consensus stood at $2.23.
Working in UNP's favor is its consistent history of topping analysts' expectations. Over the past four quarters, it has topped EPS estimates by an average of $0.13 a share.

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Is this not the most brilliant name for a sandwich?! It's created by the one and only, Joe Yonan, food guru over at the Washington Post and one of the most happy journalists I've ever met (really!)
He's got a new cookbook out, called Eat Your Vegetables: Bold Recipes for the Single Cook – it elegantly follows his first book, Serve Yourself: Nightly Adventures in Cooking for One.
Eat Your Vegetables by Joe Yonan
Joe is a true omnivore (I've witnessed him slurp down raw oysters and turn around for a bite of tripe once in Seattle), so he understands how to create vegetarian recipes with full, satisfying flavor, texture and playfulness….like this Grilled Kimcheese Sandwich.
Kimchi is the national food of Korea, it's a condiment/pickle served at the table. The most popular kimchi is made of cabbage, garlic, shredded carrots, green onion and of course, lots of chile. It's SPICY! Us wimpy folks will blot some of the chile off with our napkin (or on our rice) before taking a bite.
Spicy, crunchy, tangy kimchi is perfect with smooth, soothing cheddar cheese. The "Joe Yonan Grilled Kimcheese Sandwich" also features thinly sliced sweet and crunchy Asian pear (or in my case, green apple because I couldn't find any Asian pear).
Joe also says, "Omnivores, the sandwich also takes nicely to the addition of a little ham…" I'll add that prosciutto is my choice of ham for this sandwich.
I've got another recipe in the works from Joe's book – stay tuned for Kale Salad with Miso-Mushroom Omelet coming next week.
Grilled Kimcheese Sandwich
Adapted from Eat Your Vegetables Bold Recipes for the Single Cook by Joe Yonan. Joe's original recipe is for 1 serving, of course. I've adjusted the recipe to serve 4 (no sense in fighting over 1 single Grilled Kimcheese Sandwich in my house of 4.) If you have a panini grill - feel free to use that instead of a frying pan. If the kimchi is a little too spicy, you can use a paper towel to lightly blot some of the chile flecks away.
Ingredients:8 slices bread
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup store-bought kimchi, drained
1 green apple or Asian pear, cored and thinly sliced
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
For each sandwich, spread butter evenly on both sides of two slices of bread. Layer the kimchi, green apple (or Asian pear) and cheese evenly on one piece of bread and top with the other slice of bread. Set a medium skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, then lay the sandwich in the pan and cook, pressing with a spatula from time to time, until the underside is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Repeat on the other side, transfer to a plate, and eat.

This looks great. Can't wait to try all of your recipes-it might make my winter bearable!!!
Someone just told me of your blog and also "Cooking With Mr. C." on Facebook, also a blog. I just "Liked" his Facebook page and came to your blog. It looks good. Denise
That sammy sure looks good. I just happen to have a bit of kimchi in the fridge. Lunch tomorrow!
i just found your blog and it was awesome! I LOVE all your food…look so delicious!
What a great looking sandwich! I love kimchi in grilled cheese! I will have to try adding the apple next time instead of the bacon.
That is kind of twisted but I love it just the same. That color just pops, great photos.
This sandwich looks delicious and I do love the name. I like kimchi unlike my family. I would try this when I'm home alone.
Wow – what a wonderful take on grilled cheese – the addition of apple/pair and kimchi sounds so good!
Looks delish! I went vegan in May, so I will try this with vegan cheez. Hmm, a kimcheese with sourdough bread might be good…
wonderful job, I like it
I had to use a gluten-free bread but I was pleasantly surprised how good the asian pear and kimchi was in a grilled cheese sandwich. I will be making this again. Unfortunately it will have to be when I'm home alone since, unlike me, the rest of my family doesn't like asian food.
This recipe look so yummy. I will definitely try to make this Kimcheese Sandwich today. Thank you for excellent idea.
These looks so great! I love Kimchi! I would never have thought to add it to a grilled cheese, but it's a great idea!

LeBron James Reclaims Most Popular Jersey Crown
The King is back on top. The Miami Heat's LeBron James has reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the National Basketball Association's best-selling jersey list. The reigning NBA finals' MVP is back in the position he last held in April 2011.
This is the third time James has finished in the top spot on the most popular jersey list, which is released twice a year.
The current list is based on sales at the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue and on NBAStore.com from April 2012 through Nov. 26, 2012.
James, who was previously ranked fourth on the best-selling list, takes the top spot from injured Chicago Bull Derrick Rose, who falls to number five. The Oklahoma Thunder's Kevin Durant, coming off his first NBA finals debut in June, jumps from the eighth spot to No. 2. Rounding out the top five is Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant, who has had the top-selling jersey six times and the New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

|Monch SW Ridge
Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2009
|A great ridge for mountain fans who don't really aspire to be hard rock men. Nobody on it until we met two guys descending from summit at the point the summit snow slope begins.
Great concentration needed on the narrow summit ridge which starts the descent down the SE Ridge, again devoid of other climbers that afternoon. Climbed with Richard Pratt and Swiss Guide, Yvan Bender. Recommended.
|Posted Nov 8, 2009 12:55 pm
|Too early
Date Climbed: Aug 16, 2009
|we camped at the foot of the SE ridge and were too keen to start early. So we reached the summit in darkness and before the mist had cleared properly. I'd love to climb it again.

|I took the first train up from Grindelwald and started at 9am. The ridge was pretty narrow, but the weather was great without wind- not good for paragliding ;) This was the best weather I ever had during my four trips to the Jungfraujoch!
I ran back to the train and made the 1pm train back down.

Very Nice and a little cold on the summit.

|Route Climbed: SW Ridge up - SE Ridge down Date Climbed: august 2009
|The Mönch is a beautiful but crowded summit, so we searched a way to climb it in peace. That way is the SW Ridge. Started at the Mönchsjochhütte together with the mass of climbers heading for the Jungfrau. Reached the base of the climb by first light, climbed a snow couloir and immediately had to deal with the crux pitch, some delicate moves on a compact plate. Also the following pitch is rather demanding. After this it becomes really enjoyable and climbing simultaneously we made for a good time. Finally arrived at the summit around rush hour and unbelievably had the summit for ourselves. Easy descent along the SE Ridge.

|After the Eiger, the day before, we thought the Mönch will be an easy hike. Well Nico and my brother Gabriel and Jean-Philippe and I had a real good time and thrilling sensations in the narrow snow ridge. Also the descent towards the Jungfraujoch and train was as well demanding. Beautiful mountain and traverse...

|A very nice snow route, followed by a short but quite narrow little ridge leading to the summit. I assume the view would have been gorgeous if it was not for the massive cloud that arrived just as we summitted and promptly disappeared as we descended. Well, can't always have it all I guess!

|i started the route from kleine scheidegg, after getting the train to arrive there. i went with my dad. we arrived there around 10 in the morning, by the time i started walking it was already snowing but the weather were still somehow clear.
as we were in the south east ridge the weather turned really fast into dense fog and snow fell faster too. after some minutes climbing we decided to go back. even though we had gps, but as i was with my dad i guess it was the right to do.

Date Climbed: Jul 23, 2008
|Way fun, but I have to say that the last 10 minutes to the top takes a lot of trust, guts (and stupidity :-) ) to do that ridge unprotected. It was a great day, and had a great time with Sergio. Because my wife and kids were on the last train down, I sprinted to the train and caught the train just prior to departure - the gates were locked but I got the workers to let me on.

|Going just out of season we used the winter section of the hut as a base, very warm and comfortable. Left early with clear skies to do the SW Ridge, an enjoyable scramble and then onto the snow ridges to the top. Well worth the effort for the views over looking the Jungfrau, Eiger and glaciers etc.

|Talk about a way to get dirty looks. New skool crampons fit fine on sneakers so I packed them with an axe in my suitcase for a business trip to DE and headed to CH to visit friends Luki, Beni and Rolf for the weekend. Maybe it was a little cocky but no one got hurt and it was fun to see reactions. I was basically in a shell, hoodie, jeans and running shoes. It was my groin that was cold but we made it up the normal route and we had a good time in the hut. I think it was the first 4000er tha Luki and Beni had made it up, but not the last.

Great Product and Service
Sep 2, 2014 | By S Pizzano
We have been using the bilateral 300 photo album for several years to catalogue trips abroad. When we were unable to find an album tp house this year's photos, we decided to go online. Not only did we find a variety of cover colors, but Smart Product's price was highly competitive with retail stores. So we bought enough albums to handle our next 5 trips. Thank you for a grreat product, prompt service and a hassle free experience.

Pioneer BDP-35 Album
Jun 29, 2014 | By Sheila
I've been using these albums for 32 years and continue to use them - I am so glad you continue to make this same album, as the assortment of colors on my bookshelf in the same style looks very nice. I love that there is plenty of space to write. The quality of books now doesn't seem to be quite the same as 32 years ago, but it still is very good, but I love the archival acid free photo safe feature and will continue to buy as long as they are made.

The donation of a conservation easement in Oldham County will ensure that 167 acres of scenic farmland and woodlands will remain forever protected from development. Dinwiddie Lampton III and Irene D. Lampton are donating the easement to Louisville Metro Government through the Louisville/Jefferson County Environmental Trust.
The Halls Hill Road property in Crestwood, Kentucky, features a home dating to 1827, built by James Clore. Also on the grounds are historic slave quarters. These structures have been sensitively restored and are still in use, and both are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Current activities on this land include use as a horse farm, hay production, as well as public events such as polo matches and hunting competitions.
Conserving the woodland, streams and large pond found on the property will provide wildlife habitat and help protect the water quality of Harrods Creek, as the property drains to the Harrods Creek watershed, shared by both Jefferson and Oldham counties.
While the Louisville/Jefferson County Environmental Trust will hold the easement, it is partnering with another land trust, Oldham Ahead, Inc., for assistance in monitoring the property.
"The area around Brownsboro has some of the most productive farmlands in the watershed and Oldham County" said Kurt Mason, District Conservationist with UDSA's Natural Resources Conservation Service and chair of the Louisville/Jefferson County Environmental Trust Oversight Board. "Preserving this parcel insures its availability for future agricultural uses and for the natural resource related benefits associated with open space and agricultural lands."
About Conservation Easements
Conservation easements are voluntary, legal agreements between land owners and land trusts that permanently limit the uses of the land in order to protect its conservation value. The land is still owned and managed by the property owner who agrees to give up forever certain rights such as additional residential, commercial or industrial uses. Because the agreement runs with the land, restrictions apply to all future owners of the land, as well.
About the Louisville/Jefferson County Environmental Trust
The Louisville/Jefferson County Environmental Trust is a land trust that is associated with Louisville Metro Government. It was created by ordinance in 1997 to help implement Cornerstone 2020's goals related to parks, natural areas, greenways, historic sites and farmland. The Trust's nine-member Oversight Board consists of five citizens and four members who represent Metro agencies that are responsible for public land. The Oversight Board reviews offers of conservation easements and makes recommendations to the Mayor and Metro Council. Metro Council makes the final decision about acceptance of the easement. The Trust holds conservation easements on over 1,000 acres. Louisville Metro Parks provides staff support for the Trust. For more information, visit www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/planninganddesign/EnvironmentalTrust.htm.
About Oldham Ahead, Inc.
Oldham Ahead is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and a qualified land trust that was formed to preserve Oldham County's quality of life through good planning. Oldham Ahead acts as an advocate on growth and development issues, spearheads preservation efforts and works to improve business, agricultural, and recreational opportunities.

Sure, a baseball autographed by Babe Ruth may be rare, but what about a baseball autographed by the Dalai Lama?
A baseball sent to the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader drew the attention of the Portland Police Bureau on Wednesday.
The Dalai Lama arrived at Portland's airport on Wednesday morning, and he's set to take part in a discussion at the University of Portland on Thursday.
In advance of his talk at the university, someone sent him a package, and police were notified when it arrived at the university loading dock.
Officers responded to investigate the suspicious package, which, as it turned out, was just a baseball with a request for the Dalai Lama to autograph it.
Portland police had the scene cleared by 12:30 p.m.
"Many thanks to UP Public Safety and the Portland Police for handling the situation," the University of Portland's twitter account said. "Very excited to have the Dalai Lama on campus tomorrow!"

Lincoln police say the man who crashed his pickup into a parked car early Wednesday was intoxicated.
Police say 21-year-old Cameron Kann was driving near West S and Capitol Beach. Police say Kann's pickup crashed into a parked car and rolled. He was taken to the hospital and treated for cuts on his leg. He was then taken to detox where police say he tested for a .184 blood-alcohol level.
Kann was cited and released for DUI, negligent driving, no insurance and no valid registration.

I was just about to file a missing persons report on Joe Biden, yet I always knew that it's fairly customary for the Vice President to assume the role of "seen but not heard," almost like raising children decades ago.
However, in the past year, it seems that old Joe has been persona non grata much more than usual.
Perhaps the administrative "powers that be" came to the realization that attacking Mitt Romney's hedge fund activities may circle around and bite them because of the Wall Street involvement of Joe Biden's son.
It also may surface for discussion...

What were you favourite bands when you were a kid or a teenager? What do you think that says about you and your community?
The TEDsters were born in different eras, different places all over the world.
What music you chose, why you do it and what that expresses says a lot about the person, the times, the moral paradigm and political landscape.
Music has always been an integral part of my life. I've been a goth, an emo, a rock-girl, a punk and more, both listening and making music, depending on the period. Some bands that have influenced me are still a good reference, some of them are just a sentimental insight.
Back to the question - what music did you chose when you were young and what do you think it says about the times, the community you grew up in and you yourself, as a person?
In other words - some like Iron Maiden, some like U2, some like other bands, some like everything, some do not. Why do you think that is?

Aug 7 2013: I have enjoyed reading these comments. This is the opening paragraphs in a book I am writting. The book is about how I came to the my approach to life. Song were one means to sort out life. My Philosophy Through Songs
This truth could be called pop psychology. You know, pop music psychology. Sorry about my attempt at humor. A number of my early ideas of how life should and could be were learned or at least introduced though songs. As you will see there were some very useful up sides to this, but there were also some down sides. Probably the most obvious down side was my unrealistic view of relationships. I bought the Cinderella story. It is highly promoted in songs. Specifically, my princess will one day find me and all the bad things in life will disappear and she will save me. In reality, she may help me in the quest over loneliness, but I'm the one that has to conquer that beast. However, at the same time it promotes hope for greater and better things. Something I needed and still need. Something I think we all need.
I still quite often notice that in some situations, the words to a song leads to my response. Sometimes but not often it is the entire song. More often however it is a phrase or even just a few words that resonant with me. I seldom even recall the song name or who wrote/sang it. As a example of words to a song, I don't recall the name, when it was written, or who wrote or sang it is, "...where the eagle flies with the dove, if you can't be with the one you love, honey love the one you're with..." I know I was young, a teenager or early twenties, and love was new, confusing, and girls were just now beginning to show interest. I had an image of what my love interest would be like. None of course lived up to this image. I never felt with any girl how I imaged they would make me feel. So even though I wasn't with the actual one that would be the love of my life and of course save me, I could enjoy and love the one I was with.
Aug 8 2013: The two paragrpahs are the first two paragraphs from one of the chapters in a book I'm working on. I ran out of room for further explanation. Songs provided a means for me to understand the world in which I lived. They either spoke to me about how I viewed life or comforted me about how I was feeling about the difficuties in life. I also passed o looking at yoru question. But glad i did. It has been extremely interesting particularly since I have a close connection to those songs of youth.

Visit Salt Lake said it has won the bid to host the 2015 annual meeting for the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, or SETAC.
Scheduled for November 2015 at the Salt Palace Convention Center, the citywide convention is poised to attract at least 2,500 people, who are projected to generate more than $2.3 million in direct spending during their stay.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
SETAC is a worldwide professional society focused on the study, analysis and solution of environmental problems. The society provides a forum where scientists, managers and other professionals exchange information and ideas for the development and use of multidisciplinary scientific principles and practices leading to sustainable environmental quality.
In securing the bid for the SETAC meeting, Salt Lake beat out Denver, Phoenix and San Diego. One of the key factors in the SETAC board's decision was because of Salt Lake City's commitment to sustainable environmental practices, such as installing one of the nation's largest rooftop solar arrays atop the Salt Palace, said Chris Peterson, VSL's director of convention sales.
Based on surveys of convention delegates in the past, the University of Utah's Bureau of Economic and Business Research estimates the average delegate spends $923 while attending a convention in Salt Lake.
