Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL) is a $19 billion market cap cleaning products company whose products include kitchen cleaners, sanitizers, and antimicrobial products. According to our database of 13F filings, the largest hedge fund holder of Ecolab at the end of June was Eagle Capital Management; the fund reported a position of 8.6 million shares, up slightly from the beginning of April. Jason Capello's Merchants' Gate Capital cut its stake in Ecolab to 1.7 million shares, but it was still the fifth largest position in that fund's 13F portfolio (research more of Merchants' Gate's top stocks). Cantillon Capital Management initiated a position of 1.5 million shares in the second quarter, putting about $100 million into the stock. Cantillon was founded in 2003 and is managed by William von Mueffling (see more stock picks from Cantillon Capital Management).
In the second quarter of the year, Ecolab's revenue was up 74% from the same period in 2011. Costs of sales and SGA expenses rose as well, but margins only decreased slightly and the company was able to deliver a 47% increase in net income. However, Ecolab Inc. issued additional shares in the intervening period and so earnings per share only rose to 62 cents versus 53 cents – still an impressive increase of about 17%, but something that is important to note rather than focusing solely on raw earnings numbers. Over the first half of the year, EPS were actually down due partly to restructuring charges and a large increase in interest expense, which in turn was partly due to a merger with Nalco Holding Company.
Looking ahead, the combined company trades at 18 times analyst estimates of its earnings for 2013. We would think that some of Ecolab's extra costs should fall off as the integration of Nalco proceeds, and given the company's performance in Q2 we should see some improvement in earnings per share. However, if the Street is right on the $3.52 per share figure for next year then the company is probably fairly valued at that multiple, and we'd note that comes out to a quarterly average of 88 cents, significantly above what Ecolab Inc. did in the second quarter. Cautious investors should also note Ecolab's beta of 0.6, suggesting that on a statistical basis its link to the broader market indices is limited.
Other cleaning products companies include Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE: CHD) and Stepan Company (NYSE: SCL). Church & Dwight is about even with the larger Ecolab from a valuation perspective, trading at a forward P/E multiple of 19. However, its business was about flat last quarter versus a year ago, as revenue and earnings only changed by 3 to 4 percent. Its dividend yield of 1.8% is not worth a commitment either. Stepan, which manufactures chemicals that are in turn used as ingredients in cleaners, is cheaper at trailing and forward P/Es of 14 and 11, respectively. It too is seeing business about flat compared to 2011 but has a valuation advantage over Church & Dwight.
We would also compare Ecolab to Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE: CL) and The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG), which include cleaning products among their larger portfolios of personal products. These companies make for better defensive plays, with lower betas than Ecolab and dividend yields of 2.3% and 3.2% respectively. On an earnings basis Colgate-Palmolive matches Ecolab's forward P/E and Procter & Gamble is actually cheaper at 16 times forward estimates. Given that these are larger companies, they would seem to be better buys unless an investor wants high exposure to cleaning products specifically.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Coming off a first-place showing and upset of No. 25 Maryland, the Rutgers gymnastics team scored 194.075 points and finished in second place at the Cornell Quad Meet, held on Saturday, March 6 in Ithaca, NY.
Western Michigan finished first overall with 194.425 points, followed by the Scarlet Knights, Cornell (192.450) and Ithaca (190.450).
Once again, the floor exercise was RU's top event, as three Scarlet Knights finished with scores above 9.800. Elizabeth Fittery (Denver, PA) led the way with a 9.850, followed by Casey Santangelo (Cherry Hill, NJ) and Stephanie Zick (Pittsburgh, PA) with identical 9.825 scores. Nicole Bradder (Dover, NH) and Caitlin Wight (Washington, PA) each scored a 9.750 while Sveta Shterenberg (Sharon, MA) finished with a 9.175. As a team, RU scored 49.000 points on the floor, which was the second-highest total among the four teams.
On the balance beam, Lisa Abrams (Mt. Ephraim, NJ) nearly matched her own school record when she finished with a 9.900. Against Temple on Jan. 21, Abrams scored a 9.925 to established a new school record. Bradder also had an impressive performance, scoring a 9.825 while freshman Jackie Campbell (Weatherly Heights, NY) scored a 9.800. Marinelle Antonio (Mat. Laurel, NJ) added a 9.775.
Zick highlighted Rutgers' efforts on the uneven bars, scoring a 9.850 while Shterenberg notched a 9.800. Tracy Heckler (Laurel Springs, NJ) and Fittery scored a 9.725 and 9.675, respectively, while Antonio had a 9.300 and Bradder scored a 9.050.
Bradder had a team-best 9.675 on the vault and Fittery was close behind with a 9.650. Campbell (9.525), Lorena Johnson (9.550), Jamye Shelton (9.500) and Santangelo (9.250) rounded out Rutgers' placewinners.
In the all-around, Fittery finished first overall with 38.700 points and Bradder was second (38.300). Fittery's best event was the floor exercise (9.850) while Bradder's was the balance beam (9.825).
The Scarlet Knights return home to the Livingston Recreation Center this Saturday for the final home meet of the 2004 season as it hosts North Carolina and Ursinus at 1:00 p.m. Rutgers will honor its three seniors prior to the match – Abrams, Wight and Laura Iepson (Sweetwater, NJ)

Still a bit gutted I couldn't get to either Rival Mob / Mind Eraser shows last week but someone set up a two camera rig for the Sheffield gig and grabbed both sets in full. Fucking A. Rival Mob above, Mind Eraser below.
Totally unlike being there of course but still pretty sick all the same.

Continuous State Dynamic Programming via Nonexpansive Approximation
AbstractThis paper studies fitted value iteration for continuous state dynamic programming using nonexpansive function approximators. A number of nonexpansive approximation schemes are discussed. The main contribution is to provide error bounds for approximate optimal policies generated by the value iteration algorithm.

Overnight Marinated Shrimp
cookbook2 Posted: 11/11/08
themarme Posted: 12/11/09
I make this for my christmas party every year and everyone just loves it. I mix it together the morning of put it in ziplocks to marinate and the flavors are absolutely delicious! I think the trick is to make sure you have lots of ice to stop the shrimp from cooking longer than it should. Excellent
Betsyr42 Posted: 11/29/09
This was a real winner. I served it on Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. I was asked to make it again for a Christmas Eve gathering. It will become a holiday classic.
lauraevers Posted: 01/01/12
This is a great recipe, the only change I like to make is no yellow peppers but add thin sliced lemons instead.
MyPumpkin99 Posted: 12/28/11
I loved this. Tasted even better after marinating over the 24 hours. A great receipe to prepare in advance.

As me and my talked about my job here in Singapore, she opened about a looking for another job. She suggest that I'll ask my friend who is currently working in a big company to inform me for any job vacancies. She said that I'll accept any job offered whether if its in operation or in admin careers.
But she doesn't mean to look for the job right away. That is actually my plan. To look for another job and let my price increase along the way. Because some say that its better that way rather than wait for salary increase. But I'm not really in to that right now. I'm still enjoying my current work.

The fellow will work closely with the Division of Plastic Surgery. There are opportunities to participate in major reconstruction cases resulting from both trauma and congenital anomalies. Joint research projects may be undertaken in both clinical and laboratory settings. This interaction is viewed as an important part of the close relationship between the Divisions of Ophthalmology and Plastic Surgery at both our adult and pediatric centers. Over 100 major cases are done yearly by the craniofacial team. In addition, because of the team approach, the oculoplastic fellow has frequent opportunities to work with members of the Division of Neurosurgery at Children's Hospital and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania on major congenital orbital problems and orbital tumors. The Center for Human Appearance provides an exciting opportunity to work with a variety of experts in related disciplines.
A close working relationship has been established with dermatologists who provide MOHS surgery training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Secondary reconstruction of adnexal defects is performed at Scheie Eye Institute and occasionally in the MOHS surgery suite at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The opportunity for research projects in tumor immunology is also available for the oculoplastic fellow. There are also coordinated activities with the MOHS fellow from the Division of Dermatology.
The Center for Human Appearance, which includes cosmetology, hair transplant and laser programs, provides a unique opportunity for learning cosmetic surgical principles and working with the oculoplastic surgeons in the University group. In addition to cosmetic surgery, these techniques are applied to areas of reconstructive surgery such as acute and secondary facial and orbital fracture repair. There is also an opportunity to work on the prosthetic fabrication of various facial devices created by Kenneth Kent, DMD and the coherent ultra pulse laser.
Significant experience with other oculoplastic surgeons doing face-lifts, liposuction and laser resurfacing is available through electives.
Members of the Divisions of Plastic Surgery and Dermatology are available to instruct the fellow in the use of Tuneable Dye and other cutaneous laser techniques. Laser resurfacing is done at the Center for Human Appearance by the oculoplastic group as well as by Plastic Surgery and Dermatology.
There are excellent opportunities for the oculoplastic fellow to work closely at Children's Hospital with the pediatric ophthalmology fellows in managing motility problems. There is an Adult Motility Clinic at the Scheie Eye Institute. The oculoplastic fellow can participate in this clinic where complicated strabismus problems such as those resulting from thyroid disorders or from post-orbital trauma are evaluated.
Drs. Steven Galetta, Nicholas Volpe and Grant Liu provide adult services. Dr. Liu also specializes in pediatric neuro-ophthalmology and interfaces with oncology and the Neurofibromatosis Clinic.
Exposure to ultrasonography, CT scanning, MRI and lacrimal scintigraphy are an active part of the oculoplastic fellowship training program.
The Division of Pediatric Ophthalmology works closely with the Craniofacial Reconstruction Clinic, a clinic for children with neurofibromatosis and the Ophthalmic Genetics Clinic. The Division also participates in the Neuro-Oncology and Vascular Tumor Clinics at Children's Hospital. Excellent ophthalmologic ultrasound, sophisticated electrophysiology equipment, visual evoked potential recording and ERG/EOG are available, permitting immediate on-site evaluation of complex problems .

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - The Tennessee Titans placed middle linebacker Colin McCarthy on injured reserve prior to Sunday's season finale against Jacksonville after he continued to experience symptoms from a concussion sustained last month.
McCarthy exited a Nov. 25 loss to the Jaguars with a head injury and has sat out the team's last four games as a result. The second-year pro also missed time earlier this season because of a sprained ankle.
The injuries limited the 2011 fourth-round pick to just seven contests this season, with McCarthy recording 38 tackles and one interception that he returned 49 yards for a touchdown against Miami in Week 10.
To fill the available roster spot, the Titans promoted fullback Collin Mooney to the active roster from the practice squad.

HARRY POTTER SPELLS: a summary
(Source: ofabeautifulnight)
If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.
Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.

How to Close a Deal Like Warren Buffett by Tom Searcy & Henry DeVries - Book review
How to Close a Deal Like Warren Buffett
Lessons from the World's Greatest Dealmaker
By: Tom Searcy, Henry DeVries
Published: October 9, 2012
Format: Hardcover, 192 pages
Publisher: McGraw Hill
"No matter what size company you have, you can land your Warren Buffett kind of deal", write consultant and founder of Big Hunt Sales, Tom Searcy; and Assistant Dean of Continuing Education at the University of California, San Diego, Henry DeVries, in their strategy filled and very practical book How to Close a Deal Like Warren Buffett: Lessons from the World's Greatest Dealmaker. The authors describe the highly successful deal making concepts, techniques, and wisdom employed by legendary investor and negotiator Warren Buffett.
Tom Searcy (photo left) and Henry DeVries recognize that most business people won't negotiate transactions on the scale conducted by Warren Buffett, but offer the insight that the same principles apply to all deal making events. The authors provide the timeless and readily applicable strategies, as utilized by Warren Buffett, in a an understandable format The authors point out how the methods used by Warren Buffet differ from traditional and even conventional negotiation strategies.
The authors emphasize the real and very tangible differences between Warren Buffett negotiated transactions, and those of hostile takeovers, and of standard mergers or turnarounds. For Warren Buffett, the numbers are very important, but the people involved in the deal are even more important. This Warren Buffett idea of working with the people creates an entirely different dynamic from traditional negotiation and deal making.
Henry DeVries (photo left) and Tom Searcy understand that every negotiation will follow a path of its own, but that there are important similarities as well. The authors demonstrate how Warren Buffett established a set of negotiation rules and principles that transform the entire process from one of chance to one of predictable and mutually beneficial outcome.
The authors share 101 of Warren Buffett's maxims and wisdom for successful negotiation. The principles are shared with the reader in eighteen lessons to establish both thinking and acting like Warren Buffett in any negotiation, regardless of size. The eighteen lessons are as follows:
* The quest to make deals like Warren Buffet
* Go big
* Consider many, like some, love few
* Bad deals at good prices are still bad deals
* Deal only with dealmakers
* Clear the deal path
* Getting to dealmakers
* When you are going to eat an elephant, don't nibble
* A little help goes a long way
* Victory favors the ready
* The why matters
* Expect the unexpected
* Don't fight, but when you do...
* If you want to marry, don't tarry
* The final hour
* The last step is always slippery
* After you make your first Warren Buffett deal
For me, the power of the book is how Tom Searcy and Henry DeVries combine a comprehensive framework of Warren Buffett's negotiation strategies, with a complete course in putting those principles into practice. Throughout the book as well, the authors include special vignettes of Warren Buffett's investment advice and wisdom. The authors also include a number of their own negotiations and deal making case studies to illustrate the principles in action in the real world.
Tom Searcy and Henry DeVries enhance the main text of the book with a very complete and useful appendix. The appendixes include what the authors call 101 Warren Ways, that encapsulate Warren Bufffett's deal making rules; Chronology of Warren Buffett's highlights, which provides a historical overview or his major transactions; the making of a dealmaker, where a brief biography of Warren Buffet is provided: and a section on further reading on the life, strategies, and ideas of Warren Buffett as recounted by other authors.
I highly recommend the engaging and results oriented book How to Close a Deal Like Warren Buffett: Lessons from the World's Greatest Dealmaker by Tom Searcy and Henry DeVries, to any business leaders, executives, sales managers and representatives, and entrepreneurs seeking to improve their own negotiation strategies and skills through a deeper understanding of the principles and wisdom employed by Warren Buffett. This book will transform any business person from an ordinary negotiator to one who understands the fundamental principles of making a deal.

Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to create some fun
Secret Sweetheart Cookies
How great is it to open something up and find a surprise inside?!!
These cookies combine the old school goodness of my great-grandmas sugar cookie recipe
and the idea of a pinata cookie.
They turned out absolutely adorable and the boys can't wait to give them to their preschool class mates.
I used this *best sugar cookie recipe ever* and my cheater royal icing recipe {found below}.
I was inspired by these halloween trick-or-treat cookies and these classic Valentine's sugar cookies. Yum!
After mixing the cookie dough, I cut out 40 solid hearts and 20 hearts with smaller hearts cut out of the middle. After baking I had enough hearts to make 20 cookies ~ two solid hearts and one cut out heart for each cookie.
I used a mixture of icing sugar and water to "glue" the heart cut out cookie to the top of a solid heart cookie.
I found these great heart-shaped candies {like jelly beans} at Michaels and picked up heart-shaped sprinkles at our local grocery store.
It was hard not to eat all of these as I was putting cookies together ~ so good! ;)
Each cookie contained one jelly heart and sprinkles. Then I "glued" another solid heart cookie to the top of the cookie sandwich. Finally I iced the cookies using this flooding technique. Rather than making royal icing I use a mixture of icing sugar {powdered sugar} and water. I mix the sugar and water with my desired food colouring until I get the consistency that I need for the cookies. A little thicker for the outline and thinner for the flooded centre.
Love, love, love them!

You can't record Cell Phone call without Permission
Before we begin, you should know that tapping cell phones calls without permission is obviously very illegal. Recording a cell phone call, even your own, is possibly illegal too. There are state laws and federal laws that you should check before you start recording cell phone calls.
"The federal Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2510 et seq., prohibits the willful interception of telephone communication by means of any electronic, mechanical, or other device without an applicable exemption. In the absence of more restrictive state law, it is permissible to intercept and record a telephone conversation if one or both of the parties to the call consents. Consent means authorization by only one participant in the call; single-party consent is provided for by specific statutory exemption under federal law. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2511(2)(d)."
This is just federal law. Your own state law might have stricter laws on cell phone recorders taping your cell phone calls. And if you're calling someone in another state, THEIR state might have even stricter laws on it. In the end, if you get into some kind of trouble over recording a cell phone call, they can use whatever federal or state law they want against you. Even if it's a state law from the state of the person you called and not your own state. Watch out and be smart when you record!!!!

Voice logging is a device used to record audio from telephones, radios, microphones and other sources. Voice data is typically stored on hard drives, RAID drives (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), or SAN storage solutions. Logging voice is another way of saying it. Voice logging is the practice of regularly recording audio, usually in a business situation. In business settings, users find many benefits to recording there conversations. Logging voice data can be handled at on location, remotely, or a combination of both. There are two basic modes for recording: vox mode, which is voice-activated, and non-vox mode, in which the recording is continuous. This allows businesses to keep records, improve customer service, increase security, and decrease errors. Although Voice logging is synonymous with telephone recording, or phone recording, it includes also recording the radio and VoIP conversations. The word "logging" comes from the log of calls or audio files that is generated as each recording is made.

As you can see NOWFASHION uses other sharing mediums such as Facebook and the extremely popular app 'Instagram' (recently bought by Facebook) to exhibit the voice of the company. The image above is of an event that the staff of NOWFASHION attended and then shared via Facbeook. This again creates the illusion that the consumer is experiencing exclusive insight into the industry and keeping up to date with events and trends, even though they may physically not be there they can still digitally experience it!
NOWFASHION is a website that I came across in my research on live streaming and web videos. This website has images that are streamed live from the event happening at the time. It also has a drop down box of other events that are coming up (featured in the second image above). This website is a great example of how digital media is giving consumers the ability to see things as they happen! New media has evolved the Fashion industry to be even more up beat, changing and diverse than ever before. This website creates great insight for people.

The Role of Media in the Fashion World
Media influence helps consumers to identify and define fashion trends. People of the global markets rely upon the media to "see" new fashion on their behalf. The most eager fashionistas may not physically attend fashion shows. Instead, they read the fashion news on theirlaptops or mobile devices, or watch the show in real time from the comfort of their home.
Technology speeds up the rate at which the images of fashions, accessories and designers' views reach consumers. Instead of reading published seasonal fashion trends a few months' before fashions reach the retail level, today's consumer and retail buyer may see new merchandise around the same time. The media—through television, cable, computer, Internet, blogs and videos—shows potential buyers new ideas. Consumers then go forward to vote with their wallets.
Some fashion trends surprise the fashion industry. For example, a starlet taken to court wears a form-hugging mini dress. Within hours, the dress—for sale at $575—sells out in stores and online.

Hey there 'Junglepenetrator' thanks for your question!
I DO love magazines, but I've also found that after heaps of research this medium of advertising is still effective. People love having a tangible object to call their own and magazines are not only seen a a touch point for distributing an advertising message but an accessory too. I feel that print media although there is lots of it throughout magazines the brand messages are not lost. In fact I personally think that this type of media is more personable and has longevity. People keep and collect magazines like books!
I found this great website http://www.fashionreview.com.au/
which looks at current Fashion trends in Australia. Great source to keep up to date with events, news and campaigns.
The bottom line is that fashion advertising works towards appealing to the emotions of the people who would wear specific types of clothing. Whether the elicited feeling is one of prominence or social acceptance this appeal can certainly sell clothes!
As you can see the above image for the brand Guess exhibits an image of desire, wealth and affluence. It is a consumer phycology to feel like if they purchase Guess that they too will be perceived with the same attributes of the brand.
Fashion advertising is a bit different than other types of advertising because the focus is getting people to purchase items that they are going to wear on their body. This means that advertisers have to make the advertisements more enticing to the target audience than usual. This is why it is important that fashion advertising relay the message intended to the audience intended.
There are generally two things that an advertiser wants to relate to their target audience. The first thing is about affluence. For example, all the wealthy people wear this type of clothing. An advertisement trying to relay this message might include a beautiful man or woman with clearly expensive jewelry at a high end restaurant.
This concept can be achieved with print, digital or action media; typically all three media types are used, although you will often find that with high fashion advertisers focus most on print media (as if to imply that those with taste don't spend a lot of time watching TV).
I came across this controversial fashion campaign for Surf/skate/fashion and had to share!
The campaign is titled "Untitled".
The campaign aims to return to the brands roots with a focus on grand scale sculptural art, further cementing its position as pioneers of innovative art-driven creative.- Love it ;)
Magazines, Web and other Fashion Media
One of the most famous and influential mediums of fashion media was the Vogue magazine, which got founded in the US in 1892. It is still one of the longest-running and at the same time one of the most successful fashion magazines with a loyal fan following. Over time there have developed so many other channels through which the presence of media in fashion is clearly seen. There are thousands of fashion websites that combine the merge traditional editorial writing with user-generated content.
Fashion media presents people with the all kind of information regarding fashion and there are many people who follow what fashion media says. This clearly shows that the role of media in fashion industry is of great importance because it is quite an influencing medium with greater reach.
Moreover, like any other filed there is much more awareness in people regarding the editorial critique and commentary which appear in fashion magazines, newspapers on television, internet through fashion websites, social networks and in fashion blogs. People get to read honest reviews about fashion trends and much more. It is one of the reasons which have made fashion industry understanding the role of media in fashion.
Media in fashion has an important role to play because of the fact that fashion journalism has emerged as a significant part of the fashion business. With fashion emerging as a big industry in its own respect, there have been so many factors that have strong influence on this industry and fashion media is among them.During the starting of the 20th century, the presence of media in fashion began to increase gradually. The magazines dedicated to fashion and fashion runways began to feature images of different fashion creations and became even more influential on people than in the past. The role of media in fashion was clearly visible from the fact that in big cities across the globe these magazines were selling like hot cake and left a profound effect on public clothing taste.

It's safe to say that the fashion industry has adopted social media as a marketing platform to reach their customers online and reignite brand passion and customer loyalty.
While fashion brands and retailers are still grappling with social media in terms of controlling brand perception and establishing metrics to measure its marketing value, they have used Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social communities to develop digital marketing strategies to drive online sales and retail store traffic. Here's how they're doing it.

Death penalty has always been a controversial topic in today's society. Although many states have this in their legislation, few actually make use of it while others simply ignore adopting capital punishment.
Topic Suggestions for Death Penalty Essay
Although a death penalty research paper is clear enough, it isn't exactly narrowed down. Students can further specify what topic they intend to tackle regarding capital punishment. Following are just some possibilities regarding the topic:
- Talk about the moral issues regarding death penalty and why it should or shouldn't be part of the legislation.
- Talk about individuals who have been given the capital punishment and how their death or time in the death row has impacted society as a whole. Did they deserve it or would a life sentence suffice?
- Consider the different circumstances that would cause the court to sentence capital punishment in an individual. Concentrate on a specific country or region.
- Talk about the history of capital punishment and the states that have adapted the legislation. It's also possible to focus on just one state and trace their history when it comes to the death penalty.
- Compare the death penalty in various countries and what transgressions they consider grave enough to warrant such punishment.
- Talk about individuals receiving the death penalty in foreign countries. What did they do and what was the action of their native country upon hearing the news?
Of course, those aren't the only topics that students can tackle when writing a death penalty research paper. Like most essays, students must abide by a specific format to ensure that they create a cohesive paper. If the teacher requires a format and word-count, then make sure to follow those instead.
Although the death penalty research paper might sound too easy, this doesn't mean that it can be done overnight. Students are advised to create an outline weeks or even months before the paper is due. Allot at least one hour each day for the paper, checking information and arranging the outline depending on your thoughts. This should churn out and guarantee an A+ from the professor.

Consulting Can Make You Rich
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The global market for IT services is large and only getting larger. IDC estimates that the total market was over $855 billion in 2011, and expects it to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6% to 2018. The beauty is that it tends to be high-margin, and the services provided are in high demand -- helping its customers lower IT costs.
My favorite pick
This stock is up over 100% during the last twelve months, compared to the S&P 500's 25%, but it could move higher. The company remains one of the largest IT service firms worldwide, specifically being a leading IT service contractor for the U.S. federal government -- Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) is one to watch.
It is engaged in the IT and professional services industry, with clients including both governments and commercial enterprises, which rely upon the use of information services and associated systems for the conduct of their operations. Computer Sciences' operations include IT and business process outsourcing, and emerging services, such as cloud computing and cyber-security protection.
Sequestration has placed some overhang on the stock, where its North American Public Sector business got almost 70% of its revenue from the Department of Defense during its first quarter.
To help with any revenue declines related to budget cuts, Computer Sciences is focusing on cost reduction. Through the first quarter the company saw $400 million in cost savings and expects to save over $600 million for fiscal 2013. Worth noting is that Computer Sciences also pays a 1.7% dividend yield.
Going global
Infosys (NYSE: INFY) is the India-based global IT services company offering end-to-end business solutions, including consulting, design, development, maintenance and systems integration.
Infosys' operating margins have been declining for the last three years and may well continue over the interim. Some of its key contracts have been at low prices, which should continue to strain margins. In it's recent quarterly results management was not overly optimistic about the company's interim performance, due to poor expected discretionary consulting service demand.
Going big
IBM (NYSE: IBM), aka "Big Blue," generated nearly $40 billion in 2012 (40% of total revenue) from its global tech services segment, which includes IBM's outsourcing, integrated technology services, business transformation outsourcing and maintenance services. The thing about IBM is that its revenue model is more diverse. The tech giant also sells software and hardware.
Unlike its smaller IT peers, IBM is expected to see 2013 revenues up 0.5% in 2013 and 2.5% in 2014. At this stage IBM is much more of a cash generator than a growth story. The company had some $12 billion in cash at the end of the first quarter, generating $2.4 billion in cash flow from operations and free cash flow of $1.7 billion.
Going offshore
Cognizant Technologies (NASDAQ: CTSH) is a US-based consulting firm that's holding its own versus its India-based peers. The company uses an onsite-offshore business model. It has over 75% of its workforce located offshore, but has a solid presence in the North American consulting market.
Cognizant is a big benefactor of offshore outsourcing, where companies are continuing to look for cost saving opportunities. Cognizant is also hoping to tap the broader geographic markets, including tapping the outsourcing markets in Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East.
Bottom line
The barriers to entry in the IT services sector is high, needing large amounts of infrastructure. The consulting industry also tends to afford its companies with impressive margins. Overall, the industry should see impressive tailwinds as IT budgets get boosted on the back of a rebounding economy. As far as the industry's best bet, Computer Sciences also trades the cheapest on a price to earnings basis:
All in all, Computer Sciences appears to be a great value play, but investors could also find value in the high-growth story of Cognizant, where analysts expect the company to grow EPS at annualized 18% over the next five years.

text: Any form of motorsport requires an enormous commitment on behalf of everybody, whether it's a one-man operation preparing his autocrosser for a local event or a multi-million dollar Formula 1 team. The economies of scale may be vastly different, but everybody goes into it with a will to win. While the driver inevitably receives all the attention, he's simply the one who presses the pedal. Before he gets the chance to show the ladies his skills, there are parts to be fitted, components to be checked and adjustments to be made. In January, we were invited to join our friends at Turner Motorsport for the Daytona round of the Grand-Am race series. The team has traditionally fielded a number of BMW touring cars, and this year would be no different; it had entered an E46 M3 and brand new E92 M3 into the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge that took place on Friday, as a warm up to the big event - the Rolex 24. The famous 24-hour event is open to both GT cars and Daytona prototypes and, for the first time, TMS had entered a car - a BMW M6. In reality, it's BMW-shaped thanks to the carbon fiber body panels that clothe the Riley tubular chassis. Under the hood, pushed almost into the cockpit, was a naturally aspirated 440hp E39 M5 V8 engine; a motor that was homologated for the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car series and had proved reliable in other applications. The car was bought ready-to-race at the end of '09, leaving the team scant time to learn and prepare it for the Daytona testing at the beginning of January. All they could really do was prepare it to the same impeccable standards lavished on the touring cars and hope for the best. From yellow to black; 24 hours at Daytona We carried a number of blogs on the car's preparation, and encourage you to visit youtube.com/turnermotorsport for videos of the car's initial testing and some Daytona footage. However, the entire race has been filmed for a special webumentary on the team's first 24-hour race. Dawn over Daytona Taking a redeye out of Los Angeles, we arrived in Orlando, FL at the buttcrack of dawn. The short drive to Daytona got us to the famous Daytona International Speedway at 8am, where Turner Motorsport's crew of 40 people greeted us. They were divided between the two Continental Challenge touring cars, the M6 GT and support staff for tires, engine, suspension and catering, etc. Many were volunteers, happy to participate in the historic occasion of Turner's first 24-hour race. Among them were former employees who'd worked on previous Grand-Am and SCCA World Challenge campaigns. The driver line-up was particularly impressive. Four pilots would guide the M6 through its torture test; Bill Auberlen and Joey Hand are BMW Works drivers, driving the ALMS M3 GT2 for BMW Rahal Letterman Racing as well as TMS M3s for many years; Boris Said is another TMS regular who's currently driving Nascar and has experience in prototypes, touring cars, etc; Paul Dalla Lana was sharing a BMW 328i in '09 with Will Turner. As it turns out, these four would endure more than just exhaustion to bring the BMW home. While the touring car team appeared to operate in a serene bubble, the GT team was more flustered. An oil leak in practice resulted in a top-end strip-down, while a fire in a later session brought inevitable concern. "Smoke, smoke, smoke!" aren't words you want to hear over a communications headset! Fortunately, the damage was minor, caused by an alternator wire chafing on the carbon bodywork. It was dealt with during the pre-race strip-down that began late into Friday afternoon and continued almost up to the start of Saturday afternoon's race. All the major components were replaced, from the brakes (calipers, rotors and pads) to the suspension uprights and axles, while the transmission and differential were fully rebuilt. To the uninitiated (and even some initiated), it didn't look like the car would make Saturday afternoon's grid. It was in too many pieces to start the race, never mind finish it. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | » | View Full Article By Greg Emmerson Enjoyed this Post?

Update on Brewery Space
First, we want to thank all our supporters and distributors who have hung with us during these turbulent times. It is because of you that we are fighting so hard to get up and going again. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
Second, the news...
We are currently in discussions with several cities. After our initial Facebook post, identifying three potential cities interested in attracting Skull Coast, we have heard from three more. One is South Carolina, and the other two are in North Carolina.
Over the course of this process, we have learned a great deal:
1. There is a huge supply of industrial space available in certain markets;
2. Some of this industrial space is located within economic zones with financial, tax and job benefits;
3. Space is not the only concern in considering a site: plumbing, electrical, gas, signage restrictions, and foot traffic also play a huge role;
4. The ability to expand within the space is crucial;
5. The willingness of the city and county to fast-track the permit process is necessary; and
6. Finding a landlord, architect and general contractor willing to partner with you to create a practicable and unique space able to attract craft beer drinkers is key!
We are currently weighing all these options while looking at each potential site. How each city responds will determine where we end up.
We'll keep you updated!
