How Do You Cash in on the Big Data Revolution?
Paul is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Everybody is talking these days about "big data." From 1986 to 2007, humanity was able to store 250 optimally compressed exabytes and general-purpose computing power grew at annual rate of 58% (Science). Every two days, as much data is generated as in all of human history up until 2003 (IBM). However, as any intelligent investor knows there is a difference between information and knowledge. As a result, several companies have entered into the business of collecting this information and the analysis of it and/or creating to tools to enable its analysis and then selling them.
A survivor forges on
Many of you investors are probably familiar with the financial analysis products that FactSet (NYSE: FDS) produces, but have you considered it as an investment? Its current financials are impressive. First, 2012 was the 32nd consecutive year of revenue growth, including the last 16 years as a public company. These 16 years span both the dot-com boom and the Great Recession. Only three U.S. companies have done this. Its market capitalization is $4 billion, and it has over $800 million in annual subscription revenue, and it has a 92% retention rate. This was accomplished with no outstanding debt. Furthermore, its revenues were up 11% in 2012 and earnings up by 14%. Its free cash ratio was up by 19% (Annual Report). It's P/E ratio is slightly high at 22.56, and its dividend yield is 1.4% (Yahoo Finance). These are sightly worse than the market as a whole, but given its other financials they are both reasonable.
That is just what it has done in the past, and past success is by no means guarantee of future success. However, its record of succeeding in the face of past change does imply that it can weather, and even profit from, the various storms it confronts going forward. Furthermore, it sells information and information analysis. With the rise of big data, we are getting better at analyzing data, and firms across the board are realizing the value of gaining access to those resources. FactSet is ideally positioned to take gains in that revolution. It already has an established position in the database market. It still is small enough to innovate as the market adapts, but it is large enough to have established connections and the knowledge to gain more.
Furthermore, FactSet is primarily a provider of financials services. As the economy recovers and that market picks up, the demand for its resources will grow. Even if it not able to take advantage of the Big Data revolution, it should still be able to justify its stock price. Furthermore, because of its established client base and high retention rate, it should be able to maintain profitability for a long time to come. In other words, FactSet may grow extraordinarily fast, but likely will not shrink.
Splunk (NASDAQ: SPLK) is one of the leading companies in the big data space. The biggest problem here is it is not yet profitable. Now, it is a new company, and so in that sense, not making a profit is less worrisome. Its gross profits and revenues are both increasing quite a bit, which is a good sign. Its gross profits rose from about 30 million to about 50 million (Splunk). It and FactSet have very similar market caps, but even Splunk's revenues are quite a bit lower. Furthermore, no matter how one swings it, Splunk is far riskier. It might still be a good investment, but it's certainly more dangerous.
Thomson Reuters (NYSE: TRI) is perhaps FactSet's most direct competitor. It also provides financial data analysis. Thomson Reuters is a conglomerate though and has a market cap about seven times as large as FactSet's. Its P/E is lower though at about 15.06 (Yahoo Finance). Its earnings and free cash flow have been increasing, and it turned profitable in 2012. However, its sheer size does create problems for its adaptation to the rise of data, big and small.
Reed Elsevier (NYSE: RUK) and (NYSE: ENL) is a conglomerate similar to Thomson Reuters in that it has a branch that competes with FactSet. Its financials are also solid with its revenue growth up by 4% and its operating profit up by 6%. Its return on invested capital was 11.9%, which was solid but not amazing. It has the same problem as Thomson Reuters in that its sheer size can cause problems adapting. It also is more heavily invested in the academic journal industry, which is rather stable. As a result, its potential drop in revenue is likely much smaller. In comparison with FactSet, it is likely generally less volatile simply because of its diversification.
Bottom line
When we look at the bottom line, FactSet provides low potential downside, but a substantial upside, and a history of strong financial growth. It is positioned well to take advantage of the growth in data. Splunk also has a large upside, but its downside is also quite large. Thomson Reuters and Elsevier are both conglomerates with a major sector that competes with FactSet. They both may grow quite a bit and are doing reasonably well given their price, but their upside is not as strong as that of FactSet's.
The amount of data we store every year is growing by a mind-boggling 60% annually!

Lindsay Lohan's Porsche didn't strike ANYONE or ANYTHING last week ... at least that's the impression cops got today after inspecting her ride.
TMZ has learned ... investigators gave the car a full body inspection to see if it had any signs of damage that synched up with allegations she struck hookah bar manager Thaer Kamal last week and then fled the scene.
Sources tell us Kamal's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has told Lindsay's lawyer ... in addition to striking Kamal, surveillance video shows she struck two cars.
There are multiple witnesses who say the allegations are all BS ... and claim Kamal is making up the whole thing in a shameless cash grab. And sources say ... the surveillance video does not show Lindsay's car striking either a car or a person.
Although both Lindsay and Kamal had initially refused to speak with cops, we're told they have both had a change of heart.
The incident could be raised at Lindsay's probation progress hearing next week.
@LuvLindsay its just a problem with the chat that had been rectified.
No worries.
Well Rouge Warrior I guess we could sit here and insult each other up the yahoo..why the other kiddies fight it out.....You promise to push me down the mountain and I promise you can if you ride on my lap....!
No ! will quess I will just out to the kitchen and start supper....think I will grill a couple of NY strip steaks and make a salad tonight ..not very hungrey have do do a potato for my general though that man surely loves his potatoes...not a meal without a potato dish somewhere...LOL
Hows that for boring....thought you would like it....
King Crab and brussel sprouts for dinner! Life is good. BUTTER!!!
Thank you Ketjo :)
jeebs this story is about Lilolicious, not your paranoid, delusional troll a*s. Seriously, you need to use your Medicaid to get back on your anti-psychotics stat......
Whoo someone with their million markers are giving me the red checks of my life!
Question: If this is the 'real' Izzy, can he still access his other 'handles' that have been 86'd? If so, it certainly would explain all the red 'check' marks.
I'm sorry. Did I miss your invite?
ketjo, this is because someone is nasty. When another person takes HOURS to help her fix her computer and the time to moderate a chat room so all can use it, then to turn around and say, "I hate that btch" about that person where she knows that person would see it.............That is just plain meaness. Not a conspiracy or anyone from outside. Just a person who stabs people who were kind to her in the back
This is all such an injustice. It doesn't matter.
4 days, 17 hours and 20 minutes until total sweet freedom from all the terrible things in Lindsay's life. From now on, it's ALL GOOD!
Lindsay is a going about sainthood the wrong way...eh? My guess is that she will be made a saint before she gets an Oscar nomination... Maybe she could pull the old virgin birth trick?
OT, but Syracuse!!
help this young woman: 23 minutes ago
ROL says that January Jones is eating her own placenta for energy as a single mom. She and Terry should get together and have an afternoon tea.
Are you upset with Terry? Linds seems to have been a big fan of his for quite some time?
Still staying right were I am...Red....I like my hair and I want to keep as much of it as I can...Getting down right now is not a good idea...some body might decide to grab a handful and I would have to stomp some ass...cause nobody touches a white hair on my head without my permission....
As for my conspiracy theory well think I will have to stick by my guns on that one two...just my opinion sweetie ..feel free to disagree...its a free board after all... wouldn't be the first time I chased the wrong scent ...but I've a gut feeling I have learned never to ignore....

Heroes Ex Machina: A Review of Person of Interest
- Monday, October 24, 2011
CBS is the network of the procedural, that sturdy genre of investigators on the local, state, and federal level that tends to spawn spinoffs: NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds, etc., not to mention Blue Bloods, a family of law enforcers, Hawaii Five-O, tropical cops, and The Mentalist, a criminal mind reader.
CBS's viewership skews older than the most desired 18-49 bull's eye desired by advertisers, but everyone would love to have the network's batting average. After you've launched several franchises like these, how do you vary the form without losing your successful formula?
By having your investigators operate outside the law, using knowledge no on else has and illegal methods. Person of Interest is an intriguing new series that allows the network to venture outside the safe lines of cop shows and take a walk on the dark side of crime time.
Michael Emerson (Lost) plays Finch, a computer genius who was commissioned by the government after 9/11 to develop a giant computer system that gathers information pointing toward suspicious activity. This involves among other things, monitoring the phone calls, e-mails and security cameras of New York City in ways that suggest there is no real privacy anymore: the price we pay to be safe.
Anything pointing toward possible terrorist threats is flagged by national security agencies, but Finch realizes that there's much more "irrelevant" information existing below the level of a terrorist threat, pointing to impending lethal threats to an individual.
Deciding he cannot ignore this information, Finch taps into the machine just enough to not reveal his presence, receiving only the Social Security number of an apparent intended victim. He has the information, but needs someone who can use it to track down who is at risk and why.
That's why he recruits John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a government special ops agent who was believed dead until Finch finds him. A man who has killed many in the line of duty, he feels betrayed by the government agency he'd worked and fakes his death.
But he has the skills and anonymity to find and fix whatever danger surrounds the person of interest whose number has come up. Finch invites Reese to use his skills to save lives. "Knowledge is not my problem," Finch tells him, "Doing something with that knowledge—that's where you'd come in."
So, the new series is a procedural, in that it involves investigation of a crime, but one that hasn't happened yet. Finch and Reese must use the technology and techniques that law enforcement cannot employ to save a life, even if it isn't always the person they think it is.
Person of Interest was created by Jonathan Nolan, who co- wrote the screenplay for The Dark Knight with his brother, director Christopher Nolan. The series shares with that superhero blockbuster the theme of electronic surveillance as a two-edged sword. Finch's super surveillance system isn't stored at a government building somewhere.
"The machine is everywhere," he tells Reese, "watching with ten thousand eyes, listening with a million ears." Episodes are interspersed with security camera footage with tagged figures and other data floating across the screen, information available on millions of people and exploited by the two men in their private crusade of crime prevention.
Person of Interest is sort of a superhero movie without the costume. In fact, seeing Reese a man with a secret identity, and connected electronically to Finch's secret high-tech lair, drop in on criminals gatherings and leave them groaning in pain, one can't help thinking that Nolan has created a sort of plainclothes dark knight.
And like that vigilante, he attracts the attention of the police in the person of New York police detective Carter (Taraji P. Henson) who tries to capture the man who keeps intruding violently into criminal affairs.

Warriors assistant fired for secretly recording team conversations
Oakland, CA, United States (4E Sports) – The Golden State Warriors fired assistant coach Darren Erman for secretly recording conversations between the team's coaches and players, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
According to sources, Erman, who was coach Mark Jackson's second assistant, would record coaches' meetings, meetings between the coaches and players, and informal discussions among coaches that took place in the team's coaches room — all without the participants' knowledge.
"He was taping everything," one source said. "Taping pregame speeches wouldn't have been that bad, but he was taping guys just sitting around talking in the coaches' office."
Sometimes Erman would be present during the tapings. There were times that he would leave the room and leave his phone behind to record conversations the other coaches were having.
It is unclear what Erman did with the recordings. The sources weren't sure whether he shared them with the club's owners or front-office executives.
"Was he taping it for himself or was he taping it for management? That's not known," a source said. "But he had a lot of communication with members of the front office."
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics hired Erman to be their NBA director of scouting,
The Warriors' other coaches began noticing a change in Erman's demeanor and behavior in March, a source said. A few weeks later, they discovered that he was recording them.
After being caught, Erman admitted that he had been recording the conversations for three weeks. Jackson kept Erman on his staff for another week before Warriors' management fired him on April 5.
Before Erman's dismissal, the team demoted first-year assistant Brian Scalabrine to the club's D-League affiliate in Santa Cruz.

Toad in a Hole and Birds in a Nest: What Are Your Favorite Food Names?
We had some British relatives visiting this past weekend, and one night (over burgers and pints, of course!) we got into a conversation about "silly" food names from both sides of the pond. Hear a few of ours and tell us yours after the jump!
One of our favorite food names has always been "bubble and squeak." This always makes us think of something from Macbeth, though it's really just a simple breakfast hash made from the fried leftovers of the previous night's cabbage and roast!
Other favorites include "birds in a nest" and "eggs in a basket," both terms for an egg fried inside a hole cut in a piece of bread. In the US, this dish is also sometimes called "toad in a hole," though our British friends scoffed at this. To them, this term refers to a dish of sausages and Yorkshire pudding.
We also came up with "bangers and mash" (sausages and mashed potatoes with gravy), "beef on weck" (thinly-sliced beef on a special "weck" roll), "limping susan" (okra and rice), and "hoppin' john" (beans and rice).
What are your favorite names for food?

"Bangers and mash" is called "bangers and thump" in scotland. Pretty awesome by my standards. I also love eggy in a basket.
Strange as it sounds coming from a guy who grew up in West Virginia and spent time on farms with chicken coops, the first time I ever had Bird in a Nest was in Prague. After a tortuously long trip from Budapest that involved getting on the wrong train once, jumping off a moving train at the wrong station once, and a friendly ride from the wrong train station to the metro station with some language-barrier challenged but astute Prague police officers, I got my eggs and toast.
In Prague, and much of central Europe, they add a healthy dash of paprika to the eggs when they fry them. Add a mound of potatoes and onions and some blessedly strong coffee, and you have the makings of a meal that fortifies the weary traveler.
I don't know if the Boat House hostel survived the floods that ravaged Prague several years ago (I doubt it did), but I'll always remember Vera and Zitka and the long tables in the dining room with smiling faces and warm home cooked food that was my introduction to a beautiful city.
Slightly off topic from the post's request, but that's the story I always remember when I see bird in a nest.
that picture of toads in a hole...my aunt makes that and calls it rocky mountain toast! when she lived in aspen in the 60s they'd make that over a campfire all the time. finally got to taste it - friggin' awesome!
Oh, my family loves toad in the hole -- it's sausages *in* yorkshire pudding, btw. And can't forget sticky toffee pudding, jam roly poly, bangers and mash, and my favourite dessert, Eton Mess! (no strawberry season is properly celebrated without a few Eton Messes!)... not bad for a Czech married to a Frenchman, with no English roots whatsoever!
(kitchengeeking, the Hostel Boathouse is still there )
In my family (here in the US), we've always referred to eggs cooked in slices of bread as "eggs in a frame."
Hoppin John (beans, rice, with fried chicken)
Hoppin John (black eyed peas, rice, with fried chicken)
I think most of our funny names were my dad's fault - I always liked an unnamed concoction of cream of something soup and tuna over toast, which my dad later told me was "shit on a shingle". There were also Dad Sandwiches (magically delicious fried egg sandwiches - the magical deliciousness has something to do with bacon fat) and Chicken McRicks, dad's approximation of a McDonald's chicken sandwich.
I didn't realize untill I was grown that blood sausage wasn't just an odd name.
Lumber Jack - massive sausages, bacon, fried eggs, home fries, and pancakes (with massive amount of real maple syrup)
We used to stumble into our local all night diner around 4 am and order "Happy Waitresses".
It was a grilled cheese with tomato, delish!
when i was little, there was an episode of reading rainbow that discussed diner lingo. ice and rice? shingle with a shimmy and a shake?
How has no one mentioned spotted dick yet?
My very favourite is son-of-a-bitch in a bag, a frontier-era "food" which was essentially a lot of scraps and leftovers, mixed with oats and some liquid, placed in a big ol' bag and hung out the back of a wagon for the day's travels. Apparently, it would get to the consistency of spam, get sliced, fried and served to starving, but thorougly unimpressed cowboys, hence the name.
LauraII!! My friend's step dad also makes a breakfast sandwich that I named Dale Sandwiches because only Dale makes them the best.
I love fried egg sandwiches, but I love Dale Sandwiches more!
My dad likes to make a camping treat every summer. He calls it Grease Toast.
it's really exactly how it sounds. He fries a piece of bread in the bacon fat and then enjoys it's crispy bacon flavour.
In my german family we eat something called Tote Oma, translates into Dead Grandma, it is a sausage (of course) made of "fresh" (lol) pigs blood. Sometimes available in the States. Talk about feeding starving people, you've got to be really starving to eat that, I hate it and it makes the whole house stink!!! :P
When I lived in Kenya, EVERYONE sauteed bitter greens and onions and then maybe added a dash of milk or spices if any were available. This is served with rice or ugali (bland cornmeal cake) and called "sukuma wiki" which translates to "to push the week" because it's the cheapest thing to make, and the batch you make on Monday can be supplemented with more greens and feed the family all week.
Also, I always thought the name "trifle" was funny, because in spite of all the fruit my family adds, it's quite a heavy dessert and not "trifling" at all. (ba-dum-bum)
A chip buddy is a french fry sandwich.
Highlights for Kids magazine called the 'birds in the nest' a "one-eyed pete" where you used the cutout bit of bread as an eye patch for pete the pirate. If you cross two rashers of bacon to make an 'x' and put that under the pete it looks a bit like a pirate ensign (with a little imagination).
My boyfriend is english, so I hear you with the funny names for things!
My favorite is Egg & Soldiers.. Yum!
Cat heads which are southern style biscuits.
I too first heard of the eggs in toast pictured as rocky mountain toast and still think of that first.
well, we named a pot "Ed" because i need to ask my husband- please get out the pot- you know, the one that's non-stick, and 6 quarts, and lives in that cabinet...
much easier to just say "Ed"
When I was young, the ball stadium used to serve "Pork Bellies" or "pepper bellies."
An individual sized bag of fritos opened up with a scoop of chili and cheese on top. Ya eat it right out of the bag with a spoon.
my mom always called the birds in a hole "gas house eggs." I have no idea where it came from, she's from brooklyn, but that is always what we called them in my family.
and I know it isn't too odd or funny, but I always feel virtuous eating my favorite plain chocolate digestives. if it is called a digestive, it has to be good for you even if it is just a cookie covered in dark chocolate...
Those birds in a hole....
..."hobo eggs" over here!
In elementry school we had something in the lunchroom almost weekly called "Flying Saucers," which was a slice of bologna, fried, topped with a dollop of mashed potatoes and a slice of cheese. I am ashamed to admit that describing it just now made me REALLY want one, despite how totally disgusting it sort of sounds.
While touring an old decommissioned aircraft carrier, my father- and grandfather-in-law reminisced (not so fondly) about sh*t on a shingle (chipped beef on toast), which was apparently a staple in the navy.
My dad grew up calling them Gaslight eggs. He said it was from an old movie called Gaslight from the 40's. Not sure what the eggs had to do with it, as I've never seen it.
from my father's day in the navy, chipped beef and gravy on bread
literally: shit on a shingle
my babysitter used to call "birds in a nest" a "one-eyed egyptian"! don't know where that came from, but that's what i've always called the egg fried in a piece of toast.
Hee Hee...
Shit on a Shingle for Chipped Beef and Toast, and my Dad always called the Eggs in Toast Roody Kazootie Eggs. I have no idea where that came from, it was just fun to say when we were children. Well, still is...
My mom made "the pyre" from old bread, raisins and apples. I think it's called like this 'cause is always fals apart when you try to get it from the cake pan onto your plate.
goosebucket: what memories you just elicited! I went to college in Houston - before the days of attempted good nutrition in dorm cafeterias. I LOVED "frito pie," which was essentially what you described, but served up in a bowl. I recall picking up the local accent and calling it "FREE-TOE Pah."
What, no 'pigs in a blanket'? Mmmm, little porkers (sausages) wrapped in bacon - and an extra layer of pastry, sometimes - and baked until crispy.
Glarp on rice.
Ground beef (cooked) thrown into cream of mushroom soup. Once warm, pour on top of sticky Japanese rice.
My family's favorite comfort food.
why has nobody mentioned spotted dick? to me that takes the prize every time
How about Devils on Horseback (stuffed dates wrapped in bacon) and Treacle Tart (shortcrust pastry with golden syrup and clotted cream)? Great names but Spotted Dick is still the best.
Welsh rabbit, something even the historians can't explain to satisfaction (rarebit, maybe?)
But yeah, spotted dick definintely wins.
spotted dick wins, hands down
"Sh!t on a shingle" (chipped beef on toast) was also an Army staple, at least in the 50's when my dad was a member.
those eggs in toast we call one eyed popeyes
my favorite is Slumgum
its anything you throw together in a pinch mostly in one pot (usually hearty) often using whatever is available no recipe required
I never saw eggs prepared that way until the movie "Moonstruck" when Olympia Dukakis prepared them (with pimento on the top?).
Dad used to make 'slop' for dinner: browned ground beef and canned baked beans, with liberal dollops and splashs of ketchup, brown mustard, Worchestshire sauce, and brown sugar. Eaten with a side of buttered white bread: no nutritional value but beyond yumminess.
The worst meal ever? 'Poor Man's Lobster': boiled cod and new potatoes with a side of melted butter. Yeah, even the butter can't redeem that. And as an adult, I have and never will eat frozen cod again.
Bubble 'n' Squeak which always sounds hilarious (and doesn't conjure up the cooking sounds to me)...
I loved Ants on a Log as a child and now as an adult: spread celery with a layer of peanut butter and top with raisins in a row. Deeeelicious.
Reggiesoang, where I come from a Lumberjack is one-half maple syrup and one-half Jack Daniel's!
Funeral pie is pretty weird. And shoo-fly pie!
At my first job after highschool graduation, I'd work long shifts at a pool window at a country club serving short order junk food to snobs for eight hours a day. The chef I worked with, Steve, noticed I wasn't taking my lunch breaks as regularly as I should be (no one would cover my breaks, another reason it was the perfect/stereotypical first job), and asked me one day what I wanted for lunch. I was embarassed and said I didn't know, and that nothing on the chicken tenders/hamburgers/mozzerella sticks menu sounded good to me. He turned around and whipped up something he named a "Steve Sandwich"-- a PB&J (with strawberry preserves out of dry storage!), thrown onto the griddle and made crispy in clarified butter. I still make them at home, an excellent comfort food!
Cuppa cuppa cuppa's (cookies)!
Cuppa flour
Cuppa sugar
Cuppa canned fruit cocktail, still in the juice
Mix it all up and bake!
French toast - bread dipped in mixed egg and then fried is called Gypsy toast in our house - who knows why?? And blood sausage is called black pudding here, there too?
I love the name Sussex Pond Pudding - which is a lovely lemon and suet pudding ... Delia's recipe is great!
@ Dusa: My family makes "slop" for a week after thanksgiving... basically take a scoop of everything that was on the table, dump it in a microwave-safe dish, and nuke until done. All the flavors have a chance to mingle, and it's almost better than T-day itself.
No one said hush puppies!
During early school years, the cafeteria made ham and cheese "Yum-Yums." I only liked the breading on these things because the ham was barely recognizable as ham. And I don't mean to sound vulgar, but what about "Shit on a shingle"? My dad would always refer to this as food they ate in Vietnam.
Millionaires shortbread, Baked Alaska, monkey custard, Eton Mess, jam rolypoly, there's also an English Rarebit, and in Scotland there's neeps and tatties and bubble and squeak is Rumpledethumps!

All rise please! Paul Murphy's Court is now adjourned
Oct. 28, 2010
Dorchester buried one of its favorite sons this week when Judge Paul Murphy was laid to rest. A graduate of St. Mark's School, BC High, Boston College, and Harvard Law School and a Korean war veteran, Judge Murphy had a long and distinguished career; first as a state representative and then as First Justice of the West Roxbury District Court.
Essentially shy and reserved, he nonetheless was an effective politician who won the respect and admiration of his colleagues as much for his humility as for his brilliant mind.
He became the House majority leader recognized widely for his loyalty, good advice, and sound judgment. Even after he became a judge, legislative leaders would call upon him for advice and counsel.
Comfortable yet not entirely at home in the world of politics, the five-term state representative from Wards 16 and 17, was appointed to the bench by Gov. Frank Sargent. For this compassionate man, the move provided the opportunity to more directly affect the lives of the many unfortunate souls that appeared before him daily. Read more

BPL president Ryan: If funding comes, "strongly supports" keeping branches open
Oct. 25, 2010
Boston Public Library president Amy Ryan has just told an overflow crowd at Lower Mills library that she will "strongly support" keeping BPL branches open if sufficient funding is supplied to do so. More than 100 people are packed into the Lower Mills branch on Richmond Street to hear on update on the BPL's plans. The library was supposed to close this fall, but was granted a reprieve by Mayor Tom Menino last summer.
Ryan has told the assembly that she will recommend that the board of trustees vote to keep the branches open. Such a move would mark a dramatic reversal of the BPL's prior positions on branch libraries.

Editorial: Reverse the vote to close the Lower Mills library
A meeting at the Lower Mills library on Monday evening could well decide the fate of that branch and, ultimately, branches throughout Dorchester and across the city at large. It is now time for all people who feel — as we do — that libraries are a critical civic asset to show up and make their voices heard.
Library officials have scheduled two sets of meetings, starting this weekend. One set of seven meetings — dubbed "strategic planning" sessions by the BPL brass — starts on Saturday with a kick-off event at the Copley Square central library. Then, on Monday, a second-tier set of four meetings— all to take place at branches that are scheduled to close — begins with a gathering at the Lower Mills branch at 6:30 p.m. Read more
Meeting on Nov. 1 will give Fields Corner community a look at Lucky Strike site plan
Oct. 20, 2010
Residents of Fields Corner will get their first look at a revamped proposal to develop the former site of the Lucky Strike bowling alley at Park and Adams streets on Mon., Nov. 1, when the project developers host a meeting for community members and abutters.
Former Fields Corner Civic Association president Hiep Chu will find himself on the other side of the issue at the meeting, having recently left his position with the association and joined the Lucky Strike development team as a paid consultant. Read more
Lower Mills branch backers sense shift of 'tone' on closing
Supporters of the Lower Mills library are urging fellow activists to show up in force at a meeting at the branch tonight [at 6:30 p.m. at the Richmond Street branch] with Boston Public Library President Amy Ryan as a local lawmaker said there has been a "shift in 'tone'" coming from City Hall about whether it will be closed.
At last Tuesday night's meeting of the Lower Mills Civic Association, a representative from the mayor's office said "re-use" of the building isn't the focus of the Monday meeting.

Mattahunt center in limbo; community bypassed, say critics
Oct. 20, 2010
(Editor's note: This article was updated online on Friday, Oct. 23 to reflect comments from Boys and Girls Club of Boston president Joshua Kraft.)
Eight months after the city of Boston began the process of closing some of the city's 46 community centers, the Menino administration is still laboring to finalize a deal with Wheelock College to take over the former Mattahunt Community Center in Mattapan, which ceased operations as a city-run center last summer. The move is drawing criticism from community members and one of Mattapan's city councillors, who are calling for more input and engagement with the broader community.
City officials and other supporters of the Wheelock deal say it will create a unique partnership that will expand programming at a time when the city is reeling from the effects of a weak economy and prepping for an even tighter budget next year. A deal can't be brokered "overnight," but an agreement will be announced in the coming weeks, they add.
"There's a great opportunity with Wheelock," said Daphne Griffin, executive director of the Boston Centers for Youth and Families, which oversees the city's community centers. "Not only are they well-respected…but they have a very strong institutional program background around out of school time and after school time." Read more
Patrick signs $420m spending bill
From the folks at State House News Service:
Services for the disabled, the state's massive MassHealth budget and the State Police received funding infusions under a $420 million budget bill that Gov. Deval Patrick signed without fanfare Friday, shortly before attending a governor's candidate forum.
The bill, paid for through federal stimulus funds that won't be available next fiscal year, deploys accounting methods aimed at putting nearly $200 million into a state rainy day fund that lawmakers and Gov. Deval Patrick have drained more than $1.5 billion from during the recession.

BOSTON (CBS) – Hockey will be back, very soon.
While no start date is set in stone, ESPN is reporting the NHL is targeting January 19 as the day they want to start the 2013 season, which will likely consist of 48-games and the playoffs.
Training camps would tentatively start on Sunday, but that depends on the ratification of the new collective bargaining agreement.
NHL owners are expected to vote on the deal on Wednesday at the Board of Governors meeting, with the players association voting on Thursday and Friday.
The Boston Bruins were originally scheduled for a game in Montreal on the January 19, but that could change once the new schedule is released in the next week.

In a rare move, a Democratic senator held the floor for much of the Senate Republicans' caucus Thursday.
"I know that I'm in a forum of skeptics and I want to emphasize that I am a supporter. I introduced a financing bill because I believe in it but I also think it's important to have an honest discussion about what this is going to cost and how to do it," said Sen. Peter Galbraith, D-Windham County.
Act 48 required Gov. Peter Shumlin to explain how to pay for a single-payer system last January. He cited implementation delay for only providing a vague outline instead. Galbraith says the governor's proposal will look like his.
"There's really only one way to pay for it in broad terms and that is by an employer-- a payroll tax imposed on employers," Galbraith said.
Galbraith proposes an 11 percent tax on employer payroll and a 2 percent rate for employees. Self-employed would pay both ends and the self-insured would not be exempted; federal employees would keep their current government coverage. Galbraith concedes his tax structure may need tweaking to accommodate plan costs-- current estimates suggest between $1.6 billion and $2 billion-- and legislators' tastes.
A separate hearing on the House side also focused on the future of health care.
"We want to have the highest quality, the best access, but just be a little less expensive than the United States," said Al Gobeille, the chair of the Green Mountain Care Board.
Gobeille told legislators financing and plan creation can't be done separately. However, that package still needs to be imagined.
"Financing not defined, and the word sustainable, not defined, so the words I feel good about are 'for' and 'is,'" Gobeille said.
Board members have not even defined the term benefits yet. Before it can sign off on single-payer, members must be convinced:
"These are the things that make your knees buckle," Gobeille said.
After setting dates for further discussion, the board turned its attention to current reform. As administrators for Vermont's exchange sought changes to approved plans for 2015 in order to comply with federal standards. Regardless of what the state does, single-payer won't move forward unless the federal government signs off on re-purposing exchange funds to run it.
The Senate Finance Committee will review Galbraith's plan Friday. Administration officials are also expected to be there, but it's not clear if they will provide any plans of their own.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

In the tense and serious atmosphere that prevailed in the Lok Sabha during Tuesday's debate on the Lokpal Bill, it was, not surprisingly, left to Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad to provide some moments of laughter but with some grim content.
Mr. Prasad said he would rather walk out than be part of the process to bring in a draconian measure that would help send all MPs to the phansi ghar (gallows). "All MPs could end up in one jail or another," he said, pointing out that an irregularity committed even by officials in implementation of the MPLADS could land the MPs in trouble.
"All of you are going to die," he said dramatically. "Anyone can file a case and hound you, calling you chor [thief]," the RJD chief declared even as he said he would walk out, and "will not be a party" to this move.
Then, to the amusement of all, he turned to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and said he should be accepted as the first Lokpal for, "he is honest." It will then be up to the Congress to choose or not choose another Prime Minister.
Mr. Prasad equated the proposed Lokpal to Draupadi. "The situation will be much worse as it will have nine husbands each pulling it in his direction."
The RJD chief did not spare social activist Anna Hazare and sought to read out a letter purportedly written by him in which MPs were described as persons more dreadful than Pakistani terrorists.
Mr. Prasad said he (Hazare) would not be satisfied with the Bill in any case. "He will shift [his agitation] from here to there and from there to here."
There was an international conspiracy to destroy the country in the name of fighting corruption, Mr. Prasad charged. "We need to root out corruption. But we have to be careful too."
He said the Bill threatened the federal structure of the country and demeaned the bureaucracy — the backbone of the country. "The Army personnel, the IB and RAW personnel work for the protection of the country. Where are you taking the country?"
Mr. Prasad demanded the withdrawal of the Bill through a resolution and said it should be referred again to a standing committee. If not, the RJD would decide its own course of action, he warned.
JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav and Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh too batted for the bureaucracy. Mr. Yadav said they were the ones who had shaped the country's development. "Did you consult them before drafting the Bill? With one brush you have painted them all corrupt. None of them will now work. Will that benefit the country," Mr. Yadav asked.
"I feel like breaking my head when I see this Bill. It also threatens the federal structure on the issue of Lokayuktas," the JD(U) chief said.
The SP chief's main stress was on adoption of the amendments moved by the Opposition. It would benefit the government too, Mr. Singh said. He called upon the government to heed the caution sounded by the Opposition.
Mr. Singh said the Bill was too weak to root out corruption and the people were dissatisfied with it. The government had drafted a Bill that protected its interest and not the people's, he charged.

A swipe of your credit card could cost you even more.
Retailers can now charge you an addition fee - up to four percent of your total purchase.
"I use my credit card often, and so I was really disappointed to hear that," said shopper Jean Bubak.
For downtown Sioux Falls retailers this news isn't good for business.
"I do not believe in charging customers more to use their credit cards or debit cards. No," said an adamant Lori Jensen, owner of Go Casual.
"I personally feel it would be detrimental to my business if I were to add an additional percentage to people's bills," said Shelby Nelson, owner of Holsen Hus.
Those answers make Bubak a satisfied customer.
"I think it's fabulous, and if we have people like that in Sioux Falls I'll continue to shop here and support the businesses."
Right now Visa and Master card have enforced the additional surcharge, which most businesses will likely incur.
"It would be great if our customers went and got cash and shopped with cash, but it's just not the way things are today," said Jensen. Everyone grabs their plastic out their purse. It's just so much more convenient."
And, that's why Go Casual and the Holsen Hus will accept credit cards with a smile.

Big Picture or Big Gaps? Why Natural Theology is better than Intelligent Design
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
We are searching for a qualified candidate to serve as Content Editor, beginning August 1.
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.

You might be able to find help fighting breast cancer and other types of cancers at your local grocery store and fitness centers, according to the research findings of Dr. Marian Neuhouser, Ph.D, RD.
Dr. Neuhouser is a nutritional epidemiologist with a background in nutritional sciences. She is an investigator at Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Her research is focused on lifestyle factors such as nutrition and physical activity. Some factors may prevent breast and prostate cancer and improve survivorship in those diagnosed with cancer.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 200,000 American women are diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 American women will die from breast cancer.
Dr. Neuhouser's research has found that for postmenopausal women in particular, being overweight or obese may increase the risk for breast cancer.
Dr. Neuhouser explains, "After menopause, estrogens are synthesized by adipose tissue—the more adipose a woman has, the more estrogen she will make. Adipose cells also synthesize inflammatory factors, which have been linked to breast cancer."
One of the most important things a woman at risk for breast cancer can do, says Dr. Neuhouser, is to "maintain a healthy weight."
Given what the research indicates, Dr. Neuhouser says, "One of the most important things is that if a woman is overweight or obese, she should be advised to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Daily physical activity and following healthy eating habits with plentiful fruits and vegetables and minimal empty calories and fried foods will help achieve these goals."
Dr. Neuhouser says while it can be challenging to lose weight, "Small changes can add up and make a big difference."
When it comes to getting active, Dr. Neuhouser says, "If someone is not used to physical activity, try a five to ten minute walk and gradually increase the time. Having physical activity partners or walking partners always helps. I know my soccer team will be waiting for me on the field, so even if I am tired or busy, I still show up."
Looking to get into a new workout routine to improve your health? Think about joining a local gym. Manalapan and Englishtown are chock full of health centers that can meet your every need. Here are some great health center options:

- Rest...Restore...Rejuvenate
- It's Time Training
The Monmouth County Library also offers various exercise classes throughout the year including T'ai Chi Chih, Line Dancing classes, yoga, and more! Check out their events calendar for their health and well-being events.
When it comes to food, Dr. Neuhouser says, "Start with making one new food change each week. Instead of eating two cookies, eat just one."
If you are concerned about your weight, Dr. Neuhouser suggests getting the support you need by asking your doctor for " a referral to a reputable weight loss program." For nutrition advice, Dr. Neuhouser recommends asking for a referral to a registered dietitian.
Manalpan dietician can help you figure out what you should and shouldn't be chowing down on. If you're looking for more weight management, try contacting Fresh Future-Weight Management on Craig Road.

most of the better ones willMost of the better or well known brands can do this .they will need some kind of outdoor stat or air sensor to read the outdoor temps,that the stat will use to decide the changeover or the balance point,that is user set, to switchover the modes.Some brands will also use the outdoor temps to help control a humidifier setpoint and to lockout various operations of the heat and cool systems it is connected to. All this will be on the web to check out.If you plan on buying one at the big box stores.Check out the model numbers first! Most of the cheaper off brands of t-stats will not support this option.

lockoutMost stats with outdoor sensors do use that info for locking out equipment. The Honeywells, Vision Pro, Prestige, will use the sensor to lockout the compressor in bitter weather or lockout the strips in mild weather. Some will use the sensor to adjust humidity level on a connected humidifier to as not to get too humid in cold weather.

Nokia's perfectly timed response to Apple's iPhone 5b announcement.
Thanks, #Apple ;) pic.twitter.com/eBaanS6qCr— Nokia USA (@NokiaUS)

Thanks, #Apple ;) pic.twitter.com/eBaanS6qCr— Nokia USA (@NokiaUS)
Nokia and HTC spent millions advertising colorful Windows Phones as a differentiator against iPhones and the sea of sameness among Android hardware options.
Brier Dudley, Seattle Times, calls the Lumia 920 stout, the 8X svelte and the iPhone 5, wait for it, twiggy.
Around 2007 when I was personally getting interested in the Nokia n97 to replace my Samsung Blackjack (running Windows Mobile), Apple's iPhone was slated for release. Neither Nokia nor Windows OS devices have enticed me ever since.
Any given project that I'm involved with will have a target device, or a hero device that represents a class of device types. But only the Motorola Atrix, the Samsung Galaxy 10 inch Tab and now the Nokia Lumia 900 have interested me to the degree that I would want to shelve my iOS device of choice and immerse myself into something else.
So, five years later Nokia has my full attention, not just a passing glance, with their Lumia 900. The fact that it's on a true 4G network (AT&T LTE, not faux HSDPA) makes it a bonus.
A few people I've told are ribbing me about Windows Phone, saying "are you liking all six apps?" Microsoft is touting 100,000 apps so far (to Apple's 650,000), so if the size of the app marketplace is the only way to measure an OS then Apple wins. But there's a much bigger point here. We could be moving in a direction that is embracing services in the way apps have enabled — services like Twitter, cloud storage, etc. — and also becoming post-app. What I mean is Windows Phone has embedded many features and embedded many tasks into the OS that could very well replace the need for all those apps. What Microsoft has demonstrated so far, is that the people-centered approach to Windows Phone might just eliminate some of the need for bouncing between apps that iPhone has trained us all to do.
So, yes, two days in, I already miss Instagram (the sharing tools and network but not the editing tools), Camera+ (the editing tools and not the sharing tools) and Flipboard. But with the way the Facebook service is embedded into the contacts (People) and photos (Pictures) I don't expect I will miss the Facebook app. (Yes, FB has deployed a Windows Phone app, my point is it's not needed.)
I expect I'll gather more thoughts here on Tumblr as the days go by. Speaking of Tumblr…

Chapter VIII:
The western slope of Colorado experienced several mineral booms in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These rushes were different than earlier ones, most of the minerals involved were not precious, as had been prevalent during the initial settlement of the state.
One of the bigger booms occurred in far western Colorado and in eastern Utah. The mineral, gilsonite, was discovered in the late 1870's by Samuel Gilson of Salt Lake City. Gilsonite is an oil and tar-based rock that can be processed into asphalt. At first the market was limited to industrial uses, such as lining beer barrels to make them waterproof. In 1889 Gilson, who had been mining the mineral since 1886 near Dragon, Utah, sold his holdings to the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company of St. Louis, who used gilsonite for beer barrels, and felt that it was better to own the source than to depend on a small operation such as Gilson's. In 1889 the Gilson Asphaltum Company was organized, and the Black Dragon Mine, near Dragon, Utah, was further developed. The major problem with gilsonite was that it was hard to ship; it was bulky and highly flammable. At first, mules carried the material to Salt Lake City; this proved too expensive and soon wagons were employed to haul it down to meet the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad near Mack, Colorado. [1]
With a change of hands in management, new money was pumped into the industry. In 1903 the Barber Asphalt Company, owned by General Asphalt of New Jersey, capitalized the construction of a rail line from Dragon, Utah to Mack, Colorado. The Uintah railroad was to be narrow gauge, and it would be built at a cost of $1.75 million, solely to haul gilsonite. The line which ran south from Dragon, over Baxter Pass and on to the Grand Valley, was finished by 1906. [2] In that same year, a toll road company was incorporated at Dragon to build roads to Vernal, Utah, and Rangely, Colorado, in order to provide stage service. [3] It was hoped that the Uintah Railroad would be extended to both of these places later. In 1913 a survey was made for an extension to Meeker, Colorado, but nothing came of the effort. [4]
The rail line, sixty-two miles long, used especially built Shay locomotives to pull flatcars of gilsonite over the long and steep Baxter Pass route. Along the right of way little towns and settlements sprang up, including places like Urado, East Vac, Columbine, Carbonera, Clarkton and Mack. [5] The line ran from Watson, Utah, to Mack, Colorado, using the twisting Baxter Pass route. Hundreds of thousands of tons of the mineral were hauled out and then processed. The asphalt was used not only for industrial purposes, but much of it went into streets across the nation when the age of highway building came in the 1920's. [6]
The Uintah Railway was unique in that it was built for one product, and gilsonite supported it. The railway also ran passenger service from Watson to Mack on a regular schedule. This was the first rail transportation on a north-south basis in western Colorado.
Transporting gilsonite was tricky; it was so flammable that wet canvas sacks had to be used to keep the engine's sparks from setting it afire. In addition, wrecks from runaways, bad track, and the like were common. During the 1920's and 1930's the advent of better roads and heavy trucks made the railroad obsolete, and it was finally abandoned in 1938; the old roadbed has been converted into a jeep road and is still in use. [7] In 1957 a slurry pipeline was built from Watson, Utah to Mack, Colorado, and the gilsonite industry continued to be a major factor in far western Colorado's economy. [8]
Mining in North Park was revitalized in the late 1890's. Gold mining had taken place on Independence Mountain since the 1870's but it was never a paying proposition. However, a few miners worked the area and tried to make a living. While prospecting this region, copper was found in the far northwest corner of the Park. A boom ensued and the town of Pearl, Colorado was built. This copper boom was not long lasting; it was over by 1915, but it did much to stimulate growth in North Park. Copper was also discovered in the Centennial Valley (Wyoming and Colorado), and a minor rush occurred there too. [9]
The other major mineral discovery in North Park occurred in 1890, when the Riach Brothers discovered coal near Coalmont, Colorado. Large quantities of this fuel were to be found in North Park, but development had to wait until transportation for it could be built. The coal was used only locally until about 1911, when the Laramie, Hahn's Peak and Pacific Railroad was built from Laramie, Wyoming to Walden, Colorado. The Laramie Hahn's Peak was projected to go down the Elk River Valley to Steamboat Springs, on to Craig, then to Meeker, down the White River to Utah, and on into Salt Lake City. The road was actually built south to the Centennial Valley, reaching that area in 1906. [10] It was extended to Walden by 1911, and finally the line reached Coalmont in that same year. The coal reserves were thus tapped and the railroad brought cheap transportation to North Park.
The railroad had hoped that the Centennial and Pearl copper booms and the Coalmont coal fields would provide revenue for operation. As it turned out, none of these sources except the coal fields proved to be of lasting worth; if there was a single major source of revenue, it was cattle and freight. The Laramie Hahn's Peak and Pacific suffered from chronic financial troubles, and went through several name changes. In 1907 it became the Laramie and Routt County Railway; in 1914 it was called the Colorado, Wyoming, and Eastern Railroad; and in 1924 the name was changed to the Northern Colorado and Eastern Railroad. That same year it was re-incorporated into the Laramie, North Park and Western, which it remained until 1951 when the Union Pacific mercifully bought it out. The line remains today as the Union Pacific and still serves North Park. [11]
North Park was provided with rail service rather late; the only real benefit enjoyed by North Parkers was that freight service was improved. The population of the area grew to a point that in 1912 the Park was made into a separate county. Jackson county was carved out of Grand County and the seat was designated as Walden. A courthouse was built in 1912, and Walden became the leading town in the Park. Smaller towns such as Cowdrey and Pinkhampton, were originally ranches that became post offices, while towns like Coalmont and Pearl were mining towns that acted as service centers. North Park's development after 1915 was primarily agricultural, with cattle and hay being the most important products. Coal production was marginal, but the discovery and tapping of this resource was significant in that it marked potential development in other areas of western Colorado.
The far northwest corner of Colorado mineral potential remained undeveloped except for a few minor booms. At Blue Mountain copper and some gold deposits were found, but they were far too small to provide the stimulus for a rush. Equally, gold placers along the Little Snake River and Fortification Creek were nearly worthless. Only Hahn's Peak continued as a viable mining area, and by 1900 even it was rapidly fading. However, the turn of the century saw a great interest in other reserves developing. Hayden in 1876 had noted the existence of coal, oil and oil shale; due to the lack of need and/or transportation, these fields were not tapped. By 1900 the demand for coal had risen to the point that the western slope was being re-evaluated. Local residents had long used coal from the Streeter Canyon area, and some mining of oil shales had taken place around Meeker where the locals used it for fuel. Coal was also being mined in this region; however, large scale mining had not taken place. [12]
In 1906 the United States Geological Survey took a look at the Yampa Valley coal fields for the first time. It was known that coal existed, but the extent and the quality were still in question. A survey of the valley showed that major seams of coal were to be found in the areas of Oak Creek, Trout Creek, Twenty Mile Park, Wolf Creek, Sage Creek, Dry Creek, the Williams Fork area, Wollihan, Pilot Knob, and on the Flat Top Mountains. [13] It was noted that only one tenth of the area was in agricultural use, and therefore mining would not interfere with other industries. But the big problem was that there was no way to remove the coal cheaply. The surveyor, William Weston, noted that: "Without a railroad, no shipments of hay, grain, vegetables, or fruit can be made any more than can the coals." [14]
Later reports of the USGS in the area confirmed that the same problem existed; there were minerals in abundance but removing them would be hard without transportation.
A 1906 USGS survey of the Yampa Valley by Nevin Fenneman concluded that high grade bituminous coal was readily available, but that a railroad would be needed to remove it. [15] The same old story; no transportation.
Northwestern Colorado in 1900 suffered from a total lack of cheap and easy transportation. Freight wagons and stagecoaches provided the only means of moving about the region, and the more isolated spots such as Rangely often had only semi-regular service. As has been noted, most of the roads ran to the Rio Grande Railroad, terminating at Wolcott, which was a large terminus for wagons and stages. North Park was served until 1913 by stage and freight wagons, while places like Craig and Steamboat Springs were provided with horse-drawn service. Craig, Lay, Maybell, Baggs, Dixon, Meeker, Axial, Rangely, and Vernal were all inter-connected with stage routes. This was slow and costly transport.
The promise of a new day came in 1903 when a new railroad was proposed. It would begin in Denver, run through Middle Park, across the Gore Range, up the Yampa Valley and to Steamboat Springs; from there the line would go to Craig, then on to Vernal, Utah and finally terminate in Salt Lake City. When word of the route got out; all of northwestern Colorado was excited. Businessmen, cattlemen, miners, everyone saw the coming of a railroad as the answer to all of their problems. [16]

Gwyneth Paltrow was incredibly difficult to work with on the Iron Man 2 set. We reported rumors of a possible cat fight between Gwyneth and co-star Scarlett Johannson months ago, but those are thought to be untrue. There was no catfight because Gwyneth refused to talk to Scarlett.
more photos of Gwyneth after the hop…
Fox411 has a source that claims nobody liked Gwyneth on set.
"Gwyneth is extremely cool at work. She's just a step above professional, too snobby. Gwyneth is not friendly to anyone, and tends to make people feel awkward and uncomfortable. She wasn't outright rude to Scarlett, she just didn't ever speak to her. Gwyneth went out of her way to avoid Scarlett, and they had zero contact, at Gwyneth's choosing."
Why do we think this "source" is a Scarlett friend or fan? Anway, they continue with:
"Gwyneth would be very put out if hair and makeup were running behind or things were not on schedule. Usually, nothing was drastically late, but Gwyneth can instantly say something that lets everyone know she is put out," the source explains. "Much of the crew didn't mind hanging out with her husband, Chris, but if Gwyneth ever came around, they scattered! Chris is so chill and relaxed and she is just the opposite. Chris has been a crew favorite since the filming of the first movie."

Financial Market Analysis Can Go Mad (in the search for irrational behaviour during the South Sea Bubble)
AbstractAn investigation into the legal and political history of South Sea Company subscription finance shows that the subscription contracts had default options built into them, as was typically the case in eighteenth-century subscription financing. Company records and contemporary pamphlet literature show that people understood the subscription finance mechanics that were stated in law. A fair presentation of South Sea share value data also supports this view. We thus conclude that the analyses published in this Review by Dale, Johnson and Tang were irretrievably flawed and present a substantially incorrect history of the markets for South Sea shares.

Spinach Souffle
Confides Ruth Andrewson of Leavenworth, Washington, "I've coaxed our grandchildren to eat spinach by 'disguising' it in this fluffy egg dish."
6 Servings
Prep: 25 min. Bake: 50 min.
1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 eggs,
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Wash and trim spinach, leaving the water that clings to the leaves.
Place in a large skillet and steam just until wilted, about 3-5
minutes. Drain and chop; set aside. Melt butter in a small saucepan
over medium heat. Blend in flour and pepper; cook and stir until
bubbly. Slowly add milk; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook
and stir 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in onion, salt and
nutmeg. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. In
another bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored; stir
into white sauce. Gently fold into egg whites along with spinach.
Pour into a greased 1-1/2-qt. casserole or souffle dish. Place
casserole in a larger pan; fill larger pan with 1 in. of water.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a knife
inserted halfway between the center and edge comes out clean. Serve

Cosseting Monterey bed and breakfast
the inn's dog friendly policy. Three rooms can accommodate your four-legged friend and they'll receive a welcome pack and possibly make a new friend with the dog-in-residence, the West Highland White, Lucy.
In 1929 Monterey's first mayor, Carmel Martin Sr (aka Mr
Monterey), had this mock English Tudor house built in the style of
his wife's wishes (wise man, discerning woman). Hidden within an
Edenic setting of 100 towering trees and a formal English garden
with winding pathways and water fountains, the couple created a
wonderfully private, romantic cocoon, seemingly set apart from the
rest of the world. Yet just a short walk away is the coastal town
Carmel tirelessly cared for. The Martins' home became a luxury
B&B over 30 years ago, thankfully retaining all its inherent
charm and romanticism. In fact, much of Old Monterey Inn's original
stonework remains and the interior has been lovingly restored to
its former glory. Full of individual character, guest rooms and
suites are nothing short of poetic with warming fireplaces and
plush featherbeds dressed in thick down duvets and the finest
quality linens. Antiques adorn every pocket and corner of the
public rooms. Pampering spa treatments take place in the soothing
Spa at Old Monterey Inn but there's no designated area for enjoying
breakfast; have it in the garden, dining room or simply in bed.
Tempting afternoon treats include freshly baked cookies served with
tea and coffee, and wine and hors d'oeuvres in the evenings.

A Wairarapa primary school is trying to stay abreast of research which shuns conventional spelling lists in favour of a bigger focus on phonetics, suffixes and prefixes.
New research has found New Zealand teachers had difficulty finding time to teach spelling and their initial training did not give them the adequate skills to teach the subject proficiently.
Carterton Primary principal Alison Woollard said teachers had received training and a new spelling programme had been developed to keep the teachers aware of the different stages of learning spelling and how to better encourage students.
The new programme broke up the different skills related to spelling which supplemented traditional spelling lists.
Due to daily time restraints, spelling was spilled into other subjects, Ms Woollard said.
"If you try to just do a specific half-hour a day, you might find that difficult, but if you can build it into your writing and reading programme, or if you're looking at a particular way of spelling a sound, you notice it when you're reading and when you're writing, you notice it as well."
University of Canterbury senior education lecturer Dr Brigid McNeill said teachers typically used a memory-based strategy - spelling tests with pre-taught words - rather than concentrating on developing skills which would help children spell all words correctly.
"They need to teach children about prefixes and suffixes, to identify sounds within words, and about common spelling patterns in English. If they know how to spell a word such as 'define' and they know the spelling of the suffix 'tion', they have a good shot at spelling definition correctly."
Dr McNeill surveyed 405 primary school teachers from a variety of regions and schools of varying socio-economic statuses on their spelling instruction and assessment practices.
There was a large variation in practices, but most teachers focused on development through analysing spelling errors.
Teachers struggled to find time to teach spelling within the curriculum and lacked professional knowledge about English language structure.
"Many teachers also reported that their initial teacher education programmes did not provide them with adequate training in this area."
Dr McNeill said teachers needed to build their language structure awareness so they could provide explicit instruction in spelling.
Working on language structure awareness not only benefited spelling, but also vocabulary development and reading skills, she said.
New Zealand children were struggling more with writing than reading, with 32 per cent performing below national standards.
Although spelling was only one component of writing development, accurate and fluent spellers had more cognitive resources to focus on higher-order aspects of writing, Dr McNeill said.

Former NHL Players' Association executive director Paul Kelly has commended the Association for the formation of a review committee to investigate the internal operations of the Union, but still believes there is more work to be done.
"I applaud the players for taking this initial, but important step. I welcome a complete review of what transpired at the NHLPA and the reasons behind it." Kelly told TSN.
During a three and a half hour conference call on Sunday, the PA voted 19-3 in favor of an official review of the Players Association with NHL veterans Rob Blake, Nicklas Lidstrom, Mark Recchi and Chris Chelios appointed to a committee to spearhead the review.
22 teams participated in the call while the remaining eight teams have 72 hours to vote, with only one vote needed to pass the motion.

By Ashley Conroy - email
JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Governor Haley Barbour announced Wednesday that he has ordered an additional 40.6 million dollars cut from the 2010 budget.
He made this announcement after the Joint Legislative Budget Committee met earlier in the day to get the latest revenue projections for fiscal year 2010.
This committee was made up of senate Republicans and house Democrats.
The Mississippi State Senate has contended with the 98 percent rule. This rule states that 98 percent of budget projections will be appropriated, while two percent will be reserved, or put into the state's rainy day fund.
House Democrats said that state agencies could not afford to keep getting cut, while two percent of funds appropriated sit in reserves.
"On our side, we're going to spend the two percent set aside. I don't know how we can balance without spending that. It's not reckless. I mean the money is there, and I think we ought to spend it," said House Appropriations Chairman Johnny Stringer.
The governor said he will veto any legislation that reaches his desk where this rule is challenged.
"Having watched revenue be 400 million dollars short last year, and 500 million dollars short this year. It is clear to me that we should abide by the 98 percent rule," said Governor Barbour.
Stringer said abiding by this rule will only increase taxes for the working man at home. "He can stand up here and say he's not raising your taxes. But, he's raising taxes for the family back home with two children who's trying to make ends meet."
The Revenue Estimating Committee predicted this total shortfall to be 499.1 million dollars. These latest cuts total 9.5 percent reduced from the state budget for fiscal year 2010.
The governor said he thinks this will be the last round of cuts for fiscal year 2010, unless more revenue projections are below what is expected.
In the meantime, fiscal year 2011 begins July 1st.
