The Six Degrees of Bacon
David Ng is a geneticist, writer, and creator of The Candy Hierarchy. Read more by him at McSweeneys and right here.
Lately, I've been writing about the philosophy of science and thereby finding myself pondering the plight of Bacon. Not the food, but rather Sir Francis Bacon, the renowned writer and gentlemen of the 16th and 17th centuries—famous for being a member of Parliament, friend to the British Monarchy, and (most important to me) often referred to as the "Father of the Scientific Method."
Such thinking then naturally led to Kevin Bacon, who in turn, reminded me of the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon." Inevitably, I landed at entertaining the specifics of the "Six Degrees of Sir Francis Bacon."
This refers to the phrase, "The Six Degrees of Separation," which submits that you are less than six "friend of a friend" steps away from everyone else on the planet. In other words, it suggests that mankind is more connected than you would think. This calculation has never been formally proven, and there is evidence to suggest that social media has brought it down to four degrees, but it is nevertheless obvious that it probably only works well if the people involved happen to be alive.
Which is to say that the six degrees of Sir Francis Bacon, a man who died in 1626, are all dead.
With this in mind, we need to return to the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon." This originally concerned itself with connections in the entertainment industry, but the phrase nowadays is symbolic of humanity's interconnectedness. Put another way, Kevin Bacon is the unofficial figurehead of this game.
But figureheads are usually transient. Mr. Bacon is no longer the sprightly young man that danced into our hearts in Footloose. Nor is he, despite having played an invisible character in Hollow Man, capable of hiding from the debilitating march of time. As he ages, the concept and the mathematics of the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" will ultimately no longer be practical or relevant. Consequently, there will need to be a proper discussion about a "six degrees" successor.
And why not start that discussion now? How would one decide on such a successor? Of course, this would come with a few rules. Whoever is chosen should at the very least be younger than Kevin Bacon. Perhaps Mr. Kevin Bacon should even have a role in this process. These being speculations born of procrastination, I'd like to put forth the following scenarios and then maybe see if the procrastinating community at large has any thoughts on the matter.
1. The British Monarchy model.
This is where the weight of responsibility is passed on to the first born. Furthermore, since we're being thematic, this option should totally include a throne and also a crown that can be worn on special occasions. Maybe a fancy sword as well. A sword would be awesome: consider "The six degrees of the sword of Bacon."
2. The Democratic Model
Why not do this with an open election? This would certainly be entertaining to watch, and would no doubt fuel some interesting discussion. Although the mind boggles at how the nominees will be decided upon, and how exactly they would present themselves (more so, since the principle of the Six Degrees, hypothetically is meant to be immune from the nuisance of ideology).
3. The "So You Think You Can Dance" model
The obligatory "reality TV" option. As Mr. Bacon is no stranger to the entertainment industry, this is perhaps the most logical model to find a successor. A dance-off would be particularly magical. Think of the fun, the spectacle, the press! And think of the Kevin Bacon-themed So You Think You Can Dance stationary. Each time a successor is chosen, the theme of the next reality show could be tweaked according to the accomplishments of the new figurehead. Imagine different contests each time around, ranging from cooking to planning a wedding, to a full on Hunger Games-styled deathmatch.
4. The Kevin Bacon as Eternal Deity Model
Maybe Kevin Bacon would rather keep all the glory to himself, and keep it forever. If so, there is another option out there. Both Jesus of Nazareth and Kim Jong-il of North Korea used it. Basically, it's where Kevin Bacon declares himself the reference point, and instead of looking for a successor, the actual number of degrees changes with time. In other words, in a few years, we can call it "The seven degrees of Kevin Bacon," and then "The eight degrees…" and so on and so on.
Alternatively, it could be like the Dalai Lama: every time you pass on, there is a reincarnated version of you being born elsewhere. I'm not sure how this would work, exactly—how would we identify this reincarnated Kevin Bacon?—but it seems reasonable. Plus, the thought of an organized religion with the word "bacon" in it ia appealing.
Let me end by saying that if this all sounds a little too complicated, then let's simplify things and just pick me. I would absolutely be down with it, especially if I can score a throne, crown and a sword out of the deal.

The dirty secret of the Cthulhu mythos is that their originator, HP Lovecraft, wasn't a very good writer. In addition to his unfortunate tendency to embrace his era's backwards ideas about race and gender, Lovecraft was also fond of elaborate, tedious description that obscured the action and dialog. Which is a pity, because Lovecraft did have one of the great dark imaginations of literature, a positive gift for conjuring up the most unspeakable, unnameable (and often unpronounceable) horrors of the genre, so much so that they persist to this day.

Good thinking, David. It is sad to think of the inevitable expiry of Kevin Bacon (well, except if you've recently watched Hollow Man).
Perhaps the perpetual title of the position should be "Lord Bacon", a title that Francis Bacon held. (Amusingly, his mother's maiden name was Cooke, making her Anne Cooke Bacon.) My feeling is that bacon, the tremendously hip foodstuff, is more popular than dancing, so the title could be earned by winning an international bacon-eating competition. Although that might not help with the goal of having title-holders with reasonable longevity.

With so many people concerned about population there is the Pol Pot model – the ideal being zero degrees of separation – and the problem is solved.
There seem to be a lot of threads on BB today that make me think about genealogy.
In family genealogy, you have two components: the degree of relatedness and that of removed-ness.
Someone dying in 1626 does not necessarily mean all their connections are dead too. The connection is to the family; the individual may be a number of generations removed from the individual in question, but they are still connected.
If someone is tied to Kevin Bacon via a family member, living or dead, then they are tied to Kevin Bacon. In other words, if I am 5-degrees-separated to Kevin, then my great-great-grandchildren will be 5-degrees-4x-removed. Doesn't matter if he's alive or dead.
Are you aware of the Erdős–Bacon number?
Lord and Lady Bacon does have a nice ring to it. And then, of course, there is "Darth Bacon." Seriously though, I am actually curious to see if there is a great heir suggestion: one that kind of makes you go THAT'S IT! I think I'd be fine with any nomination just as long as it's not Justin Bieber, a Kardashian, or any member of Nickelback. #heirofkevinbacon
The Erdős number precedes the Bacon number by 25 years, so there's the true original concept!
You know, just because Sir Francis Bacon is dead, doesn't mean that the concept of degrees-of-seperatedness no longer applies.
Indeed, it is almost certain that there is at least one person alive today who was friends with someone (possibly now dead) who was friends with someone (possibly now dead) who […] was friends with Sir Francis Bacon. No?
And if there is at least one person who was connected to Sir Francis Bacon in this way, then the rest of the planet is separated from Sir Francis Bacon by no further than six degrees more.
Kind of mind-boggling this: We are all friends with someone who was friends with someone who was friends with someone who […] was friends with almost anyone in history. It reminds me of the fact that the last Civil War widow died recently.
If we're going to pick someone out would have to be someone whose name has the same metre and sort of rhyme with "separation" so my choice of Joseph Gordon-Levitt is out.
As this is the internet the obvious choices would be Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Will Wheaton or Felicia Day, but none of those fit the metre quite right.
Jason Statham kind of fits, and he makes for more of a challange than Kevin Bacon ever did (which is actually all that matters to me).
Maybe we'll just have to wait for another star named Bacon to turn up?
It's my understanding that Kevin Bacon became the posterboy for this kind of game because he was a hardworking actor who built up a sizable body of work over the years, going from teen actor, to leading man, to character actor, while acting in ensemble films, genre films, blockbusters, indies, etc. So his heir to the Motion Picture version of this game will be someone who, by popular accord, has spent some 20+ years doing the same. Since Bacon should have at least another 20 years left in his career – who doesn't want to see his Lear, when the time comes? – his heir may be a child or teen actor today. Future generations just might play Six Degrees of Zac Efron.
Or, better yet, Six Degrees of Mickey Rooney's Brain in a Jar.
The most mathematically rigorous option would be to give the position to the current Center of the Hollywood Universe.
To elaborate: The Oracle of Bacon uses IMDb to calculate the Bacon number of any given actor. Based on this information, it can be determined that among the people who have defined Bacon numbers, the mean Bacon number is 2.981747. The Oracle, however, doesn't just calculate Bacon numbers—it can find the number of degrees of separation between any two actors.
From there, it is possible to calculate the connectedness score of any given actor—the mean number of degrees of separation between that actor and all other actors who can be connected to them. For instance, since the mean Bacon number is 2.981747, that's Kevin Bacon's connectedness score.
The Center of the Hollywood Universe is defined as the actor (living or dead) with the lowest connectedness score. Currently, that's Dennis Hopper, with 2.802166.
For some reason, I've been thinking" The Six Degrees of Thom Yorke." I don't know why, but there you have it…
I'll gladly step up as a younger generation. I've traced my Bacon roots to the 1400s and know how my family ties to Kevin Bacon.

Also I rode the ladies route today(mens has a wee loop added on in an area I didn't want to go into at night) if you need the garmin data. It includes getting to and from the course though, not just a clean file of the route, it was really windy tonight, and wet, same as tomorrow's forecast only wind from the west, not the north.

Thank you for bringing this video presentation to our attention.
There are a couple of comments: There does seem to be one minor error in the video where they mention that the Nikon F Camera was first presented in June of 1959. That may be a bit late. The first presentation of the Nikon F that I seem to recall was at Photokina in February of 1959.
While the design and manufacturing of the camera obviously are rightfully proud elements of Nippon Kogaku K. K. (Nikon), a healthy portion of the credit for the acceptance of the camera here in the United States should be given to EPOI, Ehrenreich Photo-Optical Industries, for their innovative marketing of the Nikon F at the time of the turn of the decade from the 1950s into the 1960s. While this may need to be confirmed, one of their efforts may have included presenting to most of the major photojournalists of the 1960 time period with a Nikon F and some lenses for their use in their work in exchange for "their evaluation." When these photographers saw what the camera could do, not only did they buy more bodies and lenses and other accessories for themselves, they also became one of the loudest voices promoting the Nikon F camera system. This turned out to be a masterful marketing coup for EPOI and was rewarded back to them many times over with the profits they made.

Gen. Romeo Vasquez, who runs the armed forces in the Central American nation of Honduras and is apparently at the center of yesterday's coup that deposed the nation's democratically elected president Jose Manuel Zelaya, comes from a rich tradition that has long produced a string of military dictatorships in the region, a tradition that is unfortunately born in the USA. Vasquez is reportedly the latest Latin American coup leader trained at the U.S. military's School of the Americas:
Vasquez, however, refused to step down, bolstered by support in Congress and a Supreme Court ruling that reinstated him. Vasquez remains in control of the armed forces.
Vasquez, along with other military leaders, graduated from the United States' infamous School of the Americas (SOA). According to a School of the Americas Watch database compiled from information obtained from the US government, Vasquez studied in the SOA at least twice: once in 1976 and again in 1984.
The head of the Air Force, Gen. Luis Javier Prince Suazo, studied in the School of the Americas in 1996. The Air Force has been a central protagonist in the Honduran crisis.

They say you learn something new every day -- guess that depends on what your definition of the world "something" is -- but I did learn something right after Michael Jackson died. In my blog eulogy, I wrote about what Jackson meant to those who grew up in the 1970s, calling people like Jackson, Barack Obama and us lesser mortals as "rear-guard Baby Boomers." After all, I'd always been told that the American Baby Boom lasted from 1946 through 1964, but as someone from the second half, I knew it wasn't quite right to lump so many people with different cultural and political touchstones in the same group. Someone born in 1946 (Bill Clinton, prominently) would have graduated high school a year before the escalation of Vietnam. while someone born in 1964 turned 18 during the presidency of Ronald Reagan.
Apparently, sociologists decided the same thing a few years back, that people born from 1955 to 1965, give or take, were not Baby Boomer Classic, so they decided to call this lost sub-generation "Generation Jones." Huh? Named for who, for what? Davey Jones of the Monkees (who was very popular in my first-grade class!)?

It turns out that Michael Jackson's death isn't the only reason to be thinking about "1984" this week.
Will Bunch
The album pictured at top is the Jackson 5's "Third Album" -- but it was the very first album I ever owned. I'm pretty sure it was a Christmas present in 1970, when I was 11 years old and was ready for ownership of some of the static-ridden tunes I'd been listening to with Cousin Brucie on New York's Top 40 WABC. Actually, it wasn't the first rock or soul album in my house; my Dad was just 30 years old when the Beatles released "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1967, and we had a couple of Beatles' LPs. maybe even the Rolling Stones. And I even remember Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and the first Led Zeppelin disc in my friends' basement, when their older siblings with the peace-sign posters in their basements were out of the house.
But that was the whole point of owning a Jackson Five record -- they were the first group that didn't belong to the '60s, to young hippie-wannabe parents or to patchouli-scented or Nehru-jacketed brothers and sisters. Indeed, their first big hit -- "I Want You Back," with the killer piano riff that signaled a fresh new sound -- was released six weeks after the muck of Woodstock, and it was one of the first No. 1 songs of the 1970s, a new decade, our decade. The Jackson 5 and their strings of hits like "The Love You Save" was the first pop music that truly belonged to us -- the rear-guard Baby Boomers -- and their lead singer Michael Jackson, just 12 years old, smiled broadly bounced with a kind of energy that spoke of our new blood that would build something fresh atop the ruins of a tumultuous decade.
Will Bunch
For 50 years, he slid back and forth on a continuum -- from our most thrilling entertainer to one downright creepy dude. But if you're a Rear-Guard Baby Boomer like me, the folks just a tad too young for the fun and mayhem that was the 1960s, then you know that -- for better or worse -- Michael Jackson was ours, the first pop icon that truly belonged to us and not to the Woodstock People..
And now he's gone.

Just when Philadelphia needed more voices, the city has lost one of its best, the British-American journalist Steven Wells, who found a home in the City of Brotherly Love and wrote frequently for Philadelphia Weekly. This is from his last column:
Life isn't about grit and grime and squalor. Life is getting angry at destroyed cat jigsaws. Life is the amazement at seeing the Vanity Fair title erupt as a scarlet mohawk-cum-quiff across a dainty Johnny Depp's forehead, and the drooling anticipation of watching a Brian McManus-recommended terror-comedy on my computer later tonight. And of course the sight of tireless, tie-less and tire-burning liberal rioters taking to the streets of Tehran.

I compared readings from my XTi's meter and the Soligor spot meter, and the Soligor is consistently giving me readings of one stop more exposure than the XTi's meter. After comparing exposures a few times, I decided to take some pictures. First, I took a picture using the XTi's reading and then another using the Soligor's reading. I think the Soligor is actually giving the more accurate reading.
I was getting my meter readings by metering the wood of our deck, which is a bit brighter than zone 5, but if both meters were metering for zone 5, there shouldnt have been a discrepency if both meters were calibrated the same, right?
Oh, and before anyone bashes me for using a digital camera for comparison, I also used my K2 and got the same 1 stop discrepency. The reason I used digital to take the test pictures is instant feedback.

Securities Repurchase ProgramSince December 31st, 2010, under Valeant's securities repurchase program, the company repurchased an additional $63.8 million principal amount of the 5.375% senior convertible notes due 2014, for an aggregate purchase price of $181.3 million, bringing the aggregate repurchases to $190 million of the $350 million face value of the 5.375% convertible notes.
As previously announced, Valeant repurchased 7.4 million common shares of the Company's common stock held by ValueAct Capital in March 2011 for approximately $275 million. In addition on May 6, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase approximately 4.5 million of the Company's common shares from ValueAct for $224.9 million. This purchase is expected to close in mid-May, in advance of the redemption of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, which we expect to settle fully in common shares upon conversion of the notes.

At the time of its introduction the gross weight limit was 1050 lbs.
The Toucan is a wonderful virtually unknown airplane. There are not many centerline planes period.
It was designed and developed by Peter Corley.
On another page Bob Chapman, a colleague, gives a fine description of his previous flying and work with earlier machines.
In the seventies and eighties there exploded on the scene a new enthusiasm for grass roots flying.
People like Chuck Yaeger checked out some of the models.
Authorized monitoring of ultralight level equipment was virtually non existent;in Canada guidelines came in much earlier than in our American neighbour's experience.
So too the home-built arena grew with a new flurry, but under more scrutiny.
Probably former colleagues and pilots of Peter Corley's era would have a better grasp of his design reasons for the Toucan. He had been employed by Ultraflight, which produced a two place side by side version of twin engine Lazair. A few of my friends have owned these. IMHO they may have been somewhat underpowered, especially with an engine out scenario (asymmetrical thrust), So when Corley developed the Toucan he did not at first add much more power, rather he went "centerline" thrust which tends to remove a lot of the hazards of an engine out, no matter what altitude.
As noted by the former Toucan general manager and test pilot, no two planes were exactly alike; in other words they tended to be custom built for the purchaser. There are inevitable revision and upgrades, ask NASA.
Rumors have come down that a large batch of Toucans were due to go overseas until an unfortunate
political promise was reversed by a new government. Really though as wonderful as the plane is in its niche, one might not want fly it for crop dusting for instance, because of its long wing and weight; centerline yes, wing and frame different please.
So we are left with three Toucans available to fly, four if we count the aluminum prototype and of course another hanging in an Alberta museum. It is an experience most pilots will never have - not squeezing their butts at take off. Mind you, just as "tried and true" is a fallacy so too is fail-safe. We must all fly safe.
The Toucan models by "Canaero/Novadyne" deserve more exposure. [It is now 2015 a third one is being rebuilt.]
They flock together
& can be downright noisy

Im brand spanking new to mountain biking. Lived over 20 years in Colorado and finally decided I would rather bike than hike. I don't see myself getting overly technical in my rides but want to get a decent bike that I can learn on and still use once I've progressed in conditioning as well as skill. Is it better to start with a pure entry level bike like Trek 3500 or should I spend the extra money on the 3700 (I use Trek because its the only model I've tried so far...am open to suggestions)?

text: A simple way to determine magnification is to measure the height of the in-focus subject field and divide that into the height of the focusing screen. Determining exposure with the camera's meter is probably as easy as any method. Rulers have been available (or can be calculated and printed) that give magnification and exposure compensation when they are focused on. The formula for exposure compensation (E) is E=(M+1) squared where M is the magnification ratio (from www.macrophotography.org).Originally Posted by Jim Noel

So every guy would love to get some obedience training for his unruly mutt, excuse me I meant girlfriend. With the success of Dog Whisperer, I do think it's rather strange a network hasn't tried their hand at a tv show about getting your mate on task. I personally would love a show that would teach me how to get my boyfriend to put the toilet seat down, without me having to thump him on the fatty part on the back of his head.
Maybe this will be insightful to couples who need to probably call it quits but just don't have the money to leave yet. Or, couples who are staying with their boo until something better comes along. Wait, I think most of us are doing that, never mind. Any who, enjoy this laugh featuring some comics.

It has not been a good year for delis in Kansas City. The New York Bakery and Delicatessen on Troost closed, as did Pumpernick's Restaurant and Deli in Leawood.
Maybe writer David Sax could have helped. He's the author of Save the Deli: In Search of Perfect Pastrami, Crusty Rye, and The Heart of The Jewish Delicatessen, an ode to Jewish food and a culinary tour of delis across North America slated to come out on October 19. He's also launched a companion blog that attempts to encapsulate the mix of travelogue and food criticism that is interwoven throughout the book.
A thread on about the Midwest fails to offer up a single corned beef recommendation in Kansas City. Is that an oversight or just a sad commentary on the corned beef state of affairs in this burg?
At times, finding the traditional stalwarts of a Jewish deli can seem difficult -- it's as though a stellar menu has been torn to pieces and scattered throughout town. The finest knishes might be at You Say Tomato, while the best matzo ball soup is still likely found at d'Bronx. The best Reuben makes for a great bar argument, while half-sour pickles are apparently only available to the home canning set.
So take notice, sliced meat enthusiasts. Any book that has its release party at a delicatessen is one worth a look.

Great Googles!
These googles work wonderfully for us! They fit my 9 year old and my 12 year old!

Love them
I have a very small head (I'm an adult woman), to the point it is very difficult finding sunglasses that fit me that don't have mickey mouse in the corner. This is the 5th or 6th pair of these goggles I've purchased (swim 2-3 times per week, triathlon training, purchased my first pair over 3 years ago). 1 has worn out, I've lost a couple, & now have extras lying around my workout bags since love these. They fit great and work well! Great about not fogging too... with a little spit help. ;)
Berrien Springs, MI
My 6 year old daughter is a competitive swimmer and currently uses TYR flexframe. On occasion, she uses and evaluates three new performance youth goggles (TYR, Speedo, and Engine) for the inevitable transition from TYR flexframe. It will be a year long evaluation based on durability, quality, and fit. So far, Jr. Vanquisher has the best overall fit and view through the lens. Engine lens seem to create vision problems underwater and TYR doesn't seem to fit properly. In 10 months, she will make her final goggle selection for the 2015 swim season. She maintains six goggles (two for daily day/night practice, two for swim meets only, and two new ones as back-up).

Too small
My daughter is 6 years old and these goggles were too small and therefore leaked a lot. In hindsight I would have not bought her the Junior version. My son is 10 and has the Speedo Vanquisher goggle and they fit her just fine.

Great goggles!
Being a swim coach, I see a lot of goggles and goggle issues with my swimmers. The nice thing about these goggles is that if the strap breaks, you can still use them by putting a bungee cord on them. My daughter prefers the bungee straps. The bad thing about these goggles is that the nose piece can break after a while. Sometimes only the replaceable nose piece breaks, but other times it is the connection part that breaks. But overall, these goggle fit well and work great. They are my daughter's favorite goggles.

Great for meets
My son wears these for his meets but prefers another pair for practice. These are adjustable by a removable nose piece, but be careful not to break the piece or where they snap in. Once they fit right then they stay in place and only fog up a tad bit. This is remedied by licking the inside of the eyepiece or you can purchase a chemical spray (which I don't recommend). My son, 11, says these feel like they don't have much drag in the water which is why he prefers them for meets. We've tried a wide range of brands and styles before he decided these are the best.
Rolla, MO
Great kids goggles!
These are perfect for kids even my youngest can put them on by him self. All my kids wear this style from ages 4-9.
Sherrill, NY
Purchased for son
My son used these for his first triathlon and they performed great.
the best
Since the first day my son (11) wore them he told me they were the best goggles he ever had! No water comes in, they fit perfectly on his face, no pressure rims after, no puffy eyes. He is happy, I am happy :-)
Everyday favorites
My 9year old son wears these goggles everyday for practice. These are his first pick for comfort.
Teaneck, NJ
Quality Goggles
This is a much better Speedo brand goggles then the ones you buy at Target. Better contour to the eyes and the strap hold them in place very well. Easy to adjust.

These are the One for our swimmer
We have tried every goggle we can get our hands on for our child swimmer and these are the only pair she has asked us to replace. she says they fit well and that's the ticket with her. She still has some fogging issues, but states its not as bad as some other goggles she has tried.

Great goggles!
My five year old daughter loves these goggles. They are great for outdoor swimming. I highly recommend them.

Goggles adjust easily to fit child's face and then actually stay in place! First goggles we've found that keep water out. Very pleased.

Salem, VA
Great Product
I've only heard good things about these goggles. So far, they have worked perfectly!
Worst goggle EVER!!!!
My 9-year old daughter has gone through no less than 6-7 pair of Vanquishers in the last 5 months. When they work - they are great... until the rubber splits and separates from the plastic eyepiece. Some of her goggles have lasted as long as 2 months - others as long as 2 practices. Mirrored, non-mirrored, solid, tye-dye... no matter. This is a HUGE problem! She was fitted, put the appropriate-sized nose piece on them, keeps them protected when not in use - and still the rubber splits. I DO NOT recommend these goggles unless you are prepared with backups on demand and don't mind shelling out the money for new goggles with some frequency.

A domestic. Despite the shorthand, Officer Brad Jerome of the Bismarck (N.D.) Police Department knew such calls usually portended something decidedly undomestic, and the fact that this one was in a trailer park on the eastern part of town only raised the odds.
The duo approached the house where they found the front door standing half-way open. The two officers stepped across the threshold and into the living room, and they picked up sight of a male adult darting toward the back of the house.

text: SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) Hi everyone: I am so tired of people on SDN bashing optometry and saying alllll sorts of things. I am shadowing a optometrist at a location near costco who is doing great, 100k+ salary a year, seeing about 10-11 patients a day. He referred me to a private practitioner who graduated opt school in 2002. He worked for lenscrafters from 2002-2006 and opened his own practice in 2006. IT IS DOING GREAT, THE BUILDING IS BRAND NEW AND HE HAS 5-6 STAFF and sees around 22 patientsa day!!! He said if you run it the right way you will make 160k+, please everyone dont listen to people on here and be discouraged. This private practice is on the same road as lenscrafters, pearl vision, and a walmart center, and he is still doing great. No one change your dreams just because of people on this website who have nothing better to do!

On May 27, Zacks Investment Research upgraded
Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation
) to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Why the Upgrade?
Smith & Wesson has been reporting strong financial results
and surpassing our estimates for the last 11 quarters. The company
ended the third quarter of fiscal 2014 with earnings of 35 cents
per share which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 29 cents
by 20.7%.
The company's total revenues in the quarter increased 7.1% year
over year, mainly due to a 29.9% year-over-year increase in handgun
The company is focused on the development of new products. In
January this year, Smith & Wesson launched a new revolver in
the SHOT Show, which was well received by its customers. The
company expects to receive solid orders for its
California-compliant version of M&P SHIELD and SDVE polymer
pistols in the future.
These products are expected to offset the impact of those
M&P pistol models that will not stay on the Roster. Both the
M&P Shield and the SDVE pistols are projected to remain on the
California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale as long as no
changes are made to those models. The company for that very reason
does not plan to make any changes.
Smith & Wesson maintains a sound balance sheet. The company
had around $45.3 million in cash and cash equivalents (including
restricted cash) at the end of the last reported quarter.
Management has also shared the benefits with its shareholders
through systematic buybacks. From Dec 2012 to Jan 2014 the company
repurchased $135 million of its common stock. Recently, the
company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of $30.0
million shares of its common stock.
