French anti-counterfeiting group Unifab criticized remarks about counterfeiting made by Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) co-founder Jack Ma.
Ma's recent attention, apart from the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into some of the company's accounting practices, has been focused on investing in French wine production.
What should you expect from Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) investor day that begins late Monday?
Perhaps more on the company's businesses that are not part of consolidated results, including Cainiao Network.
The value of SoftBank's sale of Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) shares is $8.9 billion, higher than the minimum $7.9 billion initially revealed, according to comments released overnight by the two sides.
But they soft pedaled on the significance of the sale, with SoftBank saying it has debt obligations and both sides emphasizing joint tech investments in China and India.
Moody's Investors Services said Friday that while it's too early to determine any consequences of the Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation into Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) practices, the company has plenty of cash to weather a storm.
Moody's also explains what could happen if accounting violations are established.
Alibaba has provided revenue and profitability details for its Cainiao Network, which is not part of consolidated results, and insists it seeks transparency and will address the Securities and Exchange Commission requests for information unveiled Wednesday.
Analysts who spoke to Barron's in February touched on the heart of the matter.
Shares of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding (BABA)are rising a day after the stock plunged on news of a U.S. investigation into some of its accounting practices.
Evercore analysts looked at the treatment of Alibaba's 47% ownership in Alibaba's Cainiao Network logistics operation, and still think the stock has roughly 25% upside.
Shares of Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) were down 8% in Wednesday afternoon trading after the Chinese online retail giant revealed it is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for possible accounting violations.
Barron's recently highlighted U.S. accounting restrictions as a reason Alibaba would likely hold offerings in Asia.
Shares of Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) are up 4.5% this morning, tempering earlier gains, after the Chinese e-commerce giant reported results that were better than expected.
For the fiscal second quarter ended in September, the company reported a 32% rise in revenue; analysts projected a revenue rise of 25% to $3.3 billion, according to S&P Capital IQ via The Wall Street Journal. Profit surged to $3.57 billion, or $1.40 a share, thanks to a $2.93 billion gain from the revaluation of a stake in Alibaba Health Information Technology. Without the one-time gain — despite a nice boost in mobile gadget sales – profit would have been shy of the $762 million in net profit projected by analysts, WSJ reports.
Analyst Rob Sanderson at MKMPartners noted that the Alibaba stock short interest — investors betting on a decline in the share price — was relatively high through September at 75 million shares sold short, representing a 40% quarter over quarter increase. The stock is trading near $79.78; Sanderson, who sees upside to his $85 price target, wrote Monday:
"Currency devaluation and mid-quarter commentary by management is not fully reflected in consensus GMV growth assumptions. We think that mobile take-rate will surprise to the upside either this quarter or next as the company becomes more focused on monetization improvements. There is significant earnings leverage in the model as mobile take-rates ramp. We recommend investors take advantage of China macro controversy to build or add to positions."
Earlier this month, Alibaba offered to buy the four-fifths of online video site Youku Tudou (YOKU) that it doesn't already own for $4.6 billion.
Barron's was skeptical about the stock in its recent cover story "Alibaba: Why It Could Fall 50% Further." In the story, author Jon Laing wrote that Alibaba's stock valuation of 25 times should be closer to eBay's (EBAY) multiple of 15, and that competition from Chinese e-commerce rivals like JD.com (JD) continues to heat up. Barron's responded to criticism with a follow-up on the piece: "Alibaba Objects, but We Stand By Our Cover Story" (subscription required.)

A few headlines in the developing world today with the iShares MSCI Emerging Market ETF (EEM) down 0.7% at the open:
The ruling party in Russia crushed local elections, winning 21 governor positions and all local legislatures, according to U.S. News & World Report. The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) was up in early trading.
In Turkey, as political tensions heat up in advance of a second round of elections this year, on November 1, the Turkish lira fell to a record low on Monday at 3.067 to the dollar and Turkish credit default swaps, which are investors buy as a hedge against default and market sell-offs, climbed to their highest since January 2012, Reuters reports. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) was down nearly 2% at the open.
Turkey's official news outlet, Anadolu Agency, pointed to the exit of foreign investors, and cited a Bank of International Settlements report that says "tremors" were appearing along "major fault lines" in the global economy. The report cited the emerging market impact of slowed demand from China, and the strong dollar; the latter resulting in a higher cost for repayment of dollar-denominated debt with local currency, according to the Anadolu news agency summary.
Mexicans were among 12 tourists mistakenly killed by Egyptian security forces. The BBC reports at least a dozen more people, Mexicans and Egypytians, were injured when four vehicles entered a restricted area in the Western desert.
The Barron's magazine cover story, "Alibaba: Why It Could Fall 50% Further," is making waves: Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) fell 3% pre-market in U.S. trading and was down 2.5% at the open of trading. One of colleague Jonathan Laing's central claims is that as growth slows in China, and consumers feel the pressure, online purchases will falter and that will continue to hurt Alibaba's profits and its stock. Alibaba said in a rebuttal that the article contains inaccuracies.

A few headlines in the emerging world today, for investors:
CHINA: Unilever hopes to boost sales in rural China with an expanded relationship with online marketplace Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA), Reuters reports. Shares of Alibaba are down by 0.4% this morning, while shares of Unilever (UN) are flat in U.S. trading. Shares of Hindustan Unilever (500696.India) fell 1.3% Monday. Also today: the Asia Society is promoting fair trade in Asia. See our post, "India: Disadvantaged In "Divisive" Asia Trade Agenda?
GREECE: Greek banks reopened Monday with restrictions: depositors are limited to the same €420 weekly limit, but now can take it all in one day. The BBC reports "Greece began making a €4.2 billion ($4.5 billion) payment due to the European Central Bank on Monday, as well as a €2.05 billion payment due to the International Monetary Fund." One Greek man told the BBC that small businesses don't have enough money to pay suppliers, which eventually means running out of products to sell. See our post, "Greece Will Exit The Eurozone?" The Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (GREK) is down 1.5% this morning.
CUBA: The Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund (CUBA), a closed-end fund focused on the eventual lifting of U.S. economic restrictions on Cuba, is up 2.5% today as the U.S. reopened its embassy in Washington, D.C. See my latest column, "Cuba's Investing Opportunities" in Barron's magazine (subscription required). I quote Jason Marczak, deputy director of the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center at the Atlantic Council, who says data transparency and unification of Cuba's two-currency system are what's needed to jump-start foreign investing and economic expansion. The CUBA fund, as we have mentioned, is trading at a significant premium to its net asset value. See "Is Big Cuba Play Overvalued?"
Among other active country funds this morning: The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) is down 4%, the Market Vectors ChinaAMC A-Share ETF (PEK) is down more than 2% and the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) is down 1.3%

Just the Right Mix of Joy and Exhaustion
Good news — hiking season has officially started here in the Sangria household.
Nothing kicks off hiking season quite like a grueling climb up the Incline. I made it up in 76 minutes this morning, which isn't a stellar time, but it's not bad, either, all things considered. I set goals for myself about how often I would stop to rest and who among the other hikers on the trail I would beat to the top (my competitive nature is sometimes the only thing that keeps me trekking up the mountain), and I'm proud to say I met and/or exceeded all of those goals.
Given it was the first hike of the season, I'm pleased with how well I did. I'm going to have to kick it up a notch and get my hiking muscles back into shape, though, because Tim and I have decided to summit another fourteener this summer. I haven't forgotten how much pain is involved in such a task, but I'm still really excited. That feeling of accomplishment upon setting foot at the summit just can't be beat.
One hike in, and I'm already feeling like it's going to be a damn good hiking season. I can't wait.

Presently there are a number of processes associated with molding plastic-type material to enhance it straight into useable designs. Each and every scientific injection molding process has it is own positive aspects and calls for specific experience and expertise to implement. While the particular injection process is usually one associated with the many widely utilized, other techniques include:
- Injection
- Blow
- Compression
- Extrusion
- Transfer
But what is injection molding? This is usually a excessive production course of action of generating a great variety involving thermoplastic elements into designs ranging through fairly straightforward to pretty complex. These molds are raised on with absorbed plastic substance that is usually forced underneath high force through a plastic injection molding machine, which usually feeds the runner technique, then by means of a entrance into the actual cavity. Typically the material is actually then chilled to typically the point which the materials is sturdy and and then ejected through the mildew as the finished aspect. Specific elements could also become molded after a number of modifications for you to the common molding machine tend to be affected.
Blow molding is actually used in order to create empty plastic materials such since bottles along with jars within large volumes. This method begins together with melting straight down the plastic material and creating it directly into a preform. This is the tube-like part of plastic-type material with any hole within one conclusion in which often compressed atmosphere can complete through. The actual parison will be then clamped into any mould as well as air will be pumped straight into it. The particular air force then forces the plastic-type material out for you to match the particular mould. As soon as the plastic material has cooled off and made hardened the mold opens upward and the actual part is usually ejected.
Compression molding is actually the initial technique created in the particular early 1900s. It is actually used right now to method many versions of thermoset plastic materials as well as composites which include epoxy, phenolic, melamine, along with diallyl phthalate. This molding gives itself to be able to relatively easy parts, however since generally there are zero sprues or entrances through which usually the substance must circulation, the stuff can become heavily packed with any composite associated with fillers and also reinforcements which continue being in some sort of random positioning in the actual molded component resulting within superior durability properties. The injection molding cost is reduced.
Extrusion molding is some sort of manufacturing method used in order to make plumbing, hoses, and the like. Typically the granules burn into the liquid which often is compelled through any die, creating lengthy 'tube-like' forms.
Transfer molding is actually another approach for molding elements where the particular form associated with the aspect is way too hard-pressed or maybe unsuitable regarding compression molding. Transfer molds are generally applied in studs, metal inserts, studs, electric components or even other areas are molded into typically the part.

A brilliant foodie day out in a beautiful setting
The Barnes Food Fair is a hidden gem. A lovely one day food fair featuring great producers in a grand marquee, and an outdoor street-food and picnic area with live music all day, plus fantastic events featuring some of Britain's top chefs.
Last year we had a pop-up restaurant run by 2 Michelin starred Phil Howard and our Cookery Theatre featured a demonstration by Brett Graham whose two Michelin star restaurant The Ledbury is ranked in the World's Top 20.
And if all this wasn't enough the Fair is held in the gloriously bucolic surroundings of Barnes – on the village green next to the duck pond. Watch this space for details of the 2016 Fair.
The fair raises money for local charities
Since 2011 the Fair has raised many thousands of pounds for local charities including Age UK's local pensioner's centre, Barnes Methodist Church's winter shelter for the homeless and the Barnes Community Association.
This year we're raising funds for Home-Start which helps families with young children deal with whatever life throws at them.
The Fair is organised by the Barnes Community Association, and apart from one part-time organiser all other work on the fair is carried out by volunteers. We raise funds from sponsorship, stall charges and ticket sales. All profits are donated to charity.
Some amazing chefs have helped make it very special
We've been incredibly lucky to have received the support of some amazing chefs over the past few years. Phil Howard who runs the two-Michelin-starred restaurant The Square has been a stalwart supporter demonstrating in our Cookery Theatre since the start, and last year running a pop-up restaurant.
Other chefs who have taken part include Angela Hartnett, Atul Kochhar, Bruno Loubet, Rowley Leigh, Theo Randall and The Helmsley sisters.
Since launch our cookery theatre has been compered by food writer, TV presenter and Masterchef judge William Sitwell.

Bon Secours Health System provides succor to the
sick and injured. The Roman Catholic health care organization,
sponsored by the Bon Secours Ministries, is home to about
20 hospitals with some 4,400 licensed acute care beds. First
founded in 1919, the organization's facilities are in six states in
the eastern US, from New York to Florida. In addition to its acute
care hospitals, the not-for-profit health care system operates
a psychiatric hospital, numerous nursing homes
and assisted-living facilities, as well as hospices and home
health care agencies. Its Global Ministry Initiative provides
outreach for health care and social services in developing
countries, particularly Haiti, Peru, and South Africa.
Geographic Reach
Headquartered in Marriottsville, Maryland, the system has
hospitals in Kentucky, Maryland, New York, South Carolina, and
Virginia and long-term care facilities in Florida, New York, and
Sales and Marketing
In fiscal 2014 (ended August), Medicare and Medicaid payments
accounted for 35% of total net patient revenue.
Financial Performance
Revenue increased 3% to $3.5 billion in fiscal 2014 (ended
August) as net patient service revenues increased. Despite that
growth, higher operating costs led to a decline in net income,
which fell 57% to $143.5 million.
Cash flow from operations slipped 6% to $190.4 million that year
as a result of the lower net income, as well as a change in working
Bon Secours plans to continue to grow its operations in existing
and new communities, targeting expansion in ambulatory care,
elderly services, and home health and hospice. The health system
has opened several new ambulatory care centers in existing
service territories and it is conducting renovation
and expansion efforts at some of its hospital facilities.
Bon Secours has also initiated information technology
restructuring efforts; it has developed a new clinical
information management system (electronic medical records),
ConnectCare, which is being implemented at its facilities in
gradual stages.

President Barack Obama's decision not to release photographs of Osama bin Laden's corpse has been justified in practical terms, as well as in terms of military honor. "It is very important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence [or] as a propaganda tool," the president stated. "That's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies." According to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the decision was made in consultation with allies in the Middle East.
Arguments raised in favor of release have covered a broad political spectrum. Sarah Palin, apparently nostalgic for the days when the heads of fallen adversaries were put up on pikes, tweeted: "Show photo as warning to others seeking America's destruction." Others have argued that in a democracy the presumption should be in favor of public access to records, even those involving blood and gore. Comedian Jon Stewart argued that images that show the horrors of war should not be censored, because that leads to a sanitization of warfare–an argument widely made by pacifists like Erich Maria Remarque at the end of World War I.
While the discussion has focused on the morgue-style photographs of bin Laden's body, probably taken in conjunction with the pathological examination in Bagram, there is a considerably larger quantity of materials pertaining to the raid. The White House in fact released an amazing still of the president's national security team watching a projection screen as the raid went down. Some tabloids quickly claimed that the president was watching bin Laden's death in real time. CIA Director Leon Panetta discouraged this take, telling PBS that "Once those teams went into the compound, I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes that we really didn't know just exactly what was going on." Whatever images were captured and transmitted, it's clear that the raid team was outfitted with equipment that allowed what Counter-Terrorism Advisor John Brennan called "real-time visibility into the progress of the operation."
This is not a unique occurrence. Recordings from special forces missions are apparently used for training purposes after the fact, allowing trainers to review and critique performances against established protocols. But military commanders are anxious that such recordings can be used to second-guess the performance of the SEALs on the mission and potentially to argue that lethal force was improperly used (an argument now made most aggressively by Berkeley law professor and torture memo writer John Yoo). This has led to a strong desire not to acknowledge the existence of such recordings, or not to give them up. These concerns are reasonable, but the audio and video of the Abbottabad raid are unique and extremely important historical records. They should be treated as such.
Obama's statement that release of the photos might be viewed as "trophies" focuses concerns properly. From ancient times, rules against the humiliating or degrading treatment of the body of a fallen adversary have belonged to the core of the warrior code. This reflects the values of those who fight as well as the concern that mistreatment would inspire acts of retaliation, propelling warfare into steadily more brutal and inhumane spirals. Obama's decision to withhold the photographs of bin Laden's corpse on these grounds is not required by the laws of war, but it is reasonable.
This debate should not be a question of yes or no, but rather when and how. It is simply incorrect to say that the only interest in release of the photographs and film of the bin Laden raid is lurid. In a democracy we should work from a presumption that records should be faithfully preserved and that the people should at some point have a right to see them. There may be reasonable safety or security concerns, but it is unlikely that those concerns would run longer than a generation. If U.S. government personnel have reasonable concerns about anonymity, these can be addressed by digitizing faces or other identifying features. The Abbottabad raid was a significant historical event, and it is important that it be objectively and properly chronicled. Accounts furnished in the heat of the original events are often riddled with inaccuracies–as the numerous misstatements of John Brennan, embarrassingly withdrawn within hours of the events, well demonstrate. A more objective, detached portrait can come with time, and those who prepare it will find in these materials an indispensable record, in most respects more reliable than the memories of the participants.
This points to the logical middle ground in the debate about the photographs and tapes. There is no reason why they need to be made public today, this month, or even this year. But the materials should be preserved carefully and passed to an archive. In good time they should be available to those who chronicle these events, so they can do so with a keen and impartial eye. The death of bin Laden marks the end of an era. This should not be marked with lies and secrecy; it should be marked with a strengthened commitment to acknowledge the truth, unpleasant as it may be in certain details. The passage of some time may be necessary, but in the end a democracy is nourished, not demoralized, when it looks the truth unflinchingly in the face.

From the April 2015 issue
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

CHARLOTTESVILLE - The Virginia men's and women's track and field teams travel to University Park, Pa., this weekend for the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup. The event is Saturday at the Ashenfelter III Indoor Track on the campus of Penn State. The meet begins at 9 a.m. with the women's pentathlon, followed by other events beginning at 12 p.m.
The meet features the men's and women's teams from Binghamton, Buffalo, Cornell, Liberty, Lock Haven, Penn, Penn State, Princeton, South Florida, UNC-Wilmington and Virginia, along with the men's team from Connecticut and the women's teams from Jacksonville and James Madison.
The Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup is the first meet of the season for the full Cavalier team. Two weeks ago, Virginia had a group comprised of mostly sprinters and jumpers compete at the Terrapin Invitational, where the Cavaliers won four events. Virginia won both 600m races, with junior Natalia Kuhn (Virginia Beach, Va.) taking the women's race in a time of 1:35.88, and sophomore Payton Hazzard (Huntington, N.Y.) winning the men's race in a time of 1:12.07. The Cavaliers also swept the triple jump titles, with sophomore Ryan Satchell (Central Islip, N.Y.) winning the men's triple jump with an indoor personal best of 15.04m, and senior Dallas Rose(Pearland, Texas) winning the women's triple jump at 12.47m.
Next weekend the Cavaliers will split up for two meets, the Virginia Tech Elite Meet (Feb. 8-9) in Blacksburg, and Husky Classic (Feb. 8-9) in Seattle, Wash.

It's the closest you're gonna get to being a real pony.
Ohhhhh I just wanna pinch your squishy little cheeks and poke you in the hippo belly!
Snuggling this s'more won't make you all sticky and stain your clothes.
Little Zombie Bob is the rabid younger brother of Zombie Patch. After blowing up half of Monsterville a year ago, Bob went incognito as a Human--until he bit off his neighbor's head, and was chased out of town.
There's still plenty of brisk weather to contend with through the spring, take advantage of chilly winds to look like Princess Leia!
Someday I'll have a super girly all pink room full of frilly, plushy, sweet things like these pink pillows.

Here, guided by Jim Wilson's researches into Scottish genetic history, he (Alistair Moffat) tackles on the of the biggest stories possible: linking up the story of the earliest Scots to the earliest men... He is wonderfully able to communicate the epic elements of the story which matters because that's precisely what man's survival has been' - David Robinson, The Scotsman I've been enjoyably immersed in it since it arrived on my doorstep last week...wonderfully readable. This is no dry, academic account, but it's the most fascinating and thought-provoking treatment of interlocking aspects of our early history I've yet to read. I recommend it whole-heartedly' - Colin Will, poet and publisher Alistair Moffat explores the history of where we all came from, with the help of new DNA science' - BBC Radio Scotland In The Scots: A Genetic Journey, historian and broadcaster Alistair Moffat taps into the latest advances in DNA science to find that our origins lie not only deep in the mists of time, but right off the map... with the help of historical geneticist Jim Wilson, he finds that, post-Ice Age, Scotland's earliest settlers walked here from what is now Spain' - Jim Gilchrist, Scotsman In The Scots: A Genetic Journey, Alistair Moffat and James F. Wilson explore the history that is printed in our genes, and in a remarkable new approach come to some fascinating conclusions about who we are and where we came from' - The Orcadian The fusion of science and the physical history like an abandoned croft allows people to trace their Scots ancestry with precision' - Sunday Herald The Scots: A Genetic Journey, a book and radio series based on Moffat and Wilson's research, concludes that all Scots are immigrants by descent. Britain as a whole is a mongrel nation' - Julian Baggini Skillfully written, weaving together genetics, archaeology, history, and topics of interest like red hair - James Honeychuck on Amazon History has always mattered to Scots, and rarely more so than now at the outset of a new century, with a new census appearing in 2011 and after more than ten years of a new parliament. An almost limitless archive of our history lies hidden inside our bodies and we carry the ancient story of Scotland around with us. The mushrooming of genetic studies, of DNA analysis, is rewriting our history in spectacular fashion. In The Scots: A Genetic Journey, Alistair Moffat explores the history that is printed on our genes, and in a remarkable new approach, uncovers the detail of where we are from, who we are and in so doing colour vividly a DNA map of Scotland.

PRESCRIBED FOR: Digoxin is used for treating adults with mild to moderate congestive heart failure and for treating an atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm. It is also used for increasing myocardial contractility in pediatric patients with heart failure.
SIDE EFFECTS: Common side effects include:
Many digoxin side effects are dose dependent and happen when blood levels are over the narrow therapeutic range. Therefore, digoxin side effects can be avoided by keeping blood levels within the therapeutic level. Serious side effects associated with digoxin include:
- heart block,
- rapid heartbeat, and
- slow heart rate.
Digoxin has also been associated with visual disturbance (blurred or yellow vision), abdominal pain, and breast enlargement. Patients with low blood potassium levels can develop digoxin toxicity even when digoxin levels are not considered elevated. Similarly, high calcium and low magnesium blood levels can increase digoxin toxicity and produce serious disturbances in heart rhythm.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 0.0625, 0.125, 0.1875, and 0.25 mg; Elixir: 0.05. Injectable Solution: 0.1 and 0.25 mg/ml.
STORAGE: Digoxin should be stored at room temperature, 15 C and 30 C) (59 F and 86 F) and protected from light.
DOSING: Digoxin may be taken with or without food. Digoxin is primarily eliminated by the kidneys; therefore, the dose of digoxin should be reduced in patients with kidney dysfunction. Digoxin blood levels are used for adjusting doses in order to avoid toxicity. The usual starting dose is 0.0625-0.25 mg daily depending on age and kidney function. The dose may be increased every two weeks to achieve the desired response. The usual maintenance dose is 0.125 to 0.5 mg per day.

Who Says Hollywood Is Out of Ideas?
Fox has just bought a pitch for Bleached, a script that is about a chubby four-year-old who falls overboard during a family vacation, is raised by whales and becomes an Olympic swimmer. Just goes to show that there are still lots of fresh, brilliant sounding ideas out there for new movies and that Hollywood is still a place to take chances on innovative plots with compelling characters. This movie sounds like it has everything: chubby four-year-olds, whales and the Olympics. Can't wait for the inevitable scene where the whale-raised Olympian's cruel rival gets finally gets what he deserved by being pushed into the pool. Is it too early to book tickets for the midnight showing? ...

the thing that is bad about this script is randomness, and that it is unrealistic. But both of those factors are only bad if the story is supposed to be realistic, and isn't. They can be good factors in a whimsical or fantastical story.
Starring Jack Black and "Mimi" the whale as herself.

From the Inside Flap
When talk turns to architects who have made their mark in the San Francisco Bay Area, it often stops after two names-Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan. Widely admired, they are the stuff of legend. Maybeck and Morgan did much to create what we call Bay Area architecture. But they didn't do it alone. The fifteen architects profiled in this book were chosen not because they are the best the area has produced, though several are, but because their stories, taken together, provide a solid history of Bay Area residential architecture.
But is there such a thing as Bay Area architecture? Many people say no. Historians have been arguing for years about something called the "Bay Tradition" or "Bay Region Style." The term Bay Regional Style was invented in the late 1940s and refers to several things-the idiosyncrasies of Maybeck; the wit of Ernest Coxhead; the influence of farm houses, barns, and adobes; the influence of Mission Revival; and modern homes that soften the International style by building in redwood and admitting regional influences like Maybeck and Morgan or touches of Japan.
Dave Weinstein offers a detailed look at the Bay Area's master architects. From Frank Wolfe's idiosyncratic mix of details and foolhardy arrangement of windows, chimneys, rooflines and gables to Jack Hillmer's expressive use of natural woodwork and rigorous geometric designs to Ace Architect's playful style allied with post-modernism that deliberately recalls Bay Tradition architects from years past, this fascinating volume offers a rare glimpse of the talented architects who shaped the area.
Dave Weinstein is a long-time Bay Area writer and journalist who has been profiling architects for the San Francisco Chronicle for three years, and writes about modern architects for CA Modern-the Eichler Network magazine and Web site. Dave also writes about historic preservation, the environment, history, and diverse issues for many Bay Area and national publications. A native of Long Island, Dave studied art history at Columbia University and journalism at the University of California, Berkeley. He's an avid hiker and dog-walker, and a dedicated preservationist who initiated the successful effort to preserve the Cerrito Theater, an Art Deco theater in his hometown of El Cerrito, California.
About the Author
Dave Weinstein, a native of Long Island, New York, received his undergraduate degree in art history at Columbia University in 1973, and then studied journalism at UC Berkeley. He has lived in the Bay Area for thirty years, and spent twenty years as a reporter and editor for daily newspapers. Dave has written two books, Signature Architects of the San Francisco Bay Area, and the text for a photo book Berkeley Rocks. He writes for the magazine CA Modern, and for four years has been writing a popular series of architect profiles for the San Francisco Chronicle.
Linda Svendsen, a graduate of Music and Art High School and Parsons School of Design in New York, has been a renowned photographer for more than thirty years. Her work is showcased in numerous magazines and books; she is the author of Bicycle: Around the World.

When the stock market is range-bound, and the conversational framework grows repetitive, a line from a Violent Femmes song always comes to mind: "Third verse, same as the first."
Here, at the end of the third-quarter earnings season, market action is about the same as it was in the first. Nothing has really changed, and nothing will change until it's clear the U.S. economy won't go over the fiscal cliff.
The market's big issues are still big issues. Corporate sales growth remains a big concern, as does a global economic slowdown. The sameness should help agitated investors calm down and ignore the noise, which is to say information without any economic value. They can rest easier knowing the market is in a similarly coiled resting state–waiting for the cliff to be scaled.
Investors are still buying stocks, looking for event-driven opportunities and dividends. This is why correlation, which measures the propensity of all stocks to move together, is muted despite the fiscal cliff.
Many investors are hedging portfolios in case Washington fails to compromise on tax hikes and spending cuts before Dec. 31, plunging the U.S. economy into recession.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index (VIX) remains below 20, a relatively sanguine level, so portfolio hedging is still relatively inexpensive.
The prudent action remains that of hedging your portfolio, should partisan Washington push the economy off the cliff and into recession. (See Barrons.com, Nov. 26, The Striking Price, "Stand Back from the Cliff.")
My colleague, Randall W. Forsyth, il miglior fabbro, recently advised readers that it would be a mistake to just forget about the cliff. (See Barrons.com, Nov. 28, Up and Down Wall Street Daily, "The Biggest Risk: Complacency Over Fiscal Cliff.") He's right. Hedge stock portfolios with options on SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust spy 0.16146145684365917% SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 217.12 0.35 0.16146145684365917% /Date(1469826000208-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 70117063 AFTER HOURS 217.41 0.29 0.13356669123065587% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9402373 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.9868128224023582% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (SPY), or even with VIX calls, to offset a sharp decline in the market should the cliff not be averted. Look at puts that would increase in value if the stock market fell 5% or 10% over the next one to three months. The same metric works for VIX calls.
Regardless of the fiscal cliff and the specter of rising dividend taxes, buy stocks that have reliable payouts. Dividends make up 45% of historical stock returns. Own those stocks in tax-advantaged accounts.
THE HOTTEST STORY ON WALL STREET is the trouble swirling around legendary hedge-fund manager Steve Cohen, and SAC Capital. Federal prosecutors are after him. One of his ex-traders, Mathew Martoma, was charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud. The SEC has told SAC that enforcement actions could be pending.
Beyond the prurient interest is something Cohen apparently said about Martoma, who made SAC $276 million trading two pharmaceutical stocks. Cohen allegedly called Martoma a "one-trick pony." (The federal complaint doesn't identify the author of the pony crack as Cohen, only as a hedge-fund officer and firm founder.)
The pony quip intrigues. Many investors, especially at hedge funds, have the same ideas about the same stocks. Consider Apple aapl -0.12459267778416715% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD104.21 -0.13 -0.12459267778416715% /Date(1469826000272-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26765342 AFTER HOURS USD104.25 0.04 0.03838403224258708% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 968346 P/E Ratio 12.174065420560748 Market Cap 562230109436.855 Dividend Yield 2.1878898378274636% Rev. per Employee 1991690 More quote details and news » (AAPL) or Qualcomm qcom 0.24026910139356078% Qualcomm Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD62.58 0.15 0.24026910139356078% /Date(1469826000421-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7655377 AFTER HOURS USD62.68 0.1 0.15979546180888463% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 635648 P/E Ratio 18.32772001757212 Market Cap 91999841919.4482 Dividend Yield 3.387663790348354% Rev. per Employee 691697 More quote details and news » (QCOM) or financials. Does filing into the same stocks and sectors indicate a herd of one-trick ponies?
Peter Lynch, a fabled mutual-fund manager, liked stocks that he thought could rise 10-fold over many years. Lynch's idea seems quaint if a one-trick pony can make a $9 million annual bonus.
Targeting investors, big and small, seems myopic as long as the game is fundamentally geared to reward quick, bold trades, and Washington seems more interested in taxing behaviors than developing a regulatory framework to keep the herd of ponies from running over ethical cliffs.
Third verse, same as the first.

Improved the looks of my 2500HD greatly. The only down fall with these covers are, there's not enough 3M tape on them to hold properly. I lost one in the first week and had to order another set, this time I put extra 3M tape on the middle part of the covers. They are holding great now and look fantastic.

AMY AND EMILY When Amy Ray and Emily Saliers play Eddie's, it's a big deal, and tonight and tomorrow are no exception. With a brand-new album on the way and a host of new projects, the duo is doing a two-night stand to benefit Janet McLaughlin and the Georgia Network To End Sexual Assault. The event sold out in minutes, but some patio seating may be available. Sold Out. 8 p.m. Eddie's Attic. 404-377-4976. www.eddiesattic.com. -- Lee Valentine Smith
BIRDMONSTER The San Francisco Bay Area has a great reputation for surly, washed-out barroom punks (think Jawbreaker and American Music Club's Mark Eitzel). Birdmonster's Peter Arcuni aspires to that tradition on his band's No Midnight, a rambling collection of songs unclassifiable by genre and defined by attitude. The group is supported by Charlotte band the Sammies and local group Dust Rabbit, the latter of which sticks to an instrumentals-only diet. $7. 9:30 p.m. The Earl. 404-522-3950. www.badearl.com. -- Mosi Reeves
BRUCE COCKBURN Calling Cockburn a cult figure is a bit of a misnomer; better to say his audience is very selective. One of the most prolific and socially conscious folkies of the late 20th century, his newest album delivers more of his subtle but powerful observations, this time with a heartfelt look at what's going on in Iraq. And America. $22.50. 8 p.m. Variety Playhouse. 404-524-7354. www.variety-playhouse.com. -- James Kelly
SPIRIT The UK's drum 'n' bass in the '90s was the sound of pre-millennium tensions. What would the future hold? Urban warfare or poignant tone poems? Unfortunately, our future of complete-nutrition pills, fluid-recycling all-terrain fabrics and celestial harmony went the way of soy lattes and SUVs. The Y2K bug wiping out the tenuous-at-best structure of our civilization might have been preferable (at least for MY credit). Boy, are we screwed. So there's never been a better time than the present to don your hoodie, some flood pants and enjoy some rolling bass, percolating beats, canine synths, feral strings and ominous space spooks. Locals supporting the bill include Double Nil, Sonar and Subliminal, plus Soundwave. $10; free for ladies. 10 p.m. The Mark. 678-904-0050. www.themarkatlanta.com. -- Tony Ware

But unless those steroids went to his brain, he can still deliver an amazing live show and rip through over a decade of hits, from "What's Next" to "I Love My Bitch." Atlanta crunk/R&B chanteuse Ciara will lighten the evening, but methinks you best leave the kids at home for this one. $58-$63. 7 p.m. Chastain Park Amphitheater. 404-233-2227. www.ticketmaster.com. -- MR

Research Institution:
AbstractThe proposed load-bearing, tank-applied, multi-layer insulation system consists of a set of highly reflective radiation shields made from 1 mil thick aluminized Mylar that is supported from a "pop-up tent like" support frame. In addition, the support frame carries the mass of an actively cooled shield and outer MLI blanket enabling ultra low heat leak storage of cryogenic fluids. The support frame is conveniently mounted to the top and bottom center tank penetrations, eliminating any direct supports to the cryogen tank itself, which reduces the heat leak to near the theoretical minimum. The novel design approach is significantly better than conventional MLI, which does not possess the required structural or thermal capabilities required. The technical approach is to integrate low-risk, high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) (TRL 7-9) components into a new and unique low-cost, light-weight, high-strength, thermally efficient MLI system. This approach enables the system to meet and exceed all requirements for reduced heat leak, low-mass, and high strength to withstand flight loads. The NASA Cryogenic Propellant Storage and Transfer Program will directly benefit from the development of the proposed MLI system.

The love I feel inside myself reveals itself through visuals that stem from a higher source. From this beauty of seeing, my paintbrush is guided through my talent. I enjoy expressing this gift. The spontaneous splash of color with water and the paint and the direction of a sensual line become a painting! Art has always been a part of my life beginning in my childhood when I won the small town grocery Easter Bunny coloring contest in Ralston, Nebraska. In my adult life, I knew I wanted to continue painting in watercolor after taking a class to update my teaching certificate at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I graduated with Special Honors at the University of Colorado at Denver. After studying and teaching in the Midwest for 15 years, I am fortunate to reside in the artistic mecca of Chapel Hill, NC. There, I have my home studio. I designed and teach four painting classes: Beginning Watercolor, Continuing Watercolor, Painting Florals, and The Masters. The ArtsCenter, The Cedars, and Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools and Dist. #25 in Pocatello, ID have been an honor to teach in. I love living and painting in the South where the flowers are so beautiful. My students are beautiful, too. I have taught painters from the ages of 8 to 80. I have a home studio in Pocatello, Idaho where I can paint the majestic mountains and the western nature. My originals are available at www.LorisArt.com My prints are available at lorisart.imagekind.com. When I am in my home studio I love watching the colors (watercolor, water-soluble oils) move together with water. I use professional watercolor paper or varied kinds of canvas depending on the medium of choice and subject I am painting. My sensual work reflects beauty.

A Straightener That Won't Ruin Your Curls
Photographed by Megan Long.
As a curly-haired person, it is both my pleasure and my responsibility to be the beauty team's guinea pig. I even let these ladies put me on a no-shampoo regimen for two weeks (and the results were eye-opening, in case you're wondering). This time, though, we took on a slightly more sensitive topic: turning curly hair straight.
Growing up around mostly blonde, Scandinavian types in Minnesota, I truly loathed my curly coiff from grade six through grade nine. So, I can understand why some people tend to react to curly hair gone straight with a pitying look — as if we are oppressed, our straight hair a sign of deeply ingrained societal prejudice. That might have been the case for me when I was frying my locks into oblivion through various treatments, but now, when I go straight, it's a choice with no less gravity than that of the many, many straight-haired girls who switch on a curling iron every morning. I actually love my hair now, so I don't do it often, but it's fun from time to time.
I was wary, then, when our beauty bosses approached me about trying a new product from Aveda that claims to make straightening hair easier, with increasing effects after each use. It was that latter part that got me. Would this stuff slowly but surely straighten my hair for good? If so, I wasn't interested. But, I later found out the stuff — Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight — effectively "stretches" hair, thus only keeping it straight while the product is still there and returning locks to natural curliness after it's washed out. (And, after five consecutive days of applying after washing, it should stay in for three days.)
I've learned the hard way that no product can make my hair air-dry straight. So, I was actually encouraged that Aveda didn't make such claims. Smooth Infusion is intended to reduce frizz and slightly relax curls when air-dried. It's also supposed to make straightening and blowing out quicker, more manageable, and more lasting — always a plus if your locks are like mine and are easily damaged from heat styling.
I went in one morning at the ungodly hour of 9 a.m. to have the process done by a pro — blowout included, courtesy of Aveda global artistic director for haircutting Ricardo Dinis. (Yes, that's a real job title, and yes, it's awesome.) The most important thing to know, he said, is that you must apply the product very evenly and comb it through from root to tip for maximum "stretching," which I found relatively easy to replicate at home.
Less easy to manage with my mediocre skills was his incredible blowout. The honest truth is, for a novice like me, this product isn't going to make blowing out and straightening that much less challenging. (After all, it doesn't help you grow eyes in the back of your head.) But, at the salon, I definitely noticed less pulling, and the whole process (from shampoo to finish) took about 15 to 20 minutes less than I've normally experienced. The blowout also lasted without developing a single kink near the roots (normally impossible for me) for two very humid days. I also observed a more "natural" appearance to my straightened hair instead of the usual stiff, frayed, clearly over-styled look I normally end up with.
The real benefit I found from this product, oddly enough, came when I let my hair air-dry curly. The result had all the volume I love about summer weather with none of the frizz, and I actually got a lot of compliments. Most products will make my fine hair greasy very quickly, which is why I eventually had to give up on Devachan's curl-enhancing foam (unless I was willing to use a diffuser every day, which I'm not). But, over my week or so of consistent use of the Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight, I didn't get that side effect once. And, as promised, I found the results just got better after a few days of use.
Maybe it's counterintuitive that the biggest benefit from a product called Naturally Straight is bouncier, shinier, all-around-better curls. But, that was honestly my take on it — and I was both surprised and quite pleased.
Aveda Smooth Infusion Naturally Straight, $26, available at Aveda.
