How long to Barbs live?
What's thier lifespan? I have some Neon Rosey Barbs that have started to die off. I lost one last week to no apparent reason. I had to take one out of the tank this morning since he was breathing hard and just laying on the bottom of the tank, later he died. None of the other fish in the tank are sick nor are there any marks like the rams got to him. They tend to keep to themselves anyway. The barbs do seem to be loosing some of the color on a few of their scales. I've had these barbs for about 2 years and they were almost full grown when I got them. All of the water parameters are in the same range they have been for the past year.
It is possible that they are dying of old age, given that they were full size when purchased and you've had them for 2 years. Rosey Barbs should live upwards of 5 to 7 years, depending on tank size and care. Factors determining captive lifespan are highly dependent on tank size and diet, with Rosey Barbs probably requiring a 75 gallon aquarium at minimum for long term care.
I sorta forget but i thing i use to have a barb.i think it lived 3 years.

Watchfire Buys Web App Security Pioneer
The company's acquisition of Sanctum may serve as a milestone in the Web application security market.Sanctum Inc., one of the pioneers of the Web application security market, was acquired Monday by enterprise software provider Watchfire Inc. The companies are not detailing the financial terms of the transaction. Sanctum had been the subject of acquisition rumors for more than a year, with many industry observers suggesting that Microsoft Corp. or any of a number of security companies would be a good fit.
The acquisition may serve as a milestone marking the end of the beginning for Web application security. Sanctum helped define both the term and the sector in 1999 when it introduced its AppShield application firewall, which was the first product of its kind. It took some time for enterprises to warm up to the idea of buying a separate firewall to protect their Web applications, but the emergence of sophisticated attacks targeting those applications helped the product gain a foothold.

A good few years ago TV program, don't know if it was one from PBS or
Disney, covered this subject. If the mother cat catches mice, snakes,
etc. and brings them back to the kittens, the kittens will be good mousers.
Cats that are raised with no opportunity to observe the adult, are never as
good. Interesting. The program also illustrated that the most effective
mouser is a black snake...will outdo a cat every time.

Black beard Algae and CO2/Lighting and balance
- published: 12 Dec 2013
- views: 23895
BBA is almost always related to low co2 and it\'s been proven by Tom Barr many times. In general, algae is from imbalance between the three key factors (light, co2, nutrients). In this case, reducing the need for co2 by reducing the lighting is one solution. But co2 injection seems like the more obvious way of solving algae problems related to inconsistent co2 levels. I am definitely going to get some pressurized co2 for this tank soon, and I\'ll certainly be posting lots of videos about co2 for you guys soon.

Read an Excerpt
When I first met soft-spoken Leo Carter, he was a seventeen-year-old veteran of Chicago's grittiest neighborhood. His testimony had put three killers in prison. And he was still carrying a .38-caliber slug in his head--a grisly reminder of a horrific saga that began when he witnessed Elijah Baptist gun down a local grocer.
Leo and a friend, Leslie Scott, were playing basketball when they saw Elijah, then sixteen years old, slay Sam Blue outside his grocery store. Leo had known the grocer since childhood. "When we didn't have any food, he'd give us some," Leo explained to me. "So when I went to the hospital and they said he was dead, I knew I'd have to testify about what I saw."
Eyewitness testimony is powerful. One of the most dramatic moments in a trial is when a witness describes the crime that he or she saw and then points confidently toward the defendant as being the perpetrator. Elijah Baptist knew that the only way to avoid prison would be to somehow prevent Leo Carter and Leslie Scott from doing just that.
So Elijah and two of his pals staged an ambush. Leslie and Leo's brother, Henry, were brutally murdered, while Leo was shot in the head and left for dead. But somehow, against all odds, Leo lived. The bullet, in a place too precarious to be removed, remained in his skull. Despite searing headaches that strong medication couldn't dull, he became the sole eyewitness against Elijah Baptist and his two cohorts. His word was good enough to land them in prison for the rest of their lives.
Leo Carter is one of my heroes. He made sure justice was served, even though he paid a monumental price forit.
When I think of eyewitness testimony, even to this day--thirty years later--his face still appears in my mind.2
TESTIMONY FROM DISTANT TIME Yes, eyewitness testimony can be compelling and convincing.
When a witness has had ample opportunity to observe a crime, when there's no bias or ulterior motives, when the witness is truthful and fair, the climactic act of pointing out a defendant in a courtroom can be enough to doom that person to prison or worse.
And eyewitness testimony is just as crucial in investigating historical matters--even the issue of whether the Christmas manger really contained the unique Son of God.
But what eyewitness accounts do we possess? Do we have the testimony of anyone who personally interacted with Jesus, who listened to his teachings, who saw his miracles, who witnessed his death, and who encountered him after his alleged resurrection? Do we have any records from first-century "journalists" who interviewed eyewitnesses, asked tough questions, and faithfully recorded what they scrupulously determined to be true?
I knew that just as Leo Carter's testimony clinched the convictions of three brutal murderers, eyewitness accounts from the mists of distant time could help resolve the most important spiritual issue of all. To get solid answers, I flew to Denver to interview a scholar who literally wrote the book on the topic: Dr. Craig Blomberg, author of The Historical Reliability of the Gospels.
INTERVIEW: CRAIG L. BLOMBERG, PHD Craig Blomberg is widely considered one of the country's foremost authorities on the biographies of Jesus, which are called the four gospels. He received his doctorate in New Testament from Aberdeen University in Scotland, later serving as a senior research fellow for Tyndale House at Cambridge University in England, where he was part of an elite group of international scholars that produced a series of acclaimed works on Jesus. He is currently a professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary.
As he settled into a high-back chair in his office, cup of coffee in hand, I too sipped some coffee to ward off the Colorado chill. Because I sensed Blomberg was a get-to-the-point kind of guy, I decided to start my interview by cutting to the core of the issue.
"Tell me this," I said with an edge of challenge in my voice, "is it really possible to be an intelligent, critically thinking person and still believe that the four gospels were written by the people whose names have been attached to them?"
Blomberg set his coffee cup on the edge of his desk and looked intently at me. "The answer is yes," he said with conviction.
He sat back and continued. "It's important to acknowledge that strictly speaking, the gospels are anonymous.
But the uniform testimony of the early church was that Matthew, also known as Levi, the tax collector and one of The Eyewitness Evidence 15
the twelve disciples, was the author of the first gospel in the New Testament; that John Mark, a companion of Peter, was the author of the gospel we call Mark; and that Luke, known as Paul's 'beloved physician,' wrote both the gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles."
"How uniform was the belief that they were the authors?"
I asked.
"There are no known competitors for these three gospels," he said. "Apparently, it was just not in dispute."
Even so, I wanted to test the issue further. "Excuse my skepticism," I said, "but would anyone have had a motivation to lie by claiming these people wrote these gospels, when they really didn't?"
Blomberg shook his head. "Probably not. Remember, these were unlikely characters," he said, a grin breaking on his face. "Mark and Luke weren't even among the twelve disciples. Matthew was, but as a former hated tax collector, he would have been the most infamous character next to Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus!
"Contrast this with what happened when the fanciful Apocryphal Gospels were written much later. People chose the names of well-known and exemplary figures to be their fictitious authors--Philip, Peter, Mary, James.
Those names carried much more weight than the names of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. So to answer your question, there would not have been any reason to attribute authorship to these three less respected people if it weren't true."
That sounded logical, but it was obvious that he was leaving out one of the gospel writers. "What about John?"
I asked. "He was extremely prominent; in fact, he wasn't just one of the twelve disciples but one of Jesus' inner three, along with James and Peter."

Zac Efron will star in the John F. Kennedy assassination drama, "Parkland." THR reports Efron and Marcia Gay Harden have joined the ensemble cast, which includes Billy Bob Thornton, Paul Giamatti, and Jacki Weaver.
The film, which is adapted from Vincent Bugliosi's Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, focuses on the dramatic events at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, where Kennedy was taken after being shot.
The film is planned for a Nov. 2013 release to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination.
For whatever reason, filming is set for Austin, Tex. rather than Dallas. Peter Landesman is writing the adaptation and will also direct the film.

how much food and what kind of food does it need?
Thanks a lot
It is a kissing gourami.
I second that. Kissing gouami. You can click on the shaded name to learn more about it including temperature and tank size requirements. They will generally take any floating pellets or flakes. They don't need added aeration because they can break atmospheric oxygen, but they do need some space between the surface of the water and the hood of the aquarium.

Get Involved in CLLPAGCLLPAG has openings on the Board of Directors for a representative from BC, Quebec and the Maritime provinces. Patients, caregivers and interested persons are welcome to apply.
For more information and an application form contact Deborah: Contact Email
CLLPAG is a volunteer-run patient organization that advocates for and provides education about health care that will extend the lives of Canadians affected by Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).
Directors are expected to participate in 4-5 conference call meetings and one face-to-face meeting per year.
It's an opportunity to make a difference for CLL patients in Canada.
June 29, 2016
We're excited to announce the launch of My CLL Compass, a new online tool that helps Canadian patients and caregivers get the information they need and help alleviate anxiety or confusion they may be feeling after a chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) diagnosis.
The educational website provides information and tips on living with CLL (including "Watch and Wait"), resources for patients and caregivers, questions to ask a doctor, and more. Through an interactive quiz with printable results, patients can learn more about the unique factors they should consider when choosing the options that are right for them, such as other medical conditions, personal health goals and lifestyle factors.
My CLL Compass aims to empower people living with CLL have informed discussions with their doctor along their journey with the disease. The website, made possible by financial support from Hoffmann-La Roche Limited (Roche Canada), was developed in collaboration with an expert steering committee of healthcare professionals, patients and key patient organizations, including CLL Patient Advocacy Group (CLLPAG), The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC), and Lymphoma Canada.
Rebecca Drotos, CLLPAG Board Director has provided media input for My CLL Compass and you can find her interviews at these links:

Rising drug costs are Forcing Changes in Private Drug PlansInnovative Medicines, the industry association of the pharmaceutical industry, recently held a seminar for patient groups about changes in private drug plans.
The pharmaceutical industry representatives reported that new high-priced specialty drugs are creating a budget crunch for the private group insurance drug plans (Green Shield, Great West Life and Manulife and other insurers). CLL patients are familiar with Ibrutinib, which has recently been approved in most provinces and can cost over $100,000 a year to patients without drug coverage. To manage the new costs, insurers are setting up new drug plan models. Here are four examples:
1. Manulife's Drug Watch – Manulife has set up special program to scrutinize its drug coverage. Under DrugWatch, an additional 'financial assessment' determines if a drug will be covered or not. A drug could be covered but with significant price increases in the cost of the drug plan for employers and employees. In addition, coverage could be conditional on patient participation in a drug adherence program to make sure patients take their medication and are responding to the medication.
2. Prior Authorization – With prior authorization,additional patient information must be provided to the insurer before drug coverage is approved.
3. Case management - As in disability claims,a case manager will review the proposed treatment, consider alternatives and evaluate results. Patient cooperation is a key criterion in continued coverage.
4. Maximum limits – The insurer sets a claims limit for certain classes of drugs. Until now, the cost pressures have been from specialty drugs for small groups of patients but many new high cost drugs for larger patient groups are coming to market in the near future. Innovative Medicines hopes that employers and employees will see the value of continuing well-funded and comprehensive private drug plans.
Publically funded drug plans are undoubtedly facing the same cost pressures, although the private plans seem to be leading the changes.
To ensure that your health needs are met, it is best to check with your employer or trade union to make sure they are aware of your drug needs. Ask to be made aware of any discussions about changes in drug coverage.
FORwaRds – Academics from around the world meet to discuss Fear of Cancer RecurrenceA key feature of CLL is that it reoccurs and the timing can be unpredictable. We go to our regular blood tests wondering if the results will show that the cancer is returning. Living with that fear is part of living with CLL. A group of academics from around the world met in Ottawa to this past summer to discuss the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR). Their broad aim is to raise awareness of FCR and promote activities, which improve the identification and treatment of high levels of FCR amongst cancer patients. They formed an ongoing group called Fear of Recurrence Special Interest Group (FORwaRdS). FORwaRds is a multidisciplinary group of clinicians, researchers and patient representatives with a special interest in fear of cancer recurrence (FCR).
They are stimulating and disseminating research, creating opportunities for education and networking on FCR. Peter Dorfman, Vice-Chair of CLLPAG was one of two patients chosen to participate in the Ottawa meeting to share what it is like to live with a cancer that always comes back.

Report from Canadian CLL Meeting, October 1-2, 2015
Each year, Canadian CLL Researchers meet in Winnipeg to share their work and learn about recent developments in CLL research. As part of the program, CLLPAG has been invited to share its work and provide a patient perspective.
Here is a snapshot of some of the presentations.
- ‣ CLL patients need to be aware of secondary cancers, particularly skin cancers. In a Manitoba study, 22% of CLL patients developed skin cancer, mostly basal cell.
- ‣ An emerging new treatment uses a patient's blood to fight cancer. Called immunotherapy, a sample of the patient's white blood cells is extracted, re-engineered and then injected back into the patient to treat their blood cancer. The re-engineered cells are called chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, or CARTs. Recent advances may soon allow a patient's cells to the re-engineered with within three days.
- ‣ The success of Ibrutinib as a BTK pathway inhibitor has spurred new studies on the complex ways that novel agents affect the cell microenvironment. Scientists are also looking at other potential cell pathways for CLL therapies.
- ‣ While data on Ibrutinib continues to be very positive, patients who stop taking Ibrutinib do very poorly.
- ‣ The challenge of treating patients with high risk markers such as 17p and 11q was a theme in many presentations.
- ‣ The use of mitochondrial inhibitors and uncouplers may allow patients to reduce their dosage of Bendamustine, Fludarabine and Chlorambucil without reducing the drug's effectiveness. Scientists are working on an automated cell level screening mechanism to identify the best treatment for individual patients. CLL health care providers and scientists have made Winnipeg a centre of excellence in CLL by leveraging the power of their provincial CLL patient database. An easily accessible database facilitates research, easy identification of patient profiles and best therapeutic responses.

Someone in my family has cancer: A video for kids and parents
A diagnosis of cancer is devastating, not only for the patient, but also for his or her entire family. Lundbeck Canada has developed an animated video aimed at helping children better understand cancer in the family and help them cope with the situation. This video is meant as a conversation starter and should not replace an open conversation between a child and an adult. Watch it with your children or grandchildren.
Here are some organizations that might be useful in helping you to answer any tough questions that might come up:
Canadian Cancer Society — Telling children about a cancer diagnosis in the family
American Cancer Society — Helping children when a family member has cancer: Dealing with diagnosis
Cancer Research UK: Talking to children
NYU Langone Medical Center: Straight talk to kids
Fondation québécoise du cancer: Du soutien au quotidien pour les Québécois atteints de cancer et leurs proches

Dick in 1956, 'Minority Report' is science-fiction of the sort that Dick preferred to write -- set in the future, but all wrapped up in concerns that are immediately relevant to the present moment (that the same concerns were relevant back in 1956 is not a little unnerving, as will become clear).READ more

"There's three things I like: The USA, partying and Miley Cyrus." Who knew we had so much in common with Chelsea Kane?!
Disney darling Chelsea Kane and her pro partner Mark Ballas danced the Samba to fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" on "Dancing With the Stars" on Apr. 18. So how was their performance? In short: A party.
Kane and Ballas are one of our favorite pairs simply because it looks like they have so much fun dancing together. Also, Kane's patriotic outfit was super cute. What did the judges have to say about their Samba?
Len Goodman: "This was a party and I'm not talking tupperware party. This was real good fun!"
Carrie Ann Inaba: "You guys dance so well together. You match your moves perfectly. I think this was fantastic."
Bruno Tonioli: "The positive energy of America and the sizzle and excitement of Brazil, the best of both worlds! You're a really, really good dancer. Great job!"
Carrie and Bruno scored the performance as a 9, while Len gave them an 8 for a total of 26 out of 30. For the record, we totally think Len should have given them a 9 as well. What did you think of their Samba, Zappers?

"Indian Road Signs #1" India Things to Do Tip by Beefy_SAFC
India Things to Do: 1,030 reviews and 1,689 photos
We all know about the witty sense of humour the Indians use get across the message about road safety. What has not happened is that someone has bothered to gather all the photographs into one place. So what I've done is to trawl the internet to do exactly this (this message is repeated in each tip, but the photograph for each one is different).
Apologies to the actual photographers for not asking (including one or two from other VT'ers), however, I believe this had to be done sooner or later, to get the funniest, wittiest and most bizarre road sign all together in the one place (spread over 12 separate tips). I've seen all but two of these signs for myself, but did not get a chance to photograph them - asking to stop a bus every time you see one of these signs is not really practical. I've tried where possible to identify their location from my memory of them (most are either in Ladakh or on the Leh-Manali Highway).
So here we have it, the complete collection of Indian Road Signs!!! One missing from these is "I'm curvaceous, please take me slowly"!!!

Lighting is fundamental to good photography - it is the major and most important element.
In order to take great photos you need to understand light and its properties.
There are 8 lessons in this course:
Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
Extract from the Course Notes.....
For photographic purposes, light possesses several properties. The first is intensity, which will be discussed later. The second is colour, which in photographic terms is measured by colour temperature. This temperature scale is based upon the concept of a 'black body radiator'. In essence, this means that if we take, for example, a cold black iron bar and heat it, we will eventually reach the point where it begins to emit light. The temperature required to make this body emit light is measured in Kelvin degrees, the scale of which begins at absolute zero or minus 273 degrees C.
Consequently, the light emitted by a tungsten light source (for example, studio flood lights), is said to have a colour temperature of 3,200 degrees or the equivalent in light spectrum emission to a black body radiator heated to this temperature. The higher the temperature, the bluer and less red the light emitted until eventually, at very high temperatures, the light moves towards the violet end of the visible spectrum. Normal daylight is measured to be 5500K degrees.
Colour Temperature
is important in colour photography as film is manufactured to give accurate colour images based on this system of measurement. Tungsten film will produce false colour in daylight and vice versa. Some sources of light (eg. Fluorescent tubes) produce light through the injection of electrical energy into an excitable gas. Such sources are given a value called a correlative colour temperature. Since the gas does not behave as a black body radiator, the value cannot be seen as having the same reliability, since these types of light sources do not give a consistent colour output and can include spectral spikes which cause colour casts with some films.
Lighting is a critical factor in photography. Light sources can be defined in terms of four properties:

Real Money Casinos
Real money casinos, which let you wager with real money, have gained immense popularity as a number of professional and amateur gamblers prefer the online casino games for the convenience of earning money from home. As online casinos use the best gaming platforms to provide top notch video and audio interfaces, creating a realistic casino experience, many casino players prefer this convenient option to travelling miles for some real casino fun.
This site will be listing the best sites in 2013, where it's safe and secure to play the best casino games for real money with good winning percentages and of course also big progressive jackpot chances. Most of the rooms here will focus a lot on UK players but most European nationalities can join and play with no problems.
Best UK/EU Casino Sites in 2014

|RedBet Casino
Real Money Casino Games
A real money casino offers most of the popular classic casino games like poker, roulette, blackjack, craps, slots and more. In addition to that, you can also play a number of other arcade games, flash games and different variations of the classic games like pai gow poker, mini roulette, fruit slots etc. Some online casinos also offer speciality games like internet bingo, video poker, keno, Sic Bo, and a variety of other table, dice games and real money sportsbooks.
Why Real Money Casinos are So Popular
A real money casino offers many benefits – from the convenience of enjoying casino games in the comfort of your home to earning big rewards in the form of prize money, promotional cash incentives and bonuses. We can present the best casino for real money also when it comes to live dealer casinos. Here are a few other reasons that explain why a real money casino is beneficial.
Ideal for Beginners
If you are new to the world of casinos and gambling, it may be overwhelming to start with the real world casinos where there is little help for beginners. But when you register with an online casino, you get to access the free or play money casino games that you can play for practice. For example there are fun and free slots tournaments for new players. Nowadays there are also possibilities to play casino on iPad. Also, these casinos have detailed online information about the games, rules, and strategies, along with 24/7 customer support teams to help you with your queries.
Real Money Casinos Bonuses and Rewards
Online casinos offer huge amounts of bonuses and cash incentives to attract a higher number of players. So when you play online, look for casinos that offer the highest payouts and cash bonuses, which can be used as redeposit and also a cushion if ever you lose your own money. There are also bad bonus offers with way to high turn over requirements and we will warn you about these.
Another advantage is that it is easier to take part and win the progressive jackpots and online casino tournaments in real money casinos than in the land casinos.
Easy Banking Options
Playing online casino games for real money is very easy as you can deposit and withdraw your money through convenient online banking options. Most of the real money online casinos accept deposits through secured modes of money transfer and allow withdrawal of money only after careful identity checks and other verifications. This not only secures your money, but also ensures that you are able to withdraw your money without any hassles.
To make sure that your hard-earned money is secure, you should make an effort to find real money casinos that are legitimate and financially sound. Spend some time to read the privacy policy, the banking details, and the terms and conditions of the site before playing with real money. Also, choose a site that lets you play for free and also for real money, so that you can check the gaming platform and user interface of the casino without spending money.
Here at realmoneycasinos.co.uk we take responsible gambling seriously. If you feel that gambling becomes a problem we suggest you seek help at GamblersAnonymous, GamCare or GambleAware.

IT'S easy to miss Kori. This attractive little Korean restaurant and bar fades into the background on its drab block in TriBeCa, which is practically deserted after dark. Consider yourself lucky if you find it, though, because Kori is unusual, a Korean restaurant that succeeds in merging East and West, old and new.
These days, most of the Korean restaurants in New York are intended primarily for Korean immigrants and travelers, like the places in Koreatown, or for fashion-conscious young Americans and second-generation Korean club kids, like many of the new downtown places. Kori fits neither model. It seems a wholly personal expression of its owner and chef, Kori Kim: up-to-date and appealing to Americans but tied to Korean traditions.
Ms. Kim, 48, is an unlikely person to own a restaurant, having never worked in one before. She learned to cook in a big, traditional Korean family in Seoul. As the wife of the oldest son, it was her role to cook dinner for the whole family, up to 30 people, and she said her hope was to serve her customers exactly the same food she made for her family.
It is hard to imagine Ms. Kim serving food at home as polished as her dubu sobegi ($6.50), a tofu croquette stuffed with savory ground Asian mushrooms and beautifully presented like a rectangular gift box, sliced diagonally into four pieces and held together with a seaweed ribbon. It's a subtle dish in a cuisine known for its power and rusticity.
Ms. Kim's presentation of yook hwe ($7), a sort of Asian steak tartare, is similar. Thin strips of raw beef, kissed with sesame oil and dusted with pine nuts, arrive on a square platter with a raw quail egg on top. Alongside are matchsticks of sweet Asian pear and slices of earthy mushroom, the raw materials for an artful combination of flavors and textures.
If it is power you want, Ms. Kim is happy to provide that, too. Jo ge gui ($10), littleneck clams marinated in soju, a clear Korean liquor, is both beautiful and spicy. The clams are chopped, blended with ginger and red pepper, and served on the shell. The waitress set the dish aflame before serving it to us, roasting the clams perfectly. Duk bokki ($6.95), soft rice-flour cylinders with a pleasant bite to them, come in a red chili sauce that is pure fire. Though not spicy, bindaeduk ($7.95), delicate little scallion pancakes of mung-bean flour, are wholly satisfying.
Like many of the new-wave Korean restaurants, Kori does not put out free nibbles at the beginning of the meal. Instead, Ms. Kim offers a little dish of excellent kimchi between courses and often something else, like sauteed root vegetables or thin-sliced dried squid.
Main courses don't quite rise to the level of the appetizers, though they can be very good as well. Galbi jim ($18), served in a ceramic crock, is a wonderful stew of short ribs with sweet dates, chestnuts and turnips, while eel ($16.95), marinated in sweet soy sauce and sauteed, is melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Bibimbop ($13.95), a signature Korean dish of rice, beef, eggs and vegetables, served sizzling, is fresh and enjoyable, while bulgogi ($14.95), thin strips of sweet marinated beef, is fine even though it is cooked in the kitchen rather than on a tabletop grill. I also liked naj-ji bok-gum ($18), chewy sauteed octopus with thin noodles in a moderately spicy sauce, but sam chi ($17), Spanish mackerel sauteed with garlic, was mushy and unappetizing.
Kori is a bar as well, and noise and smoke occasionally waft through the narrow dining room. There are some excellent cocktails made with soju that Ms. Kim has infused with flavors like ginger, lime and lemon, along with a small selection of wines.
As Korean restaurants navigate their way into the mainstream, some stay too close to home, while others cut off ties to the past. Kori manages to bridge the gulf successfully.
253 Church Street near Leonard Street, TriBeCa, (212) 334-0908.
BEST DISHES: Stuffed tofu croquette, marinated beef with Asian pear, grilled marinated clams, rice cakes in red pepper sauce, mung-bean pancakes, short-rib casserole, sauteed eel, bibimbop, bulgogi, octopus with noodles.

As real estate values strengthen, homeowners are spending their increased home equity on renovations. This trend means that Masco Corp. (NYSE:MAS), a building products company that specializes in cabinets and faucets, may be able to turn on the tap and fill its glass with higher earnings.
Masco also benefits from strong new home construction, and was only mildly affected by the winter weather. As the weather improves, demand for new homes is likely to increase. The company is one of the largest suppliers to Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and is showing signs of pricing power as margins continue to expand. Masco scores a strong 98 on the StarMine Earnings Quality (EQ) model which leads the Thomson Reuters research team to believe that these earnings are based on solid fundamentals and are likely to be sustainable going forward.
Source: Thomson Reuters Eikon/StarMine
Opening doors
Strong cash flows are a key sign of earnings quality. Research has shown that earnings backed by strong cash flows tend to be more sustainable in the long run than those backed by poor cash flows. By this measure, Masco is opening the doors to earnings quality. As you can see in the chart above, the company has had three consecutive quarters of positive net income, something that has not happened in more than five years. Encouraging for Masco, net income is also backed by the strongest cash flows in five years-- three consecutive quarters of cash flow from operations greater than $250 million, another first for the company since the financial crisis of 2008.
Source: Thomson Reuters Eikon/StarMine
Making a splash
Masco performs best on the operating efficiency component of the EQ model. Masco saw trailing 4Q return on net operating assets increase to 25% in the latest reported quarter. That increase has been gradual since the housing recovery in 2009.Although the rest of the industry has also done well on this measure, Masco's performance has been exponentially better. Consider this: return on net operating assets for Masco and the industry were about even in 2010 at 8%. Since then the industry has improved to 12% while Masco hammered out a 25% gain.
We break out the return on net operating assets into its two components: operating profit margin and operating asset turnover. By both these measures Masco has seen tremendous improvement. We've already mentioned that Masco has had the ability to price its products at a premium and still keep revenues amid strong demand. Furthermore, our research has shown that upward trends in net operating asset turnover also contribute to greater operational efficiency and therefore, better earnings quality. The chart above shows that asset turnover more than doubled over the last five years and increased steadily, showing management has delivered operating efficiency.
Source: Thomson Reuters Eikon/StarMine
Nailing inventory management
Another positive sign for Masco is falling inventory levels despite strong demand. The company has resisted the urge to build up its inventory levels to meet demand, and instead has managed its inventories more efficiently, a good sign for the coming quarters. The chart on inventory days shows that Masco has reduced inventory days (over a year ago) every quarter for the last eight quarters. That's an impressive feat in this growth environment.
On the last earnings conference call, CEO Tim Wadhams made an impressive case for the strength of Masco earnings. He backed up claims of execution with hard numbers. He pointed to profitability in the cabinet and installation divisions, the success of new products, strong international growth (which could be a key driver of earnings growth in the coming quarters) and an improved balance sheet as the company retired more debt.
He does not see a slowdown ahead. He said Masco continues "to benefit from increased new home construction activity and from improving repair and remodel activity, as consumers invest in bigger-ticket projects like windows and cabinets." Strong earnings quality at Masco backs up his claims and bodes well as the company bangs out results in the coming quarters.
