Monitor Radio, the public radio programming service of the Christian Science Church, went off the air this morning, its news reports and features submerged under mounting financial losses and the difficulty of competing in a public radio environment increasingly dominated by big foundation and business sponsorships and by multistation alliances.
An effort to find a rescuer to buy Monitor Radio fell apart last week when stations in several major markets, faced with a gap in their schedules, signed up new programs to fill slots that had been devoted to Monitor's carefully reported and politically neutral hourly news reports and hourlong magazine feeds.
Monitor Radio's shutdown marks the end of an effort by the Christian Science Church to build a lasting electronic presence that began during the Depression and continued with intermittent efforts and unabated financial losses. At 1:11 A.M today, the Monitor's last five-minute news bulletin went out over the system's 191 public radio outlets.
''I think that Monitor Radio was a worthwhile experiment on the part of the church, since we managed to reach over a million listeners a week domestically and uncounted millions over shortwave,'' said David Cook, the editor in charge of both the church's broadcast arm and of its 78,000 weekday circulation daily, The Christian Science Monitor. ''On the basis of just public service alone, it was a good thing to expose our values and our Monitor name.''
In 1994, the last year in which the church released financial figures on broadcast operations, Monitor Radio had programming costs of $9.3 million, of which $1 million was raised from outside sources, including grants from the Ford Foundation and several others, and a handful of commercial sponsors, Mr. Cook said.
The church's financial drain from broadcasting led to internal conflict over the focus and aims of the church's news division. In 1988, The Christian Science Monitor's top editors and some other staff members resigned to protest what they saw as a neglect of the daily, which won its sixth Pulitzer Prize last year, but which has lost nearly 50,000 in circulation since 1989.
The infighting made it harder for the church to attract new partners. At the same time, Monitor Radio's church affiliation made fund-raising difficult. ''It takes a lot of conviction to get a foundation to write a check to a church, even if it is for journalism,'' Mr. Cook said.
Some public radio station managers said yesterday that the Monitor programs were popular with listeners, but that they did not reach the level of such better-known and better-financed fare as National Public Radio's evening magazine, ''All Things Considered.''
''All we used from Monitor Radio was the 5 A.M. show, which says something,'' said David Othmer, vice president and general manager of WHYY-FM, the N.P.R. outlet in Philadelphia. ''It was a good show, a fine show, but it was not the kind of show that makes you hit your palm on your forehead and say, 'I can't live without it.' ''
About 70 staff members, including reporters in eight foreign and domestic bureaus, will lose their jobs, Mr. Cook said. Six months of severance pay will cost the church ''in the hundreds of thousands of dollars,'' he added.
''How do I feel? My child is dead and how do I feel? I would say bitter-sweet,'' Mr. Cook said from his office in Boston yesterday. ''We loved reaching this audience, we're sorry that we're going away, and we're very grateful to the stations that carried us and the staff that made it possible.''
Still, Mr. Cook said, the church will continue to look for ways to provide some form of electronic news reporting.
Besides the 13 hours of programming produced each week for public radio stations, the Christian Science Church will abandon its shortwave religious broadcasts, putting up for sale or lease its powerful transmitters at Cypress Creek, S.C., and in the Mariana Islands in the Pacific.
Monitor Radio moved into public broadcasting at a time of growing competition within the medium for dollars and air time, and as public stations were forming their own programming alliances. National Public Radio dominates the market with 570 member stations, but its news programming strength is being challenged by Public Radio International's distribution of news magazines originating with the British Broadcasting Corporation, whose evening international report, ''The World,'' covers much of the same ground that Monitor Radio had chosen as its beat.
At the same time, individual public radio outlets have been striving for popular programming and granting commercial sponsors an increasing advertising presence on the air.
''We're still interested in broadcasting,'' Mr. Cook said. ''We realize that today a lot of people like to get their news that way, and we want to be of service. But one lesson we take away from this is that we not only want to reach them, but we want to reach them in a way that allows us to recover our costs.''

The St. Paul Pioneer Press recently conducted a profile piece on me in their Business Section entitled The Other Corporate Securities. The focus of the story was to illustrate the complexities (and hurdles) of operating in both the Celebrity Bodyguard and Corporate Protection markets:
"Elijah Shaw has been preparing for the Republican National Convention for about a year. The big event is a vehicle for connecting his small business to some of the largest Fortune 500 companies — meaning more business for him.
The security and investigations company owner's pitch: Companies need to start thinking about security now, because if they wait before locking something in, the prices at other companies will go up and the quality of services down.
Shaw persuaded seven of these companies to use his St. Paul-based firm to secure their dinner parties, cocktail parties and individual events during the convention and to vet the support staff hired for the events to avoid unpleasant discoveries at a point when there's no turning back.
"If you're hosting a Republican who is big on border patrol," he said. "You don't want to find out that half of your cook staff are illegal immigrants."

Glad to see you drop by! I hope you will find my site interesting. If you're looking for something in particular, I hope I can help you with that. I try to continuously add content about what's going on, and gather videos and other material from different other places. I do encourage you to have a look around and browse around the site. And if you want to contact me for whatever reason, you're very welcome to do so!
Some quick links:
PROJECTS – the most current projects I'm involved in
VIDEO – a video gallery from my YouTube account and others
GIG BLOG – I try to make an entry for most gigs. Sometimes just a picture, sometimes a video and sometimes a full novel (almost)
ORGANS – A presentation of the different organs I own
Hammond, the whole Hammond and nothing but the Hammond
As the header implies, I seldom play anything else but a Hammond (and clones there of). I see myself primarily as a organist, and not a pianist or keyboardist. Though I'm not religiously strict about it in any way, there is just so much to explore about playing the organ that I don't find the time to do anything else! I try to play a vintage B3 or similar organ as much as possible, but I have adapted a more pragmatic approach about that as well. My policy usually is that I'll bring a B3 or similar if it's practically feasible and if it in some aspect is worth it (could be either economically, spiritually, for the career and combinations there of).
I also like using the whole organ, with both manuals and pedals. I generally like working in small groups, like duos and trios. The classical organ trio setting using organ, guitar and drums is of course a favorite and I find it fascinating still how different this combination of instruments can sound depending on the people you work with. On this site I present there different trios of this kind – my own trio, Hans Bollandsås & Andreas Hellkvist In Concert and S.H.O.P. But having a another third instrument can be equally interesting. When it comes to jazz, the group I have worked with mostly the last 10 years is Trinity, where the third instrument is the trumpet. Playing with Trinity has to a great degree shaped my style of playing.
Like many other Hammond organists I've also delved myself into the world of gospel, and now I'm very glad to present a gospel trio that I work with, Kiralina Trio. Me and Kiralina also play together in her funk band Funk Up's. A quintet, and what makes it extra fun for me is that I get to play the organ bass in that band as well.
Another one of my long running collaborations is with guitar player Thomas Arnesen. First and foremost we play together in his band, Arnesen Blues band, since 16 years back. We also have a fusion trio Arnesen-Hellkvist Experience, partly based on his participation on my record Finally!.
And speaking of that, I've played on a few records over the years (read about it on the RECORDS page) and I have released one album in my own name. That one you should definitely check out. It was named Finally!, and contains mostly my own music. Three different guitar players play on a few songs each. This is by far my most ambitious production so far. Read more about it on the Finally! page. And if you want to buy a signed copy, contact me! All support is very welcome.
I also get asked now and then to add some organ to a backing track. If you are interested in that, don't hesitate to ask. I have no fixed fee, it depends on a lot of factors so it needs to be decided on a per query basis. Sometimes it's enough to just record a direct line with leslie sim from the Nord, sometimes you need a B3 with a leslie acoustically recorded, and sometimes something in between.
And of course I can come to your studio as well.
Once again, thanks for dropping by, and I hope you will enjoy your vivst to my site!

photo note: this picture is from the state fair. I think the "toot toot the clown club" was comprised of face painters, but I can't really remember now. They either painted faces or made quickie drawings where everyone is a "cartoon" version of themselves, except it's more like every man, woman, and child looks just like every other man, woman, or child but for hair color or glasses or a giant piercing through the nose. For the sake of convenience, let's say it was face (and body) painting.
medical report: I have a cold. Big deal, I know. It came on suddenly -- I got home from work yesterday and was like "man, I am really tired. I am sick and tired. Oh no, I'm sick!!" and promptly fell asleep for 10 hours. I had to work a weird 5 hour shift today, but I was doped up with dayquil and it went okay until I was on my way home and started sneezing my head off which prompted all of my face holes to start leaking at once. (gross and miserable, but true!)
you don't say: I've been reading Donald Barthelme's Sixty Stories. They are very good and I'm enjoying them so much, but I can't read too many at a time. They are funny and wonderful and complicated, but too rich to read all at once. (although not all of them, but that is the beauty of SIXTY STORIES! If I don't like one, there are 59 more.) ANYWAY, you know how it is sometimes: you read something and you think "it's so weird to be reading this now due to how it relates directly to current events, such as, say, a huge economic disaster!!" That's what happened to me this morning when I read The Rise of Capitalism. Keep in mind that this is but a small section of many other sections in the story, keep in mind that this was written well over 20 years ago, keep in mind that this isn't the last time I'll be talking about Barthelme, because I've been marking things down on my bookmark as I go along. However, the time is now for this one:
p. 201, Penguin Classic Version. (this page is omitted from the Google Books Preview, I must assume because this page is so awesome.)
Capitalism arose and took off its pajamas. Another day, another dollar. Each man is valued at what he will bring in the marketplace. Meaning has been drained from work and assigned instead of remuneration. Unemployment obliterates the world of the unemployed individual. Cultural underdevelopment of the worker, as a technique of domination, is found everywhere under late capitalism. Authentic self-determination by individuals is thwarted. The false consciousness created and catered to by mass culture perpetuates ignorance and powerlessness. Strands of raven hair floating on the surface of the Ganges...Why can't they clean up the Ganges? If the wealthy capitalists who operate the Ganges wig factories could be forced to install sieves, at the mouths of their plants...And now the sacred Ganges is choked with hair, and the river no longer knows where to put its flow, and the moonlight on the Ganges is swallowed by the hair, and the water darkens. By Vishnu! This is an intolerable situation! Shouldn't something be done about it?
last paragraph:
p.202 Smoke, rain, abulia. What can the concerned citizen do to fight the rise of capitalism, in his own community? Study of the tides of conflict and power in a system in which there is structural inequality is an important task. A knowledge of European intellectual history since 1789 provides a useful background. Information theory offers interesting new possibilities. Passion is helpful, especially those types of passion which are nonlicit. Doubt is a necessary precondition to meaningful action. Fear is the great mover, in the end.

|Executive Summary
|October 1, 2010
The Economy
Since our last newsletter, the National Bureau of Economic Research -- the group responsible for officially determining the beginnings and ends of U.S. recessions -- has confirmed what many already suspected: that the "Great Recession" ended in the middle of last year -- June 2009, to be exact. And, 15 months removed from the longest post-World War II recession, the economy is continuing to plug along, though lately it's been doing so in unspectacular fashion.
Positive news does continue to come from the manufacturing sector, with the Institute for Supply Management's Chicago branch reporting a significant September jump in its business barometer. The index, which has now indicated that the manufacturing sector has been expanding for 12 straight months, was driven higher by sharp gains in production and new orders. It also saw gains in employment for the fourth straight month (on a seasonally-adjusted basis), though the gains weren't as great as they'd been in the previous three months.
ISM's national manufacturing report is due out today, and it will be interesting to see if it reflects the same type of gains seen in the Chicago report, both for manufacturing activity and employment conditions.
In terms of the broader labor market, new claims for unemployment fell by a greater-than-expected 3.4% in the most recent week (ending Sept. 25), the Labor Department reported. But that simply reversed an identical increase in new claims recorded the prior week.
Continuing claims also fell. As always, however, these week-to-week changes by no means offer a comprehensive picture of the employment situation; weekly fluctuations and the fact that the initial figures will get revised in coming weeks make it difficult to draw conclusions from the weekly changes. Stepping back a bit, however, the numbers do give a general sense of the overall picture -- they show that claims are well below where they were a year ago, but still well above levels associated with a healthy labor market.
The housing market, meanwhile, is transitioning into a post-tax-credit environment. The National Association of Realtors' latest data shows that existing home sales rose 7.6% in August vs. July. But the figure is 19% below where it stood a year ago, when the government's homebuyer tax credit was in place.
The market is now working through the glut of foreclosed homes across the U.S. New data from RealtyTrac shows that almost a quarter of all homes sold in the second quarter were foreclosures. There's still a long way to go, however; RealtyTrac estimates it will take about three years to work through the inventory of distressed properties at the current pace.
While the housing and job markets are struggling, another market -- M&A -- is surging. Merger & acquisition activity for the third quarter was the highest in two years, according to Bloomberg. Companies have tons of cash on their balance sheets, and with interest rates low and financing costs down, it appears firms are putting their money to work. Deals or potential deals involving big players like Intel Corp. and Sanofi-Aventis have helped restore some confidence to the markets in recent weeks.
Bernanke to Set Sail with "QE2"?
Speaking of confidence, the Federal Reserve's latest statement on the economy was lacking just that. Ben Bernanke's Federal Open Market Committee said in a Sept. 21 statement that it sees indications that "the pace of recovery in output and employment has slowed in recent months. "The Committee anticipates a gradual return to higher levels of resource utilization in a context of price stability, although the pace of economic recovery is likely to be modest in the near term."
The underwhelming assessment has, however, actually seemed to help the market. That's because the second part of the FOMC's statement indicated that, because of the slowing of the recovery, the Fed is getting ready to give the economy another jolt. In addition to saying it would likely keep the key federal funds rate exceptionally low for an extended period, the Fed said it "will continue to monitor the economic outlook and financial developments and is prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed to support the economic recovery and to return inflation, over time, to levels consistent with its mandate."
That talk of "additional accommodation" has many investors thinking that another round of quantitative easing is coming -- and they are taking that as a bullish sign. Since our last newsletter, the S&P has returned 1.5%, while the Hot List has returned 3.5%. For the year, the portfolio stands at -0.4% vs. 2.3% for the S&P. Since its inception in July 2003, the Hot List is far outpacing the index, having gained 140.1% vs. the S&P's 14.1% gain.
All Shapes and Sizes
As part of its regular monthly rebalancing, the Hot List is selling two stocks and replacing them with two others that now score higher on my Guru Strategies.
The departing stocks were both winners. Discount clothing retailer Ross Stores was up about 9% (as of yesterday's close) since joining the portfolio on Aug. 6; the S&P 500 was barely in the black over the same period. Also leaving the portfolio: pawn broker Cash America International, which was up about 7%. It also had joined the portfolio on Aug. 6.
The newcomers are about as different a pair as you can find. The first is Research in Motion, the Canadian tech giant that makes the BlackBerry smartphone. The second: L&L Energy, a small coal mining firm that, while based in Seattle, does its business in China.
So, on the one hand, we have a $25 billion company which is from perhaps the flashiest sector -- technology -- and which makes one of the flashiest products -- the BlackBerry -- out there. It's a company that most investors know well; its name is constantly popping up in daily market reports because it is seen as a bellwether for the tech sector. But while it's been growing profits and revenues at a solid pace over the past year, it hasn't been good enough for investors -- shares are down about 30% over the past year.
L&L, meanwhile, is a $245 million firm that comes from a drab industry and produces an ancient, dull product -- coal. On top of that, it does its business half a world away from where RIM is headquartered. Many investors probably haven't even heard of it -- it has no analysts following it. Its shares are also headed in the opposite direction as those of Research in Motion -- they've surged some 50% in the past year and 15-fold since late March 2009 as profits and revenues have soared. Likely because of its anonymity, the stock trades for just six times trailing 12-month earnings, however, and a reasonable 1.6 times trailing 12-month sales.
I mention the stark contrast not just because it's an interesting tidbit. I think it also helps prove a broader point about investing -- namely that good values come in an array of different shapes and sizes. That's why, unlike funds that key in only on certain types of stocks (say, mid-cap value), we let the Hot List roam the entire market to find the best values.
And, whether you are roaming the entire market or looking at a more focused area, the key to finding value is focusing on the numbers -- not the headlines, not what a co-worker tells you about the stock, not what a TV pundit says about it. That's what the gurus upon whom I base my investment strategies knew so well.
Take the great Warren Buffett. While he's called the "Oracle" of Omaha, Buffett isn't blessed with any sixth sense about which way the market or individual stocks will go. How has he been so successful, then? His son Peter was once asked that. Here's what he had to say: "I think it's because he's removed emotion from his decision-making. He is not colored by anything he thinks somebody else is doing, somebody else might want, some feeling he has about something that might not be rational. Ultimately, it's because he is clear and unemotional, dispassionate about his relationship to those numbers on the page and the information he's taking in."
Recently, a new study was unveiled that backs up the notion that keeping emotion at bay is key to successful investing. Performed by The Brandes Institute, the study looked at how value stocks (which it defined as those with lower price/earnings ratios, using projected earnings for the next year) and "glamour" stocks (those with higher forward-looking P/Es) fared after both beating and missing earnings expectations. What it found was intriguing: "Prices rose for value stocks when they exceeded (or beat) earnings forecasts and, perhaps counterintuitively, when they missed expectations," the study states. More popular glamour stocks, on the other hand, produced lower returns whether they beat or missed expectations. And, the trend held up regardless of whether the firm's business was improving or declining.
What does that mean? It's an indication that value stocks tend to outperform other stocks not because they are riskier, as many believe; instead, they outperform because of behavioural biases that cause investors to put unrealistically high expectations on glamour stocks, and unrealistically low expectations on value stocks. "Over time," Brandes says, "as the influence of these biases weaken, security prices revert away from extreme levels." As that happens, the group concludes, "there are ample opportunities for investors who can remain rational and patient."
I couldn't agree more. Being rational and focusing on the numbers is a big reason the Hot List has fared so well over the long haul. It's what guided the portfolio to a stock like HealthSpring, which was being dogged by overhyped fears of the new healthcare bill's impact when the portfolio picked it up in mid-May. As fears began to subside, investors began to realize how much of a bargain HealthSpring had become, given the strength of its underlying business; since joining the portfolio, it's up about 50% while the broader market is essentially flat.
Right now, the numbers tell us that, despite the hit its shares have taken this year, Research in Motion is still running a strong business -- and that, while they have surged in the past year, L&L Energy's shares are still a bargain given the firm's strong growth.
To be sure, that's no guarantee that either stock will enjoy the kind of success HealthSpring has had while in the portfolio. But in the stock market, there are no sure things; you can't be right all the time, not even if you are Warren Buffett or Peter Lynch or Marty Zweig. What you can do, however, is stack the odds in your favor. And the way to do that is to do what gurus like Buffett, Lynch, and Zweig did: focus on the numbers and the facts, and check your emotions at the door.
The Fallen
As we rebalance the Validea Hot List, 2 stocks leave our portfolio. These include: Ross Stores, Inc. (ROST) and Cash America International, Inc. (CSH).
The Keepers
8 stocks remain in the portfolio. They are: Western Digital Corp. (WDC), Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. (JOSB), Aeropostale, Inc. (ARO), Sanofi-aventis Sa (Adr) (SNY), China Automotive Systems, Inc. (CAAS), Healthspring, Inc (HS), Gamestop Corp. (GME) and Dollar Tree, Inc. (DLTR).
The Newbies
We are adding 2 stocks to the portfolio. These include: Research In Motion Limited (Usa) (RIMM) and L&l Energy, Inc. (LLEN).
Portfolio Changes
Newcomers to the Validea Hot List
Research in Motion Limited (RIMM): Based in Waterloo, Ontario, this Canadian tech giant designs and manufactures the BlackBerry smartphone. RIM, which has offices in North America, the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe, also makes software and the operating system used by the BlackBerry.
RIM has a market cap of about $25 billion and has taken in close to $17 billion in sales in the past year. Despite posting strong earnings numbers in the past two quarters (earnings per share grew at 76% last quarter and 23% in the previous quarter, vs. the respective year-ago quarters), RIM's stock has taken a pounding since the market started to correct in early summer. That's made it a bargain, according to my Joel Greenblatt-based strategy. RIM also gets high marks from the model I base on the writings of Martin Zweig. To read more about the stock, check out the "Detailed Stock Analysis" section below.
L&L Energy, Inc. (LLEN): This Seattle-based firm actually does its business in China. The coal-mining company's subsidiaries operate coal mines, coal wholesale, coking, and coal-washing facilities in China's Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces.
L&L is a small-cap ($245 million), and it's been growing earnings at a blistering 149.6% pace over the long haul (using an average of the three-, four-, and five-year EPS growth rates), and an even faster rate in the past year or so. That's part of why, after briefly falling below $1 in late March of 2009, its stock has roared back and now trades above $8 a share today. It's also part of why, like Research in Motion, it gets approval from my Joel Greenblatt-inspired model, and high marks from my Martin Zweig-based strategy. See the "Detailed Stock Analysis" section below to learn more about the stock.
News about Validea Hot List Stocks
Sanofi-Aventis SA (SNY): On Sept. 30, Sanofi reported promising results for a final-stage study on an experimental drug used to treat Type 2 diabetes, according to The Wall Street Journal. Sanofi said the Phase-III clinical trial of lixisenatide found that once-daily doses of the drug significantly improved control of blood sugar levels in Asian patients, and presented no safety concerns, the Journal reported.
GameStop Corp. (GME): The firm has announced plans to buy back $185 million worth of its 8% bonds that are coming due in 2012, the Associated Press reported on Sept. 23. GameStop said it will offer bondholders a 2% premium over the face value of the notes, AP stated, adding that one analyst says the move could cut GameStop's annual interest expenses by about $15 million.

Purporting to be Bada Shanren's exact copy of a now-lost album by his greatest artistic inspiration and influence, the late-Ming-dynasty master Dong Qichang (1555-1636), this set of six paintings (F1998.55.1 thru F1998.55.6) occupies a unique place in the artist's overall oeuvre. The paintings simultaneously verify Bada's own allegiance to certain ancient masters from the Song and Yuan dynasties (10th-14th century)--such as Dong Yuan (died 962; F1998.55.1 and F1998.55.5), Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322; leaves F1998.55.2 and F1998.55.3), Huang Gongwang (1269-1354; F1998.55.4), and Ni Zan (1306-374; F1998.55.6)--and clearly evince his personal identification with the lineage of Southern School masters previously defined in the writings of Dong Qichang.
In creating this work, Bada not only followed the style and compositions of Dong's album, but he even faithfully copied Dong's original inscription on each leaf, including his signature. Bada's identity as the actual artist is indicated only by a single small seal on each painting. This album is Bada Shanren's ultimate homage to Dong Qichang and exemplifies his personal pursuit of antiquity in the great tradition of Chinese landscape painting.

Due Process and Punitive Damages: An Economic Approach
22 Pages Posted: 10 Oct 2007 Last revised: 23 Oct 2007
Date Written: October 9, 2007
This paper sets out a public choice (rent-seeking) theory of the Due Process Clause, which implies that the function of the clause is to prevent takings through the legislative or common law process. This view of the clause's function supports a preference for expanding rather than contracting the set of entitlements protected by the clause. The Supreme Court's application of due process reasoning in the punitive damages case law is in some respects consistent and in other respects inconsistent with this theory. For the most part, the Court has failed to develop a set of doctrines that would enable lower courts to distinguish takings from punishment consistent with reasonable regulation. This paper suggests general guidelines for developing such doctrines.

We are a volunteer project and we can't assign work to people. What my TC text, as adopted in Matthew's proposal, does is to answer the question: what happens if the work is not done ? It answers this question: Suppose the work is not done. Ultimately then we would have to drop either (a) GNOME or (b) non-systemd init systems, and non-Linux kernels. What choice should we make ? For me the answer is: We should preserve diversity and freedom of choice, at the cost of functionality. Making that statement now, very clearly, will make that doomsday scenario less likely. Ian.

Suncor cuts spending by 10% after posting $2bn loss on writedowns
Suncor Energy (TSX, NYSE:SU), Canada's largest oil and gas producer, will reduce spending by about 10% this year after it posted Wednesday a surprise loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 triggered by writedowns on the value of Canadian, Libyan and offshore assets.
The Calgary-based company's lowered its capital spending plan to between $6 billion and $6.5 billion from a November estimate of $6.7 billion to $7.3 billion. The cut comes partially from deferring maintenance at its Firebag oil sands operations to 2017 from this year.
Suncor's operating loss was $26-million, or 2 cents a share, versus operating earnings of $386-million, or 27 cents a share, in the year-ago period.
It fell short of market expectations of operating earnings of 10 cents a share, underlining how even the biggest oil sands producers are struggling to cope with slumping prices.
The company, which last month reached a $6.6 billion friendly deal with rival Canadian Oil Sands (TSX:COS) for its acquisition, also logged a $2-billion net loss, or $1.38 a common share. This was not only a result of the weak commodity price environment, but also of unrealized foreign exchange losses on U.S. dollar-denominated debt.
In the year-prior quarter, net earnings were $84-million, or 6 cents a share.
Canadian Oil Sands shareholders have until the end of the week to tender their shares to Suncor's offer of 0.28 of a Suncor share for every Canadian Oil Sands share.

Columbia Elevator's patented (#7424935) ALURE® car operator and entrance system utilizes world-class technology to meet the demands of the most discriminating customer.
Happy New Year to all our Lou's Lessons Readers! It's a new year and I am excited to continue the tradition of sharing information about the elevator industry with all of you.
With the next generation of intelligent door operators arrives the addition of a new term to the elevator operator lexicon: door and landing mechanism "modularity." This allows economies and efficiencies to be optimized on a landing-by-landing basis, freeing the elevator system designer from needing to apply a single door/operator configuration to all landings of a building. Instead, the designer may now specify the appropriate door and landing mechanism for each landing's unique requirements.
For example, consider a common application that would call for heavy-duty, more-durable door panels at the main egress floors that will bear the most traffic. Here the openings will use larger track and roller sizes for smooth and quiet operation, with an operator sufficiently robust to effectively drive such doors. In that same shaftway, there also might be entrances that open to a lower-level parking structure. Here, due to the aggregate demand of the upper floors, only a medium-duty service is needed to support that landing's lesser traffic levels. Often such landings may be exposed to the elements, compelling the system designer to employ medium-weight door panes equipped with gasketing and corrosion-resistant track. To optimize floor-to-floor travel times, that same car door operator driving the egress floor openings must now adjust its torque to minimize door-closing times without exceeding code-mandated kinetic energy restrictions.
Additionally, because of the much lower traffic demands at the upper floor landings, light-weight doors of single-skin construction can be utilized with smaller-sized rollers and/or hanger assemblies to enable faster door closings and minimized floor-to-floor travel times. To address such varying exposures, these 'intelligent' car-door operators automatically adjust their performance to move the vastly different masses at each floor in a way that minimizes the door-close cycle without violating limits specified by code. For this 'mix-and-match' technology to properly function, the interface between the landing mechanisms and the car door operator is located in precisely the same location at each landing, regardless of the door type and door equipment deployed. This need for such mechanical flexibility at each floor defines the concept of modularity.
To conclude my focus on 'smooth operators' and how elevator technology forges ahead unabated, in 2019 it is less about allaying safety concerns than it is about vastly improving the experience of the people who design and build the elevators and improving the experience for the public that rides them. The intricacies of 'flexibility' and 'modularity' are not directly visible to the public, but riders do appreciate when elevator cars run more smoothly, quietly, and arrive more quickly at their floor when called.
Among designers, our friends the installers of the elevators, and the owners/managers of the buildings that house them, these concepts are recognized and welcomed!

A margarita maker is a device that mixes margaritas and keeps them at ready to be consumed at any time. Margarita makers are much like blenders in that they rotate the ingredients until they are blended properly. However, blenders cannot make margaritas properly for a few reasons, and the way they operate is fundamentally different. Margarita makers can come with a variety of different options for their use, but they all operate in about the same way. It is possible to make a margarita by hand, or even to make a makeshift one with a blender, but margarita makers are by far the best option for making margaritas for parties and social gatherings.
Margarita makers are very similar to slushy or smoothie machines in the way they work. First, they can shave ice, so that it is the proper size for a margarita. Then, softly mix the drink and ice in a large, usually clear bowl. This makes sure that the ingredients are evenly distributed, without posing the risk of overly chopping the ice or turning the drink into mush. Instead, the drink is just turned over to prevent any of the ingredients from setting or making the drink uneven.
This is very different from a simple blender, and is why margarita makers are better at their jobs. A blender can mix the ingredients, and can even make a margarita fairly well if you know how to time it just right. However, a blender does its job and then the drink just sits. This is ok for a quick mix, but the mix will melt down after a very short period of time. This makes a blender unsuited for any circumstance where you'll have more than one drink. Even if you put it in a refrigerator, the ingredients in the margarita will separate from each other.
Also, margarita makers just taste better. Unlike blenders or smoothie machines, they are specially formatted for mixing margaritas. This means that a significant amount of time and effort has gone into determining what speed the machine needs to go at, how thin the ice needs to be crushed, and a host of other factors that dictate margarita taste. These machines can only sell in the long term f they make good margaritas, and many come with settings that will take much of the guesswork out of the process. That's not to say that any of them are perfect, but they are the best machines at making margaritas.
Another advantage to margarita makers is that they are easy to use. This is a particular advantages if you don't have a blender at all. Even if you can make margaritas well by hand, you've probably been frustrated at some point where being good at making margaritas has made you a de facto bartender at parties. With a machine, you can just pour in the right ingredients, and let the margarita maker do all of the work for the rest of the part. Even if you run out of margaritas, your part of the process is so small that you can make a whole other batch in a few minutes.
Price-wise, margarita makers are usually about as expensive as blenders, depending on the quality of the make. You probably don't want to buy the cheapest margarita maker, as these likely haven't been built with specific settings for margaritas, and might not mix them as well. Unless you are a perfectionist, however, there is likely no reason to spend more than about $100 USD on a margarita maker. That's about the median price range of any of these devices.

If you didn't see the Arsenal second-team in 'action' against Olympiakos in the Champions League last night, let me apprise you briefly of the pertinent detail: they were shit.
Ok, maybe not shit in a Blue Square Premier league, hoof it high, hoof it far, kind of way. But still shit. Shit nonetheless. Demonstrably shit.
Shit in a 'wants to play a bit like the Barcelona B-team but definitely can't' kind of way. Shit without being shit-shit, if you will. Shit, would be beaten 99 times out of 100 by the Barcelona C-team, shit – but still just about sufficiently not shit to scrape a draw in the other odd game left over.
They were shit, anyhow. That's the main thing… So, with that in mind, let's take a little peek at how they lined up in last night's afore-mentioned game. From leaky back to toothless front, via saggy middle:
See what I mean? Sort of shit, really, isn't it.
Shit in a multiplicity of ways and – let's be fair a fast moment – to a rich variety of extents. From actually not shit in any way whatsoever (Thomas Vermaelen, who must have felt a ripe old Roquefort in a cheese shop full of Edams), to the technically-speaking 'beyond shit' (Sebastian Squillaci, who wouldn't even pass muster as the Edam's waxy rind, and Marouane Chamakh, the Edam that long since rolled off the counter and wedged, out of sight, between the back door and the bin). With Andrei Arshavin (increasingly shitty even though he manifestly shouldn't be) squarely in the middle between these two extremes; Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain the most encouraging mover away from the dread pull of shitness; and, on as a substitute for the injured (quite shit) Lukasz Fabianski, Vito Mannone as its most conspicuous and hapless victim.
But, hey, no need to dwell on such things, eh? On this team's helplessly dithering approach to keeping the ball and its subversive – almost pleasingly abstract – refusal to apply even basic defensive principles to the business of keeping it at bay…
Much more gainful, instead, to follow football's most sacred maxim and "focus on the positives." Of which, oddly enough, there were several. In no particular order:
One, obviously, the result didn't even nearly matter. So all those flatulent whiffs of shitness were never in danger of wafting very far. (Here's looking at you Manchesters City and United!)
Two, getting pretty roundly shat on will probably prove instructive for the younger fringe players more clearly destined for better times ahead. Oxlade-Chamberlain first and foremost (who Olympiakos decided early on to tackle in marauding gangs of five), but also Frimpong, if he can ever figure how to stop being stupid, Miquel, and Coqueline, as well.
Three, it sure makes you appreciate the Arsenal first-team more. Next to this shabby lot, the likes of RVP and Jack Wilshere look imperious and godly. (Yep, cannot fucking wait for Jack's return from injury.)
Four. It's all rather charming, no? Watching Arsenal last night reminded me most of all of following the England cricket through most of the 90s. Oh, for sure, those old teams seldom ever set the world alight – but, hey, you can't pick the team your heart wants to follow and nor can you keep from wishing the silly buggers well.
The Ox might really become something special one day… And that was a mighty lovely biff that Benayoun scored Arsenal's lone goal with, wasn't it… And Mannone managed one half-way decent stop, too, so at least he saved just a little bit of face, right…
In other words, no, with the best will in the world Peter Martin is never gonna be confused with an Allan Donald steaming into bowl like a runaway train, or a Curtly Ambrose giving it some chin music. But one day in 1996 he bowled Brian Lara.
And Lara definitely wasn't shit.
