Gold: Did QE3 Help the Metal's Price At All?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The worry that more than four years of extraordinary monetary policy will result in lasting damage to the economy is an oft-heard reason to own gold. But if the worry is credible, why hasn't gold benefited more?
The attached Commerzbank chart shows gold not only failed to lift off the most recent burst of Federal Reserve bond buying, but it is now suffering from the scaleback of the same bond-buying efforts. Nor can you chalk everything up to the mid-2013 interest-rate scare. The beginning of the recent declines preceded that episode by a few months.
Maybe the market is colossally wrong. Meaning, wrong to be focused on the lack of inflation, on the likelihood of higher interest rates, on the tepid-but-improving growth in the economy -- and of course maybe it's wrong to be jealous of this year's substantial gains in stocks.
But shouldn't QE3 have helped even a little? Commerzbank's strategists, who view Thursday's selloff as an overreaction, are more than a bit puzzled. As they wrote Thursday:
[T]he main reason for the positive reaction of the equity markets is likely to have been the Fed's expectation that the zero interest policy can be maintained even after an unemployment rate of 6.5% is achieved. Previously, this target was regarded by market participants as a trigger for a whole series of rate hikes. The fact that money will remain extremely "cheap" for a long time yet should in fact have lent support to the gold price rather than it coming under pressure due to the end in the near future of quantitative easing (QE3). The gold price previously did not profit at all from QE3 (Chart of the Day).
Michael Shaoul of Marketfield Asset Management, meanwhile, is comparing gold's horrendous 2013 to the roughly 50% drop in the S&P 500 from 2000 to 2002, warning of an "accelerated decline" in the metal if it can't hold onto the three-year low touched on Thursday:
As can be seen gold's movements have increasingly closely followed those of the SPX, which is perhaps not surprising since from a technical perspective the SPX's decline was a textbook bear market in terms of its structure.
Interestingly gold's current losses in 2013 total -28.65%, bettering the 23.37% loss by the SPX in 2002 (although the index had already lost a similar amount between 2000 and 2001). For it to beat the SPX's 2008 loss of -38.5% the metal would have to close below $1,030. Our assumption is the total will fall between these levels, although if current support were to abruptly fail the possibility of a further deep liquidation would bring the 2008 loss level into focus.
In Friday's trading, SPDR Gold Trust is ahead by 0.6%, while iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is up 0.3%. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is gaining 0-1%. The triple leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) are moving by about 1.5% apiece.
Closed-end funds Central Fund of Canada (CEF) and Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) are gaining by 1.1% and 0.7%.

Patriots' Mankins ready to play tackle again
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Bill Belichick saw promise and versatility watching tape of Logan Mankins play left tackle in college.
The New England coach now needs his stalwart left guard to duplicate those efforts more than ever.
When starting left tackle Nate Solder left the Patriots' loss Sunday against Miami because of a concussion, his second in two weeks, Mankins shifted from guard to tackle, spending almost the entire fourth quarter protecting quarterback Tom Brady's blind side.
And if Solder is unable to return Sunday for the Patriots' pivotal game against the Ravens -- an unlikely scenario despite practicing in a limited capacity Thursday after not partaking at all a day earlier -- Mankins once again will be called upon to fill the void.
Sports Videos
"Scheme-wise, it's not all that hard. I know all the plays at every position so that's not tough," said Mankins, who has started 127 of 128 career games at left guard. "Just the overall different angles, different foot work, that kind of thing. I have to process that pretty fast."
He had no problem Sunday.
Solder, who had a concussion against Cleveland two weeks ago and was limited in practice last week, left the game against Miami after a hit to the helmet in the fourth quarter. Rookie Josh Kline stepped into
Mankins' slot at guard while the nine-year veteran inherited Solder's spot at tackle.
The Patriots (10-4) already are without starting right tackle Sebastian Vollmer, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve Oct. 29 because of a broken right leg.
"We can't dwell on the fact that someone may or may not be there. You just have to go with what you've got," Brady said. "I have plenty of things I have to focus on. Whoever is out there, I have to trust that they'll be able to do what they're asked to do or else we wouldn't be asking them to do it."
Belichick certainly believes in Mankins.
The only film he saw of Mankins at Fresno State was of him playing left tackle, but when the Patriots drafted him 32nd overall in 2005, Matt Light already was entrenched as the starter. Mankins was moved to left guard and has flourished, making the Pro Bowl five times.
"I think there's no question that he could have played left tackle in this league, played for us," Belichick said. "But we had Light there, we put him into the lineup right away at left guard and he and Light played together for years and then we got Solder and that was kind of the way it worked out.
"I don't think there was ever a thought from the coaching staff or from myself that he couldn't play left tackle."
Believe it or not, a few steps to the left translates into an entirely new assignment, Mankins said.
"You're going against faster guys (as opposed to) big, powerful guys," he explained. "You've got speed guys on the edge. You're running around a lot more. Those guys are faster. You're not always just, someone slams into you. Your feet have got to be a little quicker. You have to be a little faster."
Mankins tried to emulate Light as best he could Sunday.
"I always watched Matt Light all those years where we were kind of the same size," he said. "I figured when I'm out there I should do what he did."
If Mankins is lined up at left tackle against the Ravens (8-6), he will be in for a tougher task than last week. Linebacker-defensive end hybrids Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs are one of the most talented tandems in the league, already combining for 18 1/2 sacks this season.
"They've both played in this league a long time and I've seen them on film tons of times," Mankins said. "They're both very good players. They're good at what they do. They're both powerful guys and they get the job done out there."
Mankins routinely does, too.
So much so that Belichick maintains he could play all five positions along the offensive line.
Maybe even tight end?
"I could catch," Mankins joked. "I don't know if I could get open."

About the Author
When I was a kid, about 8 yrs. old or so, I would lend at least 25 books at the school library for my summer break. At first my teachers shook their heads in disbelief and they were probably thinking to themselves: he is never going to finish all of those books. But coming back after the summer break, I was always able to give them a detailed review of every single book. Some of those books were trilogies such as Isaac Asimovs "Foundation-" series and "Ringworld." I simply love books and though I like watching a movie just as much as everyone else, reading a book really is something else. By reading a book you construct pictures in your own mind instead of being served by a director. But what I love the most about books is the possibility of finding several layers in the book. Things that you cannot find in a movie can be put into a book, because words can be used in such a way that other kinds of meaning appear or disappear. I write about almost everything and anything, but always with my own speciality of "wry and dry" humor, that is, the kind of humor that attacks a subject head on, but still leaves the reader to think about it. I really hope you will enjoy my books... Wishing you a good reading experience, Per Holbo

I came across these on Etsy the other day and thought they were hysterical and perfect for an upcoming Christmas party. I couldn't justify spending $10-$20 per glass though. Here's how to make them yourself for just a few dollars.
Here's what you'll need.
Mason Jars
Dollar store candle sticks
E600 glue (or any super strong glue or epoxy)
Colorful beads (optional)
Rubbing alcohol
First sand the bottom of the mason jars and the top rim of the candle stick, just enough to rough it up a bit.
Then use a little rubbing alcohol to clean the sandpaper dust up
Next, I cut up a few of those marti gras type necklaces and put the beads in the top of the candle stick. I found mine at 5 below, they were 4 for $1. This step is optional but I think it looks cute.
Put a thick ring of E6000 glue around the rim of the candle stick holder.
Stick them to the bottom of the mason jars and leave them upside down for 24 hours to dry.
Here's the finished product! It's that easy! If you really want to redneck it up you could make wine glass charms out of beer bottle tops. Have fun with it!

Mint Chocolate Pudding Shots in a chocolate cup & garnished with Andes mints
I'm the self proclaimed "Pudding Shot Lady". On the rare occasion that we get out without the kids, everyone knows what I'm bringing and unlike grandma who shows up every Christmas with a fruit cake that no one eats these things actually go...FAST!
I make all kinds of flavors but everyone's favorite seems to be the mint chocolate so I thought I'd share the recipe...
This time I decided to make them in chocolate shot glasses too.
To make the chocolate cups all you need is some water balloons (or any small balloons) and chocolate melts. Just barely blow the balloons up. Then, wash them with soap and water and Dry (don't skip this step, extra moisture can affect the way the chocolate sets up). Melt the chocolate in the microwave or with a double boiler and just dip the balloon in, set them on wax paper and pop them in the fridge or freezer to harden up.
Take them out of the freezer and pop the balloons with a pin. Then, you should be able to peal the balloon out pretty easily. Regardless of what anyone tells you DON'T spray the balloons with cooking spray. I tried it on a few and It made it hard for the chocolate to stick. Then when I went to peal the balloon out they cracked because the chocolate was too thin.
I did have several cups with little holes in the bottom.
All I did was melt a little more chocolate and painted it on with a pastry brush.
All fixed!
Now onto the fun part! Here's the recipe...
1 pkg instant chocolate pudding
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
1/4 cup Creme De Menthe
8oz tub of extra creamy cool whip
Mix pudding and milk together, add alcohol and fold in whipped cream. It's that simple!
The fastest and easiest way I've found to fill the cups is to poor the pudding into a ziploc bag and snip the corner.
Once they're all done I throw some Andes mints in the food processor and sprinkle them on the top.
Here's the final product....

Homemade Angry Birds Costume for under $7!
I just finished making an Angry Birds Costumes for my son Micah who is completely obsessed with the game (I'll post pictures from his Angry Birds themed birthday party soon). I took some pictures along the way. Hopefully it will help anyone interested in making one themselves. I used the instructions on The Clock Blog and just tweaked a few things. Remember I made this for my 5 year old son, so an adult may need to change things a bit.
First I folded a piece of red felt in half and laid it on top of an old crib sheet (if you don't have an old sheet buy the cheapest muslin you can find), traced a circle and cut it out. You should now have 3 identical circles (2 felt, 1 sheet/muslin).
I then sewed one of the red felt circles and the sheet together, leaving a small hole for stuffing.
Next, I cut a hole for face and arms and hand stitched the two layers closed. To do this I pulled the seems of the two layers together and stuck my arm up in the hole I left for stuffing to stitch the layers together. For the face I traced the smallest saucer I have and it was still way to big, so be careful. The arms are just 6 inch slits.
Then, I cut out 2 identical thingamabobbers for the top of his head in red felt. Sewed the two layers together and stuffed it. Leaving the bottom open. In retrospect I wish I had just made this part of the body the way The Clock Blog did. It would have eliminated a few steps. I also cut the tail out of black felt. I should have stuffed this as well because no amount of spray starch seems to make it stand up. Be sure to leave a little tab on both so you have room to sew it.
Then I pinned the thingamabobber and the tail inside the two layers of red felt. Make sure you have the bad side of the fabric on the outside.
Sew the two layers together and flip it inside out (or right side in).
Next, cut out and sew the white belly onto the top layer of fabric. Leave a little extra fabric hanging off the end. You don't need to stitch this part yet though.
Now for the fun part sketch and cut the facial features.
If you haven't used iron on adhesive before your missing out! I never hem anything anymore. I love this stuff!
Simply cut the shape you need...
...and iron it on!
Stuff it! I have a loveseat thats seen better days and is heading to the dump very soon so I used the stuffing from the cushions. If you've got some old pillows that would work great too. Be creative because polyfill is expensive!
Fold the excess white felt under and sew.
The finished product!
Here's the cost break down...
1 1/4 yard red felt $3.12 (with 50% off coupon)
1/4 yard white felt $.62 (with coupon)
3 sheets of felt $.90 cents
Old sheet free
Stuffing from couch free
Iron on adhesive $2.25

Google has used its annual developer conference and exhibition in San Francisco this week to serve up a specially selected bunch of highlights, which include new versions of the Google App Engine and a selection of updates encompassing the Google Web Toolkit, Google Plugin for Eclipse, and Google Storage for Developers. Additionally, there is also the very interesting Prediction API and a new version of the Android operating system.
The Google App Engine now reaches a new version and senior product manager in this division Greg D'Alesandre has spoken volubly on current capabilities and future plans. Essentially, Google App Engine provides developers with the ability to develop and host applications on Google's infrastructure. Since it was first announced in 2008, Google says that more than 100,000 developers have now come to use it on a monthly basis.
App Engine delivers apps that dynamically scale with usage, without the need to manage hardware or software. As such, its popularity has meant that 200,000 active apps now exist that serve over 1.5 billion site views daily — but despite this, the technology has remained at preview status up until now.
"When App Engine graduates from preview status, which we expect it to do in the second half of this year, we'll add additional enterprise-grade features that allow us to support many more business application scenarios. Graduation from preview status also indicates a longer term commitment by Google to the product and provides a deprecation policy whereby we will support prior versions of product APIs for a guaranteed amount of time, allowing applications written to prior API specifications to continue to function," said D'Alesandre.
The week's exhibition saw Google move forward with what it likes to call its "business focus" with the release of App Engine 1.5.0, which includes Backends, improved Task Queues, and a new experimental Go runtime.
Backends technology is provided for both Python and Java. With it, Google App Engine can now support applications that require long-running and high-memory processes. Once again, this is a clear step towards the enterprise applications development space. This feature allows for new classes of applications, such as report generation apps and custom search engines, to be hosted on the platform.
Google spent some serious face-time (well, keynote PowerPoint presentation time at least) detailing the improvements to the Task Queue functions, which allows applications to control how tasks are executed and share workloads using the new REST-based APIs.
"This API access expands App Engine's compatibility with other on-premise and cloud services, furthering our commitment to an open development platform," says Google.
With Google App Engine 1.5.0 the company is also launching an experimental runtime for the Go Programming Language. Go is an open source, statically typed, compiled language with what is widely described as a "dynamic and lightweight" feel. It's also an interesting new option for App Engine because Go apps will be compiled to native code, making Go a good choice for more CPU-intensive tasks.
According to the official Google I/O blog, "As of this week, the App Engine SDK for Go is available for download, and we will soon enable deployment of Go apps into the App Engine infrastructure. If you're interested in starting early, sign up to be first through the door when we open it up to early testers."
The enterprise developer focus does not stop there. Google says that when it takes App Engine out of preview in the second half of this year, it will provide a 99.95% uptime service level agreement, operational and developer support, offline billing, and anew Terms of Service agreement geared towards businesses.
The company will also introduce a new pricing structure for App Engine based on more what has been termed "transparent" usage-based pricing. Google is announcing these features and pricing changes in advance so that customers have time to review them.
In theory, these developments work like this — adding business features will help App Engine meet a broader set of needs and the new, more transparent pricing model will help customers better align their App Engine investment with their business goals. Whether all of Google's strategy and execution will hold water in the long run is too early to say, but on the surface it does appear to be making prudent, positive, forward-looking moves.
… And in Other Google I/O News
The Google I/O show keynotes this year, typically quite practical demo-driven affairs, were initially focused (on day one at least) on the new Android "Ice Cream Sandwich" OS. intended to be more cross-device centric than any previous iteration. The company states that its goal with Ice Cream Sandwich was to deliver one operating system that works everywhere, regardless of device.
The Android team stole a lot of the show this year, especially on day one. The company's justification for this stage-hogging is that as recently as two and a half years ago, Android was just one device, launching in one country, on one carrier. Today (thanks to the developer ecosystem in no small part), the platform has grown exponentially to now boast the following:
- 100 million activated Android devices
- 400,000 new Android devices activated every day
- 200,000 free and paid applications available in Android Market
- 4.5 billion applications installed from Android Market
"From the beginning, Android was designed to extend beyond the mobile phone. With that in mind, we've developed Android Open Accessory to help developers start building new hardware accessories that will work across all Android devices," said Hugo Barra, product management director, Android.

Carl uses his laptop for private use and work. He works at home, while travelling on a train, or at the office. He uses the following hardware:
When Carl does home-office he uses Skype, a SIP application, and a H.323 application (e.g. Ekiga for both SIP and H.323) to provide VoIP connectivity to his collegues and be reachable via a phone number that is not his private phone number. To provide the best sound quality he wants to use his USB headset when it's connected. If the headset is not connected he wants to be able to answer calls with the built-in speakers and microphone. When he then connects the headset, while in a call, he wants the sound to migrate automatically to the headset.
When at work, he wants to use the microphone and speakers of the monitor for VoIP applications. If he plugs a headphone in the 3.5mm jack of the laptop, he'd like to use that as the output device. On unplugging the headphone jack the output should migrate to the monitor again.
Event sounds (this includes ringing sounds of VoIP applications when being called) should go to
Sometimes Carl uses his laptop to play a short round of Wesnoth against his friend, while talking to him on Skype. Thus he uses the USB headset for communication and wants Wesnoth to use the USB headset for sound output as well. Since the Wesnoth action is not always very high ;) Carl also starts up Amarok in the background and wants it to play to the headset, too. This requires to have the Skype output louder than the Amarok and Wesnoth "noise", because talking to his friend is most important to him.
Ami has her desktop computer on a desk in the living room. The internal HDA soundcard is connected to the monitor speakers via the 3.5mm front output jack and to high quality active speakers via the 3.5mm back output jack. She also has headphones with 3.5mm connectors which she can plug into either the headphone jack of the desktop or the headphone jack of the monitor. A USB webcam with built-in microphone is attached, providing the only microphone of this system, for use with Skype. The nearby TV is attached to the graphics card via an HDMI cable and can provide stereo audio output.
For most of her time at the computer, she only requires event sounds and the audio of web videos on her monitor speakers. If she wants to switch to higher quality playback, she turns on the active speakers and migrates the music and video audio to the active speakers while event sounds stay on the monitor speakers. To watch a DVD or some of her videos she uses the TV and either wants to use the TV speakers or the active speakers.
When using Skype, she wants to capture from the webcam and use the monitor speakers. But sometimes she'd rather move over to the couch and TV for a longer chat.

Four vy for two seats in Essex-Orleans Senate race
by Chris Braithwaite
copyright the Chronicle 10-17-2012
In a campaign season that on the national level compels voters to choose between radical extremes, people who will elect the next two state senators from the Essex-Orleans district face the opposite problem. It's not easy to find important differences in what the four candidates stand for.
That was emphasized at the opening of Monday night's media-sponsored debate at The East Side Restaurant in Newport.
Asked about industrial-strength wind power on the Kingdom's ridgelines, the candidates were unanimous in their condemnation.
That included the only political novice in the race, Jay Dudley of Orleans. In his day job, Mr. Dudley is the chief financial analyst for the state Public Service Board, the body that granted permits to the big wind projects in Sheffield and Lowell. But Mr. Dudley is no friend to wind.
Vermont wind developers, Mr. Dudley said, "are going into wild, natural areas and blowing them to smithereens."
The existing projects will offer a handful of highly technical jobs that probably won't go to local people, Mr. Dudley added.
"I support a moratorium on industrial wind," he said, "but ultimately we need to just stop it in its tracks."
In response to the moderator's specific question, how wind projects should be sited, John Rodgers of Glover said, "somewhere out in Nebraska would be good. They have no place on our ridgelines."
"Vermont does not need the power," he added, noting that a wood-fired power plant in Ryegate shut down this summer because there was no market for its electricity.
Bobby Starr of North Troy, the only incumbent in the race, said the only people who make money on wind projects are the developers and the landowners who host the towers.
Consumers, he said, will have to pay for power that, even after government subsidies, will cost ten to 12 cents per kilowatt hour to produce, while the wholesale cost of power is about six cents.
All the towns within view of a proposed project should have a say in the permitting process, Mr. Starr added, and share equally in any payment the developer offers to the town that would host it.
"How come we don't put them on Lake Champlain?" said Bob Lewis of Derby, a state representative who hopes to move up to the Senate. "We have a lot to do on this issue. We need to know the truth."
Policy differences did emerge on the subject of drugs — specifically the prescription painkillers that, the candidates agreed, have become a bigger problem than illicit drugs.
Painkillers are the number one problem, said Mr. Lewis, who has retired from a career in law enforcement. In Montpelier, he said, "we worked to give law enforcement the tools they needed."
He supported a bill that would have given a police task force the right to monitor online the prescriptions filled at the state's drugstores. Presently, he said, police have to visit pharmacies in person to view such records.
The Democratic majority rejected the bill, he said, because "people were upset about access to their personal information. We could get a lot more done if we just gave them the tools."
"I disagree that we should let police look at every person's prescription records," said Mr. Rodgers, a Democrat. "What's next? They can listen to your confessions in church, or when you talk to your lawyer?"
After 30 years of struggling with the problem, Mr. Rodgers added, "I think we would learn that enforcement is not the answer." He called instead for an emphasis on education and keeping young people in school.
Mr. Dudley, a Republican whose campaign puts a heavy emphasis on economic development, seemed to agree with Mr. Rodgers. The root problem with drugs is people's economic circumstances and high unemployment, he said. "Economic development would be an important cure for a lot of these social ills."
He blamed the plight of poor Vermonters on "this notion in Montpelier that we can have a zero-growth economy without any real effect on people."
Mr. Starr agreed that "we need to keep children busy — keep them in school, hopefully, until they're 18." Raising the age at which children can leave school from 16 to 18 is something he's tried to accomplish in the Senate, Mr. Starr said in an earlier interview.
But Mr. Starr seemed to side with Mr. Lewis on the issue of prescription monitoring.
"It may not be good, John, to track these," Mr. Starr said. "But you can't allow druggists to pump out prescriptions to these people."
Mr. Starr and Mr. Dudley differed on a couple of points. In his opening remarks, Mr. Dudley suggested that a major reason to vote for him is that he is not a Democrat, and so wouldn't add to that party's "super-majority" in the State House.
Among the consequences of that dominance, he said, would be a new sales tax on services — for work done by people like plumbers, electricians and mechanics.
In his regular visits to Montpelier, Mr. Starr said, "I haven't heard one word about that."
For the first and only time in Monday's debate, Mr. Dudley invoked the rule that let him speak out of turn to respond to a direct challenge. He said he'd heard House Speaker Shap Smith say that a sales tax on services would be on the agenda for the next session.
Mr. Starr said that was news to him. Such a tax was discussed, but not adopted, during the last session.
And in his closing remarks, Mr. Dudley said his own campaign is self-financed. "My only interest group is you," he told his audience. "My only debt is to you."
While Mr. Starr and Mr. Rodgers might claim to be independent, Mr. Dudley continued, they depend on the Democratic Party for financial support.
"Nobody does anything for Bobby other than Bobby and his immediate family," Mr. Starr responded. "I don't take directions from Montpelier, and I certainly don't take any of their money.
"I usually get the job done without a lot of fanfare," Mr. Starr concluded. "I always left that up to Vince."
That was the evening's only reference to the man who is chiefly responsible for this year's spirited Senate campaign.
Senator Vince Illuzzi created a vacancy in the district when he decided to run for state auditor, his first try at a statewide office.
That ended a long run of elections in which Mr. Illuzzi and Mr. Starr pretty much walked into office without serious opposition.
Mr. Starr is running to retain the seat he has held for eight years. He moved to the Senate after a career in the House that began in 1978. During most of his political career he ran — and drove for — his own trucking firm.
Mr. Lewis was appointed to the House to fill a vacancy five years ago. The biggest reason he wants to move to the Senate, he said in an interview, is that "you have a lot more clout in the Senate than in the House. You can get more done."
Mr. Lewis worked as a state trooper and, later, a game warden.
Mr. Rodgers was part of the fifth generation on a family farm in Glover. He runs his own small contracting firm. That kept him so busy in the summer and fall of 2010 that he did little personal campaigning in his bid to retain his seat in the House. He lost in his two-member Orleans-Caledonia district by a single vote, to fellow-Democrat Sam Young.
Mr. Dudley worked in commercial lending and small business development with area banks for 17 years before he joined the Public Service Board. His lack of political experience put him at a disadvantage Monday night, when the candidates were asked to name their most important public accomplishment over the past five years.
Mr. Dudley spoke of his 18 years on the Barton Planning Commission and Zoning Board, ten years as chairman. In that role, he said, "we structured our bylaws in a way that was fair, and had the interest of the property owner first and foremost."
Mr. Rodgers said he was on the House Institutions Committee when local voters turned down a proposal for a free-standing technical education center in Newport that would be entirely state funded.
"Many legislators thought this area would never get it together," Mr. Rodgers said. "The majority on my committee wanted to drop the tech center."
But Mr. Rodgers said he fought to keep the idea alive, and the center was ultimately established at North Country Union High School.
Mr. Starr cited his successful efforts to find state funds for all new school buildings on the western side of Orleans County. "Our children were going to school in buildings they shouldn't have been in," he said.
Reaching back well over five years, Mr. Starr also mentioned the Northeast Dairy Compact, which he created with the help of economist Dan Smith.
He had to sell the idea in five other New England states and in Washington, Mr. Starr said. Before it was killed by Congress, he said in an interview, it brought $150-million to distressed dairy farmers in New England and New York State, of which $50-million came to Vermont.
Mr. Starr said he hopes to become chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee if he's returned to Montpelier. He served for years as chairman of the House Agriculture Committee.
As for Mr. Lewis' major accomplishment, he said, "There is no question that number one is my family."
Beyond that he spoke of his work on the Committee on Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources. "I'm very proud of the bills I sponsored for sportsmen that became law," Mr. Lewis said.
Asked about a single-payer health care system, three of the candidates agreed that they had not been given enough information to make up their minds. Only Mr. Dudley took a firm stand against a single-payer system. He cited the Canadian system, which, he said, tries to control costs by rationing and delaying services to its patients. That was the only comment of the evening that drew angry grumbles from some members of the audience.
"I support a market-based approach," Mr. Dudley said.
In general, however, the two Republican candidates took moderate positions, which placed them miles to the left of the Tea Party, while the two Democrats emphasized their independence. It may be that Mr. Starr spoke for all of them when he made this comment on national politics, in an interview:
"The middle of the road is gone. You've either got to get into the ditch on one side or across the yellow line on the other. Usually the best part of the road is in the middle. I see myself as a middle-of-the-road guy."
The full debate can be viewed on NEK-TV, Comcast channel 15, on Wednesday, October 17, at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., Thursday at 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., and Friday at 2 p.m.

Home market remains tight, forcing prices up
The number of homes listed for sale ticked up by almost 2.4% in March from February but remained down 15% from a year ago, new data shows.
The low inventory of homes for sale in many markets is helping drive up prices and is being closely watched as the spring selling season takes hold.
"The newest data shows that the outlook is optimistic for the overall real estate recovery," said Steve Berkowitz, CEO of Move, which operates Realtor.com. "Things are slowly picking up steam."
In February, the supply of homes for sale stood at 4.7 months, meaning they would all sell in that time if no new supply was added, the National Association of Realtors says.
A more balanced market has a 6-month supply. Meanwhile, prices were up 10.2% in February from the year before, market watcher CoreLogic says.
Realtor.com tracks the number of homes listed for sale. That number generally increases as the spring selling season takes off.
But home inventories have a long way to go to get back to last year's levels.
Of 146 markets tracked by Realtor.com, fewer than a dozen showed a year-over-year increase in listings last month. Those markets included Shreveport, La.; Springfield, Ill.; Huntsville, Ala.; and El Paso, Texas.
Nine of the 10 markets to see the biggest year over year drops in listings were in California.
Stockton and Sacramento posted more than 60% drops. Orange County, Oakland and San Jose saw more than 50% declines.
Seattle also was in the top 10 biggest decliners, with inventory down 40% year over year.
Some cities with the largest drops in listings also posted the biggest increases in list prices.
Nationwide, median list prices were up .05% in March year over year, Realtor.com says.
But median list prices were up year-over-year almost 28% in Los Angeles and Orange County, 32% in Oakland and 48% in Sacramento, the data shows.

By JasonWinnebeck:
I wanted to try to highlight the current state of this plugin as of r2732. This is a very promising plugin in Trac and sometimes it is hard to determine how far along plugins are in development. The short story is that it is about 80% of the way to being suitable for "production" use, and it is usable now if one is willing to stand small quirks or the occasional bug. I plan on using it to help "improve" Trac usage and team acceptance by users not used to wiki format.
Per the screenshots, all of the formatting is available. The biggest thing to note is that this plugin generates wiki code, not HTML or something else, so it will integrate with existing pages and work will with Trac's differences history, and installation is "revertible" in the sense that you can just opt to not use the editor if there are any problems.
I evaluated this primarily in Firefox 2, and a little in IE6 on Trac 0.10.5dev.
- Generation of "native" Trac wikitext
- Supports heading 1-6, code block, quote format (slightly buggy on quote format)
- Bold/italics/underline, hotkeys are supported
teletype, superscript, subscript,
- hyperlinks, and automatic Trac link highlighting for CamelCase as you type (optional)
- List formatting, allows you to select and change list levels very easily, as in MS Word
- Table Editor -- the plugin is almost worth getting just for this point alone, the table editor allows add/remove columns, rows, etc as well as wiki format inside of the cells.
- Trac macros shown as normal text but expand when saved and viewed in wiki.
- Formatted code blocks shown as normal text, but can be edited as a normal "code block".
- I tested copy/paste in Firefox 2:
- Paste into MS Word was tested and worked quite well (although links are pointing incorrectly)
- Paste into editor from MS Word worked somewhat, but I tested only styles that Trac wiki can support like headings, lists, bold/italics, etc. Other issues seen were bad closing of formatting and sometimes extra newlines were added or removed. The issues were reasonably solvable through manual cleanup in "textarea" mode.
There are some bugs, a few mentioned above. The only real problem with the bugs is that sometimes the appearance is correct on the screen but the code generated is incorrect.
For someone who is already a good Trac user, the quirks are easy enough to recognize and the tool is still quite helpful. For new users, the current state is a toss-up on whether to use it directly or train the users on wiki formatting. For almost all basic edits it works well, but quirks on atypical cases or handling of newlines can be surprising to new users.

John Walsh, who spent the last seven years as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Tufts University, has joined the Yale football coaching staff and will work directly with the defensive ends as an assistant coach.
Walsh, who was Jack Siedlecki's last captain at Amherst in 1996, has been in the coaching business since his playing days ended. He was an assistant at Pomona-Pitzer College for the 1997 campaign before serving as inside linebacker, assistant special teams coordinator and head strength and conditioning coach at Georgetown from 1998 to 2001.
His Tufts players were nationally ranked in scoring defense four different seasons and he coached 17 All-NESCAC players since becoming an assistant at the Meford, Mass., school. He also coached the defensive backs at Tufts.
Walsh was a history major and four-year Amherst starter who earned a masters in educational studies at Tufts in 2005.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The annual triangle swim meet between Harvard, Princeton and Yale will take place in snowy New Haven this Friday and Saturday. The Bulldogs of the Yale women's swimming and diving team will play host to the Crimson and Tigers for their fourth consecutive dual meet this month. The three programs of Harvard, Princeton and Yale account for 30 of the 33 Ivy League women's swimming and diving titles, Princeton for nine of the last 11. Needless to say, a lot is at stake this weekend.
Yale will dive into Kiphuth Exhibition Pool on Friday unbeaten in conference matchups. The Bulldogs are 5-1 this season, but with four of those wins against Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and Penn they are undefeated in the Ivy League. Unfortunately, so are Harvard and Princeton. Harvard is 5-0 in the Ivy League, and if the Crimson pick up two more wins this weekend they will have wins over everyone in the league. The Tigers, the reigning Ivy League Champions, are 4-0, and with their most recent win over Dartmouth last weekend, the Tigers' dual meet winning streak now stands at 35 consecutive wins.
The Bulldogs are coming off their first loss of the season last week against the Naval Academy. Like many of Yale's dual meets this year it was a close one, but the metric format of the meet proved tough and Yale fell 161-139. Sophomore Molly Albrecht stood out, winning all three of her individual events. The high point of the meet, however, was definitely the diving. Paige Meneses and Rachel Rosenberg both had season and collegiate bests in the one-meter and three-meter events, respectively.
Competition will kick off Friday at Kiphuth Exhibition Pool inside Payne Whitney Gymnasium with diving at 2:00 p.m. and swimming at 6:00 p.m. Diving will resume at 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning and swimming will resume at 12:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
