Bitcoin may have reached a tipping point, now that ‘Downtown’ Josh Brown just invested

Published: July 21, 2017 7:23 a.m. ET

What does it mean when a prominent investor and financial blogger dips a toe into the cryptocurrency market?

What can bitcoin do for Brown?

Early adopter he isn’t. So, when prominent financial blogger “Downtown” Josh Brown announces that he has made an entree into the realm of digital currencies, it may be worth taking notice.

On Wednesday, Brown, a regular contributor on CNBC’s “Halftime Report” and chief executive of New York investment advisory firm Ritholtz Wealth Management, said via Twitter that he made an investment in bitcoin BTCUSD, -0.60% (and he told MarketWatch he’s also looking into bitcoin rival Ethereum too):

Brown’s purchase is part FOMO, fear of missing out, and a recognition that the recent ascent (and subsequent stumble) of so-called cryptocurrencies demand Wall Street’s attention, and should’t be summarily dismissed as newfangled, buzzy, millennial-driven hokum.

Read: Opinion: Stay away from bitcoin and ethereum—they are complete garbage

“I don’t think crypto is something you can understand fully by reading a book, so I’m getting my hands in. If it turns out to be a bust, I will probably still come away with something valuable.”
Josh Brown, CEO at Ritholtz Management

Here’s how Brown described his investment to MarketWatch:

“I would add that I view it is as my responsibility as a money manager to try to understand trends that are happening and how they may someday affect markets and the economy. I don’t think crypto is something you can understand fully by reading a book, so I’m getting my hands in. If it turns out to be a bust, I will probably still come away with something valuable.”

Brown’s bitcoin dalliance comes as digital currencies broadly are drawing a wave of mainstream attention from average Janes and Joshes to heavy hitters like Abigail Johnson, the chief executive officer of Fidelity Investments. Johnson told attendees at a digital-currency and blockchain (the digital ledger underpinning most cryptocurrencies) conference in New York in May that “huge new markets and products will be built on these platforms.” She said the big barrier to more rampant adoption is better regulation.

The compelling aspect of bitcoin and other so-called decentralized money systems is that they threaten to knock fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar DXY, +0.29% BUXX, +0.30% the euro EURUSD, -0.3974%  and the British pound, GBPUSD, -0.2078% for example, on their rear.

One bull argument for cryptos is that central bankers around the world have been printing money at an unprecedented clip to support global economies rocked in the aftermath of the 2008-’09 financial crisis, with fears of asset values inflated from this central-bank policy helping in part to lift currencies like bitcoin higher. Also, because bitcoin and the blockchain ledger, which can computerize and record individual transactions without an intermediary, threaten to disrupt financial markets in the same way the internet upended media and communications and every other industry.

A number of others heavyweights have thrown money at digital currencies, including former Legg Mason Capital Management investor Bill Miller, who told Forbes in a recent interview that he invested 1% of his net worth in bitcoin in 2014. Assuming that Miller bought at the beginning of 2014 when a single bitcoin was worth $770.44, bitcoin has rallied more than 200% to $2,345 as of late-morning Wednesday, according to popular digital-currency site And had Miller invested even earlier his gains would be truly winning, with a $1,000 invested in 2010 reaping more than $35 million today (not adjusting for inflation).

The digital currency Ether, which runs on the Ethereum network and wasn’t even around two years ago, has climbed more than 2,800%. (It is worth noting that bitcoin has been around for less than a decade).

By comparison, the broad-market equity benchmark S&P 500 index SPX, +0.10%  has climbed 18.72% on a total return basis since the start of 2014, and nearly 100% over the past five years, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.66%  has rallied 13.11% since 2014 and 46.5% in the past five years, according to FactSet data.

Digital currencies more broadly , however, have come off their best levels over the past month, following the brisk run-up, which had been supported by the aforementioned Wall Street enthusiasm and hints that non-fiat based currencies would receive the imprimatur of regulators to trade as the underpinning for exchange-traded products.

Some of the bullish bets on the outlook for bitcoin seem absurd on their face. John McAfee, the outspoken founder of the namesake antivirus software company, is betting that single bitcoin will be worth $500,000 in about three years.

To be sure, there is a palpable degree of mania around cybercurrencies. And caution is merited for those who have forgotten the debacle that was Mt. Gox.

Mt. Gox, which at one point handled more than 80% of bitcoin transactions, ceased operating suddenly back in 2014, due to a massive hack. Many individual investors complained that hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost or stranded. In the end, the losses tied to that security breach have been pegged at nearly a half-billion dollars.

Meanwhile, another digital-currency trend is raising eyebrows: so-called initial coin offerings, or ICOs. The term used to describe crowdfunding for blockchain-related startups using new digital currencies rather than existing cryptos, has been described as a “ticking time bomb” by one the founders of Ethereum, Charles Hoskinson in an interview with Bloomberg.

For Brown’s part, digital currencies are worth a look. And it is perhaps the approach average investors should take.

“I think at this stage in the game, it is important to be open-minded and not afraid to lose money or look foolish. I’ve invested into way dumber things in my life. And as far as what the future holds—if the disruption hippies turn out to be right, and the 21 million BTC that will eventually be the limit are out there in public hands, it is hard to imagine them not appreciating in price.” he said.

Japan's exports fall, but by less than expected

Published: Dec 18, 2012 7:05 p.m. ET

Asia editor

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Japan's exports fell in November from their year-earlier levels, the Finance Ministry reported Wednesday, with the trade deficit widening from the previous month. November exports fell 4.1%, less than the 5.2% drop expected in a Dow Jones Newswires survey of economists and the 5.4% decrease tipped in a Reuters poll. Imports rose 0.8%, meanwhile, sending the trade deficit for the month to 953.4 billion yen ($11.4 billion), widening from October's Y549 billion trade gap. The deficit was the widest since January's record-wide deficit. Shipments to China tumbled 14.5%, continuing their fall amid a territorial dispute between the two nations that has led some Chinese to boycott Japanese goods. Exports to the U.S. rose 5.3%, while those to the European Union dropped 19.9%.

US Stocks Close Lower As Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Weigh On Fincls

Published: Oct 21, 2009 4:57 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Wells Fargo led stocks lower Wednesday after a bearish analyst note triggered a broad sell-off that took down JPMorgan and a host of other financials.

Overall, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 92.12 points, or 0.92%, to 9949.36, marking its second decline in a row. JPMorgan and Bank of America were two of its weaker components, losing 1.38, or 3%, to 44.65, and 50 cents, or 2.9%, to 16.51, respectively.

Stocks had spent much of Wednesday's session in the green as Morgan Stanley and Yahoo posted third-quarter profits above Wall Street expectations. However, the market turned deep into the red late as Rochdale Securities' banking analyst Dick Bove cut his investment rating on Wells Fargo to sell from hold, saying the quality of its earnings was "pretty poor." Earlier in the session, Wells had traded slightly higher as the bank posted $3.2 billion in third-quarter profit. At close, however, Wells ended off 1.56, or 5.1%, to 28.90.

Joining Wells Fargo in trading lower were a number of consumer companies as the Federal Reserve's latest beige book showed weak consumer spending during late summer and early fall across most parts of the U.S. Wal-Mart was particularly weak, off 1.07, or 2.1%, to 50.63, after unveiling a wave of price cuts for the Christmas shopping season.

The Standard & Poor's 500 closed down 9.66, or 0.89%, to 1081.40, including a decline of 1.9% for financials and 1.5% for consumer discretionary companies.

The S&P 500 had pushed as high as 1101 on the session, repeating a recent trend of moving near 1100 only to fail to hold that level late.

"When we fail at that resistance level, you always see some liquidation," said Stephen Leuer, a floor trader at X-FA Trading.

The Nasdaq Composite outperformed the other broad indexes, closing down 12.74, or 0.59%, to 2150.73. The index was helped by a gain of 49 cents, or 2.9%, to 17.66, for Yahoo (Nasdaq) after the Internet search engine company's third-quarter earnings more than tripled with the company reporting fewer charges.

Morgan Stanley also finished higher, up 1.56, or 4.8%, to 34.08, as it snapped three straight quarterly losses by posting a profit in the third quarter thanks to investment banking and fixed income sales and trading.

Meet Mark

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I’m 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we’ve assumed to be true about health and wellness...

Tell Me More
Stay Connected

Mark Sisson

So, tell us about the guy behind Mark’s Daily Apple!

I’m a former elite endurance athlete who has made health and fitness my life’s work. In my younger days, I was on the track toward medical school for a while (BA in Biology from Williams College), but I got detoured by a different track—literally—and a dream of making the US Olympic team for the marathon. As the decades passed, I realized that my calling was as an independent researcher, critical thinker, motivator, and communicator—to get people to take responsibility for their health and fitness (often in the face of flawed conventional wisdom that can lead even the best-intentioned astray), and to inspire people to be open-minded, passionate, and enthusiastic about leading a healthy, happy, fit, balanced, active lifestyle, with the least amount of pain, suffering and sacrifice possible.

…the least amount of pain, suffering, and sacrifice?

This is one of my favorite sound bites because it seems the diet and exercise industry today is calibrated toward exactly that: the idea that you need to struggle and suffer to drop excess body fat, achieve fitness goals, and be “healthy.” My most prominent motivator is the pursuit of pleasure and happiness in my life. There is not a single word on this website that does not emanate from that goal. Following the Primal Blueprint is first and foremost about pleasure. I try not to speak in terms of “program,” “regimen,” or “diet” when describing the Primal Blueprint. This is a way of life—a comprehensive blueprint just like you might find when building a house—and it’s based on modern epigenetic research and evolutionary biology.

My most prominent motivator is the pursuit of pleasure and happiness in my life.

The survival of the fittest selection pressure faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors informs the lifestyle behaviors that our genes expect today in order to live a healthy, happy, energetic, long, and productive life. Instead of pain, suffering, and sacrifice, I encourage Primal Blueprint enthusiasts to be flexible and to “own” their choices not in the context of right or wrong, but simply to be well-informed about the consequences. Then, as we face these choices all day long that either promote or compromise our long-term health, we can feel empowered that we are in control of our destiny.

But you’re still super-fit, even past age 60. You must exert a ton of discipline, sacrifice, and hard work in your daily routine?

Again, everything I do is motivated by enjoyment. I indeed work hard in the gym to maintain my strength, flexibility, muscle mass, and explosive power as I battle the calendar. However, I greatly enjoy my sessions; I never, ever overdo it to the extent of compromising my health. And, truth be told, my main motivations for my workouts are, A: To LGN* with the least possible amount of training, and B: To play hard at my passions like Ultimate Frisbee, Standup paddling, snowboarding, slacklining, and anything else I wish tackle with minimal injury risk and maximum competency (especially against the athletic younger guys that I have to guard at our epic Sunday afternoon Ultimate Frisbee battles).

Coming from a background of extreme endurance training, I’m almost embarrassed to admit how little total exercise time I require to maintain an excellent fitness level and delay the aging process. Maximum results can be achieved in minimal time when you apply an exercise strategy aligned with your genetic expectations for health.

Uh, what’s LGN?

“Look Good Naked”—as my regular readers already know. Yes, I have a sense of humor too.

Tell us more about your mission at Mark’s Daily Apple and with the Primal Blueprint movement?

My mission is to change the lives of 100 million people. (I increased that number from 10 million a couple years ago when I realized I initially underestimated what’s possible!) Back in 2006 when I first published and counted my followers in the hundreds for a while, people probably scoffed at this as a throwaway line. Today, the primal/paleo/evolutionary health movement has gained tremendous mainstream acceptance. Every day, another little bit of science turns the corner to reveal and recalibrate what being healthy really entails, and the grass roots aspect of the movement continues exponential growth.

My mission is to change the lives of 100 million people.

While my team and I have been really busy trying to build this website into one of the leading health resources on the Internet (today we have some 150,000 unique visitors each day!), the most credit goes to the readers who have created this amazingly dynamic virtual community. When one browses the dozens (sometimes hundreds) of comments that follow each daily post, or the mind-blowing Success Stories, it’s immediately evident that this is more than just a URL. This is by far the most gratifying aspect of the journey—being part of the authentic, tight-knit community of real people that gather at MDA.

What are the challenges faced by the primal movement?

We are still facing a tremendous amount of momentum toward disease and accelerated aging in high tech modern life. When we seek help or guidance, it’s easy to get manipulated—by the forces of BigPharma, BigAgra, and the massive amount of misinformation and hype that characterizes the mainstream health industry. I believe fundamentally in taking personal responsibility for everything that has ever happened or will ever happen to you—and this applies to health. I am convinced that this is the best, most proactive, effective way to live life. Now, more than ever, you simply cannot hand over your health to others. Take a look at the news: 40 million on their way to type 2 diabetes, a third of Americans morbidly obese, and on and on. I am passionate about changing this.

Now, more than ever, you simply cannot hand over your health to others.

So, to the skeptics I’ll say this: try going Primal for 21 days. Assess how it feels to ditch grains and sugars from your diet and emphasize primal foods (yep, eating more delicious high fat foods). Try departing from the all-too-common chronic approach to exercise in favor of a genetically optimal blend of frequent low-level movement, regular high intensity strength workouts, and occasional all-out sprints. See how if feels to align closer with your circadian rhythm, dialing back your screen entertainment and getting deeper and more restful sleep each night. There is no greater empowerment than personal experience and breaking through the frustration and plateaus that you might have experienced from following conventional wisdom.

Can you give us details about your fitness routine?

I find creative ways to move throughout each and every day. A 10-minute break from my keyboard to play fetch with my dog, Buddha; a five-minute break to practice my Slackline skills (that usually turns into a 20-minute session!); a 30-minute easy stationary bike pedal in the gym on a recovery day. I also take a nice weekend hike of at least a couple hours, using my Vibram FiveFingers footwear of course. Those are my collective movement efforts.

I also conduct two very high intensity strength training sessions in the gym each week. These sessions last for no more than a half-hour and involve free weights, machines, bodyweight exercises, and clever little challenges I might conjure on a whim using kettlebells, stretch cords, or whatever else is around the gym. When I’m away from home on business or vacation, I’ll do a simple (but still very challenging) bodyweight routine featuring pushups, pullups, squats, and planks.

My sprint workout is really my Ultimate Frisbee outing each Sunday. Our two-hour matches demand numerous brief all-out sprints going for the disc or playing defense, and tons of leaping, cutting, stopping on a dime, and so forth. Once a week is plenty for me, and in fact I require a couple days of recovery every time. I’ll also throw in a no-impact sprint session on the stationary bike once a week. This allows me to work my top end and enjoy the metabolic benefits of sprinting without the impact trauma of running.

So, to the skeptics I’ll say this: Try going Primal for 21 days

What is your daily routine like?

Every day is a mix of business, family, and activity. I absolutely, positively make sure I get enough sleep every evening, and make sure that I get enough rest between workouts. On Monday mornings, I really take my time getting out of bed, since my body is hammered from Ultimate Frisbee! On most days, I’m quick and responsive in my communication and my level of focus and productivity. However, when I realize I need a break, I have no problem taking a break. Of course that means backing off when I’m tired, but also if I look out the window and notice ideal conditions for Stand Up paddling, I’m compelled to go. That’s what life balance is all about!

I do travel quite a bit, both for business and for pleasure. I love going to conventions organized by the movement, since the health of my virtual community is nurtured by making those real live personal connections as well. As I oversee the growing enterprises of Primal Blueprint, Primal Health Coach, Primal Kitchen, and Primal Blueprint Publishing, I think my most prominent responsibility is as a manager of resources. So I spend a ton of time communicating and strategizing with my team, but also take plenty of reflective time to write, research, brainstorm, and envision our direction for the future.

Sometimes the varied roles and responsibilities I have can be a challenge to balance, so I feel it’s very important to hone my compartmentalizing skills and be disciplined in my focus. What I mean by that is when I’m at the gym doing my midday workout, I’m not jabbering on my headset. When I’m out to dinner with Carrie, I’m not preoccupied with a contract proposal that’s sitting on my desk. I’m a big fan of technology, obviously, but we have to optimize our use so that technology doesn’t compromise our enjoyment of life. I think mobile communication and hyper-connectivity are the most urgent areas to reflect upon and strategize optimal use. I wrote a bit about this stuff in the The Primal Connection.

In my leisure time, I read voraciously—mostly history, science, and medical journals (hey, someone has to). We actually filmed a video about my daily routine, with the emphasis on taking plenty of breaks from high intensity cognitive tasks.

Can we hit you with a few more rapid-fire Q&As?

What is your health philosophy?

Really, my health philosophy is surprisingly simple. I follow a diet based on an understanding of evolutionary science. I think it’s more important to eat, move, and live according to how humans are designed and not according to society’s artificial developments of the last 100 years. Fortunately, this type of lifestyle is not only incredibly healthy, it’s quite simple.

In a nutshell:

  • Fresh, nutrient dense, high antioxidant, preferably locally grown/naturally raised food choices
  • Daily activity—whether it’s the gym or a walk along the beach, it all counts
  • Plenty of quality sleep, sun exposure, play, and intellectual stimulation
  • Avoid all sweets and sweetened beverages. Once you break free, they lose their allure
  • Time for fun—don’t take anything too seriously
  • Ethical behavior—because what goes around comes around
  • Taking responsibility for yourself and your life—openness to new things and ideas

For more on my health philosophy see my book.

Fortunately, this type of lifestyle is not only incredibly healthy, it’s quite simple.

Tell us about your family.

Carrie and I have been happily married for over 26 years. Carrie is really coming into her own in the primal scene with her popular presentations at PrimalCon and her book Primal Woman. She is heavily involved in exploring how the mind, our consciousness, and our thoughts affect our well-being. She attends many personal growth retreats as a facilitator.

Tell us about your political bent.

Well, I find politics entertaining at times, infuriating at other times. I’m not too political. People’s health and personal enjoyment of life matter more to me than politics and the hot air from the latest pundits.

What is your bottom line?

Easy! I am nothing short of outraged by the mass-marketing of deadly drugs, surgery, and lifestyles that do nothing more than destroy people’s lives. I believe humans have a right to something better—if we demand it.

You say some bold stuff. Do you have enemies in the food and drug business?

I don’t really care what people who have sold their souls think about me. I sleep at night!

Why should I listen to you?

You shouldn’t. I’m partly kidding, of course, but I do believe in critically assessing everything we come across, particularly if it has an impact on our health—including anything I say. I learn something new from my readers every day.

What kind of music do you like?

I love all kinds. I am partial to Earth, Wind and Fire; The Doors; REM; Pearl Jam; and The Police.

What is your favorite food?

My favorite food is a big, 20-ingredient salad with an avocado oil-based dressing. Really. (I know, I know. Lettuce???) But for 20 years now, I have enjoyed a daily salad in my trusty 6-quart Tupperware bowl. I throw in turkey, salmon or tuna, sometimes some nuts like almonds or walnuts, along with tons of veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, cucumbers, and artichokes. I always say real men eat lettuce.

What is your philosophy when it comes to your customers and business?

Well, the most important thing to remember is that you can’t really separate the personal from the professional. People come first. Help people, only say yes if you can do it (be sincere), treat your employees as well as you treat your family, and your business will do well—that’s been my personal experience, anyway.

What are your top 5 values?

1) Respect
2) Balance
3) Excellence
4) Integrity
5) Curiosity: having a critical openness to new ideas

What are your top 5 pet peeves?

Where to start?

1) Impenetrable plastic packaging
2) People who don’t take responsibility for their actions
3) Inferior telephone support when calling just about every company (except hopefully Primal Blueprint!)
4) Dessert menus (a sugar bomb to essentially ruin the beautiful meal we’ve just eaten?!)
5) Doctors who are either myopic (dispense Rx’s instead of promote lifestyle change) or overstep their bounds and dispense (conventional) dietary/lifestyle advice without sufficient education/knowledge

How much do you sleep?

I’m pretty good about getting 8 hours a night. Sometimes more, especially in conjunction with high intensity workouts or stressful periods such as extensive travel.

What do you think about carbs?

Well, the Primal Blueprint models the eating habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. Carbs were a minor component of the diet, and the carbs they did eat were highly nutritious, complex, fibrous foods such as wild fruits, vegetables, and tubers. With all the controversy and bickering going on today, I want to explain that carbs are not evil per se, we just eat way too many of the wrong kind today. It’s undisputed that refined carbohydrates are a primary factor in contributing to obesity, type 2 diabetes, anxiety and depression, lack of energy, inflammation, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease.

I want to explain that carbs are not evil per se, we just eat way too many of the wrong kind today.

You can read for days on the blog about all kinds of topics related to carb intake, but in summary I will say: Ditch all forms of grains and sugars if you want to live a long, healthy life. This will default you into a “low carb, moderate protein, high fat” diet by comparison to the Standard American Diet. Enjoy vegetables in abundance as the “bulk” of your dietary emphasis (not bulk of calories since calorically-dense animal foods and high fat foods will cover that). Enjoy fruits with some discretion—emphasize eating locally grown, in-season fruits and back off on the year-round consumption of highly cultivated, oversized, overly sweetened conventional fruits. Enjoy nuts, seeds, high fat dairy, and indulgences like dark chocolate, which collectively will contribute a bit of carb calories to your daily total.

If you are a high calorie burner such as an endurance athlete, heavy CrossFit exerciser, or young, growing athlete, you may need to look for additional carbs to fuel your fitness pursuits (this assumes you are completely satisfied with your body composition). In this case, good sources of supplemental carbs include sweet potatoes and other starchy vegetables like pumpkin, wild rice, quinoa, and perhaps some legumes if you are not sensitive. If you carry excess body fat despite attention to food choices and devoted exercise, you can easily achieve breakthroughs by eating primally and moderating your carb intake in the manner described.

If you’re still here, I’m impressed. Here’s even more about me (the official bio):

I am the oldest of four children, born and raised in Maine. I was always interested in human health and athletic performance, probably because my father had been a top track and field athlete and inspired me to test myself at an early age (I even broke my leg at age two jumping off a rock for distance). By age 12, I was holding one-boy track meets in my backyard, running laps around the block and pole-vaulting with a bamboo pole into a dirt pit. My mother was always interested in achieving good health through nutrition, so I also began devouring books on health and nutrition.

I excelled at cross-country and distance track events in high school and at Williams College, where I was a pre-med candidate and received my degree in Biology.

In fact, the running was going so well after college that I decided to forgo medical school for a few years (it’s over 30 years now) and concentrate on a running career. I trained seriously as a marathoner for another five years, racking up well over 100 miles each week in training. The effort culminated in a top 5 finish in the 1980 US National Marathon Championships and a qualifying spot for the 1980 US Olympic Trials. Unfortunately, by then the inhuman amount of training and weekly racing was taking its toll and I found myself constantly sick or injured. (Note to self: too much exercise is not a good thing). In fact, in my last year of competition, as a world class, extremely “fit” athlete, I experienced eight upper respiratory infections! Clearly I was ruining my immune system and my joints doing too much exercise. That’s when I started exploring nutrition and supplementation as a way to enhance my performance and to support my damaged body and bolster my immune system.

The running injuries—osteoarthritis and tendonitis—precluded ever racing at a high level again, but that was just about the time that the new sport of Triathlon was starting to emerge, and I was immediately hooked. While I couldn’t run much anymore, I could certainly cycle and swim to my heart’s content…and I did. I spent a few more years racing triathlons, including finishing 4th place at the Hawaii Ironman, the biggest in the world at the time.

Running WorldI finally retired from competition in 1988 and decided I would do whatever I could to help others avoid making the kinds of health mistakes that I had made. I figured I could use my pre-medical background, my degree in biology, and an intense desire to unlock the health secrets that I knew were out there—answers to questions about health, wellness, anti-aging, safe weight-loss, nutrition, and supplementation—to find the natural ways of achieving good health.

I wrote several books, including Maximum Results, The Fat Control System, The Anti-aging Report, and The Lean Lifestyle Program (over 400,000 copies distributed). I edited the Optimum Health national health newsletter (circ. 90,000) from 1994 through 1996.

But most importantly, I saw the need for specific natural supplements to address the concerns of aging baby-boomers who needed nutritional “tools” to help them achieve better health. I was appalled at the amount of medications people were taking and the speed with which people were having surgery to address lifestyle problems. So I drew on my extensive research and science background to design natural state-of-the-art health-enhancing nutritional supplements and educational diet and exercise systems.

During this time, I also served for 15 years as the volunteer elected anti-doping and drug-testing chairman of the International Triathlon Union and as its liaison to the International Olympic Committee.

At the end of 2006, I decided to jump into the blogosphere to help foster compelling, critical, and enjoyable health discussions. Soon after, I started cranking out books. So far, it’s been incredibly rewarding. For interviews, guest posts, questions, criticisms, and outrage, shoot me a line via the contact form. I’m more than happy to respond to your thoughts, and I try my best to answer every email I get.

Pricing Fears

by Michael Stone
Houzz Survey

When you're in front of a potential client, is your focus on price or on the value you'll bring to the job?

Price isn't the top concern of most of your potential clients. A recent Houzz study shows that overall, only 30% of homeowners listed lowest cost as a top criteria for hiring a contractor. If price is so far down on the priority list for homeowners, why do so many contractors focus on it?

I believe it's because they either lack confidence and believe that low price is all they can offer or they don't know how to make a sales presentation. They aren't dressed appropriately, don't return their phone calls, and are late for appointments. When the customer is trying to narrow down the field of what contractor to use, these things are deal-breakers.

Open up the image and look at the data. Overall, 30% of homeowners listed lowest cost as a hiring criteria. Almost twice as many, 52%, listed communication and organization skills as a top criteria. Your first chance to display your communication and organizational skills is when you return your phone calls and show up on time. The chart also shows that experience and good reviews/recommendations are more than twice as important as price. If you don't have experience, get some. If you don't have good reviews and recommendations, ask for them.

If you don't already have the things that are important to your potential clients, you can acquire them. When you focus on what's important, instead of on price, you're able to charge the price you need to pay all the job costs, your overhead expenses, and make a reasonable profit. That's the price you need to charge to be profitable and stay in business.

I recently found this note sent to me by a client:

I don't know why, but I see so many contractors uncomfortable about charging. They feel bad if they charge the right amount. I think they're scared of the dialogue to justify the charge. I think they need to be more confident, professional, and secure. The other big thing is not being desperate. When I go out, I act as if we don't need the work, but rather want to do it because we like our job, the creativity and want to help out the client. I think that comes with managing financing and NOT LIVING beyond ones' business and personal needs. You have to be firm and say to yourself, "this is how much it will cost to do this job and make some money too. I'm not going to do it for less."

That note was sent in 2009. If you were in business in 2009 and are still in business today, you're the exception. 2009 was a low year in construction; we saw a lot of construction-related businesses fail. The contractor who sent this note had strengthened his business enough before the downturn to not have to cut his prices, and to be able to look at potential clients with confidence.

That should be your goal today, to strengthen your business enough to survive whatever happens. Build up your sales skills so you can present your experience and abilities, not your low price. Learn how to become the Contractor of Choice (in Profitable Sales, A Contractor's Guide), the contractor every other contractor should be measured against. Establish and contribute to your Operating Capital Reserve Account (covered in Markup & Profit Revisited) so you have reserves when tough times hit. Practice living within your means.

One more thing on the survey. I already pointed out that 30% of homeowners overall listed lowest cost as a top hiring criteria, but did you notice how it broke down? Price was most important to first-time homeowners, with 54% listing lowest cost as a top criteria. It dropped drastically with repeat buyers (those who've owned more than one home) and long-time owners (those who've owned their home for more than six years).

That's an important insight when you're defining your ideal customer, and when you're on a sales call. With first-time homeowners, you'll need to do far more educating, and you'll also have to keep in mind that they probably have a tighter budget. However, even first-time buyers consider reviews and recommendations more important than cost.

We'll be taking a six-day, seven-night cruise this coming January. It's less than six months away. We've had many couples and families sign up to join us; we're looking forward to a fun trip.

The group rate has expired, but rates are still good. So join us! We'll have some great classes, and we've asked our good friend Karen Mitchell to join us. Karen is a CPA, the owner of, and the author of The Contractor's Guide to Quickbooks Pro. She's also been a popular JLC Live instructor. Karen knows the construction industry as well as or better than any CPA I've ever worked with.

Find a way to join us. If you've ever been on a cruise, you know the food is fantastic. Plus you'll spend three days with fellow business owners, and spend another three days visiting St. Thomas, Tortola and Nassau. What could be better?

comScore MSNBC’s Chris Hayes On New Newt Clip: ‘So Racist It Makes Me Want To Curse On-Air’ | Mediaite

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes On New Newt Clip: ‘So Racist It Makes Me Want To Curse On-Air’

GOP presidential Lazarus Newt Gingrich has been riding high on the strength of his Birth of Newt Nation moment at Monday’s Fox News debate. On Saturday morning’s Up with Chris Hayes, host Chris Hayes revealed yet another clip of Gingrich exploiting his knack with racially resentful conservatives, a clip that Hayes said “is so racist, it makes me want to curse on air.”

RELATED: Why Won’t Black People Let Newt Gingrich Help Them?

To catch you up, Fox News debate moderator Juan Williams challenged Gingrich, Monday night, on his recent escalation of his decades-long pattern of denigrating black people and other minorities. Gingrich explained that he wants to help black people (he winkingly referred to “all Americans,” but Williams’ question was about his singling-out of black people; the crowd understood) learn how to get jobs, and get off of the food stamps that our “Food Stamp President” has them strung out on. The debate crowd erupted in a standing ovation that Gingrich’s campaign immediately turned into a campaign ad.

Later in the week, Gingrich thanked a woman who congratulated him for “putting that Juan Williams in his place.”

In the clip from Friday, Gingrich talks to a crowd of South Carolina voters about his putting of Juan Williams in his place at that debate, and says “The right to pursue happiness, in my judgment, implies pursuit or activity, which implies the work ethic. I had an interesting dialogue Monday night in Myrtle Beach with Juan Williams about the idea of work. which seemed to Juan Williams to be a strange, distant concept. Something worthy of study in an academic environment, but certainly not something to be subjected to young people.”

Hayes reacted strongly to the clip, saying “That is so racist, it makes me want to curse on air. That is…”

The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein was incredulous. “I hadn’t seen that before. That is unbelievable. That’s worse than anything NPR ever said about Juan Williams. Way worse.

The Daily Beast‘s Michelle Goldberg said “I kept thinking I bet Juan Williams wishes he had stayed at NPR.”

RELATED: Melissa Harris-Perry To Host MSNBC Weekend Show Starting In February

“I think this is part of the point,” future Up lead-out Melissa Harris Perry began. “The fact you can name three jobs Juan Williams has had in the last week, I mean, I certainly have a lot of ideological disagreements with Juan Williams, but the idea that he is not a hard worker is bizarre.”

“More than that,” Harris-Perry continued, “the other thing that’s bizarre, most of Juan Williams’ ideological discourse, at least over the course of the past decade, has tracked closer to this scenario about, you know, hard work. In fact, I recently heard him talk about how the poor have to defer gratification, they can’t — they’re not going to be able to buy the consumer items. They have to make different sorts of choices. It has a strong narrative, not only personal work ethic but a strong narrative. The sense this could be about anything other than race is pretty appalling.”

I shared Klein’s surprise at this newest clip, and I think that’s a symptom of how the mainstream media has given Gingrich a pass on his race-baiting rhetoric, reporting his gains in the horse race, but doing a poor job of reporting how he has been buoyed by this stoking of racial resentment. Hayes & company go on to say that this sort of thing will hamstring Gingrich in a general election, but I’m not so sure.

Gingrich and his erectly-ovating supporters have convinced themselves that he’s not being racist, he’s just telling uncomfortable truths about black people that the liberal media is too cowardly to say out loud. If they’re also too cowardly to say, out loud, that Gingrich is using reprehensible racial politics, you might be surprised at how Gingrich’s rhetoric resonates with “independents,” a notoriously malleable (and white) bunch.

Here’s the clip, from MSNBC:

Pentagon says missile

destroyed toxic fuel tank

The missile that took down a disabled spy satellite last week almost certainly destroyed a tank filled with potentially harmful hydrazine fuel, the Pentagon said Monday.

“By all accounts this was a successful mission,” Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a statement. “From the debris analysis, we have a high degree of confidence the satellite’s fuel tank was destroyed and the hydrazine has been dissipated.”

Airline disputes story

about woman’s death

American Airlines officials Monday disputed accounts by relatives of a woman who died aboard a flight from Haiti to New York on Friday. The airline said oxygen canisters on the plane were full and that oxygen had been administered in a timely manner to the passenger after she had trouble breathing.

Relatives of the passenger, Carine Desir of Brooklyn, said flight attendants on American Flight 896 from Port-au-Prince to Kennedy International Airport refused twice to provide oxygen even though Desir complained that she could not breath. They added that after a third request, attendants did produce an oxygen canister, but it was empty.

Desir, 46, had arteriosclerotic cardiovascular heart disease, or blockage in her arteries, as well as diabetes, according to the New York City medical examiner’s office. After an autopsy Saturday, the examiner determined that Desir died of natural causes, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the office.

Now that you’ve lost your job, you need to hurry up and find a new one, right? Wrong. You’ve got to buck up and tie up loose ends with your ex-employer in order to secure your finances and insure your health. Add these items to your to-do list for your first week out of work.

Salary and Accrued Vacation Time

Hopefully, as you walked out the door with that box full of personal possessions, your boss slipped a check in your pocket that covered your salary through the last day, pay for unused vacation and so on. But what can you do if your former employer can’t — or won’t — pay you in full?

First, be sure you and your ex are on the same page regarding what you are owed. Contact the human resources director and synchronize your records. Then call your state labor board and make sure you understand what the law mandates. Some states require that the employer pays you in full on your last day of work, others give the employer some slack. Similarly, some states mandate payment for unused vested vacation time, others may not. Your local unemployment office will be able to help.

If your ex-employer initially refuses to comply with the law, “you can use state enforcement agencies to sue an employer,” according to Paul Gregory, special employment council with the law firm Greenberg Peden in Houston. If instead you hire your own lawyer, those bills could easily exceed the amount of your claim, Gregory says.

What if government agencies are of no help? “Worst-case scenario, you’ll have to chase your money in bankruptcy court,” Gregory says. Just be aware that this is a long haul, and companies may often have few assets that can be liquidated to pay off creditors.

Your W-2

When your defunct employer disappears from the face of the earth, who creates your W-2 report of wage income? Maybe no one. If you haven’t received the form by mid-February, contact the IRS to request a substitute W-2. You will be asked to produce your final paycheck of the tax year.

Health Coverage

Don’t fool yourself: You risk disaster if you allow health insurance to lapse between jobs — even if it’s only for a few weeks. The federal COBRA law, which gives you access to your ex-employer’s group insurance plan after you leave the company, may be the best insurance bridge. With the premium reductions and additional election opportunities outlined in the economic stimulus package, you will need to pay 35 percent of the premiums, and coverage lasts up to nine months.

When you receive an offer for your next job, “bargain with the new employer to start your insurance” and waive the standard waiting period, advises Meena Patel, former human resources director and associate general council for a financial information Web site.

Unemployment Benefits

As an employee, you’ve earned the benefit of having your employer pay unemployment insurance premiums. This is no time for misplaced pride: When you apply for unemployment, you’re making an insurance claim, not asking for a handout.

“People should apply quickly,” says Gregory. There may or may not be a waiting period in your state; call the unemployment office immediately to find out how and when to file a claim in your state. Also find out whether any severance payment you receive will disqualify you from collecting unemployment. If you do collect, the payments may only replace a small portion of your salary, but they’re still worth the trouble of the paperwork.

Stock Options

If you’re leaving a business that’s in trouble, chances are your company stock and options aren’t worth nearly what they were six months or a year ago. But that’s no excuse for avoiding the task of managing of these complex financial instruments; there’s just too much money at stake.

“Speaking to colleagues isn’t always the best source of information,” says Scott Price, principal of Scott B. Price & Co. of San Francisco, a tax advisor. For one thing, different people in the organization may find themselves in different situations with respect to option strike prices, tax liabilities and so on. Also, after you’ve left the company, additional rules come into play. For example, in most cases, former employees have just 90 days from their termination day to exercise their options, according to Price.

Take our advice and spend a few bucks on a financial advisor well-versed in the intricacies of employee stock options. Options may not make you worth your weight in gold, but they could turn out to be the silver lining in the cloud that’s hanging over your career.

If your concerns haven’t been addressed here, perusing the Web is a great resource.

One moment, Dan Dillman was running toward his business to protect his family from what he thought was a possible robbery.

The next, he was being knocked to the ground, handcuffed and arrested by Alameda County Sheriff’s Office investigators, he said.

What exactly happened between those two moments a year ago is the crux of a dispute between the sheriff’s office and Dillman, owner of the Bal Theater.

The case also has involved San Leandro police, whom Dillman said were slow to release a recording of the 911 call his family made during the altercation.

Now, Dillman is facing two misdemeanor charges accusing him of battery and resisting or obstructing a police officer.

He has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 6 for a pretrial hearing.

He is in the process of filing a lawsuit against the sheriff’s office and says his troubles could have been avoided if the investigators had shown more professionalism.

“Instead, it has turned into one incredible nightmare,” said Dillman, 38.

The incident began the morning of Oct. 12, 2010 — a time when Dillman’s wife, Gina, and their three children, who work at their computer-repair business at the theater on weekdays, had grown nervous about crime in the area.

Three weeks earlier, a man impersonating a police officer handcuffed and robbed a woman in the 14800 block of East 14th Street, next to the theater where the family shows second-run films, live music and holds community fundraisers.

Also, the Dillmans learned that morning that one of the repairmen working on the theater neon signs that morning had been robbed at gunpoint by acquaintances four days earlier.

So when two men in jeans and T-shirts later arrived at Dillman’s business and led one of the sign repairmen into the theater, Gina Dillman became worried.

Unknown to her, they were sheriff’s investigators who were interviewing the repairman about the recent armed robbery.

But when they did not identify themselves to her, she called her husband, Dillman said.

Moments later, Dan Dillman ran into the darkened theater and told the two strangers they were trespassing.

The two men walked to the front lobby and told him they were law enforcement officers, he said.

Dillman — acting on advice given by San Leandro police in a Bay Area News Group article about the previous police impersonator — said he asked for the men’s badges, names and badge numbers.

When they refused, Dillman told his family to call 911.

The men then led the repairman outside and Dillman took photos of the sheriff’s investigators, later identified as Sgt. Michael Carroll and Investigator Terrance Montigue.

Suddenly, Dillman said, Montigue and Carroll started to beat him in front of his family, delivering blows to his neck, hips, ribs and back until San Leandro officers arrived.

“I never fought back,” he said. “When I heard the sirens from the San Leandro police car, I thought I was saved.”

Instead, the investigators took him into custody. He was held overnight at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin until his family posted his $5,000 bail.

Dillman said he was disappointed that San Leandro officers did not interview his family after arriving on the scene, especially given that they had called 911.

“We did all the things San Leandro police asked us to do,” Dillman said. “And for my good efforts, I got a thumping.”

Sgt. J.D. Nelson, the sheriff’s office spokesman, said that all of “Dillman’s allegations are without merit.” Investigators were forced to take Dillman “to the ground,” Nelson said, but only in order to arrest him.

“At that point, he was interfering with their investigation,” he said. “He was taking photos of a witness and wouldn’t allow them to do their job.”

In addition, Nelson said that accusations that Montigue and Carroll failed to properly identify themselves are false.

“The people who worked there knew who the investigators were,” he said. “When he asked them to leave, they left.”

The incident is being investigated by the sheriff’s office Internal Affairs unit, Nelson said.

Dillman contends that the 911-call tape, which recorded his daughter and wife telling police they do not know who is beating him, should exonerate him of the charges. But Dillman said San Leandro police stymied his requests for the 911 recording for about nine months until he made a personal plea to Chief Sandra Spagnoli.

Spagnoli made the tape available to him within a few days, Dillman said.

“She has been a breath of fresh air here in San Leandro,” he said. “There are a lot of great officers out there, and we want them to support the community by standing up against officers who do wrong.”

Spagnoli, who has made department transparency one of her top goals since starting in January, said the missing recording was an honest mistake.

“We were not able to locate the recording after his first request because we were transitioning from an old recording system to a new one,” she said. “Moving forward, the issue on how to locate these new recordings has been resolved due to training.”

High school roundup: Tahjee Williams comes up big as McClymonds wins Oakland Section championship

With the crowd chanting M-V-P, McClymonds High’s Tahjee Williams lived up to his billing.

The Oakland Athletic League’s Most Valuable Player made several big plays down the stretch as the Warriors rallied past Oakland 52-49 to win the Oakland Section boys basketball championship game Thursday at Merritt College.

“It gave me that extra push to get my team the victory,” Williams said of the chants from the standing-room only crowd.

Williams, a senior guard who scored a game-high 21 points, made his biggest plays when the Warriors (20-7) were trailing 49-44 with less than 2½ minutes to play. He picked up a steal and went coast to coast for a layup. He was fouled and made the free throw to cut the deficit to two.

Moments later, Williams picked off another pass and that led to a 3-pointer by Mike Walker to give Mack a 50-49 lead with 1:59 to go.

“Tahjee’s been big for us all year,” Mack coach Brandon Brooks said. “This is his first year playing varsity basketball. He’s still in the learning stages, but he’s so talented and athletic, I’m just blessed to have him on the floor.”

Oakland (17-11) still had opportunities. On two occasions, the Wildcats were fouled and went to the line to shoot a one-and-one, but missed the front end.

Mack also missed the front end of a one-and-one with 30 seconds left and Oakland secured the ball. The Wildcats called a timeout with eight seconds to go, still trailing by a point.

Meshawn Beard got the ball at the top of the key and drove, but his high-arcing shot missed. Walker secured the rebound with two seconds left and made two free throws to ice the game.

Oakland now must beat KIPP King, champion of the Bay Area Charter School Athletic Conference, Saturday at 2 p.m. at Oakland Tech to earn a berth to the CIF Northern Regional playoffs. Mack has secured its NorCal bid and will find out Sunday if it will be selected to the Open Division or remain in Division I.

Girls basketball

McClymonds 47, Oakland Tech 40: The Warriors used long-range shooting to gain a first-quarter lead and never trailed to make history in the Oakland Section title game at Merritt College.

Warriors coach Dennis Flannery said it had been at least 37 years since the McClymonds girls squad had won a section title.

“We’re part of history,” said McClymonds senior Ahjahna Coleman, who had two 3-pointers in a key first-quarter run and finished with 11 points.

The Warriors (25-3) had four 3-pointers in the first quarter, with the last of them by Gabby Gaines giving them a 16-8 lead in the final minute of the quarter. McClymonds had eight 3-pointers in the game, three each by Gaines and Coleman.

Oakland Tech (21-6) rallied from a 17-point deficit in the third quarter and cut McClymonds’ lead to 44-40 with 16 seconds left on a basket by Ameela Li. But Romanalyn Inocencio hit a free throw on the ensuing possession, and Gaines hit two free throws with one second left.

Oakland Tech now must beat KIPP King, champion of the BACSAC, Saturday at noon at Oakland Tech to earn a berth to the Northern Regional playoffs.

San Francisco Opera will be beaming a free performance of “Carmen” to the giant screen at AT&T ballpark on July 2, but this particular real-time transmission from War Memorial Opera House comes with a boldface “please note” warning:

“This production contains violence, nudity and suggestive behavior. Parental discretion advised.”

That’s because this iteration of Bizet’s popular 1875 opera about the sultry Gypsy temptress who ruins a soldier’s life and career (and gets murdered in return) is the creation of controversial European director Calixto Bieito, who will be making his U.S. debut with this production when it opens at War Memorial on May 27. Set in 1970s Spain in the waning days of the Franco regime, the production features two casts, with mezzo-soprano Irene Roberts as the doomed Carmen and tenor Brian Jagde as her desperate Don Jose on the night of the simulcast.

The performance time is 7:30 p.m., but doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for those who have registered online first at — a full half-hour before they are thrown open to the public. Registration, we are told, is already running higher than for all previous Opera at the Ballpark transmissions.

Let’s start with a bit of vital housekeeping:

As many know, the Hotline’s parent website,, recently moved to a subscription model. I’m delighted to announce that I’ve secured a special rate for Pac-12 Hotline readers: 12 cents per day for 12 months (for new subscribers).

Your subscription will help support Hotline coverage of the conference — not just the players, coaches and games but the important off-the-court issues like conference finances and the future of the Pac-12 Networks.

Please consider subscribing today. Click here for the Hotline discount. Thanks very much for all the support.

Now for our weekly assessment of Pac-12 news, quasi-news and (occasional) non-news …

Rising: Arizona State’s moment.

This is it, folks. Tonight, 6 p.m. (PT), in what should be a packed Wells Fargo Arena.

This is the latest best chance for Sun Devil basketball to claim its own identity, to carve out a piece of the crowded Phoenix pro sports market, to step out of Arizona’s shadow, to lock up an NCAA berth and to give fans reason to come back to Wells Fargo … not only for the next homestand but for next season, as well.

No pressure.

The timing couldn’t be much better for the home team, either:

After their January stumbles, the Sun Devils seemingly have regained their legs and their rhythm while Arizona lurches about, its game-to-game fate at the mercy of a spotty dedication to defense.

Bobby Hurley is oh-fer against Sean Miller.

The Wildcats have the hammer raised, once again.

This time, it will miss the mark.

ASU wins, handily.

Rising: Pac-12 Networks’ priorities.

The Pac12Nets basketball studio show is hitting the road and will broadcast live from the conference tournament in Las Vegas.

Up arrow

If the immediate reaction to that nugget is something along the lines of, ‘They haven’t been live from Las Vegas all these years?’ your confusion would be forgiven.

Yes, the studio shows should have been in Vegas all these years — the tournament is only the marquee athletic event on the Pac-12 calendar.

(Four days of hoops with every school represented beats one day of two teams in the Football Championship Game.)

But inexplicably, the studio shows were broadcast from Pac12Nets HQ in San Francisco while the tournament unfolded at the MGM arena.

Kudos to Mark Shuken, the new Pac12Nets president, for recognizing the need to move the shows to Vegas.

The change lends legitimacy to the networks, makes for a better overall product and sends a message that men’s basketball is a priority.

That hasn’t always been clear in the past, with either of the major sports.

Rising: Washington’s postseason perch

Last weekend’s reveal of the current top-16 seeds, courtesy of the selection committee, brought indisputably good news for one Pac-12 team: The Huskies.

Although not one of the 16, the Huskies are a prime beneficiary of the committee’s apparent emphasis on high-quality wins — Quadrant 1 wins — to the extent that they matter more than other metrics (SOS, losses, etc).

The Huskies have one-two-three-four-five Quadrant 1 victories: Kansas (road), Arizona (home), Arizona State (home), USC (road) and Colorado (road).

That collection should stack up nicely when compared to Q1 wins by other teams contending for berths on the No. 9-12 seed lines. (The selection process, remember, is entirely relative.)

If the committee treats the entire at-large field next month as it treated the top-16 seeds last weekend, the Huskies are in exquisite shape.

Falling: L.A. bubble trouble

At the other end of the Quadrant 1 spectrum, we find USC and UCLA.

Both are scrambling to make the field, largely because of a dearth of the very wins that support Washington’s candidacy.

Down arrow

The Trojans have just two Quadrant 1 victories, over Middle Tennessee State and New Mexico State.

(Hey, a Q1 is a Q1.)

The Bruins have taken a different route to the same end, beating bluebloods Kentucky and Arizona but owning just two Q1s nonetheless.

What’s more, UCLA has a single road win (Arizona) over a top-150 opponent.

There is polish available for both resumes, however.

The L.A. school visit the Mountains next week, collide in the Galen Center for the finale, then encounter neutral-court opportunities at the Pac-12 tournament.

Falling: Aaron Holiday’s buzz

The Monday edition of the Hotline newsletter addressed Holiday’s omission from the list of 10 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nations’ top point guard.

Wednesday brought another example of award committees overlooking Holiday, who just might be the Pac-12 Player of the Year.

He was not on the 30-player, late-season watch list for the Naismith Award (national player of the year).

Arizona’s Deandre Ayton is included, understandably.

Arizona State’s Tra Holder is included, understandably.

Arizona’s Allonzo Trier is included … d’oh.

From the Hotline’s corner of the galaxy, there is no standard by which Trier is more deserving than Holiday of consideration for the Naismith — for any award, for that matter.

Holiday has been more productive and more efficient. He has been vastly superior to Trier defensively, and he has been far more effective in elevating the play of his teammates.

With both the Cousy and Naismith, Holiday’s absence is rooted in the lack of preseason hype stemming from his subordinate role last season. The award committees, unfortunately, haven’t adjusted.

If it seems like the Hotline is driving the bus for Holiday, well, yeah: I am.

He should be added to the list of finalists for the Cousy, he should be added to the list of semifinalists for the Naismith and, depending on the next three weekends, he potentially should be at the top of the list in Pac-12 POY voting.

Falling: Stanford’s QB depth

The report that quarterback K.J. Costello will be limited in spring practice, courtesy of’s Bruce Feldman, undoubtedly carried significance for those familiar with Stanford’s depth chart.

As of this moment, the Cardinal has two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster.

One, Costello, has a hip injury.

The other, Davis Mills, is recovering from a knee injury.

That leaves the Cardinal without a healthy scholarship quarterback for spring practice and with only one healthy QB of any sort: walk-on Jack Richardson.

Six-and-a-half months from the season opener, the situation is more unusual than it is alarming for the Cardinal. (How many teams ever find themselves completely devoid of healthy scholarship QBs?)

But it’s noteworthy, in part because Costello, who had limited starts in 2017, needs all the repetitions he can get.

And if the injuries linger into August, it will be time for alarm.

Recoilless Rifles

Recoilless Rifles brought about portable, large-caliber direct firepower at the infantry level.

The recoilless rifle was first seen in a practical example just prior to World War 1 (1914-1918) where it emerged as the Davis Gun of the United States Navy. The recoilless gun received its name from its inherent design where some of the produced propellant gasses were exited from the rear of the weapon, reducing some of the recoil effect. Despite the use of a rifled or smoothbore barrel, the generic name of "recoilless rifle" has now evolved to refer to both types of designs - despite not be technically correct in identifying the latter.

There are a total of 15 Recoilless Rifles in the Military Factory. Entries are listed below in alphanumeric order (1-to-Z). Flag images indicative of country of origin and not necessarily the primary operator.

Driver wakes to find gang of ten masked men stealing large number of TVs from back of his lorry

Share this article

A sleeping lorry driver was woken when a gang of about ten masked men broke into his vehicle and stolen a large number of TVs.

Police are appealing for witnesses following the theft from the lorry in Bedford Road, Husborne Crawley, on Wednesday, October 25.

Between 3am and 3.30am, the driver was asleep in the cab when he was woken by noises coming from the trailer.

Approximately ten offenders wearing black clothing and balaclavas forced entry to the rear of the lorry, removed the property from the trailer using a forklift and moved it to another vehicle.

A large number of Panasonic TVs were stolen.

Community Crime Investigator Gary Maxey said: “This was a well organised and brazen theft and we would like to hear from anyone who has any information about this incident, or has been approached by someone selling Panasonic TVs.”

Police are also reminding lorry and van drivers to always secure the back of their vehicles, even when they are inside them, in order to reduce the risk of theft.

If you have any information about this incident contact Bedfordshire Police on 101 quoting reference JH/46175/2017. Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Planar Manhattan local minimal and critical networks

Alexandr O. Ivanov, Hông Vân Lê, and Alexey A. Tuzhilin

Contact the author: Please use for correspondence this email.
Submission date: 06. Jul. 1999
Pages: 60
published in: European journal of combinatorics, 23 (2002) 8, p. 949-967
DOI number (of the published article): 10.1006/eujc.2001.0561

The present work is devoted to the investigation of branching extremals, i.e., extremal networks, of the Manhattan length functional. Recall that the Manhattan length of a straight segment in formula4 is defined as the sum of the lengths of the segment projections to the Cartesian coordinate axis. It turns out that in the case of Manhattan length functional the class of local minimal networks is wider than the one of critical networks. The main aim of the present work is to describe the difference between these classes.

RARA-AVIS: the language of Hard Boiled

From: BaxDeal@aol.com
Date: 09 Jul 2000

ultimately whether or not non-Americans are capable of producing hard-boiled material goes back to our never-ending discussion on what hard-boiled is.
  if it is indeed merely a question of prose, then yes, the fact that Americanese tends to be clipped and slangy lends itself to that argument.
  but if hard-boiled is the by-product of attitude, and I for one am a strong proponent of this idea, then I see no reason why even Martians can't produce decent hard-boiled.

RARA-AVIS: Get Carter

From: billha@ionet.net
Date: 10 Oct 2000

Looks like no one is actually going to see the new "Get Carter," so I'll quote from a review from today's Dallas Morning News. The headline is
"Stallone slums it in 'Carter,'" and the film is immediately compared to Mel Gibson's Payback as another film based on a old "seedy crime yarn" that will make money. However, the protagonist comes to a different end than in the original (oops, spoiler). The writer (Chris Vognar) observes, "Suffice it to say that nihilistic climaxes just don't play well in this brand new century." Michael Caine has a cameo in this film.

Still, the reviewer goes on, the new version of Carter "isn't half as bad as it could have been, and nowhere near low enough to hide from the press (which Warner Bros. did anyway)." Stallone "shapes the role to his limited range and makes the most of the film's world-weary tone."

Vognar ends by urging one and all to rent the "real deal" (the original) in order to properly appreciate the remake--both for what it fails to do and what it gets right.

Now if I could just find an original to rent, I'd almost be tempted to go.

Having not read "Dividend on Death", I have to say that the scene sounds dramatically plausible and necessary, when Spenser makes food only for making food, not as a part of the plot.

Oddly enough, I've been reading the Hokes and just finished SWIPE tonight also. Until the last forty pages the book could almost be a straight comic novel. about Hoke dealing with his midlife crisis and the people he encounters. Louden's explanations to Pop are hilarious. There are so many good passages I'd have to quote a quarter of the book.

I read COCKFIGHTER and BURNT ORANGE HERESY a couple of years ago. If they were films they would be independents. MIAMI BLUES would be major studio. Afterwards the series becomes more idiosyncratic and interesting. Hoke is not your normal cop -protagonist.

A couple of things-- People asked about HEIDI. The incident that propels much of the plot is a young girl French kissing a man old enough to be her grandfater. Could there be a connection? Also, MIAMI BLUES with its villian subjected to wierd injuries. It made me think of the Hiaasen book where the villain winds up carrying a dead fish that that swallowed much of his arm. I know both Willeford and Hiaasen worked for the Miami Herald. Were they friendly enough that Willeford helped Hiaasen in his first few books? Mark

Surely there are no truly hardboiled stories that dwell on cooking, beyond quick meals at diners and sumptuous feasts laid on by corrupt city bosses. Haven't people here made an inverse relationship between Spenser's toughness and his cooking?
