Long-Dead Critters Resurrect Themselves
2008-10-14 09:59:00 Always great to report news of critters rising from the dead.Debbie Martyr is a woman who has been working for some time in and around Kerinci-Seblat National Park in Sumatra, trying to come up with evidence for the Orang-Pendek, a new species of ape. While doing this, she came across evidence of the Sumatran muntjac, last seen in 1930 and long since declared extinct. It was captured in a hunter's snare. Muntjacs are known as "barking deer" but I don't know much about them otherwise.A Sumatran muntjac, thought extinct for 78 years, rediscovered in a national park in Sumatra. This one was caught in a snare, so they could capture it and study it. Too bad the Sumatran rainforest is being destroyed at an incredible pace.A species of Harlequin frogs (actually called Andersson's Stubfoot Toad), thought extinct for over a decade, have been rediscovered in a small population near EcoMinga?s Rio Zuñaca Reserve in Ecuador. It was last seen in 1937 and was declared extinct long ago.A photo ...

Long Depression was FDR?s Fault
2008-10-08 05:49:00 -By Warner Todd Huston I have for years been saying that Franklin D. Roosevelt prolonged the Great Depression with his anti-capitalist, anti-American New Deal polices. Looks like some professors at UCLA agree with me. “President Roosevelt believed that excessive competition was responsible for the Depression by reducing prices and wages, and by extension reducing employment and demand ...

Some Green Polar Bears and Long Necked Geese,Some Humpty Backed Camels and
2008-10-06 10:32:00 A small article in The Japan Times newspaper September 24 page 3 caught my attention.Apparently visitors to Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens here in Nagoya are "shocked by the colour" of the polar bears.The polar bears are no longer white after swimming in a pond this summer with an overgrowth of algae.The bears are expected to return to their natural colour when the algae growth subsides in November according to a zoo offical quoted in the article.Curiosity aroused I went along to the Zoo yesterday morning.I must state from the outset Im not a great fan of zoos and this one in particular I find depressing.I can block out the howls of some distressed feline creatures or the cringing,cowering birds that sit in the shadows of their cells.But its hard to ignore the general down at heel air that pervades the whole area.Closed,under repair toilet blocks,missing tiles,faded,chipped paint.Once at the polar bear enclosure I notice that staff have put up a folder of photos and an explan...

Congress approves Metro long-term federal funding
2008-10-02 15:05:00 The U.S. Senate approved a bill late Wednesday that authorizes up to $1.5 billion over a ten year period to maintain basic maintenance of the Metro subway and bus system. The U.S. House had earlier approved the bill that includes the Metro funding, wrapped in an omnibus rail safety package. President Bush is expected to formally sign the measure.Federal funding for Metro will be contingent on the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia each dedicating $50 million per year for Metro. D.C. and Maryland have no problems providing such funds but the authorization for Virginia support has become wrapped up in the state's ongoing transportation dispute. The Washington Post notes though that Virginia is required by state law to match federal transport money.Continued funding for Metro is an obvious essential for the effective daily transport of the local federal workforce so there was a legitimate interest in federal funding of the system. The efforts of local congressmen especially t...

Washington Redskins face long odds in Dallas showdown
2008-09-28 19:54:00 Despite running off two straight wins in hard-fought fashion, the Washington Redskins face long odds in week four's encounter at the Dallas Cowboys. The NFC East leaders have run off three straight dominant wins to become the consensus best NFL team to date, standing as 11 point favorites against Washington in Texas Stadium.Aside from the Redskins facing the prospect of a seemingly unbeatable dvision foe, they also have to make the adjustments to cope with star defensive end Jason Taylor. The former Miami Dolphins superstar was lost by injury for an indeterminate length of time, ending his consecutive game streak in the process.Not to repeat the obvious but Washington will need to place at its best to have any realistic hope of a late afternoon win. Start time is 4:15 p.m. EDT on WTTG/FOX/5 & WTEM/980 radio._________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-___________________________...-

Core long-term plays on China
2008-08-26 07:00:00 "Investing in China is about picking the right segments of the economy and the companies that will make it for the long haul," notes Neil George (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2302). In Personal Finance (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2302), the advisor explains, "Our strategy for investing involves sticking to a handful of core strategic areas, where we've picked a collection of stocks in key industries." Here, he looks at some favorite ideas."The Chinese economy is large, amounting to approximately $3.6 trillion annually, and it's expanding at a rate of 10%. "Industrial production, the heart of the economy, is gaining at a rate of 16.3% a year and is keeping a transforming labor force fully engaged; unemployment is a scant 4%. And retail sales are climbing at a hefty rate of more than 23%. "All of this comes at a price: Inflation is a biting 7%-plus. Pollution is another economic stressor.

2008-08-18 07:00:00 "A changing of the guard is upon us," notes technician Richard Rhodes (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2287). In his The Rhodes Report (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2287), he explains his shift to go long the energy sector while shorting financials."Technically, the broader bearish head & shoulders pattern in the Wilshire 5000 remains in place; thus the long-term downtrend remains in place and all rallies are considered countertrend moves."Moreover, many indices have now returned to major overhead resistance levels that are consistent with a risk-reward for returning to an aggressive short position. "We’re going to a long Energy position, which we consider oversold while also taking a short position in financials."The Bear Stearns takedown marked the low for the financials in terms of market cap at $270 billion, which was broken as concerns about Fannie and Freddie came to the forefront.

'Autopilot' portfolio for long-term investors

The expert on dividend reinvestment plans and editor of The DRIP Investor (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2249) offers a 10-stock "autopilot" portfolio that is diversified among 10 high quality dividend-paying stocks and requiring a monthly investment of under $500."If I’ve learned anything in the more than a quarter of a century of following the markets, it is this fact — buying stocks when you know you should (i.e. during sharp down moves) is really difficult. Our heads says we should; after all, substantial market downturns create the best values."But our emotions usually take control, thus making it very difficult to pull the trigger and put money into the market when stocks are falling."That’s why I’ve alw...
Oberweis on oil: A long-term overview
2008-08-07 07:00:00 Though best inown for his expertise in assessing small cap growth stocks, Jm Oberweis Jr. (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2248) is also a top-notch analyst and money manager with keen insights on macroeconomic events.Here, the editor of The Oberweis Report (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2248) takes a look at the fundamentals and psychology underlying the oil markets, offering a look at the likely long-term outlook for oil and select oil service stocks."Look no further than the crude oil market for a case study in price volatility and rapidly changing investor sentiment. One month ago, in the face of $147 crude oil, the bulls were stampeding and brazenly promoting price targets of $200, $250, or more."Politicians were assailing the dreaded 'speculator,' likely because it’s easier to blame a fictional villain than look in the mirror and accept responsibility for contributing to an inept (or arguably non-existent) national ener...
Long commute? Good-bye O.C.
2008-08-06 09:05:00 If the folks at RREEF Research are right, O.C. may face an unanticipated challenge in attracting homeowners and tenants in the future: long commutes and lack of public transit. RREEF, the publishing arm of Institutional Real Estate, Inc., analyzed economic trends over the next five years and concluded that high gasoline prices, rising inflation and a declining dollar would lead to major behavioral changes that don’t bode well for suburban parts of O.C. Among the changes: “Long distance commutes have become costly, particularly for lower and mid-level employees. A short automotive commute, a commute by public transport, and even a walking or bicycling commute has become more appealing. Thus, demand will increase for residential locations with good access to employment centers and will decrease for peripheral suburban bedroom communities that are poorly served by transit.” Experts already have suggested that a tight rental market in North County may not just be ...
Chinese Government Promises Olympics Safe.... Jihadist Threaten Year Long A
2008-08-05 18:23:00 Jihad Watch has some excellent commentary on this story.And the Chinese probably can guarantee this, because -- as far as I know -- unlike Western countries they don't play politically correct games allowing Muslims who have not been adequately vetted (or vetted at all) access to high-level law enforcement and security operations.More from Times Online:Islamic separatists in western China are executing a carefully laid plan to sabotage the Beijing Olympics and make 2008 a ?year of mourning?, a senior Chinese official claimed today ? a day after a devastating attack that killed 16 policemen in the desert city of Kashgar.In the first official response to the attacks, Shi Dagang, a senior Communist Party official in Kashgar, said that China faced a long struggle against terrorism perpetrated by local and foreign separatists seeking to establish an independent state of East Turkestan in the Muslim-dominated Xinjiang province.?Since last year, East Turkestan forces have tried to launch ...

UPDATE: Monstrous Creature of No Known Breed Washes Ashore Near Long Island
2008-08-04 00:11:00 The image above was apparently taken of a mysterious creature that washed ashore recently in Montauk, Long Island (now alliteratively dubbed the "Montauk Monster"). My first thought was, Oh, that?s a Photoshopped faux-rat. The only references I can find of it online are some blogs, replete with jokes, others are suggesting it's viral marketing for a site called CryptidsAreReal.com. So I have no evidence of whether this is dubious or ominous.From time to time, unusual and unidentifiable creatures do wash up on an occasional shore, as documented here.Look closely at the photo, though. Are those things arms/Or is they legs? Is that a beak on the snout and a long, plump, rodent-like body? Aren?t rats often the subjects of animal testing? Or what about a skinned raccoon (as shown in the photo below).What all makes the story less curious and more frightening is that there does happen to be a ?Bio-Safety Level 4 (BSL-4) research facility on nearby Plum Island. The BSL-4 conducts secretive...
