ACI-NA warns about declining US airport infrastructure
Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) president Greg Principato warned that the US is “at risk [of] being turned into a feeder system for the global aviation network” because its infrastructure is falling behind much of the rest of the world.

US ‘shoots itself in the foot’ suspending Open Skies Treaty with Russia – retired general
America's 2019 defense budget has suspended US-Russia ties under the milestone Open Skies Treaty, designed to build trust and reduce tensions. The US could go even further on the heels of an anti-Russia frenzy, an analyst told RT.
Donald Trump has signed the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, one part of which blocked funding for US commitment to Open Skies Treaty with Russia. The landmark accord, signed after the end of the Cold War, has effectively been suspended until the president certifies to Congress that penalties have been imposed on Russia for what the law said were treaty violations by Moscow.
A Russian military expert has provided his take on what to expect from the US given this recent move. Evgeny Buzhinsky, retired Lt Gen and Board Director at international security NGO PIR-Center, suggested the US suspended Open Skies cooperation due to their ageing Air Force jets capable of flying observation missions.
“We’ve built two new Open Skies-capable jets fitted with digital equipment, the Tupolev Tu-214ON, but they still use old ones,” he said, adding, “the Americans don’t like finding themselves in a flawed situation.”
He explained Washington is not actually walking away from the Open Skies Treaty. What the US military will do is cease requesting observation flights over Russia, while at the same time rejecting similar requests from Russian counterparts.
“They could do anything on the back of this anti-Russian hysteria, they could shoot themselves in the foot or head,” he suggested.
A draft version of the 2019 NDAA would have also jeopardized US commitment under the landmark Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). Signed back in 2010, the agreement ensures strategic parity between the two nuclear superpowers.
Under the treaty, each side is allowed to possess no more than 800 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles and strategic bombers in total, while the designated number of deployed nuclear warheads is limited to 1550 for each side. The treaty also requires that Moscow and Washington exchange information about their nuclear arsenals.
“Republican administrations are generally against any arms control since George W. Bush,” Buzhinsky noted. He added the Pentagon has consistently opposed walking away from the nuclear arms treaty which expires in 2021: “The American military got used to exchanging information, they inspect [Russian missile sites], and they will have difficulty living with [the agreement] being dismantled.”
“Let’s wait and see,” Buzhinsky added. “Let’s see what happens after the midterm elections. If everything goes like it does today, surely they will not prolong it.” However, an all-out arms race is unlikely, he thinks, as neither US or Russia has yet lost all common sense.
“Back in 1960s… both sides realized there’s no sense of destroying the globe ten times, one time would be enough,” he finished.

These are by far the best treats we have come across! They are so fun to bake, the kids love being able to join in & we love that they can partake! The process is so simple & zero mess. Our pups won’t leave are side because they know what’s coming. They love these treats & we love feeding them knowing they are good for them. Only the best for our mastiffs! Thank you so much for coming up with such a cool way to show our pups we love them through food! 😊
Ella loves the treats! I should have made smaller batt because she can’t eat all of them before they expire. The next one I will try this.
My four pugs and Rottweiler all love these snacks! The moment I pick up the container they will wait patiently while I prepare them and they cool off after baking. They love them so much that they all sit without me even asking them to! These make the perfect gifts too!
These guys line up to get their treat. The minute they see the container they sit and wait patiently.
Easy to make and obviously delicious. The hardest part is waiting for them to bake. :-)
My mini goldendoodle loves the chicken & sweet potato. When I start squeezing the batter she's there sniffing! Then when they're baking she's in and out of the kitchen with her nose sniffing the oven smells. She knows what's baking and she's ready for the tasting!!
I made a batch of peanut butter and banana treats for my dogs and the preparation was easy and flawless. The packaging was well thought out and came with everything you needed. I will absolutely order more for gifts and special occasions!

MANCHESTER HAS BLOCKED ALL APPEALS AND APPLICATIONS FOR A FACTORY RECORDS EXHIBITION IN 2019October 4, 2017
Word on the street is … that Manchester has blocked all appeals and applications for a FACTORY RECORDS exhibition in 2019 the 40th anniversary of the labels launch
Factory Records was a groundbreaking innovative Manchester-based British independent record label, that crossed over between punk, indie and dance was started in 1978 by Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus, and featured several prominent musical acts on its roster such as Joy Division, New Order, A Certain Ratio, The Durutti Column, Happy Mondays, Northside, and (briefly) Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and James.
Once upon a time everyone came to Manchester for the new music the vibes but now Manchester is telling the people to turn the music down (Anthony H Wilson )
Colin [Col] Gibbins an avid Factory Records collector has amassed the entire back catalogue of Factory released tunes and memorabilia has tried in vain to secure a premises to host an exhibition to commemorate the 40th anniversary, as all the cities doors are being politely slammed shut even after appreals to MOSI, The Whitworth, Manchester Art Gallery and many more besides!
Colin want’s to show his massive Factory Records collection on a permanent basis but has yet to find any support in the great city that he and all this great music came from.
The time is now Manchester not many people will be around for the 50th anniversary and as Colin say’s
”New York and London are calling, ……Manchester, are you listening?
Show your support for Col by sharing this post and spreading the word loud and far!


Linda Fabiani MSP for East Kilbride spoke at the recent public meeting in the Council Chambers in East Kilbride organized by the Communication Workers Union to oppose the proposed franchising of the East Kilbride Crown Post Office.
Following the meeting Linda said:
“East Kilbride is Scotland’s largest town and for the Post Office to suggest that our town does not warrant a Crown Post Office in the Town Centre is ridiculous. Our Crown Post Office is an asset to the Town Centre and is always busy – if we lose this facility the nearest Crown Post Office would be in Motherwell!”
“The turnout at the meeting showed just how angry and concerned the people of East Kilbride are about this, and it is absolutely imperative that our community rallies to oppose this. The CWU will of course keep up the struggle on behalf of the employees and the public, and I know that, for example, the Elderly Forum will be very vocal as it affects so many of their members and those they represent. The Petition being sent to Westminster should be only the start of our campaign.
“The Post Office and the Westminster Government should be considering the needs of the residents of East Kilbride and investing in the Crown Post Office – it is in a prime location and I am sure could be used to much greater advantage.

Prep for a Winning Gambling Session with these Fun, Mindful Activities
Gambling is meant to be a fun pastime, but it’s not like other forms of entertainment. You don’t go to the movies with the hope of getting your ticket price back. No one hopes to win back the expense of a ski trip, and then some. We do these things because they are fun, and we accept the cost as reasonable value for the degree of entertainment we’re getting. But gambling is different.
Take casino games for example. They are a lot of fun. But we don’t just play for fun. We also hope to win back some of the money we spend on those games. We know we might now win a dime, but we also know there’s potential to win a large amount – perhaps even a life-changing amount!
It’s not just about luck, either. Some games are 100% chance, like the ever-industrious slot machines that line the walls of every casino from here to Macau, China. But others allow players to invoke some degree of skill. These include games like blackjack, pai gow poker, video poker, and Texas hold ’em. And sometimes, it’s not just about the strategies we employ, but the attitude with which we enter the game.
Having a good physical and mental aura is extremely important when playing casino games. A positive attitude can go a very long way. If you’re in a bad mood, you’re not going to have a good time anyway. And if things aren’t going your way, they will only seem to get worse as your mood declines. Thus, it is only recommended to gamble when you’re in a positive state. With that in mind, here are five ways you can prepare yourself for a positive gambling aura.
Ways to Prep for a Winning Gambling Session
I’ve carefully hand-picked a variety of activities that are not difficult, and are proven to induce positivity in physical and/or mental status. Some of these may be things you already enjoy; things you had no idea could have such a positive impact on your gambling sessions.
#1 Meditation and Mindfulness
Many cultures have been enjoying the benefits of meditation for centuries. It’s a known fact that meditation can reduce stress and anxiety, inducing a state of contentment, if not sheer bliss. It may seem standard to meditate in a seated position from the quiet comfort of your own home, but it can also be enjoyed outdoors, and from a standing position. With such beauty and grace in Canada’s outdoors, unless it’s dead of winter, I would strongly encourage it.
The ancient Chinese martial art of Yi Quan teaches students to meditate while standing up. The body can be held in various positions, all requiring all muscles to be relaxed, joints open, with breathing slow, deep, and even. Tai Chi is another ancient form of meditation, wherein slow movements open the chakras and invoke a feeling of peace.
Mindfulness is a similar technique in which one meditates on the manifestation of their desires. It is, quite literally, the act of being mindful of what you desire most. One can be mindful of their attitude to maintain positivity, just as one can be mindful of making smart decisions at the blackjack table.
#2 Physical Fitness and Exercise
Anyone who has spent any time exercising understands the positive energy it generates. Not many people run a mile or more every morning because they love the physical act of running. They do it because they love the feeling it gives them after completing the run. It’s almost like a drug, releasing an abundance of mood-enhancing endorphins. It’s the reason so many people go for a run to start their day. Until you experience it, you can’t possibly understand it. It’s not for everyone, mind you, but don’t knock it ‘till you try it.
If running’s not for you, that’s okay. There are many other forms of exercise that induce a similar attitude-boosting adrenaline rush. It could be as simple as 1–15 minutes of squats and lunges, push-ups and sit-ups. Any quick workout you can get in, as opposed to a finger-workout of tapping and swiping on your mobile phone, is a good thing. It will help you physically and emotionally, and can help maintain a good, upbeat attitude when placing your favorite casino bets.
#3 Reading (Plus Audiobooks and Podcasts)
Far too many people take reading for granted. I feel like those who don’t enjoy reading, never found the right books. I myself hated reading until I was a teenager. Then I discovered a book called Dragons of Autumn Twilight, by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. It was the first book in a series called the Dragonlance Chronicles, and it sparked many more years of reading pleasure.
I’m not plugging the book, or the series, mind you. I’m simply stating that it takes the right book to spark an interest in reading. Once that spark ignites, reading takes you to a whole new plane of imagination. Plus, it stimulates a variety of benefits for your brain.
Reading keeps your brain active and supports healthy memory function. It improves your attention span and ability to focus. It also improves your sleep quality; something so many of us could benefit from today. Best of all, there is a plethora of educational materials available to read. Not only is it benefiting your overall brain health, you can read about the best gambling strategies from real pros who’ve made a living on the felt.
If you don’t have time to sit down with a book, there are audiobooks you can listen to, as well. Audiobooks are recordings of other people reading books. A lot of people choose to listen to audiobooks during their daily commute, but you can listen anytime, so long as you’re able to keep up with the story.
Podcasts are another great option. You can listen to people talking about subjects that interest you. If you enjoy a good mystery, fictional crime-solving podcasts are especially popular. I’m a personal fan of Daniel Negreanu’s DAT Poker Podcasts.
#4 Watch Movies and Videos
If reading a book just doesn’t do it for you, there are benefits to watching movies and even Youtube videos, too. There are many feel-good movies out there that can boost your mood, just as there are countless education videos designed to teach you everything from how to play video poker, to how to change the oil in your automobile. Whatever knowledge you seek, there’s a Youtuber out there willing to teach it.
So sit back with your favorite comedy classic, or launch the latest Microgaming slot teaser. Whatever gets you in the right frame of mind for a positive session at your local or online casino of choice.
#5 Listen to Music
Everyone has a favorite music genre, and within it, a list of most appreciated artists. I myself can listen to Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac all day, any day. But that’s just me – an old soul with a preference for smooth blues and classic rock. Whatever gets you up and moving – whether it’s Sebastian Bach or Mr. Bungle – it’s worth adding to your routine.
The right music can release positive endorphins almost as consistently as physical exercise. In fact, I would suggest combining music with some of the activities above for ultimate results. Add Enigma or Lisa Gerrard to your meditation session. Play some techno dance music while exercising. Music doesn’t go great with movies and videos, but a symphonic classical station might pair well with a good Stephen King or Danielle Steele novel.
Your ability to listen to your favorite music at a land casino might be limited. However, if you enjoy online casinos, I would suggest listening while you play to help increase the odds of a positive aura and overall winning gambling session.

Precision-Rifled Barrel Specifically Designed for Paintball
Four years in development, the Tru-Flight Rifled Barrel is making paintball history for: Extreme Accuracy,
Greater Distance, and
The CMI International Tru-Flight Barrel is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore.
This thing sucks! I literally like the stock barrel on my XTS more than this. Loud as hell, breaks fresh marb 1 out of every 4 shots, bore isn't even round-it's oval, rifling is a joke, crown looks like crap, they use what looks like powder coat to cover up the bad machining, and to top it all off the breach and treads had burrs all over them.
I somewhat salvaged the barrel, though I don't yet trust it to actually play a game with, by:
1. took the finish off with EZ-off oven cleaner
2. De-burred the breach and threads with a dremel
3. re-crowned the muzzel with a 1" ball bearing and valve
4. tapered the breach to ease the balls in
5. tried to de-bur bore with a cable squegee wrapped in
various grades of steel wool (I don't have a micro hone)
6. polished out all the machining flaws
7. rounded off the sharp edges of the muzzle break(I think
this is what was breaking the most balls)
8. re-finished it with teflon gun finish (the bake-on kind
I think its made by Birchwood Casey)
After all this work I have a huge bore paint lobber with so-so accuracy (but at least it dosen't break as much paint)
Damn, I should have got a J&J, it would have been cheaper in the long run. by the way, it was the 14"
this barrel works great on my Stingray II. Very tight pattern and good distance, a HUGE improvement over the stock barrel. I have the 14" version, which is a bit long, but it's great for sticking through bushes, and the overall intimidation factor. The black anodized finish is very durable.
This barrel is very particular about the paint it uses. Small bore, high quality paint is a MUST, or you will break a lot. Also, the inside of the barrel was not very smooth. I used some very fine steel wool and auto polishing compound to smooth the rifled edges off, and it greatly improved both the distance and paint breakage. It is also a bit combersome for tight places.
This is a good barrel for sniper types, and after polishing the inside and getting some small bore paint (Diablo), it has great accuracy and distance. If the field you play on uses medium or big bore stuff, forget it. I would recommend it as a good aftermarket barrel for the Stingray II as long as small bore paint is used.

There maybe a misconception that SCA only centers in the focuser, instead, SCA is the first and only device that performs both parallelism and centering at the same time very well. Unlike other adapters in the market that only advertise one or another.
The HoTech laser collimator separates itself from all other laser collimators with its innovative self-centering adapter technology (SCA). This mechanism allows precise and REPEATABLE installation in all brands of 1.25" and 2" telescope focusers thus provides accurate collimation. All laser collimators in the current market have one fundamental problem, slop in the adapting mechanism between the laser collimator and the telescope focuser.This problem is recognized and often discussed among astronomers but so far there has been no definite solution in the market.
No matter how tightly the tolerances machined on the laser collimator or the focuser, a small gap is required to allow installation of the laser collimator. Once the laser collimator is inserted, the required gap becomes a problem. A laser collimator is secured with one or more thumbscrews or unified compression ring. Both methods introduce very critical issues, namely inconsistant adaption from off-axis (axial) and none parallel-axis installment that instantly destroys the precision of your collimation instrument along the entire optical axis.
Our Self-Centering Adapter cleverly eliminates the focuser slop by linearly compressing the built-in rubber rings. By doing this, the diameter of the rings expands to compensate the gap.Because all rings evenly expand radially in diameter from the compression, this automatically centers the laser collimator in the focuser draw tube. And most importantly, our SCA laser collimator can be tightly installed in the focuser for a repeatable installation to provide an accurate collimation.
In summary, our SCA adapter serves three critical functions. First, its expansion rings accommodate almost all focuser's manufacturing tolerances. Second, it automatically centers the adapting laser in the focuser. Third, it provides at least two evenly distributed circular contacts on the focuser's inner tube surface preventing the adapting laser from pivoting and parallel to the focuser.Once the slop factor is taken away, you can quickly collimate your telescope in confidence to achieve perfect collimation every time.
Current Collimators' Problems The Thumbscrew Gap Adapting with Unified Compression Ring Problem Solved with SCA Technology SCA Eliminates Drawtube Slop
All drawtube have manufacturing tolerances.And it requires larger diameter to accept various eyepieces and adapters.When a standard collimator is inserted, the gap between the drawtube and the inserting device became a slop problem.The rubber rings in the SCA expand radially according to users own adjustment to fill the gaps.This makes your collimator seats firmly in your drawtube becoming part of your telescope for a secure and repeatable installation.
SCA Keeps Laser Perfectly Parallel to the Focuser
The patented multiple expanding o-rings design provides solid 360 degress even grip to the inner focuser surface keeping the adapting laser perfectly parallel to the focuser tube elimating any possible tip or tilt error from the conventional thumbscrew locking mechanism.
SCA Eliminates unstable locking from thumbscrew or unified compression ring
The optical axis is shifted when the inserting device is locked in by thumbscrew.In some cases, some poorly made unified compression ring can cause unstable tilt when locking in the drawtube due to loose tolerances between the compression ring, inner groove, and the uneven tip of the locking thumbscrew in a drawtube.The SCA adapts the collimator itself without using the thumbscrew or the unified compression ring.
SCA Accepts the Imperfection of a Drawtube
Small imperfection inside the drawtube like dents, scratches, and uneven burrs, the rubber rings compensates the errors and faithfully centers the collimator in the tube.In addition, even if the drawtube is slightly deformed in diameter, egg-shaped, the rubber rings in the SCA will compensate the differences and faithfully centers the collimator. A metal collet design will not be able to transform itself to the deformed shape to compensate the imperfection of a drawtube for a sturdy adaption.
More SCA Laser Collimator Features: Laser Engraved 45º Targeting Faceplate The targeting faceplate displays the returning laser spot with a clear visual reference during adjustment. That allows you to align your primary mirror from the rear of the telescope and eliminates traveling to the front of your scope repeatedly during collimation.
Collimating without the targeting faceplate, you will not be able to adjust the primary mirror in real time referencing the laser dot.In other words, you often get lost on which adjustment screws you used due to traveling back and forth for referencing the direction you have adjusted.This results in considerable time to complete the collimation and defeats the purpose of quick and easy laser collimation.
HoTech understands the importance of this, so the faceplate is a standard feature in our laser collimator.All astronomers deserve to have it without paying any extra! HoTech understands the importance of this, so the faceplate is a standard feature in our laser collimator.All astronomers deserve to have it without paying any extra!
Also, our faceplate viewer’s pattern is laser engraved to ensure a long lasting sharp targeting grid for best visual effects. Unlike other collimators, the target is not a sticker that will peel, or paint that can rub or chip off. We understand that you are paying for a precision instrument that is supposed to be well made.
Finest Projecting Laser Dot
Keeping the laser dot to the finest point is the key to precision collimation. But when you look closely at the laser dot from brand to brand, most laser dots appear large, not really a fine point as you imagined.This means there is guess work involved when you try to center the dot; not just centering the laser dot to the center of the faceplate, but also centering the center of the dot itself.This does not make any sense when you are trying to take the advantage of the collimated laser beam's characteristic "which has a low beam divergence, so that the beam radius does not undergo significant changes within moderate propagation distances." In other words, the laser beam size within the collimation distance (laser collimator to the primary mirror and back to the faceplate) should remain a constant fine point. As you know, most laser collimator brands are not laser manufacturers.They install an off-the-shelf laser module or pointer and align the laser in a tube without REALLY considering the user’s application, namely the operating distance for a laser beam size.HoTech has been designing and building laser modules and systems for over 20 years for various professional industries.We know exactly how a laser should work.We limit our laser beam to the finest size in the correct operating distance for optimal effect.Our understanding and experiences with the laser design permit you to have an effective and precision collimation.
Proprietary Crosshair Laser Collimator Available With our proprietary laser crosshair, user can zero-in the laser with ease during the final collimation on the secondary and the primary mirror. The crosshair model still exibits a precision laser center dot, but with a touch of four extended laser lines from the center dot. The extension lines (crosshair) of the laser dot is the most intuitive way to guide the laser pointing for an accurate adjustment. During the secondary mirror collimation, a single dot laser projecting on the approximate center of the pre-loaded donut is difficult to identify if the laser dot is exactly on the center.The crosshair laser can easily help user to adjust the secondary mirror to point the laser on the exact center with the help of the crosshair line. During the final primary mirror collimation, the returning laser dot often hides into the laser exiting hole preventing user to identify if the returning laser is at exact center of the hole. Again, the crosshair will visually guide the user to center the laser dot with ease even when the center laser dot disappears into the exiting hole.It is a very effective and essential feature to the SCA Laser Collimator in obtaining at even higher degree of accuracy with ease. Click here for a video tour on YouTube. High Accuracy Laser Alignment
Our laser collimator is well centered and aligned which are critical factors for an accurate collimation.But you will be surprised that many laser collimators in the market fail in this regard.The reason is in the design and understanding of the product itself.
We considered all aspect of parameters in our design.Parameters like the alignment mechanism, mechanical and optical structure of the laser itself, and more are taken as part of our design.For instance, some laser collimators install an off-the-shelf laser pointer in the casing.It is very cost effective (for seller), but it inherits numerous problems.In many cases, the laser pointer might not install perfectly centered in the casing due to pointer size variations and the added alignment mechanism.So the laser itself is not positioned on the true alignment point and optical axis. As the result, the laser can never be center-aligned in the enclosure.It is possible to align the laser beam parallel to the optical path but always with an offset along the optical axis.This means the laser beam is off no matter how you center adapt the laser collimator to the focuser. The result of off-centered laser will introduce astigmatism into your telescope which is similar to figure 1's scenario. Light Weight Design and All Aluminum Body Machined with High Precision CNC Many laser collimator manufacturers give users the wrong impression, “big and heavy means rugged and stable.” Instead, HoTech engineers successfully cut the unnecessary weight on the laser collimator because we understand that additional weight on a telescope (especially open structure Newtonians) will create imbalance and structure sagging. The heavier the device is, the more inertia it will have during an impact from an accidental drop.In such an accident, the inertia force can cause more damage to the internal alignment mechanism because there is more energy required to dissipate from the impact.Therefore, the lightweight design on our laser collimator makes you gain reliable precision collimation.And of course our laser collimator uses aero-space grade lightweight aluminum material and CNC machined with the tightest tolerances, then sand blasted and anodized to protect from harsh environment. Nothing has been sacrificed while you get a long lasting state-of-the-art collimation instrument. Long Lasting Battery Life By using the CR123, 3V battery as our laser power source, our laser collimator has over 65 hours of continuous use battery life time. The included CR123, 3V lithium battery operates well under a typical cold night and it has a 10 years shelf life. This is a great advantage that you don't have to worry about changing the tiny hard to find cell batteries frequently in the dark like other collimators. Collimation for your SCT Commercially made SCTs all have slight optical and mechanical alignment errors. The error typically is in the centering of the secondary mirror. As the result, when a laser is installed and emitted from the focuser, the beam will seldom return dead center, even though star testing would indicate perfect collimation. The secondary mirror (convex shape) expands the fine laser dot to a larger spot, and magnifies any axial error by about 5 times. The error of deviation for a typical well collimated SCT will return laser beam at around 0.125" to 0.250" off center. To compensate the optical and mechanical alignment errors of SCT, a different collimation approach is required in compare with Newtonain telescope. Please refer to our newly developed Advanced CT Laser Collimator to detail. Diffraction Grating Pattern Lens on our SCA Laser Collimator Since our SCA Laser Collimator is already accurate with the SCA technology, fine laser dot, and the built-in 45 degrees faceplate, there is no need to use the DFG pattern to align the primary mirror of a Newtonian telescope.The purpose of using DFG pattern is to gross alignment the primary mirror.The user aligns the primary mirror by referencing the shadow of the secondary in the projected DFG pattern on a wall, and user counts the DFG dots around the shadow to center in the shadow.This method cannot achieve accurate alignment because the gap between each dot can make a big alignment difference.At the final alignment stage, the user must bring the laser dot back to the laser exit (the center of the 45 degrees faceplate).Our built-in 45 degrees faceplate allows you to align your primary mirror from the rear of the telescope eliminating traveling to the front of your scope repeatedly during collimation like other collimators.Therefore, there is no need to use DFG lens in conjunction with our SCA Laser Collimator. "We used your 2-inch SCA collimator to help bring our 15-inch Obsession Dobsonian telescope back into service. The telescope was initially so far out of collimation that the laser beam reflected off of the primary mirror didn't even reach the secondary mirror at all. That was easily fixed and the magic of the SCA made final collimation a breeze. The star images were excellent and the telescope was enjoyed by a group of about 50 people under wonderful skies. I confess that I had never used a laser collimator before, but using the Hotech laser collimator was much easier than I had imagined. I now know that it is a fantastic tool that makes it easy to keep a telescope in tip top shape for observing." Scott Kardel - Caltech Astronomer, Palomar Observatory Public Affair

The rumor mill is abuzz with the latest Secretary of State candidate. This time it falls on State Senator Rick Metsger (D-Welches). It is hard to gauge because last cycle he flirted with a governor’s run. A Metsger run does have intriguing possibilities. Currently there are two other Democratic Primary Challengers, Sen. Vicki Walker (D-Eugene) and State Senator Kate Brown (D- Portland). Metsger has a starkly better voting record on taxes and small business issues than both Brown and Walker, which might make him appealing to the business community and trade groups which are dying for a more favorable candidate.
A three way could create an interesting split in the primary.
As is commonly known, the next Secretary of State will play a vital role in Oregon’s 10 year re-districting formula. The stakes could not be higher.

After some more research, I found that Sylvania Silverstar bulbs available in the US are not the same as Osram Silverstar that are not available in the US, but they can be bought online through powerbulbs.com; Philips Vision Plus can be bought at either powerbulbs.com or autolamps-online.com.
The standard H4 bulb for W124 low/high beams consumes 55/60 Watts and produces 1000/1650 lumens. Both Osram Silverstar and Philips Vision Plus H4s consume the same wattages but produce more lumens than standard H4 bulb to justify the plus 50% advertisement, but how much more? Now, if you look at the bottom of the Sylvania web page about Silverstar bulb, you will see that 9003ST bulb, which is the same as H4 bulb, consumes 65/72 Watts but produces only 910/1500 lumens which is less than the standard H4 bulb. Also, note that Sylvania advertises: "Upgrade to the Look of HID".
I had H7 Philips VP on '00 E430 for both high and low headlights (4 bulbs total) and H1 VP on foglamps since April 2001 and still working as of today. I also had H4 VP on Lexus LS400 at about the same time and both bulbs are still Okay. I can see both cars with Philips VP have more light on the road and the headlight looked whiter and brighter than the standard bulb.
I think Osram Silverstars (not Sylvania Silverstar) and Philips Vision Plus consume the same wattages and produce the same amount of lumens, but I do not know which one will last longer. I am ordering 2 pairs H7 Navra Ultra High Output that Daniel Stern at lighting.mbz.org claims can produces up to 2100 lumens but consumes only 65W compares with standard H7 at 1335 lumens and 55W. But it is a little expensive at $60 a pair. I will post comparison result so you can choose the bulbs fit your need in a few days.

(BBC) – Hundreds of people are expected to attend a memorial in Minneapolis for African American George Floyd, who died in police custody last month.
The death of Floyd, whose neck was pinned under a white officer’s knee, has sparked huge protests over racism and police killings of black Americans.
The tribute comes despite fears over coronavirus at large gatherings.
New charges were announced on Wednesday against all four of the now sacked officers present at Floyd’s death.
The charge against Derek Chauvin has been elevated to second-degree murder while the other three officers, previously uncharged, face counts of aiding and abetting murder.
The vast majority of demonstrations over the past eight days have been peaceful, but some have turned violent and curfews have been imposed in a number of cities.
Former President Barack Obama and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are among senior public figures who have offered their support to the protesters.
They were joined on Wednesday by former Defence Secretary James Mattis, who also attacked his former boss President Donald Trump, saying that he stoked division and had abused his authority in his reaction to the protests.
What will happen at the memorial?
The event, in the northern city of Minneapolis where Floyd died, is the first of several to honour him.
Veteran civil rights campaigner, Rev Al Sharpton, will deliver the eulogy for the two-hour service, which will start at 13:00 local time (18:00 GMT).

CLEVELAND, Ohio — 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh is one of the candidates for the Browns’ head coaching job. The team interviewed Saleh on Saturday while San Francisco was on its first-round bye. Get to know more about Saleh here.
2002-03: Defensive assistant at Michigan State
2004: Defensive assistant at Central Michigan
2005: Defensive assistant at Georgia
2006-08: Texans defensive quality control coach
2009-10: Texans assistant linebackers coach
2011-13: Seahawks defensive quality control coach
2014-16: Jaguars linebackers coach
2017-present: 49ers defensive coordinator
Why he’s a candidate
Saleh has made quite the rapid rise up the coaching ranks, from being a position coach just six years ago to leading one of the NFL’s best defenses in 2019. His unit was a big reason San Francisco was one of the biggest surprise teams in the league this season.
This season, San Francisco allowed the second-fewest yards and eighth-fewest points in the NFL. The 49ers also forced 27 takeaways, sixth most in the league.
He will be 41 at the end of January. And while he hasn’t been in the league long, he has had quite the impact in his last few stops, including in Seattle where he was part of a defensive staff that won a Super Bowl before going to Jacksonville after the 2013 season. Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated wrote back on Dec. 17 that a decision for someone to hire Saleh as a head coach “may be the biggest no-brainer of the coaching cycle.”
3 things to know about Saleh
1. Saleh was a four-year starter at tight end at Northern Michigan from 1998 to 2002.He did not move into a professional playing career, instead going into coaching right away starting with Michigan State in 2002.
2. His focus on the defensive side of the football has been mostly with linebackers before becoming the defensive coordinator in San Francisco. Among the names he has worked with and helped develop in his career are DeMeco Ryans, Brian Cushing, K.J. Wright, Malcolm Smith, Bobby Wagner and Telvin Smith.
3. Saleh’s older brother, David, was a survivor of the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. David was working in the South Tower at the time of the attack and was one of the people who escaped the building before it fell. Robert Klemko wrote about it for Sports Illustrated back in 2017, and Robert explained that it was his brother’s remarkable survival that drove him to get into coaching.

Red Sox conclude workouts: Now let the games begin
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- On Thursday, the Red Sox enjoyed their last day of workouts before spring training games get underway. They’ll be taking on Northeastern on Friday, followed by a matchup with the Yankees at JetBlue Park on Saturday.
Red Sox reliever Ryan Brasier is back in Fort Myers after getting his infected pinky toe looked at in Boston.
Here’s a breakdown of everything that went on. . .
Ryan Brasier is back at Red Sox camp after getting his infected pinky toe checked out in Boston, so the full squad was here on Thursday.
WHAT WAS SAID?
Ryan Brasier on going to Boston to get infected pinky toe looked at: “I think they wanted me to go see somebody that they can keep in a little bit better contact with than down here. They wanted me to get it looked at by their guys.”
Alex Cora on the Yankees being betting favorites over the Red Sox in the AL East: “I don’t gamble. I’m not a gambling man. I don’t really pay attention to that. That’s for other people, I guess.”
WHAT WAS DONE?
Hitters took BP using both fastball and curveball machines, plus the team practiced cut-offs and worked on their sliding techniques.
Alex Cora spoke to the media after workouts.
Ryan Brasier returning to camp, spring training games getting underway tomorrow.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“It’s funny because yesterday, he said something like for a career .300 hitter, he doesn’t get too much sleep. He talks a lot about his mechanics and he’s always like, thinking about how he hits and all that. I was like 'Wow, if you hit .300 I’ll be sleeping well.' ” - Alex Cora on Dustin Pedroia.

Productivity in the Euro Area: Any Evidence of Convergence?
33 Pages Posted: 6 May 2012
Date Written: April 24, 2012
Sizable prevailing real economic disparities among countries in a currency union potentially involve costs for those countries for which the aggregate policy stance is not appropriate. This paper contributes to the literature by testing for productivity convergence among euro area countries. While no convergence can be found on the aggregate level, selected service sectors and manufacturing sub-industries indicate evidence of convergence. In a search for factors influencing productivity, investments in research and development as well as a high skill level of employees are shown to be beneficial whereas regulations constitute a burden. Consequently, euro area countries should engage in structural reforms where necessary to provide a more competitive environment, eventually facilitating economic convergence.

When I started, the recommended software was Pronterface and Slic3r, running separately to produce your model. Now, when you start printing, especially when it’s new and you’re going to change the world with it, you play around with the settings, to get the best print you can.
My first printer was a Printrbot LC Plus and came supplied with ABS. Now I have to say, ABS as a first print material is like giving someone the best, creamiest cake ever and then spending all the time they eat it telling them how fat they’re going to get. It looks fantastic to have this new, wonderful device, moving via computer, oozing a plastic thread and then watching print after print fall off the bed. Once you’ve mastered the temperatures of filament and heated bed, and maybe some ABS Juice, you finally get something… today, PLA makes that first print so much easier…. anyway, I digress..
You load Slic3r and go through the settings, you find the one that says BRIM and SKIRT and have a play with those and then you get to the support material and check the RAFT box. It sounds such a great idea, a bed of filament that your print will sit on and stick… and then, when your print finally comes to an end and you go to remove the raft…..ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. It takes as long to get a nice finish as it did to print the thing!! So from then on, rafts were relegated to the toolbox with the left-handed screwdriver and the chocolate teapot.
Now things change, new versions of Pronterface, Slic3r and the new player Repetier Host come along. Repetier uses Slic3r, but all wrapped up in a nice, one program interface (to be honest, Pronterface did the same thing, but I could never get my head around where the settings were configured). Still, rafts were not used, heated beds were used for PLA instead, to save the time of the cleaning.
Then Cura came along. Originally for Ultimakers, it soon joined the ranks of the Open Source printer controller software. Again though, not a main player in my arsenal.
Eventually, with the latest version, they added the profiles for my Printrbot machines and, to the average 3D printer, I probably seem to have more than normal but, as I help with Technical Support for them, I like to know the kind of issues people may face… Anyway, Cura is now the recommended software for Printrbot and I was having trouble printing some pins for a print I was doing so, out of shear desperation, I selected raft from the pull down box and told it to print.
Well, I wasn’t expecting what happened next. It started with an outline and then widely spaced lines in the Y direction. Then it moved to a 45 degree fine line and then a complete layer in the X direction and then, finally, another complete in the Y direction. I watched the whole thinking when’s it going to start – how many layers is this thing. And then, finally, the print finished. I took it off the bed with some trepidation and applied a bit of pressure to the first pin… it popped off, so smoothly that I dropped it! They all came off, so easily. Then I tried it with some bigger prints and, every time, the print just popped off the raft.
I have to say Cura, you’ve converted me to rafts, especially for smaller pieces that may have trouble sticking. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go… you’ll be surprised.

EAST LONGMEADOW -- Beginning in February, a strange thing started happening to East Longmeadow-based building contractor David Boyajian.
He started getting calls from people he’d met with six months before to discuss extensive remodeling projects in their homes.
“People have a little more confidence now,” Boyajian said. “They are willing to spend their money.”
That’s a welcome change for area builders, who have found themselves scrambling for work despite all those emergency house repairs made necessary by 2011’s floods, tornadoes and ice storms.
New home construction was especially hard-hit.
According the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 6,387 units of new housing, single- and multi-family, given building permits in Massachusetts in 2011. That’s down from the 7,075 building permits issued in 2010, but a far cry from the 24,000 new housing units authorized in 2005, the height of the residential building boom.
“Fortunately we had a couple of large projects going on that carried us through,” said William P. Laplante, owner of R. E. Laplante Construction, also located in East Longmeadow.
Those projects included retail, like the Kringle Candle complex in Bernardston. His crews are now building a 7,500-square-foot office building at 94 Maple St. in East Longmeadow. It’ll be home to his company as well as another rental office suites. He’s got 95 percent of the space already spoken for.
“We’ve owned the property for five years now,” he said. “We’ve held off from doing something just because of the economy.”
There will always be a market for new office space, as long as it is at a visible, high-traffic location, said Kenneth Vincunas, general manager of Development Associates in Agawam. Development Associates is the broker-developer-manager for the I-91 Professional Center just off Interstate 91 Exit 18 at Northampton, near the Clarion Hotel.
The 33,000-square-foot-medical and professional office building is 65 percent leased, Vincunas said.
The company has also moved forward with a new professional-services complex at 200 Silver St. in Agawam.
Businesses may be moving, but homeowners are not, Boyajian said. Many, through no fault of their own having bought at the top of the market, are “upside down” on their homes and owe more than that home is worth. That means they are reluctant to move and lose money on the home they own now.
“So if a new child is on the way or if they need money, they build on where they are,” Boyajian said.
Laplante said his company is currently working on about 15 renovation projects.
“They are going through and doing windows, doors and just staying where they are,” he said.
When a customer does come to Laplante to build a new home, that person tends to want a smaller home than was common in the boom years. But homes are still full of features like fancy kitchens and bathrooms, just in less space.
“People are energy conscious,” Laplante said.

I love Henry! What is not to love? He is as sweet as the chocolate bar he was named for. Even better, hands down he has the best listening ears in the house. Best of all of course is that he is so kind that I call him my cat whisperer. Really … it is just frosting on the cake that he is so appealing and cute, eh?
This Monday we will celebrate Henry’s eighth Home Coming Day. Or, as they say in rescuespeak, his Gotcha Day. Eight years since I adopted my sweet boy from CAPS. Eight years later, I no longer leave tempting bits out unattended on the counter. After eight years, Henry rarely waters anything now when I go out. In other words, we have both learned a lot as we settled into our own Happy Tail.
Pet adoption can be such an amazing experience. Above and beyond the love and devotion, there is the ever so satisfying bit about saving a life. Two lives actually …. because every adoption clears a foster or shelter slot for the next pet in need. In our case, when I adopted Henry that meant that CAPS could take another dog into care from the pound in Annapolis County.
Would it be more satisfying to adopt from a “high kill shelter” somewhere else? Well … before your heart gallops down the road, just what do you think happens to unclaimed dogs in pounds around this province? What happens to the healthy adoptable dogs in need of new homes who cannot find a rescue or shelter slot? What happens to unanticipated puppies? Unwanted kittens?
Before the keyboards catch on fire please consider this one thing. Here in Nova Scotia there are plenty of No Kill Rescues and shelters BUT there are NO open admission No Kill rescues or shelters. Not one. The only time we had an open admission shelter, they needed a gas chamber to keep up with the killing.
But I am wandering afield as I am wont to do in my meandering way. The point I am trying to make today is that Henry and I have this happy life because Henry was adopted from a reputable Nova Scotia rescue.
Why would I say that? Why be so mean?
Well … lets look at the facts, shall we?
- although I met Henry the day he came into CAPS care, he still had to go through the standard CAPS two week quarantine / assessment period. It did not matter that they knew me. Nor would there have been any question of me fostering him for that time.
- When the two week period was up, I put in my application. Did I get to take him home that day? Did they claim to have screened my application in two hours time? Of course not! It was the longest week of my life waiting to hear back.
- I did not get to meet Henry again until my application was approved .. but then
- because they were a local rescue, I was able to bring both my dogs up to meet Henry before CAPS and I committed to the adoption. AND
- If, for any reason, things had not been a success, because CAPS was right here in NS, I could have done one of two things. I could have called them for advice or .. shudder . have taken him back.
- AND of course, when I brought Henry home that day, I knew that he was health checked, vaccinated and neutered. Why? Because I had legitimate, genuine records from a Nova Scotia veterinarian. In other words, I knew that he would pose no health risks to Miss Ruby and McGuinness.
As a sidebar note to that, one of the unfortunate side effects of bringing dogs in from away is that some of them are bringing health problems into our province. Just this morning , I saw a post on Facebook outlining the health and dog aggressive behavior problems one woman was having with a dog she adopted from the south.
Does that mean that kind hearts should not try to help those trying to save lives in heartworm endemic areas? Of course not. I absolutely love my friend Joan’s suggestion that folks who want to help can donate money to southern rescuers.
Lets face it, we Nova Scotians like to think we are special, but we are not the only ones with kind hearts. There are more kind hearts throughout the States than the entire population of this province.
But .. here in the real world there are always going to be folks who insist on disregarding the advice of seasoned rescuers about bringing dogs in and adopting them out right off the truck or plane.
And that is why I believe that regulating rescues is not going to be enough.
- Legislation is needed to to protect adopters and pet owners in this province. There should be a mandatory quarantine period for all imported pets;
- Imported pets should require the same certificate of health from a Nova Scotia vet as every other pet sold or adopted in this province; and last but not least
- Rescues importing dogs should require a special license, along with mandatory adoption records to provide an auditable trail for all animals.
What time is it? It is always time to remember that there are plenty of opportunities for kind hearts to help … right here in Nova Scotia.

When Drew Riebhoff ’10 scored a prime opportunity at The Des Moines Arts Festival, he knew what to do. He simply put his Simpson education to work.
Riebhoff volunteered with the Des Moines Arts Festival as the artist relations team member. The corporate communications major says he found his passion for event planning at Simpson College. Snagging a position at one of central Iowa’s most celebrated events was the perfect way to pursue his passion.
“I saw everything from start to finish,” Riebhoff said. “We had a monthly meeting and my job was to take care of the artists and to make sure they were fed, watered and happy.”
Staying involved at Simpson through campus organizations provided Riebhoff with the necessary communication and engagement skills he needed as the artist relations team member. His fraternity was one of the main organizations teaching him how to connect with others.
“(Sigma Alpha Epsilon) was my second family away from home,” he said.
Student government and campus activities board taught him how there are always behind-the-scenes compartments to every event and organization. Riebhoff planned events such as the Stand Around and Welcome Week for Simpson, but working on the Arts Festival was the largest event in his career.
“I got to know a few of the artists very well,” he said. “It was a very unique experience because I’m a hands-on event planner.”
He knew how to provide the artists with a community oriented environment, because he had that kind of experience from his time at Simpson.
Now looking back, Riebhoff says choosing Simpson College was the best decision of his life.
“I liked how small it was,” said Riebhoff, who graduated from Melcher-Dallas High School in Iowa. “Just knowing people at Simpson, having that one-on-one with the professors and being so close to Des Moines, getting there, it was exactly what I wanted.”
Riebhoff applied to Simpson, Central College, The University of Iowa and Iowa State University. Knowing he was seeking a private, liberal arts environment, he never toured Iowa or Iowa State.
“I did visit Central,” he said. “But after my second Simpson visit, it was done.”
So what set Simpson apart?
“When you walk on campus, it felt like home at Simpson,” he said. “That’s when I knew where I wanted to go.”
When searching for a home, the surrounding people matter.
“Outside of class, professors would be like, ‘Hey Drew, how are things with campus activities board?’ or ‘Oh, I saw you guys talked about this in student government, thank you for talking about this,” he said.
Location also matters. For Riebhoff, Indianola was perfect.
“Being 20 minutes from downtown Des Moines provided me with a lot of opportunities,” he said.
Des Moines internships and volunteering opportunities were plentiful during his time at Simpson. But location was of such high importance to Riebhoff that he decided to still stay involved in the community after graduating.
Simpson taught Riebhoff to seek opportunities wherever possible. Riebhoff is now searching for more event planning opportunities throughout Des Moines. He hopes to keep his Simpson experience and connection with the Arts Festival strong.
“I’ve had people tell me, you know, I hope you’re my coordinator next year,” he said.

The perfectly imperfect photo. I found myself looking down at my wedding bands, thinking, day dreaming just in the moment. Almost 10 years with these bands, all of the trials and tribulations, joy, laughter, pain, heart break. How I have grown into myself, as a wife, mother and everything in between. The other day Jon texted me "life is a roller coaster ride..I'm thankful for my peeps". How true.
Welcome Summer. Jon and the girls got these Sunflowers for me and each one was big, bold and beautiful. Not much more you can ask for on a Sunday morning.

Innovative research has identified a gene signature that has potential to identify which patients will benefit from tamoxifen therapy. Tamoxifen is an endocrine therapy that is one of the most frequently used medications worldwide to treat breast cancer after surgery. However, even among those patients for whom tamoxifen is effective at reducing recurrence risk, many of them experience menopausal-like side effects.
A clinical trial being conducted at several high-profile centers in Canada has begun recruiting patients to investigate a new, non-surgical treatment for lower back pain caused by a contained herniated disc.

“It a very competitive award, which validates the uniqueness of this polymeric nanofilm technology. A significant merit is that the concept is adaptable to delivery of a wide range of bioactive molecules on tissue surfaces, providing a broadly applicable healthcare materials platform,” said co-founder Nicholas Abbott, PhD, Professor in Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"Stem cells offer tremendous potential, but the marketplace is saturated with unsubstantiated and sometimes fraudulent claims that may place patients at risk," write Dr. Michael T. Longaker of Stanford University Medical Center and colleagues. To date, just one stem cell procedure for cosmetic purpose has received FDA approval, after extensive evaluation.
With a new technique, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have established a new strategy to help surgeons see the entire tumor in the patient, increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome. This approach relies on an injectable dye that accumulates in cancerous tissues much more so than normal tissues. When the surgeon shines an infrared light on the cancer, it glows, allowing the surgeon to remove it.
Patients who are placed in contact isolation after their operations are at a particularly high risk for developing life-threatening blood clots, but ensuring they move around has helped curb the occurrence of venous thromboembolism in one hospital.

The Railroad Week in Review:
It's Earnings Season again at Week in Review. Please keep in mind that the goal here is always to take the long view and we're looking for those traits that make a particular equity something you want to buy and hold for longer than the next Earnings Season. That's why we use The Motley Fool "Rule Maker Ranker," a spreadsheet tool which in ten minutes will tell you if you have something worth a closer look. You can download it at www.fool.com.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE: BNI) was in town Tuesday and reported essentially flat sales, flat expenses, and a 7% drop in net income vs. 2Q98. The operating ratio remained constant at 76 and net margins decreased to 11.7% from 12.6%. Long Term debt is now $6.1 billion, up from $5.5 billion a year ago.
Ideally one looks for sales increasing faster than expenses, improved operating and net income, double-digit margins, and decreasing debt. BNI's quarter just ended wasn't much better than 2Q98, so positive trends may still be a bit away. EPS growth estimates for this year are thin, improving in 2000. The share repurchase program has kicked in again, dropping the shares outstanding by 7 mm shares or 1.4%. That's a start.
It was both educational and efficient to have Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP) and CSX (NYSE: CSX) not only in town the same day but also in the same room in back-to back sessions Thursday. Both had strong stories to tell and the parallels were quite striking. At the top of the list go the decisions of each to push operating decisions as close to where the wheel meets the rail as possible. The UNP cleanup in Houston clearly benefited, and Ron Conway, newly tapped CSXT Prexy, tells me he's making his Local Area Management (LAM) stick in the terminals. On to the results.
UNP was first up reporting four consecutive quarters of earnings increases, rebounding from the abyss of 2Q98. Matching that was four consecutive quarters of decreasing operating ratios, closing at a vastly improved 83, though that's still a dime north of where Chairman Dick Davidson would like it to be. The "cost of quality" metric stands at 15% YTD against a 1999 goal of 14% and 10% longer term. By way of review, the cost of quality is a measure of failure to do things right the first time: safety issues, poor car utilization, decreased car and train velocity. And to put that in perspective, every one MPH improvement in train speed will save $40 mm in car utilization.
Comparing 2Q99 with last year, revenues were up 6% to 2.8 billion while operating expenses decreased 16% to $2.3 billion. Car hire and fuel alone were down 13% and 10% respectively, thanks largely to running a more efficient railroad. Net income moved to a plus $189 mm from a $416 mm loss. There was a 212 basis point improvement in operating margin and the net margin was a modest 7% compared to 2Q98's unfortunate negative 16%. My only quibble from a Rule Maker standpoint would be the 16% increase in LTD, but, hey, if you're not making any money but you still have to spend it, it's gotta come from some place. I for one am encouraged (and remain long UNP).
CSX was up next, with the big news an agreement to sell essentially the water-borne parts of SeaLand to Maersk for $800 mm, retaining some US-only traffic in the Pacific (Guam, Hawaii, e.g.) plus some terminals (Hong Kong, e.g.). It was most gratifying to hear Head Marketeer Aden Adams expound on new single line moves from the former Conrail service area into the deep south, moves that never would have been possible under two-line haul economics. And it was a treat to listen to CSXT President Ron Conway on the benfits of Local Area Management as applied to CSX.
Turning to the numbers, revenues were up 5% to $2.6 billion, split about 60-40 between rail and water. Interestingly, CSX refers to its former Conrail Lines as "NYC" in the handouts, which fits with the split companies’ legal names: NYC LLC and PRR LLC. And NYC had second quarter operating revenue of $149 mm right out of the box while the original pre-merger CSX lines saw a $16 mm drop in revenue.
Operating expenses across the board rose 9% causing a 25% decrease in net income vs. 2Q98. The operating ratio actually went up three points to 89 while net margins, already thin at 6% a year ago, shrank further to 4% for the quarter. LTD increased slightly (2%) to $6.6 billion. The word from the dais was the "merger is done." If so, we should see a turn-around in these results in due course. Wall Street looks for a 40% improvement in earnings for FY 2000, and that would be impressive.
In a July 20 letter to the STB Conrail Transaction Council Walt Trollinger, AVP Marketing at Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC) writes, "At the last meeting of the Conrail Transaction Council there were a number of questions and concerns raised in connection with service on NS since June 1. In light of these questions and concerns, we thought it appropriate to prepare the attached Customer Service Report. Copies will be available from our Marketing and Sales personnel and we will post it on our web site as well. Any assistance you can provide in disseminating the Report is appreciated."
It is as thorough a reporting of the state of the merger and split as I've seen. Trollinger's summary pulls no punches: "The service plan for our new Northern Region (former Conrail) has been and will be straightforward. We expect most NS shippers will see a return to more normal rail operations by July 31 as cars on line decrease to 238,000. During August we will continue to work on reducing the number of cars on line by an additional 5,000. Our plan includes gearing up for the fall traffic peak, contains considerable flexibility and recognizes that much of the former Conrail system is a just-in-time network.” From here the report delves into causes, impacts, resources and solutions with tables and charts sprinkled liberally throughout. It is truly worth a close read by every shipper, shortline, shareholder, and any serious student of the industry. See http://www.nscorp.com/nscorp/html/conrail/report_0720.html.
That being said, one of the most troubling aspects of the Conrail transaction remains data interchange with shortlines and regional carriers. More than a year ago both CSX and NS were advised that neither of them had anything to match the pipeline reporting system devised by Conrail. In that system, the moment a car is waybilled to any Conrail connection on any originating road that car shows up in the destination road's pipeline report.
To date attempts to duplicate the Conrail system have not worked. One approach was to bunch customers according to delivering road. This frequently fails because not all customers are keyed the same way all the time, nor do they always get the same station or station spelling. So any car not matching the originally keyed customer data is literally lost. And when that customer is Ford, Georgia Pacific, Allied Chemical, or any other of a thousand large company household names it reflects badly on all players. An early and effective fix is devoutly wished for.
RailTex (Nasdaq: RTEX) continues to gain favor among the eight houses following: A.G. Edwards, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Kerchville, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Keegan, Olde, and Schroder. The consensus recommendation stands at 1.63 (1 is a strong buy; 5 is sell) on a consensus eps estimate for FY99 of $1.36 and $1.52 for FY00, up 14.5% and 11.4% respectively.
RTEX currently trades at $14 1/2, just 9.5 times the furthest estimate. Divide the PE of 9.5 by Growth of 11.4 (this year is mostly discounted anyway, so be conservative and use next year's growth) for a PEG of 0.84. Recall from last week that a PEG of less than one is a potential buy signal if everything else fits. The Price-to-Book ratio is 0.92 and Price-to-Sales is but 0.80 (recall rails as going businesses fetch 1.5 to 2.0 times sales). The 52-week high was $15 5/8, so the current price is about 8% off that, another good sign. Let's wait and see what happens to LTD when results are announced next week. If it goes down, that's another plus.
All in all, an encouraging week. NSC reports next Wednesday, and I’ll

Ukraine’s Health Ministry will prepare documents for summoning special commission to consider the need to declare measles epidemic in Ukraine, as Health Minister Ylyana Suprun said, 112 Ukraine reported.
“We have to summon a special commission to declare an epidemic. Till the end of this week we will gather all the documents so that we could gather this commission and discuss the question of the epidemic,” she noted.
Suprun reminded that when an epidemic is declared in the country, the Health Ministry had more power to purchase vaccine.
At the same time, she denied the stereotype that many people refuse to get vaccinated due to religious views.
“When we met with the Council of Churches, they assured us that none of the religions represented in the Council of Churches, bishops or religious leaders never call people not to get vaccinated. All of them agree, that vaccine is an important thing,” Suprun added.
As we reported, quarantine was announced in Lukyanivska pre-trial detention in Kyiv, because of a measles outbreak.
Earlier, the outbreak of measles was spotted among the personnel of the National Guard of Ukraine, assigned to Vinnytsia military unit. The first case of the sickness of measles was spotted before the New Year and now, the number of the diseased increased up to more than a few dozens. The National Guard does not have a specialized medical unit so the soldiers are hospitalized to the city hospital. Four soldiers receive the treatment at Khmelnytsky District Hospital.
