Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Headlines about the U.S. housing market recovery have put Dow-30 component The Home Depot (HD - Free Home Depot Stock Report) on investors' radar screens in recent months. And with good reason. Just by looking at the Graph (in the mid-section of the Value Line report), we clearly see that the stock's price has more than doubled since mid-2011.
No doubt, this blue chip stumbled during the 2007-2009 recession, as the housing bubble burst and the financial crisis peaked. But the building supply/home improvement chain managed to regain its footing by 2010, with annual sales and profits rebounding nicely and even showing growth more recently, as evidenced in the Statistical Array (found in the middle of the page). Indeed, while the housing market remained fairly dormant after the recession ended, homeowners seemingly took that as an opportunity to spruce up their living spaces and tackle home-improvement projects. Repair and rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, in the meantime, have driven business for Home Depot of late.
And with more good news streaming in on the housing front, it is no surprise that investor interest in HD shares has continued to perk up. Granted, the housing market is not out of the woods just yet, as monthly figures are still relatively uneven. Admittedly, too, the somewhat weak job market adds a challenging element to the mix. But the general trend in the housing sector seems to indicate that things are moving in a positive direction, which is a welcome sign.
So far, in the initial part of 2013, major indicators have pointed to an upswing in home building and selling activity, albeit at an unassuming pace on a month-to-month basis; year-over-year comparisons have been significantly better, however. For example, housing starts—an important forward-looking metric—edged higher recently. Building permits, which are a more predictive measure, stepped back sequentially, but nonetheless, were up sharply from year-earlier tallies. And, like permits, new and existing home sales have moved in similar fashion, fluctuating on a sequential basis, but showing a clear rebound from the prior-year levels.
Given that the housing market is one of the key contributors to the nation's economic growth, the latest data are encouraging. In fact, improving housing market fundamentals suggest an upbeat near-term outlook for Home Depot. With all of this in mind, notice that HD stock gets a 2 (Above Average) for Timeliness (as shown in the Ranks box at the top left-hand corner of the page). As a reminder, this gauges an equity's price and earnings momentum compared to the performance of the broader market, and it ranges from 1 (Highest) to 5 (Lowest). HD's favorable Timeliness rank, therefore, reflects the chain's good earnings results of late, coupled with positive near-term prospects that coincide with a recovering housing market.
Much of this is echoed by covering analyst Matthew E. Spencer in the Commentary section of the page. As he discusses in the writeup, Home Depot's recent performance was helped by the continued recovery in the housing market, alongside repair and rebuilding efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. He further points out that profit increases expected for 2013 and 2014 should be driven by the rebound in the housing and labor markets.
Besides its Timeliness rank, Home Depot stock has other striking features, including its top-notch Safety rank of 1. This measure (located in the Ranks box) implies HD shares have considerably less risk, and thus, are safer than the average issue under Value Line's review. Like Timeliness, the rank ranges from 1 (Highest) to 5 (Lowest). Also in the same section, the Beta coefficient shows that the stock's volatility is just below that of the market (where 1.00 = the market). (Note that a figure lower than 1.00 means the equity is less volatile, while a number that is higher indicates greater volatility than the overall market.)
Glancing down at the bottom of the page, in the Ratings box in the lower right-hand corner, we see other elements that further highlight the company's solid risk profile. What stands out in particular is the company's exemplary score for Financial Strength (A++), which takes into account a range of items, such as cash and debt levels. And while not at the top of the range, HD gets solid marks for Stock Price Stability (85 out of 100) and Earnings Predictability (80 out of 100).
Meanwhile, although the issue does not offer much in the way of long-term growth potential, as illustrated by the 3- to 5-year price-gain and total return forecasts (in the Projections box), there is still some income to be made here. The dividend yield (found in the Top Label) is not bad at 2.3%, giving the stock added appeal.
All told, investors looking for a good play on the housing market turnaround, with a low-risk profile, would be wise to consider Home Depot shares. As analyst Matthew Spencer concludes, the blue chip remains on Value Line's recommended list for year-ahead price performance, not to mention that the stock is a fine choice for conservative accounts.

Facebook users becoming more privacy savvy
By Larry Magid
When it comes to social media privacy, there is some good news from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. It shows that Americans are increasingly thinking about their own privacy and reputation management. Which, at the end of the day, is the most protective factor of all.
A new report, Privacy management on social media sites, found that people were more likely to use basic privacy features in 2011 than they were in 2009. The study also found that only 2% of Facebook users felt that it's "very difficult" to use privacy controls. Forty nine percent say that it's "not difficult at all," though 48% said they experienced some level of difficulty.
In general, teens and young adults are more privacy conscious than older people.
The study found that:
- 37% untagged photos, up from 30% in 2009
- 44% deleted comments, up from 36^ in 2009
- 63% unfriended someone, up from 56% in 2009
It also found that 58% restrict access to their profiles and that women are significantly more likely to use privacy setting than men (67% vs 48%).
Eleven percent said they posted content that they regret with males almost twice as likely (15% vs. 8%) to have regrets than women. Young adults (18-29) are three times more likely (15% vs. 5%) to say they've posted content they regret than users 50 or older.
Privacy is the norm & teens are leading the way
Users of all ages are likely to use the service's privacy settings, with teens leading the way. 62% of teens say they mostly post content to friends only compared to 59% of 18-29 year-olds, 60% of 30-49 year-olds, 52% of 50-64 year-olds, and 55% of people over 65.
Women and young adults more likely to prune their lists
Women are more likely to trim their friends lists than men (67% vs. 58%) as are young adults. Seventy one percent of young adults say they've deleted contacts compared to 63% of people between 30 and 49, 56% of 50 to 64 year-olds and 41% of people over 65.
The survey also found that young adults are more likely to delete comments, and remove tags.
Government regulation vs. personal responsibility
The Pew Report came out the day after the Obama Administration released its Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World report (PDF) that includes a proposed Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights that the administration plans to send to Congress. As important as they are, these rights can't completely protect user privacy. Even the most stringent privacy policies and government regulations won't protect people from posting things they may regret if people are not thinking carefully about what they post. Regardless of the regulatory environment, media literacy and critical thinking remain the the most important factors when it comes to protecting our privacy and safety.

I heart Rick Santelli. For years, Mr. D and I have shared coffee, the newspaper and CNBC Squawk Box, each weekday morning. I, in particular, LERVE the Chicago Exchange guru, Rick Santelli and his faithful sidekick, The Wolfman. Santelli is of the Larry Kudlow vein and an unapologetic capitalist. He's also had enough. Reminiscient of my recent "Mad as Hell" and "Tax Man Cometh" posts, Santelli's impromptu rant a week or so ago was like a shot heard around the world. The Interwebs, and eventually the regular media, was abuzz with Santelli's comments and how they seemed to encapsulate what ALOT of people, including me, feel. In case you missed it… I totally agree 100% with Rick Santelli. And furthermore, I am greatly offended by Mr. Obama's criticism that "our day of reckoning has arrived". Is it just me or is he paraphrasing that our "chickens have come home to roost"? Let me be clear…most everyone I know has lived within their means and saved for the future. They didn't go out and buy a home they KNEW they could not afford or cars they could not make the payments on or buy the latest gadget by "charging it". But now, that diligence is being repaid by asking us to pay for the people who lived beyond their means. How is that fair? Evidently, Mr. Santelli's rant struck a nerve with the "Administration" (and, I use the term loosely)…as Obama's Press minon, Robert Gibbs dismissed the concern and anger that represents many of the feelings of REGULAR people out here in the real world. Does he just NOT get it? Gibbs' idiocy Then, as if on cue, left-wing pundit, Chris Matthews invites Santelli on his "show" and promptly minimizes Santelli's concerns by asking him who he voted for? What does that matter? What a shill. Santelli's response Is this kind of crap not transparent to people? Do people really believe guys like Chris Matthews? Can't "the media" be the least bit objective? Jeez, makes my blood boil. Mr. Santelli is a trader and market expert that has been in the business of analyzing markets for 30 years, but it was his sincere, impromptu outrage that gave him instant credibility. He tapped into exactly what ALOT of people out here are feeling, as was evidenced by the floor traders' cheers. As for the mortgage "crisis" and for those who bought more than they could afford…NOTHING is going to help them. No matter how you re-structure their debt, they WILL NOT be able to afford the homes they are in. You can blame the Mortgage industry, but if you do, blame Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and then follow that little trail to two Senior Congressmen….Barney Frank and Chris Dodd — two "architects" of the new, wonderful legislative initiatives we will all be victims of. America has survived and thrived via free markets. All of the proposed "intervention" throws a cog in the wheel and can actually make the problems worse. As Mr. Santelli says, "let the markets correct themselves". There will be winners and there will be losers, but our economic recovery will be substantially prolonged if the free markets are manipulated by governmental policy. The best solution is for our President to support the stock market to rescue our savings. Stop the class warfare and realize that a good Wall Street is a GREAT Main Street. The majority of workers today are involved in some kind of Wall Street investment. Most people have lost half of their life savings or more. Until you fix the markets, you will not fix consumer confidence and until you fix consumer confidence, everyone suffers. Mr. Obama has evidently declared war on the likes of Rick Santelli and others on "The Street". Even everyman, Jim Cramer, is now coming out with "Obama-proof" stock picks. Problem is, we have met the enemy and he is us. America needs a surging stock market to restore the savings of the majority of hard-working Americans who "pay the freight". In his rant, Santelli suggested a Chicago Tea Party. As a symbol. Not so much to protest taxes, but to stand up and let those in charge know that we are here, we are watching and we want it fixed. That WE ARE NOT HAPPY and that we are going to get up and stand up to protect what we've worked our whole lives for. Notice that you are not hearing anything about the protest Tea Parties even though there are many planned. Just why is that? I invite you to "get up, stand up" and fight for your right. Let your voice be heard… Get Up, Stand Up, Bob Marley & The Wailers
NOTE: If you are interested in participating in the Tea Parties across the country, visit this blog for how you can Get Up, Stand Up. <—-click here.

A Level Playing Field, an Equal Starting Line
A Level Playing Field, an Equal Starting Line
Remarks of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Legislative Summit, March 19, 2013
I'm delighted to see this legislative summit's concentration on education as the linchpin of prosperity and the economic game-changer for Hispanics.
Hispanic parents sometimes say to their children: "An education can't be taken away from you." As we all know, many things can be taken from us. But knowledge and education are the gifts that keep on giving.
That understanding, and this conference, reflects the reality that in today's knowledge-based, globally competitive economy, a world-class education and some postsecondary schooling is essential. As President Obama said when he spoke here four years ago, "Education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity and success, it's a prerequisite for success."
And so I'm happy to say I have some good news to report today on the state of Hispanic educational progress in the U.S.—good news that has not received enough attention to date.
During the Administration's first term, Hispanic high school graduation rates rose substantially--and so did Hispanic enrollment in college.
It's true that many urgent educational challenges persist in the Latino community, including high dropout rates in both high school and college. Yet we don't do enough in the field of education to celebrate progress.
So today, I want to talk first about educational progress in the Hispanic community and challenges that remain. And then I want to talk about legislative opportunities to strengthen education--especially President Obama's landmark plan to provide universal, high-quality preschool to all four-year olds in America.
One of the most encouraging improvements in our education system today is the rapidly rising high school graduation rates and college enrollment rates of Hispanic students.
From June 2008 to June 2011, the on-time graduation rate of Hispanic high school students jumped more than 10 percentage points. In 2008, less than two-thirds of Hispanic students graduated on time from high school. Today, about three in four Hispanic high school students graduate with their class.
Because the graduation rate of Latino students rose from 2008 to 2011, an additional 164,000 Latino students graduated on time. That is 164,000 people with a better chance of getting a good job, owning their own home, and supporting a family.
And all across America, Hispanic families and communities are building a stronger college-going culture. From 2008 to 2011, the number of Hispanics in college jumped by almost 25 percent, from 2.3 million to more than 2.8 million. That's a remarkable step in the right direction.
More than a half-a-million additional Hispanic students—about 550,000 in all—are now enrolled in college today than were enrolled in 2008. That is 550,000 more people who are getting their shot at the American Dream and the opportunity to thrive in a globally competitive world.
It is even more impressive that many of those students are the first in their families to go to college. They know that a college education can't be taken away.
It will come as no surprise that I believe America's economic success is inextricably linked with the success of the Hispanic community, our nation's largest minority group.
Fortunately, the next generation of Latino college students is poised to be leaders, too. They are poised to help lead our country and their communities into the future.
Cesar Chavez said that "real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students." And I have great faith that Latino college students will not only thrive in the job market but will strengthen our civic life and help make America a more perfect union.
That's one reason why President Obama and I are so excited about the dramatic increase in Hispanic college enrollment during his first term in office. We expanded the Pell Grant scholarship program by more than 50 percent, with the number of Pell Grant recipients going from 6.2 million in 2008 to more than nine million three years later.
As part of that expansion, we estimate that more than 725,000 additional Hispanic students will receive Pell grants by the 2013-14 school year. And over the next decade, we are slated to invest one billion dollars in American's Hispanic Serving Institutions.
Yet this is no time to rest on our laurels. I believe we can and must grow Hispanic enrollment in college further by passing the federal Dream Act.
I am a passionate supporter of the Dream Act. So is President Obama. To me, passing the Dream Act is an absolute no-brainer. It would be a triumph of common sense, and a win at multiple levels for our nation. It is good to see emerging bipartisan support for immigration reform in the Senate.
This is not an abstract issue for me. When I was CEO of the Chicago Public Schools, about 40 percent of the students in the city's public schools were Hispanic and some students were undocumented.
I saw firsthand how students who had done nothing wrong—and everything right—were denied their chance for equal opportunity and the chance to pursue the American Dream.
I feel strongly enough about this that my wife and I made a modest contribution to fighting this unfairness by providing scholarship support for several students in the CPS system, some of whom were undocumented. One student worked 40 hours a week at a gas station while he went to the University of Illinois full-time.
Now, as we press ahead for speedy enactment of the Dream Act, we also have to be honest about urgent educational challenges that lie ahead.
While college enrollment is soaring, too many Hispanic students need remedial education when they arrive at college and too many are dropping out of college before they get their degree or certificate.
Sixty percent of white students at four-year colleges get their degrees in six years. But less than half of Hispanics—48 percent-- at four-year schools get their degree in six years.
This troubling shortage of Hispanic students marching across the stage on graduation day has its roots right at the beginning of the education pipeline.
Hispanic children represent the largest group of young, minority children in the nation. But, unfortunately, they are less likely than any other major ethnic group to be enrolled in center-based, early learning programs.
Just 20 percent of Hispanic three- to five-year olds were enrolled in full-day preschool in 2010. Close to 60 percent of Hispanic children nationwide were not enrolled in any kind of preschool program.
And counter to the national trend, there is no evidence that the participation of Hispanic children in preschool programs has increased since 2003.
When you fall behind at the starting line, it is hard to catch up and get to the educational finish line for that college degree at the same time as everybody else. We have to stop playing catch-up.
So, we need to work at both ends of the educational pipeline--to expand access to affordable, high-quality preschool and to boost college completion rates.
I never forget that the Hispanic community has so many great strengths to draw upon to meet these challenges. A strong work ethic. A deep religious faith. And a powerful commitment to family.
Yet there are times when some of these very strengths do not help students persist to get a college degree. When young Latino males drop out high school to take jobs to support their family, they are ultimately limiting their potential.
I know it is hard to take the long view when times are tough, but we must help our teenagers understand that the best way to help their families over the long haul is to get that college degree.
When working parents keep their kids at home to babysit younger siblings because the parents can't find an affordable preschool nearby, those young children can lose out on opportunities for academic, social, and emotional development.
So, in the time I have left, I'd like to talk for a few minutes about President Obama's early learning plan.
As I said earlier, the President's plan is really a landmark proposal. It would provide the largest expansion of educational opportunity in America in the Twenty-First century.
Parents who hunger for affordable, high-quality early learning programs, teachers who work tirelessly to provide our children with opportunities, and business leaders who seek well-prepared workers all want to see the President's vision recognized.
The biggest beneficiaries of all would be our children--particularly disadvantaged children, English language learners, and children with disabilities.
Dramatically expanding high-quality early learning is a classic win-win proposition. It would make America more productive, more competitive, and save untold millions in taxpayer dollars.
We know that America can't win the race for the future by cheating children at the starting line. And it's past time that we get our public schools out of the catch-up business.
The President's plan would launch a new Early Head Start-Child Care Partnership program and expand the Administration's evidence-based home visiting initiative.
And it would create a new, groundbreaking federal-state partnership to enable states to provide universal, high-quality preschool for four-year olds from low- and moderate-income families, up to 200 percent of the poverty line.
This new partnership would also provide incentives for states to cover all families who want to send their children to high-quality preschool.
But it would not be a new federal entitlement program—it would be an investment in states to jumpstart access to high-quality preschool and to take the leading states to the next level.
States would use federal funds from our Department to create or expand high-quality, state-run preschool programs, administered in partnerships with local school-based and community providers.
The urgent need for greater access to high-quality preschool for children from low- and moderate-income families is not really in dispute today. Just ask a parent or kindergarten teacher if there are gaps in learning and social and emotional development when a child walks through that kindergarten door.
We know that, on average, children from low-income families start kindergarten 12 to 14 months behind their peers in language development and pre-reading.
And we know that fewer than 30 percent of four-year olds today—less than three in ten--are enrolled in high-quality preschool programs.
Our theory of action in expanding high-quality preschool is going to be the same as it was in the first term. The federal role in public education is to support and partner with states, incentivize innovation, and help identify what works to strengthen education and accelerate achievement.
That means that at the federal level, we should be tight on ends but loose on means. The Department should set a high bar. But it should leave it up to state and local leaders to choose the best means for reaching that bar.
States would be required to meet quality benchmarks linked to better outcomes for children--like having high-quality state-level standards for early learning; qualified and well-compensated teachers in all preschool classrooms; and a plan to implement comprehensive assessment and data systems.
Unlike the norm today, preschool programs would have well-supported teachers paid comparably to K-12 staff, low adult-to-child ratios, and offer effective, developmentally-appropriate learning opportunities.
Now, some critics have expressed skepticism about the President's plan. They have raised questions about its costs, complained of government overreach, and argued that the impact of high-quality preschool programs cannot be taken to scale.
Some of their questions are the right ones to be asking--and some are false choices. Let's start with costs.
The President pledged in his State of the Union that the administration's investments in building the workforce and strengthening the middle class would not add a dime to the deficit. And we will abide by that pledge when the President releases his budget.
But in an era of tight budgets, it's absolutely fair that we ask ourselves, what is the smartest use of our education dollars?
The answer, I believe, is that high-quality early learning is the best educational investment we can make in our children, our communities, and our country.
As President Obama has said, "if you are looking for a good bang for your educational buck," high-quality preschool is the place to look.
The best early-learning programs provide life-transforming opportunities for children. In the near-term, high-quality preschool reduces placements in special education. It reduces grade retention. It boosts graduation rates.
And in the long-term, high-quality preschool both increases the odds of holding a job and decreases crime and teen pregnancy.
Rigorous, longitudinal studies of both the Perry Preschool Project and the Chicago Child Parent Centers have projected a return of seven dollars to every one dollar of public investment in high-quality preschool programs.
And I might add that studies of Tulsa, Oklahoma's well-regarded preschool program, of Head Start, and a new study of Boston's preschool program find that Hispanic children are especially likely to show cognitive improvement in preschool programs.
So I would turn the critics' skepticism around and ask, how can we afford not to invest more heavily in high-quality preschool?
In the end, the right question to ask is, how do we help build quality in preschool programs? We know that not all preschool programs are created equal. Many programs are life-changing. But some offer little more than baby-sitting.
Federal oversight can be relatively simple here if we stick to those two core principles: Set a high bar, and set quality benchmarks linked to better health, social, and cognitive outcomes for children.
Everyone can agree that the goal of dramatically expanding high-quality preschool is a challenging assignment. Yet the difficulty of broadly scaling-up quality cannot become an excuse for maintaining the status quo of uneven quality and unacceptable gaps in access, especially in the neighborhoods that need the best opportunities, not the fewest opportunities.
This is no time to let the perfect become the enemy of the good, as so often happens in education debates.
What gives me faith that this challenge can be met? Mine is not some vague hope in the unseen, but a confidence that comes from the real leadership I already see across the country. I am encouraged by the fact that expanding quality preschool programs is currently being embraced by both Democratic and Republican leaders at the state and local level.
States like Oklahoma and Georgia are leading the way in creating high-quality, universal preschool programs. In fact, numerous states led by GOP governors—states such as Alabama, Michigan, and Mississippi--are all investing in quality and expanding coverage to more four-year olds.
And I was thrilled to see that voters in San Antonio, Texas approved a sales tax increase last fall to provide about $31 million for the city's cutting-edge, pre-K 4 SA initiative.
One of our terrific panelists, Congressman Castro, is from San Antonio, and his brother, Julian, is the visionary mayor there. And, as much as I respect the two brothers, I have to tell you, I respect their mom even more! Her commitment to her children is an inspiration to us all.
Mayor Castro's leadership on education has been absolutely outstanding. I got to visit San Antonio last March to take a look at the city's 2020 program, which has set a goal of graduating 100,000 more adults by 2020.
The 2020 program establishes the expectation that all students will be kindergarten-ready and college- and career-ready. Mayor Castro understands that the best way to improve results at the back end of the education system is to invest in the front end.
The Pre-K 4 SA initiative will dramatically improve the quantity and quality of early learning for the city's four-year olds. It will enhance numeracy and literacy skills and accelerate children's social and emotional development.
Today, nearly 6,000 four-year olds in San Antonio are eligible for state-funded Pre-K but are not enrolled in a full-day program. In the next eight years, San Antonio essentially aims to cut that enrollment gap in half or more.
Over that eight year period, the city projects the initiative will enroll more than 22,000 four-year olds and provide annual in-service training to a minimum of 2,300 teachers, principals, early education leaders, and community providers.
Stop, take a moment, and think what that means for the future of San Antonio, and the future of our nation if we can take these opportunities to scale!
The truth is that the education of our children must remain a bipartisan cause. We must all work together, to educate our way to a better economy.
It is encouraging to see that both Republican and Democratic leaders believe every family, every child should have access to high-quality, early learning.
Here in Washington, we need business leaders to make the case for the significant return-on-investment and greater equity that high-quality early learning will produce for America's future workforce.
And back home in their communities, we need business leaders to encourage employees, customers, and neighbors to push for and to participate in high-quality preschool in greater numbers.
The federal government can be a strong partner in expanding access to high-quality preschool. But this is ultimately up to state and local leaders.
As David Brooks, the New York Times columnist put it, "If Republicans really believe in opportunity and local control, they will get on board."
Many of my Republican friends share my belief that education is the civil rights issue of our time. They believe, as I do, that in America, education must be the great equalizer—the one force that overcomes differences in race, ethnicity, and privilege.
That American creed is very much in keeping with the core values of Hispanic families of a strong work ethic, family first, and faith.
In America, if you study hard and play by the rules, if you work hard, you should get a fair shot at the future—regardless of your zip code, skin color, or the size of your bank account.
Today, it is time for every young child in America to have access to high-quality preschool. It is time that we level the playing field and stop playing catch-up.
With bipartisan backing, with your commitment and leadership, I believe our nation will soon take its next step to transform preschool education.
I believe state and local leaders, CEOs, teachers, and moms and dads and grandparents will stand up and say: It is time.
So, let the race for the future begin. But let's do everything in our power to ensure that every child in America begins at the same starting line.

For all the advancements brought on by technology in the last 70 years or so, the core experience of watching a TV show has largely remained unchanged. Sure, now we can stream shows on demand and watch in beautiful high-definition, but at the basic level we're still just sitting and passively absorbing content that doesn't respond to our actions at all. While video games have allowed us new and exciting ways to interact with our on-screen images, TV shows themselves haven't really learned how to integrate interactivity into their programming (and no, asking viewers to tweet during a new episode of Grey's Anatomy doesn't count).
Microsoft is now doing its part to drag TV into a more interactive future with two new Kinect-powered TV shows: Kinect Nat Geo TV: America the Wild and Kinect Sesame Street: Season 1. Each show (labeled on the box as a "2-way TV experience") comes in a two-disc set including eight episodes. Nat Geo TV even includes a one-year pass to download additional episodes from Xbox Live.
I'm a little too old to be in the target audience for these shows myself (Nat Geo TV is rated E-10+ while Sesame Street is rated EC by the ESRB), so I borrowed some neighborhood children—11-year-old Shane, 9-year-old Maya, and 6-year-old Nina—to see what they thought of Microsoft's entry into the brave new world of Interactive TV.
Shutterbugs and sidetracks
We started our Sunday morning play session with a Nat Geo TV episode about grizzly bears. The episode started like any non-interactive National Geographic show, with the host using his pet grizzly bear to present entertaining and educational facts about the beasts, intercut with lovingly detailed nature shots of bears in their native environments. For the most part, the children sat through these sections with the glazed, mildly anesthetized look familiar to all zoned out TV watchers (though another episode about mountain lions generated lots of chatter about how cute the large kittens were).
Nat Geo TV spices up the viewing experience in a couple of interactive ways. The first is occasional photo assignments that ask the viewers to shout "SNAP!" when they see a specific scene: a bear hovering over freshly killed meat, for instance. Our test subjects had a little trouble with this concept at first (the brief on-screen instructional overlays required a lot of quick reading comprehension to figure out), but after a little coaxing all three kids were eagerly shouting at the TV and trying to capture the best shots. These "photos" were displayed back to the kids later in the episode, alongside a Kinect-captured shot of whichever kid first called out for a photo (the hardware seems to use its directional microphone to crop and center the photo on the appropriate kid, which I thought was a nice touch).
The second interactive bit during the video portion of the show is called a Sidetrack, which the kids gleefully activated by calling out "TRACKS!" whenever a set of animated paw prints appeared on-screen. During this portion of the episode, the action pauses periodically to offer the viewers a binary question: are these claw marks on a tree a way for the bear to mark its territory or to groom itself? Is the bear we're looking at here a grizzly bear or a black bear? Should we head upwind or downwind to catch up to the bear without scaring it off?
Voting is as simple as raising your right or left hand to choose the option on the right or left side of the screen, a process the kids picked up on quite easily. The Kinect will register votes from every human shape in its viewing area, though, which led to some interesting stalemates when Shane and Maya disagreed about which answer to give (luckily, Nina was available to get up off the couch and break the tie, though Shane often tried gently overpowering her to force a vote in his direction). Correct answers earned points that help earn medals at the end of the show, while wrong answers earn an extremely gentle correction from the host before the episode continues on as normal.
Going wild
The most interactive (and most popular) portion of Nat Geo TV was the selection of "Go Wild!" mini-games that are inserted where the commercial breaks would be during a normal broadcast. These sections asked the kids to stand up and act out some of the wild animal behaviors they saw described earlier in the episode—digging up and eating moths in one game and swatting away angry hornets in another (a third game combined the two behaviors and let the children roar out loud to unleash a moth-eating frenzy). Other games we tried had the kids imitating a pouncing mountain lion or grabbing cubs by the scruff of their neck to get them back home.
In an engaging bit of augmented reality, the live, on-screen images of the kids were enhanced in these games by a polygonal 3D animal mask and forearm coverings that gave them animated claws. The kids couldn't get enough of seeing themselves as wild animals, and the enhanced mirror effect did a good job of helping them get into character, so to speak. While the effect was a little jittery at times, the Kinect did an impressive job tracking the kids' movements and keeping up the cute on-screen illusion. The only time the Kinect really failed was when the over-eager kids advanced too close to the screen, prompting a large on-screen warning to urge them back into the correct range.
The games aren't exactly what you'd call deep or overly strategic, but they do keep score and reward careful players with multipliers and medals at the end for strong performances. Regardless, the kids reveled in the opportunity to get up and flail about for 30 seconds or so at a stretch, choosing to replay each mini-game four or five times to improve their scores. After getting sufficiently tired out, the kids seemed to welcome the chance to sit down to more pre-filmed content, providing a necessary break that more Kinect-powered games should really integrate into the experience.
While the kids unanimously said the "Go Wild!" mini-games were the best part of Nat Geo TV, and that the filmed sections were just "OK," the well-balanced mixture of both types of content seemed to hold their interest quite well. Later in our testing, when the kids jumped directly into an ant-eating mini-game from the main menu, Shane still said he wanted to "watch the episode to see what the ants were about." And later on, the kids decided to launch an episode about mountain lions rather than just jumping directly to more mini-games, seemingly showing they found some value to the mix of filmed and interactive content.
Too old for Sesame Street
When Shane left momentarily for a music lesson, I convinced the two remaining girls to try out the Sesame Street disc we had on hand, though they were reluctant to give up on a mini-game that involved using their powerful bear claws to fight off wolves. The interactive bits were a little less engaging here. At pre-set times, the game asked the kids to make a throwing motion toward the screen, which activated pre-filmed sequences where a talking ball-shaped puppet might fly back to Elmo, or a coconut might get tossed into Grover's basket. During the show itself (a story about Elmo growing to humongous proportions thanks to a malfunctioning wish), the kids could point and call out "PICTURE!" every time a ruler appeared on-screen to take screenshots that were shown at the end.
The kids seemed easily bored by the simpler content and interactions here, which they both insisted they were too old and mature for. Nina, who just started first grade, said she thought it would be better for kids in pre-school, but I definitely caught her smiling and giggling a bit as she threw her coconuts to Grover (especially when one got caught in his mouth).
But Nat Geo TV was definitely a big hit with our test subjects. How big? When we finally had to pack up the Xbox and head back home so the kids could prepare for an afternoon birthday party, I heard Shane ask his mother at least three times if they could get an Xbox for themselves. If that's not a good review, I don't know what is.


text: General entries are sold out! But are you really that surprised?\r\n\r\nTen days ago the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association announced it will host the first full-distance IRONMAN® event in California since 2001, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013. Registration opened Monday, June 18 at noon PST and filled in just 19 hours!\r\n\r\nWe can understand the demand for the first full-distance IRONMAN event in California in over 10 years.\r\n\r\nIRONMAN Lake Tahoe will start with a two-loop, 2.4-mile swim in the pristine waters of Kings Beach, California. Athletes will enjoy a lakeside transition before starting a two-loop 112-mile bike course that is challenging and comparable in difficulty to the bike routes at IRONMAN Lake Placid, IRONMAN Canada and IRONMAN Wisconsin. Cyclists will travel along the lake into Tahoe City before following the Truckee River past Squaw Valley and into Historic Downtown Truckee.\r\n\r\nFrom there, the course turns south back toward Lake Tahoe, has a short loop in Martis Camp, continues past Northstar California and climbs to Brockway Summit. After a decent back down to Kings Beach, athletes will complete a second loop, and then a final, flat 17 miles to finish the bike course at Squaw Valley. Definitely a gorgeous loop, but not for the faint of heart!\r\n\r\nWith a transition to the running portion at The Village at Squaw Valley, runners will proceed along the Truckee River bike path into Tahoe City, and continue south along the shores of Lake Tahoe to a turnaround in Homewood, California. The flat course traverses one of the most scenic lake vistas in the world before finishing back at the heart of the Village at Squaw Valley.\r\n\r\nIRONMAN Lake Tahoe will bring approximately 2, 500 athletes to the region, and is also a multi-year contract for the Tahoe region.\r\n\r\nAre you an IRONMAN? If so, does Lake Tahoe sound like an appealing course?\r\n\r\n[Image]

"Perfect" We were so happy we stayed here. Very spacious 2 bedroom apartment. The large open verandah was perfect for our family get togethers. The four pools were so much fun for the kids. The lakes complex is very secure and the parking was good. The short term rental staff were extremely kind, helpful and great at responding to emails, text messages and phone calls. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

Starting this summer, we're aiming to help create a group of webmakers. Building on Mozilla's Manifesto—to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the web—we're rationalizing a set of core skills, developing learning objectives and outcomes associated with those skills and offering opportunities to try them out. This effort aligns extremely well with the development and promotion of #5 in our mission list: "Individuals must have the ability to shape their own experiences on the Internet."
What's a webmaker?
What do we mean by webmaker? Someone who contributes to the web but also someone who understands the web and its inherent power. Our focus is on moving people toward doing rather than perceiving but both are required. Experimentation is where we're headed. Guiding people toward understanding the software that constitutes the web so that they can make more informed and educated decisions about not only how they interact with the web, but how they interact with the systems that lead to the power of the web. Yes, systems as we've been discussing in previous posts. (Avoiding the complex discussion of Foucault's systems of power for now, thanks.)
Code is political
Code is political. While that may seem to be a polemical statement, it's one that serves to inform the currently omnipresent drive to teach people to code. Code is enveloped in systems of power—systems of power that will increasingly play large roles in people's lives. Understanding that you can create as well as consume seems a fair balance. More people having a literacy is something to be desired, not shunned or disdained. (More info here: Lawrence Lessig's Code is Law)
What do we mean by literacy?
Traditional literacy lifts people out of poverty, modifies their worldviews, opens up new vistas and provides new opportunities for further enrichment, whether they be social, political, professional, or ideological. If you want your own proof, just search with this combination of terms "literacy and poverty." Who's to say that digital literacy won't accomplish similar things? In the vein of the scientific method, why not test it out?
Literacy itself is a complex term that encompasses a broad spectrum. In our case, literacy is a basic communication skill, akin to numeracy or traditional language literacy. We're not aiming to make everyone into Joycean code experimenters pushing the boundaries of language and comprehension, nor are we aiming to move everyone toward Hemingway-esque brevity and conciseness, but if some of you decide those pathways are for you, all the better. At least you'll be moving forward with a broader understanding of what's possible. And you will be making the decision for yourself, not having it handed to you by some faceless mega-corporation.
Our initial take on web literacy skills is bouncing along as an ongoing experiment (sounds familiar, right?). In the same vein as iterate often, we're out there trying things on, seeing what feels right. Working with other organizations to leverage their understandings of web literacy and expand upon our own.
What we're interested in doing with webmaking is shining a light into a place you may not have considered looking before. Showing you that that place is not full of monsters, is not incomprehensible, but is instead simply the exact same world you've been experiencing all along just translated into another language. Learning to code is a deciphering of sorts—a decoding of symbols. It offers a different lens through which to view the world.
This new knowledge lens may significantly alter the way you perceive the world; it's hard to say how it will affect you. Perhaps that unknown quantity is precisely why Mozilla believes learning to code is something everyone should be afforded the opportunity to learn how to do. The operative word in that sentence is opportunity.
Knock, knock, knock.

"Roster Share," a service in which NCAA Football 13 players trade edited rosters over EA Sports servers, has been down for a few days on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. This has given rise to conspiracy rumors that EA has spiked the feature, especially as it's tied to a use-of-likeness lawsuit brought by former college players.
Reached last night, an EA Sports representative said that the NCAA Football 13 development team noticed only late Friday that the feature was down. "We've got people looking into it," he said. Between the lines, it means this wasn't killed off as some sort of ass-covering move related to the college players' litigation.
If EA really had any intention of doing that, it would have done so before now, and probably before the game's release. However, last month, case documents did reveal that EA Sports developers would use fully named files in building out the base roster for the coming year, then strip the names out so as not to run afoul of NCAA amateurism regulations that forbid such an identification. The players' lawsuit says it doesn't matter, they are basically identifiable in these video games in every other way.
"Roster Share" emerged as a workaround five years ago, after EA Sports broached the idea of getting accurately named rosters onto the disc itself, and was rebuffed. The sharing feature replaced the old trade-by-mail system that involved sending someone a memory card and usually paying a contribution for their work.

Just reading though the BP settlement documents but had to stop to tell people about the part of the BP settlement. The Seafood program in the BP settlement are for commercial fishermen, Seafood boat captains, boat crew, oyster leaseholders and seafood vessel owners. The multipliers they have released today in the BP Settlement document is from 3.25 times to 9.75 times 2010 losses.
All I can say is boys get your federal fishing permits out and lets take your claims in and work them up.
Here is the BP Settlement Maps for people to look at.
I am just working now on getting the BP settlement Zones up so be patient with me but click the link and it has some already.
I think this is great news and a shrimp boat captain that also does blue crab can claim under both compensation plans. There is a cap on the seafood BP settlement of 2.3 billion dollars so we got to have everybody in to the BP settlement as fast as possible. If you are a boat captain, crew or have oyster leases get in contact though the form on the right and let us get you the compensation that you deserve from BP.
BP Settlement Document Documentation requirements
In the new documents that have come out today it states that if you don't have tax returns other documentation can be used to prove you BP settlement claim. The more documentation you have the more money you are going to get, but even without all documentation you can still file a claim with the BP settlement and get paid.
Another interesting part of the BP settlement are causation is given for people along the gulf and seafood people but the way people can prove causation away from the gulf are very smart. Let me try and explain it and not loose all my readers.
So if you sales in 2010 after the oil spill looks like a V when you plot it on paper, that is enough to prove causation. So how does you sale look like a V after the spill here is an example of sales that would look like a V when plotted.
April sales 100,000 , May sales 80,000, June sales 60,000, August sale 60,000, September sales 80,000, October sales 90,000, December sales 100,000
I hope you all understand this else try and plot the numbers down on a graph paper and draw a line and you will see the V-shape curve.
So if you where a business 200 miles from the Gulf but could prove causation from your sales numbers that the BP oil spill impacted you business that is enough to get compensation from the BP settlement. I hope you all understand the significant of this as many business can use this that are removed from the gulf but still does business down here.
Subsistence Claims New Information
The claim that you are getting food from the gulf to your dinner table got some new information in the BP settlement document, and that is the multiplier of 3.25 times your 2010 loss in subsistence. So if you save $1,000 on seafood buy getting it yourself from the gulf of mexico you would be entitled to $3,250 from the BP settlement. The subsistence claims will be documented by sworn statements and witness statements. A taskforce from the BP Settlement will be out in the communities helping people with this claim.
VOO BP Settlement News
In the new BP settlement document the VOO paticipants will get a minimum of $41,600 ( 26 days of 1600) for the smaller boats and then the number goes up the larger your boat is. If you boat was damaged in the VOO you can get compensation for that. The compensation is to pay for repairs or replacement of the boat what ever is cheaper. Any boat that has damage caused by the BP oill spill can claim this on their BP settlement claim.
This is important for VOO claims that have already sign a final release on other claims.
GCCF Release and Covenant Not to Sue shall not prevent a Natural Person or Entity from
making a VoO Charter Payment Claim or a Vessel Damage Claim, nor shall a release covering only bodily injury
NOT TO SUE, provided, however, that the execution of a GCCF Release
and Covenant Not to Sue shall not prevent a Natural Person or Entity from
making a VoO Charter Payment Claim or a Vessel Damage Claim, nor
shall a release covering only bodily injury prevent a Natural Person from
making Claims under this Agreement.
More to come today as I get though the whole document.

The writing is on the wall everybody, don't you see it?
Matt Flynn gets traded, said team also drafts a young, promising QB. Youngster wins the job and turns into a future HOF.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks make a big splash in FA and bring back T-Jack just for Zebulon!
In all seriousness. This is the route I would explore. He'll be cheap, we know what he can do and he did it before this offense was the monster it's turning into now. He's a solid option as a backup and hopefully Russ will be one of those guys that never needs his backup. Bring back Josh Portis for next season and try and develop him for trade value and then in 2013 draft Tylor Tettleton out of Ohio. Son of former catcher Mickey, one of my all-time favorite athletes with one of the greatest batting stances of all time. He's the closest thing I've seen to Russell Wilson in terms of toughness, poise, and leadership although not on RW's level. Not to mention they are the same stature. He'd be the guy that we could stash as a backup for years who, if pressed into action, could carry out a similar offense to Wilson.
Here's my new slogan for this offseason... Bring Back T-Jack for Zebulon Dak!

Congress Introduces Homeschool Non-Discrimination Bill
- 2003 18 Jul
On July 15, Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO) introduced the Homeschool Non-Discrimination Act (HONDA). HONDA will bring federal law up-to-date with changes in the state education systems, particularly regarding the homeschooling movement.
"Our Constitution does not allow federal control over homeschooling, but there are many federal laws written for the public school environment that impact home education," said Mike Smith, president of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA). "These laws are in need of clarification."
There are currently several areas of federal law that unfairly impact home education. Congress must pass HONDA to remedy this unfair treatment. Many of these problems arise because Congress has overlooked homeschoolers while drafting legislation. Yet the number of homeschool students has grown to approximately two million students and their academic success is remarkable. Congress should no longer overlook homeschoolers as a viable and successful movement.
Homeschoolers often find themselves in unusual situations. For example, many college-bound homeschoolers have been denied college admission due to confusion about federal financial aid programs. Many colleges feel they are forbidden to admit homeschoolers because homeschooled students do not have state-issued diplomas. HONDA will correct this and other anomalies in the law. It contains a strong recognition of the value of homeschooling.
HONDA will allow parents to utilize federal education savings accounts for their homeschool expenses, and allow homeschool eligibility for Byrd college scholarships. Federal privacy law is extended to include homeschool records, which some states require the public schools keep.
HONDA also permits older homeschooled teens to work during traditional school hours. (Currently, federal law does not allow a student to work during school hours.) This is an unfair restriction on homeschoolers, as traditional school hours have little relevance in a homeschool setting. This is a real limitation on the homeschool teen who would like to save for college by, for example, working the lunch shift at the local fast-food restaurant.
Further, HONDA would address forced evaluations under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). A Missouri family is currently in court fighting a decision by the state to force their homeschooled child to undergo an evaluation under IDEA, even though the family does not want, nor is even eligible for, the services which could be provided. HONDA makes it clear that IDEA does not require evaluations if a parent refuses services.
"We fully support HONDA," said Tom Washburne, director of HSLDA's National Center for Home Education. "Homeschooling is here to stay and it is time that federal law came up to speed."
