The "Rule of 72" is a great way to calculate compounding interest in your head. To find the number of years it would take a figure to double, simply divide the number 72 by the assumed growth rate. For example, if you think your stock will grow at a rate of 7.2% per year, it will take roughly 10 years for it to double (72 / 7.2 = 10).
If that 7.2% long-term equity growth rate seems too slow, consider that the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index (VBMFX) returned about 5.9% per year on average over the past 10 years, while the S&P 500 has had an annualized return of negative 1.3% over that same time period.
It's been a disappointing decade, to be sure, and many notable companies not only underperformed the bond market but also posted negative 10-year returns.
Of the 500 companies currently in the S&P 500, 133 -- almost 27% -- have failed to break even since August 1999. Some of those dreary investments include:
Trailing 10-Year Annualized Return
General Electric
Makes you want to take a closer look at your index fund, doesn't it?
Lean on me
The good news? For each of the aforementioned underperforming large caps, 167 current S&P 500 members more than doubled and held the fort over the past decade. Without these companies, the index may have fared even worse than it did. This list includes:
Trailing 10-Year Annualized Return
Exxon Mobil
Yum! Brands
Now we're talking. This is the kind of growth you expect to see from your stocks. This is why you take the extra risk by investing in stocks instead of Treasuries or CDs.
But is the best good enough?
Yet these were among the best-performing megacaps of the past 10 years, and I consider a 15% annualized return to be about the most any megacap investor can hope for over the long run. Why? Simply put: The Law of Diminishing Returns.
As it becomes big, a company's growth begins to plateau. Microsoft, after all, was once a tremendous growth stock -- averaging greater than 90% annual returns from 1986 to 2000 -- before it got so big that it became difficult for its growth efforts to drive the bottom line.
Furthermore, according to professor Jeremy Siegel's research, only 11 S&P stocks were able to sustain more than 14.7% annual returns from 1957 to 2003, even after we include dividend reinvestment! As companies mature, your returns diminish.
You can do better
Small-cap stocks, on the other hand, have much more room to grow than their larger counterparts. For instance, Hansen Natural has gained over 6,800% since March 1999, when it was just a $36 million company. Indeed, all of the market's 10 best stocks of the past 10 years were small caps.
This isn't to say you should scrap your large caps -- diversification is important -- but if you're looking for a few great growth stocks to add to your portfolio, you might want to consider a small company instead of an S&P giant.
The Motley Fool Hidden Gems team is always on the lookout for small-cap stocks that deserve your investing dollars. Their methodology looks at several factors -- including a strong balance sheet, a wide market opportunity, and solid leadership -- to identify promising small companies.

Key West, Florida - The final countdown has officially begun for 46 Melges 24s migrating south for the winter to ACURA Key West 2008 presented by Nautica.

Could they change voting habits?
This box shows the idea of "traffic light" labeling in the lower right corner. The logos come from various sources. ( / January 7, 2014)
Would you fill that 16-ounce cup with sugary soda if it had a red light on the dispenser? Or might you move to the faucet for water and its green light? Researchers tracked food and drink choices in a big Boston hospital and found that those "traffic light" signals influence choices, even for two years.
Its long-term change that many experts trying to reverse the obesity epidemic consider the brass ring. The notion of making the healthy choice the easy choice such as a traffic light system that doesnt require label reading has gained some currency.
The researchers reported Tuesday in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that sales of red foods decreased from 24% of food sales at the start to 20% at two years; red beverages went from 26% of beverage sales to 17% at two years. Green foods sales grew from 41% to 46%, and green beverages from 52% to 60%.
Imagine if those lights represented a overall voting score? Civil rights, foreign policy, votes constitutionally, taxes, spending - things like that, and slap on a url to a NEUTRAL political site that tracks congress critters voting records.
What to do with them... well, are you defacing or enhancing a yard sign, poster or bumper sticker by providing this "extra" information? The ideal spot for them would be on the yard-signs approaching voter sites.
We could also get so good at producing and distributing this stuff in the opposition camps that a lot of it gets picked up and distributed as their own...
thoughts?, comments?, considerations?
I suspect some here will be against "enhancing" other peoples signs.

Popping Up in the Kitchen: The BEKVÄM Step Stool From IKEA

The BEKVÄM comes in unpainted wood, but it seems you rarely find it that way. It's so easy to paint, so you often see it as a brightly colored piece in the kitchen — a shot of electric yellow or red in the corner or under the table. It's also a great piece for kids.

Saints Report.....
Saints report: Strategy and personnel Aug. 18, 2003
Notes, quotes, anecdotes | Inside slant BATTLE OF THE WEEK: Jerome Pathon vs. Donte Stallworth for starting wide receiver spot -- Pathon started ahead of Stallworth, the projected starter throughout the off-season, for the second straight game against the Jets. The battle for the No. 2 wideout spot behind three-time Pro Bowl pick Joe Horn continues into the final days of training camp, but regardless of the outcome, both will get plenty of playing time because the Saints use a lot of three-wide receiver sets in their West Coast offense.
Spencer Folau vs. Victor Riley for starting right tackle -- This one is still up for grabs after another competitive week. Riley was given a chance to make his mark with the first-team offense late in the first half against the Jets, but the race is still too close to call.
Fred Thomas vs. Ashley Ambrose for starting right cornerback -- Thomas appears to be holding off Ambrose, but like wide receiver, they'll both play a lot when the Saints go to their nickel defense. Ambrose continues to get lots of playing time with the first-team defense in the absence of injury left corner Dale Carter.
Rookie defensive end Melvin Williams had three sacks in the fourth quarter of the win over the Jets. The significant thing about his play is that Williams, a fifth-round draft pick out of Kansas State, couldn't practice the first week of training camp because he failed his physical. He tore his ACL in the Holiday Bowl in late December and had surgery in January, but is playing and practicing at a high level after getting on the field for the first time on Aug. 4.
Defensive tackle Johnathan Sullivan (D1) continues to hold on to the starting spot at the three-technique. ... Tackle Jon Stinchcomb (D2) is being tried at all four offensive line positions other than center. ... Middle linebacker Cie Grant (D3) is getting back to work after recovering from a hamstring injury. ... Guard Montrae Holland (D4) started his second straight game in place of the injured LeCharles Bentley. ... Defensive end Melvin Williams (D5) put on a strong pass rush to record three sacks in the fourth quarter against the Jets. ... Wide receiver Kareem Kelly (D6) has been coming on lately after getting over a sprained ankle, and wide receiver Talman Gardner (D7) had two nice catches in the win over the Jets.
TE David Sloan, who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery on Aug. 4, returned to practice late last week and was able to work in the individual and seven-on-seven drills.
--G LeCharles Bentley, who has been bothered by a strained pectoral muscle, also returned to work with the first-team offense, but did not play against the Jets.
--In addition to Sloan and Bentley, nine other players were held out of the Jets game. They were CB Dale Carter (knee tendinitis), CB Fakhir Brown (shoulder), DT Henry Ford (ankle), T Scott Sanderson (hernia surgery), S Corey Hall (hamstring), LB J.J. Jones (knee), DT Jovon Bush (knee), G Peter Heyer (shoulder), and G Melvin Paige (hamstring).

EXPERT SECRETS | Karyn Calabrese of Karyn's Raw
KARYN CALABRESE is the sexagenarian who opened (according to Karyn) America's first raw restaurant in 1992 in Chicago of all places. Since then, business-headed Calabrese has created something of a raw health and wellness empire that encompasses a shop, spa, three restaurants, supplement and nutritional ranges and makeup. As the walking talking poster-woman for the lifestyle she promotes, packages and sells, I buy into it wholesale. She radiates energy from her honed figure and crease-less, youthful face, has the lithe body of a dancer 30 years her junior, hasn't been ill in decades and possesses an earnest passion that would put most university-aged idealist to shame.
We talked with Karyn to get a few of her top tips and secrets just for you, so pull up a chair and a mug of tea to hear what this living, breathing fountain of youth has to say...
BWM: What's your favorite way to treat yourself to a sweet and/or snack on a raw diet?
KC: Is there a specific food or recipe that is great? A specific brand or product?
During the 25 years I've been a raw foodist I've created hundreds of delicious raw snacks for myself and for sale in my store. My all time favourite are my Kale Chips. It's simply raw kale marinated in lemon juice, sea salt and raw honey and then dehydrated. They are sweet, salty and crispy and so satisfying.
BWM: What exercise class/gym do you recommend to people or do yourself and why?
KC: Ballet is my passion. I take a professional adult ballet class at the Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center. I also do and recommend that everyone take a great yoga class. We have a teacher at my center, Janice Cadwell, who's phenomenal. Her classes blend Vinyasa yoga, meditation and Pranayama (breath work). For a great Iyengar class I love The Yoga Circle in River North.
BWM: Where's the best place in Chicago for a bit of Zen?
KC: I've created a whole world around myself to stay Zen. I stay healthy and grounded at my Inner Beauty Center where I have an infrared sauna, ozone bath and many other amazing therapies. My other favorite place for zen is the Chicago lakefront. In the summer there's no better place.
BWM: Do you have any teas, hot drinks or cold drinks you drink every day?
KC: My biggest focus everyday is getting lots of greens. Greens are healing and alkalizing. My favorites are a smoothie with my Karyn's Green Meal Powder or my Karyn's Green Kamut. I also love High Country Kombucha. It helps calm my stress.
BWM: What is your favourite hidden shopping spot or boutique in Chicago?
KC: I love Intermix. It has the best clothes and customer service It's not really a hidden secret but it's a small boutique with a great selection. I always joke that I eat the way I do to wear gorgeous clothes as much as to feel healthy.
BWM: Do you use or recommend any at-home fitness or wellness DVDs?
KC: I use Rodney Yee's AM Yoga DVD everyday. I think it's a wonderful way to start your day with light movement. It's only 15 minutes long so no matter what your day is like you can get it done. It's something to easily commit to on a consistent basis.
BWM: Where do you go for beauty treatments?
KC: The reason I opened my Inner Beauty Center was to make sure I could get beauty treatments without chemicals. I have wonderful estheticians and therapists who do natural manicures, pedicures and facials. I do facials regularly with our myopulse machine, which restores collagen and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles without botox or surgery!
I have a wonderful stylist, Ricardo Alvarado, who comes to my house to do my hair.
BWM: Where's your favorite outdoor place/gym, etc. to exercise during the summer?
KC: My favorite place to exercise outdoors in the summer is the lake front in Chicago. I walk on the beach or play ball with my dog.
BWM: Is there a non-raw healthy restaurant you love?
KC: I love going to Charlie Trotter's. It's a great date place for my husband and I because they offer their normal menu as well as accommodating my special dietary requests. They even do an all raw menu option. The quality of the food and service is beyond great. It's a place everyone should experience.
BWM: Do you have a favorite place for cocktails that are healthier?
KC: Well I don't drink alcohol but the big emphasis at my new restaurant, Karyn's on Green, is on fresher healthier (but still delicious) cocktails and mocktails. We use ingredients like aloe, kombucha and fresh herbs in our drinks. Our wine list focuses on sustainable and organic selections.

Mission Impossible Squirrel has Better Moves than Tom Cruise [VIDEO]
Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day, and in honor of the holiday I decided this video needed to be re-posted. This squirrel is awesome.
Pets are fun to watch, but few animals show the cunning and ability as that of the squirrel. They can get into bird feeders that are specifically designed to keep them out, they can walk the tightrope better than any professional, and they can leap from tree to tree in a single bound. This Mission Impossible squirrel is showing that these animals are crafty, and his moves are better than those of Tom Cruise.
The story goes that this video was shot in England. The course is a Rube Goldberg contraption, and the owners set it up piece by piece over the course of two weeks. The squirrel would learn one part of the course and be rewarded with nuts, and once that section was mastered they would add another piece on. The result, as you see, is pretty amazing, with the furry creature making his way from one end to the other in under a minute, then getting the sweet reward at the end.

I'm afraid there are really only two events in my life right now--the remodel on the house and my recent Hollywood adventures. I'm afraid the rest is just macaroni and cheese and cleaning bathrooms so if you'll forgive me I'm going to subject you to a final recap of events from last week in L.A.--I promise it's the last I'll say about it now that my coach has turned back into a pumpkin.
I've had requests for pictures so I'm going to take the chance that maybe not all of you are going to fall asleep if I bring it up again and here are a few final shots.
"I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille."
Here's what those photographers were shooting:
Role Mommy in her hot red dress, next is Amy Clark of MomAdvice.com, then Dawn Meehan of Because I Said So, Nadine Haobsh of Jolie Nadine, me in the back (I'm always in the back--I wonder why? I'm actually scrunched down an inch or two), then Liane Farbes from The Makeup Girl, Liz Thompson from This Full House and Cindy Bokma from Hello Dollface.
I can't say enough nice things about these women, in particular the wonderful Liz and Amy (with whom I've fallen in love and have plans to adopt them both) plus Dawn and Beth with whom I had the privilege of hanging out with as we matched wits against the finest expert on Forest Gump trivia this side of Alabama. Quick: Forest fishes up three items in his net at the end of the movie, one is a can of soda (or pop, depending on your lingo) WHAT IS THAT SODA? Liz knows.
And as for my dress--here's a picture of me at the party at Chateau Marmont wearing the beautiful 24K dress sent to me from Shabby Apple. It was wonderful! (The dress and the party). I felt so glamorous in the bronze satin and the great thing is that because the style is a shirt dress it can be dressed up or down depending on the accessories. I went with a pair of burgundy patent leather Anne Klein D'orsay pumps which you can see peeking out below. Sorry, the peep toe Via Spigas hurt too much so I had to return them. But that makes--what?--FOUR Shabby Apple dresses in my closet and I love every one of them. Are you sick of me singing their praises because they're terrific. In fact, Demi Moore herself came up and asked me where I got my dress and if she could borrow it some time. Kidding. But wouldn't that make a good story?
That spot where Liane is sitting in the corner of the couch in the picture above? Kirsten Dunst was parked there for quite a while. Yup, it was that crazy. You can see a video clip Beth made of the evening here.
Next I have pictures from our Tuesday morning brunch with Leslie Russo and Bill Wackerman from Glamour, Francesca Silvestri of Freestyle Productions and Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith. Or more specifically, here's a picture of Kiwi and I after the brunch was over. I'm a real chicken about asking for autographs or pictures--it was easier to just hang around with Amy who'd ask for a picture and then I could kind of just act real cool and say "Yea, me too!" and sneak it in that way. Yea, I'm sly like that.
You remember my supermodel story? We were at dinner at Nobu when Cindy noticed May Anderson at the table next to us? Well considering I thought she looked quite unremarkable in her au natural look of no-make up and very little hair fuss this picture Cindy took of Amy and May gives you some idea of the star power May has with the camera. That's in a dark room. With a flash, people! I couldn't get that good of a shot of me if you had the greatest photographer and the best lighting on the planet. I think Amy was standing on the table to reach up to her. (Again, I'm kidding--but not by much).
And finally, because I'm not above a little humiliation, here's a picture of Liz and me sitting in the courtyard at Lukaro Salon waiting for our Big Reveal. We were meeting the Suave team who had treated us so wonderfully and really, I'm not trying to look that goofy, I think I was trying to protect my new manicure and had been blowing on my nails before being surprised with a handshake. I look like a cast member from The Sound of Music, like I could burst into song at any moment or something.
But at least it gives you an idea of the wonderful time they created for us--thank you Suave and Glamour for making us feel so special and to the wonderful team of women that gave us a week we'll not soon forget. Thanks to them and Lukaro I'm officially hooked on Suave's exfoliating body scrub and their Freeze Hold Shaping and Finishing Spray. This could be the start of a beautiful thing!
Beth from New Berlin, Wisconsin has had the good fortune to be this week's giveaway winner and has won a set of personalize paper dolls from Anklebiters.
Sponsored by Dimples and Dandelions--for the Serena and Lily Bedding Collection for Children.

Brother Augustine Towey dies at 75
Brother Augustine Towey, who led Niagara University's theater department for 42 years and built it into one of the most prestigious undergraduate theater programs in the United States, died Thursday in Philadelphia after a long illness. He was 75.
Towey – known affectionately as "Bro" by his students, fellow faculty and friends throughout the theater world – came to Niagara University in 1963 to teach English. He soon took charge of the school's extracurricular theater group and began molding it into a productive and highly sought-after program, which he led until his retirement in 2005.
Across his storied career at Niagara, Towey directed more than 135 productions.
Towey remained active at Niagara and in the Western New York theater community after his retirement, but fell ill in 2010 and moved to St. Vincent's Seminary in Philadelphia.
As news of his death spread across social media, an outpouring of support came from across the local theater community and beyond.
"I think his influence was massive in theater in Western New York, and primarily through Niagara University, through the theater program. He really built that single-handedly, he had a vision for it, he set a bar for it," said Irish Classical Theatre Company co-founder and artistic director Vincent O'Neill, who frequently worked with Towey. "It's immeasurable what he added. He truly was a visionary and his knowledge of theater was phenomenal. It was quite extraordinary, just the depth of his knowledge of every area of theater."
Throughout his extensive career as an educator and director, Towey cultivated friendships and collaborations not only with area producers and actors, but with major figures from New York City theater. Perhaps his longest and most fruitful relationship was with John Kander and the late Fred Ebb, the team behind the musicals "Chicago," "Cabaret" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman."
Kander, who spoke to The Buffalo News from New York City, met Towey on his first trip with Ebb to Niagara University to work with students on a production of "Chicago."
"We both almost immediately became enamored and involved with the department and with Brother Augustine," he said. "We were unbelievably impressed with what he had created up there and our connection with him and the department continued for years. He did a lot of productions of pieces of ours and we became very close friends as well."
Kander and O'Neill both described Towey as intellectually gifted, uncommonly open-minded, passionate and articulate about the theater. Kander recalled an incident during a question-and-answer event at NU in which Towey gave a characteristically virtuosic response to a crass question.
"There was somebody from the paper who asked how it was that a Catholic university would have the temerity to put on a piece of obscenity like 'Chicago.' And Brother Augustine did half an hour, at least, talking about the definition of obscenity. It was breathtaking, and whoever it was had no more questions."
Brother Augustine Towey was born Denis Joseph Towey June 30, 1937 in Hempstead, on Long Island. He was ordained as a member of the Vincentian Order in October 1961.
He earned his doctorate in theater from New York University along with a certificate in Shakespeare and Elizabethan theatre from the University of Birmingham in England and a masters degree in dramatic literature from St. John's University in New York City.
After arriving to teach at Niagara in 1963 at the age of 27, he gradually helped to form the school's theater program, which officially became a concentration at the school in 1975 and an official department in the late 1980s.
He was a longtime board member for Artpark in Lewiston, where he directed dozens of productions and founded and directed the Artpark Repertory Theatre from 1975 to 2003.
While at Niagara, he wrote several plays – including "Vincent in Heaven" and "Letters from Niagara" – along with an opera, "A Beggar's Christmas." He received several local and national awards for his work, including the Niagara University medal of honor in 1989, the Artvoice Artie Award for career achievement in 1997 and a 2006 outstanding artist award from the Arts Council in Buffalo and Erie County.
Niagara theater department chair Sharon Watkinson, who was a student of Towey's when he started at Niagara, credited him with laying the groundwork for a theater program that continues to power along in his absence and lamented the fact the he would not be around to see the fruits of his labor.
"You just wanted to please Bro. You wanted to be a part of his team and you wanted to just make him happy. He created in all of us this sense of being able to create something from nothing, from a simple word on the page. To make something happen and to make it happen collaboratively," she said. "We're all still reaping the benefits of all of that. If it had not been for Bro that would not have happened. That was his vision. He just always believed it was going to happen, it was going to happen. And it did."
Dozens of actors and directors working on the local theater scene and beyond are, in some senses, products of Towey's tenure at Niagara. They include familiar names like Paul Todaro, Maureen Poerter, Cassie Gorniewicz and dozens of others.
While at Niagara, Towey also directed 10 productions for the Irish Classical Theatre Company, where he is fondly remembered as much for his thoughtful and visionary directing as for his often self-deprecating sense of humor.
"We were taking a walk one day and he said to me, 'You know Vincent, when I was ordained as a priest I took three vows: a vow of obedience, a vow of poverty and a vow of chastity. And I've kept two out of the three, which is not a bad percentage. I think Christ would be happy with that when I get up there."
Towey was also a lifelong devotee of poetry and a prolific poet himself. His work is collected in the 2008 book, "The Poem You Asked For." His latest book of poetry, "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph: Pieces for the Holy Family," was released earlier this year.
For Kander, who like many of Towey's friends and admirers was audibly distraught over his death on Friday morning, the spirit of Bro and his legacy as a passionate teacher of theater will continue to reverberate well into the future.
"He felt a sense of responsibility to his students that I have rarely seen in other theater schools. He brought an incredible sense of humanity to the department itself," Kander said. "Watching the kids work there and develop, some of whom we got to know ... As they became better actors, they became better people. And it all stems from him. He really believed, deeply, in the power of the theater to make people better."

However, other people came into my life to become new friends and now they are old friends, people I can trust and rely on to be there for me no matter what. I have 75 friends on my Facebook page and 74 people have signed up to "follow" my blog. So, I consider myself lucky to have that many people who think that I'm worthy of being their friend. Today I'm dedicating my poem to all my friends, near and far as well as to those I haven't met face to face yet.
Friendship is the yellow of marigolds.
It looks like radiant double rainbows.
It sounds like "girls just wanna have fun."
It smells like a fresh baked cinnamon bun.
It tastes like pineapple dripping off our chins.
It feels like huge hugs after our team wins.
Friendship is a gilded thread uniting two souls.

For every great play, there's an opponent who got pancaked, got burned, made a bad read, got his jockstrap handed to him, we'll just call it a bonehead play, that Seattle players skillfully took advantage of, to turn into a key play during the season. Let's keep it to the regular season, with a special eye towards opponent blunders that positively stand out on replay, even if they weren't obvious at game speed.
I'll start the list with the top 3 plays I can immediately think of:
1. Houston game: #51 for Houston takes a bad angle and whiffs on Wilson, allowing Wilson to scramble for a 1st down on a key 4th down play. Whitney Mercilius could get honorable mention on the same play, but #51 clearly makes a far more bonehead play. #51 must have been cut right after this, as I can't find who this player is from Houston's 2013 roster.
2. Same Houston game, late in the 4th quarter, Schaub lofts up the pick-6 wounded duck gift that Sherman happily accepts and runs in for a score.
3. Rams game, at St. Louis, Janoris Jenkins gets outleaped by Golden Tate for a Wilson Hail Mary pass that Tate then turns into a long TD play.
olyfan63 wrote:SoulfishHawk wrote:The 4th down conversion by RW vs. the Texans. Still can't see how the hell he got that, they had it bottled up and he got past that 1st down marker. HUGE
Yeah, that one!
That was truly a Houdini, a Tarkenton-esque play. It made no sense how he escaped Whitney Mercilius, then outran JJ Watt and Justin Tuggle to the marker, but the key to the play was #51 of the Texans, who came flying in, had Wilson dead to rights, apparently trying for a big hit, and Wilson subtly juked him and changed his angle, such that #51 missed the tackle, and Wilson got the 1st down.
Anyone know who this Houston linebacker #51 is? I couldn't find him in the 2013 roster list. I wouldn't be surprised if he got cut the week after that play. Positively an Aaron-Curry-esque play by that dude. I know what you're thinking--why pick on Aaron Curry, and not Kelly Jennings? Well, Kelly Jennings would have hit Wilson square and then bounced off, but this was closer to a whiff, so it was Curry-esque, not Jennings-esque.)
Anyway, I nominate mystery player #51 of Houston for making the biggest opponent play of the Seattle 2013 season. (maybe tied with Schaub's pick-6, but if #51 doesn't f-up this play, Schaub's play is moot. Heck, let's just give this #51 stiff a Super Bowl ring already for his contribution. I suppose "top opponent (bonehead) play of 2013" would be an entertaining thread while we're waiting for training camp to start. Alright, I'll start it already.

Hannover Messe: Festo robotics, valves, motion control, software
Festo debut a wide range of products and presented their growth at the 2011 Hannover Fair, earlier this month. Here are some Festo's 2011 highlights (PDF):
Finding inspiration in nature
What do the herring gull and the elephant's trunk have to do with automation technology? Festo looked towards nature to answer some long-standing questions but also to influence their automation technology design. With SmartBird, engineers from Festo have decoded the flight of birds, thus accomplishing a further breakthrough in automation technology. Just as with the Bionic Handling Assistant – which in 2010 received the German Future Prize, the highest award in the field of technology – and with the learning system Robotino XT and the Bionic Tripod 3.0, Festo is focusing this year on energy efficiency and lightweight construction. Festo is providing fresh impulse not only in factory automation, but also in process automation: OptoFluidic paves the way for efficient analysis and diagnostic processes that allow continuous non-destructive analysis of fluids.
Mastering the fundamentals of electrical engineering
Industrial mechanics, electricians and mechatronics experts all share one aspect of vocational training: they must master the fundamentals of electrical engineering. At the 2011 Hanover Trade Fair, Festo Didactic presented the latest educational trends and learning systems such as the TP 1011 electrical engineering training unit, the recipient of the iF Product Design Award 2011. These systems provide opportunities for efficient industry-oriented training at companies and universities. Simulation games such as the Synchro Game from the Training and Consulting sector expressed how processes in production or administration can be improved, thus bringing about savings in terms of costs, time and energy. Targeted seminars on the topic of Energy Saving sensitized the market in terms of cost and energy efficiency.
Products of Note
- The Profisafe module for the CPX terminal, the valve terminals VTSA and VTSA-F with control block VOFA for reversing the cylinder movement and protection against unexpected start-up as well as ready-to-install safety system solutions are just some of Festo's safety highlights.
- The electric toothed belt axis ELGG features two slides synchronized by a single toothed belt and powered by a single motor. The axis can generally be used for movements in opposite directions.
- The pneumatic proportional media valve VZQA from Festo offers advantages over flap valves or ball valves: free product flow, low weight and low energy consumption. It also meters flow rates quickly and very precisely in conjunction with proportional pressure regulators VPPM and the modular electrical terminal CPX.
- FluidDraw Professional software enables planners and developers to draw integrated circuit plans quickly and cost-effectively. The intelligent software solution permits user-friendly creation of clear structures, even with complex systems, and now also supports electrical circuit diagrams.
Global growth
Strong market standing in Europe and Germany – coupled with its international alignment with the boom regions of Asia and America – helped Festo AG post record sales in its fiscal year 2010. Global sales climbed 37% to $2.56 billion (prior year: $1.85 billion). In Europe – traditionally Festo's largest market – the company raised sales by 31%. Asia grew by 75%, North and South America by 45%. On the domestic German market, sales began modestly but then climbed rapidly to 33% for the year as a whole. In Festo's new business fields, Process Automation posted sales growth of 25% while Electric Drives enjoyed growth in excess of 90%.
In addition to its European activities, Festo has also been realigning its overseas business since 2010 in order to fully exploit growth opportunities in newly allocated global markets. As a family-owned company, Festo aims to strengthen its financial independence and align its global supply chain in such a way that it can react even more swiftly and flexibly in future to highly volatile international markets. The Electric Drives and Process Automation divisions are to be expanded further, together with industry-relevant training and consulting, in order to provide a full range of products and services as well as one-stop-shopping solutions from Factory to Process Automation. Global headcount rose to 14,600 in 2010 (prior year: 13,500), of which 6,800 people (prior year: 6,600) were employed in Germany and 7,800 (prior year: 6,900) abroad. The company invested strongly in education and training for its employees in 2010, as well as in future-oriented technologies. Spending on new product development in Germany amounted to 9.5% of sales. At Hanover 2011, presented 66 new products and numerous solutions for safe, intelligent and energy-efficient green production under the heading "Focus on Efficiency" – from Mechatronic Motion Solutions to Bionics. For its fiscal year 2011, the Management Board expects slower macroeconomic growth, but a double-digit increase in Festo's global sales of well over 10%.

Welcome to the October edition of Grace After Fire's monthly newsletter. As an organization we are committed to keeping you up-to-date and informed about what we are planning for the future. Our mission of Grace After Fire is to provide the means for women Veterans to gain knowledge, insight and self-renewal. We are dedicated to helping women Veterans help themselves.
|In This Issue
|2012 Fall Summit
|From the CEO
|Texas Veterans Commission
|Our Board of Directors
2012 Women Veteran's Fall Summit "Building a Healing Home to Discover the Power of Women Veterans"
On October 13th women Veterans from throughout the state of Texas gathered together to protect, connect and renew. The day was spent with open discussion among participants and facilitators about items of interest including money management, preparing to search for job, and nutrition and wellness.
The women were given the opportunity to listen to Rebecca Halstead, BGen USA (ret) talk about "Surviving to Thriving" and Dr. Carol Ann Malizia, co-founder of Girls, Gals and Gurus talk about " What You Do and Don't Do Determines Your Destiny" .
Additionally the women had the opportunity to learn stretching techniques to help reduce tension and the opportunity to receive facials. Throughout the day there were door prizes including a Kindle, a weekend at the host hotel, The Marriott Courtyard, Sea World Westover Hills and round trip tickets from Southwest Airlines.
For more photos from our fall summit visit our Facebook.
From the CEO
DO YOU VOTE? Those of us who wore that military uniform have a huge responsibility to vote.
Remember the young girl in Afghanistan who got shot in the face? Her crime...wanting girls to get an education. Can't imagine that happening in America? Well, it was within this century that women were imprisoned because they had the audacity to demand the right to vote. And it was within the last five decades that women were forced from military service because they wanted to marry or have children. Why less than 20 years ago, Congress reversed the combat exclusion law for most military career fields opening the doors for women. So when we read in the paper about equality for women in other countries, don't forget we have worked hard for our own rights here in America.
SO, SHOULD YOU VOTE? Women were force fed in prison for your right to vote, ask them if it matters. Our grandmothers were separated from their military service when they got pregnant with us. Think they care? I actually remember the day a friend called to tell me about the combat exclusion law changing for women...I gathered my then 4-year old daughter and told her, "you can do anything you dream of now." Should my sacrifices matter to her generation, should they matter to you?
I believe those of us who volunteered to serve our nation in uniform still bear a responsibility to it, as well as the generations that benefited from our service. Keep the dreams of our daughters alive and honor our collective sisters who went before us.
VOTE, like you mean it.

The American Land Forces Institute
ALFI's mission and purpose is to act as the nation's advocate for America's land forces; make American military power as dominant on land as it is in the air, sea and space; prepare our nation's military men and women to survive as well as succeed in all of the challenges that they face; and help them transition successfully to civilian life.
ALFI is one of the nation's leading advocates for active duty and reserve Army, Marine, Special Operating and National Guard forces; Veterans who are working to transition successfully to civilian life; and American law enforcement personnel defending America's communities and borders against terrorists and international criminal organizations.
The nexus uniting all of these active land forces, Veterans and law enforcement officers is that they are essential to protecting national security; they risk death and disproportionately die at the hands of the nation's enemies while serving in uniform; and they need sustained advocacy, support and highly specialized training to survive and succeed in the challenging continuum from training to combat missions to reintegration into civilian society.
ALFI is non-partisan and independent of any federal or state agency, political party, or private concern. Our goal is to get to the 'ground truth' with objectivity and clarity. Our motto is Service with Heart. ALFI is dedicated to bringing both passion and proven experience to every issue we address.

Entering into the most advanced telecom market on the African continent may also help the company's ambition to go public.
The prospect of a merger between Kenya's second- and third-largest mobile operators appears to have been revived.

Bahrain Unrest Stirs Unease in WashingtonWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Police State
After months of ruling Al Khalifa family crackdowns against nonviolent protesters, political opponents, human rights activists, medical professionals, independent journalists, and others wanting democratic change, reports suggest Washington may move its Fifth Fleet elsewhere.
According to the Australian and London Times, "Sources in Washington and the Gulf confirm (a) growing consensus" around the idea of relocating away from Bahrain because of unease over violence and instability.
On July 21, Hugh Tomlinson said:
"Politicians in Washington are concerned the navy's continued presence a few kilometres from the centre of the capital Manama lends tacit support to Bahrain's suppression of the opposition, amid allegations of systematic human rights abuses."
Other concerns are that violence and instability may compromise base security. According to one source:
"There was talk on Capitol Hill about moving the fleet within days of the protests breaking out, and that increased in March and April as people realized that what was happening in Bahrain ran counter to our interests."
In mid-March, however, Obama backed Saudi troops invading Bahrain guns blazing, attacking peaceful protesters, arresting opposition leaders and activists, occupying the country, denying wounded men and women medical treatment, and enforcing Al Khalifa family imposed martial law.
Earlier, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Bahraini human rights "deteriorated sharply in the latter half of 2010" with around 250 government critics detained and tortured, including 25 prominent activists. In addition, opposition publications and web sites were shut down, after months of street protests.
Moreover, a February 2010 HRW report concluded that from 2007 - 2009, authorities tortured and abused security suspects during interrogations. Officials denied the findings, but conducted no criminal investigations nor ordered disciplinary measures against alleged perpetrators.
Judicial abuses also occurred. On March 28, 2010 for example, an appellate court convicted 19 men for murdering a security officer, overturning an October 2009 lower court acquittal. It found no evidence linking them to the crimes other than coerced confessions.
Other serious human rights abuses were also reported, including numerous arrests, detentions and torture of human rights activists.
Because of close US ties to Bahrain's regime and other regional despots, it's unsurprising that a new Zogby International Arab American Institute poll showed America and Obama scored poorly in five out of six countries surveyed over issues of interfering in the Arab world.
In fact, Obama's low approval rating surpasses George Bush's worst level. In Egypt, it's 5%, 10% in Jordan, 12% in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 12% in Morocco, and 33% in Saudi Arabia.
Respondents call Israel's continued occupation of Palestine the greatest "obstacle to peace and stability in the Middle East." America's interference in the Arab world ranked second, Obama's war on Libya reinforcing that view.
Possible Alternative Fifth Fleet Locations
Alternate ones include the United Arab Emirates (UAE) or Qatar, though neither has the capacity to handle 40 ships and 30,000 personnel, so moving there remains years away.
Sources say the UAE is most likely as the navy already stations its aircraft carriers at Jebel Ali, Dubai's main port, and maintains an Al Dhafra air base.
Washington also has its forward CENTCOM headquarters in Qatar at its Al Udeid air base, 45 km from Doha, the capital. In addition, it pre-positioned large equipment supplies at Sayliyah army base.
Moreover, a new port being built outside Doha has been expanded to include a naval base, adjoining the commercial facility. However, local sources say it's mainly for Qatar's navy, though plans could easily change.
However, any move from Bahrain would be costly, time consuming, and logistically hard because of the Fifth Fleet's size. Nonetheless, political realities may force a change. At the same time, Bahrain will pay a price if it happens. The fleet's been there for decades, using its port since the 1940s with a larger presence since the 1970s, expanded in the early 1990s.
It's located in the heart of the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz through which about 40% of the world's oil flows.
On March 16, the World Tribune headlined, "Sources: Fifth Fleet abandons base in Bahrain; Navy denies evacuation underway," saying:
"The US Navy has begun to vacate its facilities in Bahrain, diplomatic sources said," despite CENTCOM's denial. If reports were accurate, many personnel "were transfered to Oman, where a naval exercise was taking place."
The Fifth Fleet Public Affairs Office said although departures of family members and "non-essential civilian personnel living in Bahrain" were authorized, operations "at US Fifth Fleet and NSA Bahrain remain normal, and US service members and family members are not being evacuated."
However, unidentified sources said Washington wrote off Bahrain, believing the Al Khalifa may collapse. Whether or not it's true isn't known.
What is known is Bahrain's reputation as "a good place to do business" is fractured. Its economy has suffered, and bond rating lowered from A3 (upper medium grade) to BAA1 (lower medium grade junk status).
Moreover, many Western businesses relocated large numbers of staff over concerns about the country's stability. In addition, unidentified US sources believe the once valued Al Khalifa monarchy is now more a liability. Daily protests met by violent crackdowns reinforce that view.

I am reminded of the note I read about this a couple months ago. Publishing giant Harper Collins rolled out a new imprint called Harper Studios, including ten books planned for celebrity chef Emeril. What is unique about this imprint is that even for a fancy name like Emeril, they are not paying advances. Instead, they plan to increase royalties to as much as 50%. Royalties have traditionally been around 15%.
This is a big change, and if other publishers cleverly follow suit, it will dash a lot of dreams of big up-front advances. Of course, every couple weeks we are told by a prospective client that they want us to find them a publisher who will provide a hefty advance…
1. We write, we are not literary agents.
2. Publishers are doing you a favor by risking their necks on an unknown author. They are not going to give you a big advance.
As Harper Collins spokesman Robert Miller says, "Advances have skyrocketed but sales haven't grown." Authors will have to convince not just the publisher of the value of printing their manuscript, but also the public of the value of reading it.

New Dragon Ball Z Movie
Tye movie will be made by Akira Toriyama and released March 30. Here is the good stuff we know so far:
The timeline is between Dragon Ball Z manga chapters 323 and 324 or 517 (or 517 and 518 when factoring in the original Dragon Ball). In other words, Dragon Ball Z 2013 will tell the story of what happens after Goku defeats Kid Buu, but before the 10 year timeskip and the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament.

Knowing there'll be another animated DBZ movie after all these years was enough to make my day. But to know it's canon and that it will take place after Buu's defeat just makes the possibilities all the more exciting. Because this means (unlike those previous OVA's), we stand a good chance of seeing Goku go SSJ3 again. This movie even opens up the possibility for Gogeta to make his very first *canon* appearance! And as if this wasn't enough, the action, animation, and visuals are all likely to be updated to current standards (for lack of a better term).
Long story short, I'm completely psyched for this. The only question I'll be wondering is what possible threat will be introduced to force our OP'd protagonists to have to go all out one last time.

^ Duh more money what they or well some of them see this $$$.
My favorite saga was the Cell Saga. I found the change in Gohan when he went SS2 interesting . I mean look how he acted and behaved.
He acted more like a Saiyan or acted more like a primitive Saiyan.

Dragonball just never dies, huh? This makes me wonder if we'll be seeing One Piece movies 10 years from now. Anyway, as others have said, that god it's not live action Interesting timeline pick to make the movie...

Well, it was about time they decided to fit in stuff between the time skip. I always knew it was intentional for possible future stories.
Krillin is looking like a younger version of his GT self.

And while this looks promising, I gotta say I'm still waiting for them to ever revisit Future Trunks' timeline. Surely they could milk another Broly movie or Buu movie out of him. And if the new Bardock special is anything to go by, they'd do well to tie in Super Saiyan 3 Trunks from Dragon Ball Heroes into continuity.

One Piece might still be ongoing 10 years from now.
Anyways this sounds really cool. Okay DBZ might not be the greatest thing ever but it's sure a lot of fun. It was my first anime or the series that started my anime fandom so it will always have a special place in my heart.
Frankly I was a bit disappointed with the"ending" of DBZ and the less said about GT the better but I did enjoy the Buu saga and where the characters were at during this point of the story.
And yes I hope we see Gogeta!
There is certainly a 90's renaissance going on lately.
edit: Okay so I was thinking with this, the new Sailor Moon series, and the Rurouni Kenshin stuff (although that last one was a disappointment)
The only thing left too announce is something for Yu Yu Hakusho.
