Kapoho is truly is a swimmer's paradise. The volcano-heated fishponds are a very toasty temperature. The ocean is warm, too, compared to most locales. There are amazing sights just beneath the surface, so be sure you get out some snorkeling or diving gear and go investigate. You will discover a beautiful, mysterious and fascinating world under the sea.
Here are a few places to swim and dive. Geographically from closest to further away.
Kapoho Beach and nearby Vacationland (see below) are two of the Big Island's best spots for swimming and snorkeling A fantastic labyrinth of tide pools and volcanically heated swimming holes were formed when lava claimed down Kilauea's slopes and into the sea.
The pools are permeated by fresh ocean waters that bring with them a vast array of marine life, yet are sheltered from the hammering surf and treacherous rip tides present at many Big Island beaches.
The first group of swimming areas are at Kapoho Beach. Only guests staying at Kapoho Beach have easy access to these spots.
In Kapoho small tide pools dot the entire coastline. These pools are filled to the brim with sea creatures, making them an excellent place for exploration. The Kapoho tide pools boast many different types of fish and a multicolored coral bed. In Kapoho you will find crystal clear water and calm surf conditions which are excellent for children and weaker swimmers.
Regardless of the ocean conditions, these tidal pools are protected from the surf. The calm conditions also allow easy entry into the water. However, make sure you bring sandals / water shoes for the short walk over lava rocks. You will also find lava shelves for sunbathing.
Many of the pools here are interconnected and allow you to snorkel from pool to pool. These tide pools are so close together, that when they are not interconnected, you can simply climb out of one and drop down into the next one. This is a nice trip even if you do not have snorkeling gear. The clear tidal pools and warm sun offer a true taste of paradise.
This map will guide you while you are in the Kapoho Beach Lots community regarding where the swimming accesses into the Kapoho Bay/ocean. My favorite accesses are #1, 5 & 6 access paths ?
If majestic black sand beaches are on your itinerary, take the scenic drive down Red Road to Kehena You may recognize it – it's often used as a location for TV commercials because of its beauty. Body boarding and body surfing are possible during calmer tides. Kehena is also great for getting tans without lines – it's secluded and rather inconspicuous location has made it a favorite swimming and picnicking area among the Island's 'clothing optional' inhabitants.This spectacular beach will certainly take your breath away, but don't let your good judgment follow_ The beach sits at the bottom of a cliff and you mast navigate a fairly steep path down to the beach There aren't any lifeguards or services. The currents there can be VERY strong (take it from one who found out first hand!), so don't swim out too far Use caution stay reasonably close to shore (when in doubt, watch the locals) and you'll have a blast swimming and riding the waves.There are not any signs, but there are usually a number of cars parked here in the small parking lot and along the shoulder of the road. You can't see the beach from the road, but if you follow the path just before the parking lot and make your way (carefully') down the slope, you will be rewarded with the sight of one of Puna most striking beaches.To get there: Drive past the gatehouse to the end of the road – Turn left onto Red Road (highway 137) – Proceed for about 11 miles to the 19-mile marker – Unfortunately, there isn't a 19-mile marker so check your odometer at the 18-mile marker – Park along the side of the road or in the parking lot on the left side of the road.
This bit of shoreline was named for the University of Hawaii, who 'seeded' it with many different types of coral after the 1960 lava flow here at Kapoho Beach. The coral has since flourished and is truly a sight to see Tropical fish abound here, and our resident turtle family likes to feed there, too.University Pond and Black Sand Beach can be reached: Follow Laimana Road going out from Kapoho Paradise Home – Turn right towards the lighthouse – Turn right at the end, then – Bare left and follow the loop road onto the lava flow – Take the public access road out – Marked by a small chain and sign saying 'no vehicles' – Out onto the lava flow – Follow the path to the ocean and then look to your right – Go over to the little trees and you'll find the black sand beach – From the shore you usually can't even tell that it's a pond unless the tide is exceptionally low.University Pond is also accessible from Champagne Pond: Follow the 4-wheel drive road out around the point towards the lighthouse – The pond is marked by the second patch of green bushes and small trees – The remainder of the areas are accessible by everyone.
The neighborhood just southwest of Kapoho Beach is known as Vacationland Vacationland's lava flows provide an excellent setting for swimming, diving and picnicking, as is evidenced by the number of locals you will see out on the lava flows with their picnic stuff. The coral and fish laden tide pools here, make for great snorkeling. For the best coral, head out towards the waves at about a 45 degree angle When you reach the coral, turn back towards the shore and you'll find aces of very old coral that has been spared by lava flows for ages.To get there from Kapoho Beach: Go past the gatehouse – Turn left at the first din (cinder) road – Turn left (about 4 blocks) on paved road called Kapoho Kai Drive – Follow main road to the end – Turn left as the road bends to the left, you'll see the water – The public access area is on the right.To get there from anywhere else: Go south (towards Kalapana) on Red Road (Rt. 137) – Turn left at fourth road (Kapoho Kai Drive) – Follow main road to the end – Turn left as the road bends to the left, you'll see the water – The public access area is on the right.
There you can access an 8-mile 4-wheel-drive road across Kapapala Ranch and through Kapapala Forest Reserve to the Ainapo trailhead. Limited parking is available. Note: Use of the Ainapo Trail requires hikers and campers to contact Kapapala Ranch at (808) 928-6202 to obtain the combination for their locked gate. This combination is changed on a daily basis. Please contact the Ranch during the "evening" hours of 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. prior to your hikeTrail Distance. The distance from the trailhead to the Ainapo Trail Shelter at Halewai is approximately 2.7 miles (hiking time approx. 2.5 hours). After Halewai, the trail ascends 7.5 miles (hiking time approx. 8-12 hours) to the Mauna Loa cabin on the rim of Mokuaweoweo within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. (This latter section of the trail is considered challenging and should not be attempted by novice hikers or those unfamiliar with the extreme environmental conditions. which may be encountered.) General Information: Rain catchment water is available at the trail shelter at Halewai at the 7.750 foot elevation. PURIFY BEFORE DRINKING.

Caution: The trail lies within a unit B game management area. Seasonal bird hunting is allowed within Kapapala Ranch.
The Ainapo Trail, from Kapapala to Mokuaweoweo, the summit caldera on Mauna Loa, was pioneered by prehistoric Hawaiians. Vegetation varies from mixed mesic koa/ohia forest to alpine stone desert. Note: The Ainapo Trail to Mauna Loa Summit is rougher and steeper than either of the two Hawaii Volcanoes National Park trails to the Mauna Loa Summit listed elsewhere in this section.
It is home to Kilauea Volcano, Mauna Loa's dynamic smaller sibling which provides frequent opportunities for lava viewing. For your safety, upon arrival talk to the ranger in the Kilauea Visitor Center about current lava flow conditions. There are a wide variety of walks. hikes. and back-country trails in the Park (see Hawaii Volcanoes National Park trails below). Whenever you hike, let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return. Carry adequate water according to the hike's difficulty. length. and the expected temperature. Most Park trails are well maintained and marked, but some back-country trails are rough, marked only by ahu, which are cairns (piles of rock). Free trail guides and other important information is available at the Park's Kilauea Visitor Center See camping section for camping and cabins in the Park. For more information, please visit the Park's Website. (The 7-day park entry fee is $10 per vehicle; $5 per bicyclist or pedestrian; free for Golden Age/Eagle Passport holders.)

Library Of Congress Hoping To Cut Through Tangled Copyright Laws In Order To Archive Historic Sound Recordings
from the good-luck-with-that dept
The copyright laws governing sound recordings are a mess, especially here in the US. The steady march of copyright protection towards perpetuity hasn't helped, extending protection on original recordings to the point where archiving decaying media is generally perceived to border on impossible.
In Europe, sound recordings enter the public domain 50 years after their initial release. Once that happens, anyone can reissue them, which makes it easy for Europeans to purchase classic records of the past. In America, by contrast, sound recordings are "protected" by a prohibitive snarl of federal and state legislation whose effect was summed up in a report issued in 2010 by the National Recording Preservation Board of the Library of Congress: "The effective term of copyright protection for even the oldest U.S. recordings, dating from the late 19th century, will not end until the year 2067 at the earliest.… Thus, a published U.S. sound recording created in 1890 will not enter the public domain until 177 years after its creation, constituting a term of rights protection 82 years longer than that of all other forms of audio visual works made for hire."We've discussed this problem here before. For instance, an entire library of 1930's jazz recordings is locked up at the National Jazz Museum, available for listening by "appointment only." While it's being archived in an effort to preserve it, the recordings themselves cannot be accessed otherwise by the general public. Other works aren't even that lucky. Historic audio recordings are degrading and disappearing, but the twisted maze of copyright laws governing these recordings has thwarted archival efforts. The Library of Congress, our nation's largest archive, is hoping to prevent this from happening. Following up on its study on sound recording preservation from 2010, the Library has narrowed down the aspects of American copyright law that will need to change if this national archival plan is to become a reality.
As part of its preservation plan for sound recording, the Library of Congress has made three common-sense recommendations for copyright reform:Bringing all recordings under federal law will (unbelievably) result in more of these works becoming public domain. A tangle of ancient state laws is to blame for the 177-year waiting period, although several legislative extensions of copyright length hasn't helped.
• "Bring sound recordings fixed before February 15, 1972, under federal copyright law."
• "Enable recordings whose copyright owners cannot be identified or located to be more readily preserved and accessed legally."
• "Revise section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 in order to facilitate preservation and expand public access to sound recordings."
A call for archiving of orphan works is rarely greeted with enthusiasm by proponents of the copyright industry -- unless its their idea, in which case they're more than willing to go right ahead and monetize unclaimed creations. But the moment anyone starts talking about "archiving" these works, hackles get raised and the word "exploitation" starts getting thrown around. So, that's another hurdle the Library of Congress will have to leap.
Finally, Section 108 is in desperate need of revision. Its current wording limits access to any digital copies to "library premises," making uploading these to a publicly accessible website infringement. This limitation ignores the reality of a digitally connected world and limits access to this sort of archive solely to those who can visit the actual "premises."
Despite the importance of this work, it seems unlikely this will get off the ground anytime soon, if it happens at all. As the Wall Street Journal articles points out, given the current state of our economy (among other things), it's hard to believe the administration will make this a priority.
Beyond that, there's nothing in it for the copyright industry. As the laws stand now, it can control these works for well over one hundred years, even if "controlling" the catalog means little more than simply preventing others from releasing these works, either commercially or non-commercially. In these cases, copyright "protection" feels more like "protectionism," allowing the incumbents to maintain the status quo with a minimum of expense or effort. And if there's one thing incumbents like, it's more of the same, something the Library of Congress' plans would alter.
It's a fight worth fighting but it's highly doubtful the Library will find the allies it needs at this point. But one wonders why this fight even needs to be a fight? After all, as the article points out, books lapse into the public domain all the time and as they do, new publishers craft new copies, thus ensuring the work simply doesn't degrade and disappear. Copyright protection that extends far past the vanishing point is only hurting our cultural history. The recording industry may be concerned about preserving its legacy, but every move its made up to this point has been entirely about self-preservation. Hopefully an effort like this will be greeted with enthusiasm rather than reticence by the rights holders.

Christians should have no part in racial profiling.
Racial Profiling for the Christian
For the Christian, there should be no racial profiling. There is only one race in the eyes of God, the human race. There are God's people, and there are people who have not chosen God. Those people who truly believe in God, have accepted the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, repented of their sins, and have chosen to follow the Lord. They are the children of God. Those people who have not done this are not the children of God. They are still His highest form of creation, created in His image, but until they choose Jesus as their Savior and follow Him, they are not children of God. God's children are brothers and sisters in Christ. They are the family of God. It doesn't matter what color they are, because God made a wonderful variety of colors and features. All that God has made is beautiful, and it only becomes ugly when sin and Satan enter into it. Should Christians be prejudiced, jealous, hateful, fuss, fight and name call? Absolutely not, and if they do, they need to repent, ask forgiveness, and change their ways immediately. Christians need to represent the Lord Jesus Christ in all they say and do. Christians should not be involved in any form of racial profiling or prejudicial activities. Christians should love their brothers and sisters, and witness to those who are not Christians.
The Black Panthers, the KKK and other similar organizations are not Christian organizations. They do not represent the Lord Jesus Christ, and Christians should stay away from them. Christians should belong to a good Bible believing, serving, witnessing, mission minded church. Unfortunately, too many people who claim to be Christians are not dedicated enough to serve Christ, and to raise their children in church. Thus, winning lost people in our nation is not going well like it should be. Also, too many of our children are lost, because they are not educated in church or witnessed to by their parents. Satan and the demons are running rampant in our country trying to indoctrinate our people with atheism, moral decay, and racial prejudice.
I attended grade school in the 1950's, high school and college in the 1960's. It was a turbulent time for racial profiling, and I lived in East St. Louis, Illinois. While the South did racial profiling and hateful prejudicial acts upon black people, the North did racial profiling and hateful prejudicial acts upon white people. All of this was unchristian, and against the will of our Savior. I first noticed the hatred, when I was riding on a city bus. I was sitting on a long side seat at the front with an elderly black man, and a well dressed black lady. My mother, younger sister, and little brother were in the first regularly positioned seat by me. Unlike in the South, black people could sit anywhere they wanted on the bus. During one of the stops, I read huge white painted letters written across the red brick wall of a building. I will never forget what it said, "Death to the blue eyed Devils." I asked my mother who the blue eyed Devils were, and the elderly black gentleman next to me said, "Don't worry about that, little girl, it's just some meanness the Black Panthers are trying to stir up." Later, at home, Mother told me that the Black Panthers were an organization that promoted hatred toward white people, and that there was another organization, the Klu Klux Klan, that promoted hatred against black people. She said that both were evil and did wicked things. She told me that Christians are not supposed to hate anyone, and are to treat everyone kindly, because Jesus loves all of us.
When I entered my teen years in the 1960's, racial crimes in East St. Louis became terrible. The Black Panthers incited young men and teenage boys to commit crimes against white people. There were home invasions, vandalism, assaults and murders in our neighborhood. The gangs of teenage boys preyed upon helpless old white people. An elderly lady in her 80's, who lived three houses down on our street, was beaten, tied to her bed, and her home ransacked. She survived and testified that it was a group of black teenage boys, who had committed the crime against her. An elderly couple, who lived one street over, had their home broken into. They were tied, beaten and their possessions stolen. They also testified that it was a group of black teenage boys. The family who lived across the alley behind also had their home invaded. Their college age son was home. The gang beat and killed the son, cutting off his head. They ravaged the house and stole all the valuable possessions. A neighbor noticed black teenage boys leaving the house with various items, and called the police. These three events happened to people that we knew. The crimes were committed by black teenage gangs. Did these white victims commit crimes against black people? No! Were they members of the KKK? No! Were their ancestors slaveholders? No! They were from the North and their ancestors fought for the Union to free the slaves. Why weren't the black teenagers in the local high school studying to get an education? East St. Louis High School was integrated. Black and white students both attended the same classes, had the same books, used the same water fountain, and used the same bathrooms. What was the problem? The Black Panthers had incited them to hate white people by telling them about all the crimes that white people had done in the South against black people. However, the poor, elderly, white people that the black teenage gangs victimized were not guilty of the crimes committed by the Southern KKK. Their only crime was being white, old and helpless.
My parents did not want me to attend East St. Louis High School, because they heard about the racial hatred for white people in the school and the beatings that occurred. So, they sold our home and moved to the Bluffs on the outskirts of East St. Louis. Belleville Township High School sent a bus to pick up the students on the bluffs. The first week of school at East St. Louis High, my best friend was cut up her arm by two black students, who were having a knife fight in the hallway. She tried to get out of the way, but couldn't. My parents were glad that they got their children out of harm's way, and that we moved. Later on, my cousin was continually persecuted by black students. He was called names, punched, and threatened, because he was a small, blonde, blue eyed white boy.
My aunt lived alone in her home, because her children were grown. She worked every day at an office job, and used the city bus system to travel back and forth. There was a black gang of men who moved in the house next to her. They were not a family. She believed that they were drug dealers. Every day, when she walked up her sidewalk to her front door, they would call her names and threaten to kill her. Her house could not be sold, because it was in a dangerous neighborhood. Her son became very worried about her, because the threats were getting worse and scaring his mother. He came with a big truck, moved out her possessions, and they deserted the nice family home. He bought her a used mobile home and moved it onto his property in a nearby town. He was a good son and fixed up the mobile home very nicely for her with a big front porch and a large back deck. She retired from her job, and didn't have to worry about being threatened every day. It was a great financial loss to her, but she was able to enjoy her grandchildren every day.
My parents both worked in East St. Louis. My mother was an office worker at Sears and my father was a supervisor at the East St. Louis Post Office. One evening after work, my mother went to the back parking lot to get in her car and go home. A gang of black young men called her names and started coming after her. She ran across the street into the dime store that was fortunately still open. The manager called the police, but the gang was gone. The next week she got a job at Scott Air Force Base, and Daddy didn't have to worry about her anymore. However, he was still having problems. His car was continually stripped in the parking lot at the Post Office. So, he bought a beat up old pickup truck to drive. There were gangs that hung out around the parking lot, and they would yell obscenities at him and threaten him. He carried a gun for protection and was afraid that he would have to shoot someone if they came after him. With that in mind, he quit his job. Daddy and Mother both got jobs at Fort Leonard Wood. They sold their house on the bluffs in East St. Louis and bought some land outside the Fort in 1968. Daddy built a house, and our family has lived here ever since.
Mother told her children that most of the black people in East St. Louis were good people. She said that we needed to pray for them, because they were treated badly by the hoodlum gangs, also. Because of the multitude of crimes, property value had dropped down to almost nothing. Most people couldn't afford to move. However, it began to be a common practice for people to just leave their homes, and find somewhere else to live away from East St. Louis. They had to save their children from being influenced by the hoodlums, or from joining a gang, or from being beaten up or even killed.
My parents' philosophy was that there are good people and bad people in the world, no matter what their color. They taught their children that stereotyping groups of people was very wrong. That is what hate organizations like the KKK and Black Panthers do. Horrible atrocities were committed against black people because they were stereotyped as evil by white hate groups. Horrible atrocities against white people were committed in retaliation because they were stereotyped as evil by black hate groups. This type of thinking is from Satan, and it is what really is evil. Christians should have no part in this type of thinking, which is stereotyping a certain race.
Our family has been acquainted with many black soldiers, and with black families in the area. They have all been very nice, and have treated us well. We are glad to have them as neighbors. We are happy to have them as brothers and sisters in Christ at church. The black students in our schools are great kids, and have been friends with our children. This is how it should be. God's people need to live together in harmony without hate groups causing mischief and racial profiling.

First off, we are not able to go before October 1st because of commitments here...are we being unrealistic trying to land a decent job at this time of year? (would there only be shady schools that would have job openings at this time? ie. teachers that have quit and ran away). Also, my girlfriend is vietnamese.. what are the realistic chances on whether or not we will be turned down on each job once we sent a picture of us in our applications? (I've heard that a lot of Korean school directors won't touch anyone whose not caucasian). Any input? Cheers!

It's hard to believe, but we're officially less than nine months away from The Avengers, perhaps the most ambitious superhero movie in cinematic history, and the one film that will definitively prove whether or not Marvel Studios' ambitious plans to weave multiple films together over several years will work with mainstream audiences.
With the recent releases of Captain America (see our 4/5 star review) and Thor (see our 3.5/5 star review), there are no more lead-in films to Joss Whedon's epic superhero team-up. While that may be a bummer to fanboys who have enjoyed one of the better superhero movie summers in recent history, there is some consolation.
Now that all the solo films have been released, we've learned all there is to know about each individual member of The Avengers. In other words, we can finally start debating The Avengers in earnest, and I'm going to kick off the conversation!
RELATED: Jon Favreau and Robert Downey, Jr. on 'Iron Man 3' and 'The Avengers'
In the comic books, Captain America has more-or-less always served as the leader of The Avengers. As such, Steve Rogers will also be the leader of the team in The Avengers film. However, as any fanboy knows, movies are a different animal than comic books, which begs the question: should Captain America be the man who gets to yell "Avengers Assemble!" on the big screen?
In the Marvel movie universe, there are really only three viable leaders for The Avengers:Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. At the risk of starting a massive argument in the comments, we're putting each of the heroes to the test to see who would be the best leader for the team.
Here are the rules. Each hero will be rated in five categories: Character, Leadership Skills, Weapons, Style, Intangibles. The winner of each category gets three points, the runner-up gets two points, and the loser gets one point. After five categories, we add up each hero's points to determine a winner. (Remember: This is just hypothetical. Captain America will more than likely be the leader of The Avengers when the movie hits theaters next year, but let's not keep that from spoiling the fun!)
Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man are all great characters, but which one of the three has the greatest moral character? Let's break it down.
As another famous Marvel hero once taught us: "With great power, comes great responsibility." While all three of our would-be leaders have great power, not all of them exercise great responsibility.
In the Iron Man films, Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark as a hard-drinking, womanizing, and aggressively sarcastic man whose genius is only rivaled by his ego. While Iron Man acts heroically, he doesn't seem to act out of an innate goodness, but rather to inflate his celebrity and improve his family's legacy (especially in Iron Man 2). Iron Man is undoubtedly a great hero, but he doesn't always demonstrate great integrity, which is why he's at the bottom of the list.
Like Iron Man, Thor is another hero whose ego sometimes kept him from doing what is morally right. Instead of fighting for something worthwhile, Thor simply fights because he's bored, putting his entire civilization at risk in the process. Unlike Iron Man, however, Thor learned from his mistakes after his powers were taken away. Maybe if somebody stole Iron Man's suits, he would have had the same epiphany. Despite his redemption, Thor's initial arrogance keeps him out of the top spot.
The clear winner in the Character category is Captain America. As played by Chris Evans, Steve Rogers is a brave and selfless soldier with an unshakable desire to do what's right (even though his 90-pound frame refused to cooperate with him). When he takes on the mantle of Captain America, Steve doesn't let his newfound powers go to his head, instead showing that his greatest strength was always his integrity.
VERDICT: Captain America (3), Thor (2), Iron Man (1)
Leadership Ability
Whoever leads The Avengers has to, you know, be a good leader. So which one of these three Marvel heavyweights has the best leadership skills?
With his dizzying array of weapons and high-tech tools, Iron Man is undoubtedly a powerhouse, but when it comes to leading a team of fellow heroes, Tony Stark just doesn't have the right temperament. As shown in Iron Man 2, Tony prefers to work solo. It's true that he eventually teams up with War Machine, but that was the exception, not the rule. It's hard to imagine Tony swallowing his ego enough to lead a team into combat and demonstrate the tactical skill necessary to guarantee victory. Again, old Shellhead comes in at the bottom.
Although his arrogance occasionally proves to be a problem, Thor definitely is a stronger leader than Iron Man. As an Asgardian warrior, Thor is battle-tested and even leads his own band of warriors (the Warriors Three). Though Iron Man might be more fun to go into battle with, I'd rather have Thor telling me what to do on the battlefield.
Of course, when it comes to true leadership, Thor can't hold a candle to Captain America, and that's why Cap wins this category as well. Through his extensive military training, Steve Rogers is well-equipped to handle a wide range of battlefield scenarios. He's also proven that he can lead men into battle, successfully leading his Howling Commandoes squad to numerous victories against the far more powerful armies of Hydra. With his humility and military expertise, Cap is the best man to lead a team of superheroes into battle.
VERDICT: Captain America (3), Thor (2), Iron Man (1)
When The Avengers hits theaters next year, we're not going to see Cap, Iron Man, and Thor sitting around playing patty cake, we're going to see huge action scenes with outrageously awesome special effects. As such, it's important that whoever leads The Avengers is packing some major powers. So, which one of our three heroes brings the best weapons and/or powers to the table? (NOTE: This category is going to start some serious arguments.)
After undergoing his transformation from 90-pound weakling to shield-wielding super-powered soldier, Captain America becomes a true force of nature. Unfortunately, while his super-strength, enhanced durability, and endlessly useful shield are impressive, they're not enough to win him this category.
With his always-evolving suit, Tony Stark is a one-man weapon of mass destruction. Thanks to the Iron Man armor, Tony can fly out of our atmosphere; shoot lasers, missiles, and energy pulses with pinpoint accuracy; and make incredibly intricate calculations with ease. Granted, when his suit is off, Tony is just as fallible as you or me, but his amazing armor still places him firmly in second place for this category.
Very few Marvel superheroes can rival Iron Man when it comes to power, but one of them is definitely Thor. As a God, Thor is virtually invulnerable, and with his mighty hammer Mjolnir, he can do practically anything the situation calls for. I'm not usually a fan of superheroes with every power (ahem, Superman), but Thor's unique combination of strengths is more than enough to win him this category.
VERDICT: Thor (3), Iron Man (2), Captain America (1)
If you're going to lead the world's premiere superhero team, you can't be some bum off the street. For such a high-profile position, you need someone who is as comfortable talking with Jay Leno as they are fighting to save the world. So who has the style to lead The Avengers?
Though Captain America showed off a knack for choreography during his stint as a USO performer, it's hard to imagine the humble Steve Rogers gracing the cover of GQ or Esquiremagazine. Cap is an old-fashioned kind of guy, and the bright lights of our modern 24-hour media might be too much for him to handle, which is why he comes in last for this category.
As a member of Asgard's royal family, Thor is used to the spotlight. Throw in his rock star looks and unique wardrobe, and it's easy to imagine Thor leading The Avengers into battle (or onto the red carpet). That being said, Thor does come from an entirely dimension, which probably means he'd have to overcome some cultural blocks before the world would embrace him. All things considered, Thor is a stylish superhero, but not stylish enough to win the category.
When it comes to style, nobody can top Tony Stark. As a billionaire playboy and the CEO of a globally recognized corporation, Tony is well-acquainted with the demands of the media and of the difficulty of living a dual life. Also, this category is where Tony Stark's cockiness finally helps him. To lead a superhero team, you've got to have a little bit of swagger. Tony's outsized ego might make things difficult on his teammates, but there's nothing the public loves more than Iron Man.
VERDICT: Iron Man (3), Thor (2), Captain America (1)
Sometimes, the thing that makes a good leader isn't easily defined or measured. Each one of these characters brings something unique to the table, but whose intangible element makes them the best choice to lead The Avengers?
Thor's intangible quality is two-fold. One, Thor is royalty. That might not seem like a big deal, but it's impossible to qualify the kind of impact that being raised in Asgard under the tutelage of Odin would have on a warrior. Two, Thor is a God. Presumably, having God-like power can manifest itself in a number of useful ways (though perhaps none which would necessarily make him a better leader). Despite his impressive intangibles, however, Thor comes it at the bottom of this category.
Tony Stark's intangible quality is that he's a certified genius. Whether he's reprogramming his Iron Man suit on the fly, hacking into an enemy's network, or devising new and better weapons, as one of the world's greatest inventors and engineers, Tony is able to impact battles in a number of ways. While you can probably measure Tony Stark's IQ, you can't measure the kind of impact his technical brilliance might have on the battlefield, which is why Tony gets runner-up in this category.
Last, but certainly not least, you have Captain America. Though I'm certain I'll get some negative feedback for this, I think Steve Rogers has a much greater intangible asset than Thor and Iron Man. Put simply, he's just a kid from Brooklyn. Thor is, for all intents and purposes, an alien to our world. Likewise, Tony Stark, with his brilliant mind and billions of dollars, is completely disconnected from the everyday world. Captain America on the other hand understands what's at risk when the world is under attack, because when it comes down to it, he's just a regular guy. While that might not sound impressive, it's hugely important to his character and something that greatly enhances his leadership potential.
VERDICT: Captain America (3), Iron Man (2), Thor (1)
Final Tally and Final Thoughts
After adding up the scores, Captain America comes out on top with 11 points, while Thor follows close behind with 10 points, and Iron Man, who kicked off The Avengers hoopla in the first place, comes in last with 9 points.
While this article clearly contains personal opinion, it's interesting how our scores seem to confirm Marvel's most likely creative decisions for The Avengers. From a movie perspective, it makes the most sense to have Captain America as the leader of the team. Of all the characters in The Avengers, Captain America is the one that audiences can identify with the best and is also the easiest character to build a narrative around.
Thor could also be a viable protagonist, especially since Loki is the primary villain in the film, but his otherworldliness makes him a better supporting character than a lead. Likewise, Iron Man is a fine character to carry his own movies, but in The Avengers, his personality would be better utilized as a comic relief type character. Presumably, that's why Iron Man is asked by Nick Fury to be "The Consultant" to the team rather than a full-fledged member.
What do you think of our scores, and how would you change them? If you had your choice, who would you like to see lead The Avengers?

Across all markets, pure trading commissions are racing to zero. Facing shrinking commission revenues and being buffeted by the cyclicality characteristic of the flow-based business, investment banks must evolve their business models to remain relevant and transcend the "race to zero."
Trading commissions have been declining across different geographies for a number of years. Equity trading commissions in the United States now average around 2.64 cents per share (cps) for all-in rates and as low as 0.97 cps for algorithmic trades, net of tack-ons for research.1 In emerging markets, such as China, online trading commissions have dipped as low as two basis points (bps).
On average, 41% of Gen D investors are looking for simulations and/or gamification tools from their banks
Deregulation heralded the end of fixed brokerage commission rates and ushered in a new regime of negotiated rates. In the United States, deregulation opened up equities trading across many different trading venues, increasing competition and downward pressure on costs.
Low-cost passive fund managers have gained market share held by traditional active asset managers and increased pricing pressure on brokerages by favoring lower-cost execution options that align with their low-cost business models.
Electronic trading has shifted trading from people to computers. Together with widespread use of the Internet, it has also given rise to low-touch, low-commission discount brokerage models. Research suggests that between 63 percent and 73 percent of all trades across instrument types are now conducted electronically.2
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II), which is scheduled to come into effect in Europe in January 2017, proposes to unbundle research from trading commissions to protect investors from overspending on research. Once implemented, this directive would further reduce trading commissions and could drive sell-side revenue down by as much as one-third.
* Includes tack-on rates for research and capital

This trend of shrinking trading commissions extends beyond equities. Fixed income trading is experiencing similar electronification and technology-led disruption, which is expected to enhance transparency in bond pricing, enhance liquidity, boost efficiency and lower transaction costs. Coupled with regulatory requirements that make it less attractive for banks to carry the risk of trades on their balance sheets, these structural changes are eroding revenue and returns in a traditionally lucrative market.
Together, these market developments have helped lower barriers to entry, level the playing field and enhance transparency. The result has been increased competition, the commoditization of trading services and a relentless march toward zero commission.
Facing shrinking commissions and an increasingly challenging operating environment across the globe, investment banks are trimming their trading activities or leaving the trading business altogether.
While investment banks should continue to optimize their trade execution capabilities and reevaluate their involvement in the brokerage business, innovating on the current business model presents a viable way to remain relevant and rise above the race to zero.
In parallel with these changes in the brokerage environment, a broader shift has been taking place in the behaviors and preferences of retail customers. As the digital revolution sweeps across all aspects of daily life, customers have come to expect "anytime, anywhere" convenience and personalization from the businesses they interact with. An Accenture study on the digital generation (Gen D) dispelled the myth that this generation is mainly made up of young people, pointing to investors of all ages who are demanding more from both traditional and digital options, with the propensity to switch for better experience.3 Gen D cuts across age groups and varies by geography.
They value digital tools as a way to augment traditional investing and view such tools as complements to rather than substitutes for human advisors. Many members of this group—particularly those who identify as millennials or Gen X—are willing to switch providers to gain access to a digital tool, service, channel or application that their current institution is unable to provide. They look to these digital tools to reduce transaction costs and fees, improve access to their advisors and help them make more informed investment decisions. This shift in customer behaviors and preferences, along with digital-driven advancements in technology, creates unique opportunities for innovation.

Investment banks and brokerages can redefine their value propositions while still leveraging their existing trade execution capabilities. In the United States, and later in Europe, traditional retail brokerage has evolved from a stock-picking, trading-focused business model into one that is oriented around gathering assets under management (AUM) and providing investment advice.
More importantly, what's different now are the possibilities afforded by the digital era. The ubiquity of the Internet and advancements in digital technology make it possible to transform business models at lower cost to reach a much wider audience at a much faster pace than ever before. Specifically, investment banks and brokerages could use digital technology to:
Appeal to Gen D's buyer values of convenience, anytime and anywhere. This could be done by fulfilling their investing needs—including trading, investing in funds or other asset classes, or investment advisory/management services—in one place digitally.
Drive automation. Robo-advisory has gained considerable attention in recent years for providing investment management services at a fraction of the cost of traditional models. Robo-advisors, such as Wealthfront and Betterment, provide investment management services by using algorithms to make trades and invest on behalf of customers based on their risk appetite, financial goals and investing styles.
Another example of investment automation is trade mimicking, which is modeled on the concept of social investing. Here, customers choose to "follow" portfolio managers whose style matches their own. The investing platform automatically syncs the customer's portfolio to reflect each trade made by their chosen portfolio managers. By automating a previously human-based service and reducing cost-to-serve, this technology allows businesses to tap into a much wider pool of retail customers for investment management services that were once mainly accessible only to the wealthy. Investment banks and brokerages should consider developing, acquiring or partnering with providers of automated investing technology, as established firms such as Blackrock and Vanguard have done recently.4
Provide options for Gen D investors to interact on their own terms. This means providing the right combination of digital tools and channels to enable self-directed investors, or access to a human financial advisor or broker for investors who prefer a higher-touch model. Video chat, web chat and e-mail are channels that can be used to deploy high-touch models at lower cost than traditional models. There are examples of online trading platforms that provide a rich suite of tools and research content for self-directed customers. Other firms provide a hybrid model that combines digital services with access to human advisors. Investment banks and brokerages can also consider a "platform" approach to provide investment choices to customers.
Increase customer stickiness. Digital technology creates an opportunity for investment banks and brokerages to rethink how to encourage customer loyalty. Innovative propositions like Acorns help create an emotional connection between customers and their service providers. Acorns' investment app provides a "set-it-up-and-forget-it" system that helps customers invest their spare change from linked credit and debit card purchases.5 When a customer makes a purchase using a card, the spare change from rounding up to the nearest dollar is invested in six different funds based on the customer's risk tolerance. This model helps customers grow their investment portfolios automatically and achieve their financial goals without conscious intervention or effort.
As commissions race to zero, investment banks and brokerages should focus on becoming excellent at what is considered "table stakes" in the trading business—trade execution efficiency. Beyond streamlining costs, investment banks and brokerages should also look to evolve their current business models as a means of realizing new sources of value and profitability. The digital era has not only led to a sea-change in customer expectations, but also brought about technology advancements that innovative banks and brokerages can leverage to redefine their business models at lower cost, faster pace and with a wider reach than was previously possible. Rather than view digital innovations as threats, banks and brokerages should seek to harness these innovations to their advantage to appeal to Gen D buyer values, provide options for customers to interact on their own terms, drive automation and encourage customer stickiness.
While the brevity of this paper would not be sufficient to cover a topic of this scope entirely, it is intended to highlight some considerations for rethinking how investment banks and brokerages can confront the challenges faced in the trading business and, in particular, harness the power of digital to help them evolve with pace and agility.

The Dirty Secret of Pricing Luxury Goods in China
Makers of luxury goods have found a way to add to their profits: Charge Chinese consumers more than their counterparts in the U.S. and Europe. The WSJ's Wei Gu tells Deborah Kan why luxury cars and fashion brands are more expensive in China.

Jalapeno Beer Cheese Soup for #SundaySupper
February 24, 2013
As a self-proclaimed foodie and ingredient junkie, I often get the questions, "What is your favorite item to cook?" or "What dish are you known for?" I always find this a difficult question to answer because I don't have one favorite thing I like to make. What I made every week one month (like my paella obsession) isn't necessarily what I'm making every weekend now…more and more roasted vegetables.
But something I always circle back to is soup. I love it. I pretty much have it with every meal. We always have a soup prepared in our fridge to have with lunch at home on the weekends or to take in the office during the week. I enjoy cold soups in the hot Georgia summers; like Avocado or Gazpacho; or good old traditional standbys like Cream of Broccoli or French Onion.
When I think of cold, rainy, winter nights, which we have had our share of lately, I think of a spicy Beer Cheese Soup. It's warm, comforting, laced with jalapenos and a delicious afternoon snack on rainy afternoons. Especially when you use a hot pretzel for dipping. Yum!
Jalapeno Beer Cheese Soup
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 TBS all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (12-ounce) beer of choice, I used a Bud Light
- 1 bay leaf
- 10 ounces low-fat, extra-sharp cheddar, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, I use Neuchâtel
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 TBS diced jalapenos + one fresh jalapeno, sliced
- 3 splashes Worcestershire sauce
- Frozen pretzels (bake according to instructions)
- 1 TBS, Himalayan Pink Salt
Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery and garlic. Saute until soft. Add chicken broth, beer and bay leaf. Heat until it comes to a boil. Slowly add cheese while stirring until just boiling and smooth. Add salt, pepper, mustard, jalapenos and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat to low and cook until soup has thickened.
Garnish with sliced jalapeno and serve with a hot baked pretzel.
