I do live captures for video assist with PP5.5 and asked for the ability for markers to be added on the fly while capturing a while back. Just wondering if this has been added to PP6 or not. Use it all the time with Avid MC, and find it difficult to use PP without it in my work. If not can you make subclips on the fly as you can in MC yet?
No, there is not a change in Premiere Pro CS6 regarding adding markers during capture from tape.
Am I right in thinking that OnLocation has not made it into the CS6 suite?
I currently capture live TX camera feeds from a PPU and mark them on the fly with comments so that I can review content before the edit.
Can anyone tell me whether this facility will still be available in CS6 - whether in OnLocation or another facility?
Is there a reason this has not been added yet? It would make PP closer to the feature set of Avid MC and also make it a lot more useable in my situation, not that I'm being selfish or anything.....But really, it would seem to be a useful feature for many people out there that play through a tape, or do live caps and want to put some kind of reference marker in on the fly.
OnLocation is not in Creative Suite 6.
If you use the features in OnLocation, then you should continue to keep the version that you now use installed. There's no problem at all with keeping components of CS5.5 or CS5 or CS4 installed on a system even after you've upgraded to CS6 for Premiere Pro, etc.
> Is there a reason this has not been added yet?
If you want us to add a feature, then submit a feature request to add your vote.
You can submit feature requests (and bug reports) here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
Asked for this way back in 5.0 Guess there aren't enough people that do live caps to get anyones attention. Great feature in Avid MC, and one that limits PP's functionality for me. I would think that anyone that captures live, or from tape would benefit from the ability to place markers in the capture at points of interest. For me, I use them to show when another pass is made during a long take so I can get to that part of the take quickly.
The markers in Premiere Pro leave a lot to be desired. I totally agree about marking on capture but what's even more important to me is being able to see your markers supered on screen. I usually plow through my footage and set markers for takes I like or client likes and add in my comments. I can fine stuff super quick just using previous and next marker hot keys and find this indespensable to my workflow. I've whined about this repeatedly to adobe and I'm extremely dissappointed its still not a feature especially when every NLE I've ever used has had it. Even the the earliest versions of avid, fcp and smoke. What gives adobe?
What's new with markers in CS6:

@ Todd
You say OnLocation is not in Creative Suite 6 but will it be a stand alone program or is CS5.5 the last version of it ?
Thanks: GLenn
OnLocation is no longer developed or sold by Adobe.
Thanks Todd.
I will just keep my 5.5 handy if I need it.
Prelude looks nice.
I am in complete agreement with TKane31. I have been requesting on the fly markers since CS4, and noone seems to listen. Would EVERYONE that sees the value of this please speak up and request on the fly markers? There can't be only two of us. Also it doesn't do any good to say they are in On Location 5.5, especially if it is discontinued. If you could do it there, why not in PP? I need to capture, with markers, and play back at off-speed some times and you can't do that in On Location. Besides, if you then have to edit you have to open PP and edit from there, not an efficient solution. Why is Adobe so resistant to this?
> Why is Adobe so resistant to this?
It's not that we're resistant to one thing or another. Rather, we have finite time and other resources for developing and testing features for each release, and we need to prioritize based on several factors---including how many customers are requesting a specific change.
So, if you want to cast your vote, please do so:
There can't be only two of us.
Wellll...with the proliferation of tapeless media, the need to 'capture' is growing less and less. That's probably why OnLocation was dropped in favor of Prelude. And it doesn't bode well for adding more folks who want this feature.
I did, several times over several versions but there is no change.

Yeah, the next step is no live capture at all. They dropped stop motion capture long ago, another great feature. Some people actually still shoot film if you can believe that!
Sent from my Verizon Wireless Droid
You could consider Premiere Elements for Stop Motion.
Some people actually still shoot film if you can believe that!
I do, and would love to shoot that myself.
But even there, it'll be telecined using very expensive equipment that no Premiere Pro user is likely to own, and stored on a hard drive as files that still would not need to be 'captured'.
That was just me being sarcastic. I do video assist, so all my work involves
live capture.

Gators savor experience
Published: Sunday, March 31, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 11:00 p.m.
ARLINGTON, Texas — The sports information director working at the NCAA Tournament started to give Erik Murphy instructions on how to handle the break-out room, the area set aside in the bowels of Cowboys Stadium for extensive interviews when teams reach the Elite Eight.
Sunday's game
Who: No. 3 seed Florida Gators (29-7) vs. No. 4 seed Michigan Wolverines (29-7)
When: 2:20 p.m.
Where: Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas
Gainesville-area TV: CBS
Gainesville-area radio: 103.7 FM
Murphy waved him off.
He knew exactly what to do, how to handle this situation.
This is hardly the first rodeo for these cowboys.
Florida is playing in its third straight Elite Eight and is the only school that has played in the past three. This is old hat, especially for the seniors.
"It's been an unbelievable experience," Murphy said. "I've played with a lot of different players. Guys have come and gone. But to be here three straight years, that's a testament to coach (Billy) Donovan."
Remember Murphy and Kenny Boynton came to Florida when the Gators were coming off back-to-back NIT appearances. Those had followed nine straight NCAA appearances and two straight national championships.
Florida has won nine of 13 games in the Big Dance with these seniors. The juniors are 9-3.
For these seniors — Murphy, Boynton and Mike Rosario — there is that knowledge that every time they've taken the court in this NCAA Tournament, it could be for the last time as a Gator.
"It's different," Boynton said. "When you're a junior or a sophomore or a freshman, you know you'll get a shot next year. But right now, you know if you lose it's over.
"You want it for everyone."
You think of all the players who came through Florida without a chance to play when the spotlight is the brightest. Neal Walk never did. Nick Calathes didn't. Lee Humphrey and Chris Richard played in the most of any Gators with 15, one more than the famous Oh-Fours who were the backbone of the national titleists.
"I'm definitely fortunate to have played in so many of these games," Boynton said. "Your goal at the start of every year is to make the NCAA Tournament. Some players don't make it. I've played with some great players on some great teams."
Florida has one more game to play in this Texas swing. The Gators face Michigan with a berth at the Final Four in Atlanta on the line.
If the Gators win, it would be Donovan's fourth as a coach. He built the program back up after the blips that were the NIT years.
He said he doesn't talk about how fortunate his players are to be on this big stage as much as he talks about how blessed they are to have God-given skills.
"How do they go about utilizing that talent and not wasting days and opportunities and to be thankful and appreciative that they get the opportunity to practice, to prepare and they get the opportunity to play," Donovan said. "So many players out there that aren't playing right now or they're not afforded the opportunity or they're injured. Be thankful and to utilize what you've been blessed with. Just be the best you can be."
Florida is the only team in America to play in three straight Elite Eight rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Here's how the Gators who have been around for all three have fared in the Big Dance:
Player Games Pts. Rebs Ast.
^Kenny Boynton 12 162 32 32
^Erik Murphy 12 96 51 5
Patric Young 11 80 53 9
Scottie Wilbekin 11 51 19 23
Casey Prather 8 42 25 6
Mike Rosario 7 66 13 5
*Will Yeguete 6 16 22 3
Totals 67 413 215 83
High scoring game — Boynton, 27 points vs. BYU in 2010.
High rebounding game — Murphy, 10 vs. Marquette in 2012.
High assisting game — Wilbekin, 6 vs. Minnesota 2013 and Boynton, 6 vs. Louisville in 2012.
^—includes single NCAA game in 2010.
*—missed all of 2012 postseason with injury.

Debian Update Introduces Security, Bans Adobe Flash
The update Debian 4.0 alias Etch to 4.03r sees the free project mainly add security patches and remove the Adobe Flash plugin from the official repository.
If you use Debian 4.0, you can launch Aptitude to download the required packages from ftp.debian.org or a mirror server. Users who load Debian updates on a regular basis will not need to modify too many packages according to the developers. Images containing the new status will be available shortly. A Debian Installer update forces users who work with netboot or floppy images to download newer versions.
Some 50 security fixes make the update interesting for anyone wanting to avoid implementing individual fixes. A list of the patches packages and the related advisories is available in the Release Notes. The vulnerabilities fixed by the update range from DoS attacks to code execution and privilege escalation to SQL injection.
One major change cited by the Debian project is the removal of "Flashplugin-nonfree", which will be moved to the Backports repository. Security concerns led to this move. There is no security support for the closed source program.
Users are advise to remove the Adobe program and any residues it leaves behind for esc reasons. The Changelog lists the modified packages.

Chemotherapy for osteosarcoma
Next Topic
Clinical trials for osteosarcoma
Radiation therapy for osteosarcoma
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays or particles to kill cancer cells. Osteosarcoma cells are not easily killed by radiation, so radiation therapy does not play a major role in treating this disease.
External beam radiation therapy
This is the type of radiation therapy most often used to treat osteosarcoma.
Before treatments start, the radiation team takes careful measurements with imaging tests such as MRI scans to determine the correct angles for aiming the radiation beams and the proper dose of radiation.
External radiation therapy is much like getting an x-ray, although the dose of radiation is much higher. For each session, you (or your child) will lie on a special table while a machine delivers the radiation from a precise angle. The treatment is not painful.
Each actual treatment lasts only a few minutes, although the setup time – getting you (or your child) into place for treatment – usually takes longer. Young children may be given medicine to make them fall asleep so they will not move during the treatment. Most often, radiation treatments are given 5 days a week for several weeks.
Newer radiation techniques, such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and conformal proton beam therapy, may allow doctors to aim treatment at the tumor more precisely while reducing how much radiation nearby healthy tissues get. This may offer a better chance of increasing the success rate and reducing side effects. Many doctors now recommend using these approaches when they are available (see "What's new in osteosarcoma research and treatment?").
Radiation therapy may be useful in some cases where the tumor cannot be completely removed by surgery. For example, osteosarcoma can start in hip bones or in the bones of the face, particularly the jaw. In these situations, it is often not possible to completely remove the cancer. As much as possible is removed, and then radiation is given to try to kill the remaining cancer. Chemotherapy may be used after radiation.
Radiation can also help control symptoms like pain and swelling if the cancer has come back or surgery is not possible.
The possible side effects of external radiation therapy depend on the dose of radiation and where it is aimed. Short-term problems can include effects on skin areas that receive radiation, which can range from mild sunburn-like changes and hair loss to more severe skin reactions. Radiation to the abdomen or pelvis can cause nausea, diarrhea, and urinary problems. Talk with your (child's) doctor about the possible side effects because there may be ways to relieve some of them.
In children, radiation therapy can interfere with the growth of normal body tissues, including the bones. For example, radiation to the bones in one leg might result in it being much shorter than the other. Radiotherapy of facial bones may cause uneven growth, which might affect how a child looks. But if a child is fully or almost fully grown, this is less likely to be an issue.
Depending on where the radiation is aimed, it can also damage other organs. Radiation to the chest wall or lungs may affect lung and heart function. Radiation to the pelvis may damage the bladder or intestines. It can also damage reproductive organs, which could affect a child's fertility later in life, so doctors do their best to protect these organs by shielding them from the radiation or moving them out of the way whenever possible.
Another major concern with radiation therapy is that it may cause a new cancer to form in the part of the body that was treated with the radiation. The higher the dose of radiation, the more likely this is to occur, but the overall risk is small and should not keep children who need radiation from getting treatment.
To lower the risk of serious long-term effects from radiation, doctors try to use the lowest dose of radiation therapy that is still effective. Still, it's important to continue follow-up visits with your (child's) doctor so that if problems come up they can be found and treated as early as possible.
Radioactive drugs (radiopharmaceuticals)
Bone-seeking radioactive drugs, such as samarium-153, are also sometimes used to treat symptoms such as pain in people with advanced osteosarcoma. These drugs are injected into a vein and collect in bones. Once there, the radiation they give off kills the cancer cells and relieves some of the pain caused by bone metastases.
These drugs are especially helpful when cancer has spread to many bones, since external beam radiation would need to be aimed at each affected bone. In some cases, these drugs are used together with external beam radiation aimed at the most painful bone metastases.
The major side effect of these drugs is a lowering of blood cell counts, which could increase the risk for infections or bleeding, especially if the blood counts are already low.
For more detailed information on radiation therapy, see Understanding Radiation Therapy: A Guide for Patients and Families.

Additional Ways to Shop: Fishing 101
Bass Pro Shops Fishing
Base Camp
Additional Ways to Shop: Ascend
Is too much choice a bad thing? When it comes to fishing line, I answer with a resounding "no." The array of line types and their unique characteristics empowers anglers with plenty of options for customizing tactics and rigging to deliver the best presentation. Superline, fluorocarbon, nylon and trolling lines all have a time and place on the water. This guide will help you select the right line for your fishing needs.
The minimal line-stretch of superline gives anglers an incredible feel, equating to increased sensitivity and the ability to detect hits.
Superline is a term used to describe braided and fused lines. The process for making these lines is as their names suggest. Braid is created by weaving several strands of Dyneema or Spectra fibers together. Treated fibers that are fused together are the second category of superlines. Both processes result in a single strand of tough, thin-diameter line with excellent strength, minimal stretch and subtleness for casting. The latest generation of superlines tout coatings and specialized fibers or strands that improve casting distance compared to earlier generations of these lines.
The minimal line-stretch of superline gives anglers an incredible feel, equating to increased sensitivity and the ability to detect hits. No-stretch line also means solid hook-setting power and maximum force transfer when playing a fish.
For the most part, superlines also offer excellent knot strength, but make sure you follow the knots recommended on the line packaging as it can slip out of certain knots. Minimal spool memory is another great feature of superlines.
Superlines are available in a few colors with green, white, yellow and fluorescent green being the most common. Some prime superline examples include:
Superlines excel in heavy cover situations. If you're tossing a topwater frog in lily pads or slop with a baitcaster, superline is an excellent choice. Superlines also shine when fishing around wood cover.
No-stretch means sensitivity, so when I'm vertical jigging light-biting panfish like crappie or bluegills in deeper water, superline gets the nod as the mainline, with a 4- to 6-pound test fluorocarbon leader added for stealth.
Superlines are also a good choice for working baits that require twitching, such as jerkbaits. Whether a soft-plastic jerk shad for largemouth bass or a big, wooden stickbait for muskies and pike. In fact, the no-stretch feature of superline helps you get solid hooks sets into toothy fish with bony mouths.
You might encounter trouble when trolling with braid if you don't compensate your rod and reel set up appropriately. As braid doesn't stretch, trolling with too stiff of a rod or too tight a drag may pull a bait away from a fish's mouth in some instances. To compensate, keep the drag setting loose. It's also a good idea to use a rod with a light action tip that bends easily. This forgivingness will ensure fish get the bait when they hit it and the hooks stick. Hand-holding a rod when trolling with braid will sever a similar cushioning function at the the strike.
Fluorocarbon is a lot tougher than monofilament, has minimal spool memory, and has great abrasion resistance.
Fluorocarbon is extremely popular. The benefit to fluorocarbon is that its refractive index is similar to water. This makes it almost invisible underwater, a significant benefit in clear water and fussy fish. Fluorocarbon is stiffer than nylon-based lines, so it transmits vibrations well. It's also extremely abrasion resistant, making it a worthy choice for certain cover and structure fishing scenarios.
Minimal line stretch is another impressive fluorocarbon feature. Still not on par with most superlines, fluorocarbon beats nylon line when it comes to the "stretch factor."
Yet there are other popular features for fluorocarbon. The line has a quick sink rate; it is also has minimal spool memory. This line will resist UV rays, too. This means it won't breakdown as quickly as nylon-based line, letting you store it for longer periods.
Fluorocarbon line is available in a variety of colors from clear, high-visibility fluorescents, green, blue and grey. Some examples include:
The minimal stretch quality and its low visibility makes fluorocarbon a favorite among bass anglers for a variety of techniques from finesse shakey head presentations to clear-water flipping and pitching. The fast sink rate teamed with excellent sensitivity is beneficial too for finesse presentations, such as Senkos or soft-plastic jerkbaits.
Fluorocarbon can also be used for trolling. Many anglers prefer fluorocarbon as it rests in between the no-stretch features of braid and the significant stretch of nylon lines. Fluorocarbon provides good sensitivity to hits, but will also offer some give when a fish hits to make sure the hooks stick. It's thicker diameter also makes it a more user-friendly option than superline for snap-weights and inline planer boards.
Monofilament is a very forgiving line. It's easy to learn to tie knots with and casts well.
Lines made of nylon have been in the angling industry for decades. You'll see the terms "monofilament" and "copolymer" used to described nylon-based fishing line. The advantages of these lines are that they're inexpensive, handle well, and can be used for a variety of fishing applications, covering the gamut for all sport fish.
Nylon lines remain a mainstay for many anglers. Individuals who have been using the line for years are simply in tune with its strengths and weaknesses and know how to fish it properly.
Nylon does have some drawbacks. The line will stretch under strain more than braid or fluorocarbon. This stretch means the line will dampen or absorb light hits, and you might not always feel them. But, this same feature is a benefit in some scenarios, such as fishing a topwater or a crankbait. In these instances the sponginess of nylon can help a fish get a full mouthful on the strike and boost your chances for a hook set that sticks.
A great feature of this type of line is it's easy to cut. This might not seem significant but forget your scissors or a knife when fishing with a superline and retying can get tricky. Unfortunately, the downside to this trait is that monofilament is more abrasion prone than superline or fluorocarbon, so you will need to be diligent to look for line wear and retie often when fishing around rocks, wood, zebra muscles and other hazards.
A fresh spool of nylon line casts extremely well. Although, it has a tendency for spool memory over time. Refilling spools should be a regular occurrence. A good way to extend its lifespan is using line conditioner, such as ReelMagic. It's also good practice to apply this product to fluorocarbon as well.
Monofilament makers are still giving the other two line types a run for their money. Coatings and other adjustments to the manufacturing process are creating new lines that are more abrasion resistant, sensitive, thin and inexpensive.
These lines come in an array of colors, which is where it has an advantage over braid. There seems to be an endless array of colors available in mono. Some examples of monofilament include:
This style of line is perfect for anglers starting out. That's not to say superlines or fluorocarbon won't do, but these two types of lines require a certain amount of fishing line know-how.
Lead-core line is weighted and allows you to present baits at specific depths.
Nylon line is forgiving. It's easy to learn to tie knots with and casts well. It also has some give to it that will dampen over-exuberant beginner hook sets. Generally, it's also the most affordable option of all lines available.
Trolling line is the last category of fishing line worth noting and is specifically designed for this presentation style. Trolling line features colored sections that help you gauge the amount of line you've let out (color changes every 10 yards). This way, you always know exactly how much line you have in the water at any given time.
Trolling line may also feature a lead core center to sink baits to a specific depth in the water column. The uniformity of the weight also gives a smooth presentation with baits. It also tracks the movements of the boat extremely well.
Use large capacity reels with a line counter when using trolling lines for a precise presentation. Bass Pro Shops Magibraid Lead Core Trolling Line and Sufix Performance Lead Core Fishing Line are examples of trolling lines.
If you're serious about angling, invest the time to learn the virtues of the different lines available. Each has pros and cons, but not one is perfect for all fishing conditions. Instead, match a line trait's to the most appropriate technique. Do this and you'll find a lot more fish at the end of your string this season.

He is a prolific author and researcher, having written two books and published more than 100 articles in academic journals. Fama is among the most cited of America's researchers. He focuses much of his study on the relation between risk and return and implications for portfolio management.
Fama has received numerous awards and honors. He was the 2007 recipient of the Fred Arditti Innovation Award given by the CME Center for Innovation. In announcing the year's award, Myron S. Scholes, Nobel Prize-winning economist and chairman of CME's Competitive Markets Advisory Council said, "Eugene Fama has had pathbreaking insights into the functioning of markets, asset pricing theory, and corporate finance that have benefited market participants worldwide. He has written extensively on the efficiency of markets, setting the backdrop for the transfer of risks through futures contracts such as those traded on the CME. His innovative research has resulted in his participation in the development of many new finance products and in the development of new futures contracts for hedging risks."
Fama was the first recipient of three major prizes for research in Finance; the Deutsche Bank Prize in Financial Economics, 2005, the Morgan Stanley American Finance Association Award for Excellence in Finance, 2007, and the Onassis Prize in Finance, 2009.
Other awards he has received include the 1982 Chaire Francqui (Belgian National Science Prize), and the 2006 Nicholas Molodovsky Award from the CFA Institute recognizing his work in portfolio theory and asset pricing.
Fama's paper "The Cross-Section of Expected Stock Returns" with Kenneth R. French was the winner of the 1992 Smith Breeden Prize for the best paper in the Journal of Finance. His paper "Market Efficiency Long-Term Returns and Behavioral Finance" won the 1998 Fama-DFA Prize for the best paper published in the Journal of Financial Economics in the areas of capital markets and asset pricing.
He was the first elected fellow of the American Finance Association in 2001 and is also a fellow of the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Fama is an advisory editor of the Journal of Financial Economics.
Fama is also chairman of the Center for Research in Security Prices at Chicago Booth, which was founded 40 years ago to create the finest tools for tracking, measuring, and analyzing securities data. He is Director and Consultant to Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. an investment advising firm with more than $251 billion under management.
He earned a bachelor's degree from Tufts University in 1960, followed by an MBA and PhD from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in 1964.

REVISION: A Five-Factor Asset Pricing Model
Date Posted:
Apr 10,
A five-factor model directed at capturing the size, value, profitability, and investment patterns in average stock returns is rejected on the GRS test, but for applied purposes it provides an acceptable description of average returns. The model's main problem is its failure to explain the low average returns on small stocks that invest a lot despite low profitability. The performance of the model is not sensitive to the specifics of the way its factors are defined, at least for the definitions considered here.

The lending channel model posits that control of deposits that have reserve requirements allows the Fed to constrain the financing of the illiquid loans to businesses and consumers that are the comparative advantage of banks and their link to real activity. The constraint works because banks do not use traded liquid assets and liabilities with no reserve requirements to offset the effects of variation in deposits on loans. The results presented here are more consistent with a simple alternativ

To what extent does TF, the target Federal funds rate set by the Fed, influence other rates? There is lots of variation in rates unrelated to TF, and any effects of TF on rates dissipate quickly for longer maturities. For short rates, all the tests have interpretations in terms of: (i) a Fed that has the power to control rates and uses it, and (ii) a Fed that has little power over rates or chooses not to exercise its power. In the end, there is no conclusive evidence (here or elsewhere) on th

There is an impressive body of empirical evidence which indicates that successive price changes in individual common stocks are very nearly independent. Recent papers by Mandelbrot and Samuelson show rigorously that independence of successive price changes is consistent with an efficient market, i.e., a market that adjusts rapidly to new information.
It is important to note, however, that in the empirical work to date the usual procedure has been to infer market efficiency from the observed

The aggregate portfolio of U.S. equity mutual funds is close to the market portfolio, but the high costs of active management show up intact as lower returns to investors. Bootstrap simulations suggest that few funds produce benchmark adjusted expected returns sufficient to cover their costs. If we add back the costs in expense ratios, there is evidence of inferior and superior performance (non-zero true alpha) in the extreme tails of the cross section of mutual fund alpha estimates.

However, the decisions of proprietorships, partnerships, and closed corporations cannot in general be modeled by the market val
Disagreement, Tastes, and Asset Prices

Standard asset pricing models assume that (i) there is complete agreement among investors about probability distributions of future payoffs on assets, and (ii) investors choose asset holdings based solely on anticipated payoffs; that is, investment assets are not also consumption goods. Both assumptions are unrealistic. We provide a simple framework for studying how disagreement and tastes for assets as consumption goods can affect asset prices.

We extend the evidence of Fama and French (1995) on the post-1962 profitability and equity financing of firms in different style groups (small versus big, value versus growth) to 1926-2006. The emphasis is on whether equity-financed investment varies with cashflows and price-to-book ratios in ways that support or violate the pecking order model of Myers (1984) or the Q theory of investment. The long-term perspective from the results for 1926-2006 provides insights into inferences about the pec

Average returns on value and growth portfolios are broken into dividends and three sources of capital gain: (1) growth in book equity, primarily from earnings retention, (2) convergence in price-to-book ratios (P/Bs) from mean reversion in profitability and expected returns, and (3) upward drift in P/B during 1927-2006. The capital gains of value stocks trace mostly to convergence: P/B rises as some value companies become more profitable and their stocks move to lower-expected-return groups. Gro

The book-to-market ratio, B/M, is a noisy measure of expected stock returns because B/M also varies with expected cashflows. Our hypothesis is that the evolution of B/M, in terms of past changes in book equity and price, contains independent information about expected cashflows that can be used to improve estimates of expected returns. The tests support this hypothesis, with results that are largely but not entirely similar for Microcap stocks (below the 20th NYSE market capitalization percent

Migration of stocks across size and value portfolios contributes to the size and value premiums in average stock returns. The size premium is almost entirely generated by the small-capitalization stocks that earn extreme positive returns and thus become big-cap stocks.

The anomalous returns associated with net stock issues, accruals, and momentum are pervasive; they show up in all size groups (micro, small, and big) in cross-section regressions, and they are also strong in sorts, at least in the extremes. The asset growth and profitability anomalies are less robust. There is an asset growth anomaly in average returns on microcaps and small stocks, but it is absent for big stocks. Among profitable firms, higher profitability tends to be associated with abnor

Profitability, Growth, and Average Returns

Valuation theory says that expected stock returns are related to three variables: the book-to-market equity ratio (B/M), expected profitability, and expected investment. Given B/M and expected profitability, higher rates of investment imply lower expected returns. But controlling for the other two variables, more profitable firms have higher expected returns, as do firms with higher B/M. These predictions are confirmed in our tests. Our results are qualitatively similar to earlier evidence,

The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) of William Sharpe (1964) and John Lintner (1965) marks the birth of asset pricing theory (resulting in a Nobel Prize for Sharpe in 1990).

Four decades later, the CAPM is still widely used in applications, such as estimating the cost of equity capital for f
Financing Decisions: Who Issues Stock?

Financing decisions seem to violate the central predictions of the pecking order model about how often and under what circumstances firms issue equity. Specifically, most firms issue or retire equity each year, the issues are on average large, and they are not typically done by firms under duress. We estimate that during 1973-2002 the year-by-year equity decisions of more than half of our sample firms violate the pecking order. And contradictions are more common among larger firms.

Our evidence suggests that the high average return for 1951 to 2000 is due to a decline in discount rates that produces a large unexpected capital gain. Our main conclusion is that the average stock return of the last half-centu

The percent of firms paying cash dividends falls from 66.5 in 1978 to 20.8 in 1999. The decline is due in part to the changing characteristics of publicly traded firms. Fed by new lists, the population of publicly traded firms tilts increasingly toward small firms with low profitability and strong growth opportunities characteristics typical of firms that have never paid dividends. More interesting, we also show that controlling for characteristics, firms become less likely to pay dividends.

The value premium in U.S. stocks returns is robust. The positive relation between average return and book-to-market equity (BE/ME) is as strong for 1929-63 as for the subsequent period studied in previous papers. Like others, we also find a size premium in stock returns. Small stocks have higher average returns than big stocks. The size premium is, however, weaker and less reliable than the value premium. The relations between average return and firm characteristics (size and BE/ME) are better e

We infer that dividends and debt convey information about profitability (expected net cash flows) missed by a wide range of control variables. This infor

Previous work shows that average returns on common stocks are related to firm characteristics like size, earnings/price, cashflow/price, book-to-market equity, past sales growth, long-term past return, and short term past return. Because these patterns in average returns apparently are not explained by the CAPM, they are called anomalies. We find that, except for the continuation of short-term returns, the anomalies largely disappear in a three-factor model. Our results are consistent with ratio

Poudre Valley Health System announced today plans to build an emergency room and same-day surgery center in Greeley's North Gate Village, next to King Soopers Marketplace, on the southeast corner of 71st Avenue and 10th Street.
"Greeley has experienced tremendous growth in the past 10 years, especially on the west side," said Russ Branzell, Poudre Valley Medical Group chief executive officer. "Where there is growth, there is greater demand for convenient, high quality medical services. Poudre Valley Health System is pleased to offer such services, bringing choice and increased access to health care in Weld County. "
The emergency division of the new facility will be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by board-certified emergency room physicians from Emergency Physicians of the Rockies, an independent emergency provider group that has been serving northern Colorado for more than 30 years. Same-day surgery services will be offered for select general and elective surgeries in the areas of endoscopy, gastroenterology, orthopedics and urology. Other outpatient surgeries will be added as needs arise. In addition to outpatient surgeries, outpatient IV therapy services will be offered.
"We are excited about the benefits this facility will provide," said Dr. James Campain, who worked in Greeley for 18 years and is now with Emergency Physicians of the Rockies. "By expanding the emergency services available in Weld County, we expect to reduce the amount of time patients have to wait to receive emergency medical care."
The 22,000-square-foot facility with an estimated cost of $14.5 million is scheduled to open in fall 2012 and will be divided into two main areas. One section will house an emergency care center that will include 10 examination rooms, two pediatric exam rooms, a resuscitation room and laboratory. The diagnostic imaging area will include X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI. The building also will feature a covered ambulance bay for easy emergency access in and out of the facility.
The same-day surgery center, located on the west side of the building, will include three preparatory areas, two operating rooms, recovery areas and an observation room. "The space will allow local surgeons to serve the needs of their patients close to home," said Dr. Les Fraser, a longtime Greeley-based general surgeon with Poudre Valley Medical Group.
"We will build this facility using the most current and best practices in emergency and surgery building design, paying special attention to patient flow and privacy," said Dr. Campain.
WHAT: New emergency and surgery center.WHERE: East of King Soopers Marketplace on the southeast corner of 71st Ave. and 10th St. in Greeley.COST: $14.5 million.SIZE: 22,000 square feet.COMPLETION: Fall 2012.NEW JOBS: Approximately 70 (including part-time and full-time).
"Freestanding emergency departments can handle just about any emergency except severe trauma," said Dr. Campain. "Destination protocols are in place through the local emergency medical service / 9-1-1 system to ensure that ambulances or medical flight services get people to the most appropriate level of care in the quickest time possible."
"We believe the new facility will be an excellent addition to the Greeley community," said Dr. Dan Zenk, a Poudre Valley Medical Group internist based in Greeley. "Poudre Valley Health System remains committed to enhancing the level of care available to people in Greeley and throughout northern Colorado. Clearly, one of the best ways to achieve this goal is to improve access to high-quality life-saving medical service."
According to Branzell, the proposed project is contingent on the land contract closing date anticipated to occur in the next 60 days. He estimates the project will generate approximately 70 new jobs in the Greeley community. For more information about the emergency and same-day surgery center, go to pvhs.org/weld-county-healthcare.

Hi All,
Since the YouTube On-Demand Olympic Videos no longer appear to be working , I was wondering if anyone was able to record the Men's Tennis Finals, Mixed Doubles Finals as well as the Men's Platform Diving Finals. I've looked far and wide for working torrents and nothing seems to work properly unfortunately I'm looking for the events as well as the medal ceremonies and in the case of the men's diving, the celebration where Tom Daley jumps into the pool with his team afterwards.
If anyone recorded this and was willing to make me a copy can you send me a PM and we can work out the details?
Thank You!

Human Zoos: The Invention of the Savage
Paris's most talked-about exhibition of the winter opened on Tuesday with shock and soul-searching over the history of colonial subjects used in human zoos, circuses and stage shows, which flourished until as late as 1958. Human Zoos: The Invention of the Savage, curated by former French international footballer turned anti-racism campaigner Lilian Thuram, traces the history of a practice which started when Christopher Columbus displayed six "Indians" at the Spanish royal court in 1492 and went on to become a mass entertainment phenomenon in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Millions of spectators turned out to see "savages" in zoos, circuses, mock villages and freak shows from London to St Louis, Barcelona to Tokyo. These "human specimens", and "living museums" served both colonialist propaganda and scientific theories of so-called racial hierarchies. The exhibition at Paris's Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac's museum dedicated to once-colonised cultures – is the first to look at this international phenomenon as a whole. It brings together hundreds of bizarre and shocking artefacts, ranging from posters for "Male and Female Australian Cannibals" in London, which was the world capital of such stage shows, to documentation for mock villages of "Arabs" and "Sengalese", or juggling tribeswomen in France, which was renowned for its extensive human zoos. Thuram, who was born on the French Caribbean island Guadaloupe, said the exhibition explained the background of racist ideas and "fear of the 'other'" which persisted today. You have to have the courage to say that each of us has prejudices, and these prejudices have a history," Thuram explained. He said he was appalled that Hamburg zoo still had sculptures of Indians and Africans at its entrance, a sign that humans as well as animals were on display.

DeWine: Initial review shows immigrants should be able to apply for a driver's licence
The Columbus Dispatch - February 08, 2013 6:02 PM
More than 200 people seem to have made a compelling case to Attorney General DeWine today when they sent an open letter to his office calling for DeWine to have the Bureau of Motor Vehicles continue to grant driver's licenses to immigrants who can provide the appropriate documents.
Though it has faced criticism from state lawmakers and immigration attorneys, the BMV hasn't confirmed or denied that the agency has been denying driver's licenses to immigrants who should be entitled to apply.
DeWine said that, at least at first glance, it appears to him the BMV should accept driver's license applications for people who meet the qualifications for the federal government's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative – a program that essentially promises not to deport those who qualify for a two-year period.
Yesterday, Ohio House Democratic Leader Armond Budish said he had reason to believe the BMV had been denying driver's licenses to immigrants who should qualify under the federal initiative.
The BMV has previously made it a policy to accept applications and grant licensees to those who qualify for the federal initiative and have provided information the agency requests, but the agency is now being accused of stopping that practice as well as threatening to revoke some 200 licensees already granted.
"It would appear, at first glance, that these individuals under these categories are entitled to apply (for an Ohio driver's license or I.D. card)," DeWine said.
That initiative, which was implemented in June 2012 by President Barack Obama as a Homeland Security policy, doesn't seem to definitely shell out in any specific language an entitlement to a state driver's license. In fact, it doesn't grant citizenship or status as a permanent resident to those who qualify for deferred action.
But it does allow the assigning of a social security number and a work permit, and with those documents in hand, one could give the BMV the information it asks for when granting a driver's license.
It costs more than $400 to apply for the federal deferred action program.
BMV spokeswoman Lindsay Bohrer said yesterday that the agency has reason to believe some deputy registrars who are private contractors have been denying licensees and state identification cards, though should did not say if they were follow BMV directives.
She also said the BMV's legal department "is in the process of reviewing guidance from the federal government as it applies to Ohio law."
DeWine said his office has not been contacted by the BMV for legal advice.

Hello there everyone. Strange stuff goin' on in here.
I have both VIA Rhine II Ethernet (Integrated) and Realtek 8139 Ethernet (PCI) cards installed on my Hackintosh. They both work great (I use them both separately, not at the same time), but they both have some weird issue: When the network traffic is high (like, transfering a 1GB file through LAN, or just downloading something at 120 kbps), it just stops working and the only way I can get them to work is by restarting the computer.
I've tried:
Kext Unload / Load
Deactivating / Reactivating services (which generates a private IP like 168)
Changing to PCGenRTL8139Kext 1.20 (which verbose mode tells me that my old driver and this one´s the same)
Changed both cards
Activating / Deactivating LAN ROM
Setting up manually the IP address
Setting up DHCP
It's weird - I can´t believe it happens with two different cards with two different kexts. I've searched the forums, and in Google, and I can't find a solution.
My config:
Intel Core 2 Duo E400 (2.26Ghz)
80GB ATA Disk, 160GB SATA Disk
nVidia GeForce 8400 GS 256MB
VIA Rhine II Ethernet Adapter OR Realtek 8139 Ethernet Adapter
Mac OS X 10.5.8, 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel (happened with Vanilla and 9.7.0, too)
iATKOS Installation, clean, no dual boot

The Military watch: If your looking for a casual watch then a simple, rugged military watch is a safe bet as it is less subjugated to trend than other styles.
Known for durable simplicity and loved for their rich history, this category covers a diverse group of watch styles; divers, infantry, pilots, navigators and as of late wrist computers from Garmond and Sunto.
There has been recent interest in large military styled watches, particularly pilot and diver watches, as well as the simple WWII era infantry watches. These massive watch faces originally came out of necessity, divers in the murky depths needed to quickly asses their bottom time and pilots couldnt take there eys of the sky long neough to find a 20mm watch face. But if your not in either of these professions your going to be stuck with an oversized watch well after this trend fades. Other companies like to sugar coat quarts movement and ridiculous price tags with tactical buzz words. I would caution you away from any brand that throws around the word "special forces", "SEALs", "Military Issue", "Recon", "tactical".
The fact of it is no one in the military, especially those actually doing the fighting, ever wear this crap. If your already wearing 75 pounds worth of plates, mags, and batteries, on top of a 12-20 pound gun, and a 75-120 pound ruck the last thing you want is a rapper sized hunk of metal on your wrist, especially if it has a built in flashlight. the last thing you need is a massive shoot me strobe on your arm, the place its most likely to be accidentally set off. Additionally the obscene price tag on these kinds of watches is way out of reach for your average grunt, something marketing for these companies really should figure out. If you make 20k a year and trash everything you own your not dropping a grand on a watch. 99.99% of the military wears g-shocks, they get them for free, they don't shine, they track multiple time zones and you don't feel bad beating them up.
For higher tier communities some guys go for analog watches, Sunto's and other such wrist computers a passing trend as they did not prove to be very durable. Analog watches do have several advantages, namely they can be used for navigation, tracking events, signaling, and if it really hits the fan, currency. The few I saw were mostly Seiko divers, bought as graduation presents for dive school, a few officers dabbled in Hamilton Khakis, and one swore by his omega seamaster that had served him well on three deployments (and no amount of pleading would get they guy to get it serviced). The only issued analog watches were from marathon, though reliable the tritium inserts came loose about 70% of the time.
In my short term I went through a few watches. G-shocks were out as the alarm seemed like a sure way to set yourself up for disaster (they called them squad killers for a reason..), batteries cant be replaced in country, they never fit my wrist well and to a lesser extent the backlight accidentally going off was a concern. My two Luminox's did fine untill the pins failed (perfect example of branding over quality). Finally on my last deployment I picked up a MK II Seawarrior, as a sort of your-not-going-to-make-it-to-your-birthday present to myself. To me it came to embody the perfect military watch.
Modeled after the Bund it has a large easy to read face with no extraneous numbers or markings. Its movement was silky smooth (especially for the price) and a long enough power reserve that I didn't have to worry if I was stagnant for long periods of time. The uni directional bezel was important as well, clean and easy to read again, and useful for timing events, reminders, and keeping track of multiple time zones. The Saphiric crystal took abuse well, and the only downside was weight, which is reduced by using a nato band.
The surviving luminox I had is fine, durable and the secondly time zone has it uses, however its a quarts movement and the face is over crowded. Still not bad for the 100$ .
The best deal I have found, and the first watch I recommend to anyone, at any price point, is the county comms Maratac pilots watch. If it had a rotating bezel it would be the perfect watch for any military specialty. The display is simple and clear, the luminosity is visible at night but not screamingly bright. It has a self/hand winding automatic movement with a good power reserve and smoothness comparable to the MK II. Its saphiric crystal case is cut to be minimally reflective, and in true keeping with the men it was designed for, the case is completely sanitized. No big deal to you or me, but this really should be standard for anything issued. Three friends I have recommended it to have bought it, and if it weren't for my MK II I would have one as well. For everyone but the biggest guys I would recommend the medium size over the large. The best part? 195$. I cant believe it either.
One last note on straps. Love the nato strap, useful and a great way to diversify whats on your wrist without breaking the bank, if you can find them waterborne straps are what the cool guys use.
