The PING G20 driver offers a high launch through an aerodynamic head design and a large, forgiving clubface. Distance and accuracy are optimized by an external weight that optimizes the center of gravity position to generate high launch and low spin. The G20's large, variable-thickness face generates faster ball speeds and increases MOI (Moment of Inertia) for maximum forgiveness.
The 460cc clubhead is made from Ti 8-1-1, a lighter, lower-density alloy. Ti 8-1-1's high strength-to-weight ratio allows for additional weight to be strategically placed for increasing the MOI on both the vertical and horizontal axes. Weight savings from varying wall thicknesses in the crown and body are positioned to optimize performance and durability.
An external weight positions the CG (Center of Gravity) for high launch and low spin to maximize distance and accuracy.
The G20's clubface is larger, creating forgiveness and power across the entire hitting surface.
A key power generator is an aerodynamic 460cc head with reduced drag to increase clubhead speed. External weighting optimizes the CG position to maximize distance.

Stanley from Maplewood, MN | 8/14/2014 10:54 PM
I've gone driver shopping about 4 times with my driver. None were better. Then the staff brought over the Ping G20. It felt better and performed better. And still does on the course.
jpogue from Alton, IL | 4/18/2014 7:52 PM
very awesome driver
Matt from Valparaiso, IN | 3/27/2014 8:28 AM
The staff at golf galaxy was super helpful and very knowledgeable. The ability to try out multiple different clubs in the simulator to find the best fit for my swing was awesome. The driver is very forgiving and has added distance to my drive and straightend out my slice.
Kruser from Grayslake, IL | 3/23/2014 2:31 PM
I knew buying this driver i was going to turn some heads, but i was not prepared for what actually happened. My first drive using the G20 was like nothing I have ever experienced before. When the club made contact with the ball I heard people gasp! As the ball rolled to a stop around 350 yards other golfers were asking for my autograph. What was more amazing was by the time I finished the 18th hole I had both drink cart girls phone numbers. Trust me, this club is epic!
Nathan from Louisville, KY | 2/9/2014 10:00 AM
I love this club. I hit about 8 different drivers before I found the one that worked best. This all was with the help of the workers at Golf Galaxy.

Perfect for Weddings or Graduations, Old Town's Plaza Vieja Gazebo is the heart and soul of Albuquerque.
Venue Information
Old Town has been the center of community life and the heart of Albuquerque since its founding in 1706. With over ten blocks of historic shops, restaurants, and homes, Old Town has been the crossroads of the Southwest for nearly three centuries. This serene village preserves all that is authentic about New Mexico including its Pueblo Spanish style architecture.
The Gazebo is one of the focal points of Old Town, located directly in the center of the main plaza. Once an old stone structure, the Gazebo was renovated to have an adobe style framework while maintaining the traditional New Mexican style. Plenty of greenery, beautiful lighting, and old-town charm make this the perfect venue for an event. The open space allows the freedom to do your own lighting and décor and provides the versatility to have occasions small or large and formal or casual. Whatever your needs, the rental team is happy to work with you.
Rent the Gazebo Today!
As with all City Parks, rental of the Plaza Vieja Gazebo does not preclude the use of the park area by the general public.
Reservations for the following year may be booked up to 5 months in advance until Nov. 1, at which time bookings for the remainder of the following year will be accepted.
Rental Fees
The use fee for the Gazebo of $300.00 is due when making your reservation.

This 10.5" x 10.5" insanely layered Photoshop file has been sitting in my "finish" folder for more than a year. It has a million layers and I added a vintage wall paper or fabric when I saw one or when I felt like it. Finally done. Enjoy.
Thanks, guys. I kept trying to find ones that were true vintage so there would be no intellectual property issues. Generally over 100 years old is fairly safe for the taking (in many cases). Plus I only took a little piece. :)
incredible -- what a beautiful piece and the efforts show the amazing details that make it so great! xo
Double WOW, Rachel... and not just because it's beautiful, but also because of all the work you put into this! It's gorgeous!
wow, this is amazing, Rachel! Looks beautiful on the products and also as an art print. Glad to see you weren't too tired to make a pattern after all. ;)
Ha, yes this was started a long time ago and sat unfinished. All the new patterns people are doing reminded me to finish it up. Thanks for the comments!
Rachel, just letting you know that your iPhone case was advertised in Frankie magazine (an art/design culture mag). Australia & New Zealand readers all got to see your wonderful work in the Nov/Dec 2012 issue! Good on you! :D
Thanks, Romina, I was talking with one of the writers about it and provided the image. They were kind enough to send me a copy of it. I could not believe how cool the magazine was. Just gorgeous on every page!
How pretty! While I do see it can be read as a quilt, the colors and patterns make me think of oragami paper. Very nice!
Great design! I like the idea of it! Have a look of mine and see if you like it! http://society6.com/product/break-is-...rsonalidea

Classic Allure Rectangle Invitations Was able to personalize my invitation with font, colors and to match the theme of my wedding.
Great Service
Classic Allure Rectangle Invitations I'm really happy with buying from Magnet Street. They make sure to take care of you. I received all of my invitation and thank you cards in a nice coated cardboard magnetic closing box. The paper quality is great and I'm happy with having the ability to customize the colors (and with receiving a sample with the custom colors). These invites are classy and simple. I recommend buying this design and with buying from Magnet Street.
Exquisite invitations
Classic Allure Rectangle Invitations At first I was a little apprehensive about doing my own invitations. Not knowning what the final outcome might turn out to be, made me nervous. Nevertheless I went ahead, designed my wedding invites, the process of designing went smooth and easy. My invites turned out to be gorgeous! I recommend this product. Thank you Magnetstreet!
Classic and elegant
Classic Allure Rectangle Invitations This design is both classic and elegant and the matching Save the Date does not require a photograph. Affordable and beautiful!
Elegant Vintage
Classic Allure Rectangle Invitations This wedding invitation exceeded our expectations. We were very pleased with our save the dates so we decided to once more go to magnet street since they were so amazing with our previous order. When designing our invitations it was very user friendly and you can design them to your style. We chose the luxe pearl texture, the extra cost is completely worth it! It adds such elegance! We also selected the wedding invitation holder, completely worth it as well! Highly recommend these invitations if you're looking for an romantic and elegant look!

Questions raised over expansion of grading system
Monday, February 25, 2013
ROCHESTER — At an Instruction Committee meeting Thursday night, Rochester School Board members questioned whether the district is prepared to adopt competency-based grading systems at all levels.
The discussion began as Chairman of the Rochester School Board Robert Watson questioned the district's grading philosophy statement, asking why students are allowed one full year to make up their work if they are awarded an NYC grade, which stands for "not yet competent." Several board members agreed the timeline should be shortened, and Moriarty said arrangements would be made to allow students one semester and the summer months to make up their work.
In public comment, Rochester resident Doris Gates said she felt the board "missed the boat" by not putting out a survey earlier this year for the school community to respond to the new grading system. Her husband, Robert Gates, also suggested teachers and staff fill out a survey anonymously to express their feelings on the issue. |

Rodan & Fields New Anti-Age Eye Cloths
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Rodan & Fields' makeup remover towelettes are oversized and left our panelists' skin feeling clean and fresh. Though this product took the longest time to remove waterproof mascara in our lab test, our testers disagreed, giving it a good score for quickly removing their makeup. The most expensive of the products tested, it lost points on cost effectiveness — you'll only need one wipe per eye, but each costs about $1. rodanandfields.com.

Stepping into the Looking Glass: Reflections of ourselves in our family trees
In the whole of your life if you never saw an image of yourself, would you wholly know who you are? What would your perceptions of yourself be?
These questions were inspired by a late 19th century image in Aoife O'Connor's book Small Lives, an image in which a group of farm children from Connemara Ireland are pictured (See the photos here: NLI Tuke Collection). The photographer, Major Ruttledge-Fair, showed the children a copy of a photograph in which they appear. While the children pictured could easily point out their friends in the photograph, they did not recognize themselves in the image. Fair accounted for this lack of recognition saying,
"[The children] know each other at once, but not one recognises himself or herself never having seen that same — looking glasses being unknown." (O'Connor 26)
Those of us who are blessed with eyesight are accustomed to the image in the looking glass each morning, even as that image changes over time. Even without mirrors, like Narcissus, at some point we would find a obliging pond which would reflect back a wavy and watery shape which we would recognize as us. Also, for better or worse, we receive 'reflections' of ourselves from friends and family who let us know how we look from their perspective — pale, ruddy, fat, thin, happy, sad — and who they believe we are — brilliant or stupid, succinct or verbose, creative or unimaginative, compassionate or indifferent, and many other things along the continuum between these extremes.
Are we not also reflected through the optic of our family history?
This works on two levels.
First, whose stories do we choose to share, and whose do we leave untended? What do those choices say about us as individuals?
Second, in whom do we see ourselves reflected? Which ancestor or relative do we most resemble, be it in the way that he/she looked, or how we imagine their visage, his/her manner of comportment, or the life he/she led?
Many identify with ancestors who emerged as heroes, whether in the battles fought in wars, or in working for social justice, or in simply raising the fortunes of the family. However, is it perhaps too easy to see ourselves in the heroes? What if you found someone on your family tree who ended up in a workhouse? Would you be willing and able to see any part of that individual in yourself?
Some of us have ancestors and relatives who have suffered from mental illness. Can we see ourselves reflected in them? Are we able to tell their stories or are they kept under wraps?
As you look at your family tree, with whom do you truly have the most in common?
Who do you believe you would like most of all, and who would you honestly admit to disliking?
With whom could you see yourself arguing, and upon whom can you see yourself heaping praise?
If you stepped inside the looking glass and down into your family tree in whom would you see yourself reflected?
Think about it.

I truly enjoyed this post. It's an issue I struggle with continuously. I know that I "look" most like an aunt. Although I love her and she is a wonderful person with whom I have a good relationship, we could not be more different in our religious and philosophical views. You wonder how that can happen.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Kathy - I have looked like my mother's oldest sister (whom my mother detested) all my life... and got the brunt of my mother's rage because of that, and since my aunt was rather narcisstic and theatrical/dramatic, I never ever wanted to be like her. There is religious intolerance in some of our past ancestors, bigotry, affairs, and more. But I - as an individual - can continue to make conscious choices, to be the best "who" I can be. And reflect the largest and most honest "family" of ancestors who came before, all of them. We are unique, indeed.
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Celia,
Thanks so much for your comments. I feel a kinship with you and what you have said. All of my life I was told I look 'exactly' like my mom, something which was difficult to take when I was trying to carve out my own individual identity. As you say, we struggle, and ultimately we endeavour to be the best individual person we can be.
JenniferI should have said 'I have been told', not 'I was told'. I was making it sound as if I'm no longer here, but I am. :):)
I feel a kinship with Kathy and Celia on this. Looking like, feeling like, acting like other relatives or ancestors, good or bad, touches all of us. Thanks for this food for thought.
ReplyDeleteA very insightful post Jennifer. I guess we all "suffer" from the "you look like..." comments. These days I'm intrigued to hear my daughters comment on how much alike they look and refrain from saying "did you know how much like me, at your age, you look?"
The most pertinent thing, though, is the need to be aware of potential blindness in the stories we research, and those we tell, about our ancestral families. Just like us they have flaws and weaknesses as well as strengths, even if they were (some of them) also heroes. How do we cope if we find someone whose ethics truly challenge our views of family? What of scandals we suspect or unearth?
I know I have a bias towards expecting my ancestors to be ordinary people. We are who we are, because of all those who came before us, and because of our reflections, views and beliefs, and hard-won approach to life.
Thanks for a great post.RepliesHi Pauleen,
Thank you for your comments. As always, they are much appreciated. It is so true, as you say, that our ancestors were ordinary people with flaws, just like us. I find myself surprised when I speak with others who seem disappointed to find this is true. It seems as though many are searching for a great king or a famous pirate, instead of just a farmer or a carpenter. I find the stories of those ordinary people who strived and survived to be more compelling.
Some very thought provoking questions! I've always been told that I look like my father, but I can see a lot of my mother's side of the family in me too. Lately, I've been drawn to those leaves in my tree with no descendants. Who were they and what was their story? So far, I've discovered war heroes, a nun that became a nurse in the 1870s, a female farmer that smoked a corncob pipe, and a woman that was labled "feeble minded" and spent many years in a county infirmary. She turned out to the be the key that finally helped my trace my Irish ancestors. Great post! Kathryn

Peter Frampton Welcomes Former Eagle Don Felder And The Byrds' Roger McGuinn At NYC Gig
Thursday, June 27, 2013
Peter Frampton's "Guitar Circus Tour" hits New York City tonight (June 27th), with a sold-out appearance at the Beacon Theatre, feature two special guests -- former Eagle guitarist Don Felder and the Byrds' co-founder, the great Roger McGuinn. McGuinn told us that he's already getting psyched for his second appearance on the "Guitar Circus Tour": "I've only played one, and that was in Cleveland, and it was just a thrill to play with such a great band. And the audience was loving it and I was loving it. It was great, it was a great thing. I love what he does. He's such a great guitar player. He's really a good artist."
Roger McGuinn holds the distinction of being one of the first artists to delve into Frampton's back catalogue and cover one of his hidden gems. Fans of both the Byrds and Frampton have long taken note of McGuinn's 1977 cover of the Frampton's Camel standout, "All Night Long," which his then-manager hand picked for him: "I was ready to do a new album for Columbia, I had like a five-album contract with Columbia, and this turned out to be the last one, called Thunderbyrd. And I had some original material ready for it, but I needed some outside material to go along with it. During those sessions, he played me 'All Night Long.' And I heard 'All Night Long' and went 'Wow! That really. . .' I loved that. I loved the hook, I loved the punch of it. It rocked and it had a good melody and I could sing it, it was in my key, and was something I felt good about."
Although the two '70s guitar heroes are bound to thrill audiences, Don Felder wouldn't mind taking the collaboration with Frampton a step further: "I would love to write with him. He's really the legendary kind of, historic player. He's got such a pedigree of songs and history and his repertoire that it would be a great fit. I love Peter."

This where the flash should stand...
17/06/2013On Friday, June 14, 2013, the board of directors of Breguet and its President Mr. Marc A. Hayek inaugurated in Shanghai the brand's biggest boutique in the world.
On the program, official opening ceremony, visit of the boutique, discovery of the new Breguet exhibition and the brand's 3rd museum.
An estimated 300 guests attended the event and appreciated the multiple possibilities offered by this new store. More than a point of sale, it has been thought as a place for sharing where fine watchmaking admirers will love to escape.
Festivities continued with a walking dinner cocktail on the roof top of The Swatch Art Peace Hotel, which overlooks the Huangpu river. An occasion for the guests to admire by night the Bund boulevard and its historical buildings which form a bustling commercial centre and the heart of Shanghai's dynamic nightlife.

"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul
"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
wow, a FRB did a study that just happens to say that more spending = massive growth. color me surprisedA new paper from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRBSF), goes into detail on the economic benefits of infrastructure construction and repair.
... snip...
What they found was that within the first year of any infrastructure project, a solid 10% GDP growth grew out of that project.
so it has been more than 1 year since they spent all of the money on roads, where is all the GDP?
ok, the author loses all credibility with this statement

Insanity should be defined as trusting the government to solve a problem they caused in the first place. Please do not go insane!
When the hell was the last time the Republicans fought to make any real cuts in anything whatsoever - let alone "huge" ones? And it concludes with this scintillating little gem:Of course, the Republicans in congress don't care about this. They are fighting to make huge cuts to infrastructural improvements,
So ... some pro-stimulus partisan hack is impressed by the fact the the Federal Reserve (the engine that makes "stimulus" possible) has put out a "study" which concludes that stimulus is a wonderful idea. Gee, imagine that.If one seeks a conservative viewpoint, it is hard to find one more conservative than the Federal Reserve. It remains one of the dullest, most conservative departments of government imaginable, making even the IRS look like party animals by comparison. When the Federal Reserve is telling you that money should be spent on infrastructure, it is high time for the Republicans in Washington DC to listen. It was through gigantic projects like Hoover Dam and the Interstate Highway System that the United States grew into the world power it is today. A similar program today could restore us, and it is Republican Obstructionism which is holding back the economy. If they do not change their tune, they will be decimated in 2014.

building infrastructure in so much that it facilitates the economy, is good. building a bridge that services no one is no different than paying people to dig ditches then fill them back up again.
Investment in infrastructure can affect growth positively. But it can do that in boom and it bust situations. If an investment has an expected positive return, you invest. If not - don't invest. It's not true that investing in otherwise unprofitable infrastructure is a wise thing to do during recessions. Recessions are exactly the reallocation of badly allocated capital resources. You won't solve that problem by allocating even more resources to the wrong places.
Were the people that used to have jobs.......having trouble getting to work?
If suddenly every road and bridge was perfect, would that have made a difference?

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Well , for 3 million per year salary and matls , I will be willing to detonate one bridge per week. This should help immensely ( not ) , I can take 2 weeks vac and do one in each state.Tell the Fed to pm me when I should start, I need to put in some FMLA papers at my job , lol.What a bunch of douchebags.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Senate panel OKs money for shipyard improvements
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Senate Appropriations Committee Thursday approved $11.5 million in the FY2014 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill to fund shipyard improvements.
"The infrastructure of our public naval shipyards is woefully out of date compared to our other naval facilities," Collins said. "Accelerating the consolidation and modernization of the shipyard structural shops is critical to improving this condition and improving the operational efficiency at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard."
On Feb. 13, Collins met with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Sean Stackley and discussed the pending investment strategy. On April 24, Collins addressed the strategy with the Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, and the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert, during a Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing on the Navy's FY2014 budget. |

Three Masses are celebrated in conjunction with the annual Shiner Catholic Church fall picnic.
LOCATION: Saints Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church, 306 S. Avenue F, Shiner
SATURDAY: 5 p.m. (polka Mass)
SUNDAY: 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
It takes a lot of behind the scenes work to put on the Shiner Catholic Church fall picnic every year.
Now in its 92nd year, the event includes a variety of music, food, auctions and drawings.
But before the Knights of Columbus Park at 102 S. Ave. G is filled with revelers Sunday, many people put in many hours to make sure things go off as planned.
"It takes a group of people to do this," said Joe Machacek, church deacon and event co-chairman. "It's not all obvious to the public. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes."
Machacek praised volunteer Mildred Targac and parish employees Betty Kosler and Ann Duke for countless hours of "envelope stuffing" and other work to get the word out about the picnic.
"Mildred goes a great job with our publicity. She gets the people there," he said.
A three-meat dinner will be served from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Drive-thru plates are also available at the American Legion Hall on alternate Highway 90 East until 12:30 p.m.
All plates are $8.50.
Music, too, will ring out during the picnic.
Local accordion players will perform from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the Shiner Hobo Band takes the stage from 2 to 5 p.m.
In the outside biergarten, there will be a variety of music from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. Then, Los Kolaches will perform in the outside bingo pavilion from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m.
Inside the hall, with a $10 admission charge, a dance with The Emotions will be from 8:30 p.m. to midnight.
The picnic experience also includes a country store, live auction, arts and crafts booths and more.

Ultima Vez Modificado: 12 de febrero del 2006
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Can aromatase inhibitors be used to prevent reccurrence of malignant mammary tumors in dogs? If so, which one is indicated, and what dose do we use?
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
We are not aware of any studies published on the effect of aromatase inhibitors in dogs with mammary carcinoma, but based on the fact that many of these tumors are estrogen-dependent, express estrogen receptors, and respond to tamoxifen, it is reasonable to believe that aromatase inhibitors should be effective.
Aromatase inhibitors prevent estrogen synthesis, whereas tamoxifen works by blocking the estrogen receptor. Oophorectomy ("spaying" your dog) ablates the major source of estrogen production. The goal of all of these hormonal therapies is to help prevent mammary carcinoma cells from receiving further stimulation from estrogen.
Unfortunately we cannot provide any information about a specific aromatase drug, its dose, or its effectiveness, since its use is theoretical and no actual canine studies on this have been reported. If the dog is intact, then spaying would be a reasonable, more established approach.
Feb 12, 2010 - The overexpression of low-molecular-weight cyclin E in the tumors of many menopausal women with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancers nullifies the effects of letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor. However, letrozole's effect can be restored by adding the cyclin-dependent kinase 2 inhibitor roscovitine to treatment, according to a study published online Feb. 9 in Clinical Cancer Research.

quote:Today, planet hunters announced evidence that there's a planet orbiting one of our closest stellar neighbors. One of the three stars of the a Centauri star system shows the sort of periodic changes in brightness that are a hallmark of the presence of an orbiting planet. And, even though the new world would be far too hot to support liquid water, the astronomers who discovered it point out small planets tend to form in groups. Odds are good that there are additional planets lurking further out from the host star.
quote:The HARPS team (which was represented by Stéphane Udry and Xavier Dumusque of the Geneva Observatory) estimate that, based on Centauri B's habitable zone (which is roughly centered on distance that's equivalent to Venus' orbit) they should be able to spot a Super-Earth (having five to 10 times Earth's mass) in the habitable zone. And, given the probability that the system's plane is oriented towards Earth, we could also use an orbiting observatory to watch for planets transiting in front of Centauri B.
quote:What about visiting? Laughlin estimates that, given our current technologies, any probe we sent wouldn't arrive for about 40,000 years. So that's probably a no-go, "given our propensity for instant gratification." But there are some unproven propulsion ideas that could get us there much more quickly, and Laughlin said that, should this find ignite enough interest, we may look into those more seriously.
quote:The warp drive broke away from being a wholly fictional concept in 1994, when physicist Miguel Alcubierre suggested that faster-than-light (FTL) travel was possible if you remained still on a flat piece of spacetime inside a warp bubble that was made to move at superluminal velocity. Rather like a magic carpet. The main idea here is that, although no material objects can travel faster than light, there is no known upper speed to the ability of spacetime itself to expand and contract. The only real hint we have is that the minimum velocity of spacetime expansion during the period of cosmological inflation was about 30 million billion times the speed of light.

I made a little progress on my Village Blacksmith cleaver. This thing started off as a solid ball of rust, with the spine severely mushroomed from hammering.
I had to accept that I wasn't going to get rid of every single pit, nor get it perfectly flat, as I wouldn't have a cleaver left. This is the result of about 3 hours with a 4" stationary belt sander, 5" angle grinder with flap disks, bastard files and sanding blocks. I finally have 95% of the waviness out of the edge. I just need to figger out what my kid did with my 180 grit Norton stone.

February 2013 Equity Market Review
By Natalie Trunow, Chief Investment Officer, Equities, Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
CIO, Equities
The U.S. equity market continued its strong start to 2013 in February as investors looked past the federal budget sequester and focused on better-than-expected corporate earnings and mostly positive U.S. economic data. However, political turmoil in the eurozone and concerns about slower growth in China weighed more on international equity markets and contributed to their weaker performance. For the month, the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 1.36%, 1.34%, 1.10%, -0.95%, and -1.26%, respectively. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks during the month, and within the Russell 1000 Index, Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Utilities were the top-performing sectors, while the Materials, Information Technology, and Energy sectors lagged.
U.S. Economic Data Continues to Improve
U.S. policymakers were unable to reach a deal that avoided sequestration, prompting $85 billion in automatic spending cuts to take effect, but there seemed to be minimal impact on investor sentiment as market participants focused on the continuously improving U.S. housing and labor market data released during the month. Rising home prices, a mending job market, and significant stock market returns year-to-date also contributed to a rebound in consumer confidence in February.
The earnings season finished strong with 67% of S&P 500 companies beating earnings expectations and 65% topping revenue forecasts.
U.S. fourth quarter GDP was revised up during the month, indicating the U.S. economy grew at a 0.1% annual rate compared to the initially reported 0.1% downturn. The upward revision was driven largely by better trade data than was first estimated as energy-related exports rose to a record high while oil imports continued to decline.
Fed Maintains Accommodative Monetary Policy
FOMC minutes released in February highlighted the growing debate about the appropriate time to scale back the most recent round of quantitative easing, but Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke confirmed in his testimony to Congress during the month that asset purchases would continue until there are substantial improvements in the labor market.
Political Turmoil Resurfaces in Eurozone, While China's Economic Growth Shows Signs of Stabilizing
In the eurozone, political uncertainty in Italy reignited the region's sovereign debt crisis as Italian voters supported parties promising to scale back austerity measures, while German opposition to direct bank recapitalizations from European Stability Mechanism (ESM) funds threatened to derail the possibility of eurozone banks accessing bailout funds directly.
Core European economies continued to be impacted by the region's recession as France reduced its 2013 growth outlook by half and the U.K. had its AAA credit rating cut by Moody's.
The material slowdown in emerging markets also continued in February as China's manufacturing PMI slowed and foreign direct investment declined on a year-over-year basis for an eighth consecutive month. Although the impact of the eurozone recession will likely continue, with exports rising 25% in January from a year earlier, the Chinese economy did show signs of stabilizing.
We anticipate that 2013 will be a good year for U.S. equities as investors look past the political dysfunction in Washington and move more money into stocks as they become more comfortable with risk. Value stocks generally performed better than growth companies in the second half of 2012, and we believe that this trend may persist in 2013 as risk aversion continues to subside. We also think that small-cap equities are poised to post better returns than large-caps, driven by healthy earnings and top-line results as well as global M&A activity. Finally, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues could become more prominent factors in individual stock performance in 2013 as the flow of information becomes more seamless and consumers become more aware of the impacts of ESG factors. As a result of these broad equity market trends, active equity managers should regain their ability to help investors benefit in 2013.
In the wake of the U.K. losing its AAA rating, there seems to be little marketplace focus on how the dysfunctional U.S. political process could negatively impact the credit rating of U.S. government debt. Any discussion of a downgrade by a credit-rating agency could once again upset investor sentiment and ignite market volatility. Overall, however, the United States remains in the driver's seat of the global economy for the time being, with the rest of the world benefiting from continued U.S. economic growth, however tepid.
As risk aversion subsides and investors are less willing to accept tiny—or negative—inflation-adjusted yields from Treasuries, we are likely to see the performance spreads between equities and fixed-income securities reverse from their historically low levels and return to longer-term historical averages. From a relative valuation point of view, stocks are still very attractive relative to bonds.
Equity markets started 2013 having gained a tremendous amount of ground since the depths of the financial crisis. A recovering U.S. housing market, a decline in unemployment, record-high exports, and encouraging year-end manufacturing data fueled by an attractive U.S. dollar exchange rate have all helped boost U.S. equity market sentiment. However, with earnings season winding down and few positive catalysts on the near-term horizon, a short-term pull-back in equities remains a distinct possibility.

+ Observer gets a new boss
It's all smiles when your new boss turns out to be an invisible rabbit named Harvey! On Tuesday, March 9, The Players Theatre Director Linda MacCluggage led the invisible rabbit to the Observer's Main Street office, City Hall and a few other locations as a promotion for the upcoming comedy drama, "Harvey." The play is about a man named Elwood P. Dowd, who befriends an invisible rabbit. Naturally his new friend makes his family question his sanity.
The play opens Thursday, March 28, at The Players Theatre and runs through April 7. If you go, be sure to lookout for the Business Observer's web editor, Amanda Heisey, who plays Nurse Kelly (pictured at bottom left in the photo above).
+ John Olenick becomes king for a day
On March 1, John Olenick celebrated his 100th birthday. His wife cooked for him, which he enjoyed — pierogies are his favorite. And, the staff at the Sarasota Opera House, where he is the assistant house manager and has been volunteering for the past 25 years, gave him a special present.
Executive Director Richard Russell came onstage to make the curtain speech before "King for A Day," in celebration of Olenick's birthday. Olenick waved from what has become known as his "corner" in the back right of the Opera House, where he sits for every opera performance. The entire audience gave him a standing ovation. Following the production, the entire company sang "Happy Birthday" and celebrated his day with two birthday cakes.
"It feels pretty good that you're still alive!" he says of the milestone.
+ Come to their cabarets
Georgia Court was honored Saturday, March 9, at Florida Studio Theatre for her patronage and donation, which made the new John C. Court Cabaret and "Georgia's Johns" restrooms possible. A full audience sat in the new seats of the new Cabaret, which, because of Court's donation, allowed subscriptions to go up by 2,000. And thanks to Court, there will no longer be "long lines and woefully inadequate space (in the bathroom)," says Jennifer Saslaw, on the board of trustees.
Richard and Rebecca Hopkins, along with Saslaw, spoke about what her donation means to the theater; the cast of "By Gershwin" performed "Our Love is Here to Stay"; and Kate Alexander gave a toast all in honor of Georgia Court.
+ Jack Perkins gets transcendental
Retired TV newsman Jack Perkins opted to end his career at its height after 35 years. He and his wife moved to a desolate island in Maine and lived using solar panels and a wood stove, away from all humanity. He wasn't expecting to have a religious epiphany, but it changed his life forever.
He gave Diversions an exclusive video interview about his new book, "Finding Moosewood Finding God."
Hot Ticket
'Always Something New': Fuzión Dance Artists presents its seventh season dance concert at 8 p.m. Friday, March 15 at FSU Center for the Performing Arts, 5555 N. Tamiami Trail. This show runs through Sunday, March 17. Tickets are $30. Call 359-0099 for more information.
Lazy Fairy Improv: This comedy improv troupe performs at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, at The Players Theatre, 838 N. Tamiami Trail. Tickets are $12. Call 365-2494.
Patron Saints
Sarasota is arguably the cultural capital of Florida. The arts thrive here, and it's because of one group of people — the supporters.
For the rest of the season, The Observer is producing a weekly online video series spotlighting patrons' stories and their effect on the arts. Visit YourObserver.com/Content/Patron-Saints-378 to watch the Gardiners' story involving WBTT.
First in this series, take Longboaters Michael and Karen Gardiner. They went to a Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe (WBTT) show four-and-a-half years ago because the Motown theme attracted Michael Gardiner's attention. The man, who had retired from marketing for Hertz Rent-a-Car, noticed WBTT's advertising was a little less than par. He offered his assistance to founder and Artistic Director Nate Jacobs. Watch the video for the full scoop.
