The trip was excellent. Some parts of Maui are so beautiful it's hard to believe it's real. We spent most of our time exploring the beaches, jungles, villages, etc. Definitely stayed away from the bigger resort areas as much as possible. Here are a few photos from the trip: ^Shutter released right before I nearly slipped and fell over the edge... ^The rental whip for a week. ^Black sand beaches; outdone only by red sand beaches.

Well confirmed my coolant leak is from the HG rear area. Didn't get a really good look at that plastic flange DC was talking about, but I'm confident it's from the HG. Guess it needs to tackled sooner rather than later.
Replaced the fuel filler hose, and clamp. I hope that fixes that issue. I want the car back in the garage! The clamp was completely in two. The hose actually looked fine, but figured I'd replace anyway. Wanted to replace the steering lines too, but the baby started fussing and woke up from her nap. So, fixit time is over today. And I hate being under the car on jack stands...

Double clutching works for upshifts too. Before the invention of synchros that was how EVERY shift was made. Takes a little practice but you'll learn how to rev match pretty quickly.

Good luck with the interview! Matt, My old roommate has an XDM in .40. It was very capable and reliable. IMHO it's ugly, but it's not meant to be looked at. Have you sourced one yet? Around here anything with a mag capacity over 10 is flying off the shelf. If your area's stock is like mine, it'll also be better to switch to .40. 9mm, along with .22lr and .223, is either sold out or ridiculously marked up. Gander Mountain usually comes in a little more expensive than local gun shops. Karl, Awesome pictures! I'll be in Kauai for the second half of February. Any suggestions for things to do? We havent decided which other islands to going to visit.

Yep, I'm a skinny dude (5'11"/145lbs). Disproportionately strong for my size, but still quite skinny.
I spent my entire time in Maui, so I can't really speak to what's cool in Kauai. If by any chance you visit Maui, driving the Hana Highway was completely awesome. I'd also definitely recommend snorkeling if you get the chance. The water is still super warm, and I saw all kinds of amazing fish, sea turtles, and coral reef. It will also be the height of whale season, too. Otherwise, I recommend that you never stay idle for more than a few hours. We spent our days on the move, constantly moving on to new things, and only spent enough time at our bed & breakfeast rooms to sleep. Getting up before dawn and having a full day was pretty key, since Hawaii isn't that special after the sun goes down at night.

went to the museum of modern art yesterday. i coordinated a bus trip and it was quite a bit of work. will probably be doing some more, as there are lots of places to go. we would have had a larger group, though, had we not had so many sick. 6 floors of the moma, went through the whole thing. there was some 'performance art' that had no description or explanation of what the performance was 'about'. this was on the main floor. it was very strange. very much like the 6th floor. lots of strange art from japan. some of it was political. i don't particularly care for politics in my art. there are always new things happening, though, as there were about 3 or 4 areas of installations in progress. i also noticed that the crowd came in about 1:30 and stayed till about 5. overall it was a good trip, and i will be planning more. df

Only if you overlook the claim that "Langerin is a natural barrier to HIV-1 transmission by Langerhans cells."
No, not really. Cells can express a lot of different proteins that are innately antiviral, but that doesn't mean that the cell still can't be infected. Infection of Langerhans and other classes of dendritic cells by HIV is a well established fact. Not to mention that on immune activation Langerhans cells become mature dendritic cells and stop expressing Langerin.

(Speaking as a man with a foreskin, who can't quite imagine what it would be like not to have one... uncomfortable?)
I occasionally see reports about circumcision affecting cancer outcomes, AIDS transmission, things like that.
What completely mystifies me, is the mechanics of these effects. Perhaps a foreskin can lead to increased transmission of AIDS. How? By what mechanism?
The foreskin is known to be highly enriched for the types of peripheral immune cells that carry the specific receptors used by HIV for entry into the cell, such as Langerhans cells and macrophages, while the rest of the penis is not. So by removing the foreskin you are limiting exposure to the specific cell types that HIV can infect.

I'm forfeiting a mod point for this, sorry to whoever I modded up... The actual abstract of the actual paper backing up this claim (BOLD IS MINE):
ABSTRACT. Existing scientific evidence demonstrates potential medical benefits of newborn male circumcision; however, these data are not sufficient to recommend routine neonatal circumcision. In circumstances in which there are potential benefits and risks, yet the procedure is not essential to the child's current well-being, parents should determine what is in the best interest of the child. To make an informed choice, parents of all male infants should be given accurate and unbiased information and be provided the opportunity to discuss this decision. If a decision for circumcision is made, procedural analgesia should be provided.
IOW, no, we're not recommending anything, we're simply saying there are POTENTIAL medical benefits. Well there are potential medical benefits to getting my appendix removed, or my tonsils cut out, it doesn't mean I should be forced to make that decision.
Stupid journalists, we need to seriously trim the fat in that industry and start with these jackasses who misrepresent science for political gain.
You're quoting the American Academy of Pediatrics report published in 1999, not the one from this year. There has been a lot of research published on this since then.

Right. That's why we've had all these epidemics and plagues that came out of USAMRIID and similar institutions. Oh, wait, that's right, you haven't. Because we know how to store and contain weaponized or highly contagious pathogens.
There have been 3 separate instances in the last 10 years where BSL3 pathogens have escaped from a lab and infected people, including one in Beijing where a small local outbreak occurred and one person died of SARS. My biggest concern isn't so much the publication of the knowledge, but rather that this pathogen is actually not being kept at a USAMRIID-like facility, but a BSL3 at University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Pathogenity requires extensive adaptive mechanisms from a microbe, otherwise it isn't able to live in an organism with an immune system. Microbes that cause human illnesses have through countless generations developed traits that enable them to grip molecules on human cells, thrive in tissues, and resist the immune cells' attempts to destroy them.
I don't know if I really agree with that. Some of the more dangerous pathogens are those that have recently jumped from other species and have had little time to evolve into coexistence with their new host. SIV infections are symptomless in their natural host, but deadly in related primate species (including HIV in humans). Same thing with herpesviruses, relatively minor symptoms in their natural host, but often deadly when they make a zoonotic jump (herpes B amd AlHV are good examples). Plus 120,000 years ago is not very long at all on an evolutionary time scale and it could have easily been exposed to other primates/mammals (even humans) at that time. In fact the age of it really only guarantees that a human host would have zero protective immunity against it, so it would be like smallpox blowing through native American populations.

Reading Ryoanji: (De)Constructing an Asian Icon
A talk by Professor Kendall Brown, Asian Art History, Cal State Long Beach
Thursday, May 03, 2007
275 Dodd Hall
The stone garden at Ryoanji in Kyoto is an iconic landscape: an emblem of Japan, a symbol of Zen and perhaps even a marker for pre-modern Asian culture. Yet for all the rhetoric of authenticity and profundity, the actual history of the garden is highly problematic and its fame the product of the twentieth century. This talk surveys the contentious history of the garden and its modern interpretations, then analyzes how the temple administrators carefully stage the experience of the garden. It concludes by suggesting different kinds of tourist performance at the garden.
The Ryoanji garden has played an important role in the "inspiration and re-creation" of the Chinese garden.

Well these are two of my favourite players in the league currently. If I'm ranking I generally rank Love ahead of Westy but I'll need more time in this season to assess how much they have grown as players. Love by a hair at the moment however going mostly based on last season.
Kevin Love.
Favourite Teams:
Boston Red Sox: 2013 World Series Champs, less than 3 weeks to opening day
Indianapolis Colts: 11-5, 2013 AFC South Champs, great season guys.
Detroit Pistons: 24-39, games this week vs. Sacramento, Toronto and Indiana
Ottawa Senators: 28-25-11, games this week vs. Nashville, Colorado and Montreal
I'd rather have Love.

The Mid-Dakota Chapter of the American Red Cross held a toiletries for veterans give-away on March 8-9 at the Veterans Center in Minot. The Exchange Club and Veterans Center joined in the efforts to coordinate the event as well as collecting toiletries.
During the two-day give-away, 86 veterans attended the event and 75 toiletry bags were given away. Members of the community doing drives within their work organizations or schools, as well as Wal-Mart, CVS Pharmacy, Kmart, Rebel 1 Stop, White Drug, Dakota Dental and Thrifty Drug all made this event possible. Nearly $2,000 worth of items were donated.
"We did not anticipate such a great turn-out for this event. We only had 50 bags ready for the give-away and at the end of the day on Tuesday we had given out 44 of those bags," said Susan Ewert, Emergency Services coordinator at the Mid-Dakota Chapter. "We had great support from Wal-Mart, which donated toiletry items at the last minute on Tuesday evening, so that we were able to have 32 more bags filled and ready to be given out by Wednesday morning."
Article Photos
Submitted Photo - - The positive response to the first day of the toiletries giveaway project for area veterans caught the Mid-Dakota American Red Cross a little short. Fortunately, they received an equally strong response from area businesses and put additional bags together by the second day, handing out some 75 altogether.
Red Cross volunteer services to U.S. veterans date back to World War I and are consistent with the mission of its congressional charter. Today, the Red Cross is proud to maintain its commitment to the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Deconstruction: what I term taking apart clothing to in order to use for another purpose ie: re-purposing, re-cycling, up-cycling or re-using. I have had several pieces of clothing scattered around waiting for the deconstruction so that I can use the fabric for another purpose. Why not donate it to Goodwill or some other charity? Well, these particular pieces had issues. One top had a snap front and a snap in a vital position was gone. Well, anyway you get the idea. Here is the stack of tops waiting for the deconstruction to begin. They have been washed and dried and are ready for a new life.
Sorry, I am still getting used to the new camera and I know that this is a bit blurry.
I cut the seams off. So then you are left with little skinny strings of seams. This is the underarm seam from the hem to the wrist.
Here are the seams from this shirt.
Then I cut the cuffs off of the sleeve.
This is called the placket and I cut it off and toss it in the trash. Sometimes these plackets have little buttons and I cut those off and add them to the button box.
I also cut off the button band and then the buttonhole band as well.
Here is shirt number one, as deconstructed as I like it. I keep the buttons and the fabric.
See the rest of the tops all ready for new life.
See the seam strings to the right of the stack of tops. I also had a nice pile of buttons that I put away in the button box. The cuffs I am sending to a friend.
So that is one way to deconstruct a shirt.
What would you do with all of the cuffs and seam strings?
I have had some thoughts but would love more input!

But as evidenced by the roll Wayne has been on for the last season and a half, the defending champs have talent, and perhaps more importantly, experience to spare.
"These players are pretty mature," Harmon said. "They know the level of competition goes up a little each week. If you looked at us, you wouldn't say, 'All that team has to do is show up.' They know they have to play well and execute."
While the two main cogs in Wayne's backfield will either be unavailable or less than 100 percent, the Pioneers' defense will have to deal with a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in the Eagles' backfield.
Ben D'Annunzio has racked up 1,427 yards and 14 touchdowns on 148 carries, while Tre Cox has added 1,112 yards and 18 scores on 144 rushes.
But it seems like a different player for Byrd steps up every week, and last week that player was Mason Compton.
The senior returned the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown, scored on a 60-yard touchdown catch, and intercepted two passes on defense.
"Every week a different kid comes in and steps up," Carey said. "This year we have a lot of skilled athletes."

I seriously cannot believe I have waited this long to share these with you. What can I say? Life happens! It was a sad day... we lost our little Wheaten, Maya. She got sick. Real sick. She's at peace now. Our hearts are sad, but we are ok. She's not hurting anymore which makes it bearable. There's the down side of things. But we've also had some ups. We had an amazing visit with my grandparents. I fell in love with pineapple upside down cake and my family had a fabulous train ride. Enjoyed my in-laws company for a few days, along with some fireworks! And to top it off, my almost first grader is home~ which is the best part! I love it when my kids are home and I don't have to share them with the rest of the world... or at least with the school for the majority of the day :)! We're up to nothing but fun now! Which means blogging has sort of taken the back seat. But I'm back with something totally super yummy! I promise. Let me introduce you to my inspiration.... |

For the neophytes, the God of War series tells the story of Kratos, a Spartan warrior whose lust for blood leads him down the dark path to self-destruction. Soon enough, the ŌĆśGhost of SpartaŌĆÖ finds himself a slave to the Gods of Olympus and chooses to rebel in the most brutal fashion imaginable. The narrative of both games is pure hokum, but the clever way in which the tropes, icons and figures of Greek mythology have been updated gives the series a sense of freshness not shared by the floppy-haired casts of every other anime-inspired action title.
The melodrama plays out in the form of an action-adventure, comprising accessible combat, exploration and puzzle-solving. Even by todayŌĆÖs standards, both of the games in Collection represent sterling examples of terrific pacing and seamless transitions of different gameplay mechanics. One minute sees Kratos pulling levers and leaping over traps, while the next sees him engaged in an eye-boggling set-piece battle against a lumbering colossus, and it is this varied and consistently measured approach to progression and level design which makes the God of War titles so engaging. The combat system itself is fairly rudimentary, owing more to titles like Final Fight than any heavyweights in the action genre such as Devil May Cry or Bayonetta, but it is instantly accessible and satisfying from start to finish. The litany of upgrades available for each of KratosŌĆÖ primary weapons wards off any scent of repetition, and overall, one would be hard-pressed to name another entry in the genre which is as gratifying as the games on offer in Collection. These games are beloved pieces of pop-entertainment for a reason; they are welcoming and mainstream but never relinquish any of their sense of challenge.
Overall, Collection plays even better than the two games did in their original iterations. Controls are smooth and responsive, and aided by an enhanced framerate which appears to remain locked at a consistent sixty frames-per-second across both titles. If you have never played either of the God of War titles, this is the place to start. For many, returning to the PlayStation 2 iterations will be unbearable in light of the improved performance on display in Collection.
Along with the buttery-smooth framerate, Collection boasts HD-quality visuals, and believe us, the improvement in resolution and image quality is astounding. For seriesŌĆÖ veterans, the games will seem new and vital, and those who have never seen the originals will wonder how the titles ever ran on the PlayStation 2 hardware. God of War 2 in particular boasts graphics so detailed and laden with effects that it outstrips many titles of the current generation. These were always gorgeous games, but Collection ensures that gamers can throw aside their rose-tinted nostalgia-goggles and behold these classics as the technical showcases they represented at the time of their release. Sadly, the only fly in the ointment is the quality of the gameŌĆÖs video scenes. These cinemas, whether FMV or in-engine animations, are held back by the quality in which they were originally rendered, and the result is that watching Collection can be somewhat of a bumpy, uneven experience, ranging from the sublime to the sloppy. Still, the game is gorgeous where it counts, and is best experienced on the largest high-definition set one can muster. The sublime orchestral score and pounding effects sound as wonderful as they ever did also. All in all, what was once regarded as beautiful is beautiful once more, and has us salivating at the prospect of other titles in the PlayStation 2 back catalogue being afforded the same loving rejuvenation.
These screenshots accompanied the second game's original release. This time, however, the visuals really do look this good.
As a package, Collection is a tremendous bargain, offering two substantial adventures and a raft of bonus content which was previously available as part of the limited edition releases of the originals. There is little else to be found on the disc, but the addition of trophies makes a profound difference to the lifespan of both games, giving veterans a chance to display their prowess to the world at large.
To answer the questions posed in the introductory paragraph, God of War: Collection is a sleek, tidy culmination of two of the most influential, engrossing action-adventures ever made, delivering both games in their definitive iteration. If you already own both of these titles, buy Collection to experience them as they should be experienced. If you are new to the series, begin your education by sampling what God of War: Collection has to offer. With no confirmed Australian release date for the stand-alone collection, you may have to turn to your local importer to track down a copy or purchase the upcoming Ultimate Trilogy Edition of God of War III; trust us, you will be glad you did.

Durkin Picks Members of House GOP Leadership Team
By Associated Press
The new Republican leader in the Illinois House of Representatives has named his leadership team.
Western Springs Rep. Jim Durkin is keeping most of the assistants who reported to Oswego Rep. Tom Cross, who left the top position in the chamber to run for Illinois treasurer.
Peoria Rep. David Leitch and Westmont Rep. Patti Bellock will be the chamber's deputy GOP leaders.
Leitch, who is the longest-serving Republican in the chamber, held the same position under Cross.
Durkin also picked six other assistant leaders. Meanwhile, Murphysboro Rep. Mike Bost will continue to be caucus chairman.
Leadership positions come with an extra bump in pay. Lawmakers earn a salary of almost $68,000.
They'll begin work Nov. 1.

Matzah ball
Matzah ball | |
Matzah balls in a bowl of soup
Alternative name(s) | kneydl (frequently also transliterated as knaidel or kneidel)[1] |
Region or state | Ashkenazi Jewish areas of Central and Eastern Europe[2][3][4] |
Serving temperature | temperature at which broth simmers[5][6] |
Main ingredient(s) | matzah meal, egg, water, oil or schmaltz or margarine[5][6] |
Matzah balls (Yiddish: קניידלעך kneydlekh pl., singular קניידל kneydl; with numerous other transliterations) are an Ashkenazi Jewish soup dumpling made from a mixture of matzah meal, eggs, water, and a fat, such as oil, margarine, or chicken fat. Matzah balls are traditionally served in chicken soup. For some they are a staple food on Passover.
Schmaltz (chicken fat) imparts a distinctive flavor, but modern cooks now prefer vegetable oils or margarine.[6][7] The balls are dropped into a pot of salted boiling water or chicken soup. Keeping one's hands wet is vital when handling the sticky balls. The balls swell during the boiling time of approximately 20 minutes.
The texture of matzah balls may be light or dense, depending on the recipe and the skill of the cook. Matzah balls enthusiasts classify them as "floaters" or "sinkers".[citation needed]
Although official transliterations, done by the YIVO Institute, of Yiddish words into English exist, many transliterations are commonly performed on a nonstandard basis.[1] Alternate transliterations of the Yiddish term for matzah ball, in the singular, include: knaidl,[8] knaidel,[1] kneidl,[9] and kneidel.[1] Transliterations in the plural include: knaidels,[10] knaidlach,[11] knaidelach,[12] kneidels,[13] kneidlach,[14] kneidelach,[5] kneydls,[15] kneydels,[16] and kneydlach.[4]
Spelling bee controversy[edit]
The various transliterations of the term gave rise to minor controversy in June 2013, when it was the winning word in the 2013 Scripps National Spelling Bee. Thirteen-year-old Arvind Mahankali of New York spelled "knaidel" correctly in accordance with Webster's Third New International Dictionary, the official dictionary of the Bee, to become the champion.[1] However, there was controversy whether that was indeed the definitive spelling of the term, with others preferring "knaydel", "kneydel", "knadel", or "kneidel".[1]
World records[edit]
According to the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE), Joey Chestnut holds the world record for eating matzah balls; he ate 78 matzah balls in 8 minutes.[17]
In 2010, the world's largest matzah ball was prepared by Chef Jon Wirtis of Shlomo and Vito's New York Delicatessen, located in Tucson, Arizona. He created a 426 pound matzah ball for New York's Jewish Food Festival. The ingredients were 125 pounds of matzah meal, 25 pounds of schmaltz, over 1,000 eggs and 20 pounds of potato starch.[18] This broke the previous record set by Chef Anthony Sylvestri of Noah's Ark Deli to raise awareness for a charity basketball game,[19] which weighed 267 pounds (121 kg) and was 29.2 inches (74 cm) long and was made from "1000 eggs, 80 pounds of margarine, 200 pounds of matzah meal, and 20 pounds of chicken base".[20]

Derrick Rose gets first Sports Illustrated cover
Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose appears on his first Sports Illustrated cover this week. The last Bulls player to appear on the cover was Michael Jordan on Jan. 25, 1999.
Bulls star Derrick Rose will be on the April 18 Sports Illustrated cover, a first for the player many consider to be the NBA's leading MVP candidate.
D-Rose becomes the first Bull to grace the cover since Michael Jordan on Jan. 25, 1999.
The cover story talks about how Rose leads a growing trend in the NBA where teams are generating their offense from the perimeter rather than the post.
Let's hope Rose avoids the dreaded SI cover jinx, the notion that bad luck befalls cover athletes. It didn't seem to affect Jordan during his record 49 appearances.

Namibia Food and Drink Report Q4 2013
Report description
BMI View: Poverty is endemic in Namibia; despite its relatively high per capita income (estimated to be about US$5,300 in 2012), inequality and high unemployment (estimated by the World Bank at 40%) has kept much of this wealth concentrated in relatively few hands. The government has sought to address this, and the outlook for private consumption may improve markedly as the number of wage-earners expands. The relatively small size of the population does make Namibia relatively less attractive than a number of countries around it for growth seeking multinationals.
Key Forecasts (local currency)
¦ Total food consumption growth in 2013: 10.3%. Compound annual growth rate to 2017: 10.1%.
¦ Mass grocery retail sales growth in 2013: 11.8%. Compound annual growth rate to 2017: 11.3%.

Are home-theater-in-a-box systems yesterday's news?
The home-theater-in-a-box systems (HTIBs) I reviewed 10 years ago were pretty lame, but I've been amazed by the progress of these systems over the years. The best of the breed, like the Onkyo HT-S990THX and the Samsung HT-BD1250, produce astonishing sound quality for not a lot of money.
But the market appears to be moving away from HTIBs, as more and more of today's buyers are opting for easier-to-install sound bar speakers. I can understand why; HTIBs may be one-box solutions, but they still require extensive setup routines, and you have to run wires to five or more … Read more

"Neogenesis", the fifth studio album from Swedish death metallers DIABOLICAL, will be released on April 19. The CD was recorded at Necromorbus Studio (WATAIN, UNANIMATED, DESTRÖYER 666) in Alvik, Sweden with the band's vocalist/guitarist, Sverker Widgren, in the producer's chair.
Comments DIABOLICAL guitarist Tobias Jansson: "It is with great pleasure that we finally get to share this album with the world. We have put in a tremendous amount of effort into this recording and spent the most part of the last six months in studio Necromorbus. I think we have raised the bar for ourselves a lot with 'Neogenesis' both with the songwriting and the recording. It has been tough, but very interesting for us as well."
Adds DIABOLICAL guitarist Carl Stjärnlöv: "Originally I wanted someone else to do the artwork for us this time since I've done it for the last two releases and I also wanted to focus on the recording. However, in the end we didn't find what we were looking for with any artist, so I once again took on the task. I wanted to make something that reflected the philosophical and spiritual aspects of this album and I had a vision of what I wanted. I discussed it with Pär and he and I realised the idea by him making a painting which I mixed with photos of all of us in the band, so what you see on the cover artwork is actually a band photo with all of us combined into one face blended with Pär's painting. On top of that I added a lot of symbols that are significant to the concept of 'Neogenesis'."
DIABOLICAL has added a "second chapter" to the "Neogenesis" tour that will start off on the April 12, with dates throughout Europe until April 21.

Morningstar STILL Does Not Get It
The new system will be called Morningstar Analyst RatingTM (I believe they have added the word analyst) that will be based on the following "Pillars"; People, Process, Parent, Performance, and Price. Further down in the (very lengthy) press release it says that people are the managers and their tenure, process is the investment process, parent is the parent company and the last two probably don't need explanation.
Where the context is actively managed funds there is no way to look forward. "We think the manager will make a good call on industrials and other cyclically sensitive stocks in the fourth quarter." It is not credible to me that had this process been in place before they would have told people to sell Bill Miller's fund or Bruce Berkowitz' fund.
Assessing investment process is potentially interesting. Plain language about top down/bottom up, growth/value, some sort of screening process or anything else like this, if it is not provided already, would help people better understand what they own. It is not clear how this can be universally forward looking. Maybe something like "their screening process fared poorly in 2004 and we think 2011 is a lot like 2004" could add value (totally made up example in every respect).
The forward looking nature of the other three is lost on me unless people use technical analysis on actively managed mutual funds.
As a source of data the site is quite useful. As best as I can tell, after being peculiarly slow to try to do anything with ETFs they still appear to not really understand how to use the product (I was on a panel with Scott Burns once and he knows the mechanics extremely well).
There is simply no way to know what an active manager will do in the future or what might happen in his life that could somehow affect his job. Think about it, what stock or fund will you buy six months from now? If you don't know that for yourself then I assure you Morningstar can't know it for some actively managed mutual fund, let alone a whole universe of them.
The boiler plate of every fund provides a warning about past performance but how likely are you to buy a serial underperformer? The fund's past performance will, at a minimum, be a major driver in the decision. I don't find that dynamic particularly appealing and so I am not a fan of the wrapper but plenty of people are and part of the equation is an unquantifiable faith in the manager.

"There is simply no way to know what an active manager will do in the future or what might happen in his life that could somehow affect his job."
Couldn't a similar argument be extended to all RIAs, portfolio managers etc. who utilize some sort of active strategy?
I believe your statement(s) make a compelling argument in favor of passive investing. If the smart folks at Morningstar can't get it, what's the average Joe to do? - 7:20 AM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
Yes there is no way to do a forward looking analysis on an RIA either. The important thing would be buying into the strategy that the RIA you hire believes in.
In hiring an RIA you have believe in the strategy, believe the RIA will have discipline to stick to it and can execute it reasonably well. This combo should make for a good client/RIA fit.
The same applies to do it yourselfers IMO. If you manage your own you need a strategy you can live with (believe in), can stick to when times get tough and can be reasonably proficient with.
Part of my writing is to try to push people to take an introspective look at all of these issues. - 7:26 AM

I have usually viewed outfits such as Morningstar as nothing more than a well-marketed hand holding service.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
An astute finacial advisor is a much better wealth investor, so long as the advisor only invests in dividend growth stocks.

Very true, well said.
Doesn't hurt to follow a blog that makes you think from time to time either, especially when it comes to dividends. - 8:50 AM

I don't use M* for their analysis but find 2 things at M* very useful:
- portfolio manager: I think it's one of the best ones out there. Handles dividends, splits, distributions and such.
- their forums: Quite unlike the other investing forums like yahoo which are mostly spam. - 12:50 PM

I was planning on becoming a DZ with my portfolio in 2012 or 2013.
A year or so ago you convinced me this would be wrong. Although I may still implement it with just the taxable portion of the portfolio.
- Roger Nusbaum said...
nothing wrong with owning DG stocks in a portfolio or devoting a tranche (for people who prefer to view it that way) to DG, I simply think all in on any strategy is a bad idea.
- Anonymous said...
The DG proxy for bonds was way out there. I was surprised how many well spoken folks bought into that idea.
Sam - 3:50 PM

This research piece from Vanguard might be of interest for taxable investors.
It is an analysis of the total return approach versus an income approach. Vanguard says the total return approach is more likely to increase the longevity of a portfolio in addition to other benefits they cite in the piece.
It supports Roger's assertion that "all in" is not a good idea. - 4:43 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
Sam, I think a lot of people talking bonds for dividend stocks don't think of it as way out there.
Thanks for the link WH - 5:09 PM

What the hell. If you can buy into DG stocks as a proxy for bonds, it's only a small step to have a four stock portfolio which is buy and hold. IF I just knew which four stocks to buy...........
Sam - 6:32 PM

one dude on SA knows the four and left many comments about why those four

By Michael Gioia The world premiere of Bunty Berman Presents… is McLane's current project. Set in a 1950s Bollywood studio and incorporating music inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood, The New Group production began previews April 12 for a run through June 1. Opening night is set for May 9.
"It's really a funny comedy about a Bollywood producer in the 1950s in Bombay whose movie studio is failing, and he's trying to create a hit," said McLane. "He's trying to rescue his movie studio from bankruptcy… It's a pretty funny piece, and it's a totally unusual world for a musical — India in the 1950s. The [show is] set in his studio — the Bunty Berman soundstage — and it has to become a zillion different places through the course of the show, which is a challenge at The New Group because the theatre's tiny."
McLane pulled from his earlier days, when he lived in India, to design the Off-Broadway show. "I've actually been to India a lot, and I lived in India when I was a child," he said. "I couldn't find very many good photographs of movie studios from that era, and the movie studios in India now look pretty much like the movie studios here in Hollywood… So some of that [design] is really imagined. But one of my memories from childhood is that my parents used to take me to a carnival in Calcutta, and I would ride on the Ferris wheel, [which] was made entirely of bamboo that was lashed together… My memory of the bamboo Ferris wheel became sort of my inspiration."
The challenges of working in The Acorn Theatre, where the new work plays, included working with no fly space or automation and limited wing space and depth. "We had to embrace that," said McLane. "[The show] has that kind of handmade quality to it."

We need Charlie Wilson back in Congress working for us because he is one of us. When Wilson was in office he sponsored a bill that would repeal NAFTA, voted against trade deals that sent our jobs overseas and stood up to his own party and voted against the disastrous Cap and Trade bill that would have cost our area jobs. We need Wilson back in Washington working for us because he is one of us and he knows the policies that help create jobs for our local economies.
I was shocked to learn that Congressman Johnson recently voted with President Obama to create trade agreements with Panama, Columbia and South Korea. The Sixth District represents the manufacturing backbone of the Midwest and these types of votes hurt our local economies. When manufacturing is shipped overseas, we all pay the price.
I support Wilson because he believes the only way to build our middle class is through a strong manufacturing sector right here along the Ohio River.
I believe in Wilson because he believes in us.

WACO, Texas - A year ago in Morgantown, West Virginia and Baylor played a game in which the teams combined to ring up almost unprecedented offensive numbers. As an encore in front of the home fans Saturday night, the Bears tried to match those all by themselves.
They came about as close as anyone could expect, too, much to the chagrin of the Mountaineers.
Baylor's offense scored at will and its defense put the clamps on West Virginia to nearly the same degree Saturday night. It all added up to a rather humiliating 73-42 loss by the Mountaineers, just a week after their season appeared to pick up so much steam.
"We just came out here and laid an egg,'' West Virginia safety Darwin Cook said. "Today just wasn't our day.''
What an understatement that is.
How bad was it? Well, it was the most points ever surrendered by West Virginia in the modern era and the second-most ever given up by any Mountaineer team. The only prior opponent ever to score more points was Michigan in a 130-0 win in 1904. Washington & Jefferson's 72 points in a shutout win in 1891 now falls to third on the list.
Before the third quarter had ended, Baylor had broken its own record for total yards by a West Virginia opponent. The Bears set that mark at 700 yards in last year's 70-63 loss in Morgantown, and had 746 Saturday night before the fourth quarter ended.
When all was said and done Baylor had 872 yards, shattering its own school record of 781 set and matched the previous two games this season. The Bears had 617 in the first half alone. They had 476 rushing and 396 passing.
For that there was plenty of blame to go around. Defensive coordinator Keith Patterson wasn't willing to spread it, though.
"Obviously I didn't have them ready to play football,'' Patterson said. "This is a game of emotion. They teams that play with emotion and intensity are the ones that succeed.
"And give Baylor credit, they just physically whipped us.''
And the final score actually made the game seem far closer than it really was. West Virginia trailed 42-7 midway through the second quarter, 56-14 at halftime and 66-21 midway through the third quarter. The Mountaineers added meaningless touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including TD passes by Paul Millard, who mercifully relieved a battered Clint Trickett after the game was out of hand. Those came against Baylor's second team, which played most of the second half.
Darwin Cook also added a score late in the game when he took a lateral from Travis Bell after an interception and returned it for a touchdown and the final points with 3:01 to play.
That late flurry, however, did little to make up for what happened at the outset, which was when Baylor simply ran away and hid, making the game a laugher before the first half was over.

Editor's Note: While Suzanne is recuperating from knee surgery, several In Good Taste readers have agreed to share their food thoughts and experiences.
When it comes to making improvements to rowhouse roofs, most of us grudgingly call a contractor. At Jack's Bistro in Canton, they decided to dial a farmer instead.
Chef Ted Stelzenmuller's year-old rooftop herb garden takes the Eat Local movement a notch higher. It's better than farm-to-table. It's rooftop-to-roasting pan.
Soon, milk crates filled with soil will overflow with chives, scallions, basil, cilantro, oregano, rue and three varieties of thyme. Micro celery and micro amaranth get ready to star in a simply dressed "house salad," while sprigs of rosemary are destined for glory in sous vide steak frites. (Which, unfortunately, does not come from rooftop cattle.)
This isn't your garden-variety nursery either.
These plants might just be Baltimore's most pampered perennials. From their perch atop Jack's roof, they enjoy a waterfront panorama with a view of Fort McHenry. A front row seat for the Fourth of July fireworks. And even a custom-built cabana for some afternoon shade. They're like Kobe beef without the afternoon massage.
It's no wonder they taste so good. Fresh flavor comes from happy herbs.
So, while you're hard at work, toiling in your cubicle, think of the oasis of herbs growing on top of Jack's Bistro. Living a life of luxury. Lazing about on the rooftop, soaking in the sun and watching the tugboats swim laps across the Patapsco.
Don't be jealous. Just clock out, head to Jack's and order the Mango Mojito with freshly muddled rooftop mint. Then sit back and enjoy a taste of relaxation.

Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities Overview >> Tennessee >> Tullahoma Tullahoma, Tennessee
Tullahoma, a small town in south central Tennessee that straddles the line between Coffee and Franklin counties, was originally founded in 1852 as a work camp along the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad. After the privations of the Civil War, the town slowly grew due to its location along the rail lines. The town remained small and isolated until 1939, when a new U.S. highway linked it to Nashville and Chattanooga. World War II was the watershed event in Tullahoma's history. In 1940, only 4,500 people lived in Tullahoma. Once the war began, Camp Forrest was founded just outside town, and became one of the largest army training bases in the country. At the end of the war, 75,000 people lived in Tullahoma. Camp Forrest was closed after the war, and the town lost much of its wartime population, although a number of people remained in the area. In 1951, Arnold Air Force Base was opened on the site.
The Jewish history of Tullahoma is both short and thanks to the preservation of its congregation's minutes, well-documented. It's unclear when the first Jews settled in the area. A few Jewish merchants, like Abraham Segal, lived in nearby Manchester in 1920. Segal had emigrated from Russia in 1904, and owned a dry goods store in Manchester. His two nephews, Harry and David Kavitsky, came to the US in 1914, and lived with Abraham's family in Manchester, working as salesmen in their uncle's store. It's likely that a small number of Jewish merchants lived in the region over the years.
Considering the impact of Camp Forrest and the Arnold Air Force Base on Tullahoma, it's not surprising that after World War II enough Jews had settled in the area to organize a congregation. On a Friday night in November of 1957, 21 Jews from Tullahoma and Manchester met in the home of Sam Goldberg. After holding a Shabbat service, they organized a congregation, which they called Beth El (House of God). They held their next service in the local American Legion Hall. By 1962, they were meeting in a rented room in a local kindergarten, which became the weekly home of Beth El for the next 18 years.
Beth El was small and had limited resources. They never had a full-time rabbi. Sam Goldberg, who had moved to Tullahoma after World War II and owned a retail store, often served as lay leader of the congregation. In 1959, they decided to have each member take a turn leading services "to the best of his ability in Hebrew or English." The congregation did not have a Torah scroll at the time, and purchased a large bible to use during services. Although they did not have a rabbi of their own, they would occasionally bring in rabbis from Nashville or Chattanooga to speak to the group on Jewish topics. In 1962, they organized a religious school, with four classes that met in the homes of the various teachers. But without a trained spiritual leader, the school soon languished, and Beth El's members drove to Nashville or Chattanooga each week to take their kids to religious school. Most of Beth El's members belonged to other congregations in these larger Tennessee cities, and would worship there on the high holidays.
In 1963, the group first discussed the possibility of acquiring a house of worship, although this would prove to be an insurmountable task for a congregation of 14 households. For the next several years, the question of whether to launch a fundraising campaign divided the congregation. In 1965, they started a building fund, but it remained far short of the amount needed to buy or construct a building. In 1973, when Israel was threatened by its neighbors during the Yom Kippur War, Beth El decided to donate the $1000 in its savings to the Israel Emergency Fund.
By then, it was clear that Beth El would remain a small congregation, and that there was no point in trying to acquire a house of worship. In 1978, they had seventeen members, who lived in Tullahoma, Sewanee, Manchester, Shelbyville, Winchester, and Flat Creek. Like other small town synagogues, Beth El was a regional congregation that served Jews in several towns in the area. In 1980, they started meeting in a building owned by the local Catholic diocese.
Although the Tullahoma Jewish community was small, it was very close-knit. The members of Beth El would regularly gather for social events, and the congregation board passed several resolutions honoring the achievements of members' children or grandchildren. By 1984, the congregation held monthly Shabbat dinners before Friday night services. When families left the area, Beth El members would hold going away parties for them. These events became more and more common in the 1980s as the congregation's small membership began to decline.
In September of 1988, there were only two families that belonged to Beth El, and the remaining members decided to dissolve the congregation. As the congregational minutes report, "there had been continual eroding of interest in the last couple of years and financially it could not be continued. Madelaine and Sam Goldberg cleared out the remnants of our property, the china, silver, and kitchen utensils." These items were donated to the Jewish Family Service in Nashville to be given to newly arriving refugees from Russia. They also donated the $1100 in its bank account to Operation Exodus, which helped to resettle Soviet Jews in the US and Israel.
To some, this 31-year history of Congregation Beth El in Tullahoma, Tennessee might appear to be trivial. They never had a synagogue, a rabbi, or even a Torah. And yet, this small group of Jews in south central Tennessee managed to preserve their faith and traditions, while creating a more diverse and tolerant community. At their 25th anniversary celebration, Esther Turesky, a longtime board member, described the importance of Beth El: "We were soon invited to speak to many church groups on our faith and our customs…having a congregation not only provided a service to ourselves, but we won the respect and dignity of our entire community."
