Introduction | Publications | Events Calendar | Peter Roe | Membership | Constitution | Contacts | Smials listing | Smials guide | Other Groups | Donations | Tolkien to the World
In Western Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and most of Eastern Europe the principle works of J R R Tolkien are widely available. The books are stocked (or if not stocked readily available through) most major bookshops either in English and/or translated into the local language. In most of these countries the prices are with in reach of a large proportion of the population. In addition most major public libraries will have copies of at least The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings available for loan, and those that don't will be able to find copies through local inter-library loan systems on request. Especially in the English language areas many school libraries will also hold copies of the books.
However in much of Africa, Asia, South America and the Pacific books for retail sale are very expensive for ordinary people. In addition funds for public libraries are limited and will often be focused on "useful" books or books by local authors. Where libraries have been stocked during colonial times the literature may be concentrated on traditionally classic authors.
The Committee has agreed to set up a programme to provide the principle works of J R R Tolkien to public and school libraries in the less developed world. The aim of the Scheme is "To work towards a situation where everyone in the world has access to Tolkien's principle works of fiction".
There is still some work to be done on the detail of how the scheme will be run, and we are seeking a VOLUNTEER to help with this and to administer the programme. If you are interested in this position please contact us.
Some money will be provided for the scheme from the current funds of the Society, but we will also be seeking donations specifically for this project. More information will be given when we have worked up more of the detail of the programme. In the meantime if you would like to make a donation follow this link.

FDA approach to animal drugs is a balancing act
One certainly gets the feeling that this is a touchy area for FDA, in which, if they did what the law commands or allows them to do, they'd not really accomplish their purpose, and probably make lots of people mad. FDA shows clear signs of being reluctant to remove from the market the many useful and safe animal drugs that lack legal clearance, and instead is asking for ideas about how to approach them, including when to decline to take action.
That decision to decline is actually an important regulatory tool in FDA's arsenal, allowing it, as it says, to help it in "managing limited Agency resources related to compliance activities but...also …for assuring that certain animal drug products remain available." By exercising what it calls its "discretion" and thus refraining from acting when it could, and by actually telling the regulated industry when it will and won't refrain, FDA balances its marching orders from Congress with the needs of the marketplace.
So watch in coming months for more news on how FDA approaches animal drugs and supplements. It's likely to be a combination of action, inaction, and policies.

Tri Axle vs. Tandem Axle
Sorry if this has been covered. I couldn't find the thread.
I am in the market for a gooseneck in the range of 28-32',full 102" wide, and 16-21K rating with the tandem dual axle being something I don't want. Intended uses are to haul two SCSB trucks to various off road parks, haul scrap iron, hay, as well as some "light" and infrequent hauling of farm equipment. I plan on using it at least 8 times a year with 2-4 long hauls. So like the title says, what one would you pull and why? |

Structural MRI detects progressive regional brain atrophy and neuroprotective effects in N171-82Q Huntington's disease mouse model.

Abstract | Huntington's disease (HD) displays progressive striatal atrophy that occurs long before the onset of clinical motor symptoms. As there is no treatment for the disease once overt symptoms appear, it has been suggested that neuroprotective therapy given during this presymptomatic period might slow progression of the disease. This requires biomarkers that can reliably detect early changes and are sensitive to treatment response. In mouse models of HD, structural MRI measures have been shown to detect disease onset. To determine whether such measures could also be suitable biomarkers for following responses to treatment, we used T2-weighted MR imaging combined with automated morphological analyses and characterized changes in regional brain volumes longitudinally in the N171-82Q HD mouse model in a preclinical trial. We report here that N171-82Q HD mice exhibit adult-onset and progressive brain atrophy in the striatum and neocortex as well as in whole brain; the progressive atrophy in striatum and neocortex is positively correlated with motor deficits. Most notably, MRI also detected neuroprotective effects of sertraline treatment, a neuroprotective agent confirmed in our previous studies. Our present studies provide the first evidence that longitudinal structural MRI measures can detect the therapeutic effect in HD mice, suggesting that such measures in brain could be valuable biomarkers in HD clinical trials. |

The recent tragedy at a private farm in Ohio where 48 exotic animals were shot dead has sparked interest and anger around the world. After reading numerous comments and debates, I am prompted to share some information about Bengal Tigers - 18 of which were lost during that fateful day.
Although the Bengal tiger is the most numerous of all tiger subspecies, the total wild population number is estimated to be less than 2500. That is less than the total number of tiger pets in the USA alone. They are being pushed out of their natural habitat by a growing and spreading human population. Increasing human-tiger conflicts often lead to retributive killings. Tigers additionally face a serious threat from the Chinese medicine industry - the main reason for the unrelenting poaching pressure. For example, in 2009 the Panna Tiger Reserve in India lost all of its tigers (24 in total) due to excessive poaching. But what makes them so important? Firstly, they are apex predators (top predators) in their environment. They maintain the balance by keeping herbivore numbers regular. The crucial importance of predators in an ecosystem has been documented many times. A famous example are the wolves in Yellowstone National Park. Secondly, they are amazingly beautiful creatures. Economically speaking, they are great money makers when it comes to tourism. Although there are no official statistics, apparently around 500, 000 tourists visit tiger reserves every year in India alone. These dollars support local communities so a loss of tigers can mean a loss of local income.
What I want is for people to understand what an incredible loss 18 Bengal Tigers is to the planet. The officers who shot the exotic animals, including the tigers, at the private farm were simply doing their job and I do not deny that they were working in some very terrifying and extreme circumstances.
In light of the situation, perhaps the animals deaths will not be in vain. Slack exotic animal ownership laws in the USA have been tolerated for far too long and perhaps this dark cloud will have silver lining. These laws need to change. Wild animals belong in the wild - not only are they needed there for the role they play in their ecosystem, they are a source of income to many local reserves AND they add to an increasingly dwindling gene pool.
Your next step: Sign the petition to ban the sale, ownership and harboring of exotic animals in Ohio.

Ancient bond holds life together, literally
Courtesy of Jean-Philippe Cartailler, Symmation LLC
The rise of multicellular structures in animals may have hinged on a chemical link between sulfur and nitrogen atoms.
In animal tissues and organs, cells lock into a scaffold of collagen proteins that allows the cells to stick together and coordinate activities, such as tissue repair. Sulfur-nitrogen connections called sulfilimine bonds form essential links that keep the protein scaffold together, researchers have now discovered.
In 2009, Billy Hudson of Vanderbilt University in Nashville and colleagues first noted that protein scaffolds in fruit flies have these sulfilimine bonds, but the researchers didn't know if the bonds were common. In a new study, the researchers probed a variety of animal tissues for the sulfur-nitrogen bond and mined genome sequences for the bond's blueprints. The researchers found that sulfilimine bonds evolved more than 500 million years ago and are found across the animal kingdom.
In zebrafish, an organism scientists use to study development, sulfilimine bonds are required for organs to form, Hudson's team reports December 16 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Hudson and his colleagues suggest that these primordial chemical links may have sparked the assembly of single cells into complex animals.

Causes and Investigations of Diarrhea :
Sanjay Prabhu
1. What are the common causes of diarrhoea?
Cholera is seen in epidemics. |
Shigella is the most common cause of dysentery. |
Giardia and Amoebiasis are uncommon causes of acute diarrhoea.
2. Why does diarrhoea cause malnutrition?
Impaired intestinal absorption causes loss of nutrients in diarrhoea. | |
Increased catabolism(waste of energy) due to infection. | |
A child with diarrhoea is often not hungry. | |
Mothers withhold food during diarrhoea. | |
Doctors do not emphasize proper feeding during diarrhoea. |
3. How do you assess a child with diarrhoea?
History | : Stool frequency, quantity and type of stool |
: Blood in the stool | |
: Fever | |
: Decreased passage of urine | |
: Vomiting - pronounced in rotaviral diarrhoea | |
: Abdominal distension | |
: Altered Sensorium | |
: Feeding history | |
Condition |
Well, alert | Restless, irritable | Lethargic, drowsy, floppy |

Severe dehydration |
4. What investigations are helpful?
Stool routine is not of much value as more than 10 leukocytes per HPF are also seen in rotaviral diarrhoea. There is no role of stool pH and reducing substances in acute diarrhoea as the lactose intolerance in this condition is self-limiting. |
Trophozoites of giardia and E Histolytica may be sometimes demonstrated rarely. | |
Stool culture usually grows E coli which may be a commensal. | |
Serum electrolytes may be needed in very dehydrated patients. |

One can agree that in the past a College Education was the road to an increase income and net worth. The GI bill is an excellent example of increased income and increased income tax paid. Is this true today? The curriculum has grown out of control. Students are graduating without the skills needed for today's job market. Curriculum Committees asked how a new course or a new major would assist the student in the job market. But is this true today? Because of the increased income the Colleges and Universities have allowed their curriculum to grow at a rate that is out of control. As compared to the 1960s what percent of the students are enrolled in mathematics, science, and engendering. Prices book titled: Little Science, Big Science showed that at the rate these majors were growing everyone would be either a scientist of engineer today.
I SPENT the day yesterday at the Texas Public Policy Forum's annual orientation for the Texas legislature, culminating in a raucous debate among five of the candidates for Kay Bailey Hutchison's Senate seat (who will be a Republican, as the Democrats have yet to field a serious candidate—good work, guys). It's a conservative state, and a think tank focusing on free markets, so it was a bit of a crash course in what the right is talking about right this moment. Some of their concerns are obvious and longstanding—Obamacare, federal spending, border security—but there are three things I wanted to quickly tip as "trending" issues we should hear more about in 2012.
1) The Endangered Species Act
This is a bit of a perennial, but I'm noticing an uptick in irritated commentary about lizards, salamanders, and little birds. What's going on is that a couple of the vulnerable species slated for review—the dune sagebrush lizard, the lesser prairie chicken—range over large areas of the west where a lot of economic development is anticipated, partly as a result of the rise of unconventional oil and gas. If they are upgraded to "endangered" the impacts on business could be serious. One response from businesses in practice, given that the Endangered Species Act does exist, is to try to anticipate these challenges and accommodate them through habitat-protection efforts. But some advocacy groups want a broader change. "Unlike almost any other law you have, there is no cost-benefit analysis," said Perry Penley, the head of the Mountain States Legal Foundation, saying that in his neck of the woods (Wyoming) the attitude is "shoot, shovel, shut up". The issue isn't as simple as business v environmentalists, though; as I mentioned in this story about the lesser prairie chicken, sometimes the businesses with a species problem are businesses that have positive environmental externalities too.
2) The 17th amendment
The 17th amendment, which was ratified in 1913, allows for direct election of senators rather than letting state legislatures decide who should go to Washington. For some reason, repealing it has become a bit of a cause celebre among the 10th-amendment crowd, because if you allow state legislatures to pick senators, then you're giving state legislatures a stronger voice in Washington. I'm not convinced by this in theory or in practice. A state is defined by its people, not its legislature. And if the value of direct election of senators isn't self-evident, take a moment to think about your state legislature. I do understand why politicians would be interested in the idea: if you're part of a party establishment, or well-connected, repealing the 17th amendment would cut the risk that you'll lose your Senate campaign to some nameless upstart. When the queston was raised during the debate over Ms Hutchison's seat, two candidates who are well-connected (David Dewhurst, the lieutenant governor, and Ted Cruz, formerly the solicitor-general) were interested in the idea, while the two who are somewhat random (Craig James, a former ESPN analyst, and Glenn Addison, a self-described "common man") were opposed. This movement won't get anywhere, and shouldn't, but we'll hear about it here and there.
3) Schools
This one should be longstanding, on both sides of the aisle, but the fact is that it hasn't been. The potential for change comes from the fact that in the past two or three years the recession has laid bare what globalisation, technology, and demographics hath wrought over the past ten. It's become impossible to ignore that America is a young country with a decrepit public-school pipeline and a strained system of higher education (including community colleges), which adds up to a serious challenge to future economic competitiveness, social welfare, and equity—economic competitiveness being a particular concern for the right. There's a lot of debate over what the key priorities should be, and some of the stated goals are in conflict with one another. In Texas, for example, is it more important to allocate resources to communty colleges or to the effort to create more top-tier universities? Still, the political will is coalescing.
Of these three "trending" issues for conservatives, the third is easily the most important—and it's the only one that appeals to Democrats and independents too. At the state level, I expect public schools to be one of the key issues of the next legislative session (in 2013), along with infrastructure and water, both of which are also becoming too big to ignore. The possibilities for federal education initiatives would be challenged by, for example, variations in funding among the states, and by the fact that education hasn't emerged as a major campaign issue for any of the presidential candidates.

De Blasio Takes Fire for Phone Call Placed After Pastor's Arrest
It's the day of his first budget announcement, but much of the spotlight today will instead be focused on Bill de Blasio's controversial decision to reach out to the NYPD following a friend's arrest.
The city's new mayor suddenly finds himself under fire from multiple corners following yesterday's Wall Street Journal report revealing he personally made a call to inquire about Bishop Orlando Findlayter after the pastor was arrested Monday for outstanding warrants. A local police official subsequently–and suspiciously, some say–released Mr. Findlayter. Read More

If the US Government stopped giving oil companies subsidies and imposed the $.10 a year gas tax we could start having sustainable technologies take off on a larger scale in this country.
DAVID BROOKS' latest column has drawn plenty of deserved criticism. It is a "sad green story", in which the American government was making progress to address climate change as of 2003, but then former Vice President Al Gore tried to convince people that global warming was a big deal, leaving Republicans with no choice but to run from the issue. Ezra Klein has a useful take on the political incoherence of the piece. I'd like to focus on this, however:
The biggest blow to green tech has come from the marketplace itself. Fossil fuel technology has advanced more quickly than renewables technology. People used to worry that the world would soon run out of oil, but few worry about that now. Shale gas, meanwhile, has become the current hot, revolutionary fuel of the future...
Global warming is still real. Green technology is still important. Personally, I'd support a carbon tax to give it a boost. But he who lives by the subsidy dies by the subsidy. Government planners should not be betting on what technologies will develop fastest. They should certainly not be betting on individual companies.
A carbon price would be useful. America was very close to getting one during Barack Obama's first term, but the single Republican Senator willing to work on the bill—Lindsay Graham—faced intense pressure from his party to abandon the talks and eventually did. Not long after, Mr Graham was disavowing the science on global warming altogether.
But I wish Mr Brooks would grapple for a moment with the complexities of carbon policy. What does it tell us, for instance, if fossil-fuel technology has advanced more than green technology? Mr Brooks seems to take it as evidence that it was foolish for government to even try to battle the market. Alternatively, it could be interpreted as evidence of just how inadequate a carbon-price-only strategy is likely to be, given the scale advantages enjoyed by fossil fuel industries.
A recent paper by Daron Acemoglu, Phillippe Aghion, Leonardo Bursztyn, and David Hemous makes precisely this point. Fossil fuel research can build on a much larger body of knowledge than green research, and the returns to innovation in fossil fuel industries, given their enormous size, are incredibly vast. Based on these scale advantages, we would expect to see much more innovation—and production—from fossil fuel producers as opposed to green-energy producers for a given change in the price of fossil fuel energy. Unless, of course, the state provides an R&D subsidy to offset this disadvantage.
In the presence of market failure, government inaction is a bet on a certain set of technologies and industries. The important question is not whether the government should favour one industry or another; it's whether the net effect of its favouritism is the most welfare enhancing.

5 Ways You Can Buy Happiness (Really!)
By Dr. Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener
Researchers have spent decades examining the big question of whether money buys happiness. Studies from huge international surveys, including interviews with villagers in India and samples of Americans from all walks of life, point to the same conclusion: Money is, indeed, a small but important contributor to happiness. One way you can derive happiness dividends from your dollars is by making sure you spend your discretionary money—even in small amounts—in ways that are more likely to produce a sense of well-being.

Avalon Organics Renewal Facial Serum Lavender -- 1 fl oz
First one I've bought a repeat of!
I'm in the over 40 group, but my skin will still occasionally break out. Most other serums were too pimple promoting for me to enjoy the benefits. This lavender serum is such a relief and I love it. It's light and smooth, and sinks into skin like my skin is thirsty for it. My skin really does look younger- fresh, dewy, and clear! My face feels soft and supple, looks smooth and velvety. The fragrance is very light and mild. I just ordered my 3rd bottle, and that's a first for me!!
May 31, 2013
Very Good
This is much better than the Vitamin C Renewal cream. That was just too heavy. I do use it sometimes though if my skin is feeling dry, rough or if I get a sunburn. I use this particular product daily and have been for about over a week now. It really maks my skin soft and luminous like it says, and it helps soften the lines in my forehead.
October 24, 2012
My favorite face lotion.
This lotion absorbs well into the skin and feels so refreshing, too.
September 17, 2012
Very Good Product
I really like this alot, I have very sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate at all. I think it has helped lessen the redness in my face also. I will continue to buy and use this.

I like this product. It smooths and softens my skin without being greasy or heavy.

Youth And Folly
YOUTH AND FOLLY by ROBERT GRAVES
('Life is a very awful thing! You young fellows are too busy being jolly to realize the folly of your lives.' ---A Charterhouse Sermon)
In Chapel often when I bawl
The hymns, to show I'm musical,
With bright eye and cheery voice
Bidding Christian folk rejoice,
Shame be it said, I've not a thought
Of the One Being whom I ought
To worship: with unwitting roar
Other godheads I adore.
I celebrate the Gods of Mirth
And Love and Youth and Springing Earth,
Bacchus, beautiful, divine,
Gulping down his heady wine,
Dear Pan piping in his hollow,
Fiery-headed King Apollo
And rugged Atlas all aloof
Holding up the purple roof.
I have often felt and sung,
'It's a good thing to be young:
Though the preacher says it's folly,
Is it foolish to be jolly?'
I have often prayed in fear,
'Let me never grow austere;
Let me never think, I pray,
Too much about Judgment Day; Never, never feel in Spring, Life's a very awful thing!' Then I realize and start
And curse my arrogant young heart, Bind it over to confess
Its horrible ungodliness,
Set myself penances, and sigh That I was born in sin, and try
To find the whole world vanity.

HELP!! Emails have disappeared from the hub
I was deleting some emails this morning, not really paying attention to what I was doing.
I noticed at one point I got a message about "This cannot be Undone" pfr something like that (as I say, I wasn't paying attention)
Anyway, now all my email accounts no longer show in the hub. I've tried playing with the hub management settings, I've reset the hub and my phone. I've deleted both email accounts and reinstalled them.
Anyone have a any idea what the he'll I've done?!?
Just to clarify, both my email accounts do show in the hub, but no emails are showing in there.
EDIT: Twitter and Facebook Are also mot showing. They're all on the left menu but say "No entries in this view " when you filter down to them

Daite Daite Daite Darling Manga
From Emi at piffleprincess.com This time the heroine is Yuuka FUJITA. As far as I can tell, she is 18 years old, and a high school graduate. However she has not gone on to college like her high school classmates. Instead, her parents are trying to marry her off, sending her to way too many omiai meetings. An omiai is like a formal introduction between a man and woman who are taking part in an arranged marriage. This story begins with Yuuka refusing to go to another omiai. In her anger and haste, she literally knocks down her latest potential marriage partner. He is a really cool guy! His name is Ryo KUSURU, and he is a college science professor. He is a whopping 36 years old! Their omiai meeting goes well enough (it isn't a total disaster) however it doesn't look like much is settled at their first meeting. They need to get to know each other better. She does think Ryo is very handsome, despite his being an 'old man.' Ryo seems to like Yuuka well enough also, even though she is so much younger than himself. Meanwhile, Yuuka's parents keep sending her to more omiais with more men. Will she choose Ryo? Can two strangers make a happy couple? Will Yuuka's past be too much of a stumbling block for them?

MovietalkiesShow Thumbnails
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar India, Jacqueline said, "I love the line-up of movies that I have had. When you go from 'Aladin' to 'Murder 2' to 'Housefull 2' to 'Race 2', it's a range of genres and characters. As an actor you always look out for a different role, whether it be a princess or a vixen. To play the girl-next-door every time gets boring. In 'Race 2', my character is slightly negative which gives me so much more to do. The film has lots of action which I love."

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut lawmakers are scheduled to hear testimony on the last of three bills attempting to limit the release of personal information from death certificates to the public.
All three bills stem from the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
The third bill, favored by Newtown Town Clerk Debbie Aurelia, would make sure personal identifying information is not included on death certificates when requested by members of the public not associated with the family, the funeral home making arrangements or the deceased parents.
It will be the subject of a public hearing before the legislature's Public Health Committee on Wednesday.
But unlike the other two bills, which address death certificates, this bill would also apply to marriage certificates.
Both open records advocates and genealogists oppose the bills.

Throwing In The Towel
This leads to some meaty theoretical stuff and I certainly don't have all the answers. By now you should have figured out whether you think 40-50% down will be about it or more like 80% is it (just picking two extremes you can think of it however you want).
I said weeks ago that if you really thought this was the great depression coming at us again you should sell. That probably sill stands up now. If you do not think down 80% is in the cards then selling now would simply be selling low, very low.
Anyone reading this site for a while knows I do not think this will be a depression, I think the bottom is about in in terms of price but that we will have several more months of running up and down in roughly the same range we have been in recently.
If that pans out as I think then it will be a long time before we start to feel good about stocks. Individual issues could continue to get pasted even if the market doesn't do anything very different for a while.
That brings up a useful distinction; "what should investors be doing now?" Any buying someone might be inclined to do now can try to do one of two things (talking about long term investors not traders) either buy stocks that you think will work now or buy stocks that you think reposition for whenever the turn up finally occurs.
Buying the stocks that should work now is likely not the way to go because really what is working now (this gets at the heart of top down)? Pretty much nothing is working now. Buying something now as a place to hide out is the wrong strategy. When the market turns just about everything still standing will work as was the case in 2003. In that light it makes more sense to to point any buying you are inclined to do toward the recovery even if that is a couple of years from now.
This is not a call to buy them with both hands, I am not doing that. I disclosed having done a little buying and having plenty of cash still. The names I've bought are places I expect to lead a recovery or otherwise snap back quickly.
This idea concedes that a recovery could still be a long way off but going overweight health, telecom and staples now seems late in the game. I've been overweight those areas for a while and generally it has been right, relatively, but now that we are down 45% from the peak I'd say it's too late to overweight those areas.

Interesting comments. However, to me the talk of when and where the "bottom" will be is just nonsense and a waste of time. No one can predict that and I am not suggesting that you are trying to do so.
As this mess unfolds, I am really impressed by writings of Hussman and Grantham who can rationally show why the market is behaving the way it is and expectations for the future based on rigorous analysis. Both writers show that the SP is fairly valued around 975 but that undershooting that level by 30-40% shound not be unexpected as history has shown that is normal. Reversion to the mean trendline is ultimately what should be expected.
For investors, the value of stocks is a claim on the future long term earnings. Short term earnings are almost irrelavent. Does anyone remember present value analysis? Isn't that how bonds are rationally priced? Why shouldn't it apply to stocks? - 6:35 AM

As an income investor, I'd add a third alternative to your post, Roger. This is a great time to add some beaten down, dividend payers to augment one's income stream. Many of the quality picks are in the sectors that you suggest are too late to overweight. Total return is fine for some investors, but it implies a discipline to time some sales that lock in gains. I'd rather lock in an income stream, at a low price, and watch the dividend payouts grow faster than inflation.

I like some of the corporate bond market with YTM of less than a year and 10% YTM on investment grade. Of course, who knows what investment grade is these days.

I would like to add that if u think there will be a 2003 scenario when they will all go up, why not buy indexes? Why take a chance that a specific company that could go go belly up? If you buy the index, u are guaranteed to profit when things turn around, if you buy a stock, well who knows??

anon 6:35, rationally? sure why not but the current events seem a little short on ration.

Does anyone know what Hussman's Price/Peak Earnings ratio is currently at versus waht it was at when this downturn started (i.e., 10/1/07ish)? I have read that he thinks stocks are undervalued at current levels. Were they overvalued at DOW 14,000? Not necessarily by traditional metrics.

Jim Rogers has an interesting interview from the other day where he stuck to the same recommendations in his books for China and commodities. He was saying that selling China in 2008 would be like selling America in 1908, and that eventually the new middle classes in Latin America, Asia, India, and so on, will buy more and that will raise commodities prices.
I wonder if that's a better idea going forward for a long time horizon, if you can tolerate the short-term losses, than buying the US. - 2:16 PM

What do you think of buying the short ETF (SH or SDS) while it is above the 200 day moving average and then switch to long ETF (SPY) when that is above the 200 day moving average. I looked at prior charts and it seems to consistently outperform. It can't be that easy can it? What do you all think?

I am beginning to get back in the market. This is the time to buy long term imho. I luckily cashed out all my portfolios last year near the top. I deployed the first 150k on Monday and will deploy an equal amount every month up until April. I sense fear everywhere and now may be the best opportunity to invest for the next decade.

3:37 p.m. I agree. But many have have had this same exact feeling when the market was down 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, etc. At some point it with be THE time. Few will know when until after the fact. Either you draw your line in sand and take your stance now or dollar cost average into it while if not THE low atleast A low. Certainly would not be buying at highs now. Or wait for a sufficiently convincing rebound such as 3:27 p.m. 200 DMA approach would suggest. Waiting for the 200 DMA would miss some of the rebound but also miss all these mini bear market rallys too.

This is exactly why ALL of you are traders and NOT investors -"expectations for the future based on rigorous analysis"
Ha Ha Ha, predict the future based on "rigorous analysis"
Then there are those that predict the future based on gut feel, trends, statistics, blah blah,
None of you yet know anything about investing, including you Roger!
Perhaps I should be writing this blog?
What is going on is a re-design of the financial system. Yes that means the old system has COMPLETELY FAILED.
Everything you learned in your MBA schools is not worthless as it no longer applies (never did actually).
Modern Portfolio Theory is now 20th Century Portfolio Theory. LOL
I'm still waiting for Roger to post something about INVESTING. - 4:44 PM

This is 6:35. Its obvious you guys have been sheltered from volatility. In my line of work, farming, wild price swings are the norm and nothing to get worked up over. The key is diversification and risk management. Investing is no different. That's one reason Ben Graham says almost everyone should be a defensive investor and maintain a 50/50 allocation. Some can tolerate underweighting in stocks when prices are high and over weighting when prices are low, but never lower than 25/75 or higher than 75/25.
Maybe farmers are better suited as investors because they normally are patient, have long time horizons, and can stomach volatility.
Anon 4:44 tell me what is wrong with buy low, sell high? Isn't that what investing is all about? Can't see how that has changed or will change in the future, or does our comrad have something different in mind? - 6:48 PM

200DMA works. Look at any long term chart on Yahoo. If you buy SH or SPY when they are above their respective 200 DMA and sell when below you outperform the market (which these days is not saying much).
For example, SDS was about 55 in Jan (a buy as it went above 200 DMA). May to June you would be out of SDS (below 200 DMA) Then back in to date where SDS is now 101! Seems to work to me. As for SPY looks like it was below 200DMA so your out of spy while your neighbor cries. Am I reading the charts wrong? Does seem too good to be true.
Since this current market has been in the tank (about last 1.5 years) SPY has almost always been below 200DMA. The rule would have saved you from bad losses. On top of that, instead of sitting in cash during this time period, had you been in the inverse SH or SDS for that same time except for about 3 or 4 months (while SDS was below its 200 DMA) you would have done great. Try any SPY or SH stock chart 3 months or more on yahoo and then overlap the 200DMA except for some few short periods you gain. - 6:49 PM

The 200 dma can spare the trader/investor -- unless time horizon has some significant meaning there is no substantive difference -- from some serious losses but it is not a very good estimator of updrafts, for that you need some sense of market valuation; e.g, what is the current price for a given probability of achieving satisfactory returns (territory every value investor knows).
Double long and double short funds allow an investor to be 100% long or 100% short and still retain 50% cash which is nice (some of us have noticed) but there are a few technical and fundamental reasons to suspect it is unlikely to last and could even seriously blow up so ...have fun but be ready to run; i.e, careful with position size and, if you can't watch the screen regularly, use trailing stops.

Hello Roger, I am sending this comment from a remote island in the Andaman sea, which I won't name, for fear of other people discovering it. If you climb a forested mountain to a clearing on top there is cell phone access and a guy down the beach has set up satellite internet using solar power.
One of the benefits of being here is I cannot check portfolio often nor take any action which in my case has been wrong in the past year. But I've been able to check weekly as well as read David Fry's column to see what's happening, Bespoke for trends, and this blog for advice and sentiment.
I was a bit alarmed to read a column on seekingAlpha about the possible demise of GE, which I am stubbornly holding. Wouldn't that be cataclysmic for the Dow?
Second thought, most investors that track their holdings have been scared out of the market, now this seems to be a phase where a lot of traders need to be flushed out, perhaps permanently.
Looking at the 10 year charts is breathtaking. I have been in the market since 99 and fortunately never really believed in buy & hold. I am < 10% invested now and plan to average back in to 50% over the next several months. EEM & FXI are on my list for better or for worse. I am also interested in HSGFX (Hussman's fund) as something actively managed, but wondering how quickly this vehicle can move from bearish to bullish bias, in the case of a big move to the upside.
thanks Jim - 9:02 PM

Thanks again for the regular blogging Roger. I hope you gain as much satisfaction from it as do your regular readers, myself included. To bring a sense of balance and focus to an investing environment which clearly lacks both gives me the satisfaction that although I've lost some money (on paper) recently I'm gaining the insight and perspective from a guy who's been there and done that in a company/occupation I never will have exposure to.
Now I've put the pom poms back in the drawer is there any sector/country you think now looks unbearable or at the least significantly overvalued compared to others? Are there any more dogs out there ready to bite, shoes ready to drop or economies ready to implode or are we done with that already and it's clean up time? After the reduction of big-ticket sales will white goods be next? - 3:51 AM

Invest for the long term, that will be what I intend to do. Short term trading is too dangerous. Banking will be a sector that rebounds very strongly.

Orientalist Feminism Rears its Head in India
The brutal rape and murder of a young medical student in Delhi by a gang of young men, followed closely by the suicide of a Delhi rape victim who was pressured into marrying her rapist by police, has provoked international criticism of the Indian government and widespread protests across India by a diverse strata of Indian society. In the melee of protests with the government, the Indian state has used tear gas and live ammunition, killing a reporter. ...

Both the question and the article are riddled with faulty assumptions and ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development today, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Administrator Thomas D'Agostino outlined President Obama's FY 2013 budget request, which gives NNSA the resources it needs to achieve the President's nuclear security objectives, shape the future of nuclear security, and continuously improve the way it does business.
Administrator D'Agostino was joined by Dr. Don Cook, NNSA Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs, and Brig. Gen. Sandra E. Finan (USAF), Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator for Military Application. Submitted to Congress earlier this month, the President's request includes $11.5 billion for NNSA, an increase of $536 million over the FY12 appropriation. It includes $7.58 billion for NNSA's defense programs, $2.46 billion for its nuclear nonproliferation program and $1.1 billion for NNSA's naval reactors program.
The following are excerpts of Administrator D'Agostino's opening remarks as prepared for delivery during this morning's hearing. Full opening remarks are available online here [1].
- ON THE PRESIDENT'S FY2013 BUDGET REQUEST: "In April 2009 in Prague, President Obama shared his vision for a world free from the threat of nuclear terrorism and united in our approach to our shared nuclear security goals. His FY13 request for NNSA is $11.5 billion, an increase of $536 million over the FY12 appropriation. The request reaffirms our commitment to building a 21st century nuclear security enterprise through innovative approaches to some of our greatest nuclear security challenges and key investments in our infrastructure."
- ON THE BUDGET CLIMATE: "As you know, due in part to the constraints established by the Budget Control Act, this is a time of fiscal austerity. I want to assure you that NNSA is being thoughtful, pragmatic, and efficient in how we achieve the President's nuclear security objectives and shape the future of nuclear security. We've continuously improved the way we operate, and we're committed to doing our part in this constrained budget environment."
- ON NNSA'S TOOLS AND CAPABILITIES: "For over a decade, we have been building the tools and capabilities needed to take care of the stockpile. We are now entering a time when NNSA will fully utilize these analytical tools and capabilities towards the mission of maintaining a safe, secure, and effective stockpile and performing the necessary life extension work. These capabilities also provide the critical base for nonproliferation and counter-terrorism work, allowing us to apply our investments to the full scope of our mission."
- ON NNSA'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: "To support our stockpile and provide us with the world-class capabilities, we need to modernize our Cold War-era facilities and maintain the Nation's expertise in uranium processing and plutonium research. This budget includes $2.24 billion to maintain our infrastructure, and execute our construction projects."
- ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AT NNSA: "We are improving everywhere, from our governance model to our network infrastructure, from our contracting processes to leadership and development programs. We are improving business processes by implementing the ISO 9001 standard, looking toward the future through a workforce analysis, and improving efficiency through consolidated contracts."
Follow NNSA News on our Blog [2] and on Facebook [3], Twitter [4], YouTube [5], and Flickr [6].
Established by Congress in 2000, NNSA is a semi-autonomous agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, reliability and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing; works to reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Without a doubt, my participation in international moot court has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my law school career...this summer during my summer associate position, I was one of the only people at the firm who had extensively studied the International Bar Association Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration. As a result, I got to the opportunity to work on one of the only international cases we had in the office. Indeed, this introduction to international commercial arbitration could very well define the rest of my legal career. Read More of Blanca's Testimonial.

Is religion a source of conflict in society? Sometimes, it is. Yet there are many instances in which people's faith commitments produce a stronger civil society, a greater degree of authentic tolerance, and a more refined attachment to moral principles.
Why, then, does religion sometimes have a disruptive effect on culture and society? Obviously, dogmatic and doctrinal differences are not light matters. The real differences between believers (and nonbelievers) translate into argument and debate. That's not a bad thing, and it's precisely why we need tolerance: not because we have to agree about everything, but precisely because of our disagreements.
Another complication, however, flows from the state's involvement in religious matters. Religious differences become magnified when the state starts making its own claims about religious truth, or asserts a right to adjudicate doctrinal differences. The situation is worsened when politicians choose to exploit religious differences in order to pursue and realize their own goals, or decide that, in the name of tolerance, the state must seek to exclude all religiously-informed contributions to the public square. Such is the soft authoritarianism with which believers in much of Western Europe and America are confronted today.
One of the American Experiment's universal gifts to the world is its attempt to create circumstances in which believers of different faiths and confessions can, alongside non-believers, co-exist peacefully and live out their significant differences on a host of issues. It hasn't always been easy, and it requires a common commitment to a belief in reason and natural law, but it has worked very well for most of America's history. The key to the success has been identifying and minimizing the impact of those forces that enable differences to be converted into overt hostility.
An overly politicized society is one of those forces. Reducing the influence of politics to its proper sphere, instead of seeing it as the answer to everything, is part of what the Acton Institute is about: to make society a safe place for the exercise of strong faith. Thank you for your support of our work.
Sincerely, Rev. Robert A. Sirico, President

Ingredient of the week: Pork loin
on October 27, 2012 @ 1:14 pm (Updated: 8:42 am - 10/28/12 )The Seattle Kitchen Show staff often talk about complex recipes, but this week they focused on a simple way to cook great pork loin.
"It's the leaner cuts that we're used to in today's world that pork loin is really hard to cook," says Seattle Kitchen Show host Tom Douglas. "And it's the number one complaint I get from people: "I can't make a moist pork chop!"
The biggest mistake is that people overcook the pork, which is easy to do with such a lean meat.
"Well, if you take the fat out of pork, you basically have taken a lot of stuff out of the pork because the fat is what gives it a lot of flavor," says co-host Thierry Rautureau.
Thierry's solution is to take the whole loin and stuff it with garlic and spices. To cook Thierry's moist pork loin, sear it in browned butter, roast it the rest of the way in an oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes and then turn the oven down to 250 degrees until the center gets to 135 degrees.
"You need to make sure that it rests when it comes out of the oven, it's going to be at 138," says Thierry.
Katie O notes that, although your pork will be done after resting for 20 minutes, the center might be pink. The consensus, though, is that the pink color is fine to eat.
"A lot of people are pretty squeamish about it," says Katie.
After letting the meat rest, Thierry says to slice it in thin pieces and put it back in the oven at 250 degrees to warm it up. It won't dry out the pork, but it will warm up the meat so it is delicious and ready to serve.
"That takes away my ability to be the manly-man and carve at the table," says Tom.
