Barry's Baker's Dozen
First let me say that the utility from this sort of post from someone who clearly knows and understands more than the average guy is very beneficial. Why Billy Mays you ask? No reason at all.
The first one is Simple is Better Than Complex. Trying to keep things simple is one of the major themes for my site and strategy. Simple means different things to different people. For some it might mean three index funds and for some others it might mean 100 stocks.
My starting point is a diversified portfolio with no big bets and no black box concepts that rely on what should work. I tend to agree with whoever said (I think it was Peter Lynch) that you should be able explain the thesis for what you own to a child, or words to that effect. Sounds good to me.
P/E matters less than you think. Amen. This is a point I have been making for a while (here is one post from a year and a half ago). I tend to fall in to the camp that says P/Es help with valuation but are not predictive. Stocks can stay cheap or expensive for years, check out a long term chart of Walmart as an example of this.
Nothing is more costly than chasing yield. Adding yield to a portfolio is not chasing yield. I think of chasing yield, for example, as adding 15-20% into the royalty trusts because of the yield. "If they drop 10 or 15% it'll be ok because of the yield." A year ago they got crushed on news of tax changes. The person who owned one at a moderate weight had a bad day or two, the person with 20% of his portfolio in them may have undone more than a year's worth of gains. Check out PWE and PGH as examples.
Risk management matters. Hello! It might be correct to say I have bludgeoned readers over the head with this point in 2007. Barry's meaning might be a tad more trading oriented than mine but whatever you do in your portfolio you take some sort of risk--that is to say you are vulnerable to certain things. Know what you are exposed to, have something planned out ahead of time to address that risk and then stick to it.
Good stuff Barry, thanks.
Did I hear correctly that service jobs in the ADP report was up 71,000? Anyone know if they breakout seasonal hires at retail stores from that number?

Sorry to sound bitter, but the only joy that I'll take from the jobs report is when layoffs at the big finanacial firms hit. Of course, their well-padded bonuses will cushion the blow for them.
- Stephen Drone said...
In the real world, the employees who get fat performance bonuses aren't the ones who get laid off.
- Roger Nusbaum said...
having been laid off once (in 2001) i believe the reasons can be much more sinister than fat bonuses.
however it was the best thing that, professionally, that has ever happened to me. - 7:13 AM

Speaking of risk-adjusted returns, for the past 1,3 and 5 years, the non-US index(VGTSX for example) has better Sharpe ratios than US index(VFINX). 1.45, 1.53 and 1.62 for VGTSX vs 0.31, 0.71,0.91 for VFINX. Returns for the past 1, 3 and 5 years for VGTSX are 15, 19 and 23%, respectively. Therefore, both from risk-adjusted returns and absolute returns, VGTSX beats VFINX. Of course, you can get pretty decent returns if you are overweighing commodity or gold or good at trading stocks. For indexers or non-indexers, selecting a core portfolio based on risk-adjusted broad based index seems to be an excellent starting point.

in a period where foreign has beaten domestic, I'm not sure that simply declaring the total world better is the right idea.
as was left in the comments last night there will be periods where US does better.
that over the last 1,3 and 5 years yada yada...that does not look forward. risk adjusted stats are an important piece of the puzzle, yes, but where they are going is more important than where they have been. - 7:27 AM

Roger, your comment on the importance of looking forward is fair. This is why we use moving averages to calibrate if the past trend has changed. For example, we take progressively more defensive postions if S&P 500 dips below its 200-day moving average.
In the case of VGTSX vs VFINX, both the daily and monthly charts suggest the advantage of VGTSX will continue. Of course, if the trend reverses, some of the bets will be taken off the table. Is this called TAA?

KEMBLE—As a daughter of Bruce County, I am an expert on storm survival. At fifteen I wore khaki shorts and Bass Weejuns without socks when the snow drifts were thigh-high just to show winter what for.
A storm is on the way so I am preparing.
Up until this week I wasn't sure, but now I am. Reality is disintegrating. First Bell got a free pass on throttling internet data and now Twitter has turned off SMS for Canadians.
The mayor of Toronto, David Miller, and a bunch of his fellow droners tossed up a utopian smokescreen by holding a two day Web2.0 conference. Use of the term 'civic engagement' was so wanton and reckless that they effectively drained all meaning from it.
The last straw came this morning when I realized my new unibody Macbook Pro does not get as hot as my previous model and so now I can no longer use it to warm my feet as I drift off to sleep at night.
Plus there's all that economic depression (which I predicted) and Prime Minister Steven Harper wrangling. Not to mention a sensational new grab bag of reasons to get horrified and feel historically distinct from brown people by gossiping about their violence and pretending we've got nothing to do with causing it. (aka Mumbai)
So what's a country girl to do?
I'm breaking out my shorts and penny loafers.
Time to buy stock with enthusiasm and go house hunting for dives. I'm making a pipe of the tweets I want sent to my free email-to-SMS phone address thus subverting Twitter's SMS pull-out. I'm emailing my ISP each time my Skype chat is throttled down to an echo-chamber. I'm running Photoshop and Final Cut Pro just before bed to really heat up the processors in my Mac.
And, most important, I've elected Roky Erickson as my Mayor and Prime Minister – or rather my interpreter now for the oh-so-distant spectral realm of Canadian professional politician. As Roky has explained to me:
We can for a long time talk and talk but no matter how long we may talk,
We are not talking.
In this conclusion of the Four-Colour Words interview with What It Is author Lynda Barry, the novelist/cartoonist/teacher/guru talks about the ins and outs of her writing classes, worries about the editing process, wonders about where characters and creepy pictures come from, and gushes about how awesome comics are.
* * *
Have you thought of doing drawing classes the same way that you do your writing classes?
I have, if I could find a way to do it. I said to the audience [at her book festival talk], "Think of your first phone number," and for most people it'll come spontaneously and then they have a feeling about it. That's what I'm trying to have happen when you write—unexpected memory. The memory is so strong that you write about it without thinking about your writing, just like people said their numbers out loud but nobody was going, "Now, did I use the right voice when I said that?" You know what I mean? It just happened. So with writing, I can demonstrate much more easily and privately that state of mind that I'm talking about. What I do in my class is, I have them start with unexpected memories and then by the end of the two days we're writing fiction. Once they're used to how that feels I pass out envelopes that have pictures in them, like from National Geographic, and they'll be somebody in a flood, or somebody running from a house on fire, or somebody just sitting there smoking a cigarette. But the students are so used to it that I can say, "All I can tell you about this picture is either you're in it, or this is what you're seeing," and I ask them to go through the exact same exercise we do when we're writing from actual memories. What's amazing is how seamlessly they're able to get into it. With drawing, I haven't yet quite figured out how to do that same thing—to make people able to instantly make spontaneous images. (more…)
PARIS—One year ago, when The Walrus accidentally gave me permission to write about the wide world of sports on their website, I announced a set of goals for the upcoming season.
Now, every good sports writer knows that revisiting one's archived opinions and predictions is the recipe for a healthy serving of humble pie, with a generous scoop of regret-flavoured ice cream. It's trouble, is what reflection is (who was it that picked the 63-99 Padres to win the Series? Oh, right). (more…)
Sanpei Shirato's Ninja Bugeicho, one of the foundational texts in Japanese comics history (or so we're told), is available to English-speaking audiences only in a rarely screened film version directed by Nagisa Oshima. The movie approximates the books fairly closely—each shot is a panel from the original art, with actors reading the dialogue—but the experience is still kind of like what would happen if, say, we were only able to know about Peanuts by listening to Vince Guaraldi's Christmas album. Yeah, it's a great record, and this is a fine film, but the gaping absence of that original material can't help but leave me a little bit flummoxed.
Part of my bewilderment probably results from the movie not making much sense in the first place, though to its credit it's often that brand of not-making-sense that is, at times, euphoric, or at least wtf-rrific. It tells the story of Jutaro, a young samurai who vows to avenge his slain father, a lord during Japan's "age of turbulence" in the 16th century. He meets Kagemura, a mysterious ninja who leads a clan of other mysterious ninja whom he's encountered in dire straits, much as he's done Jutaro. These include the tortoise man, the triplets, and the electric man, "who kills people through the intermediation of water." (more…)
PARIS—Let's get one thing straight here: there's nothing wrong with kissing your sister. In fact, I've frequently found your sister to be a pretty quality smoocher, on the whole.
Likewise, I have no ideological problem with ties in sports. Sometimes the old "kissing your sister," as they call it, is a perfectly satisfactory result for two teams, when neither can produce a particularly convincing argument for victory.
Of course, not all ties are created equal. France's national football team finished off a dismal 2008 campaign with a 0-0 tie on Wednesday night, in a friendly against Uruguay. The match was so dull and devoid of good chances that I turned it off after 70 minutes. (more…)
This time of year in Bhutan is chili-drying season: nearly every house we pass has bright red chili peppers drying on their tin roofs, or hanging from their windows. I am traveling by road out of Bhutan towards India. The gravel road hugs steep mountains, and is just big enough for two cars to inch past each other at a slow crawl. No guardrail. This is the main avenue for goods from India and beyond to flow in — the tiny plastic cars and cartons of Appy fruit juice available for sale in the capital come up this difficult track.
We stop for granite boulders to be cleared from the road. This road is being widened with the help of the Indian government and legions of Indian workers, who seem to be widening the road largely by hand, pounding the stones into smaller stones. Young women work chipping away the mountain, with babies tied to their backs, sarees covered in white dust. I watch faces: an old man's weathered face gazes back from the edge of the "Strong and High Bridge." Children drag bamboo poles several meters long to who-knows-where, their faces turned towards the ground. The young Bhutanese guy I am traveling with slides his mix CD into the car's player. It's the Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Californication." Another old man drags a yoke for his oxen along behind him through his harvested rice field, the wood of the yoke curved and weathered by perhaps centuries of use. Tidal wave won't save the world from Californication. (more…)
I'm Jesuspenis and I'm taking over for Chantelle today because she is sucky and heartbroken still. Grrrr.*

How do you patent indigenous knowledge? Most pharmaceutical companies have stopped trying.
It's easy to think of indigenous tribes as backwards and ignorant, but they know a lot of amazing things that we don't. Instead of English Lit or Poli Sci, they get fast-tracked into a far more challenging major: How To Thrive In The World's Most Savage Environments. The producers of Survivor ought to add a local to the next series — they'd win every immunity challenge, clean the Westerners' collective clocks, and probably still gain some weight while they were at it.
In my travels I've seen an Australian aborigine, a Peruvian Amazon guide, and a Ugandan translator casually demonstrate that where I saw blank and forbidding jungle, they saw a hardware store, arsenal, pantry and pharmacy. Need some soap, or disinfectant, or poison, or polish, or a snack? Mother Nature can and will provide.
So: on one side of the rich-poor divide, you have a small and diminishing group of tribes who happen to be the last repository of thousands of years of collective botanical research. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies around the world are on a relentless hunt for biologically active compounds they can turn into lucrative drugs. Should be a match made in heaven, right? I wish.

Exam testing informs every aspect of life in South Korea, and it doesn't stop even after you've finished university
Last Thursday was test day in South Korea. Traffic stopped. Airplane schedules were altered. The military was told to shut up. The best rice cakes in the land were distributed, consumed, and most likely thrown up in anxiety. For nine hours, the universe froze.
The most stressful test of my life was my fourth-year university Anglo-Saxon exam, which required me to translate a chunk of the original text of Beowulf, and for which I studied hard for maybe three days. The stress stemmed primarily from my desire to protect my ego by way of my final average; ultimately, the exam meant nothing.
In South Korea, tests determine the outcome of every major event in your life, and the nationwide university entrance exam (officially, the "College Scholastic Ability Test"), which takes place annually on the third Thursday in November, is the mother of all tests — the doorway through which kids must pass to transform from mute, bespectacled children whose personality is subsumed by their identical school uniforms into burgeoning adults who can wear and drink and study what they want.

Microsoft's Live.com just relaunched as a social network. It was very easy, all they had to do was copy Friendfeed badly.
Commenter Edwin Khodabakchian summed it up when he wrote: Interesting move. At least they are trying.
But Live.com's reinvention has given me a great idea! What if I took my favourite animal – the goat – and relaunched them as a social network. After all, if Microsoft can do it with it's dead fish Live.com then curious, rectangular-pupiled goats are a shoe-in.
From farming goats I learned that they are natural aggregators. They collect everything they see with their mouths, with no discrimination. On the other hand, for four years Live.com has aggregated nothing. So this feature would be much easier to implement with goats.
Goats are extremely useful and efficient machines. As revealed in this Wired video, goats can clear land quickly and without pollution. They even have tidy droppings. Live.com is a useless and inefficient machine because it does nothing and no one uses it. Microsoft in general has built it's reputation entirely around it's aggravating messy shit. Once again goats win out.
Finally, if worse comes to worse, you can eat a goat. An edible social network could really take over the world, I should think. And just now I tried to eat Live.com and nearly puked. If it weren't for the new rounded corners on the unibody Macbook Pro I would have.
Final socialnet probability tally: Goats=100, Live.com=0.
Prove to me that goats aren't by far the better choice to be relaunched as a social network. Go ahead – I dare you!
The purpose of this blog is to allow me to do what I enjoy doing more than anything else in the world. Let me describe it briefly for you.
I take popular culture — both past and present forms — and use it as a lens through which to contextualize electronic communication technologies (ECTs) within a framework of race, class and gender analysis.
So why the hell do I enjoy this so much? (more…)

Chesapeake Fire Chief P.J. Johnson was arrested Wednesday on a bad check warrant, according to documents on file in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
In October 2008, according to court records, Johnson allegedly used the fire department's account to write a $4,549 check to Milton Sales Inc. of Rand for raffle supplies. The check was later returned for insufficient funds.
The businesses' owners went to magistrate court in March to force Johnson to make good on the check. A warrant for Johnson's arrest was issued on May 1.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A man who State Police say had nearly 300 marijuana plants in his basement was in jail Monday.
Sgt. Michael Baylous said Cpl. R.H. Greene and J.J. Overbaugh of the Quincy State Police detachment went to the Holly Grove home of Nathan Lee King Jr. about 1 p.m. Sunday and asked permission to search his house.
Baylous said troopers found 296 marijuana plants in the basement.
HERNSHAW, W.Va. -- W.Va. 94 in Hernshaw has reopened after being shut down due to a two-vehicle accident.
The crashed happened shortly before 4 p.m. between a Geo Prism and a Ford Taurus, according to a Metro 911 dispatcher.
Four people were injured in the accident and one person was stuck in one of the vehicles, the dispatcher said. The victims were transported to an area hospital.
RAND, W.Va. -- A man from Rand and a juvenile have been arrested and charged in connection with burglary and robbery at the end of February.
Joseph Whitney Nomar, 18, of Rand, and another juvenile male, have been linked to two burglaries and a first-degree robbery that took place in the 5600 block of Raven Drive, according to the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department.
During the robbery, investigators believe that Nomar and the juvenile threatened a female victim with a firearm while stealing her purse, then allegedly broke into her home a few days later and stole additional items, according to the department.
An 18-year-old Chesapeake man was in jail Wednesday on charges he sexually abused a 9-year-old girl.
According to a criminal complaint on file in Kanawha Magistrate Court, Jeremy Don Jarrett, 18, of 1200 Venable Ave., Chesapeake, admitted to having sexual contact with a 9-year-old girl on Jan. 2 and 5 in the girl's Chesapeake home.
Jack W. Ice of the Chesapeake Police Department said the girl told her mother about the alleged abuse, and that Jarrett admitted to the contact when confronted by the mother. Ice said he picked Jarrett up for questioning after receiving a call from Jarrett's stepmother and the victim's mother, who feared he might hurt himself.
Lt. Sean Crosier of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department said deputies responded to a call from Kelly's Creek Road in Cedar Grove just past 10 p.m. Sunday to investigate a reported stabbing. They found 37-year-old Randy Hill, of Montgomery, complaining of knife wounds.
Hill told deputies that his girlfriend, Holley Annette Woods, 25, of Hugheston, "became enraged over a disagreement and stabbed him four times with a knife," said Crosier. She then allegedly slashed three of the tires on Hill's truck and kicked the windshield before fleeing in another vehicle.
Crosier said Hill was not seriously injured, and refused medical attention. The investigation continues.The man hired some men to come to his house and do work today, according to a Metro 911 dispatcher.
"When the male took out his wallet to pay the worker, the man stole his wallet," the dispatcher said. "The worst part is the man was disabled and couldn't use his legs," so he couldn't defend himself.
The men got into a vehicle and fled the scene.
Detectives with the Kanawha Bureau of investigation arrested Jason William Holstein, 27 of Belle, and charged him with the murder. He is in South Central Regional Jail awaiting arraignment sometime today.
According to the initial report and medical examiner's autopsy, Scarbro had been severely beaten and shot at his residence in Chelyan on Monday. Investigators believe Holstein had planned to rob the victim of his drugs and money and killed the victim during the incident.
Police have said that Scarbro was the victim of an armed robbery in November. They said two armed men forced their way into Scarbro's home, threatened him and his family with a gun and took some money. At the time, police said they believed the robbery was drug-related.
EAST BANK, W.Va - A Riverside High School student was killed in a one-vehicle accident on W.Va 61 near Crown Hill Tuesday afternoon.
Andrea Buchanan, 17, a junior and cheerleader, was alone in the vehicle when her car went off the road, according to the West Virginia State Police.
Buchanan was traveling south on W.Va 61 near East Bank when her 2001 Toyota Camry left the right side of the road and struck an embankment. She was ejected from the vehicle and was thrown more than 60 feet before landing on the opposite side of the road. She was not wearing a seat belt.
A Fayette County woman was killed in an accident on Cabin Creek Road near Sharon Tuesday morning.
Misty Kay Boles, 31, of Fayetteville, pulled her Mercury Cougar out in front of a coal truck when she turned right from Sharon Hollow onto Cabin Creek Road, said State Police Sgt. Ken McCord. The truck hit the car on the passenger side, he said.
Passenger Joy Baumbush, 32, of Oak Hill, suffered a broken wrist and injured her knee and was taken to CAMC General Hospital.

To maximize opportunities for Colorado Law students and alumni, our Career Development Office (CDO) stays in close contact with law firms both in Colorado and across the country. Over the last two years, Dean Weiser and other members of the faculty and staff met with more than 150 law firms in Colorado and other states, including California, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Texas, and Washington DC, and corresponded with many others. All employer outreach is systematically tracked to ensure timely and efficient follow up.
The CDO also developed a directory of law firms comprised of 2-30 attorneys in Boulder and the Denver metropolitan area. The Directory contains contact information and a list of specialty areas for each firm, all Colorado Law alumni currently employed by the firm, a list of the years in which the firm hired a summer law clerk from Colorado Law, and instances in the recent past when the firm has posted a law clerk opportunity with our school.
By getting to know our students' backgrounds and interests and understanding the needs of private law firm employers, we can serve as effective matchmakers.
Twenty-one members of the class of 2015, and 58 members of the class of 2014, spent the summer of 2013 working for a law firm. (Click here for 2012 employment information.)
Large firm (50+ attorneys) summer 2013 employers included:
Mid-sized and small firm summer 2013 employers included:
35% (56 students) of employed students in the class of 2012 reported working for law firms nine months after graduation. 82% of these law firm jobs were in law offices comprised of 50 or fewer attorneys. Seven 2012 graduates reported employment at some of the largest firms in the country, including Arnold & Porter, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, Cooley LLP, Fulbright & Jaworski, and Polsinelli.
46 of these 56 students reported full time positions, and 40 reported a salary. The median private practice salary for those reporting was $70,000, and the mean was $83,524. One quarter of students reporting salaries earned more than $106,000, while one quarter earned less than $56,000.
Post-graduate employers included:
Recent CDO programs have highlighted career options in the private practice of law and provided students with information on topics related to private law firms, such as:
In January, 2013, the CDO sponsored the 2nd Annual JD Pathways, a career conference that brought together 60 students and 80 attorneys, over half of whom work for private law firms. The CDO also sponsors three program series to allow students additional opportunities to meet and learn from private practitioners:
We also host approximately 70 employers each academic year through our fall and spring On-Campus Interview (OCI) programs. Forty OCI employers in the 2012-13 academic year represented private law firms. At least 26 first- and second-year students obtained paid summer employment at law firms through the OCI process, and others secured internships during the academic year.
Diverse 1Ls at Colorado Law have the opportunity to obtain summer clerk positions at Denver-area law firms through the Colorado Pledge to Diversity Program. Five members of the class of 2015 obtained summer associate positions with Davis Graham & Stubbs, Hall & Evans, Messner & Reeves, Patton Boggs, and Snell & Wilmer.

News Release
Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Media contact: Karen Parker, 386-758-0525
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wants to make sure anglers are aware of adjustments to bass-harvest regulations on Orange and Lochloosa lakes.
The protective slot limit and the daily bag limit remain the same. All fish between 15 and 24 inches must be released, and there's a three-fish daily bag limit. Now, however, only one of the three bass kept may be over 24 inches in length.
"The largemouth bass fishery was outstanding last year," said Allen Martin, an FWC regional freshwater fisheries biologist. "It was particularly productive for large fish. Reports of trophy-size fish in the 8- to 10-pound range have become somewhat common on Orange Lake."
Public input and a survey of area anglers and businesses supported the change, which reduces the potential for anglers to harvest multiple large bass in a single day. Even though many trophy bass have been caught from Orange Lake recently, trophy bass are still a rare and valuable resource.
The 12,550-acre Orange Lake is the largest lake in the FWC's North Central Region. It is an FWC fish management area and is located about 20 miles southeast of Gainesville. Lochloosa Lake is northeast of Orange Lake.
FWC Facts:Seagrass evolved 100 million years ago from land plants that returned to the sea.

Small legalese question
Opening Act
This came up while trying to bring in another band for RBN. Obviously they have to transfer certain rights so I can do the authoring in the first place, but none of us are positive if I'd be transferring any of those rights when the song goes up for review/sale. I know I'd be transferring the rights to my work for the purposes of letting HMX do the selling, it's just the music rights themselves that we're vague on. So if any fellow authors/HMX reps have insight I'd love it.

Seniors Choose Assistant Dean as Commencement Speaker at St. John's College
FOR RELEASE: May 1, 2009
CONTACT: Patricia Dempsey, 410.626.2539
One hundred and ten St. John's College seniors, having completed their senior essays and defended them in oral examinations, are expected to receive their diplomas at the college's 217th commencement ceremony on the college's front lawn on Sunday, May 17, at 10:30 a.m. The graduating seniors represent 25 states and the District of Columbia, Brazil, France, and China. Thirty-nine students from the Graduate Institute will receive their master's degrees.
The seniors at St. John's choose their commencement speaker. This year they asked Anita Kronsberg, a longtime tutor at the college who is currently assistant dean, to give the commencement speech. "I am touched and honored," says Ms. Kronsberg of being selected as the 2009 commencement speaker. Ms. Kronsberg joined the college as a tutor in 1984.
The college's commencement ceremonies are simple, but rich with tradition. A procession of faculty and students opens the ceremony on the tree-lined front lawn. A handful of prizes and honorable mentions are awarded before each student is given a diploma and congratulated by President Christopher B. Nelson.
Graduating seniors from Maryland are: Luke Anthony Russell, Christopher Pierce Borders, and Ashley Brooke Tyler, of Annapolis; John Paul Lucien McIntyre and Seth Gregory Appelbaum, of Baltimore; Rachel Michelle Bartgis, Millersville; Christopher Michael Borchert, Hagerstown; Hannah Custis, Cambridge; Ashley Renee Fetterolf, Earleville; Joseph Filvarof, Silver Spring; Patrick Auer Jones, Catonsville; Maria Nicole Lunsford, Brookeville; Brittany Rae McBride, Mitchellville; Lauren Elaine Mooney, Rockville; Nathan Jeffrey Oesch, Bethesda; Melissa Anne Peiser, Owings Mills; Christopher Scott Thorn, Davidsonville; and Katherine Leigh Walter, Westminster.
Graduate students from Maryland are: Katharine Marie Cerezo, Jared Alexander Favole, and Rosemary Harty, of Annapolis; Johnny Lee Young, of Severn; Jennifer Anne Boyd, Nicholas Solway Jan Hondrum, and Colin Andrew Joseph Murphy, of Baltimore; Darrin Shane Broadwater, LaVale; David Nicholas Bahr, Kensington; Kevin David Gurubatham, Silver Spring; Lisa Marie Moscatiello, Takoma Park; and April Dawn Pierman, Grasonville.
In case of rain, commencement exercises will take place in Francis Scott Key Auditorium, where admission will be by ticket only and limited to immediate family of the graduates. From 10:15 a.m. to Noon, College Avenue will be closed to traffic from St. John's Street to King George Street; the first block of Prince George Street will be closed as well.

In re Thomas
Posted on December 15th, 2010 No commentsWell, well, well. It appears I have caused a little bit of a stir among those who regularly practice in the area of child protection law.
On December 18, 2009, the Trial Court terminated mother's parental rights to her one year old daughter. Her parental rights to five other children were previously terminated in 2004, and her parental rights to a sixth child were terminated in 2006. This most recent termination was her seventh. Mother had made great strides since the most recent termination. I was appointed to represent Mother on appeal.
On December 7, 2010, the Court of Appeals issued an opinion reversing the trial court. The Court wrote:
"Reviewing the evidence as a whole, we harbor serious doubts that the statutory grounds for termination were established by clear and convincing evidence as to (b)(ii), (g), and (j). A trial court may terminate parental rights pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(i) where:
Parental rights to 1 or more siblings of the child have been terminated due to serious and chronic neglect or physical or sexual abuse, and prior attempts to rehabilitate the parents have been unsuccessful.
Assuming, without deciding, that the above statutory basis was clearly and convincingly established, we nevertheless reverse because clear and convincing evidence did not establish that termination was in the child's best interests.
What has most concerned about this opinion is the Court of Appeal's application of the clear and convincing evidence standard to the best interest determination. Both MCR 3.977 and MCL 712A.19b(5) are silent as to the burden of proof to be applied at best interests. This case is significant because the Court of Appeals has interpreted the statute and the Court Rule to apply the clear and convincing evidence standard as opposed to preponderance of the evidence. For those you that follow this blog, you know I have commented that there is some ambiguity in the statute and court rule as to the applicable burden of proof (see here).
What I think is the most important thing to take away from this case is that mother had made great strides to correct the conditions that led to the previous termination. The Court noted "[mother] is [not] the same person that she was when her rights were terminated to the other children some years prior, and none of the prosecution's witnesses testified that respondent's parental rights should be terminated or that termination would be in the child's best interests." Regardless of the burden of proof, Mother was in a position to be given a chance to reunify with her children.
Because I am the attorney on the case, I hesitate to comment too much on the matter until it reaches an ultimate resolution. I promise to post more regarding the burden of proof at best interests in the future.

One advertiser is hoping to sway web users its way by glomming onto a White House-driven meme, but it's not the Republican National Committee or a GOP presidential candidate. It's a lesser-known global news media firm. Hoping to raise awareness of its YouTube channel, RT America, part of RT Network, ran a Promoted Tweet that appeared in searches for "#40dollars," a Twitter hashtag that's part of a White House social media initiative gaining steam today.
The idea is to put the payroll tax cut debate into real terms for voters. If Congress does not extend the tax cut - which is the latest point of contention in an ongoing tug-of-war between Republicans and Democrats - the average family earning $50,000 per year would have around $40 less in their paychecks, according to the White House. Reports this afternoon indicate that the House Republican leaders have indeed agreed to pass the bill extending the payroll tax cut for two months, something President Obama has been avidly supporting.
To help drive the point home and spur a conversation about the subject, the White House on December 20 encouraged people to tell others what $40 means to them via posts to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and through a form on the White House site. Since then, the administration has highlighted select posts from people, and reported the number of tweets and form submissions generated by the effort.
The program presents an opportunity for Republicans to co-opt the #40dollars tag and message to communicate their side of the story. Some individuals appear to be doing that on Twitter and Facebook, employing the tag in opposition to Obama, or to poke fun: "Getting ballot signatures for Newt in Virginia is a good way to earn #40dollars a week," quipped CNN reporter Peter Hamby on Twitter today. Others complained that the argument seemed disingenuous considering the high cost of the Obama family's holiday travel to and vacation in Hawaii.
However, as the campaign drew attention today, the only advertiser that appeared to be taking advantage on Twitter was RT. Until around 5pm today, a promoted tweet that appeared in search results for #40dollars promoted a video from RT's YouTube channel in which a reporter explains the "Word of the Day: Currency Peg."
Yesterday, the White House touted success on its official blog, noting, "The response was overwhelming--more than 20,000 from all 50 states have people [sic] submitted their stories through our web site since yesterday afternoon…. Data is still coming in, but #40dollars has been used in over 1,000 tweets and counting. Based on the latest report from Hashtracking.com, those tweets have generated 7,425,833 impressions, reaching an audience of 7,288,208 followers within the past 24 hours."
Another post stated that 18,000 submissions came in through the Whitehouse.gov form, "averaging over 1,000 an hour and coming in from every state in the nation." It's important to note the responses aren't all supportive of Obama.
The White House also asked people to post video responses on YouTube using the title "This is what $40 means to me," but a search on YouTube turned up just two videos using that title.
Whether the administration's social media experiment had any impact at all on the political wrangling inside Washington is unclear, but the effort could be a sign of things to come from the White House as it straddles the line between campaigning for reelection and using the bully pulpit.

Purchased iPhone/Reported Stolen
So a few weeks ago I dropped my iPhone 4 and it shattered pretty bad. I bought a second-hand iPhone 4S off of Craigslist because I don't have an upgrade for quite some time. I had the person meet me at AT&T and had the phone checked to make sure it was not stolen at the store before changing hands. The phone worked great for over 2 weeks and then a few days ago it stopped receiving service.
I did not know what was the cause, so I took it to AT&T store. The people at the store remembered me from having just been in there a few weeks earlier and were disappointed to tell me the phone had since been reported stolen and was now locked and unusable. They said despite watching me purchase the phone, once it is reported stolen - it is useless. I have contacted the young woman who sold me the phone, and she says that she did not report it stolen, but that it was under her mother's account and she would make sure that her mother did not report it (this may all be BS for all I know). Am I completely out of luck? If the legal owner of the account told AT&T that the phone was not stolen is it possible for it to be unlocked? Or is that just a waste of time anyways.

I would threaten the seller that you are going to report it to the police and she could be charged with selling stolen property.

I've personally never had a problem like this and I've bought numerous phones from Craigslist, but it's stories like this that make me reconsider.
If the phone is transferred at an AT&T store, wouldn't that make the buyer the primary user for the phone going forward? Why would the previous owner be allowed to report a phone stolen when they had it transferred to a new owner? I think once the IMEI has been switched to a new account, only the new account holder can report it stolen. I thought one of the safeguards of avoiding buying a stolen phone from Craigslist is to meet the seller at a corporate store to ensure phone can be activated with no issues. But even if you take that step, the seller can still report it stolen weeks later? WTF |

It matters to you and they are public servants. They work for you. Tell the seller you'll be filing the police report regarding selling stolen property and see what happens; then do it if you need to.

The BBA's Summer Jobs program is setting the pace, 37 firms have secured 54 paid internships for Boston Public High School students. Learn more here.

In this season of giving, consider making a contribution to the BBF, which is hard at work creating opportunities for Boston's youth, providing assistance for individuals and families facing homelessness, or helping veterans learn their legal rights. Learn more or donate here.
Focusing on a range of issues unique to the non-profit sector
The Boston Bar Association knows that in times of crisis, lawyers are uniquely positioned to provide assistance to those in need. In the wake of the Boston Marathon tragedy, the Mayor's Office reached out to the BBA to help provide legal assistance to those small businesses in the Back Bay affected by the bombing. Our members jumped at the opportunity to volunteer their time and talent to their community.
With nearly 200 individual volunteers, 26 law firms and 3 law schools offering assistance, members of the bar have sprung into action and taken dozens of pro bono cases, with more coming in every day. We asked our volunteers about their experiences providing pro bono legal assistance to those affected: "I wanted an opportunity to give back to the community in a time of need, providing any expertise I could to help those adversely affected by the events," said Richard Heller, Senior Vice President and General Counsel at Legal Seafood. "I believe I provided guidance in directing the client with a roadmap through the insurance maze." "We believe in the power of the community to rally in difficult times and to support each other," said Suzanne King, Partner at Schwartz Hannum. "Schwartz Hannum was thrilled to see the BBA step up and take a leadership role in organizing the many law firms who were interested in helping the businesses affected by the Boston Marathon bombings. We are proud of the generosity of the Boston legal community and were happy to do our part." Along with our members, organizations across Boston heard the BBA's call to action, including the Mayor's Office, the One Fund, the Massachusetts Office of Victims Assistance and the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety. These organizations have listed the BBA as a resource for small businesses and individuals affected by the bombings, from offering legal assistance to help filing One Fund claims. For more information regarding those agencies with whom the BBA is working to aid victims and businesses, click here. Some of the cases accepted by BBA volunteers deal with insurance claims, business continuity, relocation and employee matters, while more complex ones include individuals with whom the FBI has requested to speak and businesses who felt unfairly represented by marathon coverage. As the BBA continues to receive calls for assistance from individuals and businesses affected by the tragedy, we realize that the range of cases is more complex and nuanced than anticipated. We value the willingness of the bar to step up to serve the city, its businesses and its people as we recover from this tragedy. The BBA would like to thank its members for their dedication to our Greater Boston community and for their work to ensure access to justice for those affected by the Boston Marathon tragedy. To offer your assistance in this time of need, contact Katie D'Angelo at email@example.com.

Buy a Fiat! Save the UAW!
Getting My H2 ready for winter...
I got some new tread for it, they drive nice. Strangler had some brand new 315-70-17bfgs he bought and couldn't use on his truck so I picked them up and saved myself a bunch of money off the "new" price. got them mounted up Wednesday and put on. I was surprised how much quieter the new ones were over the old. I guess my ears had just got used to the noise they made as they wore.
I went through and fixed a weather seal to that ripped as I drug my foot getting in and out. damn things are $50 to replace and I have done that twice already. now I have to change out all the fluids. its almost 8 years old and I have never done everything at once.

First, make sure your laptop has an output for a second monitor. Depending on the age of the laptop it may have a VGA, HDMI, both, or none at all.
Next make sure your TV has a matching input available. Most HD sets will have a VGA input, all will have HDMI. Then all you need is the video cable of appropriate length and a 3.5mm to rca adapter cable for sound (only needed with VGA). Once the connections are made the laptop may detect the tv and prompt you to make selections on how to utilize the new screen. If it does detect the tv, you'll have to change the display settings manually. Some laptops are super simple, my 6 month old Toshiba auto-detected the TV right away and turns the laptop screen off when the tv is plugged in. (My preference for video streaming) My wife's 3 year old sony took about an hour to get the laptop to see the tv as a screen option and get the settings to work properly. TIP: you may have to also change the screen resolution settings for the tv to display the image properly or at all for that matter. Our older Samsung plasma will only see a pc as an input if the resolution falls into a certain parameter. Buy cables from monoprice.com, I had less than $20 into a 25' VGA cable and audio cable shipped when I did mine. NOT sent from an iPhone

That is a VGA connection, which is video only. As far as I know it won't adapt to hdmi so your tv will need to have the same connection. Those stores may have a short one, but not likely anything over the standard length. Best buy should have what you need but it won't be cheap.

If you have a VGA input on the TV, you can use a VGA cable like skife linked to and just use a 3.5mm stereo to RCA stereo cable to connect the headphone output on the laptop to an RCA stereo input on the TV.
Example: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2 In a lot of ways, VGA is easier to get working properly vs. HDMI. VGA is just more accepting of PC resolutions. HDMI sometimes gets pissy if your computer doesn't send a standard TV resolution. Monoprice is awesome BTW. They are not junk cables by any means. Great TV mounts as well. |

With the storm recovery continuing in the Fredericksburg area and more than 18,000 places still without power in Stafford County as of Sunday morning, generators become the only source of power for many people.
Stafford County is under a local state of emergency after Friday's derecho.
Area public safety officials urge residents to practice safety precautions if using generators.
The U. S. Fire Administration (USFA) provides the following tips to prevent the loss of life and property resulting from improper use of portable generators.
To avoid carbon monoxide hazards:
- Always use generators outdoors, away from doors, windows and vents.
- Never use generators in homes, garages, basements, crawl spaces, or other enclosed or partially enclosed areas, even with ventilation.
- Follow manufacturer's instructions.
- Install battery-operated or plugin (with battery backup) carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home, following manufacturer's instructions.
- Test CO alarms often and replace batteries when needed.
To avoid electrical hazards:
- Keep the generator dry. Operate on a dry surface under an open, canopy-like structure.
- Dry your hands before touching the generator.
- Plug appliances directly into generator or use a heavy-duty outdoor-rated extension cord.
- Make sure entire extension cord is free of cuts or tears and the plug has all 3 prongs, especially a grounding pin.
- NEVER plug the generator into a wall outlet. This practice, known as backfeeding, can cause an electrocution risk to utility workers and others served by the same utility transformer.
- If necessary to connect generator to house wiring to power appliances, have a qualified electrician install appropriate equipment. Or, your utility company may be able to install an appropriate transfer switch.
To avoid fire hazards:
- Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool. Fuel spilled on hot engine parts could ignite.
- Always store fuel outside of living areas in properly labeled, nonglass containers.
- Store fuel away from any fuelburning appliance.

Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into full of surprises, full of delights.
The beautiful region of Burgundy in France is famously home to some of the most exquisite red wines to be found anywhere on earth, and is most commonly associated with the silky, elegant and flavorful Pinot Noir varietal wines which are commonly produced there. However, the superb and mineral rich soils fed by the Rhone river, and the long hot summers and mild autumns of the region produce a wide variety of fine grapes, and as such, Burgundy produces plenty of different wines which are equally as good as the produce the region is famed for. The region of Burgundy itself has a wine-making history which stretches back at least two thousand years, and as such, it comes as no surprise that the wineries which fill the dozens of controlled appellations of the region rely heavily on traditional methods and techniques when it comes to producing their famous wines.
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.

Lemon-and-Thyme Potato Gratin
Lemon zest gives this dish real lemon flavor without making the milk curdle.
Get More
Subscribe to Martha Stewart LivingIngredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more melted for pan
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced very thinly
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Zest of 1 lemon, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup milk
Step 1
Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Place a baking sheet on rack below to catch any drips from gratin. Brush a 10-by-5 1/2-inch gratin dish with melted butter.
Step 2
Cover bottom of gratin dish with one-third of potato slices in an even layer. Sprinkle potatoes with one-third each of thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Dot with butter. Add a second layer, and season. Top with a third layer of neatly arranged potato slices. Pour milk over potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining third thyme, nutmeg, and lemon zest, and dot with butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum foil.
Step 3
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake 10 to 20 minutes, until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. If the top of the gratin is not golden brown but potatoes are tender, heat the broiler. Place gratin under the broiler for just a few seconds to brown nicely. Serve gratin hot, spooned out into individual servings. Potato gratin will hold well in a low oven (about 200 degrees, covered with aluminum foil for up to 1 hour).

By Jackie Borchardt and Lynn Hulsey
Secretary of State Jon Husted fired the two Democrats on the Montgomery County Board of Elections on Tuesday for rejecting his statewide early voting schedule, raising the stakes in a white-knuckle standoff between Republicans and Democrats over voting hours.
Husted, a Republican, dismissed Thomas Ritchie, Sr., and Dennis Lieberman in a letter Tuesday, saying they willfully violated state election law. Ritchie and Lieberman had voted to add weekend voting hours to those in Husted's directive and refused to rescind their action as Husted's office requested.
Husted wrote Tuesday, "Board members are free to express their discontent with any Directive or Advisory issued, but they cannot disobey them. Your dismissal is not about differing views; it is about you violating the law by not following a Directive. He concluded: "I find no pleasure in taking this action and I thank you for your service."
Ritchie and Lieberman told the Dayton Daily News they weren't surprised by the news and were meeting with attorneys to discuss legal action.
"He may have fired me, but he declared war on the Montgomery County electorate, on the people of our community," Lieberman said. "We're going back to the [Ken] Blackwell days."
Blackwell was as an honorary co-chairman of the committee to re-elect George W. Bush at the same time he served as secretary of state in Ohio.
The executive committee of the Montgomery County Democratic Party has 15 days to meet and select replacements, and party Chairman Mark Owens said that process would start even as the party considers a lawsuit.
Husted said he would accept the party's choices unless he found them to be incompetent.
"This board has a history of working together," Owens said. "They've run elections well so I want to make sure we have more than competent people. Certainly they're not going to have the experience Tom and Dennis had."
Ritchie has been on the board for 17 years and Lieberman 10 years. Neither said he could remember another Ohio board of elections member removed during his or her term. Husted spokesman Matt McClellan said that observation may be factually accurate but former Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, did not reappoint a Hardin County election board member after he failed to follow a directive.
Husted said his decision was based in part on findings by an independent hearing officer, Jon Allison, a Columbus attorney and former chief of staff for Republican Gov. Bob Taft. Allison recommended the removal of Ritchie and Lieberman in a report released Monday.
Husted and the two Democrats have clashed before. In 2009, Ritchie and Lieberman twice voted that Husted, a longtime Kettering resident, no longer resided in Montgomery County for voting purposes. Husted, who had just been elected to the Ohio Senate after serving as Ohio's House Speaker, said he spent most of his time with his family in Upper Arlington but that his house in Kettering was his residence. The county elections board deadlocked along party lines on the residency question and then-Secretary of State Brunner broke the tie, ruling that Husted did not live in Montgomery County and his voter registration should be canceled.
Brunner's ruling was overturned by the Ohio Supreme Court in October 2009.
Husted, who was planning to run for secretary of state at the time, said Brunner's actions illustrated how a partisan secretary of state can destroy the credibility of the office.
In an interview last week, Husted said the residency dispute did not play into his decision to discipline Ritchie and Lieberman.
"That's absurd that that had anything to do with it," Husted said. "I don't think about the two board members in question ever. I've moved on to try to do important positive things in life. I don't hold grudges."

TEAMS: Oakland Athletics, Kansas City Royals
Ok, I'm not going to lie... I went to bed at the rain delay. Yes, I know the game was nearly over, but I just wanted to lay in bed and catch up on the new season of "The Killing". Awesome show, by the way... and the game never restarted, so I dodn't miss anything as the Royals won 3-0 in the rain-shortened game.
My early bow-out aside, Danny Duffy kept the streak of stellar starts from Kansas City pitchers alive, tossing 6 innings of 1-hit ball, the only hit from the Oakland Athletics all night, while striking out 8 and walking 4.
Control has been a bit of an issue in Duffy's short career, but no need to dwell on that today. I will take 4 walks coulped with 1 hit and ZERO runs any day. That's a WHIP of 0.83.
Aaron Crow entered in the 7th, threw a full inning, striking out 2 and was awarded the save when the game was cancelled in the 8th inning.
The only Athletics hit came from shortstop Cliff Pennington in the 3rd inning, who was then picked off...
