Bullied at Work? You're Not To Blame
Why are some adults more likely to blame themselves rather than the bully boss bearing down on them? A recent study links self-blame (guilt) to depression and shows that this dangerous combo inhibits the ability to express indignation. The first piece of advice most targets of workplace bullying encounter when they seek help is the important mantra that it's not their fault. This should be coupled at every turn with "seek counseling" to deal with the depression that often accompanies bullying and can lock targets into a feeling of hopelessness rather than seeking proactive solutions or leaving.

Program Structure
Alaska Adapting to Changing Environments
Alaska EPSCoR conducts biological, physical and social research into the adaptive capacity of Alaskan communities: the mechanisms that enable communities to effectively respond to environmental and social changes. Research includes new sensors to monitor biophysical changes coupled with social science approaches to measure community responses.
EPSCoR research is organized around three regional test cases. The Southeast test case focuses on changes to ecosystem services brought on by glacial recession in Berners Bay, near Juneau. The Southcentral test case examines the effects of hydrological and landscape changes on communities in the Kenai River watershed. The Northern test case studies how permafrost thaw and land cover change affect subsistence resources around Interior and Arctic villages, with a current focus on the North Slope village of Nuiqsut.
Results from the test cases are used by a statewide Coordination, Integration and Synthesis (CIS) Working Group to answer larger scientific questions about adaptation and to create decision-support tools for land and resource managers. An Education, Outreach and Diversity (EOD) Group works to involve students and the public in EPSCoR research and to keep them apprised of results.
Project data acquired by Alaska EPSCoR, as well as relevant data compiled from other agencies and organizations, can be accessed at Alaska EPSCoR's statewide data portal.

Cops rescue girl, blind man from West Side blaze
BY MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com November 27, 2012 12:28AM
Chicago Police Officers William Morales (front row, left), John McNichols and Richard Tunzi and Don Beese (back row, left), Joe Deferville and Matthew Scott rescued four people from a burning apartment building Monday night. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: December 28, 2012 6:30AM
Chicago Police Officer Joe Deferville had just pulled a guy over for driving backward down Division Street on Monday evening when another motorist drove by and said, "Officer, the building back there's on fire."
Deferville told the reverse driver to turn around and bolted half a block east to a brick three-flat that was filling with smoke as a closed business burned next door at 4050 W. Division.
Deferville, 32, and his partner, Officer William Morales, 40, scrambled through thick gray smoke frantically knocking on doors at 7:54 p.m.
On the third floor, hip-hop music was blaring from an apartment. Deferville found a mother in her 20s and her grade school-age daughter.
The mother was looking for clothes, but Deferville told her, "Ma'am, we've got to go now, get a pair of socks for your daughter, I'm taking her out of here."
Then he picked up the girl and ran for front door, with the mother following.
Morales helped an elderly blind man to the stairs, and fellow Officer Matthew Scott, 47, took the man's arm and led him outside.
A fourth man from the second floor was escorted from the building as six officers in total descended on the building for a final sweep to check that everyone was out.
"You run in, do what you can — and get the hell out," Deferville said hours later, still reeking of smoke, as Scott stood next to him and coughed.
"No one was injured. . . . It all ended well. Property damage can be replaced," Deferville said.

Caption: Research detailing the fossil of a dwarf baleen whale, Herpetocetus, from Northern California reveals that it avoided extinction far longer than previously thought. The 4-5 metre long whale, thought to be the last survivor of the primitive baleen whale family called cetotheres, may be as young as 700,000 years old. The previously youngest-known fossils of this whale were from the pre-Ice Age Pliocene epoch; approximately 3 million years ago, a time before many modern marine mammals appeared. Baleen whales of this type were most common much earlier, about 10-15 million years ago. This graphic shows the geologic ages of Herpetocetus and various well known marine and land mammals from California, with a life restoration of Herpetocetus.

12 Easy Ways to Cut 100 Calories
Losing weight is hard. But it could be simpler, especially if you focus on trimming 100 calories here and there. Just make a few painless swaps throughout the day, and watch the pounds melt away.
By Karen Asp
At dinner: Be a veg-head.
Baked potatoes and rice have their place on the dinner table, but if youre worried about that waistline, lay off these carbs. At all meals, keep starchy carbs to zero to two servings and get the majority of your carbs from non-starchy veggies, says Virgin. Just replace that rice or potato with an extra helping of veggies. You will easily save 100 calories and get more nutritional bang for each bite.

The question is: Would he have sex with you if he was, isn't it?
(it's a given most of us would have sex with him!)
The question is: Would he have sex with you if he was, isn't it?
(it's a given most of us would have sex with him!)
He is neither Homo-, Bi-, nor Heterosexual; he is AUTOsexual. I don't mean that he only beats off, I mean that he is so narcissistic that even when he is sexing someone else he is only into his sex act.
I've found that lube, time and the lust of the receiver make almost anything possible.
That Guy is always so hot. Definately a case of he is the beauty and posh is the beast
He's so much hotter with short hair.
pretty cute...the second he opens his mouth..well it's just a huge turn off...British accents are torture.
Hey!!!!! British accents are torture!!!!! Not from where I cum from mate!
We don't all talk like Becks - but I'm not knocking his accent either.
Don't tar us all with the same brush...
And remember... when you point a finger at some other guy there are three pointing back at YOU!
he looks hot
I've always thought he was attractive but never understood why so many gay guys worhship him. There are plenty of much hotter dudes who don't get half the attention he does, maybe cuz he's soccer player?
There's a nice candid photo monatge of Beckham:
One in particular has a nice shot of his ass (propbably not real but still nice!)
It's s fake, but I like it, if anyone has the picture please post
Awww, it's fake.
I would do anything to get my hands on his ass!
could someone please post it as a picture?
Beckham is so metro-sexual his butt must be more fragrant than his wife's...it probably smells of Chanel No. 5...
Fake but still nice to look at -
oh to be a fly on his bathroom wall!
Thai & asian guys heaven! GAY THAILAND - ASIAN FORUM
I don't see any just personal ones.
soo hot, i wanna shoot in his ass.
Ohhh, we can only dream...
Nice ass pic, I wish it wasn't a fake.
What do you make of this ? http://home.pacbell.net/rux/becks2.jpg
That's not him, it's a lookalike taken by a photograph artist called Alison Jackson from a book called Private. She also did a TV show called Doubletake
ah, woop tee doo. yes david is pretty, and we'd love to see him frontally naked, but until he has the courage to do that, he's just another hot athelete. what am i saying.....HE'S A FUCKING HOT ATHELETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell is living in the opinion of others.............
... apparently David Beckham at
now.. is this true?
the section is almost half way down
Please note, on 21 July 2009, 45 threads were merged to create this one. Until Page 21, it will appear disjointed in subject matter. - Quasar, Forum Moderator
Why dont you become a member and find out?
With str8 men, all you need is time.
there are nude pics of dave on the net already, notice how they dont say they have a cock shot of him.
they do have some cool looking pics though.
plus if there was a pic of dave in all his glory, it would be all over the internet by now.
yeah I've been around the net a while and theres no full frontal pics of Beckham about , there is a pic of him from 1999 nude in the team bath with Ryan Giggs but you cant see anything clearly below the waist although people have tried to highlight and brighten up the photo to try and see . There are a few videos mentioned on that site that perk the interest though , if anyone is a member maybe they could give details of how accurate some of the descriptions are.
yeah, it occured that if they were true it would be well known... and i would have seen them already.. and you know.... stuff
i have seen his police ones too, where he is naked, but thats about it i guess
god i hope to see him naked...
Trust me....If there was a nude of David Beckham, it would be in my folder....LOL
wanna fuck him.... he is too hot
No there is no pic of him naked full frontal the is one of him in his tighty whities but thats it there is also a advert by adidas where he is naked but it is a side profile but its not that great
There is a picture of David in a bath with some other players naked and a barely visible outline if his cock.
it looks real and good enough 2 me
Beckham could do whatever he liked with me!
found these on the web
Ok, maybe I'm the only one living downtown on this thread because I'm surprised that no one else has started this post yet...
Here in beautiful downtown Toronto we have streetcars that run up and down most major streets..(for those who have never been here)
On about half of the downtown lines there are huge ads for Calvin Klien underwear with none other than David Beckham featured in all his glorious and briefed self....
Sorry I don't have any pics to post...and even if I did I wouldn't know how.... but I'm sure they are out there somewhere...
Forgive me for my lack of researching.....
All we want is a headrush, all we want is to get out of our skins for a while.
here is a pic I found
and it hurts with every heartbeat......
sb, twas worth a try, but jub and photobucket hate each other, cant use links, i have some pics in my gallery:
those ae two of the best
here is the pic that I linked
and it hurts with every heartbeat......
thanx guys but those arent the same ones...the ones around town are in tighty whiteys
All we want is a headrush, all we want is to get out of our skins for a while.
Are you sure it's david beckham, he's never modelled for calvin klein underwear. Maybe it's Freddie Ljungberg, he's a swedish international who plays for arsenal here in London. He does model for calvin klein underwear.
don't know if this is new, but I saw this on another forum of David's bulge
damn... hothothot
First post underneath the picture ....
I'd do him in aheartbeat.... Man he is HOT!!!!!!!!
Wow.. He must be like 7 inches or so.. maybe
Wow look at the bulge of him! He must got a huge one!
I'd do him , so long as he didnt speak, with his high pitched squeeky voice, that'd give me an instant soft on

Gift Cards — Better than Sliced Bread?
By Ed Jesionowski
Business Consultant
CUcorp Lending & Payment Solutions
Sliced bread, ATMs and gift cards?
We've all either heard it or said it, "That's the greatest invention since sliced bread." Although comparing gift cards to sliced bread may be a slight exaggeration, gift cards have definitely taken off in Michigan. In fact, Michigan had more gift card sales within the credit union movement than any other state in 2004.
Has your credit union jumped on board yet? If not, here's how easy and convenient the prepaid gift card can be for your credit union.
Let's say a member from your credit union has three nieces who live in the Atlanta area. She decides to try the old-fashioned method of holiday shopping by going out to the mall, not really sure about sizes, colors or brands of clothing and literally spending hours trying to decide what to buy.
When the member finally sends everything down south after finding the right boxes, postage, etc., the job is done, right? Well, one week later, those little nieces weren't happy, and were wondering if the gifts could be exchanged for something else. Sound appealing or at all familiar?
Maybe the gift card is a better solution. That same member could just visit his or her credit union and pick up a prepaid debit card, which will be loaded with the exact dollar amount in about 30 seconds. The member can just fit the gift card in a nice envelope, and send it on its way. Once those nieces receive the gift card, they will be able to use it wherever Visa is accepted, including retail shops, restaurants and gas stations. The member is happy because there's no need to hassle with holiday shopping and the nieces are thrilled to be carrying a debit card that can be used on whatever their little hearts desire.
These gift cards are great for holidays, birthdays, weddings or any special occasion. It's much safer than sending cash, more versatile than a gift certificate and, let's face it, it looks much cooler — especially for those young adults who want to impress their friends with their own debit card. There are even eight different designs to choose from.
These gift cards are non-reloadable. So, when the dollar amount is exhausted, they can simply be thrown away. Each purchase is deducted from the balance of the card until no balance remains.
Down the road we will be introducing the Family Card, which will be reloadable. It's designed for the younger adult, especially college-bound students. Parents will be able to re-load $100 a month (or any amount up to $500) onto their child's debit card even when they are away at school. And the best part: Mom and dad will be able to check to see where this card is being used by checking the Web site every day!
* * * * *
For more information on gift cards, contact Jesionowski at (800) 262-6285, Ext. 538, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The criterion of comprehensiveness refers to both a data set's scope and richness of detail with respect to firearm-related violence.
Scope can be subdivided into the types of events that are captured and the populations covered. The scope of the NCVS, for example, is restricted to nonfatal incidents and to the characteristics of crime victims rather than offenders. Vital statistics and hospital-based information on firearm violence is also limited to the victims. The UCR, by contrast, captures information on both crime victims and offenders, but they are limited to offenses that are known to and recorded by law enforcement agencies. The NCVS includes data on both crimes reported to the police and those that victims do not report. Household-based surveys such as the NCVS and the GSS are limited to the population of persons with stable residences, thereby omitting transients and other persons at high risk for firearm violence. Such persons are included in the ADAM program, which collects information on persons who come into contact with the criminal justice system.
Geographic coverage is another dimension of scope. The GSS, for example, is representative of the United States and the nine census regions, but it is too sparse geographically to support conclusions at finer levels of geographical aggregation. This lack of individual-level data from small geographical areas is a significant shortcoming in the firearms data. Presumably, we would like to be able to make statements about, for example, the probability that an individual commits suicide conditional on owning a gun (or having one available) and other covariates. This cannot be done if the smallest geographical unit that the data resolve is a multistate region. Similar statements can be made about other forms of gun violence.
Perhaps no better illustration of the patchwork character of information on firearms violence in the United States exists than the multiple and nonoverlapping or partially overlapping coverage of the data sets. That should come as little surprise, inasmuch as many of the data sets were expressly intended to provide information about crime, violence, or injury that was not available from other sources. The major impetus for the development of the NCVS, for example, was to gather information on crime incidents that do not come to the attention of law enforcement agencies. The collection of information on violence from hospitals and emergency departments is intended to reveal types of violence, such as partner abuse, thought to be underreported in crime data sources.
The patchwork of existing data sources, in other words, has been created with the best of intentions and has shed light on aspects of violence, including the role of firearms, that otherwise would have remained hidden

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - A Sweetwater man has been sentenced to 151 months in prison for possessing child pornography.
Steven Marshall Fout, 24, pleaded guilty in June 2013 to federal charges of knowingly distributing and possessing child pornography.
After he's released from prison, Fout must also serve 30 years of supervised probation.
He was also ordered to pay $2,500 in restitution to victims whose digital images were found on in his possession.
Fout must also register as a sex offender.
Federal prosecutors say Fout's case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Friends, please observe a moment of silence for my longtime, trusted friend the Oki printer. Sadly, she has suffered a #42 fatal error, and it appears that there's no way of resucitating her.
To tell you the truth, I've sort of known this day was coming–looming on the horizon like a dark (and expensive) storm cloud. She just hasn't been herself–very tempermental, sort of lazy. I had three service calls in the last couple of months all which resulted in only short-term repairs.
I feel like I owe her this tribute though–after all, she is the backbone of my business. She's lived with me in my house, apartment and now my condo since maybe 2004. She's had a good life up on her hand-me-down, rickety printer stand in the studio. Fortunately, she was an organ donor–so her relatively new parts will be transplanted into her sucessor which has been purchased and will probably arrive on Monday.
Oh Oki, go now, to a better place where you'll never have to print another envelope again.

No suspicion necessary: DHS can still seize belongings without reasonSubmitted by Bob-45 on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 01:52
Published: 09 February, 2013, 02:16
The Fourth Amendment no longer means what you once thought it did: A new report reveals that the government has shrugged off concerns over the alleged constitutional infringements of its own citizens near international crossings.
An internal review of the US Department of Homeland Security's procedures regarding the suspicionless search-and-seizure of phones and laptops near the nation's border has reaffirmed the agency's ability to bypass Fourth Amendment-protected rights [.pdf].
In a two page executive summary published quietly last month to the official DHS website, the agency explains that a civil rights and civil liberties impact assessment of the office's little-known power to collect personal electronics near international crossings has passed an auditor's interpretation of what does and doesn't violate the US Constitution.

I'm outraged. There is no govt dept that can make any decision to abrogate a natural right. Natural rights ar unalienable.
No wonder they want our guns.
This should have been front page news.
Zero Hedge has the map.
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
James Madison
Suspicionless' Seizure
"We also conclude that imposing a requirement that officers have reasonable suspicion in order to conduct a border search of an electronic device would be operationally harmful without concomitant civil rights/civil liberties benefits," the executive summary said.
WTF happened to the constitution?
The constitution has been a dead letter for years.
The state class either ignores it or re-interprets it. Garet Garrett explained it best, there has been a quiet, actual revolution/coup while maintaining the outward forms and rituals of the old republic.

This topic has been in our local news quite frequently, such as a bakery refusing to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. Usually the public backlash is so bad that it hurts their business. Slate has an article discussing states enacting laws to prevent it:
As nationwide same-sex marriage becomes increasingly inevitable, anti-gay activists are turning to the next frontier of the gay rights movement: private discrimination. Today, the Huffington Post tracks a few seemingly thorny cases that pit individual religious liberty—that is to say, the liberty to discriminate—against anti-discrimination laws. All these cases follow the same pattern: A private business refuses to render services to a gay couple or group, then finds itself slapped with a lawsuit. The business pleads religious liberty. The Christian right is outraged.
As the Huffington Post article suggests, ending private discrimination against gays isn't as much of a clear-cut, slam-dunk issue as marriage equality. When a state allows gay people to get married, nobody really loses (unless they're truly crazy). But when a state bans private discrimination against gay people, there's always a losing side—the homophobes. And even if these homophobes' cause is bigoted, their seemingly principled stand in the name of religious liberty can evoke more sympathy than NOM's shrill shrieks.
Read more: http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2013/09/09/religious_liberty_and_homophobia_how_far_should_the_law_go_to_protect_gays.html [2]
Have you been on the receiving end of private discrimination? Do you think that state laws would help prevent it from occuring?

Nikki Atterholt, Owner and Designer
Once upon a time
I dreamed of owning my own design business. Little did I know that, one day, God would grant me a life beyond my wildest dreams. Granted, my dreams weren't really all that wild according to most. But to me? Finding and marrying my best friend and filling an old charming home with little feet, pit-pattering on the hardwood floors, letting my creative juices flow every day while at home taking care of those littles and downing coffee like it isn't hot. Wait. Do I ever get to drink my coffee while it's still hot? Anyway, that is what my big dreams were made of. Simple. Happy. Content.
Today, my life is filled with 3 beautiful girls, the man I love, an old charming farmhouse, this business and a God who loves me and fills my heart's every desire! I couldn't have dreamed up a better life. And just imagine the weddings to come for us with 3 little princesses!
Follow along, behind the scenes, on our crazy adventure on Instagram:
Days Gone Design was born as a result of my own wedding. Our invitations were almost as important to me as the dress! Since then, I have worked with hundreds of brides to help make their vision come to life. My work has a timeless aesthetic and yet, is also fresh and original. This unique approach encompasses your special event or business with gorgeous and memorable designs. We are small boutique, so you get personal attention from start to finish. Prompt response time and customer satisfaction are of the utmost importance.
While I find myself most absorbed in weddings, I also design logos & branding, party invitations, announcements and more.
To sum me up in a few words…
I ADORE the Lord and live by this verse:
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. -Psalm 37:4
I LOVE my handsome husband who supports my passion for design in every way – right down to the dirty dishes and laundry folding, when I can't get to it.
I would describe my style as VINTAGE and ROMANTIC yet CHIC
I am notorious for wearing HIGH HEELS on most occassions
I rock SHORT HAIR
I almost constantly have COFFEE on hand
"Some see the cup as half empty and some see it as half full;
either way, it's not going to be enough coffee" <3

Stay On Track With A Food Log
- By Susan Lacke
- Published Jan 14, 2014
- Updated Feb 21, 2014 at 3:20 PM UTC
Be Honest
Resist the urge to "forget" logging an unhealthy item. "Seriously, you aren't helping yourself if you don't enter everything that passes your lips," says Eley, "Add any condiments you use, liquids you drink (especially at happy hour) and what you partake in on the weekend."
Holding a mirror up to your habits — the good and the bad — is precisely why food logging works so well. If you are trying to lose weight, seeing the exact number of calories in your daily Starbucks run or post-ride pizza may cause you to consider healthier choices in the future. If you're struggling with GI distress during certain training efforts, your food logs may show a pattern of a certain food exacerbating symptoms.

Ed Miliband has urged the Government to commit to a 2030 de-carbonisation target, accusing ministers of "dithering" on climate change and "pandering to sceptics".
In a speech at a wind farm in Scotland, the Labour leader hit out at the Coalition for "throwing away" the opportunities presented by the green economy, as investors interested in technology "shut their wallets or go elsewhere".
"Since this Government came to power, investment in renewable energy hasn't gone up, it hasn't even stagnated - it has halved," said.
"David Cameron promised that this Government would be the greenest government ever. But this Government is not up to the task."
He called on the Prime Minister to include in the forthcoming energy bill a commitment to de-carbonisation targets in 2030, saying governments around the world are looking to the UK for leadership.
"That is what I would do if I was in Downing Street now and that is what this Prime Minister - who once flew halfway across Europe to hug a huskie - should do," added.
"We are not getting leadership from this Government in Westminster. All we get is dither and delay."

Thanks! And I totally agree. I was laughing and taking photos the whole time. (I admit, I was proud.) And they were mostly laughing, too, but you could tell that they could tell that OMG, he's a handful.
And I'll also admit that a small voice deep inside me was groaning and whimpering "Ohhh, how I wish we had health insurance." Heh.February 03, 2010

hehe my son who's 3 does the same thing. I went upstairs yesterday to switch over the laundry and was just in time to see him take a face dive off his bed. He cried for a second, then laughed and tried to climb back up. This is the same little boy who tried to jump off the top bunk of his sisters bunk beds. It's fun, it's scary.. I wish we had health insurance too because it's just a matter of time till we have a broken bone. I'm just sure of it. He's so fearless.

.-= Loralee´s last blog ..I should probably start off this post title with a warning telling you all that I have pretty much guzzled my weight in green cough syrup. Which, due to my non-drinking, Mormon upbringing and freakishly lightweight status means I am TOTALLY SLAMMED. So ya know…you have been warned n' stuff. I loathe grody green cough syrup. Because I pretty much think this stuff tastes like ass. Or worse than ass. IS there anything worse than that? Wait…I don't think I want to know that because really, tasting like ass is bad enough, thanks. MAN, does this stuff make you completely plowed. I think the Care Bears were here a minute ago. It also means that you don't give a freaking frig about, uh…ANYTHING. Which totally comes in handy for me right now.Though I should probably have figured out that I shouldn't go NEAR MY COMPUTER on any kind of mind altering substance. (I am quite enough sober, right?) but hey…it's fun. And this is a nice stress reliever since I am working on like, 5 posts and 5 projects all at once. It's nice to just throw something out there without being all anal and overthinking it all. Although I am probably going to have a killer case of posting regret in the morning. I hate computer regret. It sucks a duck. I need to learn to just just walk away from the computer. Or call a friend. Or eat an entire pie. I kinda think I vote for the pie because I have a fierce streak of phone anxiety. And the new phone I have has a touch pad keyboard and I suck at using it. I think that my extremities are too cold AND I have like, zero coordination and bad tech karma so I am pretty much screwed in this area. I mis-dial people ALL THE TIME ON IT.I swear I kept calling this Yak-tending Afghan dude one time when I was trying to order Chinese take out. Or maybe it was the right number and I just really suck at accents, who knows? Which reminds me, if I call my bank to get a new ATM card ONE MORE TIME and cannot understand what the HELL the person on the other line is saying I am going to go open up a firece can of "Utah Pioneer Stock WHOOPASS" on someone. For reals. I don't care that companies outsource but for the love of all that is holy I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND 1 of 5 WORDS THAT COME OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS, OK? And I was just kidding about the whole "Utah Pioneer Stock" thing. I am freakishly weak. It's a well known fact. Ask anyone. I also have a freakish hairline, which is only slightly less well known by people. And I am prone to cold sores when I am sick or under stress. Which is TOTALLY known by EVERYONE but people are polite and pretend to notice that I don't have a growth the size of Mt.Rushmore on my face. Right now I have one on my lip. It's awesome. And I am going to lunch in a few days with a total stranger. NOTHING says "GET TO KNOW ME!!!" like Herpes, right? Rad. Maybe I'll insist that we go to that Chinese place that I tried to call earlier and see if there are any Yak-tending Afghans in the region. I hope not. I don't have anything against Yaks, I just don't think that they are very sanitary, you know? I'd also hate for a local business to be shut down just because someone bitched about a stray Yak hair ruining their Too Wong Foo entree party (or whatever). It would make me cry. And I have cried too much tonight. Which I totally blame on aforementioned green cough syrup of ass. It tends to make me just a tad emotional and a liiiitttlllee bit off kilter. Which explains why I am crying my eyes out over the soundtrack of "Goodbye Mr. Chips" and contemplating streaking down my snow laden street in the middle of the night. Nah. That just sounds like too much effort and I hate the cold. Dude just thinking about going outside nekkid right now is making my girly bits write letters of protest. Watch, so I will be getting a stern letter of censure from the UN. Not that the UN would take an expressed intrest in my girlie bits. It might cause outrage and lead to centure from…uh…wait….who centures the UN when they are in need of a sternly worded letter? I have no clue. I have no clue about a great MANY things. Like why THE HELL I still watch "Lost". I swear that show exists PURELY TO MAKE MY HEAD EXPLODE WEEKLY. It's like that bad boyfriend that you know makes you miserable but you just cannot walk away from. Just watch. The end is going to have Jack and Sawyer giving in to their pent up, frustrated man-love and getting married (Woot! Gay rights! Yay!) Kate will start making her own line of cuff jewelery with that ditzy,evitcted housewife from "Real Housewives: OC" and Sun will deliver her baby. Only it's black and is the love child of that totally hot religous/drug-dealing guy that died in Season Two.The fact that she had a 4 year pregnancy is EASILY explained by that Jacob guy that is older than Jesus's sandles only you have to go snorkle in a pond of Jello pudding and grab a purple lily pad on the bottom with the number 3 etched on it in ancient Arabic before he will tell you. Then the island explodes. The End. Now, I know that leaves I few loose ends. Like I know all of you want to know WTF Claire always looked fresh as a daisy but Kate looked like she wrestled daily with a pack of dirty bikers to get a buck for the payphone but too bad so sad…some mysteries on that island are just too much for the human mind to wrap itself around. Kind of like this post. Dude, I SHOULD have been a writer for Lost, right? Maybe I can submit this post as part of my portfolio of why they should accept me to prove that I can write things that MAKE NO FREAKING SENSE AT ALL! Will you all vote for me if I put a glittery badge on my site? Or ads? What if I took out an ad petitioning for a spot? No? You are already overexposed by that freaking mom and her freaking secrets about tooth whitening? Yeah. Me, too. In fact, if I see one more ad or Tweet about it I WILL hunt her down and throttle her for the eleventyhundred forks she has made me want to stick in my eye. Talk about over kill. Kind of like this entire post. Or post title. Whatever. Either way, I should wrap up. I'm tired and want to go to sleep for a eleventyhundred years. Which I think this stuff is totally capebable of making happen. Which means, in conclusion, that though it pretty much tastes like ass… =-.

Bullish Percent Indicators Show Markets Continue to Weaken
Bullish Percent Indicators (BPI) provide us with a broad look at large index and sector movements for the U.S. Equities market. While I do not use either the index or sector tables as trading tools, I do watch them for general market trends and as guides to determing when the market is over bought or over sold. Right now the market is over bought and weakening.
Index BPI: One significant move this week shows up as the NYSE transferred the ball from the offensive team (X's in right-hand column) to the defense (O's in the right-hand column). In addition, with a 69.49% rating the NYSE moved out of the over bought zone. The move was not major, but sufficient to show weakening continues. The S&P 500 also showed movement from offense to defense. However, the S&P 100 actually picked up one stock as the percentage moved from 78% to 79%. Once more, Platinum members should keep an eye on NYSE, the primary index.
Sector BPI: What are the trends of market sectors? The following table of market sectors shows Discretionary and Energy moving out of the over bought zone. This brings to nine the number of sectors that are now in the hands of defensive teams. While one does not like to witness a declining market, these moves are a healthy correction to an over bought situation.
Readers who have been following The Feynman Study and subsequent ETF rankings are well aware of declining momentum in nearly all asset classes. There are a few exceptions such as gold and commodities, but the primary U.S. Equity asset classes are showing negative momentum percentages. The Point and Figure (PnF) data from market sectors and broad market indexes paint the same picture.
Basic Portfolio Update: Changes in Momentum
As the market rotates from day to day, changes will show up in any portfolio if one is following the "Dynamic" plus SHY model. If you are new to the blog and do not know what I am referring to, be sure to read The Feynman Study. For example, yesterday there were only two viable ETFs that were outperforming the SHY, our cutoff ETF. As mentioned in a comment, only VBK and VTV were ranked above SHY. Using closing figures yesterday, what are the latest results? See first screenshot below.
One of the principle reasons for not updating any portfolio more than once every 33 days is to avoid a lot of whipsaws. Many of you may not want to update your portfolio more than once every quarter. Even then, I would not always update exactly at the end of the quarter, but set up a tickler on your calendar to update – say every 85 or 95 days so the rotation happens at different times of the month.
If you are monitoring your portfolio using the TLH Spreadsheet you want to keep a few shares in each of the critical asset classes. As a review, here are those critical asset classes and associated ETFs.
- U.S. Equities – VTI
- Bonds and Income – BND or AGG
- Developed International Markets – VEU or VEA
- Domestic Real Estate – VNQ
- Emerging Markets – VWO
- Commodities – DBC
- International Real Estate – RWX
- International Bonds – BWX or PCY
- Precious Metals – GLD
- Cash – SHY
Several ETFs do not precisely fit the definition of the asset class, but they are close enough for "government work." If you are client of a discount broker other than TDAmeritrade (the firm I use) then seek out your own reference ETFs. The above are only provided as examples and all are commission free from TDAmeritrade with exception of GLD. In each portfolio I want to hold a few shares in each of the above asset classes so I can continue to calculate the ITA Index.
ETF Rankings: The up market yesterday was sufficient to push VBR, VOE, and VTI back above the performance of SHY. If the market stays up today it will impact the ETFs to include in the Gauss – scheduled for an update tomorrow. Note that SDS and GLD are no longer dragging along the bottom. Remember that we use SDS as our "canary in the portfolio" ETF and will rarely, if ever, include it in a portfolio.
Buy-Hold-Sell Recommendations: If this is a $100,000 portfolio with $5,000 in cash, we will hold 277 or 275 shares of VTI, 185 shares of VTV, 64 or 60 shares of VOE, 10 shares of VBR, and 25 shares of VBK. I round down to the nearest 5 shares as I want available cash to invest in the ETFs need to cover every basic asset class listed above. The number of shares comes from the optimizer recommendations. We are waiting for results from a study that will focus on momentum. We hope to present that data within the next few weeks so keep abreast of The Feynman Study as new articles appear.
The process is quite simple. Select your basic set of ETFs, run the optimizer, check the rankings for ETFs performing above SHY, and then buy the number of shares based on the optimizer recommendations. If just starting a portfolio, buy fewer shares than max out the size of the portfolio. In a few months the number of shares to purchase every 33 days or the review period you choose, will smooth out. If you are still uncertain what to do, follow the process when I update the Gauss portfolio tomorrow.
$100,000 Starter Portfolio
For prospective investors just beginning a portfolio, here is a sample based on the Momentum-Optimization Model (MOM). MOM is discussed elsewhere on this blog. Just search to full title or MOM to find this material.
We first begin with a ranking of all the securities we might consider for our holdings. This includes approximately 30 ETFs. Most are commission free to clients of TDAmeritrade. While I use TDA as a discount broker, I have not other connections with this firm.
ETF Rankings: Pay particular attention to ETFs that rank higher than VTI as one can consider that to be a benchmark for the U.S. Equities market.
Buy-Hold-Sell Recommendations: Few changes in the portfolio are necessary as I set it up to reflect an asset allocation plan that is very close to an optimized portfolio. If you are beginning with a $10,000 portfolio just divide the holding by 10 to come close to an optimized portfolio.
Note that I am not holding any ETF that is priced below its 195-Day Exponential Moving Average. As the eleven (11) portfolios tracked here at ITA Wealth Management come up for review, watch how the MOM plan is implemented. We will not be using MOM with the Schrodinger portfolio.
Customized Benchmark: What Is Required To Calculate The ITA Index?
Long-time readers know the importance of benchmarking a portfolio, but some investors may not know what is required to calculate the ITA Index. Understanding how to use the TLH Spreadsheet is at the core of calculating the ITA Index. Assume you are constructing a portfolio using sixteen different classes. Here is a list similar to what I use in nearly every portfolio. I've included the critical ticker for each asset class.
- Large-Cap Blend (VTI)
- Large-Cap Value (VTV)
- Mid-Cap Value (VOE)
- Small-Cap Value (VBR)
- Large-Cap Growth (VUG)
- Mid-Cap Growth (VOT)
- Small-Cap Growth (VBK)
- Bonds and Income (BND)
- Developed International Markets (VEU)
- Emerging Markets (VWO)
- U.S. Real Estate (VNQ)
- International Real Estate (RWX)
- Commodities (DBC)
- International Bonds (BWX or PCY)
- Precious Metals (GTU or GLD)
- Cash
All of these Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) with exception of DBC, GTU, and GLD are commission free if you are a client with TDAmeritrade. Otherwise the commission is $7.00 per trade. Be sure to negotiate with TDAmeritrade for the $7.00 rate as that is not automatic. At least it was not a few years ago. If you are with Fidelity or another discount broker, select commission free ETFs that represent the asset classes you want to include in your portfolio.
After you determine the asset classes to include in the portfolio, invest 5 shares in each of the above sixteen (16) ETFs. Once this is accomplished you are ready to begin a calculation of the ITA Index, provided you know how to use the TLH Spreadsheet. Platinum members have access to a number of "Camtasia" audio/video help sessions. If there is something you don't understand or I was not complete in one of the "Camtasia" sessions, I will develop a new "Camtasia" to help you over the hump.
For more information on the importance of benchmarking a portfolio, go over to the right-hand sidebar and under Categories select the option, Benchmarks. You will find a number of posts on this important, but frequently neglected, topic.
Sample Portfolio For Fidelity Clients
The following portfolio represents a sample of commission free ETFs available through Fidelity. The efficient frontier shows an asset allocation plan that is so close to an optimized portfolio that the diamond and red dots are no different on the graph.
Efficient Frontier: The indicator for the optimum portfolio lies behind the diamond dot. The Return/Risk ratio is just a bit over 0.5, quite a common value when running the numbers through the Momentum-Optimization analyzer.
Rankings: Here we have the ranking of the suggested ETFs. I failed to include VTI as a reference ETF. As one can easily see, most of these ETFs are currently priced above all three EMAs. This is a sign of a stock market that is performing very well.
Buy-Hold-Sell Recommendations: The recommendations are highly dependent on the cash available and the size of the portfolio. Do not take the buy and sell numbers as absolute values. This is strictly a sample portfolio. For a more precise description of how to handle a portfolio wait for the update of the Kepler Portfolio, due this Friday.
Where To Begin If You Have Never Managed A Portfolio
If someone asked you what to do with an inheritance or 401(k) sum of money, what advice would you give them? Here are some basic ideas for a novice investor.
- Assume the money is in your checking account and available to be invested.
- Open up a broker account with a discount broker. For example, go to a "bricks and mortar" location if possible and fill out the forms. A good idea is to print out the forms in advance and fill them out at home. Then take the forms into the broker (TDAmeritrade for example) and have them look over the forms to make sure everything is accurate.
- If you are a couple, set up separate accounts for each person. I think it is wise to keep investment portfolios separate.
- Invest the minimum amount in each account. If there is no minimum, begin with a minimum of at least $1,000 in each account. Another option is to place all the available money in a money market account so it is available for investing. If the money is coming from an inheritance, invest the money in a taxable account. If the money is coming from a tax deferred account, and you can set up a self-directed IRA account, do that.
- With the market as high as it now is, I certainly would not invest everything in the stock market. Be patient. Take any where from six months to two years to fully invest the money. The time will depend on the amount of money to invest. There is nothing quite so discouraging as to loose money right out of the starting blocks.
- By all means, use index funds or index ETFs rather than trying to select individual stocks.
- At this point I would select one of the ITA portfolios to follow on this blog.
- Begin an investing education program by reading some of the Top Ten Investment Books.
Coming back to the original question, what advice would you pass on to the novice investor?
My Portfolio Is Performing Great. Really? How Do You Know?
One comment I frequently hear when folks talk about investments is the following. "My portfolio is performing great." This statement conjures up questions I rarely ask as it tends to put the investor on the spot. Here are a few question that run through my mind.
- Performing great with respect to what?
- When was the portfolio launched?
- Is the portfolio return calculated by an acceptable method?
- Is there a benchmark for the portfolio and if so, what is it?
- Is the benchmark appropriate for the portfolio?
- What risk is involved and how is the risk measured?
Nearly fifteen years ago I was involved in an interesting Internet discussion where the author of an investment book and associated software made the claim as follows. If one followed the advice of his software one could reach an annualized return of 15% per year. Rather a heady statement. One needs to recall this discussion began in the late 1990s when the U.S. Equities market was particularly hot.
As an owner of this software I was interested in the claim and took up the challenge. I agreed to set up a portfolio of no trivial amount and I would precisely follow the signals of the software program for five years as the portfolio should double over that period. The bet was accepted. I figured I was a winner both ways. If the portfolio doubled, I could easily afford to pay off as a loser and if the portfolio did not meet the 15% annualized return, I would win the bet. As it turned out, I won the bet as the software program fell short of returning 15% per year, but the portfolio actually outperformed both the VTSMX and VFINX index funds, the two used as benchmarks for this portfolio.
While I had several commercial programs available to track the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the portfolio, none of these programs had the capability of tracking a benchmark such as the S&P 500 (VFINX) or the total U.S. Equities market (VTSMX). While one commercial program claimed to accurately track an index such as the VTSMX, I was able to show that the program did not correctly track cash flowing in and out of the portfolio. Two other commercial programs paid no attention to benchmarks. Tracking the performance of a portfolio without an acceptable benchmark is akin to high jumping without a bar.
The discussion and debate over performance and doubling the portfolio in five years was taking place over the Internet and as a result a commercial portfolio tracking company took up the challenge to develop several benchmarks one could use to track portfolios. They got it right.
In addition to the commercial company getting involved, a bright Excel programmer coded a spreadsheet that eventually evolved into the TLH Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet calculates both portfolio performance (tested for accuracy against three commercial programs), four benchmarks, and includes several portfolio risk calculations. One of the benchmarks (ITA Index) is customized to the strategic asset allocation plan for the portfolio.
To understand what is meant by "my portfolio is doing great" one needs to consider a number of questions and it involves more than just avoiding loss of money, although that too is very important.
PS Without benchmarking we would not have a clue as to how well the Momentum-Optimization Model is working.
Mebane Faber's New e-Book – Shareholder Yield
Those reader's who have read Faber & Richardson's book "The Ivy Portfolio" might be interested in downloading Faber's new book – "Shareholder Yield". It's a bit of a marketing tool for his new ETF but the price is right – it's free for the next 5 days - and there's some interesting information in it.
If I Were Starting A New Portfolio Today
What would a portfolio look like if I were starting from scratch today? Here are a few basic principles to consider before making the initial Strategic Asset Allocation decision.
- Begin by using index funds or index ETFs. My preference, as Platinum members well know, is to use "non-managed" index ETFs. Yes, someone needs to make a decision what goes into the ETF, but for practical purposes the Vanguard and iShares ETFs can be considered to be non-managed index Exchange Traded Funds.
- Include a minimum of 10 to 12 asset classes. This does not mean one will be invested in all asset classes at all times.
- Asset classes will include U.S. Equities, Developed International Markets, Emerging Markets, U.S. REITs, International REITs, Precious Metals, U.S. Bonds, International Bonds, Commodities, and Cash.
- Break the U.S. Equities Market up into different cap sizes, value, and growth asset classes.
- Consider adding sector ETFs provided they rank higher than the U.S. Equities (VTI) standard.
- Consider adding dividend oriented ETFs such as VIG, DVY, and IDV as potential investments.
- Understand how to use either the ITA Risk Reduction model or the Momentum-Optimization Model to hold down portfolio volatility.
The following array of ETFs are a starting point for investors. Many of the ETFs can be purchased commission free if one is a TDAmeritrade client. Other discount brokers provide many commission free ETFs so do your own research in this area. Controlling costs makes a huge difference over a lifetime of investing.
Rankings: The 31 ETFs selected for this "Starter" Portfolio are ranked below. In future blog entries I'll likely try to narrow the options down to 25 as it takes a long time to run the analysis on a list this long. The Buy-Hold-Sell recommendations trigger off this ranking data table.
Efficient Frontier: The follow graph paints a quick picture of the Return/Risk ratio for the Starter Portfolio. Minor adjustments in the asset allocation plan moved the current portfolio a small amount from the former or saved portfolio (blue dot).
Buy-Hold-Sell Recommendations: This portfolio was set up following the optimizer with no consideration given to the momentum factor. If one were following the ITA Risk Reduction model we would sell VWO and DBC. Note how few ETFs are recommended when the price of the ETF drops below its 195-Day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
The best buying opportunities are those ETFs with a Buy signal showing up in the far right column.

COPIAPÓ, Chile – Bernardo Córdova has a goal.
Córdova launched a signature campaign to make Copiapó the permanent home of the Fénix 2 capsule, used to rescue the 33 trapped miners on Oct. 13.
"The rescue happened here, therefore the original capsule should stay here," said Córdova, who started campaigning at the rescue site with a hand-written poster.
Córdova, who lives in Rancagua, 87 kilometers (54 miles) south of Santiago, went to the San José gold and copper mine on Aug. 20, 15 days after the news of the cave-in was reported. He resided in a tent at Camp Esperanza, where he supported the miners' families during the 10-week rescue.
"VI Región is present for the miners of Copiapó," his poster read then, referring to the Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins Region, one of the country's 15 regions.
Córdova, a 69 year-old retired miner, works as a potter and plumber, since his monthly $45,000 pesos (US$93) pension isn't enough for him to make a living, he said.
This is not the first time Córdova, who wore a miner's hardhat with his name inscribed on it, along with a Facebook logo, used his creativity to launch a massive campaign.
Eight years ago, he crafted posters to protest corrupt officials, causing him to earn the nickname "poster man."
Córdova, who has been married to Pilar for 38 years, moved to downtown Copiapó and set up in the Plaza de Armas to collect signatures after the unprecedented rescue.
He also had spent time during the campaign residing at the home of one of his five children, Lorena, 33, and at the Hogar de Cristo foundation.
He said Copiapó's mayor gave him $40,000 pesos (US$82) to cover daily expenses, meals and transportation costs back to Rancagua.
Córdova said he had about 9,800 signatures before heading home Oct. 23.
"The Fénix 2 is ours and no one else's," said Luis Naranjo, a 56 year-old miner who lives in Copiapó, as he added his name to the list of signatures in one of the books that Córdova said he will give to President Sebastián Piñera to request that the "epic trophy" return to its place of origin.
Yuvitza Osorio Muñoz, regional counsel for Culture and the Arts in the Atacama Region, said Córdova's goal is good for Copiapó.
"If the (Fénix 2) capsule stays in our city, we could have a very relevant tourist attraction," Osorio said.
The regional counsel already has filled out the necessary paperwork to set up a temporary museum with objects that were used in Camp Esperanza and during the rescue. In two salons of Copiapó's Culture House, letters, flags, foreign press credentials, videos and pots are exhibited.
"We are looking for a bigger space to put all the things, and of course, the Fénix 2 capsule as well, in a permanent place," Osorio said.
The Fénix 2 is being exhibited in front of Chile's presidential palace in Santiago, until Oct. 25, when the 33 miners meet Sebastián Piñera before playing a friendly soccer match against government officials at Chile's national stadium.
Gianni Delpero, regional director of tourism for the Atacama Region, said it would be beneficial to have the Fénix 2 capsule in Copiapó, since it would help spur tourism.
Delpero said he hopes the number of visitors to Copiapó increases this year after the city hosted 61,063 tourists, including 4,422 foreigners, in 2009.
The residents of Copiapó, a city of 129,000, are happy the Fénix 3 capsule, which was not used in the rescue, but was built with the same features of the Fénix 1 and Fénix 2, is being showcased in their city.
The Fénix 1 is being exhibited at the 2010 Expo in Shanghai, China, and the Fénix 2 will be taken on a tour through the nation's main cities.
Mining Minister Laurence Golborne told residents of Copiapó he will try to make arrangements for the Fénix 2 to be brought back, but Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter said the capsule doesn't belong to Copiapó.
It belongs to future generations.
"No matter what [Hinzpeter] says, the Fénix 2 has to stay here," Córdova said.
