User Question:

I run a portfolio relative strength backtest with 5 ETF but all are assigned an equal weight of 20%. How can I assign different weights to the ranked ETFs? Example: Top 5 Weighted as 30%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 10% respectively."

Answer:

For this you would use the Advanced Relative Strength Backtest Module (subscriber link).

By layering the strategies using different numbers of selections while at the same time using the same ETF list, you can create weightings based on Rank.

Note that the top ranked security in this portfolio list would receive 10% from portfolio 1, 10% from portfolio 2 and 10% from portfolio 3. The backtest report combines weights and it becomes simply 30% for the top ranked ETF. The backtest will appropriately rotate the 30% weight to the top ranked security and likewise for the other ETFs. Dive into the backtest report to see all the breakdown of sub-periods and the weightings of each ETF and its contribution to return for that period.

One of the more entertaining things we've read about is how Robo advisers have some type of special algorithm for asset allocation. This is nonsense. As you can see from the chart below, using the 13F SEC filed holdings of a major Robo Adviser, the return path is essentially identical to another popular allocation fund in our database. These funds all are using the same basic asset allocation --- the line about having a special algorithm is just for marketing purposes.

Note that the Robo 13F portfolio has not included the adviser fees -- but does include the underlying fund fees. Subtract the adviser fee from the 13F return to get the adjusted figure.

We wonder how many investors possibly understand this extremely simple concept. ETFs do NOT HAVE SHARE CLASSES. Mutual funds have share classes for one reason -- to make more fees for the fund company and brokers.

Below is image highlighting the tradeoff in 2 classes of Janus Unconstrained Bond Fund. Bill Gross the manager just manages one large sum and probably doesn't even look to see which share class has the assets --- it doesn't matter to him, he just buys and sells bonds for the aggregate portfolio. But for investors, the fund is divided into segments.

In this case, you could go with Class A shares which have a 4.75% sales front load fee and an expense ratio of 1.08%. Or you could buy Class C shares and pay no front load --- but pay a 1.83% expense ratio and owe 1.00% as a back load --- when you sell it you are stuck an extra 1%.

Now think about it from a brokers perspective. Which do you want your clients to buy? If you have incentives to push load funds, perhaps you stick your clients with the A shares because your firm gets that juicy 4.75% upfront fee. However, note the 12b1 fees. Class A has a 0.25% 12b1 and Class C has a 1.00% 12b1 fee. What is a 12b1 fee? It's an ongoing kickback from the fund company to any outside broker who puts their clients in that fund. So for example, you are a broker that works for a company that is not Janus --- Janus will pay you an ongoing fee forever to keep your clients in it. That fee is IN ADDITION TO whatever management fee you charge your clients. The great part about 12b1's is that they are hidden!

Do ETFs have 12b1 fees? Nope. So doesn't that make you wonder, why would a broker ever put a client in an ETF when they can earn 1.00% forever from Janus? The problem with those silly ETFs is that how do you make any money off them? Exactly. This is the very essence of the problem. Yet ETF assets continue to grow and grow and grow. How is that? Because many investment advisors are content with simply charging a straightforward fee and do the right thing and don't buy fees with loads and 12b1's. Fees like 12b1 fees have been totally outlawed in other countries as too much of a conflict of interest. But not in the USA.

That all said, Janus C shares might be a RELATIVE bargain compared to many hedge funds. Happy investing.

When you study finance, you have to first learn the basic fundamentals of portfolio theory. When you eventually move to real life, you quickly realize how theory is only a starting point. Nevertheless, it is useful to know the "book theory" because it provides something of a very basic framework. That said, in the words of the great investor Mike Tyson "Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth." First, here is the look of a list of ETFs that climb up the risk curve.

Note that this was posted on this given date covering this very specific time period. Using those precise assumptions, the book theory held up nearly perfectly -- a line going from lower left to upper right --- more return for more risk. But you have to remember --- that was using some very careful selections. Here is an example of a different time period where equity investors were punched in the mouth, Tyson-style:

The point is that the volatile ETFs that are towards the right side of the chart will be the ones to have large intermediate-term drawdowns and large intermediate-term returns. The ETFs on the left side will have low drawdowns and low returns. These are very generic ETFs. Where this gets much more interesting is when you use other ETFs that track more interesting indices.

ETF investors in the top 100 exchange-traded products made +$136 billion in 2013. Actually, they made more than that if you count inflows -- but we calculate the ETFreplay 100 by locking in starting assets as this captures the big themes quite well.

We began the ETFreplay 100 project a year ago to try to show a proxy for how investors are ACTUALLY doing. The fact of the matter is that most people with wealth do not hold just 1 type of investment -- they own a portfolio and that portfolio consists of more than just US Stocks and Bonds. There is no universally accepted benchmark -- nor should there be -- your individual benchmark is dependent on various factors that differ: ie, your age, your risk tolerance, your liquidity needs, your time-horizon etc...

So investors in reality own an allocation of different assets that hopefully corresponds to their profile. What we do with the ETF 100 is aggregate all those by using ETF asset levels and then monitoring that total return performance over time. The $136 billion in profits equates to a +12.7% total return for the year.

Learning to ignore all the noise on financial TV and twitter about INDIVIDUAL investments and instead focusing in your own process is extremely important. Differentiate between what 'sounds good' as a one-liner on TV or a blog vs what actually matters -- your PORTFOLIO total return. In the end, the only question that actually matters is --- did you make progress against your financial goals?

The ETFreplay 100 covers well OVER $1 trillion in assets. US Stocks were the star performers in 2013. Below summarizes the results and the most significant contributors and detractors for the year:

For a side comparison, we compare the results to the most watched hedge fund benchmark:

Total return measures capital appreciation AND the return associated with dividends (and any other distributions -- such as capital gains distributions). It is always surprising how many emails we receive saying our numbers are incorrect because people compare the year-end SPY price to the previous year-end. That is INCORRECT. The correct TOTAL RETURN for 2013 for SPY was +32.3%. That is +2.6% higher than the price return. For ETF's with higher yields -- (and/or for those with cap gains distributions) -- this difference will be higher.

Over a few years, this difference really adds up to be a substantial amount.

How are investors as a whole doing in 2013? If you think the U.S. investment world owns a lot of large-cap U.S. stocks, you would be right. However, if you think that is ALL there is to it -- you would be wrong. There are large amounts of capital invested internationally (Europe, Asia, Pacific) and in non-equity markets (bonds, preferreds, MLPs, REITs etc...). This reality is why we run the numbers for the ETFreplay 100 -- because it is a much better proxy for how real-world investors are doing than tracking a single asset like the S&P 500, which is just not the best proxy for how investors are allocated.

To give a little perspective, Exchange Traded Products (only those that trade on the US exchanges) reached $1.57 trillion in assets in September of 2013:

ETF investors in the top 100 (in assets) taken as a whole started the year with $1.07 trillion and on that base have made approximately +$75 billion (+7.0%) in 2013. That is, if you held all the asset classes in the same proportions as the amounts actually invested with REAL dollars by investors in ETFs, your YTD total return is +7.0%. Note that this figure INCLUDES the fees (expense ratios) of the products -- which are automatically removed from the funds and are reflected in total return.

September saw a strong outperformance by international stocks. The largest International ETF (EFA) rallied +7.8% in September, which was +460 basis pts (+4.6%) better than the S&P 500. Brazil (EWZ), an emerging market, rallied +13.0% in September. Precious metals and precious metals stocks have been a terrible investment in 2013. Investors have lost over -$25 billion in the largest 5 ETFs in this segment (GLD, SLV, IAU, GDX & GDXJ).

Many people might see the performance of the ETFreplay 100 at +7.0% YTD and think that is a bad number. However, it should not be viewed as good or bad --- it should be viewed as simply the reality of achieved investor market returns. Moreover, the ETFreplay 100 returned +5.4% for the third quarter of 2013 -- and that is +430 basis pts (+4.3%) better than the primary hedge fund index (HFRX Global), which returned just +1.1% in Q3.

Keep in mind, if you are comparing a portfolio of ONLY U.S. stocks to the S&P 500 (as mutual funds report), that is a useful comparison. But if you are comparing a portfolio of many assets to the S&P 500, that is an apples to oranges comparison. Even most of the purest index fund advisers that parade the media are they themselves materially underperforming the S&P 500 -- precisely because they are not fully invested in specifically the S&P 500 index. The term 'index investor' should never be considered the equivalent of '100% invested in the S&P 500'.

As described in a preprint announcement post we are now hard at work on analyzing the evolutionary process of B cell molecular evolution that is continuously happening within each of us. I'm happy (relieved!) to report that we were recently awarded a grant through the DMS/NIGMS Interface program program to pursue this work, joint with brilliant co-investigators Trevor Bedford, Vladimir Minin, and Harlan Robins. Now, to work!
We got exceedingly lucky recently. Just as Connor and Chris Small were getting ready to leave, a programmer named Chris Warth was moving on from Marty McIntosh's group and came knocking on our door. After some initial work together, it became clear that Chris was going to be a great fit. Chris has had a long history in computing, including as part of the group of five programmers that developed the Java programming language at Sun while it was still called Oak. After moving around the tech industry for a while, he spent a stint as a farmer and then decided to take up biology.
Chris is a real pleasure to have in the group. He is, of course, an excellent programmer, but also both knowledgeable and very curious about biology. So far he has taken over the work that... (full post)
Connor McCoy has been with me almost since the beginning, and his abilities and knowledge have been critical for much of the applied and theoretical work the group has done since its inception. He will be joining Google Seattle to work on Google Compute Engine.
Chris Small has been with us for about two and a half years, and has driven forward our joint work with Maxine Linial and Lisa Jones-Engel on Simian Foamy Virus (and soon Astroviruses!) and the associated methods development. He will be transferring in a month to work full time on his startup pol.is which was recently highlighted on GeekWire.
Our department head Marty McIntosh has very generously traded offices with us, and so our new office is about twice as big as the old, and has windows on two sides. Thanks, Marty!
The Bayesian approach to phylogenetics enables, in principle, sampling from the posterior distribution on phylogenetic trees and parameters given some data and a prior. Some wonderful research in phylogenetics been done using this Bayesian perspective, and it allows to estimate the quantities we care about in a rigorous framework. In order to get posteriors on trees and parameters, it is common to use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), which is a method for setting up a simulation such that the amount of time spent in a given state is proportional to its posterior probability (if you haven't read the original article suggesting the method I recommend taking a look).
However, we can only be sure that we are getting a good posterior probability estimate if we run the MCMC algorithm for an infinite time. We... (full post)
Over the past year we've started in on a completely new research direction, which concerns B cells, the cells that make antibodies. Antibodies have to be able to bind a very large number of different molecules in order to neutralize pathogens or to mark them for destruction. As part of improving their binding for a given antigen they go through an evolutionary process of mutation (yes, the human genome mutating itself on purpose!) and then selection, whereby B cells producing antibodies that bind well to antigen but not well to self are allowed to multiply. It's now possible to sequence the DNA or the RNA that determines the shape and binding properties of these antibodies in high throughput. In short, B cell "affinity maturation" is a molecular evolutionary system that evolves very quickly, and one for which data has been... (full post)
Duncan Ralph has just joined as a postdoc in our group. Duncan came to us from MIT, where he got his PhD working on the Large Hadron Collider experiment at CERN in Switzerland. For that work, he improved statistical analysis of the large-scale data coming out of that experiment. With us he will also be working on statistical analysis of large-scale data, but this time it's sequencing data of B cell receptors.

Our fourth paper coming from our collaboration with Lisa Jones-Engel and Maxine Linial has come out. This paper shows that the human restriction factor APOBEC3G acts (perhaps along with other restriction factors) to protect us from extensive replication of SFV in vivo by inducing G to A mutations in SFV genomes. We see extensive and strong hypermutation in human host SFV sequences that we don't see in the monkey host SFV sequences, and we also see a different pattern of nucleotide context preference. Among other things, this is the first (although indirect) evidence that SFV undergoes at least one round of replication in zoonotically infected humans.

I just picked up Kill Bill's The Bride and Go Go. I'm debating if I should get any of the Batman: Hush figures. They do look awsome.
I just picked up the poison ivy one... she does not stand very well on her stand but she does look cool. I'm waiting for series two of this series for Nightwing *drools*
I also picked up some hero clix... my fiancee finally got me into the game xd
Forget that, series 2 is gonna have Harley Quinn. heart wink
She looks pretty sweet too. I picked up a Harley Quinn from another Batman Series of figures that's out... it has japanese characters on the box... but it's mostly english... don't know what the series is called but the Joker in that series looks mint! Much better than the one in the Hush line. I want to get the Joker, Batman and Robin to finish that set off and I'm contemplating getting the Batman Hush complete set since I don't really care much for Huntress, I don't like the way the Joker looks and I don't know a thing about Hush sweatdrop

We also take a trip to the set of 'V' to talk more with Stars Logan Huffman and Elizabeth Mitchell where we get insight of what its like to work with Jane. All this as well as more Marvel vs Capcom 3 fights, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and finally Jace and Todd crash IGN.com's Daily Fix hosted by Jessica Chobot. We hear the restraining order has already gone into effect.
Jace and the crew are in Las Vegas for Sony Online Entertainment's annual Fan Faire celebration where we meet a very impulsive (drunk?) Shadow Knight Froglok. Back on Stargate Universe's 'Destiny' ship, the V queen, Jane Badler has taken her rightful seat which is now causing issues for Jace along with the SG:U and V casts. The IGN offices are no safe haven for Jace and Todd either as its time for a shakedown while we learn the best way to ensure an unbiased score is to not play the game being reviewed. All this and more, only on. The Jace Hall Show!

Airline stocks in the US recovered lost ground after tumbling in the aftermath of the shooting down of a passenger plane over troubled eastern Ukraine.
The New York Stock Exchange's ARCA Airline Index climbed by more than 1% in early trading on 18 July, while the Dow Jones US Airlines Index lifted by more than 2%, largely erasing the previous day's losses.
Malaysia Airlines shares, whose Boeing 777 plane was taken down, had lost more than 11% in the day's trading on the Bursa Malays exchange. They had already suffered a significant loss in value after another plane, known as MH370, went missing over the Indian Ocean in March 2014.
It is believed that in the latest tragedy flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down near Donetsk in Ukraine by a Russian separatist group called the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), which is battling for independence from the Ukrainian government.
Several Ukrainian military planes have been shot down by surface-to-air missiles in the area during recent months as the conflict grinds on. DPR denies responsibility, instead pointing the blame at the Ukrainian government.
But the US and Ukraine governments have both said they have seen evidence to believe that the Russian separatists are behind the incident, which left 298 people dead, many of them children. Some reports suggest the military equipment used came from over the border in Russia.

As production in the United States evolves to include more machines, programming, and robots, will that have a negative long-term impact on unemployment? Economist Greg Clark says yes, and recent evidence suggests that it may already be happening.
From Economist Gregory Clark's op-ed in the Washington Post:
No, the economic problems of the future will not be about growth but about something more nettlesome: the ineluctable increase in the number of people with no marketable skills, and technology's role not as the antidote to social conflict, but as its instigator....
For much of the past 200 years, unskilled workers benefited greatly from capitalism. Before the Industrial Revolution, for example, skilled construction workers earned 50 to 100 percent more than unskilled laborers; today, that premium has fallen to 33 percent in the United States. The era of the two world wars, 1914 to 1945, was one of particularly sharp gains for the wages of unskilled workers, relative to the rest. Why have the unskilled fared so well? After all, machines -- whether steam engines, internal combustion engines or electric motors -- have replaced people as deliverers of brute force...
But in more recent decades, when average U.S. incomes roughly doubled, there has been little gain in the real earnings of the unskilled. And, more darkly, computer advances suggest these redoubts of human skill will sooner or later fall to machines. We may have already reached the historical peak in the earning power of low-skilled workers, and may look back on the mid-20th century as the great era of the common man.
A couple of things.
Robot Dystopia
Let's start this off with a quote from one of my favorite movies, the film-essay documentary Los Angeles Plays Itself. It's a movie about cinema and representations of urban spaces that is made entirely of clips of movies set in Los Angeles with a narration over it describing how those movies both represent and inform our visions of Los Angeles and the larger country. During the scenes where the narrator discusses the movie Blade Runner (1982) and the sexy killer human-impersonating robot played by Daryl Hannah, he makes this important point:
Perhaps [Blade Runner] expresses a nostalgia for a dystopian vision of the future that has become outdated. This vision offered some consolation, because it was at least sublime. Now the future looks brighter, hotter and blander. Buffalo will become Miami, and Los Angeles will become Death Valley at least until the rising ocean tides wipe it away. Computers will get faster, and we will get slower. There will be plenty of progress, but few of us will be any better off or happier for it. Robots won't be sexy or dangerous, they'll be dull and efficient and they'll take our jobs.
I like the point that our imagination of a robot dystopia being either sexy-dangerous and/or thrilling protects us from a currently unfolding reality. Perhaps we want to think of robots as shapeshifting liquid-metal assassins who travel through time to kill us while we are still rebellious teenagers, or blonde bombshells in red dresses who want to seduce us to steal the military codes so they can nuke the colonies, precisely because that vision is more comforting than the reality that machines are fairly boring bits of code that will generally replace our jobs, depress our wages, and bleed our 401(k)s in ways that are largely invisible to us.
Structural Shifts
The issue of a future in which there are large parts of the economy that are underemployed, unemployed, or unemployable is a serious issue. And the data already suggests this:
(source) Notice how after the last recession in 2001 the number shifted upwards. The boom year of 2006 have an additional 5% long-term unemployed than the boom years of 1998. If you go back even further in that graph, to the 1960s, you see an even larger structural shifts upwards. Here's University of Chicago Economist Kevin Murphy thinking through this issue.
It's difficult to look at, for example, the very low unemployment rates we saw in the early 2000s and say that represented an economy in which everyone was working. Unemployment rates were at roughly the same level that they were in the late 1960s, but if you look at prime-age males, the fraction actually working who were, say, 30 to 40 years old was quite a bit lower in 2001 because there was a big increase in the number who were out of the labor force in that age category...It was primarily low-skilled workers who had withdrawn from the labor market...the opportunities in the labor market for low-skilled workers had deteriorated quite a bit with the rise in demand for skill and fall in demand for low-skilled workers...What that meant was, from a pure labor market perspective, the unemployment rate really wasn't indicative of what the economy was like. Unemployment in an economic sense wasn't as low as unemployment in a measured sense.
The blogosphere is taking note: Add Kevin Drum and Reihan Salam to people who are also concerned about the growing rate of the perpetually unemployed in our economy. The unskilled are slowly disappearing from the labor force, and it isn't clear why or how this is happening. Is it the result of the computerization of the economy, as Gregory Clark suggests? Is it the result of the criminalization of a large part of the poor through specific projections of state power, particularly the War on Drugs and Broken Windows? Is it a more general trend towards higher skills as well as forms of (disability) insurance as Kevin Murphy argues?

Pot sales top $2M
Sales of recreational marijuana eclipsed the $2 million mark for the first time in July.
According to numbers provided by the Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder's Office, Pueblo retail pot shops sold $2,050,638 worth of marijuana last month and the county collected more than $70,000 in its special marijuana tax.
After the first four months of the year were up, then down, then up again, sales of recreational weed in Pueblo have grown steadily since April, tracking with the summer tourist season.
The Cannasseur on Tuesday said that between 75 and 80 percent of its sales were to tourists from out of town or the state. Rick Hooper, sales manager for The Spot, said between 60 and 70 percent of his customers have addresses out of town.

Went to check it out today. A lot easier to find then I thought it was going to be. Most of the directions I have read said it was an unmarked dirt road. As I reached the .8 mile point of the main road suddenly I see a sign pointing towards the range.
Nice little range. Looked to be about a dozen or so benches. Nice clean area. It is only 100 yards but that is the distance I plan on shooting or less for now. They are still working on the Range Master building.
Now that I know where it is I can get there earlier in the morning to get a good bench. Hopefully after a few trips I can learn from some the others where to find some good hunting in the area.

Fish and Wildlife Service:
Agency Needs to Inform Congress of Future Costs Associated With Land Acquisitions
T-RCED-00-89: Published: Feb 15, 2000. Publicly Released: Feb 15, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6877
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed its recent report on how the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) decides to establish and expand refuges, focusing on: (1) the financial effect of establishing refuges by means other than appropriations; and (2) differences in the priority-setting processes for acquiring land using the land and water and migratory bird funds.
GAO noted that: (1) even when FWS establishes refuges without the need for appropriated funds, these actions have usually been followed by requests for appropriations to expand the refuges and have always resulted in the need for future appropriations to operate and maintain them; (2) from fiscal years 1994 through 1998, FWS established 23 refuges, 15 of which were established with land that was donated, transferred, or exchanged; (3) after establishing these refuges, FWS subsequently used $29 million in appropriated funds to acquire more land to expand them and plans to request another $786 million to acquire additional land for them; (4) furthermore, FWS will incur operations and maintenance costs for these refuges, which will be funded through appropriations, but it is unable to estimate how much these costs will be; (5) FWS uses separate and dramatically different priority-setting processes to decide which lands to acquire with its two funding sources; (6) for land and water funds, FWS used the Land Acquisition Priority System (LAPS), which is a centralized, automated system that generates a single national priority list; (7) in contrast, for migratory bird funds, FWS' regional offices develop their own priority lists, based on FWS' criteria for managing waterfowl habitat and on the likelihood of purchasing the land within a year of receiving funds; (8) LAPS has shortcomings that limit its usefulness in deciding which of FWS' land acquisitions to fund; (9) it uses subjective criteria, differentiates little between refuges, and does not provide a true relative ranking; (10) FWS is working to revise LAPS; (11) FWS does not provide Congress with information on its plans to acquire refuge lands with migratory bird funds; and (12) as a result, Congress does not know what these plans are and cannot factor this information into its decisionmaking.

Topic Outline
Lymphangitis is inflammation of lymphatic channels due to infectious or noninfectious causes. Potential pathogens include bacteria, mycobacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Lymphangitis most commonly develops after cutaneous inoculation of microorganisms into the lymphatic vessels through a skin wound or as a complication of a distal infection.
The pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, microbiology, diagnosis, and treatment of lymphangitis will be reviewed here. Further information about the individual etiologies of lymphangitis is discussed in detail separately.
The major function of the lymphatic system is to resorb fluid and protein from tissues and extravascular spaces. The absence of a basement membrane beneath lymphatic endothelial cells affords the lymphatic channels a unique permeability, allowing resorption of proteins that are too large to be resorbed by venules.
Lymphatic channels are situated in the deep dermis and subdermal tissues parallel to the veins and have a series of valves to ensure one-way flow [1]. Lymph drains via afferent lymphatics to regional lymph nodes and then by efferent lymphatics to the cisterna chyli and the thoracic duct into the subclavian vein and venous circulation.
Lymphangitis most commonly develops after cutaneous inoculation of microorganisms that invade the lymphatic vessels and spread toward the regional lymph nodes. Organisms may invade lymphatic vessels directly through a skin wound or an abrasion or as a complication of a distal infection.

News & Media
We are Eminence
Employee Spotlight: Paul Woodcox
Ed Catmull, President of Pixar Animation and Disney Animation, is no stranger to problem solving. In his newest book "Creativity, Inc." he describes how Pixar is able to produce such great movies. Problem solving is a huge part of that. He says, "The responsibility for finding and fixing problems should be assigned to every employee, from the most senior manager to the lowliest new hire." Here at Eminence, we've got some great thinkers and problem solvers, not the least of which is Paul Woodcox.
Employee Spotlight: Lisa Willhite
Persistence is not letting inclement weather keep you from taking a hike through the mountains. Stubbornness is refusing to take an umbrella. There is a fine line between those two things; persistence and stubbornness. In fact, the line is so thin that it is hard for a person to self-declare that they are one or the other. We usually need others to tell us.
Lisa Willhite finds herself in a position here at Eminence where she often needs to be persistent. Stubbornness would certainly not do. But she often has to see things through and make sure that they are correct. She often has to be the communicator for various departments and people. When problems arise in production, they often call for Lisa.
Join us for Hope Jam 2014
Through the tireless efforts of our Relay for Life fundraising team, we are excited to be hosting our first ever Hope Jam concert on Saturday, May 24th at the Kentucky Renaissance Fair in Eminence, KY. All proceeds from this event will go to support Relay for Life.
Headlining this event is JD Shelburne. JD is a country artist that hails from Taylorsville, Kentucky but now calls Nashville his home. He has recently released 2 radio singles "Farmboy" and "Grandma & Garth" nationwide this past year followed by his debut music video for "Farmboy" featuring former University of Kentucky Head Football Coach Joker Phillips on bass guitar.
Employee Spotlight: Rodney Tingle
From the engineers behind the draftsman's desk to the men and women stamping out cold, hard steel, Eminence is built upon hard work and dedication. This month's Employee Spotlight shines on Rodney Tingle, someone who exemplifies both of these traits. Paul "Bear" Bryant used to say, "I'm no miracle man. I guarantee nothing but hard work." Sometimes you need a miracle, but most of the time hard work will suffice. Rodney Tingle is a hard-working and dedicated employee, to say the least.
New Products for 2014
Eminence is proud to announce the following new Pro Audio and Musical Instrument Loudspeakers and HF products for 2014. See all of these new models at the 2014 Winter NAMM Show booth 4334 in Anaheim, CA, January 23-26.
Additions to the Professional Series include 10″, 12″ and 15″ shallow cast frame models designed to give you high output in tight fitting horn loaded applications. The new Delta Pro 12-450 is a lighter weight version of our popular Delta Pro 12 model, and is designed as a replacement in smaller portable PA cabinets. Like all of our professional audio and musical instrument loudspeakers, our new 1″ exit PSD:2013 and 1.4″ exit PSD:3014 compression drivers are designed and assembled in the USA and pack incredible performance and value.
There are five new guitar speaker models for 2014. We've captured the epitome of British tone with the 12″ CV-75 in our Redcoat series. We are also proud to introduce our first 6″ guitar speaker, as well as two additions to our Legend Series. We are also excited to introduce another addition to our Signature series, the GA-SC64. This vintage voiced speaker is a collaborative design effort with amp guru George Alessandro.
Click below to learn all about these new models.
Employee Spotlight: Mayme Steinmetz
"That woman worked me to death!!" This was a phrase that I heard uttered by a young man who was working along one of the greatest workers that Eminence Speaker has ever seen. He was describing how hard he was working while trying to keep up with Mayme Steinmetz. She is, without a doubt, one of the hardest workers I have ever had the privilege to work with.
I have a unique perspective as I have worked alongside Mayme in the Packing Department and Box Line. When I was an Assistant Supervisor in the packing department, Mayme was always giving 100%. She is a great example to the younger generation of workers coming in as well as those of us that have been here for a few years.
Employee Spotlight: Jane Holbrook
"I was excited to get on here." That is a phrase that many of our veteran workforce at Eminence Speaker have uttered. For much of the history of Eminence Speaker, this has been a tough place to gain employment because the turnover rate had been so low. Once you were in, you stayed in and did everything you could to maintain your employment.
Jane Holbrook is one of those people who are genuinely appreciative of what she has. She is a very dependable worker and her quality of work speaks for itself. She has been married for almost 30 years with 2 children and 4 grandchildren.
Employee Spotlight: April Suter
There is an old Jewish proverb that says, "I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders." That idea is foreign to most of us. We typically want to lighten the load, do less, and keep ourselves from being tied down or committed to something for very long. But hardly ever does the person asking for lighter burdens accomplish much. If the truth be told, no one ever really goes looking for burdens; they usually find you. Similarly, in the workplace, we typically don't go looking for extra things to add to our daily routines. But nevertheless, extra things find us.
From my own experience of working in production here, you will be hard pressed to find someone more able and willing to shoulder a tough workload than April Suter. April is extremely knowledgeable about everything with regards to our production departments. Her knowledge comes not from simply being told how to do something, but from hours of hard work doing the various jobs.
Employee Spotlight: Patty Thurmond
I have met and talked with many people in my years here at Eminence. There are very few that I have met that are as knowledgeable of their department as Patty Thurmond. Some people see a task at a "street level" view and some see a task from "30,000ft." Patty can do both. And that is part of what makes her such a vital part of the Eminence Speaker workforce. Patty works in the Press Room at Eminence under the supervision of Garrett Gambrel. Garret recognizes Patty's contributions to the company as such:
"Patty is an upbeat, hard worker with a great attitude. She is a huge asset for the department as well as the organization. She shows concern for quality and takes pride in a job well done. She knows how to motivate others and increase production. I never have to worry if she is working which makes my job easier. She is a great person, definitely an original."
Employee Spotlight: Thomas Hill
This month's "We are Eminence" employee highlight shines its light upon Thomas Hill. Thomas is one of the many pairs of hard working hands here at Eminence. He and his brother, Eric, take great pride in running our US Distribution department. Glenn Simpson is Thomas' direct report here at Eminence. Glenn has this to say about Thomas:
"Thomas is a great guy. He's here every day which is a big plus for me. He's got a very positive attitude and work ethic which makes him very easy to work with and be around. He always keeps himself busy. Not someone you feel you need to keep an eye on. A real asset for the company and especially our department. Besides that, he's a Louisville Cardinal fan. How can you not like that!!"

Updated: April 30, 2008, 3:11 PM ETESPN.com news services
Despite averaging 58 regular-season wins the past four seasons, Mike D'Antoni might be out as Phoenix Suns coach.
An SI.com report on Tuesday night said the coach will not return after his team was eliminated by the San Antonio Spurs in five games in their best-of-7 first-round playoff series. D'Antoni has two years and $8.5 million left on his contract.
Suns general manager Steve Kerr denied the report, Arizona Republic reporter Paul Coro said Wednesday morning on ESPN's "First Take."

WINNER: Ambassador David Adelman and the US Embassy in Singapore
The US Ambassador to Singapore, David Adelman (pictured above receiving the award from News Corporation's Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, Joe Welch), and the team at the US Embassy have been powerful regional advocates for US business in Asia, helping to fulfill President Obama's National Export Initiative, and supporting social responsibility efforts in Singapore along with initiatives dealing with increasing student numbers and steps to tackle people trafficking. Ambassador Adelman has led business missions of senior US business leaders in the region to India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Myanmar.
The latest mission was the first American business mission to go to Naypyidaw to meet with the Government of Myanmar. In total, these missions have seen participation from over 80 companies and 100 delegates. Ambassador Adelman has instituted a new programme of NEI Promotional Outreach Tours to encourage US companies not yet operating in Asia to tap into Asia's growth. Ambassador Adelman and his staff have led several US NEI Promotional Outreach Tours, visiting cities on the US West Coast, in the Southeast and Midwest, which have few companies exporting to Asia.
Explaining the opportunities
The Embassy has also partnered with International Enterprise Singapore and the Economic Development Board to have their representatives join the tours to explain their view of opportunities in Asia and areas where Singapore and US companies could partner to enter new Asian markets. Ambassador Adelman has been extremely involved in AmCham's CSR efforts. At AmCham's Corporate Community Day event, the largest one-day volunteer event in Singapore, which annually brings together a large number of companies to do community service, Ambassador Adelman and his Deputy Chief of Mission, Lou Mazel, visit dozens of events throughout the country. They do everything from delivering food to the elderly, finger-painting with disabled Singaporeans, and playing sports with Special Olympians.
This year he personally reached out to over 200 American companies in Singapore to encourage them to join AmCham's 10th annual Corporate Community Day. As a result, the event has nearly doubled from 2011 to 2012, now involving 62 companies, 47 events, with 6,000 volunteers and beneficiaries. At the 2011 Special Olympics Gala, Ambassador Adelman and his wife, Caroline, auctioned off a dinner at their home to raise money for the Special Olympics' operations in Asia.
During Ambassador Adelman's tenure, the number of American students studying in Singapore has doubled, and the number of Singaporean students in the US hit its highest level ever in 2011 with 4,316 students. This is an extraordinary number considering Singapore's total population of five million. The US Embassy uses Facebook and Twitter to help spread a positive message about US engagement in Singapore.
The Embassy is also leading an effort with the Singapore Government to combat trafficking in persons. The US Embassy in Singapore has coordinated with local NGOs and government officials to: provide training of law enforcement so that they can better detect trafficking cases; help increase public awareness on trafficking issues by partnering with MTV EXIT program; host a myriad of anti-trafficking related events; and partner with local NGOS and AmCham to encourage private sector participation in anti-trafficking efforts.
