have we ever seen nic cage's hairpiece and john travolta's in the same picture? BESIDES FACE OFF, OBVI.
Rosario Dawson's a true angel – just look at her, supporting the mentally impaired. An angel, I tell ya.
Alva, there is no one else in this entire office that I could possibly ask to share such a horrible job. You're the lowest on the totem pole here, Alva. The lowest. Do you realize that? Every other secretary here has been here longer than you, Alva. Every one. And even if there was someone here who was here even one day longer than you, I still wouldn't ask that person to partake in such a miserable job as long as you were around. That's right, Alva. It's a horrible, horrible job; sifting through old contract after old contract. I couldn't think of a more horrible job if I wanted to. And you have to do it! You have to or I'll fire you. You understand? Do you? Good.
"Vampire's Kiss" reference… damn, you dug deep!
Gnome, Vampire's kiss, his best work. Everything went downhill from there.
Damn, he is so broke the IRS repossessed his gold chains so he had to get ones made out of M&Ms.
Is anyone else sad there isn't a Nicholas Cage movie coming out every other month?
If they did have a child together, at least there's a good chance that it's eyes would be perfectly placed. Not too close together, not too far apart. Juuust right.
Nic was just another in a long line of old, washed up actors hitting her, thought Rosario. Then, she notcied the beads. Those stunning beads adorning his wrinkled neck. "Damn you beads," she thought.
Despite all that she was taught, Rosario knew that sooner or later, she would find herself in Nic Cage's bed.
I always confuse her with Michelle Rodriguez, posing with a butch lesbian is not helping.
Has he got his lifetime achievement award for complete and utter dog-of-a-movie movies yet?
I love Rosario Dawson.
Rosario, if I start to sweat, I'm screwed. This is one of those rinse out dye jobs.
"Never tell me to stop drinking…"
And what human emotion is he portraying here?

Prices in Asia Moving Upward
10:29 AM MDT | April 26, 2011 | Lindsey Bewley
Naphtha price levels strengthened from USD 1045.0-1047.0 to USD 1075.0-1077.0 on rising crude prices. In addition, naphtha requirements have also been moving up in the gasoline blending unit. It is expected that the price levels might move down a bit in the coming weeks due to sluggish demand from the derivative markets. Ethylene prices inched up from USD 1330-1340 to USD 1350-1360 as buying sentiments have been low in the end user segments. Selling is low at the moment and is expected to stay this way for a few weeks. Propylene moved up to USD...

Vicon Reports Second Quarter Results
Vicon Industries, Inc. (VII: NYSE-AMEX), a designer and producer of video security and surveillance systems, today reported operating results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012. The announcement was made by Chairman and CEO Ken Darby, who said increasing North American sales and lower operating costs produced much improved results.
Net sales for the second fiscal quarter were $12.5 million, an increase of 3% compared with $12.1 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. A net loss was incurred of $279,000 ($.06 per share), compared with a net loss of $713,000 ($.16 per share) in the prior year quarter.
For the six months, net sales were $24.8 million, an increase of 4% compared with $23.8 million in the first six months of the prior fiscal year. The net loss totaled $562,000 ($.13 per share), compared with a net loss of $1,167,000 ($.26 per share) in the prior year six-month period.
Commenting on the second quarter results, Mr. Darby said U.S. sales grew 5% to $7.4 million while foreign sales were up slightly at $5.1 million. For the six months U.S. sales increased $1.2 million, or 8%, to $15.5 million while foreign sales declined 2% to $9.3 million. "North American business has shown steady improvement, while our Europe and Middle East (EMEA) business has struggled to gain traction since the financial crisis. Notwithstanding the EMEA softness, new orders for the March 2012 quarter were $13.5 million, up 12% from the year ago period and the highest since the December 2009 quarter. That's a positive indicator going into our third quarter", said Mr. Darby.Gross margins in the second quarter were 40%, compared with 39% in the prior year quarter. Operating costs in the second quarter declined to $5.2 million compared with $5.8 million principally as a result of cost reductions and no patent litigation expense. For the six month period, Vicon incurred little cash burn as non-cash charges of depreciation, amortization and stock option expense totaled $453,000. The Company's financial position remains solid with $22 million in tangible net worth ($4.91 per share), $19.1 million in working capital and no interest bearing debt, noted Mr. Darby.

Cree Redefines LED Parking Garage Lighting Delivering Low Glare With Fast Payback
Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq: CREE) introduces the VG Series Parking Garage Luminaire, demonstrating Cree's innovative approach to challenging lighting applications. Cree ® VG Series parking garage luminaires are designed to deliver optimal, low-glare illumination by intelligently eliminating direct view of the LEDs with a revolutionary optical system. The VG Series helps create a pleasing appearance while delivering high-performance lighting. Best of all, the innovative VG Series lowers total cost of ownership and can deliver payback in less than two years.*
With typical parking garages operating 24/7, managing energy costs is critical for facility managers and owners. The new VG Series delivers energy savings up to 73 percent compared to the outdated metal halide fixtures they replace, while simultaneously delivering exceptional illumination quality, which can help create a safer feeling in garages. The low-glare luminaire features a composite optical system combining a highly efficient internal reflector and a precisely designed prismatic lens. Contrast between bright and dark areas in garages can create safety concerns for building owners and garage users. The Cree VG Series high-performance optical system can help achieve lighting design uniformity goals and a comfortable, safer-feeling environment for both vehicles and pedestrians. Designed with simplified mounting solutions for seamless installation in most parking garages, the VG Series also delivers up to 10 percent desirable uplight, reducing the "cave effect" that is typical with existing LED luminaires and many conventional solutions lighting parking garages today.
"The VG Series was specifically designed for the unique challenges presented by parking garages," said Greg Merritt, vice president, lighting at Cree. "With low initial cost and virtually no maintenance expenses, the VG Series is the ideal choice to transform any garage from a poorly illuminated and uninviting space, to a well-lit garage with aesthetically pleasing lighting—all backed by a 10-year limited warranty."
The VG Series is sold through Cree lighting sales channels. Please visit www.cree.com/lighting/VGseries to learn more.*Payback calculated against metal halide and based on commercial usage of 24 hours per-day and the national average of $0.11 per kWh electric costs.

Geckos are very adept at climbing through difficult terrain using an intricate adhesive system. Until now it has not been known when and how they switch on their unique system of traction.
Scientists at the University of Calgary and Clemson University in South Carolina have discovered that the geckos' amazing grip is triggered by gravity.
This latest development in gecko adhesive research will be published Wed., Aug. 5, at 00:001 BST, by Anthony Russell of the U of C and Tim Higham of Clemson in the online edition of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/
"Geckos use microscopic, hair-like filaments to attach to surfaces. Only at certain angles do they switch on their traction system, however," says Russell, a biological sciences professor at the U of C. "We are trying to understand this process, which will help in mimicking it for application to robotics."
Geckos have long been known for their remarkable abilities to move on smooth surfaces such as glass. This study adds a new angle to previous research: geckos must be on an incline in order to trigger the deployment of their adhesive system.
"Much has been learned in recent years about the mechanism by which clinging takes place, but little is known about how geckos determine when to use this ability," says Higham, a former U of C student and now an assistant professor of biological sciences at Clemson. "We show that perception of body orientation determines when the adhesive system is switched on."
The scientists discovered that the tipping point which turns on the gecko's adhesive system is 10 degrees. Three of the six geckos studied applied their adhesive system on a 10 degree slope. At 30 degrees all six applied the system. The three that applied the traction at 10 degrees slowed down, the three that didn't were much quicker.

EPIC: they make outThe wineglass slid out of his fingers to break with a crunch on the foot of the table.
"Oh, come on," she said, exasperated. "Now we're going to have to clean--"
Robin didn't finish her sentence before he lurched out of his seat and towards her, and she had time for one squeak of protest before he grabbed her waist and kissed her.
Appalled, she said, "Matthew!" and tried ineffectually to shove him away, but then suddenly she tasted the wine on his lips, and any resistance she'd felt melted away into a heady haze. She could feel his mouth insistent on hers, his tongue on her lips, the wine-laced tang of his breath. His hands were hot at her sides, firm and possessive, and she reached up to touch his face. He was, suddenly, unspeakably handsome. He hadn't always been so good-looking, had he?
Matthew, breathing hard, wrenched away from her and pushed her back a few steps, until she was up against the edge of the bed, prevented from falling only by his hands on her waist. He pulled her hip
Don't Let GoHold yourself tightly
let your nails draw blood
from material stretched too tight over shattered bones
sharpened points ripping at the seams
cutting away the last of his finger prints
embedded into your skin
When the ground starts to shiver
jump on the nearest passerby
feel for any grip possible
climb your way up his cracked spine
See the street that has trapped your memories under its pavement
feel them rush back to you in tsunamis, breaking the cities under your eyes
keep walking
crush your feet into the sidewalk
don't look back
Look at the mangled face staring back at you
it's 4 a.m. and you can still see the names he called you
as if they were tattooed on to your face
stop your hand from reaching into the medicine cabinet
go back to bed
bury your pain in the sheets
Hang on to his smile
don't look down, don't let go
push yourself up and find safety in his eyes
no one will find you there
Sew bones back together with heart strings
it will never be the same but it's still something
At The EndIn hazy daydreams,
Rambling thoughts,
I would wonder
I would ponder
As I wander
Through these visions.
And I would see.
Would there be a you
Or me, or we,
Or would there be,
In simplicity,
At the end.
For at the end,
Of thought, or time,
Could there be,
Blankness sublime,
No need to define,
What is left behind
At the close.
Yet nothingness,
Is somethingness,
And somethingness,
Is nothing.
When everything,
Is infinity, quite,
Which in itself,
Cancels itself,
To be nothing.
Picture white.
A shade, a colour,
A type of artist's paint.
If nothingness,
Is simply white,
Or black, it might,
Then nothingness,
Is actually quite,
A something.
Imagine nothing.
At the end,
Of time and existence,
What shall remain?
If nothing,
Is something,
Something shall remain,
Possability insane,
Think in bleak disdain,
Picture this.
In the future.
At the end.
SleeplessI should very well be asleep by now
But the thoughts that hold my being captive are only of you
Your soft skin
Smelling so sweet
The clothes I still have hidden in my room
Have that same, faint, scent.
I close my eyes and feel your breath on my neck again
Feel you kissing me
Touching me
Making me feel things my sleeping soul hadn't felt in so long
I feel your soft lips crash into mine
Clumsy in their endeavor to explore
Every part of me.
They took some part of me with them
In that last,
Cold, desperate
I can't sleep knowing that you're no longer mine
Then again
Maybe you were never mine to begin with
Do you know what I hate?Do you know what I hate? The question: Who are you? Everyone knows of those prompts in school where the teacher expects you tell your life story in so many words. They anticipate a list of experiences, a bald statement of facts. They think that knowing these things will help them get to know you better or the class if it is an assignment you must read aloud. They say that you need not reveal anything too personal, that if it makes you uncomfortable then do not talk about it. But what they do not realize is that not everyone can look at a blank page and pour shallow, impersonal truths upon it.
They do not realize that to some of us, the question of 'Who are you?' is painful.
And when you do not give them more than a few elusive answers to their prompting, they poke for more detail. "Detail," they say, "I do not feel as if I know anything more about you." What if I do not want you to know more about me? What if the way I answered was the only way I knew how without trudging up old h

Some of the best comedy in this city can be found in back of a McDonald's on 8th Avenue and West 26th Street. The Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater, or "UCB," started small, taking over a small strip club, and is now known as one of the finest improv theaters, with shows every night of the week featuring some of the funniest and most talented comic performers in the city.

It's quite possibly the fanciest basketball court we've ever seen. The ceiling of Long Island University's Brooklyn's Athletic Center reveals its beginnings as the Brooklyn Paramount Theatre. The sky blue and white latticed ceiling and the arches along the side walls, decorated with artificial foliage, still remain at the top of what is now the Arnold and Marie Schwartz Athletic Center, which was the Brooklyn Paramount Theatre in the mid 1900s.

Back in the 1930s, Montreal's cultural scene was very lively. Cabarets, movie houses and vaudeville theaters abounded and the nightlife was so renowned that people boarded trains every weekend from nearby provinces and states in order to join in on the fun. As the years passed, many of these beautiful venues closed down and they were either destroyed or they changed purposes. A few of these places have remained open and are being actively restored by owners who want to keep these architectural gems a part of Montreal's past and present. Here are 5 beautiful Montreal cultural venues that will take you back to the 1930s.

Artist Cynthia Von Buhler's latest endeavor might be the closest you can get to time travel. Speakeasy Dollhouse: The Brothers Booth, an interactive play exploring the Booth brothers' sibling rivalry, will whisk you back to 1919—when Prohibition drove the parties underground but certainly didn't stop them.
Von Buhler has explored this theme in the first iteration of the Speakeasy Dollhouse: the Bloody Beginning, which was inspired by the true story of her grandfather's murder. This time, she has taken a quintessentially New York story and brought it to life in one of the City's most coveted private Gilded Age clubs, the Players Club on Gramercy Park. (more…)

Times Square is home to over 30 theaters. These theaters can be awe-inspiring works of art and architecture. As a result, it is sad to think about Times Square's opulent theaters that have either been nearly gutted or completely demolished. One former theater, which is overlooked by most who visit the area, lies in the middle of that spectrum.
Until recently, the former Loew's Mayfair Theater was a souvenir store that incorporated some of the theater's detailing. The store went out of business and so far nothing new has opened in its place. Ideally, its new occupant will restore the interior decorations and display them more prominently, as recently happened with the former I. Miller Shoe Store. (more…)

What if John Wilkes Booth really assassinated Lincoln because of a sibling rivalry? The Brothers Booth, a new interactive play by Cynthia Von Buhler, creator of the Speakeasy Dollhouse: The Bloody Beginning, will explore that possibility. Spectators will be encouraged to play along, observing the action and piecing together the clues as they explore The Players Club, founded by Edwin Booth in 1888. The Brothers Booth is a fantasy based on a number of truths about Edwin and his infamous brother, John Wilkes Booth. We met up with von Buhler at the Players Club to find out more about the play, which opens in March. (more…)

Abd Rahman, Azmawani (2008) Buyer-Supplier Relationships in Advanced Manufacturing Technology Acquisition and Implementation in Malaysia. International Journal of Economics and Management, 2 (1). pp. 95-126. ISSN 1823-836X
In an increasingly competitive environment, manufacturing firms in developing countries have continued to acquire and implement new and advanced technologies aimed at improving plant performance. In any new technology adoption, implementation remains the main issue, having been recognised by practitioners and widely reported by researchers as a major source of project failure. This is particularly true if the technology is considered to be advanced for the firm. While many factors have been blamed for causing project failure, efforts continue to be made to identify the critical success factors in technology implementation. In the implementation of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), the relationship between technology buyers and suppliers has been widely cited as crucial to overall success. This paper explores technology buyer-supplier relationships and both implementation and performance of technology throughout the process of acquisition and implementation. Data obtained from 147 manufacturing firms in Malaysia was used to test several hypotheses, which were derived from an extensive review of literature relating to advanced manufacturing technology and buyer-supplier relationships (BSR). The data was analysed using the structured equation modelling (SEM) technique. The results indicate that although a majority of the firms reported improvements in performance since initiating the use of AMT, firms demonstrating a closer relationship with the technology suppliers are more likely to achieve higher levels of performance than those that do not. The result of this study also provides useful insights that are especially pertinent for improved understanding of buyersupplier relationships in the procurement of capital equipment, about which research literature is currently quite sparse.

On November 29, SBC Today posted Dr. Harwood's essay titled, "The ETS, the AP, and the BFM." (Read it here.). Within three days, the essay generated more than 100 online comments, including this one from Rick Warren: "Adam reveals a very important distinction that I had not noticed between BF&M and Abstract." Also, "This article was helpful, and so are many of the comments afterward." (http://goo.gl/Xmggg). The following post reveals Dr. Harwood's further reflections on the subject.
"Does Southern Seminary have an institutional commitment to a theological position which is not affirmed in the BFM and excludes many Southern Baptists?"
The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is comprised of churches with a variety of theological commitments. Among those groups are Calvinists, non-Calvinists, and others who refuse either of those theological monikers. This convention of churches cooperates in Great Commission work. That cooperation involves operating six seminaries. Faculty at these institutions train pastors, missionaries, and other leaders for SBC churches. Also, some seminary faculty publish biblical and theological works for SBC churches. Because Southern Baptists are a theologically diverse group, all the seminaries should allow for theological differences which are permissible within the convention's statement of faith, the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 (BFM).

Assistant Professor of Christian Studies
Truett-McConnell College
Cleveland, Georgia
The doctrinal formulation known as inherited guilt, or imputed guilt, holds a prominent position within the history of Christianity as well as among Baptists. The claim of this paper is that inherited guilt, the view that every person inherits more than a sinful nature or inclination but also the actual guilt of the first Adam, faces the challenge of maintaining internally-consistent theological assertions when formulating a doctrine of infant salvation. In other words, there may be a better way of understanding what the Bible teaches about our inheritance from Adam and subsequent sin and death which has been answered by God in the gift of His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This view, inherited sinful nature, is presented in a basic way through seven biblical statements on the spiritual condition of infants. The paper supports this view by engaging key texts (such as 2 Samuel 12; Psalm 51:5; and Romans 5:12), major theologians (such as Augustine, Calvin, Wayne Grudem and John MacArthur), and our convention's common doctrinal statement, the BFM 2000.
This paper is offered as a resource to benefit Southern Baptist pastors. While the professors teach students about doctrinal issues such as the nature of our inheritance from Adam or how to formulate a theologically-consistent doctrine of infant salvation, it is pastors who do the hardest work. It is pastors who prepare and deliver funeral sermons for those previous infants and minister to those hurting families in subsequent years. Reared in SBC churches across the country (moved by the military every few years), I heard a wide variety of Southern Baptist pastors and Bible study teachers advocate a view which was sometimes referred to as an age or stage of accountability. This view resonated with many people as faithful to the teachings of Scripture. But there seemed to be little-to-nothing in print which articulated a biblical-theological defense for such a view. This paper is offered as a small contribution to begin filling that theological void. It is my intuition that this view of inherited guilt will be gladly received because it is already widely affirmed throughout the SBC.
The content of this paper was drawn from the work in my 2007 PhD dissertation in Theology completed at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The dissertation was revised and published in 2011 with pastors in mind. Unless a person wants to comb through 400+ footnotes from more than 200+ sources, I recommend simply reading this paper. On a personal note, it is humbling to know that God may desire to encourage and sharpen certain pastors in their high calling through this proposal. If it blesses even one pastor and aids in his ministry, then I will thank the Lord, because it was prepared as an offering to the Him and now I am honored to offer it for consideration to the pastors who serve in His churches throughout the SBC.

- Surefire Products Never Received
Sorry, but I never received the surefire products I had ordered for my sons Birthday?????????

- Works well
I use a flashlight every evening once it starts getting dark after 7PM to check my mail and walk my dog. They only last about 1/2 as long as the regular Lithium Ion batteries but with 500 charging cycles the price is right.
I was disappointed when my first Surefire dual level flashlight ran out of juice a week before it's 4 year anniversary, I was hoping to make it all the way to 4. Used it on those early nights to check mail and to illuminate a room during a 2 hour power failure.
Rechargeables to the rescue, now I am not worried about a stock of batteries.
Reviewed by HW (Posted on 11/2/14)
- Rechargeable batteries and charger
I bought the charger and 2 rechargeable batteries and an extra 2 batteries. I leave one set on the charger at all times. I swap them out once a week and I am much happier with My flashlight because the batteries always have a full charge. I made this purchase about 3 weeks ago, and am very happy I did.

- Do Not Waste Your Money
Please do not waste your money on this product. These batteries, on a full charge, are as powerful as dead disposable batteries are. I am returning them for a refund.
I am disappointed that this battery set and charger are so below the standard that I have come to expect from Surefire products. I trusted that because I was making a purchase from the Surefire website that I would get a quality product - not so!

- One battery works great.
I have submitted three online problem reports and have not received even a single electronic response. I purchased this kit, right at 2 weeks ago. It arrived on Colombus day. One of the batteries was already corroded in the package. I replied to the company that evening. With them being Lithium batteries, I wasn't about to attempt charging what was obviously a defective cell. I do not know if the online responses for customer service issues are back logged or not, but I cannot use my kit on flashlights that take two batteries, with only one. This is the 4th attempt at contacting Surefire for a remedy. The charger and one battery (functional) appeared to work.

Do not use LFP 123A batteries with incandescent illumination tools. See Restrictions below.
Kit includes two LFP 123A lithium-phosphate rechargeable batteries and a combination wall (AC) and car (DC) charger with appropriate AC and DC cables. These batteries—which retain approximately 50% of their original capacity even after 500 charging cycles—will power SureFire illumination tools that use disposable 123A lithium batteries. The charger, which features a charge status indicator light, will charge two LFP 123A lithium-phosphate batteries simultaneously. The runtime of these LFP 123A batteries is approximately 50% less than the runtime provided by disposable 123A lithium batteries; maximum output levels are typically not affected. Use of these rechargeable batteries can result in a cost savings over time, depending on usage habits.
- Combination wall (AC) and car (DC) charger simultaneously recharges two lithium-phosphate batteries (included)
- AC/DC charger features indicator light
- Two LFP 123A lithium-phosphate rechargeable batteries provide hundreds of charging cycles
Warning: As with disposable 123A lithium batteries, do not mix rechargeable LFP 123A lithium-phosphate batteries with other types or brands of batteries, including but not limited to 123A lithium batteries. The included charger should not be used to recharge disposable 123A lithium batteries.
Rechargeable LFP 123A batteries are only to be used to power LED illumination products (built to use 123A lithium batteries) and NOT those featuring incandescent lamps. The initial elevated voltage of these rechargeable batteries, immediately after charging, may cause the filament contained within an incandescent lamp to break or "burn out."

Solar Mole Repeller 22 22
Ordering a second set... Our neighborhood has been overrun with moles, piles of dirt in everyone's yards. We used these in our front yard, since November, and they are gone. Now ordering for our backyard. June 12, 2012
Wish I had got one sooner I have a tough time with moles & chipmunks burrowing in my perennial gardens. This has really moved them out! It's been a few weeks and already the gardens are in good shape! Would recommend this to anyone in New England. July 19, 2012
What a Surprise I didn't have high hopes for the Solar Mole Repeller. We've tried everything short of a gun. To our surprise, they're gone. It has been in the ground for about 3 weeks and we rarely see a ground hog. I think they have moved to our neighbors yard. To our surprise, however, the ground hogs are trying to dig the repeller out of the ground. Who knew they were so smart. We just keep throwing dirt back into the hole. So far, so good.................... August 13, 2012
so happy the moles have not been in my yard since i placed the mole solar repellents. the moles are still tunnelling in the other yards in the neighborhood including the neighbors on either side of my house. i bought 3 more for the perimeters of my yard. they are hardly visible and have a very low toned buzz. the solar power requires no maintenance. thanks to the inventor and improvements January 25, 2013

Abu Dhabi-owned investment fund Mubadala and Chicago-based asset manager Mesirow Financial are all set to strike a deal for setting up a new joint venture company. The new entity would offer services in risk management in commodity and in the currency market. Chris Coombe, former chief operating officer of Invest AD will head the joint venture, according to a person known to development.
Invest AD, a firm owned by Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), is one of the leading sovereign wealth funds in Abu Dhabi. Investment fund Mubadala is yet to obtain regulatory approvals to start its operations in the country.
Mesirow spokeswoman Katie Schimmel told Reuters on Thursday that Mubadala and Mesirow will own 51 per cent and 49 per cent stake in the newly formed entity. This is the first ever joint venture Mubadala has formed with Mesirow and it is aimed to serve clients in Abu Dhabi and in Middle East, North Africa and South Asia region.
Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, Chief Operating Officer for Mubadala, told, "This new venture will help clients navigate market fluctuations and manage downside risks - particularly in commodity and currency prices."

PID (PowerShares International Dividend Achievers ETF) tracks the companies that have increased their annual dividends for five or more consecutive years. It was launched in September 2009. AUM equal $530 million and average daily trading volume is around 123K shares. The expense ratio is .50% while the quarterly dividend currently is $.07 making the yield less than 2%. Again in the international space currency issues should always be a consideration.
Other ETFs to consider within this space include IDV (iShares International Select Dividend ETF) which follows the Dow Jones International Select Dividend ETF), DWX (SPDR International Dividend ETF) and DWM (Wisdom Tree DEFA ETF). In addition, Global X just issued SDIV (Solactive Global Super Dividend ETF).

AUM equals $1.3 billion and average daily trading volume is roughly 156K shares. The quarterly dividend is $.31 putting the yield at less than 3%. The YTD return is 4.59% through June 2011. When you begin focusing on "high yield" you're adding more risk potentially and should receive better returns than commonly available with higher graded securities. VYM is in the Large Cap space so quality isn't necessarily as much an issue.

With these issues growth opportunities in overall asset appreciation and increases in dividends are present. Nevertheless, as yields are now quite low historically, investors must remember that low yields will not protect them in a rising interest rate environment or any significant stock market corrections. As stated with other sectors, remember ETF sponsors must issue and their interests aren't aligned with yours.

Four people suffered minor injuries Sunday when a private plane crashed after takeoff in Union County, authorities said.
The plane went down about 2:30 p.m. shortly after taking off from Goose Creek Airport, on Lawyers Road near Rocky River Road in the northwest part of the county.
The plane, identified as a Piper Arrow, crash-landed near Charlotte National Golf Club in Indian Trail. Witnesses told the Observer that the pilot had landed, dropped off a woman, then took off with two adults and a child.
Moments later, witnesses said, the plane clipped some trees and landed near a fairway at the golf course.
The four people aboard the plane were taken to Carolinas Medical Center. All of them are expected to recover, officials said. The plane was registered to a man from the Columbia area.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
