Why Fund Costs Are Falling
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Fund investors have been dumping expensive mutual funds and gravitating toward low-cost choices.
According to a recent study by the Investment Company Institute, expense ratios for the average investor in equity funds dropped from 1.0% in 2003 to 0.79% last year.
Part of the decline can be attributed to the fact that shareholders have become savvier about shopping for bargains.
But much of the change is due to an upheaval in the operations of financial advisers. Because of a big change in how they are compensated, more advisers have been steering clients toward the cheapest funds.
In the past, advisers -- who account for half of all mutual fund sales -- often made more money by selling expensive funds. Where the Next Boom Is Coming From >> In a typical transaction, the shareholder would pay a load, or sales commission, of 5%. When a client invested $10,000 into a fund, $500 of the total went to the adviser. In some cases, the advisers got additional fees and incentives for selling the load funds. Many load funds had steep annual expense ratios, but that didn't discourage advisers from recommending the investments. Advisers had big incentives to collect the up-front commissions, and less reason to worry about the costs that clients faced. Then in recent years, the compensation system for many advisers changed. Instead of collecting a sales commission every time a client buys a fund, advisers take flat annual fees that are typically 1% of the assets in an account. Many advisers now recommend no-load funds, which do not charge commissions. In this new world, an adviser automatically gets paid more as a client's assets increase. That gives the adviser a clear incentive to make the client wealthier. To appreciate why assets have been pouring into cheap funds, consider an adviser who is comparing two similar funds for a client. 10 Forces Conspiring Against Your Savings >> One fund charges an annual expense ratio of 1.5%, while the other charges 0.5%. If the adviser recommends the more expensive fund, he knows that the client will pay 1 percentage point more in fees, which will disappear into the pockets of the fund company.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Barefoot Cellars Bubbly Brut Cuvee
Barefoot Cellars
- California
- United States
The careful blending of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietal grapes has long been the secret to the success of the famous sparkling wines of the Champagne region. The wines of this region have gone down in history as the finest example of France's sparkling produce, and the methods of processing the grapes in this region have been imitated in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are actually seven different grape varietals allowed to be included in a Champagne sparkling wine, although grape varietals such as Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and Pinot Gris are used less and less commonly in its production. Whilst the Chardonnay varietal grapes offer their distinctive biscuit flavor and wonderful astringency, it is the Pinot Noir grapes (most commonly used for producing beautifully light red wines) which give the Champagne wines their length and backbone.
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.

Learning Curve: Resigning
By Stefan Stern, managementtoday.co.uk, Thursday, 01 September 2011 12:00AM
'I quit!': the magic words so many of us dream of pronouncing, possibly to be followed by '... and you know where you can stick your ******* job!'.
What is it? Resigning remains the final, nuclear option for the disgruntled employee. It's the one liberty we all still have: to walk away. Not many were convinced a few months ago when Rebekah Brooks said she had offered her resignation to News International, but it hadn't been accepted. You can always resign. You just go. It may not necessarily be a good idea, but there is comfort in that knowledge.
Where did it come from? Slaves can't resign. They turn up or die. But the rest of us, in theory, have the option of quitting. It was not always so. Labourers in feudal times worked or they starved (sometimes they worked and starved). The only alternative was to travel to seek work elsewhere, which was rarely a practical option. Indeed, before the bicycle and steam trains most people hardly ever moved from where they were born. With industrialisation and mass employment came the option of resigning to do something else. But it is often a risk. An old union adage? Never quit - get sacked (and compensation) instead.
Where is it going? There was a lot of it about over the summer, with top cops and executives flying out of the doors before you could say 'press release'. With journalists and more vocal analysts enjoying the thrill of the chase, no CEO can be certain there won't be a call for his or her resignation at any time. Maximum transparency and scrutiny mean that, should you make a slip, the R word will be thrown at you in an instant.
If you do want to go, fine. If not - you will just have to resign yourself to the situation.
Gradient: A steep and challenging climb.

8 Stocks Spiking on Unusual Volume
Osiris Therapeutics
Osiris Therapeutics (OSIR - Get Report) is a stem cell therapeutic company. It focuses on developing and marketing products to treat serious medical conditions in the inflammatory, autoimmune, orthopedic and cardiovascular areas. This stock is trading up 15.4% at $10.60 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 1.2 million
Average Volume: 205,531 Volume % Change: 861% >>Hot Biotech Stocks Traded by Hedge Funds From a technical perspective, OSIR is soaring here on monster volume. This move has triggered a near-term breakout trade once OSIR took out Friday's high of $9.40 with heavy volume. That said, OSIR has now entered extremely overbought territory since its current relative strength index reading is 81.27. Traders should now only look for long-biased trades if OSIR is trending above today's high with strong upside volume flows. At last check, this stock has hit an intraday high of $11.58. I would consider any upside volume action that's near or above 205,531 shares as bullish. If OSIR fails to take out today's high with volume, then traders should wait for a significantly pullback off overbought levels before getting interested in this stock.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

3 Color EDF
Move your mouse over the above traditional F/8 image to view the traditional image stopped down 6 times
The above image is of inclined crayons from a traditional F/8 imaging system. The depth of field is less than one crayon width. The foreground and background are badly blurred due to misfocus. By moving your mouse over the above image you can see the same image only with the F# increased by 6 (reducing the aperture diameter by a factor of six). This increases the depth of field to include all of the crayons. The spatial resolutions and image SNR are both badly degraded in comparison to the full aperture system. The major noise component is due to quantization errors.
Move your mouse over the above F/8 cubic phase mask raw image to view the filtered F/8 cubic phase mask image
The above image is a raw image of inclined crayons from a traditional F/8 imaging system with a cubic phase optical mask. The image appears uniformly blurred throughout the entire image. If you move your mouse over the above image you can see the same image after filtering. The filtering performed is a 25 rectangularly separable 1-D convolution followed by a 2x2 median operation. The same filter was used on each color channel.
The above images illustrate the benefit of wavefront coding for increased depth of field. Compared with stopping down the lens, the optical/digital method of increasing depth of field offers a higher spatial resolution and much lower signal-to-noise ratio loss. The image artifacts noticeable near the edges of adjacent crayons are due to aliasing. No antialiasing or low pass filter was used on this system.

The ACLU has launched its own database of documents leaked by Edward Snowden as well as other disclosures regarding at activities of the NSA. The ACLU says the documents will serve as a primary source for understanding the government's interpretation of its authority under the law.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Keywords: ACLU, database, NSA, edward snowden, documents
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A new ACLU database will serve as a publicly-accessible repository of up-to-date documents leaked and disclosed by Edward Snowden, the media, and government sources regarding the NSA and government monitoring activities.
A year ago, former NSA contractor and now fugitive, Edward Snowden risked his freedom and his life to release documents to the media that revealed the National Security Agency's spy myriad programs. Those programs were ostensibly targeting foreign intelligence targets however the methods they used to gather data often included a massive "by catch" of domestic traffic.
Donate a Bible to those who hunger for the Word.
Later revelations showed that the NSA had little regard for the privacy of American's data and the Fourth Amendment, sweeping up the records of nearly all Americans without regard. American telecommunications companies were required to hand over volumes of data and back-doors into email servers were routinely exploited.
The NSA also managed to construct and open a facility in Utah which is widely thought to give them real-time monitoring capability.
The executive has long maintained these actions are legal, as certified by a secret court within the department itself.
Despite these claims, the NSA has been caught abusing its monitoring power which seems only to grow. Included in those abuses are tips secretly provided to the IRS and law enforcement agencies, against the rule of law. In at least one case, the IRS falsified documents before a court to conceal the source of their information on the suspect of an audit.
In other cases, individual agents have been accused of using the power of the agency to spy on love interests and to possibly harass others.
The ACLU says the documents regarding NSA activity should have never been secret in the first place. Critics also say there is no evidence the massive NSA programs have made Americans safer or stopped even a single terror attack. Instead, it's about power, according to Edward Snowden.

She and Him's latest album Volume Two doesn't come out until March 23 but is now available to stream on NPR music. Yes, the whole thing. It is as delightfully heartwarming and cheeky as Volume One.
The duo of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward released Volume One in March, 2008. The album blew away most of the skeptics who were cynical about folk crooner M. Ward pairing up with cutesy actress Deschanel who's most famous song to that point was "Baby, It's Cold Outside" from the movie Elf.
Volume Two features a guest spot from Tilly and the Wall on "In the Sun." The album will also feature a cover of NRBQ's single "Ridin' in My Car" from 1977 and "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" by Skeeter Davis.

and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump
perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession
and spinning around to throw a strike
to the outlet who is already shoveling
an underhand pass toward the other guard
scissoring past a flat-footed defender
who looks stunned and nailed to the floor
in the wrong direction, trying to catch sight
of a high, gliding dribble and a man
letting the play develop in front of him
in slow motion, almost exactly
like a coach's drawing on the blackboard,
both forwards racing down the court
the way that forwards should, fanning out
and filling the lanes in tandem, moving
together as brothers passing the ball
between them without a dribble, without
a single bounce hitting the hardwood
until the guard finally lunges out
and commits to the wrong man
while the power-forward explodes past them
in a fury, taking the ball into the air
by himself now and laying it gently
against the glass for a lay-up,
but losing his balance in the process,
inexplicably falling, hitting the floor
with a wild, headlong motion
for the game he loved like a country
and swiveling back to see an orange blur
floating perfectly though the net.

The Amen is the legendary "Amen Break", packed in a powerful VST Plugin. No more wasting Your time with slicing and re-arranging Your Amen Break wave file. Just play Your MIDI, turn some knobs and make beats. The Amen Break is already sliced up into it's single drum hits. Each single slice can be triggered by it's own MIDI note. It can be rearranged with no limits, so that You can produce the "Amen"- beat of your choice. It has two types of amp envelopes, one main envelope, which has effect to all slices, and each single slice additionally has it's own envelope for more individual tweakings. It has a multimode filter, an ADSR filter envelope, two LFO's and an effects section with phaser, bitcrusher, distortion and a reverb. The slices can be played forward and reverse by Velocity strength.
Specifications:Synthesis: Sample-based.Each sinle slice ca be triggered by it's own MIDI note (C1 - A4).1 Resonance Four Pole State Variable Filter, switchable between Low Pass, High Pass, Bandpass and switchable 12/24 dB slope, Resonance can be driven up to self oscillation.1 ADSR Filter Envelope.1 AD Amp Envelope.AD Envelope for each single slice.2 host syncable LFOs.Effects section wit Phaser, Bitcrusher, Distortion and Reverb.Each single slice can be played forward (Velocity set from 0 to 100) and reverse (Velocity set from 101 to 127).Each single slice can be played once or looped (can be set separately for forward and reverse)editable forward start/end positions, editable reverse start/end positions for each single sliceall functions fully automatable.MIDI Learn function for each knob/buttonNote: if you get error messages about missing .sem files when loading the plugin the first time in your DAW: when you load the plugin the first time, it normally creates a new folder in the dll's directory with the same name of the plugin. In this folder the dll normally will unpack these missing .sem files, which are packed in the dll, but need to be unpacked in the new created folder. It seems that your Windows blocks this process. You have to configurate your VST plugins folder's security options to give the plugin the right permissions which are needed, so that the dll can unpack all needed files. System requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8 (32 bit or 64 bit), any CPU that supports SSE (Intel Pentium III and above, AMD XP and above, Multicore CPU recommended), 128 MB RAMca. 15 MB Diskspace, 32 bit VST Host Software. (Cubase, FL Studio, Ableton Live or similar)Important for Ableton Live users: if You have problems with automations (not available) You need a configuration file in Your Ableton "Preferences" folder. Just click HERE to download this configuration file. Unzip it into "C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live\Preferences".With this configuration it should work. Note: You need to configurate Your Folder options in Windows control panel to see all hidden folders.Note: This Plugin is just 32 bit (64 bit version is under progress), but may work under some 64 bit VST Host Software that supports also 32 bit pluginsInstall instructions: just unpack the .zip file to Your VST Plugins folder. New update (version 1.2, added 08 Jan. 2015) available. New in this update: Fixed the issue with some not working slices below D3New update (version 1.21, added 08 Jan. 2015) available. New in this update: Optimized pitch bend automation for FL Studio. Note for FL Studio users: 1.) For automation in FL Studio You have to turn a controller with the mouse, then go to FL's "Tools" menu and choose "Last tweaked > Create automation clip". Note: the pitch bend ribbon of the plugin is assigned to external MIDI pitch bend message by default. So it works with the pitch wheel of your external MIDI keyboard. If you want to automate the pitch bend in FL, then right click the plugin's pitch bend ribbon and choose "UnLearn" from the menu. Then tweak the ribbon with your mouse and go to FL's "Tools" option and choose "Last tweaked > Create automation clip".2.)If you want assign a control to a control of your external MIDI controller, don't use Amen's internal MIDI-Learn, because this doesn't work in FL. You have to turn a control with your mouse, then go to FL's "Tools" option and choose "Last tweaked > Link to controller", then move the control of your external MIDI controller. If you've set the plugin's pitch bend ribbon to "UnLearn" like described in point 1.), you also now can re-assign it in FL's "Tools" menu.

Tuck: NBA GM Survey Says…
Posted By Mike Tuck On October 23, 2012 @ 1:39 PM In 1080 Sports,Insider Main,main feature,NBA,TO - Tuck and O'Neill main | No Comments
The only three teams picked to win the title were the Heat, the Lakers, and Thunder.
Only three teams have been picked by the GM's in the last ten years to win it all. Those have been the Lakers, Spurs, and Heat.
The GM's were right 6/10 times.
The most competitive division is the Atlantic, with Boston as the favorite, but NY, Brooklyn, and Philly all getting votes to win it. The Northwest division is the only other one where more than two got votes, even though OKC was a major favorite, Denver and Minnesota drew votes.
What is dumb is that you can't vote for your own team, so Miami voted for Boston to win the East. That was the only vote that didn't go to the Heat.
LeBron James and Kevin Durant got all but one MVP vote. That one other went to Carmelo Anthony. I'd like to ask that GM why he thinks that.
LeBron was named most athletic for a 9th straight season. Tough to argue with that.
Who is going to have a breakout season? Well, 16 players received one vote each. The Warrior's Klay Thompson led the way with 4 votes. Last year James Harden was the pick. Nice pick.
Kevin Durant received a vote as the best shooting guard, a position he hasn't played since his rookie season. He was second behind LeBron at SF. LeBron was first at SF and 3rd at PF, a position he may start at this season after a postseason and an Olympics of playing time there.
In 2007 Tim Duncan was voted best PF and C.
The Lakers made the best, and the most surprising moves with Nash and Howard.
Good news Magic fans: The GM's regard both Maurice Harkless and Andrew Nicholson as sleepers for the rookie class.
On the other hand, one GM voted Christian Eyenga, who the Magic acquired as part of the Dwight Howard trade, as an international breakout player. Orlando cut him today.
Kobe Bryant was named the toughest player in the league. I'd say so.
OKC has the best home court advantage.
8 players got votes for best shooter. JJ Redick was not one of them. Hard to argue with guys that did get votes though.
Ray Allen was voted best shooter, and has been 10 of the last 11 years. Only Peja Stojakovic out-polled him in 2004.
Kevin Durant supplanted Kobe Bryant as the player they would want taking a shot with the game on the line. Kobe had been the choice for the past ten years. Kobe was second to KD.

Does archosaur phylogeny hinge on the ankle joint?
Dyke, Gareth J. (1998) Does archosaur phylogeny hinge on the ankle joint? Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 18, (3), 558-562. (doi:10.1080/02724634.1998.10011083).
Full text not available from this repository.
Cladistic phylogenies of the archosaur ingroup are reviewed in light of recent concerns regarding an over-dependence on characters relating to tarsal and pedal morphology. The use of simple statistical techniques shows that the exclusion of ankle characters from recent cladistic phylogenies has no significant effect on the relative support of relationships proposed. Contrary to current opinion, ankle characters should be considered unimportant when attempting to reconstruct the broad shape of archosaur phylogeny

Which MMOs have great PVP?

As mentioned the actual piloting isn't as "twitchy" as sto can be but it's still fantastic. Anyone who can learn the nuances of manual ship movement can take on a small gang of bads and be successful though.
The real appeal for me is that anyone can be attacked anywhere, even in "high security" space. There are no safe zones where a player is physically unable to iniitate aggression against another player, only NPC space police that will punish the aggressor, often after the target has been killed if you're doing it right. Also, loss is loss, your ship is blown up and you need another one, and whoever killed you can take your stuff that survives the explosion.
The only negative thing I can think to say about PVP in eve is that ofc since the losses are "real", this leads to "blobbing" by terrible players (there are a lot) who are afraid to lose their pixels and it can be time consuming to find good 1v1 fights. I don't think this can be applied to this game because there are too many carebears that play the game and they would start a riot.
Great pvp when you can find it. However the grind involved with character development makes even korean game designers balk at the absurdity of it. Combat is entirely fps style, you have to aim your arrows, magic, and melee; no tab targeting, no "invisibility" stealth. Plus side, if you have money to burn you can buy a built up character account, I really can't put how ridiculous the grind is into words, you have to see it for yourself.
It's basically oblivion online, where your skills go up through actual use (they have recently added offline skilling a la eve style, but only established players with a lot of gold built up can take advantage of it). Also, since there is territory to be owned and lost, coupled with full loot pvp, it has the same problems as EVE in that *****es and baddies who are afraid to lose their pixels band together in huge zergs and it can be hard to find ~goodfights~~~~. Definitely would not translate well to this game with the aforementioned sheltered carebear population.
Guild Wars:
Pretty good pvp. The game is heavily instanced and there is no open or world pvp, but everyone has the option to make a PVP only character that is maximum level and has access to all the skills and the best equipment. All the EQ in the game is standardized, the only difference between the pvp and pve gear is cosmetics.
There are a bunch of classes and skills, but everyone is limited to only using 8 skills at a time. The amount of viable builds are enormous, there are very few if any "bad" or unworkable skills, I'd say is one of the best balanced games currently available. I haven't played it in literally years though because I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie and I love the thrill of having my stuff at risk if I mess up, as much as I love looting the corpses of people I just roflstomped.
This model would be the most compatible with STO however very unlikely to happen since you people spend too much money on respec tokens already and cryptic would never want to lose that honeypot.

So many changes in procurement rules leave the government/industry relationship on a shaky footing
At a recent breakfast gathering, a group of industry executives listened closely to a speech by the Obama administration's new procurement policy chief. They know his words can help them find their bearings in this administration. They also know he can just as easily turn their lives as government contractors into toil and trouble.
For those nervous execs, getting the attention of Daniel Gordon, administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, is as important as hearing from him. Many industry experts say the Obama administration is creating an almost adversarial relationship with government contractors by pursuing various policies and practices without regard to how they might play in the real world. These execs came, hoping to hear Gordon say that's not necessarily so.

In his speech, Gordon said he's working to "rebalance" the relationship between government and industry. Rebalancing essentially means insourcing government work that had been largely outsourced during the George W. Bush regime. Right now, the relationship is lopsided, Gordon said, with the public sector seemingly handcuffed to the private sector.
"I can guarantee you there will be change," he said.
Gordon's viewpoint, aligned with the president's, adds more turbulence to the major procurement transformations of the past year, which included an emphasis on insourcing federal work. Gordon wants to shove contractors further away from the inner workings of government contracting decisions, which is not necessarily a bad thing but poses some tough business and ethical questions.
"There are too many anecdotes that suggest work that is really inherently governmental — work that needs to be reserved for federal employees — is, in fact, being done by contractors," Gordon said. There's no "evil intent." Instead it might be a sign of the oppressive times, he said.
But if the rules are going to change, contractors want clear lines — as Gordon said he also does — so they won't cross into forbidden territory without even knowing it. "We'd welcome bright lines," said Arnold Punaro, executive vice president at Science Applications International Corp.
Both government and industry need clear lines to define inherently governmental functions. For more than a year, the OFPP staff has tried to demarcate what is and what is not a job that only a federal employee can do. They published draft guidelines in the Federal Register March 31 to clarify the definition of inherently governmental functions, or jobs that government workers should perform instead of private contractors. They based the single, governmentwide definition on the Federal Activities Inventory Reform Act, which defines such functions as intimately related to an agency's operations. The guidelines should be finalized by the fall after various stakeholders comment on them.
Gordon has said a policy letter on the issue — the fourth of its kind related to inherently governmental duties — is coming soon. The letter also will try to address what are known as critical, or core, functions. Those jobs aren't work that only a federal employee can do but are as close as you can get. Officials want to make sure agency employees can do the work so they won't depend as much on the private sector.
However, experts say government and industry can't move too far away from each other or build a Berlin wall between them.
Henry "Trey" Obering, retired Air Force lieutenant general and now senior vice president at Booz Allen Hamilton, said the barriers won't help government managers or contractors. Contractors who were once eager to do more work than required won't be so willing to work overtime or postpone a vacation to help an agency if the government/industry relationship becomes icy.
Obering said managers who meet regularly with contractors get good insight into what's happening and can share their expectations. Often, "it's what you didn't see that hurts you," he said.
The Air Force recently settled a court case in which it didn't follow insourcing guidelines. It didn't notify a small business about its insourcing considerations, and it didn't do a fair job analyzing its comparable costs to the contractor's.
"This case demonstrates that although the Obama administration may be seeking to insource much of the services the federal government currently fulfills through private contractors, it will not be allowed to do so in a carte blanche manner," Venable law firm states in a newsletter article to clients.
As Gordon and government officials consider rebalancing through insourcing, contractors want the government to be forthright and explain what's happening. As it stands, the battle lines are being drawn between the government's steps to insource and contractors' desires to save their livelihood.
Industry and government would do best to draw lines for clarity, not for battle.
