Southeast US
Bat houses in the Southeast United States should be:
- attached at least 15 feet high
- free from obstructions with at least 20 feet of open space
- facing east to southeast to gain exposure to sunlight
- painted white or left natural
Different bat species in the Southeast region prefer various roosting temperatures. Some bats prefer their bat house to be in full sun, while others prefer partial sun and yet other species will be attracted to bat houses placed in the shade.
The placement of your bat house plays a major role in the internal temperature. Houses can be attached to structures such as poles, sides of buildings and tall trees without obstructions. The area under the bat house should be clear, allowing the bats to fly in and out. There should be at least 20 feet of open space around the bat house. Houses placed on poles and structures tend to become occupied quicker than houses placed on trees. Your bat house should be mounted at least 15 feet above the ground, the higher the house the greater the chance of attracting bats.
If deciding to attract bats that choose to roost in full sun, bat houses should face east to southeast to take advantage of the morning sun. You can paint your bat house white, or leave natural. Paint only the outside of your bat house and use a non-toxic, latex paint.
Bats return from migration and awaken from hibernation as early as March in most of the U.S., but stay active year-round in the extreme southern U.S. They will be abundant through out the summer and into early fall. Approximately half of all bat houses are occupied within the first summer and up to 80% are occupied within the first 2-3 years. If bats do not roost in your house by the end of the third summer, move the house to a different location. It is also helpful to attach more than one bat house in your yard in order to provide bats with different housing options and increase your chances of having an occupied bat house.
Bats that Commonly Use Bat Houses in the Southeast
- Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus)
- Evening Bat (Nycticeius humeralis)
- Mexican Free-Tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensi)
- Southeastern Bat (Myotis austroriparius)
- Tri-colored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus)

3611 18th street
san francisco, ca 94110
stop number one on a three night bay area eating tour that included almost fifteen eateries and nine michelin stars was 18th street in san francisco's mission district. the first of my three targets was pizzeria delfina, a seven year old space next door to the popular italian restaurant simply called delfina. pizzeria delfina features pizzas inspired by chef craig stoll's favorite new york style pies along with the neapolitan offerings in naples.
reviews on yelp informed me that wait times were often long given the restaurants popularity and small size, so to combat this, we arrived at an off hour (3pm). the indoor space was indeed quite small yet very appealing visually, with a chalkboard menu, eames eiffel chairs, and a mural running along one of the walls. luckily for us there was a table for four available outside, and given the beautiful weather we jumped at the chance to dine al fresco.
spicy cauliflower - garlic, capers, breadcrumbs, calabrian chilies
the cauliflower was a fantastic start to our meal with subtle heat from chilies and added weight from the breadcrumbs. this is a must order if you like cauliflower.
prosciutto pie - prosciutto di parma, caciocavallo, mozzarella, panna, arugula
crispy crust with a somewhat softer center, savory meats, mild cheese, and bitter greens. this was a huge hit.
margherita - tomato, fior di latte mozzarella, basil
while not as good as the prosciutto, the margherita was a great interpretation of the style. the crust here was much more moist in the center than the prosciutto. note that both pies arrived pre-cut.
while i will admit that one of the main reasons i chose pizzeria delfina was its close proximity to two other must try spots on my list, i still went in with pretty high expectations and honestly our experience at pizzeria delfina really couldn't have been much better. the pizzas were both great as expected, and the cauliflower was an unexpected treat. as for the service, everyone was extremely friendly, with one of the servers being very informative when asked what the best/most scenic route to napa valley would be. add to all of this the fact that just about every song played overhead could be found on my ipod and you have a place i would return to in a heartbeat.

The justified Resident ID Card?
Less than a week ago, it was announced that our dusty laminated cards may soon serve as nifty e-wallets.
February 3, 2013 2:37 by kippreport
Let's face it, the UAE's Emirates ID gets too much attention. Even with that statement being arguably subjective, no mere form of national identification should be worthy of this digital omnipresence. Having said that, Kipp talking about it now does negate the point of the opening line so I hope you'll excuse this touch of hypocrisy.
The reality is that this mandatory national ID is unlike any other. It certainly feels like it was created and imposed, only to find uses for it later. In fact, with all our winging and moaning about it having been an 'unnecessary burden', its existence continues to be justified on a regular basis which can only mean one thing: the Emirates Identity Authority has heard us.
Less than a week ago, it was announced that our dusty laminated cards may soon serve as nifty e-wallets. Again, 'soon' here is questionable because it's only likely to happen by 2015. Dr Ali Mohammad Al Khoury, Emirates ID Director General said that the card will become mandatory for all banking transactions and will help banks save quite a bit of time. "Emirates ID is exploring the ways to prevent possible misuse of ID card [in e-wallet system], such as identity theft and other frauds. We are exploring a foolproof security system to avoid any risks," he was quoted as saying.
Personally, I haven't found any use of the card yet and I know plenty of others that haven't either but with its significance being echoed and re-polished frequently, it's only a matter of time before we do. Earlier, when the ID authority was pressuring residents into signing up they quickly realised that setting and extending deadlines could only be effective to a limited extent. Of course, that's when it was announced that no visas would be issued or renewed without it.
Some say it is typical bureaucratic red tape, while others accept it as it is.
And finally, in case you haven't already been informed, the card is due to be renamed this month. Perhaps I shouldn't have been referring to it by its old name throughout this piece but then again, how many people are really referring to Al Diyafah Road as 2nd December Street? Give it time.
Ironically, after years of warnings and extended deadlines to ensure that every resident is pushed into signing up for this card, they've decided the name didn't quite hit the spot. In the interest of preserving a clear division between the country's residents (expats) and citizens, it will be changed from National ID/Emirates ID to Resident Identity Card. Just to clear up any confusion, you see.
The good news? You needn't get anything altered for now, you can wait until your visa needs renewing. Until then, enjoy an organised and queue-free life.

Golf outing raises money for Gilmore-Henne Foundation
Published: May 03 2012 08:00:00 PM EDT
Updated On: May 04 2012 06:06:18 PM EDT
Two NFL stars from Berks County hit the links with 170 other people Friday afternoon.
The golf outing at Berkshire Country Club in Bern Township raised money for the Gilmore-Henne Foundation.
The money will be used to fix and build parks, and establish park programs.
"We're building a fully adaptive playground at the Opportunity House on June 23 for disabled body kids and able body kids and kids with autism," said John Gilmore. "There aren't too many parks like it in Berks County."
The foundation is also planning to upgrade a playground in the West Lawn area.

Mega Man 6, known in Japan as Rockman 6 Shijō Saidai no Tatakai!! (ロックマン6 史上最大の戦い!! Rokkuman Shikkusu Shijō Saidai no Tatakai!!?, lit. "Rockman 6: The Greatest Battle Ever!!"), is a video game developed by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is the sixth installment in the original Mega Man series and was originally released in Japan on October 5, 1993 and in North America the following March. It was included in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection released in 2004. Its first PAL region release was June 11, 2013 for the 3DS Virtual Console, nearly twenty years after the game's first release.
The story of Mega Man 6 opens during a competitive robot fighting tournament with entrants from all around the globe. A villainous figure known as "Mr. X" announces he has reprogrammed the eight powerful contestants with intent to use them for taking over the world. The game's robotic protagonist Mega Man, who was sent to oversee the tournament, springs into action to foil X's plot. A standard action-platformer, Mega Man 6 plays nearly identically to its five predecessors with a few added features such as stages with alternate pathways and new Rush adaptors.
Mega Man 6 is the first game in the series to receive character design input from fans outside of Japan. This late-era game was also the last in the series released on Nintendo's 8-bit console. Due to the declining support of the NES and the growing presence of the newer and more powerful Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Capcom decided not to publish Mega Man 6 in North America. The North American version of Mega Man 6 was released by Nintendo of America instead. Critical reviews favored the game's comparable presentation and use of the established gameplay model from preceding chapters in the series, though nearly all judged it a redundant sequel.
While the first five Mega Man games are available on the Wii's Virtual Console, this game is absent from the Wii Shop Channel; however the game was released via the 3DS Virtual Console in Japan and Europe, with North America on June 20, 2013. It was also released via the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan on May 14, 2014, in Europe on July 24, 2014[5] and in North America on August 21, 2014.[6]
Mega Man 6's story takes place after the events of Mega Man 5. The first annual "Robot Masters Tournament" is held in order to test the designing capabilities of the world's greatest robotics engineers.[7] The tournament is hosted by a man known only as "Mr. X" and many strong Robot Masters participate. Dr. Light, a pacifist, decides not to enter the competition, but sends the robotic hero Mega Man to supervise it. Near the end of the event, Mr. X announces that he has reprogrammed the eight finalist robots to do his bidding in taking over the world: Blizzard Man, Centaur Man, Flame Man, Knight Man, Plant Man, Tomahawk Man, Wind Man, and Yamato Man, and tells Mega Man he had been manipulating Dr Wily from the beginning.[8][9] Dr. Light immediately orders Mega Man to put an end to Mr. X's plan. Mega Man destroys the eight Robot Masters, then makes his way to Mr. X's fortress. The villain is beaten and quickly removes his disguise, revealing himself as none other than Dr. Wily, Mega Man's nemesis.[8] The evil scientist flees to a new fortress stronghold where Mega Man pursues and defeats him again. The game ends with Dr. Wily finally brought to justice and sent to prison.[10]
The gameplay in Mega Man 6 is largely similar to its five NES counterparts.[8][11] The player takes control of Mega Man to complete a series of side-scrolling platform stages littered with smaller robot enemies and occasional larger mini-bosses. The player's primary method of attack is the "Mega Buster" cannon, which can be charged for more powerful shots. At the end of each of the initial eight stages is a boss battle, where the player inherits that Robot Master's unique "Master Weapon" if successful.[7] These eight levels can be completed in any order, although all Robot Masters are weak to a specific Master Weapon, adding an element of strategy to the order chosen by the player.[8] The player's health is represented by a gauge that can be refilled by picking up energy pellets. Extra lives, reserve energy tanks, and pellets that refill Master Weapon power can also be found throughout each level. Mega Man 6 introduces the "Energy Balancer", which automatically refills the weapon with the lowest energy when picking up Master Weapon power.[7][12]
Previous Mega Man games typically allowed the player to call on the transformable dog Rush or use other support items in order to traverse difficult or otherwise inaccessible parts of a stage. Mega Man 6 instead features a pair of "Rush Adaptors" that fuse Mega Man and Rush into special forms. The first, "Jet Mega Man", lets the player fly upward or hover for a brief period of time, but prevents the use of charge shots. The second, "Power Mega Man", utilizes a powerful, short-range punch attack for destroying large blocks.[7][8] The player cannot slide when using either adapter. Mega Man 6 also presents less linear ways to complete the stages than in previous entries in the series. There are two pathways in many of the stages that lead to boss rooms, but the player is often required to use one of the Rush adaptors to begin an alternate route. Although either one will clear the stage, only one of them will give the player a letter circuit board for assembling the helper bird Beat.[8][13] Collecting all four parts will allow the player to call on Beat to attack enemies.[7]
Mega Man 6 was developed at the same time as the franchise's first spin-off, Mega Man X for Nintendo's newer console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Series artist Keiji Inafune, credited as "Inafking", stated that having a video game franchise with six titles is very rare, and one of the advantages to this is that players expect certain aspects of each game to be repeated in the next.[1] After having implemented so many different mechanics to the gameplay of past entries, Inafune thought that Rush adaptor assembly was inevitable. The artist struggled with the adaptor designs and ultimately found them to be unrealistic. According to Inafune, "If you think about it, they shouldn't be able to combine like this. It would be awkward if parts of Rush like his neck were left over after they combined, so what was I supposed to do?"[1]
The Robot Masters featured in some of the previous Mega Man games were the result of design contests held in Japan, in which fans of the series would submit their character ideas to Capcom. Keeping with the tradition, Japan held a design contest for Mega Man 6. After the release of Mega Man 5, the magazine Nintendo Power held a similar contest in North America.[1][14] Only eight out of the more than 200,000 worldwide character submissions for Mega Man 6 were accepted for the game.[1] Six of the Robot Masters were designed by Japanese fans, while the remaining two (Knight Man and Wind Man) were designed by North American fans who entered the Nintendo Power contest.[8][12][13][15] The North American cover of the game pays homage to the two designers by featuring their Robot Masters on it. Inafune admitted that it was stressful when the last characters being designed for the game were not meeting with the development team's schedule.[16] He concluded, "For having hit a lot of roadblocks, I feel like we got a lot done for 6. The theme for our designs was 'The world is our stage,' and I really enjoyed bringing what I felt was the unique flavor of different countries into the game."[1] Yuko Takehara, credited as "Yuko", composed the musical score for Mega Man 6.[17] Takehara collaborated with several other composers for the follow-up Mega Man 7 in 1995.[18]
A few months after the publication of Mega Man 5, Capcom announced the sixth installment in the original series, as well as Mega Man Soccer and Mega Man X for the SNES,[19] making Mega Man 6 the last title in the franchise to be released on the 8-bit NES. Capcom chose not to publish the game outside Japan. Instead, Nintendo of America published it in March 1994. Such a late release on the aging NES ensured its relative commercial obscurity among concurrent releases.[15][20] Before the NES era in North America was about to end, Nintendo of America made a plan to help sell it along with Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II and the NES version of Wario's Woods, which were also published by Nintendo in North America during the same time. Their plan was to release the top-loading NES-101 for a retail price of $49.99 to attract consumers to buying the updated version of the original NES along with one or more new titles for the console, including Mega Man 6.[21] The game was also showcased alongside Mega Man X at the 1994 Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.[22] Mega Man 6 was re-released for the PlayStation in 1999 as part of the Rockman Complete Works series exclusive to Japan.[3] This version of the game features a number of extras including remixed music, artwork galleries, and a "navi mode" to help guide players.[23] A port of the Complete Works edition was released on the North American-exclusive Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube in 2004 and Xbox in 2005.[24][25] Mega Man 6 was released on Japanese mobile phones via the i-mode service in 2007.[4]
Reception and legacy[edit]
Reception | ||||||||||||||
Mega Man 6 has enjoyed a favorable reception from gaming publications and websites. The graphics, play control, challenge level, and added power-ups were generally praised. GamePro was impressed with some of the newer enemies and larger mid-stage bosses, but was displeased with the game's recycling of Master Weapons seen in previous Mega Man games. Overall, the magazine described the graphics, audio, and level design in Mega Man 6 as standard fare for the franchise and called the game a "rock of reliable NES fun" in a series that is as "predictable as the tide".[11] Destructoid editor Tony Ponce considered Mega Man 6 the best game in the entire series. He argued that the game "was retro before retro was cool" due to Capcom's decision to develop it as a higher profile game on the NES during the era of fourth generation consoles. He also expressed appreciation for its music, introductions for each Robot Master, and the use of branching pathways in each level, among many other reasons.[30] Nintendo Power listed Mega Man 6 as the best NES game of 1993, stating, "His sixth NES adventure, in which he uses two new, Special Power-Ups, might just be his best".[31] Craig Skistimas of ScrewAttack also appreciated these innovations and regretted missing out on the game when it was first released.[13] Mega Man 6 is listed by IGN as the 58th best game on the NES. The writers summarized, "Mega Man 6 is considered by many to be the last worthwhile NES release in the catalog, and though that's not saying much when looking at the title's contemporaries, Mega Man 6 is still as good as it gets in many respects."[32]
However, Mega Man 6 was nearly universally criticized for lacking originality, particularly with regard to its plot. GameSpot editors Christian Nutt and Justin Speer labeled Mega Man 6 the "cheesiest" among the NES titles: "If you're looking for mega-laughs, you might want to try this one out."[33] 1UP.com contributors likewise found that the game's "inane" storyline and villains both insult fans of the series and outweigh the game's good soundtrack and interesting power-ups.[20][34] The four members of the Electronic Gaming Monthly review panel all voiced similar opinions regarding the game's familiar 8-bit presentation and its addition to the already repetitive nature of the series. One reviewer commented, "OK, Mega Man was fun and original back in the days when the letters 'N E S' meant something. Now the game is just getting redundant. Oh sure, Mega Man may learn a few new tricks here and there but this series has to end soon."[27]

Officials with Gaylord Entertainment Co. say they are concerned that plans for a publicly financed, $300 million Marriott-run convention hotel in Nashville, Tenn., could pose unwanted competition for the company's 2,881-room Opryland Resort & Convention Center. The new, 1,000-room hotel would have as much as 100,000 square feet of meeting space, and a Gaylord official said the project would likely only get a third of its guests from convention center business, meaning it would have to generate business -- and pose significant competition, in order to keep rooms filled.

a few years ago i was on the verge of buying a 202 but a friend suggested that the "swing" mechanism tends to hang (in the center of the track ) and cause banding. is this a typical problem? or was this suggested because he knew that i was broke and it was probably a better idea for me to spend my $$ of food and shelter rather than photographic equipment.
if this sort of "hang-thing" does happen, is there a way to fix it, or is it just one of those quirky things that makes the camera akin to a state of mind ( like other lomos)?

A group that promotes environmental sustainability is working with Charlotte employers, residents and governments to encourage people to turn off their lights for one hour.
Envision Charlotte wants people to turn off their lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday as part of Earth Hour, known as the world's largest public environmental action.
In Charlotte, participants include Duke Energy Center, One Wells Fargo, Bank of America Corporate Center, and the Hearst Tower. In a letter last month, Mayor Anthony Foxx challenged all Charlotte-area businesses to join the effort.
Mecklenburg County will turn out lights at the Civil Courthouse, the County & Courts Office Building, the New Courthouse, and the Judge Clifton E. Johnson Building. The City will turn out lights at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center and Old City Hall.

When I plumbed the base for my 70 foot freestanding tower I used one of these gadgets: http://www.wixey.com/anglegauge/index.html I checked it six ways to Sunday beforehand and found it to be way more accurate than anything else I had available, and repeatable to +/- 0.1 degree. Notice that I didn't say it was ACCURATE to a tenth of a degree, but that's only because I didn't have anything that accurate to check it against. All that's really required, though, is to make sure all tower legs give the same reading in order for the tower to be vertical .... even for a tapered tower. For $40 (shipping included) it isn't much more expensive than a decent level. Irregularities in the surface plating of the tower could affect the reading over the small size of the Wixey, but the easy remedy for that is simply to attach the Wixey to a length of known straight steel before slapping it up against the tower leg. 73, Dave AB7E On 7/30/2010 12:30 AM, Roger (K8RI) wrote: >> Making a straight tower vertical would only require the help of a good >> level applied to the bottom section. >> >> > Depends on the accuracy of the level. > > Theodolite is probably the most accurate if you can find one to rent. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |

South Port's acquisition last year of the former Southland Cool Stores helped lift its half-year after-tax profit to $2.9 million from $2.54 million a year ago.
The half-year result was boosted by the addition of Southland Cool Stores cold-storage operation, plus increased fish cargo being stored at South Port's Island Harbour cold-storage facility, chief executive Mark O'Connor said in a statement.
The interim dividend was up from 5.5c last year to 6.5c, and it was intended to repeat a full-year dividend of 20cCargo activity for the six months was down 9%, from 1.39 million to 1.26 million tonnes.
''The decline in cargo was due primarily to weaker export activity, while overall import movements largely maintained their momentum,'' he said.
There were reduced volumes of petroleum products, aluminium smelter import and export cargo, woodchips and logs, which was partially offset by volume gains in fertiliser, stock food and fish.
South Port estimated its full-year earnings would be between $6 million and $6.4 million.
South Port is constructing an additional 5900sq m dry warehouse at the west end of the Bluff Island Harbour, for bulk cargoes such as stock feed and fertiliser.
South Port pilots did a computer simulation exercise in Brisbane, and successfully assessed that Bluff could safely accommodate vessels up to 260m.

From Market: Global changes shaping long-term trends forecast
January 21, 2008
-- Casual Living,While fashion's influence on home furnishing designs is faster than ever, expect long-term design trends to reflect changing technology, the world economy and the new world order.
That global view was what Robert Idol, Lane Furniture vice president and creative director, directed retailers and designers' attention toward as he discussed trends at a WithIt seminar during the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market.
"We really have to start looking beyond where we are," Idol said. "The world economy is more important today than it has ever been, so it's something we really have to focus on."
Idol reminded attendees how the U.S. dollar has lost its dominant role and shrunk in value in relation to the euro. Because China, India and Russia are emerging as leading countries, their traditionally luxe, richly detailed styles and cultures are starting to influence designs, Idol said. Look for a trickle down of more luxurious materials and graphic patterns with incredible detail.
Both retailers and manufacturers can benefit by catering to these trends:
*Globilization – societies are closely connected, whether through sourcing, Internet or multicultural companies and families;
*Global responsibility – current shift away from the got-to-have-it 1980s;
*Green – eco-friendly products are a hot topic but will develop as more of a craftsman style, marked by unique or custom designs;
*High energy costs – make store visits less frequent and quality and services more important;
*Technology – recognizing how it is changing consumer desires,
*Trading down to trade up – and other changes in consumer buying behavior.
Idol compared rotary telephones, which were available only in black, to today's multipurpose cell phones, available in numerous colors, sizes and for many uses. He noted television's movement from three channels and deep cabinets to hundreds of cable channels and flat screens, up to 150" wide. "We have to realize that consumers are going to demand space for this," Idol said. As technology evolves, home furnishings have to adapt to complement new shapes and sizes.
While consumer surveys show brand does not matter, Idol observed he can walk down any street in any city and see women carrying look-alike designer handbags. He asked the audience their impressions of various logos and got strong response. "So the brand transcends and there is this whole wannabe 'I can't really afford it but I want everyone to think I can' and that's an important segment of the market to play to," he said. "If you can give them quality and value, you are going to have that consumer."
The home furnishings industry has jumped on the bandwagon for eco-friendly green products without having all the answers to consumers' questions. As for the color green, it was all over products at both the Atlanta market and the Showtime fabric fair in late 2007. In some places, bright green appeared for shock value. "People aren't afraid to use color anymore," Idol said.
As with any trend, when one direction becomes commonplace the more style-driven people and companies will reinvent themselves and move onto the next thing, Idol said.
"I think most of us in our industry are glad to see 2007 go away," Idol said. "Everyone's looking forward to 2008 being a better year." He added he doesn't expect a major turnaround until 2009.
Seminar sponsor, Women in the Home Furnishings Industry, marked its 10th anniversary in 2007 by establishing a second scholarship program. For more information, visit www.withit.org.

At the suggestion of Dr. E.M. Burbidge, Dr. G.R. Burbidge, Professor W.A. Fowler, and Professor F. Hoyle, we have carried out a determination of the abundances of platinum and iridium in meteorites. The purpose of the work was to obtain data for a more precise estimation of the abundance peak near mass 195 in the atomic abundance curve, since both the observed(1) and calculated(2) abundances for this interesting γ-process abundance region were only approximate.

A new survey says 92 percent of us adults still get advice from our dads. The most common things we ask Pops about?
When your kids go back to school, it's almost like you go back to school, too. Teachers and childhood development professionals agree that when a child's parents are involved in his education, he learns more and gets better grades. That means, you have just as big a responsibility in his schoolwork as he does.
It's almost that time of year again. In just a few short weeks, Buffalo's students -- from kindergarteners to college seniors -- will be headed back to school. We know hindsight is 20/20 and that you're supposed to learn from, not regret, your mistakes, but our DJs wanted to offer some advice.
When the news broke that J-lo was soon to be available again it was quite a shock. After watching her this year on American Idol I came to the conclusion
This week I asked my wife when is our niece graduating from Newfane High School? Then we both realized it would be in just a couple of weeks! Graduating is both a thrilling , and scary event.
Have you ever wonder why Mr. big has not come knocking on your door? I know men have issues, he's shallow, a jerk blah blah blah. Maybe it's you. According to an article in Ask Men there are five types of women men don't like. I don't know If I agree with this. There is someone for everyone. Even for these five types of women.
Dr. Phil has one of the most successful advice shows on television. I like his straight forward, no nonsense approach

Linoma Software Adds Japanese Firm to Team of Global Partners
Omaha, Neb – July 17,
2012 Download PDF
As Linoma Software continues to expand its global sales initiatives, it has added yet another sales partner to its team. Linoma president Bob Luebbe is pleased to announce a partnership with SOLPAC, a leading software and consulting firm based in Tokyo, Japan.
"The IBM Power Systems market is going strong in Japan," Luebbe said, "and when this opportunity to work with SOLPAC opened up, we immediately began conversations with their Managing Operating Officer, Hiroshi Watanabe, to see how we could build a mutually beneficial relationship."
Brian Pick, Director of Sales at Linoma, is responsible for managing relationships with business partners.
"The timing for us was perfect," Pick said. "Hiroshi happened to be in the U.S. on other business, and we invited him to visit our office and meet our team. It didn't take long to realize that Linoma and SOLPAC are a great fit."
SOLPAC will be marketing Linoma Software's managed file transfer solution, GoAnywhere, to Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. With more than 260 employees and consultants, SOLPAC is a dominant force in the Asian market.
"According to Hiroshi, the Asian market is desperate for a managed file transfer product like GoAnywhere that offers more comprehensive features at a much lower cost entry point," Pick said. "With more than 200 technicians having expertise across multiple platforms, SOLPAC thought GoAnywhere would be exactly the solution his customers were looking for."
In anticipation of SOLPAC's promotion of GoAnywhere, the Linoma Software development team worked with SOLPAC's team to translate GoAnywhere Director and relevant documentation into Japanese.
Steve Luebbe, Senior Software Engineer, spearheaded the translation efforts for Linoma.
"We had a lot to consider when tackling this project," Steve Luebbe said. "Thanks to the team effort with SOLPAC, we were able to generate an accurate and user-friendly translation that we incorporated back into GoAnywhere and shipped as a standard feature."
Pick says Linoma continues to look for opportunities to expand its global reach by working with partners in various markets.
"GoAnywhere is the type of product that customers consider as mission critical to the automation and security of their file transfers," Pick said, "and it's best if they can reach out to someone in their geographic area who speaks their language and understands their business environment who can provide assistance."
Bob Luebbe agrees.
"We have worked very hard to build strong global partnerships," he said. "Our partners make a significant impact on our company's growth, and we're grateful for the relationships we continue to build and strengthen with them."

Mushy peas are served by English Chippies to accompany fried battered fish and chips. In Ireland mushy peas are often served as a side to roast leg of lamb. Whatever way you choose, they are a delicious, easy-to-make side dish.
I serve mushy peas with fish and chips, just like they do in England. My husband lived and worked in London for nearly four years in his younger days and in that time span he grew very fond of fish, chips and mushy peas.
And so after we got married, it was not long before he requested mushy peas. Now in England and Ireland, mushy peas are made using dried marrowfat peas. These are very large peas, which are soaked overnight in water with dissolved bicarbonate of soda.
It is hard to find dried marrowfat peas where I live in America, unless I choose to order them online and pay top dollar. They can even be purchased pre-cooked in cans, but I am not fond of parting with extra cash for something I can recreate in my own kitchen.
My version of mushy peas is made using fresh peas, then I add butter and whipping cream to the mashed peas to create a smoother, creamier texture.
Here is my version using the best-case-scenario, substitute ingredients to recreate this side in an American kitchen.
- 12 oz fresh English peas
- 2 oz salted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
I find fresh English peas at my local Sam's Club. They turn out great. It is important to use a large pea. If you can't find fresh in your area, try a packet of frozen peas, but avoid the petite frozen peas. They are just too small and when mashed there are too many skins and not enough soft pea filling to recreate the appropriate texture.
Pop the peas into a colander and rinse them well, sifting through them for any stones or brown ones.
Transfer the peas to a large saucepan with a steaming basket. Add 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the pan.
Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat and allow the peas to simmer for 10 minutes. This may seem a little long, but if you keep the peas too crispy they don't mash well, to create that lovely mushy pea texture.
When I look at the photo of my steamed peas, I cringe at their wrinkles. I would never overcook peas like this if I was planning to serve plain steamed peas. But if they aren't soft you'll never mash them for mushy peas.
When they are tender, remove them from the heat and drain them.
Next melt the butter in the bottom of a saucepan.
Add the peas and mash with a potato masher. You might want to use a food processor to do this work for you, but I find it very hard to judge the correct texture using a food processor. I tend to end up with pea puree, rather than the perfect mix of mush and semi-solid peas required.
Anyway, at this stage I have already dirtied two saucepans, and the last thing I want to do is add to the clean up by transferring the peas to a food processor. Limit the dishes is always my motto!!!
Next add the whipping cream and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If you want to create an alternative flavor, you can omit the cream and substitute finely chopped mint and two teaspoons of lemon juice. My husband is not fond of mint flavored peas, so I tend to stick with his favorite creamy version.
Serve with fish and chips. Yummy, yummy goodness!!!!
Here is the printable recipe:
Mushy Peas
Serves | 4 |
Prep time | 10 minutes |
Cook time | 15 minutes |
Total time | 25 minutes |
Meal type | Side Dish |
Region | British |
- 12oz fresh English peas
- 2oz salted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Step 1 | Place the peas in a colander and rinse well. |
Step 2 | Transfer the peas to a saucepan with a steaming tray. Add a 1/2 inch of water to the bottom, and turn up the heat. Once the water is boiling turn down the heat and steam the peas for 10 minutes. |
Step 3 | Once the peas are tender, remove from the heat and drain. |
Step 4 | Melt the butter in the bottom of a clean saucepan. Add the steamed peas to the butter. Turn off the heat. |
Step 5 | Using a potato masher, mush the peas. Do not fully puree, but create a textured mush. Add the cream and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. |
Step 6 | Serve with fried battered fish and chips. |
These peas are also delicious served as a side for roasts, or lamb chops. Mushy peas were a highlight of many of my childhood Sunday dinners.
Wishing you all happy pea mushing!!!!

(ABC 6 News) -- "I'm shocked, you know. It's been 10 years since she was murdered and, you know, after a length of time people start to forget. But that has never happened with Evelyn, never, and this is proof of that," said Evelyn Miller's Grandmother Linda Christie.
Bikers put their kickstands up today to support the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The group traveled 150 miles around Iowa, making stops along the way.
"It's wonderful to see this many bikers out. A lot of people don't realize that motorcyclists have the biggest hearts in the world," said ABATE of Iowa District 16 Coordinator Sharon Stone-Husmann.
The second stop was in Floyd, Iowa. The former home to Evelyn Miller, a five-year-old killed in 2005.
"A very special soul, just your typical 5-year-old who loved to roller skate and play dolls. Her brother and her played together. She just, she had that incredible smile. She was just Evelyn," said Christie.
This is the second annual Fun Run for the ABATE of Iowa group. Last year, they raised more than two-thousand dollars, and this year, they expect to raise more.
"All the money we raise goes to the National Center. It does not stay in Iowa, but when we needed them they were here and all the money they collected they pooled it all for us," said Stone-Husmann.
The group will continue to ride for as long as it takes.
"We will continue to do this until we don't have to any longer," said Stone-Husmann.

- You had the sneaky suspicion it would be Tyrell Goulbourne's night after rolling up his Tim Horton's coffee cup and finding out he had won a barbeque. The third year forward then went out on the ice and scored the game winning goal in the Kelowna Rockets 2-1 win Saturday night over the Kamloops Blazers. It was Goulbourne's 5th game winning goal helping his team earn the BC Division regular season title. It was the teams 4th title in franchise history after earning banners in 2011, 2005 and 2004. Here is Goulbourne's game winner: Note: I was so shocked at what I had just witnessed that I was at a loss for words.

Differences of Opinion
While political watchers spent last week looking ahead to primaries in Ohio and Texas, the candidates engaged in a serious debate — over a photo of Barack Obama wearing Somali clothing. (An Obama staffer claimed Hillary Clinton had leaked the shot to make him look Islamic; Clinton's campaign manager said no one had claimed the photo was "divisive" until Obama and his new friend at the Post played it up.) Latecomer Ralph Nader, unsafe at any speed as far as most liberals are concerned, moseyed into the presidential race. Connecticut senator Christopher Dodd backed Obama; Jersey governor Jon Corzine rushed to aid the Clintons in Cleveland. READ MORE »

How can I make breakfast links with no casings similar to the Brown and Serve type. I made some with collagen casings that I was not too pleased with. Is there a trick to make them hold together ? As always I appreciate your time and effort to help folks with their questions.thanks Steve

NotSteve's Pokémon White Adventure Log
With the release of Pokémon White Version I have decided to keep a location-by-location log of the Pokémon I catch, as well as some interesting things I discover. This is NOT to be considered a walkthrough in any sense of the word. Feel free to sound off in the talk section of the article with your opinions and feelings (especially if I'm not supposed to be doing this on this page). Thanks a bunch, NotSteve 0_o

Tokyo, Japan, December 3, 2011 – The FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup Japan 2011 – with three 2012 Olympic Games berths at stake – has been exciting in its first nine days of competition and heats up on the second to last day as the podium race tightens. Six teams are mathematically still in the hunt for one of three 2012 Olympic Games berths awarded through the FIVB World Cup.
Yoyogi National Stadium, Site A for the fourth round, begins with new tournament leader Russia (8-1, 24 points) versus Iran (5-4, 12 points) at 11.00, followed by Poland (8-1, 24 points) against Brazil (6-3, 19 points) at 15.00 and concludes with Italy (6-3, 18 points) versus host Japan (2-7, 8 points) at 18.20. At Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, the Site B competition hall, Serbia (3-6, 9 points) versus China (1-8, 5 points) opens the second to last day of competition at 11.00, followed by Argentina (3-6, 10 points) facing Egypt (1-8, 3 points) at 15.00 and NORCECA rivals Cuba (6-3, 16 points) and USA (5-4, 14 points) taking the court at 18.20.
Although six teams can theoretically gain one of the three Olympic Games spots, the leading contenders are between Russia, Poland, Brazil and Italy with two days of competition remaining. Russia and Poland are 8-1 in the FIVB World Cup with 24 points to hold onto the top two spots, but Russia hold the top spot based on the tiebreaker. Brazil rank third with a 6-3 record, one point ahead of Italy's 6-3 record and 18 points for third and fourth place. Cuba rank fifth with a 6-3 record and 16 points. USA leaped up to sixth place with a 5-4 record and 14 points, while Iran slipped to seventh place with a 5-4 record and 12 points. Argentina are in eighth place with a 3-6 record and 10 points, just one point ahead of Serbia and their 3-6 record. Japan is 10th in the provisional standings with eight points and a 2-7 record. China and Egypt have 1-8 records with five and three points, respectively, for 11th and 12th place.
All told, each of 12 World Cup teams will play 11 matches each over a 15-day schedule.
Men's World Cup Results/Standings, Match Info, Photos or Live Scoring
Fourth Round Pool A at Tokyo Yoyogi National Stadium
Russia versus Iran
Russia won their fifth straight match to improve to 8-1 in the tournament with 24 points following a three-set win over Japan after wins over Serbia (3-0), Argentina (3-0) and Cuba (3-1) in the third round. Russia have only lost to No. 1 Brazil (3-0) on the fourth day of competition. Other Russia victories include Italy (3-1) on the opening day, China (3-0), USA (3-0) and Egypt (3-1).
Iran started the third round with a 4-1 record, but have not fared well in the last four matches with a 1-3 record. Iran, 5-4 overall with 12 points, hold wins over tournament leader Poland (3-2), Argentina (3-2), Serbia (3-2), Egypt (3-0) and host Japan (3-0) with losses to Cuba (3-0), USA (3-0), China (3-0) and Brazil (3-0).
Russia's Maxim Mikhaylov ranks third in Best Scorer with 160 points and leads Best Spiker with a 54.39 attack percent, while teammate Sergey Tetyukhin has added 66 points as part of a balanced offensive team output. Iran's Seyed Mehdi Bazargarde leads his team with 90 points, while Alireza Nadi has added 79 points through nine matches with a second-best 0.82 block average.
Russia and Iran have never met in a FIVB competition until they hit the floor on December 3 at Yoyogi National Stadium.
Poland versus Brazil
Poland kept pace at the top of the standings Friday, but needed to rally from two sets down to defeat No. 3 Italy in five sets to improve to 8-1 with 24 points. In addition to the world's No. 1 Brazil on Saturday, Poland have No. 2 Russia to conclude the World Cup on Sunday. Poland's lone loss in the tournament was a setback to Iran.
Entering the fourth round with a less-than-stellar 5-3 record, top-ranked Brazil stayed in the World Cup podium chase for an Olympic Games berth by out-scoring Iran 75-54 in a three-set win to open the fourth round. The South Americans, which started the tournament with a 4-1 record through the first two rounds, rebound from third-round losses to Cuba (3-2) and Serbia (3-1) to improve to 6-3 with 19 points. Earlier in the tournament Brazil have defeated Egypt (3-0), USA (3-1), Russia (3-0), China (3-2) and Argentina (3-0), but also took a first-round loss to Italy in a five-set marathon (22-20 in the fifth set).
"Brazil (next opponent) is the best team in the world," Poland coach Andrea Anastasi said. "They have been the best in the past year."
"These three matches here (in Tokyo) are very important for the London Olympics," Brazil captain Gilberto Godoy Filho (Giba) said. "We have to treat them like the quarterfinal, semifinals and final of an event."
Poland's Zbigniew Bartman leads his team offensively with 115 points, while Bartosz Kurek has added 106 points. Poland's Marcin Mozdzonek leads Best Blocker with 0.89 blocks per set, while teammate Piotr Nowakowski ranks third with 0.77 blocks per set. Murillo Endres paces Brazil with 110 points, while Giba adds 103 points and Leandro Vissotto Neves 100 points. Sergio Dutra Santos leads the Best Receiver category with a 58.12 efficiency leading to a 5.11 excellent pass and dig average per set to pace the Best Libero category.
Brazil have won 29 of 38 meetings with Poland, the last meeting being a straight set with at the 2011 FIVB World League Final Round. Since the 2004 Olympic Games, Brazil have won 14 straight matches, including the title match at the 2006 FIVB World Championship. Poland's last victory was during a 2002 FIVB World League preliminary match.
Italy versus Japan
Italy won the first two sets over tournament-leader Poland on Friday, put suffered a letdown in a five-set loss that puts their qualification to the 2012 Olympic Games through the World Cup in jeopardy. Italy are now 6-3 in the tournament with 18 points, one spot out of qualifying for the Olympic Games. Italy, with victories over Brazil (3-2) and USA (3-1) during the World Cup, closes with Iran on Sunday after the match with Japan.
Japan dropped to 2-7 in the tournament with eight points after losing to Russia on Friday to start the fourth round. Japan hold victories over Egypt (3-1) and China (3-0) during the third round.
"Our goal is always to win matches," Italy coach Mauro Berruto said. "We don't worry about what we can't control."
Italy's Michal Lasko leads all scorers in the tournament with 184 points, while producing a 52.38 attack percent for third best among all players. Italy team's captain Cristian Savani has reached 128 points for sixth place through nine matches. Japan's Kunihiro Shimizu ranks eighth overall in scoring with 127 points, while teammate Yusuke Ishijima has compiled 73 points.
Italy lead the all-time series with Japan 22-7, which includes a 2010 FIVB World Championship three-set victory in Milano, Italy. Overall, Italy has won the last three meetings. Japan won consecutive five set matches during the 2007 FIVB World League, as well as the first three matches in the series (1976 Olympic Games, 1981 FIVB World Cup and the 1984 Olympic Games).
Fourth Round Pool B at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium
Serbia versus China
Serbia maintained momentum from their third-round victory over Brazil by defeating Egypt to open the fourth round and improve to 3-6 overall with nine points. Serbia also hold a five-set win over Japan during the current World Cup. China nearly pulled out their second win the 2011 FIVB World Cup, but lost to Cuba after pushing the higher-ranked team to a fifth set. China are now 1-8 in the tournament with five points, which includes a victory over Iran and five-set losses to Brazil and Cuba.
Serbia captain Ivan Miljkovic has charted 126 points through nine World Cup matches, while Milos Nikic has collected 79 points. Nikola Rosic has averaged a tournament-best 2.11 digs per set. Weijun Zhong leads China in scoring with 107 points. His teammate Chen Zhang has charted 84 points.
Serbia have controlled the all-time series with China, winning 16 of the 18 previous meetings and the last seven contests. Serbia edged China in five sets during the most recent meeting during the 2010 FIVB World League. China's last victory was a 2004 FIVB World League preliminary round five-set victory. The only team the two teams have met in FIVB World Cup action was in 2003, a 3-0 Serbia victory.
Argentina versus Egypt
Argentina and Egypt will be looking toward stopping losing streaks at the FIVB World Cup. Argentina have dropped five straight matches to Iran, Brazil, Russia, Italy and USA after a four-set win over Cuba. Argentina are now 3-6 with 10 points in the World Cup with other wins over Serbia (3-0) and Japan (3-2). Egypt dropped to 1-8 in the FIVB World Cup following a four-set loss to Serbia to open the fourth round. The Egyptians' only points of the tournament came in a victory over China to end the first round.
Egypt's Ahmed Abdelhay has produced 146 points during the first nine matches of the World Cup to go with his second-best 52.40 attack percent, while Mohamed Badawy has chipped in 80 points. Facundo Conte has provided Argentina 128 points for sixth-best in the tournament, while teammate Federico Pereyra has chalked up 108 points. Argentina's Luciano De Cecco leads the tournament in Best Setter with 9.31 running sets average.
"Today we'll watch some video and hope to play better in the next match," Egypt captain Ashraf Abouelhassan said.
Argentina have won all five meetings with Egypt, but four of the five matches have been extended to four sets. Argentina's most recent victory in the series was a 2007 FIVB World Cup four-set win. The first meeting in the series took place during the 1978 FIVB World Championship in Venice.
Cuba versus USA
Cuba improved to 6-3 in the FIVB World Cup with a victory over China Friday, but only gained two points with a five-set match. Cuba, which had a slim chance to gain an 2012 Olympic Games berth through the World Cup entering the fourth round, now have victories over Iran (3-0), Japan (3-0), Serbia (3-1), Italy (3-1) and Brazil (3-2) to go along with the fourth-round opener against China. The Cubans have dropped matches to Poland (3-0), Argentina (3-1) and Russia (3-1).
USA improved to 5-4 on the tournament with 14 points to move up to sixth place after edging Argentina to start the fourth round. The North Americans have also beat Egypt (3-0), China (3-0), Iran (3-0) and Japan (3-0) in the World Cup, but have fallen to Poland (3-0), Russia (3-0), Italy (3-1) and Brazil (3-1).
"I do feel we have to play better than (Friday), especially in terms of defense and blocking," Cuba coach Orlando Samuells Blackwood said. "We have to be stronger. In order to do that we'd like to analyze today's match as best we can and try to be ready for tomorrow."
"We expect it to be a tough match with Cuba for sure, as they had some wins against very good teams so far," USA coach Alan Knipe said.
Cuban Fernando Hernandez Ramos ranks second in Best Scorer with 179 points, while Cuba captain Wilfredo Leon Venero has chipped in 139 points for fifth place. Cuba is the only team to have two scorers rank among the top five in the tournament. Hernandez and Leon also rank four and five, respectively, in Best Spiker. Matthew Anderson leads the USA with 127 points for 10th place in Best Scorer. USA captain Clayton Stanley has scored 126 points in the tournament for 10th place and is the top server with 0.55 aces per set, despite not playing in the last match against Argentina. USA's Richard Lambourne ranks second in Best Digger with 2.03 digs per set.
Cuba won the last meeting with USA, a five-set thriller in the 2011 NORCECA Championship gold-medal match to qualify for the FIVB World Cup. The victory avenged a USA four-set victory during the 2011 NORCECA Championship preliminary round. In FIVB and Olympic Games competition only, the USA hold an 11-6 advantage over Cuba, including a thrilling five-set victory in the 2011 FIVB World League seventh-place match. Counting NORCECA, Pan American Games, Pan American Cup and other zonal matches, the USA hold a slim 73-69 lead over Cuba since 1983. However, the USA have won 11 of the last 13 overall matches.

Agency proposes protecting 3 Colo. wildflowers By The Associated Press GRAND JUNCTION, COLO. — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is recommending federal protection for three western Colorado wildflowers, two of which it says are threatened by energy development. The agency is proposing adding the flowers to the endangered species list. The Parachute penstemon and Pagosa skyrocket have been candidates for the list at least 1990. The De Beque phacelia has been a candidate since 1980. The agency will take public comments. Josh Pollock of the Denver-based Center for Native Ecosystems says the flowers are a vital part of Colorado's natural heritage. The Parachute penstemon, with lavender and white flowers, and the DeBeque phacelia, with yellow flowers, are found only around the Roan Plateau in western Colorado. The Pagosa skyrocket, with pinkish-white flowers, is found only near Pagosa Springs. |

Outreach Services - Did You Know?
Outreach delivers
Bookmobiles come in all shapes & sizes -- and species. Libraries deliver books by truck, boat, airplane...camel, donkey, elephant, horse...whatever it takes. So far, SCPL has confined itself to motorized vehicles (including a decommissioned police car). But who knows what the future may bring? (Delivery by book robot, perhaps?)

Come see our new featured artists! 1 comment(s) 3D CG Artist Scott Patton - Avatar and film artist Fine Arts Artist Marilyn Hansen - sculptor and painter www.eroc3d.com
Creating Textures 1 comment(s) I wrote this article and posted it on the photography page of my site, but though that it may be of use to you here. It is fairly entry level, but my hope is to encourage and inspire. Enjoy! Photography and High Quality Graphical Texture
Shooting Textures for Graphic Artists
(For use in print design, website graphics, advertising graphics and 3d texture)
You will need a five plus megapixel camera with manual adjustment capabilities and a macro mode or lens (for close ups). An external or bounce flash is optional but nice, especially in low light environments.
Other Equipment
A tripod and an external flash may come in handy for many situations.
Good image editing programs like Photoshop, Gimp and Paintshop are necessary in order to prepare quality textures. These can be acquired here at www.eroc3d.com found in the blue sidebar under photo software and graphic software.
Plan in advance
Plan to shoot 'packages' or 'series' in advance. You may have to wait for ideal situations to begin your photo shoot. It is good to have a plan for when the 'time is right'. Make a list of what you want to accomplish during the shoot.
For some textures, diffused light is good, like on an overcast day. Avoid strong lighting. For instance, while shade and light bring out some intense texture, the future 3d artist will want to create their own shade and lighting for their scene. They will do this with 3d program lighting, displacement and/or bump maps. For instance, bricks and stone cast shadows if shot in direct sunlight, and the shadows may not align with the same direction as the light source the artist will want to use in a 3d or graphical application.
If you use light, use side light rather than direct light to bring out the surface texture, but not too much. Try to avoid obvious directional shadowing.
To shoot brick, siding and stone facades, think about what the artist will use for maps as well as for the main texture. Bump and displacement maps use variations of grey, black and white to create depth. Dark lowers the surface while light raises the surface.
Your texture does not necessarily have to be the main event. Keep in mind that you want to focus on capturing the essence of the texture rather than a prize photo. It could look rather dull or boring, but that is ok, because the future 3d or graphic artist may use it for a repeating pattern, or a tiled image, and if it has too much variation and detail it will not repeat well.
Not all textures need to be repeatable though, they can be the main focus, but you want to keep in mind what it will be used for in the future.
Shoot your subject from several different angles. This will help you to improve your technique.
For repeating patterns, like brick, tile and wood, you want shoot straight on.
Sharp is good
Shoot at the highest resolution possible. (You can always decrease size). Sharpness is a key to good texture.
Experimentation is paramount.
Popular Types of Textures
Wood, metal, rust, plaster, roofing, siding, glass, painted surfaces, dirt, plastic, stone, bark, grass, crumpled paper, grunge, burn the edges, tile, rock, gravel, leaves, plants , skies (HDRI), buildings, are just a few examples.
Above all, have fun!

15 Years of the Russell 2000 Buy-WriteNikunj KapadiaUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst - Department of Finance & Operations Management Edward SzadoUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst - Isenberg School of Management September 15, 2011 Abstract: Using data from January 18, 1996 to March 31, 2011, we construct and evaluate returns on a buy-write strategy on the Russell 2000 index. The results demonstrate that the strategy has consistently outperformed the Russell 2000 index on a risk adjusted basis, when implemented with one month to expiration calls and when performance is evaluated using standard performance measures. Over the 182 month period of analysis, the RUT buy-write strategy using 2% out-of-the-money, one-month calls generated higher returns than the underlying index (8.87% versus 8.11%) at about three-quarters of the standard deviation (16.57% versus 21.06%). The outperformance is robust to measures which specifically consider the non-normal distribution of the strategy's returns. However, the consistent performance advantage does not remain if we utilize two month to expiration calls. To evaluate the performance in varying market conditions, we break our sample into sub-periods. Specifically, one of the worst market conditions for the buy-write strategy is March 2003 to October 2007, when the Russell 2000 experiences a high sustained growth at a relatively low volatility. Even in this market environment, we find that the 2% out-of-the-money one-month buy-write strategy outperforms the Russell 2000 on a risk adjusted basis, returning almost the same returns as the index return at three-quarters its volatility. We provide insight into the sources of the performance. On average, the expiration value of written calls exceeds the premium collected and the transaction costs of writing the call at the bid further increases the losses. However, the buy-write strategy benefits by writing calls at an implied volatility that is generally higher than the realized volatility. In fact, we find that the contribution of the volatility risk premium - the difference between implied and realized volatility – is typically larger than the net losses incurred by the call position or the transaction costs. It appears that the existence of the risk premium is critical to the performance of the strategy. In fact, the (Leland's) alpha of the strategy is typically significantly smaller than the risk premium implying that the buy-write strategy would not provide excess returns in the absence of the risk premium.

Me with my personal Mercedes Benz car at Somerset House on Day 1
Outside the Zoë Jordan venue
For Day 1 of London Fashion week I'm wearing shades of electric midnight and deep cobalt. These are my favourite colours in the world.
If I could wear no other colours for the rest of my life I'd be happy. The Corbo Boutique top and leggings I'm wearing are comfortable and chic and this Mother of Pearl jacket may be 2 years old, but it's still one of my favourites.
Nestled at my hip is the cutest bag EVER; the Mulberry Mini Lily in black leather. Just big enough for the essentials (lipstick, phone and credit card), Mulberry's mini Lily is keeping my back pain free this Fashion Week!
