BlackRock (BLK) said in a position paper last week that bond exchange-traded funds helped "defuse uncertainty and facilitate orderly and stable markets" while billions of dollars poured out of Pacific Investment Management Co. in recent weeks.
BlackRock's paper, which isn't attributed to any specific authors, examined heavy trading in two broad-market bond ETFs, the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG) and the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND), since Bill Gross' departure from Pimco on Sept. 26.
Barron's noted last week that passive bond ETFs were major recipients of cash that moved from Pimco funds after Mr. Gross left the firm he founded.
The crux of BlackRock's argument was this:
Rather than amplify market volatility as some have speculated, ETFs continued to demonstrate their ability to add liquidity to the fixed income markets and act as shock absorbers to high volume activity.
Some background: Banks are keeping fewer bonds on hand than they used to, a trend some worry will make it more costly and difficult for investors to sell bonds when they need to most. A multitude of news outlets have written about how tighter post-financial-crisis regulations have diminished the appeal for dealers' to keep large bond inventories and act as speed bumps in times of market stress.
Early last month, the International Monetary Fund issued a report that warned of "the illusion of liquidity" in the bond market spurred on by strong flows into mutual funds and ETFs in recent years.
BlackRock's own Chief Executive, Larry Fink, was quoted last month in a New York Times article on the matter as it pertains to Pimco and bond-market liquidity:
"We are worried about liquidity," said Laurence D. Fink, the chief executive of Pimco's archrival BlackRock, in a conference call with investors this week. "And the question is, do we have enough time before a true liquidity event destabilizes the market?"
It isn't surprising, then, that BlackRock, whose iShares unit is the largest sponsor of ETFs in the world, again advanced the notion that ETFs are part of the solution when it comes to enhancing bond market liquidity.
But their data is compelling, and the juiciest bits of this latest analysis outline how heavy trading in AGG and BND served as a buffer between portfolio managers and the underlying bond market, where many transactions are still made over the phone.
Some more background: Most investors don't directly interact with individual stocks or bonds when they trade ETFs; more commonly, a buyer of 100 ETF shares is matched with a seller of 100 shares in the open, "secondary" market.
An Investment Company Institute report from September found that, on average, only about one-tenth of stock ETF trading delves into the so-called primary market, where specialized dealers create or redeem ETF shares based on supply and demand. For bond ETFs, that number is about one-fifth of trading, on average, ICI found.
As bond ETF trading ramped up in recent weeks, BlackRock said that every $2.50 in AGG or BND on-exchange trading resulted in just $1 of bonds changing hands in the "primary" market through ETF creations or redemptions.
The recent spike in bond ETF trading did seem to exert greater influence on the underlying bond market than normal (secondary-to-primary ratio is usually about $4 for every $1), but BlackRock insisted that ETF trading was additive to overall liquidity.
The buffer remained effective and the drop is actually to be expected given the one-directional sentiment over a short time frame.
BlackRock has pointed to the supplemental liquidity ETFs provide in the past. In June 2013, Mark Wiedman, iShares' global head, published an open letter to investors seeking to assure clients that the ETF ecosystem was functioning properly during that month's bond-market rout.
He went so far as to say:
"More and more ETFs are becoming the true market, particularly when market sentiment shifts fast."
This proclamation raised eyebrows, but until the evidence suggests otherwise, markets should welcome the broader adoption of bond ETFs as traditional dealers play a reduced role in the market.
What's the Portuguese word for "ouch"?
The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) is on course for its biggest one-day price decline in over three years and record trading volume.
Traders are dumping shares on Monday after Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff won re-election, dashing hopes that the country might elect pro-business challenger Aécio Neves.
ETF shares are down 6.6% in recent trading, on pace for the biggest daily slide since September 2011.
Nearly 37 million shares have already traded in the $5.3 billion Brazil ETF, which is in a neck-and-neck volume race with the $178 billion SPDR S&P 500ETF (SPY) .
Investors had pumped $637 million into the Brazil ETF over the past week, no doubt hoping for a rally akin to that of the iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA), which surged earlier this year following the election of market-friendly Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"A Modi moment in Brazil unfortunately did not come to pass," says Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at The Lindsey Group LLC.
Barron's Shuli Ren earlier this year noted that Sunday's presidential vote will likely mark a pivot for the ETF's prospects. Bulls seemed to be packing up and heading home on Monday.
In the options market, traders were quick to close out money-losing upside call options on the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF.
"Former bulls are wasting no time in throwing in the towel and getting back pennies on the dollar of outstanding premium," said Andrew Wilkinson, Interactive Brokers' chief market analyst.
Fantastic earnings from Gilead Sciences (GILD) weren't enough to keep a closely watched biotech ETF out of the red.
The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) fell almost 1.9% to $230.30 during morning market action, giving up gains from Tuesday's after-hours trading.
Two of the fund's biggest holdings, Amgen (AMGN) and Biogen-Idec (BIIB) reported per share earnings late Tuesday that missed expectations, and both stocks were losing ground today, falling 4.9% and 1.4% respectively. The two stocks account for almost 14.9% of the fund's portfolio.
Gilead, meanwhile, rose 2.8% to $74.92 after reporting that its new hepatitis C drug Sovaldi blew past expectations with sales of $2.3 billion during the first quarter.
Biotech stocks have been hammered since late February as investors have fled high-risk sectors in favor of safety. The Nasdaq Biotech Index has dropped 14% since hitting a record high on Feb. 25.
At Amgen, higher costs masked the drug maker's revenue growth. Also, sales declined for several key products. Per share profit of 1.87 missed analysts' average expectations by 7 cents as revenue rose almost 7% to $4.52 billion. The Street expected $4.76 billion.
Biogen didn't miss every mark. Revenue rose 51% to $2.1 billion as the MS drug Tecfidera racked up sales of $506 million for the quarter, easily topping analysts' expectations. But at $2.47, per share profit missed forecast by eight cents.
Amgen and Biotech aren't suffering alone. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) fell 2.3% to $304.84 and Celgene (CELG) declined 0.18% to $146.38. Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN) fell 2.09% to $152.89.
Are emerging markets set to get even uglier?
Analysts at Societe Generale call emerging markets as a falling knife, and caution against using last week's horrific selloffs as a buying opportunity. In a note published today, Ahmed Behdenna and Alain Bokobza warn that despite already significant outflows from emerging markets across asset classes, there is potential for further exiting as investors reverse the massive inflows of the last few years. They write:
We see no signs of a bottom….EM equities are getting cheaper but we do not yet see an entry point. EM bonds are under threat from rising US yields and tighter liquidity conditions. EM FX remains at risk of a stronger US dollar as US Fed forward guidance is tested through the year. Our strategy is to wait and hunt for EM value later in the year.
Emerging market weakness hit fevered pitch on Friday, ending a brutal selloff across the globe caused by a mix of local strains, patches of weak economic data from China and renewed concerns about the U.S. Federal Reserve's plans to continue tapering monetary stimulus.
Last week, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) lost 3.9%, the biggest weekly fall since last June. My colleague Ben Levisohn wrote in the Emerging Markets column over the weekend, "this is a domestically created problem," but "the fear is that the problems of a few emerging markets will tar the entire asset class, despite differences in their economies and financial situations."
The declines continued today, with the iShares emerging markets ETF inching lower and the rival Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) falling 0.26% to $37.86.
There were some bright spots. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR), which declined more than 6% last week, rose 3% $42.24 amid unexpected news early Monday that Turkey's central bank will hold a monetary policy meeting. The lira shot sharply higher after another record breaking slide and selloffs were halted in other struggling markets.
Still, the iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (EZA) fell 1.3% and the iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA) fell more than 1%.
Fidelity Investments isn't the only asset management firm making waves with new exchange-traded funds.
iShares, the world's largest ETF company, filed regulatory paperwork this week putting 14 actively-traded currency ETFs into registration that will reflect the value of a number of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Currency ETFs make up less than 1% of ETF assets, with $3.3 billion across 18 funds, according to S&P Capital IQ. The area is dominated by Guggenheim's CurrencyShares unit, thoughtthe market hasn't yet attractive dramatic investor interest. In fact, Guggenheim closed three of its ETFs earlier this year.
So, iShares offering is an ambitious move that could draw attention to the investment style, according to S&P Capital IQ analyst Todd Rosenbluth. He writes:
We think the role that currency ETFs can play in a clients' portfolio is multi-fold, offering hedging exposure to equity investments or a tactical trade to where economic policies are seen as favorable. However, to date relatively few investors have made much use of this ETF investment style in comparison to gaining exposure to the S&P 500 Index or the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index through ETFs offered by iShares, State Street and others. That said, with iShares strong product lineup, well-known brand and broad distribution capabilities, we expect the asset base for currency ETFs to increase after investors take a look at iShares' expanded offerings.
The new iShares funds, which already have tickers and proposed annual expense ratios ranging from 0.2% to 0.4%, are:
It's a good day for BlackRock (BLK). Before Thursday's opening bell, the asset management giant's share price rose roughly 4% to $231 after the company reported that fourth-quarter profits rose 24% over the previous year as higher assets under management helped fuel double-digit revenue growth.
Earnings and revenue beat the Street's expectations. Meanwhile, BlackRock also hiked its quarterly dividend payment by 12% to $1.68 a share, and expanded its share repurchase program by 7.5 million shares to 10.2 million shares.
BlackRock is the biggest provider of exchange-traded funds in the U.S., although rival firms have been gaining market share. The firm ended 2012 with overall assets under management totaling $3.792 trillion, up from $3.513 trillion the previous year, and $3.673 trillion in the third quarter.
Long-term investment products, including the iShares ETFs, drew in $47 billion.
[Note: This post has been updated with fresh figures from Vanguard and a spokesman's comment.]
Investor inflows into exchange-traded funds were quite strong in November, registering at about $20 billion in new money, ETFGI data show. The trend appeared to redound nicely to Vanguard Group's benefit. Top-line figures show the firm netting $7.6 billion in new money, better than $5.8 billion for BlackRock's (BLK) iShares.
But hold on a minute: Whose figure is that $7.6 billion? It's not Vanguard's. A spokesman writes in responding to the original version of this post with the firm's own official number — which is much smaller, at $2.1 billion. I didn't have this number in the original post.
Why the difference? Here's what happened. As much as $5 billion of the $7.6 billion number may be temporary adjustments tied to MSCI's (MSCI) rebalancing, according to Stifel Nicolaus & Co. analysts J. Jeffrey Hopson and Marc Torrente:
On the surface, it appears that Vanguard has regained some momentum in the quarter, leading with $7.6 bil. of inflows, but we think that this is misleading. Twice per year (see chart on page #4), MSCI rebalances its indices, and during this process the Vanguard funds create new shares temporarily (with the authorized dealer) and then reverse the trades within days through fund redemption and in kind exchange of stocks. In this case, there is roughly a $5 bil bump to Nov. flows that has been reversed (per flow data) on Dec 3rd. While the data is essentially accurate for Nov. it is misleading in the sense that it shows Vanguard picking up momentum relative to iShares when the December flow numbers will reflect a $5 bil outflow. iShares has to make certain adjustments itself to reflect the MSCI changes, but does so in a manner that limits big swings.
Meanwhile, the trend of investor flows we noted a month ago – in favor of iShares' leading emerging markets fund versus Vanguard's — deepened as the month wore on.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM), which charges 0.67%, registered $2.3 billion in asset inflows while the Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets (VWO), which has clocked EEM for a few years now, lost about $900 million. Read here for our theory a month back on how a set of index changes may be partly responsible.
All the talk of the fiscal cliff doesn't seem to have rattled ETF investors, as they continued to pour money into the investment products last month, especially those centered on U.S. stocks.
Birinyi Associates says today that global ETF assets have risen 2.1% to $1.32 trillion, an all-time high.
And investors were keen on domestic stocks, even as markets have fretted over political negotiations. According to the report, those focused on U.S. equities led the pack, contributing $9.3 billion in inflow, nearly half the $20.7 billion total. Bond funds saw $4.9 billion and those focused on foreign equities saw $3 billion. Year to date, however, fixed income has proven crucial to inflows.
Also out today, a report by ETFGI tells a similarly bullish story, breaking down winners and losers in November:
Vanguard gathered the largest net ETF inflows in November with US$7,738 Mn, followed by BlackRock's (BLK) iShares with US$7,136 Mn and SPDR ETFs with US$4,683 Mn net inflows.
iShares gathered the largest net ETF inflows YTD with US$65,851 Mn, followed by Vanguard with US$54,009 Mn and SPDR ETFs with US$20,570 Mn net inflows.
Harvest FM experienced the largest net ETF outflows in November with US$3,738 Mn, followed by DB/x-trackers with US$521 Mn and Nikko AM with US$319 Mn net outflows.
Commerzbank experienced the largest net ETF outflows YTD with US$1,454 Mn, followed by Direxion with US$887 Mn and EasyETF with US$831 Mn net outflows.
The firm notes that average trading volume for ETFs rose 7.5% month-over-month, from $56 billion in October to $60 billion in November.
Should investors consider South Korea an "emerging market" despite its wealth? Barclays Capital's (BCS) fixed-income indexers just weighed in on the side of "yes."
The status of the country whose GDP per capital is north of $32,000 was one of several items clarified in a release today explaining changes in the bank's fixed-income indexes set to happen as of March 13, 2013.
South Korea, Israel, Taiwan and the Czech Republic are "countries that bond investors generally classify as EM," the bank says in a release explaining the moves. All four countries will be considered "emerging" for the purposes of Barclays' emerging-market bond indices, including those for hard currencies, local currencies and inflation-linked securities, the release said.
It may sound like just another cloistered debate among indexers. But it matters even to ordinary U.S. investors, since so many billions of dollars are now indexed to these benchmarks. Billions in South Korean stock-market exposure will be removed from the Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO) alone at some point over the next several months.
That's because the ETF is switching indexes from an MSCI Inc. (MSCI) benchmark that counts Korea an emerging market, to one built by the U.K.'s FTSE Group, which does not. MSCI has cited currency-convertibility issues for keeping Korea in the "emerging" column.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM), from BlackRock's (BLK) iShares, includes Korean stocks.
The competition in exchange-traded fund land certainly is heating up. Market watchers have been chastised for calling it a price war, which, in truth, I guess it isn't — not if prices are already cut for the big, generic ETFs.
To borrow from Clausewitz, it's war by other means. When expense ratios are close, other qualities become the deciding factor — for instance, bid-ask spreads, trading volume, or index choice.
I spoke with Fran Kinniry, a principal in Vanguard's investment strategy group, by phone this afternoon on the subject. In a not-so-veiled critique of BlackRock's (BLK) new core ETFs, Kinniry said it's tough to convince investors to leave what they're using today over a matter of a few basis points.
"This is for any product — when there's not a significant price difference, the other costs become the primary driver," Kinniry said. "You need to enter with a very, very unique product," Kinniry added. "[Or if] there are well-traded alternatives, the price discount had better be pretty darn severe."
Building big enough trading volume, and the tight bid-ask spreads that accompany it, can be a chicken-and-egg issue unless there's a very clear incentive to switch, Kinniry said. "Advisors and [many] institutions couldn't touch [a fund with] trading volume like this," he said, referring to what's been seen in the first few days of trading in BlackRock's new ETFs. "Forget these new funds. … [A]ll new ETFs that have not had a substantial discount have had a hard time gaining volume," he said.
Volume in the iShares "core" funds has actually been pretty good, given that they're new ETFs. They're still nowhere near what the established products have and may not be for some time. The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG) traded less than 9,800 shares today, according to FactSet Research Systems. On Wednesday, the figure was nearly 150,000. Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO), the biggest EM ETF by assets, had 11.5 million. The figure for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM), often preferred by institutions, was 41 million.
Kinniry said he's seen clients impressed with the big expense-ratio difference between Vanguard Emerging Markets (VWO), at 0.20%, and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM), at 0.67%. That doesn't make as much sense when compared to the reaction to smaller percentage differences that matter more when the portfolio weight is bigger.
Kinniry said some clients are less impressed with the 22-basis point difference between the developed-world Vanguard MSCI EAFE ETF (VEA) and the iShares MSCI EAFE (EFA), at 0.34%.
But measured in raw dollars, it's usually better, Kinniry notes. That's because the typical investor buys more developed-world exposure than emerging markets. Let's say you split a $100,000 portfolio between 75% wealthy-country stock markets and 25% emerging-markets. In dollars, you'd save $220 per year in the 75% of the pie that is the developed world, using VEA versus EFA. Though the percentage difference is bigger in the smaller emerging-markets slice, the savings would amount to a smaller $117.50.
If the difference amounts to two basis points under Vanguard Emerging Markets' (VWO) 0.20% — that's what IEMG charges — then other factors are likely to win out.
But the difference turns out to be more than that. Or, it will be soon. That's throwing in the upcoming Vanguard index changes, in which the company will shift several popular funds to FTSE Group indexes, away from MSCI Inc. (MSCI). Investors will need to weigh index construction, investment mandates and more.
"To be blunt, investors need to make a choice which index vendor and asset manager they're going to go with," Kinniry says.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder.

ATVs and Crossbows The two have more in common than you might think.
By Bob Humphrey
The population of hunters isn't getting any bigger, and the reasons are many and varied. In addition to a general urbanization of our society, we're not recruiting enough young hunters to replace ourselves. Just as important, we're not doing enough to retain older hunters. The crossbow is an excellent tool for both objectives.
Dr. Craig Dougherty, Chairman of the Quality Deer Management Association's Board of Directors and former vice president of the North American Archery Group once told me a story about a Florida hog hunt he hosted several years ago. Among his guests was Ann Hoyt - a five-time National Archery Champion, two-time World Champion and then widow of legendary bowyer Earl Hoyt.
At the time of the hunt, Ann was in her later years and no longer had the strength to pull back a compound or a recurve bow. Knowing how much archery and bowhunting had meant to Hoyt, Dougherty provided her with a crossbow. She practiced enough to become proficient, then the two headed for the woods.
That afternoon the opportunity came, and Ann shot and killed a hog. "She turned to me with tears of joy welled up in her eyes," related Dougherty. All she could say was "Thank you. I thought I'd never be able to bowhunt again."
I've heard numerous similar stories since, mostly from middle-aged hunters whose fathers or uncles had taught them to bowhunt, then had to give up the sport due to physical limitations associated with age. Crossbows got them back into the sport by providing a simple, yet effective solution to their problems.
Very much the same is true of ATVs, particularly UTVs or Side-by-Side (SxS) vehicles. Many hunters who had given up the sport due to physical limitations can now get back (sometimes way back) in the woods with the help of a Yamaha ATV. These implements also counter the concerns of those who are still able to hunt afoot, but would have a great deal of difficulty getting a deer out on their own. Equally important, SxS vehicles provide a means to the woods for physically-impaired hunters of any age.
One of the really big pluses of SxS vehicles is they can carry a driver and passenger. That means one machine for mentor and his ward. But kids can't sit still for long, which means you've got to tote blinds, seats, maybe decoys and who knows what else. Machines like the Rhino have a bed so you can carry all you need in one trip, and still have room to haul your deer out. SxS vehicles can open new roads to all kinds of hunters.

LOS ANGELES Kansas redshirt freshman guard Ben McLemore and senior center Jeff Withey have been named to the Associated Press All-America Team announced Monday. Three teams of five were named plus an honorable mention list by Associated Press (AP). McLemore was named to the AP Second Team, while Withey was a third-team selection by the 65-member media panel which votes on the All-America teams. An All-Big 12 First Team selection, McLemore led Kansas in scoring in 2012-13 at 15.9 points per game, which broke the KU freshman record of 14.6 ppg average by Jayhawk legend Danny Manning in 1985. A 6-foot-5 St. Louis, Mo., native, McLemores 589 points and his 87.0 free throw percentage also broke KU freshman marks. During the 2012-13 season, McLemore was a three-time Big 12 Rookie of the Week and one-time league player of the week this season and had 10 games of 20 points or more, including three 30-point efforts. His 36-point effort against West Virginia (32) broke the KU freshman sin...

Very entertaining action film. Weak storyline that wasn\'t properly fleashed out. Still, very good.

2007 Chrysler 300 Q&A
2007 Chrysler 300 Question: My 2007 chrysler 300 engine and lighting bolt icons are flashing, car wont start
Does this mean the electric throttle control is gone, if so how expensive is it to repair at dealer, and can it be self repaired? Can some one please tell me where this is located on my car. - keelo
Answer 1
I am not familiar with the 300 does your owner's manual tell what the warning lights mean? Check here http://repairpal.com/automobile-owners-manuals-online or try this link you may be able to down load a free copy of the owner's manual for your vehicle http://www.autousermanual.com/ A scan tool is going to be needed to retrieve codes stored in the computer of your car to see if it is a throttle body, engine mechanical, security problem, ignition or fuel related problem. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online - patrick mannion

As well as specialty dog gear for very active dogs, we also offer equipment for more the leisurely hounds, along with food and nutritional supplements, gifts and Iditarod memorabilia.
Dog scooters
If your dog is full of energy or loves to run and pull, dog scootering might be the perfect new sport for you and your pet. You can use a dog scooter with virtually any fit and healthy dog and since the dog is harnessed in and working harder than with just a standard lead, he'll get more satisfaction out of the activity and you won't have to tug on the lead. The sport of dog scootering can also help to increase the bond between yourself and your canine companion. SnowPaw Store is the manufacturer and distributor of Pawtrekker Dog Scooters.
Complete kits are available for single-dog scootering and double-dog scootering
Sled dog equipment
Our range of sled dog equipment includes everything you'll need for racing or recreational mushing, including harnesses, ganglines and tugs. Pre-assembled ganglines are available for one, two, three, four or six dogs and all sections are made from hollow braid polyethylene, which is extremely tough, very flexible and resistant to stretching and abrasions.
Active dog gear
Help protect the active dog in your life with our range of active dog gear. For sea-faring pups, a Float Coat - a life jacket for your pooch - will help to keep your dog afloat if he unexpectedly falls overboard. We also offer dog boots to protect paws from cold or rough terrain and backpacking gear, allowing your canine to carry his own food and water on long treks. For those of you who enjoy cycling with your dog, we offer bikejoring equipment so you can go cycling with your dog.
For those wanting to try CaniCross (cross-country running with your dog), we have a wide range of gear. Items available include kits for single-dog and double-dog teams.
Dog walking
We also offer a wide range of high-quality and fashionable dog walking gear, including collars and leads, walking belts and dog walking harnesses. Available in a wide range of sizes and colours, you can be sure to find whatever your dog needs.
Food and health
It is important that every dog receives a balanced and healthy diet and this is a vital necessity for active dogs. Our range of dog food and nutritional supplements will help to ensure that your canine companion receives not only the best quality food, but also all of the vitamins and minerals needed for top performance.
Iditarod memorabilia, gifts and more
If you're looking for a gift for the dog lover in your life, try our range of gifts, which includes a variety of Iditarod memorabilia. Whether they're dog sledding enthusiasts, Husky fans or simply enjoy the company of their four-legged friends, you're sure to find a gift they'll love!

Brad Pitt turns "groomzilla" as he plans wedding to Angelina
Brad Pitt has no worries about fiancée Angelina Jolie turning into a bridezilla ahead of their marriage - as it's him who's keen to get their big day organised.
Angelina Jolie
Film actress
born 04/06/1975
Hollywood actor Brad, 48, can't wait to exchange vows with Ange and so has been meticulously planning their big day, which he hopes will take place at their French estate, Chateau Miraval.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Angelina isn't so bothered about when they tie the knot - it's Brad who is piling on the pressure."
Brad is keen to marry Ange, 37, in late September in front of an intimate crowd of around 20 people - including their six children Maddox, 10, Pax, nine, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The source continued: "He wants the main house to be finished when the event takes place, even though the close friends and relatives who are invited aren't the types to care.
"He wants everything to be absolutely perfect."
Robert Procop, who designed Ange's engagement ring, isn't surprised the pair are getting wed, saying their love is really strong and has matured over time.
He explained: "The relationship may have been all flying planes and riding motorcycles at the start, but any new relationship is exciting that way.
"Now though, they've settled into this wonderfully strong family unit and it's beautiful how in love they are.
"They're both lovely, very talented people that complement each other...when you're with them, you can see how strongly in love they are."

Buffaloes Drop 8th Straight, End Season Winless In Pac-12
Another narrow loss put a wrap on Colorado's first winless conference season in 99 years.
Buffaloes Will Try To End Seven-Game Slide
The Colorado Buffaloes have lost 31 of 35 Pac-12 games since joining the conference in 2011.
High-Flying Oregon Ducks Soar Past Buffs 44-10
Marcus Mariota got his curtain call at Autzen Stadium. With the 44-10 victory already in hand Saturday against Colorado, No. 3 Oregon sent its Heisman-hopeful quarterback out for the first snap of the fourth quarter.
Buffs Hope To Keep Washington's Slide Alive
Mike MacIntyre is concerned about his team's psyche. The Buffaloes dropped another heartbreaker on Saturday, falling in double overtime to No. 25 UCLA on Brett Hundley's TD keeper. They also lost 59-56 to Cal in two OTs on Sept. 27
Buffs Suffer Another Heartbreaking Pac-12 Loss
Quarterback Brett Hundley had an 8-yard touchdown run in double overtime to give No. 25 UCLA a 40-37 victory over Colorado on Saturday.
Colorado Defenseless In 56-28 Loss To No. 22 USC
Life was anything but good against USC for Colorado (2-5, 0-4), which carried over none of the improvement from one score defeats in its last two Pac-12 games.
Oregon State Holds Off Colorado for 36-31 Win
Terron Ward ran for 102 yards and two touchdowns, including a 10-yard score with 5:09 remaining, and Oregon State's defense turned away Colorado's last-gasp drive as the Beavers hung on to beat the Buffaloes 36-31 on Saturday.
Buffs, Beavers Ready For Another Possible Shootout
Colorado's prolific quarterback and its top receiver are ready to go at it again when the Oregon State Beavers (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) make their first trip to Boulder since 1988.
Buffs Fall To California 59-56 In Wild Double OT Game
Jared Goff threw seven touchdown passes and California used a rare defensive stop and a 34-yard field goal in double overtime from James Langford to snap a 15-game Pac-12 losing streak by beating Colorado 59-56 on Saturday.
Junior Nelson Spruce caught a school record 13 passes for a career-best 172 yards, including a 71-yard touchdown in Colorado's 21-12 win over scrappy Hawaii on Saturday.

What's this? A Chumby on the frontpage of the Sydney Morning Herald
So the Chumby features in the story Tools of the Future, as does MICROBLOGGING, EVERYBLOCK, 23ANDME, PEER-TO-PEER LENDING, MOB RULES, GUERILLA WI-FI, WORLD COMMUNITY GRID, LOOPT and ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD.
Interesting article.
Oh, and my Chumby is doing very well too.
Lots of buzz about PointUI
I installed it earlier this week -- Gotta support my fellow Aussies
Works good on my Treo (screenshot below) and TyTN II
Let's see how I feel about in a week
I am a fan of the rich mobile application, you know the one. You install the software and it can work offline and online as needed.
Well I am running 3 of the more popular ones at the moment
Windows Mobile Live Search
Google Mobile Maps
Yahoo Go!
They all have their good points and bad points.
One thing they all do is provide mapping. They all connect to a GPS
I thought I would see how it mapped where I live.
As it so happens, my street has a dead-end. It is blocked off
Funnily enough only one of the 3 map show that the street is closed. Do'h!
Now, this isn't limited to the mobile maps though, as both VE and Google Maps show the street to NOT be a dead-end.
Good thing *I* know it's a dead end
This morning we woke up to snow falling.
All schools are closed, so the kids are at home for their first snow day
Here's a panorama from my front porch.
The photo is made up from 5 different photos which have been stitched together using Windows Live Photo Gallery
Oh, and I know it's hot back in Sydney - no need to remind me.

I want to let mediatomb has as input rtp stream. Here is my setup:
- I have mediatomb running on ubuntu on a virtual machine,
- I use vlc to stream an .avi or .mp4 video file using rtp to the loopback address (rtp://127.0.0.1:5004).
- the host machine is windows xp with xmbc MediaRenderer
- the network adapter between the host and guest machine is bridging
- I want the mediatomb to take this rtp stream and stream it again (over UPnP) so that i can play it on xbmc
After googling and trying for a couple of weeks I realized that i should use the transcoding feature of the mediatomb. In my configuration file I have changed/added the following:
<transcoding enabled="yes"> ... <transcode mimetype="video/x-avi" using="ffmpeg-sh"/> ... <profile name="ffmpeg-sh" enabled="yes" type="external"> <mimetype>video/mpeg</mimetype> <accept-url>yes</accept-url> <first-resource>yes</first-resource> <agent command="ffmpeg-tr.sh" arguments="%in %out"/> <buffer size="10485760" chunk-size="262144" fill-size="5242880"/> </profile>
I created the /bin/ffmpeg-tr.sh file (and made it executable) and put this in it:
#!/bin/sh exec ffmpeg -i "$1" -b 2000k -me_method zero -f mpeg -ar 48000 -ac 2 - >"$2"
In the web interface I added an item with the following characteristics:
Type: external link title: test URL: rtp://127.0.0.1:5004 Protocol: rtsp-rtp-udp class: object.Item.VideoItem description: Mimetype: video/x-avi
For testing run the vlc for streaming (without transcoding) and to make sure it works i try to open the stream using another instance from vlc and it works :-)
However from the UPnP part (xbmc and mediatomb) it doesn't giving lot of errors.
I have been trying for weeks and it is really annoying me as it is mentioned that mediatomb is able to take input from rtp stream but i am not successful in this. So please if you have any idea or any question for more details that may help me solve this, I will be very thankful.
use http-get in the protocol, with your setup you are not serving the rtp stream directly to the player, instead you are using MediaTomb to transcode and that serves the transcoded stream via http.

Arsenal dropped to 10th place in the Premier League after losing to Swansea 2-0 on Saturday with Michu firing in two late goals at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners had been second best for long spells and, despite an improved performance after the break, Swansea earned reward for its persistence when Spain forward Michu grabbed a late brace in the 88th and first minute of stoppage time. Jeers greeted the final whistle as manager Arsene Wenger's side dropped more points and fell further behind in the battle to break back into the top four. Fans backing the `Black Scarf Movement' had demonstrated around the ground before kickoff, complaining at the perceived commercialisation of the club following the move to the Emirates Stadium.

According to a new study from the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Life, nearly a third of the world's population live in countries where practicing their religion freely is difficult or impossible. The background research for the report was conducted between 2006 and 2009, when Pew says a significant number of restrictions were imposed on religious freedom in a number of different countries. Disturbingly, only 1% of the world lived in places where the opposite was true.
Most of the countries where the trend was occurring were in the Middle East and North Africa, although Egypt, for example, might get a very different rating now that Hosni Mubarak, who was hostile toward Egypt's Christian minority as well as the Muslim Brotherhood, has been ousted. The Arab Spring as a whole may have rendered some of the report's data inaccurate. But countries like France have actually gotten more restrictive since 2009.
However, there were also factors that were independent of government restrictions. Social hostilities in countries like Vietnam, China, Nigeria, Russia, Thailand, and Great Britain made it difficult for people to practice and express their religion openly. India was near the top of the list, along with Afghanistan, Israel and Indonesia.
The United States was not immune to scrutiny. Although overall Americans enjoy high levels of religious freedom, 1,300 religiously-motivated hate crimes were reported while the data was being gathered. Muslims and Christians were the most likely to report harassment based on their religion, but as Pew pointed out, that may simply because they comprise more than half the world's population.
Other smaller religious groups, like Jews, were disproportionately likely to say that they had suffered some form of religious persecution. Jews, who represent less than 1% of the world's population, were harassed in a shocking 75 countries.
Overall, these findings show that although religious freedom is still limited in the Middle East, that Europe, the United States and other countries need to do more work to improve tensions, especially in places where there are significant social hostilities between different religious groups. Even Australia, which appears nowhere in news coverage of the report, may issue legislation to force women to remove their face veils for police.
And, of course, European countries should be careful to make sure that they are not isolating their Muslim populations with restrictive legislation (Belgium, France, and now Italy – take notice!). The recent violence in Norway is even more of a wake-up call to prevent more religiously based attacks.

I don't know if religious freedom is declining but, tolerance between religions certainly is.
good. religion = ignorance + child abuse
what you all said is what i'm talking about.
What the hell are you talking about?
that's not religion. that's politics. *insert DUH here* is it that hard to figure out for someone who cries out "separation of church and state" every chance he gets?
Jane B, it was the National Secular Society's protests against the taxpayer bearing the cost of the Unholy Father's visit to Britain last year that caused me to join them.
Outrageous that someone who declares himself to be infallible, and 'god's' representative on earth should be responsible for covering up one of the grossest crimes imaginable, and on such a scale, And, who knows, that may just be the tip of the iceberg. How anybody can still put their faith in this creepy institution is beyond me.
And I had it forced upon me from birth. One of the sickest things I remember is our primary school class being told by our teacher (we must have been being prepared to make our 'first communion') about a girl who had taken 'holy communion' without first going to confession, and 'little black devils' were seen crawling all over her body.
I remember this frightening and disturbing me, as a sensitive 7-year-old. Most 7 y.o.s would probably laugh at the teacher nowadays, but this was 50 years ago.
Then we have the likes of Bush and Blair with their fake god-fearing sanctimoniousness, as they burn Iraqi and Afghan children. What god do they really believe in? Seems to me more like their Satan.
PJM, indeed that's what I was saying. All religions are about power, control, big bucks
and stealing other peoples' land. You just gave some great examples. Super-religions
are responsible for the destruction of the world.
In the United Kingdom, we have the National Secular Society, which fights religious privilege, such as local councils (local government) holding prayers before their meetings; and Cherie Booth (Tony Bliar's wife), when sitting as a judge, sparing from prison a muslim man who had committed a vicious assault, because he was 'a religious man'.
It seems to me that most of the 'religion' in the US is fake, anyway, and a big moneymaker for eg, 'Superchurches', who exploit vulnerable people.
This unthinking acceptance of 'religion' is also exploited by politicians such as Bush and Bliar, who pretend to embrace it for popular support, whilst committing their war crimes.
Barbara, you called me incendiary. I stand by my opinion, I think all religions should be
banned. They have done more harm than good. I am sick of religious people presenting
their opinions as FACT. If you want to believe there is a god that's fine with me but quit
trying to shove fairy tales down my throat. I don't believe your opinions, I don't have to
believe your opinions and I have a right to believe that NOBODY ON EARTH KNOWS
WHY WE ARE HERE. Nobody has any proof of anything, just fairy tales. And just because
I think all religions should be banned doesn't mean they ever will be. I have a right to
my opinion so get over it. I am not insulting you whatsoever, I just don't believe in your
religion in any way. I call it fairy tales because that's what it is. ;)
Jane, you say you have no problem with the constitution, as long as you can choose the parts of it you want to follow. ("All religions should be banned.") Jane, I am a Christian, and I neither shoved nor called you a name nor insulted your intelligence. You believe others are as careless with accusations in posting as you are.
You came to this forum to post your theories about Religious Freedom. Yet no one called you names or tried to shove a single thing about their personal faith down your throat, though clearly you must have expected that! In fact you try to provoke that, or at least an argument, with your insults and then say you "donj't care what anybody believes." Not one of us who has yet to post in this forum has argued with: "The separation of Church and State should be vigorously enforced." We'd all like nothing more than that. Please use your freedom and leave alone Christians and all religious people who definitely would prefer to leave you alone too.
Jane B., Aug 12, 2011, 9:30 AM: "All religions should be banned. All religions were created BY men FOR men..... People who claim to be intelligent should be embarrassed to admit they believe in fairy tales and talking snakes."
Jane B., Aug 13, 2011, 10:57 AM: "Elaine, I invoke my freedom to be safe from you religious hypocrites who continually try to shove your fairy tales and stupid theories down our throats. We don't think you religious people are superstitious, we know it. You are the ones who spo

This is what the bike looked like for the 25 years I owned it......and it sat quietly in the corner of my shop....it did a year's stint at the AMA Museum and was the subject of several magazine stories. As the AMA & World Superbike series prospered, so I knew the value and interest in the old queen would grow. Collectors sniffed about but there was only one home that interested me for the bike: BMW. Selling an old bike is fraught with problems, not the least of which is price and future value. After two decades of being told I was a sissy for not racing the bike, I wasn't keen to also be told I'd sold the bike too cheap....the problem of seeing your bike double in value when re-sold a couple years after you sell it.....also, I didn't want this bike to follow it's two sister-team bikes into the dumpster at the hands of some twat who thinks a vintage bike win is important......it's not! Racing bikes have a short shelf life and are near-worthless after their time on stage ends....if you own a truly historic machine, adding your name to it's 'winning-rider' rooster twenty years after the fact is self flagellation....get over yourself. By seeing that the bike went back to BMW, I never have to worry about it's re-sale or seeing it crashed at Willow Springs or some other dump....

Tea party losses don't stop cash or curb influence
WASHINGTON (AP) — Desperate to knock off GOP incumbents in this year's Republican primaries, the nation's tea party groups have spent millions only to fall short in election after election.
Yet for all the losses, from Matt Bevin in Kentucky to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi, business for the tea party has never been better.
The lack of success at the ballot hasn't kept the groups from raising huge sums of money, adding names to their mailing lists and recruiting new volunteers. At the same time, they continue to pull the Republican Party to the right. GOP lawmakers who previously compromised with Democrats on spending, among other issues, now refuse to budge — even if it means shutting down the government and risking a default on the nation's debt.
Those facts are frustrating mainstream Republicans, who on Wednesday implored tea party activists to rethink the money they are giving to anti-establishment groups such as Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the Senate Conservatives Fund. All three backed the failed bid of McDaniel, a Mississippi state senator, to oust U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran after six terms in office.
"How much money did we spend in Mississippi that could have been spent picking up the majority?" asked South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who had to beat back six challengers in his own primary earlier this month.
Republicans need to gain six seats in the midterm elections to take control of the Senate for the final two years of President Barack Obama's second term, a feat that's within reach in a year when many Democratic incumbents face dire poll numbers and are being vastly outspent by outside conservative groups.
"I hope people will think about that," Graham told reporters in Washington.
But before the tea party groups turn their full attention to Democrats and the general election in November, they are in the midst of spending a staggering amount of money in the GOP primaries to benefit insurgent conservatives against GOP incumbents.
Tea party-aligned groups spent almost $7.2 million on McDaniel's failed bid to deny Cochran a seventh term in the Senate. The anti-tax Club for Growth and its affiliated PAC were the largest outside spenders in Mississippi, spending more than $3.1 million to help McDaniel. Of that, $2.4 million went to messages attacking Cochran.
The same night that McDaniel came up short, they saw their $1.8 million effort to help former state House Speaker T.W. Shannon's Senate primary campaign against Rep. James Lankford fall apart in Oklahoma. Last month, tea partyers and their allies spent roughly $1 million to support Bevin's uphill effort against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky.
In all, national tea party-aligned groups that must disclose their finances have raised almost $42 million since January 2013. They have spent more than $40 million but have no real wins. Mainstream Republican Senate candidates brushed aside tea party-backed candidates in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Colorado and other states.
The eye-popping win for college professor David Brat over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia's GOP primary doesn't count. That took nearly everyone by surprise, including the national tea party groups that gave Brat help measured by the hundreds, not the millions, of dollars.

Listen to advance stream of new Kenny Chesney album
Kenny Chesney's new album, "Life on a Rock," will be released Tuesday, but fans can spend the weekend listening to a free advance stream at this link from iTunes. We'll have our full review of the album Wednesday in the Tap Milwaukee CD roundup.
The new disc comes less than a year after the release of Chesney's "Welcome to the Fishbowl," an album that found the country megastar exploring more introspective themes. (I placed "Fishbowl" on my list of Top 10 Country Albums of 2012.) On "Life on a Rock," Chesney penned eight of the 10 tracks, diving even deeper into the personal moments of his life. Along the way, he taps Willie Nelson for a playful beach duet and joins The Wailers for a full-on reggae jaunt. »Read Full Blog Post

New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months.

Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

Around 700 people signed an online petition asking for action to be taken, after living with the sickly smells coming from the Drytec factory in Morley Road for 20 years.
But the plant owners have announced that specialist equipment, called a Regenerative Thermal Oxidiser, which removes smells by exposing them to up to 1,200 degree heat, will be up and running by May in a bid to solve the problem.
It is thought to have cost the factory more than £175,000 to install.
In the meantime, Drytec will be looking at production methods to try and reduce odour impact and also attending to some housekeeping matters on their site.
The major investments were announced at the first meeting of a council liaison group this month .
Chairman of the liaison group, cllr Mark Davis said: "We are very pleased to have drawn the various agencies and interests together in a real effort to address this odour problem in the town.
"At the first meeting, I was particularly grateful for the constructive approach adopted by everyone. Drytec has outlined a credible plan to move us forward and we are most optimistic about that. The council will continue to monitor the situation in close partnership with the local residents, also working with the Environment Agency and Public Health England."
Over the 20 years of manufacturing, the smell has said to have changed from being detergent-like to something similar to strawberries or candy floss.
No one from Drytec was available for comment.
