NY Issues Banned Word List
Does everyone remember that NY has mandatory sex education for children that includes field trips to the drug stores to teach our youth to shop for condoms and find the nearest clinic for STD's?
The "open" forum for the sex ed program makes their latest mandate a little surprising. I mean, come on, you are going to allow your kids to learn about the varied methods of sex, up to and including bestiality, but you can't talk about animal shelters?
I have always thought California would be the first to fall into the abyss, but New York, it may be time to bid you adieu.

- Sheffield Ski Village changed my life when I was at a very low point. I learnt to snowboard there, developed my love of the sport, met so many fantastic people, some of who are lifelong friends and one who is now my husband, and had so many great times. I watched and aspired to those Olympic snowboarders and skiers who have just done us proud in Sochi. It wasn't just a sports centre, it was a way of life for many including myself. And I hoped that one day I would take my kids there too. Well fingers crossed by the time our baby's due the Snowsport Centre will be up and running, or at lesat in the process of being developed. Us and generations to come need facilities like this!!! show more

United States Patent PORTABLE WORK LIGHT Harry E. Douglass, Glendale, and Rodney B. Hecox,
Bakersfield, Calif.
This invention has to do with a portable work light, it being a general object'of the invention to provide a simple and practical explosion-proof light that is safe to use and that is economical-to maintain. This invention is particularly concerned with a fluorescent work light of the elongate tubular type, and provides .for the protection of the tubular lamp that is employed.
In various industries it is necessary to provide portable lighting to be used by the workmen in carrying out their duties. For example, in the construction of aircraft, or in any other construction work, theavailable ambient lighting is inadequate, thus requiring additional lighting in order to see in inclosed places, or in recesses andcompartments, and the like. -In manyinstances the nature of the constructionand the work involved requires an explosion-proof lighting device thatflis of substantial construction so'that the danger of igniting the surrounding and possibly explosive atmosphere isreduced to a minimum. Heretofore, lighting devices ,of the type underconsideration have not been altogether satisfactory since they are generally. vulnerable to breakage, in which event there is likely to be ignition of the surrounding atmosphere. That is, breakage of lightingdevicesof the type under consideration, exposes 'the electrical elements thereof, rendering the devices extremelyfdangerous.
An object of this invention is to provide ap orta ble he 2,874,270 Patented Feb. 17, .1959
e we
fit together on assembly, in order to establish the desired electrical connections and circuitry.
The various objects and featuresof our. invention will be fully understood from the following detailed description of. the typical preferred forms and applications of the invention, throughout which description reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side view of the portable work light embodying the features of the present invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are enlarged longitudinal section views taken as indicated by lines 2-2.and 3-3 in Figs. 1, respectively. Figs. 4 and 5 are views of parts shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings and showing theparts separate from the inclosing structure. Fig. 6 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken as indicated by line 6-6 in Fig. 1. Fig. 7-is a transverse sectional view similar to Fig. 6 and showing a modified construction. Fig. 8 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken as indicated by line 8-8 in Fig. 2. Fig. 9 is a transverse sectional view taken as indicated by line 99 in Fig. 3. Fig. 10 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken as indicated by line 1010 inFig. ,2. Fig. 11 is an enlarged sectional view taken asindicated by line 11-11 in Fig. 4. Figs. 12 and 13 are enlarged end views of the part shown in Fig. -5, and taken as indicated .by lines 12--12 and 13--13 in Fig. 5. Fig. 14 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken as indicated by line 14-14 in Fig. 2, andFig. 15 is an enlarged end. view of the starter switch shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.
The portable work light of the present inventionis a rod shaped illuminating device which may vary'in diameter and length as circumstances require. The structure is particularly adapted to employ fluorescent 1amps,.a'l-: though it will be readily apparent that it is useful in connection with any shape and type of lamp by simply proportioning the structure as required. vAs illustrated, and
. as hereinafterdescribed, we prefer to proportion the work light that is of such construction as to be explosion 1 proof, even under abnormal working conditions. That is,
the light that we provide is so constructed as tobe extremely durable: and not subject to breakage-thus eliminat.-
ing the danger of exposed electrical elements and possible ignition of the surrounding and possibly explosive atmosphere. i
It is an object ofthis invention to provide a portable work light that houses the illuminating lamp in ;achamber that is sealed from the outside atmosphere. The assembly of parts that we provide completely incloses the lamp in a chambenthere being seals at the closures of the chamber that insure positive isolation of the lamp from the surrounding atmosphere. a q Anotherobject of this invention to provide a portable work light of the type. under consideration that includes means for receiving and relating a starter'switchto the other electrical elements of the structure, so that the lamp is illuminated by the cur rent supplied through. a cord.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a The power supply means P provides the. electrical current and involves a' cord 10 that enters the base D and a plug portable .work light of the type under consideration that structure for use with a fluorescent lamp which requires the use of a starter switch. i '1. The structure of the present invention, as shown throughout our drawings, involves generally, a lamp A,
a transparent body, 3, a transparent case C,a base D, a cap E, lamp exciting means F including upper and lower receptacles X and Y and a connector Z', lamp starting means G including a-starter switch S and an adapter R, and power supply. means P. The lamp A is an elongate tubular lamp and is carried within the body B. The "case C, surrounds the body and extends between the base D and cap E, the parts being made so that the body B seals with the base and cap. The lamp exciting means F involves the receptacles X and Y that are carried in the cap E and base D respectively, and'involves'the connector Z which electrically joins the receptacles. The lamp starter means G is carried in the base D and joins elec-- trically with the receptacle Y, which involves circuitry that properly relates the electrical elements of the structure.
11 that joins the cord to the circuitry of the structure.
The lamp A that we have illustrated involves an elon-* gate envelope 12' that is-made of transparentmaterial; such as glass or the like, the ends of the envelope being closed by metal fitting 13. In accordance with the usual lamp construction, a pair of spaced parallel pins 14 proiect axially from each fitting 13, there being pairs of pins 14 at each end of the lamp A. Further, the lamp A is filled with a suitable gas and has electrodes coupled with, the pins to the end that the lamp A is illuminated when electrically excited.
, The transparent body B is an elongate cylindrically shaped tubular elebody B is provided to house and pro-. te'ct'the lamp A, which by itself is a fragile part. The
ment, having an inner wall 16 and an outer wall 17. In accordance with the invention, the body B has end faces 18 in planes normal to the-:axis of the structure and in practice ismade of.a.tempered glass having considerable structural strength. The materialithat we prefer toerriploy is Pyrex .which'is heat-treated annealedglass. 'By employing saidmaterialand by forming the body B with substantial wall thickness, as shown,.there is no danger of the structure failing from internal explosion. For example, the'lamp A, if it explodes, will not cause'bursting of the .body B. The "body B is substantially coextensive with the lamp A and the end faces 18 are flat faces that are trued, as by grinding, in order to seal withfa'cings as later described.
.The transparent case C is provided to encase and protect the glass body B, which could possibly'be damaged or broken by a'sharp blow from the exterior of the structure. The case C, like the body B, is an elongate cylindrically shaped tubular element 'having an inner wall 19 and an outer wall' 20. In accordance with the invention, the case C has threaded end portions'21 for coupling the case to the base D and the cap E as later described. In practice,'the case C is made of a so called plastic material that is tough'and shock-resistant. The material that we prefer to employ is .ucite, which is a tough shockwithstanding material. The inner wall 19 of the case slideably receives the outer wall 17 and of the body B, and is coextensive with and surrounds the body B to the end'that the bodyB is protected from external abuse. The'tubular concentricelements B and C encase'and protect the lamp A so that neither external abuse nor internal explosion will cause breakage or failure ofthe body B. Thus the body 'B --maintains a closed protective chamber 22;
The base D andcap E-are provided to close the ends of 'thelbodyB in order to maintain the-said closedchamber '22. The normal operatingposition'of the portable work lightis vertical, in which .case the base D closes the lowerend of the body, while the cap E closes the upper end of the body. The base D is-coupled to the lower end portion of the'case- C, and carries parts of the lamp exciting means F, and also carries the lamp starting means G.
The base D is a cylindrical element that is joined to the lower end of the case C by means of a coupler 23 to depend from the lower end of the body and-case assembly. As-best illustrated in'Fig. 2 of the drawings, the base D involves an elongate vertically disposed shell 24'and the coupler 23.forms an upwardcontinuation of the shell. A bore 25 enters the lowerend ofthe shell 24 to receive elements of the powersupply means P, while a counterbore.26, larger in diameter thanbore 25, enters the upper end of the shell 24 to receive the lamp starting means G. There is an upwardly faced shoulder 27 where the bore 25.,and counterbore 26 adjoin.
The-coupler 23 is releasably connected to the shell 24 by means of threads 23' and has an inner bore 28 larger in diameter than the counterbore 26 to receive the receptacle Y of the means F. The shell terminates in an upper end face 29 in a plane normal to the vertical axis of the structure, thus forming a seat for supporting the receptacle'Y. Asshown, the coupler .23 has internalthreads 30 at the upper end portion thereof, somewhat smaller in diameter than the bore 28. The threads 30 couple with the threaded lower end portion 21 of the case C, and being smaller in diameter than the bore recetpacle Y in working position.
The cap E is a closure element that is joined to the upper end of the case C to overlie the upper. end of the body and case assembly. As best illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the cap E involves an-inverted cup shaped part 33 that has a bore 34 with a bottom 35. The part 33 is releasablyconnected to the caseC and as shown, the bore has internal threads that couple with the threaded upper end portion 21 of the case C.
28, retain the The bottom 35 of the part 33 is a plane normal to the axis of the structure and, in accordance with'the invention, is provided with a facing 36 adapted to seal with the upper end face 18 of the body B. In practice the facing 36 may be a layer of lead, or the like, that will seal tight with the end face 18. As shown, the facing 36 may be a disc shaped facing co-extensive with the bottom 35. Further, the cap B may include means for supporting the portable work light that we provide,-and as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 of. the drawings, there is provided a swivelly mounted suspension hook 37. 'The hook 37 is rotatably carried by the part 33 and projects upwardly therefrom for engagement with a supporting object or structure.
It will be apparent from the foregoing and from Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings, that the base'D and cap E close the ends of the body B and .case C, forming the closed chamber 22 in the body. In carrying out the invention, the case C is made slightly shorter than the body B, so that the ends'18 of the body are'broughtinto contact with the seals, as shown. It will be understood how the cap E and coupler 23 are rotated relative to the case C in order to create a'tight seal 'at the ends 18 of the body B.
The lamp exciting means F is provided to electrically connect the lamp A with the power supply means P, and with the lamp starting means G when employed. As shown throughout the drawings, the means F involves generally the upper and lower receptacles 'X and Y and the connector Z that extends between the receptacles. When employing a fluorescent type lamp A, it is necessary to electrically excite both the upper and lower ends of the lamp, and it is also necessary to make provisions for a starting circuit. The means F that we have illustrated'incorporates features adapted to handle a fluorescent lamp and therefore includes means to excite both ends of the lamp and also includes a starting circuit; I}
The upper receptacle X of the means F is best illustrated in Figs. '3 and 9 of the drawings, and involves a body 40, a pair of lamp'contacts41 and 42, and a pair of connector contacts 43 and 44. The body 40 is made of insulating or dielectric material and is shaped to enter into the upper end of the body B. The body 40 has an outer wall 45 that is slideably received in the inner wall 16 of the body B and has bearing engagement with the facing 36.
The lamp contacts '41 and 42 are spaced parallel pin receiving'contacts that are carried in the body 40 and are axially disposed to receive the pins 14 that project from the upper end of 'the lamp A. The connector engaging contacts 43 and 44 are also spaced parallel pin receiving contacts that are carried in the body '40 and are positioned laterally to one side of the contacts and 42 to receive pins that project from the connector hereinafter described. The contacts '41 and 42, and the contacts 43 and 44, are spring type contacts that frictionally engage with the pins that are received therein. As shown-in Fig. 9, the contacts 41 and 43 are joined by a bar 47 while the contacts 42 and are joined by a bar 48. The elements of the receptacle X are accommodated in suitable recesses in the body 40 and are held in place by an insulating cover 49.
The lower receptacle Y of the means F is best illustrated in Figs. 2, 4, 8, 10, and 11 of the drawings and involves a body 50, a pair of lamp contacts 51 and 52, a pair of connector contacts 53 and'54, a pair of power contacts, 55 and '56, and a pair of and 58. The body '50 is made-of insulating or dielectric;material and-is shaped to enter into the bore '28 in the coupler 23. The body 50 has an outer wall 50that is slideably received inthebore 28 and has a flat lower end 60 thathas bearingengagement with the upper end face 29 0f the shell 24. Inthe preferred form of the invention, the body 50 has aflat upperend 61.in.a.plane normal to the axisof the structure and in accordance with .thezinvention, is provided with a facing 62 adapted starter contacts, 57
I type to seal with thelower endface, 18 of the body B. In
practice the facing 62 may be a layer of lead, or the like, that will seal tight with,the end face 18. 'As shown, the facing'62 may be a ring shaped facing inserted into the periphery of the upper end 61 of the body 50. It will be apparent how the facings 36 and 62 seal with the end faces 18 to close the chamber 22 within the body B. I
The pairs of .contacts above referred to are carried in the body 50, the contacts 51 and 52, and contacts 53 and 54 being located at the upper end 61 of the body, while the contacts 55 and 56, and contacts 57 and 58 are located atthe lower end 60 of the body.. In the preferred construction the body 50 is a sectional unit of construction made up of upper and lower disc shaped elements 63 and 64, suitably held together by fasteners or the like. We have-shown screws 64 carried in ele:
ment 64 threaded into openings in the. element 63. The,
element 63 carries the upper contacts that engage with the lamp A and connector Z, while the element 64 carries the lower contacts that engage with the powersupply means P and the starter switch S. There are bars later described that electrically connect the contacts, the contacts and bars being carried in recesses in one of the disc shaped elements. ,We have shown recesses in the lower element 64 that accommodate said bars. The lamp contacts 51 and 52 are. spaced parallel pin receiving contacts that are carried in the upper element 63 of the body 50 and are axially disposed to receive the pins 14 that project from the lower end of the. lamp A. The connector engaging contactsv 53 and 54 are also spaced parallel pin receiving contacts that are carried in the upper element 63 of the body 50 and are positioned laterally to one side of the-contacts 51 and 52 and are axially disposed to receive pins that project from the connector hereinafter described.1 The contacts 51 and 52, and contacts 53 and 54 are spring contacts thatfrictionally engage with pins that are received therein. As shown in Fig. 11, the contacts 51 and 55 are joined by abar 65, while the contacts 52 and 57 are joined by a bar 66. The contacts 53. and 56 are joined by a bar joined by a bar 68; The contacts 57 and 58-are. spaced parallel pin receiving contacts that .are carried in the lower element 64 f thebod y 50 and are'disposed axially to receive pin contacts later described. I The contacts 55 and 56 are pin type contacts that project axially of and depend from the lower end 60 of the body 50. j
The contacts 41 and 42, and contacts 51 and 52 are located approximately centrally of the structure so that the lamp A is substantially centered with the longitudinal axis of the structure. In practice, however, the said contacts are located somewhat oif-center in .order to gain room for the connectonZ that occupies the chamber 22 later-ally of and to one side of the lamp A. The connector Z extends between the receptacles X and Y and involves a shield 70 and a pair of busses 71 and 72 that join the connector contacts of the receptacle. The busses 71 and 72 are elongate rod like elements with pin like projections at the ends thereof that are carried in a spaced parallel relationship by the elongate shield 70.
The buss 71 extends between and has pin shaped end portions that connect with the contacts 43 and 53, while the buss 72 extends between and has pin shaped end portions that releasably join with the contacts 44 and 54.
In Figs. 2, 3, and 6 of the drawings, the shield 70 is shown of minimum cross section and formed of a transparent material so that light may pass therethrough with the least amount of obstruction, in which case the busses are the only obstruction. In Fig. 7 we have shown a modified construction wherein the connector Z involves an elongate shield 70' is of substantial width in cross section. In the latter form of the invention, the shield 67, while the contacts 54 and 56 are entially of the lamp A to substantially cover one side 6 thereof. The outer wall 74 of the .shield 70 isicurved to fit within the wall16 of the body B, and the inner wall 75 iscurved 'to act as a' reflector and may be suit-" ably coated with a layer of reflecting material, as circumstances require. It will beapparent how the connector Z joins the receptacles X and Y and acts as a shield and/ or a reflector when desired.
The lamp starting means G is preferably carried within the base D and joins electrically with the receptacle Y and involves a starter switch 76. The counterbore 26 in the base B is provided to receive and accommodate the starter switch 76, the switch having pins 77 and 78 that are releasably engaged in the contacts 57 and 58 respectively. We have shown a common ordinary starter switch 76 that is contained in an elongate cylin drical container and which involves the pins 77 and 78 that project upwardly from the top 79 of the container, which container has an outer wall 80 and a bottom 81. The wall 80 is received in the bore 26 with clearance and the bottom 81 is positioned by the shoulder 27 so that the pins 77 and 78 extend into engagement with the contacts 57 and 58. It will be apparent how the starter switch 76 is electrically related to the power means P and lamp means A through the relationship of contacts and bars above described.
The power supply means P is provided to energize the electrical circuit and lamp A and conducts electrical current from the cord 10 through the plug 11 and to the pin contacts 55 and 56. The means P involves the is necessary. However, if the starter switch 76 is to be.
carried remote from the portable work light structure, a four line circuit will be necessary. In the .case illustrated, the adapter R is a cup shaped sleeve like part slideably carried and seatedon the shoulder '27 in the bore 26, and is provided with a socket or recess 86 that slideably receives the starter switch 76 to hold it in working position. recessed and carries a pair of pins 87 and 88 that engage with the plug 11. Conductor bars 89 and 90 extend from the pins 87 and 88 to pin receiving cont-acts 91 and 92 that are located in the top end of the adapter 6 R. The conductor bars 89 and 90 are carried in longitudinal recesses in the side wall of the sleeve. The contacts 91 and 92 engage with the contacts 55 and 56, above described. Included in the power supply means P is a transformer (not shown) that delivers the proper voltage for operation of the particular lamp A that is employed. The power supply means further includes means for anchoring and for sealing around the cord 10. As shown, a resilient gland 95 is provided that yieldingly grips the exterior of the cord 10. The lower end portion of the bore 25, in the base D, is tapered and the gland 95 is shaped to substantially fit the tapered portion of said bore. The gland 95 is in the nature of a sleeve of resilient rubber like material and has an enlargement that is engaged by a screw cap 96 threaded on to the lower end of the base D. It will be apparent how operation of the screw cap 96 acts to compress the enlargement on the gland 95 to seal and grip the cord 10.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that we have provided a relatively simple and extremely durable port able work light of the type under consideration. The lamp A is not only protected from blows from the exterior of the structure, but is isolated within a closed chamber. With the structure that we provide, the chamber is positively sealed at the ends thereof, and the transparent body which form the chamber is protected by being inclosed within a case of shock resistant material. It is to be observed that the ends of the shock As shown The bottom 85 of the adapter R is.

As we know, Gerina Piller said and everyone knows, it was a much more difficult course today. Very gusty wind , a lot of crosswinds on the golf course . And Jenny Shin just seemed to work her way around the course Very sensibly played within herself and she rolled this ballso good with those lofted fairway medals and hybrids sometimes a long golf course . Because of that, it's almost advantageous, and Jenny Shin is exactly the kind of player who would like to kind of put it to those really long-hitters and say, I can one up you, just watch. All right, and Jenny Shin breaks through and wins for the first time Here in Texas. You can take a week off. It's just a short trip home for you. I will be home tonight. I don't get to do that very often. The rest of us have work to do. We're off to Alabama to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail for the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic which begins on Thursday.
Watch and learn: Executing 'in between' shots
Paige Mackenzie analyzes how to execute an 'in between' shot like LPGA Tour star Gerina Pillerthe rough a lot. This is a prime example. It's actually a dogleg left Where the fairway slopes away from you. So Uni did a great job of lining up on the right side. Go ahead and roll this and you'll see exactly what I mean. She has to go over that corner on the left just to keep in a fairway and she was smart in choosing a fairway medal. Knowing that it's gonna be much more difficult to feed a driver into that narrow spot. So Teeing up on the correct side of the tee marker really helps the angle on difficult tee shots . Yeah, and she used the contour of that fairway and she split it with the result there. Now, final one, what are we looking at here? Another amateur. This is a freshman in college, lovely Cheyenne Knight. She does something so well and it's playing reactionary golf. As we roll this I want you to keep an eye on her head and how often her eyes are looking at the target relative to her golf ball . A lot of us get caught up in looking at the golf ball , but her eyes are focused on the target. Go ahead and roll this. And then when she's ready there is no hesitation.

A Wynk, a Blynk, and a Nod to African American History Books
African American History Month, or Black History Month, as it is often referred to, is observed every February in the United States. There are so many wonderful books that were published this past year. Narrowing down our list has been difficult at best.
Just a few weeks ago, the American Library Association announced all of the children's literature awards for 2015. Several of the books that we decided to feature for African American History Month are among those awards:
Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Peña, illus. by Christian Robinson
This book actually won several accolades, including a Caldecott Honor (the Caldecott Award is given for illustration), a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor, and perhaps the most coveted award of all, the Newbery Award, which is awarded to the most distinguished contribution to children's literature for the year. This is also the first time that a Latino author has won the Newbery Award. The idea of a picture book winning the Newbery medal has caused quite a lot of discussion in the library world, but, it has actually happened a few times in the past. A Visit to William Blake's Inn by Nancy Willard, illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen won the Newbery medal in 1982. It was also named a Caldecott Honor book that same year. Newbery Honors have also gone to Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night by Joyce Sidman (2011), Doctor De Soto by William Steig (1983), and Wanda Gág's Millions of Cats (1929). In Last Stop, a young African American boy learns about the beauty of urban life while riding the bus across […]

A Book is a Book is a Book
A Wynk, a Blynk, and a Nod to Books about Books, Libraries, and Reading
Children's Book Week is an annual celebration of children's books and the joy of reading. Established in 1919 at the urging of Franklin K. Mathiews, Librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, Children's Book Week is the longest running national literacy initiative in the country. Its original intent was to focus attention on the need for quality children's books and the importance of childhood literacy. The need for Children's Book Week today is as essential as it was in 1919. The celebration is the first full week in May and this year runs from May 4-10. There are lots of great children's books that are about books, reading, and libraries. This seemed to be the perfect opportunity to showcase those titles, both new and old.

Asset Allocation in the New Environment
Most investors have a distorted view of volatility and risk. It really isn't their fault; their advisors have been taught to equate the two things and have stated this as a fact. Over a year ago, I wrote about this from the perspective of buying a volatile stock at its lows having only limited risk. The particular example I used there was that buying the volatile stock Micron Technologies (MU) at around $6 represented less risk than buying "safe" US 10 year notes at historically low yields of 1.6%. MU closed yesterday around $17.50 while the US 10 year is yielding around 2.5%, meaning bond prices have fallen dramatically since then, so that seems to have worked out OK.
Of course, this was partly an "equities over bonds" market call, but the point is that risk is at least as much a function of relative price as it is of previous volatility. This doesn't mean that low volatility in a portfolio isn't desirable. It can smooth out the ride and help to prevent investors from panicking out of their investments at a bad time. The problem for long term investors, however, is that asset allocation between stocks and bonds wasn't designed for ultra-low interest rates. In that environment the return on the bonds held is low and the risk of their value decreasing is high. In other words, bonds don't serve to reduce risk in a portfolio; if anything, they may increase it.
So, what is an investor to do? We have become accustomed to the "low volatility" part of our portfolio providing a return in the form of interest to cushion any price swings. Re-investing the interest also helps to grow the capital base. Many believe that, if you were to forsake bonds, investing in stocks with very low volatility would involve a big sacrifice in terms of performance compared to the general market. They would be wrong.
The S&P 500 Low Volatility Index tracks the 100 least volatile stocks in the S&P 500. The chart below represents the relative performance of that index versus the full S&P. (The original chart and all disclaimers etc. can be found here.)
As you can see, over time, low volatility doesn't equate to a low return. Of course, past performance does not necessarily point to future performance, but the evidence is pretty strong that some low volatility component in a portfolio could be beneficial.
Investing directly in an index is not possible, but in these days of ETFs, we can come pretty close. It is possible, through Powershares Low Volatility Index Portfolio (SPLV) to replicate the index. It should be said that this fund was established in 2011, so, while it seems to do a good job of tracking the index, there is a limited track record.
The ETF provides an easy, one stop shop option for those wishing to add a low volatility equity component to their holdings, but some may wish to be a little more selective. The Index is weighted so that the least volatile stocks make up a larger percentage of the total, so you could for example, just invest in the top 10 holdings: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Dominion Resources (D), Pepsico (PEP), Clorox (CLX), McDonalds (MCD), Sigma Aldrich (SIAL), Marsh & McLennan (MMC), Chubb (CB), Southern Company (SO) and Torchmark (TMK).
If part of the reason for moving from fixed income to low volatility stocks is a fear of inflation and thus high interest rates, however, you may wish to be even more selective. Two of these companies, D and SO, are utilities, and when interest rates rise stock in utilities generally falls. This is because the plant and infrastructure they need necessitates a heavy debt burden, and their profitability is influenced by the cost of servicing that debt.
This would leave an investment in JNJ, PEP, CLX, MCD, SIAL, MMC, CB and TMK. I like to feel in control and believe in the power of "tweaking" so that would probably be my preferred tactic, but for most, simply trusting the past performance of the index overall and buying SPLV will serve the purpose.
I must admit that when I came across the chart above in the course of my research, I was surprised. It seemed counter-intuitive to me that stocks with low volatility would have outperformed the broader market over 23 years. I learned a long time ago, however, that if data challenge assumptions, you should re-think your preconceptions.
We are still learning what constitutes acceptable risk as a 30 year period of ever declining interest rates draws to a close. Successful investors will be those who can forget what they have learned over that period and look again at relevant data. What you find there may surprise you.

What else might Jerry Jones admit after drinks?

Truth serum got the better of Jerry Jones again. This time, Jones was caught on camera in a bar saying that Tim Tebow wouldn't "get on the field" for the Dallas Cowboys, and that Jones hired Bill Parcells only to get support for the new amusement park stadium he built for his team.
I guess Tebow is no Chad Hutchinson.

The entire Birchbox team (minus the manfolk) is obsessed with Jouer's Luminizing Moisture Tint and we're not alone—Allure has given the product its coveted ""Best in Beauty"" seal. The oil-free formula feels weightless but gives you plenty of coverage, and because it has light-diffusing minerals your skin looks flawless and glowing. And this formula does more than just look good: It nourishes, soothes, and protects your complexion, thanks to antioxidant-rich ginseng and gingko biloba leaf extract plus broad spectrum SPF 20.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this product. Most tinted moisturizers offer little to no coverage, but this was perfect. It offered sufficient coverage while still being light enough to wear in the hot summer weather! I sampled the pearl, which was great for my light complexion, but a little too shimmery for my taste. I still love the product - just wasn't expecting the sparkles.4
I don't really use any cover-up products but would love to find a lotion that doesn't make my skin look even greasier half-way through the day. This color wasn't quite right for me, but was close enough... I couldn't figure out how much to apply and overall I didn't like the feel of it on my skin. Ah well.4

Archived Story
Paul Sparks was unlike any leaderPublished 9:46am Friday, June 13, 2014
After attending an old friend's funeral last Friday I started reflecting. How could a guy with such a gruff personality be a good city manager? How is it that city meetings were not that professional after he left office? How is it that we believe all the stories without proof? How can a guy fall asleep during a Twins game in the Metrodome with 30,000 people there? And finally, how can a grizzled old bar owner become a pretty good city councilor? With a little help from your friend. Thanks, Paul Sparks!

Cara Therapeutics raised $15 million in a Series D financing round to fund continued clinical development of its Phase II-stage lead candidate CR845 for the treatment of post-operative pain. The financing round was led by new investor Rho Ventures and included previous investors in Cara.
CR845 is a peripherally restricted kappa opioid receptor agonist that has undergone Phase IIa studies. Cara claims the single-dose trials demonstrated the drug's analgesic efficacy combined with reduction in postoperative nausea following laparascopic hysterectomy. A Phase Ib repeat dose trial is ongoing, which is due for completion by the last quarter of 2010. The firm says it will then carry out a Phase IIb repeat dose efficacy study in laparoscopic hysterectomy patients.
"Due to its peripheral activity and lack of CNS penetration, we believe Cara's CR845 has a chance to provide opioid-like pain relief while significantly reducing opioid use and its associated side effects," comments Rho Ventures partner, Martin Vogelbaum, who has been appointed to Cara's board of directors. "There has been little innovation in postoperative pain treatment where opioid use continues to be the standard of care even though it is associated with significant side effects that present an ongoing pharmacoeconomic burden for hospitals."
Cara's pipeline is currently centered on the development of peripherally restricted kappa agonists and modulators of peripheral CB receptors for the treatment of postoperative and neuropathic pain. The firm's lead CB compound, CR701, is currently in preclinical development.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?
