BUFF week starts tonight
This week — starting tonight — step away from the tv and live what the organizers of the Boston Underground Film Festival call "the communal hysteria of the meatspace cinema experience." From Japanese teenage perversity to Italian horror, '90s Serbian porno cabaret to '80s incestuous roller disco, with a heaping helping of love, death, music videos, and giant penguins, BUFF has something to satisfy your freaky side.
Now in its twelfth year of keeping Boston weird, BUFF is hitting puberty. Mascot Bacchus the bunny is starting to grow hair in strange places. His voice is changing, and it's only getting stranger.
Tonight's festival opener Love Exposure is an epic piece of Japanese insanity about a teenage boy mastering the art of upskirt photography while searching for his Virgin Mary. The Phoenix calls it "exquisitely weird." Read the full review, and more festival coverage in the Weekly Dig and Stuff at Night.
Two other films that are like nothing you've seen before are The Life and Death of a Porno Gang and Maverick Mother. Both tell the stories of filmmakers on transformative journeys, but the final destinations couldn't be more divergent. During the twilight years of Milosevic-era Serbia, Porno Gang protagonist Marko recruits his friends for a degenerate theatrical roadshow — and their artistic projects soon become more twisted than he ever imagined. The film is bleak and graphic in every possible way, while at the same time funny and exhilarating. It's not for the faint of heart, but it's not to be missed. In Maverick Mother, Australian filmmaker Janet Merewether documents her quest to become pregnant before her 40th birthday, with or without a father in the picture. It's a topic that could have easily descended into tedious narcissism, but Merewether's unique visual style and quirky humor, combined with a thought-provoking and refreshingly unromantic view of parenthood, make it riveting.
Where and When: Kendall Square Cinema, Cambridge. Get the full schedule of features, shorts programs, and parties. Read more about tonight's party, featuring the bands HUMANWINE and Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys.
Tickets for each screening are available for purchase online in advance or in person at the Kendall Square Cinema box office on the day of the screening. $10 general admission; $8 with student ID; Festival Passes are $100 and include admission to all screenings, priority seating, admission to all parties, two drink tickets at each party, and a BUFF t-shirt; Recession-Special Passes are $35 and get you admission to all screenings between 3/29-4/1.

The future for a lot of investors is through online advice — automated applications that scan our portfolios and make recommendations to lower fees and optimize our holdings.
Launching today, FutureAdvisor will do just that, for free. Focused on long term, cost-conscious investors, the web app monitors holdings, bubbles up ways to save on fees, and advises on which securities to hold/which to sell.
Cofounder Bo Lu joins us to discuss the launch of his company and his firm. Previously at Microsoft, Lu encountered an opportunity to help millions of investors with sound, jargonless investment advice using low cost, index funds. Backed by a top VC and leading angel investors, FutureAdvisor is the culmination of that vision.

Zack: Welcome to Tradestreaming Radio. I'm your host, Zack Miller. I help bubble up tools, tips and technologies to help you investors make better, smarter investment decisions. Today's guest on the program is Bo Lu. He's the co-founder of Future Advisor which launches today, Tuesday, March 20th.
It's an app that provides people with personalized financial advice, sort of this automated professional grade services I was talking about in my book, "Tradestream Your Way to Profits", and I've been talking a lot about it on this program. The app helps recommend ways to reduce fees, maximize tax efficiency and helps optimize investment selection. So, you basically can hook up your account to Future Advisor regardless of where your brokerage is, and then Future Advisor sucks it in, analyzes everything and spits out advice.
What's awesome about Future Advisor, beyond just the ease of use and the focus on being a long-term investor, it's also completely free. They do have two premium programs called the Gold Plan and a Platinum Plan, one which is $50, one which is about $200, that gives you both alerts and scheduled meetings with a financial advisor that Future Advisor has on staff. So, if you want that sort of human contact, they have that as well, but the core product is completely free. I've seen the inside and it works really nice, very sweet and it's launching today.
So, thank you to Bo for being on the program. It's great to learn about your product. Good luck in your new launch and good luck growing your company. It's actually backed by Sequoia Capitol and a few other really top notch angel investors, so it'll be interesting to see the traction that Future Advisor gets.
Again, this is Zack Miller. This is Tradestreaming Radio where we're focused on helping you guys make better investment decisions with tools, tips and technologies. You can find the archives of this program on my website, Tradestreaming.com. You can also find the archives of this program on iTunes. Feel free to sign up and subscribe, either way. We have a free newsletter that goes out weekly on Tradestreaming.com, so come sign up for that. You'll be kept abreast of all the new tools out there that I'm helping to review. Again, I'm very appreciative of your time and your energy. Thanks for joining us on the show, and we'll catch you again next week.
Bo: Sure, my name is Bo Lu, and I am Co-Founder and CEO of Future Advisor. My background is in Technology Management and Computer Science. Prior to Future Advisor, I was a Program Manager at Microsoft. I worked in the Windows home team. I also started investing when I was 16 with proceeds from my first summer job and I have been the expert among friends ever since.
Zack: I don't know, that may be a title that you don't want sometimes.
Bo: [laughs]
Zack: Let me ask you, what was the jump from, say, what you were working on in Microsoft into launching a full-blown financial application?
Bo: Well, the job is actually very natural because we're solving a problem that we saw on our own day to day basis. So, at some magical age in the mid-
20's, folks at young tech companies, like Microsoft, start to really have money for the first time and they're faced with a multitude, as you know, of investment decisions about where to place their 401(K), how to open an IRA, what kind of IRA to open, what to put in it, and almost everyone felt inadequately educated to the task.
And so, because I had been investing since I was much younger, many friends came to me for help, and I first said, "Well, why don't you just go find a financial advisor", and they said, "Well, I tried, but all the good ones don't want to talk to me because I don't have any money yet." That was the first epiphany where I realized that the good financial advisors really only worked with folks who already had money, and it was hard for young people to get quality advice.
Then when I sat down with friends to help them work through their portfolios, I saw that everyone was making the same few mistakes over and over again, whether it was having no international diversification, or having a stock bond asset allocation that was way off for their age and time horizon, or just paying lots in mutual fund fees in a way that was hidden that they didn't really even know they were paying.
So, after seeing the same problem over and over again, we thought to ourselves, "Well, this bears a software solution, so I don't have to keep repeating myself every time I do this." That's the genesis of why we decided to create a software online financial advisor that does this for you.
Zack: Well, it's more than you just not having to replicate your time with all your friends, and I hope you have a lot of them, but it's also the fact that you're providing this service to people, regardless of how large an account they are, right?
Bo: Correct, and that's one of the main things that we wanted to do, which was to make financial advice and high quality unbiased financial advice, from someone who's not trying to peddle annuities or life insurance or term life on you, accessible to everyone and anytime they would want it. So, Future Advisor is accessible in your pajamas at 3:00 in the morning, whenever you want to be empowered with the knowledge and the advice to take control of your own financial future.
Zack: So just the title, Future Advisor, are we talking about specifically targeting retirement income or could you be saving for anything at this point?
Bo: Future Advisor is coming out of the gate targeted specifically at long-
term investing, and long-term investing, the major goal many people have is retirement income. Over time, our vision is that the product will be able to help you with all sorts of time horizons and all sorts of financial goals.
Zack: OK, great, so I see that you're registered as an investment advisor. You're not custodying assets, but you need to be registered like that to provide the overlay of advice?
Bo: Correct, the FTC requires registration and we are registered with FTC to give financial advice in the United States.
Zack: Great, so I come into Future Advisor, I sign up and I see here, I have it open in front of me, personal profile, I set up my income. Why do you need my income? Can you tell me, just take me through a few of these fields?
Bo: Yeah, sure. The questions that we ask on the front page and personal profile, are to build both the asset allocation model target for the client, and also to do the financial projections that you see later on in the application. So, part of having a great financial plan is understanding how much you need to be putting away, whether you're on track for your age and when you started, and how much you'll need in the end to reach your financial goal.
Future Advisor includes a pretty sophisticated Financial Wealth Projection tool that takes into account how much money you make right now, how much income you want in inflation adjusted terms during your retirement, how long your retirement is going to be in this case, and things like we even adjust for Social Security payments calculated off of your income. You know, therefore, Social Security is calculated off of a formula that includes your income in the latter years of your working life. That's one of the reasons that we need income. So, that's some of the reasons that we ask those questions at the beginning.
Zack: Great, so I fill out all that information, I submit it, and then what happens?
Bo: Great question, the application can be thought about in three key steps. In the first step, by filling in the personal profile, we can create the target asset allocation for your situation, and in step two, you're asked to import holding data from your existing investments and we use the same back end aggregation technology at Mint.com to securely and safely import detailed position data…
Zack: Is that Yodlee?
Bo: It is indeed, so via partnership with Yodlee, we have access to thousands of institutions, and then step three is that we then take the data and calculate, based on your existing holdings and existing accounts, the step by step personalized recommendation that it takes to get closer to your target allocation, keeping in mind trying to minimize unnecessary transactions, trying to save you money on mutual funds fees, make you more tax efficient along the way, and get you better diversified.
Zack: So, the output of all that is going to be some suggestions. Maybe, like you said, my stock allocation is too low for my age. Maybe, I lack that international, so you're going to spit out some analysis and some recommendations. What type of recommendations, first of all, am I going to get there?
Bo: Great question, you're totally right on some of the things that you just mentioned. For example, we do alert you if you don't have the international aspect that you might need to have, given your situation. If you don't have some emerging markets, for example, or if you're over exposed to domestic equities, which is something we see a lot in our analytics. We also point out situations like you're not participating in your employer's 401(K) plan or…
Zack: Free money, yeah.
Bo: Exactly, free money. If you don't have an IRA even though based on your marital status, which we asked earlier, and your income which we asked earlier, we calculate that you're eligible to contribute to an IRA this year, but even the bigger questions like do you have the right kinds of accounts and are you contributing to them correctly, are covered, and then we also highlight any high fee funds that you currently own and some suggestions for funds that you might consider in order to save yourself some fees.
The interesting thing, of course, as you know better than anyone, is that people think, "Oh, you know, one percent contribution this year, what's the big deal," but if you actually do the math and calculate that compound for a young person over 30 years, that's a humongous amount of money, so that's some of the things we try to help clients with.
Zack: So, what keeps me coming back to the site then? Am I encouraged to come back every quarter? Once you give me those recommendations, I go and I make the changes in my local brokerage account, my on-line brokerage account, then what keeps me coming back to Future Advisor?
Bo: That's a great question, a couple of key things. One is that for any situation where you have money to invest, you get a bonus, many companies, especially in technology, have an employee stock purchase plan, when you have money to invest, the best starting point to figure out where to invest it is to come back to Future Advisor and see how your portfolio may have shifted since the last time you came back and how you might be able to just gently rebalance with new money. As we all know, if you can rebalance with new money, it's the most tax efficient way of rebalancing.
Also, even if you don't have new money, rebalancing alerts help you know when the market has shifted enough that it's now time to rebalance, and gives you specific options on how to rebalance. As we know, rebalancing not only keeps your target risk profile, but it can also help increase returns over the long run, given a single risk profile.
Zack: Awesome. Just looking through here, so how did you come up with sort of the alternative funds? Are you looking just at a similar, I guess, strategy that the fund manages, just on a lower management fee?
Bo: Great question. One thing that I probably should have mentioned earlier is that Future Advisor is very strongly in the camp of index investing and
[inaudible 11:58] investing. We've looked at all the research, and it's pretty clear that overall, human beings are not good at picking stocks…
Zack: No, we're not.
Bo: …and more importantly, paying other human beings at picking stocks is totally a loser's game. And so, that kind of ethos pervades the entire product, but specifically with our choice of funds, we look at the broadest index funds for those asset classes that we can find. Generally, we look for the lowest fee or one of the lowest fee funds we can find. We never put in a fund that has either a front end load or a back end load or a
[inaudible 12:37] fee or redemption fee or anything like that. Also, we look at tracking error.
We also look at, for example, commission free status in your brokerage because we know that with some of the biggest brokerages, some good funds are commission free. And so, we try to use those whenever possible, but we take that with a grain of salt because we all know where the money is going, and sometimes those commission free funds are hard to pass up the opportunity, so we use commission free funds as appropriate.
Zack: I just want to make sure that I have that clear. So, if I own an actively managed, say, large cap U.S. fund, is the top recommendation that Future Advisor is going to spit out, the passive version of that fund?
Bo: Yes.
Zack: That index fund, OK, and is that clear to people? I guess if people want to understand more about what's going on, is it clear as I go through this sort of glide path, that that's sort of the mantra, the ethos that you guys are sort of living by?
Bo: Absolutely, it's clear on some of the outside pages of the product before you sign in. Also in each fund that we recommend, you'll notice a little question mark icon and a "Why this Fund," and we talk about specifically, why that fund. What index was tracked, what assets tracked, it helps you get exposure to that kind of thing.
Zack: It's interesting because there's like this whole sort of outgrowth of new firms that aren't taking custody over assets, but are providing really sort of impactful periodic information and just off hand, I can think of a few. What sort of sets you guys apart from some of them? That's sort of an unfair question, but the firms focusing on addressing this issue, whether it's a GemStep or whatever SigFig has that they're working on. How would you say you sort of differentiate yourself in Future Advisor?
Bo: That's a great question. The one big differentiator is that we're free, the biggest differentiator of all. We give, for free, advice across all of your accounts. The other big differentiator is coverage for 401(K) accounts which no one in the industry does, and needless to say, no one does it well. So, we use data, both CrowdSource from our clients and also from industry filings with the Department of Labor, to build up knowledge about individual 401(K) plans. If you look right now, Future Advisor supports on the order of, in this moment in time, about 30 or so, but at launch we will have launch support for 100 of the largest 401(K) plans in the country.
Zack: Are you just backing that information out from filings and stuff?
Bo: Yes…
Zack: Wow.
Bo: …so that you can come in and say, "I have this 401(K)," and we can say, "Hey, well it looks like you have a Zynga 401(K) or a Google 401(K)," and we know these are the 12 options, and in those 12 options, given your situation and where your other money is, here are the best funds in these proportions to invest in your 401(K). And here is the contribution split we recommend for future contributions. So, it answers a very specific question which is among the limited plan options, what do I pick and in what ratios?
Zack: This has been a huge nut to crack, so why do you think that it's been so opaque, the 401(K)? So obviously, Yodlee can't get access to that type of information. Are we just a few years away from that? Are we moving in that direction, or is that sort of like kept hidden away, sequestered from prying eyes?
Bo: Well, it's a great question and I think that that there's an entire groundswell of transparency that's coming to the financial services industry. You saw, of course, the Department of Labor regulation coming up, I think, in April that requires more fee disclosure amongst 401(K)s. So, we fundamentally believe that transparency is coming, but it's just not here yet and so we're kind of pulling it along by using whatever sources are available to us, including filings and CrowdSource and data to bring the type quality and objective advice to people for their 401(K)s.
Zack: Cool, so you mentioned you're free. So, I can come in, anybody can come in and there's a free account, but the business model is that you do offer subscriptions. What do I get with subscriptions?
Bo: The key thing that you get with subscription is that you get more email alerts, and you get the chance to schedule one on one conversation with advisors on staff. The model here is very specifically part of our vision because traditionally money managers have taken a percentage of assets, but we don't believe that, actually we know, that it's not ten times more effort to manage ten times more money, nor should your advisors make more money just because you have worked hard and saved up more money.
So, the core software which scales gracefully for accounts of all sizes, is free for everyone, and if you have specific questions about your situation and want to talk to an advisor on staff, you can get a Gold or a Platinum Plan to do that, but in that way, we charge a flat fee for everyone so that we don't make more money when you save up more money.
Zack: So, Bo, it's obviously a dirty secret, but it's no secret, but the financial industry makes money because people have no idea most of the time what they're paying.
Bo: Correct.
Zack: So, people aren't used to sitting out and writing a check or giving their credit card over to pay for these services, you're asking for sort of a change in behavior. How big do you think a business like this could get?
I mean you're talking about people, it doesn't sound like a ton of money, I guess the premium, I don't have it right in front of me, it was like $200 a year?
Bo: Yeah, the Platinum Plan is about $200 a year and the Gold Plan is $50 a year.
Zack: So, it's not a lot of money, but again it's still that user barrier of getting people just to reach into their pocket, right?
Bo: Yeah, that's a great question and you're right that the current financial services model of siphoning, I think that's the best word for it, siphoning money from your account without you really knowing about it has worked grandly for them for decades. We believe both as young people, and also coming from the field of computer science, we believe that transparency will win in the end.
If you look at 30 years ago when you bought tickets from your travel agent, it wasn't clear how much your travel agent was making off of you from that ticket purchase, but today it is, right, because you can price it yourself, and so transparency will win and value will move up the chain. And so, at some point people will realize what they're paying, and once that happens, the transparency will win.
The interesting thing here is, if you look at ICI data, the percentage of U.S. retirement assets invested in index funds has gone up monotonically year by year since the early '90s. It started at, I think, only one percent, 99% of assets were in an active fund, and is now nearing 20%, and it's one of those few things that doesn't move with the market. It doesn't move with performance. People are just catching onto the index, investing low fee trading, every little bit at a time. It's the curve, looks like the curve of a startup, right?
Zack: Yep. I saw recently that ETFs now have 1.5 trillion tracking them so…
Bo: Yeah.
Zack: …that's part of the same move, I think.
Bo: Absolutely.
Zack: Go ahead, sorry.
Bo: We'll be very careful to help guide investors in the right way because, as you saw, ETFs are now becoming active as well sometimes on the edges. We're saying we'll cut through all of the riff raff and help you find the right ETFs or mutual funds for your situation.
Zack: It's a shame because I think part of that move towards active ETFs is just being able to charge higher fees. I don't think the average investor understands the difference.
Bo: No, absolutely not, but we do things like, for example, with data from Morning Star and Lipper about the turnover of your fund and the fact that you hold the funds in a non-tax sheltered account, and we know your income, we actually calculate and these are part of the features that are here now and also will improve as the vision continues to be delivered. We can calculate how much your active manager's turnover is costing you, and these are the kinds of things that we can bring to the table.
Zack: So, the product is launching next week, the 20th, you said?
Bo: Yes.
Zack: Can you talk to us about some of the other things we should expect to see out of you guys in the future, certain things that you're working on that you can talk about?
Bo: Yeah, I can definitely talk in general about the direction we're moving. We're targeting long-term investing first, so we can take a single problem and nail it well, and then you'll see from us a greater push towards ever more transparency, towards ever more education, and [inaudible 21:33] empower the individual investor. And so, like any good startup, we'll do what our customers tell us they need and what they show that they need, and all in a single vector which to deliver on this vision, of empowering individual investors with free, actionable and personal advice to improve their financial futures.
Zack: Wow. Do you envision yourself ever really getting into the custody game or do you see that as antithetical to helping in that realm?
Bo: You know, that's a prediction of the future that I'm not sure that I'm able to make right now.
Zack: Awesome. So, it's a beautiful platform and I'm glad we had the opportunity to talk about it. I wish you the best of luck with the launch and everything.
Bo: Yeah, thanks so much and we're super excited that we are on this kind of cusp of bringing transparency and lowering costs for the entire American investing public. Like you said, the more transparency we can bring and the more people realize what they're paying, the less people will pay, and the less people pay, the more of their own money they get to keep and the less gets siphoned to Wall Street. If we can deliver that vision, we'll be exceedingly happy with ourselves.
Zack: Well, just before I let you go, it feels like, I mean that's an ethos obviously I share with you, but it's also younger ethos. It's a younger demographic, psychographic in that sense, so obviously anybody can use this platform. You built it for everybody. It's extremely easy to use, easy to understand and it works, but are you targeting sort of the younger person?
Can you talk about that?
Bo: Yeah, absolutely. We didn't set out to target the younger person at the cost of excluding older generations, but as you can imagine, if you have a financial services website, it tends to draw a pretty specific crowd, especially at the beginning. So, I would say that we have definitely targeted all investors who are staying in for the long-term.
Some things, for example, that we don't do, we don't help an investor already in retirement because that's a different mathematical game, and it's not something that we can do all at the same time, but we definitely try to target all investors and then across all demographics and across all sociographics, and we hope that along any [inaudible 24:05] story, there's going to be early adopters. And then, there's going to be your main middle We're excited that the product is ready for everyone.
Zack: Awesome, Bo Lu, Founder of Future Advisor. Thanks for joining us on Tradestreaming today.
Bo: Thank you.

Part of the record-setting crowd at the 2012 Jason Crawford Memorial Little Guy Wrestling Tournament.
The wrestling tournament that began 25 years ago to remember a young wrestler has done amazingly well in its mission.
Little did organizers likely know when they sought to simply memorialize 12-year-old Jason Crawford that efforts would last this long and in the process officially become world renown.
The 26th edition of the Jason Crawford Memorial, which began at a five-team, 150-wrestler event in 1988 in Medical Lake, takes place Saturday at the Spokane Convention Center beginning at 9 a.m. The 2013 edition will likely draw in the vicinity of 1,400.

Final Stats
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Northern Illinois (3-15) bounced back from a 1-0 deficit to take a 7-1 lead in the top of the sixth inning against Lipscomb (7-9) but were unable to hold the lead and fell to Lipscomb, 12-8. The Huskies combined for 13 hits in the game, three of which came from Jeff Zimmerman (Tinley Park/Andrew).
"We swung the bats well enough to win today but our bullpen was not able to hold the lead," said Head Coach Ed Mathey after the game. "We can't rely on our starters all the time if we want to win games, we have to get better in the bullpen. Credit to Lipscomb though, they did a good job battling back at the plate with two strikes on them to get hits and score runs."
The Huskies found themselves in a 1-0 deficit after the first inning of the game after Lipscomb's Taylor Stewart singled to score Joey Cecere from second base.
NIU tied the game in the top of the fifth inning after Connor Duckhorn (Darien/Cowley County) singled through the right side to lead the inning. Freshman Tommy Hook (Lockport/Lockport Township) knotted the game when he drove home Duckhorn on a single to left field.
In the following frame, Northern Illinois scored six runs to jump out to a six run lead, 7-1. The Huskies combined for seven hits in the inning and reached base on one error. NIU was one run shy of tying its season-high for runs in an inning. Landon Tenhagen (Burlington, Wis./Madison Area TC) doubled down the left field line on the first pitch with runners on second and third to sustain the NIU run. Northern Illinois left one runner on base in the frame.
The Bison responded in the bottom half of the inning with seven runs of their own to take an 8-7 lead after six stanzas. Lipscomb added four runs, two in the seventh and eighth to increase its lead to 12-7.
Jamison Wells (Combined Lock, Wis./Kimberly) finished the game 1-for-4 at the plate with one walk and a stolen base, putting him just one shy of tying the all-time mark at NIU. Zimmerman went 3-for-4 and scored one run, with Duckhorn scoring two runs in his 1-for-3, one walk day. Zach Badgley (McHenry/McHenry) pitched 1.1 innings with zero hits and zero runs.
The Huskies will close the Music City Tournament tomorrow afternoon at Belmont. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

Box Score
SEATTLE – The No. 5 Huskies were bested by the No. 2 UCLA Bruins in the third and final game of their three-game Pac-12 series by a final of 4-0 Monday afternoon at Husky Softball Stadium.
The Huskies (21-7, 2-3) won game two of the series Sunday, 10-2, in five innings, but dropped game two to the Bruins (28-2, 5-1) on Saturday, 4-2, and lost game three Monday.
Bruins starting pitcher Ally Carda threw a complete-game shutout in moving to 17-1 on the season.
Senior Bryana Walker made her 16 start of the season for the Huskies and allowed just run one over 3.0 innings, but she took the loss and fell to 13-4. Kaitlin Inlgesby threw the final 4.0 innings in relief of Walker.
The Bruins took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 3rd after a hard-hit single scored UCLA shortstop Delaney Spaulding from 1st base. UCLA added a run in the 5th and two in the 7th on a home run by third baseman Mysha Sataraka.
The Huskies best chance to score came in the bottom of the 5th inning when pinch-hitter Dani Braun drove a one-out double. Kelli Suguro followed with a single, but Braun was thrown out at the plate, and the rally was ended.
With two outs in the bottom of the 6th, Hooch Fagaly got aboard on a single, which brought up team leader in home runs and RBI, Kylee Lahners. But Lahners hit a deep fly ball that was caught by UCLA, and the Huskies were turned away again.
Jennie McNeill reached twice for the Huskies, registering a single and a hit by pitch. Victoria Hayward went 0-for-2 and had her season-best 10-game hitting streak snapped. During the 10-game streak, Hayward hit .393 (11x28) with nine runs scored, two doubles and two RBI.
The Huskies next travel to No. 3 Oregon for three games, beginning Friday, March 28. All three games will be broadcast live on the Pac-12 Networks.

Friday the 30th, 7pm and Saturday the 31st from 10 to 4
Both at United Methodist Church, 250 California St., Santa Cruz (near Bay)
Admission: Friday $5-$15, Saturday Free; Lunch $10 with RSVP
How will Santa Cruzans feed ourselves in 2020? What will be our creative solutions to the challenges of expensive energy and a warmer, drier climate? Taking a close look at our local food supply and its future is the theme of a pair of upcoming events we are organizing at the end of January. In an evening panel event and a follow-up community day of conversation and brainstorming, Santa Cruzans will have the opportunity both to hear perspectives from some of our local food mavens and to contribute their own ideas to the mix.
The Friday evening event will feature a local farm slide show by blogger and photographer Tana Butler (http://smallfarms.typepad.com/), along with contributions from Mark Lipson (Organic Farming Research Foundation), Ildi Carlisle-Cummins (Community Alliance with Family Farmers), Deborah Yashar (Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association) and others.
On Saturday, community members are invited to set the agenda themselves in a day of small group conversations on the topic of the future of food in Santa Cruz. This will be the first of a series of Open Space days that we will organize on various topics. Open Space Technology is a well-tested approach to creating productive meetings of community groups (as well as nonprofits and corporations). At the beginning of the day, participants will announce their ideas for discussion groups. These topics will be posted on a schedule of several sessions that participants will be able to attend throughout the day. Every group will have a note taker, and every participant will have access to notes from every group's meeting at the end of the day.
Both events are co-sponsored by the Ecological Farming Association (EFA), Ecology Action (EA), UCSC's Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems (CASFS), the Open Space Alliance (OSA), and California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). We are also pleased that New Leaf Community Markets will be sponsoring the lunch on Saturday of yummy, local, organic food.
See you on the 30th and 31st as we explore how this essential part of the relocalization process could look for us here in Santa Cruz.

Apple announced the iPhone 4S today at their much hyped media event in Cupertino, California. New CEO TIm Cook took center stage and led the keynote as Apple's newest wonder device.
Despite speculation as to what the name of the next generation iPhone would be, iPhone 4S won out. This makes sense as it appears very similar to the iPhone 4 in design. The screen is also the same size.
New features of the iPhone 4S include the A5 chip, the same processor used in the iPad 2. According to Apple Vice President Phil Shiller, This will allow for an unheard of level of graphics in such a small device. The A5 will also make the iPhone 4S seven times faster than the original iPhone.
The iPhone 5 will also run the iOS 5, Apple's newest Operating System for iOS devices.
Shiller also said the iPhone 4S will also feature a dial antenna system that will allow for improved call quality. This is in direct response to the iPhone 4's Antennagate problem. It will also be universal between GSM and CDMA, something Shiller and Apple call the "World Phone."
Shiller went on to introduce the new eight megapixel camera, which will vastly improve the iPhone's photographic ability. It will also have face detection and an faster shutter speed for action shots.
The improvements to the camera are not just to the photography side, the video camera will also be upgraded to 1080p on the iPhone 4S, according to Shiller.
But perhaps the most impressive addition to the iPhone 4S is the innovative Siri. Siri, is a virtual personal assistant powered by your voice commands. It is an intelligent program that responds to questions and commands.
For example, if you were to ask, "What is the weather like today?" Siri would respond "Here is the forecast for today," and give you the forecast. You can also ask Siri for restaurant recommendations, or to look things up on Safari as well as send text messages.
The iPhone 4S will be available in three versions. The 16 GB version will be available for $199, the 32 GB version for $299 and the 64 GB version for $399. All of these deals require a two year contract. The iPhone 4S will be available for preorder on October 7, and will be released on October 14.

But this is no anti-evangelical rant. Carter, the first evangelical president, sees evangelicals as the swing vote — and suspects they may swing Bush out of office, for failing to hew to the Christian principle of helping the poor.
Peace prize or no, Carter's still playing politics; but McGarvey's report on the growing strength of "freestyle evangelicals" is right on the money, both in its exploration of the political diversity within the evangelical movement and in its indictment of most of the mainstream press for ignoring that sophistication.
Some people get it, though.
"In early January," writes McGarvey, "an editorial headlined 'How Would Jesus Vote?' in West Virginia's flagship newspaper, the Charleston Gazette, sharply contrasted the actions of the Bush administration with the beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. The writer summed it up, noting, '[A] glaring contradiction exists: Everything that Jesus stood for seems opposed by Republicans now in control of Washington … . Why on earth do so many churchgoers vote for the opposite of Jesus?'"
McGarvey points to similar editorials in evangelical strongholds across the country that suggest that Republicans "could be taking a little too much for granted."
More freestylers:
Beliefnet: "The Surprise Swing Vote"
Slate: "How Prayers Poll"
E-Church: "I Might Be a 'Freestyle Evangelical'"
The Washington Monthly: "Do Democrats Have a Prayer?"
MSNBC: "Democrats Wrestle With Religion"
Reno News & Review: "The Democratic Party May be Missing its Chance to Exploit Religious Liberals"
Sojourners, the original freestyle evangical magazine.
And watch for more smart stuff from McGarvey, who'll soon be publishing an online column on religion and politics.

Once Healthy Chinese Now Fat
China's booming obesity. Reuters reports:
1. Kafatos, A., A. Diacatou, G. Voukiklaris, et al. 1997. Heart disease risk-factor status and dietary changes in the Cretan population over the past 30 years: the Seven Countries Study. Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 65 (6):1882-86.
"What's happening in China should be seen as a marker for what is going to hit the rest of the developing world if we fail to act," said study author Barry Popkin, a professor of nutrition at the Carolina Population Center at the University of North Carolina.Scary, especially since this unhealthy diet shift is catching on. For example, the once healthy people of Crete have already endured the same fate as the Chinese. Their Mediterranean diet is gone and now they're fat. Dr. Fuhrman explains:
"We need to find the right investments and regulations to encourage people to adopt a healthy lifestyle, or we risk facing higher rates of death, disease, and disability and the related costs," he added.
Chinese people now derive a far larger proportion of energy from fat and animal-based foods, such as meat and eggs, compared with in the past, the study found.
"The classical Chinese diet -- rich in vegetables and carbohydrates with minimal animal-sourced food -- no longer exists," the study said.
"In 2006, fewer than one percent of all Chinese adults consumed a diet with less than 10 percent of energy derived from fat."
If we look at the diet they consumed back then, we note that Cretans ate mostly fruits, vegetables, beans and some fish. Saturated fat was less than 6 percent of their total fat intake. True, they ate lots of olive oil, but the rest of their diet was exceptionally healthy. They also worked hard in the fields, walking about nine miles a day, often pushing a plow or working other manual farm equipment.For more on this, be sure to check out the adeptly named China Study. It makes it pretty clear. People eating a diet rich in animal foods and deficient in plant foods are at an increased risk of disease and premature death.
Today the people of Crete are fat, just like us. They're still eating a lot of olive oil, but their consumption of fruits, vegetables, and beans is down. Meat, cheese, and fish are their new staples, and their physical activity level has plummeted. Today, heart disease has skyrocketed and more than half the population of both adults and children in Crete is overweight.1

Sacramento, Calif. – The University of Arizona Wildcat track and field program had two athletes earn medals at the 2014 USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships on Sunday in Sacramento, Calif. The meet was held at Sacramento State's Hornet Stadium.
For the second-straight year, Georganne Moline earned a runner-up finish at the USA Championships in the 400-meter hurdles. Moline, a 2012 Olympian and Pac-12 Champion for the Wildcats, clocked a season-best time of 54.00 which ranks as the No. 3 time in the world on the year. The volunteer assistant coach for the Track Cats really started to push the pace at the fifth hurdle and managed to clear the troublesome seventh hurdle with ease. Moline finished behind former Stanford Cardinal Kori Carter, who clocked a time of 53.84 which is No. 1 in the world.
"I'm super proud of her," head coach Fred Harvey and Moline's personal coach said. "It's been a long, drawn out season for her. She's been trying to overcome some demons from falling at the 2013 IAAF World Championships and we've just really been getting back to the basics. She's stronger and faster and all those good things. I'm so proud of her mental resiliency, she was second in the race but as far as I'm concerned that was a win. She can now move on with her season and do great things."
In the women's high jump competition, six-time NCAA Champion at Arizona Brigetta Barrett took third place overall with a clearance of 6-3.25 (1.91m). Barrett could not successfully defend her title from the 2013 USA Championships but she was able to battle through nearly 100-degree temperatures and take third place. Barrett won the women's high jump at the USA Championships in 2011 and 2013 as well as earning the silver medal at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.
"I'm really proud of our representation at USA Championships," Harvey said. "We had 10 people that represented the program here and that's one of the largest camps in the country at this meet. If you look at how they all performed, a champion, a couple silver medals and a bronze medal, you have to be really excited with what we are doing in track and field at Arizona."
On June 28 in Nivelles, Belgium, Lawi Lalang began his professional career with a win in the men's 1,500-meter race with a time of 3:40.22.

Carnival Corporation, the cruise industry's equivalent of the Energizer Bunny, continues to be on a roll with new ship orders. Today, the company announces that it's signed yet another agreement with Italy's Fincantieri to construct four new cruise ships for a tab of about $2 billion total.
The lucky lines receiving the new vessels include:
Holland America will get an 86,000-ton, 2,044-passenger ship -- its largest ever. The ship, to be built at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard, will be delivered in summer 2008 (and there's an option for a sister ship, slated for launch in spring 2010.
Key point: This is the first new order for Holland America in quite a while; the line will debut its otherwise "last" ship on the books, the Noordam, in February 2006.
At 130,000 tons and carrying 3,608 passengers, a new ship for Carnival Cruise Lines stretches that line's boundaries. It will be built at the Monfalcone shipyard and is slated for service in the fall of 2009 (with an option for a sister to debut in the summer of 2010).
Key point: Carnival has two other ships already in the construction pipeline. Carnival Freedom, a Conquest-class vessel, debuts in spring 2007. Another unnamed 112,000-ton, 3,006-passenger vessel is already being marketed as a new class of ship for Carnival, and will premier in the spring of 2008.
Also interesting: Note how much larger, if you use the gross ton measurement as a guide, the latest new-builds are -- and yet they hold just eight more passengers than the 2008 model. Very, very curious.
Princess Cruises will get a sister to the 116,000-ton, 3,100-passenger Emerald Princess. The new vessel will launch in fall of 2008 and will be built at Monfalcone (Emerald Princess debuts in spring of 2007).
Costa, which has no new ships on order after its CostaConcordia (launching next summer), will get a sister; the 112,000-ton, 3,004-passenger vessel will launch in the summer of 2009 and be built at Fincantieri's Sestri shipyard.
Key point: In between, look for CostaSerena, which will debut in 2007.

It's no secret that the City of Chelan has certain neighborhoods with drug activity and drug related crimes on the rise.
In fact, representatives from the ChelanCounty Sheriff's Office along with the Drug Taskforce have met with community members regarding those concerns.
The problem? Community members are frustrated by the lack of a resolution, and Sheriff Deputies say their hands are tied.
ChelanCounty North Sergeant, Rob Huddleston, says that the deputies know about the problem areas, and sympathize with the citizens.
Huddleston says he feels the neighborhood is a safe place to live, but encourages neighbors who are aware of drug activity in their neighborhood to document and report it to ChelanCounty Sheriff's Office.

Awarded Grant to Prevent Violence and Violence-Related Injury
Implementing SafeCare to Prevent Child Maltreatment in Underserved Populations: A Study of Training Models
Award Type: CDC-Public Health Research Awards (OPHR)
FOA Number: RFA-CD-08-001 Elimination of Health Disparities through Translation Research Award (R18)
Project Period: 09/30/2008 – 09/29/2011
Application/Grant Number: CE001479A
Principal Investigator: Lutzker, John
Georgia State University Research Foundation, Inc.
Post Office Box 3999
Atlanta, GA 30302
Phone: (770) 841-0522
Email: email@example.com
This study will examine the impact of enhanced versus standard training for trainers and coaches in the implementation of a train-the-trainer (TTT) approach of the SafeCare parenting program. The research study will be layered on a training contract being developed between NSTRC and the Georgia Department of Human Resources to provide SafeCare training to DHR staff. With funds provided by the research grant, we will increase the number of DHR trainers and coaches trained by NSTRC as DHR begins statewide implementation of SafeCare. We will randomly assign half of trainees to the standard training model of training, and half to an enhanced model of training. The standard training model includes workshop training, practice, and in-vivo skill demonstration. The enhanced training model will consist of the standard training plus coaching or consultation from NSTRC trainers for up to six months. NSTRC trainers will work with trainers and coaches assigned to the enhanced model by observing them and providing feedback on their performance to ensure training and coaching is delivered with fidelity and competence. The primary outcomes of the study are fidelity- and competence- related measures for trainers and coaches and the home visitors they train/coach, and engagement measures for the families served. The primary analyses will focus on understanding whether the enhanced training model results in (1) greater fidelity and more competent provision of services for trainers, coaches, and home visitors, and (2) greater engagement and retention of families. We will also examine how a variety of individual and organizational characteristics influence fidelity and competence, alone or in combination with training. Finally, because of the increased cost of the enhanced training model, we will conduct an economic analysis to calculate the incremental benefits in fidelity, competence, and engagement/retention afforded by the more costly enhanced training.
Public Health Relevance
Successful prevention and intervention of child maltreatment requires the implementation of evidence-based practices in child welfare systems and prevention programs. Reducing disparities requires a focus on implementation of evidence-based programs for problems that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, and attention to how those populations receive those programs. As the state of Georgia begins a statewide rollout of the SafeCare parent training program, this study will compare two training models for SafeCare(R) with regard to how they influence trainer and coach fidelity and competence, and provider fidelity and competence and client engagement.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (31 votes).
In short: Hilly, hot, scenic with a demoralising finish.In full: This race is hard! After 2 miles you start the first climb which would be difficult in a car! This lasts for about 2 miles until a reprieve of beautiful scenery and some much needed downhill. In the middle are another three miles of climbing which are very tough. a reasonably tough but scenic second half overall. I can't blame the organisers but don't expect a pb. Glorious weather didn't help but again this is no fault of the organisers. The stewards out on the course were great and more plentiful than you may think, however the water stations were quite poorly thought out. 750ml bottles of water are too big and the alternative half full cups are not enough on a hot hilly marathon. The end of this marathon is slightly absurd, you pass the finishing line in the opposite direction through the hundreds of crowds thinking you've nearly finished and then get ushered around a further half a mile of 'making up the distance' route around tenby through small paths, quite demoralising to say the least! Overall the marathon is worth doing if you fancy a challenge and the scenery on the second half is amazing, I do think it could be organized a little better however and you don't get a lot for your entry fee.Date of review: June 7, 2011
In short: What a toughy, it was definitely hilly especially in first half. Definitely worth a go.In full: For all those who like a hilly marathon you have to do the Wales marathon: Tenby to Pembroke dock and back again. I knew it was meant to be hilly but crumbs.... Amazing views though, I've never experienced such breathtaking views, would definitely recommend.Very sore now!Date of review: June 7, 2011
In short: Lovely in every way, apart from the hill between 20 and 21.5 milesIn full: Was having a great time in this, my first marathon, for the first 19 or so miles (my time to half way would have been a comfortable half-marathon PB), but then the sun and the big hill out of Manorbier started to opress, so I died badly at the end. Still, beautiful scenery and very friendly with better support than many less remote runs I've done. I would do it again, but I need some more practice with easier routes first!Date of review: June 6, 2011
In short: Hot, hilly and got a telling off at the registration desk. In full: Was planning on a nice scenic half on a mild day but got rather more than I'd bargained for. Firstly my friend and I were "told off" at the reception desk for missing the race briefing. Give me a break if it is well posted and well marshalled why do you need a briefing? Then at the strat line we realised the marathoners (we were doing the half) were going to have to run through us at the start. There was no lane cordoned off for the marathoners so they had to make their way through the crowd of half marathoners. Not fair! So the organisation was a bit average. The course itself was quite hilly. Made worse by the heat. More water stations were needed for such a hot day and some ice wouldn't have gone amiss. Not a pb day at all. The race has potential to be better. Date of review: June 6, 2011
In short: Beautiful Course, Poor Finish. Very hilly!Date of review: June 6, 2011
In short: Brilliant brilliant brilliantIn full: Excellent event, superb organisation (especially considering the work that had already gone into the swim and bike events in the preceding days) and a lovely course although even the hills had hills on them :)Only minor gripe is that it comes up about a half mile short, but I'm sure the hills make up for the difference.Huge thanks to the Activity Wales team and all those marshals - will be back next year!Date of review: June 6, 2011
In short: Blazing sunshine and murderous hills . Loved it :)In full: That was tough. Kept hold of my bottle of water thank God so I had plenty to drink . Hills were tough. Most people walked them so I ended up Overtaking quite a few runners but no chance of a pb. Great friendliness , brilliant course , loads of greenery. Last 1/2 mile was cruel. Crap medal but Would do it again. That's number 16 done. Next one Sourh Downs. Date of review: June 5, 2011
In short: Scenic hilly challenge In full: All hills, nothing on the flat, spectacular scenery. Good challenge race though. Oct 2010 race spoilt by disorganised confusing end - last miles dodging strolling visitors in Tenby and having to run up and down steps, over cobbles and round bandstand. Plus you have to cross two finishing lines, not one. For half marathon runners there is a fair amount of hanging around before the race at Pembroke Castle. Date of review: March 6, 2011
In short: Hilly, tough, very beautiful, well organisedIn full: Lovely weather. Brill samba band to see us off & back! Proffesional announcements, photos & film cameras, good road marshalling. Some water was apparently nicked the night before reducing water stops? Extra 0.6 mile when you think your're at the end. Beautiful and tough, hilly route. Good support. Like to do it again, but tri only next year.Date of review: October 7, 2010
In short: My first marathonIn full: This was my first marathon and I knew it was going to be hilly but yet still wasn't expecting it. It is three days after and I still can't climb the stairs properly. It was an amazing experience though and I loved every minute. The general public and the marshalls were fantastic. I was offered sweets, bananas and popcorn by the general public who really helped make the day. The ending was a bit cruel but to me it just makes it more memorable. Well done Tenby!!

If $I$ is an ideal, could you show that if $ x\in I$ and $y\notin$ I, then $x+y \notin I$? It seems like an intuitively obvious statement and yet my rigor is failing me. So if you could show me all the steps of the proof that would be much appreciated.
Sign up

Assume for the sake of contradiction that $x\in I$, $y\not\in I$ and $x+y\in I$. Since $I$ is a subgroup of the additive group of the ring, we have that $y = (x+y) - x \in I$ which is a contradiction. As mentioned by Dylan Moreland, this is a general fact about subgroups of any group.
Another way which I find useful in dealing with things like this: Suppose that $x \in I$, $y \notin I$ but $x + y \in I$. Then saying that $x + y \in I$ implies that $x + y = m$ for some $ m \in I$. Rearrange to write $y = x - m$. Now $x \in I$ and $m \in I$. Since $I$ is an ideal and $m \in I$ we must have
$$(-1)\cdot m = -m$$
being in $I$. Furthermore $I$ being closed under addition means that $x + (-m) = x - m \in I$. However recall $y = x-m$ so this means $y \in I$ which contradicts the assumption that $y \notin I$.
$\hspace{6in}$ Q.E.D.
This is a special case of the following complementary view of a subgroup.
Theorem $\ $ Let $\rm\,G\,$ be a nonempty subset of an abelian group $\rm\,H,\,$ with complement set $\rm\,\bar G = H\backslash G.\,$ Then $\rm\,G\,$ is a subgroup of $\rm\,H\iff G + \bar G\, =\, \bar G. $
Proof $\ $ $\rm\,G\,$ is a subgroup of $\rm\,H\iff G\,$ is closed under subtraction, so, complementing
$\begin{eqnarray} & &\ \ \rm G\text{ is a subgroup of }\, H\ fails\\ &\iff&\ \rm\ G\ -\ G\ \subseteq\, G\,\ \ fails\\ &\iff&\ \rm\ g_1\, -\ g_2 =\,\ \bar g\ \ \ for\ some\ \ g_1,g_2\in G,\ \ \bar g\in \bar G\\ &\iff&\ \rm\ g_2\, +\ \bar g\ \ =\,\ g_1\ for\ some\ \ g_1,g_2\in G,\ \ \bar g\in \bar G\\ &\iff&\ \rm\ G\ +\ \bar G\ \subseteq\ \bar G\ \ fails\qquad\ {\bf QED} \end{eqnarray}$
Instances of this are ubiquitous in concrete number systems, e.g. below. For many further examples see some of my prior posts here.

Men's XC Wraps Up `13 Season With Ninth Place Finish At IC4A's
Nov. 24, 2013
BRONX, N.Y. - On Saturday afternoon some of the less battle-tested harriers competed in the IC4A Championship for a chance to impress their coach and add excitement for the 2014 season. The UMass squad finished ninth overall in a field of 20 teams in Bronx, N.Y. This year's team was certainly a young group however many of the young runners progressed nicely throughout the 2013 campaign under the training of Coach O'Brien.
The top five for the Minutemen finished in the top half of the 186 man race with Richard Racz leading the way as the only UMass runner to finish in the top 20. Racz placed 18th overall, completing the five-mile course in 26-minutes, 29.5-seconds. He was followed in 23rd place by the freshman John Burns. Burns finished in 26-minutes, 35.8-seconds.
Quentin Stipp was the next to cross the finish line for the Minutemen, clocking in at 26-minutes, 57.3-seconds. The sophomore was the 49th runner to cross the finish overall. Next in line were Jake LeBlanc in 76th place and Paolo Tavares in 80th. LaBlanc finished the course in 27-minutes, 25.8-seconds while Tavares was just a few seconds behind at 27-minutes, 29.8-seconds.
Sam Burke was the sixth UMass runner to cross the line in 104th place with a time of 27-minutes, 52.7-seconds. Freshman Owen Wiggins was the seventh man to cross at 28-minutes, 27.9-seconds in 127th place. Also seeing action for the Minutemen were freshmen Eric Gironda and Jacob Holscher.
The success of the youthful runners already has the team excited for the future, as the team will have a significantly large core of juniors and sophomores next season and will be led by two-time All-Conference runner Antony Taylor and Pat McGowan. The 2013 squad already impressed those among the conference with its fourth place finish in the Atlantic 10 Championship as one of the youngest teams in the conference. Coach O'Brien will look to bring in another talented freshman class next year in order to bolster what will be a strong experienced squad and give the team the boost it needs to repeat as one of the top team in the conference.
