Hedge funds' hefty management fees tend to come with an implicit promise: We're worth the extra cost. But the strategies some are calling the "poor man's hedge fund" lately have been beating the average hedge fund at a far lower cost, and doing it by ripping off famous fund managers' stock picks. The copycats—a pair of year-old exchange-traded funds—are raising a good question: Are hedge funds really worth it?
But also: Are these ETF knockoffs worth it?
The gimmicky-sounding AlphaClone Alternative Alpha ALFA 0.24099801531046214% AlphaClone Alternative Alpha ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 35.355 0.085 0.24099801531046214% /Date(1469739260301-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 9772 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (ticker: ALFA) and Global X Top Guru Holdings Index GURU 0.17316017316017315% Global X Guru Index ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 23.14 0.04 0.17316017316017315% /Date(1469739571479-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5276 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 0.4762791702679343% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (GURU) are built to exploit an unfortunate quirk: Famous fund managers' most concentrated stock picks (as they appear in regulatory filings) tend to do better than the managers' funds on the whole.

Compare that with the nearly 11% return for the Standard & Poor's 500 and the more-than-5% return of equity hedge funds tracked by Hedge Fund Research.
Hedge-fund stock picks predictably tend to plunge during bear markets: The most heavily owned picks fell 47% in a single quarter during the financial crisis, according to Goldman Sachs' equity strategists. But they're often a great bet when bulls are running: Goldman's research suggests a staggering 373% return for any investor assiduous enough to have owned all those stocks heavily favored by hedge funds since 2001.
GIMMICK OR NOT, the question these ETFs raise is the right one: Just what is the real source of hedge-fund returns? Mazin Jadallah, manager of the AlphaClone fund, argues plain old stock-picking—not shorting stocks or other complex strategies talked up by pricey fund managers—ultimately drives performance. "If you don't have a good short story, it's tough to do the '20' part of 'two and twenty,' " he argues. An expensive fund manager has to come up with a rationale of one sort or another. It's been four years since the average equity-focused hedge fund beat the stock market. Over time, high fees, human error, and the sheer difficulty of beating the market add up.
The lesson of simplicity also applies within the ETF market, however. The AlphaClone and Global X ETFs charge 0.95% and 0.75%, respectively, for returns that, in their short history, aren't so different from the SPDR S&P 500 SPY 0.11546277480140403% SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 216.77 0.25 0.11546277480140403% /Date(1469739600229-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 59759824 AFTER HOURS 216.93 0.16 0.07381095169995848% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.9900207593301655% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (SPY) and more-concentrated portfolios. The performance edge of the Global X fund—it's ahead 22% year-to-date—might turn around quickly in a bear market, since there's no hedge. The costlier AlphaClone fund is built to shift half its portfolio to an inverse ETF when the S&P 500 ends a month at a level below its 200-day moving average. So if you're sold on the idea, this one at least might protect you from a steep selloff.
A worrywart investor might instead simply buy the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, which charges a negligible 0.09%, and take a cue from AlphaClone: Cut back your stock-market exposure when the technical signals warrant. In that case, you wouldn't even need a view on the merits of hedge-fund stock-picking, and you'd be taking your investing future into your own hands.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - In a series of tweets over recent days, Pope Francis has raised an alarm to the international community pleading for us to protect and pray for "all those suffering violence in Iraq," and to live in solidarity with them.
Since August 9, Pope Francis has tweeted the following:
08/09/2014 I ask the international community to protect all those suffering violence in Iraq.
08/09/2014 Violence is not conquered by violence. Lord, send us the gift of peace. #prayforpeace
08/10/2014 Those driven from their homes in Iraq depend on us. I ask all to pray, and for those who are able, to give material assistance.
08/10/2014 The news coming from Iraq pains me. Lord, teach us to live in solidarity with all those who suffer.
08/10/2014 An appeal to all families: when you say your prayers, remember all those forced from their homes in Iraq. #PrayForPeace
08/11/2014 "I ask all Catholic parishes and communities to offer a special prayer this weekend for Iraqi Christians." #prayforpeace.
Yes, I want to Help Protect those Suffering in Iraq
Speaking on Vatican Radio on Monday, August 11, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Holy See's Permanent Observer to the United Nations in Geneva noted that "we are faced with a certain indifference at the practical level with the international community. It is difficult to convince-because of false modesty, I would say-the Western powers to take a strong stance in defense of the Christians."
At the United Nations, the Security Council has called for an end to "the systematic persecution of individuals from minority populations and those who refuse the extremist ideology of ISIL and associated armed groups." United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called "on the international community, especially those with the influence and resources to positively impact the situation, to support the Government and people of Iraq and to do all it can to help alleviate the suffering of the population affected by the current conflict in Iraq." No one has yet reported on any proposals for sending in peace-keeping forces to protect and defend the citizens of Iraq.
On August 8, President Obama authorized limited air strikes to protect the Iraqi Yezidi people and others living nearby and the American and some European governments have begun to drop humanitarian aid to the refugees fleeing from the criminal force perpetrating the genocide. On August 11, the USA began supplying arms directly to the Kurdish forces to help them to defend themselves. Many experienced observers question whether air strikes alone can stop the genocide or whether it represents more violence in response to violence rather than a commitment for restoring peace.
Commenting further on Vatican Radio, Archbishop Tomasi said, "At this moment, we hope the voice that is surging from different Christian and religious communities, from moderate Muslims, and from people of good will around the world may find the response of concrete humanitarian assistance that is provided for the Christians in northern Iraq as well as some political and even effective military protection."
On August 11, a group of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim leaders in Denver calling itself the Peace Love and Coexistence (PLACE) Initiative appealed to President Obama "to work urgently through diplomatic channels and ethical intervention to stop the murder and persecution of Christians in the Middle East, their violent displacement from their native homelands, and the destruction of their homes, properties, churches and places of worship."
President Obama may authorize taking a stronger stance in defense of the Christians and others in Iraq, if he believes that the American people want the country to do so. Before that happens, he may need to hear from more American voices speaking out on behalf of those suffering in Iraq.
This is where people of faith in America can contribute first by praying for peace both individually and in groups and secondly by speaking out following the example of the PLACE initiative in Denver. "Bishop Richard E. Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, the chairman of the Committee of International Justice and Peace of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has asked the U.S. bishops to invite the people of their dioceses to pray for peace in Iraq on Sunday, August 17. Not only on that day but on every day, people of faith can pray constantly as Pope Francis tweeted, "to remember all those forced from their homes in Iraq." Today, The Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue in Rome called on religious leaders around the world "to exercise their influence with the authorities to end these crimes, to punish those who commit them, and to reestablish the rule of law throughout the land ensuring the return home of those who have been displaced."
While most Americans want to distance themselves from the ongoing turmoil in Iraq, studies show that a large majority of Americans support action to stop genocide when they see evidence of it taking place. The national press in America has provided only limited coverage of the horrendous acts of violence taking place everyday against defenseless civilians in Iraq simply because of their faith. Beheadings of children, crucifixions of Christians, mass killings, rape, and torture have had limited coverage by the secular media. If the American people knew as much about the genocide in Iraq as they know about the suffering in the Holy Land, support for action would likely increase.
While Catholics and members of other faith communities may find it difficult to influence coverage by national news media, organizing local awareness campaigns and communicating with their members can help to raise the awareness and concern of the American people as a whole.
Many Catholic organizations and other faith communities have representatives at the United Nations who can appeal to the delegates of the member states represented on the Security Council in support of the plea for a "stronger stance" voiced by Archbishop Tomasi in Geneva.
People of faith will die for their beliefs in many parts of the world today, not just in Iraq and 75% of those being persecuted and killed are Christians, many of them Catholic Christians. The 2014 report of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom categorizes 16 nations including Iraq and Syria as "countries of particular concern" for violations of religious freedom and places another 10 countries at a second level of concern. We cannot forget about the girls missing in Nigeria and the killings, displacements, and destruction taking place there, or the killing taking place in the Holy Land, the South Sudan, the Ukraine, and elsewhere. While we support our governments efforts to help find the kidnapped children in Nigeria and to work for peace in the Holy Land and other areas, the magnitude of the suffering in Iraq and the rapidity of its advancing calls for emergency action to overcome what Archbishop Tomasi called "the indifference at a practical level of the international community."
Yes, I want to Help those Suffering in Iraq
Responding to the emergency appeals of Pope Francis, Archbishop Tomasi, and others with prayer and practical ways such as those mentioned here presents a concrete opportunity for American Catholics to put our faith into practice in solidarity with each other and with Catholics and other people of faith around the country and the world. As American Catholics we have the freedom and right to represent the concerns of the suffering people of Iraq, including Christians, Shia Muslims, and Yezidi to our government with its existing presence in Iraq and at the United Nations. How many of us will heed Pope Francis' call?

How DOES one live in London on £1million? New Bank of England chief's wife blames influx of wealthy French to London for her struggle to find a home (despite £5,000 a week allowance)
- Tweeted about the number of people fleeing France's high taxes
- Linked to a story about how Hollande is scaling back taxes, adding: 'Maybe I'll be able to find a place to live in London after all.'
- Diana and Mark Carney will receive a £5,000 a week housing allowance
- Mr Carney is set to take up the role of Bank of England governor in July
The wife of the new Bank of England governor has suggested that her family is struggling to to find a place live in London - despite his £874,000 pay packet.
Diana Carney publicly bemoaned that an influx of wealthy French fleeing their socialist president's hefty taxes has led to a lack of suitable housing in the capital.
Mark Carney, a former £1 million a year Goldman Sachs banker, is taking up the Bank of England governor's post this July. He will receive a £250,000 housing allowance - or £5,000 a week.
New Bank of England governor Mark Carney's wife Diana has bemoaned the fact that she cannot find housing in London despite her £5,000 a week housing allowance
Mrs Carney tweeted a link to a story about how France's President Hollande is scaling back taxes on the rich, with the remarks: 'Maybe I'll be able to find a place to live in London after all.'
With a housing allowance of £5,000 a week, they can certainly afford to look at some of the most exclusive addresses in London.
Mrs Carney - who runs a left-wing think tank Canada2020 and has praised the anti-capitalist Occupy protest movement - also signalled she expected to take part in policy-making in the UK.
Speaking in a TV interview broadcast on Sunday, she said: 'My husband was brought in to bring new ideas and fresh thinking to the Bank of England, and I would hope that I can bring some ideas from Canada in the policy environment and learn from the UK, but also inject some perhaps new thinking in some of the areas with which we're mutually dealing with the same issues.'
She cited income inequality as her top priority and also signalled that she hoped to work with Nick Clegg.
Mr Carney is a former Bank of Canada Governor and will start his new role in July
'It's been a big priority for the Deputy Prime Minister and they have a commission on what they call social mobility and I hope that I can continue working in this area and see if we can make some headway,' she told Canada's Global News programme, The West Block with Tom Clark.
Before his appointment at the Bank of England, Mr Carney - the current governor of the Bank of Canada - was approached to become leader of the Canadian Liberals - a sister party of the Liberal Democrats.
His wife's remarks about the struggle to find accommodation in Britain sparked dismay from campaigners.
John Mann, a Labour MP and member of the influential Treasury select committee, said: 'Her husband is getting a housing allowance that is more than many of my constituents earn in ten years. I would be happy to help her find suitable accommodation. I'm prepared to move out of my London flat for her which will be available at just four per cent of her housing allowance.'
Mrs Carney linked to an article on Twitter that reported that French President Francois Hollande is to scale back taxes on the rich
Robert Oxley, of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: 'While Diana Carney clearly recognises that punitive rates of taxation across the Channel are going to send people flocking to London, not many of us are lucky enough to have a taxpayer funded allowance to subsidise our homes.'
Mrs Carney, who was born in Britain, also said she was braced for interest from the public as part of a power couple. Asked if she could deal with press interest, she said: 'We'll do our best. I think we're both pretty confident in who we are.' The couple met at Oxford where they both played hockey.
A daughter of a wealthy pig farmer, she attended the £31,000-a-year Marlborough College in Wiltshire before gaining a first in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at St John's College, Oxford.
During a grilling by the Treasury select committee last year, Mr Carney defended his remuneration package, which includes a salary of £624,000. This is £144,000 more than the current governor, Mervyn King, because Mr Carney has declined to have a pension.
'The housing allowance relates to the fact that I'm moving from one of the cheapest capitals [Ottawa] to one of the most expensive capitals,' he said.
'It's a relatively common arrangement for senior executives.'
Mr Carney will start his Threadneedle Street role on 1 July 2013.

The Newest Way To Game Twitter: Declaring War
Whether this week represents a lasting escalation of tensions in Gaza remains to be seen. But at least one side will leave this week with a much bigger platform.
There are a lot of ways that people try to game Twitter. Most don't work, but through a series of jarring and controversial posts this week, the Israel Defense Force has found one that does: declarations of war, or at least violence.
On Tuesday, the @IDFSpokeperson account had 61,427 followers. In the last two days, it has grown by over half, with 23,808 new followers yesterday and 9,563 new followers so far today (as of 9:55 a.m., EST). The @AlqassamBrigade account, with which the @IDFSpokesperson account has been sparring, has shown more modest gains.
Caitlin Dewey at The Washington Post makes the case that it's actually Hamas that is winning the "Twitter war," based on the vastly higher usage of the free-floating #GazaUnderAttack hashtag over the #PillarofDefense tag, which was created by the IDF account. The numbers are stark but may not be appropriate to compare: One reads like a headline, or a news package tagline, while the other is a slogan from a propaganda outlet. (Not to mention that the gap is not as wide as it was yesterday.) One affirms a viewpoint far more than the other. More importantly, @IDFSpokeperson's new reach will be there tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.
To talk about Twitter followers while the specter of violence looms worryingly large might seem trivial. But if you ignore the proper nouns for a second — "Twitter" and "The Gaza Strip" juxtapose uneasily — it's easy to see that, at least in the information war, tens of thousands of nearly instantaneous enlistments is significant. And real.
- Athletes probably won't break records at the Rio Olympics. In most events, top performers have already reached the limits of human biology, scientists say.
- Some Bernie-or-Busters protested Hillary Clinton's DNC speech, but a tightly organized plan — from chants to secret allies — kept heckling off TV.
- Sixteen people have died after a hot air balloon crashed in Texas.

LONDON (AP) — The Duchess of Cambridge says in a new video that she and Prince William want all children to get support during difficult times to help them overcome mental health challenges.
The content of the video was revealed Sunday to mark the start of Children's Mental Health Week. The former Kate Middleton says in the video that the royal couple wants to help schools prioritize the mental well-being of their students as well as emphasizing academic success. She says that would allow every child to have a "firm foundation for the happy, healthy future they deserve."
In the video she speaks to several children who have been helped by school programs for mental health.
Charity workers say Kate's involvement is helping to remove the stigma from mental illness.

we visited her in may on a work afternoon out. only 6 of us at 3pm and we struggled to even order - never mind get extra drinks etc. it wasnt busy as it was a weekday but the waiting staff were AWFUL. we waited over 25 minutes just to get our order taken.I will go again but next time i will complain at shoddy service if i get it! Vickyd
We went there a few weeks ago for lunch and I was really impressed. Love Asian food and was best I have had in ages. The vietnamese coffee was to die for and even had a dessert which i never do in Asian restaurants. Highly recommended and we are booked back in for dinner next week! Kat
This place has some very interesting menu choices. It just really trendy and laid back without being overstated Casey
This place is a contemporary fusion of Far East and South East Asian food. The menu has a bit of imagination and is a welcome change from the predictable offerings elsewhere. There is a lively atmosphere with well intended staff. Speciality diets are genuinely attempted to be accommodated. Steve

Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Seeds and Seeding, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Propagation of Baptisia from Lancaster OH
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:My Baptisia has gone to seed. When can I plant these seeds? Do they need strat? (zone 5)
There are four members of the Baptisia genus native to Ohio: Baptisia alba (White wild indigo), Baptisia alba var. macrophylla (Largeleaf wild indigo), Baptisia australis (Blue wild indigo), and Baptisia tinctoria (Horseflyweed).
Propagation instructions for Baptisia alba (White wild indigo).
Propagation Material: Root Division , Seeds
Description: Sow unstratified seed in fall or stratified seed in spring. Plant 1/2 deep. Plants germinate quickly but do not flower for up to 3 years. The tough rootstock can be divided in the fall. The roots are deep, so dig deeply to avoid breakage. Cuttings can also be taken.
Seed Collection: About six weeks past flowering, the pods should be black and beginning to open. Collect at this time comb the seeds from the pod. Mature, viable seeds will be brownish, hard and rounded. Store in sealed, refrigerated containers.
Seed Treatment: Scarification (one source says to pour 135 degree water over seeds and let cool overnight), inoculation, and moist stratification for 10 days.
Commercially Avail: yes

Publix Pulls Free Calendars After Including Islamic New Year
For years Publix has been giving away free calendars to its costumers as a simple little thank you.
This was nice and all until Jeff Katz and Joyce Kaufman, conservative blowhards on 850WFTL, complained that December 7th was marked as Islamic New Years, and not as Pearl Harbor Day.
That's the problem with talk radio isn't it? They have three hours each day to fill with outrage, so they will literally be outraged at anything.
According to Snopes this set off an email chain that included the following warning:
Let Publix know that you will not tolerate this un-American attitude and boycott their stores. You can inform them that your shopping will be done at Walmart, Target and Winn Dixie, who recognize Americans and their fighting men and women. And, they are also cheaper than Publix.

Publix issued a statement today saying that it has never included Pearl Harbor Day because it is not even actually a national holiday at all. Though it has always included Islamic New Years, and it's not their fault the Muslims have some weird calendar system. They also added that the vast majority of calendars don't include Pearl Harbor Day.

Obama & Jay Carney Confirm: This Is Actually Obama's Chosen Spin
Okay, okay, now I know I double-posted Dave. And now I'm kind of doing it again.
But not really. (I hope.)
When David "The Pluff" Ploufle made his Let Them Eat Hope remark, there was always the possibility that was just some dumb shit he made up on his own.
But spokesincompetent Jay Carney is repeating it.
This is actually their approved, vetted message, then.
Message discipline? President Obama emerged from the Oval Office under cloudy skies Friday morning to declare that "what matters most" to himself and Americans is getting the economy back on track -- including job creation.
Politico claims that this is a "contrast" to Pfoufle's statement -- I don't see it that way. I see this as another way to advance the message that "results don't matter, just whether people feel Obama is trying his little heart out."
Obama continues casting this as an item on his To Do list, when in fact it should be on his To Did list -- it should have happened in Winter/Spring 2009.
By the way: Does it make sense to say "The economy sucks, but that's okay, because people vote based on how they personally 'feel' about the economy?"
Right, I know: Dave covered that, too. But here is some data:
If Plouffe is right, it's still not good news for Obama. A June poll by the Pew Center for the People & the Press found 61 percent of Americans rate their own financial condition as only fair or poor, concurrent to a drop in the president's job approval rating. And 66 percent said they expect the economy will be the same or worse a year from now.
It's absurd to postulate that while we have a 16.4% real unemployment rate people "feel" good about it.
Carney defends The Pluff's remarks:
"Most people do not sit around the kitchen table and analyze GDP and unemployment numbers," Carney said. "They talk about how they feel, their own economic situation ... whether they're making their house payments."
The spokesincompetent says that people should give Obama a pass because they're making their house payments.
Guess he didn't hear the news.
And you'll be happy to know Obama's no longer blaming Bush.
No. This is too big.
Weve always known that wed have ups and downs on our way back from this recession. And over the past few months, the economy has experienced some tough headwinds -- from natural disasters, to spikes in gas prices, to state and local budget cuts that have cost tens of thousands of cops and firefighters and teachers their jobs. The problems in Greece and in Europe, along with uncertainty over whether the debt limit here in the United States will be raised, have also made businesses hesitant to invest more aggressively.
Wow, a lot of villains to blame there.
I notice that he only seems concerned about public union layoffs.

Kayne Anderson Mlp Investment CoFind Ratings Reports
- Last Ratings Update:06/30/2016
- Price as of 06/30/2016 :$20.29
- Net Assets:$2,141.6 Million
- Premium3.63%
- Peer Rank:65 of 121
- Investment Rating:D-
- Performance:D-
- RiskC
We rate Kayne Anderson MLP Inv Co at D-. Negative factors that influence this rating include a high expense structure. The fund invests approximately 100% of its assets in stocks and may be considered for investors seeking a Sector - Energy/Natural Res strategy.
Total return ranks well below peers over the last three years. The Kayne Anderson MLP Inv Co has returned an annual rate of 5.90% since inception. More recently, the fund has generated a total return of 0.19% in the last five years, -11.48% in the last three years, and -24.84% in the last year. How does that compare to other equity funds? In the last five years, it has outperformed 30% of them. It has also outpaced 9% of its competitors on a three year basis and 7% of them over the last year for the period ending 6/30/2016. On a year to date basis, KYN has returned 26.73%.
Downside risk has been above average. KYN has a draw down risk of -62.68%, which is the largest price decline experienced over the last three years. This fund has a three year standard deviation of 27.2%. This fund has experienced excessive volatility in its monthly performance over the last 36 months. As of 6/30/2016, the fund was trading at a price of $20.29, which is 4.2% below its 52-week high of $21.17 and 12.5% above its 52-week low of $18.03.
High expense ratio hinders performance. On total assets of $2.14 billion, KYN maintains a high expense ratio compared to its Sector - Energy/Natural Res peers of 5.10% to cover all operating costs. Brokerage costs for the fund to buy and sell shares are not included in the expense ratio. As KYN is a closed end fund, it has no front end or back end load.
Manager tenure is a net positive but performance record lags managerial peers. Substandard fund managers tend to be replaced, so a long tenure is usually a good sign that a fund is achieving its objectives. The Kayne Anderson MLP Inv Co has been managed by John C. Frey for the last 12 years. Over that period, the manager was able to capture more actual gains in excess of the expected return than just 13% of other fund managers.

Manuel here. How do we feel about Hailee Steinfeld? I have never seen her Oscar nominated turn in True Grit so I'm obviously at a disadvantage in discussing her career but really enjoyed her in Pitch Perfect 2, The Homesman and Begin Again. I may give the Coens film a chance but if the upcoming The Edge of Seventeen is my first chance to see Steinfeld carry a movie, I think I'll be okay.
Kelly Fremon (who wrote the Rory Gilmore Alexis Bledel pic Post Grad) wrote and directed the teen flick and it may very well be this year's Perks of Being a Wallflower. We finally got a chance to see a poster and a trailer so check out unfiltered thoughts after the jump »

The murderous rampage at a Colorado Springs, Colorado, Planned Parenthood clinic had barely ended before the left began using it to try to shut down the abortion debate.
The shooting was an act of terrorism directed against women's "health-care services," and incited by the inflammatory rhetoric around video exposés of Planned Parenthood. The triple murder had been nearly inevitable given, in the words of Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, the "toxic" environment created by "hateful rhetoric."
After the Paris attack, conventional wisdom held that Republican voters would finally turn away from political outsiders and reward candidates representing sobriety and experience. No one stopped to consider that, actually, voters might be drawn to the guy who memorably said of ISIS that he would "bomb the [expletive] out of them."
The instant online symbol of global support for Paris after last week's attacks was a roughly rendered peace symbol with an Eiffel Tower in the middle of it. The French designer Jean Jullien sketched it as soon as he heard the news of the atrocity. He called it "Peace for Paris," and it immediately became a sensation on social media.
Ted Cruz gets no respect.
At least no respect in keeping with the impressiveness of the campaign he's built and his increasing odds of winning the Republican nomination.
The press and the political class are beginning to catch on to Cruz's strength, and there has been more talk of a prospective Cruz-Marco Rubio race during the past two weeks, but his coverage and his buzz have been lagging indicators — and they are still lagging.
It was doubtful that the University of Missouri would stand up to a left-wing pressure campaign targeting its president, but when the football team joined the campaign, it was all over.
Missouri is an SEC school, where even a mediocre football program — Mizzou is 1-5 against the rest of the conference — has formidable financial and cultural power.
Marco Rubio has a dubious distinction among the top-tier Republican presidential candidates: He's the only one who crafted and passed through the Senate a so-called comprehensive immigration reform that is anathema to the right.
As Rubio has demonstrated considerable political strength, the spotlight has turned to him. Inevitably, his role as frontman for the "Gang of Eight" bill will get extensively relitigated — and it should.
For the press, the debate about Obamacare is over. There may be a few proverbial Japanese soldiers wandering on isolated islands yammering on about the failure of Obamacare, but word will eventually filter down to them, too.
Bernie Sanders is the most prominent conspiracy theorist in America.
He runs around the country saying that the economy is "rigged" by what he calls "the billionaire class."
Sanders doesn't mean this metaphorically. He's dead serious. As he put it in his speech at Liberty University a couple of months ago, our economy is "designed by the wealthiest people in this country to benefit the wealthiest people in this country at the expense of everybody else."
It was inevitable that Bernie Sanders would be accused of sexism sooner or later.
His day came over the weekend. At the signature Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Iowa, Hillary Clinton hit the Vermont senator for saying in the first Democratic debate that "all the shouting in the world" wouldn't keep guns out of the wrong hands. According to Clinton, Sanders had directed a notoriously sexist insult at her — although not one of the 15 million people watching at the time had noticed it.
If we had been told at the beginning of the year that in October a Republican presidential candidate would be leading the polls nationally and in almost every state, drawing support from across all factions of the GOP and sucking up all the oxygen in the race, most people would have guessed Jeb Bush was going from strength to strength.
Of course, it is his nemesis and tormentor, Donald Trump, who is at the top of the heap. Trump is something new in Republican politics. He's the anti-establishment front-runner.

Auld Lang Syne and Refrigerator Dates
Unless there's a Project Runway marathon on New Year's Eve, I could easily be asleep by eleven. Actually, I've kind of had it with those snotty judges being so hard on those snotty designers.
New Year's Eve often reminds me of my dating years post-marriage and pre- "let's-just-face-the-music." There were a good fifteen to twenty years in which I dipped my toes - and my dignity - in and out of the dating pool. I scored several cherished memories and lots of embarrassing belly flops.
The most typical blind dates were what a friend and I called Refrigerator Dates. A Refrigerator Date starts off well and along the way goes south, as the man describes other women in his life in the most vulgar terms, reveals that he hasn't seen his children in years, or invites you back to his hot tub. My generation, unfortunately raised to be polite, sits it out. When the agonizing – no, it's not too strong a word - effort is over, you arrive home, park your car, let yourself in, go to the refrigerator and lean your forehead against it. After a time you get out the ice cream. A Refrigerator Date.
Sometimes it's not the conversation at all. I once went out with a man who arrived in what I think are called balloon pants. Naturally, we ran into some of my friends that night. Another time, on a second date, too, a very nice heavyset man took me to an outdoor concert. We ran into some people I worked with. When he tried to rise from the lawn chair, he could not remove it from his rather generous hips.
Men, I imagine, have Refrigerator Dates, too. I'm guessing that first they realize that the dinner they're going to pay for is with a woman who has lied about her age and her weight (men consistently lie about their height). After that, and this is only a guess, she talks about her rotten ex-husband, his rotten new wife, and then grills him about his income, and their future together.
I, of course, never did any of that. Instead I got right to my left-wing politics, gave a full discourse on movies he might not have seen and books he might not have read. I think I generally made it clear that I do not suffer fools gladly. What's not to love?
Happy New Year, dear readers. May you keep your memory as well as your memories.

Editor's note: First in a series.
Perhaps it was the ubiquity of the Living Scriptures videos during our formative years, but it sometimes became easy to perceive the critiques of the gospel as being ridiculous and even cartoonish.
Like the clownish henchmen of an after-school cartoon, critics would foolishly devise a plan to trick, contradict and take down our prophetic heroes, but would inevitably come up short. The Korihors and Nehors of the Book of Mormon became a sort of Pinky and the Brain who were easier to laugh at than to take seriously as a threat to take over the world, let alone the household of faith.
Growing up, we realized that many of the attacks on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did indeed fall into this clownish and even comical realm. Attacks more informed by the "Big Love" TV show than the historical record bring more chuckles than despair. They simply are not true and can be dismissed out of hand.
But the Korihor of the Book of Mormon is not moronic. He appeals to our intellect and pride with all the sophistication of a smooth-talking lawyer crossed with a patched-elbow-jacket-wearing professor. He brings a set of criticisms that are altogether more challenging and difficult to answer — questions that create dissonance in our souls and require more research and prayer than dismissive laughter.
These are questions that come to us as serious affronts to our faith and pose to us the question, "Do you really think you can be smart and Mormon?"
The answer to this often soul-agonizing question is an unequivocal "yes." You can be smart and Mormon, and the God we worship wouldn't have it any other way. But this is often not evident for those swallowed up in a crisis of faith.
It is primarily for these members that we write this article, with hopes it will provide a few things to keep in mind when dealing with serious affronts to our faith.
Any time we are confronted with something that seems to challenge our faith, we should take a step back and check our assumptions. In other words, we should understand what we know and how exactly we came to that knowledge.
For example, what sort of picture comes to mind when someone mentions Jesus? Who was he? What do you see him doing and saying? What does he look like? How tall is he? What color hair does he have? How does he dress?
Because such questioning could go on forever, we need to decide which questions are central to our faith and continued participation in the church. These may include questions such as: Does God exist? Is the Atonement of Jesus Christ real? Did Joseph Smith restore a fullness of the gospel? Does President Thomas S. Monson have the authority to lead God's church?
In thoughtfully selecting the questions we concern ourselves with, we prevent ourselves from being paralyzed by a lack of knowledge.
Take the subject of prophets, for example. Mormons learn from their youth that they live in a world where people are confused and that the only tenable course is to follow the prophet because he knows the way. But teaching the necessity of following the prophet can sometimes be confused with the non-doctrinal idea of prophetic infallibility — that, as a human being, the prophet could never make even the slightest mistake.
(We're not saying it would be better if LDS children across the globe made a slight revision to the Primary hymn and instead sang "Follow the prophet! Follow the prophet! He knows the way, but this doesn't mean he'll never be wrong." It doesn't rhyme. The rhythm is bad, and any accompanying gestures would undoubtedly be awkward.)
But what do we do when we come across a historical record that suggests a past prophet seems to have been wrong about something, or taught a doctrine that may have since been repudiated?
