Fund Expenses: They're Going Down, Down, Down; Conventional Wisdom Is Belied By the Numbers
By RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.
Published: July 4, 1999
ASSETS were not the only things increasing at Fidelity Contrafund through the early 1990's. While the fund grew sixfold, its expense ratio also climbed.
But after peaking at 1.06 percent in 1993, the ratio began to fall. Now, Contrafund charges investors 0.61 percent every year to manage their money, the lowest amount in more than a decade.
Contrafund investors are not alone. The fees that the average mutual fund investor pays are going down.
The trend flies in the face of conventional wisdom, which holds that expenses have been flat, or even rising. Indeed, the industry has come under heavy public criticism for its high fees, which long allowed fund companies' stocks to outpace their funds' returns.
But the decline in fees is real. Kanon Bloch Carre, a mutual fund consulting firm in Boston, calculates that the average expense ratio paid by investors is down 16 percent over the last six years.
There are several explanations: Many investors have shifted assets to low-cost funds -- a byproduct, to a large degree, of their embrace of index funds. Corporate executives who negotiate terms for their companies' 401(k) plans have increasingly favored funds with lower fees. And new, low-cost competitors have joined the market.
Some industry analysts say fund companies will keep facing pressure to lower fees. After all, price competition is typical in maturing industries, as the battle for market share increases and growth slows.
But don't pity the fund companies. They
haven't lost their license to print money, with many fund companies seeing annual returns on equity that still top 25 percent.
You may have heard that fees are on the rise. For example, Morningstar Inc., the Chicago financial publisher, has reported that expenses on the average United States diversified stock fund rose last year to $1.44 for every $100 of assets, from $1.35 in 1993.
But such comparisons treat a $10 billion fund the same as a $10 million fund, and thus do not measure the average investor's costs. With new funds being rolled out at the rate of almost 10 a week for much of this decade -- some of them low-cost funds but most of them small, often esoteric funds charging higher-than-average expenses -- it should not be a surprise that unweighted average expense ratios rose.
By contrast, Kanon Bloch uses asset-weighting in its calculations, giving twice as much weight to a $100 million fund, for example, as to a $50 million one. On that basis, the average United States diversified stock fund now charges 77 cents in annual expenses for every $100 invested, down from 88 cents three years ago and 92 cents in 1993. Such stock funds constitute the lion's share -- 80 percent -- of stock mutual fund assets.
The calculations include only the share classes with the most assets or longest records -- usually the class A shares. But William Dougherty, president of Kanon Bloch, said the expense ratio of other share classes, which make up less than 20 percent of domestic diversified stock fund assets, have also been falling. Moreover, the firm's calculations do not include sales charges, or loads, which have also been in decline.
Mr. Dougherty acknowledged that Kanon Bloch's findings may seem surprising, but said the trend has been clear for years. He calculates that investors are saving $3.8 billion this year because of the decline in asset-weighted expense ratios.
SKEPTICS might say the industry's fees look lower under asset-weighting because of the frugality of the Vanguard Group, the index fund king. Vanguard, as a mutual company owned by its customers, does not have to make a profit for public shareholders. The total asset-weighted expense ratio for Vanguard's domestic diversified stock funds declined by one-fifth during the last six years, to 28 cents for every $100 invested, according to Kanon Bloch.
But it isn't just Vanguard. And it isn't just the Kanon Bloch figures. In a report this year, Scott Cooley, a Morningstar analyst, found that even excluding low-cost index funds and institutional shares, asset-weighted costs for investors have dropped by one-quarter since 1984 for load funds and by about 9 percent for no-load funds. He attributed much of the decline to investors' seeking out lower-cost fund families.
In fact, asset-weighted expenses have fallen at the four biggest fund families -- Fidelity Investments, Vanguard, American Funds and Putnam Investments, which, combined, have 43 percent of the total United States diversified stock fund assets. That decline has come in part because swelling assets have touched off break-point clauses in fund management agreements that call for lower fees. Fidelity, for example, charges a two-pronged management fee, one part of which declines as the company's total assets rise. That part of the fee was 0.2863 percent of assets in December 1998, down from 0.2942 percent the year before and 0.3243 percent at year-end 1993. The company has also given up a portion of its fees to some investors in recent years, because performance has not met targets.

That would be a pisser! We don't go there more than half a dozen times each year, but we like it for longer range shooting.
I heard a rumor from a credited source that they may close all recrestional shooting on the grassland lands. Hunting would still be allowed but no target shooting. Hope it was just someone stirring the pot but the source was a good one!!
Well considering that the DOW and Forest Service have already held meeting in the recent past regarding the banning or severe restrictions of target shooting in certain parts of the natinal forest lands I wouldn't be suprised if they are considering banning target shooting in the grasslands. Same government agencies administer those grasslands as they do the national forests.
I even recall the Forest Service closing a popular public range at Rampart because people were shooting up junk and leaving it there without cleaning up after themselves. Worst part was that the Forest Service waited until around the time hunters usually sight-in to close the facility for clean-up. I think it was something like September and October of one year.
Like I said, gun ownership and shooting activities are a big responsibility. It's in all our best interests to act accordingly and stop giving ammunition to those people who want nothing more and every excuse they can get to use that ammunition against us to infringe on our rights.
That really would be too bad, considering that there are not many accessible shooting ranges in the area. We often go out to shoot in the grasslands at long range, but we have our own spots. I know the area the OP was speaking of and it seems to get more trashed each year. We stopped going there to shoot several years ago. That was more for personal protection though as the level of firearms handling knowledge of the folks there seems pretty low. The last time we went we were talking to a guy about his brand new big bad handgun when he came about two inches from blowing his own head off by accidental discharge.
Shutting the area down to all recreational shooting feels remarkably like the same solution elementary through high school teachers use to deal with problem students: instead of working harder to deal with the problem students, a new rule is created to try to stop the situation from being an issue in the first place. The main issue I have with this kind of problem solving is that it really only punishes the people who were obeying the rules in the first place. It is sad that, as a society, we never outgrow bad behavior, and that our "solutions" to bad behavior don't improve either.
The reason that they would shut it all down is enforcement. They just don't have the man power to be out there enough to take care of the problem shooters. So they will shut it down completely, that way if they notice anyone out there shooting then they can take care of it.
It is a lot like poaching a elk or a deer. I would be willing to bet that the Fish and Game departments of all the states really see very many poachers in the act. They need our help in finding the offenders and reporting them to the management office. I personally have turned in people that I see headed into the hills with a appliance or piece of large furniture in the back of their truck. You just need to pay attention to where they go and what their license plate is along with a description of their truck and the person driving.
One of the biggest problems is that most people just don't want to get involved in reporting a problem.
So, one more article in the Denver Post. I think this was the guy that I mentioned above that actually stuck around to try to fix his mistake. It is interesting that the article mentions that he was cited for damaging government property but does not specifically mention being cited for damaging private property. This fire burned at least as much private land as government land. It is also my understanding that the fence surrounding Pawnee is actually private property, so the fence burning was more destruction of private property. Interesting.
and it was very very busy!! the good thing is it was actually really cleaned up and looked like everyone was doing a great job at picking up what the brought. Also their seems to be a ranger that patrols the grasslands now! We were out there for about 4 hours and he drove by us twice and made a point to talk to everyone that was out there shooting!

Glad to hear it. I think it's a good thing. If people want to shoot there then evenyone should pick up after themselves. Too bad that "big brother" has to be patroling, but that's their job, as long as everyone is being responsible then no worries. Besides, wardens are a great source if information and can be very helpful lot of times. Shooting ranges are not all that plentiful along the front range nor in the Denver area, plus the ranges we do have are either private members only or way over-priced and expensive public ranges with all kinds of restrictions. Maybe if the front range had more reasonably priced public shooting ranges it would be much easier to shoot at those.
I stopped frequenting one public range on a State Park south of Denver because the total cost to shoot just became too over the top for me. It used to be that shooters using the range didn't have to pay a park daily use fee. In fact Governor Owens sent out a letter stating that users of the range did not have to pay a park day use fee. Well about 6 month later (sometime in spring of '04) they made all users of that range pay an extra day use fee. It's now as of this month $22.50 total ($15.50 range fee + $7.00 day fee) just to shoot, plus an average 2hr wait on weekends, not to mension the cost of targets and your own ammo. I recall prior to 2004 only paying $10 a day to shoot there. Also recall at least 2 public ranges that have closed along the front range in the last few years. In other western states people don't pay nearly what we pay in Colorado to shoot at a range for a day. I'd rather pay an average of $10 in gas to drive to and from the grasslands to shoot.
I hunt Pawnee every other rifle season for Pronghorn. In doing so I've walked upon a number of hidden areas that seem to be regularly used by target shooters. In a couple areas there exists a few natural features that provide a perfect safe lane for shooting. Unfortunately they had been posted as closed by the USFS......yeah I've found the (long ago) pulled up posted signs laying several yards away face down. Every makeshift shooting area I come across on foot while hunting there seems to be littered, not too badly, but enough to prove negligence on the target shooters who use the area. It's very unfortunate. Paper and cardboard are unsightly, but they degrade and break down rather quick. Glass and metal objects.....they tend to remain and build up over time. My advise to those who target shoot at Pawnee.....be respectful and be safe. Pack out what you bring to shoot, including your hulls and brass. Just follow the rules, they're basic safety rules, it's a small sacrafice to do so, that we all be allowed to shoot for free witout some range officer peering over your shoulder. I'm personally am peeved having to pay inflated range fees and deal with extream crowding at my local ranges all because once good areas in the nearby National Forest are slowly being closed to target shooting.
I don't get it. Why is it so fun to blast a tv or computer out on the shooting range? I find it much more enjoyable to fill up plastic jugs with water and watch them explode. Very little scrap to retrieve also. Maybe at some of these HOT spots someone should put a barrel so people could pick up the spent cartridges they don't want and deposit them in it. I bet someone would be taking the brass home for reloading. I know everytime we go out there I pick up a bag full of brass for reloading. Then of course the idiots would shoot the crap out of the barrel or ?? is out there so that kind of scraps that idea. We used to have permission to practice on private land. We were told that there were to many of the offensive shooters (ones leaving trash) using the property so it was shut down to all. I don't blame the land owner but these jerks just keep moving on ruining it for us respectable shooters. They better not ever let me catch them. I have turned in moose pochers I wouldn't hesitate to call the law on these jerks.

At the heart of The Husband's Secret is a letter that's not meant to be read.
My darling Cecilia, if you're reading this, then I've died. . .
Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret—something with the potential to destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive...
Cecilia Fitzpatrick has achieved it all—she's an incredibly successful businesswoman, a pillar of her small community, and a devoted wife and mother. Her life is as orderly and spotless as her home. But that letter is about to change everything, and not just for her: Rachel and Tess barely know Cecilia—or each other—but they too are about to feel the earth-shattering repercussions of her husband's secret.

Completing the project
Pyle with West Valley City said many residents have waited 10 years for the capabilities of a fiber-optic network and that the Macquarie deal will make that service possible.
"I think this is the best proposal that I've seen so far, and the reason for that is just the depth of Macquarie's abilities to bring financial resources to bear and construction resources to bear," he said.
He said the monthly fee paid by residents would allow Macquarie to finalize construction of the network, linking tens of thousands of homes and businesses to UTOPIA, and secure basic internet service during the 30-year partnership.
West Valley City also added another incentive for residents this week, securing a partnership with Ooma, a California-based telecommunications company, to provide free home telephone service upon completion of the fiber-optic network.
"Between the Internet service, the telephone service and the utility fee, you literally will save hundreds of dollars per year if you were to pick that particular bundle of services," Pyle said.
Residents would continue to have the option of buying Internet and phone services from another provider, Pyle said, but would pay the monthly utility fee to their city whether or not they take part in UTOPIA.
"We want to provide open access to all private service providers and therefore all the competition," Pyle said.
Brian McBride said he switched to UTOPIA service immediately after moving to Murray a little over a year ago, and the fiber-optic network was one of the reasons he chose to live where he does.
He said the Internet service from UTOPIA has been "remarkable," free from the sporadic network crashes he experienced under a different provider and offering a greater value at a lower price.
"I'm actually paying less today than I was previously for my Internet service, and the speed is much, much faster than what I've experienced before," McBride said.
McBride said he supports moving forward with the Macquarie proposal, particularly so that city leaders and residents have all the information necessary to make a final decision on the 30-year agreement.
He said the potential for a monthly utility fee doesn't bother him, because he sees Internet connectivity as an increasingly essential service and the infrastructure of the future.
"I'm of the personal belief that the internet is becoming more utility-like each day and for me it's essential," he said.
Lindon resident Doug McKay, who has been a customer of UTOPIA "since the day it was available" roughly seven years ago, said he likes the idea of Internet being part of a city infrastructure. But he said he's undecided on the issue of requiring residents to pay for a service they don't use.
"I'm a little torn on that," he said. "Having a requirement to pay a fee for everybody seems a little interesting."
Other options
The 11 cities affiliated with UTOPIA have a number of options beyond the Macquarie proposal, including remaining with the current limited service of UTOPIA or to abandon the network entirely.
But Pyle said there are a number of challenges associated with scrapping the embattled fiber-optic network, including the loss of revenue from UTOPIA that offsets the debt cities are under obligation to repay.
"If we closed this down and walked away, all that revenue would go away and all that additional costs would be put on the shoulders of the city and, of course, the taxpayer," he said.

Phoenix Suns
Analyst: Alvin Gentry deserves credit for late-game lineups
With nine new faces on the roster heading into the 2012-2013 season, Suns head coach Alvin Gentry said he would not be afraid to go off of feel in late-game situations, rather than playing traditional rotations.
Through nine games, the veteran coach has more than kept his word.
In the Suns' 112-106 loss to the Chicago Bulls in overtime Wednesday night, Gentry relied on four players off his bench — Sebastian Telfair, P.J. Tucker, Shannon Brown and Markieff Morris– along with a combination of Marcin Gortat and Luis Scola down the stretch.
And while Phoenix's valiant comeback effort was thwarted in the extra period against Chicago, Gentry has not shied away from the unconventional.
In Monday night's win over the Nuggets, Gentry looked to a completely different set of players, as Michael Beasley, Goran Dragic, Jared Dudley and Markieff Morris paced the Suns to victory in the waning moments.
During their 4-5 start this season, the Suns have not closed out a fourth quarter with the same five-man unit in consecutive games.
It begs the question: can Gentry's mixing and matching be sustainable across an entire 82-game season?
"It's actually very sustainable, because it's upfront and honest," Suns radio analyst Tim Kempton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "It's visible, you can see it. What more do you want from him? He's not playing games with them, he's not talking behind their backs."
Although the Suns have received huge individual performances off the pine late in games this season — whether it be from Brown's three-point shooting, Tucker's energy on the glass or Telfair's ability to space the floor — Phoenix has still made a poignant effort to find a closer, but consistency has been lacking in that department.
As a former player, Kempton said Gentry should be respected by his team for the job he is doing in the fourth quarter of games, not vilified for it. Without a closing lineup set in stone, Phoenix's coach has chosen to give playing time based on merit and merit alone.
"From a player's standpoint, I would love [what Gentry's doing]," said Kempton. "Hey, if he's giving me a chance, all I have to do is bust my butt, and I am making my time.

Kosovo Chooses New Parliament as Economy and Serbia Weigh
Kosovo will hold a general election June 8 as the former Serbian province tries to lift an economy dependent on foreign aid and mend ties with its northern neighbor so both can accelerate European Union accession.
Serbs in Kosovo's north will vote for the first time since the mostly ethnic-Albanian state declared independence in 2008 after violence marred a ballot last year. Opposition to the creation of a national army by ethnic Serbs triggered the May dissolution of the previous parliament, which also suffered from disputes over the sale of state-owned telecommunications company Posta dhe Telekomunikacioni i Kosoves Sh.A.
With unemployment at 35 percent and output per capita at about a 10th of the EU average, according to Eurostat, Kosovo must attract foreign investment so it can wean itself off foreign aid. The biggest parties, including Prime Minister Hashim Thaci's Democratic Party of Kosovo, have pledged to invest to create 200,000 new jobs for the state of 1.8 million.
"Kosovo needs to improve its economy substantially in order to stand on its own feet," Zijad Becirovic, director of the International Institute for Middle East and Balkan Studies, a Ljubljana, Slovenia-based think-tank, said in a phone interview yesterday. "Otherwise, its independence may come into question as it relies mostly in the international community to stay afloat."
Serb Participation
The International Monetary Fund, which concluded a $141 million aid package in December, expects Kosovo to grow 4 percent this year, less than the 20 percent that Becirovic said was needed to meet the pledge to create 200,000 jobs.
There are no reliable political polls before the election, which pits Thaci against the opposition Democratic League of Kosovo led by former Pristina Mayor Isa Mustafa, the Self-Determination Movement led by Albin Kurti and the Alliance for Future of Kosovo, led by Ramush Haradinaj.
Serbia, which doesn't recognize Kosovo's independence, has been under EU pressure to convince Kosovo Serbs to participate in the elections, in line with a 2013 accord with its breakaway province. The implementation of the pact is key for Serbia to advance in its EU accession drive, which it started this year.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops went to war with Serbia in 1999, intervening in Slobodan Milosevic's repression of the ethnic-Albanian population, the final military conflict in the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Animosity and violence has marred relations between the two communities as recently as November local elections and has remained an obstacle to both states' EU accession aspirations.
Normalizing Ties
Since the secession of Kosovo, ranked by the World Bank as Europe's second-poorest country, it has wrangled with Serbia over property rights, power supply and trade issues, while Serbia has accused Kosovo of trying to oppress its compatriots in what many in the Balkan state consider to be the cradle of Serbian heritage.
Serbia's government urged all Serb voters in Kosovo to take part in the ballot. Serbs should strive to win as many seats as possible "for the sake of survival" of the embattled Serb community, Serbia's government said in an e-mail after a cabinet meeting in Belgrade yesterday.
Gradjanska Inicijativa Srpska, the biggest Serbian political group in Kosovo, urged its supporters to vote and win seats in parliament to prevent the government in Pristina from forming an ethnic-Albanian dominated army.
Along with a weak economy, Kosovo suffers from one of the highest levels of perceived corruption in Europe, according to 2013 rankings from anti-graft advocate Transparency International. It placed 111th out of 177 countries and territories, alongside Ethiopia and Tanzania. By comparison, Serbia was 72nd and Albania was 116th.
"The population expects the new government to create a more robust rule of law to better tackle corruption and crime and lay the foundations for a more prosperous Kosovo," Becirovic said. "They will also need to improve relations with neighbors to become more attractive to foreign investors."

The tonotopicity of the cat's primary auditory cortex (AI) is thought to provide the framework for frequency-specific processing in that field. This study was designed to assess this postulate by examining the spatial distribution of neurons within AI that are activated by a single tonal frequency delivered to the contralateral ear. Distributions obtained at each of several stimulus levels were then compared to assess the influence of stimulus amplitude on the spatial representation of a given stimulus frequency in AI. Data were obtained from 308 single units in AI of four adult, barbiturate-anesthetized cats, using extracellular recording methods. Stimuli were 40-ms tone pulses presented through calibrated, sealed stimulating systems. In each animal, the CF (stimulus frequency to which the unit is most sensitive), threshold at CF, response/level function at CF, and binaural interactions were determined for isolated neurons (usually one per track) in 60–90 electrode tracks. For each unit, regardless of its CF, responses to 40 repetitions of contralateral tones of a single frequency, presented at each of four or five sound pressure levels (SPLs) in the range from 10 to 80 dB were obtained. Different test frequencies were used in each of four cats (1.6, 8.0, 11.0, and 16.0 kHz). For tones of each SPL, we generated maps of the response rates across the cortical surface. These maps were then superimposed on the more traditional maps of threshold CF. All units whose CF was equal to the test frequency could be driven at some SPL, given an appropriate monaural or binaural configuration of the stimulus. There was a clear spatial segregation of neurons according to the shapes of their CF tone response/level functions. Patches of cortex, often occupying more than 2 mm2, seemed to contain only monotonic or only nonmonotonic units. In three cortices, a patch of nonmonotonic cells was bounded ventrally by a patch of monotonie cells, and in one of these cases, a second patch of monotonic cells was found dorsal to the nonmonotonic patch. Contralateral tones of any given SPL evoked excitatory responses in discontinuous cortical territories. At low SPLs (10, 20 dB), small foci of activity occurred along the isofrequency line representing the test frequency. Many of these cells had nonmonotonic response/level functions. At mid- and high SPLs, the CFs of neurons activated by a pure tone varied across 3 octaves. At the highest SPL used (80 dB), most of the neurons with nonmonotonic response/level functions were inactive, or responded poorly; the active neurons were widely spread across the cortex, and the distribution of activity had a pattern bearing little relationship to the threshold CF contour map. These data indicate that only isolated patches of units within the relevant isofrequency contour are activated by a given suprathreshold contralateral tone. At suprathreshold stimulus levels, the region of cortex containing active patches extends widely beyond the threshold isofrequency contour region corresponding to the test stimulus frequency. The spatial representation of a stimulus delivered to the contralateral ear appears, therefore, to be highly level dependent and discontinuous. These observations suggest that in the cat's AI, tonotopicity and isofrequency contours are abstractions which bear little resemblance to the spatial representation of tonal signals.

President Obama announced several executive actions last week that will grow our solar energy industry and reduce our energy waste, which will help to cut carbon pollution and create clean energy jobs. This comes on the heels of the National Climate Assessment, which painted a very sobering picture about the impacts that climate disruption is already having on communities all across our country. The President is using his authority to lead by example, because he
The National Climate Assessment was released earlier this week and it is a sobering reminder that climate change is happening and it is impacting communities all across our country. This report is a wakeup call for us to stand up and take action to combat the challenge of our generation, dangerous climate disruption. President Obama has already made clear this issue is a top priority by releasing his Climate Action Plan last June. That plan
The National Climate Assessment was released earlier this week--check out our previous post here--and many of our top allies in Congress recognized the urgent need to take action on climate change. Here is a list of some of their statements, Facebook posts, and tweets.
Senator Ed Markey: "Just as our best strategic analysts assess security risks to our country, the National Climate Assessment brings together our best scientists to understand the
April has brought two major victories in the courts for public health. This week, the Supreme Court upheld the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which will reduce harmful air pollution that blows across state lines. Also, a federal appeals court earlier this month upheld the EPA's landmark Mercury and Air Toxics Standard for power plants. These court decisions reinforce that the EPA has the authority—and is doing its job—under the Clean Air
California is currently facing one of the worst droughts in its history, which is leading to a shortage in water for consumers, farmers, and wildlife. This is a serious problem, and with the rainy season coming to a close there's no sign that the situation will improve anytime soon. Scientists have long projected that California and the rest of the Southwest would face these kinds of harsh droughts more frequently because of man-made climate change,
NextGen Climate founder Tom Steyer evidently struck a nerve the other day, when he sought to distinguish himself from the Koch Brothers by pointing out that Charles and David Koch's priorities "line up perfectly with their pocketbooks — and that's not true for us."
The Koch Brothers' spokesman responded that Steyer's characterization was "false and disingenuous" because "Koch opposes all mandates and subsidies, even when they exist for businesses in which we operate." It's a
Yesterday, Representative John Sarbanes held a press conference where he highlighted his bill, the Government by the People Act, which will help to "empower millions of everyday Americans to take back their government from big money special interests." LCV's Legislative Director Sara Chieffo spoke out in support of the bill, stating "The Government by the People Act seeks to re-establish what our Founders intended—a government that answers to the people, not the super wealthy few."
Every year, we spend Earth Day honoring our planet. So what better way to celebrate this special day than to double down on our efforts to tackle the climate crisis? Across the country, we are already seeing the impacts of climate disruption with more extreme weather including stronger storms, more intense wildfires, longer droughts and record breaking heat waves. One thing is clear, we need to act now to protect our planet for future generations,

HBO // 2007 // 94 Minutes // Not Rated
Reviewed by Judge Daniel MacDonald (Retired) // February 28th, 2008
Imagine the gods of history looking down on us all, after our abysmal failures at protecting millions of innocent human lives from their own governments -- failures of the first order. And imagine them saying to us, "We'll give you another chance. But this time, so as to be sure you get it right, we'll do it in slow motion, and we'll call it Darfur."
The ongoing genocide in Darfur is an important issue for many enlightened celebrities these days, with stars such as George Clooney (Michael Clayton), Matt Damon (The Bourne Ultimatum), Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby), and Steven Spielberg (War of the Worlds) using their clout to bring attention to the 2.5 million displaced citizens. But what can be hard to explain in a sound bite is that this large-scale tragedy that continues to unfold is the product of key events taking place in Sudan over the past fifty years, and the new HBO documentary Sand and Sorrow does well to educate viewers on what happened, and why we need to act.
Writer/director Paul Freedman (Time Machine: Rwanda -- Do Scars Ever Fade?) pulls no punches in illustrating just how desperate and horrible the situation is in some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps, bluntly presenting images of dead bodies and crying children within the first five minutes. It's shocking and affecting, but that's the point. "This is what we are talking about," the photography screams. "This is real and it is happening right now." It's impossible not to sit up and take notice.
Sand and Sorrow quickly moves from its brief survey of current atrocities to an engaging and well-considered history lesson. As narrated by Clooney, we learn about the internal divisions within Sudan that developed after the country became independent of Britain, the civil war that followed, and how that led to state-sponsored killings of non-Arab people of Darfur. Maps and charts help make the dense information much more easily digestible than it otherwise would be.
Making the issue more accessible, Sand and Sorrow follows a few individuals who are working to end this series of atrocities. Through the actions and commentary of Harvard professor Samantha Power, human rights activist John Prendergast, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, and high school students Hannah and Riley MacDonald, a comprehensive picture develops of what is being done, why it is or isn't working, and what more must happen to save the people of Darfur.
Sand and Sorrow is a harrowing and provocative film, spurring an array of emotions throughout its 94-minute running time: anger, sorrow, confusion, inspiration, desperation, and even hope. While the rhetoric is dire, Sand and Sorrow doesn't exist solely to depress or guilt the audience -- its intention is to encourage further investigation, and most importantly, action. In what I found to be the most profoundly moving element of the picture, members of Human Rights Watch, while interviewing IDPs, give their children crayons and paper on which to draw. The images they get back -- of bombings, bloody murder, dismemberment, and destruction -- reveal so much about the everyday pain and horror in the lives of these kids.
While the current United States government is certainly taken to task for conspicuously using the word "genocide" to describe the Darfur conflict seemingly to mask a lack of real action, Sand and Sorrow is not targeting any particular political stripe, with the exception of the Sudanese government itself. The aid that has been provided by the United States, Britain, and Rwanda is discussed and praised, but is also dissected for its shortcomings in providing a real solution. North American media is found to be apathetic in the face of this human disaster, since it devoted ten times more coverage to Martha Stewart's trial than to Darfur in 2006.
Although released in non-anamorphic widescreen, the video quality of Sand and Sorrow is surprisingly good. Some of the older footage suffers from predictable distortion, graininess, and lack of detail, but the contemporary video is clean, free of artifacts, and has good color accuracy. Some edge enhancement and haloing is present but not distracting. The two-channel stereo sound is serviceable, with speech coming across clear and well-balanced.
This is a very well-done documentary. Simplified enough to be comprehensible in an hour and a half, yet with more than enough detail to grasp just how difficult a situation this is to solve, Sand and Sorrow is a valuable and important piece of work.
Not guilty; I highly recommend this one.

There are many instances where we need to mount an ISO file to access its contents before burning it onto a CD/DVD. Many of us use the popular Virtual CloneDrive and DAEMON Tools Lite software for this job in Windows 7. But in Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, you don't need to install these software as the latest Windows supports ISO mounting as well.
In Windows 7, Microsoft added the support to burn ISO files without using third-party burning software. With Windows 8, Microsoft added the ability to mount ISO files with a click and feature is available in Windows 10 as well. With this feature, one can mount an ISO file without the help of third-party tools.
As said before, in Windows 10/8.1, an ISO image file can be mounted just with a click. Right-click on an ISO file and then select Mount option to see a new optical drive in This PC (My Computer). One can mount multiple ISO files without any problems.
Mount and unmount an ISO file in Windows 10/8.1
Step 1: Navigate to the location where you have saved the ISO file.
Step 2: Right-click on the ISO file and then select Mount option mount it.
Step 3: You should now see a new virtual drive under Devices with removable storage section in Computer. Double-click on the new virtual drive to access ISO file contents.
Step 4: To unmount, right-click on the virtual drive in Computer and then select Eject option.
NOTE: This feature is not available in Windows 7. Refer our how to mount ISO image files in Windows 7 guide to know more.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have personally experienced the results of this organization in seeing the difference it makes in the life of each child I interact with. When a case is successfully completed, I know that it is the GAL that is able to make the difference.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would allow this organization to do fundraising for all the children in Southern Florida, instead of just the limited area of Miami-Dade. They have a great work ethic and so much for the funds raised go directly back to the children.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
I've enjoyed the interaction with the children. It has been really rewarding to donate to an organization with such a good cause, helping our community's most vulnerable children
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Wonderful! Everyone is so passionate and dedicated to these kids. Voices truly makes each experience better than the next. I especially had fun wrapping gifts during the Holiday Toy Drive, and am glad I was able to donate to the kids.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
provide representation for all children in Miami-Dade and expand it's children's needs. They provide back-packs and supplies for kids going back to school, but could truly expand that program to give additional essential items.
Ways to make it better...
Voices was able to afford to have more staff members. They do such a wonderful job with the staff that they have, but would be able to do so much more for the community with greater/recurring donations.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Funding. All organizations seem to be having difficultly, but Voices is one of those that has always had a really low operating budget, because they give back to the kids so much. I would encourage all to donate to this organization to help the children.
One thing I'd also say is that...
As a volunteer for over 17 years, I've enjoyed my experience very much. I look forward to 17 more rewarding years working with Voices For Children.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

From the command prompt, how can I get the friendly display name (that is, "John Doe" instead of "john.doe") of the domain user that is currently logged in?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Here is a tricky way that I did it using the net command and the find command in a batch file:
The first line stores the command that we want to execute in a variable. It pulls the username from the environment variables and passes that into the
Here's a derivative of skeletank's response that's slightly cleaner that worked for me... (I tried skeletank's response and it didn't work for me the way it was written, thus my answer below.)
Then you can use 'DNAME' anywhere you need like to ouput with an echo or validate with an 'IF' statement. You can flip the '%%B' and '%%A' tokens around to go back to last name first layout. This saves the additional effort used in skeletank's original response.
-Thanks skeletank.
This should be a clean way using dsquery and dsget without relying on the output of "Full Name", which is language dependent, whereas "fn" seems to work with different language versions of windows.
The dsget -L switch gives the listed output "fn: USER" so the only thing left is to grab the second column in the output. find "fn:" is used to get rid of the "dsget succeeded" output.
The accepted answer (at time of posting) has 4 lines of code, when you only need one to do the same thing:
This will work even if the Full Name has more than 2 parts. Works on Windows workstations "out of the box" and does not require admin rights.

To Do List[edit]
Hello, I've written the majority of the content in this article, and sadly it's not quite what it could be. In the next few weeks I'll have the time to flesh it out more. If you want to help improve the article that's awesome! Go ahead. If you're not sure where to start I've decided to make a todo list of some important things the article needs.TheAltarbo (talk) 05:33, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
The article is lacking images in a few important places:
- no main image at the start
- no fourth gen console
- no image for hu cards or online
It's bards for me to see my own mistakes, so if you see them feel freed to fix them.
I've begun adding small recap tables at the end of each console generation. I think this is far more readable than having literally a hundred dates over he course of a few paragraphs. I you want to create some of these tables , use the bird generation as a template. Each console should link to its main article and they should be listed bro illogically in order of release.
ImmediAtely before or after the media section, there should be an input section done in the same format. There's no need to list all video game controllers ever, but it needs sections for:
- paddles
- joysticks
- game pads
- light guns
- motion control
Some kind of merge needed?[edit]
I came across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_games. It seems, at least from the 3rd Generation, it is just another iteration of what is posted here. Always rough to edit one for a while, then find out there's another place with similar info... and both seem to be linked in quite a few places. Seems that page is rather excessively long, and this one need a little more filling out. I have no history with merging and such, but it would seem everyone would be benefited with some kind of merging\upgrading organization between these two articles? JeopardyTempest (talk) 09:02, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- Are you suggesting merge Video game console with History of video games? If so, I'm not sure that's going to fly. That's a pretty big action you'll need to have some group input over (more than just a couple of other editors). Maybe take the question over to the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Video games if you don't get any discussion here. BcRIPster (talk) 16:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Orphaned references in Video game console[edit]
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Video game console's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "gamepro2":
- From History of video game consoles (fifth generation): Blake Snow (2007-05-04). "The 10 Worst-Selling Consoles of All Time". GamePro.com. p. 2. Archived from the original on 2008-09-05. Retrieved 2007-11-25.
- From History of video game consoles (fourth generation): Blake Snow (2007-07-30). "The 10 Worst-Selling Consoles of All Time". GamePro. p. 2. Archived from the original on 2007-05-08. Retrieved 2008-10-25.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:20, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Why are home consoles and handheld consoles synced by generation?[edit]
If handheld consoles are going to be integrated into the article why not organize the entry: 1. Home Consoles
1.1 Generations
2. Handheld Consoles
2.1 Generations
3. Media 4. Etc.
In reality generations are determined by market forces. The Intellivision was produced during the entire run of the NES in North America, but no one recognizes the INTV as being the NES's competition. Likewise, Coleco attempted to start the generation that the NES did start, but because they continued to compete against the Atari 2600 and died when the 2600 brought the market down around it: Colecovision is also not considered to be in the same generation as NES.
On the handheld console front: Nintendo attempted to sync their Gamecube and Gameboy Advance systems, but before that handheld consoles did not sync up with home console generations. The Gameboy arrived during the NES heyday and continued to thrive along side the SNES. The Atari Lynx, the gameboy's initial competitor, also straddled generations. The Gameboy Color and NGPC had a brief window of life before the Gameboy Advance started the next generation. Attempting to fit this story into generational slots makes it impossible to understand by reading the article.
I don't want to discourage anyone. All the stuff on handheld consoles is valuable information. As it is now though: this is a lot valuable info sliced up and left in a heap. Or maybe eight separate heaps. All of the language in the article still tells the story of home consoles. By weaving the handheld consoles into it, a very haphazard quilt is formed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) 06:02, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Sales question[edit]
Game console bundles shipped worldwide in 2012 was about 33 million - does that mean that there were about 33 million game consoles sold in the world in 2012? Or "Game console bundles" may include packages of games, without consoles included? By game bundle, many people mean game plus console, and there can be a number of these available too. - [1] — Ark25 (talk) 14:16, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Is the Game Boy handheld console from the Third Generation or Fourth Generation?[edit]
Game Boy is mentioned in both sections, it's not very clear which generation it belongs to. Perhaps the handheld consoles in general did not follow the generations used for larger video game consoles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
no mention about the PSX sony console, DVR released in 2003?[edit]

I am using the CallableStatement Class in Websphere java application to make a call to a native SQL procedure. But when the application is deployed an run ,I get an sqlcode of -302 SqlDataException: DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-302, SQLSTATE=22001, SQLERRMC=3,
I have cross checked the parameters of the SQL SP as well as the java code. They seem to be right. Java coe snippet
protected CallableStatement cs = null;
/* Establishes connection to the DB2 datasource */ dbAgent.connectToDataSource(AEUtils.getDataSource());
/* prepares the SP call statement */
cs = dbAgent.createCallStatement (DB2StoredProcedure, this.NSPparameterCount);
cs.setString("PA_INSERT_IN", "Y");
This cs.setString("PA_INSERT_IN", "Y"); statement throws a -302. However when I invoke the same SP via., a stanalone java program it works. Am I missing something here ? (note that dbAgent is an object of a helper class developed inhouse)

I want to make a moon rotating around a planet, or something along that analogy. So is there something I can call for
physics.setGravity(0,0) that changes the position that the gravity pulls towards, particularly assigning that to be a physics body? If not, simply a specific x-y coordinate will be fine.
local moon = display.newImage ("moon.png")
physics.addBody(moon, {bounce=0, density=1.0})
local earth = display.newImage ("earth.png")

Best Uses
I really liked this bag for a while. I was hoping it would last and develop character with age. Age has just brought out the imported quality of this bag I am afraid. The seems are coming apart at typical wear points which are not re-enforced and the leather is peeling. Instead of aging gracefully this bag is starting to look disheveled and frumpy. I am going to attempt to return under Duluth's "NO BULL" warranty. We will see how that goes. I have never had issues with Duluth's products before and I was sad this bag wasn't up to par. Would be willing to pay more for quality like many of Duluth's customers.
Best Uses
Received this as a gift from my family when I passed the bar. It is a big bag that holds a great deal of files etc. The only down side is that the soft leather scratches very easily. They warn you about this on the label and say it adds to the patina over time. Which is probably true, but in the meantime your bag has a scratch from everything it comes into contact with.
Best Uses
The best briefcase I have ever owned. Great appearance, with rugged style.
Best Uses
I had another leather briefcase for nearly 10 years that was leather and saddle bag style. It would flop over; of course, it's been stuffed full over the years. The Bashful Billionaire stands upright even when or empty. I like the rugged laptop case inside and the pockets on it. I like the additional canvas pockets inside and leather pockets outside. The only con, if you could call it that, is I haven't quite figured out where to put the power cord; all other cords fit well in the leather pockets.
Best Uses
The only reason this is a 1 star Is that this is the second bag I have returned due to both the front clips pilling out and the shoulder strap clip breaking. I was able to fix the clip by replacing with brass bridle clip and Chicago screw. There is no way to fix the front closure clips that pull out. Saddle leather is beautiful and wears well. Customer support is outstanding. Have the vendor source a higher quality and more expensive hardware set, pass on the cost of $5-$10 to me the customer. This bag does not represent the quality product that the Duluth Trading Company stands for.

Men in Love (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
An extraordinary, explicitly masculine journey, "Men In Love"develops a startlingly honest portrayal of what it means to be a man in contemporary America. Here are the unexpurgated dreams, fantasies and fetishes that excite and obsess men today. In creating this historic study, Nancy Friday listened--without disapproval, apology or censorship--to the candid responses of thousands of men aged fourteen through sixty. She gave them a legitimate arena where they could share their "secret gardens"--the hidden and forbidden but nonetheless real and true. Much more than a litany of erotica, this unique volume doesn't tell us how men should love. It tells us how men do love--a stunning insight into the desires that dwell within men's psyches... and their hearts.
About the Author
Nancy Friday is the bestselling author of "My Secret Garden, Jealousy, Men in Love, My Mother/My Self, Women on Top, The Power of Beauty" and, most recently, "Our Looks, Our Lives." She lives in Key West, Florida, and in Connecticut.

Former art-student Yara Flinn specializes in knockout day-to-evening wear with a subtly sexy sculpted look. The burgeoning Brooklyn-based label — named for a water nymph from Greek mythology — started as an experiment, but quickly morphed into a line to look out for after garnering serious critical praise. Signature cutouts punch up feminine silhouettes for a look that's subversive and sweet all at once.
Talk about making the cut. Former art student Yara Flinn started this Brooklyn-based label as an experiment, but the line quickly garnered attention from serious fashion critics. Surprising cutouts reveal a sexy sliver of skin where you least expect it in this collection of tops and dresses. These aren't your average pair of skinny pants, either, thanks to strategically placed peeks of lace.
No wardrobe staple is quite as beloved as the little black dress, and you'll find a whole host of them here. These LBDs run the style gamut, from Risto's asymmetrical and puff-skirt frocks to Nomia's one-shoulder and zip-front dresses. Cashmere cocoon vests, boleros and ruffle-hem tops also make an appearance.
Big deals on big names: Save on this illustrious selection that runs the high-fashion gamut. Check out standouts like casual threads in luxe fabrics—like Geren Ford's silk shifts and jumpsuits—and sleek cocktail dresses in jewel tones from Tocca and Laila Azhar.


text: Praxair Praxair ( PX) is showing us a similar setup right now, just with a different lead-up. Shares of the $31 billion industrial gas supplier have been in a downtrend since late April, when the stock topped out and dropped hard. But the ascending triangle setup that's been shaping up looks like a bottom for PX and a buying opportunity for traders. >>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now Like the setup with ENB, Praxair's ascending triangle has a horizontal resistance level and uptrending support. Resistance comes in at $109 -- that's the price we'll want to see a breakout above before a buy signal comes through for PX. It's important to look at any technical pattern in real world terms; while calling this pattern a triangle is a good way of describing how it looks on a chart, the shape doesn't have a whole lot more significance than that. Instead, it's valuable to think of this setup in terms of buyers and sellers. Basically, resistance is a price level where there's a glut of selling pressure. Historically, that $109 resistance line has been a price above which sellers are more eager to sell and get out of this stock than buyers were to buy. Even so, the uptrending support level does tell us that buyers are in control of PX at some level. When buyers build up enough steam to absorb all of those asks floating up around $109, the breakout happens and it makes sense to be a buyer. Until then, it doesn't. Prev 2 of 6 Next

The major retirement problem is this government. Savings of a lifetime are disappering as the dollar is becoming worthless. Inflation is not reported properly and interest rates are being held at artifical levels. There is no hope. Save us from the big taxer who wants everthing you have left.
