Do you believe in the 'American Dream'?
The documentary "Dream On" will be screened at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, at the Macon County Public Library in Franklin.
In an epic road trip, political comedian John Fugelsang retraces the journey of Alexis de Tocqueville, whose study of our young country in 1831 came to define America as a place where anyone could climb the ladder of economic opportunity. Following in the Frenchman's footsteps, Fugelsang speaks with fast-food workers and retirees, prisoners and entrepreneurs, undocumented immigrants and community organizers about their hopes, dreams, and daily struggles.
The film explores whether the optimistic spirit of the American Dream that Tocqueville observed is alive and well in the twenty-first century, or whether George Carlin was right when he famously quipped "It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

Denis Campbell: Ironic that Egypt's pro-democracy demonstrators fought and freed a nation from a brutal dictator in 18 Days, yet in just 1 less day's length 3,400 people in Camp Ashraf may be condemned to die in the middle of the Iraqi desert because of apathy and inaction.
Occupy Movement at the Crossroads
Randy Shaw: Successful movements must be flexible enough to change tactics in the face of roadblocks, and activists' camping in public spaces is not strategically necessary for the Occupy movement's success.
We Are All the 99%
Denis Campbell: As the Occupy Wall Street movement enters its fourth week, on Saturday the New York and Washington base camp plazas were so overfilled they resembled Tahrir Square, Cairo.
What Now for the Unraptured?
Tom Hall: How perfect can heaven be, with 200 million new souls crowding into a facility designed by He who designed a world with shifting tectonic plates, ozone holes and republicans?
Apocalypse September!
Walter Brasch: It's probably just a coincidence, but 1988 was also the same year that George Bush, whom Sadaam Hussein called The Great Satan, was elected president.
Haiti: Testimony From Camp Corail as Cholera Looms
Georgianne Nienaber: On Monday, the Haitian Ministry of Population (MSPP) released new figures indicating at least 8,138 cholera patients and 544 deaths in five regions or "departments."
Time to Rebrand Haiti's Tent Cities as Tomas Approaches
Georgianne Nienaber: Haiti's Potemkin village, the Camp Corail-Cesselesse relocation camp, is not safe. With the approach of Tomas, which is morphing daily from tropical storm to hurricane and back again, Haitian officials are urging the 7,850 residents of its flagship camp to evacuate and "find different locations."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jennifer Nettles has finished the music, chosen a cover photo and now she has a release date for her debut solo album: Jan. 14.
Nettles revealed the date in a recent interview.
Expect to see a different side of the 39-year-old singer as she reveals her new music.
They're the first without her Sugarland partner Kristian Bush. The Grammy Award-winning duo is on hiatus.
"I think this album so far for me musically has been the most intimate and personal ... musically and vocally," Nettles said.
"I think it's way more intimate to me and way more personal in the sense that when you collaborate, that's the nature of collaboration, you're affecting each other, and playing with and inspiring each other, and yet there are things that one may not get to do or want to do when collaborating."
The week will mark Nettles' first real return to the spotlight since the birth of her son, Magnus, 11 months ago.
Motherhood and marriage have changed Nettles, and she says that will be reflected on "That Girl."
"I'm able to show a side that I think's more womanly," Nettles said. "I think it's more mature, and so that's big for me. I think it gives you perspective all around, not just musically but also in my career. I think you get superefficient because you have to be.
"You don't worry about things that were superimportant before because you have a baby and you just burn that underbrush out. You feel like a huntress."

My fabulous friend Barb reminded me today about my Christmas shopping trip when I was in search of an item that my mom wanted for Christmas. I was basically in tears, hysterically laughing as I ran down the description to see if she could guess what I was describing. I don't think two people ever laughed so hard. Thank goodness for waterproof mascara!
I'm going to give you the run down of the phone call with my mom and I'd love for you to guess what I am describing:
Me: Mom, what do you want for Christmas?
My mom: I want "X" but I like it to have certain things.
Me: What do you mean? How can "X" have certain things?
My mom: Well I like flared sleeves.
Me: Flared sleeves? For "X"? Ok…
My mom: I'd like it to be A-line, but if it's not I need a bigger size.
Me (laughing): Ok wait, I need to write this down. Who knew that "X" would have specifications mom?
My mom: And a peter pan collar.
Me: A what?
My mom: A peter pan collar. I really like flounce too.
Me: Mom, now you are getting ridiculous! What the heck is flounce!?
My mom: It's at the bottom of "X." I like flounce at the bottom, about an inch or two of flounce.
Me: Ok, I guess we'll see if I can find what you're looking for.
And let me tell you, I had to call my mom from my cell phone in the middle of Sears Women's department because I had no clue what a peter pan collar looked like and I couldn't find this particular item with flared sleeves. Barb and I were laughing so hard that people were staring. And don't you know that when my mom opened her gift on Christmas, she informed me that there wasn't enough flounce. Damn the flounce! haha.
So can you guess what it is my mother was describing?

Shannon darling! I am going to guess a bathrobe or some sort of housecoat item.
Peter Pan collars remind me of my grade school uniform, so this gave me a good laugh!
Oh, Shannon! I had such a fun time that day shopping…and bringing Baby Brody with me to get my haircut! I guess you should have gotten your mom the ugliest "X" after all! Not enough flounce. Oh, the humanity!
Yes, my guess was housecoat as well. Sounds like a fan of Doris Day!
But I am surprised only 1 other guess…
Shannon Nelson
Close but no cigar!
Nerd Girl
A nightgown?
Shannon Nelson
Ahh Nerd Girl, yes–she wanted a flannel nightgown. 🙂
Crazy old people and their flounce and peter pan collars.
Shannon — I'm not that old, but I knew exactly what she wanted! I adore flouncy and frilly and girly nighties… Is anyone else here old enough to remember Lanz of Salzburg flannel nightgowns??? They were all the rage when I was growing up — including mother/daughter combinations!
I did some Googling: Lanz nighties are still for sale. Macy's carries them (and their sister stores). It's not part of the Eileen West Collection — Eileen West are some of my FAVORITE sleepwear — lacey, pretty, flouncy — yes, FLOUNCY! (no collars for me, though!) I especially love the sleeveless, even spaghetti strapped, long flanel nightgowns — perfect for a Phoenix winter! LOL!
that should be "now" — not "not" — Lanz is NOW a part of the Eileen West line…

Gross: Mayfly Cloud So Huge It's Caught On Radar
Gregory White
Jun. 4, 2010, 5:48 PM
Right now, a massive cloud of hatching mayflies are hanging over the La Crosse region of Wisconsin. You can see it in bright pink, purple, and white on the map.
From NOAA:
And here's what they look like, from Wikipedia:
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Fish's paradise!
I was gonna say-the fish be bitin'!
How do they taste?
Lemme pack my 5 wgt and I'll head on up!
Going to be some very fat trout there this year. LOL
Gorebull Warming is advancing so rapidly that mayflies have evolved into juneflies! Uhhhh...wait....
Them mayflies go great... as a sprinkle on my Soylent Green!
Get the plows ready and drive carefully. Those suckers aren't fun to drive on.
Go to DefCom 3!!
I mean DefCon 3
Like chicken.
I've been in a mayfly hatch so dense I couldn't see the shore of the lake. They were climbing in my nose and ears and up my shorts.
The trout wouldn't bite a fly; they were stuffed.
what are they attracted to? Do they like wine?
Went through Oklahoma on my way home to NH from CA.
I thought that it was raining: wasn't, just lots of bugs.
Hopefully they'll eventually wash off the truck...
Seems to be an ongoing thing.
Until they get sick of them. I was at a lock at a dam a few years ago and there were so many of them on the walls and the ground that you couldn't help from stepping on them.
What are those bugs in Florida? Noseeums?
Better than the 7-year cicada plaques that hit every so often.
Wow - must be some happy trout right there.
There was a lady-bug infestation in England last year. The ground was covered in them....like walking on cherios..crunch crunch.
Worse than the 17 year locusts (cicadas) in the NE in 2004.
How do they taste?
Like spotted owl.
I drove though one between MN and WI 30 years ago.
What a mess!
Do you mean love bugs?
I believe noseums are smaller - more like sand gnats.
I remember sliding into a car with my bicycle because the road was so slick with them.
They only last a couple days.
Funny you should bring up locks. I'm sitting here contemplating going to the Carlyle Lake Spillway over in Illinois tonight..
Yeah! Maybe love bugs.
Break those fly rods out! We used to wait for a May Fly hatch when I was young, don't fish much any more but back in the day I did.
Try driving through Houston to New Orleans when the "Love Bugs" are out. Ok, OK, I know we call em something else, but this is a family program.
May you catch some fat trouts to eat. Tell your wife to clean them while you get the grill going:):) And you'll get the cole slaw and butter and sour cream for the baked potatoes. And Lowry's Seasoned Salt. That is mandatory. For making your wife clean the fish, you must go out and buy the beer, soft drinks and coal. And anything else she tells you to buy.
Actually, I was thinking catching some bluegill and fishing on the bottom for catfish!
Could be a bug in the system
Bluegill and catfish are fine bbq'd. Catch a great big catfish and then tell your wife to clean it! Double the supplies you went out to buy. And dig a hole to put the remains in like the Indians did for fertilizer. They weren't dummies.
No, they just land on the shady side of things and sit there. You can pick them up by grabbing their wings. You can set them down and they don't try to fly away. They are the most passive critters going. They'd make great pets if they lived more than a couple days.
See the pic at the top of the page. The main body is an inch or so long and the tail part is another inch.
I remember riding my bike on them as a kid. Crunchy and slippery.
Those critters in pic #38 are too small. Maybe midges.
I hope they don't come here.
Wow. The four horsemen are saddling up.
They are indeed midges. I know this is a mayfly thread, but it reminded me of this story:
I always got a kick out of the fact that even insects hate the Yankees....
Here at the University of Chicago, the Midway is lined with a particular kind of tree that has very plain little 1/4" blossoms. They smell a little like Juicy Fruit gum. One late afternoon/early evening, when the air was very still, I looked back over the Midway and saw that each tree had hovering above it a shifting tornado shape of minute swarming insects. They must have been attracted to the odor from those blossoms and concentrated over the trees where the odor was strongest in a sort of chemotaxis. It was almost science-fictiony weird in appearance.
Check this out girl!
Noseeum (Ceratopogonidae)?
Go Yankee-hating midges!
Sometimes they get in huge swarms over one spot (sometimes trees as someone mentioned) and their buzzing wings all together are really loud. Probably getting ready to go to a ball game.
It's Bush's fault.

text: Austin City Limits Fest ACL Smoking Ban May Be Loosely Enforced By Nathan Bernier • Sep 15, 2011 Photo by Sean Murphy The city really, really doesn't want you to smoke if you plan to attend the Austin City Limits music festival. Austin Parks and Recreation director Sara Hensley even said "please" during a news conference this morning. But there will be no parks rangers at the festival, and ACL organizers' private security guards may not be actively hunting down those who do light up. "We're not going after the smokers," Austin Parks and Recreation spokesman Victor Ovalle clarified on the telephone this afternoon. "We're asking them to please help comply with the smoking and the fire ban in the park." "We're really not trying to ruin anyone's experience," he said. Because the smoking ban in parks is not a city ordinance, people can't be fined for lighting up. But they can be asked to leave the park. If the smoker refuses, he or she could be issued a criminal trespass notice and be banned from city parks for a year. No Smoking at ACL Fest This Year By Nathan Bernier • Sep 12, 2011 Photo by karlnorling http://www.flickr.com/photos/karlnorling/ ACL festival goers who like to enjoy live music with some drinks and cigarettes will have to leave their smokes at home this weekend. Smoking is banned in all city parks because of the drought, and that includes Zilker Park during Austin City Limits. "There's a high propensity for fire if there's any kind of spark out there," City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) spokesman Victor Ovalle told KUT News. "It's critical that we continue this ban of smoking and the use of grills in our parks." ACL After Shows Announced By Nathan Bernier • Jul 26, 2011 Photo by Leah Miller http://www.flickr.com/photos/leahmiller/ You want to take in some of the artists in town for Austin City Limits Music Festival but don't want to sweat it out in Zilker Park? The ACL after shows let you watch musicians perform from the comfort of a downtown night club without the inflated drink prices. Here's the list of official after shows, released this morning by ACL. ACL's Summer Tapings To Include Arcade Fire, Randy Newman By Nathan Bernier • Jun 22, 2011 Austin City Limits announced today that is has scheduled six tapings over August and September at the Moody Theater on Second St. In a post on its blog, ACL released these dates: Austin City Limits Music Festival Announces Line-up By Nathan Bernier • May 17, 2011 Photo by Whittlz http://www.flickr.com/photos/whittlz/ Austin City Limits released the bands that will be performing at the tenth edition of the outdoor festival, which will come in September this year rather than October. Updated at 2:57 pm: Friday and Saturday one-day tickets are already sold out after going on sale at 10 am today. Three day passes sold out earlier this month. Top Morning Stories May 17, 2011 By Crystal Chavez, KUT News • May 17, 2011 Photo by KUT News. 2011 ACL Lineup Released This year's ACL lineup is out, and it's causing a stir. Stevie Wonder, Kanye West, Arcade Fire and Coldplay are headlining the 10th annual Austin City Limits Music Festival. My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, Alison Krauss & Union Station, and Cee Lo will also grace the stages of the three day music fest. Tickets Go On Sale Today For New Austin City Limits Venue By Nathan Bernier • Nov 26, 2010 Photo courtesy Austin City Limits Live ACL Live, the new Austin City Limits TV studio and music venue in downtown Austin, launched its new website and show calendar a week ago. Tickets are on sale today at noon for that initial round of concerts.

From: mdquerng ------------------------------------------------------ Hi all Short story: I have a customer that was hit two days ago with a new variant of the Locky crypto ransomware called Zepto. Unfortunately this customer has been more than a little lax with respect to their backup strategies and they have a large number of business critical files on two servers that appear to be unrecoverable. The customer is to the point where they are willing to take the chance and try and pay the ransom. The issue is that they have never used Bitcoin and have no real way to get their hands on the 4 BTC needed in a timely manner due to restrictions on the amount that can be purchased via the various Bitcoin exchanges and how long it will take to receive the purchased Bitcoins.

Anthony Weiner Is the New Democratic Frontrunner for Mayor
In late April, the polling team at Marist released a survey titled "Weiner Candidacy for Mayor Could Scramble Democratic Primary Contest." it projected major percentage points of approval for the former congressman, should he decide to step into the fray. A few weeks later, he did. And, nearly two months after that original sampling, its title has validated itself: according to the newest WSJ-NBC New York-Marist poll, Anthony Weiner is now the leading Democratic candidate for mayor in New York City.
Last night, the results came in: leading at 25 percent is Weiner--a rating City Council Speaker Christine Quinn had for months. Quinn, the assumed frontrunner, clocks in at 20 percent of the vote, edging 7 percent ahead of bronze medalist (and UFT favorite) Bill Thompson at 13 percent. Behind them, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio is at 10 percent and Comptroller John Liu remains stalled at 8 percent.
Mathematically, that leaves us with a quarter of Democrats who still have no idea who the hell they want in City Hall. And, as we know, never discount the undecided voter.
It didn't take Weiner long to rise in the polls, nearing Quinn's solidified spot on top. In the past few weeks, the speaker has fallen victim to criticisms of all sorts, be it her standing amongst the LGBT community, her campaign's ties to the real estate community, or a view of Quinn as Bloomberg Lite.

Meanwhile, the politician who was caught cybersexting just two years ago has certainly gathered that following predicted by Marist in April; a rise without the help of any major union endorsement and a testament to just how split the labor vote could be in the primaries. But the newest poll adds flame to the fear of Democrats when Weiner first stirred speculation of a run with the New York Times Magazine profile on him and his wife, Huma Abedin: that his entry could lead to a runoff and, as a result, hand the election to the Republicans.
Then again, what's an election without a little competition? Besides, September is still three months away.

Dividends are the hottest niche in the exchange-traded fund world, and there's little mystery why.
It's interest rates. Bonds, money market funds and certificates of deposit are paying out such paltry sums to savers that the dividend yield of the Standard & Poor's 500 not only exceeds the interest rate on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds but now does so by more than half a percentage point -- 2.1% versus 1.5%. "If you look at the traditional income products, many of them actually have negative real returns when you factor in inflation," says Neena Mishra, director of ETF research at Zacks Investment Research. "Income investors are looking for alternatives, and many of them are turning to dividend ETFs."
Since the start of 2011, the number of dividend ETFs has soared from 29 to 49, according to Morningstar, and the total assets under management in the category has ballooned from $22 billion to $47 billion. This is one instance where investors are clearly not chasing performance, as the category has produced rather mediocre total returns. iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index dvy 0.4336615096108767% iShares Select Dividend ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 85.69 0.37 0.4336615096108767% /Date(1475283600004-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 954235 AFTER HOURS 85.67 -0.02 -0.02333994631812347% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1323 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 3.2353180067685843% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (ticker: DVY) -- one of the oldest dividend ETFs and, until recently, the largest -- lost 0.9% every year, on average, over the past five years, while the S&P 500 lost 0.3% in the same period. It hasn't fared any better in 2012; DVY's year-to-date return is 6.3%, while the S&P has returned 7.9%. By comparison, Morningstar's equity-income mutual-fund category also trails the S&P; the category has lost 2.6% annually over five years, and returned 5.4% year-to-date.
Latest ETF Investing Strategies
Is the New Money-Market Fund an ETF?
The Good Times Can't Last Forever
Still, if you want income and can accept the fact that the monthly dividend payments will not be as predictable as, say, income from a bond fund, dividend ETFs do have appeal. Like other equity ETFs, they track stock indexes that are usually well-diversified and easy to buy and sell, and they have lower expense ratios than comparable actively managed mutual funds. The largest dividend ETF, for instance, Vanguard Dividend Appreciation vig 0.7442083783459369% Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 83.93 0.62 0.7442083783459369% /Date(1475283600001-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 557914 AFTER HOURS 83.93 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 28 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.8729893959251758% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (VIG), has an expense ratio of only 0.13%, even cheaper than the already-cheap Vanguard Equity-Income fund (VEIPX), which charges 0.31%. That expense difference comprises a big chunk of the performance gap between Vanguard's ETF (five-year annual total return: 1.9%) and its actively-managed equity-income cousin (1.22%). "The lower-expense products tend to do very well," says Michael Iachini, ETF analyst at Charles Schwab Investment Advisory, which consults on portfolio construction for individuals and advisors.
Investors who buy dividend ETFs do need to keep close tabs on their funds' holdings. One problem is that the indexes these funds track tend to favor stocks with the highest dividend yields, and those stocks aren't always the highest quality companies, which means investors could be setting themselves up for a problem. The highest-yielding stock in the S&P 500, for instance, is Duke Energy DUK -0.33619723571161747% Duke Energy Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD80.04 -0.27 -0.33619723571161747% /Date(1475269378190-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3702958 AFTER HOURS USD80.04 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 180082 P/E Ratio 21.075914369223476 Market Cap 55147560630.7983 Dividend Yield 4.272863568215892% Rev. per Employee 784946 More quote details and news » (DUK), which has a 13.8% dividend yield but a world of management and acquisition troubles. "For some investors, active management probably is the way to go when it comes to income-oriented products," says Amy Charles, director of closed-end fund research at Raymond James Financial.
Another problem with dividend ETFs is their lack of transparency, at least when it comes to how they select stocks. When you buy a conventional ETF like Powershares QQQ qqq 0.7467752885268161% PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 U.S.: Nasdaq 118.72 0.88 0.7467752885268161% /Date(1475269200286-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 23659718 AFTER HOURS 118.75 0.03 0.02526954177897574% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1883482 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 0.9901280323450135% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (QQQ), you know it will hold the 100 largest stocks by market capitalization in the Nasdaq Stock Market. When you buy the largest dividend ETF, Vanguard Dividend Appreciation vig 0.7442083783459369% Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 83.93 0.62 0.7442083783459369% /Date(1475283600001-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 557914 AFTER HOURS 83.93 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 28 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.8729893959251758% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (VIG), you're buying a bit of a black box. All you know about its stock selection is that the holdings will have at least 10 years of dividend increases and will track Mergent's "Dividend Achievers Select Index." And how exactly is the Dividend Achievers Select Index assembled? "Mergent does not disclose our methodologies," says Karlyn Johnston, the indexer's spokeswoman.
In other words, if you're going to buy Vanguard Dividend Appreciation -- a fund that has outperformed its category over the past five years and is a favorite of Morningstar ETF analyst Timothy Strauts -- or any other dividend ETF -- you need to check the holdings regularly. If you don't, you run the risk of getting into the kind of trouble investors in dividend ETFs found themselves in five years ago.
Any dividend-stock index that puts a premium on high dividends could back shareholders into a disproportionate number of low-quality stocks—particularly if corporate earnings are in decline. That's exactly what happened in 2008 and 2009, when many of the highest-yielding stocks heading into the financial crisis were bank stocks. Bank managements were slow to cut dividends even as the crisis deepened, which caused bank-stock dividend yields to soar. (Yields often move in the inverse direction of stock prices.)
Consequently, several dividend ETFs wound up formulaically increasing their exposure to financials at a time when the human managers of traditional equity income funds were cutting back. "DVY got killed because it loaded up on financials right as the crisis started," says Strauts. Between September 2008 and March 2009, Dow Jones Select Dividend's share price fell 56%. Another dividend ETF, PowerShares High Yield Equity pey 0.6975269499048827% PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers Portfolio U.S.: NYSE Arca 15.88 0.11 0.6975269499048827% /Date(1475283600003-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 204949 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 3.1806045340050377% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (PEY), became even more overexposed to financials -- in October 2008 bank stocks comprised 55% of total assets -- and it wound up losing 67% over the same period.
Dividend ETFs may look the same on the outside, but underneath the label they can have very different ingredients. Peter and Maria Hoey for Barron's
One reason to like the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF is its focus on companies that grow their dividends, as opposed to those with the highest yields. While that doesn't preclude VIG from becoming overexposed to financials or any other sector, it did perform less badly during the financial crisis, losing only 39%.

In contrast, Powershares High Yield Equity may boast a higher dividend yield -- 3.7% to VIG's 2.1% -- but it also owns lower-quality companies.

"If I'm an investor, I'd want to research whether these stocks' dividends are going up for the right reasons or the wrong ones. You don't want to buy a dividend ETF just because it has an above-average yield."
The same goes for international or emerging-markets ETFs, many of which have alluringly high yields, anywhere from 4% to 10%. That may make them a smarter way to play emerging markets, but they're not a replacement for income investors concerned about safety and steadiness. Among the challenges associated with investing overseas -- and especially in emerging markets -- are lax accounting standards and uneven enforcement in countries such as China.
That said, for ETFs specifically focused on quality dividend-paying companies, dividends can be a backdoor way of screening out the poorer risks. "If I'm running an investment fraud," says Morningstar's Strauts, "I'm probably not paying a dividend." The emerging-markets dividend ETF he favors, Wisdom Tree Emerging Markets Equity Income dem 0.45454545454545453% WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund U.S.: NYSE Arca 37.57 0.17 0.45454545454545453% /Date(1475283600002-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 266690 AFTER HOURS 37.57 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 8.57066808623902% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (DEM), has a 14% position in China, whereas the largest emerging markets ETF, Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets vwo 0.7226980728051392% Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 37.63 0.27 0.7226980728051392% /Date(1475283600004-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18803975 AFTER HOURS 37.6 -0.03 -0.07972362476747276% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 4.783417486048366% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (VWO), has 19% of its assets in Chinese stocks. And perhaps not coincidentally, Wisdom Tree Emerging Markets also has the superior three-year average annual return: 14% to 10.5%.
Investors seeking maximum income but more safety, Rosenbluth says, would be better off buying a utilities-sector ETF such as Utilities Select Sector SPDR xlu -0.6892357591729171% Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 48.99 -0.34 -0.6892357591729171% /Date(1475283600001-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 14470487 AFTER HOURS 48.99 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 3.3975831802408654% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (XLU), which has a 3.8% yield. Another strategy: A "low volatility" equity ETF. A recent study by economist and quantitative-investing expert Robert Haugen found that low-risk stocks -- those less prone to wild swings in price -- outperformed the market from 1990 to 2011. While low-volatility ETFs do not intentionally select high-dividend stocks, many of the steadiest-performing companies do pay higher dividends. Thus the largest low-volatility ETF -- Powershares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio splv 0.26582890285161914% PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio U.S.: NYSE Arca 41.49 0.11 0.26582890285161914% /Date(1475283600002-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3153384 AFTER HOURS 41.5 0.01 0.024102193299590263% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.8799710773680405% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (SPLV) -- boasts a dividend yield of 2.9%.
The Largest Dividend ETFs
The ETF industry is highly concentrated, and when it comes to picking a fund, bigger is often better. While there are 49 dividend-focused ETFs on the market with a total of $47 billion in assets, the 10 largest make up more than 90% of those assets, or $43.5 billion. Stick with the well-established funds.

This is probably one of if not the best times of the year. The Final Four is on its way and we are entering the final stretch of the NBA season. The playoffs will soon start.
It's basketball 24/7 and I love it.
The Sixers made a huge rebound this year and they are making a big playoff run in the standings. One can make the argument that they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now and also one of the most underrated.
So I figured, why not compare them to one of the most over talked-about teams in the Miami Heat?
In the upcoming list, I've drawn out a position-by-position matchup and analyzed players from either team.
Are the Heat as good as they are made out to be?

High-performance CIGS solar cell saves resources, increases conversion efficiency
AIST has developed a thin film technology that can reduce the consumption of raw selenium below one-tenth of the conventional standard when manufacturing non-silicon-based CIGS thin-film solar cells. The technology uses radio-frequency-cracked selenium radicals instead of conventional vaporized selenium. With this technology, the high-reactivity of radical selenium can be utilized, thus reducing the consumption of raw Se to one-tenth. The technology enhances the conversion efficiency of a solar cell without using an expensive metal such as platinum, palladium, or iridium, and results in cells of reproducible quality from run to run. Additionally, the technology uses a black metal electrode and a light-absorbing layer containing ZnO (zinc oxide). This result brings about a great advancement for mass production of high-performance CIGS modules.
Natural, green chemicals for managing harmful micro-organisms
A food-grade, organic-compliant, non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-hazardous and completely biodegradable anti-microbial product has been developed that also acts as natural food-safe preservative. This offers a natural and safe solution for cleaning, sanitising, preserving food, personal care and healthcare products, agricultural growth stimulation, fresh produce treatment, hospital sanitation and new consumer product development. Scaled for commercial production this product offers a non toxic phyto-pharmaceutical of organic origin that acts mechanistically by destroying the cellular membrane of a micro-organism. Its efficacy is due to a synergistic reaction created between the non-toxic bioflavonoids, ascorbic acid and other fruit acids that are included in the formulation. The final product is carried in a food safe solvent, which makes the active ingredients infinitely soluble in water and alcohol. It is completely natural and is certified by SGS and other certifications are in renewal process. Supported by four EU patents.
Light sources that dispel humans and animals
Safety and security is not only about fencing and locking a site or building. It's also about measures to detect and ban unwanted individuals form certain areas. Philips is now offering an innovative technology to dispel humans (and also animals) from an area where they are unwanted. The new and patented dispelling light source (DLS) concept is based on disturbance of humans and/or animals using photosensitive stimuli. When switching a DLS system to the specifically programmed flickering mode, it directly induces negative psychological and/or physiological effects like e.g. aversion, discomfort, dazzling, disorientation, fear or malaise. As a direct result, humans and/or animals will be dispelled from the site. Proper selection of the flicker frequency avoids triggering of photosensitive epilepsy. Patent pending and several prototypes have been developed.
Superior flavored shelf-stable soy pudding
Delicious, ready-to-eat, heart healthy, bone healthy puddings made with organic whole soy, which come in three flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Banana. The proprietary formulations provide better flavor than competing soy puddings and most consumers cannot discern between these puddings and dairy puddings. These puddings have had repeat purchases in large grocery chains and from wholesale distributors. The trade secret is three fold: 1) Superior flavor profile 2) Elimination of bean taste 3) Superior texture and mouth feel. These soy puddings are low fat, have no saturated fat, are heart and bone healthy snacks that provide more protein and fiber than regular puddings. Flavoring is proprietary, achieves better flavor and texture than competing brands and needs no refrigeration and never spoils with a two year best buy shelf life.
Seeking: Substance with high affinity for large antigen molecules
A company seeks a process of making high-affinity antibodies (or other substances) that can bind rapidly to antigens of large molecular sizes, such as proteins. Their aim is to develop a high-speed immune detection apparatus. Antibodies are used extensively in diagnostics and as therapeutic agents. Achieving high-affinity binding is important for expanding detection limits and achieving diagnostics in short amounts of time. This need is for a highly sensitive, high-affinity antibody or process of designing and making a substance that works as well as antibodies in having a high affinity to a given analyte, and a high speed of binding. Antibody affinity to the immune body should be at least 10
. It is important to clarify the methodology that maintains a certain probability of high-affinity antibody production. The methodology must be reliable and repeatable. This technology seeker is not interested in high-affinity antibody technologies for small molecules, but rather for large molecules such as proteins. Haptens are not in the scope of this need.
Seeking: Self-contained therapeutic wrap that provides temperature-controlled pain releif for 8-12 hours or more
Do you have a technology leading to a flexible, adhesive thermal patch or wrap that can provide lasting warmth for 8 to 12 hours (or more)? The technology should not involve a chemical active in contact with the skin. The heating effect should be activatable anywhere, without the use of plugs or wires. Thermal patches and wraps provide pain-relieving warmth and comfort to sore muscles and similar injuries. Many wraps place chemicals in contact with the skin to provide a sensation of warmth. Heating pads and similar devices provide thermal comfort. Ideally, your technology will offer a way to develop true thermal patches and wraps for sore muscles that do not use chemical rubefacients (capillary dilators), and yet will offer an accurate and lasting controlled temperature with no possibility of burn.
Seeking: Intelligent multi-sensor control system to manage lighting for ambience and functionality
Technology is needed to generate a change in the ambience of a given space. Is there technology that can interpret a number of sensory changes within a room in order to change other parameters. Imagine being able to change the lighting in a room because you know where someone is, or how warm they are, or what tasks they are about to perform or what experience they are about to have. There are many facets to how we use space and how we interact with it. Being able to understand the environment of that space and control the changes in lighting would be of interest to us. Specifically software that interprets multi-sensor data and the consequence hardware to control numerous devices to bring about a desired lighting change. The technology seeker is interested in novel and proven technology packages that deal with data from sensing an environment, interpretation of the sensory data and the consequent control of lighting such to create a desired change in that environment.

The important thing that Tomey made very clear, was the returning players are "the program" and the ones who will lead us next season.
That they are established players who are known quantities by the coaching staff. That every current player is being challenged to improve from last season.
That we will dearly miss the outgoing seniors but that we already have good talent, good students, and hard workers already in the program.
He also said that AT is the man at QB unless someone else can take him down. He said it is very hard to do that in practice and that AT had an outstanding year this past season. AT is the man. He said if we were playing tommorrow that AT would start, no question.
A few things that I remember from the clips-
David Richmond reminded me of James Jones, who reminds me of TO without all the attitude. Enough said. A big/strong/athletic reciever who goes up and fights for the ball and makes plays. Has not played alot of football but DT said he was the one player SJSU recruited that had the most offers and options to play elsewhere. DT said he is a quality person also. Sounds like SJSU landed a "big fish."
Kyle Flynn looks very fast and is another big/strong reciever. He is a bigtime playmaker who averaged 17 yards a catch in JC. He is going to be a star at SJSU, I just have a feeling. Made me wonder how great an athlete his brother Sean must be. DT said he is living in San Jose with his brother right now but would start school next fall.
Fred Koloto was a highly sought after HS lineman and a very good catch for SJSU per DT. Probably the most sought after HS player that we picked up.
Said he comes from a terrific family and wanted to play local. Said he would start all the HS lineman out on offense, see how they perform, and than possibly move some to defense.
Isaac Leatiota looks like a complete monster and DT said they recruited him last year when he decided to sign with Cal and that he was really excited to have him at SJSU now. He is currently in school and will have 4 to play 4 starting next fall. DT was really excited about this player.
Joe Bates was recruited by DT two years ago but went the JC route(probably grades). DT said he is happy to have him on board now and that he makes plays. DT said he likes his safetys to have cornerback ability and that Bates fits that kind of athleticism.
Josh Harrison is a stud. The guy looked like the fastest guy we recruited. He just ran away from everybody on the film. DT said he is a 10.5-10.6 guy and one of the best long jumpers in the nation at the HS level. DT said he will compete as a kick returner right away. Decommited from Utah to come to SJSU. We landed another big catch in this player.
Brandon Rutley was the only RB that SJSU picked up. DT said he was only interested in a RB(because we are deep at the position) if the guy was a total stud which he seemed to be as he averaged over 10 yards a carry for two straight years in a good HS program. Llooked like he played the game faster than everyone else on the field.
Duke Ihenacho is relatively new to football just as his brother. DT said he was a good student and just flat out hits hard. I think the coaching staff is looking forward to unlocking his potential. He can be a real good one.
DT said Alex Germany was the best HS CB on the board that SJSU could sign. He seemed very happy to have him comming to SJSU. The kid was all world down in the SoCal desert.
Jeff Schweiger, enough said. We all know his ability but DT said he was an awesome team guy. That he is really excited to be at SJSU and that he is already one of the hardest workers even though he can not play until 2008. He is at SJSU and currently taking classes.
Mike Avila looked like a very shifty runner with good speed who just makes guys miss. DT said he will compete as a kick returning right away. DT said he was one of the most dynamic guys in the CCS and the son of a football coach. Enough said.
Jonathan Harris looked like another safety who makes plays. DT said he was very physical, or as DT puts it, "hits with violence." He looked like the DT type of player that "knows" the game of football.
Steve Lightsy and Moa Ngatuvai are two big guys who had alot of "pancakes" on the videos. DT likes them both and said we are doing a good job of building depth at these line positions.
DT said that Andres Vargas was the one HS player that they "knew" the best. He was at the SJSU football camps and they have watched him compete and followed his progress closely. They were obviously happy that he signed with SJSU.
Kyler O'Neal looked very fast and polished for a HS player. DT said he comes from a good program at Mac and that he has good bloodlines. His older bro is also a player at CCSF who just signed with Tennessee.
Davell Brumfield looked like another DT type player. He was a strong tackler and will play LB/RB for the Spartans. One of those DT type of players who would be good at multiple positions.
Last but not least, Terrance Williams sounded very intrigueing. I dont think they had tape on him. Sounded like a very good player who happened to fall into the Spartan lap due to injury at CCSF last season.. DT said the sky was the limit for him if he can get healthy.
DT also said he thought this was a very good class as far as filling needs with outstanding talent. He also said he thinks the breakout season in 2006 will pay more divedends in next years recruiting process as many kids are already leaning towards commitments as HS juniors.
In other words, recruiting should comntinue to improve.
DT said the WAC will be better than ever next seaon and that the Spartans have established themselves as a competitive program and WAC contender.

With the recent addition of direct flights between Denver International Airport and Japan, Greeley has a much better opportunity for destination marketing in the Asian travel market than ever before. We have had a presence in this market for many years, but on a limited level.
International travelers are not new to Greeley and Weld County. While it is true that 40 percent of total foreign arrivals are in New York, Miami and Los Angeles, we are seeing an uptick in foreigners seeking to explore second and third-tier cities. Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Japan and Germany remain the top five countries of origin, but large increases in tourists are coming from Latin America and Asia. Eleven of the top 15 inbound tourism markets posted increases in visitation to the United States.
Research reveals that not only are international leisure travelers interested in the "Big City, Las Vegas, Disney and Dude Ranch" experience, they are also interested in visiting cities where they can experience authentic Americana by participating in our local events and visiting our attractions. Greeley's Colorado Miniature Railroad Museum has benefited significantly from international visitors coming from countries such as Australia, Peru and Laos.
Many of these visitors extend their Colorado Miniature Railroad Museum experience to incorporate dining and shopping opportunities. We hope you are seeing them in your businesses.
Additionally, our international guests are interested in industrial and agricultural tours. There has been an increase in culinary, wine and brewery tourism. History and cultural tourism also tops the list for international interests. Rather than "vacation," the international traveler refers to time away from work and home as "going on holiday." They generally allow three to four weeks of time for travel, and most have planned a budget for extra memento purchases while visiting a foreign county as a remembrance of their visit. Whether you call it vacation or holiday, it means an economic impact to our city.
Because of our diverse agricultural offerings, medical technology, energy programs and educational institutions, we have long been a destination for international business and professional tourism. Sometimes these visits can turn into a new business/industry opportunity for Greeley and Weld.
We are fortunate to have a great partnership with the Colorado Tourism Office, which has the financial wherewithal to participate in several International Trade Shows. They include Greeley in the menu of Colorado offerings. The Colorado Tourism Office also is taking a closer look at agri-tourism and building on it, not only internationally but domestically as well. Weld certainly fits the agriculture bill as the eighth largest agricultural producing county in the United States.
As we broaden our invitation to international guests to visit us, please welcome them with the kind of hospitality for which Greeley is noted. Merci beaucoup, danke schön, gracias, tack själv, obrigado ... thank you!
LeeAnn Sterling is the director of Visit Greeley, part of the Greeley Chamber of Commerce.
