Absolute-Return Funds' Appeal to Jump: Putnam
November 22, 2010
Absolute-return funds may only comprise $140 billion, a scant 1.2% of the $11.26 trillion in mutual funds, but that will grow to 10% to 15% over the next decade, predicts Putnam Investments President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Reynolds.
Driving this demand will be a listless equity market for the foreseeable future and investors who now prefer positive returns to funds that simply aim to beat a benchmark and adhere to static asset allocation, styles and geographic diversification, said Reynolds and other speakers at Putnam's first Absolute Return Symposium in New York.
Gabriel Burstein, global head of portfolio solutions and investment research at Lipper Thomson Reuters, said that in the 1970s, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average moved sideways but only slightly upward, the timing was perfect for Vanguard's introduction of passive index funds. "Since 2000, the market has switched from its old dogma and is totally unpredictable. As a result, we have seen the emergence of absolute-return and alternative mutual funds that work irrespective of market direction."
"Set it and forget it is done," agreed Cynthia F. Steer, chief research strategist at Rogerscasey. "Economics and mathematics have changed. Style boxes are not where the world is going to be. I need a wider toolkit with more strategies."
"The investment continuum has broadened to include skill-based, flexible strategies," said Jeffrey Knight, managing director and head of global asset allocation at Putnam.
"Buy and hold is over," Burstein added. "This market will not deliver any sustained trend. You cannot make money in a market that is directionless." That's why retail investors now need the "diversification of strategy" and "progressive risk management" that absolute return funds offer, he said.
"We are facing a very strange combination of high volatility in the equities markets and zero yield on fixed income, creating a truly profound need for an alternative," Reynolds said. "Absolute return is a new solution that has really touched a nerve by offering less volatile, more predictable returns. We as professionals need to stretch the bonds of diversification to think outside the style box."
By comparison, relative return funds aim at beating a benchmark, even if it declines, whereas absolute-return funds must deliver real returns regardless of the market direction, Reynolds explained. "Absolute return managers prioritize limiting losses and risk and are paid for delivering positive returns. Relative managers are paid if they beat the market," even if their clients lose money.
Indeed, the suite of four Putnam Absolute Return funds that the firm unveiled on Dec. 23, 2008 have outpaced their goals. Through Sept. 30, the Putnam Absolute Return 100 Fund, which aims to beat the U.S. Treasury bill net of expenses by 100 basis points, has delivered a 2.4% annualized return. The Putnam Absolute Return 300 Fund has delivered 5.2%, the Putnam Absolute Return 500 Fund is up 5.7% and the Putnam Absolute Return 700 Fund is up 8.6%.
As an asset class, absolute return funds declined 10% in 2008, whereas the broader market dropped 37%, Reynolds noted.
Putnam's funds have achieved their performance by investing in short-term bonds, equities and hedging strategies. Specifically, the 100 and 300 series invest in: cash equivalents, asset-backed securities, emerging market debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, foreign currencies, high-yield corporates, international bonds, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, investment-grade corporates and U.S. government bonds. In addition to these assets, the 500 and 700 series also invest in: commodities, emerging market stocks, international stocks, U.S. stocks and real estate investment trusts.
And in this timeframe, the Putnam funds have amassed nearly $3 billion in assets, sold through 9,000 financial advisers.
"Absolute-return investing has been a feature of institutional and high-net-worth investors for decades," Reynolds said. "The only thing new is its emergence among mainstream America." Given the volatility investors continue to face and the catastrophic losses they suffered in 2008, "absolute return funds should play a role in every investor's portfolio and in every adviser's toolkit. The question is not if but how much-5%, 10% or 50%? Can they be used as a qualified option in workplace savings plans? Should they be a building block for 529 college savings plans? Are they a viable alternative to passive investing? Can they comprise lifetime income planning? We argue that they are all of the above."
Reynolds continued: "I expect we will see many more applications, including solutions we haven't even seen yet. We are only beginning to see a sense of their emergence as a major category, like lifecycle funds. The takeoff will be dramatic, like light speed. We aren't there yet. But that is the rate at which they will grow."

I'm looking at the borosilicate glass collection. So can you microwave these with the lid on (vented) or not...the combination of the description and the specs makes it unclear: "Microwave safe! (without lid)" vs. "When microwaving always vent lid..." and "Follow microwave manufacturers recommendations.... Remove lid or open enough to avoid dangerous steam build up." The manufacturer's website uses the exact same wording.

New Delhi, Feb 10: Having played a stellar role many a time in India-Pakistan clashes, all-rounder Irfan Pathan feels that the defending champions have a far superior unit and will do well against the arch-rivals in the high-voltage opening World Cup encounter on February 15 in Adelaide.
World Cup Special; Tournament Guide; List of commentators
"I think India is going to do really well because I think they are a far superior side. Inshallah I am sure India are going to do well. Aur Irfan Pathan ki duaein bhi toh unke saath hain (My prayers are with the team)," Irfan told PTI in an interview.
Irfan, who was part of the 2007 World Cup team under Rahul Dravid, opines it is all about handling pressure in the 50-over showpiece event.
"There is lot of pressure involved in a World Cup. Because everyone is watching you, everyone's talking about a World Cup, everyone wants the Cup back. And obviously people will talk about it because it comes every four years. So the pressure mounts four times.
"When I was in West Indies, we thought we had prepared well but unfortunate that things didn't turn out the way we would have wanted to. So the pressure is always there and you have to handle it as much as you can," said the Baroda southpaw.
Irfan, who became a star after making an impressive debut against Australia in 2003, also played his part in Indias inaugural World T20 triumph in 2007.
He recalls the pressure of a World game and the memorable clashes with the Pakistani side.
"India-Pakistan game is always very special and is a pressure game. And if you playing in a World Cup then the pressure doubles. I recall one such pressure situation in the inaugural World T20 in South Africa when the India-Pak game was tied.
We tried not to take pressure on ourselves in that situation. (MS) Dhoni was a new captain, the whole scenario was so new", he said.

David Csaszar
Favorite Quote: "I create art out of love for life!"
I'm mostly a self-taught artist and through out my life I found the type of art I like doing, and that is abstract expressionism in which I have no boundaries to express myself, as I let my artwork do that.
Earliest experiences with art
When I started in the arts I was very young and one time I painted a painting of mushrooms for a lady and she loved it. I also did many drawings for my art class back in my junior year. In the tenth grade I started doing my first abstracts, and after that my art teachers were set back by my imagination.
Art and Music
When I do my artwork today I do sometimes listen to music such as jazz or orchestrations as I paint as I composing the creation of my work of art.
Also see: Watercolor Artworks by Cynthia Warden
Do you have a day job besides art?
I do work part time as a commercial painter in many office buildings.
Artistic Process
In my artwork I apply layers of color to create a sense of depth and a feeling of space and add lines of color to create movement in which creates forms of active space to give the viewer a feel of purely visual contact with the painting. The above elements contribute to the whole composition to create movement in its purist form.
Artist with the most influences on me are Picasso, Kandinsky & Pollock
Online Art Promotion
For the last few years I been promoting my artwork online using several outlets and mostly using Fine Arts America to promote.

Padzieski Art Gallery Line & Form Exhibit July 19 – August 24, 2012
Art Takes Time Square 2012
Art and Life
My life in general is a private life of an artist in which at times I do like being around people with the same interest. I think the highlights in my life as an artist was my first art exhibit. I can't live my life again but if I did it would be in the arts. Only the future can tell if my art will be exceptive to the general populist.
Advice for emerging artists
For emerging artist find what you are good at and work at for the rest of your life because once you choose to become an artist there is no turning back.

The MarketMature
The way the gangs run this town is disgusting. They take what they need and force everyone else to scavenge. Money has no meaning in Poukines. If you want something, you have to fight for it, or work out a deal. I've seen good men do terrible things for a couple cans of food. For women, the only way they can be sure of a meal is by working in the brothels. No days off, beatings, a flea infested bed, but there's always food for a whore, because a whore isn't any good if she's dead.
After supply drops, you can sometimes find food in the market. The gangs take advantage of the fact that the rest of us are starving and the merchants in the stalls drive a hard bargain. Luckily for me I was able to kill a thug earlier. Took his gun and knives. Hopefully it's enough to pay for a meal.
I can always tell when I'm close to the market. The stench of hundreds of unwashed bodies and human filth fills the streets around the market. Girls call out from the surrounding buildings, trying desperately to earn their keep. A drunk staggers by, smelling of booze and piss. I turn the collar up on my coat, hoping to conceal most of my face. Lately the Skrays have been on the lookout for me more than usual, and the last thing I need is some merchant trying to gain favor by turning me in.
I stop at one of the smaller stalls and put the scavenged weapons on the table.
"What can you get me for these?"
The greasy merchant picks up one of the knives and examines it. He turns and spits over his shoulder, a gob of saliva trailing from his lips.
"Well I might be able to give ya a jug of liquor, but if ya want anything more potent, ya might need to throw in a bit more."
"How about some food? You don't advertise it, but you always have food."
The merchant glances around and nods. I knew him from before Poukine went to shit. Even when there's no food for anyone else, Jack always has something saved for me. He takes the weapons off the table and tucks them away in his coat. He pulls a sack out from under a pile of boxes and hands it to me. I grab it, but he doesn't let go.
"You can't buy from me anymore. The Skrays know ya come here. They've been threatening me for weeks. In ten minutes, I'm gonna make the call, and ya better be the hell away from here by the time I do. I been protecting ya for too long as it is."
I tear the bag from his fist. I run, but not out fear. I have to survive, wait out the time until I'm stronger, until I can finally throw Leonard back into the pit he came from. To die at the hands of his goons would be failure, and I only have one chance to succeed.

The wind regime in coastal areas with special reference to results obtained from the Swedish wind energy program

The paper describes various aspects of the wind regime in coastal areas as obtained from several experimental programs along the Baltic coast of Sweden. The studies include the change with distance inland of mean wind structure as well as the turbulence structure in various conditions. It is found that wind spectra are usually well described by local similarity in its high frequency part, even in complex terrain. The low frequency parts of the spectra show clear 'spectral lag effects'. The effects of a small slope, ca 5 m height change over 300 m travel distance, is clearly seen in some spectra, and it is shown that current 'flow over a hill theory' can be used to account for it. The change of mean wind speed throughout the entire boundary layer as the wind passes a low but wooded island (Gotland), ca 30 km wide, has been studied in a series of relatively strong wind, near neutral cases. Some unexpected features are found; in particular the wind speed decreases more rapidly with distance inland than predicted by current numerical models. Two cases with a low level jet are discussed in some detail. Arguments are presented for the phenomenon to be caused by frictional decoupling at the Latvian coast, about 200 km upwind — the jet being thus an analogy in space to the classical Blackadar nocturnal jet frequently observed in continental areas.

The Scarecrow's BaneMature
Cities leveled and bodies burnt.
Rain pelted down to the earth, turning all the sand to mud and glass to dust. Blood, crimson under the midnight sun, flowed into grim of the gutter. Sewer rats bathing in the filth as they sip on this rare treat. A dark wind picked up and bringing with it a swarm of crows. Dark crows, tainted with blood, flew over the dark skyscrapers. Some still hot with the coals and heated flames. Dark smoke swelling from the ashes being reborn in the sky. Every window smashed, this is the place where the solders been. Not a single soul in the dust of a fallen city. 30 millions people lived here, now it's a ghost town. Every soul taken by the dark of night and smashed like dust. Just like the crimson tainted sands. All the diamonds in the world would make no difference. All are just like the broken glass, fallen shining dimly in the dark. All the dead, pecked and wrecked, eaten by the darkness. Left to bake in the sun, drifting towards the blaze. Just like yesterdays headlines drifting and floating towards the blaze.
In a matter of moments millions could die. Like the fource of sunset, crows stormed the sky and seagulls the oceans. Pecking the skin of the dead. Bullets riddled the sides of corpses and buildings. The vile stench of hot led ageist the scorching the wood planks boarding off the hopeful business man. They screamed, `Here they come! Here they come!` Death is never enough and some things never get better like used cars and bad livers. They asked there 'God' for forgiveness but when that failed they traded Him in for a better looking brand. A much hotter brand with all the spice and juicy fruits in the world.

Jane: Wanting
Once I had finally got over my laughing fit I knew I was in trouble. As long as Regan was in the house I would have to watch my back more than ever.
Not only did he want my blood he wanted my body as well. I don't know why he choose me, their are hundreds of willing Shapeshifters out there ready to sell their souls to a vampire.
I watch as everyone decides to go to bed and I go off ahead first. I close my door and just as I'm about to walk away, there's a faint knock on it.
I open the door and glare at Regan. "What do you want?" I hiss.
"Nice hair cut" he says touching the end of my hair. I slap his hand away and a low growl comes from within his chest. "You bet a watch you attitude" he hisses at me.
"You don't control me here Regan" I hiss back at him. "Now go back to your owner like a good little dog"
I slam the door in his face. I hear him chuckle. "You know fighting will just make me want you more" he mutters before walking off down the corridor. I shake nervously.
Shoot, I've got myself a problem here.

A group of Muslims restores the Basilica of Gethsemane
It took 18 months work and €600,000 to restore the Basilica of Gethsemane back to its original splendour. Restoration work on the precious mosaics has finished and the 5000 pilgrims that visit the Basilica of Agony in Jerusalem every year will once more be able to linger amid the Church's ancient aisles, their heads tilted backwards, immersed in a nocturnal atmosphere, intensified by the dark blue starry sky depicted on the mosaics which is framed by olive branches.
A number of countries contributed to the building of the great Basilica with the 12 domes, designed by the architect Antonio Barluzzi, hence it is also called Church of All Nations. The basilica was finished in 1924 and has not undergone any restoration work since.This coupled with the fact that the signs of "ageing" were really beginning to show on the Basilica's domes, led the Custody of the Holy Land to begin restoration work on what is one of Christianity's most important sites. The Basilica is just a few steps away from the holy garden which evokes that nocturnal scene on Holy Thursday when Jesus suffered the moments of agony and abandonment the Lord had in store for him.
"The Franciscans could have given the project to foreign experts but they chose to invest in the training of young Palestinians from the local area," said Carla Benelli who heads the cultural projects carried out by ATS pro Terra Sancta (www.proterrasancta.org). ATS pro Terra Sancta is the Custody's lay branch and the initiative's coordinating body. The six young people chosen are from the Mosaic Centre in Jericho. Five of them are Muslims.
"Giving the project for the restoration of the basilica by the Garden of Olives to a group of young Muslims (who contributed to the restoration of two synagogues) was a challenging task, but they feel grateful and proud to be participating in this restoration project," Benelli said.
But it is not just time that has left its mark on the Basilica, recent history has too. The splendid mosaic depicting Jesus as mediator between God and humanity that adorns the tympanum, still has the marks of the bullets that hit the façade during the Six Day War of 1967. The project receives the support of the Palestinian Municipality Support Program of the Consulate General of Italy in Jerusalem, the Municipality of Rovereto and Italian foundation Opera Campana. The Custodian of the Holy Land, Fr. Pizzaballa, has underlined the importance and educational value of this project on many occasions. Thanks to Jerusalem's schools, more than a thousand children between the ages of 8 and 12 have come to visit the Church which was opened especially for them during closing hours (12-14). Many did not know about this world heritage site, venerated by more than one billion people. "When children go to school in the morning, they see coaches lining up to let pilgrims off and ask themselves: why there?"
So Franciscans thought to encourage school visits to teach the young inheritors of this legacy a church that belongs to them as well, to both Muslim and Christian children. "They are mostly shocked to see that they live close to such a beautiful place, in the heart of Eastern Jerusalem." They would never have imagined it. At the end of the tour, one young Muslim girl even asked the friars whether she could come back with her parents.

By late afternoon on Thursday it was a surprisingly tranquil scene. A few people stood and chatted at a militia checkpoint leading into Slavyansk over a bridge. A Russian tricolour flew above a wall of tyres. Next to it was the flag of the "Donetsk People's Republic". The armed pro-Russian separatists who hijacked the town in eastern Ukraine almost three weeks ago were still in business. Earlier they had fended off a demonstrative mini-attack by the Ukrainian army.
Six miles down the road, past several crumbling Soviet-era factories and a sliver of forest, was a crossroads. Here, the Ukrainian forces had set up a new checkpoint of their own. Soldiers dressed in black body armour and helmets inspected vehicles driving up and down in the afternoon sunshine. An armoured personnel carrier half-blocked the road; from the adjacent field came the clang of shovels, as troops dug in for the night.
"We arrived here this morning," Dima, a 21-year-old Ukrainian soldier said. What were his orders? "We've been told to search all cars. The idea is to stop any weapons from reaching Slavyansk." A giant blue and yellow Ukrainian flag flew from Dima's armoured vehicle. "It's a BMD-1. Good but old," he said. Another soldier, 30-year-old Vyacheslav, said his battalion, the 25th, had arrived from the city of Dnipropetrovsk.
Earlier on Thursday, other Ukrainian armoured vehicles had skirmished with separatists on the outskirts of the city. The column destroyed several militia checkpoints, transforming ramshackle barricades into smouldering rubber pyres. The assault took place in several places. The troops cleared a militia blockade next to a disused animal feed factory, as well as another rustic roadblock to the city's north-west.
On Tuesday, Ukraine's acting president Oleksandr Turchynov had announced the "anti-terrorist operation" against pro-Russian gunmen who control a patchwork of municipal buildings across the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine. For a moment on Thursday it appeared Ukrainian troops were about to storm Slavyansk – a small, usually sleepy provincial town, which has become the de facto rebel capital.
After burning down a couple of barricades, however, the army pulled out, retreating towards the nearby town of Malynovka. According to the pro-Russian militia, one man waiting at a bus stop was killed in the morning shoot-out, and another injured. Vyacheslav Ponomarev – the self-appointed mayor of Slavyansk – said mines planted in a field had blocked the advance. He said that he would turn the town into a second Stalingrad. But Ukrainian forces seemed reluctant to play the role of aggressors.
Opinions among locals were divided as to who was to blame for this not-quite war. "Everything inside the city is peaceful now. There are no Ukrainian troops there," said Alexander, a 43-year-old taxi driver. "But what government uses an army against its own people? It's a crime. The army is supposed to defend us, not attack us. These people in power in Kiev don't listen." Alexander complained that gunfire was bad for business, adding that the price of water in Slavyansk was extortionate, even though the city sits on Donetsk's northern canal.
Another local, Oleg, however, was scathing about the heavily-armed militia who had taken over Slavyansk's executive committee building and police station. The government in Kiev says that among the militia are undercover Russian soldiers who first appeared in Crimea when Moscow launched its stealth invasion of the Black Sea peninsula. Ukrainians have nicknamed these masked Russian forces who carry automatic weapons but no insignia "little green men".
"How would you like it if 400 little green men turned up and took over your town?" Oleg – who declined to give his second name – wanted to know. "Obviously it's crap. We have guys roaming the streets with guns and masks."
But didn't the public support them? "No. We have a couple of million voters here. Five thousand people can't decide for everyone." He said Slavyansk's existing legislative structures were still intact – a local council, and an elected mayor, now imprisoned by the militia. "People voted for her," Oleg said bitterly.
With the threat of Russian invasion growing by the hour, Kiev's next moves are unclear. Across the east of Ukraine, however, there are signs of the state re-asserting itself, following weeks in which the authorities have seemed powerless and dazed. Government checkpoints have popped up on the road between Donetsk, the regional capital, and Slavyansk. There are police, checking passports. Armed special forces sit in new bunkers, behind sandbags and breeze-blocks.
For months Russian TV – the main source of information for Russian-speakers in the east – has said that "fascists" supported by the US have seized power in Kiev. On Tuesday, however, came the first belated signs that the Ukrainian government was trying to get its counter-message across. A large grey helicopter took to the sky above Slavyansk and the neighbouring town of Kramatorsk, 10 miles away, where separatists have taken up residence in the city hall and security office.
The helicopter dropped thousands of leaflets from the sky. It was an unexpected deluge, much of which landed unread in a large field. One Kramatorsk resident, Alexander Borodeyev, stopped his car. He scampered into the grass to retrieve one. It read: "Instructions to the peaceful population of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk on how to survive in an area where Russian terrorists are active!"
The leaflet had a logo of a masked gunmen – much like the ones in Slavyansk – with the words: "Watch out! Terrorism!" It warned that Russian troops operating in the region were planning "provocative attacks". It advised locals to follow a series of rules.
They included: avoid pro-Russian demonstrations outside occupied buildings ("Your presence plays into the hands of terrorists. For Russian troops the more victims the better.") Plus, ignore calls to storm official premises by agitators. ("They are paid 1,000 hryvnia (£50) a day.) And to report anyone delivering food to the pro-Russians camped inside to the interior ministry, the army, or to Ukraine's SBU internal spy agency.
Russia's state media has stylised the turmoil in Ukraine – now in its sixth month – as an updated re-run of the second world war, and as an existential fight against the forces of fascism. Pro-Russian Ukrainian activists have used the same language and rhetoric. Their symbol – an orange and black ribbon – is worn across Russia on 9 May to mark Soviet Victory Day against Nazi Germany. Surprisingly, some in Kiev appear to be equally in thrall to historical analogy.
The leaflet concludes by urging citizens to avoid mass demonstrations. It claims that Russian spies are present and are prepared to "liquidate" anybody who criticises "Russia's politics". It says: "They will make use of you as a human shield in the same way the occupiers of the Soviet Union did between 1941-1945."
Standing outside Kramatorsk's city hall, Alexander Tezikov – a member of the "Donbass people's militia" – said that his side would prevail. What had he made of Vladimir Putin's comments on Thursday that Kiev's use of the army in eastern Ukraine was a "serious crime" that would entail "consequences". "I think sooner or later Russia will make its move," he said. "It's quite possible we will get help."
Tezikov said that Kiev had violated the Geneva deal agreed last week by Russia, Ukraine, the EU and US. Under it all illegal formations were supposed to end their occupations of buildings and give up their weapons.
He said that his comrades would continue their occupation of the government building, currently shielded by a wall of tyres, furniture, and other debris. "We don't have any arms. But we're not going anywhere," he said.
What did he mean by "get help"? "Russia will send peacekeeping forces into Ukraine," he answered.

Sandstorm lives for action. His only real fear is boredom. As a result he takes unnecessary risks, both in combat and out risks that can sometimes threaten the success of his mission. He lives fast, loud and dangerously. While his traits that make him fun to hang out with most of the time, his fellow Autobots are getting a little sick of his habit of giving away his position to the Decepticons just so he has the opportunity to enjoy a fight. Get a triple changer for your Transformers adventures with this 3-in-1 Sandstorm figure! This Autobot warrior figure converts from dangerous robot mode to VTOL aircraft mode, where he can launch his assaults from above on his Decepticon enemies. But when the battle calls for it, he can change to dune buggy mode! He's a 3-way menace, so keep converting him from one mode to another so he can handle whatever his enemies dish out!

Refueling and Recovery (Part 2 of 2)
Fabio Comana
on Wednesday, July 27, 2011
Normal glycogen restoration occurs within between 24 and 36 hours whereas a more aggressive approach can regenerate glycogen stores within 20 hours. Aggressive strategies therefore become an important consideration for those participating in more frequent, vigorous training programs and less important for those participating in moderate-to-vigorous bouts of cardio every 24 – 48 hours who need nothing more than their regular diet.

Refueling and Recovery (Part 1 of 2)
Fabio Comana
on Friday, June 17, 2011
The unfortunate reality for many of us is that the post-exercise period is perhaps the most neglected component of our exercise program, yet possibly the most influential in determining how effectively our body adapts to the exercise stress and recovers. The objective of this blog series therefore is to share various post-exercise refueling and rehydration strategies that will help your clients maximize their training goals and performance.

While it awaits the arrival of star recruit Craig Lowndes next season, Triple Eight Racing has unsurprisingly teamed up this season's regular drivers Paul Radisich and Max Wilson for the endurance races at Sandown and Bathurst. Yvan Muller and Dean Canto will share the second Triple Eight Falcon. Triple Eight is a real United Nations operation, as it's owned by a consortium of Irish and Brits, while the drivers include a Kiwi (Radisich), a Brazilian (Wilson), a Frenchman (Muller) and an Australian of Italian parentage (Canto). V8 supercars are not new to Muller. The British touring car champion raced in the endurance races here in 2000 with HRT and again in 2002 with the Kmart team.
Clouds over McLaren
It hasn't been all good news at McLaren this week after Kimi Raikkonen's breakthrough win in Belgium. British teenager Hayley Swanson has been paid damages of $67,000 after her boss in the McLaren fan club sexually harassed her, said The Sun newspaper in London. McLaren said the incident was isolated. It came after the massive spend on the team's fancy new Paragon headquarters and the problems with its lame-duck MP4-18/19 F1 car last season. The McLaren Group slid from a $US27million ($39million) profit in 2002 to a $US12.6m loss.
Engines ready
Minardi, the Anglo-Italian Formula One team owned by Australian Paul Stoddart, will continue to receive race engines supplied by Ford-owned Cosworth Racing next year. Under the new arrangement, Minardi will use the more powerful Cosworth TJ V10s used by Jaguar. Next year's engines will come under new technical regulations to be finalised soon, ones that are expected to call for F1 powerplants to be durable enough to last for two race weekends.
Reputations on the line
Past and present racers, including former formula one drivers, many of them now commentating on the sport, will compete in the Volkswagen Polo celebrity race supporting the Chinese Grand Prix at Shanghai later this month. Jacques Laffite, Martin Brundle, Christian Danner, Marc Surer, Eje Elgh, David Kennedy, Ivan Capelli and Volkswagen works driver Jutta Kleinschmidt, the 2001 Dakar Rally winner, have already agreed to risk their reputations. They'll drive identical 2.0-litre Volkswagen Polos.
Mladin on charge
Australia's Mat Mladin has completed a winning double at the penultimate round of this year's US superbike championship at Road Atlanta to close in on an unprecedented fifth title. The pair of wins took Mladin's rally of AMA career wins to 32 (an all- time record) and was his eighth win from the 16 races decided this year. He takes a 42-point buffer to the decider.
IRL shaping up
The Indy Racing League, created in 1995 as the apple pie all-American oval-track alternative to the then CART Indycar series which included ovals, road circuits and temporary street courses on its schedule, has decided to move into its rival's territory. Its 2005 calendar includes the introduction of road circuits Watkins Glen (New York) and Infineon Raceway (California) and a street race at St Petersburg. Right-hand corners will be a new experience for those IRL drivers from a traditional speedway oval background.
Future is Porsche
Porsche in Germany has developed a rally version of its powerful rear-drive 911 GT3 model for use in the Belgian national championships. Belgian team Future World has taken delivery of the first 911 GT3, following a decision by the Royal Automobile Club of Belgium to introduce a GT class in its rally championship. Porsche has previously been involved in rallying (and the Dakar endurance event).
Triumvirate to go solo
Organisers of the 2005 Australian solo speedway championship are hopeful they can attract Australia's three leading international riders - world No.2 Jason Crump, defending champion Ryan Sullivan and Leigh Adams - to the series. Conducted from December 29-January 8, the championship will be held at Gosford, Newcastle, Gillman (SA) and Mildura.
A shrinking ego
One man who was not quite as happy as McLaren boss Ron Dennis when Kimi Raikkonen won the Belgian Grand Prix to break a 27-race losing streak was London Daily Express hack Bob McKenzie. He had declared he would run naked around Silverstone if McLaren won a race this year. McLaren boss Ron Dennis seems intent on keeping the rash scribe to his word. He has urged all other F1 teams to excommunicate McKenzie if he doesn't pay up with a jog wearing nothing but a frown. At least the weather is warm so shrinkage shouldn't be a problem.

Psycho has been rated and re-rated several times over the years by the MPAA. Upon its initial release, the film received a certificate stating that it was "Approved" (certificate #19564) under the simple pass/fail system of the Production Code in use at that time. Later, when the MPAA switched to a voluntary letter ratings system in 1968, Psycho was one of a number of high-profile motion pictures to be retro-rated with an "M" (Mature Audiences).[173] This remained the only rating the film would receive for 16 years, and according to the guidelines of the time "M" was the equivalent of a "PG" rating.[174][175] Then, in 1984, during the uproar of increased parental concern regarding violence in "PG" films,[174][175] Psycho was retro-rated again to its current rating of "R". This rating took effect, however, before the institution of the "PG-13" rating by the MPAA that same year, and there are those who have speculated that if the rating had existed at the time, or if Psycho were rated in America today, it would receive a "PG-13".[176]

Cell by cell, ink-jet printing builds living tissues
By Sarah Webb, 15:58 PM April 15, 2008
Almost as soon as ink-jet printers hit the market in the 1980s, materials researchers realized that the machines could be used to deposit droplets of substances other than ink. In principle, anything that could squeeze through the printhead—including plastics, silicon, or dissolved metals—could be laid out in some precise pattern. And when printed in layers to create three-dimensional structures, such "inks" could allow the rapid design and even production of plastic or electronic parts for ...

As noted, an older park that needs some upgrades. We specifically told them we needed satellite, but didn't have any chance of getting a signal. No cable, but antenna picked up a good number of the free channels like Metv, AntennaTv and local networks. Laundry small but clean. Several machines out of order. Our site had a pond in the street next to us due to heavy rain. Lots of mud. A nice park across the road to walk the dog, and a RV center next door which is convenient for parts or supplies. - fulltimerjan

This is a old campground that we have been to over the past 27 year. It is heavily used. It is in need of a good up grade through out the park. Most sites are in need of a lot of gravel. Our site was muddy from rain last night. Their full time residents have the same problem with mud and water in the holes in the lanes around their area. - Joceil

We spent 5 weeks at this park in Sept-Oct 2016. We paid a monthly rate of $395 + electric. All the sites are pull-through and relatively level, but they are pretty close together. There is a picnic table at each site. Half of the park sites have full-hookups. The other half is just electric and water and they bring a honey-wagon around three days a week and empty your tanks for you. The bathrooms and showers were satisfactory, but not wonderful. They had 5-6 shower stalls with private dressing areas. The laundry room had 8 washers ($1.50) and dryers ($.25/8 min). They seemed to work fine. The pool was closed while we were here, but it looked nice. Pretty quiet although there is a background road noise from the highway that is right there. - mmhopper

Very friendly staff, clean grounds, quiet aside from noise from the interstate. They accommodated us as a walk in when we needed to stay in town unexpectedly. One of the camp guides helped me center my trailer next to the sewer hookup. The laundry room was clean, and not crowded with other people waiting. The only real downside is that the camp spots are very close to each other. Otherwise I felt really pleased with my stay. - RoadPickle

This is a very well-kept KOA. Unfortunately, it is also the absolute loudest KOA ever! It is next to I-70 and there was terrible noise. The rumble strips in Missouri are right on the fog line and all night long we could hear that annoying sound as people drove on the strips, as well as general traffic noise. Our spot was not level, either, but that's not a huge deal. But the noise! I would stay at a WalMart next time. - Eliza C

We camped here in a 45' motor home towing a Jeep. The interior roads are narrow, but there are no trees along the road, so doable. Because this is an older campground there are not a lot of sights for our size rig, thus I would suggest making a reservation as opposed to just showing up if you are long. The campground setting is beautiful rolling hills. There is tons to do in the campground park which is huge and is very convenient to all the Independence and KC attractions. - barbielab

We stayed at this campground for several weeks to see family that lives close by. No discount for extended stay. No amenities. Location is convenient for us. It is basically quiet here as the trains are not an issue for us. The facilities are well worn - 3 washers and dryers often in need of repair - not very clean laundry room. Concrete pad is level. It would be nice if the grass could be mowed more frequently. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. - GailMOH
May 2017 - $31.00
The positives: Concrete level pad, full hook ups, good TV reception, site was spacious and easy to back in. The negatives: wifi was so weak it was unusable, restroom and shower was very old and barely acceptable. - 70 Nole

Pro: walking distance to almost everything, strong wifi, friendly staff. Sites are close together but not on top of each other. Con: most sites are back ins surrounded by trees, nice enough but not satellite friendly and no cable tv. Train noise consistently. - lovinretirement

This is a fantastic park, located near Kansas City, it is the ideal getaway for locals and also a great place for people passing through. Located in the picturesque Fleming Park, the campground overlooks a beautiful lake. The sites are very spacious and there is a lovely pavilion located near the middle of the grounds, where you can have a picnic and enjoy the view. Aside from the central pavilion, every site has its own picnic table and fire ring. There is also a very good playground, right in the middle of the park, which will keep young kids happy for hours. Sites have electricity and there is a very clean and efficient dump station and water fill at the park entrance. There is no Wifi but we had great cell reception, so that was not a problem. The campground attendant was very helpful and came around later in the day to check that everything was Ok. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. The only reason we did not give 10 stars is that most of the sites are not level and require quite a bit of leveling. - hmcity
Sep 2016 - $28.00
If you use I-435 and I-470 to get to park be advised that they have heavy traffic during morning and evening rush hours. We arrived and were assigned a pull thru that "would be easy to level on". After 1/2 hour and using all my boards and leveling jacks I could not level coach and had to move to another site. Be advised this is a very nice park that the county owns/runs but why on earth would most sites not be close to level! Also a pet peeve of mine is when the sewer connection is 10" high off the ground. Why? - Michael Fiehler

Had a great experience. The Owner stopped by to be assured we were satisfied w/our spot and to assure us a picnic table would be forthcoming. She aimed to please.

Great owners and store up front with lots of goodies. Our site was very long but too narrow - no room to sit outside. Utilities fine but wifi was as usual, poor. Over the air TV. Some long-term sites with all the "stuff" that goes with them. - padre

Stayed a month for work purposes. The rate is a monthly rate including electric @18.00 per day. Very nice staff and store. Didn't use the bathrooms but the laundry room was nice. Very quiet CG. Just right for me. I would have rated Country Gardens higher but the WiFi was very spotty which caused some frustration when trying to work. - rskrbina

My wife called several places on a Saturday as I was driving down and this CG owner was the only one to call us back. I work all over the country and this place is PERFECT if you're just stopping by or for work. It's right off of 70 right by the football and baseball fields. I worked on the west side of the city and from where I was on the east it was only a 20 minute ride. The owner made sure the grass was mowed or snow plowed as I stayed 7 months. I called on him a few times and he'd check on my RV if I was home for the weekend and my neighbors were good as well as this is a nice quiet place to stay. Shopping is very close as well. Autumn Falls is a place I highly recommend. Plus after I got here I still checked on other prices and found that no one could beat his price. So check it out for yourself you won't be unhappy. - Steele1
Aug 2016 - $30.00
After staying here for two nights, I would have to say that Autumn Falls is more a mobile home park than a campground or RV park. There are about 40 sites, most of which are used by mobile homes, but a few vacant spaces spread through out the park are used to park RV's. There are no amenities at all; you get a concrete pad between two mobile homes with utilities to park your rig. So if that's all you need, this isn't a bad place to stay. Our TT is 30 AMP but the power box was only 50 AMP so we needed an adaptor. It's only 7 blocks from the KC Royals and Saints stadiums, so it's perfect for sports enthusiasts. But, it's also right along Highway 40, which is very busy from 7AM until dark, then it quiets down a bit. However, I must say that the owner keeps the park in amazing condition. It was very clean, the grass was cut, and there was no junk lying around. He definitely went to the head of the customer service class; I wish more in his position would be just like him. - Love To Travel 2

The manager is the nicest ever of any park in the world! When I pulled in he guided me to the RV site. OK, not unusual, however, he then proceed to do all the hookups--water, electric, and sewer! I can't begin to state the many things that he did to make sure that our stay was pleasurable. He even drove me to a local car rental agency in his own vehicle. The site was level, paved, and all the hookups worked great. Also, the location is perfect, near Royals Stadium, I-70, and close to local restaurants and shopping. - chiro

We have stayed at this park many times. The sites are always clean and very well maintained. They improved the WiFi this year and it works great. Very easy to get in and out. We bought season passes for the kids so they keep busy while Mom Dad/Grandpa Grandma relax. The pool is always clean and the lifeguards are attentive. - John Bristow

Very nice pull through and back in full service 50 amp concrete sites. Has a pool, laundry and store. Excellent wifi, but cable is pretty "fuzzy". Great cell service. Next to amusement park and they offer discounts. There is no noise problems from the park. Highly recommend and will stay here again. - teepee51
Sep 2016 - $43.00
We stayed 4 nights to see some attractions in the area. The park is a short drive from I-435 (Exit 54: Parvin Rd) along a 4 lane paved road that was in good condition. In order to access the park, you have to go through the amusement park's toll booth and pay the parking fee. The fee is refunded at check in if you have the receipt. Sounds pretty complicated. During our stay the amusement park was only open on the weekend so we didn't have to pay the parking fee as we arrived during the week. The park was built on a slope. There was an effort to tier the sites so generally the parking pads were level but some of the entrances and exits from the parking pad could be steep. The interior roads and sites are paved with concrete parking pads. The roads were wide and the turns were easily negotiated by larger RV's. The sites were a mixture of pull through's (in the center) and back ins (along the outer edges). The P/T sites were long enough to stay connected to toads but angle of the entrances could pose a challenge. They have full hook ups - water, electricity (50/30 AMP), & sewer. The connections were generally at the rear of the parking pad. The sewer connection was at the ground so it was easy to establish a downhill flow. Sites had sufficient room for opening slides. Distance and grassy areas establish privacy between the sites. There was a nice outside table but no fire pit. There were no obstructions to the sky so satellite reception was good. Cable channel lineup showed 28 channels. The park provided WiFi was adequate. It was password protected. Our Verizon WiFi hotspot worked well. Didn't try the NET10 phone so don't know about cell phone reception. There was no designated fenced pet area but there was a sufficient distance along the park's roads (but they were up and down a hill) and the side walk along the main road to exercise a dog. There were bag dispensers and collection stations for waste throughout the park. - bsb814

This place is a dump! We could hardly get in the very small sites. We have a small MH with a toad, and didn't think we were going to be able to get out. Units here looked to be temporary, long term and were not pleasant to look at. Believe them to be transient workers or something worse. The price is outrageous for the quality, and all descriptions were certainly misleading and very much in error. If we hadn't been so tired, we would've left! - stonybirch

This park is accessible to I-35, but access to sites is poor for larger RVs. It is an older RV park and is pretty run down. Immediate neighbors are a construction yard and Lowe's store. Streets are narrow and in poor condition. We felt that the rates were misleading in the campground guide as last year was listed as $24. We would not return in the future. - RV Camper1

A vast park with long term and overnight sites. Back in's and pull thru's. My site was long enough to fit my 40' Class A and my 18' trailer still attached. The site was not real level, but I was able to level my rig enough for my needs. Sites are shaded, FHU, 30/50A services. No cable. OTA signals from Kansas available though. My site was close to one of the lakes so that I could see the local geese wander from lake to grass each morning and evening. The pool is about the size of two large olympic-sized pools!!! It has a gradual slope into the pool mimicking a beach, but it is pool surface, not sand. The pool surround needs some upkeep performed, so you are not permitted on the sides to be able to dice into the 9 foot deep end of the pool. There is a fee of $2.00/person/day for use of the pool from 11AM to 7PM daily. There is a mini-golf course that is also fee-based for $5.00/pair of players. The mini-golf course needs some upkeep and maintenance also, but it was still fun to play! The condition of the park is a state of upkeep and in need of maintenance. The location is convenient to Kansas City amenities and the Royals stadium. I would stay here again if in the area.

Don't attempt to access this park in a Class A motorhome or a big rig. It's quite a distance from the highway with low hanging branches. Campground is difficult to get into and to maneuver around. It's dusty. Sites are not level. I wouldn't classify this as a resort. - Sunshine Camper
Sep 2015 - $38.00
Bathrooms were wet and unclean. The roads were gravel and dusty. Was in serious need of updating and maintenance. No WIFI available to most sites. The office was stinky, out of date and dirty. Attendant was not friendly. Would not recommend this to anyone. Resort name hardly fits. The ponds were beautiful there. - DrBonnie
