The Case for Active Management
The stock market will never be perfectly efficient, so active managers—especially diversified stock pickers—will often have opportunities to outperform.
In Brief
- Active management performs a critical role in a capitalist economy: capital allocation. Without active management, capital would not be directed to those who will use it most productively.
- Passive investing is not really passive; it requires investors to make asset allocation decisions, which, in turn, requires weighing forecasted performance of asset classes in light of investment goals.
- Passive investing grew out of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH), the belief that markets are efficient. But markets are not perfectly efficient.
- If they were, market prices would reflect all relevant information, and there would be no incentive for investor to go to the effort of gathering information and trading on it. But if they didn't gather information and trade on it, prices would not reflect all relevant information.
- So, there will often be potential opportunities for active managers to outperform, and research on Active Share shows that a particular type of active management—diversified stock picking—historically has been more likely than others to do so.
There's no question that passive management has made substantial gains in the market for asset management services. According to the Investment Company Institute (ICI) 2014 Fact Book, between 2003 and 2013, net assets in equity index funds rose from 11.4% of equity mutual fund assets to 18.4%. This has led a few commentators to question the role of passive management's opposite number: active management. But they appear too eager to predict active management's demise. After all, more than 80% of U.S. financial assets managed by investment companies are still in actively managed vehicles, according to ICI data.
Still, the trend is clear, so active managers owe it to their investors to make the case for an active approach. Walter Prahl, Lord Abbett Partner & Director of Quantitative Research, takes up the topic.
Active Management: A Social Rationale
It is worth remembering that in addition to the role active management plays in investment portfolios is the role it plays in a capitalist economy. By investing in companies that appear, based on rigorous analysis, to be superior creators of wealth, active managers help direct capital to those who are most likely to use it most productively. The decisions of hundreds of active managers to buy a security, even in the secondary market, combine in the aggregate to reward companies who are believed to be the most efficient users of capital and, therefore are more likely to earn better returns, said Prahl.
Without the activity of these managers, who make exhaustive efforts to research, value, and implement investment decisions, the allocation of capital would not occur in a rational manner. Capital instead could be allocated on some other basis, such as political connections, with the result that most of the capital would be directed to economically unsuccessful ventures.
Similarly, by investing passively—that is, purchasing all stocks in an index without regard for their economic fundamentals—investors reward companies that are poor capital allocators. The positive effect of index membership on a stock's price is well-known.1 Passive investments, therefore, contribute to market prices that are less accurate indicators of a company's true value.
"You can't have successful allocation of capital if everybody in the market is investing passively," Prahl said. "In some sense, those who would question the role of active management are denying the capital allocation aspect of the market."
Why Passive Isn't Really Passive
It also is worth noting that the term "passive management" is, in fact, misleading. True passive investing is not feasible. As author and consultant Cullen Roche has argued, "At the macro level, there is only one portfolio of all outstanding financial assets. If you were a truly 'passive' investor, you would simply buy the total market of financial assets as opposed to trying to pick your own superior portfolio based on assets inside of the aggregate. Of course, that portfolio can't be purchased because that portfolio product doesn't exist."2
In reality, passive investing means picking asset classes. But, like security selection, this is active; it requires developing some thesis about how an asset class is likely to perform and why giving it an allocation of 40%, for example, is better than an allocation of 60%.
Moreover, says Roche, an investor's risk tolerance is likely to change over time, and this will require altering the portfolio's allocation, at least minimally. This is also the decision of an active investor.
"What seems to have happened over time," says Roche, "is that many people who advocate 'passive' indexing seem to have forgotten the most important part of portfolio construction—the actual process and necessary forecasting of the assets you pick to allocate."3
Markets Are Efficient...
The passive approach to investing has deep roots. About 100 years ago, a French mathematician noticed that stock prices appeared to be unpredictable. In the 1950s and 1960s, economists picked up this idea and proposed that markets were unpredictable because they were "informationally efficient." That is, market prices changed rapidly to reflect all relevant information, and because news occurs randomly, market prices also vary randomly. This idea came to be known as the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH).
EMH assumes investors are reasonably intelligent and rational. And when their actions are aggregated in the market, finding stocks that are mispriced becomes difficult. Investors, therefore, will be unable to consistently beat the market, unless they take on greater risk. From an EMH standpoint, therefore, it appears that paying somebody to outperform the market makes little sense.
Some active managers have embraced an alternative view of the market offered by behavioral finance as a way of justifying their approach to asset management. Behavioral finance considers the role that psychological factors—fear, overconfidence, or pessimism, for example—play in investment decisions. These emotions produce certain biases. And because these biases are widespread, they result in poor investment decisions as well as mispricings.
...Up to a Point
Strictly speaking, EMH doesn't hold that markets are perfectly efficient, but investors' views have morphed into that belief over time, according to Justin Fox, author of The Myth of the Rational Market. So, it's not necessary to embrace behavioral finance in order to justify active management, said Prahl.
More than 30 years ago, two economists demonstrated that market efficiency is always in flux and that some inefficiency will always remain even in the most efficient market.
Sanford Grossman and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz showed that if market prices completely reflected all relevant information, there would be no incentive for investors to make any effort to obtain information and trade on it. But if that were true, then market prices would not reflect that all relevant information.
In other words, if investors believe the market is efficient, they won't bother to trade on any new information that appears, and so prices won't reflect that information, meaning the market won't be efficient.
This idea—known as the Grossman/Stiglitz Paradox—means that markets can never be perfectly efficient and that market efficiency is not a static condition: it fluctuates, depending on the extent of the efforts of active managers.
So, how much efficiency is possible? Simply put, markets reach the limit of efficiency when the return on an investment no longer covers the cost of the resources expended in active investing. Active investors may travel around the globe to research a company because they anticipate that those efforts will be compensated with a return that will cover those costs and provide a risk-appropriate return on investment. If those efforts are rewarded less and less, that suggests that these markets are becoming more efficient. If enough active investors then pull back as a result, market efficiency is likely to decline, resulting in mispricings that will again entice them back.
So a market's efficiency is always in flux. And, in fact, the growth of passive investing suggests that market efficiency will decline, resulting in more mispricings that active managers could capitalize on.
There are signs this may be happening in the U.S. market. Bloomberg has reported, for example, that within the S&P 500® Index, the range of valuations of the top 50 companies has become more narrow than at almost any time in the past 25 years. Price-to-earnings ratios diverge from the mean by an average of just 22%, nearly the lowest range since 1990.4
Historically, Diversified Stock Pickers Have Outperformed
How can active managers best capitalize on market inefficiencies? Research by K.J. Martijn Cremers at the School of Management at Yale University and Antti Petajisto, formerly at New York University, has shown that portfolio managers who avoid "index hugging"— have historically had a greater potential to outperform their benchmarks – even after fees are considered. That is, funds whose stock holdings and weightings diverge most significantly from their benchmarks and who, therefore, earn a high score on Active Share have had greater potential to beat their benchmarks.
Follow-up work by Petajisto, which updated the results through the financial crisis of 2008–09, refined this finding. He noted that among funds that score high on Active Share, it is those that are diversified, that is, hedged against macro risks, that have historically been more likely to outperform, even after fees are considered.
On average, these diversified, high Active Share funds, which Petajisto calls "diversified stock pickers," beat their benchmarks by 1.39%, after fees, between 1990 and 2009. Other types of active management, including concentrated funds, sector rotators, and other kinds of market timers, failed to outperform, on average, during this period, after fees were taken into account. (See, "Why Stock Picking Keeps on Ticking," March 3, 2014.)
In our opinion, active management will always be necessary. Without it, capital would not be distributed to its most productive users, and markets would not be as efficient as they are. So, some portion of invested funds will always be actively managed. From an investor's standpoint, then, the question is: Which active managers add most to market efficiency and, therefore, are more likely to earn higher returns? Research on Active Share shows that it is most likely to be those who are willing to venture away from their benchmarks while remaining adequately diversified.

A long day of driving found us in Lisbon, Portugal. We stopped twice, once at a very small town just for a toilet/coffee stop and once for a few hours at Evora for lunch. In Evora, there were some ruins, a church (that was closed) and some souvenir shops.

Herbert Hainer, chief executive of Adidas, admitted yesterday that the German sportswear group would have to significantly sharpen up the shoes and clothing on offer from Reebok, the rival it bought for €3.1bn (£2.2bn) late last year in a move to match the power of Nike.
After five unbroken years of sales and profit growth, Adidas virtually conceded that it had overpaid for Reebok as it reported a fourth-quarter loss due to the costs of acquiring the shoemaker and marketing its brands ahead of this summer's World Cup in Germany.
But Mr Hainer gave a more upbeat outlook for 2006 than Jürgen Klinsmann, manager of the young German team which has been a heavily backed favourite to regain the trophy but went down the previous night to a humiliating 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Italians in Florence.
"Many of our current efforts will now focus on turning around the Reebok brand," Mr Hainer said after announcing that the US-based company had seen orders collapse by 22% by the end of 2005 as American consumers switched to other brands. "The product line needs to be upgraded and improved to better match emerging tastes and needs of today's sporting goods consumers but that will take time," he added.
Mr Hainer insisted, however, that Reebok would be a success story, unlike the winter sports brand Salomon, which Adidas sold last year for €485m to the Finnish alpine sports goods group Amer after several fruitless years trying to turn it around. But news of the need to restructure Reebok sent the group's shares down as much as 4%.
Adidas, famous for the three stripes on its football shirts and shoes, made a net loss of €4m in the final quarter of 2005 compared with a €20m profit a year before and expected profit of €3m. Annual net income rose 31% to €434m compared with €333m.
The group said Reebok sales from the start of February, when the acquisition was completed, would reach some €2.8bn or about 5% less than in 2005. But group sales would be boosted by high double-digit rates, partly thanks to the World Cup, which Adidas officially sponsors. Even so, Reebok is expected to depress group profit margins.

HILLSIDE in Stellenbosch, South Africa by GASS Architecture Studios
September 8th, 2014 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: GASS Architecture Studios
These farmhouse characteristics are not just visual either. Other senses are also stimulated: your scent is stimulated by the smells of the farmlands and rural surrounding as is your auditory sense when you hear the gravel beneath the car's tires. There is a genuine sense of arrival every time you visit Hillside.
Access to the front door is gained from a double-sided staircase from left or right of the gravel arrivals courtyard. This short stairway is a nod to the Colonial influence of traditional Cape vernacular typical to architecture seen in the Cape (many buildings in and around Cape Town like The Castle of Good Hope, the City Hall and Tokai Manor House, for example, boast this kind of double-sided arrival staircase).
As visitor – and homeowner – you are fully aware of the amazing setting but on arriving within the farm yard style forecourt the scale of the house changes from a 3-story to a double volume dwelling – so you don't really get a sense of all the floors and levels. Beyond this point it is by no means farmhouse, well not in the traditional sense of the word anyway. Before walking up the steps to the solid timber double front doors you also have the choice of going downstairs to the guest suites (that are currently being used by the home owner's older children when they're not at university).
A repetitive architectural feature of the house is the many stacked granite stone walls. Most of the stones for these have been harvested from the site. The front door is also situated within one of these granite feature walls. Before entering the house one has no idea what to expect on the other side – it's a kind of tardis with unexpected treasures beyond! As you walk through the threshold you are immediately greeted by a giant picture window showcasing the inner courtyard around which the home is designed and the koppie (small granite hill) to the rear of the house. The koppie (small granite hill), as with the rest of the garden, boasts local fynbos and indigenous flora and a kitchen garden to the side.
From the home owners:
A decked link or walkway joins the studio/ office space with the family's upstairs bedroom wing. The link serves to link private space with public space but is also a day-to-day connection. The link has the open courtyard on one side and a plant-bed with indigenous grasses on the other. Although the link is present on both the top and bottom levels of the house, it serves two purposes: the bottom link, as the entrance hall, makes you aware of the internal space of the house (the internal courtyard and the two distinct wings of the house) whilst the top link makes you aware of your surroundings and the locale.
The more formal sitting room is arranged around a feature fireplace with sliding doors either side accessing the inner courtyard. This then flows onto the dining room and open plan kitchen. The living room boasts slide-away doors measuring 14,5 meters long that totally open this space to the pool and patio deck making it a completely integrated space. In terms of your choice of living spaces this house serves up numerous options both indoors and outdoors. Your outdoor choices are the micro-climated inner courtyard with built-in braai (barbeque) and views of the koppie (small granite hill) or the expansive views of the vineyards, the mountain and the valley from the pool deck. This living room and kitchen level form the "ground floor" and is actually the plinth of the house. Externally this level is further grounded to the site with the use of a further granite wall feature.
The line of the pool deck is unimpeded and connects itself to the vineyards seamlessly in an almost floating effect. The pool deck also features an outdoor dining area with slatted pergola creating lovely mottled light ideal for outdoor dining. Looking from the vineyards towards the pool and deck you notice that GASS Architecture Studios have taken the plinth of the granite wall beyond the building envelope of the house so it runs seamlessly into the elevated land.
The second part of the passage way features floor to ceiling windows bringing the inner courtyard indoors. The main suite is an open space to take in the beautiful views. Timber shutters serve a double purpose of defusing harsh sunlight and also act as a security measure. The customised open plan dressing area features a dressing table area and feature wall that acts as a divider to provide demarcation and privacy, the wall doesn't touch the soffit (ceiling) adding to the openness and flow of the room. The main en-suite has sliding doors that open the entire bathroom to the elements. Flamed-granite floors run seamlessly through the space whilst high quality finishes feature throughout.
Traditional skirting is a pet hate for the GASS team. They have created skirting the same thickness as the plaster walls so they run seamlessly in line with the plaster of the walls. They do include a top and bottom shadowline and are painted the same colour as the walls. Separating the main suite from the younger daughter Isabella's bedroom is a full family bathroom. Isabella's room is a double sized room with play area to one side and bedroom to the other, each with their own doors. This was designed to enable easy conversion into two separate bedrooms at a later stage if necessary.
The Western side of this bedroom wing features an upstairs sitting/ reading room with views of Table Mountain, the vineyards and the most spectacular sunsets. Like the rest of the house this area also includes the sliding timber sunscreens but also a fireplace for chilly winters so the room can be enjoyed in all seasons.

Municipal Wastewater Management in Developing Countries

Bisher € 180,49
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 2006
BeschreibungMunicipal Wastewater Management in Developing Countries discusses various approaches to municipal wastewater management in order to protect both public health and the environment, with the major focus being on waterborne diseases. Developing countries can be divided into two main categories, i.e. countries in transition with higher growth rates where industrialisation and urbanisation are taking place rapidly, and countries with slower growth rates. It is important, therefore, that approaches should be tailor-made and site-specific.
In general, the major trends of water pollution control have significantly contributed to the development of "conventional sanitation" approaches in terms of legal and financial frameworks, as well as technological enhancement. Despite advances in science, engineering and legal frameworks, 95% of the wastewater in the world is released into the environment without treatment. Only 5% of global wastewater is properly treated using "standard" sanitation facilities, mainly in developed countries. As a result, the majority of the world's population is still exposed to waterborne diseases, and the quality of water resources has been rapidly degraded, particularly in poor developing countries.
The challenge now is to provide the world's population, especially the poor, with adequate water and sanitation facilities. Despite billions of dollars of investment spent every year, billions of poor people are still suffering and dying because of poor sanitation. The future scenario, that water resources will be further depleted by a growing world population, will be coupled with environmental degradation due to poor pollution control, particularly in most developing countries.
This book addresses the state-of-the-art of wastewater management in developing countries, from the sustainable sanitation point of view. With contributions from academics and practitioners from both developed and developing nations, it covers conceptual, legal, management, financial, and engineering aspects. Municipal Wastewater Management in Developing Countries will be invaluable reading for postgraduate students, researchers, practitioners, consulting engineers and policy makers.

code as seen in my exectbl.ini:
that restart file command is the most complex gesture i have used but it is more repeatable than the letter gestures and even my simple pgdn stroke. bottom line is: after testing my gestures with the included applet, it seems that RR is a bit too sensitive to suddle differences in my stroke. can this feature be adjusted? i'm open to any other tips and tricks as well.

Tips To Sort Out Linux Booting Issues
Sometimes it happens on reboot the system gets panic or some error message like "init not found" is displayed, preventing from proper booting; then as first step you can try pass init=/bin/bash (Grub boot loader) or linux init=/bin/bash (if Lilo boot loader). This will launch you straight into a Bash shell prompt. Then you can remount "/" file system and check /var/log/messages for any error. You can use the below command to remount "/" as read/write. Kernel panic could be because of a bad cpu or motherboard or bad memory.
#mount -o remount,rw /
If the above steps deos not work, then next option is to
1) Boot from the Linux First CD (boot CD).
2) Type "boot rescue" at Linux boot prompt.
3) After the bash shell prompt show up, type "chroot /mnt/sysimage".
a) Check for any disk error
#fsck -y /dev/sda2
#fsck.ext3 /dev/sda2
check "fdisk -l /dev/hda" to check how many partitions you have
b) If you use Grub boot loader, type "/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/boot". If you use Lilo boot loader, type "cd /etc; lilo".

Some day soon, more than 20 million veterans and their dependents will have a new choice in health care. For the first time in history, doctors of chiropractic will be a part of the mammoth Veterans Administration healthcare system, where they will be checking for subluxations and providing care to former service men and women on a par with medical doctors.
At least that's the idea behind legislation signed by President George W. Bush last January calling on the VA to make chiropractic care available to all vets. Before the first adjusting table is installed, however, a somewhat reluctant bureaucracy must figure out what this upstart profession is all about and how it can best be used in hospitals and outpatient clinics.
While the idea seems simple in theory, there are studies to be completed and questions to be debated before chiropractors can be hired. When it comes to introducing a new idea into the federal government, nothing is simple.
While the final say on details rests with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Anthony Principi, much controversy has swirled around his appointment of a Chiropractic Advisory Committee. The 11-member body—made up of six chiropractors, two MDs, a physical therapist, and a doctor of osteopathy—is charged with issuing recommendations. They must come to grips with sticky issues such as scope of practice, whether chiropractors should be contracted or hired, and whether patients have to get a medical doctor's permission prior to seeing a D.C.
This is new territory for everyone involved, and the committee members are determined to tread carefully.
"We need to make sure we don't jump into this just to get chiropractic's foot in the door," says committee member Dr. Leona Fischer, an Elmhurst, Ill., D.C. and Navy veteran who serves on the World Chiropractic Alliance's International Board of Governors. "If it's done in a haphazard manner it's not going to reflect positively on chiropractic. So the object of the game is to make sure we have looked at what's going to work best to get direct access and deliver quality care."
The committee came together for the first time in September and that meeting was largely consumed with getting acquainted and "housekeeping details," says member Brian Murphy, a PT and clinical manager of rehabilitation at the VA's Salt Lake City facility.
The real work will take place in the coming year as the committee members come to grips with the details of the new program.
It is in those meetings that early congeniality is likely to be sorely tested. The non-D.C.s on the committee frankly admit that their own knowledge of chiropractic is limited.
"That's a concern for me, because I'm not sure how you can advise on something that you have not experienced," observers Fischer.
To help remedy that problem, Committee Chairman Dr. Reed Phillips directed that the first order of business at the December meeting be a mini-seminar on chiropractic. Each D.C. is charged with delivering a presentation on the ins and outs of chiropractic education, practice, and politics for the benefit of their non-D.C. colleagues..
In addition, the committee plans to visit a site where the Defense Department is providing chiropractic services to military personnel.
"Certainly to see how (chiropractic) has been implemented in the military is one part of it, but also I understand we will be able to witness patients being treated," says committee member Dr. Cynthia S. Vaughn, president of the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners. "They'll be able to see patients receiving treatments in the room."
The fact that chiropractic has gotten this far represents a considerable victory. The VA Healthcare System—dominated by medical doctors—has long resisted any inclusion of chiropractic. Many within the medical community are continuing to voice concern over the prospect of D.C.s acting as primary care providers.
The American Medical Association—powered by a $7.3 million lobbying budget—has fought to keep chiropractors from winning the right to be primary care physicians.
The chiropractors themselves must also come to grips with their own widely divergent philosophies. The major associations held together a shaky alliance long enough to shepherd the VA legislation through Congress. No sooner did it pass, however, than the infighting that has long characterized the struggle between straights and mixers flared up.
The ACA argued that members of the advisory committee that participated in the Defense Department's chiropractic project should be reconstituted for service on the veterans' panel. When this proposal was rejected in Congress, each organization submitted their own nominees.
Three members of the Defense committee were named to the new advisory body, but there were also representatives from medicine, osteopathy and physical therapy. To the horror of many D.C.s, even Dr. Charles DuVall, Jr. president of the National Association for Chiropractic Medicine, and a longtime ally of anti-chiropractic QuackWatch founder Dr. Stephen Barrett, was also given a seat.
Dr. Daryl Wills, ACA president, believes that "it is very alarming to me that the (VA) Secretary would also choose to include someone like Dr. DuVall on the committee. He is a divisive force, and, in my judgment, does not want the chiropractic profession to gain additional acceptance, nor does he wish us to make progress in any way. I fear that his appointment is a warning sign that the well-entrenched, anti-chiropractic bureaucracy at the DVA is alive and well, and will be working hard to sabotage or severely limit the scope of the new benefit."
The accusations weren't directed just at the VA bureaucracy. The ACA was also quick to blame the ICA and WCA for this turn of events.
Writing in Dynamic Chiropractic, Garrett Cuneo, ACA executive vice president, charged, "Once President Bush signed the legislation, the agreement was broken by the ICA and the WCA. . . How much of this disunity encouraged the VA to appoint a committee, which appears to have a majority bias against chiropractic, is difficult to document."
Committee members are optimistic that the committee will be able to put aside their differences and make the legislation work.
"I know historically the ICA, ACA and WCA have all had contentious issues, but this meeting was wonderful," contends Fischer. "Everybody was committed to working together for the greater good of chiropractic."
Long-held divisions between the camps are obvious in the struggle over the VA advisory committee.
The ACA wanted to ensure that chiropractors be able to act as primary care providers, diagnosing illnesses and providing services beyond adjustments.
The more conservative groups such as ICA and WCA pushed for a more limited approach that emphasized adjusting the spine and correcting subluxations.
While the results didn't seem to satisfy anyone, in the end it seems that just about every viewpoint is represented.
"If we are indeed going to work in a multi-disciplinary facility, I think it probably is wise for us to have input on how our role will be structured by other professions who will be impacted by this," says committee member Dr. Michael McLean, a Virginia Beach, Va., chiropractor.
McLean believes that differences between chiropractic and the medical approach can be addressed and worked out before the program is launched.
Just how much consensus the committee can reach remains to be seen, but observers say total agreement isn't necessary or even desirable.
"Federal advisory committees are not required to come to consensus," says Sara McVicker, the VA official who serves as manager for the committee. "It's nice if they do, but on the other hand, if you can get all these people with all these views in one room and they all agree, why do you need an advisory committee?"
She predicts that over the next two years, before it expires in 2004, the committee is likely to issue a series of recommendations—some of which may be unanimous, while others come in the form of majority and minority reports championing different points of view.
While the VA is not the first government agency to include chiropractic—D.C.s are already working under contract at various defense department locations—the sheer size and reach of its health care facilities offers tremendous opportunities for exposure. Presently, VA patients have to get a referral from their MD or other provider to see an outside chiropractor under the agency's "fee basis" system.
"If VA doesn't provide a service, we send the vet out to someone who is a private provider—in this case a provider of the patient's choice," says McVicker.
During fiscal year 2001, just 945 patients received chiropractic care during a total of 10,938 visits.
"That really didn't surprise me much given the age of our patient population," explains Murphy. "In my medical center (Salt Lake City) the average age of our patients is 73. Half of the people we treat are over 65."
Murphy—like many in the medical community—believe patients suffering from osteoarthritis and other musculo-skeletal problems common to the elderly are not good candidates for chiropractic care.
While the details of chiropractic care remain cloudy, one thing that is clear is that a growing number of D.C.s will soon be working in the VA system side-by-side with other health professionals. For many of them it will be a new experience that may very well require the development of new skills.
Some observers predict that the long-term effect on the profession could be profound, as chiropractic becomes more closely integrated with the Allied Health Professions.
"It's important to realize that virtually all of the work that will be done in the VA facilities will be done in a hospital context," says McLean.
He believes this experience will have a profound effect on the profession. D.C.s will need to become much more familiar with not only the methods practiced by medical doctors and hospital staffs, but with the nature of patient illness as well.
"There are definitely protocols if you're working in a multi-disciplinary setting," he explains. "Many of the patients will have a variety of problems and may be under a variety of different care providers while they're in the hospital, and we will be one of those. We will have responsibility for receiving referrals, but if a person should have some life-threatening condition, certainly we will have responsibility for making referrals."
It will present a very different environment for most chiropractors, who are more familiar with a solo office practice. This change is also likely to force chiropractic colleges to begin training students in the skills needed to function within a hospital setting.
"I'm certain it will make a big change in the preparation of chiropractors," he predicts. "I'm not saying it will change our scope, but we have to be more aware of what other practitioners do, and we have to be more open for professional interaction."
That professional interaction may also change the way the medical community views chiropractic as well. With more than half of all medical physicians receiving their training in VA hospitals, D.C.s have an unprecedented opportunity to build relationships that can be carried outside the VA.
"For these providers to receive training in a facility where there are chiropractors working will literally change their view of the chiropractic profession," says McLean.
Clearly, the opportunities for chiropractic are great, and perhaps that explains the passion that surrounds the push to inclusion in the VA. Much still remains in doubt, but to a greater extent then ever before, the profession has been extended the promise of greater acceptance. What D.C.s are able to do with that promise is now up to them.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My cousin is on unsupervised probation for dwi, he then recieved a dwlr. What is likely to happen jailtime wise? Hes a head of household has no help in the immediate area with the child he has. So if he goes to jail his child will got to a foster home, and he has no criminal history other than the dwi.he doesnt have a probation officer, he did contact the probation office and they said hes not on the books there because hes on "unsupervised" probation
Probation supervised or unsupervised will probably have a reporting requirment of another arrest as a violation of the original probation.Failure to report an arrest while on probation is a violation of probation itself. Please have your cousin consult his/he original attorney for advise on how to proceed.Your cousin should not go to court without a Lawyer!
Victor Carmody
781 Liberty Rd.
Flowood Mississippi 39232
His probation on the original DWI could potentially be revoked as a result of his second arrest. This of course would depend on the prosecutor handling the case and if they decide to revoke his originial probation.
I also agree with Vic, in that a failure to report the second arrest to the probation office could result in another probation violation.
In any case, your cousin needs to seek experinced counsel to help him through this and to potentially minimize any damge.Ask a similar question

E. Wallingford Pianist Spotted at W. Wallingford Church, Parishioners Call Treason
An angry mob gathered today outside the East Wallingford Law Courts demanding that Edith Vicarsmate be tried for treason, and, when found guilty, punished to the maximum extent of the law. Ms. Vicarsmate, 56, has been the East Wallingford Church Pianist for the last 28 years, succeeding to the post after the previous pianist, Walter Eisenherz, eloped with the Postmistress General.
The story broke when deFenestrate Fotheringgay, president of the PHATties (East Wallingford's Public Humiliation and Tomfoolery society, formerly the trickery, waggery and tomfoolery club) organised a stunt in the West Wallingford Church of St. Physeter intended to be videoed and sent in to the popular television show You've been Maimed! We spoke to deFenestrate outside his parent's ancestral pile next to the East Wallingford Golf Club and Sewage Works.
"Well yes, we'd rigged the church piano so that the lid would fall down during the third hymn, Jerusalem, I think, but we'd glued springs to it as well so it would basically bounce up and down on the pianist's fingers. Would have been a bloody good laugh. I say, you're not really going to call us Phatties, are you?"
The stunt went as planned, and the video camera successfully retrieved by deFenestrate's brother deLicatessen, and it was while it was being reviewed that another Phattie spotted that the West Wallingford pianist was none other than Edith Vicarsmate.
Ms. Vicarsmate, her hands in casts from the multiple breakages to her fingers caused by the bouncing piano lid, looked pale and scared when we called on her for an interview, and would only say that she acted out of Christian charity. Which, of course, we don't believe. She had the bones of small children stuffed down the sides of her sofa and [redacted: Ed]
Justice Frederick Coombes, asked to comment, opined that Ms. Vicarsmate could not be tried for treason as East Wallingford does not have a reigning monarch. The Mayor, Jason Eisenherz, perked up at this point and asked if that was an elected position.

Your community inbox should show up in the upper right of all pages. For the email account on the helpdesk this wouldn't be very useful as items are moved to the deleted items as soon as the ticket is created, the unassigned tickets widget would be more useful. You can set the interval that SW checks email to be very short if needed, default is every five minutes I think.

text: So the night of my last blog post, I went to a party at one of the guys rugby apartment – with a theme of neon. I was wearing a crop top and high waisted shorts … Not too sure how secure I felt about my outfit but it was the only neon stuff I had. Last time this party was so crowded (I need to blog about that night tomorrow, very eventful) but this time it was a lot more intimate. Instead of crowded people pushing each other, we just had a bunch of people we knew. We started the night trying a dance party and then that fizzled out and we all just went in the back room and sat and drank casually. I ended up seeing Sean back there and he said hi and came over and sat next to me. We talked the whole entire night, literally the whole night and I found a lot about him and know him better now. I like him as a person and the conversation was easy. We left together and went to his apartment. He obviously wanted to have sex but I told him I wasn't like that… I don't wanna get hurt and have more respect for myself. He kept trying to convince me and then after I kept saying no, he stopped and apologized for trying to push it. I slept over (-___-) but it was cute. I was wearing all his clothes and he's all muscular and hot so I did not mind it at all. Waking up I was like what the fuckkkkk but I wasn't that drunk … Obviously knew what happened and I was happy I told him no. I had to do the walk of shame but I did it at like 730 so not too many people saw me. Jessica texted me with a picture of my empty bed asking where I was like poking fun. I had to tell her and she said she wasn't mad but keeps jokingly calling me a back stabbing whore.. Like KEEPS though. It's so excessive I don't even know what to do. Last night we were talking again and she came in and saw us and gave us an evil eye and tweeted at me that I was a slut. Again, she's joking but chill. Like Sean saw it and thought she's freaking crazy. He said he doesn't want to get involved so me and him might be done now :/ it sucks and it's stupid but whateverrr. Hate this.

The second, and last, of the Pennsylvania-class "super-dreadnought" battleships, the USS Arizona was built by, and for, the US Navy in the 1914. It was commissioned in 1916, though remained stateside during World War I. The Arizona was regularly used for training exercises, was sent to California in 1933 to provide aid for an earthquake that struck the Long Beach area, and was also featured in the 1935 film, Here Comes the Navy, starring Jimmy Cagney. She was transferred to Pearl Harbor in 1940, along with the rest of the Pacific Fleet, in an attempt at deterring Japanese imperialism. The morning of December 7, 1941, the Arizona was sunk during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The majority of her bulk still lies in Pearl Harbor, and a memorial to the USS Arizona and those who died during the attack was dedicated as the USS Arizona Memorial, May 30th, 1962.

Peter & Paul Church logs 40 years in ministry By DOUG LOVEDAY Managing Editor He has served as shepherd of the Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church flock for more than IO years, but Monsignor Eugene O'Callaghan has been a servant of God and his fellow man for many more years. Father O'Callaghan is celebrating 40 years in the ministry this year — 40 years in which the challenges have changed but the drive and will to serve have not. "I think that call to help others is still there for me, even after 40 years," O'Callaghan said. That perseverance and dedication is proof, he diinks, of the genuineness of his calling. It was in Cork, a rural county in Ireland, that (^'Callaghan discovered the importance of family and Christian values, he said. ''There, I was seeing a lot of the natural law of God. The values I grew up with were very strong," he said. And today, the 65-year-old pastor of Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church is even more convinced of the sacred and vital role families play in our lives. ''When I came to Texas 40 years ago, die word divorce was not the normal thing to hear, or the happy thing to do at all," he said. ''Now we have Herald-2 Monsignor Eugene O'Callaghan has served at Sts. Peter & Paul years. a lot of single-parent families in the church. We have to train ourselves better to help them as much as possible. "We are in a terrific journey through life, and MICHAEL DARNALL lurch for 10 everyone must be taken by the hand and helped along die journey, whether they are single parents or not." Father O'Callaghan attended seminary in Ire land and accepted a call to ministry in San Anto- < mo in 1955. He next served the Church in Victoria before' moving on to Palacios and the Portland-Port * Lavaca areas, he said. He was pastor of a church in Schulenburg-, before returning to San Antonio. It was IO years * ago that he joined the Sts. Peter A Paul Catholic • Church family. - -t "Ne benefitted from serving with the mufti-eth-.-mc groups in Texas. There's a great richness no people's origins," he said. One of the things he's done is recruit Catholic' priests for the Archdiocese in San Antonio, but his service to his fellow man has been his most fulfilling work. "I've seen people's lives change as a result of the Word of God. That's an exciting thing and is very rewarding to see. "I have done nothing fantastic or extraordi-. nary in my life, but what talents God has given me, I hope I've used those satisfactorily," he! said. ~ Father O'Callaghan has given 40 years of service to God, the Church and others, but he's not through just yet. "I hope I'll be able to stay here and help the people at Sts. Peter A Paul," he said. A stranger in the house \ 4 J % Isla Giefer Daniels By ISLA GIEFER DANIELS Special to the Heraid-Zeitung (Note: I am the mother of five children, 4 of which are girls. We had a happy, sane, almost a storybook family until our oldest daughter became a teen-ager. / began to talk to God quite a bit but He never seemed to answer me until the day / sat down with pen and paper. The need arose for me to write a speech for a speech contest. I was at my lowest point as a mother— the mother of a child I no longer knew. As the words began to flow into the paper, / knew this was God's way cfi answering my questions. This is my gift to you— you who have a stranger in your \ house.) A cool, damp morning in February, clad in nightgown and robe, thinking I heard a noise, I quietly opened her bedroom door. There, covered in blankets up to her chin, lay a lovely looking 15-year-old girl. I don't know her well, although she has been living here about three years. She seems to have this strange plower over us! We find ourselves running errands for her, taking her where she wants to go, waiting up for her when she comes in late. We feed her, clothe her and give her money. We listen to her deafening music, her bad grammar and boisterous voice. Who is this stranger with such powers? I checked up on her recently. Her birth certificate shows she belongs to us SOMETHING IS WRONG! Yes, we did have a daughter—sweet, canng, quiet talking, proper grammar, appreciated good music and polite. But she left three years ago, about the time this stranger moved in. As I look at her lying there, I think back, trying to remember the day she came and our little girl left. Perhaps her room will give mc a clue as to what happened to our little girl. The waterbed! Maybe we accidentally tossed our little girl out with the old bed and this one came with the waterbed! Or did it happen when the rock star posters were tacked on the wall, or the "Do Not Enter" sign was put on the door. That was it! She did a switch on us when we put the telephone in the room and the "Do Not Enter" sign was put on the door! This saddens me. What happened to our little girl and why did this granger have to move in? I miss my little girl. I don't know how I missed it, but there on her pillow lay an envelope. As I looked closer it read, "A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN." Oh, it couldn't be! How did it get there? Was that the noise I heard? Carefully I picked it up and quietly left the room, closing the door behind me. I walked downstairs, sat on the sofa and with trembling hands I opened the envelope. In it was a letter, A LETTER FROM GOD! "Dear Parents, It is time you knew—that stranger you are keeping is My child. Yes, she is that same little girt you held in your arms when she was bom. She has changed, hasn't she! Don't be foolish. You never lost your daughter, for how can you lose something that isn't yours to begin with? She belongs to Me, as you belong to Me. You are her parents because that was part of My plan, not yours! I know there are times you wonder why you chose to be parents—I am here to tell you, I am the Almighty and you had no choice! I may sound firm but I do all out of love. Everything I give is a miracle. You are a miracle and your child is a miracle, both bom out of love—My love. There comes a time I have to claim My children—prepare them for what is ahead. This is what is done in what you call the teen-age years. I know it is confusing but it has to be that way. Their struggle makes them stronger and all you have to do is have faith in Me. lf you look in the Book I had written, it is in Luke, chapters 2-4. There it shows how even Jesus pulled away from His earthly parents and they did not understand either. He was 12 years old when they took a trip to the temple and Jesus stayed. His parents searched for Him and His mother said, 'Son, why have you done this to us? I have been searching for you in sorrow.' He said, 'Why did you search for me? Did you not know I had to be in My Father's house?" But they did not grasp what He said. Your child is pulling away f?om you also. She does not understand, as Jesus did, but how can she belong to Me is she is still clinging to you? There will come a time when I will let her know I am her Father, just as I did when Jesus was baptized. (I came down and announced, 'You are My beloved Son—on You my favor rests.') Let me warn you, times will not be easy for her, but I don't ask anything of her that I didn't ask of Jesus. Before He could do My will, I set temptations before Him. I sent the greatest of temptations, Satan, to tempt Him, but as I did this, I never once left His side as I will never leave your daughter's. The Holy Spirit was with Him while He was in the desert and he was tested to the greatest lengths but He chose Me over evil. At that point, I knew He was ready. So do not fret about temptations that lay ahead for her. I will be there and she will choose for herself. You cannot make the decision for her but you can have faith in Me. I am the Almighty who loves you and her. I know what I am doing. Now that I have spoken to you, I ask but one more thing. Keep loving her as I take her hands in mine, for through love she will know I am her Father." Carefully I put the letter down. I walked upstairs, opened the door which said "Do Not Enter." I looked at her lying there. She didn't look like a stranger anymore. I bent over, kissed her warm cheek and said, "Wake up, Princess." Life passes quickly and lives are changed in an instant Daily Bi Dennis Gallaher This past Saturday, the sirens of summer were beginning with a vengeance in our neighborhood located on the banks of the Guadalupe River. Following the first ambulance scream came a second, then a third and a fourth. From the yard where we watched, it was obviously not your normal river accident. Something serious must have taken place. Something that required much attention. It turned out to be another cliff jumper. Jumping off of the cliff into the water is quite a sport to the tourists who really don't believe there is much, if any. real danger. Every year though, there is at least one paraplegic and often a death when someone hits the water wrong. There doesn't seem to be any way to convince people to stop. They climb over fences, risk arrest, tear down signs and conquer all fear to jump from that stupid cliff. And that is what he did...hit the water wrong, surfaced for a moment, and then slipped under the water and drowned. Twenty-two years old, married, too young for this to happen. But it did and now they searched for his body under the shadow of the cliff. The scene was morbidly carnival-like. By now the homeowners' park was filled with ambulances, emergency vehicles, water rescue personnel, newspeople, and onlookers who wanted to know what happened. The search went on for some time while the truth slowly gnpped the man's friends who huddled together comforting one another in shocked refusal. The anguish of it all entombed them with grief and unbelief. What had started out as a day on the river was now the worst day of their lives. How could this have happened? But the rest of the people. They were mostly curious and just part of the scene. The professionals were detached. The rescue personnel simply doing their job. The funeral home people kindly resigned to the task. And the onlookers standing and stanng. Not connected to the fact that a person was now dead. Those who were enjoying a nice day on the river watched as the lifeless figure was hauled into the rescue boat and carted to shore. And then, as if nothing had happened, the place in the river where the body had come from was almost instantly taken over by rafts and tubes from upstream. It was like looking for the hole after you throw a rock in the water. Within seconds, nothing lingers to suggest the event. By now, hundreds have passed over the very place that he died. And yet there are no flowers, no white crosses, no memorials, no fear of interrupting a sacred place of death. Just another bend in the river. That's how quickly life passes. How abruptly it can end. How unfair and decisive death is. In a moment of time you are traveling along with hundreds of others looking for the good times and a little excitement The next moment' you are in eternity. Your only baggage being the response of your life to your Heavenly Maker. Naked you came and naked you will go. * In an instant that young man tubing down the river with his friends came before God. In an instant he experienced more reality than in his entire lifetime. He saw God nose* to nose. Death did not wait for him to be prepared. It did not warn him. It did not steady his gaze. It never spoke before it took. And so a family is in deep grief this week. A vacation to the Hill Country became a tragedy beyond belief. This week was filled with hastily made plans for a tragic funer-^ a1 for a man too young to die. Ongoing anguish. But life just goes on for us. This weekend the Guadalupe will be filled with tourists. More than one will at least attempt a jump off the cliff. Thousands will pare over' the place of tragic death without even a thought that we are always just one breath way from eternity. But it doesn't have to be that way. No sir, not for a moment. Somewhere in Indiana there is a tombstone over a hundred years old that bears this epitaph: "Pause, Stranger, when you pass me by, As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so you will be, So prepare for death and follow me." An unknown passerby had read those words amt scratched this reply below them: "To follow you I'm not content Until I know which way you went." Which way are you headed today? Are you just a part of the carnival of life, an onlooker to the tragedies who doesn't know your own frailty? What would you My if your next breath was of celestial air? What would your first thought be if today you came face to face with your Maker? Someone once said that a man cannot die will unless he' has lived well and a man cannot live well unless he knows how to die well. To die well is to die already at peace with. * God. To die well is to know the comfort of having a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is really no more corticated than that. So think about it, won't you? Because I really care about where you're headed. Step out of the crowd of onlookers for a moment to really look where you are; headed. Now is the time to prepare for when you get;, there. Because once you are face to face with God, it's toor late to get ready. i>\ (Dennis Gallaher is pastor af Freedom Fellowship'' Church in New Braunfeb.)

Traditionally, I have my scanning of the network set to 9:00am everyday and it usually stops by 12:30/1:00. Over the past week, it hasn't stopped unless I do it manually. Can someone help me with this?

Ever since upgrading to beta 3 from the stable release, ive also experienced "longer than usual" scanning times. On a network of over 500 items, it takes my network about 2+ days to scan them all.
It would appear that Lt. Uhura has left all hailing frequencies open captain.
However, ive noticed an increase in systems detected. So perhaps this is the "fixed" version of the scanner ?
Im optimistic -=)
Jun 10, 2008 at 9:41 UTC
Space Monkey, thanks for your input. I'm still on version 2 but your idea about the amount of nodes being detected has me thinking. My last report told me that I have 484 nodes being monitored by Spiceworks and I have a total of 12 networks (VLAN's) being scanned. Maybe it is a matter of having enough nodes and networks to scan causes the scan to continuously run. The good news is, it's not causing any performance problems.

(Re-posted and expanded from the original Facebook entry.)
Enjoyed one of the best days of my life yesterday, swimming in the shadow of the immense megaliths collectively known as "Los Gigantes" - a five kilometer stretch of volcanic massifs topping out at 900 meters, each spreading out into the Atlantic in astounding convultions of geometry. At the Masca massif, our catamaran anchored and we were given 15 minutes to dive into the deep, hypnotic blue. As predicted yesterday, being dwarfed by the immensity of these aggressively echt cliffs, and simultaneously engulfed in such profound beauty, was utterly exilarating...

Episode 16
***Elysium System, Bridge of the OWAS Helios***
The nervous sensor operator double checked his sensor readings as his stomach worked itself into a knot. The anticipation of being on the brink of a major action was getting to him. Trying to run silent but not blind while hiding in the asteroid belt was slow tedious work and not helping to pass the time. However, the results of these scans could not be mistaken; even a cadet in training could make them out. Two UEE Hornets have entered the asteroid belt and are heading towards their location. "Sir! Two Hornets just entered the Asteroid belt!"
"Very well, keep active sensors silent. Signal all craft to prepare to fire transponder homing missiles, with the UEE transponder code marked as enemy." Malachi, calmly gave orders to his crew. He needed to ensure destruction of these fighters before they could get enough information to blow the cover on their ruse. Based off the vectors being fed to the captains command console, he saw an opportunity to fire all missiles without being seen, using the weak gravity of a large asteroid to curve the missiles towards their targets. "Helm, put the asteroid I tagged on the console between us and the vectors provided by the passive sensors. Targeting, follow the targeting solution plotted on the command console, fire missile volley at two clicks out"
The next couple of minutes were passed with absolute silence outside of the gentle rumble of the engines and the low hum of electronics. Right on schedule the Helios and its escorts launched a large salvo of missiles into the darkness of space. Several seconds after firing, the missiles passed close to the large asteroid, their flight path bending in its gravity. Soon the missiles disappeared around the opposite side of the asteroid.
Malachi engaged the communication system and gave the order to begin their attack "Helios to all craft, execute flight plan, NOW!" Within seconds all of the craft engaged thrusters. Their positioning allowing them to get a gravity assist from the asteroid.
The UEE Hornets picked up the signal from the transmission and turned towards the asteroid and increased their thruster power. While their pilots did not capture the message itself, it was confirmation that their enemy was out there. Seconds later their warning systems came to life in a panicked array of beeps and warning tones.
The missiles' velocity was fast enough that they did not remain in orbit and as they climbed away from their orbit of the asteroid their guidance sensors quickly picked up on the hornets. The logic programmed into each missile's targeting system detected the flight path of the other missiles and both Hornets ended up with a nearly even spread of missiles locked onto them. The pilots of the Hornets in a fearful hopeless panic each began evasive maneuvers.
The Helios made visible contact with the Hornets just moments before the missiles impact. As the missiles began to strike the fighters in rapid succession, the crew of the Helios watched as one of the pilots attempted to eject. This escape attempt came too late. The reactor core of the fighter ruptured, a flash of superheated plasma exploded out from the craft, rapidly overtaking and consuming the pilot. O'Brian watching from the bridge of the Helios said a silent prayer for the pilot, hoping that death came quickly and painlessly. O'Brian reflected on how just a short time ago these pilots that he just saw vaporized were brothers in arms, and now they both would attempt to give each other the same lonely cold death in the darkness of space. O'Brian wondered just what he was fighting for, and if his own desire for revenge against Shaw has turned him into a monster as well. How many people will die today because of his desire for revenge?
The sensor operator broke the silence with a hint of fear and nervousness in his voice, "Sir, I detected no transmission from the fighters, they were taken completely by surprise. Only a small debris field remains of the two fighters"
Malachi, smiled and looking rather pleased responded, "Very well. All crew are to remain on combat stations. Fighters move ten clicks ahead as a forward screen. Orders are to fire at targets and keep them off of the Helios, but do not engage in prolonged dog fights until we begin our run on the Artemis. Bring all sensors online and let's start getting a picture of what is out there"
Within minutes active sensor signals flooded out from the Helios, within minutes various ships in the system detected the Helios and its flight vectors. A swarm of communication traffic spontaneously erupted. The point of no return had been reached. There was no avoiding the coming deadly contest, and the blood already shed would quickly be added to…
