Assessment of Health Impacts of Heatwaves in Brisbane, Australia : How to Best Define A Heatwave?
Tong, Shilu, Wang, Xiaoyu, & Barnett, Adrian G. (2009) Assessment of Health Impacts of Heatwaves in Brisbane, Australia : How to Best Define A Heatwave? In Epidemiology, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Dublin, S59-S59.
Background and Objective: As global warming continues, the frequency, intensity and duration of heatwaves are likely to increase. However, a heatwave is unlikely to be defined uniformly because acclimatisation plays a significant role in determining the heat-related impact. This study investigated how to best define a heatwave in Brisbane, Australia. Methods: Computerised datasets on daily weather, air pollution and health outcomes between 1996 and 2005 were obtained from pertinent government agencies. Paired t-tests and case-crossover analyses were performed to assess the relationship between heatwaves and health outcomes using different heatwave definitions. Results: The maximum temperature was as high as 41.5°C with a mean maximum daily temperature of 26.3°C. None of the five commonly-used heatwave definitions suited Brisbane well on the basis of the health effects of heatwaves. Additionally, there were pros and cons when locally-defined definitions were attempted using either a relative or absolute definition for extreme temperatures. Conclusion: The issue of how to best define a heatwave is complex. It is important to identify an appropriate definition of heatwave locally and to understand its health effects.

Investigation into Alachua County Commission
Published July 19th, 2011
Loading Video...
It's now technically an "investigation." The State Attorney's Office review of whether there were sunshine law violations during certain Alachua County Commission meetings has changed.
Spencer Mann of the State Attorney's Office says the "review" has become an "investigation." Although that does not necessarily imply any wrongdoing. The change means that investigators will be able to use additional legal tools to look into the allegations.
Critics say the commission has violated sunshine laws by formulating a consensus on issues during informal "discussions" held before formal meetings.

So, my dad came home the other day with a 29 gallon tank! :bounce: it came with a t12 light and hood, a whisper filter, and clown puke gravel.
so the tank is technically my younger brother's tank, he'll be buying the stuff, but ill be maintaining and scaping it so im claiming it as mine. since he is paying for the stuff, we are just going to keep the hood, even though its not the most attractive thing ever.
it is going to be very lightly planted, with tea-colored water. this is my inspiration http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...0&tx=128&ty=34 i found a nice stump and some smaller sticks of driftwood at the creek, they have been soaking and are just about ready to go into the tank. and i'll have some leaf litter around the wood.
i'm thinking indian almond leaves, because i cant think of any others.
for substrate im going to use PFS
im getting a hydor theo 150W heater.
the light is a t12 light. new plant and fishtank bulb.
the filter is a whisper filter
for plants i have a few small amazon sword plantlets. i might add floaters along the lines somewhere
the stocking is as of now is
-1 pair of angelfish
-6 cardinal tetras
-6 otos
-1 albino BN pleco
i threw the driftwood, before soaking, in the tank with the clown puke, just to get a hardscape in mind before soaking the wood. the green leaves are there to show where the leaf litter will be.
this picture is terrible. excuse the glare
im going right now to wash the sand!
Scape looks very nice
thanks :D i just hope i can do the same thing again after i switch substrates
I know, I have the same problem. I think you will come up with something pretty close. Use the photo as a guide.
2 Attachment(s)
I think it's going to look good!
thanks brad :D me too
2 Attachment(s)
I'm almost tempted to do something similar in my 29. I have the correct fish for an amazon biotope. I just don't want to get rid of my plants. lol
you should
2 Attachment(s)
I probably will end up doing it, but it will be a while. All the driftwood I see is expensive and I'm sort of low on funds at the moment.
justgo to the local creek. i found mine :D
Hardscape = Amazing
You're entering this into the AGA contest, right?
you got that right jake! this one will be easy to make look great! * knock on wood* i dont have to worry about plants. i cant wait.
2 Attachment(s)
i soak it, then empty, soak with bleach, scrub, soak again. then its safe, but floating can be a problem sometimes. but this time most of them are already water soaked

The Kenny G Pro-Am will be on Wednesday, among other events leading up to Thursday. That's the day when the official Honda Classic tournament tees off.
Tiger Woods, a Jupiter Island resident and the number two golfer in the world, will battle it out against number one golfer Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood, Keegan Bradley, Dustin Johnson and others.
Click here for full details on the Honda Classic.
Birdies for Children
Donate to the Palm Beach County Food Bank or your choice of several other local charities that benefit kids, and maybe win a car. Your donation allows you to guess the correct total number of birdies shot at this week's Honda Classic.
A birdie is a score of one stroke better than par for any golf hole. Par is the average expected score for any given hole. PGA pros are expected to make between 1,000 and 1,500 birdies during the Honda Classic.
You can take part through Wednesday.

Other then that. Good works!
Yea figured out my microphone so these next tutorials that I've made have good audio quality.
Thanks :)
Nice video!!!
Thankyou Sickness....

Have fun, I am taking some classes at my local university too.
One week from today!!!!
So I decided to tackle a 2 year Associates degree at my local community college. I opted to get my degree in Network Administration. Since they don't offer a class called "Everything you need to be a Ethical Hacker" or something obvious like that,..I opted for this. Is it a good choice?? I have prided myself on my unique ability to be self taught and to be able to apply that knowledge. Now I want to step it up and be the best wireless security or best network Admin that I can possibly be. I'm 31 years old and droped out of high school to join the Army National guard at 17. Then I got my GED in 2000. I passed my entrance exams with flying colors..all except algebra. So I have to take 3 semesters of remedial algebra untill I can take algebra 101. I haven't any clue if what I chose is right to be a penetration tester...but its all that I saw that my community college offered. There were some cert classes...but to tell you the truth..I don't have a lot of faith in myself to be able to pass any certs....yet.
So over the next 2 years my attendance here will be cut dramatically. I apologize in advance to everyone for my soon to be lack of presence here on forum.remote-exploit.org. But rest assured, I will be on as often as I possibly can. I have classes Monday and Wednesday from 10-2:30PM and Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00AM-4:30PM.
Wish me luck everyone. And any advice or encouraging words or help on what certs or alternative degree plan would me much appreciated. Thanks guys for encouraging me to strive to be the best here, at college and beyond.

Have fun, I am taking some classes at my local university too.
Glad to not be the only old fart going back to school J/K!
I am 30 also and I love it. I have been told to get a decent job will have to continue another 2-3 year for BS but I am going to focus on getting my Associates (Information System Security) and CCNA and any other certs I can get on the way. Then hopefully get my foot in the door somewhere and start making some cash to pay all this freaking child support ;P and hopefully buy a decent computer sometime. I would like to get CCNP CCIE one day down the road.
Good luck and if there is anything I could possibly help out with just let me know! I think you will enjoy some of it hate some of it but overall it will defiantly be a good move!
15" MBP 8 gigs o ram 256 gig SSD in drivebay + 256 gig 5400 HD

Well good luck to you man, I applaud your effort. I did something similar, I went to school to get the AS and the MCSE, so I could get past the resume and into the interviews.
Now I know that I should have just stuck it out and skipped the MCSE. I did enjoy my college experience, but by the time I was out, I had plenty of work without the MCSE. And, sadly realized after the fact, most of my best skills came from real world experience and not my bookwork.
So in my path to become a security professional, I have chosen to teach myself the things I need to meld my store bought skills with my homebrewed ones and make it work.
Good luck again, it'll be less fun without you around as much, I enjoy reading your posts.
"Linux is user-friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends are."
"Linux users swear by their OS, and Windows users swear at their OS."
Must be in the air. I was going through college back in 2000 to get my MCSE, then I got activated. Full time student and more than full time military don't mix. Going back this fall to get my CCNA.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Congrats. I was just talking to my boss today about possibly starting a summer intern program where I can get a decent kid from one of the local High Schools to come in and help me out. That way someone that wants to get into IT can see what it's really like, and see the kind of shit ya gotta deal with on a day to day basis.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Good luck mate, and don't go chasing too many of those fine college women
Good luck and go for it

Selling Stock 2012 tires/wheels! $550 OBO
2 Attachment(s)
I'm in Tucson
I just got a different set of tires so i'm looking to sell the stock set.. These tires have only 817 miles on them! (the spare of course has zero miles on it) The tread is pretty much all there, (98%)
There is nothing wrong with the tires at all. The tires are 29" Goodyear Wranglers and the wheels are 16" Silver Alloy Jeep rims. The rims are a 5x5 bolt pattern.
There are no tears or gouges in the tires and no scratches in the wheels. These tires have absolutley not seen any type of off-roading. When switching tires I did take out the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) which is not hard to replace.
Asking $550 OBO for the whole set.
Thanks for looking!
Pics of what they looked like on my Jeep.

Protect in Style
The first thing this stuff does is keep your devices safe from harm. The second thing it does is make your devices look good. It's like if you had a security guard who knew how to pick you out the perfect shirt everyday. (Which is a side job I do; send me a message if you're interested.)
Ends on December 31 at 9AM CT

Greetings from Charlottesville, where I covered a riveting women's college match last night in a pounding rainstorm and will see a storied men's conference rivalry come to a close tonight.
First, the women's game: Top-ranked Virginia remained perfect on the season through 13 matches with a 3-2 overtime victory over ninth-ranked Notre Dame.
My match report is available here.
Video of the controversial golden goal — did the ball cross the line? was there a handball on the line? — is available toward the end of this video package.
[UPDATE: I was able to view new video of the play this morning. Still not 100 percent conclusive, but the assistant referee is perfectly positioned on the goal line, the initial shot strikes the outstretched arm of the Notre Dame player and the goalkeeper's touch appears to push it over the threshold before the ball is cleared.]
Tonight, Virginia and Maryland collide in the regular season for the final time as ACC men's rivals. (The Terps are heading to the Big Ten next year.) They could still meet in the league tournament next month, or perhaps in the NCAA tournament. And there is always the possibility of non-conference matches between the teams in the future. Tonight, though, ends an era between regional nemeses.
Maryland and Virginia have combined for one-third of the NCAA titles since 1989 (eight of 24) and seven of the past 11 ACC championships.
Both the fifth-ranked Terps and No. 23 Cavaliers enter the evening with seven-game unbeaten streaks.
In the D.C. area, Comcast SportsNet will provide live coverage, starting at 7 p.m. ESPN3.com will carry a live stream.
*The U.S. national team will play its penultimate World Cup qualifier tonight against last-place Jamaica at sold-out Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. (6:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, UniMas, WatchESPN).
While the match carries no consequences for the qualified Americans, it is not meaningless, as some would say. Juergen Klinsmann has only five FIFA fixture dates between now and the World Cup, so any opportunity to gather most, if not all, of his first-choice players without club protest must be seized. (The Americans would also like to finish atop the hexagonal for the third straight time: They would seal that feat with a victory in K.C. and a Costa Rica loss at Honduras.)
The U.S. roster has undergone changes since Klinsmann unveiled the list Sunday:
Center backs Michael Orozco and Clarence Goodson, as well as midfielder Brad Davis and forward Chris Wondolowski, are in. Defender Omar Gonzalez (hip injury) and forward Eddie Johnson (groin) are out. Klinsmann now has 22 players at his disposal for tonight and Tuesday at Panama. (Additional changes are possible between matches.)
With Clint Dempsey missing this get-together, Tim Howard will wear the captain's armband. Michael Bradley was also scratched as he recovers from an ankle injury.
Earlier today in Kansas City, the U.S. Soccer Federation will induct three new members into the National Soccer Hall of Fame: Peter Vermes, Joe-Max Moore and New York Times columnist George Vecsey.
*D.C. United official injury report heading into Saturday night's home match against Philadelphia: Defender Dejan Jakovic (groin) and midfielder John Thorrington (calf) are out, while defender Ethan White (knee) in questionable. Captain Dwayne De Rosario is on a Canadian national team assignment.
The Union is down two defenders: Fabinho (red card) and Sheanon Williams (yellow cards).
DCU off-field news:
Predictably, as Post colleague Jonathan O'Connell writes, United is facing resistance to build a stadium at Buzzard Point.
After a one-year absence, the club has reached agreement to return to the Carolina Challenge Cup, a four-team preseason tournament in Charleston, S.C. Last February, United set up camp in Orlando. Seattle, Houston and the hometown Battery (USL Pro) will join United at Blackbaud Stadium. (I highly recommend visiting the stadium, stadium pub and restaurant-rich city.) Details here.
A United representative is visiting Jakarta this week to discuss training sites, hotels, games and other logistics as part of a proposed tour in December. The club is aiming to finalize plans this month.

Come down to Fraggle rock. Hang out with Red and me and maybe we'll eat some dozer buildings. And what's with that old guy and his dog anyway?Added 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com
A three hour tour. A three season show. Gilligan's Island is an all-time classic that I HAVE to own on DVD. I just can't get enough of Ginger being in charge of seducing all of the bad guys and Gilligan always getting in the way.

Good evening bird threaders. Sorry if I offended anyone earlier. That's why I don't discuss politics and religion. I guess I should keep to that.
The Billy Bass comments made me laugh. I have a couple extras if anyone needs them. haha They are hilarious. I kept them on mute too. Son thought they were a hoot when he got them. He has his Dad's too. I hadn't seen the Lobster one. haha
My sister stopped by and we decided to run out to my nephews and raid the family garden goodies from his spare freezer. Can't wait to eat some home grown (yet frozen) corn, green beans, etc and strawberries. YUM. Of course we stopped and got food to bring home. hahaha It was a nice sunny drive out into the sticks. I loved it. Sun was deceiving though, too cold. They are talking about delaying school for 2 hours tomorrow due to single digit temps. No S-word though, that's good. lol
I had her stop by Wendy's to get a couple large chilis to doctor up a bit, it will go with the shredded cheese/Fritos and hotdogs. Dinner is served. haha I will cook tomorrow. Fresh air (cold as it was) and sunshine was quite refreshing. Just what I needed. Nephew was a hoot. Had some big laughs. Lala, you would of loved the smell of horses. He is ready to buy another one. They have four. I always go see the horses when I go out there.
Hope everyone is staying warm and having a good evening.

Off to eat and return a phone call or two. Wow, somedays the phone just don't quit. Came home to 6 messages. I guess I should be happy someone calls huh? Some people have no friends, family or anyone but telemarketers to call. Be back later.
If not, have a good evening.

Oh, NO!!! Not that!! Please don't banish us to those places.
I have looked at the Rand Paul threads, and with the exception of one or two individuals, most of the posters are real idiots. What may have started out to be interesting debate, has degenerated into name-calling and vulgarity, over the past two years. Not my style at all. Politics is not a dirty word,and can be debated intelligently and respectfully. I usually don't bother debating Rep. vs Dem., because I am in the middle and like to pick and choose. Political discussion; though, should not be confused with discussion of law (as in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc.)and national policy regarding topical issues of import to the everyday citizen.

Your nephew is fortunate to have horses. There's an old saying to the effect that "the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man." Don't recall who said that though.
BTW, there is never any offense taken for anything you say. Freedom of expression is what this thread is all about, don't you think so?

My sister and her kids all have horses. Beautiful ones that they ride in trail club with, parades, show. They are all just special animals. I have always loved horses. That's why I like to go to the track. They are magnificient animals.
No offense take on anything you have said lala. You know I wouldn't offend you on purpose. I try to shy away from politics and religion due to the passion we feel about them.
Free expression is one thing lala, pure spite and hatred is another.

I know. I figured that out LOL. AB is really a very nice person, but she does get gunshy when anybody mentions a subject that she interprets to be political. I was having a little fun, just stirring the debate pot. I just say what I think, and try to be polite and not offensive. But I really think no one should be reluctant to bring any subject up. I think of this thread like my "Stumble Upon" site. One topic leads to another and then to another, like the flow of a conversation. I disagree with lots of things on this thread, and I'm not afraid to gather the empty bulbs and nut icons for telling it how I see it. Now I really have to go. Bye-bye. Talk to you tomorrow

Raw video: I-275 crash
More than 80 vehicles were involved in a crash on Interstate 275
1 dead, 20 hurt in I-275 crash
Dozens of vehicles involved in I-75 crash
Hope they keep all this up there. Too close for my comfort. I hope and pray Blueminer and Ancient Wolf's son is not in the area. God Bless our truckers. There are 33 pictures of I-75. So sad for those people.
There is suppose to be a windchill factor of -10 degrees tonight here, schools are on a two hour delay here and across the river in Indiana. I knew my bad knee was aching for a reason. Would that be Arthurette? lol
#83198 Jan 21, 2013
the problem is serious doubts have been raised whether or not our election process is in fact fraudulent and rigged through the electoral college. I still believe that Obama did not get the popular majority vote despite what the media has lead us to believe as it would be difficult for any American to honestly say that he has been happy with the job Obama has done during his first term. How he got re-elected is beyond me. If I had faith in the election process I would agree with your statements if Obama truly was elected by the majority, but I have serious doubts.
#83199 Jan 21, 2013
I can vouch for that ; ]
BTW, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your heated exchange with W KY Girl...reminds me of the good ole days of this thread when you were real feisty.
#83201 Jan 21, 2013
I wouldn't say gunshy, people just cannot talk politics without someone getting nasty or ignorant, much like religion. We all have our own opinions and if I wanted to talk either I would go to one of the thousands on both subjects. That is why I liked this thread. Common goal trying to figure out what killed the birds, theories on all the subjects brought to light trying to figure out what killed the birds, good stories, songs, Ancient Wolf's wisdom, several posters humor, anything and everything but those two subjects except for an occassional mention or just plain folks chatting about everything. If you all want to turn into another political thread I guess I will avoid it like I do the randpaul sites everytime I click on to the bird site. I don't have the time or desire to jump post to post and espcially those sites. I knew wkygirl jumped over there under her United States location and joined in. You can read her and pick her out in a New York minute.
I hope you have a good evening catching up on your chores. Maybe I will catch you later if you can't sleep.

Im not really sure , there have been some posts in digital on this subject , Perhaps a used Kimber illuminatti?
I use mainly Kimber illuminatti D60 or their AEs orchids and have picked up a D60 at $130 and an orchid at $200 , I have an audioquest Digital Pro which would be less than $100 used and its pretty decent.
At Steven Rochlins site there is a DIY cable (the max rochlin memorial cable ) which is reputed to cost less than $30 or so and has been praised)

text: We have a rescued boxer who we think is around 3 years old. We have had her for 2 years now and have tried every training exercise we can find to train her to urinate outdoors. She goes on and off with her training, she wont pee in the house for 3 months then for a month she will pee every other day. I think it is submissive peeing but after further research she doesnt do it at any of the times people say dogs usually submissive pee at. She honestly will urinate randomly with people around or not. A friend has brought up the fact that since she is a rescue dog and was mistreated terribly before we got her that maybe thats playing a big roll in it. I have no clue since i am no dog expert. I am just at the end of ideas to even try after 2 years of trying to train her/get her to stop submissive peeing. I just dont know what to do the veterinarian is telling me the same answers i get off the internet and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions would greatly help and i would appreciate it greatly. If you need any more information i would be glad to answer any questions. Thank you very much ahead of time for your time and effort i greatly appreciate it.

This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
June 6, 2012
Anyway, the luncheon was great. Gary showed up and actually met us prior to going in to the Galley. We were able to talk with him, and as it turned out, we were able to introduce several other people to him, as they were walking by. There were also several other folks who came by, that recognized him, and the cameras kind of popped out, as well as requests for autographs, and then we finally were able to get inside to get our lunches. It was kind of humorous, the way some of the people and staff were acting, when they realized who he was. They were all using their iPhones and smart phones to take pictures of him at the salad bar or wherever he happened to be. Jason and I were just trying to get our food and make our way to the table. A special table had been set up for him, and for all the other Wounded Warriors that were having lunch with him. As it turned out, Jason was able to sit directly across from him and I was able to sit next to him. Because of the way the tables were laid out Jason was not able to maneuver in to sit next to him, and it seemed like the other guys were all afraid to sit next to him, as I was not the first person to get to the table. There were about 12 to 15 people already there. It worked out nice for the two of us. Larry was with us too, and he sat down just a little farther, at the next open space.
Tonight I picked up the girls after a nice bike ride. I would have like to have not had to pick up the girls but it was needed for me to do it. Once at home the girls were all excited to be able to sit with Grandpa and I read a couple of books to them, then I had to start dinner. I grilled some hamburgers and made some zucchini that Tom Lightner gave me earlier today. He grows it in his garden and I love fresh zucchini. He also brought me some string beans and I'll work on them either tomorrow or Friday. I just might wait until Friday since that is when Linda gets here. Over all , the day today was very good. I'm getting to bed at a reasonable hour and should be refreshed for all the stuff going on tomorrow.
Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. This journey is far from over, though we have come a long way. Jason is here because there is something planned for him, we just don't know what it is yet. God will no doubt continue to guide us along, even down some of the paths we don't like, and still ultimately good for Jason, and his family.

Gary Senise is such an amazing man. Have seen over and over how he helps those who've been wounded. Am thrilled that you both got to talk to him!ReplyDelete
Am sharing two verses today. The second verse is God's own interpretation of the first verse. When dealing with all the "floods" and vehement winds beating upon us, there is only One Sure Foundation. Praying so as you face these "floods."
Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

I just came across this blog a few days ago. And you guys are such an amazing family. I was a medic in the Air Force so I have some idea of what your family is going through. It's tough seeing the stuff these guys and gals go through, but I'm so thankful Jason has his family and his adorable kids to keep him going. If you ever need advice or help my email is firstname.lastname@example.com. I would love to be of any help I can, but it sounds like you have gotten through the worst of it.ReplyDelete

ceiling fan downrod extension installation
I have a 52" hampton bay ceiling fan, and I'd like to install it in my vaulted ceiling...
lemme start with, i bought one of those blue heavy duty boxes and used the two nails and drove it into the ceiling beam...
is that going to be enough to hold a fan? it says 35 lbs weight capacity and the fan is 34 lbs, but when i give it a little tug, it kinds bends, i dont think thats going to help with fan wobble?
second, how do i install the downrod, for some reason, either the Fantec extension kit is missing some useful in-depth instructions and screws or am I just looking into it to much?
on some other forum i read a ton on wiring splices w/ butt connectors inside the extension rod and never got a true answer, but thats the least of my problems, i just dont want to install the fan and have it wobble and tear out my new ceiling.
I still have access to the open ceiling, so i'm wondering if i should just go out and buy a new fan box with the 24" bracing arms, or am i being overreactive... thanks
Where to start....
You need a box that is made especially for a fan, first of all. Heavy Duty, doesn't mean Fan Duty...two nails driven in one direction into anything, even a joist, isn't enough for fan installation IMHO.
The downrod didn't come with a little half ball to hang it by? If not, you are probably missing peices. However, Hampton Bay is less than helpful with instructions on their website, and without them, of course, I can't be sure. If you do have the half ball, the rod should have a roll pin in one end of it and it fits into the slot on the flat side of the ball after putting the downrod through the center.
You shouldn't make your splices inside the extension rod. Splices go in the box (after you get the correct box installed :) )
You need a box that is fan rated. There are several types so you will need to purchase one that fits your situation. Ones with the adjustable support arms are good.
There should be a down rod bracket that mounts to the fan box. Then the ball mount with downrod attached and pinned sets into the bracket. the canopy then screws to the outer rim of the down rod bracket. see if these instructions for an emerson fan help with understanding how the downrod gets installed.......
done and done
well not exactly done, tons more compounding to finish the ceiling.. but there is a pretty rod haning there with the wires in it..., i used a different box and its secured now, as far as wiring, i think i'll pull it back through into the fan head and splice it there and in the ceiling... thanks for the help

Lake Woebegone Market
Where every year is above average
by Ann Coleman (TMF email@example.com)
and Chris Rugaber (TMF email@example.com)
Alexandria, VA (Dec. 31, 1998) -- You've probably read just about enough end-of-the-year stuff by now, so I will try to wrap things up quickly. Our paper Foolish Four portfolio, which started last December 31, has finished the year up 12.59% -- losing to both the Dow at 16.10% and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index at 28.58% (Wow!). Not one of our finest years, but historically, nothing unusual.
The fact that the strategy did poorly this year is disappointing, but it has had bad years before and will again. In fact, there have been times when the Foolish Four has lost to the market over a five-year period. Interestingly, these times tend to occur when the market as a whole is doing well over a sustained period.
And, boy are the markets doing well! The Dow hasn't had a negative year since 1990 (the year of the Persian Gulf War), and every year since then has been a double digit year except 1994. This is not normal, folks. I'm not saying it has to end -- I don't think anyone knows when it will end, but it's certainly not a typical historical pattern. A more typical pattern is a couple of good years then a bad one. We seem to be in a market where "all" the years are above average.
Yes, I do find it a bit scary. No, I don't think we should sell everything and stock up on gold coins. If I knew of a way to predict the market next year, you can bet I wouldn't be working for a living! One thing is clear from looking at the Foolish Four history over the past three decades: Just doing it, year in, year out, paid off handsomely in the end. Quitting when you had a bad year or two was always a bad idea.
I have a couple of late Christmas presents for you. (Nothing personal -- you aren't the only ones. My friends and family have learned to be patient with me.) Two of our more talented readers have developed really nifty and helpful programs for selecting Foolish Four stocks and rebalancing one's portfolio.
Reader Yotommy has set up a website that calculates the current Foolish Four stocks based on current prices. Click here to check it out: Dow Dividend Strategy Calculator. You simply select "Beat the Dow" via the "RP" method and hit "Go." Out pops the top 10 stocks ranked by the RP process. (Remember, the Foolish Four drops the top stock.)
Yotommy's site also lets you list stocks using several other methods. Each method can be applied to the Beating the S&P, the Money (Magazine) 30, and several socially responsible investing indices. Tres cool.
Michael Pizolato attacked the problems of buying equal dollar amounts of stock from several companies at the same time when the shares are all different prices that don't divide evenly into your planned amounts and that keep changing by the minute. (Arrrgggh!) His Foolish Buy Calculator makes it all easy and even takes your commission charges into account. I sure could have used it last week. It's a spreadsheet that runs under the Excel program (part of Microsoft Office), and it's really very nicely done. Even if you don't have Excel, check out the website. His self portrait makes the click worthwhile.
Time for our get-acquainted coffee-klatch with International Paper (NYSE: IP). Real money portfolio numbers for today are at the bottom of the page.
International Paper certainly fits the profile of a Dog of the Dow. Besides paper and wood products, it manufactures photosensitive films, chemicals, and "non-woven" products, whatever those are. See our data resources at quote.fool.com for details on IP's financial situation (not terrible) and future earnings estimates (not great). Essentially, IP is a typical commodities maker that is modernizing its operations and buying up many of its competitors as part of its effort to improve productivity. Despite these moves, excess capacity in Asia and a decline in demand internationally have hurt sales. IP receives 28% of its revenue from international sales.
IP has been a Dog of the Dow for the last three years, and each year it has disappointed its holders. Even though earnings are up this year, the company is essentially paying out all of its profits to maintain its dividend. That's a bit scary, but it is possible that all their efforts at increasing productivity will produce earnings growth in 1999. Let's hope so.

Art as an Investment: Risk, Return and Comovements in Major Painting Markets: Discussion Paper No 93
Worthington, Andrew C. & Higgs, Helen (2001) Art as an Investment: Risk, Return and Comovements in Major Painting Markets: Discussion Paper No 93. [Working Paper] (Unpublished)
|PDF (808kB)
This paper examines the short and long-term price linkages among major art and equity markets over the period 1976-2001. The art markets examined are Contemporary Masters, French Impressionists, Modern European, 19th Century European, Old Masters, Surrealists, 20th Century English and Modern US paintings. A global equity index (with dividends and capitalisation changes) is also included. Multivariate cointegration procedures, Granger non-causality tests, level VAR and generalised variance decomposition analyses based on error-correction and vector autoregressive models are conducted to analyse short and long-run relationships among these markets. The results indicate that there is a stationary long-run relationship and significant short and long-run causal linkages between the various painting markets and between the equity market and painting markets. However, in terms of the percentage of variance explained most painting markets are relatively isolated, and other painting markets are generally more important than the equity market in explaining the variance that is not caused by innovations in the market itself. This suggests that opportunities for portfolio diversification in art works alone and in conjunction with equity markets exist, though in common with the literature in this area the study finds that the returns on paintings are much lower and the risks much higher than in conventional financial markets.

Welcome Break from Microsoft While IT Deals with SSL Certificate Issues
5 Important
Patch Tuesday Security Briefing
September's Patch Tuesday from Microsoft is rather light with only 5 Bulletins – none of which are critical:
Even with no vulnerabilities rated critical this period, the importance of quickly deploying these upcoming patches should not be overlooked. Prioritize the remote code execution issues first with MS11-071, MS11-072 and MS11-073 followed by privilege escalation issues MS11-070 and MS11-074.
In light of the current DigiNotar certificate issues (including the latest threat by the hacker to exploit the Microsoft Windows Update service) the handling of potentially compromised digital certificates is currently top of the list for most IT pros this period. Many IT professionals are already busy dealing with replacing their server certificates and also updating user browser / OS software to revoke trust in compromised certificates so this Patch Tuesday is welcome break.
Mozilla is being very aggressive in dealing with the issue and has sent communication to all CA's with root certificates in NSS requesting immediate action. This seems to allude to the fact that other CA's could face the same demise seen at DigiNotar if they are not cooperative and forthcoming.

CNBC reporter: Marathon winner "can't count as American"
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
CNBC's Darren Rovell has some funny ideas about what it means to be an American.
Over the weekend, Meb Keflezighi became the first American to win the New York City Marathon since 1982. But CNBC's Darren Rovell isn't impressed. Darren Rovell doesn't think Keflezighi is really an American.
On his Twitter account yesterday, Rovell wrote "NYC Marathon winner Keflezghi may be a citizen, but can't count as American."
Rovell explained his bizarre views in an article on CNBC's web site:
It's a stunning headline: American Wins Men's NYC Marathon For First Time Since '82.
Unfortunately, it's not as good as it sounds.
Meb Keflezighi, who won yesterday in New York, is technically American by virtue of him becoming a citizen in 1998, but the fact that he's not American-born takes away from the magnitude of the achievement the headline implies.
"Technically American"? No: Keflezighi is American. Not on some technicality or by virtue of a loophole. He is, simply, an American -- and he isn't any less American simply because he did not share Darren Rovell's great good fortune to have been born in the U.S.
Keflezighi's country of origin is Eritrea, a small country in Africa. He is an American citizen thanks to taking a test and living in our country.
Nothing against Keflezighi, but he's like a ringer who you hire to work a couple hours at your office so that you can win the executive softball league.
Well, actually, he isn't anything like that at all. Keflezighi is an American. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1987, when he was 12 years old, and became a citizen in 1998. He has lived in America for 22 years and been a citizen for 11.
You know many "ringers" who start at age 12? You know many people who consider 22 years of residence the equivalent of working "a couple hours at your office"? I didn't think so.
The positive sign was that some American-born runners did extremely well in yesterday's men's race.
If any of them stand on the top step of the podium in Central Park one day, that's when I'll break out my red, white and blue.
Now there's a guy who loves his country.
Here's an excerpt from a 2005 Sports Illustrated profile of Keflezighi:
Meb's story begins in Eritrea a quarter century ago. Russom Keflezighi was the father of five young children (Meb was number 4), husband to a pregnant wife, Awetash, and a hunted member of the Eritrean Liberation Front, a civilian organization seeking independence for Eritrea from Ethiopia. "By 1981 the enemy was very close," he says. He would often sleep in the woods outside his village to avoid detection.
His wife urged him to leave the country rather than be jailed or killed. In July 1981 Russom walked out of his village in tears and headed for the border with Sudan, nearly 100 miles and seven days away. Two years later he moved to Milan, Italy, with the aid of an Eritrean woman who had borne him a daughter, Ruth, before he married Awetash.
Russom worked as many as four jobs at once and sent money back to Eritrea. At home the Keflezighi boys dodged violence every day. "We saw body parts on the highway," says Meb. "But it was the only life we knew." In 1986 Russom brought his family to Milan and then--14 months later, sponsored by Ruth, who was 19 years old and living in the U.S.--to San Diego.
In California, Russom worked tirelessly. He did not let his children take jobs. "I told them, 'You will have a better life if you study,'" he says. The family grew to 11 kids. Today the six oldest have college degrees, and the seventh is a freshman at Stanford.
(H/t: Americablog)
UPDATE: Rovell apologizes. Sort of:
I said that Keflezighi's win, the first by an American since 1982, wasn't as big as it was being made out to be because there was a difference between being an American-born product and being an American citizen. Frankly I didn't account for the fact that virtually all of Keflezighi's running experience came as a US citizen.
This is where, I must admit, my critics made their best point. It turns out, Keflezighi moved to the United States in time to develop at every level in America. So Meb is in fact an American trained athlete and an American citizen and he should be celebrated as the American winner of the NYC Marathon. That makes a difference and makes him different from the "ringer" I accused him of being. Meb didn't deserve that comparison and I apologize for that.
In other words, Rovell wrote a column smearing Keflezighi without bothering to do 20 seconds of research to find out if his central premise was correct. That's some good journalism!
Rovell also writes:
I never said he didn't deserve to be called American.
Oh, really? What about when Rovell wrote that Keflezighi "can't count as American"? How about when he wrote that Keflezighi is only "technically" American? Or when he analogized Keflezghi's American-ness to a "ringer" who works "a couple hours" in an office?
UPDATE 2: Keflezighi's fellow UCLA alums over at Bruins Nation are not amused:
The first point I'd like to make is that Meb did more than just "live" in the country. For the most part, he grew up here. Last time I checked, the University of California, Los Angeles contains three words that identify itself with the United States, so he was educated here. And being a citizen thanks to "taking a test" is no small feat, considering that there are reports circulating that a mere 3.5% of American High School students would be able to pass that same test. I'd like to know if Rovell could pass. I know I have my doubts.
What I'm really wondering what ... Revell would say to the parents and wives and children of dead American soldiers who died in battle defending this country after becoming naturalized citizens. I wonder if they would tell them "Thanks, but it's not as if they were real Americans who were actually born here."
I not only rejoice in Meb's win because we are both Americans. I rejoice that I live in a country that allows great men like Meb to become citizens and then proceeds to treat him no differently than those whose families came over on the Mayflower.

Some Local Candian Prarie Humor
Saskatchewan Technology Recent findings:
After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: "California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."
One week later, "Moose Jaw Times Herald", a local newspaper in Saskatchewan reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 meters in sagebrush fields near Moose Jaw, Ole Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Saskatchewan had already gone wireless."
A True Saskatchewan Girl
A girl from Saskatchewan and a girl from Ontario were seated side by side on an airplane. The girl from Saskatchewan, being friendly and all, said, "So, where you from?" The Ontario girl said, "From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence." The girl from Saskatchewan sat quietly for a few moments and then replied,... "So, where you from, bitc$?"
A man owned a farm in Saskatchewan.
The Labor Relations Board suspected he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well, there's my hired hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months and I pay her $500 a month plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours a day. I pay him $10 a week and buy him chewing tobacco," said the farmer.
"That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit," said the agent.
The farmer said, "That would be me."

One time there was a Frat House that decided to have a contest amoung all of the Frat Houses so they decided to take a nekkid woman, grease her with axle grease and put her in a dark room. The purpose of the contest was to see if any contestant could go into the room and bring her out in 5 minutes. It is appropriate to note that the woman was very athletic herself. Anyhow, the first contestant went in and came out 5 minutes later with lots of grease all over him but without the woman. Several others tried with the same results, just greasey but no woman. Then Billy Bob, a new pledge from the Cajun Fraternity said he would like to try and in he went. They could hear a lot of cussin and screamin and furniture breaking but after 3 minutes here came Billy Bob draggin the woman out screaming and cussing.
The Frat brothers were amazed and asked Billy Bob , "How in the world were you able to succeed when all the others failed?" Billy Bob replied, "I just used the famous bowling ball hold and drug her out!"!
A Christmas Story:
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidenta! lly dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The even ing was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 ..45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again]
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours,
PS: if this has been posted earlier, sorry, but I just got it via email and still think it's worth another chuckle

A Boy's First Condom
I recall my first time with a condom, I was 16 or so. I went in to
buy a packet of condoms at Park Lane pharmacy.
There was this beautiful woman assistant behind the counter, and she
could see that I was new at it. She handed me the package and asked if
I knew how to wear one. I honestly answered, 'No, this is my first
So she unwrapped the package, took one out and slipped it over her
thumb. She cautioned me to make sure it was on tight and secure.
I apparently still looked confused. So, she looked all around the
store to see if it was empty. It was empty.
'Just a minute,' she said, and walked to the door, and locked it..
Taking my hand, she led me into the back room, unbuttoned her blouse
and removed it. She unhooked her bra and laid it aside.
'Do these excite you?' She asked.
Well, I was so dumb-struck that all I could do was nod my head.
She then said it was time to slip the condom on. As I was slipping it
on, she dropped her skirt, removed her panties and lay down on a desk.
'Well, come on', she said, 'We don't have much time..'
So I climbed on her. It was so wonderful, that unfortunately, I could
no longer hold back and KAPOW, I was done within a few moments.
She looked at me with a bit of a frown. 'Did you put that condom on?'
she asked.
I said, 'I sure did,' and held up my thumb to show her.
She then beat the crap out of me.......

Honesty is the best....
Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, 'cause everyone else in the class laughed. My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork, and beef.
Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed too. then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she'd asked the other children. So I told her because you could make them into fried chicken. She sent me to the principal's office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her "Colonel Sanders". Guess where I am now....
Seems a Texan cruises thru a stop sign, or whatever, and gets pulled over by a local policeman. Guy hands the cop his driver's license, insurance verification, plus his concealed carry permit.
"Okay, Mr. Smith," the cop says, "I see your CCW permit. Are you carrying today?"
"Yes, I am."
"Well then, better tell me what you got."
Smith says, "Well, I got a .357 revolver in my inside coat pocket. There's a 9mm semi-auto in the glove box. And, I've got a .22 magnum derringer in my right boot."
"Okay," the cop says. "Anything else?"
"Yeah, back in the trunk, there's an AR15 and a shotgun. That's about it."
"Mr. Smith, are you on your way to or from a gun range...?"
"Well then, what are you afraid of...?"
"Not a damn thing..."

Spring Gobbler Season is right around the corner.
Here are some turkey calling tips for you "sporting" hunters!
A lumberman is applying for a job and must answer three questions!
Here's your first question," the foreman said.
"Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" The woodworker says. "Dat is easy," and proceeds to draw three trees.
"What's this?" the foreman asks.
"Ave you got no brain? Tree and tree and tree make nine," says the woodworker.
"Fair enough," says the foreman. "Here is your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99."
The woodworker stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "'Ere you go."
The foreman scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?
" Each of da trees is dirty now ! So it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, and dirty tree. Dat is 99."
The foreman is getting worried he's going to have to hire this fellow, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100.
" The woodworker stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree, and says, Ere you go. One hundred."
The foreman looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!
" The lumberman leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree, and says, "A little dog come along and crap by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which make one hundred... So when I start?"
Irelands child
Paul has had terrible headaches for years. The doctor tells him his right testicle is causing the headaches and needs to be removed. Paul figures he can live with one testicle so he goes ahead with the surgery. Paul's headaches get worse and the doctor tells him he needs to remove the other testicle. Weeks later Paul goes ahead with the surgery and his headaches go away.
Paul is really depressed so he decides to treat himself to a new outfit. When he goes into the town's most exclusive mens store, the salesman offers to fit him without taking any measurements. Salesman guesses his jacket size correctly as a 42 regular, his waist inseam correctly as a 32 and his waist as a 36. Paul is amazed but when the salesman guesses his jockey size as a 36, Paul corrects him -- he's always worn a 32. The salesman say "A man your size can't possibly wear size 32 jockey shorts. If you did, they would squeeze your testicles and give you horrible headaches."
Old Fart Football
An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, Seven Points.'
His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?'
The old man replied, 'its fart football.'
A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says Touchdown, tie score...'
After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says,
'Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.'
Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says,
'Touchdown, tie score.'
Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says,
'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.' Now the pressure is on the old man.
He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.
Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally craps in the bed.
The wife says, 'What the hell was that?'
The old man says, 'Half time, switch sides
