Fly infestation in my home!
I am having to kill 10, 20 and sometimes 30 flies in my small home in
a day! I cannot figure out where they are comming in! I have set 10 fly
traps in my basement and caught ONE fly! They are always upstairs
with me! What do I do? I covered the outdoor dryer vent, when not in
use of course, and the outdoor exhaust pipes to the furnace, but I still
have them comming in by the dozen!! HELP!!
Do you by chance have livestock living nearby? I once lived on a farm with horses and the neighbours had cattle. The cluster flies were relentless. It was a well built solid home, but they managed to get in the attic and somehow they snuck through the frame of double hung windows. They mostly hung around the windows during the day, so I had to be sure to vacuum them up before dusk.
If this sounds like your problem,...good luck.. you can spray or you can have a pro do it, but I guarantee they will return. They lay their eggs in the ground close to the warmth of the house. Just keep your hoover handy!
I know they are not easy on the eyes, but have you tried the fly traps that hang from the ceiling?

We bumped into this prayer the other day, which brings up angels. Here's the prayer, and then a question: O God, who in a wonderful order has established the ministry of Angels and of men, mercifully grant that even as Your holy Angels ever do You service in heaven, so at all times they may [Read More…]

An Afternoon Prayer (and question)
In Obama's own words
Is the President a Christian? So many are asking this, so many won't trust his words, but this is what he told someone the other day… But the religion question was perhaps the most revealing for the president – and also perhaps the most welcome, given that polls show that the public appears confused about [Read More…]
Beyond the Abyss 2
Sharon Baker is attempting to construct a Christian belief in the afterlife, particularly hell, that squares somehow with the unconditional love of God and the fundamental verse she continually mentions: 2:3 Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, 2:4 since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a [Read More…]
Spiritual Disciplines … for a Church 5
One of the more persistent criticisms I have heard of traditional atonement theology is that we are asked to do something God does not do. Namely, we are asked to forgive in grace but God, who forgives only after the punishment of sin in Christ, does not simply forgive in grace. I contend the idea misunderstands atonement and how we forgive.
We do not have the resources to forgive. "The only way we can forgive is by letting God renarrate our lives in the context of the metanarrative of Jesus, who forgave his enemies and even died for them" (110). [Read more…]

Aaron Trapp is one of the outstanding young men in the Rockford community and has been recognized recently by Boy Scouts of America with the organization's highest rank, Eagle Scout.
Many may have met Aaron during the summer months as he worked on his family farm in Grattan Township. His family owns the Trapp Berry Farm. Aaron is now 17 years old and is a junior at Rockford High School, where he has been involved in the arts program and has been in the choir for three years, performing in several school musicals. He has also been on the high school wrestling team for the past three years. Aaron has also been involved with 4H and in the past seven years he has taken part in many 4H activities and been the president of his club for one year.
Aaron has been a Scout since he was six years old—first, as a Cub Scout in Pack 3228, and then a Boy Scout in Troop 228. Both Scout units are sponsored by the Bostwick Lake Congregational Church.
Aaron has served his troop by being Historian, Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader. These leadership positions, along with those that Aaron held in 4H, have helped prepare him for the task of overseeing his Eagle project and earning the highest rank in Boy Scouts.
For his Eagle project, Aaron installed two concrete pads for the Bostwick Lake Congregational Church. Along with the concrete pads, Aaron also installed a bench and a fire ring. One of the pads was for the church's trash dumpster and the other for the Boy Scout equipment trailer.
The concrete pads helped free up space in the parking lot, and the fire ring and bench provide an outdoor setting for the youth of the church to gather and enjoy time around the camp fire.
When Aaron was asked why he chose this project, he responded, " I wanted to do something for the church that has been supporting Scouts all these years that I have been in Scouting."
To fund his project, Aaron sought donations and received many from local businesses, including Herrington Excavating and Richard's Electric. For the balance of needed funds, Aaron held a bake sale he in conjuction with the Bostwick Lake church bazaar

So I guess the question now is this.
Will a single clip holster be secure enough and comfortable enough for a Jframe?
I know two clips/snaps spread out should have less movement/ more secure and be more comfortable. Also a revolver tends to be thicker due to the cylinder so having a clip/snap on top of the cylinder adds some thickness. I know for my 1911 or Glock I would not buy a single LCp holster and I would spend more money for a higher quality holster but I don't know if it is really worth it for a Jframe since it is small and light.

5Ghz Radio on Autonomous 1142N
I have a Cisco 1142N Dual band AP that I have running in Autonomous mode at the moment, I have configured the AP (Through sheer guess work) to have an SSID on the 2.4Ghz N Radio and this is working fine with throughput at a healthy 100mbps+.
I cannot however get my 5.0Ghz Radio to be visible when I search for it's SSID on my 5Ghz N client, I believe it may be a configuration issue as I have no real knowledge of the Aironet products, Just of Cisco Routers (I have a 877 SOHO)
Could anyone advise as to anything obvious as to why I cannot see my Wireless N SSID broadcasting?
Here is my config;
If you could explain why it's not working either that would be fantastic - I am keen to learn but as this is such a specialist product I cannot see what I may have done that would stop my 5Ghz Radio broadcasting.
This is a home setup so I want both radio's to connect to my normal LAN (VLAN1)

Bryan Anderson's pinch hit single plated Pete Kozma in the bottom of the ninth as Memphis walked off with a win over Round Rock. The Redbirds have won the first two of their four-game set with the Express.
Kozma's double with one out in the ninth was his second hit of the game and made a winner out of Fernando Salas. Salas struck out two of the three batters he faced in the top of the frame in picking up his first Triple-A win since 2010. Joe Kelly started and gave up just two runs, one earned in seven innings. One of the five hits he allowed was a one-out triple in the first that scored on a ground out. Kelly walked three and struck out two.
Round Rock held that slim 1-0 lead until the sixth when Memphis tied it up on Jamie Romak's sacrifice fly that brought Lou Montanez across after the latter had walked to open up the inning. Each team notched single tallies in the seventh and eighth which led to Anderson's clutch hit in the ninth. Eugenio Velez' sixth bomb of 2012 was a solo shot in the seventh while Montanez singled and eventually scored in the eighth on a single by Romak.
Maikel Cleto bridged the gap from Kelly to Salas by tossing two frames. He gave up a run, earned, on two hits and did not walk a batter.
Thursday's game: vs. Round Rock, 7:05 pm, Shelby Miller (4-3, 4.38 ERA)
Right fielder Kyle Conley swung the biggest of Springfield's sticks in their convincing win over San Antonio. The S-Cards took the first game of three against the Missions at home.
Conley, our co-Player of the Day, doubled and scored the game's first run in the second on Audry Perez' single. That double was one of three hits in four at bats, including two home runs. His first bomb came in the third with two aboard and upped Springfield's lead to 6-0. He followed that up with a two-run slam in the seventh that made the score 8-4. Oscar Taveras, Jermaine Curtis, Jake Shaffer and Greg Garcia each had two hits and scored with Taveras driving in two. Kolten Wong's only hit was a double as he also plated a run and drew a walk.
Starter Tyler Lyons evened his record to 4-4 by allowing three runs, earned, on seven hits in six innings. All three runs were the result of two homers in the fifth inning. The southpaw struck out seven and did not walk a batter. Deryk Hooker gave up a solo shot in the seventh as part of his 2/3 of an inning on the mound. Eric Fornataro pitched around two hits and a walk in 1 1/3 innings while the lead off walk Michael Blazek allowed in the ninth came around to score on a single and sacrifice fly.
Thursday's game: vs. San Antonio, 7:08 pm, Scott Gorgen (2-3, 3.83 ERA)
Palm Beach scored three in the seventh to send first-place St. Lucie to only their 12th loss of 2012. The Beach Birds' record goes to 25-27, 15 games back.
The Palm Beach pitching staff combined to toss a two-hitter, lead by our co-Player of the Day Brad Watson. Watson gave up a solo shot in the second and that was the only hit the right-hander allowed in his regular season debut. Watson, a 37th-round selection in the June 2011 First Year Player Draft, is the latest pitcher that Palm Beach has thrown into their rotation out of Extended Spring Training and he was stellar. He retired 15 of the last 16 batters he faced with only one walk allowed. He struck out four.
Aidan Lucas picked up his first win of the season by holding the Mets to only a walk in two frames while Chase Reid gave up a two-out single in the ninth that was St. Lucie's second hit. Reid collected his third save of 2012.
First baseman Jonathan Rodriguez had the big hit for the Beach Birds when he hit a three-run shot in the seventh. Starlin Rodriguez walked with one out and advanced to third on a single by Chris Edmondson. That brought Rodriguez to the plate and he came through with his second home run of 2012. That accounted for all of Palm Beach's tallies and was one of their six hits.
Thursday's game: vs. St. Lucie, 6:35 pm, Anthony Ferrara (2-3, 2.20)
The River Bandits sent 16 batters to the plate in the first as they flattened first-place Beloit. Quad Cities' record goes to 27-26 with the win, seven games back.
The contest was never in doubt as they plated 12 runs in the home half of the first. The team scored a total of 20 runs on 18 hits and six walks. 17 of the 20 runs were earned. Anthony Garcia had two homers that accounted for three of the six runs he drove in. He scored three times as well. Nick Martini's three-run shot in the seventh was one of his three hits for the game. Martini scored twice. Lead-off hitter Virgil Hill drove in three on a 3-for-5 game in which he scored four times. Tyler Rahmatulla drove in three and came home three times. Shortstop Matt Williams scored twice and drove in two while David Medina and Neal Pritchard each scored twice.
Starter Sam Gaviglio yielded just two runs, one earned, in seven frames as he evened his record to 4-4 on the season. He allowed four hits and two walks while striking out five. Willy Paulino gave up a run on a hit and a walk in the eighth and Heath Wyatt tossed a scoreless ninth.
Thursday's game: vs. Beloit, 7:00 pm, Dail Villanueva (3-2, 4.13 ERA)

What Is HARP?
The Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), also known as the Obama refinance program, was set up by the federal government in 2009 in response to the widespread collapse in home prices that had occurred as a result of the 2007-08 credit crunch. Lower home prices saw millions of homeowners plunged into negative equity (a.k.a. having an "underwater" or "upside down" mortgage), and that stopped them from reducing their monthly outgoings by refinancing to lower mortgage rates. Since then, home prices have risen in many areas, but the recovery has been geographically patchy. And as recently as the second quarter of 2016, 3.6 million Americans still had underwater mortgages.
HARP has evolved since it was first introduced, and many of its original eligibility rules have been loosened. As its official government website suggests:
Turned down before? Now's the time to try again.
HARP has been significantly enhanced since it launched in 2009. The program now requires less documentation and has simpler guidelines, all designed to approve more loans.
To date, the program has helped more than 3.4 million homeowners. In August 2016, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced it was working with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to develop a new streamlined refinance offering, which is due to be introduced in October 2017. In the meantime, the current version of HARP will continue to be available up until September 30, 2017. At the time it made that announcement, the FHFA reckoned around 300,000 homeowners remain eligible to refinance under HARP, but are yet to do so.
If you're one of them, the program offers some real benefits:
- Lending criteria are much less strict than with other mortgages, so you're more likely to be approved
- It doesn't matter how far underwater your existing mortgage is
- You shouldn't normally pay more in mortgage insurance than you currently do
- Refinance closing costs should be affordable because many fees and charges are capped – and you can bundle them all up within your new loan
Frequently Asked Questions›
- Do you have refinancing options for people with less than perfect credit?
- Yes, we offer several options to help you get an auto loan with poor or bad credit.
- Qualifying for A Mortgage Refinance
How do I qualify for a mortgage refinance?
Three steps. Home Equity, and Credit Score.
Step 1: Home Equity: Property value should exceed the refinance amount
Step 2: Income: Total of refi payment plus other debts should be < 43% of gross income
Step 3: Credit: Credit score should exceed lender minimums (usually 620-660). Homeowners who don't meet these three guidelines should look for streamline programs, which are more flexible.
- What is HARP and how can it help you?
HARP is the Home Affordable Refinance Program and it can allow people get some extra mileage out of lower interest rates by refinancing into a shorter mortgage.

By Tom & Laura – September 2011
On a recent visit to Atlanta, we stumbled upon a wonderful little wine store that carries one of our favorite wines from Paso Robles — Opolo.
After some decision making, we packed into our suitcase two bottles of Opolo's 2005 Syrah.
This rich red wine is full of dark cherry and chocolate and has a finish that won't quit. While it pairs wonderfully with pork and beef, I love it for slow sipping on a cool fall day. What could be better? You can purchase this wine for about $24

When Will Media Ask Romney About Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy His Campaign Surrogates Support?
Fox News' Greta van Susteren last night became the sixth journalist to interview Mitt Romney without asking him about the conservative conspiracy theory alleging that the Muslim Brotherhood is using supposed ties to an aide for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to infiltrate the U.S. government. Two surrogates for Romney's campaign have defended that conspiracy during the past week, while Republican leaders like John Boehner and John McCain have condemned it.
On June 13, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) sent letters [1] to several Inspectors General asking for an investigation into "the direct influence within the intelligence community of Muslim Brotherhood operatives." In her letter, Bachmann referenced Huma Abedin, the State Department's deputy chief of staff and a longtime Clinton aide. Bachmann claimed that Abedin "has three family members" who are "connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives."
CNN's Anderson Cooper has noted [2] that "neither Congresswoman Bachmann nor her four colleagues have actually provided credible evidence, just insinuations." Similarly, The Atlantic investigated [3] the allegations and found that "from person to person, you kind of have to do a somersault to get from Huma Abedin to the Muslim Brotherhood." Bachmann's allegations have been condemned [4] by the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House Intelligence Committee, among others.
Former ambassador (and Fox News contributor) John Bolton, who has endorsed Romney [5] and has a formal role [6] with the campaign as a surrogate, defended Bachmann's letter during a July 24 appearance [7] on the radio show of Frank Gaffney, a birther [8] who has been one of the driving forces in conservative media behind the Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy. Bolton said of the controversy: "What is wrong with raising the question? Why is even asking whether we are living up to our standards a legitimate area of congressional oversight, why has that generated this criticism? I'm just mystified by it."
Since Bolton defended Bachman's Muslim Brotherhood attacks, Romney has been interviewed by Van Susteren, ABC's David Muir [9], NBC's Brian Williams [10], CBS' Jan Crawford [11], and CNN's Wolf Blitzer [12] and Piers Morgan [13]. He was not asked about the story by any of these journalists. The Romney campaign limited [14] access to the candidate during his trip, so one-on-one interviews were the only significant opportunities for reporters to ask him questions.
On July 29, former Speaker and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich became the second Romney campaign surrogate [15] to defend the attacks, writing [16] in an op-ed in Politico:
The recent assault on the National Security Five is only the most recent example of the fear our elites have about discussing and understanding radical Islamists.
When an orchestrated assault is launched on the right to ask questions in an effort to stop members of Congress from even inquiring about a topic -- you know the fix is in.
At a Romney campaign event [17] on July 30, Gingrich continued to defend Bachmann's letter, stating "Who's offering advice to Secretary Clinton? I think it's totally legitimate to ask that question."
By contrast, several leading Republicans have condemned the campaign:
- In a June 18 speech on the floor of the Senate, Sen. John McCain said [18], "These allegations about Huma and the report from which they are drawn are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American, and a loyal public servant."
- Speaker John Boehner said [19] on June 19 that Abedin "has a sterling character and I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous"
- Sen. Marco Rubio said [20] on June 19, "Everyone I talk to who has dealt with her, [says Huma Abedin is] a professional and hardworking and patriotic American who loves her country and in the service of her country is serving it."
Prominent conservative media figures have nonetheless promoted the conspiracy, including [21] Rush Limbaugh, Dana Loesch and Sean Hannity [22].
Romney is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and is effectively head of the party. Leaders and prominent figures in his party -- including those directly involved in his campaign -- have weighed in on the conspiracy theory from either side. The media should be asking him for his point of view.

Dancing Sea Lion!
How adorable!
Scientists in Calffornia have trained a sea lion to disco dance!
Peter Cook at the University of California Santa Cruz says it's the first time a creature other than a human or bird has demonstrated the ability to keep a rhythm!
Ronan the sea lion was taught Travolta-esque moves to the tune of Earh, Wind and Fire's "Boogie Wonderland."
They say Ronan is a particularly bright sea lion.
And cute, too!
I wonder if we can teach the Sea Lions here at Jenkinson's Aquarium to dance with us?!!!

post up pictures of your "CSL" trunk then. I can almost guarantee your trunk is no-where near the rake of the OEM CSL trunk. By definition alone you cannot have a CSL trunk for a sedan. CSL stands for Coupe Sport Lightweight, and not Sedan Sport Lightweight. You also only posted pictures of coupes, which ads nothing to your argument.
I am not "dik" riding anyone, but being honest and fair.

Dynamo Kiev's Maksim Shatskikh, Timur Kapadze and Alexander Geynrikh all scored off free kicks in the last 18 minutes in the surprise of the Asian Cup.
Iran, a 2-0 winner over co-host Malaysia, and Uzbekistan advanced to the quarterfinals. China, which only needed a tie to stay alive, finished with four points in third place, and Malaysia was the only one of the four co-hosts to lose all three matches.
"We spent a lot of time on free kicks because we felt that China were weak in that part of their game," said Uzbek coach Rauf Inileyev. "In fact, our whole game-plan worked very well."
Uzbekistan travels to Jakarta, Indonesia, to face Saudi Arabia on Sunday. Iran will stay in Kuala Lumpur and will face South Korea.
Vietnam, the only one of the four co-hosts to advance, plays Iraq in Bangkok. Japan and Australia meet in Hanoi in a replay of their controversial 2006 World Cup match.

#39 The Dark Beat Riseson August 1, 2012 at 8:00 am
All good things must come to an end. Blinded by the impending good time a night at a Jersey shore club can bring, Anteater and Matt Smith fail to see the danger waiting in the shadows. Just as Batman did in The Dark Knight Rises (king of segways). In my opinion, it was the best of the trilogy. I loved Bane. Crazy Sean Connery voice aside (which wasn't all that bad), the character was amazing. They took many a liberty with his dual origin story, but still, the manner in which he was portrayed was captivating. Definitely check the flick out. It is worth your time and money (It was the third best in the trilogy, BATMAN BEGINS FTW – Tear). Afterwards, check out the weekly podcast Tear and I appear on, Evolution of a Fanboy, where you can hear our fanboy critique of the film.

I have over 600 hours in this project. It is by far the most complex (yea wait till next week) project I have undertaken.
300B Integrated Silver PF outputs 10W
INT section 1/2 6922 direct coupled to a 6J5GT cap cooupled to the grid choke, 300B self biased.
Battery Phono as follow MC only 62dB gain fixed:
Toshiba 2SK147 cascode MP to 1% (I have tons of these) to an LM394. All Silver leaded Shinko Tantulum resistors. Passive EQ, other 1/2 of 6922 used as a post amplifier.
Seperate power supply uses a GZ34 and houses a digital power transformer also (internal). Seperate choke supplies, WKZ's out the ying yang!
Only 50 or so Black Gates where harmed in this 2 piece unit.
5 Custom PCB, phono, 2 psw, digital processing unit, digital supply board.
Mikey can afford to go camping in style with what is in here :)
10W at 3% 5-40KHz -3, -1dB at 18-24KHz
Noise: 0.012mv of noise got to love that horn lovers
5 inputs (one line, one phono, Toslink, USB, BNC Spdif)
Follow Ups:
You say over 600 hours, so we are all thinking about 600 hours. Of course over 600 hours can be 1,000 hours, which is somewhat closer to the mark. We already feel inferior about being unable to do this quality of work, don't make us feel bad about how long it takes us to make inferior stuff.
Great looking work, and we do not have to listen to know what your products sound like. Now you have some fun.
BTW picked up some Altec (Peerless) 15K:15K linestage trannies to solve my problem.

Hi Jon:
Do you have the peerless part number for the 15K:15K trans? I cannot readily think of such a critter from the archives...
Hi Mike:
Yup, they are Altec 15335A's.
Sorry Steve, I picked up the last 2, no more from that source.
Jon Ver Halen
found it finally... errenously housed in the 15355 folder.
mol is +18 dbm
neat little guy... built on a high nickel square stack of EI's...
relatively low dcr's on both pri and sec windings
flux density of 1884 gauss at 6.15 vrms at 30 hz
curious how you were fimiliar with this part number paul?
> > curious how you were familiar with this part number paul?
I went on the 'Bay looking for 4722s, and got interested in the octal plug-in Altec/Peerless line. Some very practical units there, and if the 4722 is any indication, very good sounding.
After our phone talk this morning, I though some more and I think the 15335 can be used balanced to SE after all, though I agree it will show best in SE to SE applications.
Do you have the peerless part number for the 15K:15K trans? I cannot readily think of such a critter from the archives...
I'm wondering if, since it's from Altec, if it wasn't one designed by Ed Reichenbach who had some history with Altec before he started Reichenbach Engineering. Ed's son Tom, who now runs CineMag, has a 15k:15k input trannie in their lineup.
From CineMag's corporate profile page:
CineMag was founded in 1979 in North Hollywood, California. Its mission is to manufacture the very best audio magnetic components in the world. However, its history goes back to 1953 when its founder, Tom Reichenbach, was a youngster and was already making transformers with his father, Ed.
Edward Reichenbach's experience in the audio transformer business goes back to Altec Lansing during World War II. Starting there, he designed many transformers which ended up in their equipment. There are some interesting pictures of Ed at Altec Lansing on the Cork Board. After Ed left Altec Lansing he manufactured audio and power transformers and inductors on his own. Eventually, Ed formed Reichenbach Engineering and developed a line of transformers which became ubiquitous standards in the pro audio industry.
BTW picked up some Altec (Peerless) 15K:15K linestage trannies to solve my problem.
Any more where those came from? I'd like to grab a couple to play with when I've some free time.
By the way, if you intend to mount those in the amplifier chassis, be careful. Those high impedance input trannies can pick up quite a lot of noise from the power transformers. Even if they're in MuMetal cans.
Man, Gordon, your stuff is just the coolest. Working on an 300b integrated for my niece's 12th birthday, then to finish up my phono stage for myself. OK, maybe just get the noise floor down some more.
where do you get your toshibas?

Has a lot to do with rate you use up mag too. If there's not enough to go around, you wont notice the fibro benefits. Since it can take months to restore your levels via oral mag, using mag oil in addition to mag malate could be extremely beneficial.
It's not that it's not absorbable. Mag malate is a far superior choice than the mag oxide sold at the drugstore. Just that arent seeing the benefits yet. When Magnesium Makes Me Worse | Dr Carolyn Dean MD ND
Be sure to check your serving size too. One bottle of mine requires 6 tablets to equal around 400mg and my current bottle requires 3 tablets. Sneaky labeling.

Arrived this moring!
Let's be clear, Dishonred probably will not be a perfect game but it has a lot to give. A character deep, credible and mean with a story that pushes you forward as if by magic. If any of you have not yet played it is good you decide to play it… NOW!
And so the time has come to return to the battlefield with Black Ops 2. I admit that with fps games I'm not very good, I have a bad aim and reflexes are even worse. But I love playing with my friends on Xbox Live, where every game turns into an avalanche of jokes and teasing.
Just to let you see how I am incompetent, I did some video. But it's stronger than me, I enjoy it so much.
I'm not really good at FPS games… i think i'm getting old and the only think that pushes me to play them is my friends company on XboxLive.
We have done almost every title came out from modern warfare and we all think that Battlefield bad Company 2 was the best for us. But we are gamer and we always search for something new. Black ops is Like all the other Call of duty, damn fast and fun.
The thing i love most is the editor replay, and i love it not for show how good i m at kill other but just to share how me and my friends are nuts !!!
I'm simply the best in dying in stupid ways ^^
I love this one!
Well time to go!

Pride en Espanol
Latinos are caliente, and gays are fierce. What happens when you combine the two? You get Celebrate Orgullo (which means pride in Spanish). The first-ever Hispanic LGBT pride event will kick it this Saturday in Hialeah. Kidding! Of course itll take place in Miami Beach, silly. The events organizers including Ivan Cano of SoBes Palace Bar, a veritable den of gayness have put together a spicy lineup of Latin talent. Performers will include José of Minuto de Fama, Adora & Teddy Behr, Marytrini, Mariloly, and Shanay Bright. Headlining will be Grammy Award-winning Olga Tañón. But with the hugely successful Pride festival in Miami Beach, isnt Orgullo, like, overkill? From our experience at the successful Miami Beach Pride, we noticed that a significant portion of attendees were Hispanic and most were interested in those things that they could identify with. We felt the need to recognize members of our community that have supported the Hispanic LGBT community, and to achieve this, weve named Miami Beach Mayor Matti Bower as our honorary Orgullo queen, says Josue Santiago, one of the events founders and organizers. We guess there is only so much Lady Gaga and house music a Latino can take without craving some salsa and merengue

I received my Locklatch yesterday and fitted it to the back door of my home. The door needs to be open for my dog. The fitment was very easy, with the rivets and screws supplied, and the LockLatch™ works perfectly. Thank you very much and congratulations on a wonderful product. Willem ~ Wierdapark, SA
I like this idea especially if you keep your windows open for fresh air. Even though you have burglar proofing inside, this just gives you that extra sense of security that somebody wouldn't be able to open the window all the way to grab something from inside or force the burglar proofing open. Makes it a little bit safer and secure. It also gives you that extra few minutes to phone for help and to get your security company to come to your aid. I would put to on each window though. Great idea. Nicky Liu ~ Johannesburg, SA
The LockLatch™ door latch really works and my folks now feel safe at all times and they can have the safe ventilation that everybody needs. Jen Bairos ~ Hermanus, SA

Vital Signs for the Week of Dec. 15
The economy may finally be running on all cylinders. While consumers have been keeping it afloat over the past three years, businesses are beginning to spend as well. That's particularly good news for the manufacturing sector. The Federal Reserve will release its November data on industrial output on Tuesday, and economists surveyed by Informa Global Markets see a solid 0.5% monthly increase in output.
Business investment in tech equipment appears to the main driver. In October, production in high-technology industries -- such as computers, semiconductors, and telecom equipment -- was up 20.6% from a year ago.
There are also signs that other parts of the manufacturing sector are seeing better days. Indeed, both national and regional surveys of manufacturing activity are looking quite strong. However, pricing power is likely to remain elusive for many manufacturers. Producer prices fell 0.3% in November, and consumer prices are expected remain tame as well.
Meanwhile, the housing sector remains resilient. November new home starts are forecast to ease, but from a record high in October. And the Federal Reserve reiterated after its Dec. 12 monetary policy meeting that it's in no hurry to raise the federal funds rate, currently at 1%. That should continue to benefit the housing market in the form of lower interest rates.
However, a stronger economy could begin gradually pull up long-term rates higher. That would raise mortgage rates and have a cooling effect on the housing demand. Indeed, mortgage-refinancing activity is already sharply down from mid-year levels.
In addition, rising government and foreign-trade deficits could potentially force interest rates higher. The current account was probably smaller in the third-quarter than in the past two periods, but as a share of gross domestic product it should still stand above 5%.
In the past, a mark of more that 3% has often provoked questions about a nation's ability to finance its international obligations, and when its currency begins to weaken. That means interest rates may have to rise in order to keep enough foreign investment coming in to finance the deficits. If so, it would be a further drag on the housing sector.
Here's the week's economic calendar:
Monday, Dec. 15, 10 a.m. EST
The New York Federal Reserve Bank will release its December survey of business conditions for manufacturers in the New York Fed district. The headline manufacturing activity index hit another record high of 41, after establishing an all-time high in October of 34.1. The new orders and shipments indexes jumped to record levels in November as well, reaching 41.37 and 37.6, respectively. The November index tracking future expectations moved ahead, reaching 67, from 65.7 in October.
Monday, Dec. 15, 12:30 p.m. EST
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Alfred Broaddus speaks about the U.S. economy at the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Monday, Dec. 15, 1 p.m. EST
The National Association of Home Builders will release its December survey results, which will update housing market conditions by measuring builders' assessments of current sales, buyer traffic through model homes, and expected demand. The November index fell back to 69, from 72 in October, the highest reading in over three years. The index of single-family home sales jumped to remained strong at 78, from 79 in October. The biggest decline came in the index tracking traffic of prospective buyers, which fell to 46, from 52 in the previous month.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 7:45 a.m. EST
This weekly tracking of retail sales will update buying activity for the week ended Dec. 13. In the week ended Dec. 6, seasonally adjusted sales plunged 2.5%, after slipping 0.1% for the period ended Nov. 29, and a 0.4% gain for the period ended Nov. 22. While the 0.9% gain in monthly retail sales for November point to a solid start to the holiday shopping season, the weekly store sales figures show some weakness.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 8:30 a.m. EST
Consumer prices for all goods and services probably inched up by 0.1% in November. That's based on the median forecast of economists surveyed by Informa Global Markets. Consumer prices were unchanged in October, following gains of 0.3% in both September and August.
During October, consumer prices were up 2.0% from the same period a year ago. Yearly inflation would remain at that pace, given the November forecast. Excluding food and energy, prices most likely posted a similar 0.1% rise, after rising 0.2% in October and 0.1% in both September and August. Based on the expected 0.1% monthly rise, yearly core inflation would hold at 1.3% in November.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 8:30 a.m. EST
Inflation-adjusted weekly earnings of production workers over November most likely rose 0.3%, based on the month's 0.4% rise in average weekly earnings and the forecast 0.1% increase in the consumer price index for November. Real earnings in October jumped 0.5% from September, and were up by a similar 0.5% from the same period a year ago.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 8:30 a.m. EST
Housing starts probably eased to annual rate of 1.92 million in November, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Informa Global Markets. October housing starts hit a new record of 1.96 million at an annualized rate, after climbing to a pace of 1.91 million in September, from 1.83 in August. The Federal Reserve confirmed after its Dec. 12 Federal Open Market Committee meeting that it will maintain its accommodative monetary policy.
Many economists believe the U.S. central bank will keep the federal funds rate at 1% through the first quarter of 2004. If the Bank does move in line with expectations, the housing sector should be able to avoid a hard landing. As it stands now, 2003 should be a banner year for housing starts. Through October, starts in 2003 stand at an average annual rate of 1.8 million, on pace to exceed the 1.7 million level of 2002.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 8:55 a.m. EST
This weekly measure of retail activity will report on sales for the second fiscal week of December, ended Dec. 13. During the first three fiscal weeks of December, ended Dec. 13, sales were off 1% compared to the same period in November. For the full fiscal month of November, sales were off 2.8% compared to October.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 9:15 a.m. EST
Industrial output probably increased by a solid 0.5% during November, say economists surveyed by Informa Global Markets. In October, factory output expanded 0.2%, after a 0.5% jump in September. The average operating rate for all industries is expected to have inched up to 75.3%, from 75% in October.
Inventories fell in the third quarter, drawn down by a jump in demand. Economists now expect businesses to have started rebuilding inventories, which should lift industrial production. That belief is supported by recent national and regional manufacturing activity surveys. Indeed, the November national survey of factory activity from the Institute for Supply Management hit 62.8%, the best reading since 1983.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 9:30 a.m. EST
The Energy Information Administration releases its annual projections of U.S. energy supply and demand through 2025 in Washington, D.C.
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 10 a.m. EST
The current account deficit -- a kind of cash-flow statement of U.S. international business, including trade in goods and services, net investment income, and foreign transfers -- probably narrowed to $136 billion in the third quarter, after coming in at $138.7 billion in both the first and second quarters, from $128.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2002. During the second quarter of 2002, the current account stood at $122.8 billion.
The forecast $136 billion deficit would be about 5.5% of the gross domestic product, off from the recent peak of 5.8% of GDP in the first quarter. However, foreign investors are still apprehensive about the current account and federal government's deficits. Concern about America's ability to finance these deficits is a big reason the U.S. dollar is expected to keep falling against the euro and other major currencies.
Wednesday, Dec. 17, 7 a.m. EST
The Energy Dept. hosts a summit with energy ministers from over 20 countries. The purpose is to examine the state of the liquid natural gas (LNG) market, including both economic and public policy issues. The Summit is particularly timely as U.S. natural gas prices have shot up 69%, to over $6.70 per BTU since the end of October. The two-day Summit will be in Washington, D.C.
Wednesday, Dec. 17, 7 a.m. EST
The Mortgage Bankers Assn. releases its weekly tally of mortgage applications for both home buying and refinancing for the week ended Dec. 12. During the week ended Dec. 5 the purchase index dropped to 399.8, from 441.8 for the week ended Nov. 28, and 459.9 for the period ended Nov. 21. The latest reading of the four-week moving average through Dec. 5 managed to rise to 431.9, from 425.8 for the period ended Nov. 28.
The refi index also declined, dropping to 1775.5, from 2100 during the week ended Nov. 28, 2612.2 for the week ended Nov. 21. The refi index four-week moving average through Dec. 5 slid to 2132.9, from 2210.1 in the previous period. The average rate on a conventional 30-year mortgage, according to HSH Assoc., rose to 6.18% in the week ended Dec. 5.
Wednesday, Dec. 17, 11:30 a.m. EST
The Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank holds a news conference its 2004 economic outlook in Minneapolis.
Thursday, Dec. 18, 8:30 a.m. EST
First-time claims for jobless benefits for the week ended Dec. 13 probably slipped to 372,000, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Informa Global Markets. Jobless claims climbed to 378,000 for the week ended Dec. 6, from 365,000 over the week ended Nov. 29. The four-week moving average inched up to 364,750 for the week ended Dec. 6, from 362,500 for the week ended Nov. 29. During the week ended Nov. 29, continuing claims rose to 3.35 million, from 3.34 million for the week ended Nov. 22.
Thursday, Dec. 18, 10 a.m. EST
The Conference Board's composite report of leading economic indicators for November very likely improved by 0.3%, say economists surveyed by Informa Global Markets. In October, the index rose 0.4%, after holding steady in September. An improving picture for manufacturers and smaller levels of initial jobless claims are likely to push the index higher, with some drag by the falling level of money supply.
Thursday, Dec. 18, 12 p.m. EST
The Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank will release its December survey of business conditions in the mid-Atlantic region. According to economists surveyed by Informa Global Markets, the index of general business conditions probably stayed virtually unchanged to 25.8.
In November, the Philly Fed index moved lower, to 25.9, from 28 in October, and 14.6 in September. While the index is expected to fall for a second straight month, the level is still quite positive. Also encouraging was the employment index, which remained in positive territory at 3.3, after climbing to 5.5 in October. The outlook for the coming six months rebounded to 63.4, from 55.5 in October.
As part of the November survey, the Philly Fed asked the region's manufacturers whether they are gaining or losing business against foreign competitors and if they have increased or decreased outsourcing work. Over 54% of respondents said they lost domestic customers over the past three years to foreign competition, compared to just 2.3% who said they have gained customers. And 70.8% of those surveyed stated they have upped their outsourcing, with no respondents claiming to have reduced outsourcing.

French auction firm faces court test over sale of Hopi tribal masks
By Tim Gaynor
PHOENIX (Reuters) - A Paris auction house is facing a court hearing aimed at halting the controversial sale of a trove of antique tribal masks revered as sacred ritual artifacts by a Native American tribe in Arizona, an international tribal advocacy group said on Tuesday.
The Hopi Tribe, living in a dozen scattered villages on a northeastern Arizona reservation, wrote to auctioneer Neret-Minet Tessier & Sarrou last month asking it to cancel its planned sale of 70 objects including the sacred Katsinam masks, and asked for their return.
On Tuesday, London-based Survival International weighed into the dispute, sayings its lawyers had obtained permission from a Paris judge to take the auction house to court on Thursday, where it will call for the suspension of the auction.
The Hopi, some of whose 18,000 members continue to follow a traditional way of life farming on three isolated mesas, believe the bright, mostly fabric masks are imbued with the spirits of divine messengers, and they want them returned.
"It ought to be pretty clear to the auctioneers that the sale of these objects would cause profound hurt and distress to the Hopi people," Stephen Corry, Director of Survival International, said in a statement.
"To the Hopi, these are not museum objects but an intrinsic part of a thriving, living culture, which should be treated with respect. The auction house should think again and cancel the sale," he added.
According to a Neret-Minet catalog, the collection was assembled by "an amateur with assured taste" who lived in the United States for three decades. An email to the auction house seeking comment was not immediately answered on Tuesday.
Survival International wants the sale suspended pending a "proper examination of the lawfulness of the collection and its sale," the group said in a news release. Continued...

Festival Loses, Finds Recycling Partner
"The sheriff's office believes that Festival is a fabulous event for our parish and we are happy to participate in any way." After 20 years, Recycling Foundation withdrew its donation of recycling services to Festival International, leaving Festival organizers scrambling.
According to a press release by Festival International:
LCG Chief Administrative Officer Dee Stanley and his staff, Sheriff Mike Neustrom, Director of Corrections Rob Reardon, and UL-Lafayette's Office of Facility Management pulled together a new recycling effort. UL Lafayette's Manager of Grounds, Mike Hess, provided dozens of recycling bins from the University's events inventory. Sheriff Neustrom's inmate manufacturing facility, known as Lapcorr, mobilized its inmate labor force to glue 100 boxes together for delivery late this afternoon to the festival grounds. Inmate labor will also be used to empty the receptacles and load recyclable cans onto trucks for proper disposal.
Director of Corrections Rob Reardon says it was an easy decision to make for the LPSO, "The sheriff's office believes that Festival is a fabulous event for our parish and we are happy to participate in any way."
The press release sent by Festival goes on to say that:
Dee Stanley specifically singled out Greg Guidroz, a volunteer of 14 years with the Festival recycling crew, who showed up Wednesday to assist with recycling, only to find out it wasn't going to happen. "It is always a great moment when one of our citizens comes forward with a passion and dedication to do what is right. Thanks to Greg, we did not let this effort die. As soon as we heard of Festival's needs, we all put in the extra effort to make this happen. Our friends at UL and the Sheriff's office stepped in with absolutely no notice to get this done." As a result, more than 150 recycling containers will be delivered this afternoon to the festival grounds. We encourage all festival participants to use them properly."
Thanks to all who helped "rescue" the recycling efforts that are so important to Festival and to Acadiana!

Facebook Aims To Strengthen Loyalty With Facebook Home, But The App Suits Facebook More Than Its Users
Posted by Charles Golvin on April 4, 2013
- 296 Recommendations
- 4 comments
Speculation leading up to today's Facebook Android announcement painted a picture of significant disruption, including Facebook's own branded device running a customized version of Android — potentially implying a Facebook app and content store and its own distinct retail sales model. But none of that makes sense for Facebook. Facebook wants to put itself at the front of the user experience for as many of its customers as possible and to make Facebook more elemental to its customers' experience. It has made strides in that direction with its integration into iOS 6, BB10, and even Windows Phone, but it has leapt further forward today with its new Android Home application, which enables:
- An all-Facebook home screen.
- "Chat heads" — a Facebook wrapper around communications.
- A custom app launcher.
The new HTC device is really just a showcase — demanding that its customers purchase new hardware to realize this more Facebook-centric experience would have been a fool's errand. Rather, Facebook users who own an Android phone (initially a handful of HTC and Samsung phones in the US, expanding to other devices running at minimum 3.x versions of Android) will be able to download the new Facebook Home app and put Facebook at the center of their mobile experience.
It's clear that Facebook wants to be the focus of its users' mobile experience, but is that desire mutual? Do customers really want that? Color us doubtful. Consumers around the world rely on a range of communications tools and applications, Facebook being only one — and in markets outside the US, it's far from a dominant one. According to data shared with us by Mobidia, time spent in the Facebook app accounts for less than 9% of total device time in the US and is far outstripped in places like Spain and Brazil by time spent in the popular WhatsApp messaging app:
What does this mean for Facebook's role in the broader ecosystem battle being waged among Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others? While Facebook has a strong loyalty gravitational pull, that force spans ecosystems; it is not a competing ecosystem of its own.
Finally, where's the money in this? Since Facebook's business model is almost exclusively advertising-based, Facebook must envision a radical shift in the future chain of commerce — moving awareness and discovery from search to social, powered by Facebook's trove of personal information to enrich the value of the ads it enables. Such a disruption in behavior will take a long time to obtain.

I couldn't agree with you more. One has to wonder if the consumer is really front and center of the strategy? One question I have for you ... this isn't the first "Facebook" or social media centered phone that we've seen. We saw INQ do this 5+ years ago ... I don't have sales numbers, but am not sure we'd call that a success. We saw Microsoft launch the KIN ... maybe was on the market for a few months before killed off. That was a social networking centered phone. What analysis do you think Facebook has done that leads them to believe they will now be successful where hardware manufacturers have failed in the past? Overall mobile usage? Quality of services?
I think you're being overly
Comment from Charles Golvin on Thu, 04/04/2013 - 16:28
I think you're being overly generous — while the INQ phone wasn't the scintillating failure of the KIN, it was clearly no success.
I don't know what analysis Facebook has done, but it appears that their design originates from a presumption of the central role that Facebook plays in its users lives — an exaggerated and incorrect assumption, IMO.
The success bar is, in some ways, lower than INQ or MSFT because their investment is only in software. I can believe that operators like AT&T will see benefit if more engagement with Facebook leads to more posts, more data usage, and increased data allocations. Facebook will benefit from greater engagement among those who install Facebook Home, but it's unclear how that translates into revenue in the near or mid term.

Comment from Julie Ask on Thu, 04/04/2013 - 17:13
But many of us are on fixed price plans ... do the carriers really want us to use more data? or is it perceived value of the service?
Last paragraph says it
Comment from Steven Davis (not verified) on Tue, 04/09/2013 - 10:29
Last paragraph says it all.
Even if FB executes perfectly and gets a foothold in the mobile OS market, where's the cash?

The NFL draft is now just more than a day away. Here is a primer on what Buffalo Bills fans should know entering the festivities.
- WHAT: NFL Draft
- WHEN: Day one starts at 8 p.m. Thursday. Day two starts at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Day three starts at noon Saturday.
- ON TV: The NFL Network and ESPN will both cover the draft.
- DRAFT ORDER: The Houston Texans hold the top pick. They're widely expected to take South Carolina defensive end with the top pick. Rounding out the top five are the St. Louis Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders.
- THE BILLS' DRAFT: The Bills hold pick No. 9 overall. Their full cache of picks is as follows, in numeric order with the round first:
- Pick 9 overall
- Pick 41 overall
- Pick 73 overall
- Pick 109 overall
- Pick 149 overall
- Pick 185 overall
- Pick 224 overall
- WHO THE BILLS WILL PICK: As is the case every year, rumors of all sorts have swirled around the Bills' first-round pick. Some say they're sure to take tall wide receiver Mike Evans. Others are convinced they're taking lanky tight end Eric Ebron. Still others say they'll trade down. This is a partial list of pre-draft visitors they've had: Zack Martin, Bradley Roby, Kyle Fuller, C.J. Mosley, Jake Matthews, Odell Beckham Jr., Ryan Shazier, Sammy Watkins, Ebron, Evans. The Bills were coy in showing their hand at their pre-draft luncheon.
"I would say we're in the 'five to six' range of guys that we would consider elite," said Jim Monos, the team's director of player personnel.
- RECENT HISTORY: Last year, the Bills took quarterback EJ Manuel in the first round. He was preceded as a first-round Bills pick by cornerback Stephon Gilmore in 2012, defensive tackle Marcell Dareus in 2011, running back C.J. Spiller in 2010 and center Eric Wood in 2009. Last year also saw them take receiver Robert Woods and linebacker Kiko Alonso in the second round.

" Share reality television shows you enjoy with others. "
On returning from our holiday we found that our old TV had decided to die on our house sitter one day before we returned. Now my husband likes to research big purchases like TVs so spent a few days looking at the options before we bought a replacement.
Now I normally dont have a lot of time for television but was jet lagged and couldnt go out too much, having just spent all my pennies on holiday so really wanted to watch some TV.
Now I got hooked on a terribly bad taste TV show when visiting New Zealand last year. It is called "The Biggest Loser" -basically a competition where obese participants have to excersize and eat heathily in a weight loss competion.
When out in New Zealand this year I saw that there was a new version of this show on and wanted to try and find it on the net.
So I stumbled across realitytvfan.org.
This website is the place for your if you are a reality TV fan. It is basically a site where fans talk about and watch their favourite reality shows.
Youtube is used to upload entire episodes of these shows so you can watch directly from the site or from Youtube using the link from this site.
There are forums for discussing shows too and excellent narratives about each show.
Key shows that are featured include (not an exhaustive list!!!)
Big Brother (UK,US, Australia)
Biggest Loser (Australia, US)
Survivor (US, UK and Australia)
The Amazing Race
The Apprentice (US)
Hells Kitchen (UK)
Next Top Model (UK, US, Canada, New Zealand the list goes on)
Project Runway
How to use
Just go to the site and search for your program. Provided that you have a media player installed on your computer you will be able to view the sites.
Alternatively go to www.youtube.com and search for the episodes that you want.
If you have a cable that connects your computer to your TV then you can watch on TV.
£0.00 - yup absolutely free - unless you count the electricity and broadband.
The picture is a little bit fuzzy but nothing to shout home about - the sound quality is great.
I think so - since youtube have not taken the programs down - but don't quote me on that.
No - just click on the links that you want to watch. You are able to sign up for "email alerts" for your favourite shows.
Very entertaining - but for me I just want to watch my trashy shows!

Finding Aids
Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah
How to Participate
Please collaborate on a specific year's (1847-1868) project page. If you have an ancestor who was a Mormon pioneer consult the link listed under finding aids to verify the year of your ancestor's migration. Then after getting yourself added as a collaborator for that year navigate to your ancestor's profile and under the "More Actions" link choose "Add to Project" and select the Mormon Pioneer project to which your ancestor should be included on.
- Include in the "About Me" section of each person a brief biographical sketch of their lives. See any of the pioneers on the 1847 Brigham Young project as an example.
- Include a photograph of your ancestor if one exists.
- Your pioneer's profiles should be marked as "public" and not "private".
- All included profiles should include full identifying information including birth and death dates as well as birth and death locations. It would also be very helpful if the immediate family of your pioneer ancestor, (their parents, siblings and children) profiles were public profiles also.
Death Rates for Mormon Pioneers:
"...Mormon pioneer immigrants of the nineteenth century experienced a monumental endeavor fraught with considerable difficulty and danger. Both transoceanic and transcontinental travel was attended with increased risk because of a wide variety of acute diseases, communicable illness, and accidental injury. It was not an undertaking to be taken lightly.
Many of the immigrants paid with their lives in the effort to follow the advice of Church leaders to gather with the Saints in Zion. The exact number of Saints who died is not known, but estimates suggest that between 1846–69, some forty-two hundred to five thousand perished during some phase of the journey. Some 670–700 died crossing the Atlantic or the Pacific, while another 3,400–4,300 died during the overland journey. The period from 1846–48 stands out as the years with the highest death rate and most intense affliction. Some data suggest that overall death rates were lower than the 4 to 6 percent that characterized groups on the other overland trails, despite the fact that Mormon immigrant parties typically included larger numbers of young, elderly, and infirm than did the average immigrant group of the day, which was comprised primarily of young, healthy adults.
The equanimity and determination with which the Latter-day Saint immigrants faced these trials are a testament to their faith in the cause in which they were involved..."

EDHEC-Risk Institute Responds to Barron's: 'Simulated' Performance Beneficial For Investors
Noel Amenc, chief executive of ERI Scientific Beta and director of the EDHEC Risk Institute, responded with a three-page letter to my blog post "Backtests, Damned Backtests and Statistics," which took the firm to task for headlining the "100%" outperformance of an index it has built.
You can read my argument in full at the above link, so here's Amenc letter in its entirety:
19 June 2014
Dear Mr Conway,
This letter is our response to your invitation to comment on the blog post titled "Backtests, Damned Backtests and Statistics," which objects to our reporting a 100% historical probability of outperformance by the Developed Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy ERC Index relative to the capitalisation-weighted index representative of the universe from which the aforementioned index draws its constituents on the basis that, with the benefit of hindsight, it is always possible to "find what would have been the last decade's killer strategy." Your post then reports statistics showing the importance of controlling for asset-selection and weighting scheme effects when evaluating the performance of a strategy and quotes academic research looking at the relationship between in-sample optimisation and out-of-sample performance, which (correctly) "argues that "overfitting" backtests is tantamount to fraud." The subtext, which is confirmed in your email to our customer service, is that the performance statistics we have presented were prepared with the benefit of hindsight and are misleading.
As the index provision arm of an academic institution, ERI Scientific Beta puts high emphasis on the verifiability and integrity of its track records. While you may not be aware of it, our parent institution, EDHEC-Risk Institute has frequently and publicly drawn the attention of investors and regulators to the risks to the integrity of index track records in both active (e.g. alternative investment manager databases and indices) and passive management. In the context of the recent regulatory reviews of indexing vehicles and index provision, EDHEC-Risk Institute has called on European and global regulators to mandate significant progress in transparency and fairness to investors and notably to ensure that all interested parties be given the tools to verify the accuracy and integrity of the track records published by index providers (see, inter alia, the Institute's contribution to the IOSCO consultation on financial benchmarks.)
By nature, it is not possible to provide live track records for financial innovations; if banning innovation is not possible, then would-be early adopters need to either rely on the trust they have developed in the person presenting the innovation (e.g. her reputation as a star asset manager or the company's brand equity) or on track records mostly or solely based on pre-inception performance. Scientific Beta considers that simulated track records are beneficial to investors wishing to assess the relevance and suitability of financial innovations in the context of their specific goals and constraints, provided a number of prerequisites are met.
First, would-be adopters and interested third-parties should be allowed to verify the basic integrity of reported track records by replicating pre- and post-inception performance (e.g. up to the latest rebalancing) on the basis of a fully-disclosed methodology and the necessary historical information (notably index levels and constituents.) This information should be available on a complimentary and non-discriminatory basis and for the longest period possible. In this regard, we find a lot of merit in the strict conditions set forth by the United States Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to regulate the use of pre-inception performance data for the marketing of exchange-traded products to institutional investors (FINRA, 2013) and our parent institution has recommended the imposition of similar rules whenever simulated performance is used to market indices. By the same token, EDHEC-Risk Institute has lauded the new eligibility rules for the use of financial indices by UCITS as set forth by the European Securities and Markets Association (ESMA, 2012) and called for their extension to other vehicles and jurisdictions. Faithful to this spirit, ERI Scientific Beta is the only index provider providing full complimentary transparency on the methodologies of all of its indices along with the full history of index levels and constituents up to the latest quarterly index revision (this information is accessible directly from our online platform.) In so doing, Scientific Beta promotes the highest standards of transparency within an industry which has actively lobbied against the provision of such essential information to investors and now interprets regulatory guidelines to defeat their purposes (on this issue, you may refer to recent work by our parent institution titled Index Transparency – A Survey of European Investors' Perceptions, Needs and Expectations.)
Transparency so defined allows for verifying that the track record of an index corresponds to the systematic application of a clearly defined methodology, which is a necessary first step in due diligence. It also empowers would-be index users and other interested parties to conduct advanced quantitative analyses to understand the sources of performance and risk characteristics of indices and asses their relevance and suitability. To assist investors with such due diligence, Scientific Beta provides complimentary analytics on all of its indices. The probability of outperformance to which your blog post refers is part of the complimentary robustness analysis tools available on our platform. As you are well aware, the return observed over any period depends only on two observations–the entry and exit points–and as such is extremely period-dependent; this makes future returns difficult to estimate efficiently (see Merton, 1980), but where discretion is allowed, it makes it particularly easy to choose a period yielding a return that serves the interests of the person reporting the performance. The probability of outperformance statistics greatly reduces the opportunity for such gaming by showing how often the smart beta index has outperformed the reference index in the past for a given holding period, whatever the entry point within the history being analysed. We consider that this intuitive and straightforward metric should be disclosed whenever a manager or index provider reports performance averaged over multiple holding periods, which by construction cannot reflect the volatile manner in which performance accrues and thus entails the potential to mislead.
Verifying the basic integrity of a track record on the basis of a fully-disclosed index methodology allows for detecting outright fabrication and gross manipulations and for identifying areas for concerns (e.g. exercise of discretion, use of erroneous or poorly documented assumptions or spurious justifications) that entail risks that the index integrity may have been compromised at a more fundamental level (as with conscious in-sample optimisation, inadvertent contamination by hindsight, or model-mining resulting in attractive but spurious out-of-sample performance over the period studied.)
Your blog post correctly alludes to the need to look beyond performance statistics and ensure that the sources of performance can be identified and understood. In this regard, we consider that the best guarantee of robustness, in particular with respect to model-mining, is the existence of an economic rationale for the sources of index performance and the minimisation of discretion in the way these sources are tapped. Because complexity and discretion facilitate data- and model-mining, it has been our constant preoccupation in our index design to adopt parsimonious and consensual models, assumptions and constraints, which are directly derived from scientific publications. For example, all of our multi-beta indices rely on factors (Value, Momentum, Size, Low Volatility) for which economic rationales have been provided and empirical evidence has been presented (for a start, refer to Fama and French, 1993 and Carhart, 1997.) Exposure to each factor is established by factor tilting the universe of candidate constituents, which we do by ranking all stocks in the reference universe according to a unique and generally-accepted metric (rather than via a proprietary selection and combination of metrics, which may evoke fond recollections of fundamental analysis, but opens the door to overfitting) and retaining all stocks on the targeted side of the median (mid-point.)
In the end, whatever the sophistication of robustness analyses, it is important that the index provision market be made informationally efficient, which presupposes that regulators ensure that all interested parties enjoy non-discriminatory access to the detailed methodologies and historical composition of indices along with the right to analyse this data and publish the results of their research. Whereas the latter conditions are not met, we have voluntarily given complimentary access to the methodologies, historical data and basic analytics for all the indices offered on the Scientific Beta platform to contribute to a public debate on these innovations. In the same spirit, we welcome the opportunity you provided us to comment upon your blog post and look forward to a fact-based and constructive dialogue on the development of indices which may be a disruptive force in the investment management industry but hold the promise of democratising sixty years of advances in financial economics research for the benefit of end-investors.
Yours sincerely,
Noël Amenc, PhD
Chief Executive Officer, ERI Scientific Beta
Director, EDHEC Risk Institute
Conway's two cents: I'm glad for the considered response, but I don't think it detracts from the original blog post. The objection is to the act of bannering "100%" outperformance by any strategy over a specified time period. I objected because the unstated implication is that the strategy beats the market all the time.
If that were true, wouldn't every investor want to own it? And wouldn't a rush to own it today reduce its efficacy in the future?
Mr. Amenc seems to be arguing that investors in new strategies have to either trust the person who built the strategy or find the best math with which to evaluate it, and that EDHEC takes the most precautions possible ensuring the quality of its math.
Fair and good. But there is a third option Mr. Amenc leaves unstated: Do nothing. Give new investing strategies time to prove themselves, watch closely if you like. That option, of course, is not very helpful to those who build new investing strategies.

Ask Computer Networking Questions and Get Answers ASAP
Building dimensions:
Length: 240 Feet
Width: 95 Feet
Height: 30 Feet
The 40-year-old two-story building has the following existing layout:
There are 6 computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of these labs will have 21 computers (20 student computers and 1 instructor computer). Each of these labs will also have a server in the closet located inside the lab.
In addition to the 6 computer labs, there will also be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students to do their homework. There will be 30 computers in this lab and a server in the closet.
The library will also have some computers to allow students access to the library resources. There will be 10 computers for student's use in the library, and 5 computers for Library staff.
There are 4 lecture classrooms in the building. Each of these rooms will have a computer for an instructor's use.
Finally, there are various offices in the building. Each of these offices will have 1 computer for the staff use, with the exception of the Admission office that will have 5 computers for staff use.
2 server rooms have been allocated. 1 on the first floor, and 1 on the second floor.
Your task is to design the network for this new building using the following criteria:
1.) Student-accessed computers should be on a separate network from the staff-accessed computers. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the Administrative network. The computers in the instructional computer labs and classrooms that will be used for classes should be on the Instructional network. The wifi and the computers in the student lobby should be in the Public network.
2.) The whole building will share one Internet access connection (T-1 link from Verizon). This connection will come into the Server Room on the first floor. The Public IP address for the router there is 184.108.40.206
3.) There needs to be some sort of security setup across the network in order to protect students and employee's data on the servers and computers.
4.) The network has been assigned the 10.15.0.0 network address for all computers and devices.
5.) The network must use physical cables, but can provide wireless access in the Student Lobby area.
Submission should be no more than 3 pages long, excluding diagrams and must include the following:
Network Addressing:
Define the subnet (based on: rooms, floor, department, or other criteria).
For each subnet, explain which devices/groups/users/rooms will be on this subnet, define the network address, subnet mask, and available IP addresses to be used by computers or devices.
Physical Network Design:
Define the topology that will be used.
Select the appropriate network media to use.
Select the appropriate network connecting devices to use.
Physical layout of the computers on the floor plan.
List of additional servers or network devices needed to implement the network.
Justifications for your network design (number 1 – 5 above)
You will be evaluated on your ability to
Implement appropriate IP addressing scheme
Select and justify appropriate cable media that includes the length of each cable segment and number of nodes on each segment
Select and justify appropriate topology such as star, bus, or ring for your network
Select and justify of your selected network equipments
Select and justify appropriate network services to meet network requirements
Select and justify security implementation for the network
Usage of proper grammar, formatting, network terminology, and any usage of reference citations.
You will be payed on the basis of right media, topology and knowledge of networking concepts. You must be sure that you demonstrate:
Proper subnetting for the network and providing all the IP addressing information needed.
That your designs on a network met all the requirements and that you are able to justify your designs.
That you are able to elaborate on any technical knowledge that you convey.
Hi, I have created versions of this previously
Let me know if they will be suitable
Hey thanks for the quick reply Steve. This is actually exactly what you did for that first submission (CMIT265) so I think that might work.
no problem
feel free to work that however needed
Yeah looks like I would need to just swap up a few of the routing IP's and possibly the network address. But, it should work.
Let me just tweek it for a minute here and give it a once over, then we should be all set :)
Ok, I've attached the edited version to this reply, please look over the IP's and Networking addresses for me just to make sure everything matches the criteria from my original question.http://www.mediafire.com/download/bb3ejdoi30q0dw9/revisions.doc
no problem, checking now
and don't worry about the file I'll delete it after we're done so no one else can access it.
that all looks good
Ok cool :)Thanks a ton for all your help here Steve, I really appreciate it. I'll be sure to leave you good feedback.
you're welcome
