I have come across people start with Vajrayana and at the end, they condemn it. The problem is the foundation of Mahayana is not strong.
So if I can suggest, you should study Lamrim Or Lamdre as the backbone of your stability ad faith.
Though this won't be true for everyone, I think it is nonetheless very true for a great many people. Abidharma is also very important to get a grasp of.
Agree with both of these statements. I think that there is a lot of lip service paid to the necessity to gain proper foundations - I'm talking years of practice/inquiry - before entering a vajra path. But in reality, at least in the west, it is rarely practiced like that. Often with a justification: life is short/it's the kaliyuga/just jump in.....I think that attitude often produces bad consequences.

August Happenings
Hi guys!
Wow, just to think, this time about a year ago, all y'all were converging upon Portland, not yet having consumed chia pudding, any Voodoo Doughnuts or the treats at Upton's Pop-Up Sandwich Shop. And now, a year later, here we are. Gearing up for Vida Vegan Con Numero Dos in May 2013 and the first (of many to follow) one-day seminars in Seattle this November.
August is a busy month for us at Vida Vegan HQ. We've got several fun happenings.
Tech Seminar
We're SO EXCITED (so excited) for our one-day tech seminar in Seattle on Saturday November 3. We just released class descriptions and speaker bios on our blog; check it out here if you missed it.
We're covering everything from social media to graphic design to podcasting; basically, everything you ever wanted to know about blogging tech but were afraid or didn't know to ask.
Plus, if you haven't heard yet, the one-and-only-just-opened Veggie Grill will be providing lunch for all attendees <insert squee here>.
Plus, if you like, totally want to come, but totally can't afford it, we're offering two sponsorship opportunities.
Foodista's International Food Bloggers Conference (IFBC) is descending upon Portland TODAY for a weekend of fabulous food-blogging nerding out. The ladies of Vida Vegan HQ are thrilled to have been asked to speak at a breakout session called "Niche Blogging." We'll be discussing:
…the methods and reasoning behind niche blogging–vegan, gluten-free, kosher, they're not for everyone! As a niche blogger, how do you define your focus? How do you handle the extra pressure of writing for those outside your niche? Is your blog part of a mission? How do you develop a sense of community among like-minded bloggers?
Stay tuned to our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds to follow along with our adventures.
Speaking of Instagram, Vida Vegan now has an account! Michele runs the Vida Vegan HQ Instagram feed.
As for the other organizers, Jess, @jdfunks, Instagrams pics of cats, Portlanding and her ongoing 100 Days of Homemade Series. A few pics:
Janessa, @janessapk, Instagrams homemade and resaturant-made vegan food and cocktails and pretty pictures of Portland.
Vegan Talk and Presentation at Rose Schnitzer Manor
Rose Schnitzer Manor, an assisted living home in the suburbs of Portland, recently asked the ladies of Vida Vegan Con to present information and recipes about vegan proteins in their "Epicurean Delights" series.
We've created a couple of recipes (NW Berry Salad and Classy Tofu Mac & Cheese topped with crispy shallots) and are headed out to Beaverton this Tuesday, August 28, to speak with the residents who are very curious and interested to learn about vegan food. Needless to say, we're super excited for the opportunity to talk with dozens of folks who don't have too much experience with or knowledge of vegan proteins.

Gallbladder cancer is cancer that begins in the gallbladder.
Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your liver. The gallbladder stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by your liver.
Gallbladder cancer is uncommon. When gallbladder cancer is discovered at its earliest stages, the chance for a cure is very good. But most gallbladder cancers are discovered at a late stage, when the prognosis is often very poor.
Gallbladder cancer is difficult to diagnose because it often causes no specific signs or symptoms. Also, the relatively hidden nature of the gallbladder makes it easier for gallbladder cancer to grow without being detected.

A lot of trolls kicking about here right now, If you could ban one poster who would it be and why?
A lot of trolls kicking about here right now, If you could ban one poster who would it be and why?
Isnt a Troll somebody who posts with the sole purpose of harassing other users and trying to annoy others? Are you a communist by any chance? As it seems you dont like opinions voiced that you don't agree with. With your post id say it is in fact a troll post as you posted with the sole intention of causing a discussion that could lead to members been victimised and singled out so my vote goes to you Sir. I have a idea why don't Cage warriors ban all users who you and your friends do not agree with and forget about traffic and just aim to please you as you obviously seem mentally scarred by something I have wrote. All I have to say to you is this if you have trouble dealing with somebody on the Internet do you think you are mentally strong enough for a sport like MMA? Just a question.
Plus your idea is flawed im not the smartest of lads but even I know how to use a Vps. If I was banned though personally I would not come back out of respect to friends and the cage warriors show but some might just return over and over and if they are as you say a Troll then the chances are they will know how to get round something such as a Ip ban. Most of you have Troll accounts so pot calling kettle by a few.

Seriously tho who gives a fuck? I lurked here for ages before creating an account,then everyone went to TFL,then a lot of the posters stopped posting here after TFL virus thingy. Folk moan about trolls but i bet a lot of it is down to sheer boredom (ie my last post).Plenty of current stuff (who will win/predictions etc) but not many decent threads that make for interesting discussion. People get shot down when asking for help quite a lot,albeit some daft questions at times, but if people were busy giving their opinions on interesting topics then they wouldnt be (badly shit btw) trolling.
Personally, ive asked for a bit of info lately for a trip im going on and didnt even get so much as a "check the internet,mong"- Nothing. Is this what we've become? Last question: Does anyone know a fucking cricket forum I can post on for some banter???
this chap is quite entertaining.
but yeh, people should be posting more, not banning people. babycakes isnt a troll i don't think. trolls have always been a valued part of CW. annoying ones will be banned but i dont think there's too many these days. and you cant ban someone just for being a dimlo with dopey opinions....

One day after Andrea Alarcón announced she was temporarily stepping down from the Los Angeles Board of Public Works amid a child endangerment probe, City Councilman Richard Alarcón defended his daughter and said he was glad she was "seeking the professional help she needs."
Andrea Alarcón is under investigation after police found her 11-year-old daughter wandering City Hall unattended shortly before midnight on Nov. 16.
The police investigation follows revelations that Andrea Alarcón, 33, was arrested in December on suspicion of driving under the influence and cruelty to a child because her daughter was in the car.
In a statement released Friday, Richard Alarcón said his daughter and granddaughter have a "beautiful relationship" and he was "proud of Andrea's ability to balance single parenting with an intense professional career."
"Obviously, as a father, I am concerned about the recent reports in the media about my daughter. As a family, we take these matters very seriously and are supporting Andrea and my granddaughter through this difficult time.
"I do not believe these incidents have affected Andrea's job performance," he added. "She is recognized as an amazing talent at City Hall. But I am pleased that Andrea is seeking the professional help she needs to resolve these matters."
The child endangerment probe by the Los Angeles Police Department was triggered when her daughter was found by officers as she wandered around City Hall after a gala.
According to a source close to the case, her daughter was taken to the LAPD's Central Division, where a child endangerment report was taken, and a representative from the Department of Children and Family Services summoned.
Andrea Alarcón was reached about 2 a.m, said the source, and came downtown to retrieve her daughter.
The incident occurred the same night that Project Restore, a preservation and architecture group, held an event honoring Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on the south steps of City Hall. The event ended by about 9:30 p.m., according to several participants who attended.
Two guests interviewed by the Daily News, who asked not to be identified, said they assumed Andrea Alarcón attended the party, but did not personally see her, or her daughter, at the event.
Following a news report about the incident, Villaraigosa issued a statement Thursday from Andrea Alarcón, in which she indicated she would seek professional help, but didn't specify the treatment.
The police probe marks the latest drama to roil the Alarcóns, a politically influential family that's long held prominent City Hall positions.
Councilman Alarcón and his wife, Flores Montes de Oca are currently awaiting trial on perjury and voter fraud charges for allegedly living outside the 7th Council District boundaries, and lying about it.
A graduate of Georgetown University and Loyola Law School, Andrea Alarcón worked for the offices of California Attorney General Bill Lockyer and Attorney General Jerry Brown, according to her biography on the Department of Public Works web site.
She was appointed president of the Board of Public Works in 2011, two years after being named to the board by Villaraigosa, and makes more than $127,000 a year, according to the city controller's website.
Her mother, Corina Alarcón, has been active in politics, serving as president of the Fire Commission, and on the Board of Police Commissioners and the city's Building and Safety Commission, among other duties.
In an email on Friday, Villaraigosa spokesman Peter Sanders said the length of Andrea Alarcón's leave of absence hasn't been determined. She will use her sick time during her leave, he said.
Capri Maddox, a commissioner on the Board of Public Works, will take on Andrea Alarcón's duties while she is gone, Sanders added.

The hopes of Providence's version of the "Fab Five" created by Michigan years ago took a hit over the weekend as 2014 point guard Kaleb Joseph committed to Syracuse while on an official visit, choosing the former Big East school over Providence and West Virginia. Joseph had previously stated that Syracuse has been his dream school since he was a child and he must have become comfortable with the threat of limited playing time behind freshman point guard Tyler Ennis, who Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said is "as good as any point guard we've brought in here."
While the proposed "Friar Five" is no longer a reality and there is increasing anxiety amongst Friartown that this recruiting class may not turn out as successful as once hoped, let's remember that Ed Cooley has already secured a commitment from a consensus top 50 player nationally in Jalen Lindsey. In addition to Lindsey, Providence is in good position with several other recruits to turn the 2014 recruiting class into yet another successful one. Let's take a look at some of the remaining targets of Providence in the class of 2014 and update the current state of their recruitment.

With superheroes everywhere from the box office to toy shelves to Happy Meal boxes, it's hard to believe that what future pop-culture historians might call the "superhero age" began just 70 years ago. And even then, the rest of the world wouldn't thrill to the exploits of that "strange visitor from another planet" — Superman, the archetype of all today's costumed do-gooders — for another five years.
In 1933, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were just two Cleveland 19-year-olds. Enamored of comic strips and science-fiction novels, they dreamed up their own creation combining the two. A Chicago publisher expressed interest but ultimately rejected their "Superman" idea. Crushed, Shuster burned all his artwork except the cover.

BARSTOW - Christmas gifts took on a new meaning for one Inland Empire family thanks to the efforts of the Child Abduction Unit of the District Attorney's Office.
George Conde, 21, of Barstow came home from work one day in September to find his wife had packed a bag and left the state with their 2-year-old son, Aiden, and this isn't the first time she'd done this, according to San Bernardino County court records.
In February 2010, Conde's wife, Tiffany Conde, took Aiden to her mother's home in Moulton, Ala., to start a new life, said Larry Jackson, an investigator for the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office.
When she returned a few months later, George Conde obtained a court order that neither he nor his wife could take their son out of the state without written permission from the other parent, Jackson said.
According to investigators, a court order wasn't enough to keep Tiffany from taking Aiden to Alabama to live with her mother a second time in September.
George Conde, a manager at Barstow's Domino's Pizza and a part-time criminal justice student, found himself devastated when his wife allegedly went against the order, refusing to even let him talk to his son, he said in a phone interview.
George Conde immediately involved Jackson and another district attorney's investigator, Karen Cragg.
"God gave me a second chance with my son when he put Larry and Karen in my life," George Conde said. "They were the elves that delivered the only Christmas gift I wanted, my son."
Jackson was able to establish Tiffany's whereabouts.
Alabama authorities were contacted and after an intense search, they found Tiffany and Aiden.
They took her into custody on suspicion of violating the original court order and held Conde's son so he could be taken care of until California investigators could arrive to take custody of the boy.
Tiffany Conde is in a Moulton jail cell awaiting extradition to California.
The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office has yet to file charges against Tiffany Conde.
Recovering Aiden was the beginning of a whirlwind trip over the Christmas weekend, said Jerry Villanueva, supervisor of the Child Abduction Unit.
Jackson arrived at work on Dec. 20. He noticed the message light on his phone blinking. He listened to the message from the Alabama authorities, grabbed his ready bag and his partner and headed out to catch a flight to Alabama.
They flew to Huntsville, Ala., where they met with local authorities who handed over Aiden to them, said Villanueva.
Then came the return flight.
It was Christmas weekend with a huge storm going through that area of the country, causing the cancellation of over 1,000 flights.
The two investigators became worried that they too might miss Christmas with their families.
Flight after flight was either booked or canceled and the two were starting to get a little anxious, Jackson said.
Investigative Technician Michelle Faxon and unit secretary Alberta Mendez began frantically trying to find them a flight home, said Villanueva.
They finally found a flight into Los Angeles International Airport just after midnight Saturday.
"It was a team effort to make this happen and something that goes on each and every time a child is recovered," Jackson said. "Everyone pitches in so we can make it happen."
Jackson said his office is very aggressive when it comes to child-abduction cases.
"There's no reason anyone should go through this," he said. "The one who gets hurt the most is the child."
Jackson and Cragg's boss wasn't surprised that the two didn't put off the trip until after Christmas.
"He and Karen just did what needed to be done," said Villanueva. "Their unselfish attitude reunited a family just in time for the yuletide holiday celebrations."
The team landed at LAX just around 2 a.m. Dec. 23. Jackson and Cragg emerged from the airport terminal and handed the toddler to his teary-eyed father.
"He's my life," Conde said. "These strangers helped me get him back. I can never repay them for what they did."
It was the greatest gift he'd ever received, he said.
"The best part of this job is when you can reunite a family," said Jackson. "That's the reward."

Gretchen's Muse
Prussian Quartets
Date: Thursday, November 21, 2013
Gretchen's Muse, joined by internationally renowned cellist Beiliang Zhu performs selections from string quartets of Mozart and Haydn written for King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia, himself an accomplished cellist. Both composers wrote a set of "Prussian" quartets--Mozart's featuring highly virtuosic and prominent cello parts; Haydn's with interesting and vital roles for all, though the cello parts are somewhat less soloistic. These quartets reflect a shift in quartet writing from its first-violin-centered beginnings towards a more egalitarian approach to the voices; a nod back to Baroque textures such as trio sonata and fugue.
Abigail Karr, violin
Vita Wallace, violin

William BargetziAffiliation:
University of Alabama Huntsville
Brass Band of Huntsville
Artist's Biography
Billy has been playing professionally for 20+ years all over the United States, the Caribbean, and in Europe. From 1988-1991, Billy attended The University of Southern Mississippi, where he was in just about every musical ensemble on campus with a trombone in it- including the award winning USM trombone group The Hub Bones. While studying with Dr. Marta Hofacre, he had the opportunity to perform in masterclasses with such players as Christian Lindberg, Carsten Svanberg, Ian McDougall, Steve Turre, David Taylor, Slide Hampton, Steve Weist, and many others. In 1991, Billy was also a finalist for the position of Lead Trombone in the prestigious Air Force Airmen Of Note.
From 1992-1995, Billy studied Jazz Trombone at The University of North Florida, working with John Moak, Paul Weikle, Keith Oshiro, Scott Whitfield, and Marc Dickman, and played lead and solo trombone in the award-winning UNF Jazz Ensemble I. Another bevy of great artists came through UNF- Diane Schuur, Diane Reeves, Don Menza, Arturo Sandoval, Joe Henderson, Marvin Stamm, and others. While at UNF, Billy worked extensively at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios- Lead Trombone in the Disneyland All-American College Band in 1993, Trombone/leader of the Walt Disney World Summer Kids of the Kingdom Band in 1994, and Assistant Director of the Walt Disney World All-American College Jazz Band in 1995. In addition, from 1992-1994 Billy played in the Walt Disney World Very Merry Christmas Parade, and in the WDW Christmas Brass- an 18 piece group made up of the best collegiate brass in the state of Florida, playing 4-5 sets of energetic Christmas music in the Magic Kingdom through the holiday season.
After Graduating from UNF in 1995, Billy joined the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, led by the great trombonist Buddy Morrow, for a tour of the Eastern US. Billy then returned to Disney in 1996, performing nightly with a 10 piece high energy show band, Champagne, at the Atlantic Dance Hall in Disney's Boardwalk Resort. Champagne performed a variety of music, from 90s pop to big band swing favorites. That band then left Disney, went to New Orleans for a time, then to Denver, CO, where the band performed at the Supreme Court lounge for 10 weeks under the name Presumed Guilty.
After Denver, Billy worked for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines on 3 ships- The Splendour of the Seas, The Majesty of the Seas, and the Monarch of the Seas, in the Eastern and Western Caribbean. The weekly ship's entertainment schedule included variety shows, special guest artists such as Bowser from Sha Na Na, Clint Holmes, Herb Reed and the Platters, small jazz combo work, playing for the Captain's Dinner, and various small ensemble functions for special occasions.
From 1998 to 2002, Billy returned to New Orleans to play with John Wehner's Dream Band at The Famous Door... a high energy show band, the Dream Band featured the Dream Band Horns, and played 3-4 sets a night, 5 nights a week, nearly every week, playing the music of Earth Wind and Fire, Chicago, Tower Of Power, and many others. The band then moved to Destin, FL for another 2 years at the Sandestin Resort, at John Wehner's Village Door.
Billy now lives in Huntsville, AL, is the instructor of trombone and Jazz trombone at The University of Alabama in Huntsville, has a large studio of private students, does music clinics for local schools, and plays in the Huntsville Symphony, the Brass Band of Huntsville, The Redstone Brass Choir, the Tuscaloosa Horns (with such artists as The Temptations, The Four Tops, The O'Jays, Bobby Vinton, Wayne Newton, Natalie Cole and others), Rolling Jazz Revue, The Atlanta Jazz Orchestra, Mambo Gris Gris, The Rocket City Jazz Orchestra, The Moondust Big Band, Huntsville Community Chorus, The Neons, and others.

Mim and Liv of Nervo on Their Top 5 Beauty Essentials
The Look: In a season filled with low-slung ponytails, the high-and-mighty ones at Michael Kors provided a welcome alternative. Sleek at the crown and bouncy through the lengths, the look has a strong quality to it—made all the more graphic by hairstylist Orlando Pita's addition of black latex tape wrapped snugly around the tail's base.
Get the Look: The ponytail's position at Michael Kors was key. Pita recommended placing the base of it slightly below the crown so that it's more "'90s and minimal." For big-time bounce, first prep your hair with volumizing spray and blow out strands using a large round brush. Finish by blasting the hairline and crown with hairspray to minimize flyaways.

Again ailing, Morrissey reschedules S.F.
Updated 11:06 pm, Monday, March 11, 2013
Singer Morrissey was forced to postpone his concert at the Regency Ballroom on Saturday because he is suffering from double pneumonia, according to his publicist Allie Bostwick of Susan Blond, Inc.
The 53-year-old English singer and former leader of the Smiths is expected to make a full recovery, said an official statement posted on the fan site True to You, with plans to resume his tour with a headlining appearance at the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City on Thursday.
Morrissey, whose full name is Steven Patrick Morrissey, has suffered a series of health problems in recent months. In January, he had to cancel several dates on his current tour after he was hospitalized in Michigan with a bleeding ulcer and other ailments.
Questions about the state of his health prompted him to release a statement to his fans: "The reports of my death have been greatly understated. Once admitted to the William Beaumont Hospital at Royal Oak in Michigan, I received treatment for concussion, a bleeding ulcer, and Barrett's esophagus. The positive from all of this is that there are now no known ailments left for me to try."
In February, Morrissey pulled an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" for philosophical reasons: the outspoken animal-rights activist and vegetarian took offense at the other guests, the cast of the A&E hunting reality series "Duck Dynasty," whom he labeled as "animal serial killers."
Tickets purchased for Saturday's Regency Ballroom concert will be honored at the same venue on May 1. Morrissey is also scheduled to perform at the Warfield on April 30.

The City Council on Friday approved the transfer of nearly $8 million from the Department of Water and Power and Bureau of Sanitation to fund a children's museum in the San Fernando Valley.
In persuading his colleagues to vote for the plan, City Councilman Richard Alarcón called the funding a "critical piece" of financing for the center.
Without approval of the funds - $3.9 million from the DWP and $3.6 million from the Bureau of Sanitation - the city would miss a year-end deadline to obtain an additional $3 million in federal funds.
Additionally, city officials must open the long-stalled center by 2015, or pay back $16 million in grant money already allocated for the center.
"It would be pennywise and pound foolish not to do this," Alarcón said.
The funds will be used to build and design an exhibit focused on water conservation, recycling and solar power. The exhibit, which will take up one-third of the center's entire exhibit space, will last for 30 years.
Additionally, the DWP logo will be displayed on signs on the exhibit and on promotional materials at the center.
Critics have expressed skepticism about the funding plan, saying no independent cost analysis was done by the DWP on the exhibit cost. Nor are funds coming from monies earmarked for education.
The City Council's approval of the funds also comes as the DWP increases electricity rates, and plans to ask for a water rate hike next year.
Both City Councilmen Dennis Zine and Mitch Englander voted against the proposal amid concerns about the funding mechanism.
"I support the museum, but my the concern is that we're taking money from the DWP and Sanitation," Zine said. "What troubles me is that we increase rates and then give this money to the museum. It's not a loan, it's giving."
The new Children's Museum of Los Angeles was first proposed in 2000 as a $10 million public-private partnership. The city took ownership of the project in 2009 after the nonprofit museum filed for bankruptcy.
Earlier this year, city officials signed a deal with Orange County-based Discovery Science Center to operate the facility.
With the funding in place, Joe Adams, president of the Discovery Science Center, said Friday he hoped the center would open by the end of 2014.

Mines Today: Reunion Lunch with the President
Friday, April 27, 2012
It is my pleasure to welcome you all back to Golden. I hope that you are getting the chance to
reconnect with classmates and reminisce a bit about the good old days you spent together at
Mines. I'd especially like to recognize those of you who are here for your 50th reunion. As I'll bet
you have noticed, things are quite different now than when you graduated in 1962. Each
generation of Mines students is inspired by the legacy of those graduates who came before
them, and all that each of you has achieved over the past five decades has bolstered our
students' ambition and strengthened Mines' reputation for success.
Since you were students here, things certainly have changed. As I take you all back 50 years,
you'l be happy to know that we have left out a few of the more
details – just in order to
protect the innocent!
• In 1962, the population of the U.S. is 187 million, and the world population is less than ½
of what it is today, at 3.2 billion. The average income in this country is just over $5,500 a
year. A loaf of bread costs 20 cents; a dozen eggs sells for 54 cents, and a gallon of milk
will cost you 49 cents. And a first class stamp is 4 cents.
• If you are heading to the movies, a ticket will set you back about 50 cents, and the gas to
get you there wil run you 31 cents per gal on. At the drive-in, you might see
Birdman of Alcatraz
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Manchurian Candidate.
The first James
Bond film,
Dr. No
, is released this year as well.
• In 1962, the world loses Marilyn Monroe at age 36, and Eleanor Roosevelt passes away
at age 78.
• TV shows making their debut include
The Beverly Hillbillies
The Jetsons
The Lucy
And Johnny Carson begins his 30-year run as host of
The Tonight Show
this year.
• 1962 is a big year for music and dance, with Tony Bennett's
I Left My Heart in San
winning record of the year, and the first Beatles single –
Love Me Do
released. Other hits this year include
Hey, Baby
by Bruce Channel
, and Elvis's
Good Luck Charm
. The Four Seasons top charts with both
Big Girls Don't Cry.
The biggest dance craze of the year is Chubby Checker's
The Twist.
• In sports, the New York Yankees beat the San Francisco Giants 4 to 3 to win the World
Series. The Toronto Maple Leaves win the Stanley Cup by overcoming the Chicago Black
Hawks. Nearly 65,000 fans endure freezing temperatures at Yankee Stadium to watch
the Green Bay Packers take the NFL Championship title from the New York Giants, 16 to
• The first K-Mart store opens this year in Garden City, Michigan, and Sam Walton opens
his first Wal-Mart in Rogers, Arkansas. Polaroid introduces color film. Telstar relays
the first, live trans-Atlantic television signal. And Albert Sabin's
oral polio vaccine is licensed.
• John Glenn becomes the first American to orbit the Earth this year, during the
Friendship 7 mission.
• 1962 also marks the continuation of the Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. In
January, the U.S. begins Operation Chopper, our first combat mission against the
Vietcong. Later this year the U.S. blockades Cuba until Khrushchev agrees to dismantle
Soviet silos stationed there.
On campus, the year is also eventful:
• The Orediggers defeat the Colorado State College Bears, 13 to 6, to win the
Homecoming football game. And we beat Colorado College, 10 to 7, as well.
• The soccer team fares well in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League, and the
swimming team captures the RMAC Championship.
• In yet another victory this year, Mines wins the Rocky Mountain Faculty Athletic
Conference basketball championship – taking the win on the 50th anniversary of Mines'
previous basketball championship victory in 1912.
• And Mines' wrestling team achieves the highest level attained in the national NCAA
meet this year, finishing in a tie for 20th place among 62 competing schools.
In many ways, your experiences at Mines were quite different than today. In 1962, Mines
enrol ed about 1,200 students. This year, we enrol ed more than 5,300. 50 years ago, there
were just a handful of women on campus. Today, 26 percent of our students are women – and
Mines is the proud home of the largest chapter of the Society of Women Engineers in the
country! This year, we welcomed all female graduates of Mines back to campus during Alumni
Weekend – a great opportunity for us to honor their unique experience and accomplishments.
Back in 1962, in-state tuition at Mines was $235 per year, and out-of-state was $750. This year,
in-state tuition was upwards of $12,500 and out-of-state was more than $27,000. But 50 years
ago an average starting salary for an engineering graduate was just over $6,000. As entry-level
engineers, our 2012 graduates will earn an average of more than $63,000 as a starting salary,
and $106,000 at mid-career – the highest of any public university in the country. You may have
noticed that the value of a Mines education is receiving lots of national recognition. For the last
two years running, Payscale ranked Mines as the top U.S. public university for starting salaries.
Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine ranked us in its top 100 best values in public col eges this
year and Bloomberg Business Week again cal ed us "the biggest bargain" for education
investment of any university in the country. While the cost of a Mines education has gone up
significantly, there is broad recognition that the return on investment is stil outstanding!
Regardless of all that has changed, one commonality remains: Mines students are still among
the hardest-working you will find at any university. I can never resist the opportunity to "brag"
about them a bit, so here goes! Our athletics program has been enjoying remarkable success in
recent years. Just a few highlights…
• This winter, men's basketbal finished the season with a 29-3 record, winning the
RMAC regular season and conference titles, and advancing to the 3rd round of the
NCAA Division II tournament. The team received a number 1 national ranking for the
first time in school history.
• The men's cross country team has placed among the top 9 in the nation for 7 years
in a row.
• Women's softball claimed their 2nd consecutive RMAC regular-season championship
and earned the right to host the conference tournament that began just yesterday.
• Women's volleyball went to the NCAA tournament this season for the 3rd-straight
year and won the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament match with a 3-2 victory
over Nebraska-Kearney.
• Mines football has posted a winning record in 10 of the past 11 seasons.
• In 2011, men's soccer recorded its 8th straight winning season and played in the
RMAC Tournament for the 12th consecutive season.
• The women's soccer team has made 4 consecutive trips to the NCAA
Tournament in its 7 seasons as a program, and advanced to the Elite 8 in 2 of the
last 3 seasons.
• And our golf team is the number 1 team in the latest NCAA Central Region
Not too shabby for an engineering school! In addition to our athletics program, Mines students
also excel through their involvement in professional associations and student groups. Some
recent examples:
For the past four years, our students have organized a leadership conference, drawing more
than 250 student participants and some outstanding speakers – this past year, Erik
the only blind man in history to reach the summit of Mount Everest, spoke at
the event. As he talked, the video was running behind him, and as the audience watched him
scale the mountain and cross over ice crevasses, you could have heard a pin drop in that room –
he had everyone's attention.
The year before last we featured Bob Waterman, who was a graduate of the class of '58 in
geophysics, and co-author of the book
In Search of Excel ence
with Tom Peters, one of the
classic management leadership books. And tomorrow night we will be awarding a Mines Medal
to Don Thorson, who has so graciously helped us with the funding to support this leadership
conference. And if you ever have the opportunity to visit the Senior Design Trade Fair or
graduate student research fair, I can guarantee you would be amazed at the quality of research
being undertaken by both our undergraduate and graduate students.
Of course Mines students are also busy working! U.S. News and World Report ranked Mines
2nd among all national universities in the percentage of bachelor's degree recipients who have
worked as interns during the course of their education.
To continue to build on this positive momentum, we are pursuing an ambitious plan for Mines
developed around six core strategies:
• Enhance undergraduate education
• Grow our research programs
• Pursue key strategic enterprises
• Expand our academic infrastructure
• Become a true residential university
• Enable Mines' future financial security
As I'm sure you know, state funding for higher education has been on a continuous decline, and
we are working diligently to build our resources for the future. Enrol ment growth and growth
in our research program are important to this strategy. Our research portfolio has grown in
recent years to nearly $50 million annually, and we are home to 45 research centers and
institutes. Our faculty are regularly called upon for their expertise, particularly in current
research "hot spots" like rare earth metals, hydrates, unconventional natural gas, and
renewable energy materials.
A critical component in our ability to provide the science and engineering expertise that the
world needs will be an ambitious fundraising campaign. Garnering private resources enables us
to attract the best and brightest students from around the world and to bring star faculty and
researchers to Mines. Our campaign will focus on fostering innovation in curriculum and
research, building on our core strengths, enriching the Mines experience, and furthering our
global reach through partnerships, outreach and service.
As we ready ourselves for a comprehensive campaign, we are conducting some exciting capital
projects on campus to support our goals. You have likely noticed some of the recent additions
and improvements taking shape:
• Maple Hal , our first new residence hal built in 3 decades, opened this fal to
house 290 students.
• Our recently completed plaza out front of this building creates a wel -traveled
pedestrian- and bike-friendly thoroughfare at the heart of campus.
• A new wel ness center is taking shape just southwest of where we sit, thanks to a
generous gift from 1956 alumnus Steve Mooney and his wife, Gayle.
• The modern addition to Brown Hal provides state-of-the-art teaching and
research space – and serves as a fitting home for Mines' first college, the College
of Engineering and Computational Sciences.
• And when our new petroleum engineering facility, named for 1980 alumnus Tim
Marquez's family, opens its doors later this year, our entire community wil
benefit from cutting-edge new space.
Up next for the Mines campus are:
• a football stadium and sports complex to house our footbal , track and other
outdoor sports programs – and to replace our 1920s-era stadium (the oldest
collegiate stadium still in use in Colorado),
• and a cornerstone academic facility that will showcase Mines' expertise in core
strengths and interdisciplinary initiatives.
Today, perhaps more than ever, our way of life depends upon the work of skil ed scientists and
engineers. The Class of 2012 will be called upon to steward the world's resources, harness new
energy sources, safeguard the environment, and invent the technologies that help shape life
around the world.We are proud to count you as partners in our forward progress and happy
that you have remained involved with the university. You are an important part of Mines'
legacy of excel ence. As you have put your expertise to work to make the world a better place,
you have demonstrated the power of a Mines education for transforming lives. Thank you!

Viewmont knows this best: Getting there is no guarantee.
The Vikings have been to the Class 5A championship each of the last two years. Each time they came away empty-handed. So there's no illusions that a No. 1 seed somehow will bring them back.
They're going to have to earn it.
"This group of girls is no different in their expectations than in previous years," Viewmont coach Emalee Tate said. "They've done an awesome job stepping up."
Viewmont will be one of the players, but not necessarily the favorite in a flattened 5A field for the state soccer tournament. Don't expect domination out of any one or two programs, like Alta and the Vikings showed last year.
The Hawks look prepared to defend their championship as the only unbeaten 5A team remaining. Alta has a solid core of upperclassmen, such as goalkeeper Elyssa Hashimoto and midfielder Bizzy Phillips. The Hawks already have won two tangles with main rival Brighton, albeit by one-goal margins.
Davis is back in the mix after finding success with a younger core than the team had in previous years. Bingham surprised Region 4 competition by coming all the way back from a dismal 2011 campaign to a No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
Both Region 1 and Region 4 have their way of producing tournament Cinderellas. Lone Peak and Riverton both potentially are explosive, while Fremont and Northridge have a bit of a history of upending better seeds.
Then there's Viewmont, which retooled its lineup to emphasize defense, but still has three players with more than 10 goals.
Alta coach Lee Mitchell has won five titles in the last six years, but he's not ready to call the race over before it's begun.
"We just try to do the things we've done all year," he said. "A lot of teams have a good shot. Anything can happen."
Class 4A
Of the four defending champions, Timpanogos appears the most vulnerable. That's why a number of teams are eager to get into the scrum in 4A, and there's a lot of familiar names.
Skyline might be the most prominent, having not lost a game since its season opener. The Eagles, a state finalist last season, now have two deadly scoring options with Ashley Aberton and Jaslyn Masina paired with the same tight defense they played last year. But the state's best defense belongs to Bonneville. The Lakers, led by keeper Megan Fillpot, have allowed only six goals.
Bountiful is back from a slow preseason after sweeping through Region 6 for an outright title. The Timberwolves likely will go deep again, but another Region 8 team, Maple Mountain, could be even stronger.

New ARM Architectures for Servers: 64 bit, Virtualization, and Energy Efficiency
IEEE Computer Society of Silicon Valley with IEEE CEDA
Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 6:30 PM (PDT)
of Silicon Valley Presents:
Speaker: Lakshmi Mandyam, Director of Server Systems and Ecosystem, ARM
Featuring a Special Introduction by IEEE Computer Society President, David Alan Grier- President Grier will also be available to meet before and after the presentation.
Time: 6:30 PM (PT) Networking/Refreshments, 7:00 PM Presentation
Location: Cadence / Bldg 10, 2655 Seely Ave, San Jose, CA (map)
The recent growth of data-intensive mobile devices and rise of cloud companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon has driven a major shift in the types of workloads run in large cloud data centers. Now much of the emphasis is on many light computing tasks with lots of parallelism and frequent use of large amounts of data. Furthermore, the energy efficiency of each processor is rapidly growing more important. These trends have led to ARM chip adoption in the datacenter. Last year ARM announced 64-bit designs for servers, so in the next year when ARM licensees start producing the processors, big things should happen in the data center.
This presentation will detail the latest in ARM server design, share some of the initial comparison data between ARM and incumbent server platforms, discuss the shifting ecosystem supporting the changing market trends, and preview the changes coming to ARM v8.
Sponsored by: ARM Ltd
Speaker Bio:
Lakshmi Mandyam is the Director of Server Systems and Ecosystems at ARM where she leads ARM's initiatives on Servers. She has been at ARM for more than 4 years where she led ARM's market initiatives for Enterprise Networking and Wireless Infrastructure, Set-top-Boxes and Storage. Prior to ARM she worked in a variety of engineering, marketing and management roles at various companies including Freescale semiconductor and ColdWatt, building technology for enterprise applications. She has a BSEE from the University of Texas at Austin. At ARM she is delighted to be able to change peoples' perceptions about being able to deliver high performance enterprise solutions in a energy efficient mobile power profile.

Sounds like not only have the Bears not released their assistants but they aren't allowing them to interview for other jobs yet. If they end up keeping Marinelli that could be a best case scenario moving forward.
Also sounds like the Clements interview will be Thursday.
not really a fair move on Emery's part, unless he's dictating to the next HC they have to keep the defensive staff as is, and in that case we probably won't get the candidate we want since he is coming in right away and being told how he has to build his staff. If the new HC wants the defensive staff, that's one thing, but if he doesn't plan on keeping the staff, and these guys are forced to sit and wait until all the other positions in the NFL are filled and then fired it's really a crappy move.
Huh? How is he supposed to know who the head coach wants until he actually hires the guy?
That's life. Buck up.
I feel strongly however that this isn't just a charade. I nearly posted a couple days ago that I believed that keeping Marinelli would be huge given the current personnel and the continuity moving forward.
I also believe these assistants can quit if they wanted too, saving the Bears some money.
Lets be clear, Phil Emery is conducting his business professionally and at a level we've never seen in Chicago. What a breath of fresh air.
the guys on the radio were talking about it, its a crappy move b/c there is a very real possibility that the new HC walks in and fires the entire staff, and these guys are w/o jobs next year b/c all the positions in the NFL have been filled b/c they were forced to wait to get fired. JD said he didn't think Phil Emery would do that b/c of the backlash it would cause for him in the NFL, so my suspicion is that Emery is telling these candidates that the Defensive staff is not to be messed w/ this year, which means probably getting a lesser candidate.
If Rod and the rest thought that the NFL world was just passing them by, they could quit today and void the rest of their contract. These radio people apparently think that Halas Hall is some kind of dungeon and Emery just won't let them leave.
It's Tom Waddle, Jeff Dickerson, and Mark Silverman. Nobody thinks that, they said the impression they got was that Emery would let these guys interview for other jobs, b/c it would cause a backlash on Emery w/ other coaches. If what Pompeii is reporting is true, than the only logical explanation is that Emery is telling the candidates that the defensive staff is remaining in tact, which likely takes us out of the running for the top candidates b/c no coach is going to want to be told who he can hire/fire for his staff.
There is also the very real possibility that an OC looking to take a HC job for the first time would happily keep in place a defensive staff that he knows has been highly successful with the current roster, at least for 2013. I'm sure there would be no mandate to keep those coaches beyond this year, very similar to the Emery/Lovie arrangement.
Of course, you are entirely correct. Any SMART coach will happily takeover a successful defense. It relieves a first time coach of a huge headache and allows him to concentrate on our problem full time.
It is hilarious to watch people trot out all these ridiculous arguments trying to discredit Emery.
NOT one of the coaches we are considering will think twice if told Marianneli has to stay for a year. They won't even blink.
I don't even think it's a mandate. The Bears had a top 3 defense this year with little support from the offense. If I'm Emery I'm asking candidates why they would want to revamp the defense at all versus restocking it with depth.

Like he said he will listen if they are so inclined (or think they have a better DC in mind than Rod) but it will take a hell of a lot to convince him to move away from the 4 -3.
I also find it hilarious that people around here talk about coaches as though these guys have ANY permanence in their lives. Their lives are a kaleidoscope of moves, changes of jobs, locales. They do not hitch their wagons to a star and follow it everywhere.
Should Smith find a job some might consider following him but it is in no way an automatic thing even with those who like him most. They have to think of their families, the relative standard of living in the various locales, the degree of disaster the team going to is at, and other things.

Sony STR-DA2800ES review
A user-friendly home theater receiver
David Brown is a member of Crutchfield's Home A/V writing team. He studied writing and politics at Ithaca College in upstate New York, where he grew up. He spent 12 years in Washington, D.C., where he earned a Masters degree in journalism and wrote an award-winning humor column. David relocated to Charlottesville, VA, in 2012. He enjoys listening to music, playing the guitar and piano, and hiking with his wife and children.
More from David Brown
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Home theater receivers are loaded with features, inputs and settings, offering a sometimes overwhelming number of possibilities. Yet we ultimately want them to be easy to use, so they can get out of the way and let us enjoy movies and music.
The Sony STR-DA2800ES2 A/V receiver attempts to reconcile these competing interests. While equipped with plenty of processing firepower and unique features, the end-goal of this 7-channel receiver is to make enjoying your home theater as simple as possible. We were excited to hook it up in our Labs and go through the set-up process to see how easy it is to use.
In addition to the included remote, you can download Sony's ES remote app for Apple and Android devices.
Easy Setup
We connected the '2800ES2 to a Samsung HDTV, Polk's Blackstone TL250 5-channel surround speakers and PSW111 subwoofer, and the Oppo BDP-95 Blu-ray player. Once everything was hooked up, I powered the receiver on and was immediately greeted by Sony's graphical user interface (GUI), which walked me through the set-up process. Sony designed the GUI to be extremely user-friendly, and they succeeded. It's easy on the eyes and easy to use, boiling down a complex series of functions and settings to selections as simple as "Watch" and "Listen."
The remote control makes navigation quite simple, with the large blue HOME button taking you back to the main menu, centrally-located arrow keys for moving between selections and an adjacent RETURN/EXIT button for backing up one screen at a time. The GUI and remote work beautifully in tandem, and I rarely had to look down at the remote as I jumped between menu screens and made selections. Like most receivers, it takes some searching to find out where everything is located in the 2800ES2's GUI. But even right out of the box, I found it quite easy to navigate through all the various options.
After making an easy connection to our network, I wanted to calibrate our 5.1-channel speaker system. The '2800ES2 allows for manual set-up, but the best way to get nicely balanced surround sound is with automatic speaker calibration. Sony provides an optimizer microphone that lets the receiver take measurements and calibrate the speakers.
After this process is complete, you'll see a nice graphical display of your speakers in a virtual room, complete with distances from the listening position as well as any adjustments in volume the receiver made to compensate for asymmetrical speaker placement or seating positions that are off center.
Once your speakers are configured, it's time to set up the '2800ES2 to control all your home theater components, from TVs to Blu-ray players to cable and satellite boxes. An HDMI connection between the receiver and a component can allow for some control of multiple devices with one remote thanks to HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) support. But for more consistent and versatile control of other components, the '2800ES2 comes with 2 infrared blasters, which allow the receiver's remote to control every piece of equipment in your system. The receiver's GUI takes you step by step through the process, letting you enter brand names and model numbers so it can look up remote codes online. It can even learn commands if no codes are available.
For instance, it had no trouble finding codes for the Samsung BD-E6500 Blu-ray player, allowing the Sony remote to easily control the player. However, it couldn't find codes for our Oppo BDP-95. But by following the menu prompts, I successfully got the '2800ES2 to learn the Oppo's remote codes so its remote could control that player as well.
Made for one-button operation
Once you have your components set up, watching a movie or listening to music are as easy as turning on the receiver, accessing the Home screen and selecting Listen or Watch. The simple menu commands show you exactly what your source options are for that function. Another nice feature is that it only shows the sources you have connected and set up, letting you name them and even select an icon to display. So no one should ever have to ask that dreaded question, "Which input is the cable box?"
Sound simple? Sony made it even simpler with Easy Automation mode, their solution to dummy-proof the home theater experience. You can customize up to four settings — Movie, Music, Party, and Night – for one button convenience. For each function, you choose what components the '2800ES2 should power on and control with the remote. You can even customize the receiver's playback settings such as volume, sound field, speaker calibration, and more, including light dimming with compatible equipment.
For instance, you may want to set up Movie mode for all speakers in your surround system. But for listening to music, you may want just the front right and left speakers. Night mode is perfect for setting the volume lower so as not to wake sleeping family members with explosive sound effects. And Party mode can be set up to activate a second zone in the kitchen or dining room, while outputting the same stereo signal from all speakers. Once you've configured these scene modes, just one button makes it all happen. That is a lot of functionality to condense into one simple keystroke of the remote.
We had no problems getting our TV, Blu-ray player and receiver to all turn on and start playing Avatar with the easy automation function. All I pressed was BD (Blu-ray disc) on the remote, and everything instantly came to life. I did have to push the SELECT button to resume movie playback, but that was easily accomplished with the '2800ES2's remote thanks to our earlier programming. This opens up home theater use to every member of the family rather than reserving its operation for the most technically savvy.
Choose your sound field
Sound fields have long been a part of Sony's A/V receivers. These are preset digital sound processing settings designed to mimic certain listening environments, venues and preferences in your home theater. I recommend experimenting with the various sound fields, so you can see how your music and movie soundtracks sound with different fields applied. The remote lets you easily scroll between them as you listen so you can hear the differences.
The big addition to the '2800ES2's sound field list is HD-Digital Cinema Sound, which is designed to match your home theater's sound to that of a mastering studio where sound engineers create movie soundtracks to deliver powerful, dynamic sound in the theater. I didn't want to turn off Avatar, which filled the home listening room in our Labs with dynamic sound effects while dialogue remained bold and clear.
I tried out several sound fields with music and really liked the fullness that Concertgebouw Amsterdam, modeled after a famous Dutch concert hall, gave to Levon Helm's version of "Tennessee Jed" utilizing all the surround speakers and the sub. I also loved the option of having pure two-channel music played directly from my source or adding just the sub in case my front speakers didn't quite provide enough bass. The Auto Full Direct option added the sub on "Alice in Wonderland" by Bill Evans, making Scott LaFaro's melodic bass playing come to life with richness and depth.
The multitude of speaker calibration settings, sound fields and other audio options is a bit overwhelming and seemingly redundant at times. But having too many options is usually better than too few, and once you pick favorite settings for movies and music, it's easy to set up the '2800ES2 to default to those settings.
Lots of ways to listen
Once your system is up and running, there are plenty of options for enjoying music, movies, and more. I plugged my iPod touch® into the front panel USB port and used the Sony remote to bring up my library and play a few tunes. Then I unplugged the iPod and popped in a flash drive with high-resolution music files (see the aforementioned Bill Evans). I also streamed music from the networked hard drive in our Labs, thanks to the '2800ES2's Ethernet connection. Easy Automation doesn't work with these features, but they are nevertheless quick and easy to get to with the '2800's intuitive menu and remote.
The bottom line
Some of us love to spend time navigating menu systems and experimenting with settings in our A/V receivers. And the Sony STR-DA2800ES2 won't deprive you of those adventures. But for those members of your household who just want to know how to get the movie started, this is where the true value of this receiver lies. Once you jump through a few hoops during setup, the '2800ES2 can indeed simplify the user experience down to one-button control of a number of components, functions and settings. That makes it easy for the whole family to enjoy movies, music and shows, which is what home theater is all about in the first place.

Polycarbonate is one of those materials that can be found in just about anything, be it a golf cart, CD, or blender. And while the construction industry is one of the largest consumers of the polymer, it is rare to find a project that showcases it more thoroughly than the House in Tousuien in Hiroshima, Japan. Usually an accent panel, or the stuff of skylights, in this house for a couple and their three children on an infill lot, polycarbonate essentially is the house—forming the entirety of the exterior cladding for the three-story structure.
The architects at Suppose Design Office turned to the material because "we tried find the best materials within the budget, while keeping it fun and creative," says project architect Makoto Tanijiri, who founded the Hiroshima- and Tokyo-based firm in 2000. The material was cost effective, but also addressed other concerns that were important to the clients—in part, because "it softens natural light while providing a sense of privacy," Tanijiri says.
The translucent walls allow the minimalist interior—the steel structure is lined with warm wood floors—to be flooded with ambient light, all while screening the surrounding neighborhood from view, and shielding activities within the house from prying eyes.
Daylight even reaches what would normally be considered back-of-house spaces: A pocket garage and front door on the ground floor open to reveal an amply lit eight-motorcycle garage and maintenance room, and a stairway to the main living floors above. On each of the three levels, there is one fully enclosed room: a maintenance room in the garage, the bathroom on the second level, and a child's bedroom and bathroom on the third. Aside from that, the plan is left largely open to maximize the light that pours through the translucent walls.
For all its benefits, the novel wall assembly did not come without its challenges—in this case, the installation of operable windows (outfitted with more polycarbonate, rather than vision glass). "We had to make sure that the window frame was properly sealed to the polycarbonate exterior wall in order to prevent water from coming into the interior, and from leaking to the hollow centers of the polycarbonate boards," Tanijiri says.
So what did the neighbors think of a polycarbonate box coming into their quiet enclave of pitched roofs and pastel stucco? Tanijiri and his team gave the neighbors plenty of notice, so they were prepared to "see something different," he says. Upside? With a glowing, translucent house on their block, no one will lose their way home again.

Herald staff
ARLINGTON — A pickup driver hit a small sports car head on while going the wrong way on Highway 530 on Sunday evening, leaving the other driver with potentially life-threatening injuries, the Washington State Patrol said.
The patrol is treating the crash as a case of driving under the influence and vehicular assault, Trooper Mark Francis said.
Witnesses told troopers the driver who caused the crash had been headed west in the eastbound lanes, but did not appear to be speeding, Francis said. The Chevrolet pickup she was driving hit a Mazda Miata traveling in the highway's eastbound lane near 59th Street NE.
Both drivers are women in their 50s from Arlington, Francis said. The Mazda driver was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett with compound fractures and other serious injuries. The pickup driver was taken to Cascade Valley Hospital with several broken bones.
The crash blocked Highway 530 west of downtown Arlington, leading to lengthy detours.

There are many perspectives to market volatility that investors can research, monitor and learn about. Some of these forms of volatility include actual historical volatility, actual future volatility, historical implied volatility, current implied volatility and future implied volatility. This can be very confusing so let's look at the most commonly used in investing historic volatility for our discussion.
Volatility can be defined as the size and frequency of the fluctuation in the price of a particular stock, bond or commodity (source: Barron's Business Guide, Fourth Edition, Jack Friedman). As investors, it's important to have some understanding about volatility in the marketplace as well as how some investment classes have done in the past. Please keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future results. However, with research about a particular investment or asset class, it can help provide more understanding about the level of volatility within an investment.
When measuring volatility, investors may want to factor in a short-term or long-term analysis for their investment strategy. This is important and will vary per investor due to their investment time frame. For example, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index for the last 20 years has been able to earn just above nine percent return on average. Although, the five-year average for the S&P 500 stock-index is just below three percent. As we can see, the time frame of investing can impact one's portfolio. So it's important to consider the length of time for each investment — whether it's a retirement account, a college savings plan or non-retirement money slotted for short-term use.
Another way that investors may try to reduce volatility in their portfolios is to invest in different asset classes. This way the investments are not limited to one area or sector of the markets. Also, by having a combination of different investment strategies in different classes, it may limit some potential volatility. It is important to know that using diversification as a part of your investment strategy neither assures nor guarantees better performance and cannot protect against loss in declining markets.
Investors typically have assets for different purposes, like retirement, kid's education or personal saving. So having a strategy for each of them and factoring in the amount of volatility that is comfortable should be a consideration. In many cases, working with a financial profession can assist investors with this, and I also highly recommend reviewing the investments and strategies on a consistent basis.

Lol i like your statement,
but I dont think windows is so good...
Microsoft philosophy is promoting computer for domestical use (this is why they got so ritch) so they design things user frendly. Thus linux was design to be free (correct me if Im wrong) and open source. Then linux is being coded and recoded by user not compagny (Redhat is another story) this is why you have to compile your programs. Compiling is the final step for programming and since you didnt change the code i would not call this programming. Im a really recent user of linux and i think there solution is more reliable since the community is so big, they can fix bug mutch faster then microsoft.
i would love to see replys

Listen to TMZ Report on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – Jennifer Lawrence and the other celebrities who had their personal nude photos dumped online have not merely been "scrutinized" or "hacked"—they've been sexually violated for the whole world to see, writes Van Badham at the Guardian. As a sex crime, "it deserves the same social and legal punishment as meted out to stalkers and other sexual predators," she writes. "There are suggestions that prosecution may result not only for the hacker of the photos, but for those who view and share them. Good." Among other reactions:
- To blame the victims for not storing the images safely is like saying women must dress conservatively, move in groups, "or what-have-you to lessen the chance that someone will attempt to assault them," writes Scott Mendelson at Forbes. A side note: The victims lost "in a business sense as well, if only because sadly an actress's most important asset is her body and the titillation that it theoretically brings."
- It's ironic that people "vehemently protest a free Facebook Messenger app because we're outraged at reports that it can access our phone's numbers, and yet turn around and excuse the serving up of women's bodies for our own pleasure," writes Clementine Ford at Daily Life.
