NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Hedge fund managers finally got a break a meager return. The Morningstar composite of nearly 1,000 hedge funds rose 1.1% in July, bringing year-to-date returns to a modest 4.0%.
"Most hedge fund strategies notched gains in July following June's decline, but developed markets equity strategies were clear winners," says AJ D'Asaro, fund analyst at Morningstar. "The Morningstar MSCI Developed Markets Hedge Fund Index advanced 2.0% in July, extending its year-to-date increase to 6.4% as Europe and Japan showed signs of a turnaround and U. S. interest rates stabilized."
The North America hedge fund index led world regions for the second straight month with a 2.5% increase.
Domestic small-caps have been the top performing hedge fund sector for the past 12 months, seeing a 19.8% gain. And they continued that momentum as the small-cap hedge fund index rose 3.3% in July, marking a 12.0% return for the year so far. However, modified engines are not winning the race. The unhedged Russell 2000 Index surged 7.0% in July, up 24.0% for the year to date and lapping the field with a whopping 35.0% return for the trailing 12 months.
Black box investing is not outperforming plain vanilla equity plays overseas, either. While the unhedged MSCI Europe index soared 7.4% in July and has tallied a 9.7% gain for the year to date, European focused hedge funds are on a slow boat, climbing just 1.6% for the month while up 5.7% for the year to date.
But hedging emerging market stocks has helped mitigate losses for that soured sector. The Morningstar MSCI Emerging Markets Hedge Fund Index, inched up only 0.7% in July and posts a meager 2.7% return for the year to date still better than the straight-play MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which was up 1.0% in July but still faces a -8.6% loss for the year to date.
Debt-oriented hedge fund strategies began to edge up as the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield stabilized at 2.6%. The Morningstar MSCI Fixed Income Hedge Fund Index rose by 0.5% in July and has posted a 2.1% gain for the year to date. The Morningstar MSCI Fixed Income Arbitrage Hedge Fund Index increased 0.6% in July and 0.9% for the year to date. In contrast, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index advanced by 1.3% in July and fell 3.6% for the year to date.
Net new money is still hard for hedgers to find. Morningstar reports no hedge fund category received significant inflows during the month. In June, single-manager hedge funds in Morningstar's database saw net outflows of $851 million. But multistrategy hedge funds experienced the largest net outflows for the month with $1.4 billion finding the door. Systematic trading strategies, which have been a sucker play for two years, saw net outflows of $267 million in June.

More Cowbell!
Seems like this may have come up in the past, but how about a dead-simple, stripped-down mobile optimized version of RA?
I've found that when accessing the site from my mobile (iOS) device, the forums render nicely in a readable column, but the training log requires a lot of side-scrolling, and since there's a whole lot of possible inputs for a workout, it's a really busy page.
I'm envisioning a simple log page where you can enter date/time, length of run, running time. Maybe a few more items, but all in one column (so you only have to scroll up and down) in large, easy to read font (can't you tell I recently turned 40?).
And at the bottom of the page of the mobile site, have an option to switch back and forth to/from the desktop version.
When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, then you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Do you use the training log?
The process is the goal.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.
I would use a mobile version as well. In the summer I go up to pretty much the middle of nowhere, and the only internet access is via my cellphone. The side-scrolling to log my runs does get frustrating.
'No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch'
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher
"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis
Yes, please! I'd LOVE a small HTML version of RA. It would only the very simplest of tools, just enough to log an entry. Given how RA uses dynamic forms, a JS-less version would probably take entries in a multi-step format. If you do this, I'll gladly donate again.
For that matter an JSON-based api.runningahead.com would be like heaven dawned and deposited gifts of joy and love to all running-kind.
IMKY13 finish!!
fitness/weight goals for 2013…1) STAY INJURY FREE!!!2) Get to 195 lbs by Music City Olympic Triathlon (7-28-13)...and stay there (as of 5-29-13, was at 201.0 lbs)
3) Complete Ironman Louisville on my 50th birthday (8-25-13)....DONE!!!
4) 3,700 total overall miles for the year:
Swim: 100 miles (as of 12-12-13: 115 miles).....DONE!!!
Bike: 2,400 miles (as of 12-12-13: 2,650 miles).....DONE!!!
Run: 1,200 miles (as of 12-12-13: 1,172 miles)
Runners run.
mileage hound
I dunno, this site works pretty well via mobile already
2013 goals: Somehow get healthy again.

Have to agree with the original poster - a mobile version of the website would be great.

Comments about MISCELLANEOUS Blender Bottle:
I buy these bottles exclusively! They work great, don't leak, mix all kinds of powders from fine to thick, and are relatively tough. I have purchased/received many other blending-style bottles, but have had issues with leaking and chunky mixing. Not with the Blender Bottle. The only issue I've had is cracking mostly due to me dropping the bottles on the ground.

Comments about MISCELLANEOUS Blender Bottle:
I use this product daily, and have purchased other brands of blender bottles that just let me down. It has a very good seal unlike the others, so it doesn't leak at all! The metal ball on the inside allows equal distribution, blending whatever is added perfectly. No gritty lumps left in the bottle even after a couple shakes. All around excellent product, and I will deffinantly recommend this to my friends.

Team Collaboration
This team has gotten along very well. For example, there has been some problems regarding behavior involving different people. But other than that this group has done great. Everybody came through all of the behavior and finished the project and nothing bad happened and we did a pretty good job with all of the work.
In total everybody did what they were supposed to be doing. The project did not turn out as perfect as we wanted the project to be. But everybody did their job, turned in their reports and did the other small things we had to do. Everybody did very well. Christian did a good job on his reports. Daniel made a good job on his reports. Demetrius came through with his reports. Andrew did a very great job on them too.

The pugnacious style of Tony Abbott, the winner of Australia's election, has played well with the electorate. He may have run a gaffe-prone campaign against the bookish Kevin Rudd, the incumbent Labor prime minister, but his knockabout style, which harkens back to older, safer times, proved popular with an electorate exhausted by years of Labor infighting.
Having successfully deflected accusations of sexism -- dismissing a campaign gaffe in which he lauded a Liberal female candidate for her "sex appeal" as a "dad moment" -- Abbott has presented himself as an unreconstructed male who loves his sport and beer.
In Australia's current social climate, which some have attacked for being increasingly insular, self-absorbed and xenophobic, Abbott's bruising confrontational style has hit a rich seam.
Politics might be a tough profession, but in few places is it as bruising as in Australia where mudslinging and name-calling occur on an almost daily basis.
Some exchanges in Australian parliament are almost the stuff of folk legend.
Former Prime Minister Paul Keating (1991-96), when pressed to name an election date, told the leader of the opposition he wouldn't reveal the date because, "I want to do you slowly." More recently, the former Australian leader recently ousted Rudd, Julia Gillard gave the opposition a spirited lecture in sexism that went viral and even drew praise from U.S. President Barack Obama.
But not since leader of the Labor opposition Mark Latham broke a taxi driver's arm in a dispute over a cab fare in 2001 have Australians had the chance to elect a real brawler as premier.
Latham's bid for prime minister failed, but in Abbott, the leader of the Liberal-National Coalition, the country may have found a natural successor.
Combative in debate and with the media, Abbott may have shown little of his predecessors' verbal flair -- recent gaffes had him talking about the "suppository," rather than the repository, "of all wisdom" -- but he has displayed the kind of dogged aggression that Australians like to see in their sportsmen.
The boxer
A former Rhodes Scholar who won an Oxford Blue in boxing, he allegedly punched the wall either side of the head of a female political rival during his student days in the 1970s. Abbott claims the incident "never happened."
For one former alumni from his Jesuit secondary school St. Ignatius' College, Riverview, in Sydney, the episode would not have been out of character.
"All I remember is his rictus grin and the rolled-up sleeves of his short-sleeved shirt, giving his biceps something to rub up against," the former classmate, who now works in the Hong Kong banking industry, told CNN.
"What struck me was the raw emotion he could elicit just by being him. You could pour an enormous bucket on him, and he was not only impervious in terms of being hurt but would grin back at you and give it back -- with compound interest and probably a compound fracture," he added.
While Abbott is a polarizing figure to the electorate, the socially conservative politician is known to hold complex views in some areas of policy.
He has been known to defend areas of Medicare -- the country's national health system normally championed by the Labor Party -- and even opposed his own party on industrial relations reform, arguing that it was too harsh on workers.
Early beginnings
Born in England in 1957 to an Australian mother and an English-born father, he graduated in economics and law from Sydney University where he became involved in the rough and tumble world of student politics.
Avowedly right-wing at a time when the prevailing orthodoxy on campuses was deeply left-wing, Abbott, according to one of his biographers Michael Duffy, was beaten up at a student conference.
Briefly training as a Catholic priest before working variously as a concrete contractor and as a journalist for The Australian newspaper, he entered politics in 1994 when he was elected to represent the affluent Warringah district of Sydney.
Under former Prime Minister John Howard's government, he served as an employment minister between 1998 and 2001, and as minister for health and aging in 2003. In 2009, he narrowly beat then leader Malcolm Turnbull in a party leadership vote, winning 42 votes to Turnbull's 41.
He also polled well in Australia's 2010 general election, which was called following Gillard's ouster of Rudd as prime minister, denying the government a majority and delivering a hung parliament that Gillard's government could only hold together with the support of independents.
Labor Party infighting boosted Abbott's standing in the polls and -- under Gillard -- the Labor Party faced certain defeat at elections this year. While the installation of Rudd as prime minister for a second time has clawed back some of the ground Labor lost under Gillard, many analysts say his arrival has come too late to save the Australian Labor Party.
Catholic values, populist instincts
Abbott supports lower taxes, smaller government and tough border controls and backs the government's policy of processing asylum seekers -- many of them illegal boat arrivals -- offshore. He recently announced that almost 32,00 asylum seekers who already in Australia will never be granted permanent settlement.

I was born and raised in Sacramento, California. I was home schooled for high school and graduated at the age of 16. I spent my teens as a competitive skater. In college, I majored in theater arts with a minor in psychology. From there I delved into residential multi-family property management which allowed me the opportunity to move throughout California and the Pacific Northwest; eventually landing me in San Diego. I have been a public ambassador for the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America since 2006. As a single parent, my mother Shauna has been both an inspiration and a pivotal role model in my life. In my spare time, I enjoy ice skating, painting, researching odd subjects, radical changes to my lifestyle and appearance, having a few cocktails, and overanalyzing people in my head as though I have two hamsters in my brain farting out question marks.

I am 25 years old and will graduate with my masters degree this coming May. After being in school for 18 years, I am looking forward to starting a career in healthcare in the St. Louis area. Through my years in school, I have been active with volunteering, student government, sorority, and other professional organizations. I am very blessed to have had a great upbringing where family dinners were important and the value of always doing a good job was taught. Because I was adopted, I hope to help people understand that the relationships you have with people are more important than being biologically related. In my free time I love to run, play the piano, cook, play golf, and go downtown with my friends. Continual self-improvement is important to me and on my agenda is the next St. Louis Marathon.

My family means everything to me, and my siblings are two of my best friends. My family owns an animal hospital, so our house was full of animals. Growing up in Alaska meant there were always places for us to explore as close as our own back yard, from building snow forts to hiking and camping. Aside from adventuring, my hobbies include knitting, graphic design, attending concerts and writing. In fact, I have an uncanny ability to compose perfect iambic pentameter. I also work with a charity tutoring homeless and underprivileged children. I'm looking for an energetic, creative guy who's constantly looking for excitement, but if a guy can make me laugh, there isn't much else I need."

If athlete-turned-beauty queen strikes you as a contradiction in terms, then you haven't met me, a feisty, accomplished competitor with titles of Miss Teen United States 2004, Miss Georgia Teenager 2003 and one of the "50 Most Beautiful Atlantans", as voted by JEZEBEL Magazine, in 2007. An Atlanta native, I graduated from Brenau University, summa cum laude, in May of 2007 with a degree in Broadcasting/Journalism and am an aspiring entertainment news reporter. I know without a doubt that I would not be the woman I am today if it was not for my loving and supportive close-knit family. Aside from being Will Ferrell's number one fan, I am a hopeless romantic who believes in fate and destiny. In fact, my favorite movies include Serendipity and P.S I love you."
As cliche as it might sound, I firmly believe that beauty comes from within. In fact, beauty pageants really helped to push me beyond a level that was comfortable, and, by proxy, instilled me with an admirable reserve or confidence-a quality that I credit with true beauty. The nicest thing you can do for someone else is just to be a compassionate, giving and considerate person. I take pride in volunteering for cause-worthy organizations and firmly believe that compassion is the key to understanding.

Hi! As a pediatric nurse, I love working with children but also value their health and well-being which is why I love my profession. It is a privilege to take part in these children's lives when they are most vulnerable. Sometimes just being that extra shoulder to lean on for a family member or friend is the most rewarding part of my day. Next year, I plan on finishing up my master's in nursing and then volunteer for Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides reconstructive surgery to indigent children throughout the world with facial deformities. I moved to the US from Poland at the age of 4. I have incredible parents who not only taught me the importance of working my hardest to achieve my goals, but also to never forget our family values and history. To this day we share family dinners at least once a week just to catch up with one another. Our holidays include fun Polish traditions, delicious food, and customs I can't wait to pass down. I am fluent in Polish as well. Thanks to my parents, these little differences make me unique and different, but they are also something I can share with others! I love cooking, watching movies, traveling, going to the beach, running, working out, going to New York Giants and Boston Red Sox games. I enjoy going out for dinner and wine with friends, but dont mind spending a relaxing night at home either. I'm spontaneous and always up for trying new things, but also recognize and enjoy the adventures of everyday life!

Hey NBC viewers! You know my name, but who am I? I am loved, I am determined, and I am blessed. For the most part, I take life on as it comes and do my best to maintain a positive attitude while doing so. Im energetic and passionate about my friends and family and everything I wish to achieve while on this earth. Helping people is infinite in the equation of my completion of life, along with working with youth, loving my family, and motivating. I asked a few close friends to describe me in three words for the purpose of a bio. The three most common words included diligent, spontaneous, and ambitious. The three that stood out the most for me were unique, grounded, and a natural leader. If those that I care most about describe me in such ways, I have no doubt in my mind that I am doing an excellent job of simply being Lynette McKinney. I want to leave you with this: Beware of the snake in man's flesh for he is completely opposite of the LOVE of GOD! He comes to run havoc and ultimately bamboozle you! (Don't get stuck in his trap.) Hope you enjoyed me!

My life defies category and description, as my unique personality and accomplishments break every stereotype I am a model, who also holds a master's degree, and just happens to work as a law enforcement officer. I am a Los Angeles native with a real zest for living. I spent my formative years as a tomboy. I played on my high school's basketball team and excelled at track and field. But it was my love for the arts that were also burgeoning, which lead me to pursue ballet and to learn classical clarinet. However, it was my time at Grambling State University in Louisiana that truly transformed my life. As my passion for justice developed, my desire to find a deeper understanding of law and our criminal justice system spurred me on to complete my bachelor's degree in criminal justice. My love of learning motivated me to further my education. I went on to receive my master's degree in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. I enjoy doing charitable work through my sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, and spending time with my loving and supportive family as well as golfing, traveling, working with young people, reading motivational books and caring for my Yorkshire terrier, Mr. Wilson.

Howdy! Spawned and reared in Spokane, WA, my younger brother and I enjoyed all the perks and privileges of a single-mom, middle class household. Our little family unit has endured its share of trials and tribulations, but they've only served to strengthen the bond of our happy little trio. I confess, I'm a total "momma's girl," and I consider myself fortunate to have a best friend in my mom, Nancy! My formative years were spent as something of a social pariah, due to being a terribly shy bookworm. Discovering dance sparked a change within me, however, and opened me up to the thrill of entertaining others. Despite my love of performing and ballet, I elected to take a more pragmatic approach to my future and went on to attend Washington State University, where I studied criminal justice and political science. A nerd since birth, I've come to terms with this and now fully embrace all my less-than-cool pursuit and attributes. I love writing, getting lost in a good book, stimulating games of Scrabble, savoring a cup of coffee, rollerblading to ABBA tunes, traveling, viewing copious amounts of television, and cleaning! As a proud pet parent of four cats, I'm a bit of a crazy cat lady in-the-making! My love of animals isn't just limited to felines, as I love all critters great and small. I've never had the love of a good fellow in my life, but I wouldn't mind changing that! I firmly believe that humor is the sexiest quality a man can possess. I'm sarcastic, neurotic, hardworking, and loyal and hope to find someone with similar qualities who will overlook all my idiosyncrasies! Oh, and they MUST love animals!

Hello everyone! Im a Texan native, who as a child was known as the bubbly girl with long, blonde hair and sparkly eyes. During high school and college I was active in sports and fitness. I turned out to be a huge success on the volleyball court, earning a full athletic scholarship. I attended the University of Houston to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Throughout my college years, I was able to utilize my stellar personality to sell homes throughout the Houston area. Additionally, I used my talents and acquired an internship at Houston's #1 Top 40 morning show. Producers thought highly of my talents and had me record various radio commercials. That led to me as a featured on-air personality. I am the spokesmodel for the Walter Umphrey Cancer Center in Beaumont, Texas and an online realty company. I also have several television commercials in my repertoire. I will be featured in the 2009 Health & Fitness Calendar as well as the 2009 Premiere Swimsuit Calendar. Recently, I filmed my first independent film, "Doublespeak." My dream is to become an entertainment news reporter. I am ready to take on any successful opportunity that comes my way. My ease with the camera, keen broadcasting skills, charm, and outgoing personality (as well as my striking looks), will tantalize any audience!

I was born and raised in Macon, Georgia, which is in the very center of the state. It is a short drive to either the beach or the mountains, so I always felt it was a wonderful place to grow up. My family, friends, and school environment have all played a vital role in shaping me into the individual that I am today. My family encouraged me to persevere and have a positive outlook on life. I was a cheerleader for my entire high school career. At Georgia Southern University, I became a member of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority and have met some of the most awesome friends one could ever wish for. I love to have a good time and am usually up for anything. I have the most AMAZING life and feel very blessed. I thank God every day for all of the wonderful opportunities that have come my way and for all of the people He has placed in my life. I guess you could say Im your typical Southern girl Im polite, talk with a pretty strong accent, love the outdoors, am family-oriented, and have strong morals and beliefs. I love to laugh, have fun, and spend time with friends and family. I am very down to earth and will get along with anyone. My friends tell me that my weakness is actually being too nice at times. My son Charlie, a 10 month-old shiatsu, is spoiled rotten - just like me! He has to have ice in his water, and his food is always warm!

I was born and raised in the small city of Youngstown, Ohio. I am the true definition of a go-getter. Im a 5'0 petite girl on the outside, but make it a habit to approach the world as if I am six feet tall! When I set out to do something, I allow nothing and no one to stand in my way. I am the daughter of two police officers. I have two sisters and three brothers. I pride myself on my intellect, the need to learn, and my confidence to always be myself no matter who is watching. I am very happy with who I am and have no reason to change. Others don't have to agree with me, but they WILL respect me! I love my family, green tea, French fries, the color red, and spicy foods. :) Although I do consider myself a classy, educated, sassy, and sexy Pisces to never be crossed; Im really a goofy, humble kid at heart-with a genuine love for people and a weakness for laughter. I live by the quote "I would rather be hated for who I am, then loved for who I am not."

I am the youngest of four in my family and hail from Houston, Texas. I currently work in the exciting world of marketing spirits and am an avid wine/spirits connoisseur. I consider myself intelligent, witty, charming, and dangerously flirtatious! Most friends and family know me to be very forward, aggressive, assertive, blunt, bold, and quite spicy! I enjoy the ballet, opera, symphony, and have an affinity for the theatre. In my spare time, I relish in the opportunity of partaking in a great debate and also like to play miniature golf, when I'm not catching a new movie with fellow movie buffs. My ideal man is one that doesn't exist! In all seriousness, I like a man who possesses good morals, standards and values, is warm, caring, considerate, highly intelligent, witty beyond belief and who has his own passions in life. It would also help if he was relatively easy on the eyes! I know my unicorn is out there somewhere, perhaps anticipating my arrival, eagerly waiting for me next to a rainbow and a pot of gold?!

I graduated from Texas Christian University cum laude. My goals are to some day become a television host, as I refuse to let anything or anyone hold me back. All right, I am going to break this down for you... I'm a badass. It is true. I am extremely witty, and Im always cracking jokes, so if you cannot keep up take it somewhere else. I am normally out enjoying life with my friends and avoiding fake people in this world. I don't like people who pretend to be something they are not...and only time will show that. Im a bartender, so that means if I have a night off most of the time I'm at a bar seeing my friends. I get told quite often I have the appearance of a bitch, but when people meet me, the majority will say Im the biggest sweetheart ever. I am religious and believe God will have my back. There has not been a situation that I haven't triumphed over yet. The game is not over yet, because I didn't hear the fat lady singing anyway! I am a leader and definitely not a follower, so if I made up my mind about something then trust me you can't change it. I am a huge huge huge chocoholic and can almost always eat a pizza. I am actually more like a guy than a girl when it comes to my personality. I played sports for years and follow it, so get ready guys!!!! Now, I am learning that you have to earn the right to be in my life... it's not just handed over to anyone anymore because I know quality is hard to find. I live by the motto: dude life's one big-ass party and I generally like to be the one leading the fun!!!

Anyone know of any companies that either offer this now or offered it at some point in their history?
I think Salesforce.com had a free product at various points in its history, but would like to learn about other examples.

Of all the Carolina Skiff series, the JVX is considered the king of versatility. Not only does the JVX come in three different sizes (16-, 18, and 20-foot models) but it's also available in four different control points (center console, side console, stick steering and tiller steering), providing 12 different models to choose from. Creating even more versatility is the fact that each JVX model is built on our modified-V hull, which is 100 percent composite and wood free. Capable of running over flats to fish shallow, the JVX also has the guts to run across choppy bays and on the outside beaches when called upon. And though the JVX comes standard with a pre-wired trolling motor plug, full instrumentation and livewell, you can continue to add more versatility with options like a Bimini top or T-top. |

Nachum presented a great discussion with Rabbi Moshe Bamberger about his fascinating new book, Great Jewish Letters. In this unique collection, Rabbi Moshe Bamberger, a respected scholar and educator, shares with us 120 great Jewish letters, translated into flowing English from their original Hebrew. Spanning the centuries from the Gaonic period to today, these letters contain fascinating historical insights and profound ethical truths. Some of the letters are classics, others not well-known, but all share a sense of both intimacy and eternity, a message from a father to a son, from a teacher to a student, from a leader to his people. Nachum opened the phone lines for listener questions and had a great time with Rabbi Moshe Bamberger on The Nachum Segal Show's Thursday Night Extravaganza.

first sweater
Last November when I was learning how to knit, I made a goal to knit at least one real sweater before the year was up.
So I started knitting this little cotton cardigan for Lotus last month and here it is, all sweater-like. In one piece. With buttons and everything. (You can find the free pattern here or here.)
I bribed my little model with Krispy Kreme before the photo shoot.
And despite the sad look on this face, I promise that she really liked the sweater. And the modeling.
I just wish I had made it one size larger – sadly, I didn't double check the measurements very carefully and it probably won't fit for much longer. But I really don't mind. This was my practice sweater and I've already picked out a new pattern to knit the next one. I can't help it - I'm totally hooked on this hobby.

And on the eighth day, farmers were recognized for their passion!
You probably saw it last Sunday night during the big game. And if you didn't see it during the big game, you saw it on Facebook, Twitter or even this week on one of the morning television shows. You may even have heard about it from a friend or a coworker.
Heck, hundreds of millions of people have seen it and are talking about it. And because of it, mentions of "farmer" on Facebook increased 1.8 million percent when the commercial aired.
I'm talking about the Dodge Ram commercial — "So God Made A Farmer."

Zoo scientist John Seidensticker is working with Sri Lankan conservationbiologists to study the distribution and ecology of the fishing cat(Prionailurus viverrinus) and the rusty spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus), another little-known small cat, in suburban habitats of Sri Lanka. This will represent the first detailed study of these species and the results will aid their conservation.
It will also raise awareness of the conservation needs of these charismatic cats, which already have semi-flagship status in Sri Lanka. The results will be used to develop a conservation strategy for the cats and other medium-sized carnivores to be integrated into urban development plans.
The primary methodology of the study, outlined in the Research Proposal, is camera-trapping, which allows the scientists to capture images of these elusive nocturnal animals to determine their distribution and abundance.
Fishing cats are one of two cat species on the Zoo's new Asia Trail. This research is thus an integral part of the Asian Trail program.

November 20, 2012
This is a beautiful necklace. I bought it on a whim to get to the $50 mark on my virtual dollars, and I don't regret it. The chains are alternating rose goldtone and yellow goldtone. The stations are perfectly placed. The whole necklace just sits very well (and I'm quite busty). I've gotten a lot of compliments on it, and it's only been a couple hours. I also got the rose gold pave pyramid earrings to complement. It's a nice set to dress up a casual work outfit, but can also work well with my dressier work options.

The U.S. economy expanded at a modest to moderate pace across most of the country amid rising consumer demand for homes and autos, the Federal Reserve said.
"The majority of districts reported modest improvements in labor market conditions, although hiring plans were limited in several districts," the central bank said in its Beige Book business survey, which is based on reports from the Fed's 12 regional banks. "Residential real estate markets strengthened in nearly all districts and home prices rose amid falling inventories across much of the country."
The anecdotal snapshot of the economy helps the Federal Open Market Committee evaluate whether the labor market shows signs of the substantial improvement it says would warrant shrinking or halting $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. The committee is scheduled to meet March 19-20.
Companies added 198,000 workers last month, more than projected and an indication the job market will keep expanding, according to figures released today by the Roseland, New Jersey- based ADP Research Institute. The jobless rate, while falling from a 26-year high of 10% in 2009, has stayed at 7.8% to 7.9% since September.
"We're tracking growth right now that looks positive but not very exciting," said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co. and a former researcher for the Fed Board in Washington. "House prices continue to go up. So far that seems to be holding up pretty well and doesn't show any signs of faltering in the new year."
Modest, Moderate
The U.S. economy "generally expanded at a modest to moderate pace since the previous Beige Book," the Fed said in a description that was similar to the prior report. Five districts reported economic growth was "moderate" and five as "at a modest pace," with the Boston district expanding "slowly" and Chicago activity "at a slow pace," the Fed report said.
Manufacturing tied to home construction "was a source of strength for many Districts," the report said. It cited wood product manufacturing in St. Louis and San Francisco, household goods production in the Chicago region and cement makers in Dallas.
Housing has gained as Fed easing pushed mortgage rates to record lows. Home prices rose 6.8 percent in December from a year earlier, according to the Case-Shiller 20 City index, the fastest increase since 2006. The gauge rose every month last year. New home sales accelerated in January to a 437,000 annual pace, the highest since 2008.
Housing Rebound
Sales growth at Home Depot Inc., the largest U.S. home- improvement retailer, will be buoyed by about 2% economic growth and a "warming-up housing market," this year, Senior Vice President Kevin Hofmann said at an investor conference March 4. "The housing market -- while it's recovering -- we don't expect a full recovery in 2013," he said.
The Fed said inflationary pressures were "modest" and "most district contacts did not plan to increase prices."
"The majority of districts reported modest improvements in labor market conditions, although hiring plans were limited in several districts," the report said. "Wage pressures were mostly limited, but some contacts reported upward pressure for skilled positions in certain industries due to worker shortages."
The anecdotal accounts were collected on or before Feb. 22 and compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
Stimulus Debate
Minutes from the Jan. 29-30 FOMC meeting show officials were divided over the bond buying. Several participants at the gathering "emphasized that the committee should be prepared to vary the pace of asset purchases, either in response to changes in the economic outlook or as its evaluation of the efficacy and costs of such purchases evolved," the minutes showed.
Chairman Ben S. Bernanke defended the Fed's bond purchases in congressional testimony last week, saying the benefits of reducing borrowing costs and fueling growth outweigh any potential costs.
The Fed chairman said in a speech last week that "premature removal of accommodation" may weaken the three-year recovery. Vice Chairman Janet Yellen, the Fed's No. 2 official, said in a speech in Washington this week that ending the bond- buying too soon could damp growth. Policy makers are tracking possible costs and risks from the record accommodation, she said.
Fed purchases of mortgage bonds and Treasuries helped push the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a record yesterday, erasing losses from the financial crisis after a four-year rally that was also fueled by the fastest corporate profit growth since the 1990s. The Dow rose 0.3 percent to 14,292.40 at 1:53 p.m. in New York.
The FOMC cut its target interest rate to a range of zero to 0.25% in December 2008 and has said it will keep the rate in that band as long as unemployment remains above 6.5% and inflation is projected to be no more than 2.5%. The committee at its January meeting said it will continue asset purchases until the labor market improves "substantially."
During the fourth quarter, the economy grew just 0.1% amid the biggest drop in defense spending since the closing years of the Vietnam War.

Our selection even includes trendy jeans for under $25, so you get knock-out styles at a winning price. Just in time for cozy warm-weather wear, these cheap skinny jeans will pair perfectly with your oversized sweaters and blazers for fall and winter.
When it comes to GoJane�s selection of cheap women�s jeans, let�s just say this isn�t your grandma�s denim. Well, actually you could make an argument for the opposite, because high-waisted denim jeans are making a serious comeback, leaving you with an 80s-inspired aesthetic that harkens back to simpler times. Still, we�re taking cues from punks and rock stars, leaving you with hardcore looks that will still complement your body type. Our cheap high-waisted skinny jeans come in every color under the sun and feature eye-catching patterns like harlequin, Aztec print and stripes. We also account for an impressive selection of destroyed jeans for women, a fashion trend that�s not likely to leave town anytime soon. These distressed denim looks come in tons of colors and cuts, destroyed and faded to perfection. It doesn�t matter where you fall on the denim spectrum, whether you�re a contemporary colored jeans fan or a sucker for a thrifty throwback, GoJane has got everything you need to get top-to-bottom style this season.
