Today's guest post comes from Cory Copeland of Mad to Love. He shares with us here an excerpt from his debut novel, These Were the Nights. Enjoy! –Tamára
Of all the questionable concoctions Gideon had introduced to his body, crystal meth was something he had rebuffed until now. He had deemed it too lethal for his own habits, preferring to partake in the milder medicines, those that were less habit forming. But its clamoring for his attention finally became too great to resist, and he was now anxious to feel the black magic of the powdered glass. Thoughts and suggestions of a deceased grandmother would have to wait until a cleaner, more appropriate time.
He shook the fog from his eyes to see that his small, round portion was prepared and quietly waiting for him. He mumbled thanks to whomever had prepared it. He was a little hazy from the celebrations of the long night, but wanted to continue in the good times that were waiting. As he swallowed his nervousness and smiled, Gideon bent low over a crummy coffee table and found himself staring into the little mirror adorned by the powdery substance. He looked deep into his own green eyes for a few fleeting seconds. Dismissing the accompanying feeling of disappointment in self, he pushed his hair from his eyes and inhaled with righteous power. This was his night of unbridled fervor.
As soft white fury rushed through his nasal cavity and in to his lungs, Gideon felt a sharp tickle in his nostrils. He had to fight to keep from choking. A shrieking, frigid feeling began to creep over him as he slowly stood from the couch of broken dreams. He looked around the crowded room of rebel naysayers. His throat felt hoarse from the wear and tear of a dirty night, but he couldn't have cared less. His eyes widened with the fever of a madman and Gideon let out a primal scream, startling all those around him. He was here to celebrate until his heart's content; the rest of the house's crowded company would have to adjust to his reckless thirst accordingly.
His head started to swim slightly and Gideon felt pure chaotic energy flood every part of his body. His heart began to beat against his rib cage in a barbaric attempt to free itself. This only energized Gideon the more. He had never felt so alive. He no longer wanted to sit around wasting such a raw and holy night. It was time to return to those unconquered streets.
"Get up, we're leaving" Gideon growled to those around him, and no one argued with the dirty blond angel.
It was all a beautiful blue blur as they jumped over bodies strewn about the floor and raced for the front of the decrepit house. The fever that filled his brain warmed him to his bones, all of the evening's substances providing a contradicting combination of soft comfort and exhilarating strength.
Crashing through the front door and spilling in to the uncut yard with loud laughter, someone pushed a set of keys in to Gideon's palm and mentioned that he was the responsible one of the crew. He laughed knowingly and opened the doors to a car he knew but didn't recognize in his celebratory haze. The engine was soon roaring splendidly and Gideon looked in to the rearview mirror to see his own dull green eyes staring back at him, begging him to just walk away.
"Shut up," he said to no one in particular, slapping the hungry, hurting eyes from his view.
Gideon gripped the wheel tightly in his heated hands, punched the heavy accelerator, and spun the car onto the blacktopped street, fishtailing as they flew.
With the radio putting forth an unrelenting beat in volumes that shook the blackened night, Gideon sped the car full of helpless souls toward every heartbreaking consequence he had never imagined.

11.03.2010 X|Media|Lab Perth Development Award to unleash WA creativity
Western Australian digital media projects selected for X|Media|Lab Perth will be in the running to receive one of three X|Media|Lab Perth Development Awards.
The X|Media|Lab Perth Development Award has been created by ScreenWest and the Department of Culture and the Arts to assist local digital producers to complete project documentation and marketing materials so they can attract market partnerships and realise their projects.
Department of Culture and the Arts Deputy Director General Jacqui Allen launched the initiative at the Creative Industries Think Tank v.2.0 forum today.
"WA projects selected for X|Media|Lab Perth will be judged by the Lab's international mentors and up to three projects will receive an Award to consist of a maximum of $20,000 funding per project," Ms Allen said.
"To be eligible for the Award, the project team must include at least one Western Australian arts practitioner or the team must collaborate with a Western Australian arts organisation."
ScreenWest Chief Executive Ian Booth said the inaugural X|Media|Lab Perth will consist of a Pro Day Conference (General Admission) featuring a selection of the world's outstanding creative practitioners and a two-day Lab where selected projects work directly with the international delegates who will act as Lab mentors.
"X|Media|Lab Perth and the subsequent X|Media|Lab Perth Development Award will deliver key outcomes for the State by connecting Western Australian artists, media practitioners and public institutions with international experts to propel our creative digital content from concept to market," Mr Booth said.
"We will soon be announcing the mentors selected for X|Media|Lab Perth and calling for WA creatives to submit their projects to the Lab. Projects need to have a strong narrative theme in a non-linear format that meets the X|Media|Lab Perth theme of 'Storytelling in a Digital Age'."
X|Media|Lab Perth will be held in Perth, 15-17 April 2011 at the new State Theatre Centre of Western Australia. X|Media|Lab Perth is possible thanks to the support of the Department of Culture and the Arts, WA Museum, ScreenWest, Murdoch University, ABC TV and Screen Australia. The X|Media|Lab Perth Development Award will be presented at X|Media|Lab Perth on Sunday 17 April 2011.

Willows caravan park is set in a tranquil area of Huntingdon next to the river great ouse and has everything you need at hand. You will be greated on arrival by Brian and Maureene, our resident wardens, who will do their best to accomodate your individual needs.
Our site is ideally located for a range of activity based holidays and is popular with Walkers, Cyclists, Fishermen ,couples and Families with small children.
We have a designated childrens play area and a seperate field reserved for ball games.
Brampton Mill which has been converted into a Restaurant & Bar, owned by the Beefeater chain is just 2mins walk and sits on the banks of the River Great Ouse.
We stayed at Willows for three nights in October 08, admitedly there had been some rain and the site is near the river, but we found the ground to be badly drained and sodden, many pitches were unusable. The toilets were tired but clean. The play area was nice and we were able to park near it but unfortunatley the wardens saw fit to cover it up after one day (we were there for half term so thought it was mean they couldn't wait a few days). The children were told off for riding their bikes on the grass. Many of the caravans appeared to be workmen with vans on long term stays which meant plenty of comings and goings early in the morning.
Now, it isn't all bad. It's greatly situated. Hinchingbrooke park is just over the road, fantastic for walkers, dogs, children. There are also two good riverside walks, one direction takes you to Brampton village and the other to Godmanchester. Both beautiful, quiet walks. You are also walking distance to Huntingdon train station and town centre. The Mill 200yds away is a great place for a coffee during the day and a good meal at night.
To be honest, we wouldn't stay there again. It's in a great location but we weren't impressed with the site itself. We like to go to local sites to our business so we can be on call and frequent Ferry Meadows in Peterborough which is everything Willows is not.
The Willows Caravan Park, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire
Superb waterside setting. Pitches are level, spacious and perfectly maintained. Toilet and shower blocks were immaculately clean, if a little tired. The management are probably amongst the most helpful and charming I have had the good fortune to come across in 10 years of motorhoming/caravanning. Watch out for the wonderful old cat they have - he's huge and a real character. Good walks in this area. Very picturesquemill restaurant nearby. Excellent fish and chip van visited on the FRiday evening we were there.
The cleanliness of the site, the owners were exceptional in everything they offer and do for you whilst you're there. It is an outstanding site.

'Meet You at the QB' Is Rams' Defensive Theme
With the pesky Arizona Cardinals refusing to go quietly into the night, Rams defensive line coach Mike Waufle had a message for Robert Quinn late in the fourth quarter.
"Before we went out there Coach Waufle said the great players step up," Quinn said. "He started comparing me to DeMarcus Ware, Osi (Umenyiora), whatever."

Dec. 26 will be a sad day for James Derheim.
Derheim, who has co-owned European Focus Village with his wife, Jenean, since 2003, will be closing the downtown shop's doors the day after Christmas.
Derheim said a combination of factors — including a recession and a parking-meter battle downtown — has hurt business over the past year-and-a-half.
"After nine years, the numbers are undeniable," Derheim said. "It does not make sense for us to be in brick-and-mortar retail."
The Derheims opened European Focus Village in 2003, in Burns Square. In 2009, they moved it to a larger space on State Street. A year later, they moved the store to a more visible storefront on Main Street.
Derheim, who led the fight to convince the city to remove parking meters downtown, attributed at least half of his woes at the Main Street location to the parking-meter debacle that confused and angered customers.
Despite the closing of their store, the Derheim's said they plan to continue their other business, European Focus Private Tours, which offers guided tours throughout Europe.

David and others have mentioned PersonalBrain as a potential useful tool. I've managed to implement GTD using a combination of Outlook and PersonalBrain.
I've started a thread on the PersonalBrain site for anyone interested. I'll answer any questions, but only in the one space.
Here's the content of the original post.
It's very powerful and given me new insights into my goals and horizons of focus.For those who are interested I now have a working integration of PersonalBrain and David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology. In truth I don't know where to begin explaining how it works - it's all in my brain! However I'm happy to answer any questions from fellow GTD'rs.
The basic components are:
1. Next Actions and contexts are tracked in Outlook
2. Projects and Someday/Maybe items are tracked in PersonalBrain. This allows me to get much better context for a Project. Projects get linked to a concept, GTD Horizons of Focus and other goal related items as appropriate.

Kim And Kourtney Kardashian's Dresses Konfound Us
Kim and Kourtney Kardashian stepped out Wednesday night for the launch of Los Angeles Confidential magazine's Fall Fashion issue and both their outfits left us totally confused.
They're not bad, per se, but it's almost as though both looks took a wrong turn somewhere around the waist. At first glance, Kourtney's lace bustier and super flattering off the shoulder cut had us swooning. And then we saw the feathers.
We're loving Kim's pared down hair, nipped waist, and metallic neutral shoes but… um, is her top made of leather? And is that skirt some strange hybrid of corduroy and velour?

With so many Android phones literally flooding the market these days, it's no wonder that there are also so many firmware upgrades and custom firmware being developed and released every now and then. A superior device with great stuff neatly packed into it, the Motorola Atrix 4G is one of the devices for whom developers have devoted significant firmware love.
One reason for the attention that devs give to the Atrix 4G is that it is a fantastic device with a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and robust ability for handling impressive graphics and video without choking. Together with its powerful processor and 1 GB of RAM, the Atrix 4G is a mean powerhouse that can be further exploited with the use of third-party applications and custom ROMs.
In an age where technology is constantly changing at an alarming pace it is important to always have a trusted source to get your updates in a timely fashion. Custom ROMs and factory firmware updates have played a crucial role in the development in many of our devices.
For those of you who have rooted your Atrix 4G and already have installed custom ROMs, then you might already have some bad experiences with regards to unofficial firmware sources. Unofficial firmware such as custom ROMs are literally filled with many bugs and disabled features. In many cases, these ROMs are not stable for daily use.
Luckily for owners of the Motorola Atrix 4G, there's an escape hatch for reverting to stock, functioning firmware and return the phone to its factory state.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to roll back your Motorola Atrix 4G to the official firmware version 4.5.91, regardless of your current firmware.
Congratulations! You have successfully flashed stock firmware version 4.5.91 on your Motorola Atrix 4G.

NEAOBA News Announcements
It is that time of year; how can we seek protection from Triple E? Author: Dean and Barbie Tilton
According to some studies around Triple E and misquotes, we are hearing that mostly it is the fall bugs that are carriers and transmitters. Certainly for us New England farmers this has proven true with some losses in the alpaca community occurring in the months of August October in 2005.
Because we all thought that camelids did not get this virus, it was a big shocker and is a scare for some. A great study was done, and some herd testing was done, and the outcome proved so far to be great although, the whole issue led to lots of questions. Farmers wondering if they should inoculate, will it really work, will there be long term effects down the road etc.
There is a good mix of folks that are not sure which way to go, us included. Some vets are not sure as well, as there just isnt enough research yet, as with many other camelid issues we face.
So, some interested alpaca enthusiasts have been asking me what I am doing about it.
I would like to say, Im ignoring it and hope it goes away? But, it wont, it will be a greater problem unless measures are in place to protect us and our animals.
What we are doing, because we did not inoculate this summer, is obviously hoping for a safe fall here. But, also have been looking into some practical herd management other than the shots for now and future years.
So, here are some things we are doing:
Use pyrethrum spray each a.m. and p.m. on all animals, and especially crias, legs, bellies, chest, and ears. See more on use of these pyrethrine/pyrethrum sprays by going to www.neaoba.org alpaca library article "How To Get Big Help From A Little Daisy."
An obvious thing is keeping the grounds the animals are on as dry as possible, rid puddle spots and any junk or things around that collect water.
Put larvae killer in standing water such as stagnant wet areas, ponds etc. (these dont effect anything except the mosquito eggs according to the labeling).
Put up some bat houses, bats eat huge numbers of insects a night, along with guinea hens, and encourage dragon flies.
Get a mosquito magnet, we do not have these yet, but hear good things mostly.
Have automatic bug misters in the barn spraying pyrethrum every 15 minutes over the animals.
Fans in the barn to hopefully hide the vapors that attracts the bugs...
Make sure there is yummy hay and fresh water in the barn so they want to stay in, rather than go out where we cant control the bugs so much, especially at dawn and dusk when Mosquitoes are more prevalent.
Along with the above, all this talk about the reason crias and older animals are effected is because they have lower immunity levels. So, I have been wondering ways to try to boost their immune systems, this is not as easy as it seems when I have been trying to gain some knowledge here. Because cria nurse on mom for so long, they arent taking in anything extra unless nibbles of hay for the first month or two then start nibbling pieces of grain and such.
One study done by a swine nutritionist investigated the benefit of adding various natural supplements to pig diets. They found that fish oil in young weaned pigs' diets can help build up their immune systems. It's been known that fish oils containing long-chain omega-3 fatty acids can be nutritious additions to a person's diet because they appear to lower the risk of cholesterol and heart disease. However, studies showed that compared to corn oil and other supplements, different levels of fish oil helped 18 day old piglets better prepare to fight off endotoxin challenges. The omega-3 fatty acids are absorbed through the intestine and help the immune cells cope with disease. U.S. producers could benefit from this finding because fish oil is less expensive than antibiotics.
So, if fish oil offers protection at the cellular level of the immune system, what can I feed my mom alpacas to give them extra nutrients that contain omega 3-fatty acids? FLAXSEED! Dr. Evans supplements have Flax meal, which is basically ground seed. We grind whole seeds weekly and add as a top dress daily.
It may be tiny, but its mighty: The flax seed carries one of the biggest nutrient payloads on the planet. And while its not technically a grain, it has a similar vitamin and mineral profile to grains, while the amount of fiber, antioxidants, and Omega-3 fatty acids in flax leaves grains in the dust. Flax seed is also good for hair, skin and many other things in people and animals.
There is an interesting piece (see below link) written by Jack Carter, Professor Emeritus Department of Plant Sciences North Dakota State University Fargo, North Dakota 58105
FLAXSEED as Functional Food for People... and as Feed for Other Animals
Another thing that will help keep immune systems at their peak, is to be sure your herd is healthy, so looking into what factors contribute to the organisms overcoming the immune system?
The two most important factors are the presence of a very large number of pathogens, and suppression of an animal's immune system. When animals are sick, they shed large numbers of pathogens. If the buildings ventilation system does not adequately exhaust these pathogens and bring in fresh air, these pathogens will persist and more animals will be infected. High humidity in the barn also contributes to high levels of air-borne pathogens.
Animals immune systems can be suppressed by high levels of ammonia in the air, spoiled feed that might contain mycotoxins and stresses such as:
Moving or transporting including loud noises
Moving animals amongst groups
Sickness (mastitis, digestive upset or other illnesses)
Excessive animal competition (overstocking)
Heat, cold and draft
Uncomfortable resting area
Large temperature fluctuations
Poor nutrition
Dust that irritates the respiratory tract
Very young animals have lower immunity than older animals and are more susceptible to stress. So, look at your herd and determine ways to keep stress at a minimum.
We have no guarantees that these things we do will keep our animals or any others from getting triple E or any other sickness for that matter. But feel, that by doing these things we have done due diligence in keeping our herd healthy.
Disclaimer: We are not veterinarians, just trying to investigate some options, and do recommend you investigate these items and discuss with your vet.

Exclusive Acid House Mix
Photography Dusdin Condren
You may know Pete Feigenbaum as the frontman to Brooklyn psychedelic synth-rock band Dinowalrus, as well as the ex-guitarist for Titus Andronicus (he was the really tall one with the mop-top) and one half of electronic drone-pop project OPTMSM (who you can check out in the HELLO! section of 'SUP MAGAZINE 22). Because that's not enough musical outfits for one man, this year Pete birthed Blizzardo, a project that harks back to acid house, happy hardcore, rave, and any other genre that inspired kids to wear flares and take a lot of pills in the early '90s. And because we love that shit, we asked Pete to make us an exclusive mix of his favorite acid house tracks to get us through to 2012, when Blizzardo will be playing more shows and hopefully putting out some records – and in any case, this mix (and the exclusive new track "You Don't Know Jack") should tide you over until Dinowalrus release their new record this March 6th, on Old Flame Records. Enjoy, and don't gurn too hard.

R News/YNN News TV Interview // WHAM 13 News TV Interview
On February 17, 2010, I met the love of my life, Elisabeth Baldanza. Our story is pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. Elisabeth was a resident director at SUNY Delhi. Realizing that there were no Christian groups on her campus, she started a Bible study completely on her own. She sent an email to BASIC Central to see how we could help. Within a few weeks, a dozen students were attending. I stopped by her office since I was already traveling to SUNY Oneonta to speak.
As soon as I met her, I knew she was special. She was confident and smart (and ridiculously BEAUTIFUL). We briefly discussed her Bible study, which was about the last thing on my mind at that moment. I stepped outside her room to make some phone calls. Before I left, I paced outside her office for about five minutes trying to talk myself into asking her to coffee. I finally got up the courage and tried to play it cool…"So, uh, I was going to get a coffee before I left. Want to join me?" To my astonishment, she said yes!
That began an incredible journey for us with all sorts of exciting milestones: watching our first movie together (a documentary about radical Islam…in retrospect, a poor choice for a first movie), our first 2-hour phone call, holding her hand for the first time at Dunkin' Donuts, watching my niece puke on her neck, etc.
I enjoyed every moment I spent with Elisabeth. Soon, it became clear that I wanted to spend the rest my life serving God together with this incredible woman.
I love our story because I'm convinced God brought us together. We were both doing college ministry independently; it was only through both of us trying to serve God in our present situations that we even met.
When trying to decide how to propose, I was clueless. A restaurant? A BASIC conference? I wanted it to really surprise her, and I wanted a memory that would last forever. I started to get discouraged the idea would never come.
Finally, laying on a couch at my friends Dave & Rachel Bode's house, the idea hit me: a fake movie trailer. How epic is that?! After a few iterations of the idea, I presented the idea to two good friends of mine, Dave Bode & Andrew Manzano. They are both incredibly talented video producers. They loved the idea and rallied behind me!
The filming took two full days, and I'm sure the editing took a bunch more. They brought in a professional voiceover actor, an actress, and another video producer (and now friend) Josh Pies. They even drove three and a half hours to film the actual proposal!
I'm so extremely grateful for all the help I received, especially from Andrew, Dave, and Josh. They have given Elisabeth and I a memory that will last a lifetime. Hope you enjoy the video!

Avon Planet Spa Japanese Sake & Rice Face Mask
Date: 01/07/09, updated on 01/07/09 (307 review reads)
Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Pricey
When it comes to face masks I'm a huge fan of them as a rule. I think it's just cos I see them as a pampering product more than anything else and so if I have a hot date or I'm going out on big night out with the girls I can usually be found prior to the event with a face mask on and lazing in the bath and the likes! Ok I'm vain...I admit it lol.
Not being a fan of Avon products but loving my rep, Anita I always feel obliged to purchase something from her so I tend to buy stuff on offer or reduced to mainly keep her happy lol.
I saw this on offer at £5.00 a tub (usual price £8.50) and decided that as I use face mask alot it wouldn't hurt to give this one a go!
The Packaging....
Has slightly changed lately so is not as depicted as on the top of this review page! The mask now comes in a clear 75ml pot with a white screw on/off lid to the top of it and on that there is a very light pink and white label on there and on that I'm told it's Planet Spa Japanese Sake And Rice invigorating face Mask from Avon and the size is stated. The pot comes in an off white box and again on the front I'm told what it is and all the information given on the pot is once again listed. On the bottom of the box ingredients are listed, contact details for Avon are given and the recycle symbol is displayed. What is nice about this product is that for once Avon has given us a bit of information about what we've purchased. I'm fed up of buying products from this company and not knowing how to use them from time through a lack of directions given! This however has a white leaflet in the box and on that I'm told a bit about the product and then shown a reflexology map of the face and then all that information is of course given in the usual style of Avon....given over and over again in foreign languages lol.
A Bit About The Product According to The leaflet....
This revitalizing face mask removes dry, flaky skin as it cleans while the massaging action relaxes stressed, tense muscles and helps stimulate circulation.
Massage into damp skin applying gentle pressure to acupuncture points indicated on included face map. Leave on for 5 minutes until mask lightly dries. Using fingertips, massage of mask gently in circular motion. Rinse remaining mask off with warm water. Use 2 times a week.
Using It...
Well the first time you go to use this product and twist off the lid you're met with a pull off piece of white plastic which keeps the product fresh. Then I was shocked (due to the quantity not being very much at all and less than half the supplied tub) with a highly sweet and creamy very wet and runny face mask which is oatmeal beige in colour with bits of bran in there sort of looking like you've made some porridge up far too runny!
Applying it due to the consistency is very easy and a little of this product really does go a long way indeed. It smears on rather transparent and all you can see is the small bits of exfoliating beads which there is an abundance of. Following the instructions I apply it to slightly damp skin and first off massage it all over my face which although it feels quite exfoliating it really doesn't feel scratchy or uncomfortable no matter how much pressure you apply using it. I then, with the help of the face map included in the box massage certain areas. An example of this is if you massage your chin your massaging your sexual organs...ahem.
Then after a couple of minutes of gentle massage and another quick rub over my face I leave the mask to do it's job for a few minutes until it dries as promised slightly. It gives off a rather weird cooling and heated sensation as it penetrates the skin and the only issue I had with this mask is that it really did make my eyes water though it wasn't a huge problem it did make one of my eyes feels lightly sore for the duration this product was on my face.
Rinsing it off was easy to do and I simply used cool water and that was that it was all very straightforward and uncomplicated to use.
Easy to use this is truly a gorgeous product and no wonder it normally costs £8.50 a tube to be fair to it. Not only does it leave skin smelling gorgeous and luxurious, skin looks a hundred per cent brighter and smoother (in my opinion). It really did deep down cleanse my skin and it felt so clean! My lines and wrinkles looked softer and all round my skin just looked so hydrated (in a none greasy way) and was as smooth as a babies bum! I find that if I use this a couple of times a week as a skin treat my skin appreciates it and overall my complection looks so much brighter prior to using this and I've had no new spots or blackheads appear of late. I really, really rate this as a luxurious skin treatment for men and women who really need a skin brightener and desire smooth skin ta boot!
Only available from Avon.
Summary: Brilliant Avon!

William Chow, who runs the ETF business for Hong Kong-based Value Partners, talks to Hubbis about his view and outlook on ETFs in Asia, especially given the current stage of the market's development, and some of the frustrations that many issuers are now facing.
Date: Nov 2011
Tags: ETFs, Transparency, Fees, Portfolio construction
How is the ETF market developing in Asia?
There has been a lot of growth in this space in Asia, and in the last few years many fund houses have jumped into the market to try to grab a share of the pie. However, only five or six of the 20-plus players in the Asian markets are serious players, and Value Partners is certainly one of them.
The process of educating retail investors about ETFs will be a long one. Asian investors tend to be stock-pickers in nature, which is different from what happens in the US, for example, where they often express their investment opinions through ETFs. So this characteristic of Asian investors really drives the liquidity of the products.
Also, the regulators have been taking a conservative stance in terms of product development in Asia over the last couple of years. This is understandable given that the regulator is focused on protecting the retail investor. Market players are working closely with the regulators to understand how to enhance risk disclosure, and provide a lot more information about products to increase their comfort levels as much as possible.
As a result, there has been growing frustration with the market from many providers. Some of them were a bit over-optimistic initially. Issuers will therefore need to be patient.
How can you differentiate what you offer in the market?
For example, our gold ETF is unique given that all the gold is stored in Hong Kong, at the airport. After launching initially in November 2010 with US$25 million assets under management (AUM), roughly a year later we have about US$150 million AUM.
I see a lot of investors, whether locally, from China or elsewhere, diversifying their portfolio not only with the Gold ETF, but also in terms of where the gold is stored.
Also, our first ETF was focused on the China market. For this we created our own investment methodology in partnership with FTSE, to develop a more active ETF which does stock-picking via a systematic approach. To identify the 25 value stocks, we look at various factors, including: valuations, the quality of the stock, dividend yields, operating profit margins, and contrarian factors.
In choppy markets, what types of ETF innovation might be possible?
In volatile markets where inflation is also high, ETF providers have an opportunity to provide yield-enhancement type products.
There is also space for commodities underlyings to develop, and potentially RMB ETFs in the years to come.
Do you expect to see any consolidation in the Asian ETF market?
Year-to-date, there have been some redemptions from product providers in Asia. At the same time, a lot of ETFs have not really taken off.
These challenges lead the providers to question whether they should continue to invest in their businesses in what is already a crowded marketplace.
What types of reforms would help the market develop further?
Enhancing transparency is important, although this is more difficult with ETF products which are more focused on generating alpha, compared with the more passive ETFs.
There also has to be a sharper regulatory spotlight on stock lending, given that this has become a concern for authorities around the world.
Ultimately, the more transparency there is and the more risk disclosure in the market, the better it is for investors.
Do investors understand ETFs enough to the extent to which they look at certain criteria to influence their investment decisions?
When it comes to more straightforward products, these are easier for investors to understand, and they are seen as safe, so investors buy into these without too much hesitation.
For more innovative products, it takes time and a track record to encourage investors to buy into these and show that the ETFs work in the way they say they do.
What can retail investors learn from the way in which institutional investors use ETFs?
They need to take a longer-term approach to their financial planning, and by looking at their risk appetite and investment objective, they need to see where ETFs fit into their portfolio.
How should investors view ETFs as part of their portfolio construction process?
Investors in ETFs should take a core-satellite approach to their portfolio.
They should focus on their investment objectives and what they want to achieve, combined with their risk appetite, to determine how they can use ETFs as a part of the construction of their portfolio.
How should wealth managers discuss ETFs with their clients in terms of how and where they fit in client portfolios?
The cost-effectiveness of ETFs, certainly compared with mutual funds, is one of the things which makes them attractive. At the same time, the product generally offers a lot of transparency, with providers often showing all the holdings on a daily basis and how much cash and stocks the ETFs hold, and also the dividend payout, in a very systematic way.
Also, an important point which most investors don't think about, is that they can be traded at any time during the day. By comparison, mutual funds can be traded less frequently.
How can providers help to overcome the resistance from wealth managers to selling ETFs, based on the fact that they get paid less commission for these products?
This is the source of the frustration for product providers. Another part of the reason for the somewhat slower take-up of ETFs in Asia than many issuers would have hoped is the lower incentive from distributors to recommend these products to investors.
There is also a lack of distributions for ETFs in Asia compared with in the US, Europe or even Australia, where fee-based models via a larger IFA community exists, where these advisers get paid on AUM instead of transaction-led commission.
My best guess is to see the IFA distribution channel develop in Asia over the next two to three years. Also, I think brokerage arm can be a media for ETF distribution channel going forward, and I can see this happening right now.
Therefore, there is a question-mark over the extent to which some providers can build up the AUM of their new products.
From which types of investors do you expect to see growth in ETFs coming from?
One group is family offices, which pose a lot of potential to buy ETFs for portfolio construction as part of a core-satellite strategy.

Mansfield, AR., February 6, 2012 - Once again, Mansfield High School has been selected as one of 25 schools across the U.S. and Canada to receive a $2,000 Project Ignition grant for 2012.
The grant will be awarded on February 3 at 2:45 PM at a student assembly in the Mansfield High
School gym.
This marks the fifth time in the last six years that Mansfield has been selected among the top twenty-five high schools nationally in this driving safety education competition, and brings the grant award total to Mansfield to $10,000 since 2006. This year's winning campaign at Mansfield is entitled "On My Honor".
Project Ignition is a student-led teen driver safety program funded by State Farm and coordinated by the National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC). It was developed because car crashes are the No. 1 killer of America's youth. Through the Project Ignition competition, Mansfield students and student groups across the nation, are working to change that devastating reality.
If their safety campaign is selected at the end of the school year as one of the top 10, they are eligible to receive additional funding (up to $7,500) to extend their campaign and to participate in the National Service Learning Conference in Minneapolis MN in April, where they would showcase this campaign for greater teen driver safety.
"As the nation's leading insurer of vehicles, State Farm makes it a priority to promote teen driver safety through programs like Project Ignition," says State Farm representative Jeff Davis. "We believe in the power of young people to make a difference and are happy to join them in promoting teen driver safety. We especially want to congratulate the administration, faculty and student body at Mansfield for their outstanding achievement in being among the top 25 schools nationally for the fifth time."
State legislators Bruce Holland of Greenwood, Terry Rice of Waldron, and Jon Eubanks of Paris were in attendance for the presentation made by State Farm agent Melody Rhodes of Greenwood. Rhodes and Ronnie Plummer of Waldron serve the Mansfield area for State Farm.

Olympic dream ends for new mom
Trek World Racing's Willow Rockwell née Koerber announced that despite her best efforts to return to the sport of mountain biking after taking time out to have her daughter, the reality of the situation is nothing like she had imagined. In this past week, Rockwell decided definitively that it's time to stop racing for good and focus on her new family.
Recent experiences at the opening round of the World Cup in South Africa and in training back home have acted as wake-up calls for Rockwell, who found herself needing to be honest about being able to push herself so hard whilst also being the mother of a new-born baby. Her daughter Raven was born on December 31.
The 34-year-old had an illustrious career in the sport which included two bronze medals at the cross country world championships, as well as numerous continental and national titles, and was ranked as high as number two in the world on the UCI rankings in 2011. She served as an ambassador for Trek and Gary Fisher bicycles after joining the Subaru-Gary Fisher team (later the Subaru-Trek team) in 2005 and then switching to Trek World Racing at the beginning of last year.
Rockwell released a statement which in part said, "After much soul searching, and many tears, I have decided to end my mountain bike racing career. I committed to racing for 2012 before having my child. There was no way I could have predicted the changes that have occurred within me. Thank you for your support during this time of intense decision and transformation."
"I especially thank my Team Manager Martin Whiteley and my team, Trek World Racing, for understanding that sometimes life has other plans. Enjoy every moment on the bicycle, for every moment adds up to create your life!"

Click here for RACER's gallery of images from the SEMA Show.
Rockstar Energy Etnies Ford driver, Tanner Foust, walked away with the 2012 Global Rallycross Championship title in the series' season finale, held in conjunction with the SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The sixth and final round of the 2012 GRC calendar showcased the series in their first stand-alone event of the season.
The championship title was decided after a full-course restart. The first finale attempt was red flagged after six laps when Ken Block's Monster World Rally Team Ford Fiesta started smoking and was deemed to pose a fire hazard in the infield. Prior to the red flag, Foust had just passed Block for the lead.
"Ken got a good start; I was locked in on his bumper," Foust related. "I found some places where I had to be patient and I knew I could take him, he made the slightest mistake and I made the pass."
Foust entered the finale event leading Ford teammate, Brian Deegan by six points in the championship standings. "The build-up to each heat is pretty substantial; you get pretty nervous and you get really focused, that's what the nervousness does," said Foust, who secured his second consecutive rallycross championship.
Deegan kicked off his day posting a tough qualifying round after losing a tire in the first heat, sending him to the Last-Chance Qualifier. "I got a decent start behind Block, (Sverre) Isachsen just rammed through me like he does every time, which blew my tire off the rim," fumed Deegan. "When something like that happens you can't control it. It put me in the Last Chance and I had to do the best I could, dig deep, block everything out and win the LCQ.
Ford Racing won the 2012 Global Rallycross Championship Manufacturers Award after posting a 1-2 finish with Deegan and Foust. Rhys Millen finished third; Samuel Hubinette and Toomas Heikkinen rounded out the top five.
Andretti Sports Marketing pleased with Rallycross debut
The Las Vegas event marked the debut of Andretti Sports Marketing as a Rallycross promoter. With a two-week lead time, ASM assisted in GRC's effort to transition the Las Vegas Convention Center's Gold Lot into a rallycross circuit, complete with pavement to dirt transitions and a 70-foot gap jump featuring 10,000 tons of dirt. The 0.6-mile circuit consisted of eight turns and was lined with corporate suites, spectator areas and exclusive VIP viewing.
"Working with the Andretti Sports Marketing team has been a big help to the operational support of GRC," said the CEO of the Global Rallycross Championship, Chip Pankow. "Being our season finale event, we knew we wanted to put on a great show at SEMA. With little notice ASM was able to build a team to help execute the operational side and last night's event was a success."
ASM's debut in rallycross racing was its third event of the 2012 auto racing season, following the Milwaukee IndyFest at the historic Milwaukee Mile, and the Grand Prix of Baltimore.

Lawmakers look for more cuts
Minnesota legislators are trying to decide if they can live with a $3 billion budget-balancing solution based on spending cuts and delaying payments to schools.By: Forum Communications, Lake County News Chronicle
Minnesota legislators are trying to decide if they can live with a $3 billion budget-balancing solution based on spending cuts and delaying payments to schools.
That was the question legislative leaders were asking the state's 201 lawmakers Tuesday night after two meetings with Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who earlier in the day vetoed an income tax increase proposal passed by the Democratic-controlled Legislature.
The deficit is the only remaining issue in the 2010 legislative session, Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller, DFL-Minneapolis, said Tuesday night. "We're positioned to go home if there is an agreement."
The constitution requires the session to end by Monday.
A $1.7 billion delay in state payments to schools is the foundation of the balanced-budget plan being considered. Up to $800 million in state spending in most areas of government would have to be cut under the plan, but the question is whether those cuts would be permanent or temporary; Republicans generally favor permanent cuts that would reduce future budgets while Democrats prefer temporary cuts so the money may be there in the future to fund programs.
The $2.5 billion proposal would cover a hole opened last week when the state Supreme Court ruled Pawlenty budget cuts last summer were illegal. Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung said negotiators have yet to discuss another $500 million budget gap that appeared since last year's Pawlenty cuts.
Republicans, including Pawlenty, refuse to accept higher state taxes, and proposed the plan based on school payment delays and budget cuts. The rejection of new taxes led Democrats to say Republicans need to step forward with ideas.
"We certainly are looking for ... those Republicans who have some ideas about what to do," House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL-Minneapolis, said.
The Senate Republican leader was willing to take on the job.
"If Republicans have to step up and lead the majority, if you will, Republicans will step up," Sen. Dave Senjem, R-Rochester, said.
House Republican leader Kurt Zellers, R-Maple Grove, did not jump at the chance Kelliher presented. Instead, Zellers said, budget talks need to involve five parties: House and Senate DFL and GOP leaders and the Republican governor.
"I don't think anybody should be the one person to solve it," Zellers said.
Rep. Rod Hamilton of Mountain Lake, an assistant GOP leader, entered negotiations for the first time on Tuesday.
"I'm the eternal optimist," Hamilton said, but could offer no specific solutions to the budget problem.
However, he said after leaving budget talks, "everybody is responsible in that room. They are just standing up for what they believe in."
On Monday night, Democrats passed, with no GOP support, a budget-balancing bill that included a tax increase.
The governor vetoed the budget bill Tuesday, saying he could not accept a new, higher, tax on Minnesota couples who make $200,000 a year. He said about 122,000 taxpayers would be affected with an average $2,800 tax increase.

Calico Surrenders
Jan 23, 2009 - Calico and Maitresse Madeline
Calico is incredibly sex with a hot little body and beautiful smile. Maitresse Madeline takes great pleasure in punishing and humiliating her in bondage. Calico's gorgeous ass is spanked, flogged and thoroughly caned which leaves beautiful bright red marks. She is fucked with a big cock while suspended until she comes and then strap-on fucked with butt plug inserted. A zipper is ripped from her chest in mid orgasm. Lesbian BDSM at it's finest!

However, julieghoulie your comment about the "sadistic super villain" has me chuckling and I can't help myself. I did the twirl myself, glad you noticed.

Jan 24, 2009 | This was really excellent, best shoot in a long time. The flogging and the caning were both really hard, definitely in the 'that's gonna leave a mark' category. And Calico has an absolutely perfect ass to get caned. More Madeline please - I am in agreement she is the best at Kink. Although I do think the use of the word 'fuck' was over the top - I think I heard it more in this shoot than in the whole movie Casino. | Great! | gatoco |

Dec 7, 2009 | How can I serve Maitresse? She is every girl's naughty dream fantasy! | Great! | karenbimi |
Dec 23, 2009 | not enough real pussy whipping. great suspension, great face down cross. but oehough pussy whipping, should have whipped her to a froth, and made her come . | Great! | charlenexxx |
Dec 27, 2009 | calico is beautiful, but she seemed a bit guarded... the chemistry felt off. | Good | mariacantface |
Jan 29, 2010 | i must take back my earlier comment, having watched more videos with the lovely calico, and now attribute the somewhat atonal chemistry to a difference in styles, madeline's style being more dramatic, and calico's personality being more submerged... it seems like calico functions better with someone like claire adams, who can draw her out. so, if not quite a bull's eye, still entertaining to watch. | Good | mariacantface |
Apr 30, 2011 | what a combination... | Great! | freeborn2 |
May 12, 2011 | I only say fair because I saw Calico and Maitresse in the 'performers' thing, and set my standards higher than any shoot could have met. That said, certainly not bad, and here's hoping you two get together again soon. | Fair | jackyl |
Jul 23, 2011 | Calico is the best! I subscribe to different sites just because she is on them! She is the hottest of them all! Please bring her back to kink soon! Maitresse is a great dom-I will enjoy this site because there are many updates with her in it. Great shoot! | Great! | Rycher67 |
Jul 30, 2011 | Top Notch! Love you Maitresse! | Great! | rnkblch |
Oct 8, 2012 | This is still one of my favourite shoots. Calico is so sweet she is edible and MM is hot, hot, hot. The chemistry is superb. | Great! | hornblower75 |
