Seven juveniles were charged by the Lee County Sheriff's Office for stealing golf carts, and one of them was charged with criminal mischief for smashing out a window at the Boca Grande Post Office.
According to reports on Wednesday, June 13 a deputy met with a Gasparilla Inn security guard who advised he heard loud voices arguing near 5th Street and Railroad Avenue. When the deputy approached that area he saw a golf cart heading northbound on the path. After asking the vehicle to stop the deputy saw a white male jump from the cart and begin running. The deputy caught up to the male, a juvenile, and detained him.

To the Editor:
The Boca Grande Camera Club had a very successful season this year. We built to 66 members, had a full complement of speakers, demonstrations, guest lecturers, field trips and training sessions. And, our third annual photo exhibition showed the work of 22 photographers offering more than 100 photos to the acclaim of the expansive attendees.
The News - Letter to Editor
We are all so quick to complain and not realize the wonderful things we have in Boca Grande.
Yesterday I experienced firsthand just how great our fire department and EMS services are. We are very lucky to have people who care and give great service to us.
Let's all see the greatness of Boca and it's people and services.

I was a traditional tarpon fishing guide in Boca Grande Pass for 26 years. In my prime I boated somewhere around 500 tarpon a year and on good years well over 600. In all those years I rarely caught a tarpon anywhere but in the mouth from the inside out with my Mustad 7690 5/0 J hooks. By rarely I mean once or twice a year. It was my belief and the belief of the master who taught me that those one or two fish had thrown the hook when they jumped and the hook landed somewhere else on the tarpon.
As an elementary school teacher for more than 28 years, I have always told my students to follow their hearts in doing what is right for a cause. The awareness that my tarpon slaughter movie has created for the tarpon of Boca Grande is one of my proudest moments and a testimony for all those who have walked through my classroom door. The photos taken that day tell the real truth, because the camera doesn't lie.

Leadership secretsAt a recent seminar with senior journalists in Seoul, a leading presidential contender of the Saenuri Party, Rep. Park Geun-hye, was asked to characterize the May 16 military coup d'etat of 1961, through which her late father took power. In her response, she defended the coup as ``inevitable and the best possible choice,'' and further expressed that the event served as the cornerstone of what Korea has become today. She added that historians and the public would reinterpret the events of 1961 someday. Her remarks drew a barrage of criticism from many political opponents and pundits. Nonetheless, aside from the legitimacy of the military coup, there is unanimous consensus on late President Park's efforts and success in leading the country out of chronic poverty and economic underdevelopment. Likewise, other former presidents of the Republic of Korea, notwithstanding their respective political and social drawbacks, are remembered with their signature policies as follows. Late President Park Chung-hee is remembered for laying the foundation of economic development, former President Chun Doo-hwan for the ``Miracle of the Han River'' which ensured continued economic progress, former President Roh Tae-woo for his success in the ``Northern Policy'' that had widened Korea's diplomatic horizon over communist bloc nations, and late President Kim Dae-jung for his ``Sunshine Policy'' on North Korea which was intended for sustaining stability on the Korean Peninsula. At this point in time, I wonder what historians and the public would later remember incumbent President Lee Myung-bak. During his tenure, President Lee attracted and presided over two important international events in Korea; the G-20 Summit of 2010 and the Nuclear Security Summit of 2012. These large-scale summit meetings have helped enhance Korea's standing in international arena. Nonetheless, President Lee's activities and statements are less covered these days by the Korean domestic media. Coverage on the words and activities of presidential contenders from both the ruling and opposition parties is occupying the front pages. Accomplishments of the incumbent President Lee are less debated or even mentioned. His term of office will be over in a few months. He, in fact, is a Lame Duck, the word defined in dictionaries as one whose position or term of office will soon end. What is making matters worse for the President are the news reports of wrong-doings such as embezzlement and bribe-taking by his family including elder brother, several close assistants and subordinates. The negative news certainly compromises the leadership of President Lee. Regardless of his being a lame duck, the nation still expects President Lee to be the nation's steersman. The nation has been under constant threat and intimidation from North Korea. The export-driven economy is now haunted by the sluggish progress of the European Union, U.S. and China. President Lee is serving the final months of his term during which he should demonstrate his brilliant leadership for the successful conclusion of his pledges to the nation. In 1990, I translated into Korean, ``Leadership Secretes of Attila the Hun,'' published by Gimm Young Sa. I presented this book to then President Roh Tae-woo, for whom I served as press secretary and first director of press operations, ``Chun Chu Gwan,'' from 1988 through 1992. Former President Roh, from the second year of his term, was under serious criticism for his seemingly weak leadership. The nation was moving through a transition period from authoritative military rule to a less rigid and more liberal government. Street demonstrations were daily events in Seoul. The president and government leaders were seemingly indecisive and incompetent to deal with boiling political situation. President Roh Tae-woo was nick-named ``Mool Tae-woo'' referring to a seemingly diluted power of the presidency. As his subordinate, I felt obliged to offer some suggestions and the translated version of ``Leadership Secretes of Attila the Hun'' was a proper medium. The following are some of the lessons from Attila: You have to want to be in charge; You, always, have to appear as the one in charge; Make others adapt to your customs and never condone a lack of morale; The most important thing is to make timely decisions. Those suggestions would have been able to help President Lee swiftly and effectively handle the volatile domestic situation when tens of thousands of Koreans took to the streets of Seoul, holding candles and enchanting slogans against imports of mad cow meat. A few incidents of North Korean provocations including the sinking of the Korean Naval vessel, Cheonan, and the artillery bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island, are examples of situations warranting the President's decisive and resolute leadership. Someday, historians and the public will reinterpret his leadership. The legacies and accomplishments that President Lee is leaving behind should be good historical precedents for many presidential contenders. The presidential election in Korea will be held on Dec. 19, 2012, and is now only four months away. The nation is yearning for someone who can inspire us all to live each day with purpose and joy, and leaders who are rational, future oriented and global minded. We need leaders that may not need to be reminded of Attila's leadership secrets. The writer is a chair professor of the Catholic University of Daegu.

- Making a tough 2013 even worse for bond funds is tax-loss selling. "There's not a whole lot of other losses out there," explains Tim Courtney, taking note of the approximate 25% gain the broad stock market.
- "Every year we see investors running from bad performance when they set their new asset allocations," says S&P CapitalIQ's Todd Rosenbluth. "Investors want their money to work for them, and bond funds certainly haven't been delivering like they used to."
- Previous: Investors are cutting fixed income allocations and upping equity at what may be exactly the wrong time.

- The financial crisis changed nothing, writes Vanguard's Fran Kinniry: Investors continue to chase returns, and have lately been jettisoning fixed income for stocks. Driven by the 4th greatest bull market on record - a cumulative return of 198% since the bottom - global equity allocation for investors has increased to 57% from 38%, and vs. the 20-year median of 51%.
- It's probably time for the typical investor (one with an equity-heavy portfolio) to maintain a prudent allocation by directing new cash flows into bonds, while selling stocks - the exact opposite of where money is flowing today.
- "Rebalancing usually seems counterintuitive at the time when it promises to be most effective," says Finniry. "It can be difficult to implement from a behavioral standpoint and requires incredible discipline." With equities partying and the near-universal belief of higher interest rates on the way, who could blame an investor for not wanting to sell stocks and buy bonds.
- "It is very common following significant gains in the equity markets for investors to question the benefits of rebalancing," but it's never "different this time;" instead it's the "same as it ever was."

- "Equities are roughly linear, debt isn't," reminds Citi's Matt King as he warns of a massive debt bubble. He posts a chart (slide 4 of presentation) of Lehman's stock price vs. bond price in the time leading up to the collapse - the stock price declined steadily over a 2-year period, while the bond trundled along until it went from about 70 cents to the dollar to zero in an instant.
- Developed economies are as dependent on credit growth as they ever were, he argues, and the debts of the last cycle have not been written off, but instead covered up. What's more the "illness" of credit dependence has spread to emerging markets.
- Conclusion: "Buy the best seats, but sit near the exit," another way of saying he prefers uncrowded high beta trades (stocks) to crowded low beta trades (fixed income).

Reblogged from Black Box Warnings:
From the Oxford Dictionary
Definition of crazy
- adjective (crazier, craziest): mad, especially as manifested in wild or aggressive behaviour.
- archaic (of a ship or building) full of cracks or flaws; unsound.
We've all had our moments of crazy. Little peeks behind the sanity curtain. In context, it's fine, like screaming like a banshee at the television during the substitute for paleolithic aggression we call sports.
I see what it is life to live with a mental illness everyday. I deal with mental illness everyday. This is an open and honest article that gets it spot on.

Relief Society Lesson 1: Our Father in Heaven
In the Book of Mormon, Alma debated Korihor about the existence of God:
Alma 30:43-44
43 And now Korihor said unto Alma: If thou wilt show me aasign, that I may be convinced that there is a God, yea, show unto me that he hath power, and then will I be convinced of the truth of thy words.
44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of aall these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the bearth, and call things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its dmotion, yea, and also all theeplanets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.
What strengthens your testimony of God?
From the Life of Joseph Fielding Smith
While Alma's knowledge of science added to his testimony of God, Joseph Fielding Smith observed that the increased scientific knowledge we enjoy today does not always have the same effect:
Great progress has been made in mechanics, chemistry, physics, surgery, and other things. Men have built great telescopes that have brought the hidden galaxies to view. They have, by the aid of the microscope, discovered vast worlds of microorganisms. … They have discovered means to control disease. … They have invented machines more sensitive than the human touch, more far-seeing than the human eye. They have controlled elements and made machinery that can move mountains, and many other things have they done too numerous to mention… All of these discoveries and inventions have not drawn men nearer to God! 1
Joseph Fielding Smith taught that science is inadequate to learn about God:
We know that God is known only by revelation, that he stands revealed or remains forever unknown. We must go to the scriptures—not to the scientists or philosophers—if we are to learn the truth about Deity.
For some, believing in God comes naturally. For others, it is a struggle. As we discuss faith in God, it is important not to let the discussion turn to vilifying atheists and agnostics. The scriptures teach that a testimony is a spiritual gift and not all people receive the same spiritual gifts.
11 For all have not every gift given unto them; for there are many gifts, and to every man [and woman] is given a gift by the Spirit of God.
12 To some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby.
13 To some it is given by the aHoly Ghost to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world.
14 To others it is given to abelieve on their words, that they also might have eternal life if they continue faithful.
While we may not all be blessed with the spiritual gift of a testimony of God, this revelation encourages us to "seek ye earnestly the best gifts" (D&C 46: 8).
Hoyt W. Brewster Jr., Joseph Fielding Smith's grandson, reported that Smith's "…prayers were always very personal—as if talking to a friend."2
What do you think leads a person to be able to pray to God "as if talking to a friend"? How might we "seek earnestly" to strengthen our relationships with God?
