PASADENA, Calif. - There's no second act for celebrities on "Dancing With the Stars."
ABC Entertainment Chairman Paul Lee said Thursday that was the lesson from the past few months, when the network brought back some favourite contestants from its long-running competition series and the show fell flat.
Emmitt Smith, Bristol Palin, Pamela Anderson and winner Melissa Rycroft came back for the all-star edition. But Nielsen said viewership was down 21 per cent on Monday nights from the previous fall.
Lee said it was clear that viewers enjoyed the journey of celebrities learning how to dance, instead of coming in with skills already learned.
This spring's edition will have first-time competitors.

HOUSTON – The Houston Dynamo made things simple regarding their CONCACAF Champions League fate with their 2-0 win over W Connection.
Houston cashed in on a riveting smash from rookie Jason Johnson and a second-half insurance header from Bobby Boswell to move to seven points in Group 1. With their final match opponent Árabe Unido currently on six points, the Dynamo only needs a result when they travel to Panama Oct. 24 to book passage to the knockout stages.
The result of the game accomplished Houston's basic intent, but the goal from Johnson gave it some flare in an otherwise quiet affair.
Johnson shook the game out of a slumber with a rocket of a goal off a gifted chance from the W Connection goalkeeper. Alejandro Figueroa cleared a goal kick right to the Dynamo rookie 30 yards from goal. Johnson powered through the right side, into the box and unleashed an absolutely sterling strike to the far side netting to give the Dynamo a 1-0 lead in the 40th minute.
Boswell added an early second-half tally to distance Houston from the visitors. After Servando Carrasco had a point blank shot saved, Boswell hit he near post on the ensuing corner to head a shot on goal. Joao Jordao's arm was in the wrong place, as the ball deflected off him and in for the insurance goal.
Johnson's goal was the highlight in a half where Houston, while not impressive, did create chances.
Warren Creavalle was just wide from 10 yards out in the 22nd minute and Cam Weaver hit the crossbar off a Boswell flick 10 minutes later. Kofi Sarkodie, who was excellent getting up the right flank to create in the attack, got a taste of his own medicine when Jordao cleared his left-footed attempt off the line in the 34th minute.
W Connection, while without the ball for much of the game, did have an early attempt when captain Silvio Spann attempted to unlock the game from 28 yards out but was wide of goal.
After a lively start from Connection in the second half, Omar Cummings, who was starting his first game this season; somehow missed the target from just 7 yards out. However, Boswell's goal soon followed to give the Dynamo a cushion.
Second-half substitute Jamal Clarence threatened Houston's goal in the 61st minute after getting behind the defense but the returning Tyler Deric was quick off his line to snuff out the chance.
Carrasco took an attempt at the spectacular four minutes later with an ambitious crane kick, but Mekeil Williams was there to block the shot as the Dynamo saw out a big win in the regional tournament.

A Stepford Wife Is Not Complete Without Her Smile….
Proverbs 31 in the good book may outline many of the qualities to be a strong, good, hard-working wife. Many of our readers who are terrific individuals who work hard at their marriage and relationship on top of their daily routine know this. However, what sets a Stepford Wife apart is that you should do all this – on top of your daily work – with a big, bright smile.
A Stepford Wife may work hard – at cooking, cleaning, taking care of and pleasing the man in our lives, but it means nothing unless we do it with a smile, especially a smile for him.
We look at it this way: smiling is the cherry on top of dressing nice, being neat and clean, courteous and polite, and staying in shape.
Constant dieting and exercise are great. Never complaining and sugar-coating everything as if your station in life is the greatest thing is wonderful, but smiling is the crown that should sit on all that hard work. Smiling means we are happy to be compliant and submissive to our man's needs and his happiness.
The art of the Stepford Wife is to make it all seem effortless. Let the day glide by as if you haven't lifted a finger…and look forward to the night when we do our real work.
With a smile to show how glad we are to be with him!

The Sunday before last, the Archbishops of Westminster and Southwark sent a letter to be read out in every Catholic parish in England and Wales reminding the faithful of the nature and importance of marriage, and our responsibility as Christians to defend marriage for our sake and that of future generations. This letter was prompted by the Coalition Government's stated intention to introduce legislation that would redefine marriage as a gender-neutral institution, opening up the way for same-sex couples to receive the right to solemnise their relationships as marriage on a par with heterosexual couples. This is a political action that, if we are to value the institution of marriage, and protect its integrity, we must all in good conscience (in keeping with the Church's teaching, reflected in the archbishops' letter) actively and strenuously oppose.
The best way to do this is to submit a contribution to the Government's current consultation on same-sex marriage, which asks as its first question what respondents think of the basic proposal. As many Catholics as possible should write in making their views known. For many, however, this may seem a daunting task. The arguments against same-sex marriage seem counter-intuitive to the culture in which we live, and those who stick their head above the parapet to argue against the idea are frequently mocked, and slandered, as hopelessly antediluvian, homophobic bigots. As Christians, however, we know that God never asks us to do something that He does not give us the grace, strength, and ability to accomplish. Correspondingly, both a rational and powerful case against the re-definition of marriage, and an effective method of presenting it, are open to us.
The starting point in explaining why marriage should not be re-defined is precisely the one that the archbishops have described: the nature and purpose of marriage. In every culture throughout history, marriage has been the union of a man and a woman that is inherently fulfilled by, and is intrinsically oriented to, the generation of children. Marriage exists to provide the stability of formalised monogamous fidelity, which not only benefits the man and woman who enter into it, but forms the best atmosphere in which the children who result from their union can best be brought up. Indeed, the husband and wife consummate their union precisely by acts of sexual intercourse that do not just unite them together in love, but form the behaviour of reproduction. The nature of marriage, then, is a result of human nature, as our species has evolved to pair sexually as male and female, and in such a way that will result in the next generation being born and raised. It is, in this sense, a natural institution, and a fundamental part of what the Holy Father has called "human ecology".
Marriage is also, therefore, a fundamental element of what the Church calls, the "common good", by which we mean those institutions and conditions that lead to the flourishing of all human beings. We might say the common good is our "social ecology" – the social conditions that create the most beneficial culture for the good of humanity. Marriage forms the bedrock of the family – the basic unit of society – and it is therefore in the interests of the state to support and promote it. This is why the natural institution of marriage became a civil institution, regulated and recognised by government. By providing a formal and official recognition of marriage, our society prescribes the conjugal union of husband and wife as an ideal form of relationship. This reflects what we know about marriage: that it helps bind husband and wife together in faithfulness, and forms the best context in which to bring up children.
Why, then, should changing the definition of marriage, in order to include a small minority of same-sex couples, be deleterious to this fundamental human institution? For David Cameron, and other members of the Coalition Government, marriage is certainly beneficial insofar as it affirms "fidelity and commitment", so why not allow two men or two women this affirmation? The rational answer to this is simply that marriage is not about "fidelity and commitment" alone. Marriage necessarily involves the possibility of the generation and bringing up of children, and by extending civil marriage to same-sex couples the state would be, on a very basic level, re-defining marriage itself. This is a move that would have profound and harmful consequences, in two particular ways that we may currently foresee.
The first of these consequences would be the effect it would have on our culture. The law changes, by the force of its authority, the way that society thinks, and how it perceives itself. By re-defining marriage, not only would Government be abandoning what it currently institutes as the ideal relationship, but it would, by implication, be denying that ideal. The relationship between husband and wife as the best context in which to bring up children would no longer be privileged by the state, and this would formalise an unfortunate view to the contrary that is already pervading public consciousness. Since the legalisation of same-sex adoption, and the legislative mandate that a child's birth certificate no longer need mention the child's father but may instead register the mother's same-sex partner, our society has already begun to affirm the view that one or other of a child's parents are dispensable to their upbringing. This is thoroughly wrong, and contrary to the best interests of children, who should have the chance to be brought up with, and have access to, the masculinity of their father and the femininity of their mother. As the columnist Matthew Parris once wrote: "I am glad I had both a mother and a father, and that after childhood I was to spend my life among both men and women, and as men and women are not the same, I would have missed something if I had not learned first about the world from, and with, both a woman and a man, and in the love of both." By re-defining marriage, Government would deny this reality, and move our society further in the wrong direction. Re-defining marriage would also form a socially harmful precedent.
If we can change marriage in order to include one particular sexual minority, then why not change it to include any other sexual minority? If the male/female complementarity of marriage can be defined away, then why not the limitation to two people forming the marital union? If the fidelity and commitment of same-sex couples must be formally recognised in the interests of equality, then why not the fidelity and commitment of polygamists, or polyamorists?
If this seems far-fetched, it ought to be pointed out that legal efforts have already been mounted in Canada, the United States and Europe for the legalisation of polygamy, precisely in the wake of the legalisation of same-sex marriage. This is despite the fact that polygamy (as an example) has intrinsic harms to it, due to the inter-partner jealousy it engenders and the effect this has on the welfare of the children brought about in such families.
More reasons may be given against the re-definition of marriage, but the central concern about the effect of re-defining marriage on our culture, and the consequences this would have on the welfare of children and the good of society, is without doubt the most salient. By interfering with social ecology, which is a reflection of our basic human ecology, the Government risks doing profound harm.
To raise these concerns is not to deny equality or human rights, or to be motivated by base prejudice, but to witness to the common good for all people. As Catholics we need not feel cowed by the thought-terminating cliché of "homophobia" which is so often thrown as mud against those opposing marriage's re-definition. As long as our language is moderate, and our tone light, we can communicate the Church's concerns grounded in nature and reason, and win hearts and minds to defeat the Government's proposal.
As always, may our guiding light of example be found in Holy Scripture, in which one of the first letters of the first bishops tells us: "Always be ready to give a defence for the hope that is within you, but do it with gentleness and reverence."

Gary and his Lovely wife Vicki Knutson
I am going to tell the forum members a story about an old friend of mine. He was the engine builder in the day for some teams you may have heard of.
Chaparral, McLaren and Carl Haas racing to name a few who used his engines.
When I was at Mosport Canada this summer for the CanAm Reunion, Wally Willmott said to me that the one person he would love to talk to would be Gary Knutson. We tried to reach him while Wally was at Mosport helping Jay Esterer run his McLaren, and we didn't connect. So I would have to say that Bruce McLaren's original mechanic and first employee of McLaren Racing is the one who I am doing this site for.

Injured Gardner pinch-hits in finale vs. KC
NEW YORK -- The soft wrap on Brett Gardner's right ankle conceals what the Yankees speedster suspects is a somewhat nasty bruise, courtesy of a hit-by-pitch in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Royals.
He didn't know for sure, because he wore it home after the game and hasn't peeled it off yet, but Gardner was happy to know that X-rays were negative and he could return to the Yankees' lineup on Friday against the Twins. He pinch-hit for Derek Jeter in the eighth inning of Thursday's 8-4 win over the Royals and flied out to center.
"I have to get some treatment and get it loosened up," Gardner said. "My legs are a big part of my game, and if I can't run, there's no sense in playing. Hopefully, I'll be able to run."
Gardner was drilled in the sixth inning Wednesday by a J.C. Gutierrez fastball, but the outfielder was more interested in learning that Jeter was reinstated to the Yankees' active roster on Thursday morning.
"Derek's coming back today? That's awesome," Gardner said. "I know it's been a long time coming. Just the other day he wanted to start the season on time and here we are, Game [92]. ... It's great to have him back, not only on the field but off the field. He'll be a big presence, and hopefully, he's in every game the rest of the year."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that if Gardner had been available in the series finale on Thursday, he would have batted Gardner leadoff, with Jeter hitting second and Robinson Cano third. Instead, Ichiro Suzuki claimed the leadoff spot.

There was a bit more than a minute left in a quarterfinal game Thursday at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off when Massachusetts guard Chaz Williams sneaked underneath the goal to rebound an air ball launched by Providence's LaDontae Henton.
Williams, at 5-9, the smallest player on the floor, then made a huge decision: UMass would go 2-for-1.
College basketball fans don't always recognize this term because it's relatively uncommon in their game. Although it is an everyday tool in the NBA, college coaches resist instructing players to try to use the shot clock to squeeze two possessions into the final minute to the opponents' one.
UMass' Derek Kellogg, though, teaches it commonly in practice. His team plays pressure defense and an up-tempo offense, and he believes the 2-for-1 is a natural component of that philosophy.
"If you're going to play our style, you've got to give your players the opportunity to make those plays," Kellogg told Sporting News on Friday. "It's something you have to teach and go over quite a lot in practice. If everybody's on the same page, that's when you have to let the guys play and put the game in their hands.
"We have a good point guard and some mature guys, and they can handle it."
Williams' decision to go 2-for-1 led him to launch a 23-foot jump shot with the score tied at 75 and 54 seconds left in the game. It looked to some like a rushed, forced shot.
Many coaches in that circumstance would have their team run the shot clock down and wind up taking a shot with about 30 seconds left - which, if missed, would have given Providence a chance to set up a buzzer-beater to break the deadlock. Instead, the Friars got possession with 52 seconds left after the rebound became a held ball. They spent 30 seconds looking for a shot and then turned it over.
That meant UMass had 22 seconds left to set up its final shot. Williams missed a layup with seconds remaining, but forward Terrell Vinson squeezed inside the lane for a game-winning tip-in. Had the Minutemen not gone 2-for-1, that play never would have developed.
Kellogg said the foundation for his philosophy on this came from John Calipari, his coach at UMass in the early 1990s and his boss at Memphis a decade later. Kellogg said Calipari used the tactic some with the Minutemen but even more at Memphis after coaching a couple years with the NBA's New Jersey Nets.
Kellogg said UMass will go 2-for-1 if it has the ball in the frontcourt with 50 or 51 seconds left, or if it rebounds at 54 or 55. UMass will try to get a good shot off within six seconds and then expect the opponent to take 30 seconds before the Minutemen regain the ball with sufficient time to set up a last shot.
Wing Jesse Morgan tried it a little outside those guidelines left in Tuesday's game against Harvard, firing a 3-pointer with about 40 seconds on the clock. By the time the ball was rebounded and the shot-clock reset, Harvard didn't have to shoot until the half nearly was over.
"It doesn't always work out great," Kellogg said, "but it's a philosophy and those are things that we do."

Mizzou still buzzing about Dixon departure
Michael Dixon's abrupt departure from the Missouri men's basketball team hasn't quieted the campus conversation about his exit.
The senior guard announced his intent to transfer on Nov. 29 after two sexual assault claims became public. Dixon had been benched all season by No. 12 Missouri (7-1) and coach Frank Haith for unspecified team rule violations. He was not charged in either case.
In an interview with The Associated Press, University of Missouri Board of Curators chairman David Bradley suggested the school may need to take a closer look at its student disciplinary process. Dixon reportedly appeared before a campus student conduct board whose members include students and professors.
"I don't think it would hurt to relook at the process we go through," Bradley said at a curators' meeting in St. Louis. "I'm not saying the process is wrong, but there are a lot of people who had questions about it, and a lot of people who were upset about the Dixon situation."
Absent from the meeting due to illness was Chancellor Brady Deaton, who had Dixon not decided to leave on his own would have been able to veto, uphold or revise the student conduct committee's confidential decision. But university President Tim Wolfe, who oversees the system's four campuses, defended the integrity of the disciplinary process.
"We have a process that involves the student conduct committee that has representatives from the various constituency groups and has been successful in looking into these situations and making decisions," Wolfe said Friday. "That process was used effectively in this particular situation."
Curator Wayne Goode, a former Missouri legislator who will succeed Bradley as the governing board's chairman, said the university had to balance the privacy of both Dixon and his accusers.
"We were advised by our (legal) counsel that we had to be careful with regard to those privacy issues, and I think we were," he said.
With no charges against him, Dixon received a lot of support amid the allegations. After he announced he would transfer, some students remained troubled by the backlash faced by women who allege sexual assault.
"Despite the incredible resources meant to educate on this issue, the sad truth is that there is still a culture of victim blaming that permeates MU and countless other college communities across the nation," student government president Xavier Billingsley wrote Wednesday in an open letter to the campus community titled "For A Safer Mizzou."
"Rape is rape - not only when a sexual advance is forcible, but any time one party says `no,'" Billinsgley continued. "There have been no convictions borne out of the accusations discussed this past week, but to think that any student would want to shut out serious concerns about whether an awful crime was committed for the sake of athletics is incredibly disappointing. This shows that even though we have made great strides in dealing with sexual violence and violation, we still have a long way to go. "
Dixon was suspended for two games in December 2010 for violating unspecified team rules under former Missouri coach Mike Anderson, who is now at Arkansas.
A 25-year-old Missouri graduate and former athletics department employee told the AP that Dixon forcibly had sex with her in January 2010 during his freshman year. The woman reported the alleged assault to campus police and was examined for signs of sexual assault at a hospital, but said she declined to press charges.
The campus police report was publicly leaked to reporters last week, about the same time a second allegation was being aired publicly. In that case, a current female student accused Dixon of sexual assault, disclosing the allegation in a Twitter exchange with a former Missouri player. She also filed a city police report in August, but prosecutors decided on Nov. 16 to not file charges.

In the year since Michael Jackson died, his estate has pulled in more than $1 billion, mainly on the strength of a new record deal with Sony and a hugely successful concert film, according to a report.
Billboard magazine arrived at the figure by crunching numbers and interviewing industry experts. The result is the most profitable year by far for the late artist, who died last June at age 50 after getting a lethal dose of an emergency room-grade anesthetic he used to fight insomnia.
- Some $429 million has flowed into Jacko's estate in the of music sales. About 9 million albums were bought in the U.S., while the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons have sold about 800,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Outside the States, Jackson's album sales for the past year stand at around 24 million units. Billboard estimates those figures generated about $383 million in sales. The rest came from digital downloads, including songs and ringtones, according to the industry magazine.
- Some $392 million came from "Michael Jackson: This Is It," the movie made from footage from rehearsals for the London concerts that never happened. Sony Pictures bought the footage for $60 million, and the movie earned $72 million at the U.S. box office, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. Overseas, the film earned $188 million, including $56 million in Japan alone. DVD sales and rentals brought in nearly $100 million more.
- An estimated $130 million poured in through Jackson's music publishing company, Mijac, which Billboard estimates is worth $150 million. At that value, it generates about $25 million per year in revenue, but that number likely doubled over the last year.
- The Gloved One's estate made another $115 million or so off of revenues from his 50% stake in Sony/ATV Music Publishing and licensing and touring, including tickets sold for the London show and kept as souvenirs.
The people running Jacko's estate have an example to follow, according to John Branca, who serves as special administrator for the estate.
U.S. & World
"To this day, there's interest in Elvis," he said. "And I think there will be enduring interest in Michael. It's our job to continue to expose Michael to new generations."

Prolific blogger Little Augury recently posted about the 1960 Stanley Donen film The Grass Is Greener, starring Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons. Osterley Park, on the western outskirts of London, was used for some of the exterior shots.
Some of the interiors at Osterley, designed by Robert Adam in the 1760s and 1770s, were also used as inspiration for the sets (as was, apparently, the Long Gallery at nearby Syon House, also by Adam).
The story revolves around the Earl and Countess of Rhyall (Grant and Kerr), who have been forced by straightened circumstances to open their stately home to the public. The Countess is flattered by the attentions of an American oil tycoon (Mitchum), and in revenge the Earl invites his former girlfriend, an American heiress (Simmons). Cue a romantic comedy that has over time become a minor classic.
The sets were designed by decorator Felix Harbord. As Little Augury's post shows, they were sometimes amazingly accurate copies of the original spaces at Osterley, while on other occasions he clearly remoulded the rooms to suit the film.
Harbord must have had great fun adding characteristic country house touches, such as groups of miniatures hung next to the fireplace, the 'correct' picture hang with the smaller paintings hung below the larger ones, and a rush firewood basket of a type still (or again) fashionable today.
The cushions on the drawing room sofa seem very 'c. 1960′ to me, but I wonder if, even in that era, the Victoria & Albert Museum (who ran Osterley then) had quite so many barrier-ropes about the place?

Tips on How to Ensure Your Child's School Is Keeping Students Drug Free
Children have the best prospects for leading healthy, drug-free lives when schools support parents in their anti-drug message. There should be nothing confusing or contradictory in what children learn about drugs from the adults in their lives, and school policies need to reflect the same attitude toward alcohol and drugs that you express at home: Drug use is not acceptable. Drugs diminish a child's ability to concentrate and follow through on academic responsibilities, they cause absenteeism and loss of motivation, and students who use them can be disruptive and drain teachers' time and energy.
The best way to ensure that the anti-drug policies at your child's school are strong is to be involved. You can:
Learn about the current policies regarding alcohol and other drugs at your child's school. If there is no anti-drug policy in place, attend parent volunteer or curriculum review meetings, or schedule an interview with the principal to help develop a policy. The policy should specify what constitutes an alcohol, tobacco or other drug offense, spell out the consequences for failing to follow the rules, and describe procedures for handling violations.
Familiarize yourself with drug education in your child's school. Faculty members should be trained to teach about alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. Drug education should be taught in an age-appropriate way at each grade level throughout the year rather than only once during a special week. Drug education may be taught during health class, but all teachers should incorporate anti-drug information into their classes. There should be a parent education component. The school's program should be based on current research. Depending on the drug education conditions at your child's school, you may want to become more involved and inform the school administrators that there is a need for improvements in these areas.
Immerse yourself in the school's drug education program at home. Ask your child to show you any materials distributed during or outside class and take the opportunity to review them together.
Find out if your child's school conducts assessments of its drug problem and whether these results are used in the program.
Ask what happens to those who are caught abusing drugs. Does the school offer a list of referrals for students who need treatment?
Request and examine any existing materials. Do they contain a clear message that alcohol, tobacco and other drug use is wrong and harmful? Is the information accurate and up to date?
Investigate whether your school's drug program is being evaluated for success. Research indicates that some of the most effective programs emphasize the value of life skills such as coping with anxiety, being assertive and feeling comfortable socially. When these lessons are combined with drug education, students confronted with drugs are better equipped to resist them.

High-performing hedge fund manager Jeremy Grantham is known for his doom-and-gloom outlook. But his latest shareholder letter, called "Welcome to Dystopia", updates the merely "terrifying" problems of eurozone financial contagion and U.S. debt with worldwide instability and social collapse.
In his February quarterly letter, Grantham (left) urged investors to "try to contain natural optimism"; in December, he warned the U.S. was falling behind other developed nations, even the U.K. Consistently, he has urged investors to be overweight natural resources.
Though he stands by his resource recommendation, Grantham's current thinking is not quite as cheerful as in the past. This is largely because the new era (beginning 10 years ago) of rising resource prices he started writing about a year ago has been aggravated by what he sees as the start (five years ago) of a full-blown food crisis.
The current spike in corn prices is more worrisome than the previous 2008 food crisis because the poor U.S. crop yield comes despite "very much larger plantings than were available in 2008." What's more, this is the third consecutive year of extremely bad weather, the improbability of which Grantham takes as confirmation of climate change.
Grantham brings the case of Egypt as emblematic of the mathematical inescapability of crisis. The strategically important Middle Eastern country is already staggering under rising food prices that consume more than 40% of its food budget (in contrast to the 10% or 12% of developed-country budgets).
Now, declining crop yields combined with rising demand resulting from global population growth suggest the possibility that grain prices could double in the next 20 years.
While that would be "painful indeed even for rich countries," for a country like Egypt whose population of 84 million is expected to swell to 140 million by 2050, "any material increases in real grain prices from here on are unlikely to be easily manageable," Grantham writes.
The hedge fund manager concludes: "If you realize that several countries are in [Egypt's] position and quite a few are worse off, then you realize how perilously thin the veneer of global stability is."
Grantham believes sufficient efforts to stem a food crisis will not be taken. "This is because the price signals for the rich countries are too weak—they can afford the higher price… Also, the problems of malnutrition in distant countries are not generally felt as high-order priorities in the richer countries."
The 16-page letter goes into far greater detail about natural resource troubles. While food crisis is the biggest theme, Grantham foresees the current availability of water, energy and metals morphing into long-term squeezes that are dire ("metals are the most intractable problem…we will just slowly run out and prices will rise"). The upshot of this resource crisis, particularly food, is a dystopian future of human misery, including "waves of immigration on a scale unknown in modern times, outside of major wars" as well as increased military confrontation. "China, more concerned with future resource security than others, will find it particularly tempting to throw its increasing economic and military weight around," Grantham writes.
The investment implications of all this is that "serious long-term investors should have a very substantial overweighting in a resource package," by which Grantham means at least 30% in natural resources. He adds that "the quality group of equities" is more resilient to margin pressures from higher priced resources.
He recommends that half of that 30% resource package should go to forestry and farms, with the remaining allocation going to "stuff in the ground" (10%) and resource efficiency plays (5%).
Interestingly, Grantham excludes coal and tar sands from his "stuff in the ground" allocation—less because their environmental impact troubles his conscience than that their increasingly apparent environmental damage will curtail their use, he says.
The hedge fund manager concludes with a further unpleasant thought for investors: that rising resource prices, which would bolster his strong resource allocation, will squeeze profits and reduce growth in the rest of the portfolio. He promises to elaborate in his next letter on the "serious implications for longer-term endowment and pension fund returns."

NL DIVISION SERIES: CARDINALS v PADRES
October 7, 2006
Bruce Bochy
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI: Game Three
Q. Bruce, Chris mentioned that in that sixth inning you went out and talked to him. Just talk about the approach going against Albert there. Was there any consideration of walking? Was it up to Chris at that point?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, with the lead we had, no. We weren't going to walk him. More than anything, I just wanted to see where he was at and what he had left.
And he said he was fine. He was all right. I said, "Go get him." He's been throwing well. You know, he was having a great game today. So you know, there's no thought on my side to walk him or take him out if he was feeling fine.
We had a couple guys ready down in the pen and more than anything just wanted to see what he had left in the tank. And he said he was all right.
Q. Bruce, yesterday you said you hadn't had any big hits in this series yet. But do you feel you had the big hits today?
BRUCE BOCHY: Yeah, we did. I mean Branyan got the huge hit there and Blum got the other run in, which was huge. We had a lot of opportunities. We couldn't cash in on a few of them. Hoping that didn't come back to haunt you.
But pitching did a great job. Chris Young, he's pitched great on the road all year. And he came through again today. And the bullpen did a nice job.
But we battled hard. Those guys played hard. And it's great to create those chances. You hope to cash in a little bit more, but their pitching did a good job to keep them in the game.
Q. Boch, just kind of expand on the pitching there about Chris Young, especially after the top of the first, when looked like you had some momentum. They kind of took it back. But for Young to put up zeros, how big that was for the ball club?
BRUCE BOCHY: It was huge. You know, first inning, that's a tough start for us, have a runner on third, nobody out and couldn't get a run in. They ran another great pick-off on us.
But Chris went out there and did what we needed. He put zeros on the board. And he's had a great year for us. And he continued today with the way he threw the ball. That's a tough lineup. And you know, just something about how he's pitched on the road, but also at home.
We have all the confidence in the world in this kid. And it's been a pleasure watching him pitch all year and to watch how he threw today. It's just indicative of how he's pitched all year and kept us in the game.
Q. Boch, your first post-season win against La Russa, the first RBI with a guy in scoring position, does it feel a little bit like you broke the seal a little bit in this game?
BRUCE BOCHY: A little bit. No getting around it. They've had their way with this. We're listening to, "Who is your Padres?" That's not fun to hear. They've been tough on us, '96, last year, and, you know, they're a good ball club. And they have beat a lot of people. But to finally break through, get a win, that's huge for us.
We're in a must-win situation. And we had to win today, and I liked the way the guys hit the field. We played well and, again, created those good situations. And finally got the hit we're looking for.
And it does give you a little sense of relief. You finally win a game against these guys in the playoffs. We played them tough in the season, but they've had their way in the playoffs, and took a well-pitched game. It all starts with our starter Chris Young.
Q. Bruce, today was another example of how much better you guys hit on the road than at home. What do you think was different for your hitters, why were they able to be so much more successful here today?
BRUCE BOCHY: We've talked about this quite a bit. We can't put our finger on exactly what's going on, why we hit better on the road. But the numbers show it. And I see it on a daily basis.
It shows that PETCO is a tougher park to hit in. But I think we're a better hitting club than what we've done there.
Earlier, couple years ago, there was talk about how big the park was, but that's not really in our hitters heads anymore. It's just one of those things that's hard to explain, why we do hit better on the road.
So I wish we could figure this out, because we take it back home with us.
But I will say the last two home stands of the regular season, we did swing the bats better and played much better. So that's very encouraging for us.
Q. Boch, got Pujols out in two key situations today. Did you take a different approach with him today?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, not really. I mean, we were forced into some tough situations where we had to pitch to him. And our pitchers made great pitches. I mean, we know how dangerous he is. Last thing you want to do is get caught to where you're in that situation. But we were.
And tip my cap to our pitchers because they made some quality pitches. And, you know, the guy, he's an incredible hitter. We've seen the damage done against us and the other teams.
But sometimes you're forced to pitch to him, which we were today. And we came out okay today. Hopefully we don't get in that situation too often.
Q. Bruce, in the middle of the Cardinals' order, Albert's Albert, and seems like Jim is coming around a little bit with the bat, but Scott Rolen is still kind of struggling. Do you guys plan to attack him a little bit more as the rest of the series goes on?
BRUCE BOCHY: No, we have so much respect for their lineup. We don't see it really an easy out in their lineup. So that's why I've talked about sometimes we have to pitch to Pujols, because we have respect for their other hitters and it's a good lineup. They're healthy. They've got Edmonds back. It's a different lineup with him in it. And of course their lead-off hitter.
But I'm not going to tell any pitcher to drop your guard, because they're professional hitters and they're good players and we feel the same about our guys.
So, no, there's no plan to attack any one guy.
Q. Bruce, can you talk about your starter for tomorrow? And if in fact it is Woody, can you just talk about the decision not coming back with Peavy?
BRUCE BOCHY: Woody is going to start tomorrow. We talked about it. But we have all -- first of all, we have so much confidence in Woody. I mean, he's pitched some big games for us in the stretch. He's been through it. That's where it really starts. As far as Jake, yeah, he's on normal rest, but, you know, probably as much as having confidence in Woody, we think Jake could use another day. He's pitched a lot of baseball this year.
And he's pitched a lot down the stretch, and we just think we're in a situation where we need to win two games and we're better off giving Jake another day versus pushing him. But really gets back to Woody. We think a lot of Woody Williams and he's done a terrific job for us, and really all of our starters, we have confidence in. So that's why Woody is going tomorrow.
Q. I think in three games now, both the bullpens combined have given up one win to [indecipherable]. Can you talk --
BRUCE BOCHY: Both pens have done a terrific job. We're happy with what we're getting. I'm sure they are, too. They did a great job today of keeping them in the game in their pen. We had some pretty good opportunities. We couldn't cash in. So the pens have come through for both clubs at this point. And you know, we knew coming into this series our pen and their pen, would play a huge part in it. And really has.
They I think have done a great job. I know you know they lost their closer, but their other guys have stepped up and done a good job for them. Two good left-handers and a righty, good matchups from day one and it's made it difficult for us.
Q. Bruce, I guess this will be the third time in 12 days you've seen Carpenter. One of the best, but does it help to see him so frequently?
BRUCE BOCHY: I'd rather not, to be honest. I mean, we know how good he is. I mean, this guy is one of the best pitchers in the game. And so if I had our way, we wouldn't see him three times in two weeks.
But you know, if you're going to go anywhere, you have to compete well against the best. And I think our guys have done a good job. We know what we're facing and how good he is and what a great game he threw the first game. And we're going to go out there and compete tomorrow.
MODERATOR: All right. Thanks a lot, Bruce.

Drought hits Angola
Over 1.8 million people have been affected by severe drought in Angola that's left crops destroyed, water in short supply and food scarce. Prolonged dry spells have severely affected the five southern provinces of Namibe, Cunene, Kuando Kubango, Huila and Benguela.
Caritas Angola took part in an joint assessment trip to four municipalities in Namibe Province in early June, where staff found an estimated 250,000 people affected and 70 percent of crops destroyed. Families' remaining stocks will not last until September. The greatest problem is currently access to water: most of the boreholes were not working and people have started to move in search of water and pasture for their cattle.
School meals have been a great way to complement the nutrition of children as families' access to food decreases. Despite this, children are beginning to drop out of school because of the severity of situation.
Caritas Angola is using the national media to raise funds to help those affected and will look for international help in the coming days. Caritas Angola will hold a solidarity campaign for those affected by the drought on 23 June. The campaign is asking for donations of non-perishable food and drinking water, which will be used in the response to this emergency .
