Fully Flexible Extreme Views
Click to Print This Page
The combination of subjective views within a broadly accepted risk model is one of the main challenges in quantitative portfolio management. Indeed, any risk model, be it based on historical scenarios, parametric fits, or Monte Carlo scenarios generated according to a given distribution, is subject to estimation risk and thus it is inherently flawed. Therefore, it is important to provide a framework that allows practitioners to overlay their judgement to any risk model in a statistically sound way.
To allow for fully general market distributions and for views on general features of such distributions, one can use the "Fully Flexible Views" approach in Meucci (2008), FFV in the sequel. FFV combines an arbitrary market model, which is referred to as the "prior" and fully general views or stress-tests on the underlying market. The output is a distribution, referred to as the "posterior", which incorporates all the inputs and which can be used for risk management and portfolio optimization.
In FFV, the posterior is obtained by warping the prior distribution so that the views are fulfilled, in such a way that the least possible amount of spurious structure is imposed. Specifically, the posterior distribution minimizes the entropy relative to the prior, which is the natural measure of discrepancy between two distributions. As a final step, opinion pooling assigns different confidence levels to different views and users, leading to a mixture of distributions.
FFV is advantageous in that it allows for full flexibility in the specification of the views: indeed, not only views on expectations, but also views on volatility, or on value at risk (VaR), among others, are possible.
FFV can be implemented in three ways: analytical, non-parametric, and parametric. The analytical solution, which only applies to normally distributed markets, and the non-parametric approach are discussed in the original paper Meucci (2008). The parametric approach is studied in Meucci, Ardia, and Keel (2011).
In the non-parametric approach to FFV, the prior distribution of the generic risk factor, say a return, is represented in terms of a set of scenarios and their associated probabilities. This representation presents two drawbacks when processing extreme views on the tails.
First, this representation allows for views of many sorts, including VaR, but cannot accommodate views on the conditional value at risk (CVaR). Second, the scenarios in the original FFV article were generated by standard Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo scenarios are inadequate when expressing extreme views on the tails of the distribution, unless the number of scenarios is unrealistically large.
This article addresses these two issues of the non-parametric approach. In Section 2 we review FFV. In Section 3 we discuss a recursive algorithm to cover views on the CVaR. In Section 4 we replace the Monte Carlo scenarios with a deterministic grid and the respective non-equal probabilities in such a way that extreme views can be processed. In Section 5 we present a case study: we model the distribution of a hedge fund return non-parametrically and we process extreme views on its expectation and its CVaR.

EUGENE, OR --An Oregon woman says she was told to put a shirt over her bikini top while shopping at Wal-Mart or leave the store. Sandy McMillin told The Register-Guard she was shopping at a Eugene Wal-Mart with her sister last weekend when a store employee confronted her and claimed she may be violating health regulations.
An attorney for the 51-year-old McMillin said the experience was embarrassing but he is more concerned about the way McMillin was treated because she is disabled from injuries suffered in motorcycle crashes.
A spokeswoman for the Arkansas-based retail giant said the employee was responding to customer complaints and McMillin was not asked to leave the store.
McMillin says she'll probably still shop at Wal-Mart -- but at a different store.

In an effort to promote change and voter participation within their community, the Black Student Movement on Wednesday took steps toward spreading political awareness.
With the Nov. 3 elections approaching, the political action committee of BSM, presented a "Vote & Vote Smart" program to encourage political participation among a community that they said typically has low voter participation.
The group presented the event in conjunction with the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the group United with the Northside Community Now.
Political action committee co-chair Ellen Louis said she hopes the local black community will feel empowered to vote.
"Our message that we want to get across is that it is important to have a stake in community affairs, and that we can potentially promote change in our underrepresented areas like the Northside community," she said.
Delores Bailey, executive director of EmPOWERment, an agency that promotes empowerment within the black community in Orange County, said students should vote in the election to further the goals of the black community.
"You do not realize how close we are to an extinction of the black community in Chapel Hill and Carrboro," she said. "Voting is truly where our power is."
Presenters at the event discussed the different candidates' political leanings and stances on community issues to help voters become more informed.
But the political action committee did not endorse candidates, opting to allow voters to make their own choices.
"I definitely feel more encouraged to vote because I feel more informed," said junior BSM member Courtney Spain. "I had always seen different signs around campus, and now I feel more empowered to actually vote and do my own research."
The program featured a number of community speakers to highlight the often undervalued importance of local elections.
"All politics are local and you will not know that until it affects you, and you do not want it to affect you," said speaker Kevin Hicks, founding member of Parents and Children Together, an organization aimed to advocate for the children of Chapel Hill.
"You want to affect it."

FORT LAUDERDALE — Caught in the crunch of overcrowded prisons, federal officials are offering the city $700,000 to guarantee them 25 spaces in the municipal jail.
The U.S. Marshal`s Service already leases 10 spaces in the 94-bed jail behind the city`s police headquarters. But more space is needed, said marshal supervisor Andy Carlson.
The federal government`s proposed grant, which must be used by September, could pay for renovations or expansion, officials said.
``Overcrowding is putting the pinch on us,`` Carlson said. ``We`re always at capacity.``
City officials said they haven`t yet decided if they`ll take the money. The federal government wants single cells for its inmates, and the Fort Lauderdale jail currently has only four individual cells.
To make an expansion program worth the cost, the city`s architect has recommended that 48 beds be added to the current 94, and that 50 single cells be created.
State rules require more single cells than the jail currently has. If 50 single cells were built, the proper ratio of single cells and dormitory cells would be achieved.
That would cost $1 million, said police Major George Fitzpatrick.
Before officials can accept the federal grant, the city has to find a way to pay the difference, Fitzpatrick said. Broward County officials, who are trying to cope with overcrowding in the county jail, have been contacted about joining in the expansion.
``It`s a hell of a carrot they`re dangling out there, but we have to make sure it fits in with the city`s needs,`` Fitzpatrick said.
The federal government is also offering to continue paying the current rate of $42 per bed per day for each inmate, said U.S. Marshal inspector Jim Simmons. The agreement would last for 15 years, he said.

Founder and owner of Browz Michele Barclay, says, "Well-groomed eyebrows balance your features and frame your face. It is important that you get your brows measured and shaped by an expert."

Quite awesome!
Well that is unbelievably awesome.
See this? See this right here? This is why there's so much piracy in Canada. We WANT to pursue legitimate channels, but the license holders keep slamming the door in our faces.
Bummer these dont work outside of the US, but still got youtube i guess.
Still, pretty cool for the US fans.
It IS awesome, but I had my hopes up for the remastered versions. (Should've known that was a silly hope.)
The Canada thing blows, though.
What beautiful condition they have these in. Really top notch, especially for website hosted streaming content.
I know how you feel. All I want is to watch new episodes of Holmes on Homes. Will HGTV let me? Nooooooo.

The human body, unlike fish, is not able to generate any form of the fatty acid. Therefore, Omega-3 is considered essential in any diet.
Omega -3 can be divided into distinct components: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). ALA is found in plants and converted into DHA and EPA in the body, meaning tuna contain only DHA and EPA.
The consumption of Omega-3 is known to have beneficial effects on the body. Research has found that Omega-3
Apart from the proven effects of Omega-3, there are many subjects that have been investigated, but results have been found inconclusive, due to expert's contradicting conclusions. Among others, a large amount of research is conducted on:
There are also effects of Omega-3 that are only seen in big tuna eaters, linking some evidence mainly to DHA and EPA, but also to other tuna characteristics. In people who regularly eat tuna, research found:
Notable is the amount of researchers suggesting we should stop thinking about Omega-3 as either good or bad and no gray area, implying Omega-3 is essential, but no magic cure.
Nevertheless, there is a big market promoting the positive influences of the fatty acids and consumers are aware of the importance of Omega-3 in their diet. Tuna oil is often used as a source and is made of the head of the fish and therefore often shorter in supply. The specific chemical composition of the form of EPA and DHA present in tuna oil differs from other oils and are said to be digested more easily, which is why the effects are significantly more positive.
The long chain omega-3 content in canned tuna does vary because of the following reasons:
Prices of fish oil/Omega-3 supplements have gone up by 15% in 2012, reaching an all time high. The market was estimated at about USD 19 billion in 2011.

What amounts to a moratorium in recent years by states and cities on the movement of nuclear waste along the nation's highways and railroads is about to end.
Largely as a result of recent court rulings, more than 1,000 shipments of spent nuclear fuel rods going to or through 11 states - many of them here in the Midwest - are expected to start by the end of this week. They are slated to continue over the next year and a half.
Though the plans and some of the routes have only recently been made public - in accord with recent federal law - rising concern on the part of elected officials over the choice of routes and the adequacy of safety measures in the event of a mishap may yet force a delay or reconsideration of the moves.
A federal court order issued last month called for the prompt return to utilities in five states of spent rods stored at a nuclear power plant in West Valley, N.Y. They had been sent there for reprocessing - extraction of usable plutonium and uranium - which was never completed because of President Carter's ban on commercial nuclear reprocessing.
Similarly in May the US Supreme Court overturned as unconstitutional a three-year-old Illinois ban on the shipment of nuclear waste from any state that didn't grant Illinois reciprocal privileges. That ruling opens the door to railroad shipments of more than 200 tons of spent nuclear fuel rods from a Nebraska utility to a General Electric nuclear storage facility in Morris, Ill.
More than 200 jurisdictions, including 26 Cleveland suburbs - have restrictive laws of some kind on the movement of nuclear waste through their territory. Fred Millar, director of the nuclear and hazardous materials transportation project of the Environmental Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. , notes that many of these have effectively blocked nuclear waste shipments in the United States over the last few years. He says he expects that more will be added to the list in the next few months and that some states will suggest alternate routes.
About one-fourth of the some 1,000 shipments will be going to the Wisconsin Electric Power Company's Point Beach nuclear plant in Two Rivers, Wis. Routes already approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would send the shipments north (in the post-midnight hours) on Interstate 94, which runs through downtown Milwaukee. An emergency-problems committee of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors held hearings a few days ago to consider an alternate route and the adequacy of emergency procedures. Some of the shipments involve spent fuel rods previously sent to the Morris plant which are being returned for economic reasons.
''We have a responsibility to assure people that all possible safety precautions have been taken - and I'm still uncomfortable about the whole situation,'' says Penny Podell, the county board member who suggested the route change.
Wisconsin Gov. Anthony Earl has said he will not block trucking of the spent nuclear fuel rods, since the waste originated at the Point Beach site. But state Sen. Joseph Strohl, chairman of the Energy Committee, says he thinks the shipments should at least be delayed while safety questions are considered. He also suggests that the waste could be moved in greater quantity and meet less traffic if shipped by barge from sites in both Illinois and New York.
A Wisconsin Senate committee held hearings in Milwaukee this week; an Illinois legislative hearing is scheduled for next week.
''I'd really like to stop the whole thing,'' admits Illinois state Sen. Jerome Joyce, chairman of the Illinois Senate Agriculture, Conservation, and Energy Committee, which will hold the hearing. ''Suddenly there's movement of nuclear waste all over the place in midsummer when no legislature is in session. It's like a giant shell game.''
What particularly troubles Senator Joyce and many other elected officials is the fact that the moves amount to nuclear waste reshuffling among temporary storage sites. The first underground permanent storage site is not expected to be ready until close to the year 2000. Some environmentalists such as Dr. Millar say the waste could be safely kept until then in dry storage at present sites. ''We just need to educate judges on the new technology available,'' Millar insists. Ultimately, he hopes that on-site storage solutions can be negotiated.
Still, there are many who say the current fuss over the nuclear waste shipments is much ado about nothing. NRC spokesman Russ Marbito notes that the cask design has been thoroughly tested for strength and fire resistance and that there have been no measurable radioactive emissions in 30 years of use. The NRC's preferred routes include interstates whenever possible, in order to speed the trip, along with armed escorts. Although the timing is secret for security reasons, governors are notified seven days in advance.
''I have no concerns at all because I've seen how spent rods are sealed into those containers - I'd be rather be hit by one of those than a (gasoline) tanker , which is a torch waiting to be lit,'' adds Illinois state Sen. John Maitland, who serves on a newly appointed state task force on hazardous materials.

MSI GTX 650 Power Edition OC Review
Temperature testing will be accomplished by loading the video card to 100% using Unigine's Heaven Benchmark Version 3.0, with Sapphire's TriXX overclocking utility for temperature monitoring. I will be using a resolution of 1920 x 1080 using 8x AA and a five-run sequence to run the test, ensuring that the maximum thermal threshold is reached. The fan speed will be left in the control of the driver package and video card's BIOS for the stock load test, with the fan moved to 100% to see the best possible cooling scenario for the overclocked load test. The idle test will involve a 20-minute cool-down, with the fan speeds left on automatic in the stock speed testing and bumped up to 100% when running overclocked.
- Monitoring with Sapphire TriXX
- Unigine Heaven 3.0 1920 x 1080 8x AA
- 5-run sequence
- 20-minute idle duration
- Temperature measured in degrees Celsius
The MSI GTX 650 PE OC is able to achieve the second best temperatures in all four categories here! The heat sink only has a single heat pipe but has a much smaller die size whereas the ASUS has a much large die size with three heat pipes for starts. Load temperatures remained under 50 °C even with the fans running on automatic, great results!

The brilliant planet Venus and the fainter planet Mercury shine above the crescent Moon in this photograph from the Paranal Observatory in Chile. Although sunlight illuminates only a fraction of the lunar disk, the rest is illuminated by earthshine, which is sunlight reflected from our own planet. Mercury will stand close to the right of the Moon not long after sunset on May 30. Venus, however, is in the dawn sky. [ESO /B. Tafreshi]
You are here
Moon and Mercury
The skywatching weekend gets off to a ghostly start this evening with an encounter between the Moon and the planet Mercury. The Moon looks like a pale version of its full glory. And Mercury is as elusive as a ghost — a planet that's rarely seen.
The Moon is just moving up and away from the Sun after passing between Earth and the Sun on Wednesday. Because of our viewing angle, sunlight will illuminate only about five percent of the lunar hemisphere that faces our way this evening. It's nighttime across the rest of the lunar disk.
Yet we can see the entire disk thanks to earthshine — sunlight reflected off of Earth. In fact, as seen from the Moon, Earth is almost full right now. And because Earth is much bigger and brighter than the Moon, it casts a lot of light into space — making the lunar nightside glow like a celestial phantom.
Mercury earns its phantom-like reputation for its location — it's the closest planet to the Sun. So from our more-distant orbit, Mercury never moves far from the Sun. At best, it's visible for a little while after sunset or before sunrise — and even then it's quite low in the sky, so it's easy to miss. It's easiest to spot when it's close to some other bright object — like the Moon.
Look for Mercury close to the right of the Moon beginning about 20 or 30 minutes after sunset. They drop from sight quickly, so there's not much time to pursue these ghostly apparations in the evening sky.

California law allows for an "apportionment of fault" which means the pedestrian may only be partly at fault and the motorist is also partly at fault. There are laws that govern pedestrian accidents that occur outside of a crosswalk. Of course, if you were crossing a street without the help of signals or a crosswalk, an insurance provider may attempt to discredit your claims. However, this does not negate the duty of the motorist to react or control his or her car reasonably. An experienced California pedestrian injury attorney should be immediately consulted to figure out what type of liability exposure, if any, you may have.

The fight between trees and the expanding Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has reached Round 3.
A crew working for the airport expansion office read a map wrong and mistakenly uprooted 62 rare palms from Dania Farms Nursery. Called Phoenix Reclinatas, the multi-trunked tree is between 10 and 20 feet high, unwieldy and expensive to move and replant.
So expensive, in fact, that landscaping and purchasing officials Tuesday will ask the County Commission for permission to buy the uprooted trees from the nursery for $16,425, or $265 a tree.
``It was a mistake, but it was not one that has bothered me that much,`` said Allan Morton, an assistant director in the airport expansion office. Morton, who oversees landscaping, said the county was planning to buy more Phoenix Reclinatas eventually, anyway.
``We had already incurred the cost of digging them and moving them, and the nursery agreed to give us a big discount,`` he said. ``It`s a high-cost, South Florida tree.``
Round one was just 16 months ago, when a debate raged among county officials on the merits of planting trees and shrubs in the new airport facilities rather than buying artwork. Mooney wanted to skirt a Broward County ordinance requiring at least 1 percent of the money spent on major public projects to go for artwork. The debate remains unresolved.
Round two came when officials had to decide what to do with 6,000 trees uprooted from East Marsh Nursery, which stood in the path of the expansion right of way. Many were given to cities free of charge.
The 62 palms were removed in December by Recio & Associates but the mistake was not discovered until Jan. 2 -- after most of them had already been replanted along Federal Highway in front of the airport.

Rock Band was easily one of our favorite games on display at this year's E3 - after all, it did take home our awards for Best Music Game, Best Multiplayer Experience and Best Hardware/Peripheral for the drum kit. There was nary a moment of down time when we wouldn't take the opportunity to head to EA's booth for one more chance to rock out. If only the other attendees would have played something other than "Say It Ain't So"...
While what we played was fantastic fun and answered a number of our questions, it also raised a lot more. How hard will the drums get? What about volume levels for all the instruments? And perhaps most importantly, will Peter Moore still pause the game a billion times in the final version?
To find out the answers to these questions (and whether or not The Monkees will be included), we tapped into the knowledge of Greg LoPiccolo, vice president of product development at Harmonix. Here's what he had to say:
IGN: Rock Band was a blast with four players, but do you think it will be as enjoyable for just a solo drummer or vocalist?
Greg LoPiccolo: I can testify from personal experience that Solo Drums are totally addictive; I think they easily rival the guitar sim experience. For vocals, it depends on whether or not you are into singing. I think that they work best in a multiplayer setting, but there are likely to be Solo players who like singing and choose to focus primarily on the vocal. We also expect skilled singers to be in demand online as potential bandmates.
IGN: On the vocal tip, can you adjust the balance between the singer's voice and the master track vocals? We would love to have cranked up the master track at E3. Some of those folks... yipes!
LoPiccolo: Yes, you have independent control over the singer's voice and the master vocal.
IGN: We played cowbell on Don't Fear the Reaper (thanks for adding that!). Will it be common for tambourines and the like to be "playable" on the mic?
LoPiccolo: Yes, we have tambourine or cowbell tracks authored into the vocal parts for most songs.
IGN: Will the mic come with a stand?
LoPiccolo: The mic will not initially ship with a stand, but we are considering a version with a stand.
IGN: It seems that you could truly learn to play the drums with Rock Band. How difficult does it get when you reach expert level? Will it challenge a professional drummer?
LoPiccolo: The most difficult drum songs on Expert will challenge all but the best drummers, because some of the drummers that created the original parts (Keith Moon from The Who, Neil Peart from Rush, and others) are really amazing drummers, and we preserve the basics of all those drum parts in the Rock Band drum authoring.

Parallel evolution of the venom of snakes and integrin
Structural Proteomics Group, Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia (CSIC) develops several years studies on the evolution and functional characteristics of different proteins from the venom of snakes, from the Mediterranean region. These proteins selectively block the function of cell surface receptors of the integrin family.
Becoming available and genomic libraries of tissues and many different agencies. In this case, researchers in Valencia have been cloned and sequenced cDNA fragments of the venom-producing gland in Cerastes Viper and short disintegrins encoding and subunits of dimeric disintegrins. From the analysis of messenger RNA conclude that these molecules could be distributed over a larger number of tissue than initially believed. Furthermore, sequence comparison suggests a common ancestor for short disintegrins for dimeric disintegrins precursor chains.
The most interesting part of the study is that for the first time, shows the parallel evolution of the blocking sequence of the disintegrins from the venom of snakes and integrin alpha chains, which are cellular receptors. Also presented are specific patterns of evolutionary adaptation of the antagonists of snake venom ligand regions of the integrin receptor.
These studies are also directly related to the laboratory can produce potent inhibitors of angiogenesis, which could be used in the design of new ant tumor drugs directed against surface receptors of cancer cells.Published on December 26, 2012 · Filed under: Bioscience; Tagged as: Biomedicine, Institute, integrin, snakes, Structural Proteomics Group, venom

350 Maine is a grassroots movement dedicated to solving the planetary climate crisis. We grow our power collectively to find real and lasting solutions, to end our dependence on fossil fuels, and to build a healthy, sustainable life for people and the planet.
Our Vision
We see fossil fuel addiction as one reason that climate change denial is so widespread despite a clear scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-caused. We acknowledge that corporate greed and dwindling fossil fuel reserves drive the pursuit of extreme forms of extraction, causing ever greater threats to people and ecosystems.
We see a need to create policies that drastically reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and that put the rights of people and the planet before profit. We acknowledge the rights of nature and of ecosystems to exist independent of their value as a human resource.
We believe that real solutions to climate change are ones that build power for people, and that curb the power of corporations.
350 Maine celebrates courageous and playful strategies to inform Mainers and move us toward a future that is fossil-fuel free. We bring passion and respect to our struggle, acknowledging that we must start within ourselves, confronting our fears and caring for ourselves and others en route to realizing our vision.
Our vision for Maine's future includes:
- A grassroots movement of Mainers to end fossil fuel dependence
- Social and environmental justice as the driving force in creation of policy in our state
- Total divestment of all state monies in fossil fuels
- Safe foods and products for the people of Maine
- Energy-efficient homes and buildings for all Mainers
- A decentralized renewable energy system that is guided by people and not profit margins
- A just and sustainable public transportation system that works for all of Maine
- A Maine that is fossil-fuel free by 2025
350 Maine believes that Maine holds a unique position in this global movement as a gateway to coastal waters and foreign markets. We are in the path of many corporate plans to profit from extreme extraction. Maine also has abundant fresh water, and the largest contiguous forest east of the Mississippi River–ecosystems that must be protected.
We recognize the urgency of transitioning off fossil fuels, but we also recognize that this will be a protracted struggle. We are building a movement with a long term vision for the future. We know that we must remain flexible and adaptive—open to change—if we are to succeed.

You fellow old hippies out there know this one…........
I was dabbling in Purpleheart wood over the holidays and decided to make my wife a frame. She is a bit of a color purple fanatic. I ran across this web site while looking for Christmas ideas. This vendor has a tremendous selection of unique signs she makes and a reasonable cost of 18 bucks. You can pick the color and sign you want and she will make it and send it quickly. With over 3700 sales she must be popular.

EDITOR&rsquoS LETTER
On the Troubling Undiscovered Shores of Inspiration&hellip
In our world where there is almost no place left that isn&rsquot under the rule of technology, it is quite difficult to continue our humanitarian faculties in the &ldquoold school&rdquo manner. Our communication habits, life standards and demands on life, which have changed completely, have carried us into a whole new era as humanity.
And of course on the other hand the weapons that have been made more powerful technologically, millions that are being killed in order to survive, the global invisibility of being a refugee, a process of transformation that is harsher than ever before and the retrogressive exhibitionism and luxury fetishism of the social media&hellip It is really very difficult to live in this rare climate created by contrasts. But the thing we call inspiration actually feeds off of this very thing.
The world of fashion, which continues to carry out the mission of carrying the ever changing pulse of life to the podium, has not been afraid to spread the filth of the dark world agenda to clothing for a long time. Flawless testimonies of courageous attempts and striking podium shows accompanied by technology&hellip Balenciaga, Prada and Dior fashion shows that make it as far as your living room and the democratization of fashion. The reinterpreting of elegance and inaccessibility. These are the signs of a new era in terms of fashion.
Ümit Ünal and the Climber Design Team, who set out with the theme of ?Hearing Colors&rdquo, experiences a great deal of words, images and sounds that will also get inspiration in this season. While bringing to existence what has not been said, the challenging weeks of work were left behind with ambition. We as the Fashion XY crew searched for ways to prepare a whole new edition with the glory to represent the new season. And now our most recent edition is in your possession. In front of your own eyes.
We invite you yet again to come and discover what is going on in the world of Climber B.C. and what extremes men&rsquos fashion is exploring in the new season. Of course we provide you with a wealth of information you&rsquoll want to have at your finger tips throughout the season&hellip

Group Size Limit Approximately 16 Travelers
A very important feature of our polar bear expeditions is the limited group size. Nature is always best experienced in smaller groups and it is particularly important on this expedition so that our guests have plenty of room on board the tundra vehicles.
R/T flight from Winnipeg to Churchill, accommodations, all meals, cold-weather gear including a parka and boots during your trip, services of NHA's professional Expedition Leaders and assistants, some gratuities, all activities/entrance fees, evening wildlife and cultural presentations, all taxes and service charges.
Not Included
Travel to and from Winnipeg, alcoholic beverages, some gratuities, travel insurance, items of a personal nature (telephone calls, laundry, etc.).
Physical Requirements: Easy
A polar bear expedition with Natural Habitat Adventures requires very little walking. Travelers must be able to walk up/down stairs. Our Polar Rover vehicles, designed to travel over the tundra for polar bear observation, can sometimes offer a bumpy ride. Travelers must be prepared for below-freezing temperatures and slippery surfaces.
Important Information About This Trip
This flagship polar bear expedition has been our most popular adventure for over 20 years. Its longstanding success is due to the extraordinary polar bear viewing opportunities afforded our guests as well as the broad introduction to life in the North over the course of a six- or seven-day adventure. Two Polar Rover day trips and a night trip are complemented by time spent exploring this subarctic outpost, all in the company of our professional and experienced Expedition Leaders. Regarding polar bears in general: Polar bears are typically in the Churchill area all year round. The highest concentration occurs in Oct. and Nov. Sometimes the best viewing is in the beginning of the season, sometimes the middle and sometimes the end - we never know for sure. The bears are waiting for Hudson Bay to freeze, and when it does, many of them depart. Historically, this has been in early December, but an unusually early cold spell may occur, hastening their departure. Check out more details on the ebbs and flows of the Churchill polar bear viewing season.
Getting There & Getting Home
In case of flight or weather delays, we recommend that you arrive a day early and either participate in our Extra Day in Winnipeg program or stay on your own. Our small group tour begins with a 7 pm welcome dinner on Day 1. You are free to depart at any time on the final day.


text: A good friend of ours, whom we feel very fortune to have around and has done a great job of enhancing our lives, is celebrating a birthday this week. Who's this friend, you ask? The Internet! Thirty-five years ago this week, computer scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) used a 15' cable to link two computers. The link, which occurred September 2, 1969, tested a new way to exchange data between computers and ultimately played a pivotal role in the development of the Internet. Other development throughout the 1970s expanded the network, added electronic mail and TCP/IP, the core networking communication protocol used on the Internet. The 1980s saw the birth of the domain name system and in 1990, the World Wide Web was born. Although it plays a key role in the lives of many, the Internet's appeal and reach is still very much in its infancy. Scientists, businesses, and regular people are working every day at expanding and improving the power of the Internet. Happy Birthday to the Internet! We look forward to many more great years

BT cuffed for broadband ad fib
Naughty. Don't do it again
The Advertising watchdog has mauled BT for a misleading broadband ad.
The monster telco claimed that its domestic broadband service was 40 times faster than a traditional dial-up service.
This was disputed by Telewest which claimed BT's domestic broadband service was only ten times faster than bog standard Net access.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) agreed adding that BT's faster services - up to 2 Mbps - were geared at business users and not home users.
In a statement, Telewest said BT had been "caught speeding" with advertising about a domestic Internet service claiming to be 40 times faster than dial-up access when, in reality, it is only up to ten times quicker.
Said David Hobday, S&M director at Telewest Broadband: "BT's been caught trying to pull a fast one. Consumers are having a hard enough time getting their heads round broadband, without BT getting its sums wrong."
Two other complaints - including one brought by the pressure group Broadband4Britain - concerning broadband coverage in the UK were thrown out by the ASA. ®

I was at Lowe's over lunch and saw them putting a new Porter Cable planer and jointer on the shelves where the old Delta's used to be. Does anyone know about this? They look very similar to the Delta models JT160 and TP305 they replaced and their model #'s are very similar. I'm wondering if they are they same thing with a different name and box or if any improvements have been made. Please chime in if you know anything about this. I don't yet have a jointer and planer in my growing basement man cave and thought these might foot the bill.

How To Start A Home-Based Business
Do you want to be your own boss? You might be surprised to know that it is not as difficult as you think. Establishing a home-based business isn't easy but it isn't impossible to do. Here are a few tips on starting a business for aspiring home-based entrepreneurs:
1. Identify your business idea and do some market research.
This is the first step in starting a home-based business. You need to find out what product or service you would like to offer. Look around you. What kind of problems are not being solved by your competitors? What are the common things that trip you up on a day-to-day basis? Find out what they are. Find out if someone else is doing it. And if no one isn't, find out the reasons why. Finally, make sure that this home-based idea of yours is going to make money!
2. List down the tasks you need to do.
The things you need to do? This is otherwise known as a business plan. A home-based business is a lot of work. Just because you're at home doesn't mean that you can lounge around all day. At the start of this one-man enterprise, you have to do at least the basics of accounting, sales, marketing and secretarial tasks on a daily basis. If you can't do this, considering hiring someone to do some of the tasks for you. If there is just too much to do and you can't afford to hire someone, try establishing joint ventures with people. If you can't afford to pay them in cash, maybe they'll accept payment in kind or having a stake in the company.
3. Make sure you have sufficient capital.
Despite the fact that home-based businesses have lower overhead costs, you still pay your electricity bills on a monthly basis . If this is going to be your sole source of income, make sure you have enough to pay the bills until you become profitable. Obviously, you're not going to be a millionaire overnight. If you don't have sufficient capital, consider doing your business part-time so you can keep your day job and have a stable source of income.
4. Find a working area at home.
The informality of a home-based business may be a luxury but you also don't want your kids messing up your desk or scribbling crayon doodles on important documents. Make sure that your home office is a quiet area and that you don't get disturbed. Discuss your need for privacy with your family to avoid conflict and misunderstanding. Enlist their support.
5. Do a lot of guerilla marketing.
You need to have a good working knowledge of small business marketing concepts. Remember that your resources are somewhat limited and you don't want to bite off more than you can chew. The first step is to invest in a website as this will become your virtual calling card. After which, find out where your market is congregating and advertise. Read a lot on small business marketing to find out how to fine-tune the steps I presented above. Don't worry, there are a lot of websites that discuss this online.
Good luck in starting your own home-based business!

Our holdings include hundreds of glass and film negatives/transparencies that we've scanned ourselves; in addition, many other photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs) in the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) They are adjusted, restored and reworked by your webmaster in accordance with his aesthetic sensibilities before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Vintage photos of:
March 1943. "Santa Fe R.R. yards and shops, Argentine, Kansas." 4x5 Kodachrome by Jack Delano for the Office of War Information. View full size.
I looked up the other Delano photos of Argentine yard and I started to wonder how he got the angle for this shot. After a bit of Google Earthing, I think he was probably standing on top of the grain elevator seen here. (The elevator won't show up on Google Maps, but if you look at the early-90s image on Google Earth, it was still there.)
Delano lowered the lens center considerably, to get lots more of the interesting foreground and place the horizon high on the print, while keeping the camera level.
Try that with a standard lens on your digital cam!
Argentine Yard is still in Kansas City, Kansas. Today it is part of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe and is the biggest yard in their system.
View Larger Map
I am pretty sure this view is looking mostly east; the elevated roadway crossing the tracks at the upper right is probably 42nd Street. The oil tanks visible at the upper left are still there as part of the Sinclair pipeline terminal; its modern address is 3401 Fairbanks Avenue. The hills at the upper right are on the south bank of the Kaw River. It's kind of hard to see, but the river crosses from left to right near the top of the photo; there is a truss bridge just about visible among the smokestacks, which I think is 18th Street.
Today, the elevated portion of 42nd Street extends further north (to the left in this picture) and only "comes down" to connect with K-32/Kansas Avenue. The house on the west side of 42nd Street here, and all the plowed fields between the tracks, are no more; all of this belongs to BNSF and has various tracks and buildings on it. None of the smokestacks visible between the oil tanks and the railroad yard seem to have survived. The large warehouse on the east side of 42nd Street at the right of the picture is gone; there is a lot full of shipping containers where it was.
The modern BNSF offices (4515 Kansas Avenue) would be just out of shot to the left of the picture. I-635 runs parallel to 42nd street on the west side; it crosses over the yard about where the railroad light tower is on the upper right of this picture.
Eight years after this photo, a lot of this would be underwater; this link has photos from the 1951 flood.
