-2.729232 | 5.638308 | 81 | Active vs Passive Investing – Are There Times When Actively
Managed Funds Can Actually Be A Good Thing? active vs passive
investingAt the beginning of every year I have a little routine.
I take the time to grab a cup of coffee, sit down in front of
Vanguard’s website, and review all our current and potential
investments. Exciting? I know … But it has to be done. What
is it I’m looking for exactly? Obviously the opportunity to
make more money! More specifically I’m combing through the
performance figures and seeing what’s out there. But wait!
Aren’t I just wasting my time? I thought all the “smart”
investors just buy a simple index fund that follows the S&P
500? That’s the big secret behind active vs passive investing,
right? Set it and forget it! Couldn’t I just do that instead?
Well, I could … … but is that really the smartest thing to do?
What Are Active Funds Trying to Do? Actively managed mutual
funds are not always quite the villainous used car salesmen that
people make them out to be. |

the Grub BootLoader. (A Boot Loader is a program that the BIOS
looks for when the computer turns on, it is always located in
the first 446 bytes of the hard drive). Grub then makes the
filesystems of Ubuntu, OpenSuse, and Windows 7 available and

Inspired by their unique Samurai armor, Sido created underpants

Såtvedt, a pilot for Coastal Helicopters, ran into some trouble
during a flight Tuesday afternoon. He was struggling with engine
failure, low fuel, and extremely rough conditions, and couldn't
hold the machine steady enough to land. "Oooh ... oh, he's done

Every year, we toss our Christmas decorations in boxes
haphazardly, and every year we curse ourselves when it's time to
take them out. This year, take a bit more time to pack up those
decorations and make sure they're neat. If you're still using
old cardboard boxes that are barely hanging on, invest in a few
plastic containers and stick some labels on them so you know
what's what. If you don't have sticky labels, that's fine—you
can just as easily stick a piece of paper in the clear
tupperware container for easy viewing. When it comes to packing
up your lights, wrap them up in a way that won't get them

is seemingly impossible for sportswriters and Golden State
Warriors fans to separate Marreese Speights from Carl Landry.
After Landry—last season's backup power forward—opted out of the
final year of his contract and signed a four-year, $26 million
deal with the Sacramento Kings, Golden State quickly filled the
hole by signing Speights to a three-year, $11 million contract.
The comparisons do not end there, of course. Both Landry and
Speights are strong rebounders and gifted offensive players who
leave something to be desired on the other end. Both players
have been starters but are largely known as high-end reserves,
and Speights is expected by many to replace Landry's energy,
production and overall value. Truth be told, this is a
superficial assessment. |

court duties after being charged with two counts of assault.
Judge Donald Bird has not sat in court since Dec. 4, 2008.
That's when Chief Judge of Provincial Court Carol Snell learned
Bird was the subject of a criminal investigation, Snell said in
a news release. She didn't say who Bird is accused of
assaulting. Bird has also been charged with two counts of
making threats. He's been "unassigned," meaning he's not
sitting in court or hearing cases. The charges are in
connection with incidents that allegedly happened last May in
Meadow Lake, where Bird was presiding. Bird was appointed to
the bench in May 2006. He is a member of the Montreal Lake Cree

on Feb. 5. In addition to the criminal proceeding, the

things that could possibly make a bad, really bad film. Having

to watch "Onbathula Guru", provided it's running. If not, save
yourself the torture. As you watch the film, you would be
surprised to find that everything you have put down on the piece

your back because it's the sheer carelessness of the director
that you could score a centum in this exercise. If you plan on
making a documentary on how not to make a film, then I suggest
you use this film as an example. The film opens with a scene

potential problems. And one of the things that people overlook
is the possibility of a flood. In fact, a lot of people, until
they experience it, have no idea that your homeowners policy
does not cover you for a flood. We live in an area by a creek
and it's considered an extremely low risk area for a flood. But
we buy flood insurance. You buy it from floodsmart.gov. and,
here's the thing, if you're in an area that has a very high
flood risk, your lender is going to require that you buy flood
insurance. If you are deemed at an area at low risk or no risk
at all you probably aren't going to be required to, but you
should consider buying it. How much is it going to cost you?
You know it could cost you only a couple hundred dollars a year

had been torturing her sleep. Relief washed through her body and
then she released a heavy breath. She looked over at the body
laying next to her and suddenly her memory returned to her. Her
nightmares had only supplemented the horrid experience she had
just gone through with her wife. The only reason why she was
still in the bed at all was because Miranda had shown her an act
of kindness. But now as she sat awake, Andy wondered if Miranda
was in actuality meting out a bit of revenge. It was unsettling
to wake up in the bed she shared with her wife, her wife asleep
beside her in a house they had together made a home in such an
act of normality when normal had been taken away. There would be
no more normal. Andy had made sure of that when she confessed
her infidelity to Miranda. A part of Andy believed that Miranda
could have forgiven her. Infidelity wasn't what had shattered
their life. The shattering had come when Andy had insisted on

0.988405 | 10.053847 | 22 | LL(*) faster than LL(1)? No jumps When I began to work on
EasyExtend in 2006 I grabbed a Python parser from the web,
written by Jonathan Riehl ( it doesn’t seem to be available
anymore ). It was a pure Python parser following closely the
example of CPython’s pgen. The implementation was very dense and
the generated parser probably as fast as a Python parser could
be. It was restricted to LL(1) though which was a severe
limitation when I stepped deeper into the framework. In mid
2007 I created a parse tree checker. The problem was that a
parse tree could be the return value of a transformation of
another parse tree: T : P -> P. How do we know that P is still
compliant with a given syntax? This can be easily be solved by
chasing NFAs of the target grammar, both horizontally i.e.
within an NFA as well as vertically: calling checkers
recursively for each parse tree node which belong to a non-
terminal. This checker generator was only a tiny step apart from
a parser generator which I started to work on in summer |

speak and write with remarkably different aims. We sometimes
try to get clear on the facts, so we can reach agreement on how

the same for listeners: language lets us learn the answers to

to explain how language accommodates these two very different

Perhaps I was compensating for my otherwise rudderless

terrorizing some poor woman on a school bus. It was a pretty

video wondered if we should just pull the plug on this whole

was a happy ending of sorts to this story, with donation links

This will depend a bit on exactly what is in the files. They may
be just audio, but they may have midi bits and pieces in there
as well. In your .band file, you should have a media subfolder,
and the audio tracks should be in there (as .aiff files if I
recall). Any audio app should let you import them and let you
save as wav, mp3 or whatever. I'd use Audacity - full featured,
free, multi platform... If you have non-audio pieces in there,
like midi data etc., your only option is to find a Mac and run
Garageband on it - then you can export in whatever format you

-2.731347 | 0.622254 | 83 | Should We Outlaw Weapons of Mass Deception? Whether used as
their denotation (dictionary definition) or connotation
(cultural coloration), words are supposed to be tools for
precise communication. This requires agreement between speaker
and listener on what the words mean. Go means go, stop means
stop, and reform means change for the better. Our so-called
representatives in Congress use words and phrases for effect
rather than for accuracy. Their words are weapons of mass
deception (WMDc) and should be outlawed. When they say
“health,” they mean the opposite: sickness. Our current system
does not measure, does not encourage, and therefore does not pay
for wellness. Two entities benefit when people stay healthy: us
as individuals and our nation, which should handle health care
like what it should be: a wise long-term investment in
infrastructure maintenance. The “care” in politicians’ health
care is actually health insurance. In a rare moment of candor,

0.842534 | 6.520256 | 68 | Studio Devil Virtual Tube Preamp Preamp plugin and 'audio glue'
Virtual Tube Preamp is a plugin (VST/AU/ RTAS) that mimics the
tonal and dynamic nuances of the classic 12AX7A vacuum tube
(invented by RCA), which has been the central component in most
of the great analogue tube preamplifier stages since the 50s.
"Studio Devil's VTP enables you to virtually adjust the tuning
of the components" To date, Studio Devil hasn't exactly made
itself known for its subtlety. Its flagship Amp Modeller Pro
guitar amp sim is capable of shredding your face off at 50
paces, so this polite new addition to its lineup of processing
plugins comes as something of a surprise, and its mild-mannered
nature actually takes a bit of getting used to. The way in
which the tube interacts with the other components is what gives
different preamps their own characteristic tones, and some found
more favour than others. Studio Devil's VTP enables you to do
what you couldn't have done back in the good old days with the
'real' version, and t |
-1.342995 | 5.50753 | -1 | Your salespeople are your representatives in the marketplace.
It's a smart idea to develop some rules for choosing people who
will represent you well Suppose everyone looks for shortcuts in
business. It's only natural, especially when you're starting
out. You constantly search for easier ways to make your company
grow faster, and sometimes you find them. Unfortunately, they
almost always come back to haunt you. That's a thought worth
bearing in mind when you're hiring salespeople. I figure I've
hired more than 300 salespeople in the past 30 years--and made
just about every mistake in the book. What I've learned is that,
for me at least, there are no shortcuts. It takes time to find
the right people, time to train them, time to get them
acclimated to our culture. Sure, I used to think I could
accelerate the process. All I had to do was hire hotshots who
could start producing as soon as they walked through the door.
But every time I tried it, I lived to regret it. The best
candidates were seldom the ones who |

remember when the Siren said she was taking some days off to
untangle some things? She was being inauthentic with you. The
reality was, she was taking the Landmark Forum. And now she is
enrolled in a new realm of possibility. The possibility of
realizing she went to a for-profit New Age outfit, knew it was a
for-profit New Age outfit, spent the whole time realizing it and
thinking, "wow, this is a for-profit New Age outfit," and still
damn near got taken. Several things saved her. There was her
longtime suspicion of evangelical life-changing experiences.
There was her background in business journalism, which means she
knows corporations will try anything to separate you from your
money. There was the influence of her late father, whose passion
for the English language would have had him walking out of the
room when the leader used a nonword such as "impactful" or
"ongoingly" (each time the Siren heard that second one, she

4.228668 | 2.91697 | 5 | Sunday, June 28 Some quick thoughts on Friday the 13th on Blu-
ray Not seeing this in theaters, I gave in to the peer
pressure of other bloggers yesterday and plopped down a twenty
and a ten for ze Blu-ray at Wal Mart--Always. ® Not the
smartest choice. Now, I wasn't one of these fans who
automatically balked at the mention of this remake. I can
honestly say I didn't care either way, didn't follow the
progress of its creation online, and even forgot who directed it
until last night. Boy, it ain't what it used to be. One of the
first things that struck me and endured throughout was how flat
out annoying the group introduced after the opening title was in
comparison to the group that was on the brunt end of Jason's
machete in the opening attention grabber. Natually, persons
18ish or older are tantamount to cattle for the slicing, but
these twenty-somethings on vaca we're forced to stick with are
so grating you wish Jason would suddenly crash through a window
and get down to some gory skullfucking. Okay, may |

the bipartisan welfare overhaul signed by President Clinton. The
law has become a major issue in this year's presidential
campaign. Mitt Romney insists President Obama gutted the law,
even though every major fact-checking organization says those
attacks are false. NPR's Ari Shapiro looks at why the Romney
campaign is sticking to its guns. ARI SHAPIRO, BYLINE: Mitt
Romney rolled out this line of attack two weeks ago. SHAPIRO:
Since then it's become a constant refrain in more ads and on the
stump. Here was Romney last week in Zanesville, Ohio. MITT
ROMNEY: Going out and saying he's going to take the welfare -
excuse me - the work requirement out of welfare. How in the
world could he not understand the power of work, the dignity of
work? And... SHAPIRO: PolitiFact says Romney's claims are Pants
On Fire Bogus. The Washington Post's fact checker awarded four
Pinocchios, the top rating. And reached the same conclusion that
these claims are false. |

Senegal hosted some 23,800 refugees and asylum seekers. Over
20,000 were Mauritanians who, between 1989 and 1991, fled ethnic
persecution. Thousands of Mauritanians lived in two main
settlements, N'dioum and Dodel, and most others lived in some
250 villages and small informal settlements in a 360-mile strip
along the Senegal River valley, bordering Mauritania. Since
1989, tens of thousands returned. In November 2007, Senegal and
Mauritania signed a tripartite agreement with UNHCR for the
return of refugees, which began in January 2008. Senegal also
hosted refugees and asylum seekers from Liberia, Sierra Leone,
and other countries. There were no camps for non-Mauritanian
refugees. Refoulement/Physical Protection The |
