It's cold here. Well, cold by Durban standards. By northern hemisphere standards, it's mild. Shirtsleeve weather, but Durbanites and the local media are full of tales about the last six weeks of rain. The Mercury, one of the local papers, reports that the weather gods are having sport with COP 17. There were worries that the big opening parade through the centre of town today would be a soggy affair. But the weather held and the band marched on. What it will be like tomorrow when Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu speaks in a packed stadium is still, well, up to the weather gods.
Tutu, a leader in the long struggle against Apartheid, is calling for world leaders to reach a fair and legally binding treaty. He's not alone and, unfortunately, the science is a lot more definitive than are the world leaders who direct the negotiators here in Durban.
While the negotiating band marches on, the evidence mounts that we need to take action -- and that we're running out of time to do it in.
Back in 2007, the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change pointed to the obvious fact that the world's climate was changing because humans were pumping too much carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases into the atmosphere. The time to act was now.
When negotiators couldn't come up with an agreement, they pulled together the Bali Action Plan which laid out milestones that were to lead to a binding agreement in Copenhagen in 2009. The Bali Action Plan was responding the Fourth Assessment Report that stated "warming of the climate system is unequivocal." It also said delaying the reduction of emissions "significantly constrains opportunities to achieve lower stabilization levels and increases the risk of more severe climate change impacts." Translation: Acting sooner is better than delaying.
When that train went off the rails, world leaders cobbled together the so-called Copenhagen Accord. That document salvaged the negotiating process and it limped towards Mexico in 2010.
In Cancun last year, with expectations low, the Cancun recognized that, "climate change represents an urgent and potentially irreversible threat to human societies and the planet" and made some small steps.
Each year, it seems tiny steps forward are made when great strides are needed. In between there is jostling and manoeuvering by countries that appear to be uninterested in reducing emissions -- and the latest excuse is that the world economy could not withstand the "shock" of cutting emissions. But as Sir Nicholas Stern pointed out in his landmark 2006 study, acting sooner rather than later will reduce the economic cost substantially. As economics has come to embrace climate science, subsequent studies have reinforced this message.
Meanwhile, a study in Nature has determined that year-round Arctic sea ice, which plays a major role in keeping the planet cool, is disappearing at a rate not seen in the last 1500 years.
What it means to both the Arctic and the globe is unknown. Said one researcher: "What we are experiencing at the moment seems to be very exceptional…. This means that we are entering into the world which has no equivalent in the past."
In his speech on Saturday, Desmond Tutu branded climate change a "huge, huge enemy" that imperils the common home of humanity and threatens rich and poor alike.
After the battle to end apartheid, he said, the next focus must be climate change. Tutu is an example, like Nelson Mandela, of how individuals can make a difference. The moral imperative behind the drive to defeat apartheid is similar to that efforts to combat climate change. Both have strong moral bases, and both are fundamentally about justice and human rights.

Introductionsnake, common name for an elongated, limbless reptile of the order Squamata, which also includes the xlizards. Most snakes live on the ground, but some are burrowers, arboreal, or aquatic; one group is exclusively marine. In temperate climates they hibernate. They are generally solitary in their habits, although they may congregate in places offering food or shelter, and large numbers may hibernate together. Snakes range in length from about 4 in. (10 cm) to over 30 ft (9 m). Most are protectively colored.

Christmas Day is coming. We can enjoy our happiest time in the year. Santa Claus will be undoubtedly the most busy and famous one. We all believe that we have already known enough about him. Does Santa Claus have other secrets? Definitely yes!
1, Where can you find him?
Where is Santa Claus? What we know about is that he is in the North Pole. Some people even said that Santa Claus is from Rovaniemi, Finland. Is that really true? If your kid was very curious about Santa Claus and wanted to find Santa Claus, how would you answer him? I am afraid that the answer will depends on the age of the kid.
Each year, before Christmas Day, there will be well furnished grotto for Santa in large shopping centers, garden and community center. For kids who are 2-3 years old, their parents will tell them that they will take them to see Santa Claus. The parents take the kids to the grotto and spend a few pounds to take a picture with the Santa Claus and get a small gift. For those who are 5-6 or even 7-8 years old, they may know that the Santa in the shopping center is not true. If they insist on going to find the real one, the parents may have no idea about what to do. For those older kids, the parents should be ready to tell them the truth.
2, What is the mail address of him?
Each year, children will write a letter to him and tell him the favorite gift they want. Traditionally, the kids only need to write down this address" Father Christmas, North Pole", then throw the letter to the back of the fireplace. The wind will send the letter to Santa.
But now, British children can send the letters to the following address:
Santa/Father Christmas,
Santa's Grotto,
Tell you a little secret: this is a special mailbox of British Royal Post. Each year, they all received about 750,000 letters from children and they said that all the letters will be forwarded to Santa Claus and all children can receive a reply.
In recent years, lazy children can also send e-mail to him! The problem is that his email address is constantly changing (the Internet in the North Pole may be not well-developed). Before sending it, you need to Google the email address.
Although I am not a young kid anymore, I also hope that I can receive a present from him. If my dream came true, I prefer that Santa can send me a backpack bag which I have been longing for a long time.
3, What's the real identity of him?
Saint Nicholas is said to be the prototype of Santa Claus. According to the legend, there was a poor old man who was afraid that if he could not afford the dowry, no one would like to marry his three daughters. Saint Nicholas was informed of his troubles, hoping to help them. On Christmas Eve, the three daughters hanged the socks by the fireplace. Nicholas threw coins to the socks through the chimney.
After the news being spread, people began to hang socks, expecting to receive the gift from saints. Later on, the task of delivering the gifts falls to today's Father Christmas or Santa Claus. Now, before Christmas Day, people will put the Christmas socks at the fireplace. If you do not have a fireplace, you can put socks attached to the windows or hang them in the door. The purpose is to make him notice them and do not forget to leave you a gift.
4, How old is he?
Santa Claus is a legend and a symbol, so his age is hard to say. If you want to count, then the prototype was Saint Nicholas who was a good bishop living in the 4th century. From the 4th century to the present, it has been 17 centuries. Therefore, he is more than 1,700 years old. But it may not be true. As for his exactly age we are afraid that only Mrs. Santa Claus knows.

Elizabeth Chin Wins Graves Award in the Humanities
Elizabeth Chin, associate professor and chairwoman of the anthropology department at Occidental College, has been awarded a Graves Award in the Humanities.
The $8,500 prize will allow Chin to spend six weeks this summer in Haiti, where she will compile a trio of ethnographies to be included in her current book project: "The Consumer Diaries (My Life With Things)."
Administered by Pomona College, the biennial Arnold L. Graves and Lois S. Graves Awards are made to faculty members under age 42, or those in their first decade of teaching, at private, non-denominational liberal arts colleges in California, Oregon and Washington. Chin is one of 11 recipients this year.
In "The Consumer Diaries (My Life With Things)," Chin, who has taught at Occidental since 1994, will set out to explore the "things" in her life that illuminate some unexamined facet of consumer life. Portions of her diaries, which are expected to be published this year, have already appeared in the Los Angeles Times and on National Public Radio.
"Working on 'The Consumer Diaries' over the last two years has begun to transform my life in powerful, unanticipated ways," Chin said. "It has forced me to reevaluate various aspects of my relationships with the world, and particularly with teaching." Specifically, the project has spurred her to develop a new course, "The Ethnography of One," which she will teach in the fall.
"Enlisting feminist approaches to teaching and learning, the course will focus on ethnographies that each explore an individual life, but also a particular culture," Chin said. "What is the relationship between one person and an entire culture? What is the relationship between author and research subject? Whose voice speaks in such ethnographies?"
In Haiti, Chin will spend two weeks in the port city of Miragoane, where she will investigate pepe, a generic term for any used item – from underwear and refrigerators to Happy Meal toys and shoes. Chin will watch such items arrive on ships. "This focused time on thinking about and following pepe will be a way for me to capture and explore consumption in an economic and social context that is worlds away from the one that rules most of my life," she said.
She will next investigate the institution of restavek, a persistent form of child slavery. "Here the work will be terrifyingly intimate, as a close friend of mine has such a child in her own home," Chin said. "This mini-ethnography will focus on my friend and her household, taking me deeper into our own friendship, the hardship she faces, explorations of the bitter hierarchies of Haitian life, and what it means to consume the labor of other people while at the same time being their only source of survival."
Finally, Chin will explore the life of a market vendor named Dedette, who sells produce in upscale Petionville. "Anthropologists have a well developed tradition of engagement with market women, who, as independent entrepreneurs, often appear to be socially and sexually ambiguous: female but powerful, womanly but public, feminine but economically independent." But it is Chin's relationship with Dedette that will form the backbone of the ethnography.
Chin's other published work includes "Purchasing Power: Black Kids and American Consumer Culture" (University of Minnesota Press, 2001), which was a finalist for the C. Wright Mills Award.

Skip to comments.Sen. McCain says Arizona should review Stand Your Ground law
Posted on 07/21/2013 9:06:10 AM PDT by SWAMPSNIPER
Breaking away from many in the conservative movement, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said that his states Stand Your Ground law needs to be reviewed.
(Excerpt) Read more at redalertpolitics.com ...
FU McCain. Keep your soppy eyes on your own state.
McCain you have become nothing but a political side show.
Hopefully he wants to make it legal for those carrying to display their weapon early on to give the perps a chance to crawl away...
Why doesn't he just change to Democrat?
My fellow Freepers, I suggest you watch angelandthewiz on YouTube show 120 where we have a special message to the GOP, and Mr. McCain
I think it's a fine idea. All McCain has to do is resign from the US Senate and run for a State seat. Then he can review it to his hearts content.
Someone tell McCain he's actually a senator from CA and see if he leaves? With the mindless brain-washed blather he's spewing of late, it's got a good shot at success.
I thought Whorealdo's selfy pic was the most pathetic thing I'd read about today. Leave it to McCain.
So Senator, just what ground IS worth standing on?
McPain needs to choose his ground, dig a hole, and lay in it. He's beyond worthless and should not be in the Senate. He's a thorough disgrace.
fter the initial furor, the media would ignore him as a middle of the road Democrat. As a Republican the media reprints and adores every time this attention whore gives a reach
around across to the other side of the aisle.
One of the biggest, if not actually THE biggest, GOP disgraces out there. He was a traitor in Viet Nam, and his tradition continues. Someone remind me again... When does he ever disagree with Barry and the 'rats? There may be a few things here and there, but he disagrees with conservatives FAR MORE OFTEN than with Barry and the 'rats.
Actually an enemy of the people. AZ wake up
Breaking away?
Breaking away?
As if this putz didn't openly display his outright hatred for conservatives at every chance... Except when In Arizona, the couple of months before an election when he pretended to be a conservative so the stupid Republicans in Arizona would vote for him.
How many American Sailors died because of your inept attempt at being a Naval Aviator? How many American Service Men and Women have died because of your ineptness at being a US SENATOR? How many American citizens will be murdered because YOU want to cave into the race baiting communist black movement and surrender our GOD given rights... amongst those LIFE and in its defense... the RIGHT of self defense... all for personal gain and power? Your name will be ranked with those of b. arnold, hitler, stalin and other tyrants of hell... because johnny boy... you rotten sumbich... you are one of them!
"Breaking away from many in the conservative movement,"
I don't care who you are. That there's funny.
"F" off McCain
McCain would have to actually be a conservative to break away from being a conservative.
Just saying.
McCain was a RAT double or nothing Presidential contender.
You can pick Peter or you can pick Paul, but either one is a Progressive commie.
See! Your a free country!!!
Come on Juan!!! Stop embarrassing us! You idiot!
With the possible exception of Reid, Pelosi, and BHO himself, I really, really dislike this idiot.
McBarrassment needs a brain implant.
Arizonians, STAND YOUR GROUND AGAINST John McCain!
How much longer are the idiots of Arizona going to foist this creep on the rest of the country?
I reluctantly voted for McCain in 08 because the alternative was worst, or so I thought. To be sure, Obama has done horrendous damage to our republic, but I think a McCain presidency might have done almost as much. At least we know that Obama is our political enemy and has never convinced any of us otherwise. McCain pretends to be our friend and yet continues to stab us in the back. McCain's presence in the Senate and his erratic and contradictory stances on the issues of the day undermine any opposition to the President's policies.
His brain needs to be reviewed! Where's the nearest proctologist????
I'd bet McCain has considered retirement in Hanoi once he's ready.
At my age, I get a little nervous when the word "senile" is bandied about too freely for my liking.
But that said, McCain is obviously senile.
Republican Arlen Specter become democrat, lost the election, and past away soon. McCain do not see the pattern. He is too old and stupid.
McCain is going to run for President again. This is part of his platform.
McCain...Please...please....please...go home and SHUT UP!!!
Oh, what's that pander-bear doing now?
McCain needs to go hang himself. They no longer make depends big enough for him.
Historically, Barack Obama may get credit for a major contribution to the country by keeping John McCain from the Presidency.
If the Pubbies fail to take back the Senate in 2014, I predict McCain will switch parties, if only to obtain more power for himself.
Breaking away from many in the conservative movement,
That should be in the past tense. He broke away a long time ago.
Sec. 16. THE state of war is a state of enmity and destruction: and therefore declaring by word or action, not a passionate and hasty, but a sedate settled design upon another man's life, puts him in a state of war with him against whom he has declared such an intention, and so has exposed his life to the other's power to be taken away by him, or any one that joins with him in his defence, and espouses his quarrel; it being reasonable and just, I should have a right to destroy that which threatens me with destruction: for, by the fundamental law of nature, man being to be preserved as much as possible, when all cannot be preserved, the safety of the innocent is to be preferred: and one may destroy a man who makes war upon him, or has discovered an enmity to his being, for the same reason that he may kill a wolf or a lion; because such men are not under the ties of the commonlaw of reason, have no other rule, but that of force and violence, and so may be treated as beasts of prey, those dangerous and noxious creatures, that will be sure to destroy him whenever he falls into their power.
Sec. 17. And hence it is, that he who attempts to get another man into his absolute power, does thereby put himself into a state of war with him; it being to be understood as a declaration of a design upon his life: for I have reason to conclude, that he who would get me into his power without my consent, would use me as he pleased when he had got me there, and destroy me too when he had a fancy to it; for no body can desire to have me in his absolute power, unless it be to compel me by force to that which is against the right of my freedom, i.e. make me a slave. To be free from such force is the only security of my preservation; and reason bids me look on him, as an enemy to my preservation, who would take away that freedom which is the fence to it; so that he who makes an attempt to enslave me, thereby puts himself into a state of war with me. He that, in the state of nature, would take away the freedom that belongs to any one in that state, must necessarily be supposed to have a foundation of all the rest; as he that in the state of society, would take away the freedom belonging to those of that society or commonwealth, must be supposed to design to take away from them every thing else, and so be looked on as in a state of war.
Breaking away ? He is only a conservative when he is running for reelection. And then he spews nothing but lies. The Oligarchy is coming for our guns. And one way or another, they will get them.
"At my age, I get a little nervous when the word senile is bandied about too freely for my liking."
Oh, darlin'. mccain isn't senile. He's crazy. HUGE difference. And he has BEEN crazy most of his life.
Be proud you residents of Arizona!
He makes Goldwater spin in his grave.
OK.. lets review it..
if someone puts their hands on me in anger or with criminal intent..
sounds good to me
That's simple enough. He's so much more valuable for generating the following story leads:"Breaking away from many in the conservative movement..." etc. etc.
OK, according to McInsane there should be no stand your ground laws and everyone must run from criminals.
So, why didn't Trayvon run from Zimmerman instead of assault him?

So...what's the over/under on the Cardinals losing the rest of their games to finish 4-12? I gotta figure their last best chance to win is going to be at home against the Lions, and even that's a stretch. Woeful.
Meanwhile, glad the Bears got back to their winning ways.
I'm so conflicted as a 49ers fan right now. It's definitely not the QB controversy I'm used to.
I'm happy a challenger has appeared to take last place from me.
Kinda sucks the NFL bans Adderal, even if prescribed. I'm sure there are plenty of players who legitimately need it and would be taking it even if football wasn't part of their lives.
Really? I don't get why it's banned. As someone who has had it and other ADD medications prescribed to me I fail to see what type of advantages it will give you on the field.
i can see how it would keep a DE from jumping offsides maybe.
I mean maybe offside and false starts will be lowered a little bit but that is more of a timing thing then anything else really.
The Chargers get better at failing every week.
Under the NFL PED policy, players can say they tested positive for whatever they want since the NFL can't say what the actual drug was, so anybody who believes that the players were busted for just taking Adderall is an idiot.
Regardless if it's PED, Adderal, or weed a professional athlete needs to know exactly what is banned or not before they put it in their bodies. Or if there is steps to take to make certain drugs OK then they need to take those steps. If it really is just Adderal it does suck for the suspension but those are the rules and they really can't blame anyone else but themselves (not that they are doing that to begin with). As a 49er fan though I can't say I am to upset about it though.
So apparently Sherman is claiming that he accidentally drank from an Adderall-infused water bottle belonging to one of his teammates who had a prescription. Browner is claiming that the lab accidentally contaminated his urine sample. At least Brian Cushing went full retard and invented an entire medical condition that explained his tainted piss. This is a list of NFL players who were suspended this season for violating the league's policy on Adderrall.
Unsurprisingly, over half of the players are defensive backs.Quote:
Current New England Patriots and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib, New England Patriots linebacker Jermaine Cunning ham, current Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright, New York Giants safeties Will Hill and Tyler Sash, Giants running back Andre Brown, Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Mike Neal, and Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden have all been suspended this year after testing positive for the drug.
Adderall-infused water bottle? Are you shitting me? They were all roiding up, despite what they media says. If a coach or player says it was something other than that, of course they'll take their word for it. There's no way they'd fess up to steroids. Not only that, if it's ok to use Adderall under prescription then why not just get one? Doctors hand out ADD meds like candy, it's not difficult to get one.
I missed this live, since I was passed out from all that Turkey. Now I can't stop watching....
And now Colin Kaepernick is the official starter. Poor Alex.

From JetsWiki
Mangini, Eric
Penguinis Mangenious (Commonly known as Eric Mangini) Took over coaching duties for the Jets in February of 2006, shortly after Hermwomanus Edwussius ditched the team for Kansas City. Although he's only been coaching for one year, Mangenious has already put his mark on the franchise by rebuilding a team ruined by former coach Herm Edwards. Mangenious, who came from New England, brings with him lots of football coaching experience as he has learned from some of the best, Bellicheck, Parcells, Crenell, Weiss, the list goes on...
History (prior to becoming Jets HC)
Eric Mangini, despite his young age for a head coach (turning 37 this season), has had a lot of experience coaching in the NFL. In his 12+ years as an NFL coach, he has worked under some of the best and winningest coaches of all time. Bill Bellicheck, Bill Parcells, and Romeo Crenell are just a few of the many succesful coaches that are on Mangini's list of mentors.
First Job
Mangini's first job came at age 24 (1995) working as an assistant with the Cleveland Browns under head coach Bill Bellicheck. Bellicheck liked Mangini for the devotion, commitment, and hard work he showed as both a ballboy and later as a PR intern. His first coaching job was a strength and conditioning/clock management assistant for the Browns. Since then, Mangini has coached on the Browns, Ravens, Jets and Patriots before becoming a head coach for the Jets.
Climbing up the ladder
Since his first job with the Browns, Mangini left to work under Ted Marchibroda when the team relocated to Baltimore and became the Ravens. During his short stay with the Ravens, he worked as a quality control/offensive assistant coach. Holding this position, Mangini learned a lot about the offensive side of the ball as the Ravens averaged nearly 358 YPG in Mangenious's one and only year with the team. The next year(1997) Mangini rejoined with Bellicheck on the Jets. In his (first) three years with the Jets (97-99) Mangini saw good coaching and creative, organized, gameplaning at its best, working under head coach Bill Parcells, defensive coordinator Bill Bellicheck, offensive assistant Al Groh, ST coach Mike Westhoff, as a strength and conditioning, quality control, clock management, and assistant LB coach in his three years with the Jets. When Parcells retired and Bellicheck ditched to NE, Mangini followed and became the LB coach for the Patriots in 2000. Since then, Mangini worked as LB coach, DB coach, and D. Coordinator for the New England Patriots as he, once again, saw good coaching at its best working under head coach Bill Bellicheck, D. Coordinator Romeo Crennell, and Offensive coordinator Charlie Weiss. Since his first job as a ballboy with Cleveland, Mangini has lived the "American dream" of football coaching and has become the definition of 'rags to riches'.
Taking the Jets job
Finally, in February of 2006, the hard work and determination of the Mangenious paid off as he accepted the head coaching job of the New York Jets. In doing so, Mangini took over a team in desperation after the disappointing tenure of Herman Edwards. Many NFL football followers, Jets fans included, saw the hire of an 'inexperienced 36 year old coach' as proof that the Jets ownership wanted to build for the future and enter a rebuilding phrase. Mangini and counterpart Mike Tannenbaum however, had different plans.
Reforming the Jets
Rather than the desperate, out of whack, and hopeless team that everyone else saw the Jets as, Manginious and co. saw a team with a solid, young core. With players and leaders such as L. Coles, J. Cotchery, C. Pennington, J. Vilma, and K. Rhodes, already in place, Mangenious saw a team in need of some cleaning and reloading, rather than complete rebuilding. Right off the bat, Mangini prepared to put his mark on the Jets franchise by releasing key veterans, C Kevin Mawae, OT Jason Fabini, and CB, Ty Law. Who would take their place? Mangini and Tannenbaum were determined to go after the 'core value players', or as Mangini put it, players that "were playing for the name on the front of the jersey more then for the name on the back". These players were 1st round picks OT D'brickeshaw Ferguson, C/OG Nick Mangold, and Free Agent signee CB Andre Dyson. It has been noted that 8 of the 10 draft picks of last year's draft were starters or 'key role players' for the Jets in '06. Also, and most importantly, Mangini held an open camp, and the promised that the best player would play no matter of how acquired. Unlike his predecessor, Hermwomanus, Pengunis Mangenious was serious and stuck to that promise, as evidenced by the success of previously back-ups Jericho Cotchery and Bryan Thomas.
Season of 2006
Due to the collapse of the Jets in 2005, (the jets went 4-12 in '05) expectations were low all around for the season of 2006, Mangini's first year on the job. In fact, most experts around the league doubted the Jets would win more then 6 games in the 2006 season, and many had the Jets winning as few as 3 games. As a result, Mangini and the Jets began shocking fans and NfL experts since their 23-16 Week 1 win over the Titans, a game in which everyone looked good (besides Mike Nugent), and the team seemed together. The biggest shock of last season, however, was the midseason win over Mangini's former mentor, Bill Bellicheck, and his Patriots. As the season progressed, fans and followers regained their confidence in the Green and White, who finished 10-6, earining an improbable playoff berth. The success of the Jets also boosted confidence in Eric Mangini, who was honored by an NFL Coach of the Year nomination and winner of an AFC Coach of the Year award.

Afterfeast of the Theophany of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
The Gospel according to Mark 1:9-15
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when He came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." The Spirit immediately drove Him out into the wilderness. And He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

By Brendan Conway
Morningstar's Samuel Lee weighs in today with an endorsement of Charles Schwab's (SCHW) fundamental-index exchange-traded funds over the competition. For serious fund nerds, his analysis is a must read.
Key to the argument: The family of ETFs including Schwab Fundamental U.S. Broad Market ETF (FNDB), Schwab Fundamental U.S. Small Company ETF (FNDA) and Schwab Fundamental International Small Company ETF (FNDC) offers (1) low costs, (2) a few important tweaks to Rob Arnott's original index methods, and (3) what Lee argues is an unusual ability to wring the most out of the "value" investing premium.
Let's focus on the last of those three, since it's the most interesting. This is largely about getting the best access to small companies with attractive fundamentals.
As Lee writes, much of the bang in the market's "value" premium as it's been observed historically has come from small stocks. (If that's news to you, read here, here or here for an opposing viewpoint.)
If you believe that getting small stocks is key, then it makes sense to gear your fundamental index — the whole point of which is to invest according to attractive company attributes — to stick with as many attractive shrimp as is possible.
Lee argues that Schwab does this to good effect, coupled with a few changes to index methodology, like quarterly rebalancing instead of annually:
The RAFI tends to favor less-liquid, smaller stocks and has historically generated a decent portion of its returns from them.
We can see this effect by comparing the back-tested returns of the FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index and the MSCI USA Value-Weighted Index. MSCI's clients tend to be big institutions, so the firm hews to liquid parts of the market. As of this writing, the smallest stock's market value in the FTSE RAFI 1000 is a little more than $1.0 billion; in the MSCI USA Value-Weighted Index, it's about $3.6 billion. The different liquidity and size cutoffs have resulted in a 1.5-percentage-point difference in annualized returns since each index's common back-tested inception date.
It's not that the MSCI indexers missed the point. Their huge institutional clients simply need scalability that smalltime investors don't.
Keeping in mind the dangers of relying too heavily on backtests, Lee's argument is an intriguing one.

Ranked by many publications as one of the best cities to live in the world, Vancouver, Canada is a dynamic multi-cultural city that offers its visitors a world-class atmosphere with a great emphasis on quality of life.
With a very open and diverse population coming from all ethnical backgrounds and lifestyles, Vancouver is a city where you can truly be yourself.
So whether you love dining at fine restaurants, exercising in the park, shopping, walking through lush gardens, visiting art museums, or people-watching, Vancouver has plenty of activities you can enjoy both indoors and outdoors, whatever the weather.
Around Downtown
If you don't know where to begin, a great place to start is the Vancouver Lookout, an observatory at the top of the Harbour Centre that offers a spectacular 360° view of the metropolitan area of Vancouver.
Once you see everything from above, you can come down to street level and tour the city.
In the heart of downtown, the Vancouver Art Gallery will make modern art lovers salivate. With a main focus on contemporary art and the works of Canadian internationally renowned artists, like Emily Carr, this gallery has also displayed the works of artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Rodin, among many others.
Love to shop? Then head to Robson Street. From big-name stores to small boutiques, Robson Street will captivate the most serious of shoppers.
Robson Street is also full of coffee shops, ethnic restaurants, and it makes a great place for people watching.
For a different kind of shopping experience head to Granville Island. In its colorful public market you can find fresh produce, flowers, and seafood, among other goods.
Stanley Park
You just can't leave Vancouver without visiting Stanley Park. This is one of the most beautiful parks I've seen in my life.
Located in the northern part of the city, Stanley Park is 1.5 square miles and mostly surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.
This multi-purpose recreational area gives you the opportunity to admire and enjoy a wealth of lush green areas and gardens, totem poles, beaches, historical monuments, and a 5.5 miles seawall path that circles the park.
This seawall pathway is used by pedestrians, cyclists, and inline skaters, and is perhaps the most popular recreational feature in Stanley Park.
Also located in Stanley Park is the Vancouver Aquarium, a major tourist attraction and a world-class center for marine research and conservation. Don't forget to say hi to the beluga whales for me.
Critical Mass
On the last Friday of every month you are invited to be part of Critical Mass. This is a fun bike ride where participants cycle through parts of the city that are typically packed with cars.
And I'm talking about thousands of people cycling through the streets!
Many streets in downtown are closed for this colorful monthly parade and most cyclists show up in costumes, which is encouraged.
The purpose is to not only enjoy cycling around the city, but also promote the safety and respect for cyclists; a type of awareness for bicycle rights.
The Wines of British Columbia
Close to Vancouver, there are five wine regions that have produced award-winning wines.
Some of the best Canadian wines come from Okanagan Valley, located about 100 miles east of Vancouver. Among their range of grape varietals you can find Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.
Quails' Gate is a family owned wine producer that has produced great Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. However, their Dry Riesling actually pairs very well with seafood.
And since Vancouver offers excellent seafood restaurants, my recommendation is to explore the whites first. The production ratio of red vs. white wines in British Columbia is almost 50-50, so give reds a chance too.
Other Activities
If you have more time to spare, other sites to visit are the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden and the Capilano Suspension Bridge, the latter located 20 minutes from downtown Vancouver.
Where to Stay
The Fairmont Hotel – Built in 1928, this gorgeous hotel stands out among the modern high rises dotting the skyline. You can't beat the location, just a short walk from the trendy boutiques on Robson as well as the picturesque waterfront. The downside to staying at the Fairmont: $13/day for in-room internet.
And remember: Vancouver will be hosting the 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Winter Games starting February 12. So if you are visiting Vancouver during these days be sure you know the venue area road closures.
If you have visited Vancouver and want to share your experiences and/or favorite spots, please post your comments.

About 200 outraged parents, teachers and community members rallied in front of the Douglas County School District's administration building in Castle Rock on Sept. 27.
Cold, damp weather did not dim their enthusiasm or ire, which was directed at the school board and district leadership. Some drivers passing by on Wilcox Street honked and waved, some stared and others ignored the waving, chanting, cheering crowd.
"I'm disgusted, I'm furious and I'm appalled," said Janica Winn, holding a sign reading, "4 Kids, not 4 Profit." Winn's daughter graduated from the district and her son is a high school student.
"I don't feel my son is getting the same education my daughter did," she said, citing larger class sizes, decreased graduation requirements and diminished electives among her concerns.
"(The district) won't even give us the money we need for capital improvements," she said. "Instead, they spend $50,000 to bring in Bill Bennett."
Bennett, the former U.S. Secretary of Education, spoke in Lone Tree Sept. 25 during an event financed by the school district's nonprofit educational foundation.
The rally, sparked by an accumulation of concerns, also was called to urge Douglas County residents to cast their votes for change on the board Nov. 5. With the exception of a handful of people, those gathered for the rally supported candidates Barbra Chase, Bill Hodges, Julie Keim and Ronda Scholting. All four attended the rally.
They are running against the Republican slate of candidates: incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn, along with Judi Reynolds and Jim Geddes.
Chad Mathis, who supports the current board, stood on the opposite side of the street from most of the protesters, holding a sign to indicate he's OK with recent policy changes and the board's push for an ever-increasing array of education options.
"The more options we have, the more likely we are to find that one that meets our child's needs," said Mathis, a father of two young children.
Charcie Russell, a member of Great Choice Douglas County, holds a similar view.
"We like the choice in education that this administration and school board are providing," she said.
Rebecca Waye and her 3-year-old son Tyson, bundled in a down coat, stood on the corner of Wilcox and Sixth Street, both waving signs.
"We think it's time for a change in the school board," Waye said. "I think they're not being up front about decisions that are being made with our tax dollars, and they are not respectful of the parents."
Wendy Vogel, a parent who's helped lead the charge against the current board, was smiling in spite of the cold. She's optimistic the election will bring about the change in leadership most people at the rally believe is needed.
"I feel good about it," she said. "I think people are a lot more informed now than they were even two months ago."

|In response to Re: Polybutelene Plumbing
: About a year ago we purchased a home built between 1990 and 1991. I had some plumbing work done and discovered a leak in my shower. The plumber who did the repair work informed me the house had this type of plumbing. Currently, I'm in the process of remodeling a different bathroom and have again been informed by the new plumber that I have polybutelene piping. This plumber told me about a class action suit and suggested I research it as he was told I might be able to get the house replumbed. Also, I think I have additional leakage in the first bathroom although it has not yet been verified by a plumber.
: What can I do? Is it too late to get anything done legally (as part of a class action suit). Please let me know.

Comments: Jig colors are great and love the head design but the hook bent out on the first 2.5lb largemouth I caught when pulling out of the pads using a 3 power rod. Too bad too because I really liked the jig up til then.
From: JD: WA 5/25/14
Comments: Review:it's a great jig and great color choices it also has a great head design witch allows it to deflect of cover, I will definitely be pickin up some more.

Posted on 12/13/2012 6:53:28 PM PST by Beave Meister
Robert Griffin III is arguably the most popular man in Washington right now. The Redskins spectacular rookie quarterback has been winning games, fans, and headlines due to his play this season. Today, he was on the front page of the Washington Post for the third time in a week and a half.
Under increasing media scrutiny, Griffin has been clear he does not want to be defined by his race. In a news conference yesterday cited in USA Today, Griffin, an African-American, said, For me, you dont ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. Thats what Ive tried to go out and do. He continued, I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I dont have to be defined by that.
But columnist and ESPN analyst Rob Parker evidently thinks otherwise. On the networks First Take show this morning, Parker said, my question, which is just a straight honest question, is [Griffin] a brother, or is he a cornball brother?
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalreview.com ...
Call him what they like...I'm afraid he is going to dismantle my beloved Browns come Sunday.
This just in "Free Republic Member Calls Parker an Anal Clown After Parker's Multiple Ignoramous Comments"
Like Chris Rock said: "It's Jus Ig-nint"...
Someone who knows racist slang, explain "cornball" to me? Is it the new "c-word"?
I figured he might be a Republican because he's a pretty dang good quarterback. He'd probably make a crummy "cornhole" ANALyst like Parker on ESPN though.
I think "cornball" has replaced "Uncle Tom."
ESPN, by all accounts, the Sports version of MSNBC.
If the left didn't have hate, they'd have nothing.
Is RG really a republican or is he guessing?
Arizona would dismantle the Browns this week... if
ESPNs Rob Parker dropped a bombshell today when he called NFL rookie star and MVP candidate Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III a cornball brother. That means, according to Parker, that RGIII isnt a real black person, and that he might not be one of us or down for the cause.
down for the cause.
What exactly is this cause he speaks of?
Struggle ?
To continue struggling ?
If Parker were down for the cause maybe he should quit his job and go on welfare.
This guy, Parker, is a racist piece of crap and should be fired right now. And I'm an Eagles fan and hate the Redskins.
Why should I care if a cornholio brother calls another brother a cornball brother?
I guess ESPN will have to fire him like they did with Rush Limbaugh, whej he said some things considered racially charged.
My advise is to quit listening to these corrupt, hypocritical, no-minds. They add no value to the game of football.
Limbaugh quit.
ESPN & Rob Parker are Racists Bullys.
RG3 is off the reservation. He graduated in 3 tears and has 2 masters degrees. This jackass could'nt load a shot gun without blowing his nose off. RG3 could be President and I predict that is where he is going!! You don't go to BAYLOR if you are a communist. You go to UT!!
If you're an Eagles fan you have plenty of problems of your own.
Multiple bastard children? Domestic violence? High dropout rates?
Looks like the mau-mauing of RGIII has officially begun.
I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. It's hard to believe, but there was a time when even Michael Jordan took flack from some quarters for not sufficiently hatin' on Whitey.
For me, you dont ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. You want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. Thats what Ive tried to go out and do.
That used to be exactly what defined what it was to be an American. It wasn't where your family came from. We don't have caste systems. It was what you became as an individual with the freedom you have.
Black Americans are not allowed to think for themselves
You better watch those Eagles insults. It's not like we released our most popular player who was runner up Man of the Year for a dog murdering felon...
What's striking to me is that Parker not only wants to stay on the plantation himself, but drag others with him.
Ever since Rush got railroaded out of becoming part owner of an NFL team, I've been watching and listening more closely at how these 'reporters' act and talk.
Incredible racism in sportscasting. It's obvious and seemingly endless, not to mention shameful.
RG3 is from a military family, which counts as another strike against him for the commie loving sports media.
Didn't know this, thanks for posting that. All I know is, he's an exciting player to watch. For a rookie he's damn' good and there's no doubt he's going to make a big mark in the NFL. Guessing by his education, once he's done on the field he's destined for really good things off the field too, and I say good for him!
And we're about to release that dog murdering felon.
More proof that Affirmative Action is a failure= Rob Parker.
Cedric "Cornball" Maxwell ?
Yup. ESPN worships Buttcrack odumbo. He's in almost every sports and non-sports story. Now who could ever forget his new spelling of "Syracuse" on the NCAA bracket show while Andy Katz was drooling all over him...
LOL!! I believe that was "Cornbread Maxwell"
"You dont go to BAYLOR if you are a communist. You go to UT"
or Texas A&M. My cuz graduated from T A&M and his GF is from Baylor. Libs aren't exactly popular there as they told me. And yes, he went nuts when Manziel won the Heisman.
keep it real. check out "how to be gangster"
RGIII also makes the sign of the cross after every touchdown they make.
Funny how I haven't heard that become an issue. Yet.
I had a lot of respect for RGIII up until now. Now I'm a big fan. It's amazing how far things have degraded in our culture. An educated, enormously talented and responsible young black man basically quotes Martin Luther King on aspiring to be judged on his character, and a black sports "commentator" with a national microphone calls him degrading names. Rob Parker is an absolute disgrace and should be fired by ESPN. I can certainly see why Rob Parker wouldn't want to be judged on the content of his character.
Been a big fan since the night I saw him win the Heisman. Superman indeed.
Cornball used to mean corny , rustic, country bumpkin? This guy is very impressive!
Baylor is run by its law school full of crooked venal lawyers... but you could be right anyway.
That might explain why he seems so content and confident so much.
Have faith. Pray to the spirit of Abe Abraham!
It was, just seeing if you would catch it :)
I hope so, he sucks.
I am a Cowboy fan and I hate when they lose to the Redskins. I wish RGIII all the success in the world against other teams, but on occasion they do defeat my boys. When it does happen I would rather lose with RGIII as their QB than that a-hole Joe Theisman.
Here Here! RG III ain't no tea-sipper!
Down with the cause? A white fiance? A Republican? OHMIGAWD! One question though: who is Rob Parker? Second question: why gave the racist Parker the authority to decide who is black? Ball-less Bayliss should have run him off the show.
According to Urbandictionary.com, Cornball, definition #4:
a person who is not popular, looks and dresses like a dork, has book smart and no street smarts, and also does not keep it gangsta.

SEE-U Brazil
Brazil | The Atlantic Forest & Serra do Mar State Park
6 credits, 5 weeks
Summer 2017 (June 3–July 8)
Live and learn in one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet – the Atlantic Forest. Named one of Conservation International's 25 biodiversity hotspots, the Atlantic Forest is home to over 20,000 species of plants and 2,200 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The Atlantic Forest contains several different canopies that bolster a rich diversity of vegetation including ferns, mosses, and epiphytes. As a world leader in primate diversity some of the Atlantic Forest's most iconic species are found nowhere else in the world, including the golden lion tamarin and wooly spider monkey. Threats to the Atlantic Forest include illegal logging and extraction of valuable timber species, land conversion to agriculture, pasture, and forest plantations, and development of urban areas.
SEE-U Brazil allows you to study at the third largest non-governmental organization in Brazil, the Center for Conservation Biology at the Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas (IPÊ). Located in Nazaré Paulista, IPÊ comprises more than 60 professionals working on over 30 scientific research projects throughout the region. The Institute is surrounded by a beautiful mosaic of forest, pasture, eucalyptus plantations, and pristine reservoirs which are ideal for scenic hikes, mountain bike riding, swimming, and kayaking. Adjacent to IPÊ is a small organic community farm which provides the great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables used in meals prepared for the SEE-U program.
The two main ecological regions of this biodiversity hotspot are the interior Atlantic Forest, an expanse that borders the foothills of the Serra do Mar into southern Brazil where IPÊ is located, and the coastal Atlantic Forest, a narrow strip of 50-100 kilometers along the Brazilian coast. You will also travel with the SEE-U program and stay in Picinguaba, located within Serra do Mar State Park, where the native vegetation of the forest meets the sand in this largest continuous protected area of the Atlantic Forest. Containing over 40% of all amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals in the region, Serra do Mar State Park provides an ideal location for you to study the coastal Atlantic Forest and marine ecosystems of Brazil. There, you will also have the opportunity to explore nearby historic Paraty, a preserved Portuguese colonial and Brazilian Imperial town on the Green Coast of Brazil.

By PATSY STODDARDStaff, Emery County Progress
Huntington resident Adeline Wakefield Starr has a special place in her heart for the sound of a bell. Starr, 93, is a lifelong resident of Huntington who said she remembers well the time when the rhythm of the day in Huntington flowed to the sound of a ringing bell.
"Bells for us in the old days told the time of the day," said Starr.
In her own words, Starr tells of her memories of the bells, "Years ago, when I was about 'knee high to a grasshopper' as we used to say; two bells played a very important part in my life, as well as the community in general. One was in the church steeple and the other one atop the old school house. Every Sunday morning the church bell would ring at 9:30, telling us it was time to get ready for Sunday School. Half an hour later a second bell would ring meaning it was time to start. This same procedure was followed for primary and sacrament meeting. The bell atop the school did the same job on school days. Rather than a ding-dong we chose to think the bell said, "C-O-M-E N-O-W, C-O-M-E N-O-W."
"We really thought we had it made to be able to boast of two bells.....one for church and one for school. Both bells had a decidedly different sound but were equally beautiful.
"Sometimes, on rare occasions, such as New Year's Eve, you could hear both bells, ringing the old year out and the new year in. For funerals it was quite a different story. The bell was tolled. Meaning just one slow strike spaced at regular intervals. Obviously as a bell's rope is pulled and then released, the bell makes two separate sounds. Therefore when the funeral bell was to be tolled, it required only one sound, so it had to be rung manually. Probably the custodian, who was in charge of the bell, would climb up to the bell and strike it from there.
"To me, this tolling was a very sad, lonesome sound, (because I'm sure I associated it with death.) We used to count the tolls thinking it indicated how old the person was. A horse-driven, white topped buggy, with white lace curtains pulled into scallops with ribbon bows, carried the body to the church house and then later to the cemetery.
"In 1922 a fire destroyed the school house, ruining the bell. When the ward was divided and a new church house was built in 1947 the bell seemed to be retired. Soon afterwards the Emery County School District bought the old church and the bell again became popular for announcing ballgame victories, etc.
"That bell now hangs outside at Canyon View Junior High School and is electronically operated. The bell rings at the beginning of each school day and every hour to signify class changes. I suppose but I like to think some still check their watches and clocks as they hear the sound of the bell......just as they did so many years ago.
"One old bell that hung in Huntington's first meeting house is said to have been cracked as they were ringing it to announce the victory of World War I. Whistles were blowing and bells were ringing all over the country. Our boys were coming home. This bell is now mounted on a cement block which stands near the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers home on 100 North and 200 West in Huntington," said Starr.
"How well I remember a fellow who was to make a casket, coming into the old Geary Mercantile where I worked. He had a list of materials he needed. Yards of plush to cover the box. This beautiful material had a floral design pressed in it. One roll of cotton batting for padding. Box of linen covered white tacks. More white soft material for the lining. Then a box of hardware. This included the handles, screw plates and screws for closing the box," said Starr.
The sound of the bells tolling at funerals brought back a song Starr learned somewhere in her past.
"Where Potomic Streams are Flowing"
Where Potomic streams are flowing Virginia's borders through,
Where the white sail ships are going, sailing to the ocean blue.
Hush, the sound of mirth and singing, silence everyone.
While the solemn bells are ringing by the tomb of Washington.
Tolling and knelling hear that mournful sound O'er the waves
the tones are swelling by Mt. Vernon's sacred ground.
Long ago the warriors slumbered, our country fathers slept.
Long among the angels numbered they the hero's soul has kept,
but his children's children love him and his name revere. Now
while willows wave above him, Sweetly still his name we hear.
Sail on ship across the bellows and bear the story far.
How he slept beneath the willows, first in peace and first in war.
Tell how sweet adieus are swelling 'Til we come again.
How within the hearts are dwelling of his loving countrymen.
"The poem, 'The Death and Burial of Cock Robin' also mentions the tolling of the bells. The poem says, "Who'll toll the bell? I said the Bull, because I can pull, so Cock Robin, farewell."
"Traditions like the ringing of the bells at funerals and other traditions are becoming lost. It's important to write some kind of history even if you just take pictures and write a story explaining that picture. I wish my parents had written their history down, especially the life they lived while on the ranch," said Starr.
Starr has many books and pictures detailing her long and happy history. She certainly practices what she preaches when it comes to preserving her history for generations to come.

Go & pick out a 4.75 inch in chartreuse pepper for clear water. You can't beat it!

Comments: Oh man, the Rattlesnake in Trophy Hunter color is my never leave home without bait. From bass, reds, specks flounder to river rainbows this bait works. Can rig it in many different ways and all work like a charm. GRANDEBASS is where it's at for soft plastics.

Comments: my go to plastic. Fish it like a fluke, wacky, Texas rig, Carolina rig, shaky head, neko.... It don't matter. 20lb bag in under an hour at a Texas team trail tournament this year. Really like houdini color
From: Nute: TX 9/28/14
Comments: Great bait,bought the blackops blue,has caught many bass.holds up well an can be fished in alot of different ways.I like to fish it on owner shackyhead jigs the action is great without hardly any movement of the rod tip.great product.
From: John: knoxville tn.
Comments: I really like these baits. They have caught fish on tough days when fish were finicky and nothing else seemed to work. I like to fish them on a small shaky head and occasionally on a Carolina rig. They catch more water and have a slower fall than standard finesse worms so with a small weight you get a very natural life-like drift action. Just be sure to use a hook with enough gap so that the ribs don't bunch up when you set the hook. I think the TrophyHunter color works so well because the many different hues and the ribs camouflage the bait and make it look alive in the water. Give 'em a try especially when the bite is tough.
Comments: Love these on a shaky head. Works no matter where I use it. Seems to only catch fish over 3lbs! Caught a 6lber, and two 4s just yesterday.
From: Chris: Fallbrook,California
