Daily Academic Alpha: Value and Momentum in Vietnam
An interesting out of sample test on return drivers in the Vietnamese market from 2006 to 2014. Not surprisingly, value and momentum show some mojo — Liquidity as well…size, not so much. But size only matters if you control your junk, apparently.
This is in line with our own research and the research of many others:
- Value: Never buy expensive stocks.
- Momentum: Ride Winners and Cut Losers.
- Size: Does the size effect exist?
An Analysis of Investment Strategies and Abnormal Returns in the Vietnam Stock Market
The purpose of this paper is to understand the linkages between excess returns and four investment strategies – value, momentum, size, and liquidity – for the Vietnam stock market during the period 2006-2014. The empirical results suggest that a value strategy, such as the E/P and B/P ratios, and momentum and liquidity strategies are the most successful and generate significant excess returns, in contrast to the size strategy, which does not work in the Vietnam stock market. Therefore, investors who want to make a profit when investing in the Vietnam stock market should track published financial information and find winner stocks by referring to value, momentum, and liquidity strategies.
This research is not published in an amazing top-tier journal, but the results serve as another data point supporting the idea that value and momentum are everywhere (Asness et al. 2013). Of course, active investing is simple, but NOT easy.
Note: This site provides NO information on our value investing ETFs or our momentum investing ETFs. Please refer to this site.

Date submitted: August 22, 2009
- Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.
- Care of the elderly in a home like setting vs an instutional nursing home.
- Does your question include a comparison of different health care approaches? (If no, your topic will still be considered.)
- yes
- If yes, explain the specific technologies, devices, drugs, or interventions you would like to see compared:
- 1. Would like to see relationships/bonds of CNA's and residences in both situations.
2. Would like to see what both the caregiver and the cared for think of having the same care giver 5 out of 7 days.
3. Is there a positive or negative aspect of those relationships as viewed by both the care giver and the cared for?
- What patients or group(s) of patients does your question apply to? (Please include specific details such as age range, gender, coexisting diagnoses, and indications for therapy.)
- Those who reside in both a residential home and a nursing home.
- Are there subgroups of patients that your question might apply to? (For example, an ethnic group, stage or severity of a disease.)
- 1. The subgroups could apply to dementia patients or groups that would be deemed to need assisted living.
- Describe the health-related benefits you are interested in. (For example, improvements in patient symptoms or problems from treatment or diagnosis.)
- I am interested in the elderly feeling connected to their care givers, feel honored and enjoy what ever time they have left by doing activities they enjoy.
- Describe any health-related risks, side effects, or harms that you are concerned about.
- The emotional ties at the end of life for the care givers to the people cared for will need to be addressed before end of life happens.
The activities need to be selected on what the cared for want to do, what is safe to do and what is enjoyable for them.
Appropriateness for EHC Program
- Does your question include a health care drug, intervention, device, or technology available (or likely to be available) in the U.S.?
- yes
- Which priority area(s) and population(s) does this topic apply to? (check all that apply)
- EHC Priority Conditions (updated in 2008)
- Arthritis and nontraumatic joint disorders
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease, including stroke and hypertension
- Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease
- Depression and other mental health disorders
- Diabetes mellitus
- Functional limitations and disability
- Infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS
- Obesity
- Peptic ulcer disease and dyspepsia
- Pulmonary disease/asthma
- AHRQ Priority Populations
- Low income groups
- Minority groups
- Women
- Elderly
- Individuals with special health care needs, including individuals with disabilities or who need chronic care or end-of-life health care
- Federal Health Care Program
- Medicare
- Describe why this topic is important.
- This topic is important because the population is aging and the baby boomers are not interested in being institutionalized or given depersonalized care.
- What specifically motivated you to ask this question? (For example, you are developing a clinical guideline, working with a policy with large uncertainty about the appropriate approach, costly intervention, new research you have read, items in the media you may have seen, a clinical practice dilemma you know of, etc.)
- My mother has Alzheimer's and has been in 2 very different facilities. The philosophy of these facilities are very different and are carried out differently.
- Does your question represent uncertainty for clinicians and/or policy-makers? (For example, variations in clinical care, controversy in what constitutes appropriate clinical care, or a policy decision.)
- yes
- If yes, please explain:
- If we only have one option for care of the elderly there is no choice in where they can go.
Potential Impact
- How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?
- What is the best way to care for the elderly. How do the elderly want to be cared for and who gains from excellent care or sub optimal care?
- Describe the timeframe in which an answer to your question is needed.
- Depending if we can get the monies for a residential home will dictate our time frame.
Possibly we could use an already established residential home and a nursing home.
- Describe any health disparities, inequities, or impact on vulnerable populations your question applies to.
- How many beds will be private pay and how many can be for the indigent?
This newer way of living for the elderly can changed people's lives, influenced clinical practice, improved policies, and affected patient outcomes
Nominator Information
- Other Information About You: (optional)
- Please choose a description that best describes your role or perspective: (you may select more than one category if appropriate)
- Patient/Consumer
- Nurse/Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant
- Are you making a suggestion as an individual or on behalf of an organization?

Home > Research and Publications > Working Papers > To Preserve and Protect: Land Use Regulations in Weston, MA
In the 1990s, Edward and Polly Dickson, life-long and prominent residents of Massachusetts' most affluent town, decided to ensure that people of diverse incomes could live in their community. Next to their own house they proposed to build eighteen single-family houses, several of which would be affordable to low- and middle-income households. They proceeded cautiously so as not to raise opposition to their plans. They hired a nonprofit, as opposed to a private, developer; they chose an architectural firm with experience in high-end suburban communities; they chose an expensive and popular landscape designer. The plan called for placing houses around a large open green space in such a way that they would be visible only from the single road that bordered the site. The Dicksons lined up support among their many friends and persuaded the town selectmen to back the project. They chose to pursue the project through the process created by the state statute called 40B, which avoided the normally difficult and time-consuming procedures of local approval. Despite all this effort, their neighbors banded together and threatened lawsuits to stop the project while members of the town's planning board, invited as a courtesy to consult on the project, seemed determined to delay the project to the point of collapse. What sort of community could generate objections to the construction of eighteen innocuous-looking houses for families of mixed incomes visible only and just barely from a single road? The answer lies in the particular and singular history of that community, Weston, Massachusetts. But it also explains the processes at work in other towns not nearly as wealthy as Weston.
This working paper is part of the research project, The Evolution of Residential Land Use Regulation in Greater Boston, carried out under the auspices of Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies and the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston. The goals of this project are to identify and understand the reasons that towns and cities in eastern Massachusetts have made Greater Boston a highly regulated urban region and to help devise residential planning policies that advance general, rather than parochial, interests, and what some call "Smart Growth." In particular, the project aims to discover precisely why and under what circumstances particular communities adopted residential land use regulations by studying the evolution of regulations in residential real estate development in four different Boston-area communities and in the legal interpretation of the state laws of Massachusetts.

Next issue will mark the second year of V/FT. A birthday, if you like; an Awakening Day, in the usages of some of the cultures of the eleventh millennium AT. (After all, if your thoughts flow in silicon, or glide on the very stuff of bulk and brane, "birth" is but a metaphor. But every sophont has a day of Awakening, no matter the computronium which bears their thought…)
So. In time honored tradition, a wish list:
More authors: We've had a splendid group of authors, who've contributed to V/FT's initial success. I would love to see more of you join them.
More Media: So far, no one's been minded to contribute art, images, poetry, music, movies. Those, too, are ways to tell stories; we'd like to see them here. In fact, look to next issue; we're hoping to do something to encourage that.
More (And Different) Content: We'd like to see more reviews of other books, movies, games. We'd like to see reviews of conventions — not just SF conventions, but transhumanist and futurist conventions. We'd like to see articles on scientific research and breakthroughs. We'd like to see some of you write these articles.
More Readers: If we keep writing and publishing, they will come. But now, with a year under our belts, I'd like to invite you to start spreading the word. Soon, we will have a publicity section for V/FT. You will be able to go there, download flyers and circulars, print a few copies, and bring them with you to the next convention you attend. We'll put together banners for your weblogs and websites, so you can link to us. We'll host the OA Primer as well, so people who become interested through the stories can get a sense of the scope of this marvelous project. We'll give you something to share; please go ahead, and do just that!
Here's to another year of V/FT. Our first year was marvelous; may the second year be even better!

You can't beat a convincing dinosaur impression. Add it to jaunty songs about genial ghosts and female centaurs and you have a winning formula. An unconventional one but it worked for oddball duo Hill & Weedon — Robin Hill and Theo Weedon — who bagged 2013's Musical Comedy Award on Friday.
There was more potential on display in the final. Runners-up Jonny & the Baptists was another twosome with bags of energy and inventive rhymes, bemoaning the demise of traditional bars and pining for ale served in jugs and music by Suggs. Next place went to turbo-charged Tina Turner impressionist Tina Tea Lady, who was simply the third best.
Lucy Cox, Steve Seller and I Am, I Am were also deserving finalists boasting quirky worldviews. Though the oddest aspect of the event was that Best Newcomer Award winner Jenny Bede merited a placing in the main contest for her polished rap suggesting umpteen boyfriends for Rhianna who might be preferable to Chris Brown.
After the competition concluded the night's double headliners were The Brett Domino Trio who had a deadpan line in sending up geeky electropop and Isy Suttie, who combined wit, whimsy and an impression of Lady Gaga trapped down a well. A fitting end to an evening showcasing a seemingly bottomless well of musical talent.Reuse content

While the .44 Special is an adequate cartridge & possesses the necessary man- stopping power to stop the action, why waste the buck$ on .44 Special Ammo when simply "downloading" the .44 Mag cartridge to an acceptable level (velocity) will accomplish the same thing. Wrist jarring Rhino Rollers at 1450 fpc are simply not necessary, when a load producing 1100-1150 fpc will do the trick and fill the gap left between the energy produced by the 9mm, .357 Mag,45 ACP, and .44 Special. Both Hornady & Federal manufacture such factory "Defensive Loads" in .44 Mag that also falls within these limits & produce a good "man stopper" without the recoil of full house loads.

I regularly pocket carry my Taurus 44 magnum with corbon DPX 44 specials. You just need big enough pockets!!
IMO, if I were going to carry the weight/size of a .44mag gun, magazine and rounds, I would load it with low- to mid-power magnum hollow points and train with those.
The difference? .44spl is about like a fairly weak 9mm (albeit fatter at .429 vs .355), whereas .44mag is well proven to have both sufficient expansion and penetration to take down aggressive two-legged animals.

I have a Smith & Wesson .44 Special revolver. It is a fixed sight, six-shot, N-Frame gun with a 5-inch barrel. It is too large for many types of concealed carry but is dandy for home defense use. The .44 Special is one of the very best cartridges for self defense. It throws large, heavy lead. Semi-wadcutter bullets are a good choice.

The Meaning of Life — as Told to me by an Inebriated Science Fiction Writer In New Jersey
I should mention that, as a science fiction writer, I can comment authoritatively and finally on the true meaning of life.
Fifteen billion years ago an unexplained and inexplicable event created all the matter and energy, time and space in the universe apparently out of nothing and for no reason. However, the precise nature of this event allowed primordial plasma to expand, cool, and form the nebulae which one day would give rise to the galaxy, especially one rather small G-type star in the outer arm of an otherwise insignificant galaxy: by yet another coincidence — if coincidence it was — the third planet from that star had the exact chemical conditions to give rise, first to life, then to intelligent life, then to civilization, then to technical civilization.
Unbeknown to the dwellers on that small insignificant sphere, all galaxies, including this one, are teaming not merely with life, but with ultra-intelligent life, but this world is strictly quarantined for reasons that will soon become apparent.
You see, the first experiments in time travel have already taken place.
H.G. Wells is the first man to have crossed the time barrier, and beheld the grim and final destiny to which the race of homo sapiens is doomed, to devolve into subhuman Eloi and grisly cannibal Moorlocks.
Olaf Stapledon was the second man to cross the barrier of the abyss of eternity, and he beheld, as if in a vision, the eighteen separate human species which will rise and fall after our species, the First Men, devolves into Moorlocks. A second human species, made of finer and nobler character by their descent into subterranean savagery, will again rise, and devote their mechanical knowledge to the investigation of the cosmos.
Mr. Stapledon's movements in the time stream were of course detected by the later generations of time travelers, including the agents of the world-system of the Third Men known as Nexx in the Eighty-First Century, and the merciless disembodied sub-aquatic superbrains of the One Hundred and Seventh Century, the so-called Fourth Men.
Alfred Elton van Vogt is the final time traveler that later generations of time wardens will permit to bypass the timespace barrier, and he was told in strictest confidence the secret of the meaning of life by the Ultimate Intellect which rules the otherwise barren and lifeless world once called earth in the time of the Eighteenth Men, beneath a reddish, giant and dying star once called Sol. The men of that era have complied themselves into a single mental system, using all the resources of their dying planet to do so.
What Mr. Van Vogt was told, years ago he told his fellow writer Harlan Ellison. Mr. Ellison during an evening of unfortunate inebriation told me these dire secrets when I met him at the Science Fiction Writers of America mansion in New Jersey.
He and I are both confirmed fans of AE van Vogt, and we were toasting his memory. I was frankly expressing my admiration that Mr. Ellison had put forth the effort to get Mr. van Vogt his long overdue Grand Masters award. As the evening progressed, the other drinkers in the bar retired, and soon we two were alone, and both in somewhat of high spirits.
It started innocently enough. We were discussing our favorite Van Vogt monsters, the Coeurl, the Ixtl, the Rull, and I made the offhand remark that with such superhuman nasties in outer space, we humans are lucky the universe is mostly empty of intelligent life.
Mr. Ellison fixed me with his eye. "Empty? What makes you say so?" And there was a look of agitation there. At the time, I put it down to his somewhat peppery temper, but now I know it had a deeper source.
The conversation turned to the Drake Equation, and the estimates that, even if the number of stars with life bearing planets is microscopic, and even if the number of life bearing planets that bring forth spacefaring civilization is submicroscopic, the number of stars in this local arm of the galaxy alone is so astronomical (the pun was his, not mine) that surely we would have detected some sign of alien intelligence. It is not an unusual topic for fans of scientific speculation to discuss.
Mr. Ellison began swearing and cursing, saying that the Drake Equation was not just an underestimation, it was a f**cking dumbsh*t underestimation. It did not take into account the number of artificial races, specifically constructed to fill non-earthlike worlds, that a forerunner race could make to populate the stars at a geometrical rate of increase.
(Mr. Ellison emphasized this point by poking my chest and demanding I pay for the next round of drinks. I was happy to do so, fascinated by what he was saying, and eager to hear more.)
And if each forerunner race created as many new races as its technology permitted, and if as Ellison insisted, the technology level itself increases geometrically as each new species encounters or creates new species in turn, the rate of increase is more than geometrical, more than asymptotic. The limiting factor to growth is only the total amount of matter energy in a solar system, and how much needed to be expended to send a self-replicating machine or organism to the next nearest few thousand solar systems.
No nonsense about cryogenic sleep or carrying air in bottles: a truly advanced race were merely design its deep space crosses races to be adapted to the needs of the journey, long lived enough to outlast the eons slower than light travel required. When they arrived at the target, the nearest few gas giants could be dismantled for parts to create the next generation of races. There was no need to be out of contact with the home worlds in the meanwhile, since vacuum could not disperse laser-carried data streams.
I was skeptical, but he neatly skewered my skepticism with a few back-of-the-envelope type calculations on a bar napkin. I remember this because I handed him my ballpoint pen.
He spoke with conviction, not as if he were speculating or daydreaming. He knew.
Every star has between ten to a hundred inhabited planets, and each planet has six to twenty intelligent races occupying their various landmasses, oceans, and cloud levels; not to mention energy-based intelligences dwelling inside the fires of the sun, or the surfaces of neutron stars; or more exotic intelligences dispersed throughout nebulae, and occupying worldlets, centaurs, asteroids and cometary bodies. And they were all at a much more advanced level of mechanical, energetic, and telepathic technology than ours.
"The stars are crammed! They are packed in like sardines up there!" he shouted. Then, sadly, as if to himself. "And no one else will ever get to see them. Poor Van!"
Trying to ignore the strangeness of this remark, trying to pretend that this was still a normal conversation, I next asked why (as if we were merely still discussing a speculation) why, if all he said were so, we have never heard the least whisper of any radio signals from any of these civilizations?
He made a shushing gesture. "If you knew the meaning of life — the reason behind it all — I could tell you. Van Vogt knew! HG Wells knew!"
"Is the secret of life Dianetics? I had heard that Mr. van Vogt was interested in…."
"Wright! Don't be an asshole. Or at least be a smaller one! You'd stink less!"
Mr. Ellison pulled me close, and in breaths bleary with beer fumes he spilled out the secret of the universe to me in short, frantic sentences.
He told me a time machine is almost absurdly easy to construct with four gyroscopes, an electromagnet, a moebius strip, and a bicycle frame. Anyone handy with normal house hold tools can make one in his garage.
Ellison took up a napkin from the bar and with a few clear swift strokes of my ballpoint pen (which he still has), he sketched for me the diagram of how to construct a time machine.
The principle is quite simple: the action of the gyroscopes prevents motion in any of three dimensions, and the electromagnetic field of the solenoid is therefore forced, thanks to the twist in the moebius strip, through a prism into the fourth dimension. The field moves the iron frame of the machine a certain number of increments in the time direction, taking the gyroscopes with it, and the process repeats as long as the power to spin the gyroscopes remains.
I asked why, if it were so simple to build, there were not time machines for sale in every bookstore and bicycle shop?
He told me anyone from our period of time attempting to make one will find what seem to be odd coincidences, accidents, including deadly accidents, will always somehow interrupt the investigation before the final moebius coil is complete: this is due to the vigilance of the Nexx Time-Sweepers of AD 8000 and the World-Brains of AD 10600.
The Time-Sweepers have all the time in the world, centuries, to plan the accidents, and can go back to any previous point in time and shift one link in the chain of cause and effect, no matter how small, to undo the event. And if their results are less than perfect the first few hundred times they try, later expeditions of later generations can try again a thousand times a thousand times.
I smiled at this revelation, and this seemed to enrage him. With many an oath and a blistering curse, dragging me by the tie to my feet, Mr. Ellison took me to the basement of the mansion and showed me a mechanism stored there, but warned me not to touch it.
No one had apparently touched it for many a year, not even to clean it. It was draped with dry spiderwebs and crusts of oil.
It was a crude and unimpressive-looking mechanism, consisting of little more than a seat, two levers and a dial connected to a set of gyroscopes wrapped in electrical wire, and connected to a piezoelectric bar no bigger than my thumb.
The construction had curious details, such as decorations on some of the brass struts, the imprecision of the rivets, the whirling governor of a small steam cylinder and the chain to spin the gyroscopes, all of which gave it a Victorian look that was unmistakable.
It looked like an amateurish, poorly made thing. And yet a sensation of dread overcome me when I looked at it.
For it did not look well made enough, not slick enough, to be a prop or a joke. It looked like something a British middle class gent of the last century could have made in his garden shed, a man who knew how to putter with tools, and had the idle time to study the mechanical sciences. A man, for example, like Herbert George Wells.
"That is the Time Machine," I said. And I backed up from the damn thing until a dusty shelf holding old paint cans poked me in the back, and I could back no more.
Ellison nodded grimly. Then, in the airless basement, he told me the rest of the secret.
Because of the invention of the time machine technology here on Earth, our world is the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail, the paradox planet! Three events make our world unique among all the worlds of the cosmos.
First, on our world and none other, intelligent life arose of itself by time paradox, rather than being created by a natural process of evolution. A time sorcerer named Sise-Neg from the 31st Century propelled himself back to the African plains in the early paleolithic. His method of time travel relied on psychic powers to produce the electromagnetochronic displacement field out of the ambient earth current, rather use than the more solid and trustworthy moebius coil of Wells' invention. When the field passed through one of the periodic shifts in the global magnetic field polarization, the ambient current failed, and therefore left Sise-Neg stranded.
Sise-Neg entertained himself in his exile by experimenting on Neanderthal and prehuman eugenics, crossbreeding until he created the Adam and seven sisters of Eve our current knowledge of genetics has detected.
Humanity would have, of course, remained at the hunter-gatherer level for all time had not Martin Padway (who accidentally fell through a time-wake caused by the passage of the million-year chronoliner from the era of the Fifth Men) become stranded in the past. Padway, also called Prometheus, befriending a local maiden of a tribe of Nile-dwelling savages, taught our ancestors the basics of agriculture, fire-making, and writing.
Second, our world is naturally lifeless and has no ability to bring forth life of itself. The existence of microscopic one-cellular life in the primal seas of earth was due to the wreckage of a time machine. The dead body of a time traveler named Stephen Crane collapsed into the primal seas, and the microorganisms in his body, as he decayed, started the evolutionary process. It is suspected that Stephen Crane's death was arranged by the Nexxal assassins, so that their own time line would come into existence.
Third, in the year 4784 of Isher, a man named McAllister from 1951 was (or will be) accidentally swept up into the operation of a time energy machine which reverses entropy. This is a side effect of a deadly struggle between the imperium of Isher and the Weapon Shops, both of whom unwisely attempted to use time machine technology rather than face defeat.
McAllister was, or will be, sent seesawing back in time gathering ever larger amounts of matter-energy into his disintegrating body with each swing. Eventually, once he has gathered all the energy in the universe and brought it to the origin point of timespace at the moment and location of the Big Bang, he will not observe, but will witness the formation of the cosmos.
All other intelligent races of outer space are careful never to interfere with any of the events, no matter how small, taking place on our world, since any smallest change, even something as little as stepping on a butterfly, would not only effect election results and lead to Republican victories, but could abort the events that give rise to the time travelers Crane, Padway, Sise-Neg and most importantly McAllister.
The time events that give rise to the creation of life on Earth, the rise of homo sapiens, and of Mediterranean civilization, of course, are all needed in order for McAllister to come into being, and for him to return to the origin and accidentally create the energy-illusion we called timespace.
It should go without saying that the other races of the myriad other worlds, since they were not created by the fumbling and inexperienced meddling with ape-genes by the amateurish Sise-Neg, are immensely older and wiser than mankind, and therefore none of them are foolish enough to experiment with time travel. Their superior brains can detect both past and future events perfectly, and so the temptation to interfere with the course of events or to create a time paradox is unimaginable to them.
We and we alone have that dubious distinction, since we are smart enough to reproduce the time-bypass effect, but not wise enough to leave well enough alone.
It is for their own self preservation that the cosmic minds of the alien stars prevent any interference with our world, and maintain strict radio silence, hiding all evidence of their countless billions of civilizations.
There are, for example, three intelligent species living on the Moon alone, the Va-Gas and U-Gas and the Senelites under the Grand Lunar; and nine races dwell on Mars, including Barsoomians and Malacandrines, Therns and Pfifltriggi, but all are careful to hypnotize astronauts and falsify recordings and readings from probes we send, or to retreat beneath their planetary crusts or the behind the veil of the unseen in order to preserve the illusion that man is alone in the cosmos. We have all noticed how oddly John Glen and other returning astronauts behave. This is due to the side effect of space hypnosis.
Of course the higher races move among us in disguise, and have contact with the races living in the hollow interior of our world, and call upon them from time to time to use their Vril power, an ultimate form of spiritual electro-gravitic force, to erase memories, sink ships, or cause 'Tunguska' type events to abolish the evidence of anything that threatens to alter the foretold events of the time stream.
The meaning of life, and the purpose of the earth, is to give rise to all these experiments and events in the future, in order that the past, and the universe itself, should be created.
All human religion, philosophy, and investigation into the meaning of life is, of course, carefully monitored and curtailed by the superior intelligences of the remote future and the distant stars so that these investigations do not create any events unforeseen or that might derail the established self-creating past and future.
Why, you may wonder, are science fiction writers aware of the true meaning of life, when men of much greater genius and spiritual stature, thinkers and philosophers and theologians, are kept in ignorance of this great truth?
It is not due to any cruelty or love of irony by the superior races of the later eras, but merely to the fact that Wells and Stapledon first stumbled across the secret, and their published results were taken as fiction by unbelieving editors and in incredulous public.
We can be safely told, because no one will believe us.
That is the dreadful secret revealed to me by Mr. Ellison. Naturally, I would not have believed so fantastical a tale had I not seen the time machine with my own eyes.
Even then I was skeptical. The names he whispered, Sise-Neg, Padway, and Crane, I recognized from stories by Alfred Bester or L Sprague de Camp. The time agents of Nexx I recognized from a book by Keith Laumer. So I laughed and demanded that Mr. Ellison confess he was merely having me on. Surely it was a jest! It was not as if these science fiction writers had any sort of records or unpublished manuscripts from Wells or Stapledon that they mined for names or ideas, or that they used the time machine themselves.
He fixed me with his bloodshot eyes and assured me it was merely a joke he was having at my expense.
Nothing else could have so completely convinced me of the utter and horrific truth of what he revealed. Suddenly the closeness of the basement, the rusted and angular shape of the Wells time machine sitting under its cobwebs seemed stifling and oppressive. My head was pounding with drink and whirling with dread. I pushed myself free from Ellison, and ran up the crooked stairs, flung myself out into the cool midnight air, staggering and breathing in deep gulps.
Behind me, there came a flare of red-gold brilliance, brighter than the glare of electricity, flashing through the basement windows and throwing blood-colored wedges of light across the lawn. With horror the words and the warning returned to me. Ellison had said — practically his last words! — that any attempt to investigate these matters would bring instant retaliation from the stars or from our own remote future, deadly retaliation from beings willing to do anything needed to preserve their own existence, and the existence of the sidereal universe.
Back I ran, down the stairs and to the door. As I took hold of the handle of the door I heard an exclamation, oddly truncated at the end, and a click and a thud. A gust of air whirled round me as I opened the door, and from within came the sound of broken glass falling on the floor. Harlan Ellison was not there. I seemed to see a ghostly, indistinct figure sitting in a whirling mass of black and brass for a moment – a figure so transparent that the bench behind with its sheets of drawings was absolutely distinct; but this phantasm vanished as I rubbed my eyes. The time machine had gone. Save for a subsiding stir of dust, the further end of the basement was empty. A pane of the basement windows had, apparently, just been blown in.
One cannot choose but wonder. Will he ever return? It may be that he swept back into the past, and fell among the blood-drinking, hairy savages of the Age of Unpolished Stone; into the abysses of the Cretaceous Sea; or among the grotesque saurians, the huge reptilian brutes of the Jurassic times.
Or was what I had seen the operation of some fantastic weapon operated by intelligences vast and cool and unsympathetic from some remote location on the moon or beyond Arcturus, set merely to obliterate anyone attempting to operate the forbidden machine?
The meaning of life, it seems, is not something that it is safe for living men to inquire.
And yet I still have, drawn in a few, short, clear strokes in a bar napkin, the diagram for building a time machine of my own. While I sit and type these words, I can hear my children playing downstairs, and I can see the sunlight shining through my study windows, and I rejoice in the goodness of life. It is only at midnight, when no one is near, that I take out the napkin, study the diagram, and vow to myself that someday I must plumb the secrets of time. Perhaps my actions are ones the universe will require to bring the universe into being? Perhaps the star beings will spare me?
Perhaps I, I, will be allowed to see what other eyes have never looked upon? It that not worth any risk? Surely it was not for no reason this diagram on this stained napkin came into my hands!
Always, I remind myself of my wife and children and tell myself to burn the diagram.
And always, with trembling fingers, I fold the withered napkin carefully and replace it in my wallet.

Click on the pdf link on the right for the Year in Review book for volleyball - Year in Review (ISSUU)
MARSHALL, Texas – A new school record for wins and a run to the American Southwest Conference tournament championship game marked a 2013 magical year for the East Texas Baptist University volleyball team. With 32 wins and nine players named as All-ASC performers, head coach Lyndsay Mashe is looking forward to more success next season.
"Playing in the ASC tournament was such a great time," Mashe said. "I think our team peaked at the right time. They played incredibly well and I think we learned a tough lesson: going through the loser's bracket is an extremely hard thing to do. I loved the heart and soul that I saw from them on Saturday was incredible. We are only losing one senior, and she is a big one, but we are excited about what we can do next year."
ETBU had two eight-match winning streaks during the season and beat every team in the conference tournament. In the ASC tournament, ETBU won in the first round, than lost to Mary Hardin-Baylor, falling into the loser's bracket. From there, they made a run all the way to the conference championship 'what if' game, where they lost to tournament champion Hardin-Simmons.
ETBU finished the season leading the conference in attack percentage (.254) and blocks (346). They also finished second in the ASC in kills (1934) and blocks-per-set (2.3). Additionally they were third in the conference in kills-per-set (12.3) and digs (2454).
Kolby Sharp, Adaeze Elonu, Mallory Sanders, Hannah Jones, Kayla Taylor, Melanie Moyer, Nicole Buzzard, Kassie Freitag and Madelynn Kinsel all earned ASC awards for their performance during the season.
Sharp, who was a first-team all-ASC selection, an AVCA all-region first team selection and an AVCA honorable mention all-American, finished fifth in the NCAA and led the conference in hitting percentage (.393) and finished tied for third in blocks-per-set (1.03) and was the team leader in kills with 367 and second on the team in blocks with 157.
Elonu, the other first team selection, was third in the conference in hitting percentage (.303) and second in blocks-per-set (1.08) and led the team in blocks, setting a new single-season school record with 166.
Sanders was the ASC's freshman of the year and was also a second-team all-ASC selection after finishing ninth in the conference in kills-per-set (2.67) and second in aces-per-set (0.48). She was second on the team in overall kills with 352, third on the team in digs with 303 and tied for fourth on the team in blocks (58).
Jones was a third-team all-ASC selection and finished eighth in the ASC in digs-per-set (4.26) and was the teams overall digs leader with a total of 635.
Taylor, also a third-team selection, finished seventh in the conference in assists-per-set (5.66), led the team in assists with 866 and finished second in digs with 339.
Moyer was an all-ASC honorable mention selection after finishing fifth on the team in kills (228), fifth in aces (16) and fourth in digs (298).
Buzzard was second on the team in assists (694) and fifth in digs (259) and also earned all-ASC honorable mention honors.
Freitag, a first-team performer last year, was selected to the honorable mention team this year and finished third on the team in kills (349) and tied for fourth in blocks (58).
Kinsel, the final all-ASC honorable mention selection finished the year with 204 kills and 89 blocks, which was third on the team.
When asked about how this season will help with next year, Mashe replied: "It gives us a confidence that we were sketchy about having this year. We thought we had a good team, but didn't really know it. Now they have the confidence to know that we can beat anybody and that we can compete well in this conference. They are ready to get to work in the offseason and very motivated for next season already."
Listen to Coach Mashe's Podcast about the ASC Tournament
NOTES from 2013
32 Program Wins – New Record
This season proved to be one of the best seasons, ever, in the history of the program as ETBU won a record 32 matches. They defeated Schreiner University, 3-0, on November 2nd for the 27th win to break the record. ETBU went on to win five more matches winning five of their next six matches for 32 wins. In 2013, they also recorded 17 sweeps in 32 wins. The old record of 26 was set in 2003, a team that head coach Lyndsay Mashe played on.
ASC Tournament
The 2013 American Southwest Conference tournament ended up being a very exciting one for ETBU. ETBU, who was the #3 seed overall, set three new ASC records in the tournament, defeated all five teams in the tournament, and played for the championship. ETBU is the first team to defeat the winner's bracket team and force the elimination match playing three matches in one day. ETBU fell to Hardin-Simmons, 3-1, but had the Cowgirls on the edges of elimination in set four. ETBU was up 24-21 in set four but ran out of steam as Hardin-Simmons scored the next five points for the 26-24 match win.
ETBU opened the tournament with a 3-1 win over Concordia-Texas before falling to #2 seed Mary Hardin-Baylor, 3-1. On Friday, ETBU bounced back with a 3-0 victory over Texas-Tyler and then eliminated #1 seed and host Texas-Dallas, 3-1. Saturday brought three matches as ETBU took a 3-1 win over Mary Hardin-Baylor and then upset Hardin-Simmons, 3-1, before falling in the elimination match.
Mallory Sanders and Kolby Sharp were named to the all-tournament team and ETBU broke tournament records for matches played (7), sets played (27), and wins (5). They also tied the ASC record for wins in a season at 32.
AVCA All-American
Kolby Sharp became program's first-ever All-American when she was named to the AVCA honorable mention team. She received the award after being voted onto the AVCA All-Region first team as a sophomore. For the season, she finished fifth in hitting percentage in the NCAA and led the ASC. This was her seventh award this year as she started the being voted the ASC's Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Her awards are below:
AVCA All-American honorable mention
ASC Preseason Defensive Player of the Year
All-ASC First-Team
ASC All-Tournament
AVCA All-Region First-Team
ASC Offensive Player of the Week
(Sept. 10, Sept. 17)
ASC Awards
Being one of the top ASC teams in 2013, ETBU had nine players awarded post-season awards. For the second year in a row, ETBU had the ASC Freshman of the Year in Mallory Sanders.

Single Season Record/Top 5
In just her second year on the team, junior Adaeze Elonu broke the single season record for blocks with 166. The old record of 135 was set in 1999 by Amy Carlson. Kolby Sharp also broke the record but came in second this year with 157 blocks behind Elonu.
Freshman Mallory Sanders made the 50-ace club with 64 aces for third place. She just slipped past Allison Castillo's 60 from 2001 and was 12 away from Arden Tunnell's 76 from 2002.
Hannah Jones finished the season with 635 digs to become a member of the 500 dig club. Her 635 digs is fifth best in a season and is just 115 less than the single season record of 750 set by Jill Boyd in 2007.
Career Top 10
Several players have moved up on the top 10 list this past season with blocks record in contention to be broken in 2014. Adaeze Elonu has 271 career blocks which is third all-time. The record is held by Casey Hugman (2001-04) with 365. Kolby Sharp is fifth all-time with 260 blocks and is contention of also breaking the record.
When it comes to career kills, three players are currently in the top 10. Kassie Freitag, Ashley Lindsey, and Kolby Sharp. Kassie is eighth with 741 followed by Lindsey in ninth with 676 and Sharp in 10th at 657. The career record is 2,015 set by Arden Tunnell set from 2002-05.
Hannah Jones and Melanie Moyer are in the top 10 for digs. Jones has 1,067 digs for sixth place and has a chance to move up to second place in 2014 as Robin Cook has 1,524 digs. Moyer is in eighth place with 1,037.
Two players have made their name in assists in Kayla Taylor and Nicole Buzzard. Taylor, who has played for three years as a setter, has 2,281 assists for third place. She will most likely finish third all-time as Allison Castillo has 4,356 assists in second place. Buzzard, a freshman, finished with 694 kills.
Winning Streaks
ETBU reeled off two eight-match winning streaks in 2013. After starting the season off 1-3, ETBU won eight straight going undefeated at the UT-Tyler Tournament (Sept. 6-7) and the Rhodes College Tournament (Sept. 13-14). Of those eight matches, four of them were swept, 3-0. The second eight-match winning streak came from September 24 through October 5th. It started with a 3-0 win over Centenary and then three more wins at the ASC Pod in Longview, Texas, over Mississippi College, LeTourneau University, and Texas-Tyler. They then traveled to Shreveport, La., for their second win over Centenary in a week followed by going undefeated in Ornelas Gym. Hosting the ASC Pod, ETBU swept Sul Ross State and Concordia-Texas and then gave Mary Hardin-Baylor their first ASC loss of the year, 3-2, to end the winning streak.
Double Doubles
Five different players recorded double-doubles this year for ETBU. Kayla Taylor lead the way with 12 double-doubles followed by Melanie Moyer who had 10. Mallory Sanders added nine double-doubles and Nicole Buzzard had seven. Kassie Freitag added two double-doubles

WDR26 encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. Additionally we are shipping WDR26 Antibodies (27) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 2 out of 2 products:
WDR26 serves as a scaffold that fosters assembly of a specific signaling complex consisting of Gbetagamma, PI3Kbeta and AKT2 (show AKT2 Proteins) in breast cancer.
The WDR26 gene was differentially methylated in monozygotic twins discordant for depressive disorder.
WDR26 functions as a scaffolding protein to promote PLCbeta2 membrane translocation and interaction with Gbetagamma, thereby enhancing PLCbeta2 activation in leukocytes.
WDR26 is a novel Gbetagamma-binding protein that is required for the efficacy of Gbetagamma signaling and leukocyte migration
these data suggest that MIP2 (show CXCL2 Proteins) may participate in the progression of cell proliferation in H9c2 cells.
WDR26 may act as a negative regulator in MAPK (show MAPK1 Proteins) signaling pathway and play an important role in cell signal transduction.
The results of this study indicated that WDR26 was up-regulated by oxidative stress and played a key role in H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cell death, which may be mediated by the down-regulation of AP-1 (show FOSB Proteins) transcriptional activity.
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Public Land Policy: Babbitt Is Finding The BalanceEmily T. Smith
It's definitely not business as usual on the nation's public lands. In a Mar. 16 interview with BUSINESS WEEK, Interior Secretary Bruce E. Babbitt outlined his plan for managing his department's land, a plan that also represents the Administration's goals for the 500 million acres of government-owned property. It will, he says, "strike a balance between resource production and environmental protection," after years of resource exploitation.
In fact, the plan overturns a legacy of what critics contend is misguided management (table). Babbitt intends to sharply cut subsidies for grazing, logging, mining, and water use, while modestly lifting recreation fees. Then he wants to adopt ecosystems management, which aims to preserve habitats to prevent the decline of species and avoid conflicts between development and conservation. When nature meets development head-on, he says, protecting habitat and wildlife will win.
FEE HIKES. Yes, these proposals would impose added costs to industry and, short-term, curtail some development. But in the long run, they offer a chance to improve the health of public lands and provide reliable harvests of renewable resources. They may avoid disruptive conflicts such as the one over the endangered Northern Spotted Owl. And given the budget deficit, why should taxpayers subsidize those who use public lands?
Change won't come easily. Since the 19th century, the government has undercharged users who take commodities from public lands. Recently, recreational demands on public lands have soared. Yet in 1990, the four major land-management agencies spent $4.6 billion but brought in only $1.65 billion, according to the Wilderness Society, an environmental group. As a result, some national parks suffer from overcrowding and pollution. Others endure deteriorating infrastructures and declining wildlife.
Eliminating what amounts to subsidies is essential. The Administration would phase them out in a plan it says would bring in $1 billion over five years, much of it for improving infrastructure and restoring habitats. Commercial users, however, bear the brunt of the increases, while recreational users, who pay next to nothing, escape with tiny hikes. That's a missed opportunity: Visitor fees cover just 7% of operating costs for the national parks, making them a good target for hikes.
Although ecosystems management shows promise for improving habitats, initially officials are likely to lower timber harvests and reduce grazing. The Forest Service, which adopted the approach last year, says it will slash clear-cutting on its 191 million acres by 70% from 1988 levels. Ecosystems management, which seeks to improve the condition of key natural elements, species, and processes in a habitat, will mean big changes in logging operations. That means more selective cutting, with loggers often taking smaller trees or different mixes of timber. In the long run, land managers say it should be possible to boost the productivity of grazing lands and extend logging to areas now closed to it.
UNTRAMMELED. Babbitt's plans are sound in theory. In practice, they face economic, political, and scientific difficulties. Their effectiveness depends on still unclear implementation details. Nevertheless, some of the proposals are likely to fly. Babbitt predicts Congress will move to end mining subsidies this year. Even commercial users who oppose fee hikes admit Babbitt's philosophy is in line with public wishes.
Babbitt will find out just how closely in line on Apr. 2, when the Clinton Administration convenes the Forest Summit in Portland, Ore. "We will find a correct balance between timber harvest and the integrity of the ecosystem," he says. It's none too soon. Public lands are among the last untrammeled areas in a nation that can't afford to squander resources, habitat, or jobs.

The Plot
Based on a novel by the 19th-century romantic fabulist E.T.A. Hoffmann, The Nutcracker weaves a magical tale of holiday adventure. Clara, the story's heroine, receives a nutcracker from her godfather, a wizardly toymaker named Drosselmeyer. Sneaking downstairs to see the toy after everyone else has gone to bed, Clara suddenly finds herself caught in the middle of a pitched battle between the toys and an army of mice. After saving the nutcracker with a well-thrown shoe to the Mouse King's head, Clara and her now-living prince venture into the Land of Snow and the Land of Sweets to celebrate amid the dances of nimble snowflakes, the regal Sugar Plum Fairy, and seasonally confused vampires.
Dramatis Personae
The Oregon Ballet Theatre has cast about 100 students from its school, who dance in lavish costumes on polished sets that shift from the realistic family home of Clara and her brother to a succession of fantasy realms. Their characters range from the delicate to the dramatic, from the tiniest ballerinas gliding in golden angel wings and robes to the fuzzy but slightly menacing giant mice. San Francisco Ballet School alum Julia Rowe steps into the show's most glamorous role as the Sugar Plum Fairy.
The Music
Tchaikovsky's score features some of the most recognizable tunes in the repertoire, repurposed beyond the ballet world in works including Disney's Fantasia, which naturally chose to illustrate the music's delicate beauty with dancing mushrooms and leaping radishes. Notable sections include the "Waltz of the Snowflakes," which floats weightlessly above the angelic voices of a youth choir, and the second act's medley of exotic national dances, including a Spanish bolero and Russian Trepak. The music-box-like theme of the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" springs from a celesta, a new instrument Tchaikovsky came across in Paris and hurriedly inserted into the score before his musical rivals could make use of its haunting, bell-like sound. Six of the Oregon Ballet Theatre's performances will bring the score vividly to life via a full orchestra.
History Lesson
Initially unpopular when it premiered in Russia, The Nutcracker languished for decades with a reputation as one of Tchaikovsky's lesser works. Then, in the 1950s, the ballet's status as a fixture of the holiday season began to grow as suddenly as Clara's magic Christmas tree when renowned American choreographer George Balanchine staged it for the New York Ballet. Balanchine's elegant staging remains the most popular, alternating between breathtaking displays of balletic mastery by soloists and duos, and large-scale set pieces that fill the stage with luminous costumes.
Due to security restrictions, G-Passes must be printed out and presented in person at the event. They cannot be redeemed through Groupon's mobile app.
Oregon Ballet Theatre
Since debuting in 1989, the Oregon Ballet Theatre has built its reputation on two seemingly opposed elements: strict balletic classicism and newly commissioned works. Now the theatre enters a new era under artistic director Kevin Irving, whose background spans both classical and contemporary performances. As a dancer, Irving appeared with scores of companies, including the Alvin Ailey Training Ensemble and Elisa Monte Dance Company. In 1994, he retired from the stage to take a position as ballet master and head of the artistic department with Nacho Duato's Compañia Nacional de Danza in Spain. Irving looks to take the Oregon Ballet Theatre to new heights, riffing off rave reviews from the Oregonian's Bob Hicks, who wrote that the theatre's Swan Lake is "a work of sumptuous geometric balances that echo the story's mirror-image theme."

Iona held on in the bottom of the the 10th after surrendering three two-run leads throughout the contest. Abbatiello put Iona on the board in the top of the first with an opposite field two-run home run, his team leading seventh of the season.
Rider came back with two in the bottom of the fifth on a no-out two run shot by RF Nick Wojnowski.
In the top of the seventh, the Maroon & Gold took a 4-2 lead on an RBI single by freshman LF Chris Leahy and Abbatiello's first of two sacrifce flys and third of four RBI in the contest.
The lead was quickly relinquished in the bottom of the seventh as the Broncs tied the score at four a piece.
Things looked good for the Gaels after the top of the ninth when the squad took a 6-4 lead. Two straight bases loaded walks by junior CF Paul Salerno and sophomore RF Keith Kenny put the visitors ahead.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Broncs scored two two-out tallies to force extra innings.
Leahy led off the top of the 10th with an infield single. The next batter, freshman 2B Mike Walraven reached base on a sacrifice bunt/fielder's choice. The two runners advanced on a wild pitch setting up Abbatiello's sac fly. Wernicki followed it up with an RBI single to give Iona the two run cushion.
Junior RHP Shawn Walsh (2-1) shut the door in the ninth to earn his second win of the season. Junior LHP Kevin Carmody did the bulk of the leg work on the mound, tossing 6.1 strong innings, allowing sevne hits, three runs and striking out two in the no decision.
Wernicki bounced back nicely from getting banged up in last weekend's series with Canisius, going 3-for-5 with a run scored an and RBI. Leahy, Salerno, sophomore SS Joe Lorenzo and rookie DH Andrew Passerelle each had two hits as the Gaels pounded out 14 in the victory. Abbatiello's four RBI led the squad.
Rider closer James Hayes (1-2) - who has recorded a league high 10 saves this season - took the loss. 3B Sean Olson went 3-for-5 to lead the Broncs offensively.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Former Patriot video employee Matt Walsh now claims he has videotapes of footage the Patriots asked him to film and will gladly hand it over if the NFL will offer full legal protection. Roger Goodell had said he would give Walsh legal protection but apparently it wasn't full protection. Walsh says he wants full immunity from any legal action taken if he releases the tapes.
The most likely charges levied against Walsh if he were to turn over any tapes is theft and breach of a legal contract. Walsh signed a confidentiality agreement when he left the Patriots organization in 2003 and not only would he be breaking that deal, but having the tapes themselves may be theft. It would be hard to fathom that Walsh would legally have the tapes in the first place.
My Take: More Spygate. This guy wants full immunity, which means he at least thinks he has something which could be damning to the Patriots but is outside the rules of law. As previously stated, there is no way in my mind that Walsh could have any tapes legally, and would be charged with theft if it turns out he has said tapes. As I've said before, I want to see what Walsh has even though it might be extremely devastating for the Patriots, but I hope the NFL doesn't grant this guy full immunity, which I don't even know how they would do in the first place. Why would the NFL say they would protect him from lawsuits and then it turns out he hands over tapes that don't show the Patriots doing anything else illegal and then having to shell out millions to the Pats in a civil suit? It's a very confusing situation that just seems to stick around.
