Study: Better TV might improve kids' behavior
SEATTLE (AP) — Teaching parents to switch channels from violent shows to educational TV can improve preschoolers' behavior, even without getting them to watch less, a study found.
The results were modest and faded over time, but may hold promise for finding ways to help young children avoid aggressive, violent behavior, the study authors and other doctors said.
"It's not just about turning off the television. It's about changing the channel. What children watch is as important as how much they watch," said lead author Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a pediatrician and researcher at Seattle Children's Research Institute.
The research was to be published online Monday by the journal Pediatrics.
The study involved 565 Seattle parents, who periodically filled out TV-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their child's behavior.
Half were coached for six months on getting their 3-to-5-year-old kids to watch shows like "Sesame Street" and "Dora the Explorer" rather than more violent programs like "Power Rangers." The results were compared with kids whose parents who got advice on healthy eating instead.
At six months, children in both groups showed improved behavior, but there was a little bit more improvement in the group that was coached on their TV watching.
By one year, there was no meaningful difference between the two groups overall. Low-income boys appeared to get the most short-term benefit.
"That's important because they are at the greatest risk, both for being perpetrators of aggression in real life, but also being victims of aggression," Christakis said.
The study has some flaws. The parents weren't told the purpose of the study, but the authors concede they probably figured it out and that might have affected the results. Continued...
Before the study, the children averaged about 1½ hours of TV, video and computer game watching a day, with violent content making up about a quarter of that time. By the end of the study, that increased by up to 10 minutes. Those in the TV coaching group increased their time with positive shows; the healthy eating group watched more violent TV.
Nancy Jensen, who took part with her now 6-year-old daughter, said the study was a wake-up call.
"I didn't realize how much Elizabeth was watching and how much she was watching on her own," she said.
Jensen said her daughter's behavior improved after making changes, and she continues to control what Elizabeth and her 2-year-old brother, Joe, watch. She also decided to replace most of Elizabeth's TV time with games, art and outdoor fun.
During a recent visit to their Seattle home, the children seemed more interested in playing with blocks and running around outside than watching TV.
Another researcher who was not involved in this study but also focuses his work on kids and television commended Christakis for taking a look at the influence of positive TV programs, instead of focusing on the impact of violent TV.
"I think it's fabulous that people are looking on the positive side. Because no one's going to stop watching TV, we have to have viable alternatives for kids," said Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital Boston.

Darn....I don't know.... should I??? I think I'll let it depend on the weather...
No, you don't have to, I was just wondering. Mostly cause I was wondering what to wear myself. I think I'll just go for jeans then. :)yalahii.
WOOT! The weekend is definitely drawing nearer now!yalahii.
*starts dancing*Yalahii.
*pouts* And then the dancing was over again. That was once again one day that was WAAAAAYY too short. No matter how tired I was when I got home. :)Lots of new dances like the Rondo (some very fast row dance that I can't quite remember), the Querenta (from Italy, that was taught to us by the Italian band that played at the ball) and a Gigo (although I have no idea how to spell that), also from Italy.And the Mazurka is way hard!Yalahii.
Whee, somebody else made a dance wiki!
*post hijacking*I can actually play "The foggy dew" with decorations and all and it sound great and I feel great and I will have to do more whistling!!!Sahi, if you look on youtube and then search for ryan dunst the first recording you see is of lesson one of the tinwhistle.... you can sooooo do this!!! It's an amazingly good way of starting the tinwhistle.. He is very good at explaining and the first lesson is really getting a start of the notes and the finger placing....I don't know if you have one, but if not, I have two D whistles and I will give you one of mine.... they're really easy to get going with.... and it will be a super-good way of starting wood instruments... before trying out the recorder!! Recorder will be much easier after you've tried the tinwhistle....Oh and I looooove the low whistle... the sound is sooooo gorgeous.... this is what I learned to play today:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuoOTmCjw7QI takes a while, without seeing the notes and just re-playing what I hear, but it's making so much sense!!!*end of post hijacking*
Libra, I love that song - thanks for sharing and I'm sure your own version is as beautiful!!
No I do not have a tin whistle. I only have that recorder we bought on Folkwoods two years ago. (And I actually called the music school last week, only they were closed for the holidays.)

Job hunting is a huge emotional rollercoaster for me, something I wouldn't wish on anyone else. I know that it is meant to be depressing and hard work but my problem with it is quite specific. I always like to know exactly what the next month or year of my life has in store. Not in too much detail but I want to know the general shape of things to come.
Having a bit too much of an imagination means that with every job I apply for I imagine myself in the role and get quite excited. Even when it's not a job I particularly want I still imagine it as being my future. So then when the inevitable rejection letter comes it feels like someone has ruined my plans and shaken up my entire future. I always have too much hope which means the blow puts me in a bad mood, even if it's a job I didn't particularly want, and sometimes those are the worst, you think 'if I can't get something I don't want, how will I ever get something I do want'. And there you are at the beginning of the cycle again applying for four or five jobs a day before you wait for another flow of rejections.
It isn't a very pleasant way to be living and I really hope this transitory period is nearly over, plus it would be really nice to spend a tenner without having to think long and hard about whether I can afford it.

Specials ... New Products ... All Products ... InformationFeedbackAfter driving by this place a thousand times I finally decided to stop in today out of curiosity- what a great shop! The store is the first floor of the residence and it is just packed with great German imports; chocolate, magazines, groceries, condiments, and lots more. They also have a deli and a bakery so you can get some authentic cakes and baked goods or just stop in for a juicy brat! There is also is little area just to hang out and enjoy a coffee, the staff is very helpful and I definitely will be coming back to try some authentic cakes and meats in the near future. Brian R. |

Cellebrite, which already offers mobile phone retailers a content transfer and fault diagnosis tool for smartphones, has announced what it's describing as "the industry's first and only Multi-Channel Diagnostics Solution". It's designed to improve customer service by offering consumers a variety of options if they believe their handset has developed a fault.
The handheld Cellebrite Touch diagnostic device was originally launched in 2011, enabling retail staff to automatically detect and correct issues by connecting the device to the customer's phone.

Advertising is already personal. Browse online for certain products and services – perhaps a new camera, a car hire deal or a pair of jeans – and you'll see the same items advertised when you visit other web sites.
Marketing technology company Pontis, based in the high-tech industrial zone of Ra'anana in central Israel, has a much more focussed perspective. It talks about a segment-of-one marketing approach… and it's just started working with O2 in the UK.

Color Tag (a throwback blog)
Saturday, August 19, 2006
Color tag
We had this great huge outside yard where we would have recess in summertime in my elementary school, P.S.3. Great school by the way... There was a whole floor downstairs where it was more of a gym sort of vibe, but the yard was really dope. I remember going back and visiting my school a couple of years ago and seeing how SMALL the yard was now. I used to think it was ginormous.. Anyways, that isn't what this is about.
Outside, we would play games like kickball, red rover, double dutch, shoot just about anything. I was never really an athletic kid, I always wanted to be, but I mostly sucked at sports. Later in junior high I would learn the skills to feign random sicknesses (is that a word?) and sit there like a log during PE. I was dope at dancing, but sports, always a klutz and the last kid picked on the team.
Well, no... it was myself and Rakesh, this tiny Indian kid with glasses...in the dictionary, he was the picture next to GEEK.
Sad, what was I then???
So, outside in the yard, one of the only games I participated in was tag. I would usually sit out the NORMAL tag, eh.. I might get into like freeze tag or something, but I was a slow ass runner too.
It was just me being humiliated and watching people race by me from base to base. I hardly ever caught anyone.
Fucking sad.
I also really enjoyed the whole process that preceeded the tag game, the elimination to who is it. Doggie, doggie diamond, or engine engine number 9.. We would always cheat at the end with that, 'my mother said that .....blah blah". I loved that shit. Except when I was it. I could pretty much judge how to count shit, so I would volunteer to lead the elimination a lot. Ok, I promise we are getting to the point here.
The game I ADORED, was a form of tag that we played called COLOR tag. No, no.. not like "Hey Black people RUN!".. No no.
The person who was "IT", would stand a certain fair distance from homebase and call out colors, which all of us had picked. Sometimes more than one person would pick the same color and they would take off for the other base. It was fun.
Now.. Why was this fun for me?
Well, I was a very large fan of the Crayola 64 box. I knew those colors man. I really did. What I lacked in athleticism, I made up for in creative areas. I was nowhere nice as an artist as my brother was, no ... But you know, I enjoyed using my Crayolas in a bright and coloriffic way. Plus, That damn sharpener at the back was addictive. I had nub crayons by after like... a week.
So...(point coming soon) being that I was an expert in the 64 box sequence of radiant wax, I transferred my knowledge of colors to the yard. Oh, yeah, those silly imbeciles would all pick colors like, GREEN, RED...duh. I didn't even stop to think that maybe they actually wanted to run and play.. lol.
I however, dug into my 64 box file and pulled out colors like "periwinkle"(my fav), "Salmon" or "Burnt Sienna". Yeah, no one ever called my damn color. That's right. Smugly at the end of the game when it was time to go in for class, those left on base would have to announce their colors. "MELON!! hahahHAHA!" I would shout. They would roll their eyes and walk away.
I had won!
I had won the game!
See, with me, it was more of a mind game.. HAHA! You dummies, wanna run around.. I'm an asshole. I think this is when I started to hone my (pause) asshole skills. I didn't give a flying fuck about running around that stupid yard. I was content to stand there being smug and going, "uhh..duh.. NOPE!" When they would call colors.
Thats my story, lol.
Oh yeah. Fuck 'Flesh' color.. Whose FLESH??? I would never use that color.
But Burnt Sienna was the one I used most because it looked like everyone I knew.
Aaaand SCENE!

the most annoying little losers in the world who look up to you and wont stop leaving you the fuck alone! little sister follows you tell her to fuck off, wont stop tell parents older sibling gets blame.
1. | Little Sister | ||
A woman who is officially affiliated with a fraternity. Little Sisters are usually given the fraternity's letters to wear after a sort of initiation, but they don't undergo a Pledge period and have limited rights and privileges within the frat. They are not considered to have equal standing with the Brothers and don't participate in rituals or attend meetings.Usually long time friends of the guys in the frat and/or the serious girlfriend of a Brother, a Little Sisters provide support to the fraternity. They assist in Rush events, bake cookies, and generally make the guys look good. After two years of baking brownies and cleaning up after the guys Kari was made a Little Sister of the fraternity.
2. | Little sister | ||
The most annoying beings on the face of the planet. They strive to drive you absolutely nuts. And when you get mad at them for driving you absolutly nuts, they have tantraums. -Big sister: ANNA!!! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY BRA???
-Little sister: Well I had to use SOMETHING to hang my teddy bear with! -Big sister:AAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAARRRRR RRRRRRRRRRGH!!! *hits little sister* -Little sister: *bursts into tears* NORA HIT ME FOR NO REASON!!! |
3. | Little Sister | ||
Little Sisters are genetically enhanced female children between the ages of about 4 and 7 who roam the halls of Rapture looking for ADAM. When they come across a body containing ADAM (an "Angel") they stop and using their syringe needles they extract the ADAM from the body. They then move on to the next body, sipping the blood/ADAM mix in their syringe needles. Once the blood/ADAM mix enters their bodies the ADAM is separated by the ADAM slugs living like parasites inside of them.
Now should you get your hands on a Little Sister (that is if you can get past their protectors the Big Daddies whom they refer to as Mr. Bubbles or Mr. B), you have a few options. You can save the little sister by killing the slug in her. This will turn her into a normal little girl, you will get whatever ADAM she has on her and she will be forever in your debt which can come to an advantage later. The second option is you can harvest her which will result in a maximum ADAM gain. This can lead to more plasmids and will make it easier for you to survive. She will not survive the process however. Your final option can only be achieved if you are also a Big Daddy. You can adopt her and act as her protector. Bring her to the "Angels" and keep her safe while she gathers ADAM. She will then give you a portion of her ADAM and after two gathers you can choose to save or harvest. Jack approached the crying Little Sister slowly, Tenenbaum's and Atlas' voices echoing in his head.
Hurry Mr. B! Angels don't wait for slowpokes. I can see angels! Get him Mr. B! |

Background Information
Among millions of Filipinos, the coconut is considered as the tree of life. This crop is an important source of livelihood to approximately 1/3 of the Philippine population. The coconut then will continue to play a vital role in the lives of coconut farmers and traders who depend primarily in this industry.
The need to improve and protect the coconut industry cannot be taken for granted. In 1974, a team of distinguished scientists commissioned by the then Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research recommended the establishment of a regional center to spearhead the coconut research and development in the Visayas. In December 1975, the Regional Coconut Research Center was established at the then Visayas State College of Agriculture with its manpower and infrastructure strength.
Formerly known as the Regional Coconut Research Center, it was upgraded and renamed National Coconut Research Center-Visayas on August 10, 2000 by virtue of ViSCA BOT Resolution No. 46. With its conversion, the center's research, development and extension activities are now expanded to the entire Visayas region.
A vibrant center that spearheads the coconut research and development in the Visayas
To enhance rural development especially in coconut growing areas in the Visayas through the generation of sustainable, modern and environment-friendly coconut technologies and the establishment of viable and profitable coconut-based rural enterprises.
To generate, utilize and disseminate profitable technologies and increase the income per unit area of coconut farmers.
To develop and transfer technologies to enable small Visayan coconut farmers derive more income from their coconut land.
Specific Objectives
To collect, conserve and characterize germplasm of local and introduced coconut cultivars
To generate and/or optimize technologies on coconut intercrops and maintain viable and profitable demonstrations farms
To generate and/or optimize coconut seedling production technologies and by-product utilization and establishment of viable and profitable rural processing centers
To establish sustainable marketing linkages and outlets for coconut-based food and non-food products
To conduct accounting of pests and diseases of coconut in the Visayas
To conduct socio-economics, policy advocacy, health and nutrition studies.

By: David Cote - Time Out New York
Last year's Pulitzer Prize winner for drama, Quiara Alegría Hudes' "Water by the Spoonful," surprised everyone.
Hudes was not unknown -- she wrote the book for "In the Heights," but Water had not been seen in New York.
Now getting a chance to see the fuss is all about, I'm glad to say the Pulitzer committee chose wisely. Funny and sad, the play explores various communities fracturing and forming anew.
"Water by the Spoonful" tracks lost souls, all bearing scars external and invisible. The most obvious of the walking wounded is Elliot Ortiz, played by Armando Riesco, a 24-year-old Iraq War veteran with a leg torn up from barbed wire.
Elliot's life after discharge is in limbo. He's in a dead-end fast food job, fending off the demons of post-traumatic stress. His cousin Yaz, the radiant, wistful Zabryna Guevara, is also troubled, but more by her ambivalence toward her Hispanic roots in North Philadelphia.
Just when you've pegged Water as a domestic drama, Hudes broadens her canvas into cyberspace. We see dialogues on an Internet message board for recovering substance abusers, moderated by Odessa, played by Liza Colón-Zayas, who turns out to be Elliot's estranged biological mother.
Hudes doesn't satirize or idealize the slogans of 12-step programs but instead shows how staying clean is constant work, and how those who reject drugs sometimes sacrifice human connection, too.
Hudes weaves her plot lines with elegance and passion, as we follow characters in their bittersweet search for belonging and connection.
Director Davis McCallum steers a superb, diverse ensemble through the comedy and pathos of this material. You don't sip this work by the spoonful, you want to gulp gallons.

Hugo Chávez: On his deathbed, giggling at us…
All Venezuela's dictator Hugo Chávez ever wanted for America was a dictator just like him running the show. And now we have one.
It isn't just the Fast & Furious cover-up, although that IS a very big deal. Invoking executive privilege to keep documents under wraps is a big deal. What leaves me completely baffled is, if the White House knew nothing about the monkey poop fight at the zoo known as Fast And Furious, then what possible authority allows the assertion of that privilege? Either Obama and Holder knew that gun dealers in Arizona were told by the BATF to sell guns to straw buyers, or they didn't. Either they knew that 1,000 of those guns had gone missing, or they didn't.
Richard Nixon taught us that the chief executive cannot invoke executive privilege to cover up screwing the pooch. Or rather, the Supreme Court taught us that, when they slapped Tricky Dick around and made him cough up his tapes. (Somehow, eavesdropping on your opponent seems quite mild compared to losing track of 1,000 firearms and having a few of them turn up in investigations of murdered law enforcement agents. Your mileage may vary.) That this allegedly brilliant Constitutional scholar doesn't know he can't use the privilege in that way makes him look like a clown in charge of a very warped circus. read more »

Who, Me? Wednesday, January 20, 2010 by Lee Lauderdale 6:02 PM I Always Played The GameI was asked to write an introduction of myself. While I am loathe to discuss such a mundane subject, it does seem reasonable to explain why anyone would/should give my insights any consideration. If the title seemed skewly familiar, it parodies the title of the semi-autobiographical book of Howard Cosell. Somewhat knowledgable about boxing upon which his journalistic career rode the coattails of Ali, Howard knew almost nothing about football and yet served as an interesting foil for the ex-jocks Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford in the sports-gone-entertainment of Monday Night Football. My credentials similarly lack typical school participation as I was cut from my only school basketball team in the 7th grade for "Mike" who was an inch taller and whose most athletic activity after that year was pulling shoe boxes off the shelves at the local department store for several decades. Yet I played the game for nearly five decades, passionately and with determination, undaunted by such hinderances as a career, marriage, and fatherhood. I coached intramurals, city leagues, rec leagues, youth leagues, even a few fortunately-tolerated comments in pickup games. I got to know my step child by coaching her youth teams and later basked in the warm glow of the local girls teams' regular appearances in the state playoffs while stocked with my former players. I still feel a guilty pleasure at the schools fall back into mediocrity after those six years passed, and my players graduated. I played in parks, gyms, backyards, city streets, and in the zócalo of several pueblos in Mexico. I played in the rain and snow (rare in Texas); on dirt, concrete, mud, and grass, as well as hardwood; in the daylight, twilight, and moonlight; and on every day of the year including leap day (pun intended). I've played every position including center (at 5'11") when we had only five players and I finished the game after pulling a dislocated finger back into its socket. I've led bad teams where my point guard passes tended to bounce off the faces of my grad-school teammates for whom running was a task requiring most of their concentration. I've been the grease on good teams where I averaged five shots, but was proud of 75% shooting. I've led the team in rebounding (employing my Lee's rule of rebounding: We both jump, I lose--so you don't get to jump, now that's boxing out!) I've received the ultimate "Perkins" compliment--a fellow faculty member cursed out his teammate for not warning him of my pick. I've scored 36 points which only required such phenomena as the ball bouncing off a foot at one freethrow line and madly rolling to the other end (through one players feet as he was alerted to its approach but couldn't bend over in time to pick it up) where I picked it up for a bunny. I've demanded to cover the other team's star, which I reconsidered after my third foul in five minutes. But of all my experiences none has given me more enjoyment than teaching this game that has been such a huge part of my life.As for the Celtics, I have followed them since it meant watching a grainy image in black and white on a 12-inch screen a half a dozen times a year, buying the more expensive newspaper because they actually had box scores, and treasuring the sports magazines because they were the only source of detailed information. I grew up with the incredible run of the Russell-Celtics, soared and anguished with the up and down 70's, gloried in the rebirth with the original Big Three, railed at the inept 90's, loathed Pitino and almost cried at missing the Big Fundamental. I learned early about playing ball the "Celtics' way" where open shots outweighed degree of difficulty, a beautiful pass outshown tickling the twine, and most of rebounding took place before the ball ever came down.Oddly my sports writing began with the arrival of Ainge and my retirement from lecturing on databases at the University of Texas. With the availability of time and inspiration I delighted in mulling over the rebuilding, even with its many sidetracks. The bottom line is essentially the question "Why Basketball?" The answer is not a simple one because basketball is not a simple game. Of all the diversions I explored only three were never outgrown. With experience and understanding these grew with me, revealing layer after layer of complexity as I invested more time, effort, and study. Basketball, unlike the other two, duplicate bridge and chess, was also a physical release (every bit as good as the occasional "mental health" [sick] day I took off during my working career). I attribute much of my even temper and tolerance to the bliss of exhaustion and I'm sure my wife, child, and coworkers benefitted whether they knew it or not. So rather than yelling at the TV or kicking the cat, here I find myself working on analyses of Celtics' victory and defeat, plotting about acquisitions and stockpiling picks, and drawing comparisons between basketball and eternal truths--thanks for listening.[Discuss on CG Forums!]Labels: Boston Celtics Comments: Great intro Lee! Welcome to the blog and to the CG family! BTW, I like your use of labels. I hadnt used it before but we really should start now. Once again welcome aboard! # posted by Loyalist : 7:59 PM Welcome Lee. Looking forward to reading your articles. # posted by JR : 8:49 PM Great into! Very excited to have you here and looking forward to reading your articles! # posted by FLCeltsFan : 11:27 PM Lee and I have a bunch in common actually. The first time I touched a basketball was with my dad as a little kid and he showed me the hook shot and told me to always practice my FT. Which I did, but I later practiced 3's as much as anything. I used to go to the Y occasionally to play as I got older. I never thought to tryout for any school teams during this time, but I eventually tried out for my Jr HS teams, but never made them. So, the first time I played organized ball was at a local Rec summer league at 15, where I actually experienced what it was like to be "in the zone" for the first time on my way to scoring 25 pts against a Christian Academy, scoring mostly on 3's. I tell ya, I didnt even know what was going on, it just kept going in.I've experienced a lesser Zone feeling a few more times, but that first time was awesome.Then, I played HS ball in 9th grade, didnt play in 10th grade, but made the JV team as a Junior. I was pretty good and fast becuz I used to run a lot. I would do 2 to 6 miles which frequently allowed me to be the first one sprinting down the court or hustling back on D. However, I didnt get the PT I felt I deserved and on top of that, was basically promised a spot on the Varsity if one opened up. It did, but I didnt get the spot. Some 5'8" kid who had hustle, but not much else and who was easily intimidated, got my spot and I never forgot that. I got my own personal redemption, however, when I dunked in a game for the first time (6'2") in front of the Varsity Coach. I even gave him a stare and a grin as I ran back down on defense. The next morning at shoot around my teammates kept goading me to dunk for them which I obliged.Only two other kids could dunk at our school. A 6'4" dude on the Varsity (he was a monster) and a 6'6" beanpole on my JV team who only scored baskets if he was under the hoop. He rarely got a dunk, he had no handles, no J, no FT, and got pushed around by smaller players.I found out later there was some politics involved regarding Coach's basketball camp which I didnt attend. Anyway...I skipped trying to make the Varsity my Senior year and ran the 2 miler instead for the Track team. I really never had a passion for running like I did hoops though. Running to me was like working out just so I could be better at bball.I also used to play a lot of street ball at local courts. I always played against older and mostly better competition. During this time Reggie Lewis was my hero and Bird was retiring. Then of course we all know Reg passed (RIP).I also scored 33 points in a 18+ Mens Athletic Club league when I was 24. My team actually went to the Championship game and got spanked, but I averaged over 14ppg and was 3rd in rebs (cant remember how many per).Eventually, I slowly quit playing as much due to life mostly. I do get out and get some run in occasionally, and I still got it sometimes, but I'm not as quick anymore and I can only grab the rim with one hand these days. My knees arent shot, but they do get sore from the miles I've put on them.Well, thats my story as best as I can recall. # posted by Loyalist : 4:01 AM Lee, Spend a little time a celtic-nation, too.

Reign of Fire: Meteorites, Wildfires, Planetary Chaos and the Sixth Extinction
Over the past 18 months, I've been growing increasingly concerned for the future of all life on planet earth. Sure, the signs that things have been going 'south' have been there for some time, but my concern began in earnest at the very beginning of 2011, when masses of birds began to fall dead from the sky around the world. The phenomenon continued for several months, and birds around the world are still dying for officially unknown reasons. None of the dead birds showed any sign of disease, but in several incidents birds were found to have 'external injuries' like they had been "hit by some kind of blunt instrument". All sorts of explanations for the deaths were offered (like fireworks or birds colliding with each other) including the predictable attempts by 'science experts' to downplay any significance to the bizarre deaths. But among the flurry of speculation, one report stood out. Read more »

The Top Funds Over Five Years: Gold, Emerging Markets & Diversification Lead
by Charles Rotblut, CFA
Gold and emerging market stock funds held onto their top spots in this year's ranking of the top mutual funds over the past five years.
Bond funds were also very prevalent among the best-performing categories. Conversely, large-cap domestic funds remained among the worst-performing categories.

The numbers reflect both the importance of diversification and the frustration still felt by many investors. Those who maintained a heavy allocation to U.S.large-cap stock funds since the start of 2006 found themselves more reliant than they would have liked on dividends for a source of total return. Those who owned funds from a variety of categories are now feeling rewarded for withstanding both the downward and upward volatility of the past several years.
What may not be as apparent is the importance of proactive rebalancing, as opposed to reactive selling. For example, though large-cap stock funds lag on a five-year basis, they rank in the top half in terms of 2010 performance. A simple strategy of annual rebalancing would have allowed you to buy low and sell high, the exact opposite of what many panicked investors did during the last bear market.
Thus, though five-year performance does provide useful insight into trends, you should not use it as a timing indicator to determine which categories to go into and which to jump out of. Rather, you should use it as a guide to help identify which funds have consistently outperformed their peers over a long period of time. A fund manager can get lucky from year to year, but it takes skill to beat one's peers for an extended period of time.

I always appreciate the depth of your analysis. Gold has, and I believe will continue to do well. Emerging Markets have done what, 18% a year for ten years. Slacked off now but where is the growth going to be in the future?
Bonds? We may have been in a bull market for bonds the last decade or so too, but I think you would have to agre to underweight them today, wouldn't you?
posted over 2 years ago by Anthony from Arizona
Diversification is of questionable help when all asst classes rise and fall together. The Fed must tighten eventually. This makes long duration bonds a risky olace to be. Work around the edges with REITs, Convertibles solid high dividend equities and low duration bonds. Also consider TIPs. Gold has seen its besr profits but will be a safe haven when inflation kicks in.

I wonder about mutual fund costs.
Vanguard has traditionally provided low cost funds, but I don't remember them performing that well.
If one only buys low cost funds does that mean an investor has succeeded by buying the low cost fund -- at the expense of performance?
How about a metric $returned/unit of expense?

...well, at least the hat is; just go back to the classic "MB Glove!"
...well, at least the hat is; just go back to the classic "MB Glove!"
is that a neti pot on the hat?
what is that supposed to be? and if I have to ask, the artist failed at what ever it is he was attempting.
Seriously. What the hell is that on the hat? I know it's Barrellman's head, but *** is it?
it's supposed to be the tap to the keg. I've met a keg or two in my day. and I've never seen a tap that shoots out beer horizontally like a fire hydrant.
it's from the 1940's MiLB Brewers. so it's not a new concept, some yokel submitted the idea to use this ridiculous stuff. there's nothing new under the sun
My first thought, other than wtw.....was
Go back to the MB glove.
Do they really think there's going to be a rush to purchase those hats?
Having relatives in the area, I have been to Brewers' games, and they have a character name of Bernie Brewer. After a Brewer homer, he slides down a chute into an enormous mug of beer. I'm guessing the hat emblem is a portrait of Bernie? And Weird-O is correct; if we have to ask it is a FAIL.
What's the problem, Brewers? Put a frosty mug of beer on the cap, and you'll have fans all over the country.

There's a flame that leads our souls astray
No one's safe from its tender touch of pain
And every day it's looking for new slaves
To celebrate the beauty of the grave
We are like the living dead
Sacrificing all we have
For a frozen heart and a soul on fire
We are like the living dead
Craving for deliverance
With a frozen heart and a soul on fire

This episode was good, because it was nice to see Charizard obeying Ash after he helped him defrost.
That was the one where he came up against a Poliwrath wasn't it. That was a cool episode.

Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
lol, why hasn't anyone mentioned that Charizard uses 6 moves in that episode?

That's really trivial though; I thought this was an excellent episode and one of the turning points in the series.

This was one of the best episodes in Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto. Ash didn't annoy me as much in this episode. Probably because Charizard finally ended up listening to him.
pirate detective
Saw the episode yesterday. One of the better episodes in the Original Series and it was the launchpad for the Ash/Charizard combination that we all know now. Both Ash and Charizard did some serious growing up in this episode.
This episode was the most emotional episode, even that episode where Ash almost lets Pikachu go isn't as emotional as this one.
When it happens...eat pie. =3
Read this if you feel silly.
Um.. yay? :3
You see me coming, you better not laugh and lie, one man did and one man died!
(Of laughter)
Pls not to be hating me cos I probably much younger and stupider than you >:U
I'm sure this is just an oversight, but Tad tells Ash he'll 'battle him in the Orange League.' Good thing the league is just fighting the champion...
It was nice how Charizard finally obeyed Ash after him & Misty were helping him to recover. The ending was beast because he won and finally listened to Ash.

Best friends forever, Sisters at heart ♥
Finally Charizard obeys! This is probably the most memorable episode for me, because it was just that epic! And it was about time that Charizard learned a lesson for not listening.

Voterama in Congress, week ending June 22, 2012
How Illinois lawmakers voted in Congress Week ending June 22
Related Documents
Updated: June 29, 2012 11:44AM
Energy vs. Environment: Members voted, 248-163, to expand oil drilling offshore and on federal lands and shelve new environmental rules for refineries. A yes vote backed a bill (HR 4480) that also changes the Clean Air Act by requiring its regulations to be based primarily on economic impact, not health factors, which is the existing standard.
Oil-Industry Tax Breaks: Members defeated, 166-243, a Democratic bid to bar Shell, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and BP from receiving oil and gas drilling leases under HR 4480 (above) unless they relinquish their federal tax breaks, which total $4 billion annually. A yes vote backed the Democratic motion.
Clean-Air Rules: Senators defeated, 46-53, a Republican bid to nullify the Environmental Protection Agency's first national curbs on air pollution from coal- and oil-fueled power plants. A yes vote opposed a set of rules, soon to take effect, that will give plants generating electricity at least three years to add scrubbers and other technology for cleansing emissions. (SJ Res 37)
New Farm Law: Senators sent the House, 64-35, a bill shaping U.S. farm and food programs for five years at a 10-year cost of nearly $1 trillion. A yes vote was to pass S 3240, which ends direct payments to farmers, subsidizes crop insurance to protect their incomes and funds an expansion of food stamps for low-income households.
Crop-insurance Subsidies: Senators voted, 66-33, to curb taxpayer subsidies of crop insurance for farmers earning more than $750,000 annually. Expanded crop insurance is a key element of S 3240 (above). A yes vote was to trim subsidies by 15 percent for the top-earning 1 percent of U.S. farmers.
Food-Stamps Eligibility: Senators refused, 43-56, to require states to apply stricter asset tests for determining food-stamps eligibility. A yes vote backed an amendment to S 3240 (above) that sought to end policies in 40 states that allow applicants with assets above certain levels to qualify for food stamps.
Key votes ahead
In the week of June 25, the House will take up a contempt citation against Atty. Gen. Eric Holder. Both chambers will seek agreement on long-stalled bills to fund highway projects and cap interest rates on student loans. Congress begins a week-long Fourth of July recess at week's end.

EAST HARTFORD >> When Paul Pasqualoni was hired at UConn, he had the backing of the state's high school football coaches.
The belief was he would be more proactive in securing commitments from in-state student-athletes.
While the won-loss record has not been what UConn backers have been looking for, Pasqualoni's staff has made an impact on recruiting in Connecticut. Six of the 24 members of the latest Huskies recruiting class hail from Connecticut.
"I am obviously very excited about several things today," Pasqualoni said at a Wednesday afternoon press conference announcing the class. "First off, we signed six players from the state of Connecticut. Obviously I'm extremely excited.
"We can't thank them enough for keeping the door open and giving them a chance to come in and recruit, being supportive of us and giving us a chance to really work recruiting in the state. They are a big part of this certainly."
Former Xavier quarterback Tim Boyle was the first player Pasqualoni mentioned when running down the list of his newest recruits. Cheshire Academy linebacker Cory Jasudowich, Hand fullback Matt Walsh, Coventry tight end Tommy Myers, Windsor defensive end Cole Ormsby and St. Luke's receiver Noel Thomas are the other Nutmeg State products signing with UConn. Thomas actually signed in December and is enrolled now.
"A lot of people say it is the best class they have ever had," Walsh said after signing his national letter of intent on Wednesday morning. "We are up to 20-something commits, six in-state and a lot of three/four star recruits, even though that doesn't matter when we get up there. Everybody is working really hard to come in there and make an impact as best we can."
Pasqualoni didn't limit his praise for the six Connecticut products.
Among the other players Pasqualoni went out of his way to mention were:
‰Jordan Fuchs, a tight end out of Christ the King in Middle Village, N.Y., who drew Division I recruiting interest as a basketball player. Continued...
‰Brian Lemelle, who is the all-time leading receiver in Pennsylvania high school football history.
‰Offensive lineman Kyle Schafenacker, who led Florida powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas to the 7A state title and resisted the recruiting advances from South Florida.
‰Defensive ends Sha-ki Holines and Jalen Stevens, who have the height to add enough bulk to either play defensive end or get on the field as outside linebackers.
"What we are trying to do in building the program, and it is hard to do it overnight, we are trying to recruit pro-type-size guys," Pasqualoni said. "We'd like to have a big, athletic, smart tough football team here, so the size factors are a big part of what we are doing."
There were some surprises. Highly touted quarterback Richard Lagow out of Plano, Texas, did not sign a letter of intent. Pasqualoni is not allowed to comment on players who have yet to sign, but he did not rule out adding another quarterback to the class.
"I can't comment on the player," Pasqualoni said. "I won't know the answer to (whether Lagow could be added to the class) until probably tomorrow."
Orange (N.J.) defensive back Jamar Summers and Reading (Pa.) defensive back Jalan Branford also did not sign. Sources indicate they could head to UConn next year after spending a year in prep school.
The newest additions to UConn's commitment list were Dunmore (Pa.) defensive tackle Michael Boland and Kivon Taylor, a quarterback from Atlanta.

Van Jones resigns
posted at 11:01 am on September 6, 2009 by Allahpundit
How I like to imagine Obama broke the news: "Let me be clear: Pack your sh*t."
In a letter released just after midnight Saturday, Van Jones, President Obama's Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the Council on Environmental Quality resigned.
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones wrote. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."
Jones said that he had "been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum – urging me to "stay and fight. But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future."
In this case, the "vicious smear campaign" consisted of (a) accurately quoting Jones and (b) citing documents he signed. But no matter. He's headed for left-wing martyrdom, Trutherism notwithstanding and replete with lies about how Beck supposedly attacked him only after the Color of Change boycott began (wrong) and how the Truther petition itself was credibly challenged by other signatories (wrong twice over). Howard Dean's already pushing the latter point, in fact, and calls Jones's resignation "a loss for the country," which is fitting insofar as Dean-o himself was once a bit warmer to Truther theories than even some lefty commentators could bear.
Ed Driscoll's got a worthy reaction round-up so I'll send you there from here. Three meta-points to take away from this, though. One: We were told during the campaign that Wright and Ayers were non-issues because they wouldn't be part of the administration, but has Wright, for instance, said anything vastly worse than Jones has? If he's persona non grata on Team Barry, why wasn't Van the man? Two: As noted by Driscoll and Mickey Kaus and doubtless dozens of others, so astonishing was the press blackout on this story that millions of people will wake up today, see the headline, and wonder, "Who the hell is Van Jones?" This isn't as sexy a media-bias scandal as Rathergate or the silence on Edwards during the primary, but it's significant. And three: To keep beating a dead horse, this never would have happened had Jones been forced to sit for a Senate confirmation because the White House never would have nominated him. They knew he was toxic and they knew Republicans would force the press to cover that fact at a hearing. That's the whole point of having "czars" — to install people in positions of cabinet-level power without having to deal with the Senate's pesky check-and-balance. It needs to change. Soon.

Paul, I have started a thread off thanking the moderators for their dignified approach and efforts.
You\'ll never walk alone
Every post that I\'ve read concerning that fateful day makes me cry.
It\'s so hard to comprehend the fact that people died as a result of following their team to a football match, but none the less, they will never be forgotten.
Thanks for your thoughts Steve.
that was the most vivid account i have heard and i certainly realise that all of football should realise hillsbrough, i mean, ive only really taken much notice of it since i came on these message boards and the issue is very important.
justice.
that brough allot of tears to my eyes
thank you for sharing steve, i dont know what i would do in a situation like that
my thoughts are with you and yours, and all the other families and fans

All my other friends dont even know what today is about and Im going to have my own minute silence that im going to carryout no matter what...

Embracing the world with positive creativity since Sept 2007.
Dear CTI Friends and Family—
As plans and actions for the Creative Thinkers International Anthology continue to develop, we have taken a number of steps to achieve our goal. One of the biggest steps has been to establish presences with links on other sites to further spread the word about CTI and generate support for the publication of the anthology and other CTI related projects.
One of the places we have secured a supportive location is on Facebook under these names: Creative Minds at Work and Play and Modern Man of Letters. In addition to providing support for the anthology initiative, a major function of the Facebook location will be to post links to the pages of CTI members and allow the world to discover the great works you have shared. If you're on Facebook, please connect with us on the pages for Creative Minds at Work and Play and Modern Manof-Letters .
We have also taken the step of placing on Creative Thinkers International a donation widget where individuals and organizations may donate funds through PayPal to the CTI Initiative. We recognize that in these challenging economic times, not everyone can make such donations, but for those who can we are happy to make it easy for you to do so.
The anthology submission and evaluation process is also under development and we're looking forward to sharing more news with you soon.
Your friendly CTI Admim Team and Aberjhani

I am on facebook. I also have a page there, Carmen Ruggero - Poetry which I connect with my website Musings and Rhymes. I get a lot of hits but no comments on site or on facebook. So I don't know if facebook is helping or not. It may be, but I can't tell. The idea of sharing the work is to expose it and share in discussion. So I'm sort of out of ideas. I think CTI is a good thing, and I agree with you, it would be nice to see it grow.
Hi, Carmencita!
Just posted a reply to Aberjhani re Facebook. Thought u might like to see.
By the way, I re-checked The Yarn Spinner link in my news
announcement at authorsden. It works, but AD set up a detour.
Takes you to a Den page [for advertising purposes?], but there
is a link/message near the top that says something to the effect that
you are en route to the site you shoulda gotten in the first
place. It's aggravatin', but what can you do.
After midnight, better haul arse.
I dropped out of Facebook, but am going to re-up so I can help spread the word. If you don't see my name within a week, remind me if you get a chance.
M a y get a website up before long. Maintained an educational site for several years, but it got to be more than I could handle, financially and otherwise. Doubt I'll have time to keep a site updated & interactive, but. . .we'll see. Got any advice?
Gotta go. Hope to finally post news re the CTI feature at Author's Den before I hit the hay. News and events announcements response is nearly always disappointing [which as you know, is true of everything except poetry], but it can't hurt. Sorry to be so slow to get to it. Been busier'n the proverbial paperhanger. Don't have to tell you how that is!
