British pottery from different periods throughout history will be part of the latest exhibit beginning today at the American Museum of Ceramic Art.
"Friendship Forged in Fire: British Ceramics in America" will be on display through May 5, according to a statement from the museum.
The exhibition features industrial potteries of the Victorian Era, pieces from the Arts and Crafts Movement and of artists who took a more traditionalist approach to ceramic art such as Bernard Leach, the statement said.
Works by modern ceramic artists such as Lucie Rie, Hans Coper and Ruth Duckworth will also be part of the exhibit.
Along with the exhibition two additional components have been brought to The Vault in the Museum.
The first exhibit features two pieces of work by London artists Barnaby Barford including the short, animated film "Barford: Damaged Goods" and a porcelain and mixed media piece called "Happily Ever After," the statement said.
The second component is the documentary entitled "Site Specific: Marl Hole," which follows the work of four world-renowned ceramic artists and their efforts to create pieces tied to Marl Hole, Europe's largest working clay quarry.
A grand opening and reception for "Friendship Forged in Fire: British Ceramics in America" and for "Barnaby Barford: Damaged Goods" will be from 6 to 9 p.m, today.
The American Museum of Ceramic Art is at 399 N. Garey Ave.
Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday though Sunday and noon to 9 p.m. on Second Saturdays of the month.
General admission tickets are $5; Students and senior tickets are $4; museum members and children ages 12 and under are admitted for free.
The museum will have Free Admission Days on March 9 and April 13 through a sponsorship of Southern California Edison.

Jillian Weise
Jillian Weise was born in Houston, Texas, in 1981. She studied at Florida State University; the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she was the Fred Chappell Fellow; and the University of Cincinnati.
Weise is the author of The Book of Goodbyes (BOA Editions, 2013), which received the 2013 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets, which recognizes a superior second book of poetry by an American poet. Her debut poetry collection, The Amputee's Guide to Sex, was published by Soft Skull Press in 2007.
As Laughlin Award judge Brenda Shaughnessy wrote about Weise's winning book:
Jillian Weise's crackling second collection is called The Book of Goodbyes—that's "Goodbyes" plural. For it turns out there are so very many ways to say it. This is no ordinary see ya later/maybe next life, no firm and clear Dear John letter, though epistolary laments and last words pierce the reader as if Big Logos (the book's nickname for the beloved) broke our hearts as well as the speaker's. But this book's smart, endearing, self-consciously self-dramatizing speaker is the heartbreaking heroine of the book, and she is NOT HAVING IT. That is, if she's leaving, she'll do it fiercely and with such full-throated articulation and insight that it won't be easy to let her go....This book reminds us that the pain of love and loss, in the hands of a powerful wordsmith such as Weise, might just morph into passion, thrill, strength. And that love-suffering can bring us ever closer to lovability because through it we learn to connect, renew, transform.
Weise is also the author of the novel The Colony (Counterpoint/Soft Skull Press, 2010). Her other honors include a Fulbright Fellowship and the 2013 Isabella Gardner Poetry Award from BOA Editions.

Dynamic Graph Visualization
Dynamic graphs encode the change of relations between object over time, and as that, are a very flexible and general data encoding. Visualizing these graphs, in particular, for larger data sets and when additional information is available such as a hierarchical organization of the objects is a challenging task. Many data dimensions have to be represented at the same time:
- the graph vertices (objects)
- the edges induced by the graph (relations)
- the weights of the edges
- the inclusion edges induced by the hierarchy
- the evolution of the graph over time
State-of-the-Art Report
We surveyed the field of dynamic graph visualization in a EuroVis 2014 State-of-The-Art Report (STAR). Already more than 120 papers have been published in this growing field of research, among them about 60 unique visualization techniques. We classified the techniques into a simple hierarchical taxonomy and made our literature collection also available as an interactive database.
Animated Node-Link Diagrams
Traditional approaches use a time-to-time mapping and show the time-varying graph data as animated sequences of node-link diagrams. Though this visualization strategy is very intuitive it also has some drawbacks:
- if the graphs are very dense, i.e. have many edges, visual clutter occurs caused by many edge crossings
- animation leads to cognitive efforts for a viewer to preserve his mental map
- sophisticated layout algorithms are needed to circumvent the two former mentioned problems that have a high run time complexity
Timeline-Based Diagrams
In our research we avoid a time-to-time mapping and encode the time dimension into space instead. We use stacked graphical color coded elements to show weighted time-varying relations and we show links only implicitly by different orientations instead of direct explicit links as in node-link diagrams.
Our approach allows easily exploring a time-varying graph data set for trends, countertrends, and anomalies and has many benefits:
- visual clutter is reduced by showing the links implicitly
- cognitive efforts are reduced and the mental map is preserved by using static images
- interactive features can easily be applied
- run time complexities are reduced and graphs can be added on-the-fly.

Daniel Loeb's Third Point LLC disclosed a stake worth $115 million Wednesday in media company Walt Disney Co., adding to the hedge-fund manager's Hollywood bets this year.
The Disney DIS, +0.53% stake amounts to less than 1% of the company's shares, which are up 28% this year but down over the past three months. Mr. Loeb has no plans to launch a push for any changes at Disney, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Mr. Loeb's 1.8 million-share Disney position, in addition to a batch of options to buy the shares, was taken amid an attempt by the sometimes-activist shareholder to get Sony Corp. 6758, +0.21% SNE, +0.25% to split off its film business.
Third Point's filing revealed the firm's holdings as of the end of June. Mr. Loeb's Sony stake was revealed in May in a letter Mr. Loeb hand-delivered to Sony Chief Executive Kazuo Hirai. Sony has since rebuffed the proposal to split off the movie studio into a separate company.
The filing also reveals new stakes in Irish drug-maker Elan Corp. US:ELN , which was involved in a takeover fight and then agreed to a deal last month. Third Point held 8.5 million shares and call options to buy another 3.5 million shares. The shares would be worth $133 million as of the end of Wednesday assuming Third Point still held them, up from $120 million at the end of the quarter.
Also revealed was a stake in fertilizer maker CF Industries Holdings Inc. CF, +1.17% though the filing no longer showed a holding in another fertilizer and agricultural company, Agrium Inc. US:AGU
Another new position was Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. US:CCE , the distributor and bottler of Coca-Cola products.
Among other changes was a boosted stake in auction house Sotheby's BID, +0.41% which is facing an activist fight and a new stake in Marathon Petroleum Corp., while stakes in Hess Corp. HES, -0.09% Louisiana-Pacific Corp. LPX, +0.16% and Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc. US:ARIA were all eliminated. A small batch of options on Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.36% was also eliminated.

4-Wheel & Off-Road Staff Mishaps - Whoops!Posted in Whoops on February 18, 2014
Jerk Testing
Rick Péwé took his Cheap Truck Challenge XJ to Azusa Canyon to test towstraps. He successfully flung some mud before sinking to the frame multiple times and getting yanked out by locals. Luckily, his signature Galilee-inspired river sandals have good flotation characteristics.
Mud Buggy
Former tech editor and current Nuts & Bolts columnist Trent McGee has completed every Ultimate Adventure. His TJ-based buggy's maiden voyage was the 2007 UA. Early in the trip, a Texas mud hole got deep on the passenger side. The intake is on that side, and Trent didn't want to hydraulic the motor. So he tried to straddle the hole. He got too far over and fell in the hole he was trying to avoid. He steered downhill, pinned it, and miraculously clawed out of the hole and landed upright.
Las Cruces
Revenge Feature Editor Harry Wagner had run every "extreme" Las Cruces trail but one: Patzcuarro's Revenge. He went for it at last year's Chile Challenge. Harry had the smallest tires and the most sheetmetal in his group. He let his friend Adrian drive while he shot photos of his Toyota flopping on its roof on the very first obstacle. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Tech Editor Fred Williams brought his '73 CJ-5 to the annual Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari a few years back and somehow got stuck at the bottom of a hill that posed zero issues for everyone else in the group. 8274 to the rescue!
Follow the Leader
Contributor Tom Morr learned the drawbacks of playing follow-the leader behind Rick Péwé's wide-track flatfender. The Rubicon's Sluices didn't leave their marks, but the CJ slid safely sideways into Buck Island.

Some highlights:
Goodstein's survey of the available economic literature and research found that there was no [jobs versus economy] tradeoff at a macroeconomic level. The effects of environmental protection and regulation were minor compared to other factors including the monetary and fiscal policies of the state. On balance they were found to produce a slight employment benefit and economic stimulus due to the effects of public expenditure on environmental protection, corporate investment in abatement measures and accelerated technological innovation, the stimulus to the environmental protection industry, and the adoption of more labour-intensive production processes.
And in response to the familiar cry by big business that 'If we have to comply with new regulations we'll move overseas and take the jobs with us':
There were few examples of relocation of US plants to pollution havens... This was because: the cost of environmental regulation was small compared to overall business costs (especially wages); costs were only one factor in relocation decisions; modern production technology obviates environmental compliance costs by incorporating pollution control devices to begin with; and environmental compliance could yield benefits outweighing the costs.
Well worth a read.

BOSTON � An aggressive, multibillion-dollar bridge repair program has helped Massachusetts significantly reduce its number of bridges with structural problems, but hundreds are still awaiting repair.
Meanwhile, several dozen of those bridges are also deemed ''fracture critical,'' or at risk of collapse if a single, vital component fails, according to an Associated Press review of national bridge records.
State Highway Administrator Frank DePaola said the state is moving to make repairs as quickly as funds allow. Until then, rigorous inspection, interim repairs and steps to protect vulnerable bridge components � such as using barriers to shield them from cars � ensure all the flagged bridges are safe for travel, he said.
''We have a term for unsafe bridges, and that is 'closed,' '' DePaola said.
The AP analysis of the most recently available federal government data indicates that nationally there are 20,808 fracture critical bridges and 65,605 ''structurally deficient'' bridges. A structurally deficient bridge has problems with a major component, such as advanced deterioration, and needs rehabilitation or replacement.
Structurally deficit bridges make up about 11 percent of the 607,380 bridges in the National Bridge Inventory.
Massachusetts had roughly the same percentage of structurally deficient bridges in 2008, when the state began an eight-year, $3 billion Accelerated Bridge Program to cut into its backlog of bridges in need of repair and replacement.
The state has since reduced the number of structurally deficient bridge from 543 to 463, or about 9 percent of the state's 5,127 bridges, DePaola said.
Of the deficient Massachusetts bridges, 97 are also labeled ''fracture critical.'' But DePaola said about two-thirds of those bridges are either being repaired, or the review and permitting process to repair them has started. That leaves roughly a third ''waiting for us to have enough funds to replace them.''
The double-flagged bridges are located around the state, from a ramp onto busy Storrow Drive toward Boston to a span over the Westfield River, near the western Massachusetts towns of Middlefield and Worthington.
Annual funding from the state's Accelerated Bridges Program far exceeds the roughly $150 million DePaola estimated Massachusetts receives annually in federal funding for bridges. Kristina Egan, director of Transportation for Massachusetts, a privately funded transportation improvement advocacy group, said state legislators must find more money to continue what she said has been good work.
''We still have a long way to go,'' Egan said.
Egan said the state bridge program has efficiently stretched the dollars it has, citing its ''Fast 14'' project in June and August 2011, which replaced 14 bridges on Route 93 near Boston in 10 weekends. State transportation officials estimated the work would normally take at least four years, but the state dramatically cut down that time by, for instance, relying heavily on prefabricated parts.
That kind of innovation can't continue without money, and neither can the critical repairs, Egan said. She noted hundreds of millions in repairs are needed on a span that takes Interstate 91 through Springfield, but there isn't a dollar designated to it yet, though that highway is critical to local commerce.
''That's a concrete example of why we need the funds, for safety, and for the economy,'' she said.

"œIf we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another. Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restre such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself so that you too will not be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. For each one will bear his own load" (Gal. 5:25 – 6:1-5).
I heard this passage faithfully exposited by Dan Wilson from Harvest USA (www.harvestusa.org) in the context of several sessions on biblical masculinity and the call to fight the fight of faith at our church's men's retreat earlier this year.
I have to confess that I've often glossed over this passage, reading it (through the lens of our cultural feminism that is so hard to escape) as a "œwarm fuzzy" reminder that we're not in this alone, that we should support each other in the faith. It's so much more than that, however. A little contextual reading and a little Greek exegesis can help us see what Paul is really saying here.
Galatians, it has been said, is "œRomans written while Paul was angry." He covers many of the same themes as are addressed in Romans (i.e. – justification by faith, struggle against sin, etc.) in a much more terse fashion, punctuated with refrains of "do you not know" or "œbut you know"œ""this was material they had already covered, and Paul is firmly reminding them that these truths should have a hold on their lives. The immediate context of this passage is a discourse on circumcision (more specifically, the spreading heresy that it was necessary to follow the Jewish law to attain salvation), the bondage to sin that comes from the rejection of grace, and the freedom that comes when we crucify our flesh with Christ. Paul here reminds the Galatians how to flesh out grace-filled living in a Christian community""he tells them to take sin seriously and contend for one another's spiritual health.
The word translated "œwalk" in 5:25 is the verb stÅichÄ•Å, which speaks of marching in cadence and conformity to a leader. The NIV's translation of this phrase as "œkeep in step with the Spirit" is a more correct rendering of the meaning. Often Paul uses the verb pÄ•ripatÄ•Å to refer to our spiritual walk, but his use of a different verb here sets a military tone to let us know that we should listen to the Spirit as soldiers listen to a commander""that failure to hear and obey quickly and accurately can have disastrous results. Therefore, as we listen to the Spirit's leading, we should be alert to the dangers of sin and contend for those who succumb to temptation, lovingly but firmly restoring them to right relationship with God and the Church.
The "œburdens" that we are to bear together (6:2) are the Greek word baros, which always has the connotation of weight pressing down upon someone or something. Temptation and sin are a crushing load that individual believers should not have to (and indeed, are not able to) deal with alone. There is a definite call to brotherhood and mutual accountability among believers in dealing with sin in the Body. The command is a two-way street: brothers are not to let an individual struggle alone, nor is an individual to attempt to. If he thinks he can handle sin on his own, he is deceiving himself (6:3).
The apparent contradiction of the statement that "œeach one shall bear his own load" (6:5) so soon after we are told to "œbear one another's burdens" is resolved in the Greek. The word for "œload" is phÅrtiÅn, meaning "œsomething carried". The idea of weight and struggle is not attached to this term""it is the word Christ used when saying that His "œburden is light." The concept here is that while a body of believers is necessary to confront the baros of sin, each individual is responsible for his own phÅrtiÅn of the spiritual disciplines (prayer, study, and meditation on God's Word); phÅrtiÅn is like a soldier's pack that contains his provisions, ammunition, and everything he needs to participate in battle and neglects at his own peril. Other believers are not accountable for our personal devotion""that's between us and the Lord""but they are called to rescue us from the pits we fall into when we neglect our responsiblity.
Living this out is tough (we don't like confronting our fellow men about their sins, and we like it even less when the shoe is on the other foot), but it is an absolutely crucial command for the Church. We cannot live for Christ in a vacuum""without brothers to encourage us and chastise us, our witness is shot full of holes by "œthe sin which so easily entangles us" (Heb. 12:1). I pray that more men of the valiant faith that Paul describes will be raised up in our churches to rescue them from the mire of irrelevance, cowardice, and unfaithfulness that so often characterizes them today.

Lesley Ann Warren Talks 'Dancing To The Movies'
Recently Lesley Ann Warren recalled when the musical theater bug hit her. It was the early 1960s when as a teenager she would visit her classmates backstage at the Martin Beck Theatre where they were featured in the chorus of the Broadway hit "Bye, Bye Birdie." At that time she'd been training for a career in ballet for years, but watching her friends, she became a Broadway baby.
Now some fifty years later the unstoppable Warren joins the cast of "Dancing To The Movies," a dance entertainment that celebrates dance sequences from great Hollywood musicals that will be performed with the Boston Pops under the direction of Keith Lockhart this Saturday for an afternoon and evening performances.
The Pops hosted a similar show a few years ago that impressed Lockhart so much that when the opportunity arose to present this show, the Pops signed on, despite the fact that the Symphony Hall isn't by nature a venue for dance.
"We love when we can integrate dance and motion and things that are extra-musical into our concerts," said Lockhart. "This is always a challenge in Symphony Hall because the room was built for concerts, not for shows; but it worked so spectacularly the last time, we wanted to do again. And this is a concert we are performing as a matinee as well as an evening performance because people love bringing their kids to. We are trying to find more times besides the holidays when the Boston Pops can be viewed as family entertainment."
Joining Ms. Warren is a talented corps of dancers from some of television best entertainment shows, including the "Dancing With The Stars" Celebrity Pros, top finalists from "So You Think You Can Dance," America's Got Talent aerialists from "America's Got Talent" and vocal support from singing stars from "American Idol." The dance sequences, which include dance homages to such films as "West Side Story," "Grease," "Chicago," "Singin' in the Rain," and even "The Matrix," have been conceived by a team of seven choreographers.
Warren's biggest break came when Richard Rodgers hired her to play the title role in a lavish, television adaptation of "Cinderella" in 1966. Her performance in the Rodgers and Hammerstein show, which had debuted a decade earlier in a live telecast with Julie Andrews, brought her to the attention of Walt Disney, who flew her to Hollywood for a role in the live-action musical film "The Happiest Millionaire." It would turn out to be Disney's final film.
Warren's career was launched and she hasn't stopped working since, largely in films and television, most memorably in "Victor/Victoria" (Oscar nomination) and the cult hit "Clue," where she played Ms. Scarlett. But she has returned to the stage on occasion, most notably in 1997 when she returned to Broadway for a starring role in "Dream," a musical that celebrated the career of composer Johnny Mercer.
EDGE spoke to Warren recently about her taking part in a unique dance show.
EDGE: How would you describe the show?
Lesley Ann Warren: It is a musical compilation of some of the most beloved dance sequences from movie musicals performed by some great, great dancers. We don't present the originals on a screen because if we projected the original sequences, no one would watch the dancers? - There are projections that you give you a feeling for the scene, but the focus is on the dancers, and they are excellent dancers from "Dancing with the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance!" We have seven choreographers that created the great dance sequences that emulate the scenes from the movies.
EDGE: How did you get involved?
Lesley Ann Warren: I know the producer, Scott Stander. I have known him from the business. Then one day he called me and asked if I wanted to come and be a part of the show as a special guest. I said, let me come and look at what you are doing.' I went to the rehearsal studio and really quickly said I wanted it to be part of it. I started on Broadway as a dancer. It's a huge love of mine, so the exhilaration of being around dancers again and some of my favorite movie musicals, it was too much to walk away from.
EDGE: What is it like to be dancing again?
Lesley Ann Warren: It is great. It is scary. I stretch every day to make sure that I am keeping myself flexible and strong. But I am thrilled that there is a lot I am doing that I would never have thought I could have done. In terms of stamina and movement at this point in my life after not dancing for 20 years. Twenty years ago I did a Broadway show that was all dancing and singing called "Dream." I haven't danced like this for 20 years, so I am genuinely surprised and thrilled. It is not exhausting; it is exhilarating. I have to take really good care of myself, stretch and make sure I am getting proper rest and all of that, but it is exhilarating.
EDGE: You trained as a ballet dancer. What led you to change your focus to musical theater?
Lesley Ann Warren: When I was about 14, I lived in New York. I grew up in Manhattan. I had some friends who were in "Bye Bye Birdie" on Broadway and I use to go backstage and watch them. And I started to become enamored with musical theater. And I went to my first audition - I snuck out to an audition when I was 14 for the national company of "Bye Bye Birdie" and I got it. My parents wouldn't let me take it because they wanted me to finish high school, but I fell in love with musical theater and it took my dancing in a different direction.
EDGE: And you did a number of Broadway shows starting with "110 in the Shade"?
Lesley Ann Warren: Yes. It was amazing because I am the ingénue lead in that show and won the most promising newcomer award at 17, which was pretty staggering to me.
EDGE: Starring in "Cinderella" was your big break. How did that happen?
Lesley Ann Warren: It was incredible. It was because of Richard Rodgers. Oscar Hammerstein had passed just a few years before. Mr. Rodgers was like a godfather to me. He was so protective. My audition was with the musical supervisor and the choreographer and the director in his Park Avenue apartment. And he had me sit down next to him on the piano bench and taught me "My Funny Valentine." That was my audition. He created a feeling of being appreciated and loved. I felt so honored to be part of his world.
EDGE: How did you get to Hollywood?
Lesley Ann Warren: After "Cinderella," I went back to New York to do another Broadway show called "Drat The Cat!" and then was asked to do a screen test for Walt Disney for "The Happiest Millionaire." They flew me out to California and actually rehearsed for several weeks with costume fittings, hair fittings - it was very much like the old studio days with the full-screen test process. I loved it. I loved that I came to Hollywood at the tail end of the studio system. It was very exciting. And Walt Disney - it was his last film and his first non-animated, musical film. It was just great.
EDGE: You have made so many great movies, but I think to a lot of people you will always be Ms. Scarlett from "Clue." Few movies have achieved the cult status that it has. Why do you think that happened?
Lesley Ann Warren: I think a lot of times a movie comes out that isn't immediately embraced, but the excellence of them rises to the surface and people revisit it. That's what happened with "Clue." We were moderately well received when we came out, but then people revisited it and it gained cult status. Young people in their 20s come up to me and recite lines from the movie. They know it inside and out. I went to a screening here in Hollywood at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and "Clue" was one of the biggest ones they had. I had a ball making that movie. We drove the director crazy because we couldn't stop laughing at each other's work.
EDGE: And you were great in "Victor/Victoria." What was that experience like?
Lesley Ann Warren: I adored Blake (Edwards). I adored Julie (Andrews). It was a fantastic opportunity. Working with them was one of the most civilized time I ever had in Hollywood other than working with Disney. We would break every day at 4 for tea. On Fridays, we would stop shooting at 5. Blake didn't believe that people could be funny after 10 hours of work because he felt they would get too tired. It was the most creative and inspiring, but also stress-free environment I have ever worked in.
EDGE: Most of us in the LGBTQ community know of you from your recurring role on "Will & Grace" where you played the mistress to Will's dad (played by the late Sidney Pollack). Have there been any conversations about bringing you back to the show?
Lesley Ann Warren: You know I had a lot of talks with Max (Mutchnick) and David (Kohan), the creators of the show. They wanted me to come back, but we couldn't find as of yet to make sense of her coming back because she was the woman who stole Sidney Pollack, Will's father, from his mom, Blythe Danner. Sidney is gone and Blythe on the show has gone on to another relationship. As of yet, there hasn't been a way back in for my character on the show. I hope they find a way because I loved being on the show.
EDGE: You haven't stopped working since you were 17. What has been the key to your success?
Lesley Ann Warren: I don't know. I just finished a guest episode on "Daredevil," which is a Netflix series. And I just did a four-episode podcast with a bunch of terrific actors called "Blind Psychosis.." I feel very blessed. I love what I do.
Lesley Ann Warren appears in "Dancing To The Movies" with the Boston Pops on Saturday, June 9 at 2 PM and 8 PM at Symphony Hall, 301 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA. For more information, visit the Boston Pops website.

A $70 billion portfolio managed by hedge fund titan Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates is still struggling to overcome heavy summer losses that could lead some investors to place redemption notices in the last quarter of the year, sources familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The Bridgewater All Weather Fund is down roughly 7 percent year-to-date through August, after losing 1.4 percent last month and 6.22 percent in June, according to the two people who had seen the numbers but were not authorized to speak publicly about the fund's performance.
Continue Reading Below
The performance of the All Weather fund is being closely watched this year because many state and corporate pensions invest in the portfolio. The sources familiar with the All Weather performance said investors often make decisions about when to put in a redemption notice as it gets closer to the end of the year.
The fund rose 2.5 percent in July, helping to make a modest dent in the portfolio's earlier losses.
The All Weather Fund is known in the $2.25 trillion hedge fund community as a "risk parity" product and is a popular investment option for many pension funds. The strategy behind these products is that it promises to make money in most environments.
But rising interest rates have made fixed-income securities vulnerable to price losses and net outflows. The All Weather fund invested heavily in Treasury inflation protected securities, or TIPS, which have lost 8.89 percent year-to-date, according to the Barclays Capital U.S. TIPS Index.
In fact, the All Weather fund, launched in 1996, was a leader in investing in inflation-protected bonds.
Bridgewater spokespeople did not return calls seeking comment for this story.
In a recent research note to clients, Bridgewater continued to sound positive on U.S. growth despite the rise in interest rates.
The firm said U.S. growth has been strong enough to continue to produce a healthy pace of healing in labor markets and, at the current pace, would produce a full normalization in about two years.
"In the U.S., the improvement looks self-sustaining to us, though some further moderation in growth is likely as the effects of higher rates continue to flow through."
The All Weather Fund rose 14.7 percent last year, according to a year-end investor note reviewed by Reuters.

Erskine Bowles says being a university president is like being the CEO of a cemetery: "You've got lots of people underneath you, but ain't nobody listening."
Mr. Bowles served as president of the University of North Carolina from 2005 to 2010. But he more famously served in another position where nobody listened to him, as well.
Continue Reading Below
He was the Democratic co-chair of President Barack Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform with former Republican U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson.
"We face the most predictable economic crisis in history," Mr. Bowles said last week at an economic forum sponsored by BBVA Compass bank at The Ritz-Carlton hotel in Denver.
This was the same line I heard him use in December 2010 at a much cheaper hotel in Cheyenne, Wyo. That is when he and Mr. Simpson unveiled the largely ignored Simpson-Bowles plan.
That was about $3 trillion ago. The national debt is now $16.4 trillion, and there is no reason to believe it won't top $20 trillion by the end of President Obama's second term.
Why not make it $25 trillion? The House is set to vote this week on some legislation that Republicans put up to suspend the latest debt ceiling until May. Meantime, the Federal Reserve is still buying $85 billion worth of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities every month, and it's holding interest rates to nearly zero, which enables our government to borrow more.
If the U.S. wasn't borrowing and spending all this loot, it would be back in recession. What's better? A balanced budget? Or an economy that isn't, at least technically, in a recession?
We borrowed trillions of dollars and averted the Great Depression Part II. By most measures, our economy has grown since the big crash, albeit anemically and somewhat joblessly. So I asked Mr. Bowles if maybe the big spenders were right and he was wrong.
"You can't keep printing money forever," he said.
Yes, but nothing is forever. The "most predictable economic crisis in history" could still be a long ways off with all those other countries handing us their money. Take what you can now. This is the American way.
"These deficits are like a cancer," Mr. Bowles told his audience. "They are a cancer that will destroy our country from within if we don't start addressing them, now."
It seems nothing can throw him off his Chicken Little, fiscal responsibility game. He now is stumping for the "Campaign to Fix the Debt" that he and Sen. Simpson started.
He says the revenue that our federal government currently collects basically just covers entitlement programs--such as Medicare and Social Security--and the interest we must pay on our enormous debt.
"That means every nickel we spent last year, on the war, national security, homeland security, education infrastructure, research...was borrowed," he said. "And half of it was borrowed from foreign countries. That is crazy."
If we ever had to defend Taiwan against China--as called for in a longstanding treaty--we would have to borrow the money from China to do it, Mr. Bowles said.
"If you listen to these clowns in Washington on both sides of the aisle...all you ever hear them talk about are waste, fraud and abuse, foreign aid, oil subsidies, Nancy Pelosi's airplane. You could take these things and put them in a thimble as far as their relative degrees of importance."
Mr. Bowles, however, is something of a Washington clown himself. If Congress and the president wanted to cut the debt, they would have done it already. They wouldn't have appointed a committee.
This was pretension from the beginning. And then, when the committee couldn't agree on a way to even pretend to do it, Mr. Bowles and Mr. Simpson came up with their own plan. Did they really think they could pull it off by themselves against the will of a nation that refuses to be in a recession?
Mr. Bowles jokes that he prefers the name "Simpson-Bowles" to "Bowles-Simpson" since "everything in Washington is known by its initials." He also concedes that neither he nor Mr. Simpson have to run for re-election.
"These guys want to keep their jobs," he said. "It's hard to be re-elected if you tell people "I'm going to cut your benefits and raise your taxes.'" But that is what needs to be done.
His remaining hope is that enough Americans sign a petition at his website, fixthedebt.org, to give politicians enough political cover to do their jobs.
I asked Mr. Bowles if he was angry that nobody really listened.
"I am mad," he said. "I am frustrated. But I'm a true believer. I believe we have to do this. I'm not a quitter. I'm going to stay at it until the last dog dies."
Then maybe he really will see what it's like to be the CEO of a cemetery.

Hartley's disciplinary record
Northampton captain Dylan Hartley will face a disciplinary hearing in Dublin on Thursday.
The England and Saints hooker was cited for allegedly striking opposite number Rory Best with his arm during Northampton's Heineken Cup pool defeat against Ulster last Friday night.
European Rugby Cup has announced that Wales' Roger Morris has been appointed as independent judicial officer to hear the complaint against Hartley. He could face a ban of anything between two weeks for a low end entry point, to a maximum 52-week suspension.
Cardiff Blues' Wales international scrum-half Lloyd Williams has also been summoned to Dublin on Thursday after he was sent off for an alleged dangerous tackle against Montpellier two days ago.
And Newport Gwent Dragons flanker Jevon Groves faces a Thursday hearing as well following his red card for an alleged dangerous tackle during the Dragons' Amlin Challenge Cup victory over Italian side Mogliano last weekend.

In our last issue, we detailed the job of installing a Zip Products HD Dana 36 differential in our '96 C4 coupe. Although the installation itself went off without a hitch, all that loosening and retightening of suspension components exacerbated what previously had been only a minor problem with the Vette's rear ride height. Indeed, no matter how hard we cranked down on the stock spring bolts, the freshly modified car persisted in evincing the kind of arse-in-the-sky stance you might expect from a '79 Camaro running a pair of Gabriel Hijackers. Not cool.
To preserve our C4's handling balance and restore a measure of aesthetic respectability, we contacted Vette Brakes & Products in St. Petersburg, Florida. VB&P has been fulfilling the chassis and suspension needs of the Corvette market for more than 30 years, and today boasts what is arguably the most wide-ranging product lineup in the industry. The company sent us a kit containing a pair of custom-length lowering bolts and all the hardware required to install them on any '84-'96 model.
As we have so often in the past, we decided to farm out the work to AntiVenom, a highly regarded Corvette specialty shop in nearby Seffner, Florida. Although this is a job a skilled mechanic could conceivably perform in the driveway, access to a lift, an air gun, and a specialized spring-compression tool will reduce installation time considerably. In our case, AV's Greg Lovell and Casey Willard had the bolt kit in and the car's ride height set in just under an hour. Follow along now to see how they did it, and to check out the finished product.
E.T. Update
With our C4's new rearend properly broken in, we day-tripped it up to Gainesville Raceway to see what effect the differential's shorter 3.54 gearset had on quarter-mile acceleration. The jaunt also afforded us an opportunity to see how the fresh ring-and-pinion affected the car's fuel mileage and driveability, the two areas that traditionally suffer most as a result of such installations.
Since the lower (numerically higher) gears promised to boost the car's off-the-line snap, we augmented them with a pair of Nitto's NT555R radial drag tires measuring a brawny 315/35R17. Unlike some of the other "drag radials" on the market, the Nittos feature a wear rating of 100 and a tread pattern that makes them suitable for occasional street use. (Just be sure to keep your Vette's traction-control system engaged in day-to-day driving and keep a close eye on tread depth, especially if you plan to use these tires in the rain.)
Paired with the NT555Rs were a brace of Nitto's NT555 street-performance tires, sized 275/40ZR17. The standard-issue 555 has an overall look similar to that of its competition-bred "R" sibling, along with a treadwear figure of 300 and a more well-rounded overall performance envelope. If the idea of using the same set of tires for street and strip duty appeals to you, this combination of front 555s and rear 555Rs could be just what you're looking for.
As for driveability, the four-hour round trip revealed no new bad habits stemming from the differential swap. The Zip rear remained as smooth and noise-free as when we installed it, while the 3.54 gears put the car's 75-mph cruising rpm at a perfectly tolerable 2,400 rpm. A check of the trip computer at day's end, meanwhile, revealed an average-mpg figure of 20.0, which could easily have been improved upon by a less excitable driver.
Unfortunately, our track session proved something of an anticlimax. Given our previous best pass of 13.268, we were hopeful that the new gearset would, at a minimum, drop the car into the 13.1-second range. Instead, we could do no better than a 13.307 in the midsummer Florida heat, followed by a 13.321 before the sky opened up and cut short the day's activities.
Interestingly, the car did pick up more than 1 mph in trap speed (104.57, as opposed to our old record of 103.35), perhaps an indication that the lower axle ratio was putting the big LT1 more deeply into its power band at the top of the track.
Given that the C4 displayed no inclination whatsoever to spin the gummy Nittos off the starting line-and believe us, we tried-it's clear that either more power or a higher-stall torque converter will be needed at this point to make a significant impact on e.t.'s. We'll be addressing both in the near future, starting with a performance-oriented rebuild for the car's tired 4L60E trans. Stay tuned.

A "one-size-fits-all" farm bill approach may no longer be a good fit for agriculture, and it certainly doesn't fit the rice industry.
That seemed to be the gist of the comments made at a panel on "Farm Policy Outlook and Analysis: Where We Are and What that Means for Rice" at this morning's session of the USA Rice Federation's annual Outlook Conference in Austin, Texas.
The mini-farm bill proposal submitted by the House and Senate Agriculture Committees to the Select Committee on Deficit Reduction included a provision for target prices that could be used to provide revenue insurance coverage for the row crop commodities.
Although the Select or "Super Committee" approach failed, panelists at the Outlook Conference said provisions of the Ag Committees proposal could provide a starting point for the 2012 farm bill discussions. Unfortunately, some groups have complained the target price included for rice – $13.98 per hundredweight – was too high.
"One of my friends from a different commodity said we would plant 10 million acres of rice if that proposal became law," said Dr. Joe Outlaw, a panelist and co-director of the Agricultural and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M University.
"They seem to think that with a target price of around $14 per hundredweight that somehow we would find a lot of water and a lot of financing and land to put all this rice on. Frankly, I don't think it is very helpful to the process for people to be making those kinds of statements."
The Agricultural and Food Policy Center Outlaw helps direct provides detailed analyses of farm bill proposals for members of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees. The Center looked at about 25 of those during the preparations of the joint proposal to the Super Committee.
"Our work shows that all but two of the target price recommendations from one of the other commodity group's proposal would be below the cost of production for those commodities." (The average cost of producing an acre of rice in the U.S., according to the Center's analysis, is $13.10 an acre.)
"It's an unfortunate part of the process when the commodity groups do not at least acknowledge that there are differences regionally in cost of production and practices that need to be accounted for," Outlaw said in an interview. "As long as you keep the prices within the natural relationship the commodities have to each other, I don't think you're going to get any planting distortions like what was in the press recently."
Under the proposal developed for the Super Committee, producers would be able to choose between price or revenue coverage options for the life of the farm program. Outlaw believes such a choice would offer a much better fit for rice producers.
The House and Senate Ag Committees have been criticized for reportedly conducting "farm bill negotiations in secret" while preparing the budget proposal for the Super Committee.
Bart Fischer, a member of the House Ag Committee staff, told Rice Conference attendees that was not the case. "It was an accelerated process because we had far less time to, in effect, draft a farm bill, but all of the constituents had their say."

There are a number of presentations, articles and entries in this (and other) blogs that talk about how to use the IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java™ (Health Center, Memory Analyzer (and IBM Extensions!), GCMV, etc), but there's nothing like learning to use the tools by solving real problems - and preferably in an environment where there's no time pressure to get the problem fixed!
As a result, we've created a hands on exercise which we termed the "Troubleshooing Masterclass" which was used at IMPACT 2011, the European WebSphere Technical Conference and a number of other places. This exercise is now available online for anyone to run via the "SOA Sandbox".
What is the Troubleshooting Masterclass?
The Troubleshooting Masterclass is an exercise in debugging problems with a faulty application running in WebSphere Application Server. You will be using the tooling included in the IBM Support Assistant -- the Health Center, the Garbage Collection Memory Visualizer, and the Memory Analyzer -- to overcome common problems caused by a poorly implemented application: memory leaks, unexpected garbage collection cycles triggered by the system, and the performance hit from large application objects and HTTP session sizes. The tools in the IBM Support Assistant are included in the IBM Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools for Java™
What is the SOA Sandbox?
The SOA Sandbox is a cloud offering that provides a dedicated, hosted environment with IBM products already installed just for you. Each SOA Sandbox activity is centered around a simple, realistic customer exercise. You simply install a (provided) Citric client, and request to run an exercise. You then log into the exercise and run it remotely - everything is provided for you!
How long will it take?
The exercise should take between 1hr and 1hr 30 minutes.
Where do I find it?

Subscribe To Renegade X: Black Dawn C&C FPS Now Available For Free Updates
I've already subscribed
Based on an Unreal Tournament 3 mod, Renegade X: Black Dawn is a Command & Conquer style first-person shooter that incorporates all the vehicles and open-world mayhem into real-time action experience.
Indie developer Totem Arts announced today that Renegade X: Black Dawn's single-player campaign is currently available for download, right now. The best part about it is that it's free-to-play and contains all the high-quality action and entertainment values from a AAA big-budget title. The graphics are superb and the lighting and use of the shaders are implemented nicely, giving the game it's own, dark, distinctive look.
As stated on the official website...
First, I'd like to congratulate Totem Arts and the Renegade X community on its 5th anniversary! It's been five years since we originally announced Renegade X as an Unreal Tournament 3 mod. Since then, we've released five multiplayer betas on UT3, and in the past year and a half, we've been working on the standalone version of Renegade X. We hope the coming year is as kind to us as our previous years! And what better day to release our singleplayer campaign - Renegade X: Operation Black Dawn.
What's more is that a multiplayer version is also in the works where players will command tanks, helicopters, drop-ships and more as they battle for control of territories and resources, Command & Conquer style.
For the most part, if you've always wanted to experience what an epic, large-scale battle from C&C would be like on ground level as grunt trooper, well here's your chance.
To download the single-player campaign be sure to head on over to the Official Renegade X: Black Dawn Website.
