How to Choose the Right Mutual Funds
When Dave talks about mutual fund investing for retirement, he always says to choose "good growth stock mutual funds." But with thousands of funds to choose from, how do you know which ones fit the bill?
Mutual funds are like people. The only way to separate the good ones from the stinkers is to get to know them. But unlike people, you can find all the important information about a mutual fund on its printed prospectus or online profile. Here are six important features you'll need to review as you select funds to invest in:
This is a summary of the fund's goal and the types of investments it will make to achieve that goal. Look at funds that fall into one of the four categories Dave recommends: growth, growth and income, aggressive growth, and international.
Fund Manager Experience
As with any job, you'll want an experienced manager calling the shots for your mutual fund—someone with at least five to 10 years of experience. Keep in mind, though, that many managers mentor their successors for several years. So a fund with a new manager can be worth considering if the fund has consistently performed well.
Sectors refer to the types of businesses the fund invests in, such as financial services or healthcare. A balanced distribution among sectors means the fund is well diversified.
Performance (Rate of Return)
You want a history of strong returns for any fund you choose to invest in. Focus on long-term returns, 10 years or longer if possible. You're not looking for a specific rate of return, but you do want a fund that consistently outperforms most funds in its category.
Dave recommends front-end load funds in which you pay fees and commissions when you make your investment. It allows your money to grow without being bogged down by expensive management fees. Also pay attention to the fund's expense ratio. A ratio higher than 1% is considered expensive.
Turnover Ratio
Turnover refers to how often investments are bought and sold within the fund. A low turnover ratio of 50% or less shows the management team has confidence in its investments and isn't trying to time the market for a bigger return.
Make the Right Choice With Expert Advice
If this sounds like a lot of information to dig through and compare, you're right! The good news is you don't have to do it all alone. You can work with an investing advisor who understands that you're in charge of selecting your own retirement investments. One of Dave's investing Endorsed Local Providers (ELPs) will give you the guidance you need to choose the right funds for your retirement plan. Contact your ELP today!

WACO (October 12, 2012)--Two seminars will be offered at senior centers to warn of the possibilities financial exploitation.
"Financial exploitation is when a caretaker, family member, or anyone with an ongoing relationship improperly or illegally uses the money or property of a person who is elderly or has a disability to for personal benefit or profit," Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokesperson Julie Moody said.
Warning signs include sudden changes in bank accounts or banking practices, unexplained withdrawal of large sums of money, adding names to someone's bank signature card, unpaid bills despite large sums of money, unfamiliar people accompanying bank customers to withdraw money and sudden transfers of assets.
On Monday, Adult Protective Services will speak at the East Waco Senior Center on JJ Flewellen Road.
On Tuesday, they are scheduled to speak at the Kate Ross Senior Center on Cleveland.
Both events are scheduled for 10 a.m.
For more information, call Julie Moody at (512) 369-7146.

Trusty's Blog – 14th December 2012
Office Closure & Cold and Damp
At this time of the year, I get invited to so many social occasions which I am sure is due to my extrovert personality and incredible sense of humour. Being so popular and in such demand, my diary management is paramount in order that I can accept as many invitations as possible. In fact, as the party time of year starts to come into full swing, in order not to let anyone down I try and juggle my attendance so I don't have to say no and let anyone down.
I am approximately half way through my advent calendar and I always make a conscious decision to go with the flow and enjoy the festive food of the season I mean how can you worry about calories at a time like this? Mince Pies, roasted Chestnuts, Mulled Wine and Christmas Pudding - the list is endless and don't even get me started thinking of chocolate. I am a real chocoholic and with so much to choose from it's so hard to decide which treat I should purchase. Of course, I always end up buying far too much. Even with the selection boxes there are so many different manufacturers with so many different flavours. What a dilemma – if only life's problems were just like this all the time how simple life would be.
Last year I started my Christmas shopping earlier than I usually do and my how it paid off so I have decided to do the same this year. I really hate crowds and queuing up at the tills with all those frazzled mothers doing their last minute shopping with young children in tow. It's also part of my master plan of being organised and so far so good.
I have given myself a budget of how much I want to spend on each gift as it's so easy to get carried-away and end up spending far more than you originally planned. If I can't afford it, my motto is 'don't purchase it'. I mean, who wants any nasty surprises in January when the bills start to come in and it always seems to be a really long month financially. There is absolutely no way I am using a credit card. After all, who wants to start a new year in debt due to Christmas presents – not me!
There are so many bargains around I usually find by surfing the net I can find the best price before I head out to the shops or alternatively, I may purchase online. It's so convenient, sitting in front of the tv, cup of coffee and shopping at home – sometimes I don't even need to go out.
I will be spending the holidays at home this year and I am really excited to have some "me" time. I am looking forward to doing as little as I possibly can, just relaxing. Plenty of television and hopefully catching up on a film or two that I have been promising myself to watch. I had been invited to some friends in Scotland but the weather at this time of the year is very unpredictable and I have decided to visit them in the Spring when you can enjoy walking in the highlands with the wild heathers dancing in the moorlands rather than the temperatures you can endure in December.
One of the main issues that can affect many of us at this time of the year is the problem caused by cold damp weather and this in turn causes condensation.
This can be a major issue and is generally caused by the way we live. Most of this we can control ourselves and here are some ideas to help alleviate the problem.
Because air contains moisture, the warm air acts like a sponge and soaks it up. We tend to notice this most on windows on a cold morning and can also be seen on mirrors after a bath or shower, and on cold surfaces such as tiles or cold walls.
Typical problems caused by too much condensation are:
• Mould growth on walls and furniture
• Mildew on clothes & other fabrics
• Rotting window frames
• An increase in house dust mites
To tackle mould growth:
• To kill and remove mould, wipe down or spray walls and window frames with a fungicidal wash that carries a Health & Safety Executive (HS) 'approval number' and follow its instructions carefully for safe use. You can often buy these in supermarkets.
• After treatment, redecorate using a good quality fungicidal paint and a fungicidal resistant wall paper paste to help prevent mould growth recurring. N.B. The effect of fungicidal or anti-condensation paint is destroyed if covered with ordinary paint or wallpaper.
• Dry-clean mildewed clothes and shampoo any carpets. Don't try to remove mould by using a brush or vacuum cleaner
To reduce the levels of condensation to stop the problem recurring:
• Dry your windows & windowsills every morning, as well as any wet surfaces in the kitchen or bathroom
• Wring out the cloth rather than drying it on a radiator
• Cut down the moisture you produce in your home
• Increase your ventilation
• Reduce the number of cold surfaces
• In cold weather maintain a low level of heating
I do hope that you have found my suggestions helpful in tackling condensation as it can be such a nuisance and can also become very unsightly.
Over the holiday season our offices will be open on Thursday, 27th and Friday, 28th December.

A Message From the Sheriff
Dear Friends,
I want to take this opportunity to welcome the citizens of Palm Beach County and other visitors to The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office official website. I sincerely hope you will easily find the information you are looking for as you explore the many services we provide to the public. Since taking office as Sheriff in January 2005, it has been one of my goals to be more informative to the public through the use of modern technology. To achieve this, we are constantly...
working to make this website more user friendly and enlightening.

Festool saw blades are engineered and designed for cutting efficiency, long-life, and superior cutting results. The carbide tipped Aluminum/Plastic Cutting blade for the TS 55 Plunge Cut Saw is designed to cut non-ferrous materials, especially aluminum; also useful for acrylics and hard plastics. This blade incorporates a TC (Triple Chip), or trapezoidal flat tooth saw blade design, wherein the edges of alternating blade teeth are beveled on both sides. These beveled teeth alternate with the flat teeth when cutting into the material for smoother and more efficient cutting. This thin-kerfed blade design meets less resistance, for more efficient cutting, and produces less material waste. Laser cut expansion slots reduce vibration for faster, quieter cutting. An oversized 20mm arbor enables more secure fastening of the blade to the saw, further reducing vibration for more precise cutting.

5 Soldiers Who Kicked Ass In the Face of Death (and Logic)
#2. Admiral John Benbow Leads a Battle From His Hospital Bed
The Man:
During the War of the Spanish Succession back in 1701, the navies of Britain and France were in the Caribbean duking it out with cannons and broadsides. If you're curious what Britain and France were doing in a war for SPANISH succession, feel free to read up on it. It's complicated. We only bring it up so we can talk about Admiral John Benbow, who was there fighting for the British.
Specifically, the fact that he kept fighting after being hit by a freaking shot from a cannon.
"Never mind that. Let me sing you the song of my people."
The Perseverance:
It started when Benbow's fleet found four French warships with several supporting vessels. He ordered his ships to attack, and the two sides exchanged fire until nightfall. The next day, the French took to the seas and Benbow gave chase. Although the four French ships were more powerful, he was confident that his seven ships were up to the challenge. They probably were, too -- but we'll never know, seeing as the other captains were cowards. Benbow took potshots at the enemy several times, egging his cohorts along, but the other ships' captains refused to get near the French ships.
So Benbow decided to lead by example and engaged all four ships by himself.
The "let's sail between them really fast so they crash into each other" plan.
Five days of constant battle followed, with only one of the other English ships chipping in. Benbow took heavy damage, but managed to score some hits and even capture one of the French support vessels. The other British ships remained safely out of range, occasionally firing their guns in the general direction of the French for show and generally pussyfooting about.
Meanwhile, Benbow got hit with a blast of cannon chain shot, which shattered his leg. The painful injury meant he was confined to bed. So it's up to the next guy in line to take over, right?
Oh, hell no. Benbow just had his bed brought up on deck so he could remain in direct charge of the battle.
Hang on, his whole leg's missing here. Typical media overdramatization.
When it finally dawned on him that his support ships weren't just incompetent but were flat out refusing to obey his attack orders, he called off the attack and returned to port for a veritable orgy of cowardice-related court martial sessions, leaving the four vastly superior French ships to scrub the terror-pee off their decks.
#1. Benjamin F. Wilson Takes on the Chinese With His Shovel
The Man:
When the Korean War began, WWII veteran Lieutenant Benjamin F. Wilson ran down to the enlistment office to volunteer his services. However, the Army in the 1950s was a mere shadow of its World War II size and thus had no room for an extra officer. Wilson, however, was more interested in action than in rank, so this veteran shrugged and enlisted again, as a private. He was sent to Korea, rose quickly through the ranks and made first sergeant by the summer of 1951. So already you know this guy doesn't take no for an answer.
He was put in charge of men tasked with protecting a little place that would within days be known with the loving nickname of "Hell Hill."
Here is Limbo Dam, or Hell's Waiting Room.
The Perseverance:
As the first sergeant of his company, Wilson was both aware that a powerful Chinese attack was imminent and in position to remain in the background when shit would hit the fan. Instead, he wanted to be with his men. For his troubles, he received a nasty bullet wound in his leg when Hell Hill started earning its nickname. This, of course, did nothing to prevent him from launching into a determined lone-man charge where he single-handedly killed seven and wounded two enemy soldiers, sending the rest into panicked disarray.
"Maybe we've had enough war for a while."
At this point, most men opined that Wilson had done enough, what with the life-threatening wound in his leg and everything, and tried to get him to a nice, comfy M.A.S.H. station. They actually managed to place him down on the stretcher, but when stretcher bearers set him down to rest he immediately escaped and limped right back up the hill to defend the peak. The only problem: At this point everyone else was retreating, so he was now pretty much the only U.S. soldier on the offense.
He didn't actually realize this because his helmet kept falling over his eyes.
As everyone knows, a real-life situation where a lone wounded soldier stands against overwhelming odds never ends well for the soldier.
Unless, of course, said soldier features in a Cracked article, in which case he promptly charges the enemy ranks with his rifle, kills three enemy soldiers and scares the shit out of the others. When the enemy physically wrestled the rifle from his hands, he took his goddamn entrenching shovel and annihilated four more enemies.
This is barely any use against zombies at the best of times.
At this point, the Chinese soldiers decided that Wilson could just keep the damn hill and retreated.
Wilson, in turn, finally allowed the medics to patch him up. Although he did rip his wounds open again the very next day, when he killed 33 enemy soldiers in another one-man assault. At that point, the Army actually had to remind Wilson's wildly medal-recommending superiors that no one is awarded more than one Medal of Honor.

I am starting this thread to try and summarize everything on Building a new stadium on FM2011. I gathered most information from different threads on building a new stadium, attendances, and my long running save with Ajax.
I guess some of the game mechanics may work the same for other versions of the game.
I have found 4 factors that affect building a new stadium;
- Attendance
- Boardroom
- Finance
- '20 Years Rule'
I believe the most important factor in getting a new stadium is Attendance. Not only the average attendance, but in my opinion the most important hidden attendance, the so-called potential attendance were there seats available. Found when making a board request. Your hidden attendance should be higher than the current potential of your stadium in order to get a new one. Holland's population stayed the same at 16,5M, so a nation's population does not really seem to limit getting a new bigger stadium (I never coached in a very small country).
Potential Attendance in 2010,2020, 2030 and 2050;
If your 'attendance' is high enough, you have to persuade the Boardroom to build a new stadium.
Dealing with the boardroom is the most tricky part in getting a new stadium built.
First you have to make the request to build a new stadium. I believe a good reputation and relation with the club help. I have no experiences with getting a new stadium built recently after joining a club, so I think you have to be at the club for a while. For my 2nd and 3rd new stadium, I saved the game before making a board request, but both requests were approved immediately.
First, second and third stadium request;
If you get your request approved, the planning begins. Planning may take a few years and this is where a 'luck' factor comes into play. First planning seems to last one month or year, until the next shareholders meeting at the end of the season. There will be decided wether building begins or planning continues. If planning is delayed it may say planning will take three or four more years, but on next year's meeting a new decision will be made.
Planning and day before shareholders meeting;
If you save before the meeting, you may reload and have a new meeting if the outcome is not desired ('luck').
The higher your clubs reputation and attendance, the bigger the odds of succes I would think. I don't feel Finance has too much to do with it. You may have to have some money in your balance, but you can take out a big loan on the stadium and get stadium sponsorship which covers part of the costs. When building of a new stadium is approved, you get a news message informing you of the financing, building time and capacity of the new stadium.
New Stadium News, Balance, Income and Expenditure;
Building time depends on capacity I guess, and building may take a few months longer to complete. I think that if your new stadium has a retractable roof, local council board will always block expansion. At least that's my experience. I'm not sure wether a local council can also block a new stadium.
Expansion blocked;
Stadiums in FM2011 have a '20 Years Rule' where you cannot build a new stadium until the current stadium is 20 years old, to the year and not exact, so you can request a new stadium on the 1st of January when the current stadium is old enough. I don't believe there is any way such as a board takeover to get around this 20 year period.
Request on 1 jan 2063 and stadium overviews;
First new stadium in 2021, second new stadium in 2043 and third new stadium in 2065. One (and a half) year of planning and another year of building to bridge the gaps.
I would love to get some feedback on this.

Hundreds gathered at the March of Dimes annual Signature Chefs Auction in Bowling Green tonight.
It's stories of success like the Richards family. who nearly lost their daughter to preterm birth, that the March of Dimes hopes they can make possible.
"We cannot thank the March of Dimes enough for the surfactant therapy for Kayleigh's lungs... the 17P shots for Kyler. Everything they have done.. all their research... and everyone's support of the March of Dimes, because without the March of Dimes, we don't know where our family would be today," said March of Dimes Ambassador Family Stephanie and Adam Richards.
Their daughter Kayleigh was later diagnosed with spina bifida, but she went on to beat the odds again, and take her first steps at last year's March of Dimes Walk for Babies.
The March of Dimes is continually developing new research and therapies to prevent birth defects, prematurity, and infant mortality.
"Events like this help us raise money that fund research... community grants... education... advocacy... everything to help local people in our community have healthy babies," said March of Dimes' Mandy Skees.
Fifteen local restaurants donated their time and food to help the organization's cause.
"It's a way to give back. So many things if you don't have a whole lot of money, but you do have time, and I love to create pretty things, and this is a very good cause, they've been doing this for a long time from what I understand, but this is our first year," said Sweet Temptations Owner Dafnel Fulcher.
The event drew in nearly 300 people, and Skees hopes it will raise about $30,000 for March of Dimes to continue making a difference in the lives of families like the Richards.

Class and excellence highlights of Hamilton track sectional
There were brilliant and exciting races too numerous to count at the WIAA Division 1 Sussex Hamilton track sectional May 30.
Like veteran Homestead boys track coach Dan Benson said before the meet: "Give us all something to go 'woo' about!"
And though there were plenty of such "woo" moments, they were almost dwarfed by the acts of class and decency that were part and parcel of this joyous and thrilling event which sent qualifiers to next weekend's WIAA State Meet in La Crosse on the beautiful spring day.
At the top of the list was Whitefish Bay hurdler Adam Strehlow, who as winner of both the high and intermediate events at the North Shore Conference outdoor the previous week, he had every right to expect a run at state in both events this week.
But when asked to sacrifice the high hurdles in order to lend a hand and give the Blue Dukes a better chance at qualifying the 4x100 and 4x200-meter relays, he didn't four-step the opportunity.» Read Full Article
Man threatens ice cream truck driver because he didn't like music
A man was arrested after threatening an ice cream truck driver because he didn't like the music the truck was playing May 26.
According to the Whitefish Bay police report:
The man, age and residence not released, threatened the driver by throwing ice at the truck's windshield, damaging it in the 5100 block of North Diversey Boulevard about 7 p.m. May 26.
He yelled at the driver, "I have a gun, don't ever come back here."
The man told police he didn't like the music.» Read Full Article
New Salotto Zarletti in Mequon puts a new spin on Italian classics
Diners in Mequon were taking Salotto Zarletti's tagline of "a place to gather" seriously. They crowded into the bar; they filled the tables in the dining room. Waiting until the same day to make a reservation meant I could dine quite early or quite late.
A couple of weeks in at chef-restaurateur Brian Zarletti's new restaurant, and it looked as if the decision to open a place outside Milwaukee was a good one. The house was full.
Salotto means living room, but this isn't Nonna's cozy little sitting area in a bungalow; with a soaring, two-story ceiling, this is the suburban home of her upwardly mobile grandchildren.
The menu stands firmly in the present day, as well — classic dishes or ingredients, in a traditional appetizers-pasta-entrées format, but rendered in a modern way. The restaurant is billed as drawing inspiration from Italy's south, but with plates like veal milanese and others from the north, it's clearly not a rigid theme.
When a menu says the restaurant makes its own burrata ($9), the fresh mozzarella ball filled with cream and curds, who can resist? It's a luxurious treat, seasoned with sea salt and a splash of olive oil, and served with grilled bread.» Read Full Article
Germantown softball team's big bats earn it regional title over Nicolet
After last week's lackluster 4-1 loss to Homestead that broke the Germantown softball team's 51-game North Shore Conference winning streak, Warhawk co-coach Kurt Raguse read the team the riot act about its lack of aggressiveness at the plate.
Well, senior shortstop Erika Berry and the rest of the team heard the message loud and clear Thursday night, as the four-year letterwinning Berry hit a first pitch leadoff double to start the game and then launched a two-run homer in the second as the Warhawks cruised to an 11-2 WIAA regional final victory over North Shore rival Nicolet.
"It's kind of hard sometimes when you don't hit as well as you'd like to," said Berry, who finished with three hits on the night. "As a leader I just try to set an example. We all try to help each other out."
It succeeded as the Warhawks finished with 19 hits for the game.
The Warhawks (15-8 overall) will try to use that example as they take dead aim at their third straight WIAA State Tournament berth. They will host archrival Homestead at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 3 in a sectional semifinal game. The sectional final will be back at Germantown on Thursday, June 5. Top-seeded Brookfield Central will host DSHA in the other sectional semifinal.» Read Full Article
Homestead rides tidal wave of offense
Down 5-0 against a division foe it had already fallen to twice during the regular season, it would have been easy for the Homestead softball team to fold on Thursday evening. Instead, Homestead elected to hit.
The Highlanders (14-7) erupted for 15 unanswered runs as they stormed past Whitefish Bay, 15-5, in a WIAA Division 1 regional final at Thiensville Park. The game was called after a sacrifice fly from junior Michaela Rusch scored sophomore Julia Warshauer to give Homestead a final 10-run cushion in the bottom of the sixth.
"We fell into an early hole, but we were able to just stay positive and rally back," said Homestead junior Hannah Behnken. "We got used to their pitcher and were just able to find some holes and score runs."
The Blue Dukes (14-11) jumped out on Homestead starter Allie Beckers early, as a run-scoring double, single and sacrifice fly staked Whitefish Bay to a 3-0 lead after the first inning. They pushed their advantage to 5-0 in the second behind an RBI base hit by junior Allison Severin and a wild pitch that scored another run for the Blue Dukes.
"We knew from watching their pitchers that they can get a little wild at times," said Whitefish Bay head coach Jess Middendorf. "I told our girls to stay aggressive but swing at strikes. Our selectivity helped us to the early lead."» Read Full Article
Public meeting scheduled on fate of Estabrook Dam
The Milwaukee County Parks Department has scheduled a public meeting June 5 to discuss the fate of the Estabrook Dam on the Milwaukee River.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the upper level of the Blatz Pavilion at Lincoln Park, 1301 W. Hampton Ave.
Milwaukee County is under orders from the state Department of Natural Resources to fix or demolish the 1930s-era dam by Dec. 31. The county has proposed repairing the dam.
Before the DNR can approve plans for rebuilding the structure, however, the county must receive a temporary work access agreement from the federal Bureau of Land Management, owner of an island in the river at the dam site.
As part of an environmental study being done for the Bureau of Land Management, the county is evaluating the impacts of three options: dam reconstruction; dam removal; construction of a rock ramp on the river bed to provide a shallow pool of water for recreation should the dam be removed.» Read Full Article
Whitefish Bay girls soccer team beats Homestead to win NSC title
The Whitefish Bay girls soccer team didn't want to talk about winning the North Shore Conference title with a 7-0 record,
They didn't want to talk about their 11-game winning streak or their sparkling 16-2-3 record or their number one ranking in the state or the fact that they will be the number one seed in their WIAA D2 sectional bracket.
No, all the Blue Dukes wanted to talk about after beating Homestead, 2-0, to clinch the North Shore title Tuesday night was their blue good luck hair scrunchies,
"They're our superstition," said senior midfielder Caroline Fink, who scored the second clinching goal in the first half. "We decided to all get them. We don't know if they helped us go 7-0 in the conference but they definitely didn't hurt."
Then she pointed to the likely real reasons that the Blue Dukes won the league title this spring for the first time since the 2006-07 season.» Read Full Article

John McNeil Smith Jr. '41 LL.B. was a civil rights lawyer and state legislator in North Carolina who fought for desegregation and defended American communists targeted by the government for their political beliefs. He passed away on January 15, 2011, at the age of 92.
Smith practiced in Greensboro, N.C., where he took on clients that other lawyers refused to defend. Beginning in 1958, he served as co-counsel for Junius Scales, a Greensboro native convicted of advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government as a member of the Communist Party. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the conviction, but President John F. Kennedy commuted Scales' six-year sentence in 1962.
In the 1960s, Smith led negotiations between local businesses and students protesting against segregation in Greensboro. As a result of the negotiations, the owners of white-only businesses began opening their doors to African-American patrons.
Smith served in both the North Carolina House of Representatives and the state senate.
He is survived by four children: Louise "Chini" Nichols, Anne Cole, Eleanor Smith, and John McNeil Smith III.

My friend thinks it's because she has less air resistance but I'm not sure.
No, it's caused by conservation of angular momentum. Reducing air resistance won't cause her (or anything else) to speed up without an external force.
Like linear momentum ($m v$), angular momentum ($r \times mv$) is a conserved quantity, where $r$ is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by $m_i r_i v_i$. Thus bringing in her arms reduces $r_i$ for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.
Hope this answers your question.
Joe's answer is of course right and I gave it +1. However, let me say some slightly complementary things.
Whenever the laws of physics don't depend on the orientation in space, a number known as the angular momentum is conserved. For a rotating body - including the body of a lady - the angular momentum $J$ may be written as the product of the moment of inertia $I$ and the angular frequency $\omega$ (the number of revolutions per second, multiplied by $2\pi=6.28$): $$ J = I \omega $$ The moment of inertia $I$ is approximately equal to $$ I = MR^2 $$ where $M$ is the mass and $R$ is equal to the weighted average distance of the atoms (weighted by the mass) from the axis. (More precisely, I need to compute the average $R^2$.)
It's up to you whether she is spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise.
So if the ballerina pulls in her arms, she becomes closer to the axis, and $R$ decreases. Her mass $M$ doesn't change but the moment of inertia $I$ decreases, too. Because $J=I\omega$ has to be conserved and $I$ decreased, $\omega$ inevitably increases.
You may also explain the increased angular frequency of the rotation in terms of forces and torques. If the arms move closer to the axis, they exert a torque on the ballerina that speeds her up. I would need some cross products here but I am afraid that wouldn't be fully appreciated.
These issues were also discussed here:
Cheers LM
This is a fairly long answer, but I thought it would be fun to analyze the skater thinking solely about forces. Angular momentum comes in at the end, when it pops up inevitably. I'll give a qualitative answer describing the forces in the system and how they cause spinning, then a quantitative answer to calculate the spin rate.
Qualitative Answer
As an ice skater pulls in her arms a legs, her arms and legs exert a torque on her body, causing her to spin faster.
Set a plate in front of you. Try pushing on at in various places and in various directions. You can imagine an arrow pointing in the direction of the force, starting from the point where you're pushing. If this arrow points towards the center of the plate, the plate will not rotate. Otherwise, it will.
In this picture, the red arrows indicate forces on the gray plate. The force labeled "Spin" will induce some spinning in the plate (in addition to accelerating it as a whole) because the dotted line "j" of that force does not go through the center of the plate. The force labeled "NoSpin" will only accelerate the plate and not cause any spinning because it lies on a line that passes through the center of the plate.
There is nothing special about the circular plate in this example. Any other shape would work as well, but you would need to define the center point by the center of mass.
To see that the skater spins up as she pulls in her arms, we'll need to find the forces exerted on her body while she pulls her arms in. Then we can see whether these forces point straight towards the center of her body or not.
We'll model an ice skater as a circle of mass $M$ with a massless stick pointing through it, and two more circles of mass $m$ on either end of the stick. The skater can move the small circles inward or outward as she spins. Here's a picture of the setup, along with the path her "arms" (the small circles) trace out if she does not pull them in at all while spinning.
If you imagine holding something heavy in your arms while spinning, your arms would feel as if they're being pulled out of their sockets. In fact, they are. You arms exert a force on the weights straight inwards towards your body, and the weights exert equal and opposite force straight outward.
Each force is color-coded according to which body it acts on. $F_1$, for example, is the force exerted on the skater by the red arm. (This force is really exerted on the stick, which is rigidly attached to the skater.)
Both the blue forces lie on a line passing through the center of the skater, so the skater's spin rate doesn't change in this scenario. As long as she leaves her arms out, she'll remain spinning the same speed (neglecting friction or other losses of energy).
Now we imagine the skater pulling her arms in. If you watch the path the "arms" (small circles) trace out, you see a spiral shape.
Here, we show the two arms with both their past and future trajectories traced out. The arms are spinning around the skater while simultaneously being pulled in.
It will be more difficult to find the forces involved here. The arms are no longer moving in simple circles. However, at any given instant, there is a particular circle along which a given arm appears to move. This is the osculating circle. As before, there's a force on the arm pointing in towards the center of the osculating circle.
This is not the whole story, because we can no longer assume that the speed of the arms is constant. Hence there may also be a force on the arms in the direction of their motion. In the next picture, we'll draw only the forces on one arm, just to keep things from getting too cluttered.
This picture is zoomed in on one arm. The blue circle is still the skater. The green circle is the osculating circle. $F_r$ is the centripetal force towards the center of the osculating circle that curves the arm's path, and $F_t$ is a (small) tangential force in the direction of motion that speeds the arm up.
Without knowing just how fast the arms are moving, how much they're accelerating, and the equation describing their trajectory, it's hard to tell precisely what the sizes of these forces will be. However, we can see that the forces in general have no obligation to point towards the skater's center any more. She can change her spin rate because the forces may not necessarily lie on lines that pass through her center.
In order to see just what these forces are, we need to do an quantitative analysis.
Quantitative Answer
The plan of this answer is to find the forces on the arms as they spiral in, then use Newton's third law to find the forces the arms exert on the stick. Next, we'll relate these forces to the rate of change of the energy of the skater. The energy of the skater can also be calculated from her motion directly, so we'll do that, take a time derivative, and compare to our previous expression. This will reveal a conserved quantity, the angular momentum, which allows us to find the skater's rotation rate as a function of the initial conditions and the final distance of the arms from her center - the details of the shape of the spiral and how fast the arms are pulled in do not matter. Finally, we'll see that the skater spins faster and faster as she pulls her arms in.
We'll use polar coordinates to describe the positions of the arms. The radial coordinate $r$ of arm 1 is some function of its angular coordinate $\theta$.
$$r = f(\theta)$$
With the definition $\omega = \dot{\theta}$, we have
$$\dot{r} = f'\omega$$ $$\ddot{r} = f''\omega^2 + f'\dot{\omega}$$
The acceleration in polar coordinates is
$$\vec{a} = \hat{r}(\ddot{r} - r \dot{\theta}^2) + \hat{\theta}(2\dot{r}\dot{\theta} ^2 + r\dot{\omega})$$
The force on this arm is given by Newton's second law, $\vec{F} = m\vec{a}$. The force the arm exerts on the stick is the negative of this, by Newton's third law. This force of the arm on the stick is what we're interested in.
As the stick spins, the force of the arm on the stick does work on the stick, which goes into the kinetic energy of the skater (the stick itself has no mass). The velocity of the point on the stick where the force is applied is $\vec{v} = f\omega\hat{\theta}$. The power delivered by this force, doubled to include the work done by the other arm, is
$$P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v} = -2m\omega f(2f'\omega^2 + f\dot{\omega})$$
This is the rate of change of the kinetic energy of the skater. That kinetic energy is
$$ T = \frac{1}{2}M (R \omega)^2$$
with $R$ the radius of the skater. If we equate the power to the time derivative of the kinetic energy, we get
$$MR^2\dot{\omega} = -2mf(2f'\omega^2 + f\dot{\omega})$$
If you stare at this and scratch your head a moment, it's mathematically equivalent to
$$\frac{\textrm{d}}{\textrm{d}t}\left(\omega(MR^2 + 2mf^2)\right) = 0$$
This means we've discovered something that doesn't change in time - a conserved quantity. It's called the angular momentum, and the part $MR^2 + 2mf^2$ is called the moment of inertia. We denote the angular momentum by $L$ and (switching back from $f$ to $r$) write
$$L = \omega(MR^2 + 2mr^2)$$
Because $L$ is a constant, we can find $\omega$.
$$\omega = \frac{L}{MR^2 + 2mr^2}$$
We've got the angular frequency as a function of $r$ only - the precise function form of $f$ didn't matter, and neither did how quickly we traversed the path. As long as we know $L$ from the initial conditions, we've solved the problem.
$$\frac{\textrm{d}\omega}{\textrm{d}r} = \frac{-4m L r}{(MR^2+2mr^2)^2}$$
we see that, assuming $L$ is positive, as $r$ goes down, $\omega$ goes up, so the skater goes faster and faster as she pulls in her arms.
A very simple explanation is the following: the arms of the ballerina are pulled outwards by the centripetal force she experiences by spinning. When she pulls her arms in, she is doing work by more than counteracting this force and this is what makes her spin faster.
This is due to the fact that the spin velocity is related to the effort that the ballerina makes in pulling in her arms. The closer the arms, the more force she has to use to pull them in future or keep them in position, and the faster she spins.
When I was in high school, we did a more hardcore version of this experiment by sitting on a chair that could spin, holding two heavy weights outwards. Then someone would spin the poor test subject and ask him to pull in the weights... The results were quite scary... :-)
Yes the skater does increase the angular momentum by doing work; pulling her arms in. You do work on a swing (sitting up and down) to increase your angular momentum likewise.

I heard that putting the javascript in the html code isn't good for SEO and that it's better to put it in a .js file. It's clear that it makes the code more understandable but is it the only reason?
Other reasons to keep JavaScript in external files:
Note that using JavaScript should make little difference to SEO (externally or internally) unless:
In the case of 1, it's best not to create links with client-side JavaScript when you can. In the case of 2, it's good practice to minify stylesheets and JavaScript, then combine files to serve it with as few HTTP requests as possible.
If you include the JavaScript in the HTML, then the user has to download the JavaScript for every page they view that needs it.
If you make it an external file, then they have to download it once, which is slightly slower than including it in the page, because of the extra HTTP request. However, after that, it will be cached and they don't need to download it again.
In terms of the impact on SEO, that's the benefit - your site is quicker, which Google rewards greatly.
This means that if you have a piece of JavaScript that a user is going to need repeatedly, it should be external. If it's a one-off, you should include it on the page to reduce the number of HTTP requests.
Examples of where on-page JavaScript could be beneficial:
For code management, you are still best to develop with the code in an external file and then use a deployment script to grab the code and insert it for the production version of your code.
Finally, shared libraries like jQuery should always be external, because they will often already be cached in a visitor's browser from another site they visited.
There are two additional reasons for external JS files.

Clash of Clans is one of the most captivating free-to-play multi-player strategy game that allows you to build, expand, defend, and lead your clan to victory. The game has attracted international players giving you the opportunity to challenge players worldwide.
It was initially created by Supercell in 2012 and has since revolutionized, adding most attractive features that let you collect more trophies, building a solid base, and farming for more resources. It is available in Google play store, as well as the iTunes store. You can also enjoy the game both on your Android and iOS devices.
Simple and Useful Tips for Clash of Clans
Initially, you are given a plot of land to build your base and acquire more resources. One of the common mistake many players make during the initial stage involve quick production by using inappropriate units in battle out enemies, which at the end depletes you gems and this may lead you to give a second thought of a premium currency system to further your next strategy. So, to avoid this premature depletion of your precision gems, you need to invest in long-term and cost-effective resources that will lead you to more victories in the next stages. You can also use a Clash of Clans hack which will get you free gems Clash of Clans after verification.
The choice to either use Barbarians, Goblins, Giant, dragons or Archers to battle must be influenced by your next step to avoid spending more now when you can use other relatively cheaper units during battle. Next, you need to be a better strategist and always ahead of your enemies by ensuring you complete every mission to pave way for the next action. Doing this helps you remove all possible physical barriers while bettering off your gem count, which is invaluable throughout the game.
Don't get stuck doing one particular action in Clash of Clans at a time. Instead, multitask by always being on the lookout for the next exposed resources collectors and employing a few and appropriate units to battle out. This way, you will have a strong base that will enable you to defend your clan, attack and conquer your enemies to build a huge kingdom that expose you to battle out with more international players.
Top secret on How to Play Clash of Clans on Android
Android players always encounter one of the most decisive moment, especially upon getting Town Hall 5 onwards. This is one of the trickiest parts that you can choose to either continue building your kingdom and farm for additional resources or enjoy collecting more trophies.
Either way, you have to labor for it. For instance, choosing to build your kingdom and collecting more resources exposes your Town Hall to your enemies as it is positioned at the bottom left corner. This gives you about 12 hours to either build your kingdom or hunt for more resources. Within twelve hours, you can possibly make one or two strikes at your enemies thereby increasing your wealth in Clash of Clans edelstenen.
On the other hand, you can use all possible means at your disposal to protect your centrally-positioned Town Hall, earning you more trophies in return. Now you can comfortably play Clash of Clans, dominating the real and leading your clan to inevitable victory.

Gov. Steve Beshear has signed a bill giving broader investigative powers to a state panel that reviews serious cases of child abuse and neglect in Kentucky.
Beshear created the panel last year by executive order. But the law he signed Wednesday gives panel members deeper access to case files involving children who died or suffered serious injuries.
The law also allows panel members to discuss certain cases in private to protect victims' identities.
The 20-member panel began reviewing cases earlier this year. It is tasked with making recommendations to social services agencies on how to improve abuse investigations. Panel members have already said that more training is needed to better serve Kentucky's children.

Student Travel Warning Policy
SLU Policies Regarding U.S. State Department & Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Travel Warnings
Saint Louis University recognizes the risks to safety and security of students who travel internationally, and particularly to students who travel to countries in which the U.S. Department of State or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a travel warning. The University reserves the right to cancel or suspend any program of study, research or service at any time in its sole discretion if it determines that there is unnecessary or significant risk to participants.
Ebola in West Africa
Please note that Saint Louis University does not currently support student travel to Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone at this time, due to Ebola concerns. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak to be an international emergency, but has not classified it as a pandemic. At this time, we believe the Saint Louis University campus community is at a low risk of exposure to the virus; however, we are closely monitoring the WHO, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and our local state and county health department advisories.
For more information on the Ebola virus disease, visit the WHO or CDC websites or refer to the CDC's Ebola Fact Sheet.
Anyone planning a trip home to West Africa or experiencing flu-like symptoms after returning from travel in the region should contact the Student Health Center (314) 977-2323.
Program Suspension
Saint Louis University reserves the right to suspend approval of any program of study, research or service by Saint Louis University students in a country under a U.S. Department of State or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention travel warning or for any other reason or condition that, in the University's sole determination presents unnecessary or significant risk. The International Travel Advisory Committee will determine if program suspension or cancellation is warranted.
Written Appeals to Amend Suspended Programs
Departments, units or individual students who wish to administer or participate in student international travel in a country under a current U.S. Department of State or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention travel warning may request to appeal the program suspension through the International Travel Advisory Committee.
The department, unit or individual student requesting the appeal must submit a Special Petition to Travel to Restricted Regions to the International Travel Advisory Committee, through the Office of International Services. Departments or units administering programs in a country under a current travel warning and requesting an appeal may complete the Special Petition on behalf of the group or program. Individual students requesting an appeal for independent program participation in a country under a current travel warning must complete the Special Petition individually.
The International Travel Advisory Committee will review appeals on a case by case basis, in light of all of the surrounding facts and circumstances in a given country and any other information which the Committee may deem relevant in determining whether or not to suspend the program or permit students to go abroad and study independently or for credit.
As a condition of granting the appeal, each student participating in the program must complete and sign the Safety and Security Assessment and Statement of Understanding, Risk and Responsibility, assuming all the risks and releasing the University from any future liability for his or her personal choices.
Please note that travel warning waivers are granted to individual programs and not countries. Each program within a country under a Travel Warning is required to submit a formal appeal.
Travel Warnings Implemented Once a Program is Underway
If a program is currently underway when a Travel Warning is announced, and there are circumstances that pose an immediate threat to student health or safety, the International Travel Advisory Committee has the discretion to suspend a program and begin evacuation proceedings immediately.
If a program is currently underway when a Travel Warning is announced for the first time, but there are no circumstances that pose an immediate threat to student health or safety, the International Travel Advisory Committee, will monitor the situation and evaluate whether a waiver may be warranted or if the program needs to be immediately canceled or altered.
Cancelled Program Refund Policy
If Saint Louis University cancels a program prior to departure, the University will make every effort to retrieve any recoverable costs. Unrecoverable expenses, such as airline tickets, however, cannot always be refunded. As refunds are not always possible, students may want to consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance that can be obtained through many travel or insurance agents.
If Saint Louis University cancels a program after it has commenced due to safety or security concerns, refunds will be determined on a case by case basis.

Let $f\colon\thinspace G\to H$ be a surjective homomorphism of finitely generated groups. Are there any methods to decide whether $f$ factors through a free group? That is, does there exist a free group $F$ and homomorphisms $g\colon\thinspace G\to F$ and $h\colon\thinspace F\to H$ such that $f=h\circ g$?
I know of one necessary condition, given by cohomology. If $f$ factors through a free group then $f^*\colon\thinspace H^i(H;M)\to H^i(G;M)$ is zero for all $i>1$ and all $H$-modules $M$ (since free groups have cohomological dimension one).
This question was inspired by Tom Goodwillie's answer to my earlier question on cohomological dimension of group homomorphisms.
