A few items of interest on the intermarriage beat:
-Rivka T. Cohen has a heartbreaking article on Huffington Post about the shoddy treatment she's gotten from some observant Jewish peers at her college Hillel. In "I Was Raised Orthodox, But I Am Not Considered 'Jewish Enough' To Keep The Sabbath," Cohen, a senior at Princeton, writes about how her mother's Conservative conversion — and by extension, Cohen's authenticity — came under attack only when she got to college.
Yes, I know the traditional response: this is not her Orthodox classmates' fault, but, rather is the fault of the Reform and Conservative movements for doing things their own way, rather than deferring to Orthodoxy. I don't buy it. Whether or not one believes Cohen is halachically Jewish, one can and should treat her with respect and sensitivity. It never ceases to amaze me how so many Jews lament American Jewry's disinterest in communal involvement, while at the same time pushing away eager participants like Cohen.
-And check out the latest from Lehava, an Israeli group whose main purpose seems to be preventing Jewish women from becoming romantically involved with Arabs, or other non-Jews. When I last wrote about them, Lehava activists were appearing before a Knesset committee, alongside Yad L'Achim, a group that conducts paramilitary rescues for unhappily intermarried Jewish women and their children who are living in Arab villages. Now, they're getting a little creative, distributing on the streets of Jerusalem mock wedding invitations announcing the nuptials of a nice Jewish girl to a Mohammad.
According to Ynet's translation, the "invitation" asks you to join Michal and Mohammad as they celebrate their marriage on a Friday night at the Shahid (martyr) events hall in Ramallah. Next to the invitation the ad reads: "If you don't want your daughter's wedding invitation to look like this then…Don't let her work with Arabs or do national service with non-Jews, don't let her work in place that employs enemies and don't bring home migrant workers…"
If my translation is correct, the rest of the flier says: "do good, guard [protect?] your daughter. We have enough problems ..."
One does not have to be an advocate for the intermarried to find this shockingly offensive (not to mention ineffective). I am hardly calling for widespread Jewish-Arab intermarriage, although interestingly Brazil's foreign minister, Antonio de Agular Patriota, did exactly that last week, citing intermarriage as a possible solution to the ongoing Mideast conflict:
While participating in a Q&A with AJC head honcho David Harris, Patriota said he was encouraged by all the intermarriage he saw between Jews and Arabs in Sao Paulo, remarking that "if it can happen there, it can happen anywhere."
Presumably he hasn't yet been invited to Michal and Mohammad's gala event in Ramallah.

Jewish women who marry Islamic men in Israel automatically lose many of their civil rights, rights which we as americans, as Jews, Israelis, take for granted. The woman in a muslim marriage is under the control of her husband, the children become PROPERTY of the husband (not wife), the husband is allowed to beat his wife.
What sane Jew could possibly be in favor of this type of marriage?
What sane Jew would NOT want to prevent these marriages?
it is always muslim MEN getting off with jewish WOMEN. NEVER the other way round. If a muslim woman would be seen together with a jewish man, her family would murder her! Every year thousands of young muslim girls are being killed, as they are suspected to have a boyfriend or non-muslim friend...
Dear Julie:
Thanks for covering the story about Rivka T. Cohen. No half-Jewish person should be asked to serve as a "shabbas goy" for other Jews and advised that she shouldn't date other Jews because she is not Jewish enough.
Also thanks for mentioning the activities of Yad L'Achim and Lehava. The group I lead, the Half-Jewish Network, has been watching the activities of these Israeli Orthodox groups for some time and we believe their real motivation is to break up Jewish/Arab intermarriages and prevent Jewish/Arab romantic relationships from forming.
Robin Margolis
Half-Jewish Network
As a proud supporter of Yad L'Achim many varied activities, not just those rescuing Jews from Arab Moslem families, -- as I would hope any Jew would be --, let me note that even Ms Wiener notes that its rescue efforts are directly toward "unhappily married Jewish women and their children living in Arab villages" (that is, with Moslem husbands and their extended families). Please note that in Islamic law, children (all past age 7) become the exclusive property of the Moslem husband. That if the wife realizes her marriage is not for her, or for her children, she faces increased abuse if not mortal harm from the Arab Moslems. Should the woman have adopted Islam in the deal, well, we know what happens to those in the Arab world who seek to leave Islam.
As for Jewish young woman, naive in the world, is it such a horrible thing that they be encouraged to think twice about leaving their family, their religion, their nation, to become part of a Moslem family? The young men make promises, seem to open, but once the woman enters the family, in most cases, the trap closes. The woman becomes the slave of the mother-in-law. What is next, further down the road? A second or third co-wife, or perhaps already existing other wives?
And the point of citing the idiotic suggestion of the Brazilian foreign minister (a country noted for its alliance with the Arab world)?
Perhaps Rivkah Cohen could be a worthy contributor to your pages. This piece by Wiener fails any test of worthiness. Another potshot at Jews who care for their people -- Yad L'Achim..

We are so very gratful for all our supporters and donors over the years, and for Global Giving for providing a platform for us to expand upon our fundraising for our organization.
This past year was a very bumpy sea for us to navigate. The troubled economy put a dent in our regular donation income stream, and then we had to plan for a move of location for our operations.
How does one raise over $250,000 in a troubled economy? How does one face the fear that all the animals depending upon us to continue to care for them after we have pulled them from the depths of hell?
We rolled up our sleeves, we got creative and we begged. Fortunately, there are many caring people out there and as they heard of our need, they gave. We have not raised the entire amount, but we raised enough to keep us going and to get into the property.
We have moved into our new facility and our rescues are safe. There is so much more to be done to finish the facility, which means we have to raise more money, but again, we can do it. We will continue to look for creative ways to fund our project, look for matching grants for donations, look for ways to get our story out there, and yes...beg.
The Give Me Shelter project raised just over $10,000, which included $2,300 of matching grants from Global Giving, we thank everyone who helped us reach this goal, now let's move forward and keep it going!
Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.

"Jesus is the Reason for the Season" kneeling Santa ornament is a simple ornament with a powerful message. A great addition to the family tree, or will add a special touch to a gift-wrapped package.
|Suzanne Pecharich (Aurora, Illinois, November 25, 2015)
|Lovely ornaments. I'm giving one to each of our 10 grandchildren this year. One small problem, two of the ornaments had a glued stuck bell clacker, so had to dig inside to free it. Otherwise, thanks for the reasonably priced gifts.
|EA (Covington, La, December 30, 2010)
|Had never before seen a 'kneeling Santa"! This is a keepsake ornament that earns it's name: keepsake! It is small, but one can choose other, larger kneeling Santa statues. This was perfect as intended...a Christmas ornament.

Take the Plunge for Polar Bears and Lower your Thermostat by Two Degrees
Join us in celebrating International Polar Bear Day by taking Polar Bear International's Thermostat Challenge to save energy for polar bears—and then make it a habit. At the Cincinnati Zoo, we believe in being responsible with our natural resources, which includes reducing our carbon emissions on behalf of future polar bear – and human – generations to come!
Did you know that heating and cooling account for roughly half the energy consumption in an average home? If every American adjusted their thermostat by just one degree, it would save as much energy as the entire state of Iowa uses in a whole year!
When we burn fossil fuels like coal and gas for energy, those activities release more and more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. This buildup of carbon acts like a thickening blanket around the earth, trapping in excess heat and disrupting our climate. As global temperatures rise, the amount of sea ice available for bears is continually reducing. Polar bears require sea ice for efficient hunting of their primary prey, seals. On average, it takes 45 seals a year to feed one adult polar bear. Without sea ice, polar bears will decline in range and numbers, making them vulnerable to extinction in the future. The key here is that our community's daily activities have an impact on the Arctic and the animals that live there. In order to ensure that these wildlife and wild places will be thriving years down the road, it is our responsibility to take action now and reduce the amount of carbon our societies create.
So join us in saving polar bears by turning your thermostat down two degrees this winter, and encourage your family and friends to do it, too. It will give you a good excuse to pull that Snuggie out of the closet and wear those new fuzzy slippers you got over the holidays.

Bom dia from Brasil!
For more than 20 years, Dr. Bill Swanson (CREW's Director of Animal Research) has been working in Brazil to conserve Latin American felids (animals in the cat family). I was fortunate to get to travel with him to Associação Mata Ciliar (AMC), a non-profit organization that promotes the conservation of over 300 plant and animal species. AMC's Centro Brasileiro para a Conservação Dos Felinos Neotropicalis (Brazilian Neo-Tropical Feline Conservation Center) is the largest feline conservation center in the country, which houses eight of the ten cats endemic to Latin America. Habitat loss and poaching have threatened most of these species with extinction in all or part of their natural ranges. Specifically, we've come to AMC to work with jaguars and tigrinas, but more on that later.
The Associação Mata Ciliar is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 dedicated to developing projects for conservation. CREW has been partnering with AMC for 16 years to conserve Latin American Felids.

Also under the AMC umbrella is the Centro de Reabilitação de Animais Silvestres (Wildlife Animals Rehabilitation Center), offering medical treatment and care to injured wildlife from all over the São Paulo region. Many of the injuries are the result of vehicle strikes, wildfires, or hunting. Other animals come to the center because they were confiscated from wildlife traffickers. AMC gives these animals a chance to return to their natural habitat and contribute to the survival of their species, a powerful tool for the imperiled wildlife of Brazil.
Stay tuned for more updates from Brazil!
AMC often cares for wild-born kittens that are confiscated from wildlife traffickers or displaced from their homes due to habitat loss.

Happy Penguin Awareness Day!
To celebrate everyone's favorite feathered friends, let me introduce you to all five species of penguins that call the Cincinnati Zoo home:
The areas highlighted in yellow on the range maps show where each of these penguin species is found in the wild. As you can see, while all of our penguins hail from the Southern Hemisphere, not all of them live in cold, harsh climates. In fact, three out of the five species we have prefer the warmer weather of Africa, South America, and Australia/New Zealand. Believe it or not, there is even a tropical species that lives on the Equator; the Galapagos penguin (though we don't exhibit that species at the Zoo).
You might think that climate change wouldn't be a big problem for the warm weather penguins since they are already used to the heat. It's true that the Antarctic species suffer directly from melting ice and the die-off of krill, their primary prey, but the African penguin may be in bigger trouble. Even though it lives in a warmer climate and doesn't live on ice, the African penguin still relies on a cold ocean current to bring its favorite fish, sardines and anchovies, within reach. As the ocean temperature rises, the cold stream moves farther away from the islands off Africa where the penguins live and makes it more difficult to find enough food.
Add to that the threats of oil spills and guano collection, which disturbs natural nest sites, and you can see why the African penguin population has declined more than 60% in the past 30 years. That's one reason why zoos are coming together to strengthen their efforts to save the African penguin.
The African penguin is one of 10 wildlife species the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) has committed to saving through the AZA SAFE initiative. Through AZA SAFE, AZA and its members will convene scientists and stakeholders to identify the threats, develop action plans, raise new resources and engage the public in saving the selected species.
A Conservation Action Plan is currently under development for the African penguin and will focus on the following actions:
- Develop appropriate types and numbers of artificial nests for all colonies; facilitate long-term monitoring to assess success.
- Expand monitoring of resident and reintroduced penguin inter-colony movement, nest site fidelity, and survival.
- Expand monitoring of penguin foraging and other movement patterns in the marine environment.
- Measure baseline environmental and animal-absorbed contaminant levels and conduct long-term monitoring to assess changes as oil drilling increases.
- Strengthen disaster response and penguin rescue and rehabilitation capabilities across all colonies.
In the last three years alone, 20 AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums contributed about $95,000 to African penguin conservation efforts, but we need to do more. That requires us to partner with organizations on the ground saving penguins in the field. One such organization is SANCCOB (the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds), which the Cincinnati Zoo supports with funds raised from our Saving Species and VIPenguin Experience programs.
SANCCOB is a leading marine organization that has treated more than 90 000 oiled, ill, injured or abandoned African penguins and other threatened seabirds since being established in 1968. SANCCOB is an internationally recognized leader in oiled wildlife response, rehabilitation and chick-rearing; contributes to research which benefits seabirds; trains people to care for the birds and educates the public to appreciate this unique heritage. Independent research confirms that the wild African population is 19% higher directly due to SANCCOB's efforts, and we are proud to work with them. Learn more about the great work they're doing in this video.

From a 11 year reader of usa today - i will not be buying your newspaper any longer. your recent price increase to $1.00 per copy comes just 2 years after the last price increase from 50 cents to 75 cents. what is the justification now in increasing the newspaper cost by 100% in just two years? other than gasoline, i don't know of any other product or service that i buy regularly that has gone up this much. and don't tell me you have to due to fuel prices. gas prices have now dropped back to 2004 prices. in 2004, usa today was 50 cents.
please, roll back your price in light of the terrible economic recession we are experiencing. if you do not, i will never buy your newspaper again.
i am a former reader of usa today.
As a carrier for USA TODAY, I was rather miffed when we were expected to a take a CUT in our price when a twenty-five cent increase went into effect!!!
USA TODAY gave themselves an eighteen cent increase, but wanted us contractors to take a cut!
I know times are tough for print media, but you don't get a hike in pay, and expect others to take a cut!
Lighten up.
Definition: at one's convenience
maybe you should make a new years resolution to discover what "at leisure" is.
Times change - read the newspaper online - for free!
We're not living in the 14th century.
Technology has changed how we get news. We fly or drive to get places - not walk or by horseback or take the ship.
alot of people prefer reading the printed paper vs. online. Totally different experience. And also note, you ARE paying whoever for your on-line service every month. Nothing is really for free.
You need not expect a sympathetic audiance in the GCI investors on this board.
While greed is not good, profit is what signals what services to provide. That signal was not very strong in Detroit and so every day home delivery does not occur in Detroit at any price. Home delivery, thus, does not bring such riches - even at current prices - as to ensure its continuence.
Indeed, since circulation is the provider of the audiance for advertising, there is very little incentive for newspapers to drive away subscribers with high rates --- it is not very likly that you are victem of greed.
If 1 doller destroys the utility you get from home delivery that is reason enough to stop subscribing. If you further need to charge greed, that would seem a reach against a company in an industry where bankruptcy is a common enough fate. It is not everyone who believes newpapers are make exploitive profits. Perhaps you might buy the stock of such a company!
The home delivery subscription price per the USAT web site varies from 73 cents to 80 cents a copy, depending on the length of the subscription. What commodity can you get delivered to your home or office for less than a buck a day?
Internet information is FREE!
how much does your daily coffee or latte cost?! I would say that at $1.00 for the paper, that's quite a deal, and quite a value. If the price needs to be raised again, so be it. Newspapers are one of the BEST VALUES around, and provide quite a service, which I will be willing to pay for at any cost.
The newspapers WERE a great source of in depth information. But that era is gone.
The information on the internet is free, updated constantly, and delivered instantly.
Internet wins, no contest. It's time to papers to pull the plug on their business model.

Today is the 5th anniversary of Gov. Jennifer Granholm's promise that Michigan residents would be "blown away" by the gobs of jobs her latest economic development program would create. How ironic then that she of all people would flee the state to find work. She is certainly not the first governor to do so, but her failed promise of economic nirvana—timed to coincide after she had safely left office—is one that should not be forgotten by those left behind.

Herald staff | email@example.com
Published: Thursday, July 3, 2014, 4:19 p.m.
Candidates for Lynnwood fire chief to be interviewed Monday
Herald staff
LYNNWOOD — City leaders expect to name a new Lynnwood fire chief in the coming weeks.
Three final candidates for the position will be interviewed in executive session Monday, Mayor Nicola Smith said.
She expects to choose a fire chief by mid-July. The City Council then would confirm the choice in mid-August.
Lynnwood has been without a permanent fire chief since 2011. Since then, the assistant fire chiefs have taken turns as interim chief.
Lynnwood officials in 2012 estimated the fire chief's salary at $115,905 to $146,661, depending on experience and qualifications.

Past Projects
EU-Human Rights Project (2012-2014)
The two year project funded by the European Union, under the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights, ran from April 2012- March 2014. The project aimed at promoting and protecting the rights of Persons with Disabilities by the duty bearers through strengthening the capacity of Persons with Disabilities and creating awareness on disability.
Livelihoods (2011 -2014)
The 3 years Livelihoods project was a partnership between CSU and Leonard Cheshire Disability with a funding from the European Union. The project was implemented in Budaka and Buikwe districts of Eastern and Central Uganda respectively.
The overall objective of the project was to uplift Persons with Disabilities out of poverty through support for sustainable livelihoods.
Specific objectives of the project included;
- To equip PWDs with marketable vocational, technical and business skills
- To support access to micro credit by PWDs
- To create awareness on disability among duty bearers such as employers, government etc
- To strengthen community groups of PWDs and introduce livelihoods component and self regulated social protection schemes.
The project benefited over 700 Persons with Disabilities who were supported through skills development partnering with vocational institution and Artisans in the two districts. In addition, we organized Persons with Disabilities in community groups, trained them in business skills and provided a revolving fund to enable them start income generating activities. We also conducted capacity building trainings for PWD leaders, Community development Officers, General Councilors, training institutions, Supported rehabilitation for Persons with Disabilities by providing assistive/mobility devices, trained PWDs in life skills, Computer skills, provided counseling and career guidance in both communities and training institutions and established two One stop Livelihoods Resource Centers providing disability and livelihoods information to both Persons with Disabilities and the general public.
Young Voices Advocacy Project
The Young Voices project was a 3 year (2011-2013) global campaign network of Young People with Disabilities implemented in partnership with Leonard Cheshire Disability funded by the European Union. The project was implemented in the districts of Buikwe and Budaka and aimed at empowering Youths with Disabilities to be able to advocate and campaign for the rights of Persons with Disabilities both at local and National Level. The Youths with Disabilities were trained on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and other local legislation's to be able to lobby for implementation of the UNCRPD.
The achievements of the project include;
- PWDs in Buikwe and Budaka are increasingly participating in political and leadership spheres for example in Buikwe district, two Young Voice members were elected as town Council Speaker and Deputy Town Mayor.
- Young Voice members have campaigned for accessibility to public places for example Buikwe district administration block was adapted after the Young Voices lobbied the District Chairperson. The same was done by the Nkokonjeru Catholic Church after lobbying the Parish Priest.
- Young Voice project has contributed to increased awareness about disability in the community following open sensitization and radio talk shows
- Members' capacity to advocate has been greatly improved and they can confidently engage with duty bearers on disability rights
- The Young Voices project has been recognized in the districts as a change agent on issues of disability.
Kaliro Human Rights Projects (2011-2013)
In 2011 June, Cheshire Services Uganda (CSU) started implementing a 2 year (June 2011 to May 2013) human rights project (PWD rights campaign and advocacy project) funded by the Independent Development Fund (IDF) in Kaliro district in the sub-counties of Gadumire, Namwiwa, Namugongo, Nawaikoke, Bumanya and Kaliro Town Council).

There are no known leaks in the system. The 30 amp fuse got so hot it melted the terminal, so I modified this with an inline 30 amp fuse. Please if you have any suggestions please let me know thanks.

- Many highly regarded small-cap funds have put up "no vacancy" signs to new investors, writes Sarah Max in Barron's, their managers cautious among perky valuations or unwieldy AUM, or both. Notable closures include the $1.6B Artisan Small Cap Investor Fund, the $6.2B Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund, and the $993M Hotchkis & Wiley Small Cap Value Fund. T. Rowe Price has also closed two of its top performers, the $10.4B T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Fund and the $16B T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund.
- Caution may be in order given the big run for small-caps, but fund manager Bill Grierson says the current Russell 2000 (IWM +1.1%) P/E ratio is just slightly higher than its 10-year average of about 17x. Further, Q2 sales growth is at about 9% so far.
- Another manager allows it's not an easy time to find cheap stocks, but beyond the sexy segments there's a whole universe of small companies, and he's been picking up some names.

- Hammering away at the misconception that it pays to seek active managers in supposedly "less efficient" sectors like small caps, S&P Dow Jones' Philip Murphy finds - even choosing among the top mutual fund share classes - an alarmingly small number of managers failed to beat the benchmarks.
- Starting at the March 2009 bottom and going out five years, only 9 of 139 share classes beat the S&P SmallCap 600 benchmark (that's 5.9% of the starting set).
- Where alpha might be able to be delivered though, is in choosing which benchmark to track. A fund tracking the S&P SmallCap 600 (IJR, VIOO) would have outperformed one tracking the Russell 2000 (NYSEARCA:IWM) by 23% over the 5-year period.

- "Knowingly overpaying never has made sense to me, which I think people are doing," says small-cap fund manager Eric Cinnamond, notable for being up 14.5% at the midway point in 2009 vs. peers' average loss of 27%, but missing out on the bull market of the last three years thanks to his large cash holdings.
- The small cap stocks on his radar are as "expensive as I have ever seen them," he tells the WSJ. "We're just unwilling to overpay with other people's mooney in high-quality, small-cap stocks."

- Chicago-based Good Harbor Financial is among the largest ETF portfolio managers and the company in May began to rebalance its $11B U.S. Tactical Core Strategy twice a month instead of once - today marks the first mid-month trade for the portfolio, reports the WSJ.
- Good Harbor's main strategy today, says the Journal, looked to be selling small caps as well as two ETFs tied to the S&P 500 (SPY -0.7%), and volume spiked in the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM -1.6%), the ProShares Ultra Russell 2000 (UWM -3%), the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV -0.7%) and the ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (SSO -1.5%).
- Good Harbors was the largest single holder of three of those funds as of the end of March, and the 2nd largest holder of the fourth.
- As it sold the equity ETFs, Good Harbors appeared to be buying two mid-to-long-dated Treasury bond ETFs, the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Fund (IEF +0.3%) and the ProShares Ultra 7-10 Year Treasury ETF (UST +0.7%), with both having volumes many multiples higher than normal.
- Good Harbors was also a seller of small caps and a buyer of Treasurys in early May, says the Journal, which earlier this year reported traders growing accustomed to waiting for the firm's monthly rebalance.

- Making the rounds across trading desks is this chart showing the Russell 2000 (IWM -1%) this week closing below its 200-day moving average for the first time since November 2012.
- BAML's Macneil Curry adds a couple of additional technical ideas, noting Tuesdays this year have typically been positive, but not this week, and the Russell 2000 looks to be completing a 4-month head-and-shoulders top.
- The small cap index is now off 5.3% YTD vs. a 1.6% gain for the S&P 500. It's also now fallen below the S&P on a Y/Y basis, up 13.3% vs. the big cap's 14.9% gain.

- "It's hard to find a bargain out there," says Fidelity fund manager John Roth, as - even with two sharp small-cap selloffs this year - the Russell 2000 (IWM) is down only 3.5%, and still trades at a lofty 19.1x earnings. At the start of 2013, the index's P/E was 15.1, and the average since 1994 is 16.9. After trimming positions in Q1, Roth's New Millenium Fund holds just 12% of assets in small caps vs. an average of 19% from 2008-2013.
- Manager of the $240M Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund, Jim Larkings is keeping cash towards the higher end of his typical 2-8% of AUM. He's finding some value in those small caps reeling due to the broader selloff in high-growth tech, but "The real darlings aren't even close to value territory."
- Individual investors, however, continue to be believers, pouring $3.1B into small cap mutual funds to add to $16.4B in inflows last year.

- It may be too late to pick up the "free desert" of higher returns from small caps and value stocks, suggests Larry Swedroe, as their historical outperformance is now common knowledge. In the past few years, markets have quickly bid up the share prices of these names alongside numerous publications and studies proving their superiority as investments. "One of the characteristics of an efficient market is that once an anomaly is discovered, the very act of exploiting it will cause it to rapidly shrink and eventually disappear."

- There's little movement in the S&P 500 and Dow, but what the chart-watchers like to call a technical divergence is occurring in the Nasdaq (QQQ -1.4%) and Small Caps (IWM -0.8%) for the 2nd consecutive day.
- Leading the Nasdaq lower are roughly 2% declines in Google and Microsoft. The deflating Biotech sector (IBB -2%) is again the main culprit in small caps. Up 20% YTD in late February, the IBB is back to about flat for 2014.

- Schwab's fundamental index ETFs - Research Affiliates Fundamental Index (RAFI) - get a thumbs-up from Morningstar's Samuel Lee. They're cheap - 3-12 basis points less expensive than PowerShares' lineup of FTSE RAFI finds and lower than Schwab's earlier lineup of Russell Fundamental Index Funds - but they're not the cheapest (VLUE charges less, as does WisdomTree's offerings).
- Lee, however, likes the Schwab offerings because of their exposure to smaller cap stocks, which historically have generated most of the value alpha. He also prefers RAFI's use of multiple valuation metrics as opposed to WisdomTree's reliance on either dividends or earnings. "Multiple metrics can cancel out some of the idiosyncratic noise attributable to a single metric, thereby producing cleaner exposure to the value factor."
- The funds: FNDB, FNDX, FNDA, FNDF, FNDC, FNDE.
Mar. 24, 2014, 7:37 AM
- The Russell 2000 (IWM) is trading for 49x earnings compared with a multiple of 39x at the height of the Internet bubble. The S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.2x is within spitting distance of its 75-year average.
- The small cap gauge has returned an average of 30% per year since the March 2009 bottom vs. 25% for the S&P 500, but profits lately are not keeping up. In the last quarter, Russell 2000 profits climbed 6.8% vs. 8.6% for the S&P 500, and while S&P companies exceeded analyst estimates by 4.6%, Russell 2000 companies missed by 13%, according to Bloomberg.
- "Monetary policy action cannot be taken off the table as a response to the build-up of broad and sustained systemic risk," said Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo recently, sighting bubbly small caps as one thing being eyed at the central bank.

Mar. 10, 2014, 2:48 PM
- "We are getting increasingly concerned about the extended nature of small-caps," writes MKM's Jonathan Krinsky, noting the Russell 2000 as of last week closed 42% above its 200-day moving average, the most in four years. A check of the records over the last 30 years when the Russell's been more than 40% above its 200-day finds forward returns 90 days out to be negative 94% of the time, with an average decline of 7%.
- He notes biotech makes up about 5% of the Russell 2000 and that sector's rally seems particularly unsustainable.

Mar. 4, 2014, 11:54 AM
- The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are all ahead about 1.25%, but the small caps are really breaking out, with the Russell 2000 up 2.8%, at an all-time high, and now ahead 4% on the year vs. a 1.4% gain for the S&P 500.
- The index's gain over the last month sums to nearly 11%. Last week, Ryan Detrick noted the Russell was up 14 of the previous 15 sessions for the first time in its history.

Feb. 26, 2014, 12:42 PM
- The major averages are posting moderate gains thus far in the session, but it's another big day for the small caps, with the Russell 2000 ahead 1.3%. Off 6% for the year around the start of February and lagging the S&P 500, the small cap gauge is now up 2.3% YTD, at a new all-time high, and ahead of the S&P by 190 basis points thus far in 2014.

Feb. 3, 2014, 1:24 PM
- The Russell 2000's (IWM -3.3%) decline is nearly twice that of the S&P 500 and has the small-cap index now underperforming the big-cap gauge YTD (down 5.7% vs. 5.2%). It was little more than a week ago, the Russell 2000 was outperforming by about 300 basis points, and there have been numerous warnings (I, II) in recent weeks about an overvaluation in small-cap stocks that just couldn't last.

Jan. 27, 2014, 12:31 PM
- Once again, it's the Russell 2000 (IWM -1.9%) leading the way as the averages tumble. Green for the year just a few sessions ago, the small cap index is now off 3.6%, though it still hasn't caught up with the Dow's (DIA -0.5%) 4.7% YTD drop.
- Earlier: Small cap biotechs torched.

- Apple's higher ahead of earnings this evening, but the broader tech sector (QQQ -1.5%) is also taking a big hit. Excepting Apple, all of the top holdings of the Nasdaq 100 - Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Qualcomm, Gilead, Intel, Cisco, Comcast, and Facebook - are lower.

- "Investors should prepare for a bout of significant Russell 2000 underperformance," presciently wrote Michael O'Rourke of Jones Trading last night, noting how unusual it was to see the DJIA off 2.3% YTD, but the Russell up 1%. Look for that performance gap to close, he said.
- Closing it is today, with the small-cap index off 2.5%, about 1% worse than the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq. The iShares Russell 2000 Index ETF (IWM) -2.7%.

Arizona Rattlesnakes: Why the Cardinals Should Change Their Name
Get the craziest and best NFL stories, cutting edge Analysis, and Daily Fantasy Guidance hand picked by our expert team right into your inbox.
The Redskins have even gotten President Obama's attention when it comes to their name change.
Although most Redskins fans are against the name-change, here are some reasons why it might be a good thing:
1. Nothing to lose: This team has not been to a Super Bowl in over 20 years. Karma or just plain turning the page on futility might change their luck around.
What was once a good name is now a bad name in sports, quite frankly. Change the name and you have a clean slate in terms of NFL perception.
Don't change the name and you have two things stacked against you right off the bat - No. 1: Bad Reputation; No.2: Racially controversial team name.
If Roger Goodell can manipulate Super Bowls as Terrell Suggs states, then why on earth would he help a team with a racist name play in the Super Bowl? Answer: he won't and that should be the No.1 reason why they should change the name.
This is assuming the NFL is partially staged and certain teams are "helped" more than others.
2. Going with the Flow: Dan Snyder has done things his way since buying the team. He has also refused to go with the flow and he has failed. Case in point - the Salary Cap penalty hit. Had Snyder not tried to circumvent the NFL's policy on salary caps in 2009, he would not have been punished by the Commissioner.
Snyder's refusal to change the team name puts his team in a public relations nightmare that he has been accustomed to since 1999. From Haynesworth to RG3, this team is a PR Failure. Finally doing what the rest of the NFL wants might actually be a good thing for Snyder.
3. There is a group of Native Americans who actually feel strongly about this. Who really cares if the name changes? In Europe, soccer teams don't even have names, just brands. So why not make a small group of people happy for the sake of doing the right thing?
Does Washington DC really have a strong connection with their Native American past? They should but the whole argument is not changing for the sake of not changing. How about picking a mascot that is tied to your city? There's a concept.

Q.C. Miles of Watertown stands next to the propeller of the L-5 plane he flew in 1945 — and again in 2013.
This view of the L-5 shows the many windows which allowed a pilot to see other planes during combat flights.
Pilot Bryan Brost of Canistota and Q.C. Miles of Watertown took the L-5 up together during a recent air show in Sioux Falls.
Q.C. Miles flew 173 combat missions during World War II in a Stinson L-5.

Bryan Brost was quoted as saying "It appeared he knew a lot about the plane"..... I suspect that after 173 combat sorties, that would probably be accurate. Thanks for this great story.
A wonderful article about a wonderful man. My dad has always been and will always be my hero!

text: 8x8 Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Another earnings short-squeeze prospect is voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) technology and services provider 8x8 ( EGHT), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect 8x8 to report revenue of $28.28 million on earnings of 6 cents per share. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for 8x8 is notable at 7.6%. That means that out of the 62.14 million shares in the tradable float, 5.22 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 8.1%, or by about 390,000 shares. If the bears are caught leaning too strong into a bullish quarter, then shares of EGHT could easily jump significantly higher post-earnings. >>5 Stock Trades for S&P 1,700 From a technical perspective, EGHT is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last two months and change, with shares pushing higher from its low of $6 to its intraday high of $7.70 a share. During that uptrend, shares of EGHT have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of EGHT within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on EGHT, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above its 52-week high at $7.95 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 606,318 shares. If that breakout triggers, then EGHT will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $9 to $10 a share, or even $11 a share. I would avoid EGHT or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout and then drops back below some key near-term support levels at $7.40 to its 50-day at $7.10 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then EGHT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at its 200-day of $6.71 a share. Prev 4 of 6 Next

Dad At Large
The sans of time
10:22am Thursday 14th July 2016
THE clock is ticking relentlessly towards the arrival of our first grandchild and, naturally, urgent changes are having to be made.
Letting the bat out of the bag
8:14am Monday 4th July 2016
Boys will be boys… THE clock is ticking relentlessly towards grandfatherhood and I have to admit that I'm warming to the idea, despite receiving a Father's Day card addressed to "Gramps".
7:51am Thursday 16th June 2016
AS much as I love the opposite sex, I think it's important for dads – and mums, for that matter – to have time for themselves. There's surely nothing wrong with "men's nights" or "girls' weekends" every now and again. It means we appreciate each other more when we get back together.
It's a nightmare being in the doghouse
11:32am Thursday 2nd June 2016
OVER the years, I've come to terms with the fact that us men get the blame for everything. It's one of those inevitabilities of life, like night following day, toast falling butter-side down, and Donald Trump being offensive.
The BFG (Big Friendly Grandad)
8:35am Thursday 19th May 2016
WITH four children advancing into adulthood, it was bound to happen sooner or later, and the time has come to break the news. After 25 years, the name of this column is going to have to change from Dad At Large to Grandad At Large.
Life in the slow lane
9:57am Thursday 5th May 2016
URGENCY is an alien concept to young men. Getting them out of bed before midday is hard enough, but, even when they're up, they have two speeds – slow and stop.
Shame, set and match
9:10am Friday 22nd April 2016
FOR one reason or another, us poor dads always seem to have a lot of explaining to do. We're forever finding ourselves in trouble, digging holes for ourselves, saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, plunging ourselves into embarrassing situations, and inevitably ending up in the dreaded doghouse. It just comes with the territory.
The blame game
8:39am Thursday 7th April 2016
IT has been a recurring theme of this column over the past 25 years that us dads – well men in general come to think of it – get the blame for everything.
Lost for words
7:09pm Saturday 26th March 2016
WHEN you get to my age – 54 next week – and having endured the intense stress and high blood-pressure of bringing up four children, keeping fit becomes a higher priority.
Thirst impressions
11:16am Friday 4th March 2016
CLEARLY, it's important to try to make a good impression in front of your children's friends. And, yes, it's true that I haven't always managed it.
Sofa, so bad
3:19pm Thursday 18th February 2016
MY daughter has moved into a new flat in London. You know the kind of thing – smaller than a broom cupboard, but the rent's higher than the cost of living in a mansion up north.
10:06am Thursday 21st January 2016
IT was just like the old days - me and my boys going off to see a Star Wars film.
Turtley magical
3:31pm Thursday 7th January 2016
SINCE I no longer have any small children of my own, and there's so far no sign of grandchildren, I need to rely on other people's offspring to keep the magic of Christmas alive.
You're never too old for Christmas magic
12:00pm Thursday 24th December 2015
TONIGHT, just like I have for the past 20 years or so, I'll don my red suit, black wellies and white beard, throw my sack over my shoulder, and go on a Christmas Eve tour of friends' houses, playing Santa Claus for their children.
Enjoy the magic
9:15am Thursday 24th December 2015
TONIGHT, just like I have for the past 20 years or so, I'll don my red suit, black wellies and white beard, throw my sack over my shoulder, and go on a Christmas Eve tour of friends' houses, playing Santa Claus for their children.
Hot stuff
3:48pm Thursday 26th November 2015
WE'RE only in our early fifties and generally in robust health, but ageing is already proving to be a challenging process.
Bjorn free

MY wife likes to know who's calling her before she answers her phone so she's got individual ring-tones for me and our four children. For me, it's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," by Andy Williams. The next line, rather appropriately, is "You're just too good to be true". Before you ask, yes, she chose it all by herself and, no, she's never considered "Things Can Only Get Better" by D-ream."
Crazy little thing called love

AFTER 25 years of bringing up children, it is time for my wife and I to spend more quality time together – so I took her for a romantic break to the Northumberland coast.

A DAD'S got to do what a dad's got to do – no matter what it takes. When his kids say they need him, he has to spring into action, which is why I spent last Sunday driving to London and back in the same day.

IT has been an extremely long haul but our fourth has flown the nest. Max has left for Manchester to study for a performing arts degree – and the very good news is that he has taken his drum kit with him.

The staff and location of this hotel are top notch for this price range! Once you get the hang of accessing the hotel via the Lockwood Drive turnarounds, it is easy to get downtown to the historic district or over to Folly Beach or Mt. Pleasant. The staff was great at check-in and was helpful in finding a good pizza delivery for a late night snack. The deck off the lobby is wonderful: lots of rockers and lounge furniture to sit and enjoy the view of the marina and the Ashley river. We had a nice porch with rockers off our room as well. The view wasn't as nice, but it was still comfortable for a private drink before going out. Parking under the hotel was convenient and complementary which is a big difference from hotels in the historic district. Wireless access was good and the room was spacious with a refrigerator and microwave. There was plenty of kitchen space for people staying longer than a weekend.
