noise in n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors under different hot-carrier stresses86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.371501View Description Hide Description
Degradation mechanisms contributing to increased noise of n-channel metaloxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (n-MOSFETs) after different hot-carrier stresses are investigated. It is demonstrated that for any hot-carrier stress, the stress-induced enhancement of noise is mainly attributed to increased carrier-number fluctuation arising from created oxide traps, while enhanced surface-mobility fluctuation associated with electron trapping at preexisting and generated fast interface states and near-interface oxide traps is also responsible under maximum substrate- and gate-current stresses. Besides thermal-oxide n-MOSFETs, nitrided-oxide devices are also used to further support the above analysis.
InGaAs quantum wires and wells on V-grooved InP substrates86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.371502View Description Hide Description
We report on the fabrication and characterization of quantum structures on V-grooved InP substrates grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The geometry of the quantum wells and wires was determined by scanning-electron microscopy and atomic-force microscopy. We optimized the InP buffer-layer thickness in order to obtain narrow quantum wires. The optical properties were studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL peaks of the different quantum structures can be identified by a self-aligned masking process. The interpretation of the PL measurements was verified by means of cathodoluminescence measurements with high spatial resolution. Transition energies were evaluated from the geometry of the quantum wells and quantum wires. The composition of the InGaAs was used as a parameter for the calculations. By comparison of the measured transition energies with the evaluated ones we determined the Ga content of the quantum structures. We found the quantum wires nearly lattice matched to the InP substrate and the quantum wells on {111} planes rich in In
Double-barrier THz source based on electrical excitation of electrons and holes86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.371503View Description Hide Description
A detailed dynamical analysis of an all solid-state THz source is given. This is based on the polarization-induced autonomous oscillation in resonant tunnelingheterostructure with staggered band-gap alignment. The physical model consists of the following processes: (a) Generation by Zener tunneling of holes trapped in the barrier and electrons drifting in the depletion layer of the drain, whose rate decreases with the polarization between the barrier and quantum well. (b) Stimulated generation of barrier-well polarization. (c) Nonradiative decay of barrier-well polarization through barrier-hole recombination and quantum-well electron discharge. It is shown that a limit cycle oscillation of the barrier-well polarization and trapped-hole charge in the barrier can occur which induce THz oscillations in the resonant tunneling current across the device. The time-averaged results agree with the measured current–voltage characteristic of AlGaSb/InAs/AlGaSb staggered band-gap double-barrier structure. In particular, the measured smaller current offset at forward bias compared to that of reverse bias in the current–voltage hysteresis loop is predicted by our physical model and limit cycle analysis. Thus, we have experimental evidence indicating the correctness of our approach and the promising potential of this device as a novel all solid-state THz source.
Optimizing well doping density for GaAs/AlGaAs p-type quantum well infrared photodetectors86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.371504View Description Hide Description
Effects of well doping density on the performance of GaAs/AlGaAs p-type quantum well infrared photodetectors are systematically studied. We find that for devices covering the 3–5 μm wavelength region and operating at about 100 K, the optimum two-dimensional doping density is in the range which maximizes the background limited infrared performance temperature and dark current limited detectivity. Increasing the doping density not only enhances the peak absorption but also broadens the linewidth pronouncedly.

Mark Hamilton, president of the Kenai River Sportfishing Association (KRSA) recently opined that the Board of Fish (BOF) meetings had produced a "clear victory for Kenai kings." I disagree, and believe that any objective person would disagree as well.
I love Deep Creek Recreation Area. It is located in the town of Ninilchik. I have been drawn back to the park since my first visit in 1992. I have camped beachside, dug for clams, used the boat launch and fished for salmon and Dolly Varden in the nearby anadromous river. I have watched the breathtaking sunsets on Mt. Iliamna and Mt. Redoubt across the inlet, seen the eagles soaring high above the cliffs and photographed the many shorebirds that inhabit the saltwater marsh. And, once, I even watched two young moose make their way through the busy campground.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Alaska Board of Fisheries (BOF) for its dedication during the recent two-week Upper Cook Inlet management hearings. Nowhere else are fisheries managed through a more open public process than the one used here in Alaska.
"The Bears' Den" is a name to be linked with the Kenai River Brown Bears Hockey team. This new facility, with pull tabs, Kenai River Brown Bears sports memorabilia and hockey tickets, is located in Big John's Short Stop on the corner of K-Beach Road and Poppy Lane, in Soldotna. Hockey fans are important to our team. But with the support of Kenai, and the entire Kenai Peninsula we can and will be a successful fund raising project for this noteworthy hockey team.
The record is clear, Alaska's Moose population as well as other game continue to dissipate while, once again, approximately seven hundred Alaskans have lost their constitutional right of access to subsistence meat along with their right to sport hunt due to "the luck of the draw." As such the State of Alaska has allowed seven hundred permits to be issued to foreign nationals and non-resident hunters thereby giving them precedence over Alaskans' subsistence and sport food gathering rights, provided for and guaranteed under the eighth amendment to the Alaska constitution.
I have watched the smoke-free campaign make significant ground over the last several years. As a healthcare professional, I would be remiss if I didn't support a proposed law that would prohibit smoking in all indoor workplaces, businesses and public places. Of course the reason this legislation is being proposed is to prevent non-smokers from being exposed to second hand smoke. We now have plenty of science to support the fact that second hand smoke is dangerous. Just look up The Health Consequences of Smoking report.
In Mayor Navarre's announcement to run for re-election he made several statements that are audacious at best and surely deflecting poor management by the borough, under the guise of "it's the seniors' fault" that Kenai Peninsula Borough service areas are in need of additional funding.
From the mayor, Feb. 25: Seniors use emergency services more than any other group, but they're exempt from paying for them. He said if he doesn't evaluate that area of the budget, the burden is going to shift to other demographics. In other words: It's the seniors' fault!
The Constitutional amendment to use state funds for private schools has lots more work by the current legislature before it is sent to the people. This major change to Alaska's Constitution should be fully vetted and passed by the current legislature before something so important is sent to the people for a vote. The accountability issues have not been widely understood nor have the long term ramifications for public education been carefully and thoroughly studied. These are major legislative issues that should be fully clarified.
You are about 5 or 6 years old, enthusiastic, inquisitive, and high-powered. You love Dr. Seuss books, making spinouts on your bike, peanut-butter sandwiches, Wild Kratts, and the word "awesome." You especially love to roughhouse with Dad and exercise with Mom. Let's see … you happily hop off to school every day and are not embarrassed to be seen with Mom or Dad.
The state legislature has broken the law and failed to hold hearings on the upcoming Oil Giveaway repeal initiative. Last year, the state legislature held many hearings on declining oil production and S.B. 21, more commonly known as the "Oil Giveaway." So why wouldn't state legislators want to hold a hearing on oil production now?

Thanks all!
I'm not new to shooting, just new to owning! I have shot a lot of different calibers, and the .40 has become my favorite. It's powerful, I'm accurate with it, I'm comfortable with it, and the recoil isn't too bad. Anything smaller like a 9mm seemed under powered to me, especially for defense against animals (I backpack, camp a lot in bear areas) And rounds like the .45 or the 357 felt uncomfortable to shoot. Maybe it was the gun? However, great advice on the .22 to get in cheap practice!

Excellent hotel - great location
Fantastic hotel. The hotel was very clean and our room was large and comfortable. Large green space for walking our dog. Located close to shopping and restaurants. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.
La Quinta Inn & Suites Tupelo, Tupelo
We spent one night traveling from Florida to Missouri. Great room and service, we travel with a small dog and there is a large grassy area towards the back to walk the dog away from the other guests. Very close to Elvis Presley home, and a good restaurant named Harveys down the street. We will stay there again.

I stayed here to work at the local hospital during Memorial Day weekend. The hotel was very convenient to the hospital. I got a suite which was quite spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was simply passable with prefab omelets. There were no snack machines in the hotel. The pool was closed which was very disappointing. The TV in the workout room was not hooked up to the satellite.

PROS / Citibank does not charge an application fee.
CONS / This lender has a stricter loan-to-value ratio than most banks.
VERDICT / Citibank offers both home equity loans and HELOCs at competitive interest rates, with no application fees. We found the online application process straightforward and the customer service very good, making this a strong choice for home equity financing.
Citibank offers both home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOC). The amount it can loan is less than most banks, and the loan-to-value ratio it requires is tighter, but it has excellent customer service, a smooth loan process in most cases, and competitive interest rates. It also pays closing costs, has no application fee and a low maintenance fee for HELOCs. Citibank therefore earns our Top Ten Reviews Silver Award.
Rates & Fees
The variable annual percentage rate (APR) can be as low as the prime rate plus 0.49 percent (3.74 percent at the time of our evaluation) and as high as the prime rate plus 3.74 percent (6.99 percent). The fixed annual percentage rate can be as low as 5.99 percent APR (or 6.24 percent for NY properties) or as high as 7.74 percent (7.99 percent for NY properties). There are discounts for Citibank members that apply to these rates as well.
All banks have a rate cap on variable interest rates. Citibank's is 18 percent, which is the standard. However, interest rates follow the prime rate, which has been steady for decades. It's unlikely you'll see your interest rate get this high.
Citibank will pay the closing fees on your home equity loan or HELOC. If you pay off the account within three years and close the account in the case of a HELOC, then you may have to pay back some or all of those fees. There are no application fees, but you pay a maintenance fee of $50/year after the first year. This is on the low end of maintenance fees charged by the home equity lenders we reviewed.
Citibank does not allow a second home as collateral and only lets you collateralize a one- or two-family residence if you live in New York, Illinois, the District of Columbia, New Jersey and Maryland. HELOCs and loans are not offered for collateral properties in Alaska.
To qualify, your residence needs an LTV of 75 percent or less. The LTV, or loan-to-value ratio, is the amount you owe on your home divided by its value. Most home equity lenders allow an LTV of 80 percent or more. However, its debt-to-income ratio (DTI) is higher than most, meaning it will allow you to incur more debt. Citibanks' maximum DTI is 50 percent, while the average allowed by the banks we evaluated falls closer to 40 percent.
Loan Requirements
Unlike most lenders, Citibank has different limits on home equity loans and HELOCs. For a home equity loan, you can borrow $10,000 to $100,000, while with HELOCs, the amount ranges from $25,000 to $200,000. Either way, these numbers are on the lower end of what you can borrow from other institutions.
There's no minimum draw requirement for the HELOC, even at closing, so you are free to borrow only as much as you need at a time. Funds are usually available one or two business days after the loan closes and the three-day right of rescission period passes. You have five years to draw from your loan, and can access the money via checks, ATM or transferring the funds to a linked account.
Customer Experience
Citibank earns top marks for customer service. Calling a large bank can be a frustrating experience, but Citibank's system was one of the best we experienced. When the department isn't too busy, you can reach a loan officer immediately by calling the number on the website – no automated menus. During busier times, we were greeted immediately by a live operator who connected us with the next available agent. The loan officers were some of the most knowledgeable we spoke to and quickly answered all our questions fully. One took time to fully explain how LTV worked.
Citibank lacks live chat and email, but we found in our testing that phone conversations were the most effective way to get information. If you are looking for some general information on home equity, the Citibank website offers articles and calculators.
The online application process was straightforward and complete. You can find a checklist online detailing the documents and information you need for the application.
Citibank has excellent customer service and a smooth online application process. The home equity loans and lines of credit are overall on par with those of other lenders, although the maximum you can borrow is less than most other lenders allow. Nonetheless, the fact that it has fewer fees than most of the home equity lenders we reviewed combined with excellent service make this a top choice of banks worth pricing for your home equity financing.

Am I the only person who doesn't like when people say "the gays"?
He's right. That's what 2004 was all about.
and that's why i'm voting for hillary. it's just another type of racism that i don't like to hear coming from him.
Yes, climate change and endless war are arguably more important policy issues than gay marriage is.
Once again, ECB ignores that the Clintons are why we have the DOMA and why gays can't openly serve in the US military.
It's all about Triangulation with them, and I don't mean the good kind.
A real President would just order the military to implement a policy and that would be that. But they'll sell you down the river whenever it gets hot - and you know it will - just to stay in power.
Nuff said.
Meanwhile about 100 people just died from salmonella and the country of Canada doesn't seem to be having any problem having gays be married ...
So, if you're not arguing that the Clintons would be better for the gays, what IS your point, Erica? Do you disagree with the (utterly sensible) statement you highlighted in bold? I'm a gay man, I'd love to get married to my partner, but I'm rational enough to realize that, say, the Iraq war or global warming are much higher priorities for society to resolve in the grand scheme of things than my civil rights issue.
I am a full supporter of gay marriage but I agree, conservatives use this as a wedge issue as a distraction to the damage they are doing. Like RJ said it helped them in 2004.
This isn't anything. Tell us when you've got something.
another type of racism emily? racism?
I don't see how this reflects poorly on Obama. I'd say that climate change and our ongoing War of Terror are clearly more important than the gay marriage issue.
And I really want to get Gay Married.
Gay-married. Gaymarried?
Isn't this the guy who just gave a 40 minute speech on race? Race issues are important enough to talk about but women's and gay issues aren't?
Sorry women and gays -- maybe someone will pay attention to you in 8 years.
So he is against people exploiting fear of teh gays for political expediency.
This is a bad thing, how?
Okay ... so, he's effectively arguing that failing to address, say, global warming will ultimately have more of an impact on society than gay marriage, and thus we should spend more time talking about the former than the latter.
Is he wrong? I support gay marriage. I know it's deeply personal for a lot of gay people. But, well, I also like to breathe. I think a lot of gay people do, too.
I don't see this as divisive at all. This is the same sentiment that I've always felt with respect to bicycle activism. Yes, bike lanes are good and our car-centric culture is absurd and dangerous, but if you are going to spend your time working for change areound a cause, there are about a bazillion more crucial issues than whether ten blocks of Stone Way is put on a diet.
can't we all just get along?
I don't really see this quote as anti- gay marriage. I took it as the following: just let two people who love each other get married, and lets move on to the other issues. This is what gay rights advocates have been arguing for years--that letting two people get married is really no big deal in the grand scheme of things. In the meantime, things that ARE a big deal for the planet--hello, global warming and Iraq war--are being ignored.
I saw that as meaning "Can we just let gays marry because we've got bigger things to worry about?" Is that right? Wrong? I'm confused.
Come on--he's lecturing against people who put gay marriage bans on the ballot during election years in order to bring out the fundie vote.
As if gay marriage is a threat that trumps global warming.
He may be a little obtuse in the delivery, but that's the message.
Yes, and the Clinton legacy continues...
ECB: Hillary is praying for you!
He's not saying let's not deal with gay issues, he's saying let's deal with them and stop wasting time arguing about them. The environment and the war are both issues that require a lot of thought, research, and action. Gay rights is a no-brainer, at least for progressives, and arguing with conservatives about it isn't going to change their mind.
And yeah, Emily, since when is gay a race? What are the other types of racism you hear?
When Clinton gives a NATIONAL speech on her plan to provide marriage equality to gay citizens, you let me know... I won't hold my breath.
Triangulation in action.
this seems less like he's saying "who cares about gay marriage?" and more like "why do we bicker about wedge issues when there's some seriously heavy shit going down?" no one is dying right now because they can't get gay married.
i'm a big fag and i agree with this 100%. i'd rather see the war ended and something done to slow the destruction of the environment rather than be able to get married.
I read it that way as well. He's telling the people who are freaked out about gay marriage to shut the fuck up already.
As a political analysis, this seems pretty uncontroversial to me. Gay marriage will be won or lost at the state level, so arguing about it during a presidential race really doesn't make any sense - unless you're trying to use it as a wedge issue.
I love it.
ECB, by posting something Obama said which is not even remotely divisive or controversial, makes a side comment about Hillary not being "better" and therefore succeeds in implying that Obama said something bad in the first place, when, in fact, he didn't.
So ECB is so desperate to help out the "I was under sniper fire" candidate that she's trying to trick people into thinking Obama made an anti-gay remark? Is this what it's come to?
It sure would have been nice to hear him speak of my citizenship as part of the lovely speech he gave last week.
I do not interpret this remark as support for same sex families. If anything it sounds like a dismissal to me.
Why didn't he say "all we do is argue about civil rights and white resentment" last week?
He also seems to forget that it was his party that blamed their loss in 2004 on marriage. He and his party have done nothing in terms of arguing about marriage. They are the first to point the finger and accept no responsibility for their own failures and shortcomings.
Hillary sucks. Obama sucks.
Rev Wright is right. God damn America.
Shove it.
@11 - did you miss the fundamental point of last week's speech on race?
His point (in all of this) is that politicians use these divisive issues (such as race, gender, sexuality) as a wedge to drive us apart and force us to vote to our fears. What Obama is trying to do is focus on the important (read: critical) issues of the day, while not overlooking other issues. When other issues come up that wont lead to - say - 100 years of war or the collapse of global ecosystems, we should have rational, real discussions about how to solve them, rather than using them as wedges to drive people toward voting their irrational and unfounded fear.
This is refreshing. Kind of sad that so many people have the blinders of the politics of fear so firmly attached to their heads that they miss these broader messages.
What 16-18, 20, and 25 said.
This statement not a dig against gay people, Erica, it's a dig against the GOP, who made the entire 2004 presidential election about abortion and gay marriage, while simultaneously denying climate change and escalating the Iraq war.
I notice that many other commenters have the same impression...perhaps because they're looking at this statement objectively?
@ 10 and 15 specifically, thank you for the laughs. we need to do more of that. and to the rest of you too who injected humor.
i agree, this is a non-story. and right on, obama. i'm so sick of the republicans parading us out as the last-ditch scare effort to get votes (hmmm, scare tatics, who does that sound like?)
to those of you who fret, i wouldn't waste my time getting too upset over the clintonistas. these are the same people who believe it's clinton's "birthright" to be president.
go ahead and slam me for being a mindless obama fan if you wish guys, but the bottom line is, the only way your candidate can win is to go against the will of the people:
Global warming is a more important issue than Gay Marriage. It's a more important issue in the long term than any of those "values" issues. I agree with him wholeheartedly. The continued survival of the species trumps all other concerns.
I think he's got his priorities straight here, and I don't think he's saying equal rights aren't important, just that elevating them to the #1 issue a presidential candidate must address is a distraction to move the debate away from issues that the GOP would rather not talk about. Like how their do-nothing approach to global warming is threatening the long-term viability of human civilization.
Ah, my senator. So, when are you going to get a divorce, Obama? After all, according to you, marriage isn't important.
Straight America says to gay people: Fuck You.
The cost to straight people for treating gay people as human, by ending marriage discrimination, is zero. To compare that to the cost in lives lost in Iraq and the cost people will pay to reduce carbon emissions is outrageous, callous, and infuriating.
Excuse bigotry all you want but this argument is terrible for gay rights, because when will there not be other problems?
What a jerk.
And the verdict is in: ECB is, again, grabbing at straws.
Gee, gay marriage or global warming.... You know what, being a happy gay guy myself I think it is really fucked up how people are one issue voters. Sorry, but if it is a choice of ending the war, dealing with global warming or getting married, sorry the war and global warming win out. What is the point of getting married if we destroy the planet?
This is a really interesting comment. The way it's interpreted is based entirely on the reader's predisposition to Obama.
If you're an Obama fan, it reads as #17 interpreted it ("stop hating on homos getting married and focus on this war"). If you're a Clinton fan, it reads as Erica seems to have interpreted it ("homos aren't as worth my time as this war is").
Im not saying Clinton would be any better for the gays.
Considering she gained all her "experience" as the wife of the president who literally invented "don't ask, don't tell", I don't see how you could, anyway.
#27: That would make sense if Obama supported federal recognition of gay marriage, but he's on the record saying he doesn't.
Obama: "I do believe that marriage is between a man and a woman."
I guess this means we have to wait until global warming is resovled before getting to the marriage issue?
Is that what he meant last week?
For being such a brilliant orator whose words move people to tears he sure didn't utter the letters L G B or T during his lecture on American history or contemporary scapegoats.
Not one letter. And he didn't say anything about Fat Ass Feinstein on her million dollar front lawn the day after the election.
She said: "It's too much too fast and too soon for gay marriage"
Democrats know all about scapegoating...it's preceisely how they explain losing the last two presidential elections.
Lawrence King...Sally Kern...the UAFA...do you have anything specific to say about marriage or is too divisive for you to explain or defend?
He doesn't get a pass for being an AFrican American man that advocates for states' rights.
I don't expect him to utter LGBT during a speech about race.
That said, back to Erica's comment--Hillary probably wouldn't do better.
The fact remains, the candidate who runs on a pro-gay "marriage" plank isn't gonna last too long. It's not pretty, but it's true.
We're still headed on the right path, and with the increased bundle of rights being attached to civil unions, the semantic tissue between those and marriage will grow less and less substantive, until we're there, and no one else notices enough to be offended anymore.
Sure Democrats, lets make this campaign about domestic social issues, which Democrats are on the losing side of in regards to popularity. Self righteous losing is a great Democratic trait I suppose.
As a homo, I would rather Obama focused on other things first, like the economy or the war. I think this comment can be read many ways, but, of course, a negative view is helpfully suggested for us by ECB.
I know the Stranger wants dissenting voices, but couldn't we at least have honest ones?
deep down, i think everyone knows obama is the nominee. beating him badly in PA ( which HRC is going to ) will only make matters worse.
ecb is just having fun with obama zombies. i think she enjoys seeing you guys foam. no biggie. relax. she knows hrc is done.
All Obama is saying here is that the gay marriage controversy is a red herring. Which it is.
You democrats have to start pulling together down there. This is getting ridiculous.
Yet somehow America's Favorite managed to talk about immigration..illegal and otherwise...and he managed to throw in something about a glass ceiling for women...
Hey - I don't expect him to say or do anything to help me. He is a politician..not the second coming...he is just as capable (and prone) to continuing America's hegemonic push into the middle east...let the bodies pile up...
but oh, we will have clean air and can get around to not talking out of both sides of our mouth at the same time sometime after 2016.
No matter how good he sounds or how presumptive she thinks she looks, both of them are flawed and worthy of criticism and I'm never going to stop.
Well, knock yourself out.
the only ones arguing about "gay marriage" are those that want to deny civil marriage equality to all Americans. Obama is one of those arguing about "gay marriage".
I think it's being taken the wrong way. I think he's saying to those opposed, "why are you worrying about THIS when there are so many more important things to worry about."
Not, "why are you silly gays wasting our time."
Given everything he's said so far on the subject do you really, REALLY, think he'd say something that offensive? No. Thank you.
This is what happens when I comment without reading first.
What everyone else who said what I just said, said.
@29 wins, and patrick continues to be lame, but is aced out at the last moment of the lamest post spot by @46.
Please ECB don't even consider the possibility that you are taking his statement out of context. Please don't point out that what he might mean is that in a time like this, with all the horrible things going on in the world, that it is plain evil that the REPUBLICANS are the ones focusing on things like opposing gay marriage. Perish the thought of considering that he isn't saying gay marriage shouldn't be an issue that Dems support, but how pathetic it is that it is an issue at all and not a given that should be accepted. That the Republicans use it as an issue to divert attention away from really important things.
I beg you, don't make rational, non polarizing, and even headed statements like that because that wouldn't make your preferred candidate, who is losing badly, look shiny and nice by comparison despite her horrible track record with gay people. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!
Also please don't say things like that because then I would have to like the things you write, which is currently prevented by your political posts.
I'm gay and I wasn't upset or offended by what he said. It kind of hurt my feelings a little but whatever. I would love for Obama to fight for gay rights on the stump but I'm a realist and I know that he knows that if he goes to far to the left on social policy he will lose. It's about choosing your battles and while I would like him to fight for my civil rights, I know that his winning the election is far more important. Is that a cop out? Absolutely. But what is the alternative? If I want to get married, I can (and just might) move to Vancouver- it's a nicer city than Seattle anyways.
I think he means that *banning* gay marriage was used as a wedge issue. I agree that when I read that statement it gave me pause, but I think in that context he was arguing more for gays right.
I.e., we're arguing about stopping gays from marrying while our planet is being destroyed, we're in the middle of a war, etc.
Its funny how ambiguous the language gets when discussing a divise topic other than race.
His speech was crystal clear last week.
Maybe he will get around to delivering a speech that advocates for states' rights as an interim solution while the world cools off and the poles re-freeze.
That sounds fair.
The cost to straight people for treating gay people as human, by ending marriage discrimination, is zero.
No, the cost is huge, because most of the country still opposes it, and those bastards will vote for never ending war before they vote for marriage equality.
I'm gay, and I wasn't offended at all by Obama's comment.
Obama is just speaking plainly. We all know that our political process has been derailed by wedge issues, like immigration and gay rights, that pit one group against another for political advantage.
Obama once again shows that he's the most sensible and straightforward candidate in the pack. We should be working on our big issues and spending the lion's share of our policy discussion on them: campaign finance reform, health care, the deficit, infrastructure, education, the environment, the restoration of civil liberties. It's not that we can never debate the issue of marriage equality, and he's certainly not saying that. Rather, he's arguing that the age of wedge issue politics has to end if we are to unblock the gridlock that has taken over our political process.
As a citizen of this country, I support this goal 100%.
Jesus...C'mon, ECB. Your powers of comprehension can't be that dull. He's obviously saying that the gay marriage issue has been used as a wedge to keep us from talking about more important issues, like the fucking war, and the environment. Are you saying we should vote Clinton because she'll put gay marriage above those things (which she wouldn't, thank God)?
Stupid. Try again.
I don't see how you could take this as anti-gay (is that even your point Erica?)... I've had arguments with several friends on the gay marriage. Our debates are always heated but only last until one person mutters "but there's bigger things to worry about."
It's an easy way to divide people. Worse it gets replayed over and over in the media because men getting married fits more easily into a 30 second sound byte than the science of global warming or the complicated social divides of Iraqi culture.
ECB: Barack didn't pander to the OR gays - next.....
full disclosure - happily gay here and not scared away by the truth that there are issues that are more important than me, me, me.
I'm not expecting the Democratic nominee to support allowing gays to marry in 2008, but I wish Obama didn't feel the need to drive his campaign bus over gay people to prove how he's going to move beyond unimportant divisive issues. He's the one who brought it up. Why not pick an issue that really is silly?
Watch the video if you haven't. His tone is totally: gay marriage, WTF?
Is this the argument he's going to use for the next several months, possibly several years, when it comes up, say, if the California Supreme Court rules for letting gays marry?
It would be better if he said he's just not for it, rather than it's not important enough.
I think Obama was aiming that comment at people riled up by the false specter of "OMG the gays are gettin' married!" It doesn't take much of a stretch to read the comment as dismissive, though.
As soon as he's got the nomination in hand, though, I'd like to see him stop talking about "gay marriage" and attempt to reframe the discourse so that it is based on the universal right of individuals to make important private family decisions without being overruled by the government. Point out that everyone would be better off if they stopped worrying about the messy details of other families and focused instead on the hard work of managing their own. Equality is a relatively good frame but respecting family values is an even better one.
So, preemptively: Calm down.
that is so patronizing.
(perfectly calmly)
"Im not saying Clinton would be any better for the gays."
No, Dan, she wouldn't:
For the umpteenth time:
Obama is for FULL REPEAL of the DEFENSE OF MARRAGE ACT.
Hillary is only for PARTIAL repeal.
But I'll keep repeating it until one of the Hillarians explains to me how that's being "better" on LGBT Rights.
ECB, care to give it a try? I'm all eyes...
Is this supposed to be an anti-Obama post? Because he points out that perhaps straight people should worry less about what gay people are doing and more about, I don't know, the Iraq War? Obviously he's making an appeal for the end of wedge-issue politics. I don't get it, you're taking this as a comment that reflects badly on Obama? You'd rather have republican scare tactics or Clintonian double-speak hedging? I just don't get your point. Or is this your first pro-Obama post? Huh?
It's perfectly clear based on a number of speeches that Obama has no plans to extend any rights to the glbt community, at least past where they stood in the 90's. If we're lucky we MIGHT get the repeal of DADT. The other candidates are no better.
At this point it's best to vote against people, rather than for them. Democracy works better that way anyhow...
Wow, fluteprof, that's idiotic. You and your kind should not be involved in politics. Do us a favor & move to Canada or France!
I'm fine with gay marriage but I agree with the prioritization. Sorry, it's just not as urgent as the segregation issue was in the 50's and 60's.
There are plenty of places in the US where every institution - across government, business, community - are gay-friendly, where benefits and rights are pretty much equal, and people are genuinely open-minded, or don't care, or both. Given that, there are far more urgent social and international problems to confront.
ECB is really saying, with all of these anti-obama vomit posts, is the following:
Yes, that is right.
Your Obama hatred is based on such stupid and inane bullshit that I am completely surprised that the chumps at the stranger still pay your stupid ass.
I'm ok with keeping things orderly too.
First, let's fix the environment. Nothing else can happen until that is fixed.
Second, we'll fix Iraq. Pull out troops. Clean up our mess. I'm sure that will go smoothly and quickly.
Third, health care for nearly everyone in a way that won't offend the corporations in charge of electing our leaders and running the healthcare/pharmaceutical industry. That's liable to be a fully satisfying exercise in justice and sanity.
Eventually we will get around to tackling the foolish issue of defending the constitutional rights of gays. They can wait.
Oh wait...I should say something about ginning up votes to make this sound speechy.
Hey, I know lots of gay people and they don't care about anything so it's ok to wait.
@66 Still putting our queer shoulders to the wheel:
Go ahead my gay friends, vote for Hillary (or McCain or Nader). I have a feeling, if you do that, you'll get exactly the rights that you deserve...
Another soldier said he thought that it was all right for Mrs. Clinton to visit [Bosnia], but "everyone really wants to see Sheryl Crow and Sinbad."
this comment has finally made me accept the fact that sinbad may have lost all of his cool with the kids.
and oh this can wait...especially if it doesn't effect me....its just someone else's problem.
I have a better idea.
Don't support the candidate any more than they support you.
You literally have nothing to lose.
Either way - O or C - you get a space at the end of the line. Stop trying to make it look like the options are anything better than that.
Chasing around O or C like they are the celebrity saviors of humankind is pointless and bound for disappointment. The stupid back and forth that goes on at blogs like this is completely retarded.
There is no difference. Both of them suck. Get over it. Talk about something important. That is one of the few remarkable things Obama has said that contains any substance.
Take his advice.
Damn. The glass is never even half-empty for you, is it?
I suppose that it would be less arguably offensive if he had actually done more to oppose the war. He didn't do much while he was in the Senate to stop it. If it was so important to him to even illustrate the respective silliness of arguing gay marriage at a time like this, then he should have a stronger record of fighting the war that is bankrupting us.
And now people are saying that he's right on about this.
This is a very bold political move, but it is one that has a purpose to distort his past, to give the perception that he is the "anti-war" candidate. It is not one that is steeped in the reality of his supposed iron-fisted fight against the war.
And no, I'm not offended. I just think it's cheap and a little ironic.
Uh, Sugamama, he wasn't in the Senate when we went to war.
Also, I think this prioritizing misses the point. He's not saying, "I don't care about gay marriage," or even, "the Iraq war is more important than gay marriage," (even though I personally think it is-- sorry). His point is that wedge issues like gay marriage (or illegal immigration, or whatever) are just political posturing to make people vote against their actual self interest. Obviously, for a gay person, gay marriage is an important issue. For a straight person, it really shouldn't even enter their minds when they're at the voting booth, as it really doesn't affect them either way. Why should people be basing their votes on issues that have no effect or bearing on their lives? This is a much more powerful argument for gay marriage than anything based on the bible or whatever else.
And, for the record, Obama is on the record as the most clearly pro-gay-rights candidate left. That's just a fact. Hillary dodges the issue, and so does McCain, so that Hillary can seem like she's pro gay rights and McCain can seem like he hates the gays for his base. Only Obama has come out on the record with an honest appeal to homosexuals.
I don't see the problem here.
Ok, I don't see anything wrong with this. I don't know how much you all know about Medford ... but I grew up in Southern Oregon (in Klamath Falls, over the mountain from Medford, but just as conservative). While there are some fabulous liberals in Ashland, the rest of the surrounding area is VERY conservative. It's the assholes who live in Southern Oregon who voted 70% in favor of the fucking marriage amendment and who voted for the OCA measures in the past. I've spent enough time talking about politics with people in Southern Oregon that I know that they spend way more energy and time trying to take away gay rights than they do thinking about real issues. I know a LOT of people in that area who base their votes entirely on gay marriage and abortion instead of the war. It's like Margaret Cho said -- millions of people voted for Bush in the last election just to be sure gay people couldn't get married. The war was going on and on with no end in sight, the economy was in the shitter, but god forbid we vote for that John Kerry because he might let gay people have civil unions. And a lot of those people live in Southern Oregon.
Obama wasn't saying "silly gay people, you care about this too much." He was saying Republicans who vote for candidates who will prevent gay marriage rather than for ones who will stop the war and global warming are dumb. He was addressing a town that he knows has a lot of people who vote based solely on those "family values" issues. I saw him in Eugene the night before and he said nothing about gay marriage, because Eugene residents, and the campus crowd in particular, tend to believe that gays are human beings with the same rights as the rest of us. It's NECESSARY to bring it up in Medford.
If you support Hillary, support Hillary, but frankly and I say this as a person who supports gay marriage 1000% and hates that it's not yet legal everywhere the war and global warming are way more important.
Speaking of gay marriage. There is a court case in Iowa that will be decided by the state supreme court case this year or next where most observers I have spoken to expect the court to either require civil unions or gay marriage. The result will certainly be a huge backlash against the Democrats who have held firm in blocking a Constitutional amendment this year and where the House Majority leader, Democrat Kevin McCarthy, forced a vote last year by using a rare procedure to force all lawmakers at the Statehouse into the House, where the doors were locked and the vote was taken. McCarthy and other dems took this because they wanted to force moderate Repubs in swing districts to vote, assuming, correctly, that they would pick up enough votes to offset the few dems opposed to the bill. Anyway, this fall the Repubs are going to be going after dem state representatives in swing districts on the combination of this vote and the vote against a marriage amendment to try to retake the house so that if gay marriage or civil unions are approved by the court they can move to amend Iowa's constitution. And frankly, we need your help to stop this. This a.m. I set up a web site to start raising such funds through Act Blue, please contribute if you can. Thanks.
To see details and contribute now please go to the address below or click my name:
Okay, in my defense I set up the act blue page in the middle of the post and am so late to get to work I didn't properly proofread. My apologies. Here's what I meant to say.
National anti-gay organizations are targeting a take over of the Iowa House of Representatives because it, like the Iowa Senate, passed civil rights legislation protecting Iowans from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation last year and because this year both chambers held firm against allowing a vote on an Amendment to the Iowa Constitution that would have prevented the state Supreme Court from issuing a pending decision on the issue of whether the state constitution affords gay Iowans equal access to marital rights. By all accounts, a decision by the Iowa Supreme Court in favor of gay marriage or civil unions is a clear possibility and the actions of the Iowa House leadership in standing firm on these issues leave the Democratic majority in the Iowa House of Representatives at serious risk. So, frankly, Iowans need your help in offsetting all the oustide funds streaming into Iowa Republican coffers.
At this point in time, the best place to donate is to the Iowa Democratic Majority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, who will transfer the funds to those Iowa house members most in need and at risk. Kevin is a bright and savy legislator who engineered the use of a rare procedure to lock all members of the Iowa House in its chamber last year to force Republicans in moderate districts to vote up or down on the civil rights legislation, a maneuver that resulted in yes votes from a number of Republican legislators representing moderate swing suburban districts.
Kevin is also solidly progressive on other issues and determined to maintain a lasting Democratic majority in the Iowa House of Representatives. Please help me show him that such a majority can be one that shuns all discrimination against the LGBT community by contributing through this site.

Mr. Me, I agree that issues such as health care and ending the endless war are more important than gay marriage. He simply doesn't have that strong of an anti-war record (he didn't have to be in the Senate to play a larger role in stopping the war and I recognized that he wasn't a Senate member in 2002). In fact, when he was sworn in to the Senate, it took him 18 months to come out against it - and did so around the time he began his exploratory committee for the Presidency bid. That's a long considering the claims he made in his OR speech.
Thus, I know he's not anti-gay or pro-war. I just think he's giving the impression of having done something he didn't: fight hard against the war. Secondly, if McCain had made a similar comparison (even though I know he wouldn't stop trying to "sell" the war), we would probably be bitching.
All I ever see ECB do is put Obama down- its defensive. I think maybe once or twice, but not nearly as many times as I've seen her defense have I seen her actually explain to us why she's such a HRC fan.
Why? Erica? WHY?!? (and dont make it about Obama this time)

BYU and Wisconsin have finalized a home-and-home football series, according to a report today by Tom Mulhern of the Wisconsin State Journal.
Wisconsin would host BYU at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison in 2013. The Badgers would then return the trip to LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on a date to be announced.
BYU and Wisconsin have been rumored to be in discussions for a series for some time now. Back in March, BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall said there was a "good chance" that the Cougars would schedule the Badgers.
The two schools first and only meeting was in 1980 in Madison. The Cougars won that game 28-3.
If the series becomes official, it will be another strong opponent for BYU's 2013 football schedule. The Cougars are already slated to host Boise State, Georgia Tech, Texas, and Utah and travel to Hawaii, Houston, Notre Dame, Utah State, and Washington State.
As for Wisconsin, BYU would be their third non-conference game scheduled in 2013. The Badgers open the 2013 season at home vs. UMass and also travel to face Arizona State.
Football Schedules:
The TBD status on the return date to Provo is what it is due to conference affiliation issues pertaining to BYU. As many know (or refuse to believe), BYU has been in discussions with the Big 12, and could very well find themselves joining that league in time for the 2014 season. The fact that BYU is looking at league options should explain why the independent scheduling has been so tedious for Holmoe, who has to have voidable or postpone-able contracts before he can make a firm commitment with another school. Another contingency he has for remaining 2013 dates which fans might not like is Idaho and New Mexico State who will by that time be without an FBS conference.
Word from Doug Fullerton of the Big Sky is that Idaho has been seriously negotiating with them for a return of basketball and the non-revenue sports for as early as 2013-14 and football perhaps later since the Vandals would need at least 2 seasons to pair scholarships down from 85 to the FCS mandated 63 and not wipe out an entire recruiting class.
Replace B12 with Big East and your paragraph might make sense. BYU to the B12 died a long time ago. It'll happen right after Notre Dame joins us.
What David C. Moore stated is exactly right. At this point, it's 95% certainty that BYU will be in the BIG XII by 2014.
How's that bully beat down show treating you?
And he lives …
Ryan, welcome back! Sure, you aren't exactly a close BYU "fit", but you are part of our large dysfunctional family! Glad the prodigal son has returned. Kessman represent! Go Cougs!
With the Ryan Kessman post, all hope I had of BYU to BIGXII died. . .
Ryan Kessman? LOL! You've avoided Taco Bell right?
Who's BYU's joining partner then? Would love to see it happen. ND and BYU in the Big 12. One can dream, can't we?
Is it true there is less than a 50/50 chance the Badgers would make a return to Provo and just buy out the contract due to their past scheduling issues? I've heard and read that Wisconsin has a hard time scheduling a tough schedule unless fits until their teams' make-up for that given season.
Wisconsin is unlikely to schedule two long road trips to play NC FBS teams in the same year, so eliminate 2014 (Washington St.), 2016 (VaTech), and 2018 (Washington). Though both are coming to Madison, the Badgers already have Washington and VaTech on schedule for 2017, I wouldn't expect a third tough NC opponent. This leaves 2015 as most likely IMHO.
I am a big BYU fan, and I would love to see the Cougs go to the Big 12. But, alas, it simply will not happen. There is no doubt that they have been talking. But everyone else out there has been in talks as well. Being in talks is nothing more than just that unless in results in an invitation. At this point in time, it appears that the Big 12 member institutions are content with their current composition. The new B12 commish, Bob Bowlsby, just did a radio interview on ESPN Dallas, and I heard nothing that would indicate that they are looking to expand…
Independence has its headaches (November scheduling, for one). But I now direct my following comment to the "independence nay-sayers":
BYU has NEVER EVER EVER had a schedule as interesting as their upcoming 2013 schedule. It was already premium BEFORE adding Wisconsin.
BYU independence continues to look like a failure. I see many years worth of poor home schedules where the last home game is in mid October. 2013 looks half decent, but I expect us to get 1 decent home slate in exchange for 3 turd home schedules. Hopefully Wisconsin keeps up their end of the contract but I doubt we will ever see them in Provo. But hey, at least ESPN is paying us $5M a season, so that makes it worth it to fans like me. SMH
Fire Holmoe for the love of God.
No so fast my friends . . .independence was a great move by BYU to set them up for a Big 12 invite. My pick for an invite to the Big 12 . . . the Cougars of BYU!
Put down the crack pipe. The B12 just picked two schools ahead of BYU. And now BYU isn't even on their radar. We are staying Indy or going Big East.
A home and home series with Wisconsin and all you crackers can talk about is the Big 12… so stupid.
Agreed. Looking forward to these games.
Comment deleted by admin for profanity.
you racist nignog
BYu will play in Big 12 next year or so. I also think FloridaSt. will join aswell
Wed get killed. It's very important to stick to playing Utah State Hawaii & the WAC
Yeah it was very important to get away from Utah & TCU. Our inability to win the MWC was getting downright embarrassing. Can't wait for our November rivalry games against Idaho U! We are awesome. This who plan is a raging success.
Seriously, Max. BYU had a horrible record against Utah in the 3 years you started (2-1).
Why won't the B12 or Pac12 invite us? I don't get it.
BYU won't ever be invited for several reasons. One, BYU does not fit the very first requirement for being in the PAC. You must be a research institution. BYU is not. If they were, Cal specifically, is very opposed to any religiously affiliated schools. The Sunday thing is an inconvenience, but if the PAC really wanted BYU, they'd work around it. Next, they may have a national fanbase, but it's not enough to add a significant enough television market. BYU's deal with ESPN is for something like 2M? I might be a little off, but it's somewhere around there. If that's what the market says BYU is worth, then they don't warrant adding them because schools currently receive north of 20M per year from television starting this year. Also, at this point, there is no reason at all to go beyond 12.
Well, no one will come out and say it, but the Pac 12 is happy with 12 teams and don't want to be locked into not being able to schedule games on Sundays, due to BYU's superstition that Sunday is reserved for a man to spend time with his wives. They also feel it is unfair that BYU gets to automatically redshirt athletes for 2 years when they go on their mission to find people ready to abandon their own religious beliefs and join the holy undergarment sect.
On the other hand, the Big 12 needs to extra bodies to get to 12 and reinstate a conference playoff, and their options are limited. Perhaps UTSA will be ready to step up in a couple of years, and BYU will be an adequate fit for the 12th school. The other options would be teams like UNM and Colorado State, and they would be more weak links (see Iowa State) that don't add much beyond counting as a FBS member.
Is BYU willing to abandon the only program on the BYU network that people actually watch, to join a conference where Texas calls all the shots? It doesnt seem like a good fit for me. I think the Big East is more likely, especially if they have SDSU, Boise and (probably) AFA already out west. otherwise, get used to seeing a lot of WAC teams.
a byu/air force pairing would work good for either the big east or big 12
they need to kick penn state out of the big ten!
Agreed Greg…..anything short of a death penalty is a incredible insult to the victims of Sandusky. SMU did far less wrong doing and yet they got nailed….Pedophile State deserves the same.
And no,I can't see BYU to the Big 12…..

Charity: Donating your time without the costs
One of my resolutions this year is to get involved with a charity and do some volunteer work. Normally I would make a yearly donation to various charities but this year I really wanted to dive in and make a more personal contribution by giving up my time to help.
After doing a bit of research on this I realised that volunteering…Not Cheap!! I looked at spending a few weeks abroad to help out with third world community development, orphanage volunteering as well as animal welfare and all options cost more than any holiday I have ever paid for! :-O
I can appreciate that housing, food and flights for volunteers aren't cheap but I was surprised that there was no discounted concession for this under the charity, airlines etc so more people are encouraged to get involved.
Refusing to be deflated by this I looked at other options close to home (London) and to my shock, most major (well-known) charities had a "wait list" or an application process that has admin fees! I am totally dumb-founded by this.
However with a bit of help from www.do-it.org.uk I found some interesting Volunteering roles in London that sounded great and don't cost a penny! Here are some of my favourites;
– Mentor a Young Person – Friendship Works – See here
– Hospital Radio Station Volunteer – See here
– Festivals/Events Organiser – See here
– Library Events Volunteer – See here
So I'm opening up my comments feed! Tell me how you plan to donate your time this year. I would love to hear of any other vacancies that are available. Either from charities themselves or if you are a part of a charity please post the role title, where it is and the link and lets help more people give their time without having to pay to volunteer.
I would also love to hear if there are any airlines out there who offer discounts to volunteers who are donating their help abroad.
Lets make 2013 a year of giving!

U.S. Navy Ship Fires on Small Boat in U.A.E., Killing One
ABU DHABI—A U.S. Navy ship fired on a small boat in the Persian Gulf, killing at least one crew member, in a reflection of rising tensions in the region.
The USNS Rappahannock, a refueling ship with a mostly civilian crew, fired a .50-caliber machine gun on the small boat in the waters off the United Arab Emirates on Monday.
The smaller vessel was a fishing boat, an Emirati diplomat said in a statement. One Indian fisherman was killed and three Indian nationals were critically injured, said U.A.E. deputy foreign affairs minister Tareq Al Haidan.
A spokesman at India's Ministry of External Affairs couldn't be reached for immediate comment.
The shooting occurred close to the entrance of the port of Jebel Ali, the diplomat said, adding that Emirati authorities are investigating the matter.
U.S. officials defended the actions of the Rappahannock, saying the small vessel ignored a series of nonlethal warnings. "The safety of our vessels and our personnel is our utmost priority. Our ships have an inherent right of self-defense against potential threats," said Lt. Greg Raelson, a spokesman for the Navy's Fifth Fleet. "In this situation you had a small motor vessel that was deliberately approaching and did not respond to any warnings."
Small boats laden with explosives pose significant risks to U.S. Navy ships, and could potentially disable a ship and wound or kill crew members. Iranian fast boats frequently buzz warships patrolling the Persian Gulf, prompting Naval officers to fire warning shots.
A series of near-miss incidents in the Persian Gulf, including boats from Iran's Revolutionary Guard threatening Western warships, has prompted the U.S. military to propose a hotline with Tehran to prevent accidental escalations.
U.S. officials said the small boat wasn't Iranian. There were six people aboard, officials said.
Small fishing boats that dot the waters of the Persian Gulf are frequently owned by Emiratis or Iranians but are generally operated by crew members of other nationalities.
The Rappahannock's response seemed appropriate, said Michael Corgan, professor at Boston University, citing the 2000 attack on the USS Cole by a small boat laden with explosives.
"No US Navy skipper wants to be another USS Cole," he said. "Any speedboat closing a man-of-war or military ship in those waters at high speed is asking for it."
U.S. officials wouldn't describe the warning protocols, which typically include warning shots and verbal commands in multiple languages to change direction.
"The crew repeatedly attempted to warn the vessel, and everything was done in accordance with Navy force-protection procedures," said Lt. Raelson. "The vessel disregarded the warnings and that is when lethal force was resorted to."
The incident occurred about 2:30 p.m. local time in the territorial waters of the U.A.E., about 10 miles from Jebel Ali, the Emirates' main container port and a point where U.S. naval vessels frequently stop to refuel. The Rappahannock was traveling to the UAE to make a port call.

Investing With the Activists
A number of high-profile "shareholder activists," from Carl Icahn to Nelson Peltz, have set their sights on companies this year. The strategy: Buy big stakes and then agitate for strategic changes to boost shareholder value, from small operational tweaks to selling the entire company.
Does it make sense for ordinary investors to try to go along for the ride?
In short, maybe. Piggybacking on activists' investments can indeed pay off, say researchers, but their strategies can be difficult to follow and fraught with risk.
This week, Mr. Peltz, of Trian Fund Managment, sent a letter to financial firm State Street STT -0.77 % saying he might take a more active role in the company. On Oct. 11, merchant bank Jaguar Financial pressured tech giant Research In Motion to sell itself or break up. And Mr. Icahn, of Icahn Capital, recently disclosed a near 10% stake in engine-maker Navistar. NAV 0.16 %
Many more activists are working behind the scenes, says Damien Park, managing partner of activist consulting-and-research firm Hedge Fund Solutions. This year through Oct. 10, Mr. Park's firm has tracked 279 formal requests for structural or management changes, up from 265 during the same period a year ago.
"There's an extraordinary amount of activism going on. It's the busiest I've seen it since 2006," Mr. Park says.
Activists typically disclose their involvement in a company through a so-called 13-D filing, which they are required to file within 10 days of acquiring more than 5% of a company's shares. Institutional money managers with assets of more than $100 million also must disclose their holdings in form 13-F every quarter.
Some such filings can happen quietly, but at some point, activists loudly proclaim the changes they want to see in public letters or news releases and try to round up other shareholders to pressure company management.
Whether activists actually improve company performance or are just out for a quick buck is hotly debated. But some research has shown that investors who chased them into a stock have been rewarded handsomely.
One 2008 study by Duke University professor Alon Brav and other researchers found that an investor who constructed an equally weighted portfolio that bought activist targets a month after the initial filing, and held it for three months afterward, beat the market by more than one percentage point a month, on average, after adjusting for risk and other factors. But Prof. Brav notes that the outperformance disappears if all of the conditions aren't met.
Research in 2007 by Harvard University professor Robin Greenwood and then-student Michael Schor found that companies that become the target of an activist are more than twice as likely to be acquired within a year than companies that aren't targeted. The targets that were ultimately taken over had risk-adjusted returns 15% and 20% better than the overall market—but companies that missed the boat didn't have any outperformance.
If you want to try to follow activists' purchases, there are a few things you have to keep in mind.
For one, trying to keep track of proposed company buyouts can be a full-time job, notes Todd Sullivan, who writes investing newsletter ValuePlays.net and recently started a hedge fund.
Shares of Clorox, CLX 0.07 % for example, fell 5% in one day in September when Mr. Icahn dropped his push for a sale of the company. "You needed to watch that situation minute by minute," Mr. Sullivan says.
And even successful activists have flame-outs. In 2008, Mr. Icahn launched a public battle with Yahoo's YHOO -2.69 % board to push the Internet search company into a merger with Microsoft, MSFT 0.28 % which had offered to buy Yahoo at $33 a share. Mr. Icahn ultimately won a few seats on Yahoo's board and at one time owned as many as 75 million shares, more than 5% of the company. But the sale didn't happen, and by early 2010 he had cut his stake to 12 million shares.
If you had followed Mr. Icahn into Yahoo when he first confirmed he would launch a proxy fight in May 2008, you would now be sitting on losses of more than 41%.
"If you look at a Microsoft or Yahoo situation, you can immediately see that there weren't activist investors who held a large enough stake to realistically effect change," Mr. Sullivan says.
Mr. Icahn says he believes investors who followed his 13-D filings would have performed better than those who followed his 13-Fs, but says he wouldn't recommend either as a strategy.
Some activists' strategies also are difficult to replicate, and not all have good performance, says Mazin Jadallah, CEO of AlphaClone, which builds portfolios intended to replicate many hedge-fund strategies.
Retail investors should stick with hedge-fund managers who keep positions in companies they buy for an average of a year, Mr. Jadallah says. That way, you can follow managers' 13-F filings, which institutional money managers must file quarterly to disclose their holdings, rather than trying to keep track of every 13-D a manager sends out.
Still, a 13-F won't include any short positions the fund has and many other kinds of holdings.
You also should be prepared to stick with a tracking strategy for at least five years, says Zack Miller, author of Tradestreaming.com, a site that follows the trading habits of activists and other managers. Even good managers have two- to three-year stretches of underperformance, he says.
For example, a portfolio that bought the top-10 holdings of Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital and rebalanced into his top 10 every quarter would have lost more than 22% this year, according to AlphaClone. But since the fund's first filing in January 2006, such a strategy would have gained almost 27%, compared with just a 6% gain for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
Rather than tracking an activist's portfolio exactly, you can use 13-F filings to home in on stocks that look undervalued even without activist involvement.
"Pick managers and companies you understand. If you don't understand the underlying company, investing alongside an activist is just gambling," Mr. Sullivan says.

Justin O'Brien is a fumbling new manager at DataDump Corp. His employees are disgruntled, his department is floundering, and he feels like a failure. Desperate, he sends a letter for help to "Ask Dr. Mac", a newspaper advice columnist on workplace issues. To Justin's surprise and delight, Dr. Mac takes a personal interest in his letters and provides timely advice that helps him navigate through the trials and tribulations of becoming a manager.
©2011 Greg Giesen (P)2011 Greg Giesen
"A touching story about life, leadership, and personal growth. The special bond between Justin and Dr. Mac is truly a Greater Than Yourself relationship in action!" (Steve Farber, best-selling author of The Radical Leap Re-Energized and Greater Than Yourself)
"Greg's authenticity and his ability to teach through his writing is what makes Mondays at 3 a must read for every manager" (Tommy Spaulding, New York Times best-selling author of It's Not Just Who You Know)
"Mondays at 3 talks about some of the most important and specific challenges a new leader faces. If you are a new leader, read this book! If you lead, coach or mentor new leaders, read it yourself and buy copies for them!" (Kevin Eikenberry, co-author of From Bud to Boss: Secrets to a Successful Transition to Remarkable Leadership)
"A true life learning experience"
This is the best book about management I've ever read. It is very "authentic":). Rather than another dry textbook with theories and advice, it is written as fiction and allows you to literally become Justin and live his experiences. Great for new managers and those who have been on the job for years but want to improve. The author has an amazing understanding of human dynamics and his love for group process and leadership enhancement is clear throughout the book. The journal and work book are a great addition. Excellent narration, very clear and entertaining.
The realization that "I've been there, done that".
"From couch football junkie to a leader- a memoir."
All in all, great work.
"A Management Guide"
I enjoyed this witty book. It's a guide for new managers that is written in a format of business fable. I listened to it twice and jotted down numerous valuable and practical advices that I can apply in my daily activity. The book is very easy to follow and the narration is one of the best I've listened. If you like the Patrick Lencioni's style, you'll find this book interesting.
"Helpful Guide for a New Manager"
Justin's jornal has so much valuable information that reflects the work environment regardless of the type of industry.
I want my very own Dr. Mack, an email address where I can send my
First time listener
Great the way he included humor into the story line. A new manager will make mistake, but it is not the end of the world!
"Good listen"
I enjoyed the book, the authors revelations of characters in conflict and why is insightful.
The author attempts to remind the reader that both managers and employees are human, with emotions, inner conflict and issues.
This book is a good follow to other development books such as
