Investors with less than $500,000 in investable assets remain largely underserved by advisors, according to a new report.
Cerulli Associates, Boston, arrives at this conclusion in its first quarter, 2013 issue of "The Cerulli Edge, Managed Accounts Edition." The survey explores the managed account process and provides a quantitative update on assets and growth rates, program sponsors, third-party vendors, asset managers and cash flows.
The report finds that 34 percent of investors with between $100,000 and $500,000 in investable assets agree that they need more financial advice.
"These investors, are not the priority of practices targeting the higher wealth tiers, but they represent a largely untapped and profitable market for the vast majority of advisors," the report states.
The survey adds that investors with $100,000 to $500,000 in investable assets tend to rely on themselves (52 percent of those polled) and friends or relatives (22 percent) more than full-service advisory firms (24 percent) or independent advisors (11 percent) as sources of financial advice.
Among investors with $500,000 to $2 million investable assets, the results are less skewed towards the do-it-yourselfers: Just over 6 in 10 investors look to themselves (44 percent) or friends/relatives (19 percent) for financial advice. This compares to 40 percent and 14 percent, respectively, of investors in this cohort who prefer a full-service broker/investment firm or independent advisor.
When asked whether they would be willing to pay for financial advice, 34 percent of investors agree with the statement, the survey shows. The finding is on par with the results of prior years:
● 2008: 31 percent
● 2009: 32 percent
● 2010: 34 percent; and
● 2011: 33 percent.
The proportion of investors who indicate they would be prepared to pay for financial advice, 35 percent of those polled, also is comparable to results of the prior year surveys. And 31 percent of respondents are "neutral" about the statement.

This is written on the morning of one of the great days in America, Election Day. The politicking is done. The decisions are upon us. It's a great privilege to choose who shall be given the temporary power to govern, and what rules shall be in place for all. Say what you will about America. It's one terrific country.
The newspaper has yet to comment on the year's biggest economic announcement, the expansion of Ventana Medical Systems in Oro Valley. The numbers are big — $181 million in investment over a five-year period, the creation of up to 500 new good-paying jobs, an estimated long-term economic impact of $640 million. Wow.
The incentive numbers are big, too. State, county and town governments are providing Ventana assistance — in the form of federal stimulus funds for job training, property reclassification for the purpose of taxation, and forgiveness of parts of development fees. Those dollars given, and dollars not collected by governments, add up to some $13 million over a 10-year period. A lot of money, especially in a time when governments are strapped.
Should these incentives have been provided to Roche, one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, and to Ventana, already a powerhouse in the economy?
Yes, we believe, for several reasons.
Above all, the expansion means more good-paying jobs for people who buy goods, services and houses in our communities. Don't forget that. Directly, Ventana won't generate the sales, and sales tax revenue, our communities need to pay for goods and services. Their employees spend the money, and pay the taxes. "Together, we can really help drive the economy," Ventana president Hany Massarany said. It's so true.
We are housing-dependent communities. Housing prices have been rocked here, and everywhere. Declining home values are a threat to economic well-being, as a collective and as individuals. So, when a major employer decides to create 500 new jobs, we should all rejoice. The value of our homes is at least stabilizing, and eventually shall appreciate.
Here's another reason incentives must be supported.
If we don't offer them, someone else will.
Last week, reporter Patrick McNamara detailed some of the information from requested e-mails that had Ginovus, the company that represented Roche / Ventana in its site selection process, telling local officials our incentives weren't competitive with those of communities such as Indianapolis, which at one point was able to put three times — three times! — the incentives Arizona placed before the companies.
Eventually, local governments put together the best deal they could, and it worked.
Incentives to industry may be distasteful to some. Certainly, direct public benefit must be demonstrated whenever possible. Still, incentives are a fact of modern economic development. If we accept as much, and recognize the greater benefit, we can compete.
A few points about all of this:
• There's got to be at least a little conflict on the part of Republicans in office who have consistently panned the "failed stimulus package." Gov. Jan Brewer is putting up something like $3 million in "failed stimulus package" money for Ventana to train workers. It's bound to actually "stimulate" the economy, in comparison to some other decisions made with that money. Hey _ maybe that stimulus deal wasn't so bad after all;
• Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities stepped up to help make this happen. TREO has had its critics in the Northwest, and relations have been cordial if not always warm between the economic development group and Oro Valley (and with Marana, too). On this one, though, behind the scenes, TREO was an important player, lauded by Massarany and others;
• People inside Oro Valley government say there's a new, pro-business attitude in the community. Here's evidence for it.
Of course, this all began before the last election, and the previous administration and council members have been supportive of Ventana expansion. That must be acknowledged. Special praise has been given to Councilman Barry Gillaspie, a key transitionary figure across the springtime votes, for keeping the deal alive. He deserves credit. So does everyone else within government, and on the council.
Everyone must remember that towns either grow, or they recede. There's no standing still. Growth in the bioscience world is the envy of every modern economy in this country. There's no way around it — Ventana's expansion is a real gain for Oro Valley, the Northwest and Pima County.

Movie SummaryBeginning of the End
Description: Produced by Bert I. Gordon, The Beginning of the End a menacing onslaught of giant-sized grasshoppers. Department of Agriculture functionary Peter Graves and photojournalist Peggie Castle discover that the huge grasshoppers are the product of a gone-awry experiment in radioactivity. Before the Army can neutralize the green monstrosities, Chicago has been besieged by the ravenous insects. Beginning of the End was one of two horror films produced by American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres; the other was The Unearthly (1957).~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

The University of Toledo begins defense of its Mid-American Conference championship tonight at 6 against Eastern Michigan at Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti.
It's the earliest conference opener for the Rockets since 1989, when they spanked Ohio 27-18 in their first game.
"Eastern Michigan is a big game for us because it's a league game and a divisional opponent," UT coach Tom Amstutz said. "It puts pressure on us to play well."
Toledo and EMU play in the MAC's West Division. However, for the first time in history, all eight conference games will count in the overall standings.
Toledo is 11-2 since Amstutz replaced Gary Pinkel as coach before last season, and the Rockets are 21-3 since the start of the 2000 season - the fourth-best record in Division I-A.
"When a team loses 23 seniors like Toledo did, you'd expect there to be some drop-off, but I haven't seen it," EMU coach Jeff Woodruff said.
Toledo opened the season with a 44-16 victory over Cal Poly on Aug. 29; two days later Eastern was trounced 56-7 by 15th ranked Michigan State. EMU's defense yielded 625 yards and 31 first downs and the Eagles' offense had eight three-and-out series.
Woodruff also employed two quarterbacks against the Spartans. Starter Troy Edwards was 18-for-41 for 133 yards. Backup Jeff Crooks, who started a few games last year, was 5-for-8 for 54 yards.
"I expect them to be very emotional and to play a good game," Amstutz said. "I think they'll be fired up to play at a high level against us."
UT leads the series 19-10 and has won the last two meetings between the schools.

Twenty four years ago today, my then-boyfriend called his sister and announced, "I'm getting married tomorrow."
His sister said, "I'm not falling for that one. I know what day it is today."
Then-boyfriend said, "I'm serious."
Sister answered, "Yeah, sure. Pull the other one, why don't ya?"
And thus it was that twenty four years ago tomorrow, when then-boyfriend and I got married in the Queens County Courthouse in Kew Gardens, New York, none of his family was there.
I've never been a fan of April Fool's Day. My dad would always come up with these great ideas for foolery, and I'd get all excited, and then it would turn out that there was no moose on the lawn, or no chocolate cake in the kitchen, and I'd end up being disappointed.
Disappointment sucks. So does feeling like an idiot. On April 1st or any other time.
So I will not be trying to fool anyone today. Scout's honor.
Instead, what I'll do is send a copy of Mortar and Murder to a random commenter who tells me the best April Fool's Day joke they ever perpetrated on someone else, or had perpetrated on them. It's fitting, since Mortar and Murder opens on April 1st.
On April Fool's Day, Derek started work on his dream house. If I had thought about it I would have realized that that was a bad sign, but no, I was just too excited that he finally had something to do, to worry about anything else.
And I solemnly swear I will not come back tonight with a, "Ha-ha, just kidding!"
Happy April 1st, everyone!

Honestly, from the ones I've known, it depends upon the individual. As for learning a second or third language, if you pass the DLAB and there is a slot or funding, you can go to DLI. Other places have language school, like at Bragg. I was called years ago to see if I wanted to go learn Russian, but I couldn't get away. Wish I had.
As for quality, not everyone can make it. But.... you get some bad apples in there like any situation. I knew one who was a GREAT guy. And then I had an employee who was former SF and an ex con. In the military, you get a mixed bag of people.
I've been asked twice to apply to SF, but passed. Maybe if I had been younger, maybe if the right situation arose. But to me it was the ultimate compliment when someone who is SF asks you to do that.
I've known Para Rescue guys, Rangers, SF, Recon and one former SEAL. It just depends upon the individual, at least that's the way I see it.
Oh are there any soldiers from ft stewart in this group? And also is this a place where I can vent when they do something religious that I get sucked into? Like prey during special pops >.< I'm fat, I don't need god's help to get me skinny... I need diet and excercise and an eating disorder
I'm really ticked off now…..BIG TIME!
Last night I expected all the "rapture" yahoo's to be gone. All I expected to find was a bunch
of clothes, empty house, apartments, mobile homes and the like. Cars just left on the street with the keys in them.
I had planned to go out looting. I was gonna clean up with the cash they left behind, their valuables, jewels, precious metals, silverware, electronics and the such.
I even had a SHOPPING LIST!
And I had a list of things my friends wanted….. Of course, there were some prescription meds certain friends wanted me to get for them…. And some things that weren't prescription as well….
It only goes to show you, you can't trust these "rapture" clowns….
Sigh……..back to clipping coupons….
I can almost see Naval Station Norfolk from my house. Let me know if you need any help and if our schedules work out I am there for you.
Fort Jackson is ideal if you can address the senior leaders of the BCT units and everybody at the Chaplains' School. I just finished the AIT PSG course there and it wouldn't hurt to include their cadre, not because they have issues, but because more than a few SSGs and SFCs attending the course have prejudices against atheists...I sat next to one...from Fort Gordon (Signal School). AND...The Master Resilience Trainer Course at Victory University where they discuss the CSF and GAT...and more to the point, spiritual wellness...go get 'em!

text: We delayed this as long as possible, putting all of you into crushing fits of suspense, finally we give the people what they want - kei cars. These loveable, huggable, sub-sub-compact cars are popular for many reasons. The biggest reason for the niche is that they avoid pesky tax and insurance rates by virtue of their diminutive size. That size also serves an alternate purpose; Tokyo has roads that would make a hardened San Francisco road warrior break into a cold sweat. Roads are steep, they are windy, and they are incredibly narrow at times. Sometimes the only way to carry crates of Ramen, buckets of fish, and platters of raw horse meat (delicious) to their destinations is with the help of a mighty keitruck. To borrow a phrase from Gizmodo's Adam Frucci, "For all your most adorable cargo."

A sure sign of Supernatural's own impact on pop culture is that it is now referenced itself.

Working with your ex would be a nightmare for many — but Russian ballet stars Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev insist their former relationship only makes their dancing better.
The stars, whose romance broke up last year, were united on stage at the Coliseum in London last night for Solo for Two, their joint contemporary dance debut.
Osipova, 28, said it was "very different emotionally" from working on classics like Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.
"With contemporary choreography, I think I can show my dark side," she said.
"You can be strong, you can be real. I have to be honest — with classical dance, you can't."
Osipova and Vasiliev were with the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow until 2011.
While previous ballet greats such as Sylvie Guillem have made the move into contemporary later in their careers, Osipova said it was good to do it now.
She said: "When you're getting older, it's more difficult. "
And she insisted their former intimacy only helped them dance well today: "It really helps us to work together. We're experienced partners. We are good friends."
Vasiliev, 25, agreed that having known each other for so long, collaboration was easier. "We help each other on stage," he said.
While he remains based in Moscow, Osipova is now living in London where she joined the Royal Ballet last autumn. "So far I like it a lot," she said through a translator.
She said one day people would understand why they had both left the famous Bolshoi — which has since faced troubles after an acid attack on its leader and claims of vicious rivalry.
Speaking at the St Martins Lane Hotel after the performance, the pair said they intended to work together more. "Of course," Osipova said. "The audience really enjoyed the performance."

Boyle-ing Points by Kevin Boyle
The law is the law," he said. "New York City Laws and Regulations will be enforced in an even-handed manner equally, against all violators."
Sounds fair and reasonable, huh?
But it ain't. In fact, in shows a remarkable lack of judgment and common sense. And that's the problem going on here in good ol' Rockapulco.
What did he say about all violators? Laws and regulations will be enforced against all violators. Is that everywhere or just on the beach? If it's everywhere, you better walk your bicycle onto the street (if you can find one that's not currently under construction); you better tell your seven year old to get the hell of the sidewalk and ride in street traffic because "the law is the law."
That's right. It's against the law to ride your bicycle on the sidewalk. Many of us think that we're subject to a bunch of old laws that nobody ever bothered to repeal or enforce. That ain't necessarily so. The current City Council passed the following just last year: (Section one. Subdivision b of section 19-176 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as enacted by local law number 6 for the year 1996), is amended to read as follows: §19-176 Bicycle operation on sidewalks prohibited. b. No person shall ride a bicycle upon any sidewalk unless permitted by an official sign. A person who violates this subdivision may be issued a notice of violation and shall be liable for a civil penalty of not more than one hundred dollars which may be recovered in a proceeding before the environmental control board.
And gosh forbid, your seven year old gets pulled over without proper ID. If they intend to treat everyone equally, they'll have to bring him into the precinct. Run his fingerprints….the whole dog and pony show. (That reminds me—are we supposed to swim with ID? Or are we supposed to leave our wallets on the beach blanket?)
Anyway, the bike law was passed because messengers in Manhattan were buzzing and endangering pedestrians. Such a law might make sense in a place like Manhattan but in a place like Rockaway? Uh-uh. No how. No way.
Think about it. When parents teach their kids how to ride a 2-wheeler it has to be done in the street (in the correct direction of traffic). Not on the sidewalk, not against traffic because…. the law is the law. Tell Granny who likes to keep youthful by riding her bike that she better get off the sidewalk and not go anywhere near the boardwalk between 10am-6pm because "the law is the law."
Well, if that's the case, then the law is a can of worms. Jaywalking? Loitering? Has that law about women having to wear robes when they come off the beach still on the books? Better check. How many inches did you park your car from the curb? There's a law against breathing, I'm sure. But here's my take: laws don't have to be changed. They have to be sensibly enforced. And selectively enforced. That's right. You want the law on the books so if things get completely out of control you can cite such laws. It's called discretion and we expect cops to use some. If a man is speeding his pregnant wife to the hospital and is pulled over, we hope the cop will use discretion and not spend 15 minutes writing a ticket. Imagine if the woman in labor had to hear "the law is the law." (Come to think of it, if she were in labor and she heard some crock an assault charge might follow).
We expect discretion and common sense. Hypothetically, if gangs are fighting each other on the beach, we (the public) should reasonably expect that police would direct their attention to such an incident rather than say, issuing a summons to 50 year old man sitting in a beach chair with a beer a few blocks away.
Someone said in last year's Wave, "if people don't like the laws, there are political mechanisms that exist for legislative change." Okay. But what I want to know is, what is the mechanism for injecting someone with a dose of common sense and discretion?
**Boyle-ing Over: Recently I had to accompany a famous hypochondriac and peerless complainer (Joe Kenel to some of you) to the hospital. Although he whined the entire time, the experience was somewhat pleasant for me because the staff at St. John's Hospital in Far Rock were so friendly, helpful, and professional. I hadn't been to St. John's in a while but the place looks great after some extensive rehab.
**Recently retired police officer—a chap overflowing with common sense—Marty Feeney was spotted managing a very fine Broad Channel all-star baseball team at Fort Tilden. Don't know how his vocal chords hold up—the guy doesn't stop chattering—-but I have to tip my hat because he spouts positive stuff at both teams. Somebody makes a good play—on either squad—he's quick with the praise. Nice to hear (even if his voice sounds like football cleats on gravel).
Broad Channel has got a wonderful sports program. Next up will be football and cheerleading registration. (Contact Marty at BCACwebsite@ aol.com or 718-318-0600). All Rockaway and Channel kids are welcome to join—and, you know, if all the local kids got together, we'd have a powerhouse. Marty tells me that the teams play in the NSFL league which is based in Nassau. Different divisions allow for play from 5 year olds to 14. And the cheerleading program is growing and gets to compete at Farmingdale college. Kids gets great uniforms, there are very reasonable fees, great friendships are formed and fun is abundant. So, in a nutshell—this is a great opportunity for boys and girls—contact Marty!
***Hello to Boyle-ing Points reader Maureen Dahler. And thanks for keeping the light on.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
I would like to ask you a few questions so that I can understand your situation better.
How often are you getting these injections?
How much do you weigh and how tall are you?
How many minutes per day do you walk (30 min? an hour?)?
How many calories per day do you approximately confuse - if its not too much, please write down what your typical breakfast/lunch/dinner consists of.
How often are you getting these injections? 1x per week
How much do you weigh and how tall are you? 203 5'8"
How many minutes per day do you walk (30 min? an hour?)? aprox 45 min 4x week
Breakfast - 5oz Plain Greek yogurt with tsp. of honey
Lunch - aprox. 6oz meat protein, with a salad (minimul dressing less than 1 tbsp.) or frozen green veggies
Snack - 1 oz nuts aprox 3x per week
Dinner - Salad with 4-6oz protein
I should have also asked you if you ever (or rather recently) had your thyroid function checked?
Also, from what you wrote about your food diary, it sounds that you are not consuming almost any carbs, correct?
Do you take an appetite suppressant (such as Phentermine)?
Yes, I had my thryoid checked this past December, and the test came back normal
I try to keep a low carb diet, don't get me wrong, if i have fajitas, I will have 1 tortilla. I will also have sweets, but try not to over induldge and i keep it as minimal as possible...
No, i don't take appedite supressants.
It sounds that everything you are doing is correct. Lipoden shots (in our weight loss clinic they are called Lipoplex) are not guaranteed to help you with weight loss. There are some patients who love them and some (and actually most) do not feel any difference taking them. These shots are supposed to improve energy levels and speed up metabolism but there is no actual scientific prove that they do. They are healthy to take just because of the high concentration of Vitamin B in them but I would personally not expect too much weight loss just from using the shots.
In terms of your diet...with your current weight you should be consuming about 1300 to 1500 calories per day, especially on the days you are exercising. From what you wrote down, it sounds that you are not consuming 1500 cal/day. Not consuming enough calories for the body's need will cause muscle breakdown and more accumulation of fat because the body is tricked into thinking its going into starvation mode.
I would recommend that you add some carbs to your breakfast and lunch. Having a wheat toast or wheat English muffin is good. Also you can use healthy grains such as Buckwheat or Quonoa to make different recipes and add meat to them. Avoiding carbs at night is a good idea, you can continue doing that. You should also have more snacks (you only have nuts 3x/week). What I would recommend is having greek yogurt for a snack instead of having it for breakfast. For breakfast you can have veggie omelet with cheese and piece of toast, or egg with oatmeal, or english muffin with low-fat cream cheese and lox. Also you can buy some protein bars and have them as snacks if you get tired of yogurt. Fruit is ok to use for snacks as well - better to have either berries or grapefruit, the rest of fruit has a lot of sugar but it doesn't mean you cannot have an apple or an orange when you want it.
Your exercise routine is good, you need to exercise a minimum of 45 min 4x/week so you are doing the right thing.
The bottomline is you need to make sure you are getting in at least 1300-1500 cal/day and adding a bit more carbs (have high protein diet is really bad for the cholesterol and is just unnecessary). Also, Lipoden shots are not a guarantee in assisting with weight loss.
I hope you find this information helpful. Best wishes and good luck

Levi Johnston has tied the knot with girlfriend Sunny Oglesby in Alaska on Sunday, Oct. 28. The couple welcomed daughter Breeze Beretta Johnston last month, Johnston's second child. He has a son, Tripp, with ex-girlfriend Bristol Palin.
TMZ reports that the couple were married in front of more than 100 friends and family, but Tripp was not present.
Johnston and Oglesby's little one weighed 6 lb., 15 oz. at the time of her birth on Sept. 12. She was 19 inches long and born just after 5 a.m. in Wasilla, Alaska. Yes, she's named after the handgun. Would you expect anything less from Johnston?
Palin has not yet commented on her ex's nuptials.

When backup weakside linebacker Gilbert Gardner returned to Indianapolis after training in Arizona during the offseason, he met with his position coach and learned that he'd have a new job this season. He was being inserted into the starter's role vacated by strongside linebacker David Thornton, who left the team as an unrestricted free agent for a new job with the AFC South rival Titans.
Gardner had been a diligent, hard-working player for two years as an understudy, sporadic starter and special teams player. After 22 game appearances, 42 tackles, a sack and an interception, he was going to get the opportunity to anchor a key position on the Colts defense. Fortunately for the Gardner, his primary position at Purdue was strongside linebacker. And he was a pretty disruptive player for the Boilermakers from that spot, making 23 tackles for losses, recovering 7 fumbles, forcing 7, and snagging 3 interceptions.
"I'm hoping I can replicate what I did and build upon what I did at Purdue," he told ColtPower during a recent interview.
And while his experience will be helpful, Gardner recognizes that the switch he's making will be a significant one in this Colts defense.
"Our strongside (linebacker) plays the outside contain a lot more depending on what the Will (weakside) linebacker does," he explained. "There's more responsibility to stay with your assignment, you don't have the freedom to roam around like you do as a Will."
Heading into training camp, unless there's an unexpected shakeup, Gardner will be the only new face on the first-team defense as players begin to compete for their spots on the depth chart. For some, that might present enormous pressure, but Gardner sees it as a plus.
"I think it's more of a comfort that I have guys around me that know what they're doing," he said. "It's added pressure, but it's good pressure that will help me do my best for those guys."
One thing's for sure. Gardner will take what he has learned from his new peers -- starters Gary Brackett and Cato June -- as well as from his former teammate, David Thornton and will step into his new role with the proper attitude.
"Those guys are all tough guys. They've instilled that in the entire linebacking corps," he said.
In addition to proving that he's ready to be a starter at the pro level, one other accomplishment that Gardner has his sights set on this year is to stay healthy. During both of his first two seasons in Indianapolis, he has had ankle problems that caused him to miss a total of five games. Hamstring and shoulder injuries caused him to miss three more.
"That's been a pain in my side for the last two years," he said. "And hopefully I can get through this season healthy. And once I do that, I think my play will speak for itself.
"It's football, and you know you're going to get hurt, and you're going to get banged up. I've tried to make sure those injuries are behind me and make sure my ankles are very strong. But you can't plan injuries, and when they happen you just have to just swallow and move on."
Gardner knows plenty about moving on, even after a severe injury. He was
never plagued by minor injuries during his collegiate career, but he had to
overcome one major one that threatened his football career. He broke his leg,
but managed to rehab it and regain the speed that helped him get recognized by
the Colts, earning him a third-round selection in the 2004 NFL Draft.
And now that it's his turn, his starter's job to lose, he's going to do whatever
it takes to hold onto it and to help his team win.
"It kind of feels like a new career for me," he said. "And I hope I can start it off on the right foot and get it going."
One man that definitely believes that Gardner will indeed "get it going" is his head coach, Tony Dungy. While talking about Gardner, Dungy recently said, "I think he's going to seize the opportunity."
It was a vote of confidence that meant a lot to Gardner.
"To hear that from the head coach, that's a great compliment,"
he said. "Also, coming from a man like him, it makes you want to play
even harder and makes you want to give everything you've got to help this team
to win -- and to do everything you can to win for him."

Activity Description
Playing board games or card games can be a fun activity, so why not make your own? Working together, the players will decide what the game will look like, how it will be played, and what kinds of materials are needed. When the game and directions are complete, have fun playing it!
Why This Is Helpful
Playing games can be fun. They bring people together and encourage cooperation, sharing, turn-taking, and sportsmanship. Creating a game together has the players think through the process, write about the process, and solve problems. Many literacy skills, such as reading and communicating, are part of playing games.

Planting Instructions
Dahlia Bulbs (tubers) are available in many catching colors and exotic shapes to give you a spectacular show of color in borders, beds or even containers. They have long been a favorite with gardeners as they are hardy and low maintenance. Dahlias will yield beautiful blooms from mid-summer through fall.
When to Plant your Dahlia Bulbs:
Unlike other bulbs such as Tulips, Dahlias like warm soils so plant Dahlia bulbs during the warmer and longer days of spring. Dahlias are usually planted about the same time you would plant your vegetable patch. Dahlia bulbs can be planted as late as mid-June in most parts of the country.
Where to Plant you Dahlia Bulbs:
Dahlia is an accommodating plant - it will grow almost anywhere! Dahlias will thrive in full sun but can tolerate some partial shade - the more sun, the bigger the flowers. Try to select a location that receives at least 6 hours of sun, sheltered from the wind and with, and this is vital, good drainage.
How to Plant your Dahlia Bulbs:
Dig a hole twice as deep and wide as the Dahlia bulb. Put the tuber in the hole with the "eye" on the tuber facing up. The eye is the point on the shoulder, or crown, of the tuber from which the plant grows. If you are planting a number of dahlias in the same location, they should be separated by about 2 feet to give each plant room to grow. The shorter varieties can be planted closer together. Plan for the rows to be 3 to 5 feet apart depending on the size of the plant. Fill in with soil to just cover the top of the bulb. As you begin to see new growth appear, cover again with soil. Covering the stem gradually will allow the stem to strengthen so it can support the flowers. Unless it is a very dry spring, it is not be necessary to water at the time of planting. The tubers will begin growing with the warmth and moisture in the soil. It is vital that they form a root system early in their planted life to assure a strong and healthy plant. Watering at the time of planting may encourage rot but as soon as your Dahlias are growing above the ground, water deeply to encourage strong roots.
How to Care for your Dahlia Bulbs:
Young dahlia plants do not need a lot of water; in fact, excessive water can lead to rotting of the plant. For larger plants, a good rule of thumb is to water if the rainfall is less than one inch in seven days. Pots require more regular watering. As the plant grows, remove any broken or damaged foliage. Good air circulation, especially near the ground is needed by the plants to prevent powdery mildew. Once the plants are several feet high the lower leaves can be removed to increase air circulation. Your dahlias will continue to bloom prolifically right up until frost. A heavy frost will kill the plant so you may want to dig the half a dozen or more tubers the plant has produced. Those tubers can then be stored and grown next spring!

One of the goals of Mac Gems is to find inexpensive software that makes Mac OS X even better--system tweaks and add-ons, productivity tools, and anything else that helps you get more out of your Mac. But as I've noted in the past, sometimes the features provided by third-party software are so useful that Apple decides they should be part of the OS itself. As a result, after every major new version of Mac OS X, I take a brief look at past Gems that are no longer necessary--or, at the very least, are less necessary for some people.
The good news for developers is that Snow Leopard focuses on under-the-hood changes, so it shouldn't kill off so many third-party products. Still, I've come up with a good number of Gems, listed below, whose developers may be feeling a bit nervous these days. Next to each item's name, I note whether the product's features are fully replaced by Snow Leopard's own, mostly replaced, or only partially so. Bonus: In comparing these Gems to Snow Leopard's functionality, chances are you'll learn about some of the new OS's lesser-known features.
Cameras (mostly): In Leopard and earlier, many people disliked the OS X feature that automatically opened iPhoto, Aperture, or another program whenever they connected a digital camera or media card. However, for some people the problem was that they wanted to open different apps for different devices. Cameras offers just such a feature, letting you choose which programs handle which devices, and can automatically download photos. In Snow Leopard, Apple finally offers a similar feature: launch OS X's Image Capture utility, connect a camera (or an iPhone or a memory card), and indicate which application should open the next time that device is connected. There's even an option to launch AutoImporter.app, a utility that automatically downloads the photos on the connected device to a folder called AutoImport in your Pictures folder. Cameras is still more attractive--I really like the previews as images are downloaded--but most of its functionality is now available right in the OS.
CoconutBattery (partial): There are a number of utilities out there that provide more information than Apple's stock battery-status menu, but CoconutBattery is especially useful because it shows both your battery's original and current capacity--in other words, how much juice the battery should be able to hold compared to how much it's actually able to store at this point in its life. If the current capacity is exceptionally low, it's a good sign you need a new battery. In Snow Leopard, the battery-status menu puts it in even plainer terms: Replace Now. (Thanks for the tip, @applehockey.) On the other hand, CoconutBattery still gives geeks all they info they'll ever want to know about their MacBook's battery.
HetimaClipping.qlgenerator (full): One of my little frustrations with Leopard was that the useful Quick Look feature didn't work with text clippings. This Quick Look plug-in added support for text clippings, but it's no longer necessary in Snow Leopard, which gives you Quick Look previews of text clippings right out of the box.
MagiCal, MenuCalendarClock, and probably a few others I'm forgetting (partial): These utilities let you put the date in the menu bar, a feature users have been asking for since OS X debuted. In Snow Leopard, Apple finally added just such a feature, which you can enable in Date & Time preferences. Yet you can't choose the format for this date display, and MagiCal, MenuCalendarClock, and other utilities provide many other features, such as drop-down calendars and the capability to view and create iCal events.
NicePlayer and others (partial): NicePlayer's biggest claim to fame in Leopard is that it let you play videos in full-screen mode without having to fork over $30 for QuickTime Pro. (There were also a number of AppleScript solutions that provided similar functionality.) Snow Leopard's QuickTime X eliminates the Pro/non-Pro delineation, along the way providing full-screen playback to everyone. NicePlayer still has a few unique tricks up its sleeve, though, including playlist support, adjustable aspect ratios, zooming with a scroll wheel or trackpad, and a plug-in architecture for adding additional codecs.
QuickTime X also renders less necessary a number of programs that made it easy to upload your own videos to YouTube: Snow Leopard's version of QuickTime Player provides, via its Share dialog, a simple YouTube encode-and-upload feature.
Network Location and MarcoPolo (partial): These road-warrior utilities use your network, peripherals, and other data to determine your physical location, and then perform specific actions depending on that location. Snow Leopard's new Core Location framework can determine your location based on your network, and the OS can automatically update your time zone accordingly. However, if you want your Mac to do stuff beyond just updating the time zone, you'll still need to lean on third-party software. In fact, the developers of Network Location, MarcoPolo, and similar utilities may opt to take advantage of Core Location to enhance their apps.
Service Scrubber (full): One of my favorite utilities for Tiger and Leopard was Service Scrubber, which let you disable particular services so the Services menu wasn't so cluttered; the utility also let you assign and edit the keyboard shortcut for each service. So I was pleased to find that Snow Leopard adds these very features. In fact, it even bests Service Scrubber by providing a much more usable interface right in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences.
Shimo (partial): In Tiger, OS X's built-in VPN client didn't work well with Cisco networks, so many of us turned to Shimo, which used Cisco's own software behind the scenes, but let you connect to your VPNs using a convenient menu-bar menu--letting you ignore the klunky, intrusive Cisco application. Leopard offered slightly better Cisco compatibility, but it still wasn't great, meaning Shimo was still a must-have for many Mac users. In Snow Leopard, Apple has dramatically improved Cisco-VPN compatibility, making both Shimo and the Cisco software itself much less necessary for some. But I'm still using Shimo enthusiastically: combined with Cisco's own software, Shimo is still much more reliable than OS X's own VPN client when connecting to some Cisco VPNs, and Shimo's additional features--auto-reconnect, Growl alerts, keyboard shortcuts, MobileMe configuration syncing, network detection, and more--continue to make it much more functional.
Sharpshooter (partial): A persistent complaint about Mac OS X's built-in screenshot feature is that screenshots have always been generically named: Picture1, Picture2, and so on. Sharpshooter is a nifty utility that pops up whenever you take a screenshot and gives you the opportunity to give that image a more descriptive name. After nearly a decade of Mac OS X, and years of the "classic" Mac OS before that, Snow Leopard finally provides slightly more useful screenshot filenames: the words Screen shot followed by the date and time (for example, Screen shot 2009-09-04 at 8.37.08 AM). Unfortunately, slightly is the key word here; this naming system doesn't tell you much about the contents of the screenshot itself, which means Sharpshooter is still quite handy. In addition, Sharpshooter gives you a preview of the screenshot before you save it and lets you choose, on the fly, the image format (PDF, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) and the location to which the image will be saved.
Snapz Pro X and ScreenFlow (partial): Users who want to record onscreen actions have long turned to utilities such as Snapz Pro X and ScreenFlow. But in Snow Leopard, QuickTime Player can make simple screen recordings--if your needs are basic, you may be able to get by with just this built-in feature. On the other hand, those who require finer control of what gets recorded, or more encoding and editing options, will stick with the much more advanced third-party tools.
SoundSource (partial): As someone with a Mac Pro that has a cable connected to nearly every audio input and output jack, for years I've used SoundSource to choose my audio-in and -out devices from a convenient systemwide menu. But in Snow Leopard, a simple Option-click on Apple's own volume menu (enabled in the Sound pane of System Preferences) gives you similar options for choosing your input and output. Still, I'm sticking with SoundSource for a couple reasons: One is the capability to choose different volumes for different sources, but my favorite is that SoundSource automatically switches audio output to and from my Mac Pro's headphone jack whenever I plug in and unplug my headphones, respectively--something the Mac Pro, unlike most Macs, won't do on its own.
TextExpander, TypeIt4Me (partial): New to Snow Leopard is the Text Substitution feature, which can automatically replace designated text (for example, addy) with other text (say, your complete postal address). The feature can also be used to type special characters and to auto-correct frequently misspelled words. However, despite its promise, for many people this feature is unlikely to replace third-party text-replacement utilities such as TextExpander and TypeIt4Me: Snow Leopard's feature works only with particular software, and it's much less powerful and customizable.
What's Keeping Me? and What's Open? (mostly): It's probably a good bet that every Mac user has at one time or another attempted to eject a disc or unmount a drive, only to be told that the item could not be ejected because it's "in use." What part of it, exactly, is in use? The OS never told you. In Mac Gems, I've recommended What's Keeping Me and What's Open, utilities that inform you exactly what file(s) on a volume are preventing it from being unmounted, but Snow Leopard brings a little relief here. First, things will prevent a volume from being ejected. But more important, if something is keeping the disk "busy," the error message will give you a little bit more info about the offending process or application. Geeks like me will still appreciate utilities such as What's Keeping Me and What's Open for the additional information they provide, but many users will be satisfied knowing that quitting iTunes will let them eject their FireWire drive.
That's a good list of less-necessary Gems, but there are numerous other improvements in Snow Leopard that overlap with Gems, including better PDF viewing (both in Preview and within Safari); Address Book syncing with Exchange, Yahoo, and Google contacts; more-informative Time Machine and AirPort menus; an improved Spotlight-results display; new Docks and Stacks features; and a better iCal-event-editing interface. I'm also hoping that Snow Leopard's built-in Exchange support means the end of unopenable winmail.dat files in Mail, rending Letter Opener obsolete.
Did I miss any? If you've got a favorite Mac Gem that you're discovering isn't quite as necessary in Snow Leopard, let me know in the comments.

text: With the documentary , skater-cum-filmmaker Stacy Peralta introduced viewers to the history of the West Coast skateboarding culture and made a huge splash at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival, taking home both the Documentary Directing Award and the Documentary Audience Award. For this follow-up effort, Peralta leaves the land for the sea, focusing his lens on the world of surfing. Narrated by Sean Penn, just as was, Riding Giants attempts to trace the origins of surfing and also explore the growth and progress of surf culture. Among the surfing luminaries who chime in on topics varying from the business of the sport to "the big wave" are Laird Hamilton, Greg Noll, and Jeff Clark. Hoping to find the critical success akin to its predecessor, Riding Giants premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Embryonic Stem-Cell Research
Neurons Grown from Embryonic Stem Cells Restore Function in Paralyzed Rats
For the first time, researchers have enticed transplants of embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons in the spinal cord to connect with muscles and partially restore function in paralyzed animals. The study suggests that similar techniques may be useful for treating such disorders as spinal cord injury, transverse myelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and spinal muscular atrophy. The study was funded in part by the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
The researchers, led by Douglas Kerr, M.D., Ph.D., of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, used a combination of transplanted motor neurons, chemicals capable of overcoming signals that inhibit axon growth, and a nerve growth factor to attract axons to muscles. The report is published in the July 2006 issue of Annals of Neurology.
"This work is a remarkable advance that can help us understand how stem cells might be used to treat injuries and disease and begin to fulfill their great promise. The successful demonstration of functional restoration is proof of the principle and an important step forward. We must remember, however, that we still have a great distance to go," says Elias A. Zerhouni, Director of the National Institutes of Health.
"This study provides a 'recipe' for using stem cells to reconnect the nervous system," says Dr. Kerr. "It raises the notion that we can eventually achieve this in humans, although we have a long way to go."

The World Bank will be able to report on its lending commitments aimed at low-carbon and climate-resilient development in a consistent and transparent manner. This will cover projects financed by the World Bank own resources (IBRD and IDA) as well as a number of external resources, including carbon finance, the Climate Investment Funds, and the Global Environment Facility. The roll out began on July 1, 2012 and applies to newly-approved projects. Retroactive coding for Financial Year 2011 and 2012 activities is underway.
The climate finance tracking system was developed in response to commitments set out in the World Bank Group Strategic Framework for Development and Climate Change in 2008 and in the IDA16 replenishment (pdf). Experience with this system will support global efforts to improve the tracking of climate finance at both the country and international levels. There is already a demand from client countries for assistance to strengthen national systems for climate finance (including monitoring), as part of a broader effort to build institutional readiness for climate change. Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) – which play a key role in mobilizing and leveraging resources for climate action – are in the process of harmonizing their climate finance tracking systems. MDBs have recently finalized a joint approach for mitigation finance reporting and have just released the Joint MDB Report on Mitigation Finance 2011 (pdf). They are engaged in a parallel effort to develop a joint approach for adaptation finance tracking to be disclosed at the 2012 UN Climate Change Conference in Doha (Qatar) at the end of the year.
The climate finance tracking system follows a conservative approach. For example on adaptation, it is designed to avoid the mislabeling of development activities as 'adaptation'. Activities will only be recorded as adaptation if they explicitly include climate adaptation reasoning and directly address vulnerability or impact from climate variability and change. The system tracks only direct climate change co-benefits. For example, financing climate-resilient roads in an area impacted by chronic floods, which could increase in frequency/severity due to climate change, provides adaptation co-benefits. Building a road to increase incomes, which in turn increases the adaptive capacity of the residents, has indirect co-benefits, so it will not get recorded as an adaptation activity.
The climate finance tracking system builds on the internationally-recognized Rio Markers on climate change (pdf) developed by the OECD Development Assistance Committee Secretariat to track aid flows that support climate action. The World Bank system tracks co-benefits at the lowest level of financing information available, even considering individual components of the project, thus adding granularity to the Rio Markers. For example, if only $10m of a $100m power project tackles energy efficiency, then only $10 million will be recorded as having mitigation co-benefits.
To facilitate the identification of climate co-benefits, the World Bank has developed an illustrative typology of activities with adaptation or mitigation co-benefits. The typology is illustrative only: for an activity to be considered as providing adaptation/mitigation co-benefits, it must meet the definition and criteria mentioned above.
Adaptation and mitigation co-benefits are tracked independently. Importantly, the same activity can provide both adaptation and mitigation co-benefits and the financing that supports this activity is counted in full both towards adaptation and mitigation. As a result, the financing for adaptation and mitigation should not be added together to prevent double counting.

Competing Risks of Mortgage Termination: Who Refinances, Who Moves, and Who Defaults?
Why, when, and who terminates their mortgages? The primary reasons for mortgage termination are refinancing, selling of the property, and default. This article is the first to explicitly model these competing risks within a unified conceptual framework and provide a link between theoretical value-maximizing mortgage-termination models and empirical estimation. I find, for instance, that the refinancing risk is highly sensitive to interest-rate changes and other variables capturing the value of the mortgage. On the other hand, the necessity to relocate, either through sale of the property of default, is sensitive to the local economic conditions but largely independent of the value of the mortgage. Furthermore, I explicitly model the spatial distribution of the mortgage-termination risks. This approach captures striking spatial patterns of mortgage termination. It also mitigates, at least partially, one of the biggest obstacles to mortgage termination estimation: omitted variables. Copyright 2001 by Kluwer Academic Publishers

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Twitter, Facebook and various bloggers reach readers by the millions. But how much faith do people put in what they see on the Internet, really?
Not much, apparently.
A national survey of attitudes on the 2012 election conducted last May and released in June included a question about how much trust the 1,000 poll respondents put in various types of media. Just 34 percent said they put "some" or "a great deal" of trust in what they read in online forums, and just 30 percent said the same of social-media websites. Traditional news outlets scored far better, with public TV and radio leading the way (75 percent), and newspapers (71 percent), cable news networks (70 percent) and network news (64 percent) not far behind.
So, companies and politicians stampeding into the blogosphere and onto social-media networks, take note. Social media tools can be powerful. But the public still turns to traditional media for reliable and high-level reporting. For now, they're still our society's reputation-makers.
The August 2012 USC Annenberg/Los Angeles Times poll on Politics and the Press, too, found that the majority of voters who follow current events daily turn to traditional sources, and that traditional news media remain more trusted than new-media alternatives. The Los Angeles Times noted that "the results helped explain an enduring phenomenon, even of this Digital Age presidential race: the candidates' routine willingness to grant interviews to regional television outlets." During the presidential election, Obama and Romney looked to these TV segments as an opportunity to "connect with voters via their favorite, and most trusted, news source."
Consider one compelling example, a television show that most bloggers probably don't tear themselves away from "The Simpsons" to watch on Sundays: CBS News' 60 Minutes. Nobody would argue that this news franchise has the kind of reach it did back in the 1970s and 1980s. So what? It still swings a big bat.
After President Obama focused on new media and small, niche outlets during the 2010 election cycle that resulted in Republicans gaining control of the House, he decided to begin his crucial post-election communications campaign with an appearance on—you guessed it—60 Minutes. Author Ari Berman noted that "this is the gold standard of TV journalism." To turn to an outlet with the reach and gravitas of the longest-running news magazine on the air, he explained to The Christian Science Monitor's Gloria Goodale, made sense—it allowed the president to reach out to the widest swath of the American public.
Consider two other examples of 60 Minutes' influence:
Despite the growing number of specialized venues for news and information, general news outlets still have impact. The best communications strategies integrate both social and traditional media platforms based on the specific goals and the story to tell.
