Executive Summary
The assessment of the Gambia Health Management Information system was done using HMN assessment tool and frame work and it's overall objectives is to map out it's weaknesses and strengths in other to pave a way forward for developing a system that is sensitive and captures all that is required to integrating all data methods and sources.
The assessment which looked at the following six components shall be repeated periodically.
There is an HMIS policy in place but it has failed to capture current HIS issues such as maintenance and there is no adequate system for it's enforcement, therefore scoring the lowest score of 30%. The lack of an HIS strategic plan has also contributed to this very low score.
HIS Institution, Human resources and financing.HIS institution, human resources and financing had an overall low score of 39% which is found to be not adequate at all. The results of such a low score could be attributed to the fact that there is no adequate office space, trained HIS staff and lack of adequate financial and material support for the development of HIS.
HIS Infrastructure.HIS Infrastructure was found to be adequate scoring 67% and this may be due to huge investment by the then PHPNP project.
The overall results for context and resources (45%) indicate that this component requires more and immediate attention. There is an urgent need to provide/allocate enough financial resources to facilitate the development and strengthening HIS.
The summary results of indicators are found to be adequate scoring 66% but it does not capture/cover all the health related MDGs indicators.
Selected indicators.Health status, Mortality was found to be adequate. Risk factors & Health Systems were found to be present but not adequate. This is due to the fact that more attention is concentrated on capturing them by HIS and very little is done on the others.
Data Quality. Overall indicators quality was found to be adequate. Among the seven elements of data quality, Timeliness and Disaggregation were found to be adequate whilst the remaining were found to be present but not adequate.
The summary results on data sources shows that Vital Statistics and Administrative records were found to be not adequate at all.
Data collection methods.The overall performance of all the data collection method is found to be present but not adequate.
Data management scored 37% indicating that it is not adequate at all. The low score is due to lack of skills in terms of capacity and another factor is lack of adequate computer hardware and software.

FNMA.OB vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description
Fannie Mae is a government-sponsored enterprise that was chartered by Congress in 1938 to support liquidity, stability and affordability in the secondary mortgage market, where existing mortgage-related assets are purchased and sold. Our charter does not permit us to originate loans and lend... More
Country: United States

- Friday, May 24, 8:33 AM What's Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) up to? It's snatching profits away from banks as it increasingly purchases loans directly from lenders, cutting out those used to making good money by packaging mortgages into securities. "We don't play this big of a role because we want to," modestly says CEO Tim Mayopoulos. "(We have) no goal relative to market share, except to reduce it," says another spokesman. The lenders (JPM, WFC) seeing profits vanish aren't so sure. 9 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, May 15, 9:36 AM Don't look now but the hedgies are betting on Fannie FNMA.OB +6.6% and Freddie FMCC.OB +7%. WSJ says Paulson & Co. and Perry Capital (among others) are buying preferred shares on the off-chance Washington has a change of heart and decides to recapitalize the companies and sell taxpayers' stake on the open market. With the White House overwhelmingly in favor of winding down the two entities, anyone betting on profiting from a potential recap is "placing a political bet … that faces unimaginably long odds," former White House adviser Jim Parrott tells the Journal. 8 Comments [Financials]
- Thursday, May 9, 8:02 AM Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) pre-tax Q1 income of $8.1B, its largest ever and against $7.6B in Q4, $2.7B a year ago. The company will pay Treasury $59.4B in Q2 after releasing its deferred tax asset to the tune of $50.6B. The release comes about as the company's accountants are convinced Fannie will remain profitable for the foreseeable future. Is Congress really going to shut this machine down? (PR) 4 Comments [Earnings, Financials]
- Wednesday, May 1, 7:34 AM Congressman Mel Watt of North Carolina looks to be the President's choice to replace Ed DeMarco as head of the FHFA. Getting rid of DeMarco has been a popular idea among many in the Administration as he has consistently blocked plans to implement some sort of principal forgiveness program for underwater homeowners. 9 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, April 30, 8:49 AM Having loaded up on the preferred stock of Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB), high-powered investors commence a lobbying blitz to force Congress to abandon liquidation plans and privatize the firms. Sen. Bob Corker calls ownership of the two a "lottery ticket ... I don't give investment advice, but I don't see how these are going to be worth anything down the road." 5 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, April 19, 4:53 PM President Obama is close to naming a replacement for acting FHFA Director Edward DeMarco, who has served in the post since 2009. The administrations has been vetting a short list of candidates including Mel Watt, a Democratic congressman from North Carolina, and Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's, among others. Although there's no leading candidate, a nomination could come as soon as background checks are complete. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, April 15, 9:25 AM Mark Zandi is floated as a leading candidate to replace Ed DeMarco at the FHFA, his main attribute apparently being the relative ease with which he could be confirmed. Given Zandi's poor track record on forecasting the economy in general and housing specifically, a job overseeing Fannie and Freddie would seem a curious choice. Strike that. In D.C., it makes perfect sense. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, April 8, 7:56 AM The preferred stock of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is among the hotter issues of the year after doubling thanks to improved results at the firms. The question before the house is whether the government will allow the finance firms to return to private ownership without zeroing out existing investors. As for the common - FNMA.OB and FMCC.OB - "Total casino," says KBW's Bose George. 5 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, April 2, 8:51 AM Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) reports Q4 net income of $7.6B, bringing full year income to $17.2B - the largest amount in company history. Higher home prices, declining delinquencies, and the settlement with BofA all contributed. The nice result allowed Fannie to cut $11.6B in checks to the Treasury in 2012, bringing total dividend payments to $31.4B against a draw of $116.1B. 2 Comments [Financials]
- Thursday, March 21, 11:11 AM From John Hempton's lips to the market's ears. The "just insane" bidding up of the almost certainly worthless common stock of Fannie and Freddie (FNMA.OB, FMCC.PB) savagely reverses, with both falling more than 50% within minutes. 3 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Thursday, March 21, 10:11 AM Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB +31.5%) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB +26.9%) continue a torrid run, now closing in on quadrupling this week. Buy the stocks for a trade, but the idea there is any value at all in the common when it's likely the preferred may even be worthless is "just insane," says John Hempton (an owner of the preferred). 7 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 20, 4:07 AM Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) could repay the Treasury for their 2008 bailout sooner than initially planned, due to a change in the terms of the rescue, the FHFA says. Previously, the firms had to pay a 10% quarterly dividend even if they lost money, and would even borrow money from the Treasury to do so; now they pay a dividend only if they make a profit. The FHFA's prediction follows news that Fannie could repay up to $61.5B due to an accounting change. 2 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, March 20, 3:56 AM Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) has sued Bank of America (BAC) JPMorgan (JPM), Citigroup (C) and 12 other major banks for losses caused by the manipulation of the Libor rate. Freddie, which invested in mortgage bonds and swaps tied to U.S. dollar Libor, is seeking a whole gamut of damages for what it sees as fraud, antitrust violations and breach of contract. The FHFA has already calculated that Freddie and Fannie Mae lost $3B in total because of the Libor manipulation. 11 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, March 19, 4:28 AM Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) is working on an accounting change that could allow it to repay up to $61.5B of the $88B that it owes to the Treasury. Under the change, Fannie would reclaim tax benefits that were written down after the government took it over in 2008. The return of billions of dollars to the government "could have important repercussions for reform and other housing-finance discussions," says analyst Jim Vogel. 7 Comments
- Monday, March 4, 6:27 PM The FHA says it is working on a plan to merge some of the operations of Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB) and Freddie Mac (FMCC.OB) in a new venture, separate from the two firms, which would operate a secondary mortgage market infrastructure to be used by Fannie and Freddie. The new firm could either be sold or used "as a foundational element of the mortgage market of the future." 4 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, March 4, 2:56 PM The single-family delinquency rate fell to 3.18% in January from 3.29% previously, according to Fannie Mae (FNMA.OB). The serious delinquency rate fell to 3.90, the lowest level since March 2009 and compared to a February 2010 peak of 5.59%. A "normal" delinquency rate is less than 1%, writes Bill McBride. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Financials]

15 Ideas for Keeping the Learning Fun in the Summertime
Imagine your child's teacher sitting you down during conferences and telling you that your kiddo is about to lose 2 months in his reading ability, and 2.6 months of math skills—as scheduled.
That'd be a jagged little pill to swallow.
Let me then, as your new BFF blogger break the news to you: The average kiddo who scampers off to summer break loses 2 months in reading ability and 2.6 months in math skills. Annually. It is scientifically known as Summer Brain Drain.
Research shows it is rampant in our schools. It's a plague we cannot afford to ignore. Here is a little comparison of statistics to chew on; 11 million individuals are infected with strep throat every year, 44 million adults do not read well enough to read a simple story to a child.
This explains why nearly every curriculum, school, and teacher begins the school year with weeks (if not months) of reviewing last year's material.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Studies show that by using that noodle a little bit every summer day doing math and reading can have extraordinary effects. Not only does the average kiddo using this strategy not lose learning—many kids experience a summer knowledge growth spurt!
But there is a catch: Summer learning has to be fun to be most effective. Fear not, super-moms and uber-dads. Here are 15 tips to have fun while learning this summer:
1. Join a summer reading program at your local library.
2. Have a lemonade stand. Real lemonade for extra points. Help your kiddo calculate how much needs to be sold to break even and make a profit. Work a mini-marketing plan.
3. Phonetic hop-scotch. Chalk out an alphabet grid on the pavement or driveway, large enough for hop-scotching. Use pre-made spelling cards, or design your own, and hop them out. Touch a line, or misspell the word and it is the next players turn.
4. Eat your math. Use skittles for counting, Hershey bar for fractions, have a massive bake-out while your kiddo measures counts and then of course subtracts cookies as they are devoured.
5. Tell stories under the stars. Grab a flashlight, a friend, and a really good tale. Then head outside for the evening. Tent optional.
6. Meet the masters in this exciting online art program.
7. Go to the symphony or a musical performance. Read up on the composer and create a podcast with what you learn.
8. Create a Summer Olympics lap-book. This can really cover almost every subject your kids learn when school is "on." How wonderfully sneaky!
9. Learn local history. Call your city or tourist information and set up tours.
10. Make a time capsule. Put in cool stuff that is relevant with today. Include today's newspaper and a letter from you to the future.
11. Go to your farmer's market. There is a world of learning to be had
12. Create your own treasure map. Hide a prize and mark it with an x. If the kids are doing the burying of treasure, just make sure they're not hiding something you really must find. Like your car keys. Or Johnny.
13. Do your own science experiments. Your kids will love Steve Spangler's 365 Simple Science Experiments Book or Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes.
14. Attend the Colorado Chautauqua Association's Theatre-Hikes Colorado, a fun-filled, family-friendly afternoon hike in the woods coupled with a Hansel and Gretel play.
15. Tour de Library. Find out how far can your library card take you? I learned recently that a nearby library district could use my local library card to check out items. Map out area libraries you have not yet visited and make it an outing. Look up their websites for cool free events, kids programs, and if they may have a coffee shop or café as part of their outfit. Don't forget to return the items borrowed, which of course gives you another excuse to visit the library again.

How do you keep learning fun in the summertime?

Welcoming you to Kelz TBK a.k.a. "The Black Kupid" is a 21-year-old rapper and singer from Shoreditch, North London. His music is an amalgamation of jazz and blues filled love/heartbreak melodies, combined with his very own take on hip-hop – An MC by nature, his rhymes are filled with conviction and humour.
A man on a mission, he has a hungering ambition to become a star, but he isn't shy of working for it as he develops, his devotion evident in his lyrics – I would like to say I have the whole package but now I am incomplete / but wait until the new year / a matter of a fact give me a few years / M2 will be the only info that you share / Kelz is the topic at hand…" (On M2Warriors). Since joining M2Music in l2010, Kelz has released several promotional singles and received radio play from Amazing Radio with his track "Breathe".
With DymonRed producing the first track on the EP, M2Warriors, Kelz tells us he's out there chasing his dreams with lyrics like "visions of me sitting on top of these grands now I believe in and telling myself I can". Able to easily shift from hip-hop to pop, Kelz comes hard with his witty punchlines and reveals his sweet side on Like An Angel, a true and heartfelt dedication to his mother, featuring DymonRed and Suzy.
Slick and assuredly dressed, young Kelz is an artist who oozes self-assurance and belief – of which he refers to as his "swag". Growing up in and around Hackney, Kelz is a person familiar with city life, who takes inspiration from the streets and his personal experiences – while all the time keeping that humour and swag we expect from a man whose main ideal is to make people enjoy hip-hop.
Kelz has performed at several venues – most notable performances with collaborator Vince Kidd include Shooting Stars Benefit Launch 2012 at the Corinthia Hotel, supporting Lana Del Rey at Scala in King's Cross, BCM Planet Dance (Spain), Sound Control (Manchester), Under The Bridge (London), O2 Academy Birmingham, 02 ABC 2 Glasgow, YOYO at Notting Hill Arts Club and GOLD DUST vs. This Is Music at the Hoxton Bar & Kitchen (previous guests of which have included Jessie J, Rox and Ellie Goulding).

Fire crews tackle Wilsden blaze
6:35pm Wednesday 6th March 2013 in News By David Knights
Shopping left on an oven hob caught fire this afternoon at a house in Wilsden.
Firefighters were called to the home in Birchlands Grove, off Harden Road, after a postal worker saw smoke.
Watch commander Steve Moorhouse, from Keighley Fire Station, said the shopping was smouldering when crews from Keighley and Shipley arrived.
He said: "The hob had been turned on by mistake, either by a cat or through being knocked by the shopping.
"We had to break through the kitchen door when we got there because the occupant had gone out."
Mr Moorhouse said the kitchen units were slightly damaged and the house suffered smoke damage.

Customers can also configure a Retina system with up to 16GB of RAM and 768GB of flash storage, versus a maximum of 8GB of RAM and 512GB of solid state storage on a standard Pro.
But hey, who are we kidding, the only reason that most people are going to dish over the extra cash for Apple's latest and greatest is the 2880 x 1800 resolution goodness of the Retina display. And I'll go ahead and let you in a little secret: it's a thing of beauty.

The U.S. Senate has passed an update to the nation's FISA laws by a margin of 69-28, which finally brings the 30-year-old standards for electronic surveillance into the 21st century. See the story at FoxNews.com [2].
The new standards that have passed the House and Senate are now being sent on to President Bush for his impending signature. These updated measures will now give the communications companies - that are a necessity in assisting the government - immunity from being sued by individuals for those efforts to conduct surveillance on foreign terrorists planning to wage war against U.S. citizens within our country and against our troops on foreign soil.
I find it interesting that Barack Obama, in earlier attempts at amending the bill, voted for failed efforts to keep out the immunity for our telecommunications companies. But, when the rubber actually hit the road, this turned out to be just another one of the instances of late where his campaign rhetoric over the past year did not serve his new found political needs to move away from his ultra-liberal views and towards the center. It's basically a case of him being fine with engaging in all of the self-serving, left-wing chatter he can spew out to the liberal masses when he needs them, but when it actually comes down to going along with sound and vital national security policy, the actual right thing to do is as plain as day.
It really makes you wonder how much longer it will be until those at 'MoveOn' & Company go all out in their support for Ralph Nader? Obama is clearly aware of the fact that the fringe left is not going to be able to serve him the presidency on a platter - the Democratic nomination was another story. Their seperation anxiety from Obama must certainly be getting intense right now. The question is if they can hold out until November. It is only after he would be elected that he would surely placate them once again.

May is National Arthritis Awareness Month. The Arthritis Foundation sponsors this annual campaign to increase awareness about ways to improve quality of life while living with this chronic health condition.
While there are many forms of arthritis, by far the most common form is osteoarthritis. It occurs as the cartilage that cushions the joints breaks down. According to the Arthritis Foundation, 27 million people in the US have this form of arthritis. Symptoms vary depending on which joints are affected and the severity. The most common symptoms are morning stiffness and pain. The most commonly affected joins are lower back, hips, knees, feet, neck and fingers. Causes of osteoarthritis include being overweight, repetitive overuse or injury, and genetics.
Arthritis can occur at any age but the lion's share of cases is in those over the age of 65. There really is no magic pill that can cure this condition. The treatment is really trial and error lifestyle changes. The pain and stiffness can cause limitations in activities which in turn can lead to discouragement and even depression. But, there is hope and you can live a full life while coping with arthritis.
The number one treatment for osteoarthritis is-you guessed it-exercise. The Arthritis Foundation's theme for this year's campaign is Moving is the Best Medicine. Moving the joints helps to reduce stiffness and strengthen the surrounding muscles. The recommendation is to get at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity every week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity. In addition, strength training at least twice per week, daily stretching and balance activity like tai chi are important to incorporate. Start slowly and work up if you have not been active. Activities to try include water aerobics and yoga.
Personally, I am a big advocate of a holistic approach to managing any chronic health condition. There are so many remedies to try-it takes some time to experiment and find out what works. Below are some notes on options:
While all of these ideas can help to manage the pain of arthritis, there comes a point for many where surgery is the answer. The main criterion in making the decision for surgery is pain and level of functional impairment. If you need this option, waiting too long is not a good idea. Keep in close touch with your health care provider. Living well is the goal.
Be Well on Purpose!

One of the most significant fault lines in Western culture opened up in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when what we now know as the "modern" world separated itself from the classical and medieval world.

Three women play guiding role on road to vocation
"As an altar boy, I experienced a joy and deep peace unlike anything outside of Mass. I knew my life had to be based on nearness to the Eucharist in a consecrated way." – Deacon Andrew Jaspers
Argument club aims to help women grow in faith
It's usually not hard to find an argument. But a constructive and thought-provoking debate tends to be less common.
Eucharistic adoration leads to thoughts of priesthood
"On a whim, I signed up for a weekly hour of eucharistic adoration when I was a senior in high school. It was after a couple months of eucharistic adoration that I met Jesus.
Not too long after that I began to ask questions about my life, and the priesthood was a prospect." – Deacon Andrew Brinkman
Christ is united to us in our suffering
It is often asked, "If there is a God, why does he allow us to suffer?" Suffering, for the most part, is something we do not want.

NFC blows out AFC in Pro Bowl
HONOLULU – A handful of shenanigans and plenty of points — yet still another ho-hum Pro Bowl.
Whether the NFL's all-star game will return next season is a something the league will ponder the next few months after the NFC's 62-35 blowout of the AFC on Sunday.
"It's been an unbelievable week," Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson said, "And the thing was, if you watched us, everybody was competing today and it was really awesome."

Country-wide event fosters safety awareness
ISHPEMING TOWNSHIP -- With such busy lifestyles, Americans have to schedule everything including their free time, and that's exactly what National Night out does. Each first Tuesday or Wednesday in August, local safety enforcement around the country host an evening of fun for their community.
The Ishpeming Township Fire Department held their sixth National Night Out Wednesday night at the Ishpeming Township fire hall.
"It's one time we get to see our local fire department or EMS people, and as neighbors, get to enjoy each other's company," said Lolita Barry, a TRIAD board member.
With a jumpy castle, free fire truck rides, and ambulance demos, the event is safety awareness disguised as a block party.
"It's just so that children themselves can know that they can call on any one of these groups to be helped," Barry said.
"You can't compete with a kid on a fire truck, they love them," said Andy Lusardi, Ishpeming Township Fire Chief.
Each year the Ishpeming Township Fire Department expands on their activities. This year the fire department had a whole new exhibit--fire hose demonstrations--this year's crowd favorite.
Several hundred people attended the event Wednesday evening. While the fire department says it's been their biggest Night Out yet, they hope the event gains more popularity each year.

Dígito Identidad Visual) Kaija, a Finnish mother, tells how her son became a Catholic and joined Opus Dei. People from Congo, India, the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Argentina and Peru also contribute to this documentary. Using previously unseen footage of St Josemaría, the story is told of this "saint of the ordinary" and how his message has inspired people of all walks of life to find meaning in their everyday activities and see them as a way of serving others. Available languages: Spanish, English, French, Italian, Portuguese Duration: 28 min. DVD: The Life of Saint Josemaria Three biographical documentaries and a selection of footage of his preaching. In the last years of Saint Josemaria's life, some of his preaching ("catechesis", as he liked to say) was captured on film. He held get-togethers with people from all walks of life, in several countries, in which he talked exclusively of God, responding to questions from the audience. His tone was uncomplicated and informal, and he always tried to create a friendly atmosphere of a family get-together. These recordings follow the path of his life in the first two documentaries: "A Present from God" (47 minutes) and "The Happiness of Saintliness" (19 minutes). In "Saint Josemaria, Instrument of God" (5 minutes), photos and footage of the period are reviewed in relation to several autobiographical points. In "Preaching" (14 minutes) several examples of his catechesis are included, with the titles "Freedom of the Children", "Poverty and Solidarity", "Understanding Everyone", "Pain is God's Blessing", "The Time to Love is Short", "Talking to God" and "God's Forgives through Confession".

Blanco&White) At a time of serious social crisis, in the middle of the Spanish Civil War, in obvious danger of death, Saint Josemaria, accompanied by a handful of young people, set out on a difficult journey through the Pyrenees so he could carry out his priestly work on the other side of the Spanish battle lines. This documentary visits the places from those days, guided by the memories of those who took part. Available languages: Spanish Duration: 32 min. Copyright © 2010 Beta Films Foundation.

Carbon ahoy! Who should pay to clean up ships, and what they carry?
The U.S. is out to create a clean-air zone around its coastlines, targeting diesel ships that look pretty dirty from shore. The cost will be only a penny per pair of sneakers, the EPA advises. Of course the cost of shoes can sneak up on you — the total is $3.2 billion per year by 2020. Health savings will more than compensate for costs, they say.
The idea of who should pay for carbon in the course of trade is getting a bit hazier, it seems. China only a couple of weeks ago said importers should pay for the carbon costs of goods they buy which are produced in China. The thinking largely has been you-make-it-you-pay-for-the-carbon, but maybe it will become you-bought-it-you-bought-the-carbon. It's all up for grabs as nations talk about what to do once the Kyoto protocol runs out in 2012. At least the U.S. and China are making nice noises at each other as discussions in Germany get under way.
BTW — to be fair that Reuters pic is of a cruise ship's laundry room on fire. Perhaps another issue to debate is how many changes of clothes should be allowed in international waters.
VW on electric cars: "Please, lower your expectations"
Volkswagen's U.S. chief ruffled some entrepreneurial feathers on Thursday when he told a group of business school students at UCLA's Anderson School of Management that it will be 35 years before electric cars make up a significant portion of the world's auto market.
During his prepared remarks, Volkswagen Group of America CEO Stefan Jacoby outlined the German automaker's view that fossil fuels and traditional combustion engines will be with us for many years to come. VW, however, is committed to making them vastly more fuel efficient. The company is also investing heavily in so-called clean diesel technology, which reduces tailpipe emissions of climate-changing greenhouse gases while still giving cars their "fun-to-drive" pep.
What bailout? Automakers lay out green future at L.A. show
The car is king in Southern California, so what better place for stressed out auto executives to blow off some steam and take a break from their considerable recent troubles?
That's exactly what they did this week at the Los Angeles auto show, where many car manufacturers laid out plans for electric, fuel cell and diesel cars that they say are key to reviving the ailing industry.

ARMONK, N.Y. – Adopt-a-Dog will host an open house at its Armonk shelter at 23 Cox Ave. on Saturday for the public to tour its facilities and to meet a potential pet looking for a good home.
Saturday's event, which takes place from noon to 3 p.m., will feature cats, dogs and, in the spirit of the season, "rows and rows of marshmallow peeps," according to a statement.
"People can expect to learn more about our shelter and what we do on a day-to-day basis," kennel manager Kristen Alouisa said. "We have a lot of dogs available for adoption – and some cats, too – and it will be great to get to know members of the community."
The nonprofit dog and cat rescue sanctuary began in 1981 in Connecticut. Now with two shelter sites, the organization prides itself on finding safe, permanent homes for dogs and sometimes cats.
Adopt-A-Dog operates completely from donations. All animals available for adoption are up-to-date on their vaccine shots and are neutered or spayed. While all applicants are welcomed, adoption applications must be done in person.
"Feel free to bring your children, grandparents, neighbors and friends," the organization said in its statement. "But please leave your pets at home for this event as we would like the adoptees to receive all the attention."

Kindred the Family Soul delivers social commentary on new track |
Black Celebrities: Music, Film, and Televsion News |
Sunday, 05 June 2011 18:54 |
Philadelphia husband and wife duo Kindred The Family Soul¬Ýare somewhat of an anomaly in a business that seems to foster fly-by-night trends, single- minded¬Ýartists, one hit wonders and narcissism as a way of life. The down to earth, spiritual, young married duo and parents of six,¬Ýwho are not afraid to flaunt their love and commitment for one another, has managed to steadily build a devoted following with¬Ýtheir unique mix of soulful R&B and hip hop minded grooves, conscious lyrics and refreshingly honest songwriting. On their current single¬Ý"Take A Look Around,"¬ÝKindred give some deep social commentary on the world today. Aja and Fatin get some help from Bilal and BJ the Chicago Kid for this latest song off their upcoming album, Love Has No Recession¬Ý(released June 28,¬Ý2011). ¬ÝThere is a free download of this track available for preview to help promote this album release.You can preview "Take A Look Around" with a free download at¬ÝSoultracks.com. The hit-making duo has played a vital role in the soul music renaissance over the past decade. 'ÄúOur main inspiration comes from the¬Ýcomplexity of our own relationship and the different roles we play in our lives,'Äù shares Aja Graydon, one half of the hit-making¬Ýhusband and wife duo. 'ÄúThe respect we have for one another in our personal lives has strengthened our professional relationship. ¬ÝThrough the challenges of balancing life, love, family and music we continue to grow with one another,'Äù adds Fatin Dantzler,¬ÝKindred'Äôs other half. The Philadelphia based duo'Äôs magnetic chemistry, dynamic showmanship and insightful songwriting¬Ýoften bring about comparisons to such iconic duos as Ashford and Simpson, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and Robert Flack¬Ýand Donny Hathaway. Kindred The Family Soul'Äôs new CD and Shanachie/Purpose Music Group debut (released June 28,¬Ý2011) is a masterpiece of originals that paint stories of love and devotion, the human struggle, redemption, perseverance, social¬Ýconsciousness, economic struggle and family values. 'ÄúI think Love Has No Recession speaks to our evolution as a couple and as¬Ýartists. We have experienced a lot together,'Äù confides Aja. 'ÄúWe have prevailed over hardship, stayed true to our mission and truly¬Ýenjoyed success in a musical landscape that doesn'Äôt exactly reflect what we are about.'Äù Joining the duo on Love Has No Recession¬Ýis an all-star line up that is testament to their respectability among their peers. Featured guests on Kindred'Äôs new CD are Snoop¬ÝDogg, Raheem DeVaughn, Chuck Brown, Bilal, Ursula Rucker and Lady Alma, among others. For Fatin and Aja, the genesis of their music is Philadelphia. 'ÄúThe classic 'ÄòPhilly Sound'Äô is a huge influence,'Äù confesses¬ÝFatin. 'ÄúWe want to add to this legacy by creating quality songs with strong messages and meaning which has always been the¬Ýfoundation of the 'ÄòSound of Philadelphia.'Äô'Äù Aja, who actually grew up in DC, adds 'ÄúArtists like Patti Labelle and Frankie Beverly¬Ýare personal influences and musicians who are huge in D.C. My mother loved the O'ÄôJays and The Spinners and played them in the¬Ýhouse all of the time. Fatin and I are also big hip hop fans so lyrically we strive to tell stories and to 'Äòkeep it real.'Äô'Äù Love Has No Recession features such message charged songs as 'ÄúWe All Will Know'Äù showcasing Raheem DeVaughn,¬Ýwho co-wrote the song with the duo. It talks about the struggles and sacrifices of trying to make it in this world and asks the¬Ýquestion 'Äòwhat will happen when it'Äôs every man for himself?'Äô 'ÄúAs artists, it is important for us to make music that reflects on¬Ýthe times and to take a stance and voice our opinions about real issues,'Äù states Fatin. 'ÄúRaheem is someone we have known from¬Ýthe soul scene for many years and we felt that his brand of conscious soul would be a wonderful addition to the record,'Äù adds Kindred reunites with poet and fellow Philadelphian Ursula Rucker, who appeared on their album debut. 'ÄúAbove Water,'Äù¬Ýis a haunting spoken word piece with striking lyrics that stop you in your tracks. The opening chorus is reminiscent of Donald¬ÝByrd'Äôs ground-breaking 'ÄúCristo Redentor.'Äù Ursula Rucker is featured on part one of the track while the smooth commanding¬Ýbaritone of Coco Brown graces parts two and Rich Medina is highlighted on part three. Love Has No Recession also features the¬Ýcomposition 'ÄúTake A Look Around,'Äù featuring Bilal, BJ the Chicago Kid and the voice of Dr. King. While it is easy to get swept¬Ýup in the song'Äôs hot groove it is just as easy to relate to the powerful lyrics about financial, social, racial, and personal struggles in¬Ýthe world. 'ÄúLove Has No Recession deals with where we are in our lives and careers. It says that while we are secure with each¬Ýother we are uncertain about the world around us,'Äù says Aja. Just as the album title asserts, there is no shortage of the potent brew of love songs Kindred The Family Soul is known for. Their¬Ýsong, 'ÄúMagic Happens,'Äù has all the makings of a classic R&B love song bound to stand the test of time. It is the album'Äôs first¬Ýsingle at radio. 'ÄúSOS (Sense of Security)'Äù and the sultry ballad 'ÄúSticking with You'Äù (written by Aja with Steve Mckie) are songs¬Ýless about new love and more about love that has matured but that still needs communication, reassurance and nurturing. Another¬Ýgrown and sexy song is 'Äú2 Words,'Äù all about what happens when the fight is over. Other highlights on Love Has No Recession include the ultra slick feel good love anthem 'ÄúYou Got Love'Äù featuring Snoop¬ÝDogg, who also appears in the video for the song. Fatin says 'ÄúWe'Äôve been a fan of Kindred The Family Soul also team up with DC royalty, the godfather of go-go, Chuck Brown, for the song 'ÄúGoing to¬Ýthe Go-Go.'Äù 'ÄúIt was a dream come true for us to work with such a legend and to make something that feels so fresh and new at the¬Ýsame time,'Äù releases Fatin about collaborating with Chuck Brown. Part of the allure of Kindred The Family Soul has been their honest and down to earth delivery of both themselves and their¬Ýmusic. 'ÄúIt has always been important to us to be ourselves and not to invent an image. We learned early on that being honest¬Ýabout our lives resonated with people,'Äù shares Aja. Fatin adds, 'ÄúIt'Äôs about putting out the best of yourself and all about the energy¬Ýyou give to the world. It'Äôs a Karma thing.'Äù To many, Kindred the Family Soul seems like they have it all 'Äì a great career, a solid¬Ýmarriage, six beautiful children. How do they make it all work? 'ÄúWe have a strong family support system 'Äì thankfully. People¬Ýhave been there for us and our children to make it¬Ýsomewhat easier but it'Äôs just work that has to get done and we do our best to make it happen!'Äù says Fatin. Both Aja Graydon and¬ÝFatin Dantzler were drawn to music at an early age. 'ÄùSince I was eight, I have known that I wanted to be a singer,'Äù states Aja,¬Ýwho formed Kindred The Family Soul with her husband in the late 90s.

Watch this: Hot Wheels loop-de-loop recreated in real life
A pair of Team Hot Wheels drivers has set a Guinness World Record for racing two vehicles through a six-story double vertical loop at the same time. Tanner Foust and Greg Tracy performed the loop-de-loop on Saturday in a life-sized adaptation of the Hot Wheels Double Dare Snare track. While the massive track might not be quite as insane as the toy it's based upon, it's pretty heart-stopping stuff to see a car upside-down six stories off the ground. Enjoy!

Glenn Morris Field House
On April 22, 2011, the former South College Field House was renamed the Glenn Morris Field House, after CSU athlete and Olympian Glenn Morris. Earning the title "World's Greatest Athlete," Morris won a gold medal in the decathlon in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, topping his own world record with 7,990 points that would stand for 14 years. He also played a short stint in the NFL and showed off his acting talents as Tarzan in Tarzan's Revenge (1938). Prior to the opening of Moby Arena in 1968, the Rams' basketball team played in the Field House. The venue contains three main wings: the south area, which includes the indoor track; the middle area, which houses offices and locker rooms; and the north area, which is where the basketball team formerly played and now is used for indoor court sports. During the early 1990s, movie producers used the Field House to film a scene from A League of Their Own (1992), starring Geena Davis and Tom Hanks. The script included a switch-hitting slugger named Marla Hooch (Megan Cavanagh), who in the movie hailed from Fort Collins. |

Did you know you can seal any plastic bag without an expensive sealer?
Simply fold a piece of aluminum foil over the edge of the bag that you want to seal. Then run a hot iron over the edge (making sure the aluminum foil is covering BOTH sides where you are running the iron). It will seal the bag, and you can keep packages fresher longer!
Of course, this tip is for you only if you actually own an iron, I know. But it gives some of us an extra excuse to dust the iron off ;)

How can I be sure that my freelancer is legit?
I have people giving quotes, but I'm not exactly sure if they're legit. I asked that my project be for freelancers in the U.S. and for a specific budget. I have people from all over the world, and some are quoting well above what I stated. Are these scams? How do I know if they're legit? What assurances do I get from Guru that I won't be swindled?
(comments are locked)
You can look at their profile and the jobs that they have completed. Read the feedback that's left. Many freelancers use boilermaker proposals. What they do is search using a keyword. You may have that keyword in the title of your project. They then submit a pre done proposal not reading your requirements or any description of your project. That's how you get people all over the world submitting proposals when you require just people in the U.S. You can tell boiler made proposals from proposals from people who actually read your description. They address what you need. They specifically tell you what they will do and how they will do it. It's sort of like a personal proposal then one made from a form letter. You will also get proposals way above your budget, and proposals as low as possible. The low bids can be from people really desperate for work, to get a few jobs completed so they can astablish themselves here on Guru. Other low ballers just don't value their work and the work you get from them can be shoddy. The high bidders may not be high, but your budget, for what you want may be too low. Or they may provide you with something above and beyond what any of the others would be able to do. Or they may have seen something, or know something that needs to be done that you haven't addressed and will cost you more in the future. So, read the proposals, Look at the profiles of the freelancers that you have weeded out. Contact them, and talk to them to get a feel for what they will do. Don't approve SafePay payments unless you are satisfied with the completed work. If not, you can always file a dispute with Guru. Even through there are people on here who will swindle you, or who aren't legit, there are many more that are truly professional.

Finding (and keeping) a freelance illustrator It's like hunting for one exotic bird in a jungle full of exotic birds… Which one is real and which one is wearing borrowed plumage? (Am I stretching a metaphor too far?) The Finding: There are freelancing sites galore that showcase thousands of illustrators and prices that range from very low to very high…but how do you choose one that is right for you? Look at their portfolio This is the best way to get a feel for their creativity. Ask yourself, does this portfolio match my project? Is it professional? Is it complete? DO I LIKE IT? You don't have to be an artist yourself to spot work that is well done and work that is sloppy. What is 'sloppy work'? Some styles are meant to look a little bit (or quite a bit) random, sketchy or alternative. The point to look out for is consistency. If you see areas in a picture where the style is not consistent or seems out of place, take it as a warning sign. Look at their feedback Most freelancing sites have feedback and you can find out a lot about a freelancer by reading what other employers have written. If there are consistent negative reviews, then you need to be wary and possibly look somewhere else. If there is, however, just one or two negative reviews and the rest are positive, read that review carefully. Read the freelancers reply to the negative review. That will show you a lot about them. Sometimes, I'm sorry to say, we freelancers come across an employer who is just 'difficult' and nothing we do pleases them. Make Contact Once you have found an illustrator who has a style you like it is now time to contact them. Tell them you are interested hiring and ask them if they are available for (insert project description here). Their speed of reply tells a lot about how quickly they will respond to you in the future. If they do not respond within a day and a half, they are either busy with other projects, or they are not good communicators. While you are looking for an illustrator, not a writer, if their reply is carefully written and clear, then that indicates that they took time to think about your questions and will take good care of your project. But if their reply has numerous spelling mistakes and no punctuation or is written in a careless manner, it may be a warning sign. Before you start a project make sure you and your freelancer have agreed on these main points:
What Price? So, you have a tight budget. In this unstable economy, it's easy to settle for the freelancer who bids the lowest. This is a mistake that many honest employers make. "Ah HA!" You cry, "You are biased! You just want to be paid more!" and you are absolutely right. I don't want to work for the absolute minimum wage. No one does. When I am contacted by an employer who really wants to work with me but can only pay the bare minimum I SOMETIMES agree to do so. I use my simplest style, and make something for him that is quick and good. But when they ask for another one, I usually decline to do so. Trying hard to bring the price down to the minimum may work some times, but it won't inspire your freelancer to new heights of creativity on your behalf. A freelancer who is willing to work for the lowest price is probably working on more than 10 projects at once to make up for it. A drop in quality is bound to occur. Pay your illustrator well, and they will be grateful and try their hardest to make your project a stand-out success. The Keeping: If you have found an illustrator that is thorough, professional and good at communication, you have found your exotic bird! So how do you keep them flying away?

What Eliason achieves in color, designer Danielle Everine
does with texture. From inconspicuous Renaissance sensibilities like
fabrics resembling lamellar and brigandine to vests made of wood and
imbricated scales, a vast array of materials serve as playground for
the designer's imagination. Colors and patterns together kindle a
polished bronze luster in the models' clothes as they move through the
room. The more daring designs convey callbacks to the warriors of Olde
Europe, of Sixteenth Century palace guards and their squires, while the
subtler outfits combine the accepted median with the mildly bizarre in
an overall look that wouldn't seem at all out of place at a fashionable
party or club, despite its underlying darkwave sensibilities.

Former Mariners left-hander Erik Bedard might have been a bit distracted during his Tuesday start against the Baltimore Orioles.
Adding another bizarre twist to the Boston Red Sox' September collapse, Bedard was reportedly served with papers in a child-support dispute with his ex-girlfriend just hours before giving up five hits and four runs in 2.2 innings.
Only one of the runs was earned and Bedard took a no-decision, but the Red Sox lost and dropped to 5-15 in September. They remained just two games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League wild card race.

Does anyone have any experiences to share related to promotional or advertising tactics, what has worked and what hasn't?
The SEO-awareness of Shop-Script is one of the main reasons we had for selecting it. We're still in the process of customizing it and loading our catalog, but once we have something up and running we'll also check out the newsletter capabilities. Right now we use a service to mail our newsletter, and we generally see a bump in business so it seems our customers like what we're doing.
We also have an ad campaign through Project Wonderful, which seems to produce fairly good results. Such as, when we neglect it for a few days and get outbid, our orders fall off. When we pump our ads onto a bunch of new sites, we get some orders.
We also use Google AdWords, but that doesn't seem as effective. Feels like a "gotta do it," though.
What kind of metrics do you watch? How do you decide what to stick with, and what to drop?
Alex is right, social bookmarking, Facebook fanpage and twitter are really helpful for this purpose
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) target paid listings. In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a website web presence.
Search engine marketing, or SEM, is a form of Internet marketing that seeks to promote websites by increasing their visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs) through the use of search engine optimization, paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion.[
I just finished adding a "Like" button to my pages, and now I look at the WebAsyst blog and what do I see? FB integration in the new update! (facepalm)
I've been tweaking the templates a lot lately to make my site's content more available to search spiders. In particular, I've been working on getting the category pages to be meatier, because when they're nothing but stepping stones with no real content of their own the spiders sometimes lose interest and don't reach the product screens or other end-of-the-line content. So far it seems to be working, although the t-shirt search space is so competitive it's nearly impossible to rank for the broad keywords.
I see SEM as a rather broad term. It's everything that can be done to utilize the technology of search engines with the goal of promoting a web site and increasing its traffic, its "stickiness," and, in the case of sites that promote a business (or are a business), increase profits. SEO, therefore, would be a subset of SEM.
SEO is the most effective in generating web traffic and there are now few marketers that used SEO to get successful and be a good marketer. Sometimes SEO can help you find some online job opportunity.
alex32311 you forget for youtube profile, twitter and other useful things?
I prefer to do SEO, it is along process but its traffic has better conversion rate than other paid advertisements.
Can I suggest that you check out IBusness Promoter (IBP) you will not regret using this software. Guarantees google first page, use adwords. I would probably expect you are using Alexa for Web Information and monitoring (free). I can only tell you what I have experienced from using this software, no ppc needed yet, not using facebook or twitter. My worldwide traffic ranking from Alexa was over 7,000,000 now down to 364k in 4 months, dropping daily. I will eventually add facebook and twitter, but I think the priority is sorting your SEO. I would say that I am in the novice group in terms of understanding even WebAsyst ShopScript, which is evident on some of my posts. I would suggest it is worth a look!
Web site promotion is simply the use of following options :
SEO unique and appropriate keywords
Link building for better PR and Google strength
Social media attachment
Email marketing
Forum Posting
I think it will help to get web site promotion.
http://www.increasr.com is a free service, and it has quite a few advantages over twiends in that it's really easy to use, and gets fast results, sometimes in a matter of a few minutes.
SEO technique is really the great to promote website indirectly. Its main target to grow the visitors of the website. The number of tricks are under SEO such as link building, link campaign, reciprocal link exchange, comment posting, live page creation, directory submission and blog postings etc. You can easily promote your website using these tricks. Thanks.

As the name suggest it is a method to optimize the search engine to improve your rank.
SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry
Classified ads are also a good way to capture traffic.
if you are an online marketer you must see all the possibilities to promote your website... educate yourself and test it. it's a never ending research and analysis...
For SEO Google will consider at first on page seo because on page seo is more valuable than off page seo. 80% on page works for optimizing a website. I also appreciate white hat Method for it. Thanks!

About this study
New report on findings from second wave of interviews now available.
Understanding Society is the world's largest longitudinal social science study, interviewing around 100,000 respondents each year. Launched in 2009, it's already delivering high-quality, world-leading data on the social and economic circumstances of households from across the UK. We interview respondents each year, creating a rich record of how people's lives, behaviours and attitudes change over time: following teenagers through their education, into the workplace and family life; understanding how families respond to unemployment; shedding light on how our sense of community - local, regional and national - responds to the challenges of globalisation and devolution.
Understanding Society is pioneering in its interdisciplinary focus and methodological approach. The study has multiple research objectives, collecting information on topics from illicit and risky behaviours to social, political and religious participation; measures of respondents' cognitive ability to their environmental attitudes and behaviours. In addition a significant sub-sample also provide us with physical measures of their health and many also consent to provide us with access to their administrative health, education and economic records. This allows researchers to understand in unprecedented detail how different aspects of an individual's life impacts on the others.
Understanding Society is arguably one of the most technically demanding social science studies in the world today. NatCen is proud to have been trusted to deliver the study.
Potential policy impact
Understanding Society is already making a significant contribution to the national debate. Its early findings have been featured in national and international media, have been pored over by academic researchers and provide a rich set of data about how the UK is now and how previous policy interventions have impacted on our lives.
A nationally representative sample of 40,000 households was selected in 2009. Interviewers now contact each of these households every year and interview all members of the household. Adults are interviewed either face-to-face or over the phone using Computer Assisted Interviewing (CAI). Respondents aged 10-15 fill in a paper self-completion questionnaire.
Data are collected in 'waves', each lasting two years. The waves overlap so that respondents are interviewed annually. Before a wave is launched, methods of data collection, questions and experiments are conducted on the Innovation Panel, a sub-sample of the overall Understanding Society sample.

- Thursday, June 20, 7:44 AM Emerging markets continue to crack as the $3.9T of cash flowing into them in the past 4 years reverses thanks to both domestic issues and the "beginning of the end of easy money." "These are pre-quake tremors: something big is coming," says Stephen Jen. "There's tremendous deceleration in emerging markets. You may see crisis-like price actions without having a crisis." EEM -2% premarket, and off 13% YTD vs. the S&P's 15% advance. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, June 18, 9:45 AM MSCI's reclassification of Greece to emerging market is a yawner as far as ETFs go, writes Dennis Hudachek, as the country's presence in the EFA is less than 0.10%. With Coca-Cola Hellenic (CCHBF.PK) no longer part of the MSCI Greek Index, the country's addition to the EEM will be of minimal effect. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, June 18, 8:54 AM "The biggest contrarian play in the market today is assets linked to China (FXI, CAF)," says Michael Hartnett, summarizing BAML's latest Fund Manager Survey, which shows money flowing out of commodities (DBC) and emerging markets (EEM, DEM, VWO). Where's the money going? The eurozone and the U.S. Where it's not going is fixed-income (AGG, BND) - 50% of managers say they're now underweight bonds as opposed to 38% last month. Comment!
- Tuesday, June 11, 9:18 AM The EEM slides 1.9% and the VWO -1.8% premarket amid panicky selling overnight in emerging markets. The sector treaded water for most of the year, but began a steep turn downward about one month ago, and is now underperforming the S&P by about 2,400 basis points YTD. There's no premarket action in the DEM, but it's tracking the other 2 popular emerging market ETF plays. 3 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Tuesday, June 11, 5:45 AM The rout in emerging markets has continued today, with the South African rand (EZA) sliding 1.6% to 10.35 to the dollar, the yield on 10-year government bonds jumping 27.5 bps to 8.17%, and the JSE Top 40 sinking 1.8%. Meanwhile, Thai shares lost 4.5%, Indonesia 3.9% and the Philippines 4.6%. (See rupee hits record lows) Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Monday, May 20, 9:47 AM UBS' 5 "suspected" asset bubbles: 1) Risk-free rates - specifically Treasurys (TLT), Bunds (BUND, BUNL), JGBs (JGBL, JGBT, JGBD, JGBS) 2) Credit (HYG, JNK) 3) Real estate in Asia (WPS) 4) Certain EM equity markets (EIDO, IDXJ, EPHE, THD, EWW) 5) Australian banks (WBK, NABZY.PK, ANZBY.PK, CMWAY.PK). Comment!
- Friday, May 17, 9:26 AM Thai stocks (THD) rise 0.62%, helped by 7% gains for Shin Corp. (SHNZY.PK) and Minor International (MNILF.OB) which will both be added to the MSCI Emerging Markets (EEM) index. Elsewhere in the region, stocks in Indonesia (IDX) rise 1.32%, continuing to defy analysts' predictions (I, II) of a steep sell-off, and post-midterm election profit-taking continues in the Philippines (EPHE), where stocks fall 0.42%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 14, 10:42 AM "Contrarians should start buying emerging markets (EEM, DEM, VWO) and think about global energy (XLE) and material companies (XLB) and commodities (DBC)," says BAML's John Bilton, noting a "marked uptick" in concern about China (FXI, CAF) in his firm's latest fund manger survey. One-in-four now consider a Chinese hard landing as the biggest risk to their investment. Where respondents are not fearful? Japan (EWJ, DXJ). (previous) 4 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
- Tuesday, May 14, 8:59 AM GMO's 7-year asset allocation model for U.S. stocks (VTI) is now predicting negative returns, says James Montier, presenting at the London Value Conference, and telling the audience GMO is now 50% in cash. Liking Europe (VGK, EZU, FEZ) a year ago, the big run has GMO less excited now. The best value could be emerging markets (EEM, DEM, VWO), but China's property bubble has GMO allocating less to EM than its models suggest. 14 Comments [Global & FX]

- Tuesday, April 16, 11:00 AM BAML's fund manager survey shows a slide in exuberance with just 49% of respondents expecting a stronger global economy in the next year - a 12 point drop from last month. Particularly noteworthy is the 30-point, 2-month decline in emerging market (EEM. DEM, VWO) confidence - at the lowest level in 2 years and with a small majority now underweight. 1 Comment
- Monday, April 8, 3:17 PM VelocityShares launches 3 emerging market ETFs comprised exclusively of depository receipts (DRs) listed in developed countries. The funds cover broad Emerging Market DRs (EMDR), Emerging Asia DRs (ASDR) and Russian DRs (RUDR). By sticking to DRs, the 3 new funds are far more concentrated in their holdings than existing ETFs in the space (example, EMDR has 305 holdings vs. 1,280 for IEMG). The 0.65% charged by the funds means they're generally pricey relative to established competitors like IEMG/VWO (0.18%), EEM (0.66%), SCHE (0.15%), GMF (0.59%), RSX (0.62%) and ERUS (0.60%). Comment!

Every single one of the top 7 single-country components of the MSCI EM Index (EEM) is down YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]

- Friday, March 22, 4:29 AM President Obama's historic visit to Israel (which continues through today) appears to have sparked Israeli markets, in the midst of a global sell-off. iShares MSCI Israel (EIS) is +1.03% over the recent 5-day period, with global counterparts trailing behind over the same period: SPY -1.51%, EFA -1.51%, ACWI -1.62%, EEM -3.14%.

- Tuesday, March 19, 11:01 AM More on the BAML survey: Just 14% of respondents expect the Chinese economy to be stronger a year from now, representing "one of the sharpest falls in this reading in the survey's history." The thinking is behind a shift out of emerging equity markets (EEM. DEM, VWO) and into developed - notably the U.S. and Japan. It also coincides with a sharp correction in Chinese stocks (FXI, CAF) over the last month. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
