Richard Towers Seriously Injured.
Richard Towers of the flowing auburn locks and one-time member of the Exeter Chess Club, returned to active chess at the Paignton Congress, after an absence from the scene of over a decade. He was a strong club player, in the 150 – 160 grading range, playing regularly for both Exeter and Devon.
However, on Wednesday evening, he was walking home from his workplace on the Marsh Barton Industrial Estate in the city, when he was knocked down and received serious head injuries. He is now in Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, under sedation and unconscious.
Even now, 5 days after the accident, Police are still trying to trace any relatives he may have had. Anyone who has further information in this direction, is asked to contact the police in Exeter.
Meanwhile, his friends and acquaintances wish him well in his fight for recovery.
Thursday 23rd Feb. Exeter & East Devon's local paper, the Express & Echo, featured the accident on their front page, and included the above picture.
Apparently, a sister (next of kin) has been traced and informed.
Devon captain, Brian Hewson, reports as follows: "I phoned Derriford (Pencarrow Ward) today (Thurs.) Richard has had an operation on his leg that went ok. He won't be able to recognise people at the moment according to the ward nurse. I am hoping to now visit on Monday, depending on what they say then."

San Diego State didn't quit. The Aztecs didn't win, either.
After rallying from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the score against No. 15 Fresno State, the Aztecs had a chance to get the victory in the closing seconds. However, Seamus McMorrow's 37-yard field-goal attempt barely got off the ground and was blocked by Marcel Jensen.
"The kick was low," San Diego State coach Rocky Long said. "It shouldn't have been blocked. If he had gotten the ball up, it wouldn't have been blocked. (But) I don't know if it would have gone through."
The Bulldogs (7-0, 4-0 Mountain West) then went on to a 35-28 victory in overtime.
The Aztecs looked finished when falling behind 28-14 on Ejiro Ederaine's 78-yard fumble recovery with 10:11 remaining.
"I would bet 95 percent of the teams in the country would fold at that point," said Long, who didn't allow his players to comment after the game. "Not only did we not fold, we came back and had a legitimate chance to win the game."
Marteze Waller's 1-yard touchdown run on Fresno State's first possession in overtime put the Bulldogs ahead. Fresno State held on for the win when Quinn Kaehler's fourth-down pass to Dylan Denso was knocked away by Derron Smith.
Derek Carr finished 35 of 57 for 298 yards passing and two touchdowns — both in the second half — for the Bulldogs.
Carr said the Aztecs' play had much to do with his subpar night.
"You got to give so much credit to their team and coaches," Carr said. "They came out and were very emotional and physical."
San Diego State (3-4, 2-1) rallied when Aaron Boesch scored on a 1-yard run with 9:37 to go. Tim Vizzi recovered the ensuing onside kick and Chad Young's 27-yard scoring run tied it at 28-all with 7 minutes remaining.
The Aztecs quickly got the ball back when Fresno State went three-and-out. SDSU converted at the Fresno State 27-yard line on fourth down with 47 seconds left on Adam Muema's three-yard run. The Aztecs advanced the ball to the 20 before McMorrow came on for the potential game-winning kick.
The Bulldogs earlier extended their lead with a key defensive play. With San Diego State trailing 21-14, Kaehler completed a pass to Ezell Ruffin to the Fresno State 21-yard line. However, Jonathan Norton forced a fumble and Ederaine returned it to extend the lead to 14 points.
The call of the field was upheld after a long review.
"I think everybody out there thought it was a dead ball, including them," Long said.
Ruffin finished with 10 catches for 181 yards, both are career highs.
Carr got off to a slow start, missing 11 of his first 15 pass attempts. Then, as he lined up split to the left side as wide receiver Isaiah Burse took a direct snap and scored on a 10-yard run to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead with 8:40 to go in the first quarter.
Muema scored twice to put the Aztecs ahead. His 10-yard TD run tied the score with 8:43 remaining in the second quarter, and the go-ahead score came on a 1-yard run with 6½ minutes to go in the third.
Davante Adams tied the score on an 11-yard scoring reception about 4 minutes later. His 16-yard reception put the Bulldogs ahead 21-14 with 12½ minutes left in the fourth.
Carr struggled in the first half, completing 15 of 30 passes for 98 yards and no touchdowns. Thanks to his rough half, San Diego State outgained Fresno State over the first 30 minutes, 233-111. The Aztecs had more yards rushing (50-13), yards passing (183-98) and first downs (11-8).
"I thought until the fourth quarter the defense played them pretty good," Long said.
Kaehler finished 21 for 39 for 337 yards and no TDs.

The Hawks are discovering that strong defense makes winning possible, even against quality opponents, after Al Horford's season-ending injury.
Kyle Korver scored 20 points, including four free throws in the final 16 seconds, and Atlanta fought off Houston's late comeback to beat the Rockets 83-80 on Friday night.
Paul Millsap also had 20 points for Atlanta, which earned its second straight impressive home win following a victory over Indiana on Wednesday night. The two victories were important following a three-game losing streak and Horford's torn right pectoral muscle in late December.
"It's a real good win for us because it really shows we played some good teams and we actually played some good defense," Millsap said. "It started with the defense and if we continue to keep that up, we'll be fine."
James Harden led the Rockets with 25 points. Dwight Howard had 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Houston coach Kevin McHale said his players "were just stuck in the mud offensively."
Aaron Brooks had 13 points, including a trio of 3-pointers, and Jeremy Lin added 11 for Houston.
"I think they took the game in the second half with how hard they played on defense," Lin said.
The Hawks overcame Houston's 11-0 run to start the game. The Rockets then battled back from an eight-point deficit with another 11-0 run to regain the lead at 76-73. Korver's 3-pointer tied the game. Following a basket by Harden, DeMarre Carroll's 3-pointer gave Atlanta a 79-78 lead. The Hawks didn't trail again.
"I think the group is really starting to trust each other defensively," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "The competitiveness that they're putting out there, it starts on the defensive end of the court. ... It's just good to see that trust being built up."
The strong defensive effort came against one of the highest-scoring teams in the NBA. Entering the game, the Rockets ranked third in the league with their average of 105.8 points.
Harden, who had seven assists and five turnovers, was unable to extend his streak of three straight games with at least 37 points.
"Guys just couldn't get into a rhythm," he said. "Guys were just sluggish tonight, including myself."
It was a disappointing start to Houston's four-game road trip.
"We talked about it before the game," Harden said. "We just came out flat."
With Atlanta leading 79-78, Korver made two free throws to push Atlanta's lead to three points. Following a timeout, Harden drove toward the basket and passed to Lin, whose foot was on the 3-point line as he sank a jumper with 6.5 seconds left, cutting the Hawks' lead to 81-80.
The Rockets quickly fouled Korver, who made both free throws. Houston couldn't get off an attempt at a last-second 3.
The Hawks matched their season low for first-half points but trailed only 41-39 at the break.
Official reviews confirmed Atlanta's first basket and last shot from the field in the half came after the clock expired. Millsap's layup, which initially was approved for a 2-all tie, was disallowed when the review showed it came after the 24-second clock expired. Jeff Teague's layup at the end of the half, which would have tied the game, came after time expired.
Korver made 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions midway through the third period for the first tie at 57-all. Millsap's driving basket gave Atlanta its first lead at 61-59, and the Hawks stretched the lead to 73-65 with 8:32 remaining.
Mistakes by the Hawks, including a 24-second violation, a missed layup by Pero Antic and a turnover by Millsap, helped the Rockets close the gap. Brooks' 3-pointer cut Atlanta's lead to 73-72.
Harden made two of three free throws with 3:50 remaining to give Houston its first lead of the period at 74-73.
Rockets forward Chandler Parsons missed his second straight game with a sore right knee. Ronnie Brewer was the fill-in starter.
Korver extended his NBA record of consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer to 106 when he made his first of four 3s with 9:03 left in the first half.
NOTES: NBA great Julius Erving had a front-row seat. ... Howard, an Atlanta native, purchased 35 tickets for the game. ... The Hawks' 10 first-quarter points set a season low for any quarter and was the low allowed by the Rockets in any quarter. ... Houston C Omer Asik (right thigh, knee) missed his 18th straight game. ... F Greg Smith (sprained right knee) returned and had four points after missing the Rockets' previous game.

Two of Pluto's moons need naming, and scientists are asking for your help.
The moons are fairly recent discoveries, which is why they haven't been given official names yet. The one currently known as P4 was discovered in the summer of 2011. The one currently designated as P5 was discovered in the summer of 2012.
Space discovery tradition holds that the person who finds a new object in space has 10 years to suggest a name for it. But not just any old name will do — the International Astronomical Union has rules for these things. The proposed name should be 16 characters or less in length, only a single word, pronounceable (so no elaborate set of initials), non-offensive, and shouldn't sound too much like the name of another minor planet or natural planetary satellite.
PHOTOS: Awesome images from space
By this convention, the naming of P4 and P5 falls to Mark Showalter, a senior research scientist at the SETI Institute who led one of the teams that found the two moons. Showalter has already had some experience finding and naming moons — he discovered and named Pan, the innermost moon of Saturn, and two moons of Uranus — Mab and Cupid.
But this time, he decided to open the naming experience to the public. He created a website called Pluto Rocks, where people can vote on a new name for the moons.
Unfortunately, the naming field is not wide open. Pluto has three other named moons — Charon, Hydra and Nix — all pulled from Greek mythology and all related to Hades and the underworld. So Showalter has selected 12 potential names and is asking people to vote on their favorite.
The voting started on Monday and will end at noon EST on Feb. 25. As of this writing, Styx (as in the river) is in the lead with 8,000 and Cerberus (the three-headed dog who guards the gates of the underworld) is in second.
Showalter is willing to consider additional names, however, and there is a place on the site for a write-in ballot.
But Batman and Robin, for instance, won't work.

(Reuters) - Entropic Communications Inc, which designs chipsets for video and broadband multimedia applications, cut its outlook for the first quarter as a U.S. pay-TV service provider delayed orders for set-top boxes.
Shares of the company were down more than 8 percent at $4.26 in morning trading on Monday.
Entropic's chips are used in set-top boxes made by network gear makers such as Cisco Systems Inc and Motorola Solutions Inc. Service providers including Verizon Communications Inc, DirecTV and Time Warner Cable Inc deploy these set-top boxes.
Entropic said the delay in orders were related to high-definition digital terminal adapters (HD-DTA) set-top boxes, which enable service providers to deliver HD content to their basic subscribers.
Benchmark Co said it believes the service provider delaying set-top box orders is Comcast Corp.
"Because of the delayed rollout of these boxes to basic cable subscribers, it will take a few quarters for HD-DTA set-top box suppliers to burn through Entropic inventory," the brokerage said.
Entropic now expects first-quarter revenue of $74 million to $76 million, down from its previous range of $79 million to $81 million.
It expects a profit of up to 1 cent per share, excluding items, compared with its previous forecast of 2 cents per share.
The company expects to release first-quarter results on or around April 30.

A breach in the Montegut marsh management levee created by Hurricane Isaac poses a hazard to boaters.
A breach in the Montegut marsh management levee created by Hurricane Isaac poses a hazard to boaters. And as hunting season gets underway, Wildlife and Fisheries officials are asking people to stay away.
The storm's tidal force destroyed one of the levee's water-control structures, a type of gate that helps control salt water flowing through the Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area. The structure was washed away, leaving a 50-foot gap in the levee.
The structure, just south of Montegut on the north side of Wonder Lake, is the first of two water-control structures boaters will see when traveling east from the Humble Canal. The Montegut marsh management area usually divides the wildlife management area, and to get to the other side boaters would have to pull their craft over the top of the levee.
The Montegut marsh management unit is a limited access area, and boats with internal combustion engines are not allowed there between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31.
Shane Granier with the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said the breach has created a "very easy direct boat access for the public" to cross the levee, which normally divides the wildlife management area. But he warned that the structure is not gone. It is still underwater near the breach and could pose a navigation hazard to boaters attempting to cross the breach in the levee.
"It's kind of floating down there, and it could be a couple of feet under the surface or it could be 10 feet," Granier said.
There's also a hazardous current going through the cut that could cause problems for boaters.
"The chance is a lot higher of someone flipping their boat or getting hurt," Granier said.
He said Wildlife and Fisheries officials will be posting signs at the breach warning boaters to keep out.
Local repair work is beginning to fill in the levee breach, according to Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre.
Material will be hauled in over a newly built bridge over the levee's remaining water control structure to help fill the breach.
The repairs, which will be done with in-house workers and equipment, will cost up to $500,000, Dupre said. He expects the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help with the cost.

Freemasonry: Official Statement of the Church of Greece (1933)
"It is clear from the following statement that Orthodox Christians must disavow the Masonic movement and resign from it if they have joined it in ignorance of its goals. Pike, in his Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry tells us that "Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion; and its teachings are instruction in religion." (p. 213) "Masonry, around whose altars the Christian, the Hebrew, the Moslem, the Brahim, the followers of Confucius and Zoroaster, can assemble as brethren and unite in prayer to the one God who is above all the Baalism." (p. 226) "Masonry, like all religions, all the Mysteries, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages or Elect and uses false explanations and interpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled."

Angelina Jolie Refuses To Let Brad Pitt's Parents Move In — Is She Being Unfair?
Brad wants his parents to move into the palatial home he shares with Angelina, but she is having none of it!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's home may be large enough for their six children, but it looks like there are two people it cannot accommodate — Brad's parents! Star reports that Brad invited his parents to spend the summer with the family at their French Chateau, and Angelina was having none of it! "She lashed out at him and said he was doing things behind her back," says a source. They went on to say Angie informed Brad that if they came, she would tell them: "get out of my house." Yikes!
This is apparently not the first time Angie has tried to prohibit visits from brad's parents, and it seems to be because of a feud between her and Brad's mom Jane. "Angelina can't stand taking advice from anyone, and she thinks Jane is always judging her," says the source. "She especially hates it when she throws in her two cents on how to raise the kids."
The real reason for Angie and Jane's feud may be far more simple however — Jane is still close to Brad's ex Jennifer Aniston.
The fact that Brad had hoped the couple's French getaway could be a retreat for his entire family is now causing major problems between the couple so we want to know HollywoodLifers — is Angie wrong to not want Brad's parents around?

About LindaJoyAdams
We are going into 14 months of what may be a very ' mud slinging' presidential campaign--already is. One side could 'play dirty' and complain about a site that backs another candidate, etc. Free speech = free society and when one blogs about a candidate: don't we all know its someone's opinion and hope civility will be present-but it isn't always. Unless what is said breaks the law, and those are rare and specific; leave the blogger alone. If I don't want to read something; I hit the DELETE button.Linda Joy Adams
Twitter only allow 140 characters. When I comment on an article, like this one; I link it to my personal twitter account. Sometimes the credits/title is over 140 and the only way to make the statement " see my comment" and post is to delete part of the credits. I earnestly try to make sure the name of site and author, etc. is still there.I do believe one should be given credit for their utterances. a phrase I made in 1948, at age three; and later published in reader's digest got picked up by A presidential speech writer in the early '90's and passed off as his and much political harangue ensued over " his statement" and most never knew it came from a different context. And I had no Internet to try and say: We need a Peace Corps because a 100o young people helping other help themselves would be like a Thousand Points of Light. This was said to then Cong Dirksen when my family was involved in trying to get Brethren Volunteer Service off the ground and Congress was being lobbied to have those that served in it would have met their military service requirement in case of a draft.Linda Joy Adams
laws do exist on the use of govt property. I actually have a letter from the federal government ( office of federal workers compensation- US Dept of Labor) that I need to specify in my will to the executor of my estate that the oxygen tanks that the govt paid for and I use, must be returned to the govt upon my demise. That means, the astronaut could use the camera in demonstrations and public appearances, etc. but since its govt property he can't sell it? of course, my used oxygen tanks, have little value compared to this camera? The current situation is that the govt contractor, ACS_Xerox has 11 years of unprocessed claims and currently our son, hauls tanks and we pay out of pocket although I'm approved for life by three govt contracted out health plans and the monopoly supplier in my area, Lincare is refusing service until OWCP pays them. The camera, like the O2 tanks, govt property forever. Linda Joy Adams
Expert help? just as long as historical documents aren't altered when digitized as was done in Orwell's 1984.
I was not the recipient of the bank records. Does everyone that has ever had a g mail account have to say No! not me? I like my small bank where it takes 4 pass codes to get to my money, unlike some big banks that seem to forget that even one individual's few dollars are private. Linda Joy Adams
Before there was the Internet, etc. many, like me saved newspaper clippings, recipes, etc. in boxes and file drawers. Now we can ' save' in folders attached to our e-mails and access them from the ' abandoned air' anytime we choose. My free blogger.com website was started for my own personal ' savings' and writings, etc. Its freely shared with anyone. So, if I get this correctly, if I don't look at something for 180 days, a search warrant will not be needed? Its a public website, free to anyone to look at any way. BUT! We all have friends and relatives who leave their e-mails on line ' forever' and one now has 5000 not yet deleted. These become 'public' to the govt after 180 days, too? Even though nothing of import to the govt is in such; the govt should still respect ones privacy and have a judge OK such an invasion. One needs to have a sense of being able to talk or e-mail ones friends without Big Brother or Sister eaves dropping as we ' bare our souls' of our most personal feelings. What one may say in a private conversation often might be something one would never ' share, or act on those feelings, with the world.' Linda Joy Adams

Advanced Contact Center Functionality Added to Microsoft Lync Unified to Deliver Enterprise-Quality Support Services
Advanced Contact Center Functionality Added to Microsoft Lync Unified to Deliver Enterprise-Quality Support Services
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 11, 2013) - AltiGen Communications, Inc. (OTCQX: ATGN), the leading provider of integrated Microsoft-based Unified Communications solutions, today announced that Auxilion (www.auxilion.com) has deployed AltiGen's MaxACD contact center solution for Microsoft Lync. Auxilion is an innovative virtual support services provider that uses Microsoft cloud technology and a virtual workforce to deliver affordable, enterprise-quality business outsourcing solutions in the areas of IT support services, customer support and project support.
Auxilion recently replaced its aging Nortel Meridian phone system with Microsoft Lync, which provides a complete unified communications solution encompassing voice, video, IM, conferencing and desktop sharing.

"As a global innovator in cloud-based IT support services built on Microsoft technology, the use of Microsoft Lync as our primary Unified Communications solution made absolute sense," said Graham Quinn, CTO at Auxilion. "In order for Auxilion to ensure the best level of service for our clients, we deployed AltiGen's state-of-the-art MaxACD contact center for Lync after evaluating a number of other contact center solutions. We needed a solution that was cost-effective, easy-to-use and manage, and future proof, allowing us to expand the system as needed according to our growth plans. AltiGen was the only solution that met all of our requirements."
Powered by AltiGen MaxACD, Auxilion's Virtual Service Desk is able to utilize advanced features like skills based routing and priority queuing to deliver best-in-class customer service and support. Skills-based routing allows callers to be identified and connected to the agent best qualified to provide support across Auxilion's virtual service center, and priority queuing allows Auxilion to offer different levels of support to different customer segments.

Mutual funds
Error creating thumbnail

See also List of Mutual Fund Managers.
Mutual Funds are the most popular investment among individual investors. If you have a 401(k) or work with a financial planner, you most likely own shares in a few mutual funds.
Mutual funds are popular because they offer a simple way to diversify an investment portfolio while letting a professional manager worry about buying and selling individual stocks.
According to the Investment Company Institute, a mutual fund industry group, the percentage of U.S. Households owning mutual funds grew from approximately 5 percent in 1980 to 45 percent in 2000, thereafter stabilizing around 43 percent. Mutual fund ownership among households also increases as household income increases.
Mutual funds are classified based on the type of assets they hold as well as their investment strategy. Although many types of funds exist, the major categories are:
Growth Funds - These funds typically pursue large returns, resulting in greater risk and volatility for investors. Managers of growth funds are willing to pay a premium for fast-growing stocks which have often displayed considerable momentum due to their popularity. Rather than paying dividends, managers of growth-focused companies typically reinvest profits in the business by purchasing equipment, executing a merger or acquisition, or developing new products and lines of business.
While growth stocks can continue to provide high returns as long as the stream of good news and earnings continues, when the company encounters difficulties they are likely to fall harder and faster than the stocks of mature businesses with steady, albeit lower, growth rates. Some funds, termed "aggressive growth funds," may use leverage to magnify positive (and negative) returns, making such funds a still riskier investment.
Income Funds - In contrast to growth funds, these funds seek to invest in stable sources of income (such as bonds and stocks with a consistent track record of dividend payments) and typically deliver lower returns. Money Market Funds, which are required to invest in low-risk and hence low-returning fixed income securities, are a type of income fund.
International Funds - Also referred to as "global funds," these funds focus on foreign securities, often in emerging markets with growth rates higher than those of more developed nations. In addition to the normal risk of asset devaluation, international funds also face exchange rate risk.
Commodity Funds - Managers of these funds allocate assets into commodities such as wheat, oil, gold and other precious metals.
Sector Funds - Sector funds focus on one area of the economy, such as telecommunications, and are therefore subject to greater volatility than funds with more diverse asset holdings.
Index Funds - These funds aim to mirror the performance of stock market indexes, such as the S&P 500 (.SPX-E) or Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJIA). Since many stock indexes are weighted based on the market capitalizations of their component stocks, index funds must periodically "rebalance" their holdings to more accurately track the index as stock prices (and market capitalizations) fluctuate.
Equity (Stock) Funds- Mutual funds which invest primarily in companies' stocks are subdivided based on the market capitalization of the stocks in which they invest (small, mid, or large-cap).
Bond Funds - Bond funds invest in fixed income securities issued by companies or governments. Such funds typically carry less risk and provide lower returns than equity funds.
Target Date Funds - These funds are designed to be an all-in-one fund, including stocks, bonds and possibly other investment types, to provide an appropriate asset allocation for someone retiring at designated year in the future (e.g. Target Date 2035). These funds change the allocation over time, becoming more conservative (i.e. less equity, more bonds) to reduce the risk of an investor losing a large percentage of their net worth just before needing to start withdrawing money from the fund. These funds are the simplest way for an investor to have someone 'manage' their asset allocation toward a future date. The Target Date does not have to be retirement, it could be paying for college, though retirement represents the majority of the use for these funds.
These categories are not mutually exclusive, and it is not uncommon for funds to employ hybrid strategies. Growth-income funds, for example, tend to invest in Blue Chip companies that pay steady dividends but may also provide capital gains through share price appreciation.
Investing in mutual funds offers many benefits for individual investors. Some of the benefits are:
Although diversification, or holding several types of assets in an investment portfolio to reduce risk, is an important part of any investment strategy, investors with a small amount of capital (say $5,000) may find it difficult and expensive to purchase small amounts of various stocks and bonds. By investing $5,000 in a mutual fund, however, diversification can be achieved while avoiding the transaction costs (i.e. commissions) that would be associated with purchasing each of the fund's holdings individually.
Posts like this brighten up my day. Thanks for taking the time.
Most mutual funds are open-ended, meaning the fund sells an unlimited number of shares to its investors. Investors wishing to buy into an open-ended fund purchase shares directly from the fund (sometimes through a brokerage), and investors wishing to leave sell their shares back to the fund. The price at which investors buy and sell shares to the fund is called the Net Asset Value (NAV) and is calculated each trading day at 4:00 pm. To calculate a fund's NAV, one subtracts the fund's liabilities from its assets and divides the result by the number of shares outstanding.
By contrast, closed-end funds sell a limited number of shares one time, and shares of closed-end funds trade on open market exchanges. Since closed-end funds have a finite number of shares available for trading, their share prices are more likely to deviate from NAV based on investor demand for shares in an individual closed-end fund. Investments in both open and closed-end funds are relatively liquid, meaning they can easily be converted to cash.
Investing in mutual funds also has a few drawbacks. Some of the drawbacks are:
Funds which sell their shares through brokers typically impose fees, called "sales loads" or "sales charges", as a percentage of an investor's initial investment to compensate brokers for their services. For example, an investor who gives his broker $10,000 to purchase shares in a mutual fund with a sales load fee of 5% would pay $500 to the broker, while the remaining $9500 would be used to purchase shares of the fund.
There are two types of sales loads: front-end loads, in which the investor pays the load when purchasing shares in the fund, and back-end loads, in which the load is paid when shares are redeemed, or sold back to the mutual fund. Many back-end load funds have loads which decrease over time. Investors who leave the fund within one year may pay a load of 5%, while those who leave between 1 and 2 years after thier initial investment pay 4%, and so on.
Some mutual funds do not use brokers to sell their shares but still charge fees to investors purchasing shares. Such fees are technically referred to as "purchase fees" since they go to the mutual fund rather than to a selling broker. Mutual funds which do not charge sales loads are referred to as "no-load" funds. However, funds referring to themselves as "no-load" may still charge a variety of other fees, including purchase fees, account maintenance fees, and redemption fees (similar to back-end loads but paid to the mutual fund rather than a selling broker).
12b-1 fees, which take their name from the SEC regulation permitting their existence, are charged by mutual funds to cover operating expenses, such as marketing, distribution of shares, printing and mailing prospectuses and responding to shareholder inquiries. Management fees are paid to asset managers and auxiliary staff for managing the fund's investment portfolio.
Given the various types of fees mutual funds charge, a fund's expense ratio can prove useful in comparing the costs of holding various funds. The expense ratio sums all of the fund's annual (non-load) fees (including management fees, 12b-1 fees, transaction costs and other administrative expenses) and divides the total by the fund's assets. A typical expense ratio is around 1.5%. Vanguard is a mutual fund company known for providing low-cost mutual funds; its funds have expense ratios of 0.5% or even less.
Mutual funds charge annual fees regardless of the fund's performance, and the higher a fund's expense ratio, the more the mutual fund manager must outperform the market to offer investors a better return than low-cost, index-tracking funds which are not actively managed and have fewer operating expenses. The most popular index-tracking mutual fund, the Vanguard 500 Index, has an expense ratio of just 0.18%. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) provides an online tool for comparing mutual fund expense ratios at http://apps.finra.org/fundanalyzer/1/fa.aspx.
At the end of each year, mutual funds are required to pay out all gains on investments to shareholders or pay corporate income tax on such gains. Investors receiving end-of-year distributions from mutual funds must pay capital gains tax on those distributions (unless the mutual funds are held in a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or IRA). Investors should be especially careful not to invest in mutual funds close to the end of the year (or distribution date), since they will be taxed on capital gains that occurred before they bought into the fund.
Since distributions are only made (and taxes paid) on gains that have been realized, funds that have low turnover typically carry lower tax liabilities for investors. In basic terms, turnover is the percentage of a fund's assets that change over the course of a year. If a mutual fund had sold all the stocks it had on January 1, 2008 by December 31, 2008, its annual turnover would be 100 percent. "Paper" gains (or losses) due to changes in asset prices are not "realized" until the fund sells the asset in question. According to John Bogle, the founder of index fund company Vanguard and a well-known champion of index funds, the average turnover for actively managed funds increased from 65 percent in 1975 to 90 percent in 2000.[3] In a widely cited paper published in the Journal of Finance, researcher Mark Carhart associated each 100 percent increase in mutual fund turnover with a 0.95 percent decrease in average return.[4] .
Tax-conscious fund managers can minimize tax liability by pairing capital gains realized by selling well-performing stocks with capital losses realized by selling poor-performing ones. Index funds, which may make only 15-20 transactions over the course of a year as stocks enter and exit indexes, typically carry turnover rates of around 5 percent and result in lower tax liability for investors.
The 'tax efficiency' of most mutual funds is calculated and reported by some fund rating organizations (e.g. Lipper).
People often hold tax-inefficient funds in their IRA or 401K accounts where there is no tax consequence, and hold tax-efficient funds in their taxable accounts.
Extremely helpful atrcile, please write more.
Since mutual funds typically pay brokers and other investment advisors on a commission basis when one of their clients buys shares in a fund, advisors sometimes recommend that their clients "churn" through various funds, frequently buying and selling shares and thereby generating more fees. Due to the entry and exit loads imposed by many funds, as well as the potentially negative tax consequences of frequently realizing gains and losses, churning funds typically reduces portfolio return.
Once fees for actively managed mutual funds are taken into account, approximately 75 percent of such funds underperform the S&P 500.[5] According to John Bogle, mutual funds' average annual return from 1984 to 2002 was 9.3 percent, compared to 12.2 percent for the S&P 500.[6] Despite widespread publication of this chronic underperformance, mutual funds continue to remain popular among investors, with the Investment Company Institute reporting a record-high $12 trillion in U.S. mutual fund assets at the end of 2007.[7]

Manchester faces $30,000 bill to raze Central Street property destroyed by fireBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 06. 2013 10:41PM
MANCHESTER - The city will soon be hit with another bill, this time for $30,000, for taking care of a burned-out shell of a building owned by tax scofflaws.
The building at 333-335 Central St. was ravaged by fire on Aug. 13. As the Union Leader reported, the owner of the building, CGL Properties LLC, skipped out on all of its taxes, more than $107,000 worth, from the time the building was purchased through the night of the fire.
City code enforcement officers declared the structure to be a threat to human life and ordered the building razed. CGL did not respond to the city's demand. As a result, the city asked for public bids to do the job and received three, ranging in cost from $29,200 to $73,820.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen will be asked to approve paying for the demolition job at its meeting tonight. The city can place a lien on the property to cover its expenses.
In other matters tonight, aldermen will give initial consideration to a proposal from Mayor Ted Gatsas to shut down Hanover Street from the Citizens Bank parking garage to Elm Street on Thursdays for the city farmers' market.
The market location became controversial last year when vendors split into two groups, one in the old location on Concord Street across from Victory Park, while a breakaway group eyed starting its own market in the Millyard.
Mayor Ted Gatsas and Alderman Pat Long brokered a settlement between the two groups.
"With a more centralized location, the market would see increased visibility and foot traffic," Gatsas said in a letter to aldermen.
Changes will also be considered in the city's standards for cutting people off of welfare for not complying with rules.
Welfare Commissioner Paul Martineau wrote the board to recommend deleting provisions of the eligibility standards allowing the city to suspend welfare payments for six months.
The state Supreme Court ruled the practice illegal in a suit brought on behalf of a family kicked off welfare for six months for not putting their car at the disposal of welfare department employees who wanted to check the odometer and gas gauge to figure out how much gasoline was used. The city had bought them five gallons of gas and had previously suspended benefits for seven days.
The family had been receiving a partial rent subsidy of $140 per week.
The Supreme Court noted state law provides that recipients must be given written notice, seven days to comply with the city's requests and the opportunity for a hearing. The justices said the state law takes precedence over the city's rules.

Calling itself Huong Lan Sandwiches is so limiting.
Calling itself Huong Lan Sandwiches is so limiting.
This place is much more.
On a recent Monday, we were in the mood for sandwiches a little more creative than basic grilled cheese or PB and J. We headed over to Huong Lan for a couple of banh mi and ended up taking home a buffet.
The eatery, tucked into a strip mall at West and Hammer lanes, is part restaurant, part market. There are a few tables for dining in, and service is order-at-the-counter. Made to order are the sandwiches and a few other things like noodle dishes. There are about 10 variations of banh mi, including fish patties, vegetarian and the ones we decided on, meatball and grilled pork ($3).
The sandwiches were on excellent crusty baguettes, and came with traditional toppings: pickled vegetables, jalape�os and cilantro. The combinations were excellent. The pork sandwich was served cold, so the meat and the veggies were the same temperature. The meatball, served warm, was well-spiced with a smooth texture.
If you're not a fan of spice, be sure to specify, because that jalape�o definitely grabs the spotlight.
To cool things off, there's also an entire menu of bubble teas (also called pearl teas, with little pearls of tapioca in the liquid). Choices ($3 for drinks on ice, $3.75 for blended shakes) include some pretty exotic options such as basil seeds, green milk tea and honeydew. The honeydew shake was a slam dunk. It tasted like just fresh fruit with a little sugar. The green milk tea was an acquired taste, a little floral, but it was well blended and the tapioca pearls added a fun, chewy texture.
The market section is the perfect way to try a bunch of prepared foods and share with friends. The section is small but jam-packed. There is a wide selection of Asian snack foods like shrimp chips, tamarind candy and Hello Panda biscuits. There is also a refrigerator full of sodas and liquids such as grass jelly drink ... which we regret not having tried just to satisfy our curiosity.
On top of a table is a selection of sweets and small entrees, such as sliced pork, spicy chicken or spring rolls. We tried the shrimp and pork spring rolls ($3), which came in a package of two. But these two were so big that they were practically four. They were filled with rice noodles, lettuce and the meat, and served with a side of peanut sauce. They were very fresh but we missed the herby note of cilantro or mint.
On our way out, we couldn't resist grabbing a selection of the treats. We picked four: the Banh Bo (sweet sticky rice, $1.75), Banh Bong Lan (sponge cake, $2.75), Banh Bo Nuong (a coconut-flavored rice treat, $1.75) and Banh Bao Hot Ga Ngot (sweet egg bao, $2). These were a tasty variation on our diet of typical American desserts - not quite as sweet, and definitely different textures. The bao fared best, with a delicious, not-too-sweet filling wrapped in moist dough. The sponge cake wasn't so popular, thought by some to be a little dry. The coconut rice was also a top pick for its tropical sweetness.
Seriously, much more than sandwiches.

Learn more about RS&H's Aviation Planning services.
RS&H has worked closely with the Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA) throughout the entire process of planning and developing Cecil Spaceport.
Spaceport Licensing and Environmental Assessment
We prepared the documentation and Environmental Assessment (EA) in support of JAA's application to obtain a launch site operator license with the Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation. The effort resulted in both a Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the EA and the issuance of the license, allowing JAA to operate the launch site. JAA can now offer Cecil Airport as a commercial launch site to operators with horizontally launched, suborbital, and reusable launch vehicles.
Spaceport Master Plan
RS&H also prepared a Master Plan to guide the future development of the spaceport. The plan maximizes the ability of Cecil Airport to host both aviation operations and commercial spaceport operations on the airfield with minimal interference between the two operations.

Terra Firma ups ante for EMI
A private equity buy-out at EMI is looking increasingly likely with Guy Hands - the money man behind Terra Firma - hiking the bid to buy the music firm with a new offer of £3.7bn.
Just last week the British music group had asked its shareholders to mull over a smaller offer of £2.4bn from Terra Firma.
According to today's Financial Times, Hands raised around half of the funds needed to submit the offer, with Terra Firma staff contributing more than £135.64m (€200m) to the pot.
EMI has been keen to secure a private equity agreement for some time now and, with Terra Firma raising the stakes even higher, the music group could be close to agreeing a buy-out.
Such a private capital deal is favoured by EMI - one of the Big Four in the music biz - because it will allow the firm to avoid stringent EU regulations.
The record label part of the music group has been battling a 15 per cent drop in revenue and watched pre-tax profits tumble by more than 60 per cent in the first three months of 2007 compared to a year ago.
Terra Firma's willingness to stump up an extra £1.3bn for EMI could be seen by some as an aggressive stance to shoulder the likes of Warner and other private equity firms out of the picture.
Arch rival Warner was said to have been considering a solo offer for EMI after ditching the possibility of its own private equity bid, according to a report in Monday's Guardian, but the firm refused to comment. ®

Okay, this is funny. You know how Chuck Liddell's body involuntarily convulses whenever he's watching a fight that's important to him? Well, it happened again during the UFC on FOX 6 match between his longtime rival Quinton Jackson and his longtime training partner Glover Teixeira. But don't watch Chuck — watch his fiance Heidi Northcott, who spazzes out right along with him. At 0:35-0:37, it's almost like she's doing an impression of Chuck Liddell's trademark spectator-stroke. In fact, the sheer over-the-top-ness of it makes me wonder if Heidi is actually in on the joke, and this whole thing is just a performance for our amusement. Hell, it wouldn't be the first time that these two have tried to pull a fast one on us.

Industry's first prototyping system to incorporate Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M3 processors implemented in FPGA
CAMBRIDGE, UK – Mar. 30, 2009 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMH)] today announced at Embedded Systems Conference (ESC), San Jose, Calif., the Keil™ Microcontroller Prototyping System (MPS), enabling evaluation and prototyping of ARM® Cortex™-M class processors and user defined peripherals in a single product. The Keil MPS is the first prototyping system incorporating a full-speed Cortex-M0 or Cortex-M3 processor implemented in FPGA which can be integrated with third-party peripheral IP to deliver a prototyping system for hardware and software application development.
The MPS enables ARM Partners to implement a Cortex-M class system without having access to the processor RTL, meaning different processors can be benchmarked in order to choose the most suitable for the intended devices price/performance. Additionally, the MPS is delivered fully configured with the Cortex-M processor and is fully tested so that the user does not have to test the processor implementation and can immediately begin adding third-party IP or writing software.
"Previously ARM Partners could not implement a FPGA prototype without access to the processor RTL," said Mark Onions, director of marketing, ARM System Design Division. "The Microcontroller Prototyping System provides a consistent platform for evaluating and developing devices based on the Cortex-M processors available today – including the industry's smallest, lowest power Cortex-M0 processor - and those to be released in the future."
Key benefits of the Keil MPS are:
The ARM Microcontroller Prototyping System is available today, shipping with Cortex-M3 processor support. Cortex-M1 and Cortex-M0 processor support to follow.
More information on the Microcontroller Prototyping System is available.

WASHINGTON (AP) — America has returned to war, of a sort, in Iraq with airstrikes that have intensified in recent days against Islamic State militants. But details about the execution of this limited campaign, which so far includes no reported U.S. ground combat, are thin.
Some questions and answers about the mission, which began Aug. 8:
Q. What U.S. forces are involved?
A. The specifics are hard to pin down in part because, as in any U.S. overseas conflict, many of the contributors work behind the scenes, sometimes in secret. We do know that the U.S. has about 750 military personnel in Iraq, not counting the 100 who have worked out of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad since before this crisis began.
None of the 750 are engaged in ground combat, but that does not mean they are not at risk.
Among the 750 are about 160 at what the military calls "joint operation centers"— one in Baghdad and another in Irbil, the capital of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region that is near the center of the latest fighting. Those 160 military personnel are coordinating with Iraqi and Kurdish military officials in support of their efforts to defend Irbil, including the U.S. Consulate there, and surrounding territory from the Islamic State group.
Q. Who is carrying out the airstrikes?
A. The only portion of the air campaign that has been discussed publicly in detail is the work being done by a range of Navy aircraft launching off the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf area. These include F/A-18F Super Hornets, which carried out the first strikes authorized by President Barack Obama.
Also flying are EA-6B Prowlers, which are electronic warfare planes designed to suppress enemy air defenses on the ground.
Speaking Wednesday from aboard the Bush, Rear Adm. DeWolfe H. Miller III, commander of the carrier strike group, said in a telephone interview with Washington reporters that his F/A-18F planes have launched about 30 strikes in Iraq. He would not talk about any air defenses his pilots may have encountered over Iraq.
Q. What about the Air Force?
The Air Force has said little about its combat role, although it is widely known inside the military that its F-15E attack planes as well as B-1 bombers and armed drones have participated in the campaign. The Air Force also flies aerial refueling missions that enable attack planes to remain over target areas for extended periods.
Q. Where are the Air Force planes flying from?
A. U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for all U.S. military operations in Iraq and across the greater Middle East, will not say what bases are being used. It cites "host nation sensitivities," which is a diplomatic way of saying the U.S. government is acceding to the wishes of Gulf states like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates that insist their involvement in U.S. offensive military operations not be publicly acknowledged.
It is no secret inside the Pentagon that the U.S. is flying some of its Iraq missions from al-Udeid air base in Qatar. The U.S. has an advanced air operations center at al-Udeid but specifics are rarely acknowledged publicly; it used the center to coordinate air operations during the 2003-11 Iraq War as well as the war in Afghanistan.
The U.S. also has considerable ground and air forces in Kuwait.
Q. How many targets have been bombed in Iraq so far?
A. Central Command said Wednesday that it has conducted a total of 84 airstrikes since Aug. 8. That includes 14 on Wednesday against a range of Islamic State militant targets in the vicinity of a Tigris River dam just north of Mosul, the largest city in northern Iraq. Of the 84 strikes, 51 have been in support of Iraqi forces near the dam. President Barack Obama declared Monday that Iraqi and Kurdish forces had recaptured the dam.
Q. What else is being struck?
A. U.S. warplanes have hit a wide range of Islamic State militant targets, including artillery, armored personnel carriers, armored Humvees, light trucks, mortar positions, checkpoints and roadside bomb emplacements.
There's the potential for the air campaign to expand into Syria, in which case the U.S. would have to call on aircraft and other elements of its military based in the Middle East and possibly Europe.

When the day started I had a completely different direction for this edition of the iPod Devotional. I had discovered a new artist and I was excited to share the artist and the inspiration. The random iPod feature changed that direction entirely this morning. An old hymn that I remembered from my moralistic past cued up. I have a tendency to move past those old songs because they remind me of a graceless congregation that nearly crushed me with rules and hypocritical judgment. I glanced at the screen. Casting Crowns. Hmm…I had a conundrum. I love Casting Crowns. So I decided to listen to the music of my painful past and a song called "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus".
I was amazed to discover that I used to sing about the same truths that I am now discovering. The difference is that I did not understand how those truths played out in grace and faith. One of my normal tasks is to research the story behind the song. This is a hymn that came out of heartbreak.
During the summer of 1875 Louisa Stead and her husband decided to enjoy the Long Island beach with their four-year-old daughter. Their family joy was interrupted by the desperate cry of a young boy drowning. Louisa's husband tried to rescue him but both he and the boy were tragically lost in front of the frantic wife and daughter.
The shocked widow struggled to feed her child as she cried out to the Lord to help. At the end of her rope and resources she opened her door one morning to find that someone had left food and money on her doorstep. That night she sat down and wrote this poem which would become the classic hymn.
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, "Thus saith the Lord!
Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
What a powerful message and the words are even more powerful in the context of her loss. Her lyrics echo what I missed during years of frustrating self-effort. Look at the words she chooses to describe her walk with Jesus.
· Trust
· Rest
· Know
· Take Him at His Word
None of those would have fit into my agenda of spiritual maturity and manly dedication. My words were more along the lines of try harder, study more, work harder and memorize more. None of those were bad things. The problem was my source of power. Me. There is only source of power that works. Jesus. And that power comes out of trust.
Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
I am finally trusting that Jesus is my only source of strength to cease from sin and self. And I am learning that trusting Him leads to joy, peace, life and rest. The truth has been under my nose since that song hit my ears as a young believer decades ago. But a works theology and wounded heart short circuited that joy and peace. Now I can sing joyfully along with this verse.
I'm so glad I learned to trust him,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Will be with me to the end.
The truth is I would have to sing "I'm so glad I'm learning to trust Him" if I am to be honest with you. I have heard it said that Jesus is unlike any other teacher. At school we always learned the lessons (hopefully) and then we took the test. In faith we generally have the test first and then the Holy Spirit gently teaches us the lesson. That is the story of this amazing hymn. That is my story. It is likely yours as well. Jesus said this to his Apostles before He left them.
"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going." John 14, NLT
There is that trust word again. Paul prayed for the blessed result of trusting Jesus as he wrapped up his letter to the Roman church.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15, NLT)
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more. Paul wrote about that grace in Romans.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. (Romans 5, NIV)
We are justified by faith. We stand on His grace. Put your full weight on that grace and remember how sweet it is to trust fully in Jesus.

CARSON, Calif. – The place where Pablo Mastroeni may make his biggest impact to the LA Galaxy might not be on the field, but in the minds of LA's young midfielders.
The Galaxy boast a number of young midfielders including Rafael Garcia, Kenney Walker, and Michael Stephens, and the consensus among the youngsters is that they are eager to learn from the two-time World Cup veteran.
"He brings his experience and it's just like bringing Mike Magee back or David [Beckham] because we're able to learn from him on and off the field," said Walker. "It's just another role model for everybody to follow because of his experience and time in the league."
"We could always use a veteran player especially the type of player that Pablo is. He's experienced and he's been around a long time and I think that he'll make us a better team," Garcia told LA Galaxy Insider. "A player with that career and experience could only help us. We've had veterans in the past like Noonan and Kirovski
Since the start of the season, LA has leaned heavily on the Brazilian duo of Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho, but Mastroeni offers another veteran option for the Galaxy in midfield heading into a packed summer schedule.
"It's definitely important. Having a guy like him in the center of the park and knowing what he's doing with Marcelo and Juni, we have a lot of good options now," said defender Todd Dunivant. "It's a good thing for our depth and it's only going to help us going forward."
