High-Energy Income

What investor wouldn't want a 6% yield and a stake in America's energy boom? One single investment -- the master limited partnership -- can provide both. But it's not an easy corner of the market to negotiate.
MLPs flourished after 1987, when Congress changed the tax code to encourage investing in energy infrastructure, especially the pipelines used to transport oil and gas. That encouragement came in the form of a corporate tax break: MLPs avoid corporate taxation since they must pass most of their cash flow to investors. The structure also allows for some pretty advantageous tax treatment at the investor level. This scenario has helped the industry's slow-but-steady growth to more than 80 energy MLPs today.
MLP performance has been impressive, though it's lagged to this point in 2012. The benchmark Alerian MLP Index, which tracks the 50 largest MLPs by market capitalization, has returned 5.9% so far this year, but has a total return of 90% over the past five years, trumping the 10-year Treasury and the Standard & Poor's 500.
Will this boom continue? We gathered three private wealth advisors with dedicated MLP investing strategies to weigh in. Their answer: Yes.
J. Michael Bollinger, 40, is with Morgan Stanley in Houston, where many of his clients have strong ties to the energy trade. He manages $300 million in MLP assets.
R. Christopher Errico, 44, at UBS in New York, has a third of his investments in individual MLPs.
Gary L. Ran, 54, is an independent advisor and chairman of Telemus Capital Partners in Southfield, Mich. Ran makes use of MLP funds.
Despite the enthusiasm around MLPs, there's a lot for investors to understand. Even the vocabulary can be challenging. For starters, shares are called units. The payouts, driven by the MLP's earnings, are distributions, though the distribution is often referred to as a yield. Just don't confuse that with a dividend: Most of an MLP's payout is taxed as a return on capital -- which comes with important adjustments and no small amount of confusion. (The taxation of MLPs is such a gnarly topic we've tackled it in a sidebar, "When Big Payouts Mean Big Headaches," see bottom of story.) And then there's the energy industry, which is impenetrable for many investors. Our trio of experts attempted to simplify the ins and outs of this alluring-but-complicated investment.
Barron's: Let's start with the basics. Why do you like MLPs? Is it just that they're paying, on average, a 6% distribution, or is there more to it?
Bollinger: We are still in the very early stages of the MLP's evolution. The industry could easily get to $500 billion in market capitalization in 10 years, from about $300 billion today. MLPs have a great total return, a combination of yield and growth, which is difficult to find anywhere else.
Ran: In the early 1990s, income investors had Treasury yields of 4%, 5%, and MLPs were an unknown asset class. As interest rates go higher, some MLPs won't be able to keep up. That's why we are a little cautious about adding money here. But we still like MLPs.
Errico: Whenever you can buy a business that pays you more this year than it did last year, especially in a low-interest-rate environment, that is a good place to be. And their businesses are sound. You have to transport this new U.S. oil and gas. We're seeing the largest energy infrastructure buildout since World War II, and it's creating a lot of jobs.
So why aren't more people invested in MLPs?
Bollinger: A lot of MLPs aren't investment-grade. Many are small-caps. Well gosh, that sounds like a volatile investment.
You mention an investment-grade rating. Are MLPs rated as bond-issuers are?
Bollinger: MLPs typically borrow money or issue equity to fund their growth. Because they are required to pass through the majority of their free cash flow as distributions to unit holders, they need to issue debt to finance new projects. But they have the cash flow to cover borrowing costs. If you don't understand how they are structured, MLPs can appear more risky because they are more levered.
How did MLPs fare in the financial crisis?
Errico: In October 2008, I worried the world was coming to an end. We were very close to having no credit. But MLPs bounced back big time in 2009 because credit loosened up. Some increased distributions, while banks slashed them.
Please explain the distinction between an MLP distribution and its yield.
Errico: If you own a $10 MLP and it pays a $1 distribution, that's a 10% yield. If that MLP price goes to $20, that yield would be 5%. Your distribution is still $1. But because MLPs can grow by making acquisitions, raising money, and building new things, their cash flows expand, they must pay out most of that cash flow, and they raise their distributions. The key to this whole sector is owning the MLPs that raise that distribution over time. Then your stock price increases.
And the yield?
Errico: If the stock price goes up, the yield might go down. But if the distribution is going higher, you benefit because the MLP price goes higher.
Interest rates are at historic lows. When interest rates rise, what happens to MLPs?
Errico: MLPs are definitely more attractive in low-interest-rate environments. If rates go higher, MLP investors may have more opportunities for lower-risk investments with higher yields, like municipal and high-grade bonds. But the fact that MLPs can increase their distribution provides a cushion for investors. Some pipelines are talking about raising their distributions in the next three years regardless of where interest rates go.
Bollinger: If interest rates go up slowly, that's OK for MLPs. If rates go up precipitously -- one or two percentage points in a short time frame -- it will push yields up and prices down on MLPs. Right now, there is roughly a 450-basis-point spread between the average yield for the Alerian MLP Index and the 10-year Treasury. [One basis point is 0.01%.] Since 1998, the average spread of the Alerian and the 10-year is 340 basis points. MLPs are trading at a roughly 100-point discount to their historic average. The space will be influenced by interest rates, commodity prices, and other market factors. But MLPs' ability to raise their distribution consistently by 5% to 10%, on average, can overcome those hurdles, given enough time.
How do commodity prices affect MLPs?
Errico: Pipelines typically collect steady fees with long-term contracts, regardless of the commodities that pass through the pipe. Other MLP businesses that find and process natural gas, oil, or other products, though, may get lower prices for their goods; cash flow then decreases and therefore distributions may decrease.
The original MLPs were pipeline businesses. The biggest MLPs are still these "midstream" operations, but the field is expanding "upstream" and "downstream" as well. What does all that mean?
Bollinger: The traditional midstream MLP assets you refer to include the intrastate pipeline systems that take products to storage, regulated interstate pipelines that go across state borders, and the gathering and processing systems that take natural resources from the wellhead to the distribution point. Upstream is exploration and production. E&P MLPs are still relatively new. They find long-lived oil and gas assets after they have had a drop in production. But these assets have a long tail, which means future production will have a slow decline, and still provide steady cash flow. Linn Energy [ticker: LINE] was among the first new E&P companies to go public as an MLP, and now there are a handful.
That leaves downstream.
Bollinger: The downstream MLPs are the refining assets and chemical plants. Two recent offerings among downstream MLPs have variable distributions: CVR Partners [UAN] and PetroLogistics [PDH]. We look for more consistent yield from infrastructure MLPs. We have a small exposure to some E&P, or upstream, names. I'm skeptical about the downstream, refining names.
Chris, you also prefer the pipeline businesses. Why?
Errico: A business in the midstream is a toll collector that takes products from point Point A to Point B. They have monopolistic characteristics. Planes wouldn't fly, homes wouldn't be heated, and businesses couldn't run without these entities. Our biggest position, the one I've got the most confidence in right now, is Kinder Morgan [KMI]. It's the general partnership that owns Kinder Morgan Energy Partners [KMP], one of the largest U.S oil and gas pipeline companies. About 95% of its revenues are fee-based. What distinguishes KMI, and any MLP general partner, is that it gets a higher percentage of income when KMP raises its distribution, much like a general partner in a hedge fund or a real-estate partnership.
People call CEO Richard Kinder an MLP pioneer.
Errico: Rich Kinder left Enron in 1996 and purchased Enron's pipelines. I've owned KMP since 1997. After 15 years of listening to him on conference calls, I can say he under-promises and over-delivers. He pays himself $1 a year.
And the shares?
Errico: KMP has had a 25% annual return since 1996. Kinder just did a legendary, transformational merger, buying the general partnership of El Paso [EP]. Kinder Morgan now owns two pipelines and two general partnerships. KMI could double its distribution in the next five years. Today, you get $1.40 in distributions, or 4%, and it is a $35 stock. If you get $2.50 in distributions, that's a $62 stock. KMI, the general partnership, is where Rich Kinder has all his money. He made my career in the 1990s. I'm not worried about whether he is going to cover the distribution.
Bollinger: We initiated a position in KMI after the El Paso announcement in October.
Mike, what do you look for other than valuation?
Bollinger: We don't want everything concentrated on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and a hurricane comes in. We don't want everything exposed to the price of natural gas or natural-gas liquids. We want crude oil, we want refined products. We want the big companies as well as the small- and mid-caps names that could become large-caps.
Valuing MLPs is very different from valuing stocks. One metric often used is an MLP's coverage ratio, which is the MLP's distributable cash flow divided by how much it actually distributes. What exactly does that tell you?
Errico: How much cash flow an MLP has after it pays the distribution. It tells you if the MLP has extra cash. If MLPs are healthy, they generally cover their distribution by 1.1 or 1.2 times.
Ran: You still have to buy good businesses, not a micro-cap with a risky business model.
What MLPs do you like now?
Bollinger: I see value in stories like Copano Energy [CPNO], where everything hasn't gone exactly to plan but the long-term story is good. A large part of their business is a natural-gas pipeline and gathering system in the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas. They also process natural-gas liquids.
Among the larger MLPs, what are your favorites?
Bollinger: Enterprise Products Partners [EPD], Kinder Morgan [KMI] and Plains All American Pipeline [PAA]. Plains is a pipeline company with a very strong management team. It is crude-oil transportation and storage primarily, one of the oldest names. It has a very good business model.
What do you think about all the new MLP funds and exchange-traded products?
Bollinger: Funds help the liquidity and overall sustainability of MLPs as an asset class. Fund investing also makes the tax aspect simpler. When you invest directly, you get a K-1 limited partner tax statement for every MLP you own. Funds pay corporate-level taxes and send investors a single 1099 tax form for the entire portfolio. But I wonder how many fund investors fully understand the haircut, the [index] tracking error they get in exchange for tax simplicity.
Gary, why MLP funds?
Ran: My clients have a lot of their money tied up in retirement plans, where direct MLP investment doesn't work. There is unrelated business taxable income, which is not deductible, and ends up being a penalty in a retirement plan. My advice to the small investor: You might be doing yourself a disservice by investing directly, because the cost of your accountant might be more than the benefit.
There are more than a dozen closed-end MLP funds. [These funds have a fixed number of shares that "go public" much like a company. They can trade at a discount or premium to the value of the underlying assets.] How do you value a closed-end fund?
Ran: You never want to buy a closed-end fund at an initial public offering. You want to buy it shortly thereafter, when it starts trading at a discount to its net asset value. We like the closed-end fund structure because of the leverage employed.
That leverage, or borrowing, can enhance returns -- but it can also magnify losses.
Ran: There is more volatility in a leveraged closed-end fund. The Cushing MLP Total Return Fund [SRV], for instance, carries a big loss from the financial crisis. But there's also a tax advantage there, as that loss offsets any gains. That deferred asset, the loss, is a hidden gem on their balance sheet. As a result, the fund trades at a premium. We have bought SRV at both discounts and premiums. We also own the Kayne Anderson MLP Investment Fund [KYN] and the JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index ETN [AMJ], which just stopped issuing shares, so now it is, in essence, a closed-end fund. But you have to be cautious about buying AMJ, and not buy it at a premium. And because an exchange-traded note is a debt instrument, there's also credit risk.
When Big Payouts Mean Big Headaches
Correction: A previous version of this sidebar incorrectly stated the tax treatment of the distribution when an MLP's cost basis reaches zero. It is generally taxed as capital gains.
Calculating the tax on a master limited partnership (MLP) isn't for the faint-hearted or math-averse. But even if you plan to use an accountant, you need to understand the basics before you buy. MLPs are generally taxed more favorably than stocks and other securities, but if you don't understand how they work, you can end up with a nasty tax surprise.
When you buy an MLP, you become a limited partner in a business. The business itself doesn't pay any tax, since it passes virtually everything -- profits, losses, depreciation, among other items -- to the unit holders. You'll receive a portion of the MLP's net income, as well as quarterly cash distributions.
You'll often hear that about 80% of the MLP's distribution is tax-deferred. What that actually means is that your share of the MLP's annual net income equals just 20% of the cash distribution, according to the trade group National Association of Publicly Traded Partnerships. This distinction is important. You'll pay ordinary income tax annually on any net income.
Unlike stocks, your cost basis in the MLP isn't simply what you paid for it; it's adjusted both up and down. Your share of the MLP's net income increases your basis. (Think of it as reinvesting stock dividends.) Your distributions are considered a return of capital, which reduces your cost basis. It's complicated, but it makes sense: Your cost basis is essentially the capital you put up to join the business. If the partnership returns some of that capital, your basis is reduced. You won't pay tax annually on this part of your payout, but there are big implications when you sell the MLP or the distributions lower your basis to zero. More on that in a minute.
Let's say you buy an MLP for $30. In that first year, your share of the MLP's net income is $2. That raises your basis to $32. Let's say you also received cash distributions of $2.50, and $1.50 in depreciation, each of which lowers your cost basis -- so now it's $28 ($32 - $4=$28). If you sell the MLP next year for $30, you may think you won't owe any tax since there seems to be no gain -- after all, you only paid $30 when you bought the MLP. But since your basis has been lowered to $28, you actually have a gain of $2 per unit.
Now, here's where things get interesting. There's billions of dollars earmarked for energy infrastructure projects, which will help MLP distributions increase. But as distributions rise, your cost basis could be whittled to zero. Once that happens, any distributions are generally taxed as capital gains.
"There's a huge future tax liability the longer you hold an MLP," says J. Michael Bollinger, a Morgan Stanley private wealth advisor in Houston.
What's more, the biggest MLPs are pipeline businesses, many of which transport oil, gas and natural gas across state lines. That means you could have tax liabilities in multiple states, regardless of where you live.
If the Bush-era tax cuts expire in January 2013, MLPs may become even more attractive, because stock dividends will no longer be taxed at the low 15% rate. Instead, they'll be taxed as ordinary income at rates as high as 39.6%. The net income portion of MLP payouts, meanwhile, is already taxed at ordinary income tax rates, the highest of which is now 35%, so any hike may not be as jarring. But more importantly, the vast majority of an MLP payout is tax-deferred, and not an issue until you sell or your basis goes to zero.
"If tax rates go up, then the value of the MLP tax deferral is magnified," says Robert Willens, a New York CPA, and former KPMG tax partner and former star tax analyst at Lehman Brothers. He owns a few MLPs himself.
If you're still completely baffled, rest assured that many accountants find the tax headache wearisome as well. Some, says Gary Ran, a Michigan independent advisor, act like a "Svengali" over clients and dissuade them from owning individual MLPs. One reason Ran himself prefers exchange-traded products is their tax simplicity. Also, smaller investors be warned: Ran says the cost of your accountant can mitigate or erase the tax benefit of owning an individual MLP.

Speaking of Bill Shatner, a fantastic soundtrack for this evening (or any evening) is the his hit single* "I Can't Get Behind That" of his 2004 album Has Been.
With the help of Henry Rollins, Shatner uses "I Can't Behind That" to just go off on everything and anything, including his rocker. It's brilliant. The puppets are a particularly nice addition to the frenetic tone of the whole thing, and I'm not sure whats up with the Russian (Russian?) subtitles, but it was the only video I could find and frankly they just add to the manic insanity of the whole thing. If this is AT ALL amusing to you, you should totally go check out the whole album. It's a trip. [Spotify, Amazon, iTunes]
*in no way actually a hit single

Subscribe To Richard Linklater Will Direct A Walk In The Woods For Robert Redford Updates
I've already subscribed
Bill Bryson is one of America's most interesting travel writers, able to weave together humor in with what it takes to be a human on Earth, instead of just listing locations and describing their histories. His frequent dabblings in science, history and language are just as interesting, but aren't as easy to adapt. Robert Redford has been trying to get Bryson's 1998 travel diary A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail produced for around eight years now, with directors like Chris Columbus and Barry Levinson coming into the fold and leaving without a lot of progress following those announcements.
Let's hope we aren't being dragged down an Appalachian Trail of false hopes here, as the L.A. Times reports cult director Richard Linklater has taken the reins on the independently financed project, which Redford is still set to produce. Linklater is still riding the buzz from the third film in his Ethan Hawke/Julie Delpy Sunrise/Midnight series, which our own Katey took quite a liking to. Fingers crossed, Redford said Linklater could have the film in production as early as this fall.
A Walk in the Woods will feature Redford playing Bryson and Nick Nolte as Bryson's recovering alcoholic friend Stephen Katz as the two men share various observations about the entirety of the world around them as they make the 2,100 mile trek. Considering the beginning of Linklater's career was filled with existential dialogue-driven films, this seems like a perfect fit on all fronts.
Redford, whose last directorial efforts were the thrillers The Conspirator and the upcoming Weather Underground-inspired thriller The Company You Keep, doesn't seem too angry to leave the high stakes dramas alone for a while.
"A Walk in the Woods is the kind of movie that has something to say but can also be really commercial because it's just so funny," says Redford. "It will be nice to get back to doing a comedy." And it will be nice to see Nick Nolte play Nick Nolte in a movie again.

Indians struggle with bats despite Bourn's effort
Leadoff man notches only two Cleveland hits vs. Rays
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Indians rolled out of Toronto on Thursday night feeling good about their offense after scoring a combined 15 runs on 31 hits over three games. But their revamped lineup was no match for left-hander Matt Moore and the Rays on Friday night.
Moore struck out eight over six innings and the Tribe managed just two hits, both by Michael Bourn and neither of them after the third inning, in a 4-0 loss to Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field. After bashing 14 hits Thursday, including eight for extra bases and two homers, Cleveland hit only five balls out of the infield the entire night.
So, why the big disparity between Thursday night's outburst and Friday night's shutout?
"I think their guy had something to do with that," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He's got enough of a fastball where you've got to respect that. Then you start flipping that breaking ball in for strikes, that made him really tough. Then their bullpen came in and just attacked the strike zone. They had a lead, and they did exactly what they're supposed to do."
Moore kept the Indians off balance and off the scoreboard for six innings, allowing only two hits and two walks to go along with his eight strikeouts on 100 pitches. Known mostly for his high-powered fastball, Moore beat the Indians mostly with his curveball and changeup in his first start of the regular season.
Cleveland had its best chance to score in the third inning, when Aviles drew a leadoff walk and moved to third on Bourn's double to right. But Asdrubal Cabrera knocked a grounder toward third baseman Evan Longoria, who scooped it up and chased down Aviles before firing the ball to catcher Jose Molina, who tossed it to Escobar to tag out Aviles. That left Bourn at second and Cabrera at first with two outs, but Moore struck out Jason Kipnis to end the inning.
"His velocity's down a little bit from last year," Kipnis said. "Last year, he was more like the 95-97 [mph] range. Today, it was kind of in the 92-94 [mph range], but he knows that.
"He's a smart pitcher, so he started using his offspeed a little bit more and moving the ball in and out. He wasn't throwing anything out there that we haven't seen. I just think we didn't take advantage of when we had guys on base and just didn't come up with a big hit tonight. But that's why there's a game tomorrow."
The Indians only got one more runner to second base after the third inning, and that was in the fourth, when Michael Brantley walked and took second on a groundout to first. While the Tribe struggled to put together any sort of offense, Moore and Rays relievers Jake McGee, Brandon Gomes and Joel Peralta pitched five perfect innings to close out the game. In all, Tampa Bay's pitching staff retired Cleveland's final 17 hitters in order.
"It feels good for us to have a combined shutout like that," Moore said. "It's something that we really work toward every game. To have the first one of the year on my night, it feels nice."
Indians right-hander Zach McAllister pitched fairly well in his own right for six innings, though he uncorked two wild pitches in the first four innings and missed a few more targets up and away -- something Francona attributed to McAllister overthrowing his fastball.
Still, McAllister had only allowed one hit in three innings before Tampa Bay broke through with two runs in the fourth. Left fielder Sam Fuld singled and scored on Ben Zobrist's double to right field. McAllister then gave up a single to Longoria, Tampa Bay's third straight hit to begin the inning, and Zobrist eventually scored on a groundout by Yunel Escobar.
McAllister's trouble continued in the fifth. After he recorded two quick outs, third baseman Mike Aviles booted a grounder that allowed Rays leadoff hitter Desmond Jennings to get on base. Jennings moved to third when McAllister served up a hard-hit single to right field by Fuld, then Zobrist laced a line-drive double to right to score both runners and give the Rays a 4-0 lead.
"If I pick Mike up there, it's a different ballgame: We're down two and have a really good chance to score some runs," McAllister said. "It's something I'm disappointed in, not being able to pick him up and it's something I'm going to be able to hopefully do a lot better job of this year. But overall, I thought it was OK."
Unfortunately for the Tribe, "OK" wasn't good enough Friday night. And Moore was just a little too good.
"He had his offspeed stuff working, really pounding the zone, working ahead of guys," said Indians first baseman Nick Swisher, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. "Any time you get into a position like that, man, he really kind of got into that groove. It makes for a tough day."

TNT Orders "On the Menu" (working title) from Executive Producer Mark Burnett, TV's First Cooking Competition to Let Viewers Taste Every Episode's Winning Dish
Series to Premiere in 2014
TNT has greenlit the new series On the Menu (working title), television's first cooking show ever to give viewers the chance to taste the winning dish after every episode. The network has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which is slated to launch in 2014. Mark Burnett (The Bible, The Voice, Survivor) serves as executive producer for On the Menu, which is being produced by One Three Media, Burnett's joint venture with Hearst Corporation. In addition to producing TNT's On the Menu, Burnett and One Three Media serve as executive producers on TBS's new series Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host, which is slated to premiere Oct. 22.
What's the one thing missing in every cooking show on television? Viewers don't get to taste the food... until now. On the Menu is the first cooking competition show ever to give viewers at home the chance to taste the dishes they see on screen. Each episode of On the Menu will center on a different American food business - ranging from restaurant chains and stadium concession stands to amusement parks and cruise lines. Passionate home cooks, working in conjunction with professional chefs, will be challenged to create the business' next signature menu item. The winning dish will immediately go on the menu, giving viewers at home the chance to go try the dish the very next day.
"On the Menu is a terrific concept, bringing together home cooks, professional chefs and popular eateries together in a competition setting, then giving viewers the chance to taste the winning dishes themselves," said David Eilenberg, senior vice president, unscripted development for TNT and TBS. "We are very excited to be working with Mark Burnett once again, especially on a show as fun and unique as On the Menu."
"We are excited to offer the viewer at home a unique opportunity to actually be part of our series," said executive producer Mark Burnett. "To be able to taste the winning dish the next day brings the series tangibly into the viewer's own life experience."

I've got a poem in my pocket
Cos I've heard that today is the day
That the poets are planting a poetry seed
Just a verse you can pull from your pocket and read
If conditions are right, it could grow like a weed
If conditions are right, well, it may
I've got a poem in my pocket
Could be Silverstein, Kipling, or Frost
Could be Angelou, Dickinson, Cummings, or Yeats
Neruda, or Hughes—there are so many greats—
Or that William McGonagall everyone hates
And whose poetry should have been lost
I've got a poem in my pocket
And I'm hoping you carry one, too
We can search out a spot where there's adequate light
And there pull out our poems and begin to recite
And the people who hear us will smile with delight
Or they'll cry, because sometimes they do.
I've got a poem in my pocket
Though the truth is, I know it by heart
So I'll study your eyes while you lend me your ear
And recite while I search for a twinkle or tear
Sure, it's only a day, not a poetry year…
But you know… it's a pretty good start
For National Poem-In-Your-Pocket Day. Today. And before any real poets complain, I had to use widely-recognized names. They are some of my favorites, but I have others I love that would mostly be unrecognized. Maybe I made the wrong choice, now that I think about it. But fixing it would mean more work, and I am nothing if not a lazy cuttlefish.

Purpose of Lesson:
The purpose of lesson is to finish the movie, assess student understanding of the geologic basics we've learned and give students some exemplars for the timeline project.
Major Strategies to Watch for:
Learning Goal: Discover some of the important events in early man's history.
Opening Question: What do you remember about human life BEFORE civilization?
Students record their opening question on their learning goal sheet and are ready to start class 3 min after the bell has rung. I reward students who get started early with ROCK STAR SCIENTIST tickets.
In my district, the social studies curriculum starts with the concept of civilization and pre-civilization. This is a great chance for me to connect the huge amount of evolutionary history we are examining to the very small about of recorded human history they are studying in Social Studies. The students are always awed and surprised at how small a space human history takes up.
Today, I ask students to remember as a table some of the things we learned about life before civilization. We share out answers and talk as a class about the connections we might see in the film today.
Follow the links to learn more about the beginning of class strategies and ROCK STAR scientist tickets.
For the hook today, I am doing a focus lesson for the timeline project using exemplars. I want to show students some different examples to give them some ideas for their timelines. See screencast below.
I show the movie in short 13-20 min sections. I stop the film often to have students record notes on major events using a note catcher. I also use notes that are already made for students with slow processing or writing difficulties. These modified notes make it possible for all students to complete the final project. As we watch the movie, not only do I stop to talk about content but I also stop to point out important vocabulary words. Students record these vocabulary words in their TIP (Term- Information- Picture) charts.
Today I show the last section of the movie The Story of Earth, from 1:18:48 to 1:29:47. This section contains information about early hominids and the future of earth.
The purpose of this section is to assess students on their understanding of Geological Timelines, Geological layers, and the History of Earth. I wrote this test with one of my coaches and evaluators. We took out a couple of the multiple choice questions to make more room for constructed response and raise the DOK level of the questions.
Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a method of adding complexity to questions and activities. Like Bloom's taxonomy, it has levels of complexity going from easy to difficult.
Some criticisms Blooms are that it is too easy to write questions using the verbs that are still low level. Unlike Blooms taxonomy, DOK focuses on the complexity of the tasks the students are completing.
When we looked at the first test I had written, most of the questions fell in the level 1 or Recall area. To fix this we took a few of the multiple choice questions and bumped up the complexity using DOK sentence starters, turning them into more open ended questions.
This is one of the questions that we adjusted.
Using the timeline and your knowledge how would you describe the change in life from the beginning of earth to the present day?
Because the question asks for students to apply their knowledge and use evidence from the timeline, this is a Level 3 question. Previously, the question was level 1 because it simply offered the students choices about how life developed.
This adjustment to the questions did have consequences. Students scored terribly on the higher level questions! The next step for my teaching will be working with my coach to put higher complexity questions into my teaching all the time so that the students and I both know the level they are learning at.
When students have completed their tests they should work on their timelines.
Closing Statement: For the last week we have been watching a movie about the history of Earth. We seen a number of important geological and biological events.
Closing Question: Which events did you think were the most important for Earth's history and why?
Closure depends greatly on timing and is not as easy to plan in advance as opening. You can find more information about how I manage closure here.

Egypt's New Dictator Was Made in the USA
The U.S. trained him and funds his regime. So why won't Sisi listen?
CAIRO—A confident-looking Abdel Fattah el-Sisi strides across the tarmac at Almaza Air Base, dressed in a blue blazer and his trademark sunglasses. He is not yet Egypt's head of state, but certainly looks like one: Nabil Fahmy, the foreign minister, trails a few steps behind, half-obscured by the phalanx of military officers around Sisi. The delegation is en route to Russia to discuss a multi-billion dollar arms deal.
The next day in Moscow, a smiling Sisi shakes hands with Vladimir Putin. The Russian president wishes him well. "I know you have decided to run for president. This is a very responsible decision, to take upon yourself responsibility for the fate of the Egyptian people," he says.
Story Continued Below
It is Sisi's first foreign trip since he overthrew President Mohamed Morsi last summer, and it ticks all the boxes: The army chief doffing his uniform, acting like a statesman, shoring up relations with a popular ally.
Except, despite Putin's good wishes, Sisi hasn't actually announced a presidential bid yet. For the second time this month, a foreign dignitary got ahead of the army chief. Last week it was Ahmed El-Garallah, the editor of Al-Seyassah, a Kuwaiti newspaper of dubious reliability, who interviewed Sisi at the Defense Ministry and reported that he would run for president, only to have the army deny the story hours later.
In public, Sisi is the subject of a massive cult of personality. Posters of him are everywhere; a particularly large one, in a gilded frame, stands outside the Court of Cassation, Egypt's top appeals court, in downtown Cairo. Vendors sell Sisi jewelry, Sisi chocolates, even Sisi pajamas. Chefs discuss his merits with callers while chopping vegetables on cooking shows.
But for all the adulation, Sisi is something of an enigma. Nobody knows how he would govern as president, or even if he really wants the job. His best-known statements are platitudes, one-liners about Egypt as the "mother of the universe," its people "the light of our eyes."
Even those who know him personally say he didn't make a deep impression. "Warm eyes," is how one former army colleague remembers him. "A quiet guy, very thoughtful," according to his former academic adviser. So it's a bit of a mystery how he ended up in a position to replace Hosni Mubarak, the longtime dictator who was deposed in February 2011 amid huge protests centered around Cairo's Tahrir Square.
"I think he got caught up in the fever of the country," says Sameh Saif el-Yazal, a retired general from the same military intelligence division Sisi once commanded. "After a really bad year with the Muslim Brotherhood, and the president, the people believe that without [Sisi] the country is going to collapse."
Sisi's public persona suggests a larger-than-life figure, a modern-day Gamal Abdel Nasser. But Nasser had Nasserism: None of Sisi's actions over the past few years even suggest much of a governing philosophy. One observer likened him to a "consumer product," a popular and trustworthy symbol of the army reasserting itself as the dominant force in Egypt's political life.
"There's really nothing supporting all of this. It's totally hollow, aside from jingoistic nationalism about the role of Egypt," says Michael Wahid Hanna, a fellow at the Century Foundation. "It's a fairly conservative society … that has a pretty deep-seated impulse toward stability and normalcy. They've projected all that hope onto this individual."
Sisi was born in 1954 in Gamaleya, one of the oldest districts in Cairo, home to the ancient Khan al-Khalili bazaar. He was one of eight children; his father, a religious man, was a craftsman who owned a shop in the souq.
He received his officer's commission after graduating from the military academy in 1977. It was the same year Anwar Sadat opened peace negotiations with Menachem Begin, putting an end to three decades of wars with Israel. Sisi has never seen combat; he made rank in a peacetime military, amassing a chest full of ceremonial medals: He wears a "silver jubilee" decoration for the anniversary of the October War, another for the 50th anniversary of the 1952 revolution that overthrew King Farouk.
Sisi rose through an army that was rapidly reorienting itself away from the Soviet Union and toward the United States. Today more than half of Egypt's combat aircraft, and nearly two-thirds of its tanks, are American-made; it relies heavily on the United States for maintenance and spare parts—to the tune of $1.3 billion in annual military aid from Washington, which covers some 80 percent of Cairo's arms purchases. Big-ticket items are bought on credit: Egypt can make large orders now, and pay for them over a period of several years, an arrangement known as "cash-flow financing." Israel is the only other country that enjoys this privilege.
Beyond that, the two militaries conduct numerous joint training programs, including the biannual Bright Star exercise, and dozens of Egyptian officers train at American institutions.
One of those students was Sisi himself, who in 2006 was sent to the U.S. Army War College for a yearlong master's-degree program that has become a way station for up-and-coming Egyptian officers. Other graduates include Gen. Sedki Sobhi, the current chief of staff and a likely successor to Sisi should he resign to pursue the presidency.
Sisi's year in Pennsylvania coincided with the worst points of the U.S.-led war in Iraq, when sectarian attacks were killing thousands of civilians each month. The Bush administration, meanwhile, was continuing a rhetorical push for democracy around the region: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gave a speech in Cairo in mid-2005 calling on the Egyptian government to "fulfill the promise it has made to its people, and to the entire world, by giving its citizens the freedom to choose."

Define what you want to see on-screen
What you want to see during a race and what you want to see during training are usually very different things. "In race modes I tend to want just one simple screen," says Ambit product manager and avid triathlete Markus Kemetter. "So I have made 'race versions' of the cycling and running modes for triathlon rather than using the default modes." Since you're unlikely to look at the screen during the swim, you're probably ok to leave that as default!
© Orca
Create race specific modes for racing and training
To create a new mode just for racing or training, select your watch from the top of movescount.com, click on the sport mode and hit the 'create new sport mode' button. Choose a name like RaceRun, RaceBike or TrainRun/Bike etc. You can then choose from eight different screens, each with four different layout options, or go minimalist with just one screen with one display – whatever your preference.
Decide what works for you
What you choose to see is personal. "For running, I want to see time, distance and pace, primarily," says Suunto triathlete Åsa Lundström. But she says she'll have up to three screens during training. "The first I have time, distance and pace. The second is for intervals, where lap tempo, lap time and lap distance is in focus and where heart rate is a second scroll on the lap distance. The third screen is for longer runs where I need a short update on reality, such as time of day, average heart rate and overall workout time. For biking, it's mostly the same setup, with screens for cadence and watt power."
Click for 7 off-season tips for triathletes!

Edit the triathlon mode
Once you've defined the screens you want to see during a race, remember to go back into the Triathlon mode and make sure those new modes you just created (RaceRun etc) are what you see. Remember to check the order and keep transition mode after each activity so you can see how much time you lose there. During a race, simply press and hold the Back Lap button at the beginning and end of each transition to switch activities – and the stop button when you cross the finish line.
Transition like a pro
"Transition begins with the set-up and it's very important to keep it clean and simple," says the four-time XTERRA world champion Conrad Stolz. In the video below, he shows how to transition from the swim to the bike with maximum efficiency and minimum faff, how to set-up that rubber band and why you should start thinking about the transition while you're running out of the water.
Rotate the watch on the bike
While you can set up your smartphone on your handlebars as a secondary display during the bike stage, there are some drawbacks. Keying in a four-digit code into your smartphone is probably not something you'll want to do during a race, so disabling that and turning off sleep mode is important if you also don't want to touch the screen every time you want to see it. But then your phone battery will probably die about five minutes later! Here's a better tip, from Suunto's Markus Kemetter: "I turn my watch to the inside of my wrist. This way I can quite easily view the watch while cycling."
Pair your Suunto Ambit3
The Suunto Ambit3 can be paired with Bluetooth enabled (but not ANT+) accessories such as cadence cycling sensors, HR and power meters. "For cadence I have my Powertap P1 pedals giving both power and cadence," adds Kemetter. "The Suunto Smart Sensor is best for triathlon as it records your heartrate from the swim."

Get more out of your battery
If you've got your sights set on an Ironman and you're unlikely to break a world record, then chances are you'll need to adjust the GPS accuracy from BEST to GOOD to ensure the battery stays the distance. "This way you can get up to 15h of race time." And that should be enough for most Ironman athletes!
Add some apps
Suunto's App Zone is a unique place within Suunto's community where you can find apps to add to your watch. Useful ones for triathletes include Normalized Power, which takes account of variables like wind and hills, Average Pace Last Kilometer (see also Last KM AVG Speed) and Marathon Time, which estimates your finish time based on current pace.

BALTIMORE – After six straight non-conference games, including a three-game series last weekend at East Carolina, the UMBC baseball team returns to America East play with a three-game set at Binghamton this weekend in Vestal, N.Y. The Retrievers and Bearcats will play a single game on Saturday at Varsity Field beginning at 1:00 p.m. and follow it with a doubleheader on Sunday, scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m.
Entering the weekend, UMBC (6-15, 3-3 AE) sits fourth in the America East standings, having dropped two of three at home to Albany (March 15-16), but bouncing back to take the series against Maine the next weekend (March 22-23). In mid-week action, the Retrievers dropped a 16-9 decision at Delaware State on Tuesday, but responded with a 5-2 home victory over UMES on Wednesday behind a strong outing from junior hurler Shane Vlasic (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run).
Binghamton (6-13, 1-4 AE) lost both games of its conference-opening series at UMass Lowell and then managed to win one of three at Hartford. The Bearcats were scheduled to play at Mount St. Mary's last weekend, but the series was called due to rain. BU then shutout NJIT, 10-0, on Tuesday afternoon in New Jersey.
Game one of the doubleheader on Saturday , the nine-inning contest, will feature a pair of right-handers as sophomore Riley Stephenson (Frederick, Md./Boonsboro) takes the hill for the Retrievers while red-shirt junior Jack Rogalla (2-3, 2.08 ERA) throws for Binghamton. Stephenson (1-2) took the loss in the series opener last weekend at ECU, but has lasted at least five innings in three of his last four starts which included a five-hit shutout over 7.1 innings against UNC Greensboro on March 8.
Senior righty Mac Gill (Bethesda, Md./Walter Johnson) heads to the mound for the Retrievers in the seven-inning game two, while junior right-hander Mike Urbanski (1-1, 4.50 ERA) gets the ball for the Bearcats. Gill (1-2) had his string of six straight quality starts snapped last weekend in North Carolina, but previously limited Maine to just one unearned run on five hits in a 2-1 UMBC win on March 22. The senior has recorded a 2.20 ERA in 32.2 innings this season.
In the series finale on Sunday, sophomore lefty Joe Vanderplas (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax/Tennessee) will work for the visitors and sophomore right-hander Jake Cryts (2-3, 3.86 ERA) gets the start for BU. The southpaw held ECU to just one run on two hits over six innings last weekend and received a no-decision as UMBC rallied to tie the game in the top of the sixth. Vanderplas (0-2) has posted a 2.20 ERA and leads the Retriever staff with 12 strike outs this season and has managed to walk just four batters.
Freshman Hunter Dolshun (Warwick, N.Y./Warwick Valley) has paced the UMBC attack as of late and is riding a ten-game hit streak. The rookie infielder/catcher, who is hitting .328, went 1-for-3 on Wednesday against UMES, knocking in a run with an RBI single in the fourth. Sophomore Mark Esposito (Bethany, Conn./Amity Regional) is hitting .306 with eight RBI and eight runs scored this season.
The Retrievers are 27-of-36 in stolen base attempts this season with sophomore Kevin Lachance (Clifton, Va./Centreville) a perfect 5-for-5 on the base paths.
Daniel Nevares went 3-for-4 in the mid-week win at NJIT and leads Binghamton with a .304 batting average in 2014. The senior is tied with Bill Bereszniewicz for the team lead with 13 runs scored while he has also driven in seven runs. Bereszniewicz, meanwhile, has scampered around for two triples this season and is 6-for-9 in stealing bases.
Binghamton leads the all-time series, 37-9, with a 37-6 advantage in America East play, but the two teams split their six matchups last season. The Retrievers took two of three in Baltimore, and the Bearcats returned the favor by winning the series in New York.
- Dolshun has reached base safely in 15 consecutive games.
- Gill is scheduled to make his fifth career start against Binghamton on Saturday.
- Senior Brandon Coluccio (Freehold, N.J./Freehold Township/Brookdale CC) hit .386 (7-for-19) against Binghamton last season and was named the America East Player of the Week after the Retrievers' series win in Baltimore in March.
- Junior Jake Barnes (Annandale, Va./Annandale), who was named the America East Player of the Week on Tuesday, leads UMBC with eight multi-hit games this season.
- Lachance is hitting .364 (8-for-22) in conference play in 2014.

Don't Rev That Small-Block To The Moon. Make More Power Using . . .
One of the best ways to start any engine build is with a power goal. It's also important to be honest (or at least realistic) about the intended application. Real (meaning daily-driven, pump gas) street motors that produce an honest 1,000 hp are rare-and for good reason. The odds are bad that someone will roll up next to you at a light with 950 hp wanting to street race. The other consideration is cost. Even if we decide that 1,000 hp is necessary, not many of us can afford to build such an animal, let alone pay for the fuel and maintenance required to keep it alive. Let's face it, most of us are on tight budgets and need to make do with the most basic buildups.
Rather than go the easy Chevy route, we decided to take a look at what was available for the Ford guys-more specifically, for the big-block Ford guys. The Windsor crowd seems to get all the love recently, leaving the 429/460 Ford owners out in the cold. This big block Ford never caught on with performance enthusiasts like the big block Chevy did. The relative lack of desirability means there are plenty of rebuildable cores just rusting away in local wrecking yards. Don't bother looking for that Boss 429 or even a Cobra Jet-those are all long gone. In fact, don't bother looking under the hood of cars, period. Wander over to the area designated for trucks and marvel at all the big-block Ford performance just waiting to be unleashed. If your boneyards are anything like the ones here on the West Coast, most fullsize trucks in the yard will be sporting 460s. We like the idea of pulling a complete motor (or at least a long-block), since the assembly includes all the hard-to-find components such as a timing pointer, a distributor hold-down, and even the hundred or so retaining bolts Ford deemed necessary to secure the water pump. The local Pick-A-Part offered complete 460 Fords for the paltry sum of $245 (less $45 if you have a core). On special sale weekends, everything in the yard is 50 percent off.
As big-blocks go, the factory 460 Ford already sports some impressive displacement. Easily eclipsing the 440 Dodge, 454 Chevy, 455 Buick, and Pontiac offerings, only the massive 472- and 500-inch Cadillacs offer more displacement. The inches on the 460 come courtesy of a 4.36-inch bore combined with a 3.85-inch stroke. Though the big-bore combination suggests a candidate for high-rpm use (even more so for the smaller 429 with the 3.59 stroke), the 460 was primarily used for low-rpm towing and heavy hauling applications. As big as the 460 is in stock configuration, the best way to improve the power (and more importantly torque) output is to make it even bigger. A little math here goes a long way toward explaining the benefit of the extra inches. Suppose we choose a realistic power output of 600 hp for our street 460. Producing 600 hp from a 460 equates to a specific output of 1.304 hp per cubic inch, about the equivalent of a 400hp 302. Reaching this specific output with the 460 isn't a problem-it will just require sufficient compression, cam timing, and head flow. The downside of an elevated specific output is that the combination of compression, cam timing, and head flow might actually decrease driveability. In technical terms, the smaller the motor, the wilder the combination required to reach a given power output.
One way around the driveability issue is through increased displacement. If we retain our goal of 600 hp but increase the displacement of our motor to 557 ci, we see that we have reduced the specific output to just 1.077 hp per cubic inch (the equivalent of a 325hp 302). It is not only much easier to produce 600 hp using a 557 than a 460, but the resulting combination will offer improved torque production, driveability, and engine life owed to the decrease in operating speed. A 600hp 460 will likely make peak power at or near 6,500 rpm, while the same power output from this 557 came in at just 5,600 rpm. Obviously, a stroker kit will cost more than pulling a used 460 from the wrecking yard, but not a lot more, since Demon Engines offers low-buck stroker kits (some as low as $1,800) designed specifically for the 460 Ford. The company's 557 stroker kit (other displacements are also available) for the 429/460 Ford consists of a 4.5-inch steel crank combined with a set of 6.7-inch forged-steel H-beam rods and forged flat-top pistons from Probe Racing. Different bore sizes are available, but this particular buildup features an increase in bore size from 4.36 to 4.44 inches. When combined with a jump in stroke from 3.85 to 4.5 inches, the result was an increase of nearly 100 ci (to 557 cubes).
We followed along while Demon Engines assembled one a 557 stroker kit for a customer. This particular build included three upgrades that could be easily eliminated to reduce costs. They included a (mild) solid roller cam, a Weiand tunnel-ram, and a pair of CNC-ported ProComp aluminum heads. The ProComp heads were still high on the affordable scale, especially when you compare the flow rates with their stock cast-iron counterparts. But know that the 557 could be just as easily run with a single four-barrel intake, a hydraulic flat-tappet cam, and a pair of stock (possibly ported) iron 460 heads. The power output would be down somewhat with the stock heads, but the flat-tappet cam and single-four-barrel intake would work well on the larger motor.
The owner set a realistic goal for this particular buildup of 600 hp. More important, the idea was for the stro-ker to offer a massive torque curve that easily exceeded 600 lb-ft, as having a veritable tidal wave of torque is considerably more fun and usable on a daily basis than having a big peak power number. Think about how much time your motor spends running at the power peak compared with those short bursts through the meaty part of the torque curve. Running a big-block like this will all but eliminate the need for downshifting to get the motor up on the cam. Traction will be much more of an issue than finding enough power to pass that pesky import.
With torque production in mind, the 557 stroker kit was assembled using the Demon stroker kit, ProComp aluminum heads, and a Comp roller cam. The finished products offered a pump-gas-friendly static compression ratio of 10.3:1 (given the aluminum heads), and the tunnel-ram ensured plenty of visual appeal along with further improvements in the torque curve. With the crankcase full of Lucas Oil, the 557 eventually spit out our peak numbers of 615 hp at 5,600 rpm and 658 lb-ft at just 4,100 rpm. Torque production exceeded 650 lb-ft from 3,600 rpm to 4,600 rpm and remained above 600 lb-ft all the way out to 5,350 rpm. A similar Demon 557 stroker equipped with TFS A460 heads exceeded 900 hp in normally aspirated trim and more than 1,100 hp with nitrous, so you know the stroker assembly is plenty stout. All it'll take now is a phone call and/or a trip to the wrecking yard.
