Testing Linear Factor Pricing Models With Large Cross Sections: A Distribution-Free Approach
In this article, we develop a finite-sample distribution-free procedure to test the beta-pricing representation of linear factor pricing models. In sharp contrast to extant finite-sample tests, our framework allows for unknown forms of nonnormalities, heteroscedasticity, and time-varying covariances. The power of the proposed test procedure increases as the time series lengthens and/or the cross section becomes larger. So the criticism sometimes heard that nonparametric tests lack power does not apply here, since the number of test assets is chosen by the user. This also stands in contrast to the usual tests that lose power or may not even be computable if the number of test assets is too large. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

text: Satellite Dishes Can Turn Toxic Waste From Fracking Into Clean WaterSarah Zhang10/27/14 3:45pmFiled to: frackingsolar energyenergysatellite dishestoxic wastewater132EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink In the past few years, earthquakes in Oklahoma have been on the mysterious rise—the state has had more earthquakes than even California. Why? One big fat finger has been pointed at fracking, in which toxic wastewater is injected into wells that can leak and lubricate faults. We clearly need a better solution for this wastewater, and that solution may involve satellite dishes. Advertisement Epiphany Solar Water Systems in Pennsylvania has taken three ordinary 8-foot satellite dishes and covered them in a shiny reflective coating. If you're thinking these silvery contraptions look like solar dishes, you're exactly right. They harvest solar energy that is used to heat up wastewater. The water that evaporates off is pure—it's essentially been distilled—and you're left with a bunch of solid salts instead of toxic brine. The company's devices are currently being tested in the field by three gas companies, reports Allegheny Front. Interestingly enough, Epiphany's founder had originally conceived of the device to purify drinking water in developing countries. Then fracking, an industry with deeper pockets, came along. Advertisement To be sure, there are still plenty of challenges to making frack water treatment solutions commercially viable. Allegheny Front's radio story hits on a few other strategies for the difficult task of purifying salty wastewater that is four of five times saltier than the sea. It's certainly a noble use for the humble satellite dish, maybe even more use than becoming a Captain America shield.

To the editorIt's bad enough that the city bought a bill of goods in giving inexpensive access to city facilities for Lawrence Freenet, with the dubious promise of providing Internet capabilities to those who could not afford it, but to consider giving the morphed company, Wicked Broadband, a $500,000 grant and a competitive advantage over other local Internet providers is too much.
The city is not in the business of favoring one company over another. If it is, I want my company to get a break on all taxes, parking needs, construction permits, inspections and anything else I can think of for the next 20 years. That way, I won't have to spend the money on those items, like my competitors.
If Wicked Broadband can't get the money or terms it needs from the financial community, maybe it's not the fault of our community's commitment, but their financial structure, status and plan. The city should "just say no."

What seems to be going on with RNAi related patents in the US
Reciting Table 1 from Ref 1 and Table 3 from Ref 2:
Fire and Mello US 6,506,55: | RNAi with siRNA >24 nucleotidesr |
Tuschl et al. US 108,923 (Tuschl I, pending): | synthetic or in vitro produced siRNA 21-23 bps |
Tuschl et al US 7,056,704 and 7,078,196 (Tuschl II): | synthetic siRNA 19-23, with 3′ overhangs; |
Kreutzer-Limmer EP 1,144,623: | siRNA 15-21 bps; |
Benitec, DNA-driven RNAi DNA driven: | granted in 2003, then became under re-examination. |
By the end Nov 2008 it appears that Allele's patent (US 7,294,504 and 7,422,896) are the only currently granted DNA based RNAi patents. The focus of Allele's technology is siRNA of 21-23, either in separate sense and antisense strands, or shRNA or miRNA format, thus not covered by the Fire patent or the Kreutzer-Limmer patent. Since these RNAi inducers are not synthesized by chemical reactions, or produced with enzymes or cell lysate in vitro, they do not relate to Tuschl I or II patent groups. Allele Biotech can not guarantee that its interpretation is correct or final by any means; commercial user of any of the related technologies should perform own due diligence.

Something you should know about oligos
Oligos are made from 3' end to 5' end by nucleotide-wise coupling. Each coupling cycle involves about half a dozen moisture-sensitive chemicals and takes about 15 minutes to complete when 96 oligos are being synthesized at the same time on one machine. Like most chemical reactions, couplings do not reach 100% efficiency; in consequence, about 1% of the oligos would have an unsuccessful coupling at any given position and therefore missing that base. There are "capping" steps designed to prevent oligos having an unsuccessful coupling from continuing to elongate; but in practice, capping can only reduce incomplete oligos in the final pool, not eliminate them.
In PCR reactions, primers with mistakes typically have less chance of pairing with template than those with perfect match. Increasing annealing temperature may prevent primers with deletions from participating in PCR reactions. However, oligos that miss 5' end restriction site but have no internal deletions will not be selected against by higher annealing temperature since initial annealing is not affected. Purification of oligos by PAGE can effectively remove oligos with deletions in any position, albeit not eliminate them. For cloning purposes, purifying oligos typically makes the post-ligation steps (i.e. inoculation, minipreps, and sequencing) much easier.
At Allele Biotech Oligo Services, we use top quality chemicals from Glen Research and extensive coupling and washing steps in order to synthesize oligos with as few mistakes as chemically possible. Most oligo mistakes occur in individual molecules, which you may encounter by chance. Sequencing a few more colonies for a cloning project is the easiest and fastest way to achieve desired results if a mistake is found in the first round of sequencing. If the customer prefers remaking oligo, we honor our 100% guarantee policy with replacement of all our oligos shorter than 45 bases and the longer ones with purification. We always appreciate our customers' feedback.
General suggestions for using oligo primers for cloning
* Use more stringent PCR annealing conditions if possible.
* Purify oligos, especially long primers.
* Even though higher cost on oligos, much lower costs and less time on minipreps and sequencing.
* Since mutations happen randomly, sequence a few more colonies could result in identifying desired plasmid
Sometimes it is very difficult to clone PCR products by restriction digestion and ligation. Restriction enzymes do not cut well near the end of linear DNA even with extra bases added 5' to the restrictions sites. It is almost always helpful to clone the PCR fragment into a PCR cloning first. Cut with designed restriction enzymes and send only those showing insert of correct sizes for sequencing.
Oligo mutations augmented by E. coli during colony selection. The following was a real case using Allele oligos to create genes encoding fusion antibody chains. The strategy was to fuse a humanized antibody heavy chain to a light chain by a pair of oligos that would overlap cDNAs for both chains. The vector was pBluescript II, where insert could disrupt an expressed beta-galatosidase, thus changing the color from blue to white in the presence of IPTG and X-gal. After minipreping and sequencing dozens of colonies, all plasmids had frame-changing mutations in the junction region, which were seemingly introduced by the primers. Worrying about the oligo quality, we checked oligo synthesis records, including reagent log of that run, Trityl color indication record (indicator of coupling efficiency of up until the last base), gel pictures of oligos made in the same batch, feedback record from other customers using oligos from that day. We could not find anything unusual from the records. We decided to remake the oligos. After two weeks of work to regenerate plasmids for sequencing, the same results were obtained—all plasmids had mutations in the same region. There seemed to be nothing else we could do but to remake the oligos with somewhat different designs, e.g. shifting the overlapping regions slightly, or shortening the oligos a little bit, and performed PAGE purification this time. The results were the same once again.Then it occurred to us that maybe the expression of the protein from the pBluescript vector caused toxicity to E. coli and therefore forced the bacterial cells to either select those clones with frame-shifting mutations or create mutations by themselves during growth. Without the option of changing the vector choice, we simply used a different competent cell strain that does not support expression from the promoter on pBluescript. We did it with oligos from different preps, purified and unpurified, in an attempt to obtain as much information as possible about oligo use for our customers and our own future research.The result, all plasmids sequenced were completely correct.
Other Cloning Example Cases:
Case 1:
Aim: To synthesize a 1,650 bp gene from oligos.
Design: Design 36 overlapping oligos of 60 to 80 bases long.
Experiments: Difficult to do PCR in one piece with all oligos. Switched to 3 separate PCR for about 550 bp each.
Results: Sequenced plasmids from colonies with each of the 3 parts cloned into PCR cloning vector: Part I: 2 plasmids sequenced, both with mutations; 1 more sequenced, correct. Part II: 1 plasmid sequenced, wrong; 1 more sequenced, correct. Part III: 1 plasmid sequenced, with mutation; another sequenced, wrong; 3 more sequenced, 2 correct.
Conclusions: Mistakes coming from oligos are random, there is no prediction exactly how many colonies should be sequenced, but normally sequencing 3 in a group is a good practice.
Case 2:
Aim: To synthesize a 300 bp gene from oligos.
Design: Design 16 overlapping oligos of 60 to 80 bases long.
Experiments: PCR in one piece with all oligos.
Results: Sequenced plasmids from colonies cloned into PCR cloning vector: 2 plasmids sequenced, both with deletions; 3 more sequenced, 1 with deletion, 2 with base change; 2 more sequenced, both completely correct.
Conclusions: When luck is not on your side, sometimes a short DNA still requires a good number of colonies to be sequenced.
Case 3:
Aim: To synthesize a hypothetical gene of 1,800bp from oligo overlapping assembly.
Design: 34 oligos of about 55 bases each direction.
Experiments: Difficult to do PCR in one piece with all oligos. Switched to 3 separate PCR for about 550 bp each.
Results: Sequenced 2 colonies, 1 was perfect from one end for about 900 bases, but a number of mutations found when sequenced from the other end. The 2nd plasmid was 100% correct from the first to the last base over the entire 1.8kb region!.
Conclusions: When luck is on your side, you may hit the jack pot blind-folded.
Case 4:
Aim: PCR-clone 3 human cDNAs into a baculovirus expression vector.
Design: PCR with primers that would introduce restriction sites Not I and Xho I.
Experiments: PCR with standard procedure with high fidelity polymerase, PCR products were then run on gel and the desired bands purified by Allele DNA purification kits.
Results: Two of the 3 constructs were all correct in all plasmids sequenced. Plasmids for the other construct all showed PCR products missing half of the Not I site. Sequencing additional plasmids gave the same results. We then gel purified the primer, repeat the process, and all plasmids sequenced were correct.

Nike Hoop Summit: World Select Team Evaluations
The World Select Team struggled, failing to perform as well as I had thought they would. The athletic ability of the US team proved to be a hurdle that the international's own height advantage could not overcome. Many of these players are known as excellent shooters, but it was not a good showing offensively for most of them. Still, there is a lot of potential in the roster and a number of the players could be NBA players down the line.
Bismack Biyombo - Just as he has been for his Spanish team, Bismack was a real presence defensively for the World team. He made every basket a challenge for the USA squad. Biyombo had himself a field day defensively. He rejected anything that the US threw up within a 5-foot radius of the rim. He ended up with the first triple-double in Nike Hoops Summit history, recording 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks. Not only is Biyombo a specimen with great athleticism, strength and a massive 7'7" wingspan; but he also possesses a lot of energy and toughness. This was apparent as he simply overwhelmed any player on the US team who attempted to match up with him. Offensively, he threw down several impressive dunks, but outside of that he failed to show us anything to suggest he has much offensive potential. This was evident as he bombed from the free throw line, only making two of his eight attempts. People tend to worry about his shooting touch, and the fact that he doesn't appear to have any established post moves. Still, his physical tools and performance in this game have created a major buzz among NBA teams, and now there's some talk about him as a lottery pick in this year's draft. The big question revolves around his age. He's listed as being 18, but when asked about it, he declined comment. Scouts feel he's likely closer to 21-22, and there are some reports that he could be even as old as 23-26. If he's somewhere closer to 20, he's a likely rounder. But if it's determined he's actually in his mid-20s, it's hard to imagine him being given a guaranteed contract.
Dario Saric - Saric was the youngest player to play in the Hoop Summit this year, and he definitely showed off what makes him such an intriguing prospect. He has a fantastic natural passing ability, seeing plays before they develop. He only recorded one assist in the game, but he had several more sharp passes that his teammates were unable to capitalize on. He also displayed his great outside shooting ability, finishing 3-6 from the field, mostly on perimeter jump shots. Saric also finished with six rebounds, showing us his versatility. With his legit 6'10" frame, 7-foot wingspan, well-rounded skill set, and the fact that he just turned 17 years old on Friday, there is a lot to like about Saric's NBA potential. His athleticism is questionable, similar to Gallinari at the same age. He's a bit turnover-prone, but in a few years we could be talking about a lottery prospect.
Mateusz Ponitka - Ponitka really impressed Saturday night. He was the World team's leading scorer with 17 points. He didn't score by shooting extremely well (1-3 3PT, 2-5 FT), but he scored by using his outstanding aggressiveness. Ponitka would just put his head down and bully his way to the hoop, often finishing through contact. He also surprised us with several nice plays in transition, showing off his solid athleticism. Ponitka was just as aggressive on defense, looking to make plays and draw charges whenever possible. A lot of people (myself included) did not expect a great game from Ponitka, but he was one of the bright spots on the international roster on Saturday night.
Kyle Wiltjer - Wiltjer really wanted to have a good game and many people pegged him to lead the World team in scoring, however the future Wildcat ended up with a respectable 12 points on a significantly less respectable 15 shot attempts. Wiltjer has good shooting ability and he held his own from outside (2-6 3PT) but inside the arc he was clearly bothered by the athleticism of the US roster. Normally well-renowned for his post-moves, Wiltjer couldn't buy a bucket in the paint. Don't let this game fool you, Wiltjer is a unique talent who is going to excel at Kentucky over the next few seasons.
Evan Fournier - Fournier is a silky smooth shooting guard with balanced overall athleticism and a wide skill-set. He can handle the ball with either hand, pass and shoot effectively. His scoring ability comes from his unique talent of finding seems in the defense and exploiting them to penetrate. Fournier is very slippery in that way (similar to Brandon Roy when he was at Washington). He had a pretty lackluster showing at the Hoop Summit this year (6 points, 6 rebounds), but he's another player on this squad with legit NBA potential. It will be fun to see how he develops in the next couple years.
Przemyslaw Karnowski - Karnowski didn't have many opportunities to use his talents in this game. With his size, shooting ability and passing instincts, the World team should have looked to run a bit more of the offense through him. At 7'1", 279 lbs there was nobody on the US roster who could match up with him. Karnowski only played 8 minutes and he failed to score -- though he did have two nice assists to open shooters. His lack of foot speed and athleticism severely limit his NBA potential. He's not a likely NBA draftee.
Raul Neto - My favorite adjective for Neto would be scrappy. Although he didn't make much of an impact offensively (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT, 2 points) he played tough defensive for the duration of the 17 minutes he was in the game. He maintained a low position, moved his feet well and even picked off a couple passes. As a point guard, he has good ball-handling and passing ability (led the team with 4 assists).
Guo Ailun - The quick, athletic Chinese kid didn't have the game he wanted, finishing with only 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. He did perform well at the practices and really made an impression on a lot of people. He's a scrappy PG with a lot of confindence and an improving jumpshot. Though quiet on Saturday, you haven't heard the last of Guo.
Lucas Nogueira - Nogueira spent the week doing the things we already knew he was capable of; blocking shots and using his length/athleticism on the offensive glass. Besides that, he's a mess offensively. He displays no shooting ability at this point in his career and he's just too skinny to create his own offense near the hoop. As a 7-footer with a massive 7-6 wingspan, he projects as an NBA center but he is a long way away from being able to defend that position. Nogueira doesn't play with the same energy or toughness that you see from Biyombo, so there's very little that he would be able to offer an NBA team in the near future. He needs to learn to play with more passion, but then again he's still very young. His performance on Saturday was basically a flop. The bottom line is that he's definitely a long-term project.
Davis Bertans - Bertans looked great in the World team's practices, particularly his shooting ability. He's considered the top shooter to play for the World team since Dirk Nowitzki. He displayed fantastic footwork, form and arc and as a result he didn't miss much. However his performance in the actual game left something to be desired. He finished 3-10 from the field, 2-6 from behind the arc and 0-2 from the stripe. He also didn't contribute much in terms of playmaking or rebounding. Bertans wasn't overly effective Saturday night, but his size at 6'10" and shooting ability makes him an intriguing prospect. NBA talks are beginning to surround Bertans and when he declares he should get some first round looks.
Kevin Pangos - Like fellow point guards Neto and Ailun, Pangos struggled from the field in this game. He was 1-6 from the field and only finished with 2 assists. This wasn't his night, but like Wiltjer, Pangos will have a chance to make an impact in the NCAA next season. His strengths are tailor-made for the college game. He can shoot and handle the ball; he's a great playmaker and a hard-worker defensively. The Gonzaga Bulldogs are definitely going to welcome Kevin Pangos next season.

For giving these people the truth about Bismack Biyombo! He is an intriguing prospect, probably worth a late or maybe mid first, but lets not go overboard. Especially considering he could be Mutombo's uncle.
Awesome article Ty, Great Job! Very well done and great insight into these guys as prospects!
Aran made a few changes to the Biyombo part. The first two sentences and the last part about his age.
Other than that, I appreciate your support. Hopefully we can double-team a few more articles in the future.
Oh, and yeah. Wiltjer will be a Wildcat. Possibly for a full four years. Ben Wallace was always a favorite of mine too, but that's a pretty heavy comparison for Biyombo in my opinion.
About the double teaming and the Wallace comparison. Ben Wallace was truly a force in the league, and his strength was really on a different level than Biyombo. Than again, no one thought Ben Wallace would turn into the player he became, but Biyombo is beyond raw offensively, he makes Ben Wallace look like Hakeem Olajuwon on the block at this point. The guy has a lot of potential, but expecting anything beyond what Ibaka has brought to the table at this point is probably too much. He looks like a possibly nice role player, but I have major reservations about him playing a role similar to a Ben Wallace in his prime. Time will tell, but the kid is sushi raw at this point and he will take quite a bit of time, not to mention that his age is definitely a concern. You do not see people as physically mature as he is, and if he is actually in his mid 20's, I do not like those odds if you are expecting much out of him. Truly, one of the more confusing prospect situations in the last little while with all things considered.
If Bismack Biyombo could be another Ibaka that would be fantastic. If he's available at 17 the Knicks should take him. They are in desperate need of size. Turiaf has managed to make a great defensive impact despite possessing a fraction of the natural gifts Biyombo has. The Knicks don't need their center to get alot of touches anyways. I have no doubt Biyombo could get his FT percentage up... maybe near 70% which would make him much less of an offensive liability.
I really think the Rockets should take Biyombo. They have been looking for a player like him forever. Yeah he doesn't really have an offensive game but I think he can develop one as long as he truly is 18. A center like him does not come around too often. The rockets should take him while he is still available. I'm sure it pay dividends. A chance like this may not come around again.

Far away from home, Yuuji and Minato have carved a place for themselves in Alberta, Canada, with their new baby daughter, Yui. Yuuji works at a University, while Minato – though still as childish as ever despite being a new dad, works at the conservation center as a mediator for the better understanding between humans and Dinosauroids.
It's been a year since the contagion called X Syndrome had been unleashed on the human race. Just as distinguished government officials and police force began to regain control of the situation, the existence of the Dinosauroids became known by the academic community. Dinosauroids – while they have a tendency to possess superhuman abilities, female births are extremely rare and problematic. Which is why the existence of Yuuji (a converted female Dinosauroid), and the newly born Yui are so valuable and sought after by many – most of whom wont hesitate to resort to dubious means to acquire either one of them!
True to words, Yuuji has indeed become the beauty as many had predicted – provided he takes off his heavy glasses of course! He is never short of admirers – both males and females, including a University student Linea, and the various Dinosauroid males eager to mate with a Dinosauroid female. And this is where the role of a female in a heavily populated male Dinosauroid society comes to play. Add to that, the various nefarious people after the newly born Yui, both the parents Yuuji and Minato might have their hands full this time around as well.
This is the third and final installment of the Animal X series.

| Re: i need seats I'm interested to see what this one can pull! It's got a Dana rear end in it, and after some research I think it's over kill but better too much than too little! Good news is that all the rear end stuff if common to cars/lt trucks. About time I got a break on this thing! The hitch won't matter for much till I get the trailer built for it using the other carcass cart I have, or my yard cart to haul hay and feed. I've got the plans drawn for it, but it's not on the production schedule even close! LOL .... motor is in pieces waiting for parts right now, but she should be rarin to go then! New bearings, crank is good, piston and cylinder wall are good at .020 over, so just new rings, and some misc bits. I was a bit worried I'd find hamburger in there but it's really clean. Should be a happy little clunker in a week or so, then back to the body work and accessory lighting. Working on new vinyl top now too using the stock frame. Always something. This will be the most expensive cheap project I've gotten into since my chicken hobby! I should have stayed out on the road drivin truck so I wouldn't stay home and spend money on stuff like this! |

| Re: i need seats I was a company driver hauling steel. Crappy job. I make more money here at home now. I keep getting mad at this cart, but then I think about how good it really is for 33 years old. Those new fangled carts should last so long! And it's really something to see people's faces when they see it out somewhere. HOLY CRUD! I didn't know Harley made golf carts! LOL |

Jul 19, 2011I can't help but feel that this bands sentiments are all a little hollow. It's really pretty, catchy music but it has to lose some artistic merit points on some of the gag worthy lyrics. I'll take the new Bon Iver or Antlers over this one.
May 24, 2011Fleet Foxes are, and have always been amazing, this album is no exception. Understated, super honest, gorgeous woodsy folk from the heart. This album is a bit more subdued and humble than the previous, but no less outstanding for it.
May 4, 2011
May 5, 2011An absolutely beautiful piece of work. The only reviewers who give this album a lower rating are the mainstream magazines who are more than likely driven with the interest of profit rather than creativity. If you enjoy music that is created and spoken from the heart, then purchase this album.
Jun 30, 2011
Jul 22, 2011
May 3, 2011NME have no idea about music. The bar was set very high with the release of the first album, and they have definately delivered. If anything I prefer this to the debut. Each track sounds perfected and I haven't heard harmonies like this since the Brian Wilson led era of The Beach Boys. Absolutely fantastic
May 3, 2011
May 3, 2011From the Cover Art to the title "Sim Sala Bim", The Fleet Foxes do not disappoint with Helplessness Blues. Continually seducing the ears track after track to hold on one more note while the song blends perfectly with the next. The album is a perfect sequel to their debut. Not disappointed in the slightest.
May 4, 2011
Dec 14, 2011oh dear it would help if they wrote actual songs here but instead we' re are mistreated to song treatments, fragments if you will instead of the actual thing, all done in the inimitable style of CSN. hey deja vu all over again, it was bad the first time around, it's not getting any better this time.

May 5, 2011A full review:
â -
May 29, 2011Another great album by Fleet Foxes who play engaging, blissful tunes. A tough follow up to the debut but worth the wait. Check out band called Cloud Control (Bliss Release) if like FF.
Sep 11, 2011There are a couple of great songs here, but for the most part this album feels bland, unexciting and disingenuous in comparison to their debut. They may have extended their musical vocabulary slightly, but all it seems to have done is result in aimless instrumental portions.
Oct 3, 2011If you havenâ
May 12, 2011I was hoping for something more up-tempo in the follow up to their debut but instead, Robin Pecknold grows in his own direction, the direction the music is taking him, I think. It has so many instances of beauty and I think I shall be discovering things I like about this album (and this band) many years from now. Comparisons to Van Morrison are probably apt.
May 15, 2011
Jul 1, 2011This album is great. Every song is strong. Not as many epic songs as first album but overall I think this work is better than their debut which was also great. Well done. Definitely the best album of the year so far. I give this the #1 spot over TV On The Radio' s 9 types of light effort.
Sep 6, 2011Fleet Foxes' second album doesn't have the same impact as their debut, but still the songwriting is solid stuff and alike their debut, the album grows throughout and becomes better and better as you go along.
Nov 9, 2011
Mar 10, 2012Helplessness Blues steps up the soundscape for Fleet Foxes to a new level. The undeniable greatness of the vocal harmonies remain with new and different instrumental sounds making this album all its own. This is 2011's defining moment in music, one that deserves to be remembered forever.
May 31, 2011
Dec 30, 2011Fleet Foxes' harmonious music is a work of true craftsmanship. Helplessness Blues, like it's predecessor is an elegant and entrancing experience. It will leave you stunned and ultimately moved.
May 8, 2011The Fleet Foxes have not disappointed with this sophomore release. The harmonics are astounding as usual; the echoing lofty sounds of Robin Pecknold's voice blending perfectly with the rest of the band. The sounds are quiet, contemplative, and beautiful to listen to. I couldn't have hoped for any better after their first album, but they went ahead and delivered better anyway.
May 6, 2011It's pretty funny that the only bad review is from NME, who is showing their true biased colors after getting into words with fleet foxes after quote mining Robin and trying to make him sound like he said something he didn't. Of course he called the NME out on this on twitter and told them to remove the story. I guess they held that against them in their review.
May 6, 2011Gavin Haynes of NME is clearly not familiar with canoozing, a beloved summer pastime here in the Pacific Northwest. The former was the main point of my posting but in order to make it to 150 wordsâ
May 7, 2011
May 7, 2011
May 18, 2011Great follow-up to their debut EP & LP. I particularly enjoy "Grown Ocean" where the band seems to really let go and play with more energy. Check out my full review here: http://earbuddy.blogspot.com/2011/05/earbuddy-review-fleet-foxes.html
May 8, 2011http://audiosuede.com/fleet-foxes-helplessness-blues/ It's not quite up to the potentials of the first album, especially the first 3-4 songs, but the second half is gorgeous; stripped of its early boredom, the latest Fleet Foxes is not only brilliant but endlessly listenable. With the early issues, it's good, not great.
May 10, 2011
May 28, 2011
May 13, 2011Canoe dig it? LOLZ But in all seriousness, this is just a rehash of old folk, a good one don't get me wrong but a rehash nonetheless. The debut was out of this world and original and sadly this is just nice, affable and passable but that's it.
May 14, 2011
Jun 3, 2011extremely (and almost annoyingly) flawless and quite possibly better than their self-titled effort. Helplessness Blues is a masterpiece and one of the best albums of 2011.
Jun 3, 2011Fleet Foxes definitely have avoided the infamous "sophomore slump" that so many bands with great debuts fall into. Helplessness Blues gets better and better with each listen, and I would definitely recommend listening to it many times to discover all of the complexities and intricacies of the album.
Jun 5, 2011
Jun 7, 2011
Jun 13, 2011It's pretty rare that a band produces a second album that rivals their first one in quality. While I don't find that there is a standout single on Helplessness Blues the album as a whole just seems stronger and more mature than the s/t. Stellar sophomore album.
Jun 21, 2011Love it- they get those rich harmonies just right, with variation and catchiness in every song. Helplessness Blues goes above and beyond the bar set by Fleet Foxes' first album. A melodic and lyrical masterpiece.
Jun 29, 2011This has to be the best album of 2011 so far. Introspective, yet universal. Deep, yet accessible. Beautiful music mixed with great vocals, and amazing lyrics. It took a while for me to warm up to it, but once I did I couldn't stop playing this album over and over again. This will go down as one of my favorites for life.
Jul 26, 2011Better than the first. I heard simon and garfunkel are considering suing. Stand out tracks:Montezuma, The Plains / Bitter Dancer, Helplessness Blues.
Aug 9, 2011I found this album is a little bit more difficult to listen to than their debut, which I personally think was 100% perfect. Still, i have to take a bow before these melodies and lyrics, particularly "The Shrine/An argument", which is absolutely haunting.
Aug 30, 2011The best of 2011 for those individuals educated beyond grade 12 that don't define the quality of music by the volume of profanity contained in each song. Highly recommended!
Aug 31, 2011
Sep 2, 2011I was letdown by this follow up effort and wished it was more of the harmonic melodies on prior release. I don't see this CD as a step in right direction and hope Fleet foxes gets back to their first 2 releases pattern of beautiful lyrics and arrangements.
Oct 22, 2012Sonically compelling all throughout and endlessly unique and interesting, "Helplessness Blues" solidifies the Fleet Foxes as one of the best folk/pop/rock hybrids the world has ever seen.
Oct 4, 2011Beautiful, and nothing less, Helplessness Blues is an instant classic. Lyrically and melodically superb it is the epitome of great folk music. The first time I heard Lorelai I began to tear up, and when I watched the Fleet Foxes perform Montezuma live I cried. I really feel I can connect with this album on a personal level, and maybe that is why I find it so remarkable.
Oct 12, 2011Nearly perfect record ... adventurous and unique, this album will stand the test of time. It doesn't "rock", and there's no Stephen Stills in this band (as they are often compared to CSNY,) but it does something more. It conveys a mood brilliantly and it's parts bring together some of the most gorgeous, honest and original song writing to come along in a long, long time.
Dec 16, 2011A very solid follow up to their fantastic debut. Although it's predecessor had more catchy and instant tunes, this is a more expansive record and retains the folky style you'd associate with the band. It still has plenty of melodies and harmonies going on and is a highly enjoyable effort from the. Very interested to see what these guys do next.
Oct 24, 2011Snobbed by NME, this album is an emotional and powerful journey touching 40 years of American music:it is instant classic in an alternative way. Vocal performances make me dream and cry as few things heard before
Oct 28, 2011BEAUTIFUL, just everything I could ever want in an album, seeing them live confirmed their true musical genius. I feel as though they really tried to make this album slightly more interesting than the first, which was already great. Perhaps the most underrated track is "The Cascades", what a stunning instrumental, really takes you on a mental journey. Long live Fleet Foxes!!!
Oct 31, 2011
Jan 5, 2012This is a beautiful album, when I make a cup of coffee and put paint to canvas, nothing inspires me more than this album. I honestly thought they couldn't top thier first effort, but now I think they did. Helplessness Blues deserves a 10 and in my opinion is a tossup for best album of the year with Tom Waits 'Bad as Me."
Dec 13, 2011
Jan 12, 2014I give it a 9.75.
-Brilliant instruments (mostly acoustic guitar)
-Beautiful vocals
-Tremendous songwriting
Great album, matches with their previous one, both are fantastic and I don't think I could pick which one I like better -
Jul 1, 2013Not as accessible as their first album. Less structured and more jam-oriented, it took a few listens to really get into it. But once you stop looking for patterns, hooks, and other familiarities that we typically listen for and let yourself be carried away by the flawless harmony and imagery of this album, you'll reach the nirvana that few bands but Fleet Foxes can deliver.
Nov 17, 2013
Dec 5, 2014
Apr 21, 2015What I have to say has already been said better by others.
This album is wonderful, an amazing expression of emotion. In addition, Helplessness Blues (the actual track) is my favorite song ever written. Nothing else hits as close to home and sounds so stunning as it does.
Nothing else to say - 10/10, easily. -
Mar 17, 2017Go home NME, you're drunk. This record is filled with the experimentalist folky madness that Fleet Foxes have claimed as their own. They've definitely proven themselves a force to be reckoned with.
Awards & Rankings
Jun 30, 2011The words are as woodsy and quaint as ever. Pecknold seems to take his inspiration from classic British poetry, and rarely refers to objects, characters, or events that would place him in the 21st century, relying instead on imagery like old stone fountains, seeds, keys, sand, and the night sky.
Jun 9, 2011Where its predecessor corralled modern versions of The Canterbury Tales that the band's foxhunting moniker continues to evoke, Pecknold's Helplessness relies on a suitelike flow in the absence of greatest hits.
Q MagazineMay 31, 2011Both mysterious and inviting, Helplessness Blues retains and expands what made the debut so special. It's an open door to a private world. [Jun 2011, p.108]

Also, will they return, once removed? Can anything be done for upper eyelid droop?
Would I Be a Candidate to Have Bags Removed from Under Both Eyes at my Age (66)? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Yes, 66 is not an issue for lower eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) however, the right eyelid does show malposition which makes the procedure a bit more complicated.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com/Blepharoplasty-EyelidSurgery.html
Based on the photos you submitted, you are a very good candidate for the reduction of bags under the eyes at the age of 66. It's clear that you have light skin, some fine lines and wrinkles and even puffiness under the eyes. As a cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgeon for 20 years, I want to stress to you a couple of key elements in making the right choice when you finally decide to have the lower eyelids treated.
First of all, at this stage of your life, it would not be surprising to me if you have issues with dry eyes. Even if your eyes are watery all the time, it is common for people to have dry eyes and have reflexive tearing. The lower eyelid position is also important to get proper lubrication of the eyes. So when people have dry eyes, foreign body sensation and other problems, aesthetics become secondary. In my practice, people come to us from all around the world with one particularly common problem and that problem is lower eyelid retraction.
The lower eyelid sits against the eye like a hammock and has some key structures that need to be supported. When any type of eyelid surgery is performed, it can affect the underlying structure and support of the eyelid. When that happens, the surgeon who anticipates these issues can often do procedures to prevent these problems from happening. You have two choices: one option is the transcutaneous approach which means making an incision on the outside and underneath the eyelashes, or a transconjunctival approach which means sculpting the fat pockets from the inside of the eyelid with no outside incision.
In my practice, when someone comes to me in their 60's, very often there is looseness or laxity of the lateral canthal tendon, so I have to do some kind of canthoplasty or canthopexy type of procedure in order to support the eyelid. I look to see whether or not the skin has elasticity. Sometimes, the skin can be wrinkled and at the same time very stiff. When the skin is very stiff, it's prone to pull downward. In the attempt to remove wrinkles and improve skin smoothness, a lot of plastic surgeons will remove skin and cause the eyelids to pull down.
However, I cannot give you a clear recommendation without a proper examination. When I evaluate a patient, I look at the eyelid tone, strength of the lateral canthal tendon, and skin elasticity which can't be by just reviewing a photo. I would suggest that you do a few consultations and meet with people who have extensive experience in cosmetic eyelid surgery and are able to handle various level of complexity and complications should they occur. I hope that was helpful, and thank you for your question.
Web reference: http://prasadcosmeticsurgery.com
Age is irrelevant as to whether you can have lower eyelid bags removed. You are a good candidate for the procedure which removes fat, minimal skin and tightens the corners so the risk of lower eyelid droop is minimized after surgery. If adequately removed, the bags will not return for the remainder of your life.
Web reference: http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/eyelid.html
You might also like...
Yes, you are a candidate for lower lid blepharoplasty. To optimize your results and prevent sagging of the lower lids after the fat is removed, I would suggest fat grafting or repositioning some of the fat from your lower lids into the sulcus below the "bags" as well as a canthopexy (tightening of the lower lid) to reinforce the position of the lower lid.
Please see an expericed who is well versed in these procedures.
You do appear to be a candidate for blepharoplasty. On the lower eyelids, a combination of fat and skin would need to be removed. The upper eyelids could be improved with a forehead/brow lift and/or upper blepharoplasty. Your eyebrows are not symmetric, so this would need to be taken into account as well. If you had the procedure done, I doubt that you need to have the procedure repeated at a later date, as the results should be fairly long lasting.

'The Cape' Fan Columnist: The Dead Will Rise
Tuesday, February 15, 2011
Kevin Wohler
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
It's been a hard road for
The Cape
. The show has been struggling, but they aren't giving up without a fight. This week,
The Cape
puts things into high gear with a two-part episode that is guaranteed to kick things up a notch. But will it be enough to raise this show from an early grave?
Episode 7, "The Lich: Part I" begins the way most good stories do, with a man trying to rent a truck. But when the young woman runs his credit card, the system shows him as deceased. When she confronts the man, he blows dust in her face and apparently kills her. But he leaves her with the cryptic message: "Rejoice, my lamb. For he is risen."
Who is Janet Peck?
Vince Faraday (David Lyons) has a dream that he can't be seen by his family. Max (Keith David) wakes him to help investigate a missing body from a grave. The body belonged to Janet Peck, a friend from Rollo's (Martin Klebba) past. Looking at the unearthed grave, Vince says her body wasn't robbed. She clawed her way out. This disturbing news is interrupted when Rollo gets a call that she's been found.
Peter Fleming (James Frain) is trying to get the mayor of Palm City to approve his purchase of a port for trade, but the Port Authority secretary, Patrick Portman (Richard Schiff), doesn't want to give ARK the means to ship weapons through Palm City. Fleming makes a thinly veiled threat about "killing the deal." Portman had best watch his back.
Portman (the name is so apropos now) meets with Orwell to talk about Fleming's plans. He doesn't want Fleming to start running weapons through Palm City, but Portman has exhausted nearly every legal avenue. His one hope is the land on which the port is built.
The Chandler family owned the land, but the family all died without any heirs. The city built without ever buying the land. But Portman found a birth certificate for a baby who never appeared: Conrad Chandler. Hoping that a potential heir might gum up the works in Fleming's bid to buy the port, he hands the certificate over to Orwell to investigate.
Meanwhile, Rollo, Max and Vince find Janet, who is dirty and hiding in the back of an abandoned bus. She seems to have turned out the lights, because nobody's home. She keeps saying, "He's calling me." She starts talking about The Lich, and then lashes out at Rollo.
It's a Zombie Thang
Max says Janet's been drugged by a neurotoxin that causes paralysis and a highly suggestive state. Like in sub-Saharan Africa or Haiti. You know, like a zombie. Not that anyone's using that word.
Vince tells Max how in every precinct, there's a file for supernatural and strange occurrences. Called The Lich file, this is where the scary stuff ends up. It's all attributed to a boogeyman called The Lich.
Really? Maybe it was smart to privatize the police force. ARK may be led by a psychopath with a split-personality disorder, but they aren't playing
The X-Files
on the taxpayers' dime.
Ruvi (Anil Kumar) comes in to use his "surgical" skill of the mind to see if he can help Janet. From her mind, he gets information about The Lich. Max, Rollo, and Vince go into the tunnels to see what they can find and almost get run over.
Everyone Loves a Parade
After escaping, they discover a staging area for a terrorist attack. It seems to be connected to the Founder's Day parade. The bad guys seemed poised to use the neurotoxin used on Janet to gas the entire city. Vince, as The Cape, visits Marty (Dorian Missick) to warn him.
Orwell tracks a lead to a facility called The Orchard in Palm Ridge. A woman named Netta (Illeana Douglas) says that Conrad Chandler was abandoned there as a child. Orwell meets Conrad Chandler (Glenn Fitzgerald), who is a broken man.
The Cape shows Marty the staging area and demands that the chief of police talk to Fleming. They need to shut down the Founder's Day parade.
Ruvi seems to think that Janet is going to get better, but Rollo is pained to see his friend suffer. She is still babbling about the dead rising.
Fleming is not happy to hear that The Cape is the source of this information and demands that Marty arrest The Cape.
Chandler is not happy with the changes that have come to Palm City. He blames Fleming, who he sees as a criminal.
Even Admiral Ackbar Could See This is a Trap
Following a lead from Marty, The Cape walks into a trap and is arrested. Being driven away by Marty, The Cape realizes the hole in their logic. The terrorist plot wasn't the truck they found but something that would already be expected to be in the parade. He convinces Marty to turn the car around and head back to the warehouse where the parade floats are kept.
Back at The Orchard, Conrad Chandler is contemplating the birth certificate Orwell has shown him. He says that he has risen to punish the traitors, to reclaim his birthright. He knows that he was not abandoned. His mother had him committed.
While investigating the warehouse, Marty is attacked. The Cape saves him, and knocks out the man, who had the neurotoxin powder. But this man may not be The Lich after all.
Chandler reveals to Orwell that he has a disease that causes his flesh to rot, making him look like the dead. He uncovers his true face and shows that he is (cue music ... da da dum!) The Lich! The Lich uses his toxin on Orwell. And things look bleak.
What could be worse? How about three final words: TO BE CONTINUED ...

Red Hat Hits Road in Recruitment Drive
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Red Hat's
The Linux software company currently has 100 programmers in its Westford, Mass., office, where most of the work on its core Red Hat enterprise product takes place. It hopes to double that number by year's end. The visit was a chance for the executives of the number one Linux distributor to try to add more brain power to the group.
"I've always been excited about this talent pool," Paul Cormier, Red Hat's executive vice president of engineering, told an audience of nearly 200 people.
The event, held at a hotel on the edge of MIT's campus, is also only a stone's throw from a sizeable Novell
"We have a new competitor; we think that's good," Red Hat CEO Matt Szulik said. "We've been about choice since the company has been founded. We want to have the opportunity to compete against the best in the world."
Coming off a strong quarter in which the company notched customer wins and padded its earnings, Szulik said Red Hat would continue its strategy of working with government, education and private industry customers and partners.
In its most recent quarter, Red Hat reported revenue of $37 million, up 11 percent from the previous quarter and 43 percent from the same period a year ago. It earned $5 million during the period, up from $4.1 million in the previous quarter. The company also notched 87,000 new subscriptions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
As for Microsoft, Szulik said he doesn't expect to displace the Redmond, Wash., giant from the corporate desktop any time soon.
"The Linux client market is critically important to our future," he said. "But let's separate Hollywood from reality."
Love or hate Microsoft, corporate IT managers have already paid for
Microsoft licenses and, despite security glitches, are unlikely to run out and change, Szulik said.
Red Hat sees opportunity in security, performance and infrastructure
management areas, he said. It will continue to look at acquisitions, like its purchase of Sistina in December.
Sistina will help provide Red Hat Enterprise Linux customers with path to virtualization and vendor-independent storage solutions.
As for small and medium business customers, Red Hat will pursue them through larger partners such as HP

More from the study seminar
Last night unpacked all my purchases from the American Quilt Study Seminar in Lincoln. Hope to get photos today. Mainly I bought books this year...though the carpenter's wheel block in the photo at the top of the post was impossible for me to resist!
"Hollywood" one of the Mountain Mist Quilts recently acquired by the IQSCM
Isn't it interesting to see the solid colors that are again so popular ...it all comes back around!
After all the energy from the past few days I'm having a hard time settling in and getting back to sewing. I keep going back to my notes and checking things either online or in my collection. Hopefully I'll settle down a bit today!
Also I came back to a bit of the neighborhood crisis...leave it to say a cat-hater has threatened to either run-over or worse to any cat he finds outside. Unfortunately the two people he said it to do not know where he lives...just that he lives in the neighborhood. So I am taking it on and tonight am going door to door to find him...I waited a day to get my "Irish" under control (I came by this red hair honestly...) I am hoping it is a cultural misunderstanding and he just needs to learn that in this country poisoning another person's pet is not acceptable and if done intentionally, illegal. Realize this face to face talk was my third option...my first involved my military training, the second taking his photo and posting on warning notices around the neighborhood (I'm keeping these options in reserve!) Wish me luck....

Category Archives: Young Professionals: "UN on Tap"
This series of events brings together students, professionals and experts to discuss UN and International Issues from today's headlines in a casual social atmosphere. Read about past events here!
Young Professionals Honor AIDS Anniversary
At the UN AIDS Summit earlier this month, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on global nations to stop the spread of AIDS by 2020: "That is our goal-zero new infections, zero stigma and zero aids-related deaths," he said at the UN General Assembly meeting in New York held June 8-10 in connection with the 30 year anniversary of AIDS. While new goals were being set by global leaders, UNA-GB's Young Professionals group gathered this past week at Tommy Doyle's, a local bar in Cambridge, to discuss the AIDS challenges of today, present achievements and future goals, as well as ways they can get involved locally.
Discussion was varied and informal among the group of 26 individuals, who ranged from local and international students to working professionals. Students from Uganda shared their experience of witnessing their family members dying from the disease before the country started its fight on the government level. They said they want to encourage other nations to learn from their mistakes and promote actions to reduce HIV infections and death total from AIDS. The group expressed its concerns about the fact that the world's funding for AIDS will be reduced by 2020. Members of the group highlighted the importance of funding for AIDS service organizations and drug treatment for HIV and AIDS.
There was also some discussion about the limited successes achieved over the past 30 years in the battle with AIDS: HIV treatment has been discovered, but it only reduced the death numbers, with the virus spreading so rapidly, rather than eradicating it completely. The infections rate has been reduced for more than 25 percent in South Africa, but still 7ooo people are being infected each day, according to the UN. This global epidemic has an impact locally for the United States too – each year about 56,000 people becoming infected with HIV only in the U.S., according to the U.S. government statistics. Recently HIV/AIDS became a surging epidemic in Washington, D.C., with about 3 percent of the city's population infected with HIV or AIDS. This is the highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the nation.
Members of the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts joined the discussion, and offered perspective on ways to take local action. The AIDS Action Committee, in collaboration with other organizations, was able to reduce HIV infections rates in Massachusetts by more than 59 percent over the last 10 years. The organization focuses on prevention and spread of the virus, and provides education about free resources available to people who have HIV and AIDS. Tory Stephens, Development Officer of AIDS Action Committee, shared that the highest death rate is for African-American women in the southern region of the country because there is no funding provided for prevention, education and treatment. It is for this reason that AIDS Actions treats AIDS as a social injustice and poverty issue because people who die from AIDS don't have access to health care. The organization wants to encourage more young people to be involved in their work and extended an invitation for those at the Young Professionals event to participate in one of their future events, Artcetera, which will be a fundraising benefit for AIDS Action Committee and will help to provide medication to people who cannot afford it. This comes on the heels of their annual AIDS Walk in Boston, which was a great success earlier this month. To learn more about the organization's mission and get involved, click here.
UNA-GB's Young Professionals group meets every other month for their On Tap series at local area bars to discuss current international issues and social events.
