The last step.
Campagnolo's renowned Electronic Power Shift (or EPS) drivetrains change gears with remarkable smoothness and efficiency, but if you want to install one on a frame designed for a clamp-on style front derailleur, you're going need this to finish the job.

A truly epic piece that brings you a multitude of scenarios and themes to work with. For that evolving epic game feel, right through to a hollywood science fiction environment, this exudes power.
Utilizing a powerful horn section coupled with Hollywood strings, this piece opens with a distinct tone and develops into a high impact theme.
I have paid attention to this piece by writing its theme in two sections.You begin with an emotive science fiction like feel and then it broadens out into a strong theme with a subtle ending.
The offset time signature of this piece gives it its expectation using a 7/8 format.

New York's Rattlestick Playwrights Theater is looking to go bi-coastal and will make its Los Angeles debut in April with a production of "Slipping," starring Seth Numrich, at the Elephant Stages' Lillian Theatre in Hollywood.
The Rattlestick is a downtown New York company that produces works by emerging and established playwrights who have a certain aesthetic edge. Some of the notable writers it has produced include Adam Rapp, David Adjmi and Jon Fosse.
"Slipping," by Daniel Talbott, is scheduled to officially open April 6 at the Lillian and will run through at least May 5. The play tells the story of a homoerotic relationship that develops between two high school students who will be played by Numrich and MacLeod Andrews.
PHOTOS: Arts and culture in pictures by The Times
Both actors appeared in the play when it ran at the Rattlestick in 2009. Numrich played the lead in the original Broadway cast of "War Horse." He recently appeared in the Broadway revival of Clifford Odets' "Golden Boy."
Brian Long, the managing director of the Rattlestick, said in a phone interview that the goal of establishing an L.A. presence is to give its playwrights exposure to people in the film and TV industries.
"We want to support our playwrights in all ways," Long said. He said the Rattlestick isn't entering into an artistic partnership with the Elephant Theatre Co. and that it will be a space rental situation.
"It will be an experiment for us to see how we manage the process. If it goes well, we would like to do more," Long said.
The Elephant partnered artistically with New York's LAByrinth Theater Co. in 2010 to create co-productions.
This month, the Rattlestick will stage a new play in New York by actor Jesse Eisenberg called "The Revisionist," which will star Eisenberg and Vanessa Redgrave.

Since the news broke about the so-called PRISM surveillance and data collection program run by the NSA, we've received a lot of questions regarding whether Internet companies can be forced by the government to access and disclose data that is stored by customers in the cloud or in dedicated environments.
It is Rackspace's policy that it will not access, transfer or deliver data stored on servers by Rackspace's customers in response to any government authorities other than pursuant to a properly issued, lawful request from appropriate law enforcement officials or other order from a competent body from the country in which the servers are physically located. This applies to requests from law enforcement and includes those made under the Patriot Act. Our customers have full care, custody and control over their servers and the data that is stored on those servers – Rackspace does not have that control.
Rackspace has not participated in any data mining or collection of customer data located within its hosted environments for U.S. law enforcement or security agencies, including the PRISM program. We are adamant about protecting the privacy rights of our customers and we continue to enforce policies to ensure customer-owned data is secure.
For a more detailed look at our approach to the issue and our view of the law, please see my post in the Rackspace Open Cloud Community.

Claudio Recchi on 'Uka Uka Racing' wins the Cagliari edition of the Melges 32 Audi Circuit 2008
29 June 2008
The three way battle for supremacy in the Cagliari edition of the Melges 32 Audi Circuit 2008 between Claudio Recchi on Uka Uka Racing, Savino Formentini s Bitipi and Stefano Leporati's Kismet and went down to the wire on the third and final day.
After six races Uka Uka Racing held a tenuous one point lead over Bitipi who in turn were only two points ahead of Kismet . All three teams knew that they needed strong results on the final day to challenge for the title.
Race one started in a gentle six to seven knots, flat seas and under bright blue skies. The earlier than normal start time had to be delayed by around thirty minutes to let the breeze settle. Soon after the start, however there was a significant right hand shift and an increase in pressure which seemed to catch out the three boats fighting for the overall title.
First over to the right to take advantage of the shift and the new pressure were Armando Giuletti's Hiroshi – Citta di Milano, Luigi Melgari's Matrix and Michael Illbruck's Pinta. This pack rounded the top mark in that order, hoisted and immediately rolled into a gybe before setting off down the slightly one sided run.
Behind them Uka Uka Racing who rounded in fifth were keeping a close eye on their two challengers – Bitipi and Kismet who were in sixth and seventh respectively. These positions and those of the leaders remained the same at the leeward mark rounding.
With the wind going further right still on the beat, it was a case of the rich getting richer as the leaders were able to get out to the starboard layline for the changed windward mark and use maximum leverage to extend their lead. At the top mark Hiroshi – Citta di Milano rounded first and went on to take a comfortable win ahead of Matrix and Pinta. Amongst the overall leaders Uka Uka Racing held on to their fifth place, Kismet came through in seventh and Bitipi had their first poor result of the series with a ninth.
At this stage and with only one race to go Uka Uka Racing and Bitipi were tied for the overall lead on sixteen points.
In the final race, Matrix rounded off a near perfect day with a comprehensive win. Leading around every mark they kept a close cover on Kismet who took second place. Pinta posted another third place for the day. The Bitipi challenge for first overall faded when they could only manage a seventh place.
This meant that Uka Uka Racing, placing fourth in this race were able to claim victory in the Cagliari Melges 32 Audi Sailing Series 2008. Stefano Leporati's Kismet by virtue of their 1,2 for the day had moved up to take second overall. A ninth and seventh on the final day meant that a disappointed Savino Formentini on Bitipi dropped to third.
Luigi Melegari's Matrix who won the Malcesine event and finished fourth in Cagliari continues to lead the overall regatta series standings with Uka Uka Racing and Kismet second and third respectively.
As press releases, results and photos are made available, they will be posted online at the official web site of the INTERNATIONAL MELGES 32 CLASS ASSOCIATION.
Melges Europe and the Melges 32 European Class are grateful for the continuing support of their title sponsor Audi and also to Moby Lines for their generous assistance with the transportation of the fleet to Sardinia.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND - Tommy Gainey was surprised to learn that no South Carolinian has ever won the RBC Heritage.
Gainey, a Bishopville native who finished third at Harbour Town last year, intends to change that.
"It is shocking to me that nobody from South Carolina has won this thing," Gainey said after carding a second consecutive 1-under 70 on Friday. "But hopefully I can be the first South Carolinian to win. That would be awesome in itself."
Gainey shot a 3-under 68 in Saturday's third round to move to 5 under for the tournament. He completed his round in a tie for seventh, though he was eight shots off the lead with several groups still on the course.
Several players with Lowcountry connections made appearances at the Heritage this week, but they failed to move up the leader board.
Beaufort's Mark Anderson shot rounds of 73, 71 and 69 to sit at even par through the first three rounds. Kyle Stanley of Berkeley Hall was 3 under after the front nine Friday, but he struggled to finish at 5 over by the end of Saturday's round. Corbin Mills, a Clemson junior who won the 2011 Players Amateur in Bluffton, missed the cut Friday at 4 over.
Everything seemed lined up for Luke Donald this week.
After three rounds, however, it looks like he'll lose his spot atop the world golf rankings. Donald entered the Heritage ranked No. 1 in the world, and he had finished no worse than third at Harbour Town in his last three appearances. But he struggled with his short game around the course's small, firm greens and enters the final round at 2-over par.
Unless Donald can somehow rally to a top-eight finish, the idle Rory McIlroy will ascend to the top spot in the world. Donald, who shot a 4-over 75 on Thursday, was tied for 61st when he finished his round early Saturday.
He said early this week that he wasn't focused on the ranking, which he briefly lost to McIlroy early this season before he won the Transitions Championship.
"Now that I've been No. 1 for a number of weeks now, it's not something I think about too much," Donald said. "Obviously my focus this week is just trying to win the tournament."
The group of Bob Estes, Billy Mayfair and Charlie Wi provided two of the early rounds' biggest moments.
Mayfair delivered the first hole in one of the tournament Thursday, acing the par-3 seventh with a 5-iron from 202 yards out.
"The back left pin on No. 7 where Billy made his, you're hardly ever going to see a hole in one there, and he made it," Estes said.
Estes matched Mayfair one day later. His hole in one came on the par-3 fourth, using a 6-iron from 184 yards away.
"That's one of the hardest par-3s you're going to see," he said. "The greens are really firm. It was 173 to the front (of the green) and 184 to the hole, so I was trying to carry it in that 178-range, and I pretty much hit that number. And then it rolled in. I told it to go in and it did, so it listened."
Estes joked that he and Mayfair looked to Wi to make it a trifecta before their second round ended Friday.
"So obviously when I made mine, it was Charlie's turn next," Estes said. "But he didn't get one."

(Reuters) - A Medicare advisory panel on Wednesday expressed skepticism that brain scans using radioactive imaging agents can affect health outcomes of people with early symptoms of memory and cognitive problems.
The medical panel's lack of confidence could deter reimbursement for Eli Lilly's recently approved Amyvid, an imaging agent used to detect levels in the brain of plaque made from beta amyloid protein. The plaque is considered by many researchers to be a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

Green tie front blouse and skirt with box pleats
Added Jun 4, 2013
by liliv-1
Athens, Greece
Hi!! This top is based on model 101 from Burda magazine 7/2007 (you can see my other project based on this pattern here: http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/tie-front-gathered-plaid-blouse?all_images=1#project-shot-all
I altered a little the neckline because it was low and I added a bow tie instead of the band collar. I also made short sleeves gathered at the bottom with elastic.
The skirt is based on an ancient burda magazine model, I can't remember which one. I made this two piece outfit two years ago (then I was thinner), the skirt was short but had enough ease, and everything was ok.
This summer, after the consumption of some millions of calories, I tried again the outfit. You can see the bringing-tears-to-the-eyes result at the last picture: The skirt had not a single cm of ease and was lifted up. But, lucky me, I had kept the remnants of the fabric! I added a rectangular piece at the bottom of the skirt and made two box pleats at both front and back. I think that now it is much better!! Still the skirt is very tight so I plan to redo the side seams and give it some ease. The top is also a little tight now, but I can't do anything about it: it has nearly zero seam allowances.
Thanks for looking!
P.s. My next project is sewing my lips together:P

Thank you very much dear kisses! You, and some other fellow seamstresses, made me blush with your comments about the last sexy photo!! When I wear it some days before I wanted to cry, I felt so fat!! I had it in this legth for two years and enjoyed wearing it, but it was not so tight and short! I agree it is sexy in the last photo: the skirt is as long as a tunic and so tight that the fabric is ready to explode:P. I would keep it this way if I was a little younger and my lifestyle was different;)
I' m very glad you liked the neckline and the box pleats, I think I will wear it a lot to go to work this way:)

You really make me smile, and I hope you never do that "next" project! I love this color and your resourcefulness – the skirt looks just great with the new pleats! I'm sure if you thought long enough you could come up with some alteration for the top – perhaps some green lace in the same hue? It's a lovely outfit!

Thanks a lot dear BeeZee! Some lace would be great but it's impossible to find the same exactly shade of green. But I have some more fabric left ….. if you have some refashioning idea for it tell me please!
I wish I could make the "sew my mouth closed" project. It would take less time than altering all my fitted clothes!

Difference between revisions of "San Clemente"
Revision as of 23:12, 11 January 2013
San Clemente is a city in at the beach in Orange County in Southern California.
Get in
Get around
The San Clemente Pier
The beach is the largest attraction in San Clemente. If you're artsy, there's usually a good exhibit going on at the Casa Romantica, former home of San Clemente founder Ole Hanson. Local teens tend to venture north to the Kaleidoscope or the Irvine Spectrum for entertainment, but the local movie theater, the Krikorian, is relatively cheap and well-run.
Avenida Del Mar street is the heart of Village San Clemente. There are a lot of charming shops, cafés, and restaurants on this historic stretch. If you are looking to bring something for the kids, just stop in Petit Bonhomme. They have reasonable prices and they carry from infants up to size 16 for both boys and girls. If you are looking for a souvenir, they have adult and matching kid button up shirts boy the men and dresses for girls with all the local cities from San Clemente to Laguna Beach. For the older kids, there is Killer Dana for the sporty beachy wear and lots of cute stuff for the ladies at shops like Rascal's,Angel Wings and Bliss which is more upscale. There are a lot of stores with fun home décor items like Christopher Lee Ltd. They carry beautiful items. Visit Russel's Stationary for your souvenirs like shells and shirts and lots of other items. There are a lot of cute antique stores up and down Del Mar that you should at least poke into. They even have ice cream and sandwiches. Right next door is Auntie Dee's Jerky Store. They have all sorts of goodies including vegan beef jerky.
There are a variety of local restaurants that are fairly priced and simply delicious.

Model risk management keeps banks ahead of the regulators
The current mantra from regulators in the US and Europe is simple: "Know your models"
by David Rogers, Global Risk, SAS
In the years since the credit crisis of 2008-2009, a new set of regulations emerged from the rubble. While these regulations have different names and principles, one thing is clear: those at the helm of banks large and small are unsure how to go about their business when the regulatory landscape is shifting.
Before consumers – and regulators – can put their full trust in banking institution, there's another trust issue at play, this time from within the organization. Executives need to trust the various models used to aid, or in some cases make, the decisions that drive a financial institution.
[New] guidelines advise local regulators to challenge executives to take responsibility, asking, in effect, if senior management understands the degree of model risk in measurement of credit, market and operational risk.
Traditionally, a bank's decision makers have limited access to information around the very models they use on a daily basis. While the core design of a model may be the domain of an expert-level analyst, elements like the origin of the models, how they impact the business and their history should be accessible to all management.
In many large financial institutions, the context behind these models is often hidden. The model metrics – and documentation of how the model was created and maintained – is often buried behind a complex web of people and systems.
This dynamic doesn't just flummox management. Regulators have been playing catch up on the use of models within banks. But with a new set of regulatory tools and an increase in expertise and resources, regulators are becoming more aware of the models and can pose more specific, engaging questions about how banks represent their data.
The US Federal Reserve started this trend, issuing the SR Letter 11-7 Supervisory Guidance on Model Risk Management. The European Banking Authority (EBA) followed with Model Risk assessment guidelines to country regulators for SREP, issued in December 2014.
The EBA's guidelines show the new supervisory dynamic facing executives. The guidelines advise local regulators to challenge executives to take responsibility, asking, in effect, if senior management understands the degree of model risk in measurement of credit, market and operational risk (paragraphs 188, 233f).
In the EBA report, the authority outlined specific areas that are part of assessments. The list includes (with relevant paragraphs in parentheses):
- How are model risks in credit and market risk assessed within capital adequacy assessment as well as other models covered under operational risk? (235b)
- To what extent does bank use models to support significant business decisions? (264)
- How sound are model validation and review process? (285)
- What are model risk control mechanisms and how are these tested? (265)
- How significant is model risk? Includes sensitivity, scenario and stress testing. (267)
In response to these supervisory guidelines, larger banks will need to look to improve their organization and systems. Many impacted by the US Fed guidance on model risk management are setting up a central model management function that has global reach but allows the local function develop models that reflect the data and level of sophistication for each local area.
Companies like Discover Financial Services are at the forefront of the new dynamics in model risk. They are using SAS® Model Risk Management to make their process more efficient and effective for managing model information.
Through a more centralized approach, Discover's risk management group can now see what is happening across units and provide recommendations on issues, such as when a model should be retired. Individual business units can also make informed decisions about the value of borrowing an existing model (instead of building their own), because they can "peek under the hood" and see what the model can or cannot do.
Regaining trust in the models used to support bank decisions needs to be built on the most up-to-date enterprise level repository of information about the model itself. This is where "knowing your models" comes into play. And it's where SAS Model Risk Management plays a role in keeping all parties informed.

Yesterday, I noticed that a neighbor, whom I had previously noticed enjoyed flying the Stars and Stripes on his front yard flag pole, had added a new banner to the display: the Israeli flag, flying above the U.S. flag on the same mast.
My wife, who does a better job of keeping her finger on the pulse of the right wing, suggests Glenn Beck has been encouraging this behavior.
I don't know my neighbor's religious or socio-political beliefs, but I imagine the "logic" or "reasoning" goes something like this:
Assuming "he" is right-wing, Christian or both,
1. Islamic states/Islam/Muslims are Israel's enemies, and they are Christian America's enemies, therefore Israel is our friend. (The enemy of my friend is my enemy.)
2. Israel is the national home to Jews, the Christian/Jewish god's chosen people. So, even though they don't know Jesus is Lord, they flags flyer support the Jewish homeland, since Jesus's dad is also father to all Jews and Christians.
What does it mean?
that is disgusting. however, i'm sure sam harris would be proud.
welcome bl
i think your wife is probably right about the general source. no doubt she has a stronger stomach than i do, fox network is blocked in my house.
at least you now know your neighbor is a treasonous idiot.

We were expecting the new Sony PS Vita console to launch before Christmas, the other day Sony announced that it wouldn't launch in the US and Europe until 2012, although they did not mention an exact launch date.
Now it would appear that the Sony PS Vita will launch in the US on the 30th of March 2012, according to the guys over at Xbit Labs, this is quite a delay from the original December release we had heard and we would have thought that the early 2012 that Sony mentioned would have been around January.
With Sony releasing the PS Vita in Japan in December, three months later in the US and UK seems like quite a while to wait, no doubt we will see a number of grey imports turn up in these countries from Japan before Sony releases the consoles in the US and UK.

On average, Australians earned $51,923 in Wages and salaries income in 2010-11. Table 1 shows the Australian Capital Territory with the highest average of $60,987, followed by Western Australia ($57,365) and the Northern Territory ($54,082). 2010-11 was the first time in recent years that New South Wales missed the 'top three'.
The lowest average Wages and salaries income levels were recorded by Tasmania ($43,521) and South Australia ($46,551).
Average Wages and salaries were higher in the Greater Capital City Statistical Areas than the rest of each state or territory. This held for all jurisdictions. The difference was most pronounced in New South Wales, with average Wages and salaries for Greater Sydney ($57,612) exceeding the Rest of NSW level ($46,514) by $11,098 for 2010-11. The gap narrowed for Tasmania with an average Wages and salaries income differential of just $3,871 between Greater Hobart and Rest of Tasmania.
The largest percentage of Australia's 10 million Wage and salary earners were found in New South Wales (31.3%), Victoria (24.7%), Queensland (20.1%) and Western Australia (10.8%), reflecting the larger populations in those states. Table 1 summarises the key findings for 2010-11.
Table 1. WAGE AND SALARY EARNERS SUMMARY, AUSTRALIA, 2010-11
Table 2. PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION OF EARNERS, SELECTED WAGES AND SALARIES INCOME RANGES, AUSTRALIA, 2010-11
At the higher end of the income range, 18.5% of Wage and salary earners in Australia received $78,000 and over. Of all jurisdictions, the Australian Capital Territory was the highest, with 28.6% of its Wage and salary earners reporting incomes of $78,000 and over - followed by Western Australia (23.9%) and the Northern Territory (21.1%). The Greater capital city regions tended to have a higher percentage of high income earners with the exception of Western Australia - where 24.0% of Wage and salary earners in the Rest of Western Australia reported incomes of $78,000 and over, compared with 23.8% for Greater Perth.
Additional analysis, state and sub-state breakdowns and datacubes, are available in Wage and Salary Earner Statistics for Small Areas, Time Series, 2005-06 to 2010-11 (cat. no. 5673.0.55.003).

Governor Deval Patrick vowed Thursday to veto the transportation finance plan backed by the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate if it lands on his desk as currently proposed.
"I'm going to veto that bill if it comes back to me in its current form, and then we'll go from there," the governor said on his monthly radio show on WGBH-FM.
Although Patrick has been vocal about his displeasure with the legislation, it was the first time he had formally issued a veto threat and his comments made clear the sharp disagreement he has with House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray.
The governor argues that the bill supported by those two leaders, which includes $500 million in higher taxes on cigarettes and gasoline, does not raise enough money to upgrade and expand crumbling roads, rails, and bridges. He wants legislators to raise the gas tax even higher.
But DeLeo and Murray have said they will reject his amendment for a higher gas tax next week and send him the bill as it is currently written. At that point, Patrick said, he would veto the measure and send it back to the Legislature.
The veto could buy the governor more time to press his case with lawmakers, but could also prolong the standoff with DeLeo and Murray and does not appear likely to produce a different outcome.
Murray and DeLeo have said they have enough support among their membership to override a veto and make the bill law without Patrick's signature.
Patrick said Thursday that it has been difficult to get rank-and-file lawmakers to consider his plan, given DeLeo and Murray's staunch opposition.
"It is fair to say the speaker and the Senate president are pretty dug in on the transportation bill as it is right now," said Patrick. "That doesn't mean I have to agree, because they're dug in. It does mean I have to try to get their members to stand up to their leadership, and I am under no illusion about how hard that it is to do."
Despite his standoff with legislative leaders, he said he has no animosity toward them. He said he had spoken to DeLeo Thursday morning. "This is a policy difference; it's not a personal one," the governor said.Michael Levenson can be reached at mlevenson@

Kenny Chesney Schedules Benefit Concert With Michael Douglas and Morgan Freeman
Just because he is one of country music's busiest artists doesn't mean Kenny Chesney doesn't have time to give back to those in need. On May 26, the singing superstar will team up with award-winning actors Michael Douglas and Morgan Freeman for the PLAN!T NOW non-profit organization, which was designed to help those affected by the flurry of natural disasters in the past several months.
Of course, the concert is just one way of raising money that week -- the 11th Annual Michael Douglas & Friends Celebrity Golf Tournament, which is co-hosted by Freeman. Chesney's concert will be held at the Atlantis, with all of the proceeds benefiting PLAN!T NOW.
Chesney has been a longtime supporter of the organization and has granted over $100,000 in scholarships to students impacted by severe weather events over the past several months.Those who wish to contribute to PLAN!T NOW can visit their official website by clicking here.
A month following Chesney's PLAN!T NOW performance, he will link up with Tim McGraw on the Brothers of the Sun Tour. The 20-stadium trek has already become one of the summer's best-selling tours, raking in over 600,000 tickets sold to date. In other Chesney news, look for him to drop a brand new record on June 19.

|Jillian Harris
WetPaint Entertainment: What inspired you to go "under the knife" as they say?
Jillian Harris: Well, I had had my nose broken before years ago and my mom said a few times that my nose was different than it had been, and I guess I was just used to it and so it didn't really bother me. And then sadly, actually, when I was going through my breakup with Ed Swiderski. I was really sad and was reading someone's blog and this person was really nasty and was posting really mean comments about my nose.
What do you say to fans or critics who say that you do look a lot different than when you were on the Bachelorette?
Jillian Harris: I do realize I look different. Ever since I have been in this industry, I have been taking incredible care of my skin. I get microdermabrasion every three months, I do my makeup differently... I do think I look a lot different than I did when I was on the show. I was a little bit chubbier when I was on it, I wasn't as lean, so my face looked a little bit wider. My eyebrows were shaped differently, my nose was different... I understand it.
Would Jillian ever do plastic surgery again? "I've never had any other plastic surgery done, no. No, I have no plans," Jillian Harris says. "Maybe when I'm 40, I'll reanalyze the situation. But for now, I'm happy."

When it comes building a retirement-income portfolio, retirees are often faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge: They have to figure out how to generate enough income from their nest egg to support their desired lifestyle and do so without running out of money over the course of their household's lifetime.
And on paper (and in reality) it's difficult to do both; you seemingly have to sacrifice one goal in favor of the other. Either you draw down enough income from your retirement accounts to support your lifestyle and risk outliving your assets or you reduce your standard of living in retirement and sleep soundly at night knowing that you will never run out of money.
A new study from Rob Isbitts, the founder and chief investment strategist of Sungarden Investment Research suggests that it might be possible to have your cake and eat it, too. By combining traditional investing with alternative investing, or what's called hedged dividend investing, you can generate income and preserve capital. Plus, you can have long-term growth and liquidity and do so without having to spend a fortune on this strategy.
"The most vital and pervasive issue retirees will face in the next decade is how to wring out enough income from the savings they have amassed to maintain or enhance their lifestyle," wrote Isbitts. "They have been presented with an enormous amount of information from financial advisers and financial media, but finding confident solutions to their issue is proving elusive."
Existing solutions fall short
According to the paper, "The Sungarden Study: Combining Traditional and Alternative Investing to help Address the Retirement Income Problem," retirees can no longer rely on using high-quality bonds to generate income in retirement. That mainstay of retirement-income planning for the past three decades now poses, Isbitts wrote, a significant challenge in the form of historically low investment income rates. What's more, the potential exists for interest rates to rise, which would push bond returns into negative territory, wrote Isbitts. And that would complicate the ability of retirees to invest effectively in retirement.
In addition, Isbitts wrote that traditional a stock-and-bond portfolio (the sort built using modern portfolio theory), or target-date funds, or bond ladders offer some benefit, but often fall short of being comprehensive. "They (don't) sufficiently guard against both interest rate risk and risk of a major stock market decline," he wrote. (Read an excerpt from the study, Chutes and Bond Ladders.)
And that leaves the door open, he wrote, for innovative solutions which take advantage of current conditions instead of assuming that past will be prologue. "It's our view that one relevant solution to today's retiree predicament involves pairing together two 'natural enemies' — dividend-oriented stocks and a 'hedge' which effectively moves counter to the broad stock market," he wrote. "Essentially, a long-short portfolio whose long side aspires to produce a competitive income yield and a short side which aims to reduce the impact of major market declines."
And it is this long-short approach that focuses more on income than most traditional and alternative investment products today that should replace the stock-bond combination used by many retirees, wrote Isbitts.
Want proof? In his study, Isbitts took the basic underpinnings of long-short approach and "stress tested" it over the past 20 years to see how the concept stacked up against traditional investment approaches.
In his study, he constructed an index (the Sungarden Hedged Dividend (SHD) index) with 80% allocated to the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, an index which includes members of the S&P 500 that have increased their dividend payments each year for the past 25 years, and 20% allocated to a mutual fund — the Rydex Series Trust Inverse S&P 500 RYURX, -1.29% — that aims to move in the exact opposite direction of the S&P 500 SPX, +1.32% . And then he established a protocol for rebalancing the index; anytime the allocation moved outside a five percentage point threshold.
And what he discovered is this: His SHD index outperformed the traditional 60%/40% allocation over 20 years, (8.65% vs. 8.2%) and other indexes, particularly on a risk-adjusted basis. In addition, the risk-adjusted return figures showed that the SHD index produced an "alpha" of nearly 3% over the S&P 500. In other words, the returns of the SHD index vs. the stock market were driven in large part by the "skill" of the simulation, wrote Isbitts.
"This is perhaps the strongest evidence in the study that adding a hedge component to an equity portfolio has the potential to produce enormous value to the investor when consistently executed over long market cycles," wrote Isbitts.
And one of the key takeaways of his study is that investors should consider replacing their bond exposure with a hedged dividend strategy, according to Isbitts. "This can help shield them from the worst impacts of rising rates (by avoiding bonds) and stock market turmoil (since the inverse position offsets some of the damage to the stock portfolio in bear markets), wrote Isbitts.
What about the income forgone by not using bonds? Well, that, he wrote, is replaced and potentially exceeded by the dividends produced from the stock portfolio.
In fact, retirees would have been able to withdraw 4% a year from their nest egg to support their lifestyle given that the SHD index generally had returns greater than 8% a year over the time over the time period studied.
To be fair, there were times in Isbitts' back testing when the SHD index produced returns that were highly inferior to those of the broad stock market. And given that, Isbitts suggested that investors should not blindly follow this two-security model.
"Rather, they should glean from (this study) the idea that combining dividend-oriented stocks with a hedge on the broad stock market is a viable approach, but is not complete without an active management component," Isbitts wrote.
According to Isbitts, that active component is a matter of personal choice; it could either be a more rigorous, research-driven stock selection approach or more of an "overlay" on top of the basic long-short investment mix.
At the moment, some might say that Isbitts is ahead of his time, but that's not his point of view. "It's our view that hedged dividend investing is a concept whose time has come," he wrote. "Amid the opaque collection of strategies essentially being rebranded as 'retirement-income' portfolios, we think that a combination of a back-to-basics approach to the attractions of equity dividends, married with the straightforward approach to volatility management described (in this study) offers tremendous benefits for retired and pre-retired investors."

Possible hip replacement
September 05, 2006, 03:56:17 PM »
I just found out that I have a degenerative hip that has resulted in considerable bone on bone contact. I am being scheduled to see an orthopedic Dr to discuss my treatment options.
I am almost certain that replacement surgery will be recommended.
My questions are....
What type of experiences has anyone had with this procedure?
What time frame for rehab?
How were your workouts effected, post-op?

How old are you? Unfortuately, they only last 10-15 years, but fortunately, if you're young, the recovery and healing shouldn't be too horrific (unlike the procedure itself
) Plan on a significant amount of atrophy on the side that is replaced. Therfore, it wouldn't be a bad idea to build up your legs and glutes as much as possible before going in - if that's even possible
You might be in too much pain as it is to do that.
Probably 3-6 months for recovery and about a year to work up into heavier loads. The lack of pain will be very inspirational tho. Single legged movements (squats, presses, exensions, X-band walks) will help the recovery and strength building process. Loading the spine will be out of the question for a long time.

Thanks for your reply. I am 41yrs old. Thankfully, my legs are quick to respond to training and have been one of my better bodyparts.
What exactly did you mean by, "Loading the spine will be outta the question for a long time?"

Namely conventional squats. Don't worry, there are plenty of modifications that can be made.

Immediately after surgery you are not allowed to flex your hip past 90 degrees, no aduction (crossing your legs) and no rotation. This is so you don't dislocate the prosthesis. We usually get people out of bed day 1 post-op (depending on if you needed a blood transfusion) and people go home from the hospital by day 3-7 depending on thier mobility. When you leave you should be independent with crutches on stairs and on the flat. Some people are full weight bearing and some are partial, depending on the surgeon's preference. If you are FWB you won't lose as much mass.
Exercises you will be given are hip flexion to 90 degrees, hip abduction and quads exercises. The surgeons usually follow up after 6 weeks to check wound healing etc. By 6 weeks you might be walking with 1 crutch or on your own. If you are generally fit and well, 3-6 months is a good time frame to get back to normal, like Princess L said. You will have to avoid the positions of dislocation though so no squats in the gym. A physio should be able to help you out though with what you can/can't do.
I have seen one guy who was 40 and got his hip done. He had a SUFE when he was young and pins in both hips already. He went home on Day 3 and did very well afterwards. Sometimes a new hip can last upwards of 15 years - it all depends what you do with it. Replacing the individual components is straightforward though

When other therapies fail to provide relief from the pain of a damaged hip, hip replacement may be the answer. Hip replacement called total hip arthroplasty can relieve pain and give you back the range of motion you need to go about your daily tasks. But hip replacement surgery isn't without risks. Find out what to expect from hip replacement surgery and weigh the benefits and risks to decide if it's right for you.
Who is hip replacement for?
Hip replacement is usually considered once other therapies, such as pain medications, have failed. Most people undergo hip replacement as a result of osteoarthritis of the hip joint. But you might also consider hip replacement if you experience severe pain, loss of motion or deformity of your hip joint. Hip replacement is also used in people with hip injuries, rheumatoid arthritis and other medical conditions, such as a bone tumor or bone loss due to insufficient blood supply (avascular necrosis).
You might want to ask your doctor about the possibility of hip replacement if you frequently experience any of the following:

Go on Clarence Bass's site. He had hip replacement. It was done with the newest and least invasive technique. I think the site is cbass.com. Sometimes I wonder if squats are bad for the hip joint. I think Paul Anderson and John Grimek both had hip replacement. Anderson squatted around 1200 pounds. Grimek competed in the Olympics in weightlifting in 1936 I believe. He was also the only 2 time AAU Mr. America. After him they said you can only win once. Grimek squatted heavy weights well into his 70;s.I often wonder if heavy squats accelerate the wear and tear on the joint. I have hip pain at 47 and I have been squatting since I was around 13. I noticed with a bad hip that leg presses don't bother it all. Squatting machines like Powertec and Tuffstuff don't seem to aggravate the joint either.

Thanks for all the great responses. To update, my orthopedic gave me a cortizone injection, into the bad hip joint. His thoughts are that at this stage, if the injections will "manage" the pain for 2-3 months, I can repeat the procedure and prolong the need for the replacement surgery.
Any thoughts on this treatment and/or the theory behind it?

Hey, I'm right there with you on this..I found out last week...my doc says my rt hip is like that of a 76 yr old...I'm only 46 yrsd old but have been powerlifting for 30 yrs already.....a new hip socket insert and ball insert is the way to go. I'm not scheduling this anytime soon but,....doc says within 5 yrs, much less if I continue lifting....the problem is that I can't get squat depth on the right side...plus there is shear agony getting up after I sit for more than 10 minutes. I'm researching it now and seeing what all the options are....that surgery is last on my list..if it means laying off a year; so be it.....I should have done that before. Ricky Crain had his rt hip replaced in the summer of 2006....he says he;s just over 500 lbs now on his squats; that's encouraging; of course he was about a 750-800 lb squatter. There's a guy in the last issue of Poerlifting USA page 88, 54 yrs old says he deadlifted 523 lbs 10 months after hip replacement....that's encouraging too. Stay away from cortisone...it's just a mask and will in most cases accelerate the issue by breaking down tissue. Visit
Committees/Medical...then Dr Mike Hartle article...pretty much spells it out. keep in touch deadliftjeff

Wilders plans to depict parts of the Quran he says are used as inspiration "by bad people to do bad things."The Dutch politician has been under 24-hour police protection for over three years, ever since an Islamic duo armed with grenades attempted to kill him, along with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. When receiving multiple death threats is part of the daily grind, what sort of deterrence does the recepiton of still more death threats actually effect?
Less than 10 minutes long, the film is expected to air in late January. It will show "the intolerant and fascist character of the Quran," said Wilders, whose anti-Islam campaign helped his Freedom Party win nine seats in parliament in last year's election.
In the past, Wilders has said that half the Quran should be torn up and compared it with Adolf Hitler's book "Mein Kampf." He has claimed the Netherlands is being swamped by a "tsunami" of Islamic immigrants [now comprising 6%-8% of the populous].
Incidentally, Wilders' argument that half the Koran needs to be extricated for the book to be compatible with Western liberalism might be hyperbolic (the body of hadith are still less compatible), but references to violence, intolerance of infidels, the expansion of the Dar al Islam, and the submission of society to Islamic law is pervasive throughout its pages, especially in the Madinan suras (which are mostly presented towards the front of the Koran even though they were written after the Meccan suras that are presented later, owing to the use of sura length in determining the order in which they appear).
Islam's prophet was a military leader heavily involved in the secular affairs of government. Contemporary Islamic society reflects that.
Wilders is a duly elected political leader (the Party for Freedom, which he founded last year, holds nine of the Netherlands 150 seats, and is the fifth largest party in the parliament) in the world's most liberal country. Yet in a continent where religiosity has been dumped in favor of humanistic enlightenment, a Dutchman in his own country cannot even express criticism of the world's most aggressive and regressive major belief system without fearing for his life.
Unfortunately, the violent protests and rioting that will likely take place in response to Wilders' video illustrate how unfettered tolerance is impotent in the face of imperial intolerance. To retain liberalism, Europeans need a little illiberalism. Filching from Randall Parker, this is nature's way of telling us yet again that Islamic immigration into the liberal West is a bad idea.
This is hardly an isolated exposition on that lesson. RP reports on what is becoming an annual staple:
But will the natives of France learn from this lesson?In Great Britain, home now to honor killings and the 2005 London bombings, a staggering 94% of imams do not speak English as a primary language and an even higher percentage are foreign-born.
The Muslim kids have turned to rifles as weapons:
Officials in Paris last night warned that rioters in the suburb of Villiers-le-Bel were armed with hunting rifles and air rifles as clashes with police continued to escalate.
More than 70 police officers were injured on Monday night, three of them seriously, in clashes with rioters armed with molotov cocktails and firecrackers. One officer was shot in the shoulder with an air rifle.
In 2005 (the year the Parisian riots made the international news cycle), less than 50 cars were burned per day on average in the nation's immigrant-heavy banlieues. Last year, the average climbed to over 110. In 2007, the number approaches 140.
In Switzerland, large mosques are being constructed in Christian villages that sent warriors to keep them from being built in Spain nine centuries ago.
The chickens hatched from welcoming cheap Turkish labor are coming home to roost in Germany.
In Scotland, eating in for lunch isn't an option during Ramadan.
In Ireland, an Islamic group houses a body that argues for a fundamentalist interpretation of Sharia law to be applied on the island nation.
The list goes on and on. Separationism needs to be the West's collective response.
European nations should halt all further Islamic immigration and target illegal migrants for deportation. Unlike the US, nowhere in Europe, excepting Romania, grants birthright citizenship to the children of unnaturalized migrants (France and Great Britain both have variants of jus soli, but both require at least one parent be a legal resident).
Legally-residing, first generation Muslims should be offered renumeration for voluntarily returning to their places of origin. Rather than offer cash directly to the immigrant, funds should be placed at a bank in the country of destination, with a hold to be lifted upon the migrant's return (France has already begun doing this).
Approaching it in this way helps ensure the home nation's support by essentially saying, "We took this guy in for you and took care of him for X years. He probably sent money home during that time as well, and hopefully acquired some skills in the process. Now you can have him back, and enjoy an additonal $X injection into your economy, paid for by the people of our country. Congratulations!" It also requires the migrant actually return home before collecting the reward.

In the same week it is revealed to us who will be the next leaders of both superpowers: Barack Obama and Xi Jinping. The only difference is that we didn't know it would be Obama until after Tuesday's vote. By contrast, we knew it would be Xi long before the process that begins in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Nov. 8, from which he will emerge as Communist Party leader, becoming president next spring.
The coincidence prompts two questions: Which superpower is getting stronger? And which faces the deeper crisis of its economic and political system? Though this may sound contradictory, the answers are: China and China.
Through its sheer size, developmental "advantages of backwardness," entrepreneurial people, history of imperial statehood and manifest individual and collective hunger for wealth and power, China will become relatively stronger. Therefore, since all power is relative, the United States will become relatively weaker.
But China also has the more profound systemic problems that, if not addressed, may both slow its rise and make it an unstable, unpredictable and even aggressive state. Over the last five years, the United States has gone through a great time of troubles. I predict that China will face its own time of troubles over the next five.

Siemens cracks open its new S.C. facility
Doug Keith opened his day on May 21 by helping third graders keep an egg from breaking. His afternoon was spent cracking open Siemens' newest manufacturing facility.
The president of Siemens' Drive Technologies Division, Keith was in Maudlin, S.C. to dedicate the 45,000 sq. ft. facility that will manufacture its Simogear gear motor. As part of welcoming Siemens into the community, Keith and other local officials were invited to Science Day at a local elementary school, where students were charged with creating a device that would keep an egg from breaking.
"Maudlin is our newest home and we look to become an active member of the community," Keith said at the dedication, which featured about 100 Siemens employees, plant employees as well as local and state officials.
"This facility puts us closer to our machine builder customers in the southeastern United States," Keith said. "Simogear was specifically designed for the U.S. market so it was important that we were close to our customers."
"It is great to have world-class companies such as Siemens expand its operations in South Carolina. It is companies like this that help promote the economic development in our state and we hope to continue to bring more manufacturing facilities like these to South Carolina," said South Carolina Deputy Secretary of Commerce George Patrick III.
Patrick read a letter from Gov. Nikki Haley, which noted that Siemens is "Already employing more than 1,100 South Carolinians. This company gives our state so many reasons to smile, and today is no different."

6 large garlic cloves, flattened
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups low-fat (1%) milk
1/2 cup finely chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
4 large egg yolks
4 ounces mild fresh goat cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)
6 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine garlic and oil in small custard cup. Cover with foil. Bake until garlic is very tender, about 35 minutes. Cool slightly. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper to custard cup and mash to paste. Maintain oven temperature.
Spray four 2-cup soufflé dishes with nonstick spray. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs, coating bottom and sides; place dishes on baking sheet. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until mixture boils, thickens, and is smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, thyme, and garlic mixture. Remove soufflé base from heat.
Whisk egg yolks in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot soufflé base, then fold in goat cheese. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in another large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into soufflé mixture in 4 additions. Divide among prepared dishes.
Bake soufflés until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately
