Team New Zealand closes in on America's Cup after sixth win over Team USA

Posted September 13, 2013 10:52:17

Team New Zealand have one hand on the America's Cup after winning six of the first seven races against Oracle Team USA.

New Zealand won back-to-back America's Cup races on Friday (AEST) in San Francisco, thwarting efforts by defending champion Oracle.

"They've almost got this thing in the bag," Australia's Team USA skipper Jimmy Spithill conceded after the Kiwis notched two more victories.

"Imagine if these guys lost from here, what an upset that would be," he added.

"That would be one hell of a comeback, and that is the kind of thing I would like to be part of."

The two wins put the challenger just three wins away from wresting yachting's cherished prize from the hands of Team USA, which has won only one race in the series.

"It feels great," New Zealand skipper Dean Barker said of the lead his team holds ahead of the next Cup races, which are set to take place on Sunday (AEST).

"But, it is only two-thirds of the way to actually winning the America's Cup," he continued.

"Three more races is still a lot of hard work; one bad day out there and things can be quite different."

Barker said he avoids reading about the mounting fervor in New Zealand as his team dominates on San Francisco Bay.

"I will definitely join them in the bar if things go well," Barker quipped.

Barker said he and his crew are confident in their AC72 catamaran and tactics, which have foiled Team USA in all but one race in the best-of-17 series.

Team USA, on the other hand, will be looking to make changes, and might not even train on Saturday (AEST) if it decides on major modifications to its AC72, according to Spithill.

The Kiwi catamaran has proven to be faster on an upwind third leg of the course that has consistently been Team USA's undoing.

Also, an automated "self-tacking jib" system seems to have made the New Zealand AC72 more nimble on the water.

"Obviously, these guys have got an edge upwind and tacking," Spithill said of the challenger.

"But, we haven't seen all conditions yet."

Team USA's decision to replace tactician John Kostecki with Britain's four-time Olympic champion Ben Ainslie on Friday couldn't reverse their fortunes on the water. Spithill said that Kostecki agreed with the move.

The skipper side-stepped a question regarding what words team owner, billionaire yachtsman Larry Ellison, has had for him thus far.

"We cannot give up," Spithill said.

"I am still convinced we can win races. We are going to have to study the data and really see what we can do to change up the boat."

Growing immigration debate in Germany

Timothy McDonald reported this story on Monday, October 18, 2010 12:38:00

ELEANOR HALL: Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel made a stark declaration about multiculturalism in her country on the weekend saying it has utterly failed.

While some Germans expressed concern about her comments, there is also a growing anti-immigration sentiment within the country, as Timothy McDonald reports.

TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel has until now been the moderate face of Germany's centre-right Christian Democratic Union but her latest comments suggest a new approach.

ANGELA MERKEL (translated): We are a country which at the beginning of the 1960s actually brought guest workers to Germany and now they live with us, and we lied to ourselves for a while, saying that they wouldn't stay and one day they would be gone.

That's not the reality. Of course, the multicultural approach, that we live here side by side and be happy about each other, this approach has failed, utterly failed.

TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Angela Merkel made the comments to a meeting of the party's youth wing. She told the meeting that there must be a greater effort to integrate migrants.

ANGELA MERKEL (translated): Therefore integration is so important and so it is above all, that those who want to participate in our society, must not only comply with the law and adhere to the constitution, but above all must learn our language. To learn our language, to know our language. It must be given absolute value.

TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Germany's debate over immigration has become more acrimonious since a central banker published a book accusing the country's four million Muslim immigrants of lowering the intelligence of German society.

He was censured for his views and dismissed from the Bundesbank, but his book sold well and polls showed a majority of Germans agreed with many of his arguments.

But its clear his comments and the Chancellor's made many Germans uncomfortable.

SVEN STRIPP (translated): I think it is dangerous to say such things as a politician in public. One is then on the same level with other politicians, for example the one who just recently released a book and received a lot of criticism for it.

DANIELA JONAS (translated): I think her statement is very black and white and does not reflect honestly on the lifestyle people are living here. I don't think it is good what she said.

TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Some immigrants living in Germany say they're saddened but not surprised by the Chancellor's comments, as other parties have taken a similar stance

VOX POP (translated): It does not surprise me that Merkel says such things. She is from the Christian Democratic Union, but we have already heard things like that from the Social Democrats as well. It's a shame. It is not good for the atmosphere in Germany. It is not a helpful comment.

TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Ibrahim El Zayat is the president of Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe. He says the chancellor's remarks were surprising and out of touch.

IBRAHIM EL ZAYAT: We are in the 21st century looking into a Germany which is part of Europe which is a more multicultural society which is no longer a country which could be led by a leading German culture as some in the CDU (Christian Democratic Union) Party claim.

TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Some commentators say Angela Merkel faces pressure from within her party to take a tougher line on immigrants who don't show a willingness to integrate.

Quentin Peel is the Financial Times chief correspondent in Germany.

QUENTIN PEEL: There is a lot of conservative feeling in Germany that finds this difficult to come to terms with. That is one of the reasons why integration has been so slow - that Germans didn't regard a lot of Turkish workers as real immigrants. They thought they would all go home again.

TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Angela Merkel's comments appear to be at odds with those of her labour minister, who recently raised the possibility of making it easier for foreign workers to come to Germany to help address the country's skill shortage.

Neighbors told ABC 17 News they feel lucky to be alive, because some were sitting outside when the bullets started flying.  Others were inside, but even they weren't safe because some of the bullets crashed into a home, too.

Witnesses said the shots came so quickly and so frequently, they thought it was fireworks at first.

One Rice Road resident was inside her kitchen when the gunfire started.

"Have you ever had a handful of firecrackers and lit them all at once?  That's what it sounded like -- constant.  Until you hear them ricochet off the house, and then you realize somebody's shooting at you," she said. "So I proceeded to get down on the floor."

She didn't want to be identified for safety reasons, now worried after being caught in the crossfire.

"I don't think they were targeting any of us, I think it was just two cars shooting at each other back and forth," she said.

She said she believes it could be gang related, and possibly tied to some of the other shootings that have happened this summer.

Now, she has bullet holes outside of her home, and bullets inside.

"One is in the water heater and the other came and lodged in the closet door," she said.

That closet door is only feet from where a baby normally sleeps.

"He could have been there but he wasn't," she said.

She told ABC 17 News she's shocked, but thankful, no one was hurt.  Especially because she said it took police almost 20 minutes to arrive after she called 911.

"The Columbia Police Department can do more.  I know you're understaffed, but we're out here dying.  We're out here getting shot!" she said.

The shooters are still on the loose and police do not have a suspect description.  Neighbors said they saw a white car during the shooting.  There was a car stopped last night that was suspected to be involved in the shooting but the driver ran off, and even after being chased by police, got away.

Neighbors said police found 38 shell casings, but police have not confirmed that number.

Clear Cell  carcinoma of the uterus is an uncommon type of endometrial cancer and is considered a high risk group (greater chance of relapse or recurrence than the more common type called adenocarcinoma.) Most authorities recommend additional therapy after surgery, though there is no consensus on what's best,  radiation (whole abdomen WART, or pelvis) and/or chemotherapy. We generally use postOp pelvic radiation someitmes combined with chemotherapy in non-protocol patients. (see the NNCN guidelines for clear cell cancer.) A recent literature review noted that these patients often relapse in the pelvis (unlike serous which often relapses in the abdomen) and postOp pelvic irradiation is useful.

Several reports in the literature have shown that, compared with endometrioid adenocarcinoma, patients with papillary serous (PS) and clear cell (CC) histologic features do worse. PS or CC cancers of the uterus are often associated with lymphatic invasion, deep myometrial invasion, intra-abdominal relapse, and a poor outcome. In the 2001 FIGO report, of 5914 patients, 305 had PS and 140 had CC cancer. The 5-year survival rate was 54.3% and 63.2% for PS and CC, respectively, compared with 79.9% for endometrioid carcinoma. When only patients with Stage I disease were analyzed, the 5-year survival rate was 72% for PS and 79.6% for CC, respectively. Even women with stage I serous cancer may benefit from postOp chemotherapy +/- radiation (go here).

Outcome and patterns of failure in pathologic stages I–IV clear-cell carcinoma of the endometrium: implications for adjuvant radiation therapy.
Kevin T. Murphy, International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics,2003; 55:5 : 1272-1276

Endometrial carcinoma is the fourth most common cancer in women, with an estimated 35,000 cases per year in the United States  Fortunately, most are classified as adenocarcinoma and have a favorable prognosis. However, approximately 5% of patients present with clear-cell carcinoma   These tumors are considered more aggressive with poorer outcomes.

Most investigators group clear-cell tumors together with the more common papillary serous histology Thus, many clear-cell patients are often treated with whole-abdominal radiation therapy (WART) and/or chemotherapy, even when the disease is confined to the uterus. Although selected studies have focused solely on clear-cell histology , most include a limited number of patients  or fail to describe in detail the adjuvant therapy administered  and sites of failure. As a result, the optimal management of these patients remains less defined.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the outcome and patterns of failure in pathologic Stages I–IV clear-cell carcinoma of the endometrium treated at our institution and to discuss implications for adjuvant radiation therapy (RT). Clear-cell carcinoma comprises a small percentage of endometrial cancers, frequently presents as a mixed histology, and has a poor overall outcome. Unlike papillary serous tumors, clear-cell carcinoma does not seem to have a high propensity for abdominal failure. Our results thus do not support the routine use of whole-abdominal RT in these patients. Future protocols should focus instead on combinations of locoregional RT and chemotherapy to reduce the risk of local and systemic recurrence.

The Veracity of Valuation Specialists

Share this content

By Eva Lang - Earlier this month, Sarah Johnson, a senior writer at CFO magazine wrote in the article “How Far Can Fair Value Go?” that the problem with moving from historical cost to fair value financial statements lay in the difficulty of determining value due to “lack of consistent valuation standards, questionable valuation models, and uncertainty about the veracity of valuation specialists.” Ouch.

How can this perception persist when the valuation profession has better standards today than ever before, more sophisticated models, and higher ethical standards? Are a few bad apples spoiling the barrel for the hundreds of knowledgeable ethical valuation professionals? The lesson here is to recognize going into a fair value engagement that bias against valuers may exist. So we must be vigilant in doing our very best work, at the highest ethical level, with no hint of advocacy.

Microsoft Excel: How to Automate Text File Links

By David Ringstrom, CPA
Some time ago, I explained how to use Excel's Text to Columns Wizard for separating text within a spreadsheet into columns. Although this approach is helpful for data that's in a spreadsheet, in other cases, you may wish to link spreadsheets to text files that change periodically. In this article, I'll walk you through the steps of automating this process.
A common method of accessing text files is by way of the Open dialog box. As shown in Figure 1, you can choose from a variety of file types, including text files. Depending on the file type, Excel may automatically separate the data into columns, as shown in Figure 2, or leave all the data in a single column, as shown in Figure 3. Data, such as that shown in Figure 3, can then be separated into columns manually by way of the Text to Columns Wizard.
Figure 1: You can choose from various file types in the Open dialog box.
Figure 2: Excel automatically separated the data into columns.
Figure 3: Excel left all the data in a single column.
However, many users don't realize there's an alternate way to access text files that can minimize steps, and perhaps even automate integrating text file-based data into your spreadsheets. To do so:
  • Excel 2007 and later: Choose From Text in the Get External Data section of the Data tab.
  • Excel 2003 and earlier: Choose Data, Import External Data, and then Import Data.
At this point, in any version of Excel, you'll be presented with a variation of the Open dialog box:
  • Excel 2007 and later: The dialog box is labeled Import Text Files.
  • In Excel 2003 and earlier: The dialog box is labeled Select Data Source.
Regardless of your Excel version, browse to your text file and then click the Import button. A new dialog box labeled Text Import Wizard will appear. This wizard is identical to the Text to Columns Wizard, but I'll walk through the steps for anyone unfamiliar with either:
On the first screen of the wizard, you signify whether your text file is delimited for fixed width:
  • Delimited: Signifies there's a separator between each field, such as a tab, comma, space, semi-colon, or perhaps the | character, which is referred to as the pipe symbol.
  • Fixed width: Signifies that each field is allocated a specific number of characters, meaning the data lines up evenly in columns.
As shown in Figure 4, a data preview window shows you the first few rows of the text file as an aid in determining the file type. Once you choose delimited or fixed width, click Next to proceed to the next step in the wizard.
Figure 4: Excel provides a data preview window where you can view the first few rows of your text file.
If you choose delimited, the second step in the wizard will look like Figure 5, from which you can choose from standard delimiters or enter a delimiter of your choice, such as the pipe symbol in the Other field. Despite the misleading width of the Other field, you can only place a single character in this field.
Figure 5: If you selected Delimited in Step 1 of the Text Import Wizard, you select your delimiter in Step 2.
Alternatively, if you choose fixed width, the second screen in the wizard will look like Figure 6. Excel will attempt to automatically position breaks between each column. You can reposition these column breaks by dragging them left or right. Double-click on a break to remove it or click once between two fields to insert a column break.
Figure 6: If you selected fixed width in Step 1 of the Text Import Wizard, you can set field widths in Step 2.
Once you've specified a delimiter or confirmed the column breaks, click Next to move to the third step of the wizard. This step allows you to apply various settings to columns within your text file. By default, every field is marked as General, which means it will be imported into your spreadsheet with no particular format applied. This means that leading zeros will be dropped, and dates in formats such as yyyy-mm-dd will be treated as text within the spreadsheet. Rather than accepting the default of General, you can choose from three other options:
  1. Text: This option instructs Excel to treat a column as text, meaning leading zeros will be preserved in columns that contain numeric values, such as zip codes.
  2. Date: This option instructs Excel to convert a column to a date. When you choose this option, you must then specify the date format used within your text file, such as yyyy-mm-dd. Excel will convert these dates to the standard date format for Excel spreadsheets.
  3. Do Not Import (Skip): This option instructs Excel to in effect throw away unneeded columns within the text file. The original text file will remain intact, but any columns that you mark as Do Not Import will not appear in your spreadsheet.

Once you've changed any settings in Step 3 of the wizard and clicked Finish, the dialog box shown in Figure 7 will appear. Once you confirm the location where the data from the text file should reside, click the Properties button. The dialog box shown in Figure to 8 reveals the settings I use frequently to automate connections to text files:

Figure 7: The Import Data dialog box appears once you've clicked Finish in the Text Import Wizard.
  • Prompt for File Name on Refresh: Turn this option off if you're establishing a permanent link to a specific text file, or leave it on if you'll be bringing a different text file in each time you refresh.
  • Refresh Data on File Open: This option ensures that data from the text file is imported into your spreadsheet automatically. This is a significant automation opportunity, as it establishes a set-and-forget link to text files. Alternatively, you leave this option off and manually refresh the data, as I'll describe in a moment.
  • Fill Down Formulas in Columns Adjacent to Data: One of my favorite aspects of Excel is this ability to have any formulas I place to the right of data from a text file to get copied down additional rows, or removed from unneeded rows, whenever I refresh data from a text file. This allows me to establish set-and-forget connections to text file-based data.
Figure 8: The External Data Range Properties dialog box allows you to automate connections to text files.
Click OK twice to complete the import process. Going forward, you can manually refresh the data by right-clicking on any cell within the current data and choosing Refresh, as shown in Figure 9. To return to the Properties dialog box shown in Figure 8, right-click on the data and choose Data Range Properties. To replace the current data with that from another text file, choose Edit Text Import from the right-click menu. You'll be prompted to walk through the Text Import Wizard again, as described above.
Figure 9: Right-click on a cell and select Refresh to manually refresh your data.

Matcha Man

We just got back from Vermont, so while I edit photographs and figure out what to write about here’s a little taste of a luxurious benefit to having no power and thus no espresso machine for days after Irene.

I broke into a special can of matcha I bought a while back and enjoyed the hell out of it every morning, whipping up nice frothy cups which I drank while eating medjool dates, an ideal sweet to accompany the tea. Little cookies are a traditional part of the tea ceremony, but dates are superb, balancing the gentle bitterness of the drink.

It’s sensual yet austere, decadent yet healthy, a calming ritual and a caffeinated bump all at the same time. And, as with all such things, the extra few bucks I spent on this bag made for a big difference in the quality over what I usually get. You may not always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don’t pay for.

    Mmmatcha. I love tea. I first became a little obsessed with green teas when I tasted good stuff from a good tea merchant. I haven’t tried matcha though. I’d like to try drinking it, and I’m also keen to try using it in desserts & confections. My current tea obsession is Doomni estate Assam, barely sweetened with honey or maple, and milky.

    Where in VT do you visit? I live near White River Junction; maybe we can meet for an en-route picnic and share charcuterie :-)

      Londonderry. Not too far. I get my matcha from ippodo, though along with some friends I have switched over to Chinese green teas since Fukushima.

    Not far at all. Maybe we can meet when it warms up in the spring, and eat some good food. Cheers!

About Homeopathic Remedies

The Holistic Approach to Wellness

When suffering from a disease or ailment, the associated symptoms are indicative of the body’s battle to regain balance. Many conventional methodologies aim simply to remove or suppress the symptoms. Homeopathy’s goal is more comprehensive: to recognize and eliminate the underlying causes of the symptoms. Its holistic approach is what makes Homeopathy such a common and popular alternative to conventional drugs and treatments.

Because symptoms are reflective of an internal imbalance, homeopathic treatments are formulated to encourage the body to return to a state of equilibrium. By addressing the imbalances and deficiencies, Homeopathic remedies enable the body to improve using its own mechanisms. The end result is a body that has access to its full and natural strength.

About Nasal Allergies

What Causes Congestion?

Outdoor allergies affect 10-30% of people in the United States. Allergies can be seasonal or year-round depending on your allergens and where you live.  Most people don’t know exactly what causes their allergies but you can take an educated guess if you’re suffering from symptoms like nasal drip, sinus congestion, and dry nasal cavities each year at around the same time. If your symptoms arrive in spring, you’re probably allergic to pollinating trees. In summer, it’s probably grasses and weeds. You may experience more severe symptoms being near a freshly mowed lawn. In fall, Ragweed is in bloom and can certainly cause nasal issues for those that have an allergy. Some people suffer from more than one type of allergy or even a combination of indoor and outdoor allergies.

If you have year-round allergies, you might be allergic to pet dander, mold, or dust mites. So what causes nasal congestion when you have an allergy? When your system gets an allergen inside of it, it sees the allergen as a foreign body and sends chemicals, such as histamine, to eliminate the allergen. Histamine causes your nose, sinuses, and mucus membranes to become larger than normal which results in decreased air supply and congestion.

City of Oranges

Scrupulously fair to both sides — The Sunday Times

The ancient city of Jaffa was for centuries the main port of the eastern Mediterranean, a city of traders, merchants, teachers and administrators, home to Muslims, Christians and Jews, while the produce of its orange groves was famed throughout the world. It was in Jaffa that Peter the apostle was said to have raised Dorcas from the dead, and where Richard the Lionheart defeated Saladin. It was here, too, that Napoleon stormed ashore in 1799, while from 1920 the British administered the city under the Mandate. It is in 1920 that City of Oranges begins.

Through the stories of six families - three Arab and three Jewish - City of Oranges illuminates the underlying complexity of modern Israel, telling the story from the Ashkenazi as well as from the very different Sephardic point of view, and from Christian Arab as well as from the Muslim perspective. Through the eyes of these families we understand how the founding of the state of Israel was simultaneously a moment of jubilation for the Jews, and a disaster - the Naqba - for the 100,000 Arabs who fled Jaffa in 1948, most of them never to return.

Read an extract from the first chapter of City of Oranges, as Julia Chelouche, a young Jewish woman, prepares for her wedding in Jaffa in the spring of 1921. But the city is about to explode into violence.

Elementary School Basics

Parent and teacher strategies for a successful start at school.

ADHD in elementary school. ADDitude Magazine

From the first day of school, kindergarten students learn to walk in line, raise their hands, and listen to a story. They're developing the skills they'll need to take on the world. Over the next six years, they'll learn to communicate and collaborate, to mine meaning from language, to reason and predict, and to be good citizens and friends.

But if neurological deficits keep them from paying attention, organizing thoughts, and controlling impulses - as with children who have ADHD - they'll need special help, at home and in school. By working together, parents and teachers can address the behaviors that keep a child from learning. Cues to redirect his drifting focus, lists to remind him of rules and tasks, healthy outlets for his excess energy, routines and schedules to move him through the day - these are a few of the strategies that can help your child succeed. If you provide ongoing support and encouragement, and praise when you "catch him" doing things right, chances are, he'll not only succeed - he'll soar.

Academics: Too Busy to Learn

ADDers are often the most enthusiastic students, bursting with ideas. But their energy and inability to focus can be disruptive to themselves and to everyone else. Some students with ADHD may appear to be paying attention, only to be daydreaming, wrapped in internal distractions that keep them from learning.

  • Assign a seat away from distractions. Place a child with ADHD up front and away from doors, windows, and distracting noises.
  • Provide a release valve for pent-up energy. Some kids are more attentive if allowed to doodle or squeeze a stress ball during class. Let them walk around the classroom between lessons, hand out materials, or run errands to the office.
  • Establish eye contact to be sure a student is tuned in when you give directions. Be specific and brief. Avoid multiple commands. Write instructions on the blackboard, using colored chalk to highlight important points.
  • Grab their attention. Walk around the room, vary the volume of your speaking voice, use pictures, props, cartoons, demonstrations - anything to keep all eyes on you.
  • Lighten the homework load. Students with ADHD work slowly and are easily frustrated. Assigning just the odd-numbered math problems, for example, lets a child practice what he learned at school without pushing him past his limit.

  • Keep your child active. Early morning exercise - even walking or riding a bike to school - can help kids who have energy to burn. One family I know rises early for ice-skating, which helps their daughter to be more attentive in class.
  • Agree on a daily homework routine. Does your child need a break after class, or does she work best while still in school mode? Does she prefer the kitchen table or a quiet spot in the den? Allow background music if it helps her focus, but keep distractions to a minimum. Make sure she understands the assignment, and remain nearby to help her stay on task.
  • Schedule a five-minute break for every 20 minutes of work. Serve a healthy snack or let your child run around - both stimulate the brain chemicals that promote focus.
  • Get creative. If your child is easily bored, introduce some multi-sensory fun. To study spelling words, for example, you might write them in glue and sprinkle on glitter.
  • Respect your child's saturation point. If he's too tired or frustrated to continue his homework, let him stop. Write a note to the teacher explaining that he did as much as he could.

Crews unearth gas tank

May 30, 2014
Adirondack Daily Enterprise
On Thursday, a crew removes a tank from the ground beneath the former Wilson Farms, located at the corner of Main and River streets in Saranac Lake. The crew is performing an environmental contamination cleanup at the site. The business has been closed since April 2013. Since then, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has overseen a cleanup of gasoline that the agency has said leaked into the soil from old underground storage tanks on the property.

Give Advertisers Some Backtalk

Last Monday, I tipped back a couple beers with Daniel Honigman, co-founder of AdYapper, a new venture in the consumer ad space.

The site is beginning to emerge from stealth mode and move into beta at this time. Honigman isn’t looking for coverage here just yet (he spoke to me off the record). But he does value feedback from me and the AdPulp community. So, if you’re interested in Yapping some ads, visit and enter your email. Honigman will then personally enable your account and welcome your questions and opinions.

By the way, AdYapper is part of the Wieden+Kennedy-supported Portland Incubator Experiment (PIE). And Honigman is a smart guy with a plan. I see him going far with this and his other endeavors. He also helped me see some things more clearly. For instance, he said it’s not just about creating content anymore, now you have to give readers a platform.

That’s a pretty interesting POV when you think about it. The platform is where the action and the money is. Look at Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, WordPress, Posterous and all the other platform providers. They enable content to be shared, but they themselves do not create it.

For more on AdYapper, see their blog.

About David Burn

Co-founder and editor of AdPulp. I wrote my first ad for a political candidate when I was 17 years old. She won her race and I felt the seductive power of advertising for the first time. I worked for seven agencies in five states before launching my own practice in 2009. Today, I am head of brand strategy and creative at Bonehook in Portland, Oregon.

  1. Thanks for the (digital) ink, David. We’re now taking Beta users over on our site, even though we’re not opening it to the public just yet. Love any feedback your readers can provide!

Red Bluff Inlet and Bears

This morning we wake just as the boat arrives to Red Bluff inlet. As we come into the narrow passageway, we see a bear on shore hanging around our activities today are either a shot kayak or a dib boat ride, or a long kayak into the back of the cove. We opt again for the long kayak and set off in our same group, plus a few (after our great luck with wildlife spotting, I think some people decided to join us). We paddle for a ways along the shore, being quiet so we don’t scare a bear if we encounter one. The sides of this canyon are steep and gorgeous with many waterfalls bringing melted snow down. We paddle up close at the foot of a large waterfall. You are so close you can feel the spray on you’re face. Net we approach the rear and spot one large brown bear hanging out along the shoreline. We paddle up as close as we can (you can’t get too close as bears are very good swimmers) and stop for about ten minutes to watch him. There we spot another brown bear off to the left, crossing the stream. It is so amazing to see wildlife like this in its natural habitat. So pristine and surreal on the paddle back a seal pops its head up to say hi. After 2.5 hours we return to the boat.

After returning to the boat, we spend the afternoon just relaxing and watching for whales off the bow as the ship motors south. We spot some about 100 ft from the main vessel and get some amazing whale tale shots and videos. This evening they did a small presentation about how the boat mechanically works and what some of the holds look like. And then had a movie night in the lounge after dinner.

Have Researchers Uncovered Buffett's Secret?

March 11th, 2014

by Robert Huebscher

Researchers from AQR Capital Management, a Connecticut-based asset manager, claim they have uncovered the source of Warren Buffett’s alpha. They believe Buffett-like performance can be achieved by constructing a portfolio with exposure to certain “factors.” But their theory hinges on a crucial assumption, which, as I will show, is highly tenuous.

Buffett’s returns, based on Berkshire Hathaway’s stock price, didn’t come from successful stock-picking, AQR claims. Rather, the source of his outperformance was from his exposure to low-beta and high-quality stocks.

AQR and Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) have begun to incorporate those factors into their portfolio construction. This research raises the hope of duplicating Buffett’s success in a conventional, open-ended mutual fund.

I’ll look at the findings of this research and why I am skeptical of its implications.

Buffett’s alpha

Buffett has outperformed every stock and mutual fund on an absolute and risk-adjusted basis over the last 30 years. Previous research has failed to identify the sources of Buffett’s returns through the standard four-factor Fama-French model. Those studies found that Buffett’s returns could not be explained by exposure to value, market capitalization or momentum. His returns were mathematically equivalent to alpha.

Whether that alpha is due to luck or skill has been a matter of debate. Buffett’s position, stated in a 1984 article based on a talk he gave at Columbia University and in other writings, is that it is skill. Buffett attributes his skill to a rigorous application of the value-investing principles laid out by his one-time teachers, Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, most notably in their 1934 book, Securities Analysis.

Andrea Frazzini, David Kabiller and Lasse Heje Pedersen of AQR published Buffett’s Alpha in November of last year. The AQR researchers essentially expanded the Fama-French framework from a four- to a six-factor model, adding exposure to low-beta stocks and exposure to high-quality stocks. Those two factors, they claimed, explain Buffett’s success, eliminating his alpha.

“Buffett’s performance appears not to be luck,” they wrote, “but an expression that value and quality investing can be implemented in an actual portfolio (although of course, not by all investors who must collectively hold the market).”

The average beta of Buffett’s public stocks was 0.77, and Berkshire Hathaway’s beta was 0.68. The AQR researchers attribute some of Buffett’s excess return to this low-beta exposure, consistent with other research. But a greater contributor to returns was Buffett’s exposure to high-quality stocks, according to the authors. High-quality stocks are defined as those of companies that are profitable, stable and growing and have high payout ratios.

They also attribute some of Buffett’s success to his access to cheap leverage. Through its insurance operations, Berkshire Hathaway invests the cash flow from policy premiums, in advance of when claims need to be paid.

R.E.M.'s new release firmly political

When R.E.M. went into the studio last year to record its 15th album, the influential rock band didn't set out to make political statements or tributes to September 11 victims, but a recent first listen to Around the Sun revealed that is exactly what they did. After sifting through a handful of songs ranging from rock tunes to brooding acoustic ballads, the album's mood suggested itself, the band's members told Reuters. Around The Sun became about "capturing the feeling of what it's like to live in America right now," guitarist Peter Buck said. "We didn't set out to make a pointedly political record...but to me, the overwhelming feeling is sadness. Sadness for the families that have lost loved ones. Sadness for my children who have to grow up in a country where much of what we consider essential freedoms are disappearing." The album is due in record stores on October 5 in the United States and October 4 internationally on Warner Bros. Records, but the band was offering an early preview to reporters late last week.

The band eliminated the harder-rocking songs, making the final version a brooding affair that contains elements of every period of the band's career, including the familiar 12-string guitar chimes of their early music, the acoustic ballads of Automatic for the People and the subtle textured sounds of their last two albums, Up and Reveal. It also contains out singer Michael Stipe's most directly political lyrics to date on the song "Final Straw." "As I raise my head to broadcast my objection / As your latest triumph draw the final straw / Who died and lifted you up to perfection / And what silenced me is written into law." The band's politics will be put into action this fall when they join Bruce Springsteen and others on the "Vote For Change" tour to benefit the liberal MoveOn political action committee. "Given the dire situation we find ourselves in, it was inevitable that [politics] would creep into the music," said bassist Mike Mills. "As a citizen you have to do everything in your power to make things better, whether that's writing songs or playing the 'Vote For Change' tour." Stipe has been ambivalent about his role. "I always believed that music and politics do not mix," he said. "It's like oil and water. There are people who write great political songs. I'm not one of them," he said. "I tried for four months not to write political songs. Finally, I gave in." Stipe's lyrics are abstract enough to throw listeners off the scent, and Mills said they remain "open to interpretation."

R.E.M. wrote many of the rules for indie rock in the 1980s with a combination of jangly folk rock, punk attitude, oblique lyrics, and a stubbornly independent and tireless work ethic. When they jumped to Warner Bros., one of the world's largest record labels, their albums got more alternative and more popular with hits like "Losing My Religion," "Stand," and "Man on the Moon." But as the '90s wore on, their audience in the U.S. evaporated while overseas the band's popularity grew exponentially. It remains to be seen if Around the Sun can reinvigorate sales in the United States. Each of the band's last four albums sank lower than the previous one on album charts. Buck will not allow himself to be deluded: "I don't expect 18-year-old kids to go berserk and start dressing like us. Take Bob Dylan," he said. "In 1975 people thought he was going to be president. Now he plays 3,000-seat theaters. His last two records are the best things he's done in years. So I won't calculate who our audience is. I'll take whoever I can get at whatever level I can get them."

Double Rainbow Guy Sells Out to Microsoft

By Matt McCarron Comment

Paul “Bear” Vasquez –aka “Double Rainbow Guy”– now promoting Microsoft’s Windows Live photo editing software. The spot spoofs the wildly popular meme (posted after the jump) by showing that if you want to capture “double rainbow all the way across the sky,” the photo stitchworks best.

Microsoft was unavailable to comment on whether Vasquez participated in a drug test. Or what the rainbow means…

Y&R Hobbles Into The Green

By SuperSpy Comment

“Has The Power To Change Life On Earth As We Know It!”

That’s the tagline for the Y&R created superhero called, The Green Man. The site, nay the one page web page, features a carbon calculator, as well as a closer look at the presidential candidate’s green stances. Oh! And let us not forget the annoying Green Man who is wearing Birkenstocks and clothes that don’t fit and is generally, one of the most unlikable super heroes ever created. Staffers also got email signatures to place at the bottom of outgoing messages (see below).

Who is this site for? Is this so Y&R can tell its clients that is involved in the “greening” of the earth? L.A.M.E.

That said, can someone please find out why, why, the agency thought that shifting the responsibility of sustainability to a “super hero” figure, rather than making it a real world issue was a good idea – I’d be very much obliged.

Twitter’s Latest Aquihire To Focus On Wooing Third Party Developers

By Mary C. Long Comment

Third party app developers are ticked at Twitter lately – we all know that.

And lately, Twitter has been very visible, particularly its CEO, chatting up the Interwebs about how successful Twitter has become and its plans to continue on that path. And maybe (just . . . maybe) they’ve realized that being known as the place where developers should NOT innovate is not such a great rep to have long-term. Maybe.

Either way, they’ve aqui-hired a team to focus specifically on third party app developers, so that must be a good sign, right?

If you didn’t make it on to Twitter’s list of “certified products” and you’re a third party Twitter app developer, you might be feeling a bit unloved by the blue bird.

Well all that is about to change! Maybe!

Twitter just brought on the Cabana team to join Twitter’s platform team and “build tools to help third-party developers create new experiences on Twitter and empower the larger Twitter ecosystem.” They #JoinTheFlock on December 1.

What does/die Cabana do? According to its post announcing the merger, Cabana (as it previously existed) was all about “empowering people to develop interactive content in new and innovative ways.” And they found “that same passion for innovation and the democratization of content creation is also shared by the amazing team at Twitter.”

Over the past few months, we’ve gotten to know the Twitter team and discovered the tremendous amount of technological synergy and alignment of our visions. The more we explored this synergy, the more excited we became about joining forces and working together.

So watch for some potentially developer-friendly changes after December 1! Are you excited about the possibilities?

“Have You Ever Felt More Awkward On The Set?”

By SteveK Comment

shep_9-22.jpgFNC anchor Shepard Smith always seems to loosen up for his appearances on Fox & Friends, and this morning was no exception.

Smith was on to promote the even looser broadcast, The Strategy Room, which debuted today on Foxnews.com (“If you get riled up about something you can curse, if you want to throw a shoe you can throw a shoe,” says Smith).

It started right when Smith first walked on set, as he teased the co-hosts for their earlier reporting about “grenades” at JFK Airport.

Then he turned his attention to Gretchen Carlson. “What’s wrong with Gretchen today?” he asked. “What’s wrong with you?!” she shot back.

Click continued to see the complete segment, including Carlson’s attempt to “make up” with Smith, his reasoning for why he never watches the program and a reference to this TVNewser post (via Johnny Dollar)…

The Mirror Filter-A New Basis for Reducing Nonlinear Distortion and Equalizing Response in Woofer Systems

Document Thumbnail

A new filter structure, derived from the applicable nonlinear differential equation and inserted in the signal path, reduced loudspeaker nonlinear distortion caused by displacement-sensitive parameters (force factor, stiffness, and inductance) and by the Doppler effect. This filter can also be used for optimizing the linear frequency response (resonance frequency and Q factor) and for protecting against mechanical damage. There is no need for a permanent sensor, a requirement in feedback systems. To adjust the filter parameters automatically to a particular loudspeaker, an iterative method is presented, based on the electrical or acoustical measurement of the overall transfer response. Both the filter and the auxiliary systems for protection and adjustment are implemented in a DSP 56001 and result in a self-learning distortion-reduction system. The system was tested on different loudspeakers, and the measurement results are compared with listening impressions. The possible consequences in loudspeaker design are discussed.

ELMS: AF Corse and the successes

Following two “silver medals” in both GT categories, AF Corse finished the European Le Mans Series 2014 (Elms) successfully.

The first result came in the LMGTE thanks to Duncan Cameron and Matt Griffin. In their AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia #55, the high potential squad gained – together with Michele Rugolo in four of five races – 81,5 points and a series of positive results.

The other second step on the podium is the outcome of the perfomances signed by Johnny Laursen, Mikkel Mac and Jan Magnussen. Laursen and Mac are vice-champions in the GTC category in the Formula Racing Ferrari 458 Italia #60 (managed by AF Corse) with 78,5 points; Magnussen did not race every round but gained in any case the fourth place in the GTC Drivers standing. The two “silver medals” mirror the position for the Team (AF Corse second in LMGTE and same place for Formula Racing in GTC).

The "plus" sign of the season can be seen by observing the results of the other teams that animated the European Le Mans Series 2014 on an AF Corse Ferrari or with one 458 managed by AF Corse.
Alexander Talkanitsa, Alexander Talkanitsa Junior and Pierre Kaffer – in the AT Racing Ferrari 458 #56, managed  by AF Corse for several years – ended the hard-fought competition in the fifth spot.

One place behind, Piergiuseppe Perazzini, Marco Cioci and Michael Lyons with the AF Corse Ferrari 458 #54. The trio took the last chequered flag of the season, at Estoril, in second position: without some unlucky incidents, in the opening of the season, the championship would have been fought until the end.

Howard Blank, Yannick Mallegol and Jean Marc Bachelier, in their AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia #62, were great protagonists of the season from the very beginning to Imola race (GTC category) with brilliant performances. Mallegol, in the second part of the championship, continued to race with François Perrodo and Emmanuel Collard driving the AF Corse Ferrari 458 #70 (LMGTE category).

The young drivers Adrian De Leener and Cedric Sbirrazzuoli, in the AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia #95, finished the Elms in 8th position in the GTC standing.

Peter Mann - the GTR champion in the Blancpain Endurance Series 2014 – gained points also in the Elms together with Raffaele Giammaria and Lorenzo Casè in the AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia #65.

Mads Rasmussen, Dennis Lind, Ilya Melnikov, Filipe Barreiros and Francisco Guedes shared the AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia #63 during the season.

Thomas Flohr, Francesco Castellacci and Andrea Rizzoli accomplished good performances in the AF Corse Ferrari #94.

About Le Mans Series...

Le Mans Series is an endurance championship created in 2004. Le Mans Series, now, is one of the biggest characters on the international motorsport scene. The race duration is 1,000 km, with two or three drivers sharing the car.

Charlotte LAVAUD/LAVEAUX and Francois BIROT of LA

My ancestor's[Francois BIROT] first wife was a woman named Charlotte LAVAUD/LAVEAUX while he was living in New Orleans. They had twins, Louise and Francois BIROT,who were born in 1819. I am curious to know whether or not anyone has done any genealogy on the fpoc LAVEAUX or LAVAUD family of New Orleans? I am wondering if Charlotte LAVAUD fits into a particular group. She could even be related to the famous Marie LAVEAU.

Military Grave Sites

Can anyone tell me..r grave sites determined by the rank of the person. Are areas determined by the rank? Is there a different SOP for each state that says who and what group is buried where, ex. 82nd Airborne. Can a area be reserved for future deceased Veterans, when it is determined that in WW1 or 2 there was a group of soldiers found buried in a mass grave and now headstones for each individual has been requested by family where parts of these soldiers will be reburied?. I thought there was something that said each soldier honorably served would get this. I need some verification here cause we have a friendly argument going on :\ .

Political pizza-pushers threaten school nutrition gains

Share This

This week, some members of Congress will consider reversing recently won school nutrition regulations that provide more whole-grain foods and fresh fruits and vegetables in school lunches. Such a move would slam schools right back to the pizza-as-a-vegetable mentality that's contributed to an epidemic of childhood obesity in this nation.

The AFT is joining hundreds of other child advocacy organizations to protest the backsliding and protect the nutritional gains we fought so hard to win: 209 groups, from the American Heart Association to Utahns Against Hunger, signed a statement urging Congress "to oppose efforts to intervene in science-based rules regarding the federal child nutrition programs."

Those rules, established by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, have already made a positive difference in the lives of children, many of whom rely on school lunches as a primary source of food. Driven by statistics showing that one-third of our children are overweight or obese, the act requires that school meals include more fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, low-fat instead of high-fat milk, and more sensibly controlled portions.

But a group of Congressional representatives wants to change the 100 percent whole-grain requirement currently in place for school lunches to 50 percent; water down restrictions on competitive food sales (like vending machines) and sodium content; and request a waiver program for schools based on the additional cost for healthier food—despite the fact that 90 percent of the nation's schools are already complying with the new guidelines. They are reviewing policies beginning May 20 through the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture.

Why does anyone want to scrap healthy food policy for children? Deep-pocketed corporations, which market junk food directly to kids, are lobbying committee members to keep their processed foods on lunch trays, which means shoving aside healthier options.

"There's got to be a profit motive behind lowering the standards," says David Gray, president of the Oklahoma City Federation of Classified Employees and an AFT vice president.

Gray fought hard to return fresh, cooked-from-scratch food to Oklahoma City schools. He and other advocates of school nutrition, including first lady Michelle Obama, point out that childhood health begins early, and schools, where children spend so much of their time, have enormous influence on lifetime eating habits. A total of 31 million children participate in the National School Lunch Program. We cannot roll back the clock and scrap this research-based policy. "We want high standards and healthy, nutritious meals," says Gray. "That should be an integral part of reclaiming the promise of public school education."

Adopting healthier school menus has been challenging in some places: Food service workers have had to adjust recipes and sourcing, and students are still getting used to the new fare. However, "the USDA has been responsive to challenges schools face in implementing the new lunch standards," says Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, in an online plea to fight changes to the nutrition standards. "Schools need support and technical assistance, not a free pass to serve junk to kids. And kids need nutrition standards based on science, not politics." [Virginia Myers]
