In 1992 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a business without a physical presence in a state should not be required to pay that state's sales tax. In the last couple of years however, critics of that ruling have begun to make more of a push for most online retailers to pay state sales tax. This is all based on the pretense that nearly 20 years ago online sales were minimal and made little impact on a company's bottom line. Besides the fact that many states have been chipping away at huge retailer Amazon.com, forcing them to pay taxes in states where affiliate marketers reside (which they promptly fire), there is a consensus forming in Congress to end what some see as a tax loophole.
Unfortunately, this is being brought about by cry baby members of the Retail Industry Leaders Association in the name of fairness. They state that it simply isn't fair that online retailers don't have to pay state taxes while customers come into brick and mortar retailers, use up a salesperson's time inquiring about a product and then, sometimes right in front of the salesperson, order that product online via their mobile device. While it is certainly rude of anyone to be so blatant as to order right in front of the salesperson who just helped them, and it is a bummer for a physical location business to lose a sale such as this, there are really 2 issues going on here.
First, this kind of thing will still go on even if all online retailers are taxed, because exclusively online business will almost always sell at a lower price point than a brick and mortar establishment. Why? They simply have the ability to do business cheaper with much less overhead. Do you ever even think of the tax savings when purchasing online? Isn't it usually the huge price difference that incites you to make a purchase via the web? Taxing a business to be fair in this instance is absurd because it will do nothing to curb the actions of people looking for a better deal. You might as well make it illegal to use the time of a retail location's salesperson when you really aren't intending to buy from them (I probably shouldn't have given you socialist legislators reading this any ideas).
Secondly, rather than build an online presence or do better marketing to get more online sales, the whiny Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) and brick and mortar businesses want the government to step in and "level the playing field." Below is directly from the RILA website:
"RILA also supports state action seeking to allow states collection authority by establishing nexus for online-only retailers through various means, or through direct state assessments of online-only retailers that have established facilities in a given state, as stop-gap measures until federal action to level the playing field can be enacted."
Really? We have a completely out of control government in this country and in the name of fairness, you want to give them even more power? You want the federal government to make decisions for the states that are granted to them by the Constitution? Because brick and mortar retailers were not first or better at online marketing than companies like Amazon, they now demand that the playing field be leveled. Is anyone seeing the absurdity in this?
If you have never read Ayn Rand's, Atlas Shrugged, this kind of leveling the playing field, cry baby stuff from misfit retailers and their industry organizations is a prophetic message right from the pages of Rand's novel written some 50 years ago. Rand took the absurdities of this mode of thinking to its logical conclusion (which we are not far from these days) and her fictional society eventually destroyed itself. Do we not creep ever closer to that when we demand government action in the name of fairness?
While some see this as a big source of revenue for cash strapped states, it has hardly brought in but a trickle of revenue for states that have implemented an Internet sales tax. And if a national rule were to be implemented via a Congress that is in every aspect of our lives these days, that would impose an unfair burden on small business trying to comply with the multitude of different tax jurisdictions between states, counties and cities. While brick and mortar retailers would only have to be concerned about paying sales taxes in their local municipalities and or states, online retailers would have to be familiar with every tax law in every state, county and city. Mountains of paperwork would be required to comply with the laws of every state thus putting some online retailers out of business.
If there were even a chance of states being responsible with additional tax revenue, the idea of taxing online purchases might fly a little easier, but federal and local governments have proven over and over their complete incompetence when handling money that does not belong to them. States do not need more of our money. The more they take from us, the less we put back into the economy. Let's keep out of state purchases tax free as they have always been.

While at the International Motor Press Association's annual test days in Pennsylvania a couple of weeks ago, I ran into fellow CSK Publishing alumnus Jim Koscs. For those not familiar with CSK, it was a small company based in north Jersey that was one of the first niche car magazine publishers. Among it stable of periodicals was MuscleCars, High Performance Pontiac, High Performance Mopar and Vette.
But the magazine it was most notorious for was Cars Illustrated. It was vulgar, irreverent, disturbed, and positively wonderful. It shot from the hip. It took press cars street racing. It had the "Slam of the Month" car feature that ridiculed both feature car and owner--really twisted stuff. Its subscription ad bragged it was "more fun than a letter bomb." It went out of business in the late 1980s (no one would advertise in it and frankly, it scared most people, even the readers).
Nowadays, Jim's a high-powered automotive writer who does work for many of the world's largest car companies. One thing that hasn't changed is his passion for American iron. He still loves musclecars and it wasn't long before we were talking about the 2010 Camaro and the new Dodge Challenger. Like me, he is stoked about the former and does not foresee a long shelf live for the latter. Maybe five years, just like the original Challenger.
Well, not long after Test Days did he whip the chart you see here. It's a comparison of the upcoming F-body vs. the icon that is the 1969 model. What is shocking to me is how close in size the new car is to the '69. Yes, it's a little more than 4-inches longer, but how much of that is federally mandated bumpers? It's only an 1.5 inches wider.
(If you're curious to what "Linear length" is, that's Koscs' own creation--it is what you get if you add the length, width, wheelbase and height together.)
One perhaps controversial number is the guesstimate on what yesterday's musclecar engines would make under the latest SAE net ratings GM uses today. When GM first switched to net ratings in 1972, it was said the difference was 20-25 percent lower. The most recent standard instituted was stricter still so don't freak when you see what he put down for estimates. If you look at the mph figures garnered from the old road tests and do the calculations based on weight, they're pretty close.
The new Camaro--if GM's published weights are correct--will be 100 lbs heavier than the old car, but it makes about 162 more horsepower in V8 form. No one wants the new car to be heavier, but when you add a half-dozen airbags, their attendant hardware, a bunch of computers, 20-inch wheels and tires, enormous Brembo brakes, etc., it's hard to keep the pounds out.
Again, do what you want with this info. And as the commercial says, "Your results may vary."

I have nothing of interest to add to the inauguration discussion. But I do want to link to Atrios on the shocking significance of Obama to anyone with an understanding of American history.
Whatever one thinks of Obama, it says something positive about our country that we actually managed to twice vote for an African-American man for president. More than that, I don't think that anyone should doubt that we'd be ready to elect a woman president, too. I'm not saying the playing field is level and the country, or at least enough of it, is race- and gender- blind for these things, just that 20 years ago I would've put both in the near-impossible category.
About once a month, I sort of come to this realization that, holy moly, this country has voted a black dude president. Twice! That is hard for me to believe. I never thought it would happen in my lifetime. And if it did, it would be a Republican.

The protests that have paralyzed international relations between Muslim countries and the West are a tragic reminder of the educational disparities which exist in today's world. There is systemic inadequacy to appreciate critical thinking in the Muslim world which leads to this kind of knee-jerk emotionalism. Although many Muslims may claim to be educated — the basic premise of education is the ability to question, critically analyze, and tolerate views with which we may not agree. The abhorrent film which provoked these recent riots could best be opposed not by a ban on the film itself, but rather by criticizing it more openly. Such a mindset of open critique rather than censorship is a product of the scientific mind.
This is the time of year when science and peace find confluence in Scandinavia where the Nobel prizes are awarded for scientific discoveries, literature and for promoting peace. While many Islamic countries claim to have been victimized by the "war on terror", it is interesting to note that since September 11, 2001, three of the seven individual Nobel peace laureates have been Muslims. Their area of recognition has spanned from human rights activism (Shirin Ebadi, 2003) to nuclear vigilance (Muhammad El Baradei, 2005) to micro-credit entrepreneurship (Muhammad Yunus, 2006), and most recently to the Arab spring protests (Tawakel Karman, 2011).
What is perhaps even more astonishing is that in the 110-year history of the Nobel peace prize there are only two other Muslims who have been so honored. Anwar Saadat (1978) and Yassir Arafat shared the prize with Israeli leaders for highly variable and controversial contributions to building peace in the Middle East.
Out of more than five hundred Nobel laureates in the sciences, only two have been of Muslim lineage. Pakistan can claim one of them: Abdus Salam, who shared the prize in physics in 1979, and memorably wore a shervani and turban to the award ceremony in Sweden. However, as a member of the Ahmadiya community, he was regrettably spurned at home as a non-Muslim and died in 1996 without fully being able to contribute to science education in Pakistan, despite his noblest intentions. Dr. Ahmed Zewail, an Egyptian-American chemist based at the California Institute of Technology received the prize for chemistry in 1999 and is the Muslim world's sole Nobel science star. He is clearly in high demand for this singular status and has also been appointed by President Obama as one of his "science envoys." I had an opportunity to meet him recently at the World Economic Forum in Davos (in January 2012) and he noted the difficulty of getting science to be embraced by Muslims because of entrenched and misguided prejudice towards themes like evolution.
Unfortunately, Muslim theologians dismiss evolution as established science with canard theories like "intelligent design," ironically taken from fundamentalist Christian traditions in the Southern United States. Ample scholarship by Muslim scientists has been provided to show that evolution and Islamic theology are compatible but a vast majority of Muslims continue to disavow this because of ignorance on the part of our major clerics (a recent book by Nidhal Guessoum titled Islam's Quantum Question: Reconciling Muslim Tradition and Modern Science, provides an excellent response to these controversies). Without having a basic predication in scientific understanding of the natural world, we cannot develop our intellectual base.
The reason for the paucity of Muslim laureates in the sciences is perhaps the relative intellectual inertia in the educational institutions in many Muslim countries. There is a tendency for many Muslims to atavistically celebrate the accomplishments of tenth-century Muslim mathematicians, while investing little in developing contemporary educational capacity. Far too often we hear from imams about the etymology of algebra coming from Arabic and the pharmaceutical accomplishments of Avicenna but do we ask why more of such great scholars have not been seen for a thousand years in Islamic countries? Furthermore, it is important to remember that the golden age of Islam was also its most pluralistic and even then there were fundamentalist forces who constantly threatened these scientists. Let us not forget the ruins of Madinat-al-Zahra, once a show-piece of Islamic art and learning, just outside Cordoba, which was destroyed not by any "infidels" but instead by radical and retrogressive Muslim factions.
Those Muslims who are educated and proceed to develop successful professional careers are often sanguine with a comfortable job but would rather not invest in cutting-edge creativity. An interesting example is the medical profession in which many Muslims have excelled considerably. However, most of these brilliant doctors are focused on making money in clinical practice rather than in creative research which would lead to laurels such as the Nobel prize. There is cultural complacence that leads to a mindset where success is marked by simply making a good living for the family, contributing some earnings to charity and then living a lavish life.
As for the recent Muslim peace laureates what is even more striking is that many Muslims have rejected their efforts and refused to accept them as role models, labeling them instead as stooges of the West.
I was amazed at the reaction of one Canadian Muslim professor to the Nobel Prize awarded to Muhammad Yunus. There was spiteful criticism of Dr Yunus as a narcissist who was charging the destitute exorbitant un-Islamic interest rates. As with Shirin Ebadi and Muhammad ElBaradei, many Muslims also consider Dr Yunus a "stooge of the West". While there are some valid critiques of the Grameen Bank model in Bangladesh, it is unfortunate that any novel idea has to be met with such contrarian zeal with few alternative solutions. The overall picture is fairly clear: Bangladesh is at least showing strongly positive signs of development, as measured by indicators developed by Pakistan's own celebrated economist, the late Mahbub-ul-Haq (who may well have become the first Muslim to win the Nobel Prize in economics had he lived long enough). According to the director of the UN's Human Development Report, Kevin Watkins, Bangladesh has seen child mortality falling at an annual rate 50 percent higher than India and in 2006 the child survival rate is better in Bangladesh than in either India or Pakistan. This is especially remarkable for a country that has all natural odds against it with annual floods, cyclones and a capricious agricultural climate.
Let us now turn to another Muslim Nobel laureate, Orhan Pamuk of Turkey who won the Nobel Prize for literature. Given the attendance of the Turkish leadership at this year's "U.S. Islamic World Forum" , understanding his place in this pantheon is quite significant as well. The late Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz is the only other Muslim writer to have won this prize. Both of these writers have been known to marginalize their Islamic identity at various times, and perhaps the literature prize mirrors the peace prize in its political message. Just as Gandhi was denied the peace prize despite being an inspiration to so many later laureates, some Muslim writers may claim a measure of discrimination here, contending that only a certain liberal elite is even considered seriously. In the case of Mr Pamuk, one Turkish writer commented in the Wall Street Journal that he "has not taught anyone anything they didn't already know but has made precisely the right noises that the progressive arbiters of taste in Europe like to hear".
While it may be argued that the literature, peace and economics prizes are politicized, there is little doubt that the science prize is quite authentic in its measure of excellence. This is where Muslims should admire our Jewish brethren and learn from them rather than grumbling about discrimination.
Alfred Nobel, the man who perfected the alchemy of dynamite, could scarcely have imagined how momentous his legacy would be for times to come. Every autumn we await the announcements from Scandinavia about this most coveted of international honors. As the pantheon of laureates grows larger and more diverse, the Islamic contribution to this prize remains relatively small. This is a time for introspection among Muslims and non-Muslims alike regarding the means and merits of such rewards, and how best to use them as incentives for improving the human condition.

Two months ago, the Nobel committee surprised everyone, including Barack Obama, when it honored the first-year president with the Peace Prize -- leaving his detractors and even some supporters scratching their heads.
Just days before formally picking up the award in Oslo Thursday, Obama announced a troop surge in Afghanistan even as he continues the war in Iraq. Critics who wondered what he'd done to deserve the prestigious award in less than a year in office, now wonder how a wartime president can be seen as a peacemaker.
- The New York Times' Jeff Zeleny eloquently captured the conundrum: "There is, of course, no escaping the paradox of this moment for Mr. Obama ... only nine days after announcing that he would escalate the war in Afghanistan by sending in 30,000 more American troops." Zeleny suggests Obama not ignore that fact and outline "why war is necessary to bring peace," while maintaining the same tone of humility he showed while commenting on winning the award on Oct. 9.
- In World Politics Review, Michael A. Cohen speculates that prize was given to Obama as an expression of "the international community's desire for greater engagement from the new American president." Obama would be wise to note that "we are living in a multipolar world, where America's superpower status and influence can be more easily neutralized by global forces outside its control."
- Linda Feldmann, writing in the Christian Science Monitor, said Obama was clearly aware of the paradox. "His quick in-and-out, low-key approach also reflects the awkward nature of his surprise award, announced in October as he was beginning his review of war policy in Afghanistan and now received on the heels of his decision to launch a surge in the U.S. military presence there."
- Foreign Policy's Johan Bergenas said Americans, 66% of whom don't believe Obama deserved the award, should be proud. "Can you think of any other nation that would have responded in such a negative manner to the announcement that its leader had received the Nobel Peace Prize?" "Fortunately, it's not too late for Americans to accept Obama's Nobel Peace Prize as the national treasure it is," he writes.
- Ken Blanchard of the blog South Dakota Politics panned the president for making a "great speech" and then running out on Norwegians. "Of course, Norway is a long time ally of the United States. Perhaps this is what they should expect," he quipped.

The American Legion – January 7, 2010
On Aug. 24, 2009, The American Legion National Executive Committee adopted Resolution 1, The American Legion Policy on VA and National Health Care Reform, and Resolution 2, The American Legion Policy on DoD's Medical Health System and National Health Care Reform. The goal of these resolutions was to make sure that neither DoD's or VA's health-care delivery systems were adversely affected by legislation introduced and passed in each chamber.
Very early in the process, The American Legion received assurances from key congressional leaders and the president that nothing in the national health-care reform legislation would adversely affect either the DoD or VA health-care systems. Both the House and the Senate have passed their versions of national health-care reform legislation, and both bills span over 2,000 pages of legislative language. In a review of each bill, it appears neither DoD or VA health-care systems will be adversely affected; however, the current ongoing negotiations between House, Senate and the White House are being conducted in "closed sessions" with little to no detailed information being officially released or reported.
The American Legion will continue to closely monitor developments and keep The American Legion family informed as specifics are revealed. Clearly, changes to Medicare's reimbursement rates to participating health-care providers could possibly have an effect on TRICARE and TRICARE for Life beneficiaries. This is just one of the many provisions The American Legion has publicly expressed concerns over.
Another concern deals with any requirement for mandatory public or private health-care insurance. Neither TRICARE or VA health care is an insurance provider, but rather a health-care provider. So The American Legion has publicly expressed its concerns with "cookie cutter" approaches in mandating health-care insurance coverage with the threat of fines or penalties for noncompliance. Both DoD and VA health care are earned benefits for honorable military service and the thanks of a grateful nation.
In keeping with the constitutional intent of the democratic process, the voice of We, the people, remains absolutely critical in the representative form of government we enjoy; therefore, you are encouraged to ask your two senators and your representative specific questions you may have on the issue of national health-care reform as it relates to veterans, servicemembers and their families.
Please feel free to share any responses you receive from your elected officials with The American Legion National Legislative Commission so we can follow up as necessary.
Find your elected officials at the Legislative Action Center.

"A mug shot is a couple notches below your driver's license picture," said Devin James, 41. "And everyone takes a messed-up driver's license picture."
Mug shots have gained popularity online thanks to sites such as the Smoking Gun, which features arrest photos of professional athletes, musicians and Hollywood A-, B- and C-listers, Nick Nolte, Glen Campbell and Mel Gibson among them.
In Jail, the stars are the readers' neighbors, charged with everything from drug possession to prostitution to murder.
Some mug shots beg for more detail, such as the bare-chested man arrested and charged with burglary. Perhaps a shirt was one of the items he hoped to steal.
James carefully chooses the mug shots on the front page; issues with attractive women on the front move fastest.
"Sex sells," James said.
James said he got the idea nearly a decade ago after a three-month stint in the Orange County Jail after he says he got into a loud fight with a girlfriend and the police sided with her. He denies hitting her.
He published two issues in 1999, but gave up when it didn't take off.
Using $600 he earned moving furniture, James tried again in December.
"The timing is right for this paper now," he said. "America is in the midst of a crime wave."
Before jail and Jail, James' journalism experience consisted of reading the occasional magazine or newspaper.
"I was always bored with English and anything that had to do with that in school," James said.
James said he now distributes more than 8,000 newspapers weekly and struggles to keep stores stocked.
The papers are sold for $1 at about 175 mom-and-pop convenience stores throughout Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties. James delivers them himself.
The merchants provide counter space in return for half the profit.
"We sell out of them each week," said Rafael Gil, manager of the Plaza Market in downtown Orlando. "I had to place the paper by the cash register because customers thought it was free and were walking out the door with it."
Thousands of arrests each week in the paper's three-county distribution area provide plenty of material, all obtained free from police and sheriff's departments.
Some of the pictures are organized into sections of cold cases, convicted state prisoners, missing persons, sex offenders and impounded dogs and cats.
Sue Cravens, a bail agent in Sanford who advertises in Jail, said the paper may have helped authorities capture some suspects, thinking of one in particular.
"I can't say the newspaper got (the suspect) caught," Cravens said. "But I can say his picture was shown one week and a few days later he was off the streets."
Sindy Lowe said she's seen several people she recognized in the paper, even members of her own family.
"Once I even saw my sister-in-law in there after she violated her probation," Lowe said. "I didn't even know she had been arrested."

Fearless Females - March 3
Asenath BUTLER PRESTON
Once again, in honor of National Women's History Month (http://www.nwhp.org/whm/history.php), Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog (http://www.theaccidentalgenealogist.com/) presents Fearless Females: 31 Blogging Prompts to Celebrate Women's History Month.
March 3 — Do you share a first name with one of your female ancestors? Perhaps you were named for your great-grandmother, or your name follows a particular naming pattern. If not, then list the most unique or unusual female first name you've come across in your family tree.
"Asenath" is my 3rd great-grandmother going back on my Dad's maternal line. Her father, John BUTLER, was a Revolutionary War soldier, born in Ireland. They were the first, and only, Irish relatives I have identified in my background; going back many generations in many lines.
At the time, it was first time I had even seen the name; have seen it, but only a few times, since. Nickname is "Sena" - later found a neice of Asenath who kept a hand-written diary with lots of "interesting" anecdotes about the family.
Families are Forever! ;-)

We believe that a school uniform is important:
We ask that all children wear the uniform and encourage them to maintain a good standard of clean and tidy dress in school.
The uniform is designed to be practical, maintainable and good value for money.
Hair accessories such as slides, ribbons bobbles, etc, should be fairly simple and if possible in school colours.
Parents are asked to ensure that all items are labelled clearly with their child's name.
For safety reasons we ask that the children do not wear jewellery in school.
For health reasons it is important that children are properly dressed for physical activity. PE kit should be kept in a named drawstring bag.
Lightweight, universal sports shorts with comfortable elasticated waist. A must have PE favourite.
100% Polyester
To help you order the correct size garment for your child we have developed a Parents Guide that provides you with detailed sizing specifications for all our garments. The guide also explains how to measure your child and provides basic wash care instructions to ensure the longevity of your garments.

Here is a path for walking barefoot on at Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland.
3. Fish and vegetables. Okay so these aren't Asian per se, but they're more Asian than Western. I have been good at eating these regularly. But wow, did I fail miserably these last two weeks. Here is a little honest insight into what an obsessive compulsive lady might eat when busy with call and research. The following is a list of everything I ate during the first 10 days after the marathon: rolls, chocolates, flødeboller (cream-filled chocolate), coffee, diet soda. No, that was not one day or one morning, but 10 straight days. Gained no weight, lost no weight and felt surprisingly fine. One really can live on just bread and water... for a while. It's just good it takes around 3 months to develop scurvy.

This is what the ultramarathon is about: using your legs to get from one place to another in the stunning majesty of nature.
None of this rat in a cage 2km asphalt loop or treadmill nonsense.
Thank you Moses Løvstad, Jesper Halvorsen, the artists previously known as Team Suunto, and your wonderful family and friend volunteers, for an unforgettable 60k. This was the Danish ultra event of the year (I'm willing to bet). Dare I say you guys are onto something big?
Since October, I have had too much pain in my right leg to even attempt a marathon (though of course I did attempt the Bandera 100k and dropped after that right leg locked up). Luckily, shorter distances have been okay. Finally, about a month ago, I was diagnosed by my physicial therapist (and fellow ultra runner), Jakob Nordholt Hansen, with a protruding disc, which had been causing the radiating pain down my right leg. Right before Griseløbet, he did something to my back by pressing hard that took the pain in my leg away - after some intense, continuous yoga and stretching, I can run long again - and what perfect timing for Fyr til Fyr
I have a lot to say about this race (including the return of CCU and the eating of a ton of snow (not in that order)), but would rather let the pictures do the talking for now.

PHOENIX -- Manny Ramirez's hamstring injury will keep him out of spring training games for at least a week.
"We're just going to lay low till we get rid of this," Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Monday. "We're just going to keep him out. I can't give you a time because I don't know the time, but it's certainly going to be through the weekend and probably beyond that."
Ramirez aggravated his sore left hamstring Sunday while playing the outfield for the first time this spring.
The Dodgers slugger first had trouble with his hamstring last week, when he was scratched from the lineup Thursday in what was supposed to be his exhibition debut. He played Friday as the designated hitter, sat out Saturday and started in left field Sunday against Colorado.
While chasing Troy Tulowitzki's fourth-inning double into the left-field corner, Ramirez felt his hamstring grab. He was removed from the game when the Dodgers came to bat.
Now, the Dodgers are playing it safe by keeping Ramirez out of games, even though he will continue to hit in workouts.
"A thing we're certainly not going to attempt to do is take a chance with this, and once you start playing it never goes away," Torre said.
Torre said if Ramirez gets "a week or so of at-bats, it should be enough" for the slugger to be ready for Opening Day.
The 36-year-old Ramirez began working out with the Dodgers on March 4, a day after re-signing with the team by agreeing to a $45 million, two-year contract.
Torre said Ramirez is upset about the lingering injury.
"He was frustrated," the manager said. "He's always in a good frame of mind pretty much, but he certainly doesn't like the inactivity."

John Bogle hates exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and he makes no bones about it — for example, read what he says in the November cover story of Research Magazine.
As the founder of the Vanguard Group and an index investing pioneer, he remains an influential voice and champion of the individual investor. But are his criticisms of ETFs accurate?
Let's analyze three arguments.
1) ETFs Encourage Day Trading
Do ETFs induce investors to become day traders?
A recent Vanguard study, titled "ETFs: For the better or bettor?" debunked this popular claim.
The chart (below) shows a distribution of investments held for longer than one year sorted by the average annual rate of investment reversals. As illustrated, 99% of traditional mutual fund investments and 95% of ETF investments do not exceed a rate of four reversals per year. Moreover, less than 1% of Vanguard ETF positions averaged more than one investment reversal per month.
The report said, "Although behavior in ETFs is more active than behavior in traditional mutual funds, some of that difference is simply due to the fact that investors who are inclined to trade choose ETFs, not that investors who choose ETFs are induced to trade. We conclude that the ETF 'temptation effect' is not a significant reason for long-term individual investors to avoid using appropriate ETF investments as part of a diversified investment portfolio."
2) ETF Costs are Rising
ETF critics correctly observe that the average expenses for ETFs are still low, but not as cheap as before. The average expense ratio for ETFs has increased to 0.56% in 2012 from 0.39% in 2005. But straight "averages" are deceptive.
By comparison, asset-weighted averages, where the largest ETFs carry more weight than smaller ones, render a more accurate picture of the actual costs ETF investors are paying. According to Vanguard's research, the asset-weighted average expense ratio for ETFs is a substantially lower amount: 0.32% versus the simple average of 0.56%.
"We've found that when you take a closer look at the data, the averages are misleading because most of the money is flowing into lower-cost ETFs," says Joel Dickson, a principal and senior investment strategist with Vanguard Investment Strategy Group. "It's sort of the reverse of the Lake Wobegon effect."
In this case, Dickson says, "most investor dollars are below average in terms of the costs they are paying."
What about widening ETF bid/ask spreads? Here, too, straight "averages" are deceptive. The asset-weighted average spread is a negligible 0.04% – a far cry from the 0.31% "average" industry figure cited by critics.
3) ETFs Lack Diversification
It's true that certain ETFs, especially single-country and industry sector funds, hold just a handful of stocks and lack broad diversification. But that still doesn't negate the fact that other ETFs do offer the same kind of broad asset coverage that Bogle has long championed.
Funds like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI), iShares Core Total US Bond Market ETF (AGG) and SPDR MSCI ACWI IMI ETF (ACIM) offer broad securities diversification and that's why they've become popular portfolio building tools. And there are many other excellent ETFs like them.
Diehards of traditional index mutual funds rarely mention how their beloved products are limited to stocks and bonds, whereas ETFs aren't.
Investors can now obtain broader asset coverage with diversified ETFs that cover commodities (GCC), global TIPS (GTIP), global real estate (RWO) and even precious metals (GLTR). True diversification is not a distorted academic viewpoint that says stocks and bonds give people everything they need to own, but rather, an unobstructed approach that embraces all major asset classes.
Conclusion: Investor Behavior Is the Real Problem
In reality, Bogle's complaints against ETFs are misdirected criticisms about the problems associated with investor behavior. The truth is that investors with a propensity to self-destruct will do so regardless of what type of financial product they choose.
A 2011 study of Bogle's beloved mutual funds from DALBAR, a Boston-based research firm, confirms this. Their 20-year study showed that mutual fund investors achieved a mere 41.9% of the S&P 500′s performance over the two-decade period that ended on December 31, 2010. Should we interpret this data to mean that all mutual funds are bad, as Bogle does with ETFs? Hardly! Instead, the data clearly proves that fund investors are horrible market timers.
Likewise, the misapplication of ETFs in portfolio management is a user problem and not the fault of ETFs. Similarly, most automobile accidents are caused by driving errors, not design flaws. Should we return to the era of horses and buggies because there are too many automobile accidents? Only a cave person with a pre-historic mentality would agree.
The fact is that ETFs are an extension of the index investing philosophy Bogle started back in the 1970s. And despite his relentless and mostly irrational arguments against them, it's hard to dislike John Bogle, even when he's dead wrong.

Aung San Suu Kyi, once a prisoner, is now a parliamentarian. On April 1, the Nobel Laureate led the National League for Democracy to victory in by-elections hailed as a landmark for Burma. For five decades, the former British colony has languished under military rule, caught in the clutch of a small group of cadres. This was just the third poll since they seized power in 1962 and the first that might plausibly be called free or fair. Suu Kyi's party swept it, claiming 43 of 44 seats.
For Suu Kyi, who spent much of the last 20 years under house arrest, the win was a stunning reversal. For her followers, it was a revelation. On the streets of Rangoon last week, the joy and relief were palpable. Supporters piled into pickup trucks, honked horns and cheered. A year ago, you could be arrested for clutching a portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi. Now, people wave her picture proudly.
James Nachtwey's photographs from the campaign trail capture this rapturous moment, but hint, too, at challenges to come. Though voters handed a clear victory to the opposition NLD, just a small portion of parliamentary seats were at stake and reports of electoral infractions abound. The military maintains its grip on power. Poverty persists. After 50 years of authoritarian rule, it no doubt will take time for the country to find its footing. For Suu Kyi, and for Burma, there is a long road ahead.

House Speaker Thom Tillis may have more name recognition than many of the other candidates in Republican U.S. Senate primary, but that has not translated into more support among voters.
New numbers released this week by Public Policy Polling find that Tillis leads the GOP field for the upcoming May 6th primary with 18% of the support among potential voters. That compares with 15% for Greg Brannon, 11% for Mark Harris, 7% for Heather Grant, 6% for Ted Alexander, 5% for Alex Bradshaw, 2% for Jim Snyder, and 1% for Edward Kryn.
And while 34% of voters remain undecided, PPP suggests Tillis would need to win most of them to reach the 40% mark and avoid a summer runoff.
Dr. Andy Taylor, a political science professor at N.C. State University, says Tillis has failed to breakaway from his Republican challengers, struggling to portray himself as the best candidate to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Hagan in November.
Taylor joins us this weekend on News & Views with Chris Fitzsimon to handicap the Senate race and discuss the role of big money in the political process.
For those wanting to hear more from the candidates, Time Warner Cable News will broadcast an hour-long debate April 22 at Davidson College featuring all eight of the Republican challengers hoping for a chance to unseat Sen. Hagan.
Early voting for the May primary begins April 24th.

What freeze? Near 80 this coming weekend
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Saturday and Sunday nights were the coldest so far this year.
We bottomed out at a chilly 26 degrees before dawn Sunday and reached a frigid 24 degrees early Monday. Widespread frost was observed across the entire viewing area, which would have been fatal to any exposed tender plants.
The rebound has begun and temperatures near 80 degrees heading into next weekend -- some 30 to 35 degrees warmer than this past weekend. The warm weather is going to be with us for a while and no freezes are in sight.
That's the good news.
The bad news is we're still in February and the models are once again hinting at the possibility of even colder air making its way into the region by the first week of March. Bear in mind that this is still a two weeks out, but the possibility does exist of more arctic air invading the region before Spring finally dawns here in Florida.
We'll keep you updated.

Aperture 3.3 (or later) and iPhoto 9.3 (or later) use a new library format that lets you open both iPhoto and Aperture libraries using either application. This "unified" library format also allows you to merge multiple Aperture and iPhoto libraries together to create a single library with all your photos. You can then continue to use the library in both iPhoto and Aperture.
Merging libraries iPhoto libraries in Aperture
Before you start, you must have opened each iPhoto library you intend to merge at least once in iPhoto 9.3 or later.
To merge the libraries:
- Open Aperture 3.3 or later.
- Click the File menu and choose Switch to Library > Other/New. Use the library selector to choose one of the iPhoto libraries you'd like to merge.
- Choose File > Import > Library
- Select one of the remaining iPhoto libraries you wish to merge.
- Repeat steps 3-4 for each additional iPhoto library you wish to merge.
The library you started with in step 2 above includes content from all the merged libraries. The other libraries are still present (and useable) on your computer. Once you have confirmed that the unified library is working correctly, you may wish to remove the other libraries from your hard drive. It is a good idea to back up all your libraries before doing so.

Physics can be so ingenious
We don't allow cooking vapours and smells to arise in the air first, instead we suction them right away on the spot where they are generated - straight at the cooktop or from the saucepan, roaster, pan, grill. And we do this not by magic but by applying the basic principles of fluid mechanics. For this we simply use a cross flow which is greater than the speed at which the cooking vapours rise.

While global investment in clean energy fell by 11 percent in 2012, the dip still left last year as the second most successful year ever for the sector. And despite the speed bump, the planet's installed capacity to generate wind power shot up from 238 gigawatts to slightly more than 282 gigawatts last year, according to numbers compiled by the Global Wind Energy Council.
The increase was driven by China and the United States, which both installed roughly 13 gigawatts a pop, bringing their cumulative totals to 75.6 gigawatts and 60 gigawatts, respectively. The GWEC's numbers for the spike in U.S. wind capacity are a bit higher than the 10.7 gigawatts reported recently by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission — but even under that lower estimate, wind's newly installed capacity beat out every other form of American power.
Overall, the 2011 to 2012 jump reported by the GWEC was almost 20 percent:
How much power these new installations generate? In 2010, American wind power utilized 27.4 percent of its nameplate capacity. But that's the nature of wind, and the increase in capacity is a sign of wind's economic viability. Bloomberg New Energy Finance just released new research concluding that wind power in Australia is already cheaper than coal and natural gas — and its cost superiority remained even when the price Australia charges polluters to emit carbon is discounted.
Breaking down the numbers by global region, Europe's wind capacity continued chugging along the steady upward trajectory it's been on for the last eight years. North America's annual capacity additions have been on a much more dramatic upward swing, and after dropping in 2010 and 2011, shot back upward dramatically, topping Europe for the first time. Asia, too, has been rising very rapidly over the last few years, though its new capacity in 2012 fell a bit from highs of over 20 gigawatts in 2010 and 2011.
The GWEC chalked Asia's 2012 slowdown up to market consolidation in China and "a lapse in policy" in India. The North American spike was driven by a last minute dash in the U.S. to take advantage of the production tax credit (PTC) for wind: 8 gigawatts of the country's total 13 gigawatts were installed in the final quarter of last year. Wind's PTC was anticipated to die with the arrival of the "fiscal cliff" — which would've likely damaged both jobs and the progress of renewable energy in America — but the January deal that averted the cliff also extended the tax credit for another year.
The fight over the PTC led to a split in the GOP, as Republicans from states with high levels of wind power development lined up behind extending the tax credit in opposition to the rest of their party. Tea party Rep. Steve King (R-IA), of all people, told a recent policy forum that Congress has "got to be a more reliable partner" in promoting renewable energy.

The Knights led 4-3 until the 15-minute mark when the Rams took their first lead of the game, 6-4, on a layup and free throw by senior forward Natasha Smalls (Harlem, N.Y.). Mount Saint Mary went ahead six minutes later after a three-pointer from senior guard Jen Mocanu (Belford, N.J.) for an 11-9 advantage. Farmingdale took back a quick lead, but the Knights would hold the 25-21 edge at the break.
In the second, the Rams scored on their first two possessions to cut the deficit to three points, 28-25 with 18 left to play. Junior guard Jeanette Zubizarreta (Bay Shore, N.Y.) hit her first of two free throws to tie the game at 37-37 with 12:24 on the clock, then hit the second to give Farmingdale the 38-37 advantage. The Rams would lead the rest of the way and take the victory.
Farmingdale had three players in double figures. Senior guard Kayla Koch (Kings Park, N.Y.) scored 13 points, while Zubizaretta and junior forward Baytania Newman (Brooklyn, N.Y.) scored 10 points a piece.
The Knights scoring was led by Mocanu with a game-high 27 points and five steals. Senior guard Amanda Horvers (Kingston, N.Y.) finished with a game-high seven rebounds along with six points.
The Rams will travel to face St. Joseph's on Wednesday, February 1st at 5:30 p.m.

There has been rumors that someone sneaks into the Kings wine cellar at night and empties the casks. People are starting to wonder if the nightly foe might also be able to make the largest of the kings barrels any lighter.
I have't seen anyone use this approach to make big barrels, so i thought I'd post a moc just because of that. There may be people that have done it. I just haven't seen it.
Edit Greenglo used a similar technique (expanded in the middle) in his CCCVI entry.
Brickshelf page when public
I had my brother-in-law (SirJakob) home for a short visit form Australia, and we sat in the basement building mocs yesterday. It was fun. This is what i scrambled together. I notice now that i forgot to add flat tiles up-around the ledge where the barrels are.. perhaps i'll update the photos at some stage.
