Well, Humboldtians, I am just bursting at the seams with thrilling foodiness. We'll start with our stalwart olive-maker friend, Henry Robertson, who has new additions to his usual smorgasbord of delicious unctuousness. His latest olives come from the Winnett Vineyards, a small organic winery and olivery in Willow Creek. The eventual plan is to make olive oil, but they don't have quite enough olives yet, so Henry started making small batches of salt-brined, very local olives, delicious and wee. They're not the rich, plush Henry's olives we are used to; these are relatively fleshless and concrete, but intense -- really good.
Henry also has this new version of Moroccan preserved Meyer lemons. Preserved lemons are a little intimidating -- eating lemon rind? -- but seriously, can three million Moroccans be wrong? Henry uses Meyer lemons, which is an interesting touch. The rind of the Meyer is thinner and sweeter; hence it might be more palatable to our American aversion to actually eating peel.
They are an excellent addition to vinaigrettes and virtually any Middle Eastern-inspired fish dish. Throw some thinly chopped preserved lemons, raisins, green olives and thinly sliced potatoes over any heavily buttered filet and roast at 350 for 25 minutes.
I quote: "They have a great flavor -- just lemon and salt, but with an indescribable intensity. Give them a month before using -- they just get better and better."
Sterilize a 1 1/2 qt. glass jar.
Put 2 Tbs. kosher salt in the bottom.
Scrub 6 large, choice lemons with soap and hot water and rinse well.
Cut them into quarters the long way, but leave them attached at one end.
Put 1 Tbs. salt inside each lemon, and cram the lemons into the jar, pressing as best you can.
Pour fresh lemon juice over to cover -- that should take about 8 lemons worth.
Seal the jar and refrigerate for a month or two.
The white part of the rind will become translucent.
To use, take out a piece and scrape out the pulp and discard.
Chop the rind. It's salty, so adjust recipes accordingly.
The salty juice can be saved for another batch or used itself for lemony cooking.
The Sustainable Expo last weekend was full of warm, familiar faces. The Alexandres of Alexandre Farms assure me they are doing their best to keep up with demand for the Best Pork Ever (see Table Talk "Hog Heaven," May 23, 2010). I've found it to be pretty consistently available, and always of superb quality, though Doug at the Co-op says on occasion demand outstrips supply.
I was really excited to learn about the Humboldt Poultry Cooperative, who tell me they are supplementing their traveling abattoir trailer by "offering a small-scale processing equipment package called 'Junior' for rent to the community." You supply the birds and knives; H.P.C. supplies killing cones, a scalder, chill tank, plucker and (best of all) an essential stainless steel table. It's a hundred bucks to rent -- pick up the evening before, drop off the evening after. There's an orientation (mandatory) on March 26. E-mail them at Info@HumboldtPoultry.com to save a spot or for more details (their website doesn't say anything).
I personally am not so much the home slaughtering-type, but I know so many soft-hearted folks in Manila 'n' such that can't bear the thought of simply wringing a bird's head off. That is how our Laotian neighbors do it and it seems quite effective, although not for the faint of heart. So this idea seems like an affordable way of humanely and properly preparing your own homegrown antibiotic-free local poultry. You can. Just think, your very own killing cones for a whole day! But honestly, for $100, you probably need to have quite a flock or a few friends with birds to make it worth your while -- kind of like canning or pressing cider -- so much prep there's no point unless you go big.
Another chicken thing: Why did both Mary's and Rocky's brand chicken thighs start being packaged four to a container? That's a very awkward number -- not really enough to feed a family but too much for a couple.
Here's a quick family favorite chickish dish. It makes lots of sauce for your rice or fried Brussels sprouts.
Brush mushrooms off. Heat a little oil in a large casserole pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and herbs. It will sizzle fantastically. Stir until liquid comes out and evaporates. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
Separate breasts into large flat pieces; pound to thin and tenderize. Sprinkle breasts with lemon juice, salt and pepper; dredge in flour.
In same pan over medium heat, sear pieces on each side two by two, adding a minimal amount of oil each time.
Return mushrooms and chicken to pan, and add the yogurt.
Turn down flame very low and cover, until simmering hot.
Do not boil or the yogurt will separate.
Simmer about 2 more minutes; finish with lots of fresh pepper. Serve with rice.
Jada Brotman grew up in Arcata before moving to the U.K. and then New York City, where she cut a wide swath in the world of cheese. Insert joke here. She returned to the home of her fathers four years ago, and now works as a journalist and seasons her crepe pans in downtown Arcata.


Summary: In the days and times of the world we live in, it is important that Women can continue to serve as great Christian mothers. Possessing all that is needed to assist her husband and children.
The nineteenth-century artist James Abbot McNeil Whistler was most famous for the oil painting of his mother. Many art critics consider Whistler's painting of his mother to be one of the world's masterpieces.
An inspired writer from Israel gave a majestic word picture of a mother. It is recorded in Proverbs 31:10-31, and it ranks as a literary masterpiece. This portrait, like Whistler's, is old fashioned in some respects, but although fashions and lifestyles change, the beautiful inner qualities of godly women will be admired generation after generation.
Let us study this picture in Proverbs. It will help us honor our mothers and will inspire them to imitate the biblical portrait.
a. The more you read through the writer's literary picture of a mother here in Proverbs the more you see the idea of companionship showing up in the picture.
b. The woman has camaraderie with her husband.
i. In the writer's day, wives shared in domestic responsibilities with their husbands.
iii. Women provided clothing and food.
iv. Teamwork in all areas of life was vital to marital stability.
v. It was not a 50/50 relationship, it was a 100/100 relationship.
i. There is more to motherhood than just giving birth to children.
a. Do you see the idea of nurture emerging in the text?
b. Mother could be a synonym for nurture.
c. To nurture means the mothers attends to the needs of both her husband and children.
d. Biological capability to reproduce does not make a woman a nurturing mother.
i. Motherhood is not basically a biological act or a physical relationship.
ii. Many women give birth to a child or to children but never become real mothers.
iii. Some regard children as a personal accomplishment or a biological accident.
iv. Others treat children as objects – toys to be played with, dolls to be dressed, tools for manipulating a spouse, or a means to gain benefits.
e. Nurturing a child means accepting responsibility.
ii. It means assuming responsibility to help develop the life of a child.
iii. It means getting involved with children – hurting, laughing, and crying with them, and experiencing good and bad times together.
"It has no mother," Johnny replied.
An electrical lamp will serve the needs of a chick. It will hatch the egg and preserve the chick until it is old enough to face life, but that is about all. Mothers can give warm beds, nutritious meals, and adequate clothing but still fail to nurture.
a. Many people speak of motherhood as a qualification for sainthood, but the fact is, many mothers are far from that.
i. In 2 Tim. 3:6-7 Paul speaks about women who were carried away by many kinds of false doctrines.
ii. In 1 Tim 5:11-13 and Titus 2:2-5 Paul describes women who travel from house to house spending their time in gossip and slander.
1. Probably many, if not most, of these women were mothers, but they were not good women.
iii. One of the saddest words written about a mother was written concerning Ahaziah, king of Judah.
b. Good mothers come as a result of a relationship with the Lord.
ii. The biblical writer used the word "Lord," the name used to describe a covenant relationship.
iii. The only way to become good is by a relationship with the Lord.
iv. Godly mothers have had good influence.
1. Augustine, the great 14th century preacher and theologian, was influended by his mother, Monica.
2. He admitted that his mother's principles and actions affected him.
3. She prayed fervently for Augustine's conversion.
Look again at the biblical portrait of a mother. She is not just a nice woman. Instead, she is a companion for he husband and children. A biblical mother gives her children more than life: she nurtures by deed and demonstration. A mother can fulfill her role only through the power of the Lord in her life.
Do you resemble the mother in the biblical picture?
In the days and times of the world we live in, it is important that Women can continue to serve as great Christian mothers. Possessing all that is needed to assist her husband and children.

Blues sensation Fantastic Negrito releases new single 'The Suit That Won't Come Off'
Comments Off on Blues sensation Fantastic Negrito releases new single 'The Suit That Won't Come Off'
After an incredible show at Black Deer festival at the weekend, Fantastic Negrito is marking the one year anniversary of his GRAMMY Award-winning album, PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD, with the premiere of a powerful new video for the track 'The Suit That Won't Come Off'.
Shot on location at the Swiss Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, 'The Suit That Won't Come Off' was directed by acclaimed 18-year-old filmmaker Freddy Macdonald – his third collaboration with Fantastic Negrito following 'The Duffler' (shot on location at the Baden Blues Festival in Switzerland) and 'A Boy Named Andrew' (filmed at various locations in Milan, Italy). In addition, 'The Suit That Won't Come Off' further showcases the remarkable work of dancer Odil Gerfaut and choreographer Angele Carole Chappuis, both of whom are visually handicapped.
Fantastic Negrito has also teamed up with the Braille Institute to raise money for their organization – you can donate HERE.
"Our freedom comes when we face our fear," says Fantastic Negrito. "It comes when we embrace and celebrate what makes us unique. We grew up feeling like outsiders; a lost tribe. Sometimes isolated or ashamed about what was unique about us. We could not fit into society's repressed fantasies of how the world should look, how it should be. This song is for everyone that ever felt left out, not good enough, imperfect, ridiculed for being different a freak. I am you, you are me, we are we — A tribe with love in our hearts. #negritonation."
Long hailed for his electrifying live performances (watch 'Plastic Hamburgers' live on Jools Holland here), this weekend also sees Fantastic Negrito playing Glastonbury Festival ahead of further live highlights, which includes Lollapalooza (August 1-4) and a return to the UK for Greenbelt Festival (August 24).
Fantastic Negrito will also be playing a host of many more headline shows and festivals dates across Europe and the US. For ticket information, please visit fantasticnegrito.com/pages/tour.

Trump needed to show Soleimani was an imminent threat to assassinate him — and could be in dangerous legal territory now he's abandoned the argument
Home | Politics | Trump needed to show Soleimani was an imminent threat to assassinate him — and could be in dangerous legal territory now he's abandoned the argument
President Donald Trump in a tweet Monday attacked Democrats and the media for scrutinizing his argument that he was justified in ordering the assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani because he posed an imminent threat to US citizens.
"The Fake News Media and their Democrat Partners are working hard to determine whether or not the future attack by terrorist Soleimani was 'imminent' or not, & was my team in agreement," Trump tweeted. "The answer to both is a strong YES., but it doesn't really matter because of his horrible past!"
Legal experts say the question of whether Soleimani presented an imminent threat really does matter in deciding whether Trump had the legal grounds to order the assassination of a foreign general in another country.
Some claim that the by ordering the killing on a flimsy legal basis Trump has set a dangerous precedent, endangering US officials abroad.
President Donald Trump's key argument that Iranian general Qassem Soleimani posed an imminent threat to the US was crumbling Monday, when in a classic Trumpian show of disdain for the rules he declared that it was never really that important anyway.

'Loving' review: Interracial couple fights for equality in powerful, moving drama
Originally published November 17, 2016 at 12:00 am Updated November 17, 2016 at 9:07 am
Movie review of "Loving": It's the quiet, tiny moments between the Lovings (Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga) that make this a must-see film. Rating: 3-and-a-half stars out of 4.
Seattle Times movie critic
"Loving" begins with quiet — not dead silence, but the faintly humming stillness of a rural front porch on a summer night. Listen to it, because that sound is what motivates the people in Jeff Nichols' sensitive film, and what characterizes the film itself. In a remarkable true-life story, a couple embarks on a yearslong fight for justice: not because they are thinking of history, not because they want to draw any attention to themselves, but because they simply want to raise their family in their tiny hometown of Central Point, Va., hearing those soft crickets at twilight.
Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga), a white man and an African-American/Native-American woman, were forced to leave Virginia after their 1958 wedding — then illegal under state law forbidding interracial marriage. After years in Washington, D.C., they returned to Central Point, and with help from an ACLU lawyer (Nick Kroll), their case went to the Supreme Court of the United States. Low-key and unassuming, the Lovings — was there ever a couple with so appropriate a name? — declined to attend the hearing. He, a bricklayer, went to work; she stayed home with the children.
Movie Review ★★★½
'Loving,' with Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga, Marton Csokas, Nick Kroll, Terri Abney, Alano Miller, Jon Bass, Michael Shannon. Written and directed by Jeff Nichols. 123 minutes. Rated PG-13 for thematic elements. Several theaters.
It's a film about heroism and the right to love, told without stirring speeches. Instead, it unfolds movingly in the tiny moments between Richard and Mildred, two people who have, quite simply, found a home in each other. Watch how Edgerton's Joel, a stoic man of few words, puts an arm around Mildred without seeming to think about it, naturally wanting her near; watch how Negga lets her performance speak through her expressive eyes, always looking for Richard.

The film droops a bit when the lawyers take over for a late sequence, but just try to shake the image of the couple, at the end, facing reporters as Richard's head trembles on Mildred's shoulder. The two of them, at that moment, see nothing but each other: just the Lovings, loving.

Trump trial gets more pointed with Bolton book at the center
Lisa Mascaro, Eric Tucker and Zeke Miller
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's impeachment trial shifted swiftly to pointed, back-and-forth questioning Wednesday as Republicans strained to contain the fallout over John Bolton's forthcoming book, which threatens their hopes of ending the trial with a quick acquittal.
The day started simply enough. Three Republican senators asked Trump's legal team: If there was more than one motive for Trump's conduct in Ukraine, as he pushed for political investigations of Joe Biden, should the Senate still consider the Biden pressure an abuse of power?
White House lawyer Pat Philbin responded there's nothing wrong with the president acting on a personal as well as national interest. He declared the charge against Trump "absurd."
Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer sparked lively debate asking whether the Senate could really render a fair verdict without calling Bolton or acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to testify.
"There's no way to have a fair trial without witnesses," responded Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democrat leading the prosecution for the House.
"Don't wait for the book. Don't wait 'til March 17, when it is in black and white to find out the answer to your question," Schiff told the Senate.
That publication date is now in doubt. The White House on Wednesday released a letter to Bolton's attorney objecting to "significant amounts of classified information" in the manuscript, including at the top secret level. Bolton and his attorney have insisted that the book does not contain any classified information.
The White House action could delay the book's publication if Bolton, who resigned last September — Trump says he was fired — is forced to revise his draft.
Wednesday's questions ping-ponged in a spirited hours-long debate, a last gasp at closing arguments from the House prosecutors and Trump's defense ahead of critical voting this week.
Fielding the written questions, Chief Justice John Roberts asked them of Trump's accusers and defenders.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell privately told senators he doesn't yet have the votes to brush back Democratic demands for witnesses now that revelations from Bolton have roiled the trial.
Republican ideas for dealing with Bolton and his book were fizzling almost as soon as they arose — among them, a witness "swap" with Democrats or issuing a subpoena for Bolton's manuscript.
GOP senators are sternly warned by party leaders that calling Bolton as a witness could entangle the trial in lengthy legal battles and delay Trump's expected acquittal.
Philbin made exactly that case in his response to Democrats' first question: "This institution will effectively be paralyzed for months on end," he said.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Main tried to give fresh momentum to a one-for-one witness deal saying it's "very important that there be fairness, that each side be able to select a witness or two." But Democrats dismissed those offers, especially as Republicans want to draw Joe Biden's son, Hunter, deeper into the proceedings.
"It's irrelevant. It's a distraction," said Schumer.
Bolton writes in a forthcoming book that Trump told him he wanted to withhold military aid from Ukraine until it helped with investigations into Democratic rival Joe Biden. That assertion, if true, would undercut a key defense argument and go to the heart of one of the two articles of impeachment against the president.
"I think Bolton probably has something to offer us," said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. She met privately Wednesday with McConnell.
Trump disagreed in a tweet Wednesday in which he complained that Bolton, after he left the White House, "goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security."
The uncertainty about witnesses arises days before crucial votes on the issue. In a Senate split 53-47 in favor of Republicans, at least four GOP senators must join all Democrats to reach the 51 votes required to call witnesses, decide whom to call or do nearly anything else in the trial.
Collins, Murkowski and Utah Sen. Mitt Romney signaled an interest in calling Bolton or other witnesses and questions and answers at times appeared directed directly at them.
One Democrat, the centrist Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, said he wouldn't have a problem hearing from Hunter Biden, who was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, but doubted it will happen.
Most Republican senators don't want to call Bolton and most Democrats would rather avoid dragging the Bidens further into the impeachment proceedings. The Bidens were a focus of defense arguments though no evidence of wrongdoing has emerged.
One person watching from the sidelines Wednesday was Lev Parnas, the indicted associate of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who arrived at the Capitol saying, "I want to testify." Parnas, who has turned over evidence for the proceedings, cannot enter the Senate with his court-ordered electronic-tracking device.
Protesters swarmed the Capitol complex throughout the day, many demanding a fair trial.
The two days set aside for questions, Wednesday and today, also allow each side more time to win over any undecided senators pondering the witness issue. In the meantime, all will have the opportunity to grill both the House Democrats prosecuting the case and the Republican president's defense team.

Why President Bush Went to China
RUSH: We'll go to Baltimore. This is Marsha. Marsha, it's one of my all-time favorite top ten female names. Nice to have you with us.
CALLER: Oh, nice to talk to you, Rush, nice to talk to you.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: Rush, I wanted to tell you that I think it's disgraceful that President Bush went to communist China, and why couldn't he have a line in the sand saying no? You know, that's an awfully repressive —
RUSH: Now, wait a second, wait a second, I kind of disagree with this. Why should we send our athletes, then? If the president isn't going to go, if we're going to say it's inappropriate for the president to go, and, by the way, the trip was deductible. He had some meetings with Hu Jintao, and you never know what was discussed there, but I mean if we're not going to send the president, we gotta not send the team, right?
CALLER: Well, if you want to look at it that way. However, the Germans sent a team and the chancellor didn't go. She didn't go.
RUSH: That's right. I forgot. I forgot. We're supposed to be imitating the Europeans. You have a good point. That's right. And Sarkozy didn't go. Sarkozy's world savior number two behind Obama because he's over there solving the crisis after Obama told him to solve it in Georgia.
CALLER: Well, it's just that they suffer so much there. It's such a repressive — their faces are like stone —
RUSH: Look, I know exactly what you're saying. Let me get serious. I'm kind of in a jocular mood. This is the second night in a row I've had no more than three hours sleep and you know —
CALLER: I'm sorry.
RUSH: No, don't apologize. I'm thinking of making it a routine. My mind seems to work faster and I'm always in a funny little giddy mood. But this is really serious. We have the dressing up here. I know what you're getting at, and you're worried that the president is, and our presence is, sanctioning this. We have the dressing up of an oppressive regime to make it look like something it's not. That opening ceremony and all the happy-go-lucky funny and happy little Chinese children running around, they don't show you what's going on in Tibet; they don't show you the political prisoners; they don't tell you what they're doing to the Falun Gong, and we have to sit there and listen to the syrupy, soap opera lingo from the NBC commentators telling us what a wonderful place it is. The ChiComs are pulling off something here for people that don't know history. They're doing exactly what Hitler wanted to do with the Olympics he had in 1936, and that's put a face on his regime that is 180 degrees out of phase with reality. And that's what the ChiComs are doing as well. By the way, I was very gratified, I read George Will today. He saw that opening ceremony the exact same way I did: totalitarian sameness.
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: The elimination of the individual, the elimination of even individual identities. Nothing but 15,000 identically dressed, identically performing, synchronized performances, identical looking people.
CALLER: It's unbelievable.
RUSH: Well, no, it's totally believable.
CALLER: It's sad.
RUSH: They've learned how to use our media. Mr. Snerdley, our program observer has a question. Do you mind if I ask him a question, Marsha?
CALLER: No.
RUSH: What's the question, Snerdley? Now, see, Marsha, Snerdley is very upset with you, he wanted me to pass on to you, 'What, we're supposed to pull out like Carter did and not go to the Moscow Olympics?'
CALLER: Well, this is my opinion. I don't know — you've kind of jumbled my thoughts a little bit, but I felt that President Bush shouldn't have gone.
RUSH: Well, it's too late now.
CALLER: Of course, yeah.
RUSH: He did go and you can't throw him out of office because that's going to happen constitutionally.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: So there's really nothing you can do but feel bad about it and that's not productive.
CALLER: No. No. But what can we do about communist China? Just pretend it doesn't exist or what?
RUSH: No, they own most of our debt, we are engaging them in a lot of economic activity. In fact, China is an interesting case study because the Chinese are doing their best to maintain their oppressive regime while at the same time importing as much capitalism as they can. They have no choice but than to do that. Communism cannot keep those leaders in power, and that population of a billion people fed. It just can't do it, unless they start building walls around the country and start killing people that try to get out of there, which they do, by the way. They oppress religions that they disagree with. They don't like any religion except communist, the state is the religion. But Hu Jintao, the premier and the leading ChiCom, has a daunting challenge. Like every leader, he wants to stay in office, he wants to stay in power, and he cannot have a citizenry that revolts. Now, they take care of a lot of this in the school system, like the national anthem, the hymn to the motherland that was sung. Those people are raised — this is the big problem that some Americans have with our public school system here, although on a smaller scale — every Chinese child is raised to believe that their god is the state and that their provider and guarantor is the state. They worship the state. When people don't worship the state and are renegades, that's when the tanks run them down in Tiananmen Square and that sort of thing, and that hasn't changed, you just don't see it as much.
American liberalism is much the same outlook in terms of where all benefits, wants, and needs, should come from. They should not come from individual labor. They should come from the government mandating that everybody get an equal share of all these things, and only then will we be a perfect nation. But Hu Jintao cannot run his entire country that way. There are a billion people. That requires a lot of commerce, a lot of jobs, he's gotta have people working. His biggest challenge is finding and creating 25 million new jobs a year and keeping them out of the cities. He's gotta find jobs out in the countryside in the hinterlands and keep them out of the cities. The cities are packed and overcrowded, polluted, and if those people come to the cities for work, then there's even more strain on the energy policies and the production. They wouldn't be able to keep up with it. So he's got huge problems. So he's missing capitalism in with the oppressive regime. The Russians failed at this with glasnost and perestroika. But the ChiComs have done it a little bit wiser. They have invested in the United States. They have bought a lot of our Treasury bill debt, and they have a little power over us in that way, and they're at the same time ginning up their military, and they're forming alliances with people that are our sworn enemies, primarily Iran and Middle Eastern countries, and they are sort of a buffer between us and North Korea as well. But if it came down to it they would side with the North Koreans over us — and if it comes down to Taiwan — (laughing) you know, I'll give you an example here to think of. The ChiComs are certainly watching what's happening with the Russian and Georgian situation. They have a similar situation with Taiwan.
They've wanted Taiwan back ever since the forties. It's nothing, it's a tiny little island compared to the mainland of China, but it represents renegades. It represents people who fled the mainland with Chiang Kai-shek, and want no part of communism. We have a treaty with Formosa, Taiwan, to defend them if the ChiComs attack. You better understand the ChiComs are no doubt watching how the rest of the world reacts to the Russian aggression in Georgia, and if they see that the United States, nor anybody else, is gonna do anything about that other than shout a bunch of words and send in a bunch of food and medicine, then they're going to make the calculation at some point they're going to be able to get away with taking Taiwan back. If they do it, it will not be because they need it for anything strategically. They're going to take it because they don't want people who are Chinese who are not communists who are living in freedom so near to the coastline of China. It's a bugaboo with them, it's going to always be, and they're going to at some point in the future, they are going to try to take it back just on principle.
So we can't disengage from China. We can't get ourselves out of the world. I remember the 1984 presidential campaign with Gary Hart(pence) and Walter Mondull. I was watching the debate with the guys one night, and they were arguing who would get us out of the world first. Mondull said, 'I'll get us on out of South Africa,' and Hart(pence) would try to upstage with getting out of some country. We cannot disengage from the world. We just can't do it. So the situation is what it is and we have to make the best of the fact that capitalism is finding its way into China and hope that that has some undermining effect of the repressive regime down the road. But that's something that human intelligence and other operations can foment and help. That's what we're actually trying to do with Iran, that's a very friendly population toward the United States and it's why we're not committing military action there because they don't want to anger the population there holding out hope that somebody will come to their rescue and take them away are from the footprints of the mullahs. Marsha, thanks for the call.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Vincent in Cranston, Rhode Island. I'm glad you called, sir. Nice to have you on the EIB Network.
CALLER: Hey, how you doing?
RUSH: Very well.
CALLER: Mega New England Patriots dittooooos.
RUSH: Thank you. Thank you very much.
CALLER: My comment was on a call a while ago about why the president appeared in China. I mean, you can't do something out of general love for your country anymore, people just don't believe it? I don't — I don't understand that.
RUSH: You mean president went over there because he loves America, loves —
RUSH: — the athletes, and wanted to show support? I, frankly, got the biggest kick out of watching Bush over there, just as an average fan waving his little flag and posing. He posed with all the athletes; he posed with the teams. He especially went down there and got very up close to the women's beach volleyball team. He knew where to go. He got photographed with the swimmers and so forth, and he's in the stands. He's not in some skybox. He's with his wife and one of his daughters. Now, you know there were Secret Service around, but you couldn't see 'em.
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: They just looked like they were fans. He was smiling, pointing at them. He's waving.
CALLER: The interview that they aired, he sounded phenomenal. He just knew exactly what to say. You know, he just sounded like (garbled)
RUSH: Is that the interview with Bob Costas?
RUSH: Yeah, how many race questions did Costas ask? That's his favorite subject.
CALLER: (laughs) It was… I just remember that he answered. Everything he said was just, you know, right on point, which is phenomenal.
RUSH: It was good. I saw he was asked about the situation over in Georgia —
CALLER: Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
RUSH: — and what he's doing with Hu Jintao and the ChiCom leadership.
CALLER: Mmm-hmm.
RUSH: Well, look, Vincent, I'm glad you waited to make that point because it is interesting. I did get a kick out of it. He's a big sports fan anyway, but he just looked like he was really, really having a good time. Those pictures, I'm sure, were part and parcel of inspiring the audience as well.


Buy Silver!? Thinking Of Investing In Silver? Your Guide To Silver And Its Uses.
Why Buy Silver? Why Now?
How Is This Precious Metal Useful?
If nuclear energy is going to take a back seat, silver as a vital energy metal is central to renewable energies.
Are you optimistic about our growing global future? Buy silver.
As an industrial metal (most electrically conductive and light reflecting metal in the world), it is required and demand is rising.
Steel and copper were major metals of the last century. Silver is a metal of our times and beyond. It is a commodity upon which modern and new age life are dependent.
The Berkey water filter is a prime example - modern use of an age old idea.
Silver averaged an increase of 24.3% annually against the USD, 20.9% against the EUR, 23% against the GBP, and 18.5% against the CAD.
Here is a chart of the Dow Jones to Silver ratio. In 2002, the value of 2500 silver ounces equaled the index; today, just 350 ounces. The times, they are a changing... and 10 oz Silver Bars are selling fast.
Worried about the future, inflating currencies, debt and credit crisis? Buy silver. Unlike paper currencies, silver, (sound money) will always have value.
Silver clocked in a price increase of 85% against the USD and 95% against the EUR.
1. It is a very useful metal and supplies are dwindling! As the most reflective and most electrically and thermally conductive metal on Earth it is a key component of solar panels, high efficiency batteries, ipods, computers and cell phones. Silver is used medicinally because it is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-viral. It is being utilized more and more in water purification, clothing, food containers, and in mineral solutions such as colloidal silver.
2. It is currently undervalued. The historical Gold to Silver ratio (GSR) has been 1:16. For example 1 ounce of gold bullion was of equal value to 16 ounces of silver bullion. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, silver is about 16 times more abundant than Gold in the Earth's crust. With the GSR back to 1:16, with the gold price at $1500 USD/oz, that would equal $94 silver. Many experts believe that the silver price has been manipulated and suppressed.
3. Central Banks Worldwide are recklessly printing money. People like you are waking up and silver demand as a store of value is growing quickly. Silver coins and gold coins have been the worlds currencies for 3000 years and are globally becoming recognized as such once again. From China to India, the Americas to Europe, people are buying silver bullion coins and bars. Folks are losing confidence in the fiat money experiment (money that has value only because of government regulation or law), and are returning to sound money. They buy silver.
It is my intention that in these changing times GuideToSilver.com will help you protect your wealth and increase your wellness. Please explore this site, pass it along and spread the word.

Ever wonder why an incalculable number of creative works are set somewhere between 59th and 110th streets, within Central Park West and the Hudson River? All New York City neighborhoods are created equal, but there's just something about the Upper West Side. Honestly, it's all in the details: Iconic architecture, city-defining structures like the Dakota, the San Remo, and the El Dorado. Cultural institutions and historical sites of immense international renown line the streets and avenues. Having two beloved greenspaces — Central Park and Riverside Park — at its horizontal edges certainly doesn't hurt the reputation either. All of it, and more, is why so many New Yorkers choose to call the UWS home. It's also why, at times, this neighborhood can feel as much an attitude or mindset as it does a physical place.

Was the Russian Hack of the DNC and Clinton Campaign a Threat to Democracy Or Did It Expose One?
The New York Times front page above tells an important story but not the one the Times hoped to tell. It tells a story of media collusion with the Clinton campaign and the DNC that was and is and has been the real threat to democracy.
When was the last time anyone saw a banner headline in the New York Times that was simply reporting what another news organization was reporting?
The answer is never.
And what were they reporting? That a number of anonymous super delegates who called the AP in the middle of the night, no doubt at the behest of Debby Wasserman-Schultz, the night before the crucial Democratic California primary, the last big piece in a primary battle where Bernie Sanders had already won 23 states and by landslide numbers, to say they would vote for Hillary Clinton at the Democratic convention to give her enough super delegate votes to win the nomination. Even though those anonymous "declarations" at the time didnt actually count as votes and there was no guarantee they ever would.
The message intended for Sanders voters by Clinton,the DNC and the media sending the message was clear: don't bother to show up tomorrow.No reason to vote. It's all over.
It was not just dishonest dirty politics,it was false and its distinct purpose was to undermine our democracy and the single most important component of it -- the vote -- for the benefit of Hillary Clinton helped by a cabal of news organizations who for their own purposes were in on the collusion. Everything Democrats have tried to accuse the Trump campaign of doing without any proof or evidence, that there was collusion with Russia to undermine the election, was true of the Democrats, Clinton and a dishonest news media.
It was the equivalent of the Democrats', the DNC, Clinton campaign and news media colluding to pull off a Putsch -- a German word for the kind of middle of the night power grab that happened in Germany in the 1930's -- collusion to rig the nomination for Hillary Clinton and supress the vote for Bernie Sanders. And they did it with the help of a dishonest news media, the DNC and the unethical use of super delegates which the media also aided and abetted. Unethical because never in the history of the Democratic party has even one super delegate ever voiced a preference before the last primary was over, yet they began announcing preferences at the behest of Debby Wasserman-Schultz, to selected media outlets anonymously back in February who then included and counted the superdelegates,whose declarations didnt count along with pledged delegate totals to try to blunt the effect of landslide victories by Sanders over Clinton. And to also give the false impression that Clinton had an insurmountable lead.
Friendly to Clinton news media outlets like CNN and MSNBC included those "declarations" without even verifying them and added them to the raw totals of pledge delegates won in primaries, the only delegates that actually counted at the time. Super delegates hadnt voted to decide a nominee in 32 years. And there was no indication they would this time when their anonymous "intentions" were added to thepledged delegates won in primaries.
It was all designed to help rig the nomination for Hillary Clinton with the help of a Soviet style Pravda-like news media. They eventually succeeded when it came to the nomination. They tried it in the general election and failed.
After Clinton lost the election, the Democrats refrain or excuse, was that somehow the Russian email hack and subsequent publishing of those emails by Wikileaks was why Clinton lost. But all those emails did was expose the real fraud, rigging,deceit,rigging and collusion between the DNC,Clinton and her campaign and many in the mass media. What the emails partially exposed was the real undermining of democracy. But Democrats tried to make the issue focus on who exposed it instead of what was exposed.
It was almost like a burglar breaking into a house and discovering a man beating his wife, reporting it to the police and the abuser trying to make the case that everyone should ignore what the burglar saw because he was a burglar doing something illegal and had no business being in his house. The Russians had no business hacking the DNC and Clinton emails but what they found was domestic political abuse being committed by Clinton, the DNC and media outlets.
While the consensus of the intelligence agencies said that it was the Russians who hacked the DNC and Clinton campaign emails, then turned them over to Wikileaks, what Adam Schiff, the Democrats' spin merchant on the Intelligence Committee keeps trying to do using the Democrats predetermined strategy of hoping to bury what the emails exposed with over-generalized and even blatantly false language like "the Russian hack of the election" (they didnt "hack" the election which insinuates hacking actual vote) is try to shift the focus away from the content of those emails and the truth that they exposed and focus on who exposed it. They get some help from anti-Russian Republican hawks.
Any damage to Democrats, the DNC and the Clinton campaign as a result of those emails being made public was damage they did to themselves because of what those emails contained, not who exposed them.
So when you hear words like "Russian interference in our election that was damaging and denigrating to Hillary Clinton" what was "damaging and denigrating" to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party was exposing the truth about what they were doing.
And what was exposed was emails showing Debby Wasserman-Schultz lying about her role and DNC collusion, doing everything she could to rig the nomination for Clinton, evidence of fraud in the results of the New York State primary, Donna Brazile feeding CNN presidential debate questions in advance to Clinton then lying about it,emails and transcripts exposing Clinton admitting in a closed door speech that she says one thing publicly about policy but privately intends on doing something else, Democratic super delegates colluding to rig the nomination for Clinton regardless of the vote, colluding to suppress the Sanders vote and his fund raising ability, and a lot more. None of which has anything to do with the Russians. The Russians, assuming they were the guilty party in the email hack,saw things that made their eyes light up and just exposed to the public through Wikileaks, what they found.
Though using the word "damaging to Hillary Clinton" is a little disengenous considering she began with the worst unfavorable ratings of any presidential candidate in history and polls showed 65% of the American people believed she was dishonest and untrustworthy.
The other false premise Democrats and the media have tried to push to both save face and continue the same deceit is that the email hack was done specifically to help Trump get elected. The argument is provably preposterous on many levels. And in the future could get some officials in legal trouble for inserting false information into an intelligence report.
First, given there were 20,000 emails from the DNC alone and another 20,000 0f Clinton campaign emails and that the Russians would have had to read them first and then give them to Wikileaks who would also have to read them and authenticate them, and given when they were released, days before the Democratic National convention ( timing the Russians had no control over) the timeline indicates the hack of the DNC first occurred sometime in February but no later than March,months before Trump won the nomination and months before he was even being taken seriously.
At the time of the first Russian hack and handing over the emails to Wikileaks most people including Republicans and almost every media outlet were mocking the idea that Trump was even running much less that he would win the nomination. So that it was done to specifically help Trump win is clearly false.
The other fact that proves it false is that the first batch of emails were released right before the Democratic convention, before Clinton was officially nominated. If anything those emails and what they exposed were to the benefit of Bernie Sanders, showing how Clinton and the DNC they were virtually cheating him and his voters and were trying to rig the system for Clinton. There was no way to know what affect those emails would have on the nominating process since neither candidate had won enough pledged delegates to secure the nomination so superdelegates were going to decide who it would be. And as every poll showed, Sanders was the candidate mostly likely to beat Trump, consistently beating Trump by 15 points, a much bigger margin than Clinton.
So idea that the Russians wanted Trump and colluded with the Trump campaign to win but released emails that would benefit the candidate most likely to beat Trump is as ludicrous and dishonest as every other argument that has been made and in some cases is still being made regarding Trump campaign collusion with Russia for which there hasnt been a shred of evidence.
Democrats and their allies have continued to deflect those facts with dishonest, distorted and overly exaggerated language like "a Russian attack on our democratic institutions".
Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign were not "one of our democratic institutions".
People like playing the "imagine if the roles were reversed" game and often its a good way to get to the truth. And if the roles were reversed and an email hack by any foreign government, or even domestically, exposed the kind of lies, deceit, fraud, collusion and the rigging of the democratic nominating and election process by the GOP to help the Trump campaign despite public statements to the contrary and in collusion with friendly but corrupt media outlets trying to help rig the general election for Trump,one can imagine Democrats while admitting the hack illegal, praising the exposure as helping to save the democratic process and that we should all be grateful. And they would be right. We all should be grateful for what the emails exposed.
Had those DNC and Clinton campaign emails revealed paragons of honesty and truth protecting our democratic ideals and processes, had they shown Clinton and Democrats to be pillars of integrity instead of the opposite, the Russians would have had nothing to show for their hack. But what they found didn't disappoint.
That the Democrats would rig a nomination for a candidate with the highest unfavorable rating in history and a candidate who 65% said was dishonest and untrustworthy is something Democrats cant blame on the Russians. That has a lot more in common with Groucho Marx than Karl Marx.
In an answer to a question by Rep (D) Denny Heck of Washington State during the House Intelligence Committee hearings in exploring unproven ties between the Trump campaign Director of the NSA, Admiral Mike Rogers said that what is most important and inherent to democracy is to preserve the choice of the voters.
To that end Rep. Heck who comes from a state whose voters in the Democratic primary voted for Bernie Sanders to be the nominee 80-20 over Hillary Clinton but as a super delegate voted for Hillary Clinton to follow the corrupt party line, as did Al Franken in Minnesota and both senators from Washington state as well as all super delegates in states Sanders won by landslide numbers, all of them did more to undermine our democratic processes and institutions by not preserving the choice of the voters and doing what the party ordered, than Vladimir Putin and the Russians could ever do.

As we mark the second anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Nepal this month, we start by updating you on the incredible achievements of our Mondo HELP Team (Helambu Education and Livelihoods Partnership), 2 years on.
In the Helambu area alone, 540 local schools were destroyed and in the immediate aftermath, after providing aid and vital supplies, our priority was building over 225 Temporary Learning Centres. With children re-engaged in schooling, the focus turned to rebuilding new permanent, earthquake-resilient schools.
With the District Education Office requesting our help and through the dedication and hard work of HELP team members, volunteers and funders, we have already completed the construction of 7 such schools and a further 3 should be completed before the monsoons this summer.
These have been major construction projects and each school is built with the active involvement of people from the communities. This enables local people to feel a real sense of ownership, gain valuable construction skills for employment and work together for a better future for their children.
Another important development has been helping support girls within our schools. Gender Equality is one of the UN Sustainable Goals and Mondo is building hostels in the schools where girls would have to travel a long distance from home. This means they can stay in school and be safer from trafficking, labouring in the fields or early marriage.
On the second anniversary of the earthquake, we saw the official opening of a new school hostel for girls in Timbu.
The other good news to share with supporters is that the Trustees have appointed Stephen Carrick-Davies as the new Chief Executive for Mondo. Stephen has worked within the voluntary sector in senior positions for the last 20 years, including for 10 years at Childnet International where as CEO he led a team in developing award-winning education and child protection initiatives around the world.
Stephen was born in India and attended the British Primary school in Kathmandu, Nepal. As such he has enormous affinity with the work Mondo is doing in building schools and supporting education initiatives in that part of the world.
As Stephen takes over as CEO, Mondo founder Anthony Lunch will become Honorary President of the organisation he established and has overseen since 2004. In this role, Anthony will act as an advisor to Stephen and the Board of Trustees and ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities.
We know supporters will be keen to acknowledge the considerable work Anthony has pioneered over many years, but don't worry, he is not disappearing as he will be working closely with Stephen and the Trustees as together we take our wonderful organisation into the next chapter.

Q: Displaying products from selected category in AngularJS Below I have some AngularJS code to parse some JSON which lists all categories. I would like to display each product associated with a category when you click the category button, so when you click a category button, it should display a list of all the products within that category below. Here's what I have so far:

(function() {
    var app = angular.module('store', []);
    app.controller('StoreController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
      var vm = this;

      $scope.products = [{
        "category": "Cat1",
        "name": "Product1"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat1",
        "name": "Product2"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat2",
        "name": "Product3"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat3",
        "name": "Product4"
      }]

      $scope.categories = Object.keys($scope.products.reduce(function(categoryMap, product) {
          categoryMap[product.category] = 1;
          return categoryMap;
      }, {}));

      vm.selectCategory = function(category) {
          vm.selectedCategory = category;
      }
   }]);
})();

  <button ng-click="vm.selectCategory(category);">{{category}}</button>

{{product.name}}

A: For this issue you can use filter. so after selected a category filter product based on.

(function() {
    var app = angular.module('store', []);
    app.controller('StoreController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
      var vm = this;

      $scope.products = [{
        "category": "Cat1",
        "name": "Product1"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat1",
        "name": "Product2"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat2",
        "name": "Product3"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat3",
        "name": "Product4"
      }]

      $scope.categories = Object.keys($scope.products.reduce(function(categoryMap, product) {
          categoryMap[product.category] = 1;
          return categoryMap;
      }, {}));

      vm.selectCategory = function(category) {
          vm.selectedCategory = category;
      }
   }]);
})();

  <button ng-click="vm.selectCategory(product.category);">{{product.category}}</button>

{{product.name}}

A: Since you are using controller as syntax, it is better to avoid all the $scope from your code. I am pushing all the products corresponding to selected category into a new array vm.selectedCategoryProjects.

(function() {
    var app = angular.module('store', []);
    app.controller('StoreController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
      var vm = this;

      vm.products = [{
        "category": "Cat1",
        "name": "Product1"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat1",
        "name": "Product2"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat2",
        "name": "Product3"
      }, {
        "category": "Cat3",
        "name": "Product4"
      }]

      vm.categories = Object.keys(vm.products.reduce(function(categoryMap, product) {
          categoryMap[product.category] = 1;
          return categoryMap;
      }, {}));

      vm.selectCategory = function(category) {
          vm.selectedCategoryProjects =[];
          angular.forEach(vm.products,function(value,key){
           if(value.category==category)
             vm.selectedCategoryProjects.push(value.name);

          });
      }
   }]);
})();

  <button ng-click="vm.selectCategory(category);">{{category}}</button>

{{product}}

A: just do this:

{{product.name}}

I run hot and cold on McSweeney's, although they are one of the more interesting indy presses out there.
This morning I read FEEDBACK FROM JAMES JOYCE'S SUBMISSION OF ULYSSES TO HIS CREATIVE-WRITING WORKSHOP on McSweeney's Internet Tendency. It's funny and so today I'm running hot.
The question is, of course, one that any writer who has sat smiling through a writing workshop has asked herself: "Is this workshop really of any value? What would happen to the great works of English literature if they had been subjected to the opinions of these simpletons in my group?"
While I think Teddy Wayne goes a little bit easy on the Workshop Fiction tendency, there's still some biting satire. Highly recommended.


You asked, we listened. Adding more styles to our popular Cool Collection, made from a cotton/cashmere blend, knit to give you maximum loft and softness. Loose and easy fitting, with contrast borders and shirt tail hem. A casual pullover with crossed contrast lacing at the sides. Wear back to white pants for early fall, switch to black bottoms and boots for later in the season. It's hard to find a more versatile and trend right top this season.


Kili Tingatinga Art was inspired by the stories and determination of the artists in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, who create these amazing artworks. Giving back is very much at the heart of the business, as they seek to not only bring Tingatinga art to the world, but also help and support the artists – and their communities. In addition, they work with and contribute to various charities, fundraise for organisations such as Rafiki Mwema Girls Home in Kenya and Ndoto Africa, and donate artwork to children's hospitals across Australia. They hope to be able to exhibit these fabulous artworks in a gallery someday, and are also working to develop a children's book that will benefit Room To Read, a non-profit that is focused on girls' education and children's literacy in third world countries.

Law and Policy Analysis
The Reality and Record of Textualism
Joseph Kimble Distinguished Professor Emeritus, WMU-Cooley Law School
In the April ABA Journal, Bryan Garner devoted his monthly "On Words" column to textualism. I read it with interest because I too have written on the subject. Here's the salient line from the column: "So the ideal textualist is content-neutral, at least in theory."
Mark that: in theory. Actual practice is far different. In high-profile cases, cases that broadly shape the law, cases with political and ideological significance, self-proclaimed textualists reach conservative results with uncanny regularity. All judges start with text and make textual arguments, of course, but the arguments almost always lead textualists in the same direction.
The empirical evidence is striking. To see for yourself, go to this Scribes Journal article at 28–37 and this entire Wayne Law Review article. In the first one, I summarized 6 empirical studies—4 involving Justice Scalia's opinions—and cited 11 other scholarly articles. They show unmistakably that the opinions of textualism's preeminent advocate had a strong ideological bent. In the second article, I reviewed and coded 96 (!) overrulings by the Michigan Supreme Court between 2000 and 2015. The justices in the majority during almost all those years were also exponents of textualism. And 96.3% of their overrulings were ideologically conservative.
Textualism, in my view, has become the brand name for politically driven judging, and the notion that it is practiced in a neutral, objective way must be punctured.
You can recognize the textualist brand in a number of ways:
by strenuous parsing in an effort to resolve ambiguity, followed by the assertion that it doesn't exist;
by overreliance on highly malleable and often-conflicting canons of construction;
by a boundless confidence that the "plain language" of a statute compels such and such a result;
by a general aversion to legislative history and a reluctance to consider values and sensible policy, even in close cases; and,
above all, by a propensity to reach for dictionaries—those great grab bags—and pluck out convenient definitions. (Never mind that scholars have heaped criticism on the dictionary habit.)
Textualists exaggerate the number of appellate cases in which "close reading" or "fair reading" of the text, by itself, yields a singular, self-evident, or "plain" meaning. And too many textualists have convinced themselves that they are merely doing what the words say, applying the canons, looking at the linguistic cues and clues, and following the law—instead of consciously or unconsciously backing into the textual analysis that supports the outcome they prefer.
In fact, textualism is just as squishy, just as pliable, as any other theory of interpretation. Textualists will deny it, of course, even as they go on their ideological way. Just watch. And count me happy if I'm proved wrong.
Author's note: This commentary is a somewhat longer version of a letter that I submitted to the ABA Journal in April. The letter was printed (with a few changes) in the July–August issue.


At the end of Mission 8: Fly Trap, You and Icarus decides to take the refuge in Rebecca's Sanctuary which is deep down in the old Omnistat tunnels(beneath Rezoning District) for the time being and thus you need to do what Rebecca says. In this mission, all you need to do is clear our all the crates with Sentry Drone before the KrugerSec launches them. They have planned to take down the Black November tunnels and we need to stop them.
We have taken Refuge in Rebecca's Sanctuary, but it seems there is some trouble in the tunnels and she wants us to help her and destroy the cause. This is a short mission but very action based as you need to destroy 3 Sentry Drones crates from different locations and the K-Sec guards along with it.
After Talking to Rebecca, she will put the locations for all the crates on your beat. So let's get started with the first location which is right beside the entrance of the Tunnel. Here there will be a single guard to defend the Crate so it's very easy to take him down with an air combo.
The second location is not far away, but the number of guards surrounding it is good enough. Every Guard is armed and you must try a combo attack in order to take them down with faster. There will be five guards protecting the Crate and everyone has their own location you can try going loop and finish them one by one and then the Crate.
Rebecca seems to be very happy with our progress so keep going and fight the last location of the crate. This Location is a bit far so you need to jump and run all the way towards it. Once you slide down the vent you see the guards are alerted and they start shooting you. So head left from the stairs and take down one by one. Finally, the Crate to be pushed off the ledge.
Once you are done dealing with the Sentry Drones it's time to hit the switch and get out of the area. Thus completing the Mission and the walkthrough, you can either proceed to the next Mission 10: Vive La Resistance or check out our Mirror's Edge Catalyst Wiki Guide to know more about the game walkthrough, collectibles and much more.

Vanguard's Unconventional Cost Cutting
Vanguard's ETFA type of security which allows investors to indirectly invest in an underlying basket of financial instruments (these may include stocks, bonds, commodities or other types of instruments). Shares in an ETF are publicly traded on an exchange, and the price of an ETF's shares will fluctuate throughout the trading day (traditional mutual funds trade only once a day). For example, one popular ETF tracks the companies in the S&P 500, so buying a share of the ETF gets an investor exposure to all 500 companies in the index. Reverse
In the realm of index funds and ETFsA type of security which allows investors to indirectly invest in an underlying basket of financial instruments (these may include stocks, bonds, commodities or other types of instruments). Shares in an ETF are publicly traded on an exchange, and the price of an ETF's shares will fluctuate throughout the trading day (traditional mutual funds trade only once a day). For example, one popular ETF tracks the companies in the S&P 500, so buying a share of the ETF gets an investor exposure to all 500 companies in the index., it's been a race to the bottom as Vanguard and its competitors have done their best to attract investors with the lowest achievable fees. This week, Vanguard announced its most recent gambit to cut costs by conducting a one-for-two reverse share split for its S&P 500 ETF (VOO) on October 24, which the firm says will lower overall transaction expenses.
The traditional stockA financial instrument giving the holder a proportion of the ownership and earnings of a company. split results in shareholders having twice as many shares of a company at half the price. So if you owned 100 shares of XYZ Corp. priced at $100, after a split you'd own 200 shares at $50 apiece. A one-for-two reverse split of the sort Vanguard is planning takes those 100 shares and turns them into 50, doubling the share price at the same time.
Is this a bit of financial legerdemain, or can doubling the price of the ETF really cut down on costs? It's all a matter of the "bid-ask spread" on the share price. With any security that trades throughout the day, the price an investor pays fluctuates between what they are willing to pay, and what the seller is willing to take. The "bid" part of bid-ask is the price proposed by the buyer, the "ask" is the price desired by the seller, and the bid-ask spread is the difference between the two. The higher the spread, the greater the premium an investor ends up paying on a desired stock, ETF or bondA financial instrument representing an IOU from the borrower to the lender. Bond issuers promise to pay bond holders a given amount of interest for a pre-determined amount of time until the loan is repaid in full (otherwise known as the maturity date). Bonds can have a fixed or floating interest rate. Fixed-rate bonds pay out a pre-determined amount of interest each year, while floating-rate bonds can pay higher or lower interest each year depending on prevailing market interest rates..
Vanguard's S&P 500 ETF already trades very efficiently, and the average bid-ask spread is a tiny 0.01% of the share price. By halving the number of shares that need to be traded to for a given dollar amount, Vanguard will effectively halve trading costs, and also put its S&P 500 ETF more in line with competitors, which have similarly low bid-ask spreads, but higher share prices and operating expenses. (As of September 12, VOO was priced at about $77 a share, while S&P 500 ETFs from iShares and State Street Global Advisors were priced around $170 and $168, respectively.)
For the individual investor making a few trades a year, the savings in transaction costs will not likely amount to much, but on the institutional side, where millions of dollars of trades can take place a day, they add up fast. With expenses of just 0.05%, Vanguard's S&P 500 ETF will regain an advantage over higher-priced competitors, and may attract more institutional investors once the reverse split takes place.
The one wrinkle for investors to look out for is the fact that a reverse split could result in some taxable gains. If you own an odd number of shares, you'll end up with a fraction of a share after the split, which Vanguard will redeem for its cash value. Depending on your cost basis, you'll either be paying taxes on it or be able deduct it as a loss. But taxes on a fractional share, which could present an accounting problem, are not going to be a large sum of money by any means.
While the reverse split may seem like an unconventional move on the surface, it follows perfectly with Vanguard's close attention to the costs it passes on to its shareholders and its never-ending quest to reduce them as much as possible. Every little bit counts.

With a few simple steps your home security can be improved, providing less chance of a break-in and you with greater peace of mind.
First, take look around the outside of the property for potential problems. Ensure you can lock garden gates and sheds; if an intruder can get into your shed they may be able to use tools they find to break into your home. Consider moving spades, pick axes and heavy tools into the garage if this is more secure.
Stepladders must not be easily accessible - chain them up if you cannot lock them in a shed or garage.
Check that the security lights are working and correctly adjusted. Consider using a dummy security camera to deter opportunists.
Check the house and make sure your alarm (if fitted) is working and correctly adjusted.
Inform the neighbours and anyone who has a key to your property when you are going away; if there is a problem they can keep an eye on the property and respond promptly to strangers or alarm activation.
A visible build-up of post in your house will show you're not in to open it, so ask a neighbour to make sure newspapers and post are not on display. For the same reason, cancel any scheduled deliveries to the house, such as milk or newspapers.
Ensure that external windows and doors are locking properly and in good order.
Mark valuables with your postcode and if possible move them so they are not visible or can be seen through windows.
Consider having one set of bedroom curtains drawn to give the appearance of someone in bed.

Visitation will be from 2 to 8 p.m. on Thursday at LOVE-HEITMEYER FUNERAL HOME, Jackson Township. Memorials may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.


Ms.Tomesek helps students prepare for the TOEFL exam.
Have you heard about TOEFL Prep before? Would you like to know more about it? If you want to profit from TOEFL Prep, you probably need to pay attention for the next 20 minutes by reading my article.
What is TOEFL Prep? TOEFL is the Test Of English as a Foreign Language. The purpose of the exam is to test nonnative speakers of English in their use and understanding of North American English as it is spoken, written and heard in college and university settings. Most people who take the TOEFL test are planning to study at colleges and universities where instruction is in English. Also, many governments and scholarship programs use TOEFL score to estimate English ability.
Do we need to pay for the TOEFL Test? Yes, we need to pay $130 to take the TOEFL test. Currently, you can receive $75 from the school by filling out an application to see if you quality for the fee waiver. Where are you going to get another $75? The ETS (Educational of Testing Serive) can help you to pay another $75. You must complete another application for the ETS fee waiver. As a result, you might be able to take the test without any payments.
What is the process of the TOEFL test? Students taking the test will take the Computer-Based test. There are four sections of the test and each section has a time limit. Normally, the first section is listening, which tests the ability to understand spoken English. The second section is structure and expression, which measures your ability and knowledge of grammar. The third section is reading, which estimates your understanding of nontechnical material like readings found in textbooks. The last section is the writing section, which tests studentsÕ writing in English on an assigned topic.
In my TOEFL class, we are reviewing English grammar, reading, listening and writing. Most of this we learned in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Level 1, 2 and 3. We are also practicing test-taking strategies to help us finish the entire test. TOEFL is a class recommended for students in ESOL Level 4 & 5, and should be taken by 11th and 12th graders. TOEFL Prep is a one semester class. Ms.Tomesek, the TOEFL Prep teacher, recommends that students take the TOEFL class one semester and the SAT Prep (Scholastic Aptitude Test) class for the other semester.
Therefore, is it neccesary to take SAT? Yes, the SAT should be taken by the students who are applying to colleges and universities. The SAT has 3 sections: verbal (English), math (algebra 1, geometry, and algebra 2) and writing (grammar and an essay). It is important to take the SAT because ESOL students need the math score from the SAT. Even though you might get a lower score on the SAT-Verbal and essay sections, your TOEFL score will tell colleges and universities that you are an English Language learner. If you are planning to go to college or university, you should take both the SAT and TOEFL.
Come on, Blazers! TOEFL is the key to help you open the door to your success.
