With a certain amount of academic prudence, the DFA sages are careful to warn that their research is no substitute for a balanced investment plan. They don't, for example, recommend that you invest only in small-cap and value stocks; the two strategies sometimes badly underperform. For stability, they recommend holding... |
None of that diminishes their evangelical--some would say arrogant--attachment to their strategies. The zealots at DFA believe that their methods have not only the weight of evidence behind them but also the force of history. "Today the only people who don't think markets work are the North Koreans, the Cubans, and the... |
Who could argue, given all the brainpower at DFA? Still, hope springs eternal in investors' hearts. The temptation to try to pick the next Microsoft or Peter Lynch is--let's face it--pretty hard to overcome. And besides, at least one DFA giant thinks it's okay to indulge such guilty pleasures as long as you recognize t... |
Jihadists from the North Caucasus region and two former Soviet states were largely responsible for the attack at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport last week, Turkish officials said. |
Dagestan is a mainly Muslim province of Russia’s North Caucasus region. |
Turkey on July 5 arrested 17 people in connection to the terror attack, bringing the total number of people jailed pending trial to 30 over the triple suicide bombing which killed 45 people and wounded hundreds more. |
One of the suspects told authorities he was drawn to Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) via Facebook. |
The state-run Anadolu news agency said two of the bombers at the airport were Russian nationals. One government official has said the attackers were Russian, Uzbek and Kyrgyz nationals. |
Moscow has confirmed that thousands of Russian citizens and citizens of other former Soviet states have joined ISIL, traveling through Turkey to reach Syria. |
The pro-government Yeni Safak newspaper has said the organizer of the attack was suspected to be a Chechen double-amputee called Akhmed Chatayev, who is on a United Nations sanctions list as an ISIL leader responsible for training Russian-speaking militants. |
The suspects who have been detained have denied links to the airport bombers. |
One of them, identified as a Russian citizen named as Smail A., said he stayed in a crowded house where he thought he would be able to read the Koran. |
“When the police caught us they said terrorists had stayed there previously, but we didn’t know. I was in that house at the wrong time,” he was quoted as saying during questioning. |
A suspect identified as Kamil D., also a Russian citizen, denied knowing one of the bombers, who has been identified as Rahim Bulgarov. |
“The people constantly changed in the house where we stayed. Maybe he came and stayed but I don’t know him,” he said. |
A third suspect, Turkish citizen Cengizhan C., said he embraced the views of Islamic State after following related groups on Facebook. |
Summary: As innovation becomes more of a key differentiator for the world’s largest companies, these organizations increasingly see having a diverse and inclusive workforce as critical to driving the creation and execution of new products, services, and business processes. For executives in charge of diversity and incl... |
For global companies, diversity is no longer simply a matter of creating a heterogeneous workforce, but using that workforce to innovate and give it a competitive advantage in the marketplace. And as companies compete on a global scale, diversity and inclusion frequently have to shift, as different markets and differen... |
Fostering Innovation Through a Diverse Workforce is based on an exclusive survey of 321 executives at large global enterprises ($500 million-plus in annual revenues). All respondents had direct responsibility or oversight for their companies’ diversity and inclusion programs. |
This study was done in association with the following sponsors. Click on a link below to learn more about their respective diversity and inclusion programs. |
Girls who begin menstruating at a younger age may have a greater risk for developing heart disease later in life, according to new findings published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. The study included 15,807 middle-aged and senior women, whose cardiovascular health and mortality were tracked fr... |
For more than a decade now, researchers and pediatricians have been tracking a marked increase in precocious puberty among girls—or the development of breasts and pubic hair at increasingly younger ages, accompanied by the early onset of menarche, or menstruation. Yet the early onset of puberty is nothing new: in the 1... |
In this latest study, women who got their first period before age 12 faced a 23% higher risk for developing heart disease later in life, and 28% higher risk of dying from heart attack or stroke, compared with those who began menstruating later. They also had a 25% higher risk of dying from cancer, something that previo... |
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - A Friday afternoon fire caused about $100,000 in damage to a ranch-style brick house near Woodbrier Country Club north of Martinsburg, officials said. |
No one was injured in the blaze at 190 Topflite Drive, said Andrew DeHaven, chief of the Bedington (W.Va.) Volunteer Fire Department. |
Ronald Devall was listed as the owner of the home. His adult son was home when the fire started, but was not injured, DeHaven said. |
DeHaven said the fire appeared to be accidental, and determined it began in a bedroom area of the home sometime before firefighters were dispatched at 1:57 p.m. |
About one-third of the home had significant damage, and smoke spread throughout, DeHaven said, but the flames did not make it through the roof. |
Assisting Bedington volunteers at the scene were members of the Berkeley County Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Volunteer firefighters from Hedgesville, W.Va., filled in at the Bedington station until responders cleared the scene about 90 minutes after being dispatched, DeHaven said. |
Liverpool are bracing themselves for a £100million battle to keep star man Philippe Coutinho away from the clutches of Barcelona. |
The Spanish giants are expected to increase their initial £70m offer in a bid to prise him away from Anfield. |
The Reds insist Coutinho is not for sale but Barcelona believe he could be the man to replace Neymar if he is lured to Paris Saint-Germain. |
While Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has issued a stark transfer warning to the Stamford Bridge board. |
Conte believes Chelsea must keep splashing the cash this summer if they are to successfully defend their Premier League title. |
“It’s not easy in this market as you need crazy money. But we must improve the squad because it will be tough next season,” said Conte. |
£230million during this transfer window. |
Pep Guardiola has already secured deals for Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker and Ederson but the Etihad side have now agreed moves for Monaco defender Benjamin Mendy and Real Madrid’s Danilo which is expected to take their spending in excess of £230m, according to the Times. |
M.I.A., the British-born rapper-pop star of Tamil extraction, gets the full biodoc treatment in this collage-film by Steve Loveridge. |
An appropriately collage-like work that channels its subject's eclectic, mash-up style, documentary Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. offers a well-rounded portrait of rapper/artist/activist M.I.A. Born Mathangi Arulpragasam, aka Maya, she is perhaps best known for her song "Paper Planes," an infectious ditty with a killer sample fr... |
This fractured biographical tribute draws on material spanning many years, including footage shot by Arulpragasam herself. Clearly, it's assembled with deep affection by producer-director Steve Loveridge, who has known Arulpragasam since they both attended London's Central Saint Martins School of Art together in the mi... |
Given her bi-continental upbringing and exposure to war at an early age, it's no surprise Arulpragasam is such a complicated character. Her father Arul Pragasam, aka Arular, was a well-known activist and leader for the Tamil independence movement in Sri Lanka. He spent many years working among Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka... |
Growing up in a neighborhood mostly composed of immigrants from South Asia, but also home to a substantial West Indian and African community, exposed Arulpragasam to many different sounds and styles. Like many other artists from the U.K.'s inner-city areas, her work eventually came to blend these influences into a uniq... |
Almost equal time is paid to footage exploring Arulpragasam's roots in Sri Lanka, especially the time when she went to live with her grandmother and extended family there in 2001, planning to make a film. Seeing her interact in such a relaxed fashion with little kids and old women softens the tough, pop-princess person... |

The crash on Route 441 at Linden Avenue in Brighton occurred before 9 a.m. Thursday and snarled traffic in the area for several hours. |
A Penfield man remains hospitalized following a serious two-car crash on Route 441 in Brighton on Thursday. |
Brighton Police Chief Mark Henderson said Alexander R. Cohen, 27, suffered life-threatening injuries. He is in guarded condition at Strong Memorial Hospital's Intensive Care Unit on Friday, according to a hospital spokesman. |
The crash occurred before 9 a.m. Thursday and snarled traffic in the area for several hours. |
Marino was issued a ticket for failure to proceed with caution as the intersection had a flashing yellow light, Henderson said. |
If all goes as planned,property records in the state will soon be updated within three weeks of registration of a sale deed. The revenue department has asked all districts to roll out by November-end an online system it has come up with in this regard. |
According to Settlement Commissioner Chandrakant Dalvi,it often takes several months to a year to update land records at present. |
Dalvi said cases had come to light in the recent past where a plot had been sold to multiple buyers owing to the time taken to update land records. |
Under the new system,an online notice for recording the transaction on the property extract will be generated at the time of the registration itself. |
A 15-day period would then be granted for filing objections,before initiating the process of updating the land records. We expect the entire process to take three weeks time, he added. |
The government has already conducted a successful pilot project in Punes Mulshi taluka. Besides arresting fraudulence,the new system also aims to spare citizens visits to multiple offices. |
Inspector General of Registration (IGR) S Chokalingam issued a circular last month in which the department contended that complaints of impersonation and false documentation had risen manifold with rising property prices. |
After Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo celebrated New York's new state law allowing abortions up to the point of birth in many cases, many faith leaders across the country came out against the so-called progressive legislation. |
Phil King was one of them. The NxtGen Worship Pastor at Gateway Church in Dallas, Texas told Fox News he was upset by the news of the abortion bill and was led to pray and write. |
"Abortion is not a fight we can win by hating another person, we win by loving each other, by loving life," he said. |
Abortion is not a fight we can win by hating another person, we win by loving each other, by loving life. |
King penned the song, "Not Forgotten," with worship leaders Rita Springer and Cody Ray Lee. |
"Wrote this song over the recent laws passed in New York State," King wrote in a Sunday Instagram post. "This is for all of the babies lost. We love you, we remember you, and we are fighting for you." |
He said there were many tears and prayers into writing the song. |
"I cried a lot while writing this song," he said. "My only hope and wish is that when people hear this song and that they would be moved to love those around them like never before." |
But for the Dallas-area worship leader, it's more than a song. It's about a movement. |
"I especially hope that the Church would be moved when they hear this song to begin adopting babies by the thousands, to be moved to save lives and also help those who feel cornered or forced to abort a life," King said. "This is more than a song, it’s a declaration and a call to action. I believe the effect this would... |
For the first time, some nominees for the Grammy Awards were announced via video tweets instead of on television or on the Grammys website. |
The Recording Academy tasked musicians and TV personalities to tweet nominees for two dozen categories over the course of six hours on Friday, with many of the celebrities appearing in clips on Twitter's native video player, which lives exclusively in tweets. |
"Today, the Recording Academy broke new ground on Twitter," Andrew Adashek, Twitter's head of TV, told Mashable. "They took advantage of Twitter’s real-time, widely distributed nature and treated millions of music fans to an exclusive, shared experience." |
The interactive visualization, above, displays the most-popular #Grammys-related tweet as well as the total number of tweets tagged with that hashtag. |
The Twitter-infused announcement strategy was conceived to give each category a time to shine, effectively paying homage to each nominee's "coveted honor" or being nominated. |
"We considered announcing everything at once, but that wasn’t conducive to our goal of celebrating each nominee," Evan Greene, CMO at the Recording Academy, told Mashable. "So we decided to let each announcement live its own moment." |
After the two dozen tweets were sent, and many other celebrities chimed in organically, the Recording Academy posted 82 of the 83 categories' nominees on Grammy.com. The Album of the Year contenders were then revealed at 9 p.m. during CBS's A Very Grammy Christmas, featuring performances from Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, T... |
Beyoncé, Sam Smith and Pharrell Williams are tied for the most Grammy nominations this year. All three earned six nods for the 57th Grammy Awards, which will air Feb. 8 on CBS. On their tail with four nominations are Iggy Azalea, Beck, Eric Church, Tom Coyne, Drake, Gordon Goodwin, Jay Z, Miranda Lambert, Sia, Usher, a... |
"In the end, we had everyone from past Grammy-winners and actors to television hosts and radio personalities, even rising YouTube creators," Greene said. "We put a lot of care into finding an authentic match that would make the memory that much sweeter for the artists." |
Among the other public figures who tweeted specific nominations on Friday were Toni Braxton, MC Lyte, Alanis Morissette, Angie Martinez, Billy Bush, Jared Leto, Joy Williams, Michael Yo, Ryan Seacrest, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, Guilianna Rancic, Mario Lopez, Nancy O’Dell, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Zedd and Jake Owen. |
The Recording Academy and Twitter have consistently been amping up the way they get stars and fans involved every step of the way before, during and after Grammy night in the past few years. This has helped the telecast increase the number of tweets sent on Grammy night: 5 million tweets in 2012, 14 million in 2013, an... |
"The Recording Academy is in its 57th year. You don’t last that long by staying the same," Greene added. "The brand has such a strong heritage that our legacy sometimes overshadows our innovation. But don’t forget, we were the first show to incorporate Instagram on the red carpet [and] we were first to debut the Twitte... |
