On Friday about 40 protesters at Iowa State University demonstrated against the school’s use of prison labor “to acquire furniture.”

John McCain was on Face the Nation today, getting his neocon on, discussing the next steps that needed to be taken in Syria -- dealing with Assad.
He approved of the President's strikes -- calling it a good 'first step.' But, he wants MOAR -- accusing both Syria and Russia of war crimes, in addition to blaming Assad for the rise of ISIS. You cannot make this stuff up.
I am not a particularly big fan of the idea that markets are efficient. In fact I think people who believe this have never spent any time working in investment management. Everyone in the industry has seen how investment fads wash over the industry from time to time, only to wash out again as returns begin to disappoint.
