Sorry. Running late for a meeting so I did it quickly. The link at the top of the page gets you to the home page for Government Executive and you can get to all the rest from there.

HOLIDAY CLOSING

Some financial markets will be closed on Monday, September 1st in observance of the Labor Day holiday. The Thrift Savings Plan will also be closed. Transactions that would have been processed Monday night (September 1st) will be processed Tuesday night (September 2nd), at Tuesday's closing share prices.

Went back to 100% "S" fund. Looks like I may loose some shares coming back to 100%. Looking forward to a good September and I will still have my 2 IFT's for the month.

The July meeting minutes are availible from the FRTIB website. Here is the link.

The average spider can stay perched in a web for long hours waiting for prey and can lift eight times its own body weight. The average soldier – cannot. The military is trying to change that with help from scientists at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, called on to develop a so-called “Soft Exosuit.”

Nice doomsday article. If it proves true move to plan on moving somewhere with lots of game to hunt and save up a bunch of non-perishables (and pack lots of ammo)!!!!
