Approaching Infinity Bridge
This set of 5 images did rather well in a recent club projected portfolio competition. For projected portfolios the pics are shown in sequence, so you don't need to worry about how they can be laid out on a stand, but they tend to do better if there's some kind of logic to the order.

Super-committee failure may be new blow for unpopular Congress

The imminent failure of the super-committee process may have this as its legacy: Somehow, it's made Congress even more unpopular.
Americans' regard for lawmakers in Washington has never been particularly high, but this year the polling has been especially grim for those on Capitol Hill.
A recent Gallup survey put congressional job approval at 13%, equaling its all-time low.
A new CNN/Opinion Research survey found that just 21% of respondents say they approve of how Republican leaders in Congress are handling their job; Democratic leaders scored only slightly higher at 29%. Both are the lowest scores in more than three years.
Quinnipiac University released its own poll Monday, which reported that most respondents said they had little faith that the 12 members of super-committee would agree on a deficit-reduction proposal before its deadline. Only 24% thought the lawmakers would reach agreement, while 69% said they wouldn't.
"American voters are way ahead of the politicians," Quinnipiac's Peter Brown said. "Watch for those job-approval ratings to sink even lower."
Should the panel's effort fail, as is widely expected, more respondents in the Quinnipiac survey said they'll blame Republicans than blame President Obama and Democrats, by a margin of 44% to 38%. But by a 10-point margin, respondents said say they want a deal with only federal spending cuts, as most Republicans favor, as opposed to a deal that includes some tax increases.
Lawmakers acknowledged that they've given their constituents little reason to have confidence in their work.
"I'm ashamed. I have to go back and apologize for what we're doing," Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
Obama has also seemed to distance himself from the super-committee process for fear of sharing in the blame, as was the case during the summer debt-ceiling negotiations in which he played a more active role.
"This committee was established by an act of Congress. It was comprised of members of Congress. Instead of pointing fingers and playing the blame game, Congress should act, fulfill its responsibility," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday.

On The Edge
On The Edge
Travelling through Australia we found this road painting, marking the Tropic of Capricorn
(23° 26' 24.70" S 113° 57' 13.73" E) on the Minilya-Exmouth Road near Lyndon in Western Australia.
Step out off the car i felt immediately "microwaved" must be around 66,6° Celsius (subjective temperature), so i shot only a few pictures to get back in the motor vehicle artificial biosphere. ;-)
Any and all helpful comments/notes and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Tropic of Capricorn, or Southern tropic, marks the most southerly latitude on the Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This event occurs at the December solstice, when the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun to its maximum extent.
Tropic of Capricorn is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It currently (Epoch 2011) lies 23° 26 16 south of the Equator.
It is currently drifting north at the rate of almost half a second (0.47) of latitude, which is about 15 metres, per year (it was at exactly 23 27' S in year 1917).
The Tropic of Capricorn is the dividing line between the Southern Temperate Zone to the south and the tropics to the north. The northern hemisphere equivalent of the Tropic of Capricorn is the Tropic of Cancer.
The Tropic of Capricorn is so named because about 2,000 years ago the sun was entering the constellation Capricornus (capricorn is Latin for goat horn) at the December solstice. In modern times the sun appears in the constellation Sagittarius during this time. The change is due to precession of the equinoxes. The word "tropic" itself comes from the Greek tropos, meaning turn, referring to the fact that the sun appears to "turn back" at the solstices.
In India, the day of Sun entering the zodiacal belt Capricorn is celebrated as Makara Sankranti festival. Tropic of Capricorn is called Makara Vrutta in Indian languages. It should be noted here that the Indian astronomical calendar is not based on the Western sidereal system but has a differential lag. Hence, the festival is celebrated on either of 14th Jan or 15th Jan every year, when, as per the Indian astronomical calendar, the Sun enters the Capricorn sign.

Bled Castle and the Julian Alps
Bled Castle and the Julian Alps
Bled Castle, in the lower right, is dwarfed by the Julian Alps, which loom in the background.
Taken from a boat while on Lake Bled in Bled, Slovenia. Definitely worth a visit. Or several visits.
Works better viewed in large size.

Scary Halloween trick: Dow lops off 276
Stocks ended an historically chipper month in a dour mood yesterday -- perfect for the Halloween funeral of ex-New Jersey governor John Corzine’s troubled broker-dealer, MF Global.
The Dow Jones industrial average spent all but the opening seconds in negative territory, thanks to the early-morning meltdown of MF Global, and showed particular weakness in the last hour when it lost about 125 points to close down 276.10 points, or 2.3 percent, to 11,955.01.
News in the afternoon that put further doubt on the likelihood of a European bailout spooked investors.
The spook-tacular Halloween slide capped what had been an unusually upbeat month for stocks, with the S&P 500 index up a whopping 14 percent as of Friday. With those gains in hand, the index was on track to post its best month since 1974.
Yesterday’s losses dampened the mood but stopped short of ruining the party. The S&P decline of 2.5 percent trimmed the gain for October to 10.8 percent, the index’s best performance since December 1991.
The Dow closed the month up 9.5 percent, its best since Oct. 2002.
“There’s still plenty to be nervous about,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist for JP Morgan’s funds group, who attributed last month’s rally to stocks’ super-cheap levels -- not improved economic sentiment.
Mark Dow of hedge fund Pharo Management, agreed, saying, “The mindset of most guys is still relatively bearish,” and that yesterday’s sell-off is a reminder that little has changed.
Kelly and Dow discounted MF Global’s contribution to yesterday’s decline, saying that while the bankruptcy did little to improve sentiment, Corzine’s troubled firm isn’t important enough to trigger widespread panic selling.
