I didn't recognize the meaning of the initials, so I googled, and got in order DFA records, Dimensional fund advisors, Dairy farmers of America, DFA records Wikipedia article, & Double click for advertisers. I came back and being an unsuccessful smart aleck, typed dogs for America. When a few caffeine molecules came and grabbed brain cells, I thought...Dean for America? Googled again and found Democracy for America. I opened the thread from the latest page didn't see it was in Politics 2013, which would have been a big clue I was being snarky & I apologize.
