StellarOne Corporation (Nasdaq: STEL) announced Friday that it anticipates joining the broad market Russell 3000 Index when Russell Investments reconstitutes its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes on June 27, 2008, according to a preliminary list of additions posted on June 13, 2008 on russell.com.
Annual reconstitution of Russell's U.S. indexes captures the 4000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in either the large-cap Russell 1000 Index or small-cap Russell 2000 Index as well as the appropriate growth and value indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market capitalization rankings and style attributes. "We are excited to return to the Russell 3000 Index," commented O.R. Barham, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. "It is an honor to be included with such an impressive list of public companies, and it is a testament to our shareholders and the communities we serve." Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry-leading $4.4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. For more information on Russell indexes, go to www.russell.com.

Riefenstahl was a German filmmaker whose most famous works are documentary propaganda films for the German Nazi Party. Her Triumph of the Will, a documentary of a huge Nazi rally glorifying Hitler, is widely regarded as one of the most effective pieces of propaganda ever produced. After the war, Riefenstahl was classified as a Nazi sympathizer and blacklisted. Later, she became interested in underwater photography and the Nuba tribe in the Sudan. What did she do on her 100th birthday?
