Well, I dont know if they are doing it on purpose or not,
but that is the conclusion I would make if I read many
of these posts.
My advice to newbies is to read the first 20-30 pages
of this thread.
Now if certain people read this My character will
be attacked and made up
Probably the most sensable theories I have read is
the ACE pigment theory:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/quer ... t=Abstract
and allergic reaction to
proteins from insect bites.
But whats the point in long meaningless discussions???
Just wait for the people who know what they are doing
to figure it out.

Hi. It has been a while. I see you post under botany alot.
The reason that people are looking into this on their own is because they have tried all that can be tried to let the powers that be figure it out!!!!
All we have gotten from the powers that be are DOP and BS. Have you read any of msc's posts? Wake up.
Well you asked for it, you got it.
Karen were have you been... ? love the prelude to a chemtrail idiology
you may have caught a case of the chemtrail blanken burn syndrom

Title: Media and methods for cultivation of microorganisms
Document Type and Number: United States Patent 7115385
Abstract: The present invention provides culture media and methods for culturing organisms, preferably microorganisms, more preferably fastidious microorganisms. Also provided are methods of isolating and detecting organisms using the inventive culture media.
Various gram-negative urinary tract or local skin flora may gain entrance into the body, e.g., due to insect bites, wounds, injuries and the like, causing infection in synovial fluids and joint inflammation. Moreover, Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. are frequently linked to disease (Costeron et al., (1995) Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 49:711). Infections by some agents are facilitated by insect transmission, for example, Bartonella spp. infections transmitted by fleas, lice or ticks are introduced into cats, dogs, humans and other mammals (see, e.g., Shaw et al., (2001) Trends Parasitol. 17:74; Munana et al. (2001) Infect. Immun. 69:564; Breitschwerdt et al., (2000) Clin. Microbiol Rev. 13:428).
Microorganisms may cause pathology in multiple organs or tissues in the host, not because of direct invasion or growth in the affected tissues, but rather as a result of molecular mimicry between self-antigens and microbial cell antigens, which induces immune-mediated tissue destruction. Molecular mimicry between bacterial or viral proteins and endogenous molecules has been implicated in various autoimmune diseases, including insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, Gillian Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis and autoimmune herpes stromal keratitis .
The present inventors have made the discovery that under particular culture conditions, fastidious microorganisms may be successfully cultured and isolated, even microorganisms for which no detectable growth may be achieved by conventional microbiological culturing techniques (e.g., blood agar, chocolate agar, bile salt agar, Eagle's medium, Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium, F12 medium, and the like). Indeed, the present inventors have cultured microorganisms from samples (e.g., cerebrospinal fluid) that would appear to be sterile by conventional techniques.
As used herein, a "culture medium" has its understood meaning in the art, and may be a cell, tissue or organ culture medium. The culture medium may be used to maintain, grow and/or isolate organisms. The culture medium can be a liquid, semi-solid, or solid culture medium. The culture media of the invention may be used to grow any suitable organism, including bacteria, yeast, protozoa, and fungi. Preferably, the medium is used to culture bacteria. The medium may also be used to alter the metabolic state of the organism, e.g., to convert a microbial cell from a spore or nonculturable state to a vegetative and culturable state.
The term "microorganism" as used herein has its conventional meaning in the art and includes bacteria, protozoa, yeasts, molds, and viruses. In preferred embodiments, the microorganism is a bacterium, more preferably, a Proteobacterium (including subgroups, alpha, beta, delta and gamma), still more preferably the bacterium is a member of the alpha-Proteobacteria (e.g., Bartonella, Brucella, Rasbo bacteria, Afipa, and the like), including nanobacteria. In particular preferred embodiments, the microorganism is a Bartonella including but not limited to B. vinsonii (e.g., subsp. berkhoffi), B. henselae, B. weissi, B. clarridgeiae, B. quintana, and B. elizabethae. Alternatively, in other preferred embodiments, the microorganism is Burkholdrea pickettii, Streptococcus thermophillis, a Corynebacterium, a bacterium belong to the group Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, Planctomycetales, Spirochete, or division Arachea bacteria.
In particular preferred embodiments, the microorganism is a nanobacterium. Nanobacteria are reported to be small, slow-growing, mineral-forming bacteria. Nanobacteria have been characterized as spherical with diameters of about 50 500 nanometers, and will pass through a 0.2 :m filter. A particular species of nanobacteria, designated Nanobacterium sanguineum, has previously been described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,135,851 It has been estimated that 99% of microorganisms from environmental sources are in a viable but nonculturable state (Costeron et al., (1999) Science 284:1318; Costeron et al., (1995) Annu. Rev. Microbiol 49:711). While not wishing to be held to any particular theory, it is possible that culture improvements or quorum signals may need to be supplied to bring these "inert" microbial cells back to a reproductive state that allows them to reproduce in culture by producing planktonic cells (i.e., a "wandering" stage microbial cell, which is culturable) or cells of the biofilm type. In addition to supplying nutrients, the inventive culture media may provide these quorum signals. For example, in particular embodiments, the culture media of the invention contain known quorum signaling chemicals, such as acyl homoserine lactone (Bollinger et al., (2001) J. Bacteriol 183:1990; Xie et al., (2000) J. Bacteriol. 182:7067). A "quorum signal" is the result of gene expression when a particular cell density is reached. For example, bacteria sense the concentration of the quorum signaling chemical, acyl-homoserine lactone, and when a threshold level is detected, gene expression is triggered which results in expression of enzymes that facilitate culturing of the bacterial cells. As known in the art, acyl homoserine lactones have varying chain lengths; C10 to C12 length acyl group lactones are preferred. If particular species use acyl homoserine lactones of different chain lengths, then these may also be included in the inventive media.
Microorganisms according to the present invention are typically mammalian and/or avian pathogens, more preferably mammalian pathogens. Alternatively, the microorganism may be a reptilian, piscine, amphibian, insect and/or plant pathogen. Preferred microorganisms are insect-borne or arachnid-borne pathogens. The term "pathogen", as used herein, refers to microorganisms that are of clinical relevance because they are believed to be associated with, correlated with, and/or indicative of a disease state or disorder. As used herein, a pathogen is "associated" with a disease state or disorder if it is believed to be a contributing or underlying factor in the development of a disease state or disorder, or it may be more prevalent in individuals with a particular disease or disorder

can anyone answer for us what synthetic ligands from retinoids purposes are? how do they work? What are the purposes of the crystals it produces? what and how are the claws produced? how do chelate agents work--do the claws dig into the patients bones and teeth and remove toxic metals and how? research states they have claws and appendages?
are they robotic, how do they function and know what to do? bacteriorhodopsin is used as a memory chip, doesn't that make it a computerized microroganis with a programmed brain? where are these ligands located on the patient? are they above their head, are they inside their body, or both as photos show? what happens if the patient is not informed of these structures and she can see them at night because through research they illuminate as does phosophur ponytail ligands
and she is frigthened by these objects that physicians never warned her about and she tries despartely to pull them away from her eyes and face,
what reactions then happens? if they used chemo therapy agents, and they are using radioactive agents and light waves that move these objects
and she's pulling at them and they are getting bigger and bigger like hugh
sheets of clear film covering her and as photos shows her walls and clothing etc., what is transpiring? if it is a computerized microorganism and it is programmed to survive more or less isn't. to survive it moves
away from her skin to avoid being attacked. her physicians would always
say keep you skin moist, never telling her why. she would put water on her face and these objects would become active and start travelng along
a pathway of dots almost like, which we now know are quotom dots.
some researchers say that nanno tech has not be perfected yet and is years away, but the patent on this product 4877805 used nanno particles
and self assembly systems of lipids, hydrophillics (which research says is fungus) and lipophillics. the head groups what exactly is a head group
and their function and the function of their tails and the micelles of rods
cones and sphreres that they produce and how do they go away and how
do ligands go away? can someone answer these questions. if bacteriodopsin binds to a persons dna and to their retinas, and they spin
wouldn't a patient feel the spinning? under accutane warnings and many
of the other chemo drugs used in this product, one is serious enough but he used numerous, state if a patients suffers blurred vision to call the physician, fullness in the ears and hearing problems, sore tongue, chapped lips, stomach pains, swelling in ankles and limbs, headaches,
memory problems, fevers, chills call your physician, all side effects felt by my friend but she was never informed of these sides effects or that these
chemicals were in this medication, how could she have been treated so wrongly and left to suffer and never be informed that she was be nuked
was the plastic polymerization and the sol-gel used to keep the chemicals and self assembly structures inside of her skin and by her not knowing what was happening to her pulling and trying to remove them caused them to migrate onto others? did kligman create a translucent organism
that carries toxic chemicals that were once nano scale and now they
are macro and larger? did he create nano crystal robots and grey goo?
is that why there is so much controversay about nano technology that
a dangerous person would do or create something so horrible. didn't dr. staninger already state that the silicone, silican high density polyethylene
and fiber optics are agents used in nano technology? isn't there someone
out there looking at this web site that has any knowledge of these chemicals and agents that could shed light on this? you can remove one
and another one pops up, is that what "stacking" is meant? knowledgeable help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
Re: RIDGEWALKER IS BACK........WITH A VENGEANCE !!!!
I really have no idea why you are angry you haver totally misunderstood my post and then you come here and attack. Honestly what is wrong with you?
Re: RIDGEWALKER IS BACK........WITH A VENGEANCE !!!!
I never bad mouthed Marc..ever..so again I have no idea what you are talking about.
Ya know..I can see clearly why we don't get any help. I guess I am lucky to have this only eat my arms..it appears to attack common sense in brains. Your entire post made no sense at all and had no reason behind it except that Marc riled you up since he did not uinderstand what I wrote and you came and read it with a pre-conceived notion and decided to go ballistic for no reason at all.
"Hey pettie..shes talking bad about ya pettie..go get her boy, go get her..don't let her talk about us this way." That is exaclty what happened..blind leading the blind.

Re: RIDGEWALKER IS BACK........WITH A VENGEANCE !!!!
9. You absolutely BUTCHERED the English language on Marc's site and I am not sure if that was intentional or a lack of command of the language, but I am righting that wrong. Oh dear me, what a martyr I am, I'm doing it at no charge! What a mess you made of the English language
Here Karen:
Here is what the raw material looked like. Let see you do it from this point on without using my translated version.
That by crossings, some forms and characteristics of the producers are further left to the next generation, is already known well with plants and other bio organisms. As well that sometimes accurate copies can be developed again of the respective basic producers. Which could explain and confirm on one hand the multiple varieties, on the other hand in addition, a high morphologic and biological environment adaptation, by activation of different gene ranges.
The fact that they can have also a certain intelligence and thus can react also independently and tactically to new problems. Which each infected one can surely confirmed. Which could refer to a kind of worm, because there are also worms with a primitive brain.
In addition it comes that they can complete their reproduction and live cycle faster and survive also longer and more effectively, as e.g. a conventional scabies mite or else. In the host body probably several years. A only adulter worm can produce e.g., several 100,000 eggs and several worms?? The life expectancy of the host, is in any case decreased. Without host organism, this parasite survives probably 3-6 months (or longer), as a function of ambient temperature and humidity.
In the comparison to it, there are also worms, which are able to live several years (mostly also in the host body). In the summer the risk of infection is more highly, but however, the life span of the parasite is shortened, due of drainage on air. Protection from cold weather and warmth and draining to them, offers their sometimes absurdly blown up outside covering and humidity from the respective climatic environment always collects itself in each clothes or leather couch.
The actual ideal temperature to the life would be the host temperature, i.e. approx. 36 degrees Celsius. The more deeply the temperature, the more slowly carries out itself the actual life rhythm. Taken parasite moves in an ambient temperature of approx. 18 degrees Celsius not much at all, which can be also very misleading with the actual recognition, particularly with rather amorphous withdrawal samples.
It seems, if they purge far away from the usual warm live ambient, that they fall into a shock-similar condition and then into a kind of winter sleep. To be however at any time again activated, by a certain ambient heat and various attraction materials, which can be supposed the host body sweat and other smells. Outside of the host body normally the life cycle can not be completed. Whereby also here, exist entitled doubts.
Only if a live ambient is present in the form of food and humidity and the correct ambient temperature, whole parasite colonies can survive a certain time and put also further eggs, even in a tobacco bag, telephone receiver or within a computer mouse, which contain plentiful fat and perspirations between the palpation grooves.
Which concerns the nutrition, then they are practical all eater and can nourish itself of fat, paper (cellulose) and other plant parts. Probably if they need, also stapels of cotton of our clothes. Usually they particularly prefers hairs (Keratin protein), tear liquid, shed, lymph fluids, as well the salt in the sweat, whatever confirms the settlement behavior in close proximity to welding zones.
Extreme brief temperature influences, like hot sauna visits and freezing cold ambient in the refrigerator, can not kill them. A correctly not cleaned laundry always leads to a reinfection, because most parasites and eggs can survive a usual cook wash course. Brief handle treatments in baking-oven or microwave are useless. Concerning the infestations area, there is no place where they are not living.
Even in the eyes and mouth range, but however very rarely in the direct genital range. Particularly the ranges, which are afflicted much with urine, are actually not infestated. But however in the adjacent areas around. Probably they do not like the ammonia smell, which results from decomposed urine. Or they have fear to be rinsed away. With the variety with the longer hair and fibers, a kind of environmental buffer was probably produced, by means of these flexible fibers and own slime, which surround the actual corpus.
In the rolled together condition these fibers behave such as springs, which is particularly noticeable during a skin scrape, because these already jump out and mostly land about a centimeter nearly beside the scraped wound. If one takes then these fibers more exactly under the magnifying glass, a shining coat is noticeable, some with already completely and others yet not completely with perfection. All aspects referred rather to mite, as on a worm.
However with several worms together and at the same time with this glassy slime surrounded, this causes hallucination sometimes. Which leads again and again to speculations and wrong opinions, those actually existence of these micro fibers and for which purpose they serve. Nowadays is nothing well known and comparable in the parasitology with parasites and other micro animals and therefore also not accepted.
On one hand this fuzzels is defined as pure cloth fuzzels by physicians and parasitologics, on the other hand is it correct so far, but when exact investigation is made, are there are existing some deviating facts. Normal cloth fuzzels looks differently and it looks rather just smoothly. (see lower pictures, nylon + cotton fibers)
Infestated fuzzels looks like into one another woven and stricken out, also with knots as well covered out with a shapeless amorphous slime. This fuzzels could also have various colors, which not always descend from current color of the host underwear. (see lower pictures)

Edgerton man charged with crashing truck into house
TOWN OF FULTON—A 39-year-old� Edgerton man who got a ride home from a local tavern after the bar's owner decided he was too drunk to drive got into his truck and began doing burnouts on North Dallman Road, the Rock County Sheriff's Office reported.
The man lost control of his 2004 Chevy Silverado, and the truck plowed through two lawns before hitting a driveway and a tree and and crashing into a neighbor's house, according to a sheriff's office news release.
The crash was reported at 4:48 p.m. Sunday, and deputies and Edgerton emergency responders were dispatched to the 11000 block of North Dallman Road in the town of Fulton.
They found that Johnson's truck had hit the exterior of the house and that he and his passenger, Dylan R. Lambert, 21, Janesville, had fled. Johnson was found in a nearby wooded area, and Lambert was located inside Johnson's house down the road, the sheriff's office reported.
Johnson was taken to the sheriff's office, where he failed a field sobriety test but refused to submit to a legal blood draw. Deputies obtained a search warrant for his blood.
He was arrested on charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, his fourth offense; operating while intoxicated causing injury; reckless driving causing injury; hit and run causing injury; hit and run property damage; and failure to notify police of a crash, according to the news release.
Johnson was booked into the Rock County Jail and issued a mandatory notice to appear in court Dec. 19 before being released to a responsible party.
Lambert was treated and released from Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville for minor leg injuries. He had not been drinking and was not cited, according to the news release.

Local unemployment edges up
MADISON—The unemployment rate in the Janesville metro area edged up in November by one-tenth of a percentage point.
Unemployment rates showed similar October-to-November increases in eight of the state's 12 metro areas, the Department of Workforce Development reported.
The department said the November rate for Rock County—also known as the Janesville Metropolitan Statistical Area—was 7 percent, up from the 6.9 percent reported for October but below the 7.7 percent tallied in November 2012.
The department's preliminary November report showed 64,600 people employed in the Janesville Statistical Area in November, an increase of 800 from October and 1,400 more than in November 2012.
The state unemployment rate in November was 5.8 percent, an increase from the 5.7 percent in October but a decrease from 6.2 percent in November 2012.
Racine remained the leader in unemployment among the state's 12 municipal statistical areas.
Of the 32 Wisconsin cities with at least 25,000 people, unemployment rates decreased or stayed the same in 18 of them.
Among the state's 72 counties, Rock County had the 23rd-highest rate. St. Croix County had the lowest rate at 3.7 percent.
Walworth County had a November unemployment rate of 5.9 percent, up from 5.7 percent in October.
Green County's rate was unchanged at 4.7 percent. Jefferson County's increased in November to 5.9 percent, compared with 5.7 percent in October.
Dane County remained unchanged at 4 percent.
Rates either declined or stayed the same in 19 of the state's 72 counties.
Among individual cities, Janesville's rate of 7.7 percent in November was the seventh highest in the state. Beloit had the second-highest rate among Wisconsin cities in November, at 9.4 percent. Racine had the highest rate, 11.2 percent.
Local unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted.

River underused in downtown, residents say
JANESVILLE--Put a group of Janesville residents and business owners in a room to talk about redeveloping the downtown, and you'll hear several unsurprising themes.
The Rock River running through downtown is underused, the one-way streets create unnecessarily fast traffic and a desire for a grocery store all stood out as common threads during a public meeting Thursday night at Hedberg Public Library.
About 75 people gathered to kick off the efforts of the Downtown Revitalization Committee and city staff to develop a plan for six areas of downtown. The city is working with SAA Design Group of Madison, a landscape architecture planning and civic engineering firm.
"This is an action-oriented plan … We're not just going to say, 'Wouldn't it be nice if…' We're going to say, 'This is what you have to do to make it happen,'" said Ryan Garcia, economic development coordinator for the city.
The focus is on 240 acres stretching from Traxler Park south to the Jackson Street bridge—an area that has more than 4 miles of riverfront and one dam, said David Schreiber of SAA.
Attendees divided into four groups and spent 20 minutes at tables where they offered their opinions on these aspects of downtown: impressions, positive aspects, issues and ideas. Here's what they said:
—Impressions: Jobs were a big reason people ended up in Janesville, as well as family and the parks, safety and size of the community. Residents take visitors downtown for its restaurants, shopping and entertainment as well as the farmers market and bike trail.
Beautiful historic buildings, great selection of businesses, an underutilized river, traffic flow issues and untapped potential were all impressions suggested by residents.
—Positives: Aside from the river being the biggest asset, residents said activities and events were some of the most positive things in downtown. Parades, festivals and the farmers market all were mentioned repeatedly as well as the historic character of the buildings.
—Issues: Many wondered if there was a "real need" for Milwaukee and Court streets to be one-way, Schreiber said.
"A lot of people recognized that having that pair perhaps sends traffic through the middle of downtown unnecessarily and faster than it would need to. We heard a lot of creative ideas … on what to do with the streets," he said, to make traffic flow in two directions.
Pedestrian safety and crosswalks also coincided, he said, along with safety issues related to the river. If you got in the river, "how would you get out?" he said.
Connectivity was stated repeatedly—the bike trails need to run seamlessly and pedestrian access across the river is an issue.
Many of the buildings along the river don't take advantage of the river frontage, many said. Industrial buildings also were identified as aesthetic issues.
—Action: The downtown needs activities for kids and younger generations. Many residents had concerns about getting young professionals to live downtown. Ideas included retail shops with residential units above and/or parking, a grocery store and more market-rate housing.
Park and river access was important, along with river recreation such as having a water-sports rental site.
Consultants are interviewing stakeholders, property owners and environmental experts and looking at the underlying environmental issues in the six areas, Schreiber said.
The city and SAA will work on the feasibility of the ideas gathered Thursday night and return with a public meeting in late April to debate the pros and cons of two to three options for each of the six sites, he said.
Those options will be narrowed down, and the goal is present a plan by October. Three other public meetings will be held.

Your Views: Liberals have long distorted the truth
The liberals are coming! The liberals are coming! Keep your children off the streets and remove them from the public schools, where they're brainwashed by pinko union-loving teachers.
But most important, arm yourselves and check under your beds� every day. You never know where a sneaky liberal might be hiding!
Kudos to The Gazette for publishing the letter (D.R. Schaller, Sept. 13), reminding us how liberals distorted the truth even as far back as the 1950s, when they dismissed Sen. McCarthy's crusade to rid our government of communists as "witch hunts." As the writer of the letter states, "…in the 1950s the government did have many communist infiltrators and spies." For sure some liberal is going to write to The Gazette—pulling one of those left-wing tactics, just as they did with McCarthy in the '50s when he waved a piece of paper in the air on which he listed the names of communists working in the State Department—demanding proof.
But the way to put such liberals in their place is to dismiss such demands as attempts to destroy the capitalistic system. That's what Sen. Joe did, and it worked (for a while). Fortunately, there are heroic truth-tellers out there like the people at Fox News—Rush (one of the best) O'Reilly, Palin, Bachmann and Coulter, who are always vigilant. Their objective, unbiased perspectives are more than a match for the liberals who revel in the distortions they proclaim. God bless America!

JSX serializes Java objects to XML. You can persist objects, evolve them, and send them over the network and between applications. Your object data becomes human-readable and human-writable. You can test it, search it, profile it, audit it, and edit it with ordinary text and XML tools. JSX handles all POJOs and also all classes that require Java's own object serialization. JSX also correctly and completely handles the content of Serializable classes - including when they evolve and add additional content, for both upgrading to a new version (e.g. of Java or third-party libraries) and downgrading to an older one. It does this by reusing a class's Serialization methods, which are maintained by the class's developer to handle its evolution.
The Application Switch sits between applications and service providers, allowing a central location for configuration instead of requiring the user to configure each application separately. The switch also allows mutliple services to be combined and appear as a single service to applications.

Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a framework and set of services for supporting system-level performance monitoring and performance management. It provides a unifying abstraction for all of the interesting performance data in a system, and allows client applications to easily retrieve and process any subset of that data using a single API. A client-server architecture allows multiple clients to monitor the same host, and a single client to monitor multiple hosts. Archive logging and replay are integrated so that a client application can use the same API to process real-time data from a host or historical data from an archive.
Bandwidth is primarily a memory bandwidth benchmark, but it can also measure network bandwidth. It measures the maximum memory bandwidth of each part of the memory system, including main memory, L1, L2, and L3 caches, framebuffer memory, and register-to-register. For many tests, it performs both sequential memory accesses as well as random memory accesses to provide a more real-world performance estimate. The tests support Linux (Intel), Windows/Cygwin, and Mac OS X. Its core routines are in assembly for x86 and x86-64 architectures with both SSE4 and AVX support. Bandwidth also includes automatic graphing of the results, stored to a BMP image file. The network bandwidth tests support Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows/Cygwin.

Cause of Sunday fire in town of Geneva being investigated
TOWN OF GENEVA—Lightning is suspected as a cause of a Sunday night fire that damaged a home on County NN.
The Elkhorn and Lake Geneva fire departments were dispatched to W3670 County NN at 5:38 p.m. Sunday after a fire was reported to a 150-year-old house, said Rod Smith, Elkhorn fire chief.
The cause is tied to either the house's electric system, gas meter or electric issues down the road that might have been caused by lightning, Smith said.
Lightning might have struck the the house's gas meter or electric system and caused the fire at the back of the home, he said.
Loud "thunder bangs" were reported around the time of the fire, Smith said.
When firefighters arrived, flames on the outside of the building were visible and the gas meter was on fire, Smith said.�
The house is owned by John Samuelson and rented to Todd Roe.
Roe was home and evacuated immediately. Roe is staying with friends until the electric and gas are fixed.
No injuries were reported.
Smith did not have a damage estimate but said it was minor.
The fire was put out in 15-20 minutes. Authorities remained on scene for about 90 minutes, Smith said.

Dykema Gossett member Bonnie Mayfield
Working pro bono, Dykema Gossett member Bonnie Mayfield and pro bono and diversity counsel Heidi Naasko led the team that secured a nearly $225,000 restitution award for a victim of human trafficking. The award compensates the victim, who was a minor at the time of the crime, for several years of physical and mental abuse, according to the firm. The trafficker, who is currently imprisoned for these and other crimes, initially began communicating with the victim as part of an immigration scam. The defendant plans to appeal.
"This case was really rewarding because I was able to help someone subjected to inhumane treatment as a child," Mayfield, a member of the Litigation and Labor & Employment Law practice groups, told WIPL. "This case reminded me of my first interview for a legal job wherein I was asked: 'What makes you angry and gets your blood boiling?' My response was: 'Man's inhumanity to man.'"
The Dykema team called on its knowledge of the federal crime victim laws, specifically the Crime Victims' Rights Act and the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act, which was accompanied by expert testimony and extensive briefing.
According to Mayfield, Dykema brought extensive resources to bear on the case. For example, about 28 hours before the evidentiary hearing, Dykema received the opponent's expert witness report that had existed for more than a month. Mayfield, who has significant trial experience, and Naasko immediately got to work and called in others to help. "At our firm, we have a lot of different resources, and we deployed those so I could to prepare to cross-examine the witness, should he appear at the hearing," she said. "Everyone pitched in like troopers, so we were more than prepared to take on cross-examination." The expert didn't appear at the hearing, and the report was excluded.
Mayfield has successfully litigated employment discrimination, labor, hybrid §301, retaliation, wage and hour, whistleblower, tort, product liability and commercial matters. She regularly advises and counsels clients about administrative, internal and labor matters. A long-time member of the International Association of Defense Counsel, Mayfield was recently named vice chair of the Diversity Committee. Mayfield is committed to diversity both personally and professionally. She pointed to research in an article by Sheryl Axelrod that demonstrates that among the AmLaw 200, more diverse firms notch $100,000 more in profits per partner. "It's not just the right thing to do, it's the profitable thing to do, as well," she said.
In addition to administering the program and mentoring lawyers in various areas of public interest law, Naasko maintains a substantive poverty law practice. Her case load includes representation of unaccompanied immigrant children who are child victims of human trafficking and have either been victims of crime in their country of origin or in the United States. She also represents domestic violence survivors in divorce, child custody, immigration matters and personal protection orders.

As skippers go, Davey among the most special
By Marty Noble / MLB.com
VIERA, Fla. -- The man dressing in the manager's office appears quite tanned and rested. Thirty years ago, that would have qualified him to manage the Yankees, as George Steinbrenner judged Billy Martin fit to return to the job if he passed the owner's "tanned and rested" test. Instead the man looking healthy and ready to begin a baseball season of promise is Davey Johnson, the manager of the Washington Nationals, the most talent-laden entry in the National League.
Johnson is in position for a second Spring Training with the Nationals. The first preceded a season of 98 victories, the most in the game. The second comes with expectations for another occupied October and for more reasons to consider Johnson one of the special managers in the long history of the game.
He comes with baggage -- at least two suitcases, a duffel bag and a carry-on filled with success. Johnson has managed the Mets, Reds, Orioles, Dodgers and, since June 27, 2011, the transplanted franchise in the nation's capital. And everywhere Davey has gone, success was sure to follow.
He has run a team from the first day of Spring Training through the last game of the regular season 13 times. Those seasons produced six first-place finishes, six runnerup finishes, five records with at least 98 victories and six others with at least 85.
This man knows what he's doing -- to such a degree that he already has been assessed by the Veterans Committee for Hall of Fame induction, and since then he has padded his resumé. Moreover, for seven summers he was an integral component, the second baseman, of one of the premier teams of the last 50 years, the Orioles of the late '60s and early '70s. And 40 years ago he put together an extraordinary offensive season for a second baseman -- 43 home runs and 99 RBIs for the Braves.
None of that is new information, though presented in a small lump of words, it may create a different perspective of Johnson's long career in the game. He is quite accomplished. Indeed, few men have achieved so much as a manager and also had so much success as a player.
A learned former colleague at Newsday, Steve Jacobson, reached this conclusion after several decades of observation, listening and measuring: No one has succeeded as both a player and as a manager to the degree Joe Torre did, which is to say that Torre is the most accomplished manager in history who also was an accomplished player, and he achieved more as a player than any manager of comparable or even greater success.
Scant grounds for legitimate rebuttal exist here. Torre won the NL Most Valuable Player Award in 1971 and received MVP votes in six other years. Without the benefit of a leg hit, he batted .297 in his career, driving in 1,185 runs and hitting 252 home runs. He drove in 100 or more runs five times and batted .315 or higher four times.
Connie Mack, Sparky Anderson, Gene Mauch, Bobby Cox, Bucky Harris, Tony La Russa and Walter Alston produced marginal playing careers. Neither Earl Weaver nor Joe McCarthy played a big league inning. Casey Stengel, John McGraw and Leo Durocher had more compelling playing careers than the others, but none produced as Torre did in his 18 seasons.
Cap Anson produced a Hall of Fame career with the Chicago franchise in the NL in the 1800s, when he served as player-manager. His teams won five pennants. The six pennants and four World Series championships Torre's Yankees teams won clearly trump Anson's resumé. So there ought to be little argument with Jacobson's premise.
The question is, who follows Torre? Stengel had more success as a manager and did some memorable things as a player, but Torre's playing career had more. McGraw was a pioneer in the dugout, but his achievements as a player were modest compared with Torre's.
Johnson may be the runnerup to Torre in this hybrid evaluation. He was a successful player who has been a greater success as a manager.
"That's not up to me," Johnson said on Sunday morning as he prepared for meetings and a late-morning workout in the chill -- 40 degrees at 8 a.m. ET -- of Central Florida. No surprise. Though he is proud of the two Manager of the Year Awards he has won -- and how he didn't win one with the Mets in the '80s remains a mystery -- Johnson isn't one for "attaboys."
He is a motivated and ultra-bright man who gets his kicks from doing his job well and seeing those he tutors and directs succeed.
But he turned 70 last month, and he has identified 2013 as his final year in the dugout. At some point in the not-too-distant future, Johnson might unplug, sit back and try to determine his place in the game. "Not now," he said on Sunday. And he insists that he doesn't give a rodent's rear about how he is perceived.
"The joy isn't in the record," he said, "It comes in evaluating talent, working with the talent and seeing young players live up to their talent."
Johnson embraces challenge. He revels in it, actually.
"I guess it's my mathematical background," he says. "I love solving problems. I tell my players, 'If the guy next to you can't help, bring your problem to me.' ... I want to remove the obstacles from their paths and let them perform as well as they can. ... I feel I've been successful if I leave things better than they were when I started.
"If I do my job and if we have good talent, then we win. ... It's my failure if a guy doesn't do all he can do. I haven't made the ground fertile enough for him to grow."
* * * *
It is the first week of Spring Training. Neither fun nor games are evident in the Nationals' camp. This is a serious time. No matter how comfortable players are because of Johnson's handling, pennants can't be won without preparation. The games begin soon enough. The real fun comes in October.
These days, Johnson directs as much young talent as any manager. The public focuses on Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, as folks focused on Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry with the Mets in the '80s. But the secondary talent is special, too.
Johnson has been blessed in that area, but he also has been chosen because of his ability to remove obstacles, teach and nurture. He says it takes 25 players to win, and that has the sound of cliché, but he explains that when each of 25 men has had his role identified and he accepts and understands it, the chance for success dramatically increases.
His faces stiffens as he discusses his theories. So serious. He articulates his responsibilities better than most of his peers. His baseball and personal intellect are so evident. That he has devoted thousands of hours to thinking his craft is apparent, too.
"He's so good at what he does," Mike Rizzo says. The Nationals' general manager acknowledges he had wanted -- read: planned for -- Johnson to manage at some point. "I knew about him, but I never saw him play. But if he was as a good a player as he is a manager, he must have been one special player."

Polypeptide chainwith 21 basic and 15 acidic residues...

Polypeptide chainwith 21 basic and 15 acidic residues...
So if a polypeptide chain of 214 amino acid residues has 21 basic and 15 acidic residues, the protein :
a) is amphipathic
b) will be positively charged at neutral pH
c) unlikely to be found inside cells because it is too highly charged
d) will have no net charge at pH 7
e) would be expected to form 15 ion fairs
I think its between b and c but I'm not sure which one. And does amphipathic only apply to polar/non polar, and not acidic/basic, right?

The world's biggest investors are moving away from allocating money to government bond markets based on their amount of debt, a strategy that has favored the largest borrowers for three decades.
Norway's $702 billion sovereign-wealth fund and Pacific Investment Management Co. are starting to shift to indexes that favor less-indebted nations with growing gross domestic product, such as Brazil and South Korea. Pimco boosted the proportion of Mexican holdings while trimming the percentage allocated to U.S. issues in its biggest exchange-traded fund. BlackRock Inc., the world's largest money manager, with $3.8 trillion in assets, has $3 billion tied to a gauge based on credit-worthiness rather than capitalization.
The move away from market-size benchmarks that guide at least $9 trillion in fixed-income investments may raise borrowing costs for industrialized nations and curb those for developing economies. Bonds from the Group of Seven countries underperformed the global government debt market last year by the most on record.
"We're beginning to see enough evidence on the side of GDP indexes and seeing investors finally pulling the trigger toward making the reallocation," Saumil Parikh, a money manager and member of the investment committee at Newport Beach, California-based Pimco, which runs the world's biggest bond fund, said in a telephone interview Dec. 10. "The tyranny of market-cap indexing is finally now going to go into reverse."
The three-decade rally in sovereign securities has depended on steady inflows into the most-indebted nations. Money managers traditionally benchmarked performance against indexes weighted to markets with the most debt, giving greater emphasis to the U.S., Japan and Italy at the expense of nations that borrowed less even if they were growing faster.
Global borrowings outstanding totaled $25.7 trillion as of Jan. 15, with 83 percent in G-7 countries and 13 percent in emerging-market nations, Bank of America Corp. data show.
The ratios of debt to GDP climbed to records of 93.6 percent for the U.S. and 205.5 percent for Japan, from 62 percent and 170 percent in 2007. The U.S. is poised to overtake Japan this year as the nation with the most amount of debt due, with maturities rising to $2.9 trillion from $2.6 trillion.
Indexes based on the size of economies are doing better than those using the amount of debt outstanding.
A Barclays Plc measure focusing on GDP returned 6.9 percent last year, versus 4.3 percent for the bank's benchmark for global bonds using market capitalization, the biggest difference in data going back to 2001. Pimco's Global Advantage Bond Index, which is based on GDP instead of debt outstanding, gained more than twice the Barclays standard gauge in 2012.
Debt of G-7 countries returned 3.8 percent last year, 0.8 percentage point less than for all sovereigns, the widest gap on record, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.
The Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, the most-used market-capitalization benchmark for government and non- government global bonds, is weighted 36 percent to the U.S., followed by Japan at 18 percent. Japan has the highest allocation in the Barclays Global Treasury Bond Index, which measures sovereign debt, at 29 percent, followed by the U.S. at 27 percent. Mexico makes up about 0.6 percent of the gauges.
In 2009 the London-based bank introduced the Barclays Global Aggregate GDP Weighted Index, which is weighted 31 percent to the U.S., 12 percent to Japan and 3.7 percent to Mexico.
While the U.S. and Japan lead allocations in both, countries such as Mexico, South Korea and Australia have bigger shares in the economy-based measures than they do in the standard gauges. Australia's debt totals 26.7 percent of its GDP, while it's 33.6 percent for South Korea, and 35.4 percent for Mexico.
Allocations of bond funds based on GDP are still a small part of the total. Pimco has about $18 billion of its $1.9 trillion in assets tied to its GDP measures. Fidelity Investments attracted $193 million since May to track an economy-weighted benchmark. The Boston-based firm has $1.6 trillion under management.
Investors can't always get bonds of countries with the highest growth rates, such as China and India, amid restrictions on foreign ownership, according to Chris Redmond, head of global bond-manager research at consulting firm Towers Watson.
About 25 percent of Towers Watson's institutional clients are moving away from market-based weightings in some part of their holdings, London-based Redmond said in a telephone interview Dec. 12.
Over time, investors will realize the benefits of the new approach, according to Chris Orndorff, a senior money manager for Pasadena, California-based Western Asset Management Co.
"The industry is in a transition phase currently, but clearly moving away from market-cap weighted benchmarks," Orndorff, whose firm oversees about $460 billion in assets, said in an e-mail Dec. 20. "The full evolution may take a decade to be realized."
So far, the U.S., Europe, Japan or the U.K. haven't been hurt by the changing allocations. They all have reserve currencies and central banks that have bought more than $5.3 trillion in bonds since 2008 to drive down interest rates and support their economies, according to Bianco Research LLC.
Yields on 10-year Treasury notes reached a record low in July of 1.379 percent, those on Japan's benchmark bonds were a nine-year low of 0.685 percent in December and U.K. gilts dropped to a record low of 1.41 percent in July, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
U.S. 10-year yields were at 1.87 percent as of 6:49 a.m. in New York, from 1.84 percent at the end of last week. They reached 1.97 percent on Jan. 4, the highest level since April. Japan's five-year rate touched 0.14 percent today, the least since the government started selling the debt in 2000. Ten-year gilt yields were little changed at 2.05 percent.
Returns have started to decline with yields so low. Treasuries are down 0.37 percent this month after gaining 2.2 percent last year, below an average of 3.8 percent in the prior three years. Bunds lost 1.4 percent in January. Bonds measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Broad Market Index dropped 0.17 percent this month after returning an average of 5.3 percent over the past four years.
Sales of U.S. corporate and sovereign issues reached $1.1 trillion in 2012, up from $962.8 billion the year before. GDP growth is expected to slow to 2 percent in 2013 from 2.3 percent last year, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Japan's economic growth is expected to slow to 0.7 percent in 2013 from 2 percent in 2012, a separate survey shows.
By contrast, Mexico sold 209.4 billion Mexican pesos ($16.5 billion) of government and non-government bonds last year, almost 3 percent less than in 2011. The country's economy probably grew 3.8 percent in 2012, Bloomberg data show.
Movement away from capitalization-based bond benchmarks may cause higher borrowing costs for countries with elevated debt to GDP over the next few years, Jeffrey Frankel, a professor at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, said in a telephone interview Jan. 2.
"If a lot of investors move in that direction, it will increase the premium that high-debt countries are forced to pay," said Frankel, who sits on advisory panels for the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and New York.
Norway's Government Pension Fund Global, the world's largest sovereign-wealth fund, started weighting its euro government bond holdings in 2011 using GDP, and in July implemented a new benchmark for all of its sovereign-debt holdings.
Bill Gross, Pimco's founder and co-chief investment officer, received a patent last year for the methodology behind a global index developed in 2009 that weights countries by the size of their economy rather than indebtedness. The company developed the gauge to reflect its outlook for a prolonged period of subdued returns in developed nations.
Pimco's Total Return ETF has gained 12.3 percent since it started trading March 1, 9 percentage points more than the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Even as it increased Mexican holdings and reduced the share of Treasuries, the fund's dollar amount of U.S. debt increased. The ETF follows a similar strategy to the $285 billion Pimco Total Return Fund, the world's biggest bond fund.
BlackRock's Sovereign Risk Index, which was created in June 2011, evaluates countries based on their likelihood of default, devaluation or above-trend inflation, Thomas Christiansen, a strategist at the BlackRock Investment Institute in London, said in a telephone interview Dec. 13. The measure takes into account willingness to repay loans and the term structure of the debt, he said.
The New York-based firm uses the index to reduce exposure to countries most in danger of default, such as Greece, Portugal and Egypt, rather than as a proxy for how to build and weight a fund, according to Christiansen.
"It's gaining a lot of traction," Christiansen said. "We realized market-cap weightings essentially reward failures. Hopefully the longer-term implications are that some of these countries become more fiscally responsible."

Janesville School Board OKs employee bonuses
JANESVILLE—Janesville School District employees knew they had a bonus coming. Now they know how much and when.
The school board on Tuesday approved Superintendent Karen Schulte's plan for a "performance reward" with little discussion. The plan:
-- 844 full-time employees will receive $450 each, at a cost of $379,800.
-- 307 employees who work 24.25 to 34.75 hours a week will receive $300 each, at a cost of $92,100.
-- 51 employees who work between one and 24 hours a week will receive $150 each, at a cost of $7,650.
Payroll deductions for Social Security and pensions will reduce the payments.
The district's share of Social Security and pensions comes to $68,575. The total cost of the bonuses is $548,125.
The board had approved $600,000 for the bonuses but asked Schulte to present a plan for how the money would be distributed.
Steve Sperry, director of human resources, said he hoped to get the money into the second round of December paychecks.
The board's vote was nearly unanimous. Greg Ardrey abstained because his wife works for the district.
Schulte had originally wanted to reward all employees for the district's performance on state report cards, but some board members objected to administrators receiving the bonuses, because administrators already have the opportunity to qualify for incentive pay at the end of this school year.
Schulte has said the administrators' bonuses will come out of the money the board had already approved for incentive pay.
Some employees will not receive the bonuses: those who are new this year, those who left in 2012-13, retirees and those on "intensive supervision" or a remedial plan.
The rewards are in gratitude for the district's state report card score, which surpassed all other Rock County districts and also was the highest among the top 15 largest districts in the state, Schulte has said.
The report cards are based largely on test scores but also take into account achievement in the face of socio-economic hindrances.
Schulte has said she was surprised and pleased by the report card results. She also has said that the district has a long way to go in improving test scores for all students and in narrowing the achievement gap for minority and poor students.
"I believe it takes every employee working together to achieve these kinds of results," Schulte said in a memo to the board. She underlined and boldfaced the words "every employee."
The district's "evidence-based leadership" plan—formerly referred to as the Journey to Excellence and the Studer process—says that employees should be rewarded for producing results, Schulte wrote.

Authorities still not sure if remains are those of Aprina Paul
TOWN OF PORTER—Stacy Wagner first noticed the fire burning in her neighbor's yard near Evansville on Monday afternoon.
From her front porch, which has a clear view of the yard and fire pit, Wagner watched it burn all week. Day and night, the flames stayed about the size you would expect from a campfire—never going out, or even smoldering, she said.
"It was going when we went to bed, it was going when we got up," Wagner said.
The first sign something wasn't right came when sheriff's deputies showed up at the property Friday night. By Sunday it was clear that what Wagner watched wasn't an ordinary fire.
While investigating a tip that a missing Dane County teen might have died at the home at 12016 W. Highway 14 in the town of Porter, Rock County authorities recovered human bone fragments from the backyard fire pit, Sheriff Robert Spoden said.
As the third day of the investigation drew to a close, however, Spoden said investigators still knew little about the remains they found, other than that they came from a woman.
Spoden said they still don't know for sure if the remains are those of 18-year-old Aprina S. Paul, who was last seen in Fitchburg the day before Wagner noticed the fire in her neighbor's yard.
Paul's family told the Wisconsin State Journal she had responded to a Craigslist ad for "partying" last week.
Investigators also don't know how the remains got there—if the woman they found was the victim of homicide or died from other causes, Spoden said. The extent of damage to the bones has made that job difficult, he said.
"We're nowhere near making a determination on if this was a natural death, an accidental death or a homicide," Spoden said.
Authorities hope they can get enough of a DNA sample from the bone fragments to identify the body, Spoden said.
"The nature of how that body was recovered—that it was burned—makes it difficult for just anybody to make a positive ID," he said.
Detectives and deputies, along with investigators from the Rock County Coroner's Office, had wrapped up their work at the house Sunday, he said.
One deputy stayed on the scene and yellow caution tape still surrounded the home as authorities kept it secure.
Wagner's neighbor, 29-year-old Nathan C. Middleton, was still in custody at the Rock County Jail on a probation hold Sunday night, officials said.
Spoden described Middleton as a person of interest, though in what crime—be it homicide, hiding a corpse, or anything else—Spoden did not say. He has talked with District Attorney David O'Leary, Spoden said, but has not recommended specific charges yet.
Middleton had lived at the town of Porter home with his fianc� and infant child since Oct. 16, said John Crull, who owns the property and rented the home to him.
Middleton's fianc� and child were both at the home last week, Spoden said. Although authorities have talked with the fianc�, Spoden said, she is not considered a person of interest or a suspect.
Crull knew Middleton's stepfather, who rented the one-story gray home from Crull for years. With the stepfather's recommendation, and after hearing a glowing review from Middleton's employer in Madison, Crull said he was happy to rent the place to Middleton.
"This guy absolutely fooled me," Crull said.
Like his daughter, Wagner, Crull also noticed the fire burning day and night behind Middleton's home. Neither thought anything of it.
The 221-acre property that Crull owns includes a dairy farm, corn, soybeans and alfalfa, but also woods and plenty of brush.
At this time of year, with people trying to clear and burn brush before winter, it isn't out of the ordinary to see a fire—even one that lasts multiple days, Wagner said.
"I wish there was something weird, to have tipped someone off," she said. "But there wasn't."

Governments from the U.S. to Italy are boosting sales of inflation-linked bonds, wagering consumer prices will remain in check even after central banks inundated the world with cheap cash.
Thirty-five nations issued $1 trillion of the securities in the past three years, the most on record, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The amount of government debt in developed countries tied to consumer prices is now equal to 7.9 percent of the fixed-rate sovereign bond market, the most since 2008, index data compiled by Bank of America Merrill Lynch show.
While cost-of-living increases in the industrialized world have never been smaller during an expansion, demand for the notes shows investors aren't ready to declare that inflation is dead yet after central banks from the U.S. to Japan printed record amounts of money to kick-start their economies. In emerging markets, a currency rout roiling nations from South Africa to Turkey is already igniting inflation and threatening to add billions of dollars to government debt costs.
"A number of countries that issued index-linked bonds have been through a recession in the past few years, so naturally they think inflation will remain low for a long time," Salman Ahmed, the global strategist at Lombard Odier Investment Managers, which oversees $46 billion, said in a telephone interview from London. "But some investors seem to have the opposite view. If inflation surges more than borrowers envisage, they could become an expensive form of funding."
Known as linkers, the bonds allow investors keep pace with inflation because the value of the securities increases as consumer prices rise. When living expenses remain low, issuers can reduce their upfront borrowing costs because linkers pay less in interest than fixed-rate securities.
In the U.S., $15 billion of 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, known as TIPS, were sold at a yield of 0.661 percent on Jan. 23. Similar-maturity fixed-rate Treasuries yielded 2.78 percent on the same day.
Yields were 0.51 percent on the TIPS and the 2.68 percent on the nominal notes today as of 1:00 p.m. in New York.
Demand for linkers has increased as central banks globally dropped interest rates to record lows following the financial crisis and the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan, and the Bank of England flooded the world with money by buying bonds.
Since 2007, central bank assets around the world have almost doubled, to $20.5 trillion, under asset-purchase programs designed to boost growth and prices, according to a June report from the Bank for International Settlements.
Issuance Surges
Sales of linkers worldwide have exceeded $300 billion for three straight years, the first time that's happened on record, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Last year's $315 billion in issuance helped increase the market for inflation-linked debt since the end of 2010 by almost 40 percent to about $2.3 trillion, the data show.
The U.S., the world's largest debtor nation, issued a record $155 billion last year. Italy, the second-largest seller of linkers in dollar terms in 2013, offered 46 billion euros ($63 billion), more than double the amount in 2008.
A number of countries have also resumed sales or started issuing for the first time. Japan issued the debt securities last quarter after a five-year hiatus. New Zealand began selling linkers in October 2012 for the first time since 1999.
Spain and Belgium said they plan to introduce the notes if market conditions allow.
"As long as there is some inflation risk premium priced in, meaning inflation expectations are above what the market prices is likely to occur, then there's an argument to issue such bonds," Anton Heese, head of European inflation research at Morgan Stanley, said in a telephone interview from London.
The gap between five- and 10-year index-linked bond yields in the global market widened to 0.69 percentage point last month, more than at any time since 2011, according to index data compiled by Bank of America. The so-called steeper real yield curve is a sign of increasing risk that living costs globally will rise at a faster pace as the decade progresses.
Price-growth expectations in the euro region, as implied by the gap between five- and 10-year inflation swap rates, widened to 0.47 percentage point on Feb. 7, the most since July 2012. In the U.K., a gauge of inflation expectations in the five years starting 2019, known as five-year, five-year forward break-even rate, was at 3.33 percent today. That's more than the average 3.27 percent over the past three years.
Living Expenses
While countries that issued linkers benefited by lowering their debt costs, investors in the bonds suffered unprecedented losses last year as price pressures from central bank stimulus dissipated, signs of disinflation emerged, and the Fed moved to curtail its bond purchases.
Consumer prices for advanced economies increased 1.4 percent last year, according to the International Monetary Fund. Living expenses have never risen less during an expansion since at least 1980, the first year the IMF figures begin. When the jump in linker sales began in 2011, inflation was 2.7 percent.
Linkers in developed nations lost 4.5 percent last year, the first decline since at least 1997, index data compiled by Bank of America show. In the U.S., TIPS tumbled 9.4 percent in the biggest annual drop since they were introduced 16 years ago. Living costs in the world's largest economy rose 1.48 percent last year, the least since prices fell in 2009 and less than half the pace in 2011.
This year, inflation-linked bonds in developed markets have all advanced, with securities issued by Germany producing their best January returns since 2008. Demand for 52-year notes in a U.K. sale last month reached a record, a sign that investors are hedging their bets on inflation.
"What the market is telling you is that there is low expectation of deflation risk going forward," Kari Hallgrimsson, head of European inflation trading at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in London, said in a telephone interview. "The market is expecting normalization of inflation. Expectations for the future are higher than they are now."
A one-percentage point increase in consumer prices could raise Italy's funding costs on its linkers by about 17 billion euros, according to Morgan Stanley. Living costs in the euro region, to which Italian index-linked bonds are tied, will rise 1.5 percent next year after gaining 1.1 percent this year, the median forecast of economists in the Bloomberg survey showed.
The tying of bonds to prices dates back to at least the 18th century, with the state of Massachusetts issuing bills linked to the cost of silver on the London Exchange in 1742.
Disinflation Risk
Israel was one of the first countries to offer inflation- linked debt when it issued the securities in 1955. The U.K. began selling in 1981, while the U.S. followed in 1997.
Prolonged disinflation may still be the greater risk in developed markets, especially in the euro region as joblessness above 10 percent constrains consumer demand.
Inflation in the 18 nations that share the currency was 0.7 percent in January from a year earlier, less than half the European Central Bank's target and the fourth straight reading below 1 percent. As recently as November 2011, consumer prices climbed at a 3 percent annual pace.
"It could take years for these problems to resolve," Jamie Stuttard, head of international bond management at Fidelity Investments, which oversees $1.7 trillion, said in a telephone interview from London. "There is a strong sign of disinflation particularly in euro zone."
The opposite is happening in emerging markets, where inflation is accelerating. Price pressures are being compounded by investors pulling money from developing nations as the Fed scales back its stimulus, weakening currencies from the Turkish lira to the South African rand.
Emerging-market currencies have swooned, with the lira plunging to a record and the rand tumbling to the lowest since 2008. In Latin America, an index tracking the region's foreign-exchange rates slumped to the weakest in a decade this month. Currency depreciation adds to price pressure by making foreign goods more expensive to buy.
Turkey responded by more than doubling its benchmark interest rate to 10 percent and South Africa lifted rates for the first time in five years. Still, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. predicts inflation in developing nations will rise to 4.4 percent by 2015 from 3.8 percent at the end of last year.
More Worried
That may result in higher servicing costs for linkers. In South Africa, where the inflation rate rose to 5.4 percent in December from a low of 3.4 percent in 2010, the government would incur an extra 1.69 billion rand ($152 million) for every 10 billion rand of issuance if living costs rise to the 6.4 percent implied by the 10-year break-even rate.
The country has 188 billion rand in linkers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
While the currency rout may accelerate price increases in emerging markets as the Fed continues to pull back, U.S. policy makers pledged to keep their five-year-old policy of near-zero rates to support consumer demand. At the same time, Barclays Plc, Commerzbank AG, and Morgan Stanley all predict the ECB will cut its key rate from a record-low 0.25 percent.
"In the long-term, we are worried about inflation," David Hooker, a senior money manager at Insight Investment Management Ltd., which has $450 billion in assets, said in a telephone interview from London. "While the short-term outlook is benign, we are beginning to wonder if the outcome of the current policy is one of much higher inflation."
