Wisconsin's veterans still wanting more after a blowout win
Notes: Wisconsin improved to 5-0 for the third time under head coach Bo Ryan (also 2007-08 and 2011-12). UW's best-ever start under Ryan was a 6-0 mark to open the 2011-12 season ... The Badgers finished with six players in double-figure scoring for the first time since 105-70 win over Eastern Illinois on Dec. 28, 1995. Wisconsin was led by Ben Brust's season-high 19 points vs. Bowling Green, with Sam Dekker (14), Frank Kaminsky (14), Traevon Jackson (13), Josh Gasser (11) and Bronson Koenig (career-high 10) also scoring in double-figures ... Wisconsin scored 80 points in back-to-back games for the first time since scoring 81 vs. Cal and 86 vs. Omaha in December 2012.

Going Deep - BoyzParty
Models: Lucas Georges and Sergio Cardes
Studio: Boyz Party
BoyzParty followed along as 19 year olds Lucas Georges and Sergio Cardes went on a blind date, and soon thereafter, went down on each other in a passionate romp that them both with empty balls and no longer single! They could barely stop making out long enough to strip each other shirts off and explore each other's marble smooth chests and rock hard nipples – that is until they found something just as hard to lick – each other's uncut, throbbing dicks. Once Sergio has completed his taste test of Lucas' dick, he pulled off Lucas' underwear filled him over and let his tongue get back to work, stopping for a brief toe suck then onto Lucas' tempting hole. That ass eating turned into a full scale anal assault as Sergio quickly replaced his tongue with his cock for a deep pounding that started out with them both on their knees, morphed into a solid ride and Lucas took control, before Sergio flipped him over again and soon gave Lucas a massive facial followed by Lucas covering Sergio's chest with a huge jettison of cum! We have a feeling there just might be a second date this time!

Copywriting That Converts, Generates Massive Traffic And Creates A Huge Culture To Serve
By: Sandi Krakowski
Writing words that sell makes building an online business a blast! Why? Because it's easier to help people get the results they are seeking.
For example, what if your product can help someone get out of debt? You have the ability to help people pay off their credit cards, get past their current struggle and rebuild their life. Sounds amazing, doesn't it? Here's the harsh reality behind this amazing product- if you can't write words that sell, no one is helped and you can't stay in business.
The best person for this topic- debt reductions, paying off debt, getting past the bondage of debt and rebuilding your life is non other than Dave Ramsey. He is my go-to source when it comes to learning how to manage wealth and living a life of freedom financially. I trust 100% everything he publishes and have benefited personally from it.
Harsh reality again- if Dave Ramsey didn't have someone on staff who could write sales copy that converts, he would not have the world-wide influence that he does. No one would have bought his books nor would they know who he is. Copy that does this is why he is where he is at. Coupled with marketing to the right clients, we can see the obvious success.
Copy that converts and generates massive traffic is a MUST for your business. Are you taking it seriously?
Every month there are multiple companies that go out of business… or worse yet, never even take off. Obviously there are many factors that can cause this but one simple reason is- they can't write or speak words that sell. Ironically, it's not a hard process to learn, but it is a skill that must be learned, it can't just be picked up by reading a few articles.
The Steps To Learning How To Write Good Copy
Step One- Get my book. It's free and you can begin to implement what it teaches now. You'll find it on iTunes and on Amazon.com With 17 years of experience in business, this will teach you how to become more familiar with your market, your clients and what they are already saying in your respective niche. Then….. your job is critical. Learn to think, process and even LIVE in the world your client lives in.
Bottom line- what you think, what you like, what you believe about your product means absolutely nothing! What does matter is what your client thinks, likes and believes. THIS is your first step. Get to know your client better than they even know themselves.
Step Two- Your WordPress site is the best platform for everything to grow at the fastest pace online. Everything works better with Google Ranking, Social Media connections and beyond with a WordPress site.
My first choice for any beginning business owner is Thesis. Here's why- SEO is unstoppable and can't get better with any other theme. As well, you won't need a web master to run everything for you! Sure, there are other great themes but they ALL seem to lead you on a path to always needing someone else to do everything for you. YOU don't have time for that. Maybe later you'll hire someone to do some custom things, but for now, a good header, a good layout and you're all set.
Once WordPress is set up it's time to SATURATE your mind with good copy.
I hate to break it to you but it's CRITICAL that you get really good at copywriting. And it's NOT going to happen with just a few books or by reading other people's work. It's important for you to understand basic principeles of copy and it's imperative that you learn to bring this into all of your work. Blogging, emails, social media, sales pages and more all depend on good copywriting skills.
Being able to write words that sell doesn't just happen, it's a skill that has to be learned. The only way to learn it is to have someone who is very good at it, teach us. This is how I learned. Do whatever it takes to increase your skill, so you can grow your business. Without copywriting skills everything else will fall apart and won't do what you need it to.
Step Three- Decide and determine in your mind that you will get masterfully good at writing copy that converts. Make a decision to do whatever it takes to get there. Guard your mind. Protect it from negative influences. Remove from your circle of influence those who might hold you back.
The decision to really put ourself into a state of being able to succeed is something that so many people forget. They study, they try, they push…and yet they never get themselves into a state of being prepared to succeed and doing whatever it takes to do so.
When I was a single mom, raising my son who is now 25years old, we were living on $5000 per year. Deep inside of me was a desire to be more and to go farther than I could even imagine. However, the actions to do so were never taken until I was married, some years later, and first exposed to the internet.
It was at that time that I began to take specific steps to learn how to build an online business. I studied businesses, spent hours and hours and hours learning how to build websites, write copy and all the aspects of an online business that were needed. It was not easy, but here I am talking to over a million of you! It WAS WORTH IT! 🙂
If I had given up, you would not be reading this today. Thank you GOD that I didn't give up. There were so many times through the last 17 years that the stage was set…. even prepared it would seem, for me to fail. But I didn't quit. I didn't give up. There was a burning passion and fire inside of me that was BIGGER than me. Today, in 2013, I see it. It's connected to Y-O-U. ALL of you. YOU were the reason I kept going. And YOU were worth it all! Still are!
The question I have for you today is this- are you doing the things that it takes to get you to your dreams? Or are you still hoping that somehow you can get there without doing something different?
Learning to FIND the urgent pressing problem that you are going to solve is critical.
Finding the unique solution that you offer and then understanding how to write words that lead people to that solution is imperative for you to succeed.
Build the best way to reach your ideal clients and then creating an offer that is irresistible is what will create a steady stream of cash flowing into your business daily.
However, if you do all of these things and never take any steps to becoming the kind of person who can manage success, it will flow right through your hands and onto someone else. Building a business is not easy, otherwise everyone would be doing it! But it's also not complicated! It's something that can be done by anyone who will make a commitment to do so. I'm proof of that and so are our clients and their stories!
Today, make a decision to do whatever it takes and then do the actionable steps to get there, for an entire year. At the end of the year you will be masterful, because of your daily steps forward.
Today, make a choice to no longer live the same! YOU were designed to BE MORE!

Don't Get Caught With Your Panties Down &
How A Big Typo Made Me Huge Profits
By: Sandi Krakowski
The year was 1999 and our kitchenware business had just passed a record in profits. Things were booming! Our list had grown to over 30,000 customers, we were publishing a regular newsletter 4x per month, doing regular direct sales campaigns and everyone was tickled pink with the products they bought!
Weekly products were mailed to my house to review for possible sale. Blenders, gadgets, oven inserts and more! Books came on a weekly basis as well!
We had our regular meeting set to roll out our weekly plan. My staff (one other working at home Mom) and I created a newsletter, set sale prices, came up with special promotions and got ready to send out the sales campaign. This became so automatic every week that we could dictate a certain percentage of profits. Add direct mail and things were rolling along smoothly.
At that time in my career I had not taken any copywriting classes yet but wrote all of our copy. Frankly I didn't even know that was what it was called- copywriting! I just wrote from my heart to my customers and figured everyone did it that way.
Positioning a new book we were introducing and linking a special offer of a mixer, grainmill, breadpans, yeast, dough enhancers and vital gluten had us all excited about this week's promotion.
My company at the time was built on two philosophies: Free shipping on every order over $100 and promotions that mirrored the seasons of the year.
In June it was a "You Can Bake Even In The Heat!" sale with tips on how to make amazing homemade breads and cakes even when it was hot outside. Included were tips for high altitude cooking, special ingredients to add and even exclusive recipes to my favorite custom-created coffee drinks with ice and organic whipped cream!
The campaign went live at 8 am ET and by 8:45 am orders were already trickling in! But something was different. It seemed as though more people were reading this week because the amount of replies that came in were already over our personal company record!
It wasn't a holiday so I began to look for clues of what it could possibly be. The email was sent to our list the way it typically was. Pictures were beautiful but nothing out of the ordinary. Pricing was amazing but it was within the range that we always gave on discounts.
What could it be?
I began reading through some of the personal emails coming in and one man's email caught me by surprise. "Did you really mean to write that or was that some sales technique I've not seen before?" was the subject line.
"Oh brother," I thought to myself, "Who could this be?" It was most likely one of my more conservative customers who dotted his i's and crossed his t's and always had time in his schedule to give me his opinion, I assumed. But this time was different. Right in front of my eyes was the mistake. I had really blown it big time!
A brand new book had been released which talked about stocking your pantry for times of emergency. Lists and shopper's guides were given for spices, ingredients, food items, quantities and more making what many times seemed like an enormous task easier to complete. The book was called, "Don't Get Caught With Your Pantry Down."
But that is NOT what my title of this week's news said. No, not at all. I had sent out to over 30,000 people who in many cases were faith based, conservative, modest and upright a header that said,
"Don't Get Caught With Your Panty Down". What a typo that was! *snicker*… I can laugh now but back then I was mortified! Until the results came in that Friday.
We had generated the biggest week of our entire year. $85,000 in sales in one week and it was directly related to that typo. Apparently our customers got such a kick out of the typo that they took some extra time to see what it was we were offering. The people who might have typically overlooked the promotion had taken a few extra minutes to read the details and made a purchase!
What I thought might ruin my reputation created a healthy sense of humor, a ton of emails that were from laughing clients telling me they loved me even though I had made a funny mistake and of course, enormous profits!
So… how do you handle the errors you make in business?
Many times people come into my WP class and have this erroneous belief that they have to get 'everything just so, all perfect and every duck in a row' BEFORE they can get truly serious about their business.
While I am a stickler for order and will not tolerate a business being run in a less than professional manner. But there is one thing I've learned through the years that trumps order and everything else every time- Your customers will love you if you serve them well, be open and transparent and create a culture that is like family.
And… when you make a big mistake they might just buy more than you ever thought they would! They'll also be your biggest cheerleaders! Can you understand now why I love what we do? It is such a passion of mine to serve all of you!
So…. move forward, keep working hard and remember that the next typo you make could be the biggest break in your business!
With love,
Sandi Krakowski

Why do the wieners come 10 to a package, but the buns come 8 to a package?
The Gospels and the historians (such as Flavius Josephus) of the period don't indicate that he was married.
The much later Knights Templar had a tradition about being descended from Christ, but there's no evidence that it was true.
The recent Gnostic writing found was symptomatic of the Gnostic "alternatives" to the Bible that started being written in the 300s and later. Ironically, it was the collection of false writings being put forth that caused the churches to get together and examine each book and thus come up with what we call the Bible. The cannonization councils were extremely thorough in their investigations of each book.
It's to get you to buy more of both until you have an equal number.
I'm an MBA with a focus on marketing. I could go all day talking about things that some companies do.
For example, at one point Mattel used to sell a 10-pack of Hot Wheels cars.
Now it's a 9-pack.
What they did was they enlarged the splash artwork on the front of the box until it was big enough to hide the tray where the 10th car should have been, obscuring the fact that the tray's not there anymore. They then altered the text on the packaging so that it no longer said it was a 10-pack.
It's still sold in the same size box and for the exact same price as the 10-pack.
But due to a little slight-of-hand, you're only getting 9 cars.
I buy Nathan's or Hebrew National with 8 wieners per package, so I have enough buns.
Yes—I sometimes think that whoever comes up with these "burning" issues do it to distract us from the real message, such as Jesus' call, "The Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and believe in the Gospel!"
Small problem. Christ has a Bride already. the Church. Human marriage is merely a symbol of the future eternal union with God. Like the Saducees you miss the point, this time, of his bachelorhood. All those references to his future marriage such as "I go to prepare a place for you" would have no special meaning if he were married. It's even more important since the Templar and more recent new Age idiocy about a descendent have become ways to challenge his Godhood.
Jesus Christ was NOT MARRIED… He was without sin… He DID NOT HAVE KIDS EITHER.. Come on people
Since according to Genesis God instituted marriage, why is "without sin" considered pertinent to the idea of married?
It would have been both natural and a cultural requirement for "Jesus" to marry. What makes it so difficult to believe that fact if you believe in his actual existence?
I personally believe that Jesus was not married and primarily because none of the gospels give any indication that he was.However,were it to turn out that he did have a wife where is the wrong in that. And Rosie M,sounds like,by the way you phrased you comments that marriage is a sin.At least that's the way I see your comment that "he was without sin".You said it,not me.
Because I eat a raw one without a bun now and then.
Because he was so countercultural? Remember that Jeremiah was not married, nor was Paul.
Paul – to be a Pharisee he had to have been married, he was a widower.

Tip Us Off
A sense of the past hangs over Santa Barbara like a strong perfume, but by the time most residents can differentiate between the Carrillos and Castillos-or discover that former Mexican Governor Micheltorena's poor battle record was caused by a killer case of 'rhoids-they've been forced out of town by the one-two punch of Santa Barbara's astronomical housing prices and low paying jobs. Previous generations had Walker "Two-Gun" Tompkins to fill in the past's blanks before they moved on. We, in turn, have Neal Graffy. Gregarious, engaging, and chock-full o' facts, Graffy has (until now) relied almost exclusively upon oral tradition to distill his knowledge to the masses. Now, after 15 years of dredging, digging, and procrastination, he's published Street Names of Santa Barbara, a thin, fun little tome designed to fit neatly into one's pocket (or Christmas stocking). Graffy recognized there's a story behind every street name, but in this book he focuses on the tales behind Santa Barbara's original 52, initially laid out in 1851.

Quasimondo takes dark, funny look at American life in 'Americlown'
In the first of 14 skits composing "Americlown" — a provocative and original production from Quasimondo Milwaukee Physical Theatre's Brian Rott and Jessi Miller — we watch the cast impersonate young schoolchildren, awakening to the magic of language as they painstakingly spell out a word, with awe and mystery in their eyes.
That word is pledge, and within seconds this slightly discombobulated troupe of innocents has been whipped into shape, becoming a regimented cadre. Eyes blazing with hate, they defiantly shout allegiance to the flag while marching off to war. »Read Full Article(2)

That transition process is set to be completed this spring, on March 31. At that point, all Halo related goodness will be handled by 343i, the studio responsible for developing Halo Waypoint, plus Halo CE Anniversary and the upcoming Halo 4.
Bungie did promise to "preserve all existing historical Halo data on Bungie.net for as long as the Internet and Bungie's data storage systems remain functional." Because they love their fans as much as their fans love them.

The Sunset Zone
Theater can provoke a lot of reactions, but apprehensive nail-biting is not typically one of them. You rarely see thrillers on stage that have a lot of suspense, observes Meridith Friedman, the Curious Theatre Company's playwright-in-residence for the companys world premiere of Robert Lewis Vaughans Astronomical Sunset.
Not so, she says, with Astronomical Sunset, the story of a relationship torn asunder by a social-media scandal. The two people victimized by the scandal move to a small town to recover and try to piece their lives back together. There, they meet a couple of interesting characters who may not be what they seem.
Its kind of supernatural, says Friedman. I would compare it to a really good episode of the Twilight Zone or the X-Files.
The show opens tonight at 8 p.m. at Curious, 1080 Acoma Street, and is followed by a reception with the cast and director that includes food and drinks. The play continues its run through December 4. For show times, more information or to purchase tickets, $18 to $42, call 303-623-0524 or visit www.curioustheatre.org.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: Nov. 6. Continues through Dec. 4, 2010

Weekend of Softball Action Hits Ohio Valley
WHEELING – There's no denying the I-470 sports complex is home to some of the best ball fields in the Ohio Valley.
It was for that very reason the ASA of Western Pennsylvania scheduled its second Ohio Valley Cardinal Classic to be held there the weekend of June 28-30.
The Road Runner Rendezvous, another travel softball tournament, however, had already called the fields for their own the same weekend.
"We've been there with this tournament on this weekend for about nine years," tournament director Rick Sherman said. "Ours is always the last full weekend of June. What happened was, the way the weekends fell this year, the last full weekend matched up with the week they used last year, from a standpoint of dates. They thought they would have it their same weekend, but, of course, I already had that weekend."
According to Steve Fee, the Western Area Tournament Umpire-in-Chief, the ASA didn't have a problem with the pecking order.
"We really liked I-470, but Rick's been going there for years," Fee said. "We would have used I-470 because those are tremendous fields, but it was the date more than anything."
The Cardinal Classic, though, didn't have very far to go to find some quality fields. Just south down the road to Moundsville.
"We're just glad to be in the area," Fee said. "People in West Virginia can't be more helpful. Whether it's at I-470 or Moundsville."
More than 90 travel softball teams will be in action between the two tournaments with 53 partaking in the Cardinal Classic.
First pitch for games starting on Friday is noon, except for Valley Fork field 2, which won't get off and running until 2:45 that afternoon.
"We had about 48 teams last year," Fee said. "There were eight games guaranteed, so everyone got games in. Then we got some feedback from coaches saying they wanted to play less games if they could play all seven innings. So, now it's six games guaranteed and there won't be a time limit for each game. There'll be seven full innings of softball.
"It gives kids more opportunities to play in front of college coaches and it gives coaches better opportunities to see more action. A good thing about Moundsville is all the fields are right across the street from each other."
A handful of local teams will participate in the Cardinal Classic with other teams coming from Morgantown, Washington, Pa., Waynesburg, Somerset, New Castle and Pittsburgh.
"A lot of teams come down from Pittsburgh since it's not that far," Fee noted. "It's a nice little get away without having to travel."
While the Cardinal Classic will be in action in Moundsville, the Road Runner Rendezvous will take over the fields of Wheeling.
Forty-five teams from West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania will be scattered across the ball fields of I-470, 47th Street, Bridge Park and Belle Isle.
"We've had a pretty nice turnout of teams," Sherman said. "We tend to have a wide range (of competition) in each division. Usually we'll have about 25 percent of teams be really good in an age division. Then 50 percent is right in that middle range. A couple of teams in each division are a little bit closer to a rec level team."
Both tournaments will feature seven age groups: 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U.
"Between the two tournaments, the Wheeling hotels and restaurants will be pretty happy this weekend," Sherman said.
If that's not enough softball for ones fill, there will also be an 8U tournament in Glen Dale going on the same weekend.

What is this 'Debit Card' you speak of?
The National: Credit card users offered a debt-free alternative
Here is the part where a debit card is explained in simple man's terms:
"They can be used for most kinds of transactions and cash withdrawals from ATMs, but unlike credit cards, which rely on borrowed money, they function like electronic chequebooks by drawing only on whatever cash is available in current accounts."
This is the funniest thing I ever read. I have been bashing my head on a wall for a long time asking, "why, oh, why can we only spend money on credit when I have it in my bank?"

AUSTIN, TX, APRIL 12 – Repsol Honda's Marc Marquez continued his total domination of the Red Bull Grand Prix of Americas today in final qualifying, the defending World Champion and last year's race winner ripping off lap record lap after lap record lap to earn pole position for tomorrow's race.
When all was said and done, Marquez had his 11th career MotoGP pole position in hand at the same circuit where he earned his debut MotoGP pole position a year ago. The young Spaniard put on a clinic, taking the top spot away for Movistar Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo with his 2:03.051 on his second lap. Then he just kept lowering the mark, dipping into the 2:02s with a 2:02.886 before taking it down to the 2:02.815 that earned him pole position.
"Of course I'm happy," Marquez said. "All the weekend is going good, but tomorrow is of course the most important. I'm happy with what we have found. We will continue to push."
The Repsol Hondas ended up first and second on the front row for the race tomorrow with Dani Pedrosa just .289 of a second behind his teammate with his 2:03.062.
"Today we did some improvement on the setup and I'm happy," Pedrosa said. "Tomorrow we will try and improve a little more."
Hondas will own the front row with LCR's Stefan Bradl earning the final spot up front with his 2:03.196.
The first non-Honda was fourth and it was the Open class NGM Forward Racing Yamaha of Aleix Espargaro, the Spaniard running behind Movistar Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo to steal the spot away from the two-time World Champion. The pair were separated by just .003 of a second with Lorenzo holding on to sit in the middle of row two for the race. Those two will be joined on the second row by Lorenzo's teammate Valentino Rossi.
Espargaro came through from Qualifying 1, finishing second in that session behind Go & Fun Honda's Alvaro Bautista to move to Q2.
Row three will be led by Cal Crutchlow, the Brit again hampered by a mechanical problem with the factory Ducati at the end of the session but managing a 2:03.780 prior to his woes. Crutchlow's former teammate Bradley Smith will line up next to him on the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha and Andrea Iannone will fill out the third row of the grid on the Pramac Ducati.
Andrea Dovizioso rounded out the top 10 on the second factory Ducati.

Doing what: Zipline Adventure from Mendoza in Potrerillos Valley
Chris USA
One of the highlights of our 21 day Chile/Patagonia/Argentina vacation. The tour group was outstanding including pick up and drop off from hotel, to their home base and making it feel comfortable, to the safety factor they followed for the rafting adventure, having plenty of gear wet suits, helmets, boots, etc to choose from. Although we did not take advantage of it - hiking and zip line was also available. After our raft adventure we enjoyed a very nice lunch cost extra before leaving. Very good food and a nice variety to choose from. I am 72 years old and did it after breaking 5 ribs to months earlier from a fall from a ladder. You can do it to and enjoy a great adventure.

The hotel is closed since 1978 but i can visited the gardens and around the hotel. The road of there is in great and near there are a big reserve of water. Its a different tour because is a natural reserve.
Doing what: Villavicencio Natural Reserve Half-Day Tour from Mendoza
Very good tour overall. I often find the wineries visited on these types of group tours are terrible, but this one was very good. And the guy at Kaiken winery who led the tasting was great. The olive oil tour at Club Tapiz was really interesting if a bit long, and the tasting was fun. The dinner experience was good overall. But, 5 or 6 people at the table ordered the pasta and we all found it absolutely inedible. It tasted like someone had poured a pound of salt into each dish. It was pretty gross. Also, our tour guide for the evening didn't do anything but drop us off and pick us up. We were VERY lucky to have another group do the Club Tapiz tour with us, because the main tour guide from the winery spoke no English. If the other group's amazing bilingual guide had not been there, we would not have understood anything. This is the reason I didn't give the tour four stars.

Good thanks.

The tour started late but the guide was very good
Doing what: Mendoza City Tour
We had a great time on this tour! They picked us up prompty at our hotel and took us to a little oasis in the mountains complete with a restaurant, huge patio, kitchen (with great food) and lounging chairs. We went whitewater rafting in the morning, which was one of the highlights of our trip to Argentina. We then did the ziplining in the afternoon, which had lines that extended over the Mendoza River. Some of the longest I've ever experienced. The guides were professional and helpful and the costs for these excursions was very reasonable compared to their competitors. I highly recommend!

A call has gone out to cities across the nation to help with the plight of towns struck hard by Hurricane Katrina.
Toledo city officials yesterday participated in a conference call organized by the United States Conference of Mayors, during which dozens of mayors from California to New Jersey heard first-hand from their counterparts down south.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency was also on hand to state the region's needs in the starkest of terms.
With the prospect of New Orleans staying underwater for the next six months, the agency pointed out that 500,000 residents from that city alone would need somewhere to stay.
The Ford administration ordered its Department of Economic and Community Development to conduct a regional assessment of the city's housing - including vacancies at area nursing homes, hospitals, and other care facilities - which will eventually submitted to FEMA.
Toledo city officials related how many mayors of smaller cities in Mississippi and Louisiana - some of them telling their stories in tears - felt they were getting very little relief or attention.
City officials will hold a forum in City Council chambers at 2 p.m. tomorrow for area church leaders, or any organization members who wish to attend, to put them in contact with agencies involved in the hurricane relief effort.
The city has received dozens of calls from individuals and churches wondering how they can help.
Rather than go down alone, the city urged would-be benefactors to link up with agencies like the Red Cross, so they don't become more of a liability than a help.

Dow tanks briefly after fake AP tweet
The Dow tumbled nearly 150 points this afternoon after a fake tweet about White House explosions was posted from the AP's hacked twitter account. Markets recovered almost completely after the AP clarified that the news was false.
Researchers claim Tweets predict The Dow
Invented by Charles Dow in 1896, The Dow Jones Average ("The Dow") is perhaps the most widely known metric of equity market behaviour. Calculated as a price weighted average of thirty stocks, The Dow is generally eschewed by professional investors who prefer the broader S&P 500, a so-called market capitalisation weighted index consisting of 500 stocks. Regardless, proponents of the Dow claim its simplicity, long history and careful design as a reliable proxy of US economic activity as points in its favour. But can they now claim predicability as well? [more inside]
High frequency trading crop circles
High frequency trading crop circles. Automated trading is flooding stock exchanges with nonsensical orders making odd patterns like The Knife at millisecond scales. Bugs, emergent phenomena, or market jamming strategies? No one seems to know.
Sell in May and go Away but buy back on St. Leger Day
Academic discussions of stock markets frequently reference The Efficient Markets Hypothesis; an idea that share prices are fairly valued, their prices reflecting all available information. However folklore such as "Sell in May and go away", which proved prudent in 2007, clashes with this theory. [more inside]

Cash & Hemlock Partners LLC
EarthShell, a small Maryland company that makes environment-friendly packaging (among others) may wink out of existence thanks to PIPEs, or private investments in public equities. Who likes PIPEs? Hedge Funds, mostly. Companies that take the pipe, as it were, may be sealing their doom. 10 percent of PIPE deals done this year are 'death spirals', where the company's stock price plummets from short selling by the financiers who structured the deal in the first place. And of course it's legal if you don't get caught shorting the stock naked and covering with the shares from the PIPE. (BTW, http://www.earthshell.com appears to be on the margins now or I'd have linked it).
Five Years After the Bubble
Five Years After the Bubble is a collection of ten links from the perspective of those who were neck deep in the whole thing. I found the link while reading up on Andy Kessler, who had an interesting piece in today's WSJ, and is giving away his new book.
One man's retirement math: Social Security wins
One man's retirement math: Social Security wins At the heart of President Bush's plan to sell Social Security private accounts is a simple notion: You're always better off investing your retirement money than letting the government do it. By doing it yourself, you can stow some money in the stock market, and over the long run will get a better return on that investment than today's Social Security system offers. The idea is broadly accepted. That's why the administration's plan to partially privatize the system sounds appealing to many. But that better return won't always happen. Just ask Stanley Logue of San Diego. For 45 years, the defense-industry analyst paid into the system until his retirement in 1994. But with all the recent hoopla over reform, Mr. Logue, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate, decided to go back and check his own records. Would he have done better investing his money than the bureaucrats at the Social Security Administration?
What is the future of the US stock market?
Why Stock Markets Crash : Critical Events in Complex Financial Systems. Professor Didier Sornette of UCLA has some very interesting things to say about stock markets. In his book, he explains how his "theory of cooperative herding and imitation [...] has detected the existence of a clear signature of herding in the decay of the US S&P500 index since August 2000 with high statistical significance, in the form of strong log-periodic components." Although his timing has been just a bit early, the theory, the predictions to date and the pictures are all pretty uncanny. This is easily the most interesting book on the stock market I have ever read and provides interesting and believable hypotheses about things I never imagined could have rigorous explanations. For an overview, here is an interview with the author.
Google heads for IPO
Another "Google heading for an IPO" report - but this time it's for real, according to the Financial Times. Apparently the shares will be sold through an electronic auction "designed to prevent a recurrence of the sort of financial scandals that have engulfed Wall Street since the collapse of the dotcom bubble". Not that Google was ever going to be Enron.
Someone we trust says something reassuring.
Someone we trust says something reassuring. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, arguably the most powerful man in the world, blames "infectious greed" for the recent panic-like tail-spins on Wall Street, but says that the economy is on the way to recovery. One comment held that Greenspan was finally able to let out how he feels about what's going on, without shrouding his opinion in economic jibber-jabber.
"For once he really spoke his mind. He usually tends to obfuscate things quite a bit."But really, how many of you expected Greenspan to say anything other than "the fundamentals are in place for a return to sustained healthy growth"? Does Greenspan actually feel this way? Could it be that he is actually majorly pessimistic, but is using his soothing sweet-song voice and obvious clout and earned respect to somehow buck recent trends? Bush's speech didn't do much for our faltering economy, but will Greenspan's? Can one man's mere words possibly change the course of history? Well?
Oooh, Martha's in trouble...
Oooh, Martha's in trouble... Looks like her ex-boyfriend may have tipped her off to some insider information (and subsequently got popped). News of the incident has caused Martha Stewart Omnimedia stock to drop. Not a Good Thing.
Worldcom had lent $430 million to Bernard Ebbers, its CEO - apparently to meet margin calls on its stock.
Worldcom had lent $430 million to Bernard Ebbers, its CEO - apparently to meet margin calls on its stock. (The amount was $366 million as per BusinessWeek). Bernie Ebbers resigned on April 30th. "About the best that can be said of the arrangement is that it keeps a big block of WorldCom stock out of the market, leaving it safely parked in the CEO's portfolio. Price to WorldCom: almost 20 percent of its balance sheet cash as of year-end 2001." I wonder, what could the board have been thinking?!
Fake profits are causing the stock market to descend.
Fake profits are causing the stock market to descend. Could someone explain to me the meaningful difference between Enron and Amazon.com? One company recently reported fake profits of $5 million, while having billions in debt. Enron, well...no profits either, and billions in debt. So why is Amazon.com considered "promising"? Enron had a revenue stream too.... Prediction: Amazon.com's stock will be "revalued" sharply lower as people get lucid about real profits and as the accounting/profit scandals spread.
The Catch with Wells Fargo's Share Builder
The Catch with Wells Fargo's Share Builder Some of you may have seen Wells Fargo's ads touting $4 per transaction and unlimited transactions for $12. The main catch is that you cannot trade every day. From their FAQ- "ShareBuilder trades can be made the first, second, third or fourth Tuesday of each month. You select which day you would like your trade to take place when setting up your ShareBuilder Plan. In the event of a month with five Tuesdays, no ShareBuilder trades will take place on the fifth Tuesday." When the rest of the world is going to real-time trading, why do you think Wells Fargo is pushing this? Do you think it is deceptive that this is not mentioned up-front?
An idea to support the U.S economy.
An idea to support the U.S economy. The suggestion is that everyone American should buy 10 or 20 shares in their favourite stock on Monday, and in doing so support their country in the time of crisis. It sounds like a good idea to me. (The story is at the bottom of the page)
An Australian Man who sent millions of e-mails around the world falsely stating shares in an American company would rise 900 per cent was today sentenced to two years in jail. The charges filed are believed among the first of their type made against anyone in the world. Mr Hourmouzis had pleaded guilty to two charges of making a false statement on the Internet.
"I wasn't doing anything wrong..."
"I wasn't doing anything wrong..." So says Jonathan Lebed, the 16-year-old who paid out $285,000 to the SEC to settle his pump-and-dump case. His father agrees: "He earned it. He did a lot of work. He didn't sit behind a garage smoking pot, or stealing wheels off a car." Yeah, right: after all, he bought his parents a Mercedes with the profits of his stock manipulation.
NBCi relaunches as probably the most boring, blase portal site I've ever seen and their stock goes up? Is it just me, or does it look like they bought the site from "Al's Do It Yourself Portals"?
Speculation time:
Will MSFT go up or down tomorrow on the market? Whatcha all think?

The Baltimore Ravens got help on the offensive line by agreeing to a two-year contract with former Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie on Tuesday.
Here are several thoughts on the move:
The first thought is concerning McKinnie's health. He was released by the Vikings after reportedly weighing nearly 400 pounds. I assume McKinnie is closer to playing shape now. Otherwise, the Ravens would not have signed him. But conditioning is something to watch early in the season.
Baltimore has a decision to make with McKinnie and current left tackle Michael Oher. McKinnie has played left tackle his entire career. But his conditioning is in question, he's on a new team, and he has to learn a new offense in about two weeks. All of these factors could make it risky to ask McKinnie to protect quarterback Joe Flacco's blind side in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If McKinnie becomes a quick study, the Ravens could make the switch. Oher is much better at right tackle.
This move reminds me of Baltimore's decision in 2008 to sign veteran offensive tackle Willie Anderson. McKinnie, who will be 32 next month, is not the long-term solution. But the Ravens are trying to make a Super Bowl run this year and McKinnie could be a good short-term rental. Anderson gave the Ravens one good year in 2008 at age 33 before retiring. Baltimore advanced to the AFC title game that season.
Finally, the Ravens realized they couldn't go into the season starting a rookie offensive tackle. Third-round pick Jah Reid might eventually become a good player. But he needs to work on several things before he becomes a full-time starter. Yes, McKinnie's conditioning and work ethic are risks. But at least the Ravens know McKinnie can perform in the NFL at a high level.

Mackenzie King has covered a lot of water since joining the Swan Creek Rowing Club's learn-to-row program in Lambertville three years ago.
The Yardley, Pa. resident is among the most promising young standouts in the national rowing picture. King was one of 24 individuals who earned berths on the U.S. Junior Worlds Development Team, which traveled to Spain for training last month.
King and her U.S. teammates worked out on the Banyoles course where the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics were held.
"We trained there to learn how to maintain a high performance level while in unfamiliar surroundings," said King, who'll be a senior in the electrical occupations technology program at Bucks County Technical High School this fall. "It was very exciting and a great experience.
"The Spanish Junior National team was training at the same location and it was interesting to see that rowing is a sort of universal language in that it's basically the same everywhere."
King was invited to attend a U.S. Junior National Identification Camp early this year as a possible candidate for the U.S. Junior rowing team after producing a superb 7:26.2 ergometer machine time for a two-kilometer distance during February's world indoor rowing championships — the CRASH B's — in Boston.
Since then she's sliced her time down to 7:18.0 and national coaches have kept an eye on her after she won her varsity single race (only her second time competing in a single) in May at the Mid-Atlantic Junior Regatta on West Windsor Township's Mercer Lake.
She attended an additional ID camp for the 2015 Junior Worlds crew and after that was invited to be part of the U.S. Junior Worlds team which went to Spain. There, the athletes spent 10 days training in small boats to help build their foundations for the 2015 season.
King participated in the sweep women event with seven others. There also was training for sweep men, sculling men and sculling women.
"The purpose for the team was to learn as much as possible in preparation for next summer, and hopefully making the team that will compete at the junior world championships in Rio," said King.
US Rowing moved the worlds development team program to Spain last year as the focus has shifted from the eight and four to training and development in small boats.
"The course at Banyoles provides us an opportunity for us to challenge our high-level development, age-eligible athletes in a fantastic, international training environment of a former Olympic venue," said Steve Hargis, US Rowing director of development. "We believe efficiencies and knowledge gained in these boats will provide us better 'boat movers' as they grow in the junior national team structure."
The 2015 Junior Worlds Development Team is selected from the junior sweep, sculling and high-performance camps, providing a unique development opportunity for athletes who have birthdays in 1997 or later that have demonstrated the ability to compete at a high level.
Amelia Aspell, the head youth coach at Swan Creek, has no doubt King has what it takes to become a key cog in the US Rowing outlook.
"Mackenzie is the kind of girl who will continue to progress," she said. "She's not a flash in the pan. Her star is rising. She's gone from strength to strength while building ties to the club and is a true team player.
"She's always the last to leave after practice, helping coaches with any extras we're left with, and helps with the new rowers and never uses her success as anything but a credit to her little club. Despite our limited resources she's done exceptionally well, and her loyalty is astounding."
King feels the all the work and training she engaged in this summer will only help her continue to make huge strides in the sport.
"I think I have decent technique, especially after this summer of technically-focused intensive coaching," she said. "I often row in stroke seat, which means I'm the one setting the pace for everyone to follow, so I try to have good rhythm throughout the stroke. That's a really important part of rowing efficiently.
"In addition to continuing to build fitness and hone my technique, I'm going to be working on improving my race mentality and approaching every piece with a more aggressive mindset."
Just three summers ago, in 2011, King got her initial taste of the sport when she enrolled in an introductory course at the Swan Creek RC on the Delaware River.
"My mom knew about rowing from friends and thought it might be a good match for me," said King. "I really enjoyed it. I liked the friendly atmosphere of the club, so I signed up for the autumn racing season. It's pretty amazing to have gotten close to the national level in a sport I started with only a few years ago!"
With formal practices completed for the summer, King is looking ahead to the fall, when she plans to race as a single and with a Swan Creek team boat, either an eight-plus-coxswain or a four-plus, at regattas.
"We have head races in the fall," she said, "which are longer time-trial format races. During the winter there's indoor training when we build strength and speed on the ergometers. There are competitions held on the ergs, which help break up training.
"Next spring I'll be trying to once again be invited to the U.S. selection camp to have the opportunity to earn a spot on the national team."

Read the washingtonpost.com Live Online discussion on A FAITH-BASED FIX with The Root's Washington reporter Dayo Olopade.
The first month of Barack Obama's presidency brought change to all parts to Washington—none more sweeping than the passage of his American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, designed to shock the U.S. economy out of its slump. A notable portion of the $787 billion should be coming to communities of color that have been particularly hard hit by the downturn. And one of the key vehicles for getting the money to needy citizens will be Obama's brand-new Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The president "wants one of the functions of that office to be the implementation of the Recovery Act," said Melody Barnes, director of Obama's Domestic Policy Council, where the faith office will be housed. "He's outlined a few different ways in which he hopes the office will initially be quite helpful, one of them being the connection between the bill and the reality."
Though the specifics of the distribution have yet to be filled in, lawmakers in heavily black districts are already expressing hope about the boost to religious-based organizations. "There are huge numbers of faith-based organizations that have nonprofit groups that are serving communities, especially in this time of crisis," said Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland following the Congressional Black Caucus' first White House meeting with the president. "I think the administration has taken recognition of that."
Speaking about the faith-based office recently, a senior White House official, who declined to be identified in order to speak more freely about the office, confirmed that "we've tasked the office with making sure these groups are plugged into the recovery."
