Recycled Bike Guards Stop Rider From Getting Trashed
Two guys, who used to work for Planet Bike, whom we profiled recently, have since set up Portland Design Works (PDW). Their mission:
We want to see more people view bikes as transportation rather than toys.
As the ever observant Wend Magazine recently espied, Portland Design Works are making bicycle fenders (aka mud guards) from 100% post-consumer recycled beverage bottles. They reckon the stylish mud-guards will fit most city and mountain bikes.
PDW's other bike gear includes tools, inflation devices and accessories like their bamboo handlebar grips. 1% of the fledging company's gross revenue from 2009 will be donated to the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA.)
January 2009 was probably not the best time to start a new company, but they are currently still with us, so congratulations to them and best wishes for the long life of their new venture.

Their battlefield roles range from the benign, like carrying supplies to U.S. troops on the ground, to the deadly, like the increasing drone attacks in Yemen and Pakistan. As UAVs are used more, embarrassing incidents also riseground controllers losing control of test drones or crashing them on missions. Here's a roundup of the good, bad, and ugly incidents. By Jon M. Chang Email Comments 0 Share Back 6 of 9 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails Ababil THE BAD The U.S. is far from the only country building drones. Ghods Aviation in Iran manufactures the Ababil, but other countries and groups in the region and beyond have used it. Hezbollah tried to attack Israel with the Ababil in 2006, but all drones were shot down before they could cause damage. The Ababil may pale in comparison to modern U.S. drones, but it's still worth keeping an eye on. It's suspected that the Sudanese government used the drone to attack rebel forces earlier this year.

Youth ministry major enjoys the 'waves' of experiences on PRIME
"The pastor allows me to teach whenever I want so I'm getting lots of practice."
The sun shines bright on Justin Sommer as he waits for that perfect wave. A dolphin fin approaches his right side as he sits in the water.
"This is crazy," he thinks to himself.
The wave comes near and takes hold of him, but he stands at the last moment and rides the current toward shore on his six-and-a-half-foot surfboard. It's not exactly a hobby he's used to, having grown up in the Midwest, but this senior youth ministries major was enjoying every moment of his time out in California on PRIME.
Sommer, of Berne, Ind., worked as the youth ministry intern at Covenant Presbyterian Church in North Park, Calif., a city near San Diego. He ministered primarily to younger audiences in middle school, high school and college. He also worked firsthand with the Urban Youth Collaborative, an organization determined to connect youth groups and public schools. He also helped recruit and lead various Bible clubs in the schools.
"This is a good distance between me and what I'm used to," Sommer said. "I wanted an urban context setting. I grew up in a rural community my whole life so I knew going urban would challenge me every day. The pastor and I also clicked well when discussing the idea of me going out there for PRIME."
PRIME is an internship experience designed by the Ministry and Missions department at Huntington University. The PRIME (Practical Research and Immersion through Ministry Effectiveness) program prepares students to enter the field of ministry after graduation. Ministry and missions students choose a location of their choice during the months of May through December after their junior year. These students are then mentored by experienced ministry leaders.
This PRIME experience has been unique for Sommer. Not only does he strive to keep the attention of all his students, but must design his lessons while keeping both middle and high school age groups in mind.
"The pastor allows me to teach whenever I want so I'm getting lots of practice," he said.
He also had the chance to lead a missions trip to Mexico to build houses with his students. He witnessed firsthand how much planning goes on behind the scenes for missions trips.
"You have to make sure you cover all your bases," he said. "You have to be flexible."
As his PRIME experience concluded, Sommer felt more affirmed in his calling to enter into youth ministry than ever before.
"The church here has been supportive of me and helped me develop my spiritual gifts," he said. "After I finish leading worship or leading a missions trip or leading a lesson, people come up to me and offer me encouragement and constructive criticism."

Politically speaking, most of us identify with a certain ideology, conservative or liberal. While we may swing both ways dependent upon the issue, I believe one of the two major parties more closely reflects each of our beliefs and values. This leads to a discussion of the movie, "2016 Obama's America."
I suspect those who support the president probably hate that the film exists even though they may have not seen it. Those who aren't supporters of the president probably think the movie's intention is to destroy his campaign. I saw it today and I can say that the presentation is very fair.
It is not a hit piece on Obama. It is a documentary that explains why he believes the way he does and governs in a way so different from previous presidents. As the movie trailers proclaim, "Love him or hate him, you don't know him."
I have strong opinions of the current administration, but that is not to be discussed here. I simply urge you to see the movie regardless your political leanings. You may change your vote based upon what you learn in 97 minutes.
QUIK 1 year, 6 months ago
Good advice. Chris Matthews also presented a documentary on President Obama that people should see. Also CNN has completed an documentary on President Obama called Obama Revealed. Both were very informative and should help those who are still undecided on which they want to vote. It seems people have strong feelings on just about everything from economy, abortion, sports teams, religion, food, taxes, sex, etc. Hopefully we as people of the planet will embrace stronger feelings on kindness, forgiveness, love, tolerance, etc. T. Wright
Sister_Ruby 1 year, 6 months ago
Obama gives Chris Matthews a "thrill up his leg" every time He speaks. I can only imagine what type of worshipful adoration his "documentary" would be.
Shinedownfan 1 year, 6 months ago
I would like to see it, but since I already have my mind made up about (not) voting for him, I dont wanna waste my $5.50. Wish it would come out on DVD before the election though.

Donaldson, Ganton named Forester Athletes of Week
Huntington, Ind.—The Huntington University Athletic Department announced its Athletes of the Week for the week of Nov. 13-19. Women's basketball freshman Jenna Donaldson and men's basketball senior Kyle Ganton earned the honors for their outstanding efforts during the week's competitions.
Jenna Donaldson, a pre-med biology major from Auburn, Ind. (DeKalb High School), was instrumental in leading the Foresters to a 2-0 week by averaging 22 points a game on 72 percent (18-25) shooting and 7.5 boards. On the road against NAIA Division II 14th-ranked Aquinas College, Donaldson led Huntington to the 70-69 overtime win with team-highs of 18 points and seven rebounds, and in the Foresters' 106-92 victory over NAIA Division I Olivet Nazarene, she went 11-13 from the field for 26 points and added eight rebounds. The Foresters (4-1) begin MCC action on Nov. 21 when they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Knights of Marian College at 7 p.m.
Kyle Ganton, an elementary education major from Coldwater, Mich. (Bronson High School), put together three solid performances to help Huntington go 3-0 on the week. He averaged 20.3 points and 5.3 boards per contest while shooting 64 percent (18-28) from the field, including 62 percent (8-13) from 3-point range, and a perfect 17-17 from the line. He capped off the week with a 26-point performance in the championship game of the Huntington University/Ness Brothers Hall of Fame Classic to earn a selection to the All-Tournament team. Huntington returns to action hosting Marian College in their MCC conference opener on Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.

Chinatown and Pahurat
Chinatown has grown into the country's largest Chinese district and is a sprawl of narrow alleyways, temples and shop houses packed between Charoen Krung (also known as New Road) and the river, separated from Ratanakosin by the Indian area of Pahurat - famous for its cloth and dressmakers' trimmings, bordered on the east by Hualamphong train station. There are almost 100 gold shops in the Sampeng quarter. Chinatown is captivating for its markets, shophouses, open-fronted warehouses and remnants of colonial-style architecture, and it also has a few noteworthy temples.
The Grand Palace
The Grand Palace is one of Bangkok's major tourist attractions. Built in 1782, The Palace occupies an area of 218,400 square metres and is surrounded by walls totalling a length of 1,900 metres. Situated within the walls are the Royal residences, the Royal Chapel of the Emerald Buddha and Government offices.
Chaloemkrung Royal Theatre
Located on Charoenkrung Road in Phra Nakhon district, this theatre used to be Chaloemkrung movie house 111. The place was renovated to become a modern theatre well equipped with special effects and techniques including laser and multi-vision systems. There is a wide variety of performances on offer, including Khon (drama enacting scenes from Ramayana), plays, period dramas and movies.

Wat Arun - The Temple of Dawn
This is a favourite among Bangkok's many temples. Visiting this remarkable and highly recognisable site at sunset or sunrise is a stunning experience. The temple is a classic Prang structure of Ayutthayan style, built as a representation of Mount Meru, home of the Khmer gods. According to scholars, a wat (temple) has occupied this spot along the river for centuries, but only in 1768 was it named the Temple of Dawn.
Wat Pho - The Temple of The Reclining Buddha
This famous statue was featured in the first season of Jerry Bruckheimer's smash hit television show, The Amazing Race, and is the largest and oldest temple in Bangkok. The Buddha itself is 151 feet long and its feet alone are 10 feet long and inlaid with Mother of Pearl, marking the 108 auspicious signs. Around the statue are 108 bowls where visitors can place coins for good luck. Buy a packet of coins and make the circuit around the Buddha, putting one coin in each bowl. Afterwards, head outside to the Massage School of Wat Pho and enjoy an inexpensive but excellent massage.

text: Exactly, it is not their doing something, It is about being in view, surposedly doing their own thing when others were being interviewed. It does not matter the number of feet they were behind. It is being in the picture. Like being on the cover of People magazine. Everybody who did not know them will see their picture on the magazine when they go shopping. It is about exposure and being subtle about getting it. Did you not notice the handler kept moving to block the view. If there was nothing wrong. she would not have tried. When they were blocked, they moved to the middle between Derek and Lil'Kim. Melissa looked at the camera and moved till she had the better exposure and planted herself there. At the begining. It was Tony who was checking the camera. It is playful and juvenile to wave, jump etc. What I saw looked very mecenary. so subtle it worked.Originally Posted by anders332;3408988;

CASEY COLLECTS PAIR IN HUGE ONTARIO WIN London, ON – The fist pump said it all. This was an important goal. Casey Cizikas (Mississauga, ON/Mississauga, OHL) scored a wrap-around goal at 15:28 of the third period, breaking a 2-2 tie and giving Ontario a huge 3-2 lead en route to a 4-2 win over Quebec at the 2008 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. Cizikas took the puck behind the net and slid it into the net just ahead of sprawling Quebec goaltender Olivier Bellavance-Roy. The goal sent the pro-Ontario crowd to its feet and moved Ontario into the semi-finals. Ontario will finish first in Pool A. Quebec opened the scoring when Mathieu Gingras (Ile Bazard, QC/Lac St-Louis, midget) found the back of the net at 9:44 of the first period. It stayed 1-0 Quebec until the eight-minute mark of the second period. Taylor Beck (Niagara Falls, ON/Guelph, OHL) streaked down the right wing and snapped a shot past Roy to make it 1-1. Team Ontario's Joey Hishon (Stratford, ON/Owen Sound, OHL) broke a 1-1 tie at 5:43 of the third period to give his team the lead. Ontario seemed to be in control until Quebec's David Gilbert (Ste-Julie, QC/Antoine, midget AAA) drew a penalty shot at 10:53 of the third. Gilbert went in on Ontario's Michael Zador (Toronto, ON/London, OHL) and beat him with a deke to the forehand. But Ontario wouldn't be denied, thanks in large part to the work of Cizikas. |

All black. Again. (My favorite!)
Pulled this belt out from the back of my closet when doing a bit of cleaning! Its actually my belt that I wore for horse shows a couple years back when I used to do horse jumping competitions! I loved the pattern and color of it though, so i'm super glad it still fits (as a waist belt - no hope in wearing it as a regular belt anymore, unless i'm an 8 year old twig).
Interesting side fact: if you look closely enough, you can see a hint of a scar on my back that happened last year. Oh, I loved the dorms (thanks detachable ladders!).

APLU President Peter McPherson, Monica Morrill, Librarian of Congress James Billington, Carnegie Corp. President Vartan Gregorian, National Academy of Sciences President Ralph Cicerone and Richard Riley ¿ former secretary of education and governor of South Carolina ¿ at a wreath-laying ceremony in Washington D.C. (Submitted by Widmeyer Communications / July 21, 2012) |
Monica Morrill didn't know she was the descendent of an influential friend and ally to Abraham Lincoln until she was 16 years old.
In a high school report on the American Dream, she wrote that it contained three major planks: freedom of religion, freedom of education and the ownership of private property.
It prompted her teacher to ask if she was related to the late Justin Morrill. A family member confirmed that yes, she was.
Twenty years later she was treated to another surprise — an invitation to a wreath-laying ceremony at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
A growing system
Monica Morrill moved to the northeastern part of Somerset County about a year and a half ago. Though she and her husband are from other parts of the country — she was raised in Brentwood, Calif., and he's from the nation's capital — they both agreed to relocate for the sake of their children.
"We were looking for rural area to raise our kids and live around farms," she said.
Coincidentally, her 19th century cousin had a huge impact on farming. Justin Morrill had retired at the age of 36 after making a fortune operating a general store that later became a bank. In 1855 he was convinced to run for U.S. Congress and became elected as member of the Whig party.
Justin Morrill supported the idea that higher education should go beyond the classic liberal arts. He drafted legislation to form "land-grant" colleges across the country that would be open to low-income farmers for the advancement of agriculture.
This bill, known as the Morrill Act, was sent to the president's desk. Though a similar provision had been vetoed by the previous president, James Buchanan in 1859, Monica Morrill said there was little doubt that Lincoln would sign it into law.

I'm 5'8" and the jacket sits at upper thigh level, the arms are plenty long enough so if you are more petite it may be a little long (although it can be fitted to the wrist). Overall very good value for money. |

"Sign your name," Gulick says, pointing to a sheet. "I won't bug you, I promise."
Who don't you know? I ask. "You really do have to stay connected and available to do well," says Gulick, who currently lists about 35 properties, down from the 60 to 65 she listed during the mid-2000s. "You're always on, even if you're not always working. I'll go out with friends and they'll bitch about me answering the phone. I tell them, 'You don't get mad about it when I'm trying to sell your home.'"
Then she laughs that Sandy Gulick laugh, a throaty cackle that's infectious and fills the room like, well, the smell of freshly baked cookies.
Says Suchy of RE/MAX, who's known Gulick for years: "Being fun and maintaining your sense of humor goes a long way in the real-estate business."
The open house ends with Kentucky ahead by double-digits and Gulick out of cookies. She probably had 50 people walk through…on a UK basketball afternoon! Of course most of them came to visit with her.
A week later, she informs me that the young family returned for a second look. As of press time, the house hasn't sold. Yet.
Lilly's for lunch. 1 p.m. Gulick. Matilda Andrews, Gulick's "cousin-in-law." Me. A photographer, Natasha Sud, who, naturally, knows Gulick's daughter, Elizabeth (Lizzie). Louisville could really be the Two Degrees of Sandy Gulick.
The Gulick Network began in the early 1980s, when she found herself divorced with two small children and trying to get by on a bookkeeper's wage. "I had been raised to be married and not have to work," says Gulick, who was born in Shanghai, China, but grew up in Louisville. "Then I thought, what if I don't get married again? I don't want to be poor my whole life."
So she did something you really don't think people ever actually do — she took a vocation test. The results told Margaret Sandal Honeycutt Gulick that she should be 1) a real-estate agent, 2) a public official, or 3) an IRS agent.
Seriously? That's how it started?
Yep. And then the Gulick connections kicked in. Her first sale was to a good friend. When Gulick objected that she was too new to the business, her friend replied, "How hard can it be?"
Gulick sold her friend the first house they looked at together on Franck Avenue in Crescent Hill. The friend still lives there. A few days after that sale, Gulick picked up the phone and the person on the other line said, "I understand you're an agent." Yes, Gulick tentatively replied. A month later, she and the caller closed on a $1 million home.
"That test was right," Gulick says now over lunch. "I told myself at the time that if I don't make any money in two months, I'd get another job. But I sold."
She started at the now-defunct Home Store, then was recruited by John Stough to join Semonin Realtors — then and now home to the largest number of agents (some 450) in the city — where she stayed for 17 years. Eight years ago, Stough, Gulick and several others from Semonin broke out on their own, starting Kentucky Select in July 2004.
"Women are more patient than men," Gulick says. Between bites of red fish, I've asked why so many more women seem to be in real estate these days. She turns to Andrews: "Can I say that for print in Louisville Magazine?"
"You've never not said what you wanted to," Andrews replies.
"We're creative problem-solvers," Gulick continues. "I always think things will work out for the best. I'm filled with platitudes. But, honey, I was living on $8,000 a year at one point. I can say anything."
Lunch is going on two hours and three courses and it feels more like five minutes. But there are houses to see.
We stop first at a modest craftsman on Ransdell Avenue in the Cherokee Triangle, one of Gulick's main sales stomping grounds. She's sold so many properties on Ransdell that she's lost count, including two houses she owned herself. She's now in her third house on Ransdell, living next door to a house she used to own. And next door to another house she just sold. And across the street from two more she sold.
The property we're now seeing sits opposite the house where Hunter S. Thompson grew up and, the story goes, blasted a shotgun hole in the roof. The listing came via recommendation. As Gulick puts it, "If somebody is happy with you, they tell their friends. If somebody is not happy with you, they also tell their friends."
Next stop: Sandy's place. It's a small white-brick bungalow with black shutters and a black iron fence around the front yard — a safe area for her 22-month-old grandson, Lizzie's son Solomon, who calls his grandmother "Googie."
"I've moved eight or nine times," Gulick says. "I love to buy duds, houses that need work."
She renovated her current address — her "feel-good house" — tearing down walls and shrinking (yes, shrinking) the kitchen and painting the walls an outgoing yellow called "golden laughter."
Gulick takes a seat on a chaise lounge in the open den, posing for photographs, answering questions, checking her Blackberry, talking art like a gallery owner.
Her golden-laughter walls are camouflaged with original works from her favorite artists — Tatjana Krizmanic; Crescent Hill mailman-turned-painter Steve Cull; daughter Lizzie's felt work; Solomon's Pollock-esque crayon scribblings; Carolyn Gassan Plochmann … . ("Brenda Deemer of B. Deemer Gallery said, 'You'd buy anything with red in it,' and she's right!") "My house is the antithesis of what you're supposed to do if you want to sell your house," she says. "It's filled with personal stuff."
The day ends — for the photographer and me, not Sandy — at what's known as the White House of Louisville. It's the Highlands home of Dottie Cherry, widow of the Humana founder Wendell Cherry. And Gulick will be listing it soon. This is pure photo-op. Sandy Gulick in front of a mansion. She's sold houses that range in price from $41,000 to $4.7 million in her career; this one will fall closer to that high end.
She stands in front of the towering white Doric columns, holding keys in one hand, her phone up to her ear, whatever. Get a picture of her bling, she suggests. Or her freshly painted orange fingernails. ("It's called 'A Roll in the Hague.' Isn't that hysterical?")
Sandy Gulick has definitely come out of her shell.
"Honey," she tells the photographer, "if you give me a fistful of money, I'll hold that, too."

It all started with a regurgitated ear. As Hannibal proved again and again in its first season, it's more capable than almost any other TV show of taking horrifying, gruesome images and turning them into something beautiful and interesting. In the case of the ear, that stomach-turning moment became much more powerful when Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) was revealed to be using it (and a serious case of encephalitis) to frame FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) for the series of murders Hannibal committed over the course of the first season. Winter Preview: Get scoop on your favorite returning showsUnfortunately for Will, he put together the pieces too slowly and, in a great reversal from the Thomas Harris books and the films they inspired, took Hannibal's place on the other side of the prison bars at the Baltimore Hospital for the Criminally Insane. As Season 2 begins...read more
"I never feel guilty eating anything," purrs Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) as he serves up another portion of some erotically charged exotic delicacy. NBC's Hannibal (Friday, 10/9c), in its second season, is a feast of macabre freakishness, going beyond the realm of guilty pleasure in a sustained nightmare of horrific yet elegantly hypnotic design.
Hannibal is back for seconds this February!

Bodies are found and Dr Lector is called to the scene.
Dig into a delicious second helping of Pushing Daisies, the multiple Emmyr Award-winning series that USA Today's Robert Bianco calls, "a wholly original, rich-hued delight." In this season, Papen County's Pie-Maker with a witching finger for waking the dead and his alive-again love Chuck have more on the menu than a Terrifying Bee-Man and a Deep Fried Chicken Magnate. The secrets are served deep-dish when family skeletons -- both literal and figurative -- loom over the Pie Hole and its patrons. As jockey cum waitress Olive Snook joins a nunnery to mend her broken heart, the Pie-Maker who broke it hides Chuck from her Aunt Vivian and mother Lily, who believe she's dead. Naturally, this results in resurrecting Chuck's father, who actually was dead. Private Investigator Emerson Cod has daddy issues of his own when his baby-stealing baby-mama finds herself at the center of a damned dam murder case. This wondrous, witty and moving confection is as irresistible as the Pie-Maker's three-plum pie.
Will fights to prove his innocence in the Season 2 opener. Elsewhere, Alana deals with a strained relationship with Will, and the FBI pays Will a visit. Cynthia Nixon and Gillian Anderson guest star.
The cast of Hannibal talks about the themes, twists and dark irony of the season ahead.

"[Season 2] is not going to look like Father Knows Best. I don't think Deacon ever thought of himself as father material. We'll see him grapple with... whether or not he's right."

Science & Sandwiches Series
Our quarterly "Science & Sandwiches" program brings small, informal groups of scientists together with parents and individuals with autism to share ideas and, of course, to eat sandwiches. Scientists benefit from hearing about the day to day experiences of families, and families hear directly about the latest in autism research from the scientists themselves. From this dynamic combination, big new ideas are often born.
Learn more about our previous Science and Sandwiches Events:
Dr. Ami Klin Dr. Connie Kasari
Dr. Richard Grinker Paul Morris & Dr. Andres Martin
2012 Science & Sandwiches Events are scheduled to take place in Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

- Threatening to sink below $1,200 ounce after the strong ADP jobs report this morning, gold has staged a big reversal to $1,247. Below $19 earlier, silver has also come along for the ride, now at $19.72.
- The taper may be coming, but the SF Fed's John Williams is talking about raising the bar even further before the FOMC would consider hiking rates.
- The gold miners (GDX +3.7%) are the best performing sector in the market today.

- The "struggle for gold not only rests with the predominant selling interest among investors currently, but with limited positive catalysts looking forward, gold is unlikely to regain its former appeal," writes UBS, slashing its precious metals forecasts for 2014 - gold to $1,200 from $1,325 and silver to $21 from $24.
- With the downward momentum building, gold could test $1,050 an ounce - a level that might approach a "decent buying level," writes the team, but the path would be "very turbulent."
- Gold is flat in morning action at $1,223 after yesterday's plunge, while silver has given up a bit more ground, -0.5% to $19.93.

- November's PMI read of 57.3 is up from 56.4 last month, and the highest print this year. Leading is a 3 point gain in New Orders to 63.6 and a 2 point gain in Production to 62.8. Supplier Deliveries curiously fell 1.5 points to 53.2 (drones?).

- Already lower on the session, the fast print sends Treasurys down a bit further, and the 10-year yield up to 2.80%. TLT -0.6%, TBT +1.3%.
- The dollar (UUP +0.3%) gets a boost, trading at about a 2-year high vs. the loonie, and about to bust through to its highest since early 2009 against the yen.
- Gold and silver and to their losses, GLD -1.8%, SLV -2.3%.

- The benchmark rate for the $20T gold market has become the latest focus of regulator scrutiny, with the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority looking at how the "London fix" is set, Bloomberg reports.
- In a process that goes back to 1919, the rate is published twice a day following a telephone call between Barclays (BCS), Deutsche Bank (DB), Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS), HSBC (HSBC) and Societe Generale (SCGLY).
- The process can last up to over an hour, with participants being able to use the information from the call to trade gold and its derivatives while the discussion is taking place.
- "It's controlled by a handful of firms with a direct financial interest in where it's set, and there is virtually no oversight - and it's based on information exchanged among them during undisclosed calls," says Rosa Abrantes-Metz of New York University.

- Some gold miners (GDX, GDXJ) have returned to hedging to protect themselves against further drops in the price of the metal, several senior precious metals bankers tell FT.
- Although major gold miners have yet to return to the long-shunned practice, small and medium-sized gold companies are said to have rushed to hedge in recent months.
- The shift in philosophy reflects mining executives' fear that the past month's rebound in gold prices may be short-lived, as well as the recognition that more falls in prices could push them into losses.

- Down nearly 2% and flirting with falling below $1,300 per ounce, gold bounces to slightly in the green following the FOMC policy statement more concerned with slowing growth, rising interest rates, and slowing inflation than with tapering QE purchases.
- Silver reverses course as well.

Tuesday, Jul 232013, 3:11 PMGold (GLD +0.9%) continues its comeback tour, with a big move in the last 30 minutes pushing the metal into the green for the session and up to $1,344/ounce. Technician Mark Newton calls this bounce the beginning of a longer-term bottoming process, and sees the metal back at $1,500 before October. The miners (GDX +2.5%) also continue a big move, inducing the blow-up of another triple-leveraged ETF, the DUST (DUST -7.2%), now off about 60% in less than a month. |Tuesday, Jul 232013, 3:11 PM| 13 Comments
Wednesday, Jul 172013, 3:34 PMThe rationale for owning gold (GLD, IAU) hasn't gone away, John Paulson tells CNBC, reminding that his investors who bought into the metal when he first got bullish are way ahead. As for the metal's recent fast decline? Markets fluctuate, he says. "People who bought gold in anticipation of inflation have lost patience ... The consequences of printing money over time will be inflation." |Wednesday, Jul 172013, 3:34 PM| 3 Comments
Monday, Jul 152013, 11:13 AMThis just in: Gold had its biggest rally in nearly two years last week, gaining 5.4% to $1,278 per ounce. The move came as large speculators raised bullish bets 4.1%, according to CFTC data. Bernanke's dovish comments were a nice excuse to buy, but about a 30% decline in price this year may have been a better one. "Gold may have gotten oversold and was due for a bounce, but a bounce doesn't a bull market make." says equity trader John Goldsmith. GLD is flat, but the metal is up another 0.5% today to $1,284. |Monday, Jul 152013, 11:13 AM| 20 Comments
Thursday, Jul 112013, 8:46 AMGold's ahead 3% and Silver 5% following Bernanke's dovish remarks last night. GLD +2.9%, SLV +5.3% premarket. The devastated miners look to catch a big opening bounce as well, GDX +5.4%. Copper (JJC) +3.5%. |Thursday, Jul 112013, 8:46 AM| 9 Comments
Tuesday, Jul 92013, 8:29 AMGold hasn't been this deep in the buy zone since early 2005 as CFTC data show a massive exit of large speculator net long positions. What this says about the long-term trend is a question of debate, but it's probably not the worst short-run indicator. GLD +0.9% premarket, continuing a minor bounce since the metal fell below $1,200/ounce last week. |Tuesday, Jul 92013, 8:29 AM| 13 Comments
Monday, Jul 82013, 7:35 AMGold's correction may be about over, says Deutsche Bank, noting the metal is off more than 30% from its Sept. 2011 peak. This is significantly less than the declines from 1980-81, but interest rates then were 20% (with real rates rapidly rising as well). Tighter Fed policy ahead is still a headwind for gold, but could be priced in at this point. GLD +1% premarket. |Monday, Jul 82013, 7:35 AM| 2 Comments
Monday, Jul 12013, 3:39 PMEven after a lot of selling, the amount of gold remaining in ETFs suggests things could get a lot worse. This year's sales of 19M ounces is a 28M ounce swing from last year's gain of 9M ounces, or 870 metric tons - a significant amount compared to total demand of 4,360 tons. Gold ETFs still hold 65M ounces, leaving plenty to be potentially liquidated - consider the effect of gold ETF holdings returning to 2008's level of 30M ounces. The metal (GLD +1.8%) is enjoying a solid bounce today. |Monday, Jul 12013, 3:39 PM| 7 Comments
Friday, Jun 282013, 5:23 PMAfter recently saying the price is headed to $1K if $1.2K support is broken, Dennis Gartman says it's no longer time to be short gold. He thinks the yellow metal has probably "seen its worst" in the recent selloff in which the precious metal fell to its lowest level since 2010 to under $1.2K an ounce. "I'm not sure that I want to step up and buy," he adds, "but the time to be short of it is passed... it's time to go to the sidelines." (Video) |Friday, Jun 282013, 5:23 PM| 12 Comments

Cooke Not Suspended, Crosby Gear Found
It looks like regularly paying off Gary Bettman has once again helped the Penguins.
From TSN:
The Pittsburgh Penguins have been informed by the NHL that forward Matt Cooke will not be suspended for his hit on Boston's Marc Savard.
Savard suffered a grade-two concussion when Cooke levelled him with a shoulder to the head in open ice during a game on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
In explaining his decision, NHL senior vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said that the ruling was based on consistency involving similar incidents. Philadelphia's Mike Richards was not suspended for a similar hit on Florida's David Booth last October, so using that as precedent, Cooke was not suspended either.
Clearly, this is just another example in the long list of ways that the NHL favors the Penguins.
We figured we'd get that all out of the way before everyone else says the same thing.
The Penguins and Bruins meet in Boston on March 18th.
Kate Smith's Biggest Fan Unhappy With Us
One thing we like more than anything is hate mail.
We haven't got anything worth posting in a while.
Until over the weekend. An old friend came calling.
The Hindenburg you see above is the the beloved former national anthem singer of the Philadelphia Flyers.
Back in the '70s, Smith would sing "God Bless America" and then salute the crowd by eating a hamburger in one bite. She was like 82-0 or something as an anthem singer.
To sum it up, she was the equivalent of the way we feel about Jeff Jimmerson.
So, of course we've taken many shots at Kate Smith over the years.
And one guy in particular continues to be really upset about it.
His name is Fred Benson, and he went as far as to e-mail the head of Bloguin to complain about it last year. He has laid low, until all of a sudden:
Good times. WOW.
Go Pens.
Crosby/Letterman Speculation
To preface all of this, here was Letterman's "coverage" of the Olympic hockey.
Innocent enough.
He couldn't lose ratings to Leno right now if he tried.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't, though, if you're Sidney Crosby.
If he goes on, people complain that he's being shoved down their throat.
But he decides not to go on, and he gets blasted regardless.
Crosby was in town to play the Rangers shortly after the Olympics were over.
Seemed like the perfect storm for a Crosby appearance on Letterman's show.
He was invited to go read the Top Ten List.
We personally have no idea why he didn't go on.
And guess what.
Reputable media outlets reporting on the Crosby "snub" didn't know, either.
Because it didn't occur to them to even put in a request to the Penguins or Letterman's show to ask why.
Or if they did, they didn't acknowledge the fact in their write-ups.
So, either the Penguins, the PG, or Crosby's agent decided to take the initiative.
"His schedule was full," Crosby's agent, Pat Brisson, said Monday night.
The New York Post this week reported that NHL officials were "miffed" at the missed opportunity to have Crosby -- considered the face of the league -- make such an appearance on the heels of his winning goal for Canada in the Olympic gold-medal game.
"I talk to the league on a regular basis, and the league couldn't be more thrilled having Sidney Crosby do all the stuff he does," Brisson said.
NHL spokesman Frank Brown said the league is thrilled with Crosby's promotional efforts. " ... Sidney has been exceptional in giving his time," Brown said.
We wanted to get the skinny on this when that joke from the New York Post mentioned it a few days ago:
As Big Daddy Brooks points out, it's not the first time Sid snubbed Letterman.
And as mentioned in the PG above, even Crosby's agent doesn't recall this phantom "Today" request.
Gotta give Big Daddy Brooks a break, though.
His vaj was still hurting from the Pens beating the Rangers.
Had to direct that angst somewhere.
After the jump, we break down some things about this Letterman crap.
Home Cookein'. PENS WIN.
Let's get it out there right now.
We don't feel bad about the Marc Savard hit.
We don't care about the Marc Savard hit.
You know why? Because we can see into the future. It comes with the territory of being part of the fanbase of the World Champs: The time will come when a Penguin is the victim of this type of hit, and whoever made the hit would be championed all across the Internet. We wake up every day preparing for that.
It was kind of sad on Sunday night reading stuff about the hit as we were making our rounds on the Internet. 95% of the coverage is coming from people who haven't watched more than 3 entire Pens games this season. They watch "NHL ON THE FLY" while looking at a box score and think they have a grasp on what the Penguins are all about.
Any Pens fan reading this right now has more than likely watched every game Matt Cooke has played as a Penguin. He plays the game on the edge, no question about that. But is he dirty? Nah. If we noticed him cruising around looking for cheapshots every game, we'd be the first people to mention it and make a photoshop about it. Bloggers everywhere will try to astonish you with stories of rituals and dazzle you with official-sounding terms like "repeat offender" and "code red." They might even cut into a few third-line grinders for you. But there's nothing else to talk about on their clichéd soapbox.
But this was a headshot. No doubt about it whatsoever.
It sucks to see hits like this take a player out; for any player to get injured, period.
(Pay no attention to fans from other cities wishing for Crosby to tear his ACL.)
Headshots have no place in the game.
But you know who else doesn't have a place in the game?
Matt Cooke...if he doesn't attempt a hit on Savard here.
There is a fevered competition on the Penguins' bottom two lines that has just kicked into high gear.
And Matt Cooke doesn't really light the lamp. He's on the team for a specific reason.
If he shirks away from delivering a hit, it is noticed in the film room.
Some thoughts:
1. -- Cooke is bearing down on Savard. Savard is taking the shot. By no means are we blaming Savard, but how can you expect any player in Matt Cooke's position to stop. What is Matt Cooke supposed to do? It's clear to anyone watching the video that Matt Cooke was preparing to hit Savard before Savard put himself into a vulnerable position.
2. -- People are quick to compare this to the Mike Richards hit on David Booth.
The Richards hit was 150% more brutal than this one.
Dirty, vicious elbow by Matt Cooke on Marc Savard to his blind side after he shot a puck at the Pittsburgh net. Just no regard for the health and well-being of another player right there. Replays showed Cooke lowered an elbow that smashed directly into Savard's head when he had his head turned away from the Penguins forward. The elbow knocked Savard right down to the ice. Savard was down for 10 minutes and trainers had to take the playmaking center off on a stretcher. Somehow there wasn't a penalty called on the play, but there's no way Cooke gets off without a lengthy suspension. That is the kind of play that the NHL is trying to rid their sport of, and it's yet another injury that the B's can't afford.
4. -- If you're coming here looking for us to wag the finger at Matt Cooke, sorry, you've got the wrong place. As we mentioned before, a player putting a hit like this on a Penguin, be it Crosby or Malkin, would have YouTube tribute videos made about him, all the while people would call Crosby a pussy or something.
But Karma makes its own rules.
Will Boston upset Pittsburgh in a first-round playoff matchup?
If the Hockey Gods are upset, we'll eventually know about it.
You think the Bruins are going to play a clean game on March 18th when the Pens play in Boston? They'll jump Cooke, and the Pens will go on the powerplay. It will be 3-0 before fat-ass Tim Thomas can muster up the fortitude to complain. Thanks for the 2 points in advance.
Cooke will probably get suspended 5-10 games.
Good. Rest up for the playoffs.
It gives a chance for Disco to juggle some lines and shit.
And this whole incident was a shame because it took away from a well played game. Playoff-like pace.
Pens could have won 10-1.
The Pens Magic Number.
The number of points they need to clinch a playoff berth.
Look at the standings.
Imagine every team wins the rest of their games.
wsh -- 130
pens -- 116
buf -- 115
njd -- 115
ott -- 109
phi -- 108
bos -- 105
atl -- 102
9th -- tb -- 101
10th -- mtl -- 100
pens -- 116
buf -- 115
njd -- 115
ott -- 109
phi -- 108
bos -- 105
atl -- 102
9th -- tb -- 101
10th -- mtl -- 100
Quick math says Tampa Bay's potential point total would be 101.
It would be the 9th-highest total in the Conference.
Finishing ahead of the 9th place team means you make the playoffs.
Don't worry about the Pens tying the 8th seed.
Pens already occupy one of the 8 spots, so it's moot.
The Pens sitting with 84 points means they only need 18 more points to reach 102 points.
There's tiebreaking scenarios we don't feel like getting into.
So let's just be safe and forecast it as 1 point above the 9th seed.
And the Devils lost.
The Devils have 2 games in hand on the Pens but are 5 points back.
Pens are finally atop the Atlantic Division.
Mellon Arena
Listen to the game at [WXDX]
Know the Enemy:
In honor of game 66 being against the Bruins:
Flipping The Switch. PENS WIN
Here we go.
The annual March craziness. 3-0 in March.
4-game winning streak stretching back to pre-Olympics.
But another streak was snapped.
Malkin's point streak ends at 15 games.
That's bad for Malkin, but good news for the Penguins.
The more goals they score without Malkin and Sid involved, the better.
And that isn't to say Crosby wasn't involved in this one.
2 goals, 1 assist.
But the only thing we care about is the Poni Express getting on the board. Poni's importance to the Pens is going to be paramount, and he got off to a solid start. Very impressed by him in his own zone.
Pens hosting the Bruins on Sunday.
We refuse to talk about the Penguins being atop the Atlantic.
Still waiting for the Devils to catch up in games-played.
Stunnedqvist Part II. PENS WIN.
55 shots? Jesus. Franchise record.
And that's with the Pens missing TWO of their top-6 forwards.
[Huge thanks to Bobby T for the video.
How about that dude walking out as the video starts.]
Doesn't matter how many times you see it, watching the Pens win a game in OT will never get old. Especially a hard-fought game against a dirtbag Rangers team that doesn't even belong on the same ice as the world champs.
Not sure if it is just the post-deadline hype lingering or the fact that we all know the playoffs are coming, but we're finally exhaling this bated breath we've held in all season. We aren't getting spoiled and only getting pumped about the Pens once the calendar turns to March, but there seems to be a hop in Pens fans' steps recently. A two-goal comeback in MSG only takes that to another level.
This game should not have been close.
MAF gave up four goals on 12 shots?
After that, the Rangers got 4 shots.
We read somewhere that Johnson's 4-save masterpiece was one of the lowest save totals for a winning goalie in a long-ass time. Wish we had more resources than Google for that. We refuse to look into using Elias Stats Bureau, 'cause we hate Patrick Elias.
Malkin had unlimited shots. Malkin has 15-game point streak. Rob Rossi sucks.
Jordan Staal has offically launched into "awwww shit" mode.
The Pens' last three March records have been insane, and they are already off to a good start.
Big time weekend ahead.
The Poni Express will be arriving at Steel Plaza at 1:00pm tomorrow.
Speaking of Poni, check out how the Pens are welcoming him to town:

That's pure class.
You see that, and you're ready to run through a wall.
There was a billboard for Leopold, too.
And apparently A.O. has graduated from pushing camera-wielding women to shooting people.
Never mind. It wasn't him. Caps won last night.
