Modelling and Forecasting Oil Prices: The Role of Asymmetric Cycles
AbstractWe propose a new time series model aimed at forecasting crude oil prices. The proposed specification is an unobserved components model with an asymmetric cyclical component. The asymmetric cycle is defined as a sine-cosine wave where the frequency of the cycle depends on past oil price observations. We show that oil price forecasts improve significantly when this asymmetry is explicitly modelled.

STOCKTON - A Lodi man accused of causing a tragic car crash that killed six members of a family, including an unborn child, entered a plea of not guilty in San Joaquin County Superior Court on Monday. A preliminary hearing was set to begin April 1.
Ryan Morales, 28, represented by Deputy Public Defender Sam Behar, appeared in court for the short scheduling conference.
Behar said he expected the preliminary hearing to last two or three days. In such hearings, prosecutors must convince a judge there is enough evidence to proceed to jury trial.
Deputy District Attorney Steve Hihn refused comment.
Morales is accused of driving a GMC Yukon at what officials described as "freeway speeds" on Ham Lane near Vine Street in Lodi on Oct. 22 when he crashed into a pickup occupied by Luis Miranda Ochoa, 32; Viviana Rodriguez Salgado, 31, who was pregnant with a boy; Irvin Miranda, 12; Jose Luis Miranda Rodriguez, 6; and Stephanie Miranda, 5, who all died. It also held Eden Miranda, 9, who survived. The posted speed limit is 40 mph.
Morales faces a dozen charges, including murder and DUI. Court documents show that police allege he had been drinking apple-flavored vodka with his father before getting behind the wheel of the SUV.
A preliminary analysis showed he tested at 21/2 times the state's 0.08 percent blood-alcohol limit for driving. Witnesses told police they saw Morales talking on his cellphone as he sped through the intersection.
Lodi Police Chief Mark Helms called a news conference one week after the crash in coordination with the California Highway Patrol and the District Attorney's Office to announce that authorities would seek a murder charge. Morales, they said, acted with "a complete disregard for human life."
The deadly crash shook the Lodi community, which banded together in the following days and weeks to raise money for Eden Miranda through various fundraisers, blood drives and contributions to a trust fund.
Eden has been home-schooled with assignments from Heritage Elementary in Lodi while he recovers from his injuries.

Hi All,Sorry if this is ridiculously noob, but I am just that!I have a D40 and I thought Id play with some of the older lenses available on Ebay. I bought one and when I attach it to the d40 the aperture locks totally open with me not able to change it using the aperture ring.Am i being stupid? Is there something I need to do be able to adjust the F number?Sorry again if its me being an idiot.ThanksMike
That's the way it is supposed to be. The aperture stays wide open, but closes down to the set aperture when the shutter is released. (Stop the lens down a bit, look into the lens, and release the shutter; you'll see the aperture close down.) You'll have to use manual exposure mode and check the histogram to get the exposure right, i.e. no metering with this lens.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
Thanks Alan, I told you it was me being stupid!Im loving the lens, the pictures are great!

Now sit back relax grab your snacks because here comes my saga with the chevy dealership.
Last Tuesday, while waiting for Maria's (daughter) car to get serviced and inspected, we decided to prowl the lot. We happened upon a nice looking chevy uplander minivan. I drove it--it drove and sounded very good. Inside was in good condition and the tires were good. I wanted Roger (Maria's husband and a mechanic) to see, drive, and listen to it before I decided. The salesman got a little pushy at that point which was beginning to make me uncomfortable. The main problem with the van was a cracked windshield. The crack was across the whole windshield and in the line of vision. He said that if I wanted the van I would have to fix the windshield. This made me even more uncomfortable. We were supposed to go back Friday for Roger to see the van. The three of us did not feel well so we didn't go. I called the dealership on Tuesday to tell them we would be there Wednesday. Well, it took several minutes for them to even answer the phone, then I got put on hold. While on hold, I heard several clicks in the phone like they were transferring me around then after being on hold for 7 or 8 minutes I was disconnected. By this time I'm fuming. I called back and told the lady to never mind that if this was the kind of treatment I was getting I didn't want the car. She immediately got the manager on the phone--I told I was angry and if I sounded rude then I will apologise ahead of time. He asked what was wrong so I told him about the windshield. I said I didn't feel that I should have to pay to fix it on a car I bought form them. He said they would fix it. I asked if there was a spare tire--he said he would make sure there was one. I gave him a couple of other demands and he agreed to all of them. I told him we would be there Wednesday (the next day) between 10:30 and 11 AM.
When we arrived yesterday, the salesman left us standing in the show room while he spent 20 minutes running around the lot in a golf cart looking for the van---it was gone. They had hauled it to auction after I called them. Then he spent another 20 minutes looking for another van to show me. I took one look at it and told him I didn't want it. He asked why--it had leather seats. I have a dog with nails. Then he said we can put cloth seat covers on it for you. I promptly and emphatically (a little miffed) told that if I had wanted cloth seat covers I could go to Walmart and buy them. Then he said we can put cloth seats in it for you. First he told us the van was driven by a little old lady and the back seat had never been sat on. I said --sure I really believe that---the van was a 2002 with 100,000 miles on it. Then he said well the seat hasn't been used more than 5 or 6 times.
To top things off--he blatantly denied telling me I would have to pay for the windshield on the other van. He had said this in front of my daughter. We both jumped on him and said you most certainly did--he kept denying that he had said this. By the way he said several times they could get the van back from auction.
WE left....needless to say I am done with this dealership...
Now that I've written a book--here's my good news---I was down 4 pounds at TOPS weigh in this morning---nearly all the fluid weight I was up last week...and I won the weekly fruit basket for losing the most weight for the week
Are you bored yet????
Praise the Lord for spell check---5 spelling errors....LOL
I feel that I am off to a good start on my goals, of course weigh in on Thursday will tell the real story.
I did well eating at the buffet today---only took small bites of items, ate slow, and got full. Drank lots of water too. For supper, I made whole wheat spaghetti with ground turkey and green beans.
Progress report will be either Thursday afternoon or Friday.
We have been gifted with another beautiful day.
As I suspected, my weight gain was fluid. I poured down the water yesterday and am down 4 pounds this morning.
Sunday October 2, will be the beginning of my October goals. I thought Sunday was a good day to start since it is the beginning of the week.
Boy did God even know what He was doing when He placed the October goals on my mind!!!!
My weight went up 4.6 pounds in ONE week.......UGH!!!!!
I am not swollen a lot. I am very stiff and slightly puffy with sluggish movements.
I did eat quite a bit of pumpkin bread---which is all gone now and I won't be making more for quite a while---maybe November as a reward for reaching my goals. I love pumpkin bread and don't use good sense when I have it in the house. The same with other quick breads.
My new goals will begin Sunday so I have a couple of days to see if this is water weight (which I think it is) and comes off like it went on. I do swell up quickly.
Also, I ate out 3 times last week. I thought I was watching what I ate fairly well---I guess not. I did have grilled chicken from KFC on Tuesday which may be the cause of my gain. I only ate one piece (1/2 a breast) that didn't have skin on it and 2 sections of a wing.
Here we are closing in on the end of September. Have you met your goals for Sept? Did you set goals for Sept? Have you made October goals? One pound per week will mean that 10 to 12 pounds will be gone by Christmas---now wouldn't that be grand?
I have not displaced the 5 pounds that was my goal for Sept. I did dispose of 2 pounds for the month and 1 inch off my hips and waist.
My October goal is 8 pounds---5 for October and 3 from September. This is a long reaching goal that I am going to set my mind to work towards.
I am eating better and still should decrease the size of my portions. I eat a lot of vegetables but one can have too large of a portion of even the good stuff. This is my main problem---too large of a portion. If one peach or apple is good then 2,3 or 4 is even better---right???? NOT!!!
My October goals:
1.. down 8 pounds by Oct. 31
2. proper portion sizes
3. walk outside (as long as the weather holds) 20 to 30 minutes 5 of 7 days
These will be achieved by:
1. posting my official TOPS weight every Thursday and measure waist and hips Oct. 6 & 20 and post results
2. blog each Friday or Monday about progress and/or problems
3. get DJ into the habit of going for a walk so he will bug me until I take him ---he can be quite persistent....malamutes are stubborn dogs

Author Archives: Trade Man
Leafs to make McCabe Last offer.
The Leafs will make one last offer to Brian McCabe worth 5.5 million per season (4 years)
If McCabe does reject this offer, I am told he will be traded by the deadline.
What JFJ should do!
First of all, dont count the Leafs out of the playoffs yet. They need to trim the fat. Ship players to playoff bound teams looking for depth. Move Allison, Berg, Belak, Khavanov, Klee, Czerkawski, all for draft picks before they go as free agents next season. Trade Antropov and Stajan to Chicago for Arnason and Bell. Bring up the youngsters on defence (they cant do any worse than the veterans). Sink or swim with this team until next season.
Possibility of making the playoffs…
The canucks playoff hopes may have just been crushed today. Making a bad day worse, on the day Canada was eliminated, Ohlund got driven into the boards against the Swiss and may have broken ribs or maybe a shoulder too. Salo was also injured today, with what is suspected to be a "severly dislocated shoulder."
What The Leafs Should Do Wheather JFJ Likes It Or Not?
Let's be realistic the leafs are not going to win the cup, so why should they give up so much future for a player that will only get them into game 7 or round 1? Oneill, Lindros, Czerkawski are the only players on this team that if they are not playing with sundin do not fit anywhere else. Of all 3 czerkawski is the fastest, probably the only one with speed, he has the fastest slapshot of all 3 and more accurate. Lindros is the biggest and can through some pretty big hits that can change the momentum of a game. Oneill, no speed, no hard hits, and not that good along the boards, the only reason he has 15 goals is because he is playing with sundin, which is why sundin needs someone better.
Who Will Go Where:Part 2?
There are still many players availible which I haven't listed in my previous article. Well here they
Who Will Go Where?
The March 9th trade deadline is on the horizon and
who will be availible by that date? I have compiled a
list on who is availible:
No More World Cup Of Hockey?
The world's best hockey players may not compete again until 2010 in Vancouver since there are no plans to hold a World Cup Of Hockey in 2008.
Leafs Deadline Shopping List
The Toronto Maple Leafs are currently seeded in
ninth place in the Eastern Conference. They are only one point behind the Montreal Canadians for the eight and final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
I have compiled a list of the Leafs' meeds and will say who is availible.
Western Conference Playoffs
With many of us missing Nhl hockey and want the olympics to be over, heres a little something to think on. I already hit the Eastern Conference playoff teams, now its time for me to be fair and take up the west side.
Who is going make the playoffs?
Well with all the deals that are going to happen after the deadline, we have to wonder, who is going to be in the playoffs come April.
Leafs to pick first overall?
A rumor circulating according to hockeybuzz.com, and insider-rumors.blogspot.com, is saying that Chicago is offering up Tuumu Ruutu and there first round pick.
In Defence of Bryan McCabe
The crticisms of defencemen Bryan McCabe seem to be a bit excessive and at times unwarranted.
I am not sure if it has to do with the sweater he wears or what but there are alot of things that people do not like about McCabe.
Hasek & Elias Done At the Olympics
Czech Republic star goalie Dominik Hasek is out of the Olympics with an injury that occurred minutes into his first game in Torino. Hasek originally said it was a hamstring injury. But Czech backup goalie Tomas Vokoun later said Hasek told him it was a groin injury.
Russia heads to Turin hoping to build off of their Bronze medal performance in Salt Lake City in 2002. The Russians have a fair bit of experience coming into this tournament, including eleven returning players from their Bronze medal squad. That being said there are some questions heading into this tournament. Many of them centre around whether or not the more experience Russian players will be apt to the challenges of the larger ice surface.
Veteran Swedish players are returning to this tournament on a mission. The image of Tommy Salo taking a Belarus shot off the head and bouncing in is still fresh in the minds of many Swedes. And this time around the questions are still much the same; will the goaltending be able to hold in Turin?
How far is too far?
Each and everyone of us whether it was on a wood floor, a sheet of ice, a grass field, or a slab of concrete still has a love for whichever sport we grew up playing. Over the past two months, something interesting has caught my eye on the athletic playing field. A professional basketball player drops 81 points, a women's hockey team scores 16 goals in a shutout, and a high school athlete scores a record breaking 113 points. I will also show my own personal experiences playing high school hockey in New Jersey. One highly debatable question remains: How much scoring do we allow before a coach/team/player should be held accountable for it?
What Toronto should do…
First of all, I would like to give a shout out to nordiques100 for a very well written article on the state of the Maple Leafs and the MLSE. As passionate Leaf fans, we hold them in the highest desideratum, and sometimes it peaks our interest to fantasize about players coming to our team to bring the one thing that has been missing for the last 39 years….the Stanley Cup. They are going through what is commonly referred to as a slump, but that is no reason to excoriate them, this happens with all teams, at some point, around the league. It has been close to a decade since Toronto has failed to make the playoffs but I think it may be time to be capricious, to change our game plan so to speak.
Forsberg To Skate Friday
TURIN, Italy (AP) – Sweden star Peter Forsberg will test his strained left groin in practice Friday and expects to learn if he can play in the Olympics.
I turn in my Leaf fan club badge!
The Maple Leafs are done, and someone needs to fire JFJ and Pat Quinn, don't change many of the players, but management needs to clean house.

Lewers Lounge
Lewers Lounge Review
A great spot for predinner drinks or post-sunset cocktails, Lewers Lounge offers a relaxed but chic atmosphere in the middle of Waikiki. There are classic and contemporary cocktails; the bar is helmed by Colin Field, known as one of the best bartenders in the industry; he has created several digestifs exclusively for Halekulani. He's also ditched the soda guns and mixes and brought back the craft of cocktails, using fresh and natural ingredients. Some standouts include the ginger lychee caipirissima and the blackberry julep. Enjoy your libation with live jazz and tempting desserts, such as the hotel's famous coconut cake. Or just sit back and relax in the grand setting of the luxurious lounge, which is decked in dramatic drapes and cozy banquettes.

On the Use of Expectations Data in Estimating Structural Dynamic Choice Models
AbstractDespite the importance of expectations in models of decision behavior under uncertainty, few empirical economists have made use of subjective expectations data in estimating such models. Assuming that expectations about future behavior accurately portray optimal future behavior conditional on current information, it is shown that such data can provide similar information about the decision process as can data on current or retrospective behavior. The value of self-reported choice expectations is illustrated by using information on respondents' expected future occupation in the estimation of a structural dynamic model of teacher career decisions under uncertainty.

9:00am Friday 17th February 2012
By Amanda Williams
FROM bruises and broken bones to life saving treatment, Oxford Children's Hospital has picked up the county's children every time they have fallen for the past five years.
Now, as it celebrates its birthday, the hospital would like to thank YOU for the unfailing support which has helped it improve the lives of about 400,000 patients since it opened.
The doors to Oxford Children's Hospital – known as Chox – opened in 2007, with the first young patients moving in over the third weekend of February.
In that time £500,000 of your money raised by table top sales, abseils and the Oxford Mail-sponsored OX5 Run, has helped transform lives.
Ward assistants Kate Barber and Theresa King, who moved with the hospital from the much-loved, but slightly rundown, wards of the Old Radcliffe Infirmary, to the bright, spacious and colourful wards of the new hospital, are today among those thanking the public for its selfless help.
Ms King said: "We would all just like to say thank you very much. Without your help we wouldn't have this wonderful hospital here today."
More than £15m was raised to help build Chox, in a campaign backed by the Oxford Mail, with £3.2m coming straight from the efforts of the community, allowing classrooms, indoor and outdoor play areas, and family areas and such as parent beds to be included in the design.
All of these things go over and above what the NHS offers as standard.
But the hospital still needs your help.
Hospital fundraiser Penny Hambridge said: "It's incredible to think that this wonderful hospital is already five years old and important to remember that without the help of the local community we simply wouldn't have been able to build it.
"The public's support remains vital today as we continue to need to raise funds to provide the very latest medical equipment and the very best play, sensory and distraction items for all the children treated here – from the tiniest of newborns through to teenagers.
"Every year thousands of local people get involved with fundraising for hospital, from fun runs to abseils, cake sales to golf days – the enthusiasm of the hospital's supporters is continually inspiring and we are so grateful for what they all do."
Head of Major Gifts Andrew House added: "To mark the fifth birthday of the hospital we are encouraging people to become regular donors to the hospital charity as this will help us to continue to make it as comfortable and well equipped as possible for our young patients.
"Some of the equipment we have been able to provide is quite simply life-saving, and many other items make a child's time in hospital a more positive experience."
If 500 people donated £5 a month over the next five years that would raise nearly £200,000.
And if 500 people donated £20 a month over five years nearly £800,000 would be collected.

IN 2007 teenager Luke Dickety was among the first young patients through the doors of Oxford Children's Hospital.
At the tender age of 12 he had already been receiving treatment for a life-threatening tumour in his head for three years.
Now, after countless operations and overnight stays, Luke, 17, can wish the hospital which has put him back on the road to health a happy birthday.
Luke, from Bicester, said: "Without any one of the people who has been involved in my care, there is a chance I could not be here. It's a scary thought.
I'd like to say thank you both to the staff, and to the people who have raised the money who make the stay there better."
His mother Carol Mackay added: "Thank you is the only thing you can say really.
"What else can you say to the people that have saved your child's life."
Last year, Luke presented fireman Gary Crone with the winner's trophy at the Oxford Mail OX5 Run.
FORMER news TV presenter Katie Ledger, from Chalgrove, has been taking son Max to Oxford Children's Hospital hospital for two-and-a-half years.
The seven-year-old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) when he was four and in that time the Great Milton School pupil has undergone regular treatment.
Mother-of-two Ms Ledger said: "When we were told Max had leukaemia life just kind of stood still.
"But it helps to speak to other parents who are going through the same things, and to put your own situation into perspective.
"I challenge anyone who has spent any time in Kamran's Ward, which is the cancer ward at the hospital, to not leave a changed person."
Max is coming to the end of his treatment and is due to leave the care of the hospital in November.
Ms Ledger said: "I really know what difference donations can make.
"Everything at the hospital is designed around the needs of children and there are fantastic facilities which really help when you are going through such a difficult time."

Columbia, SC — The state Department of Social Services and Director Lillian Koller have taken some heat about not caring for children. My experience has been just the opposite. I have worked closely with Director Koller and DSS staff on initiatives impacting tens of thousands of at-risk youth. I also have worked with DSS as a guardian ad litem youth advocate ensuring the safety of youth in crisis.
Boys & Girls Clubs across the state work with DSS to provide services that will help some of our state's most needy children succeed today and be better prepared for success tomorrow. Together we have provided more than 16,000 youth with high-quality after-school care and summer-care programs, more than 11,000 youth with services to prevent teen pregnancy, and more than 100 young adults with on-the-job training and career-exploration services.
I have found Director Koller and her staff to be diligent, caring, passionate and resourceful in protecting our state's most precious resource, our children.
