Mr. Lamppost, It's pretty hard to keep up with these kinds of things while taking care of my two children and trying to bring them up in an environment where they are in debt before they are even school!
It is clear now that someone needs to keep tabs here because our people in office are not!
Thank you for the information, I will be looking at the resources you provided.September 13, 2010 at 9:21 p.m.
Mr. RobertTX, I highly doubt that the gangs are playing golf! Why would there be gangs on the golf course?
Maybe you have turned a blind eye to all the gang spray paint, but, I have no problems seeing it, and I for one don't want my kids exposed to that!
Mr. Williams, thank you for your wonderful statements! Finally someone out there is saying what I have been thinking! I for one don't want to saddle my children with debts they will never be able to repay! I thought all this debt spending was happening in congress, but I guess the all these elected people are the same. Just spend all my hard earned money, and saddle my kids with debt!September 13, 2010 at 8 p.m.
There is one amendment to this budget that could be made and solve several issues.
Cut the funding for the splash pad and save $500K for the state (which is facing multi-billion dollar shortfalls) and save $500K this year and $50K to $100K for every year here on out in maintenance for the taxpayers of Victoria.
Take $180K of this and build the fire training facility that is desperately needed, use another $160K to reduce the tax rate back to the current .645 and put another $160K in "savings" or what is know as fund balance. (Actually $320K would go to fund balance if council did not find another way to spend this money or the tax rate could be cut from .65 to .64)
I still can't believe police personnel funding is being reduced below budgeted amount for the current year but that is what has happened. I think we need to hire more police officers to deal with the level of crime in the city and we need to do more to retain the ones we do have. This also applies to our fire fighters/EMS. We need to be working to adjust wages/benefits & working conditions to where we retain a higher percentage of our trained people and not loose them to other cities that pay a better wage.
I think the problem is we have several on council who are more concerned with leaving their "legacy" then with making tough decisions required to fund the essentials.
I also wonder why the initial budget presented, and approved, on Sept. 7th was amended just 2 days later with hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional expenditures? I have not had time to view the meeting if full, does anyone know what the additional expenditures are for? I caught just part of the meeting
and thought I heard $350K for fire fighter training. Why would this level of training not be included in the initial budget but amended after-the-fact? Is this to cover for some other issue that has not been revealed to the public?
Taxpayers of Victoria you should prepare yourself for what is happening in the upcoming years. By 2018 the amount of debt paid each year will be twice what it was just several years ago (before we began legacy building), 25% more then what is in the current proposed budget. With debt payments increasing by another 25% in 6 years there is only 2 ways to pay it. Either the tax base will increase or the tax rate will go up to cover the shortfall of increase in the base. If the numbers I have heard are correct we will need another half billion dollars in additional tax base in the next 6 years just to maintain the debt portion of the current tax rate. All taxpayers are being left with a legacy, pay me know and pay me later.September 13, 2010 at 4:06 p.m.
ive spent many, many mornings / afternoons / evenings at riverside park and can't ever remember seeing 'gangs' roaming the park.
what i have seen, is many people using the jogging / walking trail, many people using the playgrounds and bbq'n, many people enjoying the duck pond (past due for a sprucing up), many people enjoying baseball games at rosebud and many people enjoying the golf course.
maybe all these years ive been playing golf with gang members and had no clue ?September 13, 2010 at 3:20 p.m.
Those waterparks are dangerous. Someone could drown.September 13, 2010 at 2:54 p.m.
AtHomeCEO. I think maybe if the city payed more attention to the salary of the police instead of lining the pockets of the local politicians this would not be a concern. Victoria ranks very low in police and firefighter wages.September 13, 2010 at 2:26 p.m.
Airline Splash Pad? When is that happening? Why is there no information out there about this?
I tell you what, I wouldnt take my kids there! How long before this thing gets taken over by the gangs just like Riverside Park and Ethel Lee Tracy Park?September 13, 2010 at 1:35 p.m.
Look for the "pork" in the budget - there is always some more. Prioritize needs vs. wants.
How much would be saved by closing all non-emergency offices 2 hours early on Fridays?
It would reduce numerous costs: utilities, maintenanace, labor and associated burdens.
In the long run it could save jobs as well.
I'm sure everyone would rather loose a couple hours pay a week versus loosing their job.
It works.September 13, 2010 at 12:54 p.m.
The private sector has had to make adjustments - so can government and municipalities.
One of my friends told me I should look at the online postings here. She told me that there were more people that felt the same way I did about my taxes! I cant believe that they are going to raise our taxes again! It just makes me sick!September 13, 2010 at 11:28 a.m.
City Manager Charles Windwehen said another factor is the change in appraised values. Half of the appraised values went down, 16 percent remained unchanged and 34 percent went up.
So is the town council suggesting that appraisals go up every year so they can have their fat for the pet projects they each seem to have? BS!September 13, 2010 at 8:49 a.m.
I WILL vote for David Hagan in the next election.September 13, 2010 at 7:06 a.m.
I'm not so sure about the rest of them.

How Hospitals Can Save Water and Big Bucks Too
It may seem odd that a leading proponent for water conservation in hospitals works in Washington, a state famous for its prodigious rainfall.
For more than a decade, Geoffrey W. Glass, director of Facility and Technology Services at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia, has been finding ways to dramatically cut water use and waste. Through simple, economical, and incremental steps, the water conservation program has saved the 390-bed hospital at least $250,000 a year.
"We pay a penny a gallon to purchase water and to dispose of it, so we use the mantra that every gallon of water we see going down the drain is a penny of cost," Glass tells HealthLeaders Media.
"When we started this campaign we were consuming about 62,203,000 gallons of water a year in 1999. We consumed 31,188,000 gallons in 2010 gallons. That is just straight utility consumption, even though in the last decade our campus has grown about 15%."
At Providence St. Peter, Glass says, water is a precious resource both from an economic and an environmental perspective. "We are blessed to have probably the most sustainable supply of water in the United States. But we have other problems. For example all of our wastewater goes into Puget Sound, and as such it's challenging when we introduce pollutants and it's difficult to flush them out," he says. "In addition, through federal mandates the requirements to treat sewer water have generated huge costs. We have been seeing 10% to 15% rate increases for the last decade, to where our sewage costs have doubled in 10 years."

Corona Centennial's Sami Logan has been making headlines recently for her exploits as a reserve quarterback on the school's football team coached by her father, Matt.
Tonight, Logan will be a guest of Fred Roggin on "The Challenge," which will air after NBC's" Sunday Night Football" game between the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans.
Sami, a senior basketball star who is will with Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday, has appeared in three games this season. She completed an 18-yard pass to Jordan Dye three weeks ago against Eastvale Roosevelt, a moment that served as a tribute to each player's mother who lost fights to breast cancer in recent years.
This past Friday night, Sami completed a 24-yard pass to Dye during the second half of Centennial's 47-21 playoff-opening victory over Rancho Cucamonga Los Osos. Sami threw one other pass in the game, but it was intercepted by the defense.
In her three appearances, Sami has completed 2 of 4 passes for 42 yards. Sami is looking to become the first female in state history to threw a touchdown pass.

411 Games Interview: Jack Thompson
Posted by
Greg Bruno
on 02.04.2009
After reading the latest edition of 411's What If, Jack Thompson contacted 411 so that he could set the record straight in regards to his involvement with Take-Two Interactive. Check out 411Mania's exclusive interview with Jack Thompson for all the details!
If you frequent 411Mania's Games section, then you can be considered a gamer on some level or another. As a gamer, it is more than likely that you have at least heard of Jack Thompson. For the past few years, Jack has been quite vocal about the selling of violent video games to minors. He states that games have much more of a direct effect on people than we are admitting.
In the last edition of
What If?
a question was asked involving what would happen in the scenario where Jack Thompson had control of Take-Two Interactive; the very company he has his sights on taking down. Well, Jack happened to come across the column with the help of Google News Reader. Needless to say, he had some words for me. When Jack suggested that I do more than wildly speculate what would happen in the above stated case, I suggested an interview. Jack graciously agreed to give us some of his time in order to answer some of Gaming Section's staff questions. Below is the exclusive 411Mania interview with the one and only infamous Jack Thompson.
411: What are the purposes and your ultimate goal in buying shares of Take Two?
Jack Thompson:
To be part of the inevitable effort, given his mismanagement of the company, to kick Strauss Zelnick's ass out of the company.
411: If you have kids, what are the specific rules you give to them about gaming?
Jack Thompson:
My son is not allowed to play age inappropriate games that glorify violence and objectify women. He agrees with me.
411: Why not direct the attention of your crusade to encouraging responsibility among parents? I am not talking as much about what games they buy for their kids (I do believe following the ratings helps) but about sitting down with their kids and helping them understand the difference between the game's virtual reality and real life.
Jack Thompson:
I encourage responsibility among parents, including the parents who are at cash registers who sell Mature games to other parents' kids with their parents nowhere in sight. See, that is the sole issue for me. Is the industry going to stop selling Mature games to kids under 17 with no parent in sight. The industry says it wants parents to be fully involved in the buying process. Fine, then get your lying butts, Wal-Mart and Best Buy and Target to the 94% age compliance rate of GameStop. How did GameStop do that? By having "zero tolerance" for the sale of M games to anyone under 17. You do that and you the clerk gets fired and the store manager gets fired. It's freaking easy. Instead, all of the retailers are selling, with no age restriction and no age verification all games to anyone of any age via Internet sales. We're closing that loophole in Utah, and that law we are going to pass there is going to spread like wildfire.
411: As violent as video games have become, movies are (and have been for a long time) more violent and explicit than games themselves. When you compare the cartoonish violence of games like Mortal Kombat with the explicit gore of movies like the Saw series, I think we all agree the movie violence is far worse. Why direct your attention to games and not movies and other media?
Jack Thompson:
No, we don't all agree. Played Manhunt 2? Psychologists can prove that interactive violence is more likely to modify behavior than passively consumed violence. A peer-reviewed study in Neuroscience, I believe, found that game play teaches you behaviors. See, you are only looking at one side of the coin. One side is the appetite for violence. The other side is the training of skills to act out the violence. Games train you, which is why the military uses them. Not just for violence encouragement but for training effective skills. It's a double whammy, which is why gamers who massacre (there have been some, want a list?) are very good at what they do.
411: As a follow-up question, pornography is widely available through the internet and any kid that knows how to operate a computer can access it as easily as typing "naked girls" in any search engine. This can easily expose kids to images that their young minds are not ready to process or understand. Why is this less of a concern than prostitutes and a moving car in Grand Theft Auto, when clearly, in GTA you don't see anything (it's all left to the imagination) while pictures and video are way too explicit?
Jack Thompson:
It's not less of a concern. I have been involved in efforts against porn for 20 years and its distribution to kids. The US Supreme Court has hamstrung efforts to restrict content via the Internet. Not so as to tangible products you can buy in a store. The Court is behind the curve on the danger of the Internet. Not my fault.
411: The media have been quick to label your actions as "moral crusades". To what extent do you see a connection between your moral crusades against pop-culture, and the political crusades against communism instigated by Senator Joseph McCarthy 1947-57. How do you react to accusations of 'scare-mongering?
Jack Thompson:
I did my honors thesis in college on the McCarthy error. Big difference. He made stuff up, I have facts. There are literally thousands of scientific studies that prove certain entertainment materials -- porn and violence -- can be harmful to minors. I didn't make that up. I am not on a crusade. I believe in public safety, and I have spent countless hours with families whose loved ones are in the ground at the hands of a gamer who trained on a killing game to kill them. That changes your life. It motivates you. You know, if you're a liberal on a "crusade" you're simply a community organizer or a concerned social activist. But you find someone who is a Christian who acts on his social conscience, and he's on a religious jihad or some kind of nut. I was trained as a lawyer to use the law. That is what I do. It drives the other side crazy, that I might actually know what I am doing. If I had not been effective, you wouldn't be interviewing me, now would you? These people are so afraid, they have yanked my law license because I appeared on 60 Minutes. Sounds to me like they're the ones that are paranoid. Some real free speechers, aren't they?
411: Have you ever considered forming your own gaming company in order to produce the kinds of games you think may be of benefit to the gaming community? This would allow you the opportunity to show the world exactly what you're for, instead of what you're against.
Jack Thompson:
No, other people are doing that. I'm having too much fun doing what I do. We're about to get a huge video game bill passed in Utah. That is what I do. I leave the game design to smarter, more talented people than I.
411: Jack, we have to ask. Do you have a favorite game?
Jack Thompson:
Yep. Golf. I'm a four handicap, and I could kick all of your butts! That's my three-dimensional video game, and I love it. Besides, it gives me a better tan than a CRT.
411: Thank you very much for your time and best of luck in future endeavors.
Jack Thompson:
Cheers. I enjoyed it. You have been very nice. Let's do it again. Now I'm off to watch American Idol and beat the living dickens out of my Simon Cowell blow up doll! ;)
There you have it. Hopefully this gives you a bit more understanding as to what Jack's goals are. Again, thanks to Mr. Thompson for agreeing to take part in the interview.

Catting around
It's come to this: Fresno Bee readers have been reduced to dueling cat allegories on the Letters to the Editor page. On one side: a "totally clueless" and lazy black cat named Obama. On the other: a cat named Dubya that "disregards the expert advice on what's happening in the next block" and listens to his friends the "neocats." (I am not making this up.)
I often rely on local blog Gustav's Groupie to point out some of the more inane letters published in the pages of The Bee, and the highly readable Adam alerted me to the weirdness of the first letter, which I'll print in its entirety after the break. Was the writer going for a strained racial metaphor here? When he muses that the only way to stop a cat is to shoot it, which isn't permissible within city limits, is he slyly lamenting that killing our political leaders is illegal? Or are we just reading too much into tortured prose?
Then, in Thursday's paper, Rodney Austin responded with his "Dubya" set-up, which I'll also reprint after the break. His literary feline creation, whose color is not specified, is stubborn, thick-headed, mean and likes to torture mice.
I guess politics really is a catfight.
Photo credit: Piccat.com
Letter No. 1:
This is in response to Loran Hugh Parker's recent opinion [letter April 27] that we need to license cats. First, I am neither a cat person nor a cat expert. Second, and most importantly, it would be easier to braid their whiskers into cute designs than it would be to manage the travels of cats.
I have two cats, or more succinctly, they have us — Alley Cat and Obama. Obama is a solid black, totally clueless cat that would starve if Alley Cat didn't show him where the food and water is put. He's pretty, but he's also irrelevant to any discussion on cats, as he simply lays around on my convertible top.
I feed and care for these two feline freeloaders, but would not want to license them, nor would doing so automatically curb their behavior. They're cats!
Cats travel, go poop, attempt to bury it and they make an irritating noise when they don't get their way, rather like my children used to do.
There is only one way to stop them from behaving like cats, but shooting is against the law within the city limits, so deal with it!
D.J. Coates
Letter No. 2:
I know of a cat that D.J. Coates might like better than his adopted cat, Obama [letter April 30].
The cat answers to the name Dubya. A majority of the neighbors say he's a stupid cat, although I disagree. He disregards the expert advice on what's happening in the next block and listens, instead, to his friends, the neocats. As a result, he gets into backyards and starts fights.
The neocats are very secretive, hiding themselves and stuff they find strewn around the neighborhood behind bushes. The neocats jab their paws at insects and mice and watch them squirm.
When I'm in the house minding my own business with other consenting adults, the neocats can be heard shrieking outside my window. Does Dubya seem like a cat you'd love to own? It seems that these days, he's finding fewer and fewer places to hang out.
Mr. Coates mentioned that the other cat (color not revealed) is called Alley Cat. Is that short for Allegory? And secondly, are all the black cats in his neighborhood lazy, clueless freeloaders, or just his?

It's fair to say Zlatan Ibrahimovic does not lack in confidence. And confidence, it seems, is something that Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo needs more of, according to the Swede.
In an act of true friendship, Ibrahimovic sent the Portuguese an encouraging birthday gift – a t-shirt with the words 'Dare to Zlatan' written on it.
But Ronaldo, gracious as he was in his Twitter response, gave some banter back in equally comical fashion.

Happy birthday @Cristiano. I have sent your new favourite outfit in the post #DareToZlatan http://t.co/HWNKdq46J5—

'Thank you for the birthday present @Ibra_official. It will look better on me than you though.'
The World Player of the Year Ronaldo and the Fifa Puskas Award winner Ibrahimovic certainly have a lot to boast about, but clearly neither are too great to not indulge in some birthday love.

We all want to make more money – that's why you're reading this article. Yet while many of us went to college or started successful businesses, we still struggle with figuring out how to move past living paycheck to paycheck or generating enough income to move into being "wealthy." After all, if you need to "work" to meet your financial needs, you're not wealthy.
Defining wealth versus income
Official definitions of wealth include having an abundance of money, valuable possessions or material things. But this doesn't quite cut the mustard. Taking it a step further, wealth for our purposes is defined as having enough of said money and valuable possessions to preserve your current lifestyle without having to work to do so.
Income, on the other hand, can simply be defined as earned compensation for performing a service, selling goods or property. Passive income is also included, which would include income earned from financial investments.
Here are two women as examples:
Sally makes $100,000 a year (aka a six-figure income) but is by no means wealthy. She makes just enough to cover the rent on her expensive New York City apartment, pay student loans, cover the minimums on her credit card payments, pay groceries and has a little saved for a rainy day.
Rebecca on the other hand makes the same $100,000 a year but has managed to save prudently while maintaining a modest lifestyle. Though she makes a handsome salary, she's chosen to live a debt-free life with $2 million saved from various investments. She can easily choose to retire now and live on roughly $57,000 for the next 35 years without needing to work again.
The lesson? While Sally makes a six-figure income, she is just about broke. Rebecca is wealthy. We want wealthy.

Waco, Texas (Sports Network) - Amath M'Baye and Steven Pledger scored 20 points apiece for the Sooners as Oklahoma defeated the Baylor Bears, 74-71, in a Big 12 Conference showdown at the Ferrell Center.
M'Baye was 9-of-12 from the field with seven rebounds and two blocks for Oklahoma (14-5, 5-2 Big 12), which got its seventh win in nine games. Pledger also dished out five assists. Romero Osby added 11 points off 5-of-7 shooting from the floor with eight rebounds.
Pierre Jackson led all scorers with 22 points for Baylor (14-6, 5-2), which had its three-game winning streak snapped. Jackson was just 3-of-12 from long- range. Isaiah Austin was the game's top performer, scoring 17 points while pulling down a career-high 21 rebounds, which is the most ever by a Bear in Big 12 competition.
The Sooners carried a 38-26 lead into halftime after shooting 53.3 percent from the field and holding Baylor to just 31.3 percent.
The Bears battled back tough in the second half and outscored Oklahoma 45-36, despite allowing the Sooners to shoot 52.0 percent from the field. After getting the game back within three points, Baylor had two opportunities to tie the game in the final seconds but Jackson missed a 3-pointer with three seconds left and then Brady Heslip grabbed the offensive rebound and threw up a shot which was also off the mark.
The Bears outrebounded the Sooners, 47-34, but shot just 37.3 percent from the floor while allowing Oklahoma to shoot 52.7 percent.

LONDON — Clint Dempsey scored during stoppage time Sunday, giving Tottenham a 1-1 draw against Premier League-leading Manchester United.
The American, who sent Tottenham to its first win at United in 23 years in September, offset Robin van Persie's first-half header to give the fourth-place hosts something to show for their dominance at snowy White Hart Lane.

Special Issue "Claisen Rearrangement"

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exactly one century ago, the discovery of the Claisen rearrangement opened the way to many approaches (of what? Towards what?) for the organic chemist. Nice extensions address stereochemical aspects, allowing prediction of the relative final arrangements, the influence of solvents, temperature and catalysts on the reaction behavior. Chirality transfers have proven to be fascinating and several examples in the field of synthesis of biologically active compounds have also been considered.
This Special Issue on Claisen Rearrangement will offer an attractive forum to present the different aspects of this marvellous reaction. I highly encourage authors to submit papers for this Special Issue, within the scope of Molecules. I hope that the topics presented will cover the enormous potential and demonstrate its widespread usefulness.

LAKE WACCAMAW, NC (WECT) - Chris Haney will take over as head football coach at East Columbus high school pending approval from the Columbus County School Board which is scheduled to meet on July 15.
East Columbus athletic director Karl Bracy could not confirm or deny the move.
The move to Lake Waccamaw will mark the first head coaching job for Haney who was most recently an offensive assistant coach at New Hanover. Haney was also on staff at Ashley high school under Dylan Dimock and Jason Tindal.
Haney replaces Toby Kasell who stepped down in June to take a position at Leland Middle School where he will head up the football program as well as track team.
The Gators are coming off the best season in program history setting marks for wins (9) and playoff appearances. The Gators lost 19-18 to Albemarle in the third-round of the Class 1A playoffs.
Haney will make his debut when East Columbus opens the 2013 season at West Columbus on August 23.

Mar 26th 2010 6:26PM The Republicans didn't really care about health care in and of itself. They wanted to see Obama fail.

I don't buy it. They were following orders and doing what was good for the party, not the country. They were not always voting for their constituents. How could they with not one single pro vote ? I don't know if the bill is good or bad and either do you. So who actually read the 1200 pages? Only time will tell. The lack of bipartisanship was terrible.

Vandals slash tyres on 18 cars
11:20am Wednesday 30th January 2013 in Romsey By Ed Stilliard, Senior Reporter
EIGHTEEN cars had their tyres slashed when vandals went on a wrecking spree in a Hampshire town.
Motorists are left with hefty repairs bills after the cars had their tyres punctured along Cavendish Close off Woodley Lane in Romsey.
Many vehicles had two or three tyres damaged while others only a single tyre but for many the cost to repairing the damage will be more than £100.
Some residents said it was not the first time they had been targeted by vandals.
Sharon Blackett has been living in Cavendish Close for six years but this was the first time she had tyres slashed.
Two were damaged on her Vauxhall Corsa but although it is the first time it has happened to her, she has heard reports of similar incidents three times in the last three years.
"It's still £90 I could do with not having to pay out. For some unknown reason they just seem to pick this road," she said.
Resident Robert Smith is facing a £400 bill to replace two slashed tyres on his BMW 318 convertible.
"It's just so annoying. I might just have to take it off the road. It beggars belief. It's just after Christmas, I don't need it right now," he said.
Another victim of the tyre slasher who did not want to be named, said: "My fiance's van had three tyres slashed and when I spoke to my sister who visited us last night, she told me this morning that all four tyres on her black Ford Ka had been slashed.
"I am absolutely gobsmacked that she got home in one piece. She said the car was noisy when she drove back home to Southampton but didn't discover the flat tyres until this morning. My sister could have crashed her car and I dread to think what might have happened to her."
Police are now hunting the vandals who went on the rampage on Monday night.
Officers carried out a leaflet drop in an attempt to trace the vehicle owners and advise drivers to keep a close eye on parked cars and check tyres for defects before setting off on journeys.
Police have also stepped up patrols in the area in attempt to find out who was responsible for the damage which was carried out between 8.45pm and 9.30pm.
Officers confirmed some kind of "sharp instrument" was used to carry out the attacks.
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Claire Held at Romsey police station on 101.

A couple weeks later, I tried again, and this time received a phone call from HR. We did a phone screen, and then later then brought me in for an interview.

Friday, October 12, 2007
Of course, you're not invincible, and it's important to remember that fact. When Macro Man mentioned to a colleague that he was having "one of those days", the colleague asked him how long he reckoned it could last. "Until I walk out the door," Macro Man replied, "then I'll start losing money."
Little did he know how right he was. For once Macro Man left the office, yesterday's "one of those days" turned into another type of "one of those days", a type that, alas, occurs with much greater frequency than the first kind. The sharp intraday reversal in US equities put a dent in the risk asset lovefest (Macro Man's risk appetite indicator took a tasty plunge away from euphoria levels), but that's not what turned today into "one of those days." Sharp intraday turns are to be expected in high volatility environments, and regular readers will recall that one of Macro Man's core views is that secular volatility is on the rise.
No, what makes today another "one of those days" is the rumour and innuendo surrrounding yesterday's share price swoon and the hysterical overraction across asset markets to tick-by-tick moves in equities.
So far, Macro Man has heard the following explanations, presented in all seriousness, for yesterday's reversal:
1) JP Morgan downgrades Baidu.com, the overvalued Chinese inernet company that has partied like it's 1999
2) JP Morgan itself has a Merrill- or UBS-like turd about to be unveiled
3) Turkey recalls its ambassador to the US as Congress contemplates legislation to call a 90-year-old campaign against Armenians as genocide.
4) Hank Paulson reiterated that America likes a strong dollar. (He also asked Santa for a PlayStation 3 for Christmas.)
5) Belated realization that oil is trading at $80, not $20
Macro Man is almost surprised that there wasn't some mention of the Plunge Protection Team taking profits on the stocks they bought at SPX 1375...
In any case, Macro Man was inundated with tick-by-tick reports on Shanghai shares this morning. Amusingly, they closed more or less unchanged, and on a six-month chart the day's action is pretty indistinguishable:
Despite today's PPI and retail sales data in the US, therefore, Macro Man is fearful that today will be one of those horrible "infinite noise-to-signal" days. Perhaps he'd be better off by closing his Bloomberg terminal and doing research...
Elsewhere, yesterday saw the release of US trade data, as well as Macro Man's new favourite datapoint, import/export prices. Trade was better than expected, and will likely force the Street to mark up its Q3 growth forecasts. Folks, the Fed spends several paragraphs in the minutes talking about foreign growth for a reason: they are expecting the rest of the world to help support the US economy. So far, this is one thing they have got right.
But US import prices from China rose yet again, the eighth straight month that such prices have been flat or higher on the month. Year-on-year import price growth from China is now 1.6%, while the annualized quarterly rise is in excess of 4%! Those claiming that food prices don't matter (a posse that includes the Fed, it must be said) are missing the boat, in Macro Man's view.
One central bank not missing the boat is that of South Africa, which hiked rates another 0.50% yesterday to 10.5%. While the rand is at levels that has previously made the SARB uncomfortable, they hiked rates yestrday and observed that a strong ZAR mitigates the impact of higher food and energy prices.
Contrast that behaviour with the Central Bank of Russia, which this week has stated that a) they don't plan to allow any more rouble appreciation, and b) that they are giving up hope of meeting their inflation target. Uhhh....fellas......do you think those two facts might be connected? In what is surely an unrelated development, some Russian banks are reportedly running into a spot of bother.
So, too, are banks in erstwhile petro-darling Kazakhstan, where the central bank has spent a quarter of its FX reserves on supporting the tenge and purchased all sorts of turd-like assets. Now the government appears to be set to embark on a prgram that is tantamount to re-nationalizing some Kazakh companies.
Could we finally be on the cusp of sub-optimal policy choices coming home to roost? If so, the world could be set to get a bit more interesting...

Gud stuff as always MM! Inflation seems to be a problem as PPI today demonstrated (weaker core notwithstanding, stripping out autos it was almost 0.3% still). Spiking Baltic Dry index amongst others adds to the worries.
Since you mentioned SARB cant help but ask whether you got any view on the local rates in SA?
Have a gud w/e!

- Macro Man said...
Bitr, it looks to me like the SA curve is still too inverted. Everyone keeps receiving, and the SARB keeps hiking, and the trades keep losing....

- RJH Adams said...
PPI & trade data comment noted w/interest as it is another indicator (to me at least) that a small contrarianist movement seems to be building up against a pretty heavy consnsus battalion of low key/lower forecast CPI and GDP growth figures for the next 3 to 4 Qs.
Alot of stock (unintended pun) is placed in the (supposed) accommodative (is that really a word?) stance of the Fed (must get a Taylor rate graph up soon); some unexpectedly chirpy GDP (looks a pretty interesting bet) coupled with some price pressure going into late Q1 2008 could be quite a scenario...
Hey, if NZ can be sent home "early" anything is possible.
- October 12, 2007 at 6:01 PM
- Macro Man said...
I find it difficult to believe that in a world where low-cost suppliers are feeling price pressures, high-cost consumers aren't as well. The rate of change of headline CPI will have stepped up sharply in September, to go with the sharp rises observed earlier in the year.
While I'm not quite at the point of looking for big GDP figs over the next few quarters, I do think it's reasonable to view Q3 as the likely nadir. That the macro inventory data looks healthy is a strong suggestion that the economy isn't in horrible shape, particularly with import growth slowing.
- October 12, 2007 at 6:38 PM
Thanks MM. Will see how it pans out.
Go bokkas!
Cheers, Bitr

gud stuff, what happens if the mortgage market goes one step lower, because the abx indices are tanking again and the last time that happened(august) it wasnt pretty..
- October 12, 2007 at 11:40 PM
- Macro Man said...
I think the ABX indices are falling in response to the agencies' wielding the axe on some of the underlying securities.
A few months ago, the market's Pavlovian response was to sell risk assets. For the time being, at least, people seem happy to view mortgage securities as ringfenced...

Starting this week, Hamilton County commissioners will step into the 21st century -- at least most of them.On Wednesday, commissioners won't be given large bundles of weekly reports, minutes and agendas before the meeting as they customarily have. Instead, they'll have slim, sleek iPads.Mayor Jim Coppinger said last week the effort has been a long process, but it will ultimately lead to more transparency and better exchange of information between his office and the commission.Most of the commissioners are going in with both feet -- but not their leader.Read more from our news partners at the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Commission Chairman Fred Skillern will still be using paper. "All I know about it is I'm not involved in it. I'm not going to be using an iPad. I'm computer illiterate, and I don't have enough time left in my life to learn it."

The same thing he felt in himself, a bare damask out in a field somewhere of funereal blackness, blankness, and his sight rose fast and higher and higher, and the damask that had been the thing Barry had clung to with such supreme tenacity became an instant, a skate left in some million years ago childhood, seen from up lily model sets high, like from the eyes of God, and Barry felt that sickness hispanic teen models inside himself and looked into the attendant darkness

It's time to get together and back our Red Raiders in the Alamo Bowl tonight!
-Yes it is a travesty what has happened
-Yes our AD let us down
-Yes Craig James and Baby James are whiney bitches
-But NO, no matter what people say or feel, this is not the end of good football in West Texas!
I may be standing out on a ledge here, but I think this could actually be a (forced) step in a better direction for our football program (if handled right from here on out). I mean from where I am sitting Mike Leach took us as far as any coach has taken us, and re-birthed our program into the national spotlight... But lets face facts, he never won a big one for us. So here is where we need to make a solid HC pick, one who HAS been tested, and HAS won the big game before. For all of Leach's strong points, they have always been his undoing as well, his stubbornness has cost us games this year, and in the past. I mean Leach's system was outstanding for building up our program, for years we were undersized and outmatched as far as talent goes, and Leach's spread leveled the playing field... But am I the only one who has looked at our talent the past few years and wondered what we could do with some of this talent if we just mixed up the play calling a little bit? As much as I LOVE the pass, Id also love to see us be able to square up against someone on the goal line and ram it down their throats.
Now before everyone gets mad at the thought of moving past Leach so fast, or thinking I'm not giving due credit, I just ask you to look at things like I have the past few days...
The things that Mike has done for us aren't just going to go away, the incredible athletic facilities arent going to disassemble themselves, the new buildings built from football bowl money aren't going to collapse... and the name we have created for ourselves isn't going away either.
I guess my main point is that whether or not we have some shitheads running things (right now)... Texas Tech has become a desirable job and with the right pick, all the tools are in place to do incredible things here (and yes I'm talking NCs).
With this being said we all need to band together and Support Texas Tech Football team. These players can't control who is in charge, and turning your backs on them because you are mad at the administration is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. These kids still work hard day in and day out (aside from Baby James) and DESERVE our respect and support even through these dark times.
Lets go out there today and kick some Spartan Ass
Wreck 'Em
P.S. I know im hitting on several different points, and could have done better with several smaller posts... Its just I got sick (littereally) when this whole thing started and have nothing but time and thoughts in my head for days... I guess this is the result... lol

Why the Great Wall of China's Still Standing
Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
The Great Wall of China is not crumbling down as some are starting to suggest following news that Chinese premier Wen Jiabao cut the country's gross domestic product (GDP) target to an eight-year low of 7.5% for 2012. As I have said in previous commentary, China is stalling and clearly impacted by the debt and muted growth in Europe, particularly the eurozone, but the country is not in a downward spiral, as 7.5% growth is comparatively good. GDP growth in the Chinese economy could plummet to as low as 6.8% in 2012 should the growth situation in Europe and theU.S. falter, according to the Asian Development Bank.
What makes me confident is thatChinawill now spend big-time with new stimulus to make sure the country's economy avoids a hard landing, which would be quite negative. As long asChinacan cap its inflation at the official four-percent target, added stimulus will be fine. In my view, the lower rate of growth is positive, as the inflation inChinahas also steadily declined to more manageable levels. The country's consumer price index (CPI) came in at 4.5% in January, down from 6.5% in July, representing five straight months of monthly declines in inflation.
China is aiming for "higher-quality development over a longer period of time" and will keep its current "proactive" fiscal and "prudent" monetary program in place, said Wen.
The county wants to avoid a hard landing and halt the slide in GDP growth by initially pumping over $540 million into its banking system for new loans. China has reduced the bank reserve requirement that will allow increased loans to businesses and consumers, which will help to drive the Chinese economy.
China's policymakers will also cut the income tax paid by companies along with the import duties on energy and raw materials in an effort to drive domestic consumption.
In addition, the added stimulus will include more funds available for key consumer spending areas, such as education, health and other services aimed to increase the disposable income available for consumers to spend on goods and services.
Any impact on the Chinese economy could send shock waves around the world. The Chinese economy, which had been charging ahead on all cylinders and becoming the envy of the world, is showing some growth pains that could hamper the country's rate of growth.
- He Beat the Market Eight Times Over Last Year!
His Top 19 Picks Averaged a Gain of 216.23% in 2013 at their price highs... But Michael Lombardi's upset because his picks averaged a better gain in 2009! Now he's promising to make 2014 his best year ever for making money in the stock market!
Story and Michael's weekly stock-picks here.
The problem is that the global demand for cheaper-made Chinese goods has been on the decline. Part of the reason for this is that other industrialized countries are looking at driving domestic employment by protecting local manufacturing and this would negatively impact China. For this reason, the Chinese want to stimulate domestic demand for its goods.
While the current market risk regarding Chinese stocks is extremely high as the threat of global slowing continues, I still like the future for China as an economic powerhouse, but we need to get past the near-term hurdles.
Stocks are facing tough chart resistance and I feel the risk of a near-term downside move has increased given the Greek and eurozone risk. You can read my thoughts in Stocks at Multi-year Highs, But Watch For Some Near-term Topping.

The Great Crash of 2014
A stock market crash bigger than what happened in 2008 and early 2009 is headed our way.
In fact, we are predicting this crash will be even more devastating than the 1929 crash…
…the ramifications of which will hit the economy and Americans deeper than anything we've ever seen.
Our 27-year-old research firm feels so strongly about this, we've just produced a video to warn investors called, "The Great Crash of 2014."
In case you are not familiar with our research work on the stock market:
In late 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, we told our clients to buy small-cap stocks. They rose about 100% after we made that call.
We were one of the first major advisors to turn bullish on gold.
Throughout 2002, we urged our readers to buy gold stocks; many of which doubled and even tripled in price.
In November of 2007, we started begging our customers to get out of the stock market. Shortly afterwards, it was widely recognized that October 2007 was the top for stocks.
We correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009.
And in March of 2009, we started telling our readers to jump into small caps. The Russell 2000 gained about 175% from when we made that call in 2009 to today.
Many investors will find our next prediction hard to believe until they see all the proof we have to back it up.
Even if you don't own stocks, what's about to happen will affect you!
I urge you to be among the first to get our next major

This project establishes a semester-long course in which students in the Lubin School of Business have the opportunity to conceive, plan, and develop ideas for internet businesses. Teams of students form after taking a business planning course to develop and plan business concepts, analyze and research these concepts, and then implement them in prototype form with the assistance of hired web programmers and external mentors from the local area (Silicon Alley). The objective is to develop and provide marketable concepts that will be developed further as Advanced E-Teams or startup ventures. The course has access to the resources of the business school, including a mentoring program. Plans are underway to provide internship opportunities for students working on startups, and expand the network of mentors. A short but impressive list of existing members includes the founder and CEO of Quicken and Corcoran.

The major limiting factor in the lifetime of total hip prosthesis is wear and its incumbent problems. The current implant lifetime is ten or fifteen years, which is typically insufficient for most active patients, and revision surgeries are often necessary.This grant supported the development of patent protection and the pursuit of licensing agreements for a novel approach to increasing the durability of artificial replacement hip joints. The team consisted of one student and a broad group of advisors working to develop basic technology sufficient to obtain patent protection and initiate licensing arrangements. The innovation is a method of mimicking the lubrication capabilities of natural cartilage with a synthetic matrix containing molecules that mimic the weeping and ionic re-uptake of synovial liquid that protects the bearing surfaces.

This grant supports a program in entrepreneurship that is offered as a minor to nonbusiness (technical & other) majors at Miami University. The PI previously received a planning grant for the development of this course. The grant supports two classes which, taken together, constitute the core components of a team-based approach to entrepreneurship. The first course focuses on creativity and productive ideation with content provided on teaming, creativity, and related topics. All exercises have a commercial focus. The second course focuses on technological entrepreneurship and provides opportunities for teams to develop around technologically based commercial opportunities. Both courses feature extensive guest lectures and draw on resources beyond the university by including mentors and guest speakers. E-Teams that form in these courses go on to focus on the development of their ideas in a capstone entrepreneurship course already in place.
