NBA Weekly Column: Warriors atop the league
Although the NBA season is still in the early stages, things are heating up. Unlike recent history, the East is competing with the West for bragging rights in labeling the best conference in the league.
Power Six Teams
1. Golden State Warriors(5-1):
Before losing to the Phoenix Suns this Sunday, the Warriors were the lone undefeated team in the league. They even won a battle between two unbeaten teams when they rolled through Houston and took down the Rockets 98-87.
2. Chicago Bulls(6-2):
Derrick Rose is back from his bad ankle injuries, which only means the Bulls will get ten times better with him on the court. Their defense is darn near impenetrable and the combination of Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol down low is formidable to say the least.
3. Houston Rockets(6-1):
They are 4-0 on the road. Before losing to the Warriors this past Saturday, Houston reeled off six straight wins…all by double digits!
4. Memphis Grizzlies(6-1):
This team is for real. The Grizzlies may not be the most exciting team to watch

NBA Rumors: Latest Buzz on Potential Roster Moves Around the League
While teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers worry about positioning for the NBA playoffs early in the season, others like the Philadelphia 76ers already have their eyes on next year.
However, there are still some rumors revolving around the 76ers early in the 2014-15 campaign because they are required to actually play the games on the schedule. Playing the games on the schedule actually means fielding a roster, even if it's not competitive.
With that in mind, here is the latest from Philadelphia, as well as a rumor regarding a former Big Ten superstar.
Philadelphia 76ers
Tom Moore of Calkins Media passed along an update on the 76ers' big-man situation:
Philadelphia sits at 0-7 and is fresh off a blowout loss at the hands of the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night. This team is not built to compete this season and would be better off losing every game for draft purposes.
Still, as mentioned, it has to field a deep enough roster to play actual NBA games.
Considering Henry Sims and Nerlens Noel are the only healthy centers on the roster while Joel Embiid recovers from injury, adding another center would bolster the interior depth. Sure, there may not be a lot available at this point of the season, but even a replacement-level center would help take some mileage off Noel's legs.
The good news given the current roster situation is that it won't be particularly difficult to find a player to cut.
Eventually, the 76ers could field a roster led by Michael Carter-Williams, Embiid, Noel and Dario Saric, but this will be yet another lost season—regardless of whatever big man they pull off the free-agency pile at this point of the year.
Hopefully, the fanbase has impressive patience.
Aaron Craft
Sportando's Orazio Cauchi noted that former Ohio State point guard Aaron Craft could have a new basketball home rather soon.
"According to several sources, Aaron Craft is the main target at PG position for the Partizan Belgrade. Craft spent the training camp with the Golden State Warriors and he has the chance to play in D-League for the Santa Cruz Warriors," he wrote.
Craft is best known for his time as a Buckeye, where he reached the Sweet 16 three times, the Elite Eight twice and the Final Four once. He was never much of an offensive threat (8.9 points a game in his four-year career), but he was an absolute defensive wizard at the college level.
Craft won the 2013-14 NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches) Defensive Player of the Year and racked up 337 steals in his career, which is the most in the history of the Big Ten.
It is really no wonder that the Partizan Belgrade are interested in landing a perimeter defender who can keep up with almost any ball-handler on the outside and apply full-court pressure when needed. There could also be room for that type of play at the NBA level if Craft was put in the right situation.
He is capable of coming off the bench and speeding up the game for short spurts with pressure defense and forced turnovers.
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr seemed to think so when he said the following to NBA TV (h/t Bob Baptist of the Columbus Dispatch) during summer league: "Guy's a baller. He just plays."
It looks like Craft may have to turn more heads than just Kerr's from abroad now if he ever wants to make it in the NBA.

NBA Trade Rumors: Latest Whispers from Around the League
You have probably made a number of trades already in your fantasy basketball league or in NBA 2K15, but there usually aren't any big-time moves in the opening week or two of an actual NBA season.
That is certainly the case for the 2014-15 campaign, but there are still plenty of rumors circulating around the league.
Two of those trade rumors in particular surround the Los Angeles franchises, as the Clippers are looking for ways to improve a title-contending roster, while the Lakers' star is caught up in some rumors of his own.
With that in mind, here is a look at some of the latest trade rumors from around the NBA.
Frank Isola of the (New York) Daily News passed along an update regarding the possibility of Kobe Bryant getting traded to the New York Knicks:
The Lakers could begin the rebuilding process immediately by removing Bryant's salary from their cap. The Knicks are one team that has expiring contracts to placate Los Angeles.
"I don't see it happening," said one Eastern Conference GM. "I'd put it at minus 20%."
The same general manager thought about it for a moment and added: "The only way this happens is if Kobe goes to the Lakers and asked to be traded."
If you take away the fact that Bryant has played with the Lakers his entire career and that the Eastern Conference general manager said it's not going to happen, this potential trade makes some sense.
A Bryant and Carmelo Anthony pairing would make the Knicks instant playoff contenders in the watered-down Eastern Conference. What's more, Bryant is familiar with the triangle offense and with Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher from their time in Los Angeles together and would accelerate the learning curve in the Big Apple.
From the Lakers' perspective, getting rid of Bryant would exponentially increase their chances of landing a top-five draft pick, which is the only way their pick doesn't go to the Phoenix Suns this season. Considering Steve Nash and Julius Randle are out for the year, Bryant is the only real hope the Lakers have at stringing together any wins.
Interestingly, Isola notes that if Bryant were to become available, the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks would also be among the teams that take a look at the future Hall of Famer.
Chicago and Dallas are both title contenders on paper, and adding a dynamic star like Bryant would really alter the landscape of the NBA. It would especially help in Chicago, since the Bulls have struggled to score the past couple of years and Derrick Rose's health is always a concern.
Before everyone gets excited about the prospect of Bryant switching uniforms, it is worth looking at some quotes from the man himself, via Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports:
I hear the chatter of Kobe should ask out and he should go and play for a contender in this latter stage of his career. But that's not what I do. I'm extremely loyal to the Lakers.
I believe in fighting through the tough times as well as enjoying the good times. It's my responsibility to get us to be the best that we can be. It's important that we approach that on a day-to-day basis.
Perhaps he will change his mind when the trade deadline rolls around after a half season of losing.
Los Angeles Clippers Looking for a Small Forward
Things are looking a lot better for the other Los Angeles franchise, but there is still room for improvement for the Clippers if they want to compete with the defending champion San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs this season.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports made the following statements on The Home Team radio program, via www.kfwbam.com:
"The Clippers have to find a way to get better at small forward. They're just not good enough there. They've scoured the league trying to find a small forward, but I don't know that they have the assets or players to give up to get that kind of player back in a trade."
The Clippers have arguably the best point guard in the game in Chris Paul, one of the best overall players in the league in Blake Griffin and an interior force in DeAndre Jordan. They also boast solid backcourt depth with Jamal Crawford and J.J. Redick, and Spencer Hawes is a formidable big man off the bench.
However, there is not a lot of proven or reliable talent outside of Matt Barnes at the small forward position. Hedo Turkoglu is well past his prime, and Chris Douglas-Roberts is not exactly the guy you want to rely on in crunch time against the Spurs in May.
Even Barnes himself is more of a defensive stopper than an offensive threat.
It is really no wonder that Los Angeles is looking at small forwards with that roster. There really aren't any other holes to fill.
The Clippers have the pieces to make a run at the title, and the injury situation in Oklahoma City means the Western Conference is wide open behind the Spurs. This could be their best chance to take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy, and another small forward would only make Los Angeles even more dangerous come playoff time.

NBA denies that league asked Toronto Raptors to fire Drake
Earlier this week, there was a report by The Globe and Mail which stated that the NBA had offered to drop a $25,000 tampering fine that had been issued to the Toronto Raptors if the team stripped Drake of his official ambassador title. Drake had gotten into some hot water with the league for "recruiting" Kevin Durant during a concert he held over the summer. Now, the NBA has responded to the report by stating that they never broached the subject of asking the Raptors to relieve Drake of his ambassadorship. "As the Raptors' global ambassador, Drake must follow our anti-tampering rules," Tim Frank, the league's senior vice-president of basketball communications, said in an email to The Canadian Press on Wednesday. "At no point did we suggest his title be removed but we were clear that as long as he acted as a representative of the team, he is subject to the league's rules." With as much attention as he brings the Raptors (let's be real, this is the most national coverage that the Rap…

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA—Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. has opened its first Four Points by Sheraton brand here.
Owned by Felicity Hotel Ply Ltd., the property is the first globally branded, new build property to open in the city's Central Business District in more than a decade. It is the brand's fourth hotel in Australia.
Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane will 246 guestrooms and is located in a 32-story tower designed by Brisbane-based Noel Robinson Architects in the heart of the city. It also offers 3,358 square feet of meeting space.

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

Out with the old and in with the new is not a motto that the University of Virginia lives by.
Rouss Hall is going to be the new home for the School of Commerce and it is going to be renovated and have a big addition right where Varsity Hall is now," said Capital Project manager Dick Minturn.
Varsity Hall, built in 1858, has a rich history from being the university's first infirmary to most recently housing the Air Force ROTC program.
The university couldn't bring itself to knock it down, so instead they're just going to move it aside and make way for the new commerce building. "The process is that first they stabilize the building," explained Minturn. "Next, they cut holes through the foundation and slipped some of these steel beams through the building, put these hydraulic jacks underneath the beams and then very carefully lifted the building."
Next the Expert House Movers of Virginia Beach will build a ramp, and in mid-April, simply roll the building two hundred and fifty feet away.
Varsity Hall will then be renovated inside, but the floor plan will stay the same. The goal is to preserve the building's history, which is a new focus for the university, which previously only had an interest in preserving its Founder's structures, said Minburn.
"Traditionally we have always felt that the Jefferson buildings were very precious and perhaps we have focused too much on them," professed Minburn. "What this represents that's different is a recognition by the university that we have lots of historic buildings."
Varsity Hall is expected to be completed in two years. The Commerce building won't be finished until spring 2008. Starting March 19, patients will take University Avenue instead of Jefferson Park Avenue to get to the Medical Center until the project is completed.

Does the iPad dock need to be plugged into power if you are using it simply to run speakers through

- Asked by Peter T from Canberra

Apple iPad Dock
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
No power to the dock is required for your iPad to play through speakers attached to the dock (you are running on the iPad battery). Unless you have some other reason to buy the dock, I would just plug the speakers directly into the iPad headphone jack and save the cost of the dock.

With pronouncements yesterday from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to boost fiscal revenues, investors are right to remain skeptical about its revenue sources.
Nicholas Watson at Teneo Intelligence writes:
"Before [Maduro's] specially-granted decree powers run out today, 18 November … The measures include income tax increases for higher earners, higher taxes on luxury items and new 'sin' tax hikes. But these are mostly tweaks that fall short of what is required given the fiscal impact of the continuing oil price slide; last week's average sale price for Venezuelan crude was $70.83, the lowest level since 2010. On the fiscally more significant matter of fuel prices, Maduro appeared to edge closer to an adjustment on 17 November; the government is attempting to cast an adjustment as an issue that the grassroots of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) is demanding, as opposed to a top-down decision from the executive. The timing of any move remains unclear, though clearly the legislative elections due in the fourth quarter of 2015 will influence the final decision, should it finally come.
With the roughly 30% drop in oil prices, a significant source of Venezuela's revenue, the question remains: can the Latin American country meet its debt repayment commitments? Watson writes:
"According to the Central Bank of Venezuela, the reserves went from $19.4 billion on 14 November to $21.4 billion last night, 17 November. It is not clear whether this $2 billion addition forms part of the $4 billion in Chinese loans that Maduro announced would be added to the reserves. Neither is it clear what the 'other things' to boost reserves that Maduro referred to might actually be; the president's vagueness warrants skepticism."
The S&P Latin America 40 Index (ILF) is up 1.6% today, while the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is flat. The iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (EMHY) holds Venezuela debt; its price rose 0.92% today.
Venezuela's commitment to make debt payments should hold even if oil prices slip a little lower for a little longer.
So says Eurasia Group's Risa Grais-Targow, who writes that even with oil prices of $75 to $80 per barrel for a sustained period, Venezuela can service debt. But if there was a precipitous drop in oil prices below $70, funds would be harder to come by, and that could raise greater risks for President Nicolas Maduro. She writes:
"For now, the military remains fully vested in [the] regime's survival and if anything, Maduro is better positioned within the PSUV [The United Socialist Party of Venezuela] now than he was when he assumed office. If, however, there is some sort of social explosion … factions of the military would likely be unwilling to defend Maduro's presidency, leading to a potentially messy political transition. Though not our base case, a sustained and precipitous drop in oil prices (below $70) would likely accelerate such a risk, and materially threaten the government's ability to meet its debt obligations."
Earlier this week, Venezuela's state-run oil company made a $3 billion debt payment, and took to Twitter to publicize its action.
Eurasia Group thinks oil prices will rebound "somewhat" later this year or early next year. Following a research trip to Caracas, Grais-Targow writes:
"… The government remains committed to servicing its external debt in 2015 and is not even considering the possibility of default … While Venezuela's oil basket fell to $75.90 last week, the average oil price for 2014 remains $94.14 (compared to $98 per barrel in 2013 and 103 in 2012) … Assuming that the price of Venezuela's oil basket is $75-$80 or above, the government will have the capacity to both meet its external debt obligations and minimum import demand. While the government remains unwilling to even consider meaningful economic reforms until after the 2015 legislative elections, it will likely undertake a foreign exchange adjustment in the months ahead, likely in early January 2015. Though the precise form of devaluation is unclear, a dual system, with the two Sicad rates of 12 bolivars to the dollar and 50 bolivars to the dollar seems the most likely outcome …"
A handful of Venezuela's major companies, including banks, paper and mining companies, trade over the counter with ADRs. Investors can get exposure to Venezuela's bonds in the iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (EMHY), which is up more than 8% year to date. While the fund represents a basket of 200 bonds, Venezuela debt was the third largest concentration at about 6% of assets as of Oct. 28, according to the iShares summary of its emerging market high-yield bond fund.
The iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF) is up 2.7% today while the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF(EEM) is up 0.8%. Data was not available for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America ETF (EEML).
Some headlines in the emerging markets world for Wednesday:
Emerging markets finished the day mixed after the Federal Reserve said it would end its asset-purchase program, and keep interest rates low for a considerable time as it monitors inflation and the job market. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) erased gains, and ended the day fractionally higher.
Mexico: Resilient in the face of the Fed's pronouncement, the iShares Mexico Capped ETF (EWW) was flat on the day, while countries more affected by higher interest rates moved lower, including Turkey: the iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) was down 0.5%. Meanwhile, Mexicans are getting increasingly agitated as authorities continue to look for 43 male students who disappeared after they were arrested by police and reportedly turned over to a drug gang. See "In Mexico, A New Lead On Missing Students," The New York Times.
Russia: Four groups of Russian planes conducted reconnaissance missions in Europe, an unprecedented number, according to the North American Treaty Organization. The Wall Street Journal reports that the flights could have endangered civilian flights, given the size of the maneuvers. The flights were on Tuesday and Wednesday, and planes from eight nations reacted to the perceived threat, rare in the post-Cold War era. See "NATO Tracks Large-Scale Russia Air Activity In Europe," WSJ. The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) fell nearly a point Wednesday.
Venezuela: Allaying fears about debt default, Venezuela's state-run oil company PDVSA paid a $3 billion bond payment due, with the Finance Minister Rodolfo Marco Torres confirming the action in a Tweet, followed by an Economic & Social Development Bank of Venezuela Tweet that "the Bolivarian government continues to honor its commitments. PDVSA has paid its 2014 bonds for $3 billion. Efficiency!" Here's the Tweet from the bank posted to Finance Minister Rodolfo Marco Torres' feed:
RT @RMarcoTorres El Gob Bolivariano continúa cumpliendo sus compromisos: Pdvsa realiza pago de Petrobonos 2014 por 3000 MM $ ¡Eficiencia! — Bandes (@BandesVe) October 29, 2014
More from The Financial Times in "Venezuelan Oil Co Makes Bond Payment." And in case you missed it: With oil prices in a slump, meaning lower input costs, maybe the refining business isn't so bad. Debt-strapped Venezuela isn't selling its U.S. refiner Citgo after all. See "Venezuela Cancels Plan To Sell U.S. Refiner Citgo," WSJ.
India: In U.S. trading Wednesday afternoon, India-focused exchange-traded funds moved lower, and that was especially true for smallcaps: the iShares MSCI India Small Cap ETF (SMIN) was down 2%.
Brazil's market is rallying this morning on an otherwise mixed day for emerging markets, following a selloff in advance of Sunday's presidential election.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is up 0.4% and has moved higher by 3.5% this week. The iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF) is up 2.7%, while the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) is up more than 4%.
A summary of some of today's emerging market headlines:
Brazil: The Bovespa Index is up 3% today, but down 6% this week. Shares of Brazil's largest companies are up in tandem, while state-run energy giant Petrobras (PBR) has rallied nearly 8% this morning after a 12.5% drop this week. Pres. Dilma Rousseff has ticked ahead of investor favorite Aecio Neves in voter polls, WSJ reports, despite her party's ties to a Petrobras bribery scandal.
Poland: After Poland's central bank governor said the zloty is undervalued, its value against the euro moved higher, Bloomberg reports.
Russia: Pres. Vladimir Putin denied Russia is building an empire and encroaching on neighbor states, and instead accused the U.S. of disrupting world order, Reuters reports. Russia's Micex Index fell 0.3% and is down nearly 2 points this week.
Venezuela: As shoppers face down a scarcity of goods in Venezuela, the Venezuela government seized warehouses of food and medical goods alleged to be controlled by "bourgeois criminals," Reuters reports. Despite a trove of heavy crude that rivals Saudi Arabia's reserves, Venezuela will import oil from North Africa, a sign the regime is crumbling, WLRN.org reports.
Venezuela is banking on $60 oil in its 2015 budget, and intends to pay an upcoming debt payment despite falling crude prices.
The conservative oil price budget figure — exibiting a "studied nonchalance," Teneo Intelligence writes — comes despite significant spending increases proposed. Deutsche Bank sums things up today on the Venezuela government budget for 2015, which was sent to the national assembly Tuesday:
"Minister of economics, finance, and public banking Marco Torres put forward the National Budget and Indebtedness Law for 2015. Expenditure by the central government is expected to grow by close to 35% in nominal terms and reach around 21.5% of GDP. In the statement, the minister reiterated that PDVSA [the state oil company] and the Republic maintain the ability and willingness to pay external debt even if oil prices continue falling. He also highlighted that the price of oil used for the budget is a conservative US $60 per barrel. Moreover, he mentioned that the state oil company already has the resources to pay for the coming October 28th maturity for around $3 billion."
A handful of Venezuelan stocks trade over the counter in the U.S.; steel and iron ore producer Siderurgica Venezolana Sivensa (SDNVY), is off by nearly 5% today. The iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF) is flat today, while the iShares MSCI Emerging Market ETF (EEM) is down nearly 0.4%.
Venezuela has vowed to pay a $3 billion bond payment due next week, Reuters reports and Teneo Intellence agrees it can do so, writes Nicholas Watson:
"President Nicolas "Maduro still has options to avoid a default, though they involve politically difficult decisions that he has hitherto been unwilling or unable to make. Maduro's political strength and appetite to undertake reforms in an election year therefore remain critical to the 2015 outlook. The premise of the 2015 budget brought few surprises; in other words, it is based on typically unrealistic assumptions."
Venezuela is a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, and what happens next with oil prices partially rides on OPEC's November meeting. See "Is Revenge Vs. Russia Behind The Oil Price Drop?"
The big drop in oil prices is about the surplus in oil, despite the conspiracy theories.
So says Nomura senior political analyst Alastair Newton, going along with oil expert Daniel Yergin. The U.S. is producing an extra 3.9 million barrels per day compared to 2008, an 80% increase in output, plus Libya has quadrupled production in recent weeks to up to 1 million barrels per day. Even Iraq is producing 3 million barrels per day, despite the threat from the Islamic State, Newton writes.
And Saudi Arabia is unlikely to cut production before the next meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries on Nov. 27, Newton adds. What's motivating them? They can balance their budget for now, even with the international Brent oil price benchmark hovering near $85 per barrel. What's NOT motivating the Saudis? Newton dismisses some theories:
So if prices stay low, here's who gets hurt, Newton at Nomura writes:
Venezuela: Bond investors are already fretting about the possibility of a (dollar-denominated) debt default, at a time when broad market sentiment seems to be moving increasingly against more risky assets. Given the high cost to Caracas of default (in terms of seizure of assets it holds abroad), the government may be forced to make hard choices at home despite the possibility of triggering further serious civil unrest.
Russia: Oil and gas account for around 50% of government revenue and a drop in the price of crude from $100 per barrel to $80 would stand to shrink GDP by around 2 percentage points; this at a time when the economy is already set to struggle. However, I doubt very much that this would lead to any softening of Russia's stance on Ukraine. Indeed, my concern is that, especially in the run-up to parliamentary elections due in December 2015, growing socio-economic tensions would encourage President Vladimir Putin to seek more foreign policy "distractions."
Indonesia: One early test for the incoming administration is the vexed question of fuel subsidies. Arguably, the recent drop in the price of crude – coupled with the current timing relative to Indonesia's electoral cycle – makes this an ideal time to cut the current subsidy and place Indonesia's economy on a firmer footing in the medium term. However, I expect some advisors to argue that the drop makes the need for a fuel price hike redundant. Where President Joko Widodo comes down on this issue will certainly be seen by investors as a clear indication of wider reform intent.
Among emerging market energy names, Brazil's Petroleo Brasilerio (PBR) was a big loser Monday, down 6.2%, but its fate has more to do with Sunday's presidential elections than the price of oil, this week. Shares of Russian oil producer Rosneft (OJSCY and ROSN.Russia) fell 0.6% today in local trading, but the U.S.-traded shares fell 4%. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) rose 0.3% today.
Deutsche Bank currency analysts recommend covering underweight positions in Venuezuela bonds after the government took "a small step towards overdue devaluation."
Drausio Giacomelli, Robert Burgess and Hongtao Jiang explain what happened Thursday, and offer their bond recommendations:
"The government allowed the local currency needs of FONDEN, the discretionary expenditure fund, to be obtained by selling dollars to the Central Bank at "any of the officials exchange rates." We expect that the exchange rate used to supply the local currency needs of FONDEN will be the SICAD 2 rate (around 50 VEF/USD), effectively decreasing the hard currency needs of the fund. This could also imply increased local currency expenditure ahead of the national assembly elections in 2015. It is important to note that this change does not imply that PDSVA will be able to sell all its dollar contributions to FONDEN at the lower exchange rate of 50 VEF/USD to the Central Bank, as some press reports (El Nacional) claimed after the document was published in the Official Gazette. In fact, the calculations of its contribution linked to oil prices – the bulk of PDVSA's contribution to FONDEN – have not been modified.
Nevertheless, we deem this change as positive given that it is an extra step to the validation of a more depreciated exchange rate. It is also positive … [that] will likely help put a stop to the widening gap between the official rates and the parallel exchange rate. Finally, this will also likely help alleviate Venezuela's fiscal pressure (though this will depend on whether and how much the government will further increase spending). Bond prices have bounced sharply from the recent lows, but remain 15 point lower than the highs reached this summer. While we retain our bearish view on the outlook for macroeconomic conditions and policy direction of the country, we feel it appropriate to tactically cover our existing underweight position at this juncture, as this policy change – while far from sufficient if no further measures are unveiled – will likely at least help halt further slides in the bond prices over the near term, while the yields look very attractive for investors at the moment. We current favor the PDVSA bonds to their counterparts on the sovereign curve – especially at the shorter end where the 17s look cheap – and also see a number of relative value opportunities on the curve, such as switching to the 23s from 20s and 27s on the sovereign curve and staying short basis."
The iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF) is up 1.6% today, but has fallen 9% in the past month. For traders, The Direxion Daily Latin America Bull 3X Shares ETF (LBJ) is up 4% today, but has tumbled nearly 27% over the past four weeks.
It is not just fear, but panic that Venezuela could default on its credit obligations in October. And hedge funds are piling in.
But is that ill placed? Callaway Capital Management is one hedge fund gobbling up Venezuela debt. Co-founder Daniel Freifeld, quoted by Bloomberg today, argues that Venezuela has enough money to pay short-term debt, even with projections for the worst economic contraction since 2009. Venezuela is facing down a $4.5 billion payment due in October.
Standard & Poor's cut Venezuela's credit rating to CCC+ and predicted at least a 50% chance of default within two years. Bloomberg notes that the Venezuela debt selloff is the worst in emerging markets. Venezuela government bonds yield 15.7% on average, the highest yield among emerging markets.
Bloomberg writes:
"The CCC+ rating, which is in the lowest category of speculative grades, implies that Venezuela is "currently vulnerable to non-payment." … [But] with default rates falling as central banks hold down borrowing costs and flood the financial markets with trillions of dollars of cheap cash, Venezuela is emerging as an alternative for hedge funds looking to invest in distressed assets."
In Argentina, it is hedge funds that have been the holdouts in seeking full reimbursement following Argentina's July debt default. Argentine Pres. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, in New York for the United Nations meetings, met on Monday with billionaire investor George Soros, Reuters said. Soros owns shares of Argentine oil-and-gas exploration company YPF (YPF).
Soros' Quantum Partners hedge fund is among four creditors that sued BNY Mellon (BK) in August for its role as trustee in the Argentine bond default saga.
The iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF) is down more than 1% today. For traders, The Direxion Daily Latin America Bull 3X Shares ETF (LBJ) is down 2.89% today.
Clorox could see lower earnings from the impact of departing Venezuela.
On Monday, Clorox (CLX) announced it will discontinue operations immediately in Venezuela, and will seek to sell assets there. Shares of Clorox jumped 7% Monday, but are down 1.9% today. The shares at a recent $95.51 are just a few points below their 52-week high of $98.31.
The S&P 500 is down 0.33% in afternoon trading. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is down 0.5%, while The iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF) is down 1.3%.
Credit Suisse, which has an underperform rating, raised its price target to $84 from $78, and sees the move as a positive:
Clorox's decision to exit its loss-making Venezuelan operations amid an extremely difficult operating environment was in the best interest of the company's shareholders. For nearly three years, Clorox Venezuela was required to sell more than two-thirds of its products at prices frozen by the Venezuelan government, while at the same time the company, experienced massive increases in costs. Had the company continued operating in Venezuela, it would have continued to experience losses as the price increases approved by the government were insufficient to cover rising costs. We are increasing our target price to $84 from $78 and our fiscal 2015 estimate to $4.42 from $4.40, as we expect top-line growth and margins to experience a modest uplift. Clorox is maintaining its $4.35-$4.50 EPS and flat sales outlook for fiscal 2015.
Barclays , which has an Underweight rating and $76 price target on Clorox, says the announcement wasn't a surprise, but it sees risk in the outlook for 2015:
"Notably, Clorox has not changed its fiscal 2015 outlook … we believe a roughly 5-cent-per-share drag from Venezuela was included in that guidance. Clorox previously assumed it would get some pricing through, and that its operating losses would be roughly half the level of those in fiscal 2014 (i.e. from ~$23 million to ~$10-$12 million). We note that the company had not assumed a devaluation in its outlook …"
See "Clorox: Time To Take Profits?" and "Veneuzela's Default Risk Overpriced, Despite Citgo Sale Implications," Sept. 17.
Some emerging market reading:
India: India will negotiate free-trade agreements with "complementary" countries in Latin America, Africa and elsewhere to boost exports and narrow its trade deficit. That's a departure from the previous administration's accords with developed nations. More about India free-trade agreements on LiveMint/The Wall Street Journal. The iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA) fell 0.79% Thursday.
Middle East: Short or long? Some exchange-traded funds have been wildly successful by investing in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries where many fear to tread. One, The WisdomTree Middle East Dividend ETF (GULF), holds 70 names, seeks to own stocks that pay regular dividends, and has produced a one-year return of 40%. In light of new Obama Administration resolve on combating Islamic extremists and terrorism at the border of Syria and Iraq, a description of three Middle East funds from Bezinga.
Turkey: A survey shows Turkish people have an improving opinion of Europe and the West. An expert quoted by Bloomberg attributes the change to relativism: violence in the Middle East has soured some Turks who were optimistic about their neighbors after the Arab Spring. Conversely, sentiment toward Turkey declined among U.S. and European people surveyed by the German Marshall Fund of the United States. More from Bloomberg. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) fell 1.89% Thursday.
Venezuela: Could Venezuela default on its debt obligations? In a piece in the Financial Times today, Russ Dallen of Caracas Capital Markets says default probability has moved much higher, but is unlikely. However, because Venezuela accounts for 7% of emerging market benchmarks, a default could force redemptions in index-tracking funds, and Venezuela's misfortune could impact many investors. Only about $3 billion of Venezuela's $21 billion in reserves is liquid. Venezuela hopes to sell its U.S. Citgo refining operations, which could bring as much as $10 billion.

Australian Football League Apparel Sales Down
Published April 2, 2003
The AUSTRALIAN reports that the Australian Football League (AFL) has seen "apparel sales plunge almost 50[%] in only two years," as '02 sales totaled AU$11.04M, down from AU$15M in '01 and AU$20.9M in '00. Beginning in '01, the AFL "changed the way it sold apparel, which is divided into supporter wear such as T-shirts and caps and on-field apparel." It "stripped out many second-tier manufacturers in favor of multi-nationals such as adidas, Fila, Nike, Puma and Russell Athletic. The smaller sportswear firms traditionally had supplied about half of the AFL's apparel lines, usually at the cheaper end of the market, and the league had hoped the multi-nationals would fill the gap" (AUSTRALIAN, 3/27).

vegan breakfast ideas
We're currently on a rotation of pancakes, oatmeal, steel cut oats with apples in the crockpot, quinoa with pecans and blackberries, couscous with walnuts and raisins, and acai with bananas and muesli. Would love some new inspiration. Please and thanks!
re: ferret
mmm...I love that! thank you ferret.
Just discovered soaked oats and am quite enamored. I use uncooked rolled oats, homemade cashew milk, slivered almonds, gogi and mullberries, chia seeds and grated apple. Lots of potential variations and additions possible. Combine in a bowl, cover overnight and ready to eat in morning.
re: climberdoc
wow--sounds incredible. Going to try that...thanks!!
re: climberdoc
I do something similar, but with dates and almonds. I also use rice milk. It's great!
Cinnamon buns (without eggs or butter)?
If you're in the South, grits. :)
Other baked goods, like banana-nut muffins or cherry strudel.
Granola / granola bars
Dry cereal (I like Cracklin' Oat Bran as a snack myself)
Stewed-prune compote
Cinnamon-raisin toast (no butter)
Biscuits with soy-crumble gravy -- not sure what you'd do to replace the milk/cream, though.
Congee (rice porrige)
Wheat porrige (cream of wheat)
Scones or Welsh cakes, with appropriate substitutions.
(I've heard that ground flaxseed can substitute for eggs in baking but haven't tried it myself).
Not that many great vegan breakfast ideas that are quick to prep and not too sugary / carb laden (compared to the options that open up when you eat eggs). A few things that I like for breakfast:
* muffins (make a batch, then freeze them); sometimes eat with nut butter or peanut butter.
* savory porridge - make rice porridge (congee) or steel cut oats (this can be made in a rice-cooker with a timer, or you can make in advance and re-heat). Top with green onion, and a pinch of salt, and add some of the great toppings that are vegan available at the Chinese market - jarred wheat gluten puffs (with or without peanuts), pickled bamboo with chili (some brands have lactic acid - not sure if derived from beets or from dairy, but watch out if this is a big concern, fermented tofu cubes, pickled radish, pickled 'lettuce', etc.
* Also, you can get some vegetarian frozen pancakes at the Asian market that are pretty good. I eat the Wei-Chuan radish pie a lot, as well as a "toona" pie (this is pretty plain tasting, but has some kind of herb or leaf in it).
* Toaster waffles, or pre-make / freeze vegan waffles.
Tofu scrambles, chilaquiles (with or without tofu). are also great, but I find tend to be more prep intensive than I want for weekday breakfasts when I'm in a hurry.
Since the weather has gotten warmer, I've been on a green smoothie breakfast kick. Just toss items in a blender with a couple of ice cubes and you're done. I use either baby spinach or kale as the "green" and a frozen banana, plus 1/4-1/2 cup almond milk as the smoothie base. My favorite add ins include a tbs of almond butter, vanilla protein powder, and a handful of frozen blueberries. You can really get creative with whatever you have in the kitchen. And although the drink doesn't look beautiful, it's actually pretty delicious.
re: Olivia
yum. sounds nice!
re: phelana
sounds deliciously breakfasty to me!
re: Olivia
This is a staple around here. I use mushrooms and spinach with some garlic, nutritional yeast, and salt and pepper. I've also done a green chile and corn in a tortillas with salsa. Sometimes we do Ezekiel bread with a freezer jam.
Inspired by the Asian section of breakfasts buffets when I travel, I will often make a variation of miso soup with diced scallions, tofu and assorted vegetables, sprinkled with wakame. For a heartier version I will add rice noodles.
When tomatoes are at peak season I am known to go on a long run of tomato sandwiches for breakfast. Sliced tomatoes on whole wheat toast with spinach, sprouts, hummus and whatever sliced veggies I have on hand. While I try to avoid having too much processed meat substitutes, a slice of smoked vegan turkey or ham works quite well here.
I tend to have one or two sandwich spreads on hand (egg-less salad, un-tuna-salad, 'chick' salad or ground cashew/carrot salad) and make a sandwich with spinach or lettuce for an on-the-go breakfast.
I will also make a salad and fruit plate with a slice of toast for breakfast.
I make a 'sausage patty" with with mashed beans, oatmeal, egg replacer, ground flax seed and whatever seasoning I have on hand. I found an Italian sausage seasoning that works well. I had to play around with the ingredients for the right texture and seasoning. I make enough for a few days. In the morning, I saute a patty and in a separate pan I will steam a variety of greens and vegetables. Serve the pattie on top of the greens and drizzle with a good miso ginger dressing. We try to incorporate "greens and beans' into our diet as much as possible and I found this works for a good hearty breakfast.
Our Sunday family breakfast usually includes hash browns, slow roasted tomato, tofu scramble and/or a 'sausage' patty, fruit salad and toast.
re: Windsor
windsor, thanks! I would love your recipes for eggless, untuna, chick salad and ground cashew carrot salad if you have a free moment. thanks for the inspiration!
I find half a toasted whole-grain English muffin (I like the multigrain ones from Trader Joe's, which are reasonably high in fiber and protein) spread with natural peanut or almond butter, perhaps with a little drizzle of honey or a spoonful of preserves or fruit spread, very satisfying along with a piece of fruit. Ditto a sliced apple spread with peanut or almond butter and sprinkled with cinnamon.
Hummus in a sandwich or wrap with veggies (or just spread on warmed pita) is also a nice breakfast.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Honey isn't vegan. Not trying to be rude, just more of an FYI.
re: sisterfunkhaus
Yes, of course; I realize that and noticed after the fact that I'd mentioned it in this thread. Obviously, I'm not vegan, but that doesn't affect my recommendation, subtracting the honey, and I hope no one minds my error. It's not rude to make the point at all, in my book!
I always get into a breakfast rut too, so I keep an inspirational list:
Toast or English Muffin with Almond Butter and an orange
Oatmeal with stewed prunes
Wheatberries with scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil
Baked beans on toast
Miso soup with bok choy
Quinoa, berry, and nuts bowl
ful medames
Avocado and tomato on toast
oatmeal topped with mushrooms, peas/greens, black pepper
Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal with molasses
Lentil soup
Grapenuts with almond milk and berries or banana
roasted potatoes and peppers with refried beans
beans, guacamole, and veggies in a whole wheat tortilla
re: jennymoon
Mm - love ful medames, and that's also quick and easy if you're using canned ful. Not everyone's cup of, well, breakfast, but that is when it's traditionally eaten. Non vegans might like to include a boiled egg as well.
re: losangeles
I'm also into green smoothies for breakfast - unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 a small banana, some romaine, TONS of baby spinach, maybe some cantaloupe or some peanut butter - if you use berries, it'll come out a little gray, but if you use cantaloupe/some other light-colored fruit, it'll be beautiful and bright green and you won't taste the spinach strongly at all.
Otherwise, why not go the Asian breakfast route as someone suggested (I loved eating noodles w/tons of veg when we were in China), and/or think outside the breakfast-food box? I often eat leftover dinner items for breakfast - they tend to have lots of protein and fiber and keep me more full for longer than oats and other traditional breakfast fare.
We make tofu scrambles every Sunday, I find them to be very easy and flexible. Basically crumble up some tofu, add some nutritional yeast, a little turmeric, mustard and whatever herbs you like. Saute any vegs you happen to have on hand, then add the tofu and stir around until hot. Tastes much better than it sounds. I'm a meat eater, and I happily eat this alongside my vegan husband.
re: prunefeet
Agree! Love tofu scrambles!
In addition to all of the excellent ideas above, I'll toss in the idea of vegan crepes. There are many recipes out there. I make a batch and freeze them if there are any left. We fill them with fresh fruit that we get at our local farmers market (berries, peaches, apples, etc.), serve them with maple syrup, jam or a little melted chocolate. We also use them with a mixture of sauteed spinach, a little "cheese sauce" and some soy based sour cream for a more savory treat. (Just leave any sweeteners out of the crepes recipe if you go this route.)
I used to make vegan pancakes and French toast, but am trying to diet and found them a bit heavy for the morning. None the less, there are some excellent recipes for both of those familiar treats.
In the summer, I do a lot of smoothies and find that they really start the day off right. I do not use a recipe and just toss in whatever I have, sometimes adding almond milk and sometimes adding juice.
Love all of the great ideas here. Thanks for starting this topic.
we love almond or sunny butter and banana and or apple sandwiches on whole grain bread for breakfast. It keeps us going for many hours,
Got a Vitamix or blentec.
Drink your breakfast ...
4oz of pomgranete juice
4oz water
few frozen blueberries, few frozen cherries, few frozen mango chunks
big handful of baby kale
1tablespoon chia seeds
blend, drink & enjoy yum !!!
During the cooler weather I make muffins (blueberry, apple/peanut butter, banana/nut, etc) and a variety of breakfast breads (sweet potato/pecan/cranberry, zucchini/tahini, etc.) I usually make them one evening or on the weekend and then they last several days. Sometimes we have open-face peanut butter and fruit spread on toast for breakfast.
Fried potatoes with salsa. Mesa Sunrise from Nature's Path with bananas, strawberries, or currants and almond mylk.
When traveling we sometimes have chips with salsa or rice cakes with hummus or nut butter; or cookies and fruit (banana, apple, cherries, grapes).
Smashed avocado, grilled tomato, lemon juice, salt and cracked pepper on grainy toast.
Bananas rolled/filled with almond/peanut butter and (optional) honey and rolled in nuts/muesli/coconut/chia/flax seeds.
Rasberries and blue berries with chia and vegan milk
Orange, peach and passionfruit
Banana and peanut butter
This girl has tons http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/ <check her out there are so good
Also chia pudding, soaked chia seeds in almond milk it goes all fluffy and cool
Homemade vegan bars with dates and nuts etc
Tofu mushroom, peppers, tomatoes scramble
Try this cookie dough (healthy!) vegan breakfast bowl http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012...
It's amazing! Good luck <3
(I know some vegans who eat honey so that's why it's optional <3 )

I finally finished packing my bag for the hospital. I have my bag, and the babies' bag on a chair by the door. It makes it seem more real, and exciting. I've read that twin moms should have bags ready by 30 weeks. Anyone else got bags packed, and ready to go?
Hospital bag
Lol, I know what you mean. My mom, who's had seven kids, told me to not let my husband or father pack it for me under any circumstance. She said that if I want cute, matching clothes that fit me, I better pack it myself. I feel like I am one step closer now, but I still hope to make it to at least 36 weeks. I guess we'll see.
i have it mostly packed, but i still use my pj pants, makeup, etc so i keep having to unpack stuff and wash it and repack lol. But it gives me something to do :) Babies bag is packed though! and camera bag ready to go with charged battery and empty memory cards.
Drew & Jake 11/9/12 Boy #3 Bennett Owen due 10/25/14 blog
I have been slacking on that, but I know I need to get it packed within the next few days. I have had the baby bag packed for a week or so now, but I haven't even started on mine. I want to go get one of the little travel kits to put in my bag so I don't have to lug around the big shampoos, etc. I was also thinking about installing the carseat bases into our van soon. I have a gut feeling these babies are coming way earlier than we expect unfortunately. I do have one of my hospital stay outfits ready too, but with me more than likely having a c-section, I'm pretty sure I will need a few more.
~Ashley~ Mommy of Trenten (7 yrs), Treycen (6 yrs), Colsen and Emmalyn (6 month old twins)
I am really hoping I won't have to have a c-section. Both of my babies are head down, and have been for over a month now. Baby A is engaged pretty well, so I am praying for a vaginal delivery. Just in case, I brought two pairs of soft pajamas, and two comfortable outfits for me. I am hoping that will work either way.
I just packed mine yesterday...it makes life seem way more exciting now seeing those bags just waiting for us!
Did you all pack diapers & wipes, or is that something I can leave at home? They take up like a whole extra bag! (Welcome to our lives, huh?)
I'm scared to pack mine - I'm with Megan, it seems like the minute I pack, it'll all start to happen! We actually have 4 bags to pack between us, the babies and our 4 year old, so I really DO need to get it done... Just a silly superstition I guess!

Flashback Friday With Lou Reed and Flo + Eddie, Circa 1978
Maybe on the surface, the Turtles and the Velvet Underground seem worlds apart.
Maybe on the surface, the Turtles and the Velvet Underground seem worlds apart.
Listen to a startlingly clear live version of the Velvet Underground's 'I'm Waiting For the Man' from 1969.
Oct. 27 marks the one year anniversary of the death of Lou Reed. To commemorate it, John Cale shared a tribute of 'If You Were Still Around.'
There are several surprises in the public poll for the official nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2015.
The 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees have been announced, and the roster is stacked with some of the biggest artists of our generation -- like Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, and finally, the Smiths.
When Lou Reed passed away last year, the tributes and accolades came flying fast and furious, strong and sincere.
According to the New York Post, late rock legend Lou Reed left behind way more than a decades-long music legacy.
Ever wanted to own a piece of equipment that maybe had something to do with 'I'm Waiting for the Man,' 'Sweet Jane' or any of the other classic songs the late Lou Reed wrote and recorded?
We defy you, absolutely defy you, to get more than two minutes into Lou Reed's 'Metal Machine Music.'

The next best sedan is Hyundai is Verna. The petrol engines are equally competitive in their category and has given mileage of 10-13kmpl within the city limits and 15kmpl while being driven over highway with the moderate utilization of AC. It is complete blend of performance and power by which most of the owners are satisfied with. It is preferred for its excellent handling and stability when driven in high speed. EPS assisted power steering enhances the handling of the car at various speed; clutch pedal and accelerator are smooth enough.
