Should you entrust your systems management to the cloud?
Cloud-based security and systems management (CSSM) applications have been going through my lab for testing lately and I find myself seriously weighing their use in production. Anyone who regularly reads my column knows that I am not exactly the biggest fan of the cloud, but the quality of the CSSM applications I have …
In a word
The problem is not cloud/no cloud but one of discipline and foresight
Your comment about the decision of doing something by hand vs. using a tool to automate it rang a bell on my head.
I've seen it too many times to count: the "small change" gets undocumented and done on a few places, then basically forgotten about. Or worse, ends up done on thousands of places but still nobody bothers to document or script it. In a few years, you'll have accumulated a couple of dozens of these, and the end result will be that building something requires... 24 manual changes and you'll be not very sure of which have to be applied where.
What the cloud triggers is the realization that keep going this way in the long term is expensive and unsustainable. Only in the cloud you see the $$$ value pretty clearly when you're forced to keep multiple images around, juggle them and pay for them.
If you adopt the discipline instead, you'll be able to manage things much easier and cheaper, cloud or not cloud. Of course, it requires a level of foresight that is not usually what business managers are up to. Just get it done now as quickly and cheaply as possible, we'll worry about the consequences later...
Deploy once..
..pwn anywhere..
Especially when using software from a vendor who insists they know about security and controllability better than you do and specialises in insecure point 'n drool setups..
Only for those who don't know what they are doing.
What I got from the article is.
A) If you are very large company, it is worth investing the time in tools.
B) If you are medium sized company, it difficult to know whether the tool save any time money.
C) If you are a small company and don't know what you are doing. The cloud tools can make it seem easy, and allow you to do the mundane tasks yourself.
I can't see the cloud based ones taking the industry by storm. Generally because if you like the cloud, you would have put all your stuff there already.
Good article
I'm currently working on getting CA's horrible management suite working in an on-premises environment, so I can definitely relate.
All of these systems management tools (SCCM, Altiris, CA IT Client Manager, Tivoli, etc etc etc) are a huge amount of work to get working for most environments. The other problem is that some of them are designed as consultantware -- 60% of the functionality works out of the box. When you go try to set up the other 40%, it's either so poorly documented or has layers of complexity that just aren't worth figuring out on your own, that you need to call the vendor in.
The only two products I've seen that you can get to about 90% functionality without severe teeth-pulling are System Center and Altiris. This is mainly because they generate human-readable log files and the vendors publish OK documentation. The CA tool I'm currently working with is...interesting. Remember Unicenter from the 90s? That product is still there in the core of it all, complete with a fully proprietary communications protocol that only CA seems to know how to debug. Like I said, most of it works, but trying to figure out some of the stranger bits is an absolute pain in the butt (and wallet, if you have to go the consulting route.) Bottom line is that systems management tools are all complex. Some of the newer entries might have less legacy crap gumming up the works, but it's actually a lot of work getting a tool to distribute software, pull inventory, etc. reliably across platforms.
if your not a fan
then you should install this plugin if you haven't already, makes reading about cloud enjoyable.
To quote the last paragraph of your article
"The value of the service trumps the risks – real and imagined – of it being in my butt."
chrome(I use firefox):
(I have used that for the past 8-9 months now, I wish I could add other words easily to be replaced but haven't figured out how)
if your not a fan
If you're not a fan. Auuuugh!
Also: what, what, in the butt.

Dubai International Film Festival 2013
What you need to know about Dubai's blockbusting film event Discuss this article
In 2004 the inaugural Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) hosted just one world premiere. Now celebrating its tenth anniversary when the reels roll again from December 6-14, this year's festival will screen 70 films that have never seen a public projector before.
That's not the only thing that has swelled in size for this 170-film landmark edition – for the first time the festival will host two gala screenings on most days, meaning there are twice as many reasons to get dolled up and walk down the Madinat's red carpet. Speaking of the red carpet, this year's line-up is bursting at the seams with visiting talent: Martin Sheen, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Abigail Breslin and Irfann Khan are among those confirmed to attend.
Other additions for this anniversary festival include a new programme of free outdoor screenings hosted nightly at Burj Park, and the first Cinematic Innovations Summit, which will see 200 leading industry types, including Pixar co-founder Alvy Ray Smith and Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis, talk about the future of the medium at Atlantis The Palm, December 5-6.
Big screens and bigger names
The core of the festival is still the movies – of which there are a whopping 174 features, shorts and documentaries, drawn from 57 countries and in 43 languages, cherry picked from more than 3,500 submissions. That's 60 percent more than last year.
Among them are Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts drama August: Osage County, Labor Day starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin, acclaimed biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and a closing night world premiere of David O'Russell's American Hustle, starring Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper.
Notably, there are more Arabic films than ever, with just over 100 in total – including the symbolic opening night screening of Palestinian hit Omar, which first premiered at Cannes in May. 'We decided to go back to our roots and celebrate Arabic cinema,' explains DIFF Chairman Abdulhamid Juma. 'We wanted to send a message – this is Dubai, not France or America.' The message seems to have got through loud and clear; for the first time the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will be sending a delegation to review potential Oscar nominees.
Other dates for the diary include a commemorative gig from Arab superstar Amr Diab at Burj Park on December 6, the Dhs367,000 IWC Filmmaker Award on December 7, with Blanchett heading the jury for a second year running, and the star-studded Dubai Cares and Oxfam gala dinner on December 11, with Rooney Mara, Mark Ruffallo and Zac Efron expected to be on the guestlist. Oh, and if you've missed any of the previous festivals DIFF are celebrating the anniversary by making every film previously screened available on iTunes.
DIFF tickets
Paid-for screenings will this year take place at Madinat Arena, Madinat Theatre and Vox Cinema Mall of the Emirates, while there will also be free screenings in Burj Park. Paid screenings start from Dhs30 per film. Several movies will have multiple screenings – for a full schedule and to purchase tickets, visit www.diff.ae.By Rob Garratt

In Advance of the Ferguson Grand Jury, What Have We Learned?
The grand jury in the Ferguson case is expected to meet today in what could be its final session. If a decision is made, it will likely not be made public until at least Sunday because the prosecutors are expected to provide law enforcement 48 hours notice. The FBI has warned that the decision will likely lead to violence by some individuals and Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has already declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard. As we approach this decision, it is important to reflect on how we can address the root problems that allowed the August 9 shooting and subsequent events to occur. The reports and articles below discuss what we can learn from Ferguson, how we can improve police and community relations and why it is important to prevent discrimination and promote diversity.
A 2012 report by the American Psychological Association (APA) called "Dual Pathways to a Better America: Preventing Discrimination and Promoting Diversity" aims to address the societal challenge of eliminating bias, prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination as well as their deleterious effects on both victims and perpetrators. A task force of experts was assembled to identify and promote interventions to counteract and prevent these harmful actions and to examine the benefits of promoting inclusion, respect, acceptance and appreciation of diversity.
A September article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch explains how psychologists and psychological research can help Ferguson heal. The writers explain that our nation must "commit to the complex and difficult work of change" to address the distrust between law enforcement and communities of color, militarized policing, entrenched inequalities, and racism and discrimination. This change can start with honest conversations and dialogues about race relations and the persistence of racism in America.
The public interest sector of the APA also launched a blog series about race, racism and law enforcement in communities of color. One of the posts, by Dr. Ellen Schriver, discusses the need for effective community policing with an emphasis on community relationships as a way of preventing crime and keeping communities safe.
Another post, by Dr. Tom Tyler, identifies teachable moments from the tragedy. He explains that the most important factor in whether or not the public trust the police is whether they believe the police or fairly exercising their authority. He explains that "if people see the police acting with justice, they respond with trust."
As we prepare for the decision in this controversial case, we hope that the community and the country as a whole will work to address the underlying issues that brought about this tragedy and improve race relations and police relations across the country.

Pigeon: Search Engine Land's Name For The New Google Local Search Update
Last night, Google released a pretty significant local search algorithm update. Google told us there was no internal name for the update, but now that we see that it was fairly significant, we decided to give it a name: Pigeon.
Pigeon is the name we decided on because this is a local search update and pigeons tend to fly back home.
When the Google Panda update launched, there was no official name from Google, so we named it the "Farmer" update. A few days later, Google told us they internally named it the Panda update. So we switched names from Farmer to Panda to avoid that confusion.
Since this update was nameless at Google, we named it the Pigeon update so that we have a name to reference in the future.
For more details on this update, see our story from last night.

Fresh Daily - Pastelz
Artist: Fresh Daily
Featuring: Theo Martins
Producer: Muneshine
Album: Anmlhse Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 14 votes )
I know what you're thinking, but no; Pastelz, the brand new single from Fresh Daily, isn't about those things you were forced to draw with in high school art class. Or maybe I was the only one thinking that. In any case, those who prefer summer jams to smeary crayons are likely to dig what the Brooklyn rapper (and exclusive freestyle series contributor) serves up on his latest feature, a mellow track which finds the artist addressing the evergreen topic of warm-weather recreation over the hazy sample work of Muneshine. Knowing that long, lazy summer days are best spent with good friends, the headliner enlists the guest verse services of Rhode Island native Theo Martins, who spends his opening verse laying out the perfect summer day. A perfect joint to flip on in your whip during a leisurely drive through the city streets, Pastelz is set for inclusion on Fresh's forthcoming Anmlhse promo mixtape, which has yet to receive a release date. Keep it locked for further details!

- Great food & serviceMollyDined on 11/26/2014We celebrated my birthday at Benihana's. The service was fantastic. The waitress was very clear on our options & any extra charges. The chef was very entertaining & personable. It's so wonderful the attention that is paid to the children. And of course, the food was amazing. I had the chateaubriand, my husband had the chicken & the kids had chicken fried rice & noodles. My chateaubriand was perfectly prepared & delicious. I needed a takeout box because it was impossible to eat it all. A great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- we had an excellent eveningOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/20/2014We had a new chef ....Daniel.He did a great job entertaining our group of 11!!! Our food was all cooked to individual requests...very hard to do! It was awesomeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing!!Food4meDined on 11/17/2014The restaurant had major operating issues this night! Normally a good experience but not this evening!! Thank goodness the server & chef were kind!Special Features:
- Good but could be betterBrianDined on 11/14/2014Great dining experience, and the food tasted great. It seems like this time I got less food than last time. I actually wasn't satisfied from my meal (hunger-wise) especially for the entree costing $30. Everyone at the table was given rice; however, they didn't make enough fried rice for me. I am not sure if this was a miscommunication, but the server brought me fresh, hot fried rice from somewhere and made it right. Service was good, and chef was friendly and fun. I expect a little more food for price paid.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another solid experienceRealBakerDined on 11/11/2014My girlfriend and I go to eat here twice a year, for our birthdays. The food is great, its always fun to watch the live cooking. Sushi is fresh and tasty and the drink selection is fun and different. Definitely worth a visit. though a little pricey. You do get plenty of food though. Try lunch if your not sure, Lunch is a lot cheaper.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rude cookShaeDined on 11/10/2014The cook he didn't cut the food up how we asked also once we asked he was being very rude an still didn't do it it was like he was rushing then they forgot something on my order just a very bad experienceSpecial Features:
- 待ち時間が多いFrankDined on 11/5/2014予約をしていってもかなりまたされます。 また、席についてからもかなり待ちます。時間に非常にルーズなレストラン
- DisappointmentnstuderDined on 11/4/2014I was very dissatisfied with our experience. We had reservations at 7:30 for a party of 3. We checked in at arrival (7:20) and had a seat in the lounge. At 8:15 I asked if we would be seated soon, to find out they had already "accidentally" seated us. The manager apologized and said we would be next on the list. At 8:45 I complained again, only to be told the same thing... we had already been seated. After showing my extreme disappointment, the manager apologized again, found a seat right away and gave us a discount. Although she corrected the mistakes, I wish we would have had better service. We ended up not eating dinner until 9:45 that evening!Special Features:
- MaryAnnVIPDined on 11/4/2014Food is always very good. Chef was exceptional. His showmanship and skills were fun to watch. Had reservations, but had to wait only a brief time which was good.Special Features:
- Great!Lizzie4Dined on 11/1/2014took my husband there for a date. It was his first time going. We both had a fantastic time. Arlondo was our chef and he was great to. It's more fun if you go with a group of people you know. We had to sit with 2 different families that wouldn't talk or even smile. But we still had fun! Amazing food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BenihanaOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014Great Food - Great Entertainment - The food melts in your mouth....The soup is 2 die for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go For Your BirthdayrcoxDined on 10/30/2014Benihana's is a unique, and fun experience - but it can be pricey. HOWEVER, if you sign up on their web site to be a part of their Chef's Table - you will receive a $30 coupon! That really helps make this affordable. The service is very good.Special Features:
- It was fun but...Darksammyknite24Dined on 10/30/2014It was a fun experience and the best shrimp I ever had but for those prices? Yeah my wife could make tastier steak and chicken. You are paying for the show and as fun as it is just didn't feel worth it, it didn't meet my expectations especially compared to what I've seen on commercials and word of mouth that hyped it up for meSpecial Features:
- Was my worst experience yet.FlawlessdivaDined on 10/27/2014My reservation was at 8pm did not get seated until 9pm. Was forced to purchase a second meal even though I had 4 others with me for my Birthday. Being that I was asked to purchase an additional meal. I asked for another place setting because I had another guest that was arriving late. They would not allow it either. Reservation stated that I wanted to have my own table. Because I may have extra guest. They did not do it. The service was poor. Did not receive my drink until the end of my meal. And was greeted with "What" when I tried to ask about it. My Birthday was ruined.
- one word A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!BarnettFamilyDined on 10/26/2014Simply fantastic! Perfect food! Cant get enough of it. An Hour and A half drive but way worth it, food is so delicious never a disappointment. Cant wait to take the family back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could be betterPatriotVIPDined on 10/24/2014Have been coming to these "hibachi" style Japanese restaurants for years. This one in particular has seen better days. The restaurant has been somewhat updated recently which has helped but the service has not improved and the food is too expensive for the price. The waiter and the table-side chef were good but the front desk staff was slow and inefficient.Special Features:
- Delicious!2FieryVIPDined on 10/23/2014Our chef Alex prepared a delicious meal from start to finish. The scallops were cooked to perfection. It was a great birthday dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- kitchDined on 10/21/2014it took an hour after we were seated before our chef came out to prepare our mealSpecial Features:
- CostlyLadyFlemDined on 10/18/2014I had a good time at Benihana, howevere they charged us ALL a 18% service charge because we had a group os 8. Seeing how most meals are over $20 anyway, I found this a bit costly.Special Features:
- Awesomeschaefer83VIPDined on 10/17/2014Awesome as always. Great service! Amazing food. Chef did a great job.Special Features:
- Terrific TeppanyakiFoodie21VIPDined on 10/14/2014We were visiting from out of town and decided to host dinner for family at Benihana. The food was delicious and the service excellent!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/11/2014I'm not sure if this is an Open Table issue or a Bennihanna issue, but when I made the reservation, I specifically typed in that our group was celebrating my wife's birthday. The table next to us had a birthday and everybody sang to that person. I would have thought Bennihanna would have done something for a birthday, whether sing to the person or bring them a small desert with a candle in it. I was very disappointed that her birthday was not recognized when that was the whole point of bringing a group to this setting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AMAZING!!!BarnettFamilyDined on 10/10/2014Benihana is simply fantastic! extremely kid friendly, the food is always superb and fresh cooked to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant to and and everyone, fit for all ages. my kids have been coming here since the were still in their car seats, they are now ages 4 and 6. just one word ADDICTION! haha, can't get enough of the food. we always leave stuffed with smiles on our faces and great memories to share later down the road. THANK YOU BENIHANA!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food and FunggaaDined on 10/7/2014Get a good meal and be entertained at the same time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- could have been betterOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/6/2014I often crave Benihana. But this time it was just okay. The chef's always tend to do things different. Well I like the taste of the garlic butter which is their signature. He didn't use enough in my opinion. Also I don't like that he didn't let the spicy seasoning savor into my spicy hibachi chicken. It is spicy for a reason. Let's get it right next time Arolondo please and thank you.Special Features:
- birthdaygirlDined on 10/4/2014Overall, we enjoyed our eperience. Our chef was fun, server efficient. While I know that timing of reservations can be a problem, we did have a reservation and waited 30 minutes for our table. After the voicemail warning I received regarding late arrival, I felt that perhaps I would receive the same courtesy for arriving on time for our reservations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice place to treat yourselfNubianDined on 9/27/2014Environment was nice. Would have been more favorable if would have had the option of not eating with people that had children with them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeJohnDDined on 9/24/2014Chef was very entertaining. The food was great and the server did an excellent job.Special Features:
- poor front of houseveryunhappybirthdayDined on 9/21/2014We arrived on a Sunday at 4pm and were told it would 45mins to an hour wait leaning more towards an hour the restaurant was empty because we had no reservation. I went online and booked a reservation and got in faster. However the show was the worst for the amount of money we paid. It was an awful birthday dinner except for our waitress who was better at interacting than our chef. I will never return.
- Great Birthday DinnerlillyicanDined on 9/20/2014We went their for my daughters 24th birthday's ... It has been a while since we had been their, before they remodeled... I thought the place looked great, nice and clean looking... the service was much better everyone was very friendly and nice. We had an awesome chef (Adrian) he made our dinner experience very fun, and the food was delicious. Love the fried rice.. cant wait to go back...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fun night for mom and daughterlatechgradDined on 9/19/2014Although we frequented the downtown location, my daughter did not remember Benihana. She likes teppan style cooking though, so we made the trip from Northern Kentucky. The service was good, the food was just as we asked for it, and the desserts we wanted were available. My only gripe was my beverage. It was supposed to be the hibiscus tea, but it tasted fermented/carbonated. I just ordered a regular iced tea instead. My daughter really enjoyed the evening and said she would like to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HighlyDisappointedVIPDined on 9/16/2014Both of our beers was skunky tasting. Sent back and drank water. Hair in my dipping sauce. Very disappointing for the distance we traveled eat there.Special Features:
- OkLove2mingleDined on 9/15/2014We were there in august it was a great experience. The food, ambience service and the level of noise. Birthday but no picture. The other night was a birthday we got a picture, the food was good but the noise level and crowd was to much. It will probably be a while before we go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Celebrated BirthdaydryanDined on 9/13/2014We had a fantastic time at Benihana's celebrating my husband's 50th birthday. They sang Happy Birthday to him and had him wear a Benihana's hat for a photo and gave him whipped cream, a cherry and candle on his sherbert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not so great.usingfreebiesDined on 9/11/2014There was a lot of food, and the other seven guests at our table seemed to really appreciate that, as they were frequent flyers of this establishment. I thought the food was pretty bland, especially the rice. With that said, I thought the shrimp was really good; the steak, not so much. We had some issues with dirty dishes being served, but the manager promptly tried to make ammends and even folllowed up with our table twice to make sure all was well. The employees were all very nice and the Happy Hour prices in the lounge were pretty good, esp for sushi rolls!Special Features:
- Always wonderfulHungryHulkDined on 9/10/2014I love this restaurant so much! From the wait staff to the hostess, everyone is friendly and accommodating. My favorite chef is Hiro. He makes the food taste so good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Annie looking like quite the snuggler... As you may know, we're experimenting with a new effort to highlight some of the most special pets at our shelter partners that are still in search of their forever homes. Recently we profiled Barley, a beautiful dog who has spent most of his life in a Connecticut shelter in spite of being an all-around great dog. Today we add to the 'can't believe no one adopted this pet yet' list a beautiful senior dog named Annie. She is currently being cared for by the Allen County SPCA in Fort Wayne, Indiana and is in desperate need of a real, forever home. … [Read more...]

Meet Barley: possible the best dog ever

The first time I saw Red
This is the first in a series of guest posts from one of our member Patriots, Bobby, a disabled veteran in Florida who brought a big, goofy dog named Red into her life. ***** The first time I saw Red I was still very upset about Pooh. Remember I said I had cried at the shelter. Red was in his pen and I was petting him through the wire. He kept licking my hand and I felt no fear. Red is a big boy, and to some I would think a little intimidating. The next time I went back to the shelter, while I was petting Red they came to take him for his photo. For some reason Red was terrified. He laid … [Read more...]

Lost in North Carolina: find Davey!
Last week I was over the moon when one of our member Patriots and his family adopted a four year-old dog who was abused and neglected by his previous owner. Just two short days later, Davey took off into the woods near Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. We need to help this family bring Davey home safe and sound immediately. Davey is between 60-70 pounds and was last seen wearing a bright green collar with a six foot red leash. Because of his previous abuse, he does not bark and is averse to strangers, though he is not aggressive and has a gentle nature. Davey has heartworms and … [Read more...]
Petey the pittie needs a new home
This just in: a beautiful, 2-1/2 year old pit bull given up by its New York City owners who simply "did not want him anymore." Thankfully, our friend Dan and his wife took in the dog, but because of a pit bull ban in their building they had him vetted and are paying for him to be boarded. A generous, but not long-term solution. Someone out there is deserving of this wonderful animal. Read on to learn about Petey... … [Read more...]
Save Peyton and Bear!
As you know, we often step in to help people (and pets), even when it's outside of our mission. Today is one of those cases and it's an urgent one. Peyton and Bear are two dogs that were relinquished to the Town Lake Animal Center (TLAC) in Austin, Texas by their owner, who deployed to Iraq with no one to care for the duo. The soldier was not interested in finding a foster family for his pets and, as a result, their time is almost up at TLAC, which is a open-door, kill shelter. The options for these dogs are adoption, rescue or death. If you're interested to adopt, you must contact … [Read more...]

- The Majestic Wildlife Photography of Marina Cano is Inspiring - September 23, 2014
- The Truth About Vignettes in Photography - July 9, 2014
When it comes to learning photography, there are some rudimentary rules and skills that everyone needs to understand quickly if they are going to start producing great images.
In the world of art and photography, no rule is more fundamental than the Rule of Thirds.
The Rule of Thirds is basically a compositional guide that recommends that any image should be (imaginarily) divided into nine sections by equally spaced vertical and horizontal lines (like a tic tac toe grid). Any major elements within the image should be placed along these lines and preferably at the points of intersection.
Take this photograph for instance:
As you can see, the tree and the horizon, which are the main elements of the photograph, are placed almost perfectly along the horizontal and vertical lines drawn through the image, with the middle of the tree perfectly on the intersection of the lines. This is a textbook example of the Rule of Thirds in photography.
It is important to remember that the Rule of Thirds is really only a guideline. There are many times when it is acceptable to break this convention. For people who are new to photography however, it is a good guide to creating well composed photographs.
Some other image that utilise the Rule of Thirds in their composition:
As you can see, the Rule of Thirds can really help – especially with basic composition for basic subjects.

- "The high-yield market is sort of in a bubble and sooner or later there will be a price paid for that," says Carl Icahn at the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit. Ichan is shorting high-yield by going long on CDS tied to the paper. "We think the risk-reward is great."
- Martin Fridson considers non-investment-grade debt fairly valued at a spread of 565 basis points to Treasurys, and today that spread is just 450 points (it was 900 three years ago; the long-term average is 590 bps). The default rate among junk issuers of 1.6% is barely visible at the moment, and Fridson concedes it could take until 2016 until it rises to its historic average of roughly 4%.
- Fridson sees a strong possibility junk bonds will "underperform their coupon" in 2015 as they've done this year - a total return of 4% thanks to a yield of 6% offset by price declines of 2%.
- Prudential's Greg Peters doesn't agree. "I haven't seen much change fundamentally to suggest that yields are overvalued for fixed income," and he reminds Treasury yields could still defy the experts and go lower next year, perhaps providing a tailwind for high-yield.
- ETFs: HYG, JNK, HYLD, SJB, ANGL, HYLS, WYDE, UJB, XOVR, QLTC, TYTE
Wed, Nov. 19, 3:01 PM
- "We are concerned that in this cycle high yielding investment could struggle sooner rather than later as the Fed moves off of its zero lower bound rate policy for the first time in over six years," writes Wells Fargo Advisors Chief Fixed Income Strategist Brian Rehling. "Should high yield come under pressure as interest rates increase or the economy deteriorates, the selling pressure is likely to be more extreme than seen in the recent selloff. In such a move, retail investors will have difficult reacting quickly."
- Rehling suggests investors cut high-yield exposure down to equal weight.

- Reporting a decline in the high-yield default rate to 1.7% at the end of Q3 - down from 1.9% a quarter earlier, about a six-year low, and vs. the 4.4% average since 1993 - Moody's says not to expect much of rise in the foreseeable future.
- "Forward indicators such as our Liquidity Stress Index (LSI) and a minimal number of very low-rated issuers support a low default forecast," says Moody's, which sees the rate ticking higher to 2.8% in one year.
- Just $1B of high-yield debt defaulted in Q3, way down from $45B in Q2 ($39B of that was Energy Future Holdings).
- ETFs: HYG, JNK, HYLD, SJB, ANGL, HYLS, UJB, XOVR, QLTC
Wed, Oct. 22, 1:12 PM
- The high-yield market "rebounded spectacularly" between last Wednesday's panicky action and the start of this week, says Martin Fridson. If one were to annualize the 1.32% total return from this period, it would work out to a 160.9% gain.
- Some more numbers: The average yield in the BAML high-yield index topped 6.4% last week, and has dropped back to 5.9%, bringing the spread to Treasurys down more than 50 bps to 4.5%.
- Barron's Michael Aneiro continues to see value in a number of sizable closed-end funds still trading at around double-digit discounts to NAV, notably the BlakcRock Corporate High Yield Fund (HYT +1.2%), the AllianceBernstein Global High Income Fund (AWF +0.2%), and the Wells Fargo Advantage Income Opportunities Fund (EAD +0.7%).

Thu, Oct. 16, 3:32 PM
- Warning about "extreme overvaluation" for some time in high-yield, Martin Fridson says the market is at long last back to being at least "moderately undervalued."
- The average spread per the BAML index between junk and Treasurys has climbed to 508 basis points from a low of about 340 bps this summer, and Fridson's model of the option-adjusted spread pegs fair value at 442 bps. The 66 basis points between that and 508 represents about one-half of a standard deviation - hence the "moderately."
- UBS is a buyer as well: "We believe there has been shift in the relative attractiveness between the equity risk premium and the more defensive credit risk premium, and we add to overweight position in U.S. high yield credit."

Wed, Oct. 15, 2:53 PM
- A sizable "position squaring" in 10-year Treasury futures combining with weak economic data, and Ebola fears was behind the panicky decline in Treasury yields this morning, says BlackRock fixed income boss Rick Rieder. "I think liquidity dried up during that time period as people reacted to the news."
- "High yield is actually holding up incredibly well relative to everything else," he says, and BlackRock has been adding to its junk bond holdings. If nominal yields are, in fact, going to remain lower, then high yield at 6.5% vs. 10-year Treasurys at 2% is not a bad deal, he reasons.
- ETFs: HYG, JNK, HYLD, SJB, ANGL, HYLS, UJB, XOVR, QLTC
Wed, Oct. 15, 11:05 AM
- The spread of the junk bond index over Treasurys was below 300 basis points around the start of the summer, and around 400 bps near Labor Day. With today's sharp drop in Treasury yields (without a comparable move down in junk), the spread has blown out to more than 500 basis points.
- Rough publicly traded equity proxies for high-yield, if you will, BDCs remain stuck in a bear market. Prospect Capital (PSEC -3.6%), Fifth Street Finance (FSC -2%), Main Street Capital (MAIN -3.8%), Blackrock Kelso (BKCC -2.6%), TICC Capital (TICC -5.1%), KCAP Financial (KCAP -4.7%).

Mon, Oct. 13, 1:06 PM
- The Treasury market is closed, but TLT is higher by 0.35%, suggesting a drop of two or three basis points in the 10-year yield.
- Off about 1.5% each over the past week, the iShares High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG +0.3%) an the SPDR High Yield Bond ETF (JNK +0.3%) are both managing gains in today's session. Another gauge, the BAML High Yield Master Index is now off 3.35% YTD.
- The good news: Those bubbly valuations of not long ago have been scaled back - the average high yield bond now yields 6.22%, up from June's all-time low of 4.84%, and trades at 101.4 cents on the dollar, down from 107 cents at the all-time high. The spread over Treasurys is a comfortable 466 basis points.

Mon, Sep. 29, 3:25 PM
- The SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:JNK) is staring at a September return of -3.5%, its worst performance since May 2012. The iShares High Yield Corporate ETF (NYSEARCA:HYG) is off 3.3%.
- Amid the weak action, companies are pulling deals - General Cable's nixing of a planned $250M sale today marks the fifth cancelled deal this month.
- Not helping is Brill Gross' exit from Pimco, as investors sell ahead of what could be an unloading of bonds by the world's largest fixed-income manager. The premium yield on the BAML High Yield Index jumped to 440 basis points on Friday from 402 days earlier. It's the widest spread since October 2013.

- "This capital largely did not even exist" in the days ahead of the financial crisis," says Deutsche's head of credit strategy Oleg Melentyev. Private-equity funds have raised at least $300B to invest in credit, and are likely buyers in any selloff, he says, taking over a job that used to be performed by the banks.
- Shops like Carlyle Group, Blackstone, and KKR are among those who have diversified beyond their traditional buyout operations in part by boosting their debt investments. Recently public Ares Management (NYSE:ARES) has the most amount of capital to invest in its 17-year history, says the head of its tradable credit group.
- "Our estimate of alternative capital in credit exceeds the total drop in dealer inventories [i.e. banks] since 2007," says the Deutsche team.

Tue, Sep. 9, 3:43 PM
- What could go wrong? Investors needing to reach their bogeys in the 10% return range are better off using leverage to buy high-yield bonds rather than Treasurys, stocks, or emerging-market or investment-grade paper, according to Citi strategists.
- Five years ago, the average yield on U.S. high-yield was 11.4%, and now it's just 6.1%, well below annual return targets for pension funds of, say, 8%.
- In high-yield, traders are increasingly using CDS, allowing them to put less money down than buying the actual debt - outstanding bets on CDS tied to junk bonds have soared to their highest level since at least 2011.
- To attain similar returns with other vehicles, though, investors would need to boost leverage even further, making them more susceptible to sizable losses in a downturn.
- "We find some surprising results," writes the team. "High yield is less risky than Treasurys."

- U.S. high-yield bond funds booked $680M of inflows in the week ended August 13, according to Lipper, their first weekly inflow in a month. A record $7.1B was pulled the prior week, and for the month ended August 6, a total of $12.6B was withdrawn.
- "When we saw these big outflows we were looking to buy stuff," says one fund manager, though he notes the big withdrawal numbers did little damage to prices.
- Alongside the outflows has been a slowdown in borrowing, with leveraged-loan issuance of $9.7B and junk-bond sales of $2.9B this month, the lowest for the period since 201.
- ETFs: HYG, JNK, HYLD, HYS, SJNK, BSJF, SJB, BSJE, BSJG, HYHG, BSJI, ANGL, HYLS, UJB, BSJH, XOVR, THHY, WYDE, SHYG, QLTC, BSJK, HYGH, BSJJ, HYND, HYZD, TYTE
Thu, Aug. 14, 6:28 PM
- Junk bonds rebounded after shattering records last week with a $7.1B net outflow, as investors added $680M back into high-yield mutual funds and ETFs in the latest week, according to Lipper data.
- Observers say sentiment changed in early August as institutional buyers stepped in hunting for bargains.
- Example: Gulfport Energy (NASDAQ:GPOR) this week increased a $250M junk bond offering to $300M, giving it more cash to pay down its revolving credit line and for other general corporate purposes.
- Also, a debut bond offering for XPO Logistics (NYSE:XPO) priced at par to yield 7.875%, at the issuer-friendly end of the original suggested 7.875%-8.125% range.
- Many investors this year have expressed concerns that a pullback in junk bond prices could signal that market participants are rethinking their willingness to take risk, and the latest inflows could ease some of the concerns.
- ETFs: HYD, JNK, HYLD, SJB, IHY, ANGL, HYLS, PGHY, HYXU, UJB, XOVR, QLTC, IJNK

What if there was a WordPress theme that was designed from its inception to cure all three of these web reading scourges? There is. It's called Whitespace Pro, and it's the latest child theme release for the Genesis Framework.
What you notice first about the Whitespace Pro homepage when you check out the demo is how clean it is.
"Minimal" isn't really the right word, because there is plenty there — including a beautiful header image, gorgeous organization of blog posts, social buttons, and more. But it feels minimal. Your eyes stay comfortable. Your readers' will too. (This is especially true on the post pages — see how easy and inviting that is to read?)
What you may notice after that is the typography, chosen to be the perfect fit for both the form and function of the theme.
One of the most brilliant elements of the Whitespace Pro theme is that it takes advantage of the Theme Customizer that is built into WordPress.
Instead of providing a few selected color styles, we've given you the ability to select any color you with with just a few clicks.
Finally, you will definitely notice the mobile responsiveness. View Whitespace Pro on any device and it delivers the same impeccable experience to you — and it will to visitors of your website as well. And, as you know, a visitor who has a pleasant, comfortable experience on a website is far more likely to share, subscribe, or buy.
Whitespace Pro also comes with:
And much, much more.
Go give the demo a visit and see how Whitespace Pro provides the quintessential online reading experience.]]>
The typeface you choose for your website, and how you make it work, heavily impacts the experience of your visitors. It is not a choice to be taken lightly.
If typography is not your area of expertise, this can feel intimidating. Don't let it be.
Our newest WordPress theme, Remobile, was designed with beautiful typography top of mind. With our typefaces, your site will look amazing and your visitors will have a memorable experience.
And your site won't just look amazing on a desktop. It will look amazing on a mobile device … on a tablet … or projected up onto a big screen.
Because it's mobile responsive, as are all of our themes powered by Genesis 2.0.
Like choosing the right typeface, making a site mobile responsive is a difficult job if coding is not your area of expertise. This is why 134,000+ people just like you have purchased the Genesis framework and use our child themes on their sites.
You get to leverage our expertise in typeface, design, and support so that you can spend more time serving your audience. In addition to beautiful typography and responsive design, the Remobile Pro theme includes the following:

Think about what that dish looks like …
There is a main item, which is featured on the center of the plate, looks and smells delicious, and captures your senses as soon as it's delivered your table.
This item is accented by a side, maybe two, that in every way they complement the main dish rather than overwhelm it. Think of mashed potatoes beneath a tender filet, or four columns of asparagus situated beside a rich cut of salmon.
And the rest of the plate is white space. Maybe a potent sauce is drizzled along the plate's edges to provide an accent of aesthetics and taste — but food isn't being smashed up against the plate's perimeter. It looks as delectable as it tastes.
That's what you expect from your favorite 4-star restaurant. It's why you go back. And it's what you should expect from a WordPress theme.
That's what the Daily Dish Pro Theme delivers.
The main course of your site is, of course, your content: your words, your images, your videos, and more. Daily Dish orients visitors to focus immediately on what's most important.
But just like steak needs potatoes, your content needs intuitive navigation. Giving your readers clear paths to your site's pages in the navigation bar, and using bold widgets to direct attention to search and featured posts, will maximize your visitors' experience (and time) on your site.
And like a chef needs to respond to the tastes of his patrons — from rare to well done — so too does a website need to respond to the device being used to navigate to it.
The Daily Dish Pro Theme offers mobile responsiveness out of the box that delivers the perfect experience to every user, regardless of device.
Bottom line: it's the 4-star theme that your valuable content deserves. And whether you're a foodie blogger, a storyteller, or any kind of content curator under the sun … Daily Dish is a tasteful way to serve your audience.
In addition to the features described above, Daily Dish comes with:
And so much more.

From elementary schools to universities, there are idyllic scenes to put on display, admission and curriculum information to offer, and a constant stream of news, schedules, and results of all kinds to provide.
You need to convey a lot of information, and you need to do it with simplicity and flexibility. Education Pro is a WordPress theme built on Genesis 2.0 that is designed specifically for the needs of educational institutions.
The best way to make a complex topic simple to understand is to organize it in bite-sized chunks. Education Pro does that with a beautiful image slider for the home page that highlights your institution's imagery and big ideas.
In addition, education-themed icons create clear calls to action in widgets that can be placed anywhere on your site.

For StudioPress themes, and every other Copyblogger product, email is the number one driver of new and repeat sales. And it's not close.
This is why we believe in email marketing. It has nothing to do with dogma and everything to do with profit.
And this is why we created a child theme for the Genesis framework that is focused on helping you capture more email addresses, so you can build the list that will build your business.
Introducing the Generate Pro theme.
The Generate Pro theme gives your website all of the power and flexibility of Genesis 2.0 — which is huge. This means HTML5 markup as the backbone, plus mobile responsiveness, airtight security, and top-notch support.
Plus, it has a design that is elegant while also leading your site traffic to one action: joining the email list.
In addition, the Generate Pro comes with:

Today, we're very happy to announce that Genesis 2.1 is now available for you.
Genesis 2.1 is part sensible additions, and part housekeeping. We've added a number of the theme settings to the WordPress Customizer screen, so you can watch your changes take place in real time.
Many of the settings you would normally find on the theme settings page can now also be found in the Customizer.
So, you can now adjust things like the layout, breadcrumbs, and the way your content archives, and watch the changes happen in real time.
For users installing Genesis for the first time on a site, we have disabled the "Primary Navigation Extras" setting. If you would like to add custom links like Twitter or RSS, just use a custom menu item and give it a CSS class of right.
But mostly, we've taken care of some old issues that have been bothering us for a while. While not a revolutionary release, Genesis 2.1 fixes some bugs, tightens security, and increases stability. Not bad.
The following are specific changes made in this branch:

Some themes try to define your site's character and atmosphere for you. Better themes get out of your way and let you do it — easily and clearly — for yourself.
Ambiance Pro for Genesis is one of the latter.
Consider your website like a party, and you're the host. You need a theme that gives your readers what they want most: you.
Your images. Your words. Your ambiance.
The homepage of Ambiance Pro is set up to have a special display of your featured images and headlines welcome your visitors.
And once visitors clicks into a page the header expands, and the absence of a sidebar or other bells and whistles places each visitor directly into a private conversation with you — through the words in your post and the images you choose to accent them with.
Other features of Ambiance Pro include:
And much, much more.

That's what visitors do when your design cannot capture attention — and keep it.
The Centric Pro theme for Genesis was designed to do both. It draws your readers in, then leads them down the page.
All you have to do is provide the message.
How does it work?
The hued minimalism above-the-fold acts like skywriting on a clear spring day.
The backdrop of blue (or one of six other colors) provides a vast expanse of lush color on which your brand's most essential message can be written. Your eyes are drawn in just like they are to letters written the sky.
That's how attention is captured. It is kept and compelled down the page with guided scrolling and a parallax-like feel, plus giant imagery and bold typography.
Centric is the antidote for the short attention spans.
Plus, Centric will respond to whatever device it's being viewed from. You have neither the time nor the money to be developing separate sites for desktop and mobile users. You want one theme that does both, and Centric — like all of our themes built on Genesis 2.0 — does both.
In addition, Centric has:
And so much more … including translation-readiness and button styles.

And no other recent web design trend has done more to impact the way we tell stories online than the advent of parallax web design.
The parallax design style you know. You've seen it. You've probably been wowed by it. You may well have been called to action because of it.
Now, your Genesis-based web design can be powered by it. Introducing, the most amazing Genesis child theme ever: Parallax Pro.
We usually wait until the bottom of the post to link you to the theme demo. Not today. Go check out the Parallax demo now.
See how the text moves slower than the background images as you scroll down? That's the parallax effect.
It makes your web page like a storybook. It keeps people on your page longer. It provokes curiosity. And it gives your website an air of design sophistication and credibility that will help you build instant trust and impulse.
And whereas an early critique of parallax-style design was that it was not mobile responsive … that criticism is so 2013. Parallax Pro for Genesis responds to any device you view it on. So you will wow your visitors, no matter what.
Among the many other features of Parallax Pro:
And so much more.
Try out Parallax Pro today. It's easy to install and simple to set up.
