Wed, Dec. 17, 2:18 PM
- The Fed walks a fine line in its latest releases, making a rate hike in 2015 a near-certainty, but noting too-low inflation as making the pace of tightening slower than previously thought.
- Stocks like the news, with the Dow (DIA +1.6%), S&P 500 (SPY +1.9%), and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ +1.6%) all popping to session highs.
- The 10-year Treasury yield jumps nine basis points to 2.14%, and the dollar (UUP +0.4%) has given up some of its gains.
- Ahead more than 3% ahead of the decision, WTI crude oil (NYSEARCA:USO) is now up 1.5% at $57.26. Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD) is up marginally following the news, now sitting at $1,200 per ounce.

Wed, Nov. 19, 1:05 PM
- Alongside a bull market in the greenback, the WisdomTree (NASDAQ:WETF) Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund (NYSEARCA:USDU) has had net inflows of $118.7M YTD - 364% fund growth based on January 1 AUM of $32.6M (it launched last December).

- The UUP has outperformed - up 9.6% YTD vs. 6.1% for the WisdomTree offering - but it's essentially a play on the euro, which accounts for 60% of the fund's weighting.

Fri, Nov. 7, 5:07 AM

Wed, Oct. 29, 2:30 PM

- "If the dollar were to strengthen a lot, it would have consequences for growth," said FRBNY chief Bill Dudley earlier this week, becoming the first Fed official to mention the greenback in several years. "We would have poorer trade performance, less exports, more imports ... And if the dollar were to appreciate a lot, it would tend to dampen inflation. So it would make it harder to achieve our two objectives. So obviously we would take that into account."
- Highly influential at the Fed and already in the dovish camp, Dudley's comments suggest a new front being opened by the doves, and that he would prefer a longer timeline before rate hikes begin.
- What to check for next is whether Fed boss Janet Yellen begins to echo Dudley's dollar concerns.

It a shame that the only good country bar in town has such bad service. The bartenders are super rude, they ignore everyone except their friends. After we complained to the door person the bartender wanted us thown out. Luckily the bouncer was watching and did not side with the bartender.
1 review
Last night was my first and last time at Whiskey Dicks! The drinks were very over priced and the service was very poor. I paid $20 to see the band Everclear. Before the band got on stage a friend and I were working on our first beers for the evening when I was approached and asked to leave. The man accused me of going behind the bar when I had not even left our table! I tried to explain this to him but he insisted I leave and threatened to call the police. He was very insistent that I had too much to drink and he had warned me when I supposedly went behind the bar. I have never been treated so poorly!

Hanging 10 With Freddie Jacobson. Surf Board pics
By Scott MacLeod, Flagstick Golf Magazine
Just like any professional athlete, you know Fredrik Jacobson house was probably littered with trophies throughout his youth. You know the ones…the player pose with (insert here) a bowling ball, baseball bat, or golf club in hand. Well, originally anyways, we all know that eventually the trophies start to look the same, especially after any item that tries to make them look different (the ball, bat, or golf club) gets snapped off and reduces them to anonymity.
For myself I know I cherish a trophy actually made from a model of a BMW car earned at a Clublink event years back; my five year-old daughter loves to play with the moving parts. Awards like that just seem to stand the test of time, always holding a more special place in your home or office. So for Callaway Golf staffer Freddie Jacobson you can imagine his delight at a presentation by his equipment sponsor Tuesday morning at the Honda Classic in Florida. Outside the Callaway Tour Trailer Jacobson, an avid surfer, was presented with a unique gift to commemorate his 1st win on the PGA Tour, at The Travelers in Hartford last year.
It was, you guessed it, a surfboard. But not just any board. Read the entire article here

The term, "middleman" often has negative connotations in our business world. Cutting out the middleman is often seen as a commitment to profitability. And at times that can be true.
Unless, of course, the middleman has something of value to offer.
This balance between financial common sense and the need for professional services is a very common theme for small businesses trying to optimize their use of information technology. When dealing with computers and relatively straightforward networks, it can often be tempting to go it alone as opposed to hiring a technology reseller to help.
I don't think my job as your faithful blogger is to talk you out of doing this. We all have varying levels of expertise and skills, and the technology systems that we use have varying levels of complexity, based on what we do and how we get it done. Add the presence of available time to the equation and we've got a three-legged stool that becomes the basis for making the decision of hiring a reseller or forging ahead on our own.
The three legs of this stool are often very closely related. For example, a company may have someone with a totally different job who can function as the de facto IT person. That's kind of a freebie, of sorts. But that person might not always have the time, or even the expertise, to do tech support without neglecting the things they are actually paid to do. And while technology tends to gain increased importance in all of our businesses, it's also true that the occasional temporary outage may be more of a crisis for some of us than it is for others.

Palestinians have been venturing out to survey the devastation of Israel's war on Gaza as separate ceasefires called by Israel and the Palestinian fighters appeared to be holding.Israeli troops and tanks were on the move on Monday, heading away from some key points in Gaza towards the border, but it remained unclear whether they would withdraw completely for the Palestinian territory.
Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips, reporting from the Israel-Gaza border, said Israeli military sources were saying that it was largely reservists who were leaving Gaza.
"Regular troops, by and large, are holding their positions and will remain alert, they will remain poised, to deal with any violation, as Israel sees it, of the Israeli ceasefire," he said.
"Given that the Israelis were always very unforthcoming about exactly how many troops were in Gaza at the height of the fighting, it is difficult for us to say how quickly they will leave." Israeli army radio quoted unnamed military officials as saying that troops would pull out of Gaza by the time Barack Obama, the US president-elect, takes office on Tuesday.'Hamas victory'
Hamas and other Palestinian factions have claimed victory in the 23-day conflict.
At least 1,300 people killed, including more than 400 children and more than 100 women
At least 5,300 Palestinians injured, including nearly 1,900 children and 800 women At least 100,000 people forced from their homes At least 13 Israelis killed, including three civilians
However, in a televised news conference on Monday, Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas's armed wing, claimed their rocket-launching capacity had not been diminished, and threatened to renew fighting if Israeli forces did not withdraw.
"They [Israel] say they weakened Hamas. We assure you that what we have lost in this war is nothing compared to what we [still] have," the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades spokesman said. The Israeli military said three rockets had landed in southern Israel since the Hamas-led truce announcement on Sunday.
Abu Obeida claimed only 48 Hamas fighters were among the 1,300 Palestinians killed in Israel's more than three-week assault. The Israeli military had claimed the figure was closer to 500.
He also reasserted that two Israeli soldiers had been captured early on in the fight, a claim which Israel denies.Counting the cost
But the full price of the "victory" was only beginning to be revealed, as thousands of Gazans made their way back to previously inaccessible areas to find their homes and neighbourhoods devastated.
"The WHO [World Health Organisation] has been warning people that with the bodies now several weeks old ... [and] sewage flowing over many of the areas because of the destruction that happened to the infrastructure, it is ripe for an outbreak of epidemics," he said.
Scores of bodies have been discovered in the rubble of destroyed buildings since the fighting ended."We have pulled out the bodies of 15 children and women from under their house," Abed Sharafi, an ambulance driver, said in the early hours of Monday.
"They were so badly decomposed that we couldn't distinguish boys from girls. Some had been there for 15 days."Homes destroyedBulldozers cleared tonnes of rubble from the streets, while the Palestinian Bureau of Statistics estimated that more than 22,000 building have been damaged or destroyed.
Israel announced late on Saturday that it was unilaterally ending its offensive in Gaza.
Following that news, Hamas and several allied Palestinian factions announced on Sunday a conditional, one-week truce.
"We in the Palestinian resistance movements announce a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and demand that enemy forces withdraw in a week and open all the border crossings to permit the entry of humanitarian aid and basic goods," Mousa Abu Marzuk, the deputy leader of Hamas's political bureau, said.
Besides Hamas, the Palestinian factions joining the ceasefire included Islamic Jihad, al-Nidal, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and al-Saeqa.

Throughout the offseason, The Nats Blog will look back at every player's 2012 season to summarize and analyze his performance, and we'll look ahead to his possible role in 2013. We'll go from #1 Steve Lombardozzi all the way to #63 Henry Rodriguez until Spring Training. Enjoy.
Carlos Maldonado is a journeyman catcher that has been in the Nationals organization almost since its existence. Even still, the 34-year-old catcher who pushes 300 lbs. has just 74 MLB plate appearances in his career. He was called up in 2012 after the ludicrous number of injuries to Nats catchers. He didn't record a hit.
Michael Gonzalez was a surprisingly important member of the Nats bullpen in 2012, especially during Sean Burnett's struggles. Gonzalez recored a 3.03 ERA in 35.2 innings, and he pitched well against righties and lefties. It was a bit of a reclamation season for Gonzalez, who had struggled in Baltimore and Texas the previous season.
Ryan Mattheus, the Firework himself, had another great year in 2012. He posted a 2.85 ERA, nearly identical to his 2.81 ERA from 2011, but his WHIP and K/9 improved in more than double the number of innings. He can light up the radar gun in the mid-90s and can even pitch late innings. Here's hoping he keeps his warm up song, because it's impossible to be angry when you hear it.
Next year: Maldonado will sit in the minor leagues for the Nationals again in 2013. Hopefully he doesn't make an appearance for the Nats, because that would mean there were serious injury issues at the catcher's spot again. Gonzalez signed a one-year deal to play for the Milwaukee Brewers. Ryan Mattheus will work middle innings the majority of the time for the Nats now that Tyler Clippard, Drew Storen, and Rafael Soriano have the late innings.
Up Next: #54 Brad Lidge and #55 Eury Perez

Alec Watson, one of three seniors to speak, urged his classmates to go for their dreams and not to be derailed by the naysayers.
"People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be," Watson, quoting Abraham Lincoln, said. "I've always found that to be true."
Before his address, senior Blake Meyer asked for a moment of silence for Tommy Baker, 47, Wellsville, who died earlier this month. Meyer called Baker one of the school's most ardent supporters.
In her address, senior Mikayla Douglas called Baker Wellsville's No. 1 "super fan."
Baker was first on a list of Douglas' 13 reasons why the class of 2013 was lucky, culminating with the "13 wonderful years" the seniors spent growing up together in Wellsville.
"Thirteen is not normally thought of as a lucky number, but it was for us," Douglas said.
Meyer said it might be a sad day for seniors' mothers in the audience who were watching their "babies" graduate, as the reality sunk in that their sons and daughters soon would be leaving home for the next chapters in their lives.
Meyer, Douglas and Watson wished their classmates well in the future and urged them to make a difference in the world.
During the scholarship presentations, Emily McCullough, school counselor, told the audience the graduating class had earned more than $15,000 in local scholarships. Forty-four graduates planned to pursue secondary education or vocational training, with three planning to enter the workforce, she said.
Sheldon Pokorney, WHS principal, presented seniors Cassie Enright and Douglas with the Kansas State High School Activities Association's Citizenship Awards, and he announced Watson was the recipient of the Dale Dennis Excellence in Education Award.
Josh Adams, assistant principal, told the audience Douglas and Watson were the class's valedictorians, with both wrapping up their high school careers with 3.98 grade point averages.
In his closing remarks, Pokorney told the audience that four years ago, when he called the middle school to find out what the incoming freshmen would be like, he was told the Class of 2013 was one of the nicest bunch of kids to ever come through the school district.
After watching the 47 seniors go through four years of high school, Pokorney said, that description still rang true.
Pokorney turned his gaze to the seniors seated to his right.
"There is always room in the world for nice people," he said. "Don't change who you are."

He's already the favorite bad-boy jock in CW's reboot of 90210, so it's no wonder Kellan Lutz is ready for another set of extreme fan expectations when the book series Twilight hits the big screen on Friday.
"I don't feel any pressure," said Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen, a vampire brother to Twilight's big heartthrob, Edward (Robert Pattinson). "Obviously we are doing this movie for [the fans], so it's really great to have the fans come out, and support us and to give us that energy, and for us to reciprocate and give it back to them."
Chatting recently in Los Angeles, Lutz explained that he loves how fans rave (and rant) about both of his characters when they see him around town.
"Some people brought it to my attention that Emmett has curly hair," he said, running his hand over his smooth, short blonde cut. "So, it's tough when you can't be perfect in everyone's eyes to your character ... but, in the end, we are ourselves playing these characters."
Although his hair doesn't match Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's description, Lutz does share his alter-ego's fun-loving demeanor, which drew him to the role. "He just he loves life, and loves making fun of people," Lutz beamed. "And then when situations arise where he needs to be the tough Grizzly bear, he turns that on. He's a big kid."
Now that Lutz has played a vampire, his next dream role would involve getting dark and cerebral, a la Requiem for a Dream. "I'm such a happy guy," he said. "I would love to cry on screen and tap into that."
What's your take on the 90210 lacrosse player biting into the part of Emmett Cullen — and darker roles beyond?

Bubble is a 2005 film directed by Steven Soderbergh. It was shot on high-definition video. It featured some unusual production aspects. In traditional terms, the movie has no script. All lines were improvised according to an outline written by screenwriter Coleman Hough, who previously teamed with Soderbergh on Full Frontal. Bubble was shot and edited by Soderbergh under the pseudonyms Peter Andrews and Mary Ann Bernard. The film uses non-professional actors recruited from the Parkersburg, West Virginia / Belpre, Ohio area, where the film was shot. For example, the lead, Debbie Doebereiner, was found working the drive-through window in a Parkersburg KFC. Bubble was released simultaneously in movie theaters and on the cable/satellite TV network HDNet Movies on January 27, 2006. The DVD was released a few days later on January 31. It was nominated for Best Director for Steven Soderbergh at the 2007 Independent Spirit Awards. Bubble is the first of six films Soderbergh plans to shoot and release in the same manner. The score for the movie was composed by Robert Pollard, who lives in Ohio.

We have previously unveiled table of contents for the upcoming short story collection by Paul McAuley and now we are happy to be able to show you it's cover art.
The collection will be published by PS Publishing in March 2013.
While the use of genetically engineered dolls in combat games in near-future Holland poses profound ethical questions, their liberated cousins threaten to alter the nature of human existence; on an artificial world beyond the edge of the Milky Way, one of the last humans triggers a revolution amongst alien races abandoned there by her ancestors; in the ocean of Europa, a hunter confronts a monster with its own agenda; in 'The Two Dicks', bestselling author Philip K. Dick has a life-changing meeting with President Nixon; while in 'Cross Road Blues' the fate of American history hinges on the career of an itinerant blues musician; and in the Sturgeon Award-winning novella 'The Choice', two young men make very different decisions about how they will come to terms with a world transformed by climate change and alien interference.
Selected by the author himself from his output across over a quarter of a century, this landmark collection contains the
very finest science fiction stories by one of Britain's foremost masters of the genre. From sharply satirical alternate histories to explorations of the outer edges of biotechnology, from tales of extravagant far futures to visions of the transformative challenges of deep space, they showcase the reach and restless intelligence of a writer Publishers Weekly has praised as being 'one of the field's finest practitioners'.

While the Louboutin fashion house is known for incredibly sexy heels, these Christian Louboutin Fetish Heels take the idea of sky high to the next level.
The heels are inspired by the recent surge in fascination towards the world of ballet. Although the Christian Louboutin Fetish Heels look difficult to wear for the average fashionista, ballerinas will definitely have no problem. They boast a height of eight inches and have the signature red Louboutin soles with Swarovski crystals making up the face of the shoe.
Take a leap with these heels and you may or may not land on your feet, but will undoubtedly look as graceful as a dancer in Swan Lake.

Washington shellfish at risk
A big question mark stands over Washington's efforts to deal with ocean acidification is money: How much will be needed and where it will come from?
A state panel, the first of its kind in the nation, discussed a wide range of draft recommendations Friday (July 20) at the University of Washington. Gov. Chris Gregoire appointed the panel —a collection of scientists, shellfish industry officials, and federal and state government representatives — to recommend how Washington can tackle ocean acidification along its coasts. This is the first state effort of its kind in the nation.
Because of the rising levels of acidity, tiny oyster shells in Washington's Dabob Bay and in Oregon's Netarts Bay are crumbling faster than they can grow back. A drop on the water's pH is being pinpointed as the culprit for endangering the Northwest's $270 million shellfish industry.
PH measures the acidity or alkalinity of a fluid on a 14-point scale. The lower the number, the more acidic the liquid is. Distilled water is considered "neutral"; sea water is normally 8.1 to 8.2, which is on the alkaline side. Orange juice's pH is 3; battery acid's pH is close to a one. Shellfish survives in a narrow pH spectrum. At 100 feet deep, some Dabob Bay water has sometimes been measured at a pH of 7.5.
Gregoire's panel is scheduled to present its fix-it recommendations to her on Oct. 1. Those recommendations will be general ones with plenty of details that will have to be later hashed out.
That includes beginning to get a handle on the funding needs, but probably not in detail, said Jay Manning and Bill Ruckelshaus, the panel's chairmen. Manning is Gregoire's former chief of staff. Ruckelshaus was the federal Environmental Protetcion Agency's first chief in 1970 and is advisory board chairman of The William D. Ruckelshaus Center at the University of Washington and Washington State University. (Disclosure: Ruckelshaus is also a member of Crosscut's board.)
"We'll probably have qualitative discussions about our best guesses to the costs," Manning said.
Panelist Peter Goldmark, Washington's commissioner of public lands, said, "We also want an analysis of what no action would cost."
The panel discussed potential remediation measures such as recycling old shells to provide an underwater substrate for shellfish larvae to grow in; experimenting with algae to improve water at hatcheries; and experimenting with eelgrass and seaweed in the field to help remove carbon dioxide from the water. To varying degrees, these measures have worked or have been studied; more field work is needed to gather better evidence on their effectiveness. Other potential measures include expanding the number of pH monitors in Washington's waters; studying whether certain shellfish species perform better in specific bays and inlets; improving how water is treated as it goes into hatcheries; and collecting water and biological data in a more long-term systematic way.
Also, the panel is looking at lining up government programs, agencies, and funds that can coordinate and tackle the problem. This includes examining sewage treatment plants. To limit the discharge of nutrients into the water, where they increase acidity, setting up a system of business credits for discharges has been mentioned. Nutrient credits could be traded like carbon credits "We know nutrients are stressors of of the system, even though we can't quantify it," said panelist Ted Sturdevant, director of Washington's Department of Ecolgoy.
Another proposition before the panel is to forbid commercial and recreational vessels from discharging sewage into Puget Sound.
Some panelists wondered how far new regulations will go on fixing the overall problem; should the carrot or stick be stressed? "Regulation has not gotten us as far as we should," said Ron Sims, representing the Puget Sound Partnership on the panel.
Before Oct. 1, the panel wants to set up ways its recommendations will be addressed by the state and federal governments, environmental groups, industry and private citizens. That includes setting up written agreements among agencies, and identifying a state entity with the coordination responsibilities. "We need an insitutional approach to make sure these recommendations are listened to," Ruckelshaus said.

So long as the panel consists of equal numbers of marine scientists and marine biologists, and shellfish growers I think we'll find some real useful knowlege.
Posted Wed, Jul 25, 5:09 a.m.
In first grade I learned about what happens when you mix 2 chemicals together.
Dumping various chemicals into Puget Sound/oceans is like a giant experiment and yet the experts can't figure it out?
In order to remedy this up and coming disaster someone needs to buck the trend. Between unions, industry, bureaucrats and scientists the outcome won't be easy for them, due to the fact they have all experienced huge gains by looking the other way.
In my opinion, the global warming issue isn't going to get better and may not be reversible with our current process. Chemicals have created a giant black tarp over all water across the globe because YOU refuse to remove chemicals from stormwater, doesn't get any simpler than that.

I think I have read that the PH discrepancy out at Wilapa Bay, and the resulting oyster kill, is due to an "upwelling" of carbon laden water from considerable depth off the west coast of Canada. That may not be correct but it seems like something that should be mentioned in this article.

SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle police say there are four victims in a shooting on the campus of Seattle Pacific University. Police say one suspect is in custody and they are looking for a second person armed with a handgun.
The Seattle Fire Department says one victim has been taken to Harborview Medical Center. Live television video from the scene showed a second person being loaded into an ambulance. Medic units have lined up three more stretchers.
The university posted online that "the campus is in lockdown due to a shooting at Otto Miller Hall."
A woman who answered the phone at the school's security office quickly disconnected, saying no one could talk.
About 4,000 students attend the Christian university about 10 minutes from downtown Seattle.
