Maserati has brought a stunning concept model to Geneva in the form of a dynamic new two-door concept. Sharing the same 460 hp engine with the GT, the 2+2 Alfieri Concept just might offer a glimpse of the Italian manufacturer's future design language. Read More
Maserati has partnered with Italian furniture manufacturer Zanotta to create a limited-edition armchair which premiered this week during Milan Design Week. The Maserati by Zanotta lounge chair was created by designers Ludovica and Roberto Palomba, founders of Palomba Serafini Associates, Milan, in homage to the new Maserati Quattroporte. Read More
Maserati redefines the Ghibli for 2014
Way back in 1966, Maserati came to the Turin Auto Show with a new performance GT in hand. Sculpted by design legend Giorgetto Giugiaro the awkwardly named Ghibli, a long of nose GT, was one of Maserati's great successes in the 60s. After several questionable attempts to bring the name back in various forms, Maserati is set to release a redefined Ghibli – this time in sedan form. Read More
Maserati to debut four-seat GranTurismo MC Stradale in Geneva
Fresh off a glorious victory on the high seas, Maserati has its mind back on the road. At this year's Geneva Motor Show, the Italian marque will premiere a new four-seat version of the race-inspired GranTurismo MC Stradale, along with flashing Europe a glimpse of the new Quattroporte. Read More
Maserati sets sailing world record
Given Maserati's reputation for exotic, high-performance Italian sports cars, the idea that it would set a world record isn't very surprising. What is suprising is that the record was set on water, not land. In fact, Maserati has been actively pursuing many world records in a vessel that is about as different from a V8-engined coupe as you can get. It's been sailing the world in search of prowess and prestige in a large, wind-powered monohull. Read More
Alfa Romeo 4C to debut at Geneva Motor Show
The Alfa Romeo 4C is set to make its debut at the 83rd International Motor Show in Geneva next month. A production version of the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept which combines the efforts of Alfa Romeo and Maserati, the new mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, two-seater coupé will also mark the return of the Italian marque to the U.S. market later this year.

Maserati reveals specs of new Quattroporte at NAIAS
Last November, we looked at the preview of the new Maserati Quattroporte, but Maserati was a bit coy about the technical specifications then, so we had to be content with looking at the outside. Now with the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) underway, the company has opened the bonnet and we've a better idea of what the new sedan has to offer when you put the pedal to the metal.

Maserati previews newly styled and powered Quattroporte sedan
Maserati has revealed the first pictures and details of the all-new sixth-generation Quattroporte sedan ahead of a world debut at the 2013 North American International Auto Show. The new Quattroporte maintains those Maserati staples that would be missed if they were to disappear, but does take some definite strides away from the old model in terms of design, as well as offering new engines including a new V8.

So you think you have an eye for value in assessing investment-quality cars and motorcycles? Here are a dozen cars and motorcycles that went to auction last week. We've included the official description, several images and the official estimates on price from the auctioneer. Can you guess how much each sold for? Answers at the bottom of the story. Read More
You could be excused for having missed the birth of a new class of automobile - the super SUV. Eterniti coined the term for its 620 hp supercar based on the Porsche Cayenne, but in short order a number of other contenders with massive horsepower have emerged. The 600hp Lamborghini Urus, Maserati Kubang and Bentley EXP 9 have emerged. The Bentley EXP 9 gets three-quarters of a Bugatti Veyron engine in the form of a twin-turbo 6.0 liter W12 (with 800 Nm of torque) while the Kubang is odds-on to contain a Ferrari 450 bhp V8.

On Wednesday, a handful of Democratic Party lawmakers introduced a bill to turn the slogan "Labor Rights are Civil Rights" into the law of the land. While admitting the proposed legislation has little chance of passage in the current anti-labor environment, supporters say they hope shifting political winds may favor the bill sometime in the future.
A civil right is any right enshrined in the Constitution or legislation, such as freedom of assembly or freedom of the press. The new measure would affirm that labor rights are equally fundamental.
Titled the "Employee Empowerment Act," the bill is short and simple. It would add a single paragraph to the 1935 National Labor Relations Act giving workers the right to sue employers in federal court for labor law violations, in the same way that individuals are allowed to bring lawsuits under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under current law, workers must bring such complaints to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which is often criticized for being very slow to act and offering wronged workers little in the way of compensation.

NCIS Round Table: "Chasing Ghosts"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Our NCIS review broke down "Chasing Ghosts," this week's episode, in detail.
Now, TV Fanatic staff members Steve Marsi, Douglas Wolfe and Christine Orlando have assembled for our weekly Round Table Q&A discussion of various events and topics from this installment.
Join in as we analyze another entertaining hour of TV's #1 show!
1. How would you describe this week's episode in one word (or two, or three, or four)?
Doug: The one-finger discount.
Christine: Vena Amoris because sometimes I just love Ducky's stories.
Steve: I want in.
2. What was your favorite scene from "Chasing Ghosts?"
Doug: It's a toss-up between two scenes. The first was Palmer's adamant refusal to be pigeon-holed by Ducky, when he said: "No, you know what? I take it back. It is not okay. I appreciate you throwing me a bone once in a while, or in this case a finger but it's not enough. I want to step up in all aspects of my career. And I will not let you send me on my way because you think something is... what... beyond my reach? It's not beyond my reach. I can help. I want to help. I want you to teach me that." And the second was contained in Gibbs' directive to Ziva: "What are you waiting for? Take DiNozzo. Go." Both scenes were uniquely charged, albeit for different reasons.
Christine: Gibbs telling Tony to go check on Ziva... NOW! Perhaps Gibbs really is a Tiva shipper.
Steve: Vance's nod. See clip below ... what an awesome conclusion. Also, I second what Doug said about Palmer, I enjoyed his scenes, as well as Gibbs telling him he's moving up in the world.
3. What, if anything did you find wrong with this installment?
Doug: I'm frankly a little worried at how far Vance is sticking his neck out: after being asked by Homeland Security to rein Ziva in, he did the opposite and okayed her trek to Rome. It's not a technical problem with the show, but it's a problem for the team as a whole. And it ramps up the tension just a bit.
Christine: I really thought the neighbor who saw the door open was going to end up being the killer. Kudos to the show for throwing in that red herring because I kept expecting it to circle back to him for the entire episode and it never did.
Steve: Honestly, not a lot. It was a great way to set up what's to come and to establish the impact of Eli David and Jackie Vance's death on the entire team. No matter where you stand on the Tony-Ziva situation, they are clearly very close and work together well ... this should be no exception.
4. Bigger surprise: McGee being in on Ziva's plan, or Gibbs and Vance effectively signing off on it?
Doug: Both are pretty equal but frankly I was more surprised by McGee's presence in the apartment. I expected to find Ziva talking with Shmeil in that apartment, not Tim McGee.
Christine: I was shocked to find McGee secretly working with Ziva. I suppose it was for his technological expertise but I was still shocked. Tony was barely able to cover his hurt with his trademark humor.
Steve: Definitely Tim. Gibbs I can see backing her if he thinks she can finish the job, and Vance, while not normally the type to back such an operation, likely wants payback, too. But seriously, who wasn't taken aback that McGee had been working with Ziva the whole time? It's great, but I was as surprised as Tony.
5. Does Ziva intend to bring Bodnar in or kill him?
Doug: Definitely she plans to kill him. I suspect Tony might want to talk her out of it, but I can see him getting conflicted too, and wanting to help her bury him.
Christine: This is Ziva. It could go either way but I think she just might try to bring him in.
Steve: If given the choice, and assuming Bodnar had no say in the matter, she might want to bring him in, but this is not the kind of person you just bring in. I don't think she's going in with any expectation of that happening, nor would I expect it the storyline to end that cleanly.
6. How will the Tony and Ziva in Europe dynamic work out - regarding her plan and their relationship?
Doug: I hope the relationship is put to bed one way or another (pun half-intended). I think it's time they showed their cards. The viewers need to win this one: whether they agree to just be friends and no more, or to become a crime-fighting couple. I'd like to see them acknowledge their attraction and can easily see how that can happen: as Tony enables her vengeance, understanding completely her need to punish her father's killer, she'll realize the depth of his commitment to her. If on the other hand he plays it straight and pulls out the procedural law card, she'll see the uncomfortable rift between them. Either way, Ziva needs closure regarding her father's killer, just as the viewers need closure on their relationship. (Okay we don't exactly *need* closure - but it sure would be nice to have it)
Christine: I can't wait to see them working together. They make a good team but I hope he goes all in on whatever her plan is and it's not all about him trying to rein her in. As for their relationship, I'll be really upset if they don't confront their feelings for one another. They need to make a decision. Move forward together or decide it's never going to happen.
Steve: Three words ... shall we dance?
7. Share one bold prediction for the final four episodes of NCIS Season 10.
Doug: Vance will have an internal battle with his need for vengeance and his need to uphold the law. In the end, the law will win and he'll do his best - after making the mistake of sending a vengeance-filled Ziva after Bodnar - to pull her back and demand that she merely apprehend him. Ziva will go completely rogue and cut off communication with him and Gibbs, and will only allow Tony into her confidence. Tony too will battle with his attraction for her and his need to stay within the law. This struggle will see him hit the bottle for a while, until he finally decides he must do what's right. After a few nights of romance and danger with Ziva he will ruefully inform her of his decision to uphold the law. She will kill Bodnar. The season will end with her in Gibbs' basement, and the final scene will be her look of astonishment as he tells her she's no longer welcome at NCIS.
Christine: My hope is that Tony and Ziva become a couple... finally. The tease has gone on far too long.
Steve: These end-of-season arcs always build to dramatic conclusions and leave us hanging at the same time. You can also guarantee there will be ancillary characters playing key roles - perhaps the return of Tim's dad? - and some side plots tying in unexpectedly. It seems obvious that Ziva's hunt for Bodnar will be the focal point, but how her relationship with Tony fits into that, and what the casualties will be? I'm curious to hear what our readers think.
What's your take on these issues of the week on NCIS? Discuss below!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: NCIS, Round Tables
Ziva won't kill Bodner. It will be a Mossad Officer, like Malachi. Ziva has grown up with NCIS. She won't go Rogue. Also It is going to be interesting to see who the murdered Mossad Officer is.
Thank you! But I doubt if this Michael even will acknowledge that he/she has said these things even though we have the proof of them on these pages!
Except we are calling you insane because you make stuff up and say thing like we want to see Tony and Ziva have sex on top of dead bodies. You claim things as fact and don't have the proof to back it up. You just say look at a website so we do and find articles that go against what you are trying to tell us. We call you insane because you lack the common sense to realize that an actress says something and is quoted makes it fact no matter how old the article is. And last but not least we call you insane for claiming Tiva is tantamount to rape. That statement is an insult to actual rape victims.
For the one who call us insane for talking about kate and season 1 and 2 how we like the past character and not Tiva, at leat we dont go around saying we are ENTITLED to TIVA and the Tony and Ziva should SEAL THE DEAL!!! Well, not everyone sees, nor wants, TIVA or any onscreen romance between the field team members yet we get told to GO AWAY because NCIS is all about TIVA. Can we please have our quirky procedural drama back?
@Tahonia Ziva and Gibbs have both shown that the will bend the law to meet their needs or wants. I think we are going to finally see Ziva and the whole NCIS team answers for all the horrible things they have done over the years
Mossad made her a trained assassin, but years of NCIS has made Ziva appreciate the rule of law. I think Bodner will be killed, but it will look like Ziva did it, but it's a present-day rogue Mossad looking to revenge the killing of Eli, surely he has the respect of his former colleagues?
People, we need to seriously stop responding to Michael and then maybe he/she will go away. It is clear this person has serious mental issues or is twelve years old. We are the only contact with the "real" world this person has and it is about a fictional TV show. It's time to stop feeding the delusion!
@MCAL am agree with you. I was tellin Michael he brought up old stuff also
Wait? Are you agreeing with me or with Michael?
@Michael you say @MCAL brings up old articles that are true facts but SVU about Chris is old news too he left in 2 years ago. @MCAL I agree with everything you said. I hope I don't sound mean am just saying

When Honda introduced the Prelude in 1978, it was a strong indicator that the Japanese automaker wanted to move beyond its mundane, econo-box image. Over the next 23 years, the Prelude would go through five iterations and serve as a rolling test bed for Honda's R&D. The third generation Prelude received VTEC technology right after it was introduced in the NSX and it still has the distinction of being the only vehicle offered with an entirely mechanical four-wheel steering system. In 1987, Road & Track wrapped up testing the 1988 2.0Si 4WS version and realized that it's slalom figures eclipsed every vehicle they tested that year, including the Corvette, the new 911, and a couple Italian marques by the name of Lamborghini and Ferrari. It was a coup, but alas, all good things must come to an end.
Like all of Honda's products over the years, the Prelude got fat and with the popularity of the Acura Integra, Honda decided to axe the Prelude in 2001. However, a dedicated group on enthusiasts still hold the Honda in high standing and when it comes to the portly fifth-generation model, the best way to shed the pounds is to add some boost.
That's the tactic Flickr member smlude took when preparing his 2000 Prelude for cone-duty and judging by the list of mods after the jump, no freakin' expense was spared.
A few highlights from the mod list include a Jackson Racing supercharger, a Mugen header, coupled to Mugen cat-back exhaust, AEM cold air intake, cam gears and power pulleys, a lightweight flywheel and a JDM SIR-S Spec LSD-equipped tranny. That's maybe ten-percent of what's under the hood. On the suspension side of the equation, a Mugen Type S coilover kit drops the 'Lude about one-inch for street duty and is swapped out for a Ground Control setup when the owner hits the track. Brembo rotors and PBR ceramic pads handle the stoppage duties, and a Spoon rear strut bar firms things out in back.
The list goes on and on and on, and we didn't even get to the exterior and interior additions. Although one thing we particularly liked was the fact that the OEM stereo remains. Way to keep it real smlude.
The exhaustive list of modifications is posted after the jump, along with a few more pics of the Prelude getting its weekly parking lot workout.

For once, I'm ecstatic not to have a clue what everyone's talking about. It's just like here, at home, with my wife and daughters...
Hans--your credit cards are probably smoked, but maybe you saved the hassle of a new drivers license. This happened to me once, and I was glad to get the wallet itself back for some reason.
Again, I have ZERO knowledge of any situation that took place.
Hans, I'm glad you got your wallet back despite the lack of cash. I felt terrible for you when you lost it. Been there before and it sucks.
They found Ridge's wallet (sans money), in one of the shitters...
My Gear
Glad to here you got your wallet back Hans...sorry bout the cash...my son actually found a woman's wallet the other day...he's 5...asked us to help him give it back to her...obviously she got it back cash and all...don't let the lack of cash get you down too much...there are still good people out there even though many times it doesn't seem like it...just remember to take time to track down any automatic charges you had being made to your cards in addition to canceling them...major PIA.
As to the other situation unfortunately wasn't there this year...so can't comment.

Playing ashe quite a bit as an ad carry in ranked about 1500 elo. Both in mid and in a duo lane the only char I have real issues with atm is Cait. Due to her general range, high dmg and Q range I often get badly zoned out and I can only farm effectively if I have a decent supporting janna/soraka on the duo lane or a decent jungler ganking mid if I am facing her there. Unfortunately team comp is often not what it could be at this elo.
Any advice on mitigating these issues when I do find myself against cait without decent team comp?
I play Cait almost exclusively for when we need a ranged AD carry. From my experience, I found that it is very easy to dodge her Q if you can understand and see her spell animation. That split second it takes to fire does a word of difference. Your Volley, however, takes no time to cast at all. So as soon as you see her use her Q, which is the majority of her damage, go in and volley, frost arrows, and get a few hits in. With Frost Arrows on, you'll attack faster than she does, hopefully, putting out more damage than she does. Before level 6, play defensively, watch her buff marking on her passive. Attack her enough to get it up to 8, and then back off. Rinse and repeat. Then, when you have your ult up, you should be able to take her no problem because your ult > than hers. If you have a jungler (you should almost always have one), ask for more frequent ganks. Threaten him with the possibility of feeding a Cait if he doesn't, and if he's got any kind of brain, he'll help you out.
It's early, so I'm sorry if something in there doesn't make sense, but I hope I've helped.
Cait is really strong early/mid game, Ashe become really strong late game.
The best you can during the laning phase is farm farm and farm, you probably won't kill her alone.
If she harras you with her Q it means that she's gonna push the lane, which makes her a perfect target for your jungler.
Senior Member
As ashe you should crit with your first hit and maintain a very aggressive posture from this point. Due to how fragile you are as ashe this is where you are either successful or not. Take advantage from this early lead and begin zoning/denying.
With the normal crit/volley/hit combo from lvl 1 you should be knocking most champions down to half HP. From this point simply continue moving around, dodging her Q.
Boots 1 are excellent espeically if you are mid. Not only will they allow you to dodge her Q more easily, but it will allow you to catch her to land some hits through the laning phase.

Sony forecast its losses for the current fiscal year should reach ¥50 billion/ $490 million when it ends March 2015. This is the sixth annual loss for the company in seven years. It expects to remain unprofitable until it finally exits the personal computing market. Although it has undertaken some restructuring in its business units and manufacturing, Sony chief financial officer Kenichiro Yoshida says it is now time for Sony to leave entire businesses behind and it will spend 135 billion yen as it leaves the PC business and on additional restructuring. One of which may be its television products operation, which continues to bleed cash. The announcement took analysts by surprise. The average profit for this fiscal year expected by 19 analysts polled by Bloomberg was ¥57.1 billion. "A lot of additional money-losing businesses remain for Sony to dump, though," noted Bloomberg Businessweek. "The company hasn't made a profit on TVs in years, and with stiff competition from South Korea and China, exiting the TV business is probably vital to any Sony turnaround. In its futile attempt to remain a player in TVs, Sony has lost ¥790 billion over the last 10 years, the company revealed today." Based on its losses, PC market may see similar fiscal issues if it attempts to shed that portion of its business. It is focusing on products such as smartphones, cameras and game consoles. (BBC)(Bloomberg)(Bloomberg Businessweek)
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the largest contract chip manufacturer in the world, announced its revenues – which have increased for eight consecutive quarters -- should reach record levels as its chips are used in more high-end smartphones. The company bases this on greater than anticipated sales and expects double-digit growth as more 20-nanometer chips enter the market. It did not state what its current or targeted market share for high-end smartphone chips might be. It estimates its second-quarter revenue will grow NT$180 billion ($6 billion) to NT$183 billion. Increased adoption of Long-Term Evolution technology is also driving chip sales, company executives report. (Reuters)(Bloomberg)

A 35-year-old woman from southern Caldwell County has been arrested in a case that involves the attempted distribution of Oxycodone, authorities say.
Melisa Diana Triplett, 35, of Hudson, was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with possession with intent to sell or delivery Oxycodone and maintaining a vehicle to keep or store a controlled substance, deputies said.
Investigators allege Triplett met with another person in the Sawmills community with the intent of distributing the pills. She was approached by drug agents and taken into custody.
Deputies said they found 34 Oxycodone pills in a cigarette pack in the 2005 GMC truck she was driving. Triplett did not have a prescription for the pills, deputies said.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Botanical Grace Save the Date Magnets The colors were perfect! The design was perfect! I LOVE the heart shape! The only complaint I have, is it's a little too small. I think if it were bigger, it would be easily to read. However, I also asked for additional lines to be added, so that may be why the print is so small. But, all in all, LOVE them!
The Best
Botanical Grace Tea-length Programs We did our save the dates, invitations, and programs so far from MagnetStreet. Unbelievable! Great prices, great designs, super good customer service, and shipping in under a week. Who would go anywhere else? Thanks, MagnetStreet, for making our wedding look better than we could have imagined!
Beautiful Design, Wonderful Personalization
Botanical Grace Save the Date Magnets I wasn't going to buy a save the date, but I was looking around any way. Since I am not having my picture with my actual invitations, I fell in love with these. After I messed with the colors (turned the background black and added in our other wedding colors of purple and red) I couldn't see myself without them! I had a specialist help me make the wording legible and make the colors blend together EXACTLY the way that I wanted. I was absolutely amazed at how easy they were able to work with me and how beautiful that they turned out. The magnet wasn't too strong (was worried they'd get lost in the mail because they were stuck to the metal mail drop box). Everyone loves the idea of a magnet. That way, they can't lose it!
Beautiful Invitation
Botanical Grace Half-fold Programs I absolutely loved this invitation. The only negative I have is that the space on the back was limited for what I wanted to say. Other than that, the quality was amazing and I was even able to modify the color so that it fit my wedding color perfectly!
So happy!
Botanical Grace Thank You Cards We have used Magnet Street for all of our wedding stationary. We've ordered Christmas cards, Save the Dates, Shower invites, Wedding invites, Thank You cards, and another Christmas card. We have received so many compliments about the quality of our invites. We love the fact that we were able to use the exact same colors throughout our entire wedding. The packaging of the products is also very impressive. So happy!

Columnist Calls Out NFL for Shoddy CBS2 Cutaway
You couldn't have scripted this any worse. With the Oakland Raiders-Buffalo Bills game yesterday having come down to the final seconds and the black-and-white dug in on their 15-yard line trying to hold a 35-31 lead, CBS2 suddenly cut away–per local LA market obligations–to the start of the Patriots-Chargers game. Or make that a bunch of commercials, then the Jim Nantz Foxboro, MA stadium welcome.
Los Angeles Daily News sports columnist Tom Hoffarth, like every other fan watching, could hardly believe it. Especially when a few minutes later, he learned that the Bills had scored to win the game 38-35. Writes Hoffarth:
A KCBS-Channel 2 spokesman suggested we contact a CBS spokesperson. The network referred us to an NFL spokesman. The NFL offered neither an apology nor an offer to revisit the policy to see if it can altered in future weeks.

The fragrance is unique on my skin! It evolves and changes every hour, but remaining some main notes-powdery, rose, balmy, sweet.

Comments about Shalimar Parfum Initial By Guerlain:
I sampled Shalimar Parfum Initial in a store, and instantly liked it, thinking it was the parfum version of the original. However, I bought the original Shalimar, not realizing they were different scents. While I do like the original, I had to find this scent again. I had a hard time finding it in stores, again. Fortunately, I found it here. It's just as I remember in the store.

Audi To Build Assembly Plant In North America
Updated On: Jul 08 2011 06:42:35 AM EDT
Audi AG is currently finalizing the details of a new vehicle assembly plant to be constructed in North America.
The popular Volkswagen brand is still deciding the location of the plant, its capacity and what models will be built there. According to Audi CEO Rupert Stadler, all of those decisions will be made in the next 36 months.
?It is totally clear that we need new production capacity in the U.S.,? Stadler said in an interview. ?The question only is when.?
According to Audi sources, there is also consideration to build an engine and transmission plant in North America which could be shared with another Volkswagen division.

Deployment Considered In Light of Russian Cheating
By SOF
Could American nuclear missiles be returning to Europe? That possibility is very distinct in light of revelations that Russia has been cheating on the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty.
According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, the Department of Defense is considering re-deploying ground-launched cruise missiles to NATO should the Russians fail to comply with the INF Treaty. In accordance with that treaty, the United States dismantled MGM-31C Pershing II ballistic missiles and BGM-109G Gryphon cruise missiles.

Contrarian Delight: Maybe Last Chance To Invest Or Hedge With UVXY At All Time LowsBart Gruzalski • Fri, Nov. 7 • 195 Comments
- Market is very fragile and the warnings are everywhere.
- The fragile dollar and circling black swans: the weekend allows one or more to land.
- Invest with UVXY which is below its all-time lows—a contrarian's rare opportunity.
- When to Invest? Friday, before or after the close. Monday morning, before or after the open. When to sell? When correction touches 20% unless the dollar collapses, then wait.
Volatility Update For OctoberNathan Buehler • Thu, Sep. 25 • 35 Comments
- Initially September proved to be a boring month with better action towards the end.
- Economic indicators continue to show short-term strength in the U.S. economy.
- Important events that could influence volatility.
Volatility Outlook For SeptemberNathan Buehler • Wed, Aug. 27 • 75 Comments
- Geopolitical risks have subsided for now.
- August proved to be a very profitable month.
- Economic conditions do not suggest a severe market pullback within the next several months.
Volatility UpdateNathan Buehler • Wed, Aug. 6 • 55 Comments
- Futures are moving closer to backwardation.
- Current events continue to create possible opportunities with further spikes in volatility.
- I am looking to initiate a short position in UVXY.
What To Watch For In UVXY And VXXNathan Buehler • Sun, Jul. 13 • 36 Comments
- Are we going to see that after fourth of July pop in the VIX? So far we haven't, but developments bear watching.
- Improving economic conditions put the VIX in a subdued range, see which current events could change that.
- A historic look at UVXY performance in a low VIX environment.
Hedging Provides Relatively Cheap Insurance For Volatility ETPsNathan Buehler • Tue, Jun. 24 • 13 Comments
- Limit your downside risk to between 6-12% with hedging strategies.
- Using visual charts, I will explain how to execute each strategy.
- Never invest in UVXY or SVXY without a hedging or stop loss strategy.
- When would you use each strategy?.
- Over the past thirty days, volatility speculators expecting a market pull back have been disappointed.
- A technical analysis shows us now is not a good time to invest (short).
- Historically speaking, you will get your chance.
- Patience is difficult but necessary.
Suggested Timing For Shorting UVXYNathan Buehler • Wed, Jun. 11 • 22 Comments
- Timing a falling VIX is a safer strategy than timing a rising one.
- A proven metric would be to short UVXY once VIX futures move from backwardation to contango.
- This article was written solely based off of feedback requests by Seeking Alpha users.
- UVXY would have provided substantial gains during the spikes in volatility in 2008 and 2011.
- Backwardation aided UVXY in both cases, particularly in 2008.
- With current market conditions, timing a falling VIX is less risky and a better strategy.

- Using UVXY and SVXY can provide significant returns over short periods of time, if used correctly.
- Timing is everything.
- This is not a strategy for rising volatility.

- Three days of S&P 500 price swings exceeding 1.5% have sent the Volatility Index higher by 21% since October 6 to 18.8, a level not seen since February. It's got the technicians talking, and one says if this level of VIX resistance doesn't hold, the index is headed to 21, suggesting downside of another couple hundred S&P points (roughly 10%).
- Ryan Detrick sees 1,905 as a key S&P level (vs.last night's 1,928 close) as that was the August level from which the index bounced. With the small caps already having broken through a number of key support lines, it would be nice to see the big caps hold.
- The rise in volatility actually only seems troubling to those induced by the central bank-induced lull of the past few years. "Volatility coming back into the market is a direct correlation to the tapering ending," says one wise trader. "This is what it used to be like before the government was in the market."

- "The S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index is a robust, transparent, and fair index," writes a S&P Dow Jones spokesman, responding to loud criticism of the VXX ETN from "father of the fear index" Robert Whaley.
- "Unlike equity indices, VIX futures are not in the long-term expected to deliver positive returns. VIX futures are not guaranteed to go down either ... Contango is a natural feature of any futures market. Therefore he who would take a long position in VIX must occasionally bear the cost of contango."

- "I bought VXX as a play on volatility. But a week went by, two weeks, and the price went down," says Robert Whaley - known as the father of the "fear index" - who is very much not a fan of VIX Short-Term Futures ETN.
- "Buying this is about the dumbest thing you could do," he says, after some prospectus digging revealed the product is more or less programmed to go to zero over time.
- Whaley - recently signed on as a partner in AccuShares Investment Management - has his own product to sell as that firm has volatility ETFs in the works. The AccuShares Spot CBOE VIX Up Shares and VIX Down Shares are theoretically designed to do a better job tracking the CBOE Volatility Index, and could launch as soon as this summer.

- The CBOE - hoping to attract business from Europe and Asia, not to mention cater to U.S. traders operating in the middle of the night when a good deal of major news breaks - has now extended the trading hours of its highly profitable volatility futures to nearly 24 hours per day.
- Trading will be continuous between Sunday at 6 PM ET until Friday at 4:15 PM, with the exception of a 15 minute break each day starting at 4:15.
- Prior to the change, the market had been open from 3 AM on each day, and about 7.5% of contracts changed hands outside of regular U.S. hours.

UVXY vs. ETF Alternatives
UVXY Description
This Ultra ProShares ETF seeks a return that is 2x the return of an index or other benchmark (target) for a single day, as measured from one NAV calculation to the next. Due to the compounding of daily returns, ProShares' returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. Investors should monitor their holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily.

- Preheat oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C. Peel the potatoes and cut into big chunks. Put them in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, sprinkle in the turmeric and give a good stir. Bring back to the boil, then cover and simmer the potatoes for 4 minutes.
- Pour the oil into a roasting tin and put in the oven to heat through for 5minutes. Drain the potatoes well in a colander and give a gentle shake to rough up the surfaces a bit – but not too much or they'll break up. This rougher surface will give you crisper potatoes.
- Carefully tip the potatoes into the hot fat in the roasting tin, tossing with a big metal spoon to coat. Scatter with a light sprinkling of paprika and roast, without turning, for about 11⁄4 hours or until golden and crisp. Sprinkle the potatoes with Maldon sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately

Two weeks ago, back on November 3, I noted that a long-standing and scandalous "legend" about Newt Gingrich was being refuted by his daughter:
We've all heard the story about how Newt Gingrich — heartless, horrible man — went to his cancer-stricken wife's hospital bed and told her he wanted a divorce.
We heard it so often, we believed it. I admit, I believed it. Did you?
Of course, I was far from the first to notice; Doug Mataconis explored the story back in May of 2011, after Andrew Sullivan also noted Jackie Gingrich Cushman's story:
It's become both the butt of jokes and the reason for criticism that Newt Gingrich informed his first wife that he wanted a divorce while she was in the hospital being treated for cancer. Now, we have a first hand account from one of Gingrich's daughters that this is untrue.
Still, as recently as three days ago — November 15 — the press was content to preserve the narrative:
Mr. Yepsen says voters aren't likely to dwell on Gingrich's past – though he is twice divorced, and left his first wife following her treatment for cancer. He left his second wife for a staff member who is now his third wife, Callista.
Gingrich's daughter, recall, wrote:
Mom went to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for surgery to remove a tumor. While she was there, Dad took my sister and me to see her . . .here's what happened:
My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested. Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother. She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor [which was benign].
Today Hot Air notes that the mainstream media (or, at least The Washington Post), are finally acknowledging that the legend was, in fact, highly distorted:
Yet while the thrust of the story about his first divorce is not in dispute — Gingrich's first wife, Jackie Battley, has said previously that the couple discussed their divorce while she was in the hospital in 1980 — other aspects of it appear to have been distorted through constant retelling.
Most significantly, Battley wasn't dying at the time of the hospital visit; she is alive today. Nor was the divorce discussion in the hospital "a surprise" to Battley, as many accounts have contended. Battley, not Gingrich, had requested a divorce months earlier. . .Gingrich's marriage to Battley had been troubled for many years before it dissolved 31 years ago, both parties have said.
The WaPo deserves some props for running this clarifying piece — albeit several months after Cushman's public statement, and on a Saturday, the least-read day of the week. But while the salacious "legend" is now being somewhat beaten back, it's worth asking the larger question: given the five-decade devolution of our cultural understanding of marriage should a long marriage or divorces really matter in our considerations of candidates?
Marriages end for many reasons, some of them completely unscandalous; it is the rare family that has not been touched by divorce, and it has always seemed to me to be no one's business what has brought people to that point. Am I right in thinking that Ronald Reagan was our first "divorced president?" I don't see how his divorce had anything to do with his character or his presidency.
For that matter, I can't imagine any Republican suggesting that Bill and Hillary Clinton's long marriage in any way validated their characters; I cannot imagine any Democrat pointing to the long marriage of George and Laura Bush as an indicator of leadership ability. Barack and Michelle Obama's successful marriage speaks to nothing as regards competency.
Deciding on a presidential candidate on the basis of his or her marital status is more about validating one's own values than making a careful assessment of a character's strengths and weaknesses. None of us truly know why anyone else's marriage ends, or for that matter, whether our own marriages may face future challenges, and how we'll respond to them. For Christians, especially, the temptation to judge someone on the basis of their successful or unsuccessful marriages may be strong, but I wonder if it should be?
After all, we know how often we've needed to ask for the kiss of God's mercy against our own wounding sins, and how grateful we have been to read Isaiah 38:17: you have saved me from the pit of destruction, when you cast behind your back, all of my sins."
I don't have any idea what Newt Gingrich's marriages say about his character: perhaps something negative. I do not know what his reluctance to correct the record on a very damning story says about his character, either: perhaps something positive.
All I know is we've had plenty of long-married presidents whose performances in office have been less-than-stellar. My country is in way too much trouble for me to decide to give or withhold my vote based on that.

You'll note there is an ad running in the right hand sidebar for the book Extraordinary Circumstances; The Journey of a Corporate Whistleblower by Cynthia Cooper, who was on of Time Magazine's people of the year in 2002.
From the press release:
In June 2002, Cynthia Cooper, Vice President of Internal Audit at WorldCom, made a decision that would reveal the largest fraud in US corporate history. Cooper discovered that WorldCom's crafty accounting methods turned a $662 million dollar loss into a $2.4 billion profit for the company. Standing by her ethical values. Cooper released a report that exposed the fraud, unleashing a firestorm of investigation, media coverage and accusations. The repercussion were enormous and in the months that followed, Cooper faced extreme personal and professional challenges, having to face the fact that by reporting her findings she triggered a remarkable fallout.
I remember being much too interested in the aftermath of 9/11 (and so over-saturated with Enron coverage) to pay much attention to the 2002 "Whistleblowers of the Year." Since I am quite sick of (and bored with) this political season, I think this might be a good time to catch up on this story. Looks good.

A high-performance short board for medium surf.
Swiftly, you adjust the leash on the Surftech Spudnik Surfboard, study the surf, and patiently wait for a break in the crashing waves. Ideal for medium surf or rolling waves, the Spudnik features a single to concave design with rounded foils and a rounded pin tail. Its Ultraflx technology creates a flex that closely mirrors the performance characteristics of a standard polyester surfboard but that is way more durable. Thanks to its water-tight fused cell core and Salmon Skin biaxial fiberglass layer, the Spudnik is able to maintain a crisp flex and soft feel that many riders prefer. The Spudnik's versatile FCS five-fin setup enables the Spudnik to naturally scream down the line while providing a wicked solid hold in larger surf and supplying more control with less response time. When used as a quad-fin setup, the Spudnik holds a higher line in steeper waves and generates more drive through a turn. Fins are not included.
- Short board design
- Medium surf, rolling waves
- Single to concave with rounded foils
- Rounded pin
- Ultraflx construction (EPS/sandwich epoxy)
- FCS 5-fin setup

St. Mark Comments
The second Gospel was written by St. Mark, who, in the New Testament, is sometimes called John Mark. Both he and his mother, Mary, were highly esteemed in the early Church, and his mother's house in Jerusalem served as a meeting place for Christians there. St. Mark was associated with St. Paul and St. Barnabas (who was Mark's cousin) on their missionary journey through the island of Cyprus. Later he accompanied St. Barnabas alone. We know ...

I don't profess to be a historian on theology but something is very wrong with this article. If you read the Wilkopedia about St Mark there is a big difference of opinion than what the author has written in this article. John Mark did not write the Gospels, Mark the Evangelist did, John Mark's mother was Mary and her house was indeed a Christian center. John mark did not become bishop of Alexandria, Mark the Evangelist did. So i guess I'm going to do a little more in depth research to find out who in fact is correct.

Barcelona striker wants patience from fans
Barcelona striker David Villa has called for patience in a bid to rediscover his form and repay the fans for their overwhelming support.
After eight months on the sidelines recovering from a fractured tibia, Villa returned to action last month under new Barca boss Tito Vilanova.
After coming on as a 75th-minute substitute, Villa took just nine minutes to make his mark, scoring the final goal in a 5-1 Primera Division rout of Real Sociedad at the Nou Camp.
A further 15 minutes followed in a 2-1 win at Osasuna before pulling on a Spain shirt again last Friday, this time requiring 10 minutes to get on the scoresheet from the penalty spot after replacing Fernando Torres in the 52nd minute of a 5-0 friendly thrashing of Saudi Arabia.
For Villa, it is a case of slowly working his way back to full fitness as he said: "I feel good. I'm finally feeling normal after such a long time.
"I'm being named in the team, I'm available to play, and I'm getting some minutes on the pitch.
"But I need more time. I've been recovering for months, almost eight months without competing, and getting back to form requires time.
"So I have to be patient because I won't be able to help anyone if I rush things now. Everything I've lost so far won't be won back no matter how hard I work.
"Also, the club and the fans gave me a lot of support throughout my recovery. At times it was almost overwhelming. I want to return the gesture."
With Champions League football looming next week, Barcelona face Getafe on Saturday, but will be without key midfielder Andres Iniesta who pulled the adductor muscle in his right thigh during Spain's 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Georgia on Tuesday.
Jordi Alba is a major doubt as he has flu for the game against a Getafe side who pulled off a shock 2-1 home win over Real Madrid last month.
Madrid boss Jose Mourinho takes his side to Sevilla on Saturday with a clean bill of health following the international break, while other games see third-placed Malaga host Levante, with Celta Vigo travelling to a struggling Valencia side who have collected just two points from their opening three games.
On Sunday, second-placed Real Mallorca head to bottom of the table Osasuna who have yet to pick up a point, although Mallorca's new defensive signing Geromel said: "We must stay focused because it will be a very difficult match in Pamplona.
"The team must stay together and we must do everything possible to get the three points."
Also without a point, Espanyol host Athletic Bilbao, while Deportivo La Coruna head to Granada, Real Sociedad take on Real Zaragoza and Atletico Madrid, who thumped Chelsea in the European Super Cup nearly a fortnight ago, host neighbours Real Vallecano.
The final game of the weekend is on Monday when fifth-placed Real Valladolid are at home to Real Betis.
