Adversity, if a man is set down to it by degrees, is more supportable with equanimity by most people than any great prosperity arrived at in a single lifetime.Samuel Butler
History is filled with examples of men and women who rendered highly effective performance without the conventional badges of accomplishment in terms of certificates, diplomas, or degrees. Diplomas and tests are useful servants, but Congress has mandated the commonsense proposition that they are not to become masters of reality.Warren Earl Burger
He who would win high spiritual degrees, must pass endless tests and examinations. But most are anxious only to bribe the examiner.Sri Aurobindo
There are thousands of degrees and variations, but it is always clearly the attitude of a person who finds his superiority in solving the complications of others.Alfred Adler
We all need money, but there are degrees of desperation.Anthony Burgess
I'd rather be in Las Vegas 104 degrees than New York 90 degrees, you know why? Legalized prostitution. In any weather that takes the edge off.RAY ROMANO
God will not look you over for medals, degrees, or diplomas, but for scars.Elbert Hubbard
Knowledge has three degrees-opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.Plotinus
Knowledge has three degrees -- opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.Plotinus
It is the business of a statesman to judge of the expediency of different schemes of economy, and by degrees to model the minds of his subjects so as to induce them from the allurement of private interest to concur in the execution of his plan.Sir James Steuart
I have three degrees in history and only one in law, but since I came back to specialize in constitutional law where history is so essentially a part and an explanation of much that exists, the two disciplines blended very well.Frank Scott
Beauty created by Nature is equal in value to, and to be accorded reverence equal to that of the beauty of music, art or poetry of man, and experts are available to testify as to degrees of natural beauty just as they are able to testify to the quality of mortals� art.David Sive
How often do we sigh for opportunities of doing good, whilst we neglect the openings of Providence in little things, which would frequently lead to the accomplishment of most important usefulness! Dr. Johnson used to say, "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do any." Good is done by degrees. However small in proportion the benefits which follow individual attempts to do good, a great deal may thus be accomplished by perseverance, even in the midst of discouragements and disappointmentsGeorge Crabbe
An increase of two or three degrees wouldn't be so bad for a northern country like Russia. We could spend less on fur coats, and the grain harvest would go up.Vladimir Putin
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scarsElbert Hubbard
My dear girl, there are some things that just are not done, such as drinking Dom Perignon 53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That is just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs.Bond
Upon the first goblet he read this inscription, monkey wine; upon the second, lion wine; upon the third, sheep wine; upon the fourth, swine wine. These four inscriptions expressed the four descending degrees of drunkenness: the first, that which enlivens; the second, that which irritates; the third, that which stupefies; finally the last, that which brutalizes.Victor Hugo
Your body must become familiar with its death in all its possible forms and degrees as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.Dag Hammarskjld
Cage's Music of Changes was a further indication that the arts in general were beginning to consciously deal with the "given" material and, to varying degrees, liberating them from the inherited, functional concepts of control.Earle Brown
Ill habits gather by unseen degrees - As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.John Dryden
Coming out involves varying degrees of difficulty that are affected by class, race, religion, and geography.Lance Loud
How poor are they who have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees.William Shakespeare

5. Utah ( because the rest go in order of finish)

MVC Capital Announces Investment In Biovation Holdings Inc.
MVC Capital, Inc. (NYSE: MVC), a publicly traded business development company that makes private debt and equity investments, today announced that it will invest up to $3.05 million in Biovation Holdings Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of environmentally friendly, organic and sustainable laminate materials and composites.
Under the terms of the transaction, MVC has funded a $1.5 million note and, upon the realization of certain manufacturing, sales, and capital expenditure milestones, will fund a $1.55 million preferred equity investment.
Based in Mankato, MN, Biovation produces organic material made primarily of corn and soybean co-products that, through a proprietary process, can be extruded into flat sheets or rolls, which can be printed upon and textured. Biovation's green products are manufactured without formaldehyde or other hazardous and harmful items, which are currently found in nearly 100% of the laminates produced today. Biovation will focus initially on the decorative laminates market under its Biosurf brand name. Long-term, the proprietary Biosurf product is anticipated to be used in many industries including decorative lighting, military applications, transportation, print media, and electronics.
"We are pleased to partner with Biovation, an entrepreneurial and innovative company with revolutionary green laminate products and proprietary technologies applicable to a large number of end markets," said Michael Tokarz, Chairman & Portfolio Manager of MVC Capital, Inc.Michael Riebel, Chief Technology Officer at Biovation Holdings Inc., said: "With the significant financial and operational resources MVC brings to Biovation, we believe we can better achieve our near and long-term objectives. MVC has already demonstrated their hands-on investment approach and we look forward to working closely with them as we enter the next phase of our growth." "We believe Biovation is well positioned to take advantage of numerous opportunities that exist in the highly-fragmented decorative laminates industry," said Peter Seidenberg, Chief Financial Officer of MVC Capital, Inc. "We look forward to working closely with Biovation's talented team and helping grow their business and deliver additional products to the marketplace."

Our series on college buildings continues with a look at new classroom designs, flexible space, collaboration areas, and the evolving role of the university library.
Fostering collaboration is a common theme for most collegiate projects. Huddle space for students, faculty groups, and researchers is being set aside to promote interaction. Co-locating different disciplines within the same building is an increasingly common tactic, all in the belief that more effective learning, higher-quality research, and greater levels of innovation result when academics from different backgrounds and disciplines work in close proximity.
This concept is being implemented at UNCC's Portal building which, to promote interaction among incubator firms, will have some offices with windows facing the interior of the building. Shared conference rooms and kitchenettes will be centrally located within bridges connecting two wings. These areas will be flooded with natural light to draw entrepreneurs together for impromptu conversations during the day; at night, they'll be able to see others burning the midnight oil, possibly leading to breakthrough business opportunities, says Mullenix.

I once rubbed it out to my poster of Bill Compton. Truth.
1 1
The generally accepted way to project the future is to assign probability to all possible outcomes.
Therefore the Rick Ankiel situation is considered, but gets a small weight.
"Floor" is a convenient shortcut to actual analysis.
There are starters who look really, really, really good in the minors and don't pan out in MLB, by the way.
This is not something I made up. This is basic introductory decision sciences that every undergrad business student is taught. Stop questioning me everytime I bring up this widely accepted process for projecting future outcomes and buy a textbook. Take a class at your local comunity college. You might be trying to make me look stupid, but you're exposing your ignorance on the subject.
I was using Ankiel as a symbol for falling apart. Not saying exactly the same things might happen in the same ways. Obviously you have to do it in a practical way. WAR ranges, for example. 0 WAR is 0 WAR however you get there.
Try to understand what I'm saying. You keep criticizing it, but have not taken the time to understand it because you keep making false claims.
I am not weighing individual pitchers from the past. I am weighting his probability of achieving and maintaining certain levels of success. Ankiel was an example I gave to represent flaming out. It is possible Moore totally flames out for any number of reasons. I also gave that example in direct response to what I was commenting on. That is considered, but it's a small weight in the total picture and it can happen to any player… Some with a greater probability than others.
That you don't understand this concept means nothing at all in the grand scheme of things. You might want to dismiss what you don't understand, but I'll bet you this is exactly what the statisticians employed by the Yankees do (this being a dumbed down version)… because it's a basic principal of the science of statistics. Again, read a book once in a while and you might be stunned how your knowledge starts to expand.
I am so tired of you trying to make it seem like I am wrong out of your own ignorance. Go to a local university, find a stats professor, and ask how you project future occurrences. They will tell you the simplest way is to assign probabilities to the various possible outcomes and multiply to get a basic projection. This is first year, maybe second year stuff for undergrads. Common knowledge pretty much. Not some theory I pulled out of my ass.
You really think that you can predict the future? Are you a fucking psychic?
You can project the most likely scenario. Anything is possible, but some things are far more likely than others.
Try learning something instead of arrogantly basking in your ignorance.

Um, before you call someone else arrogant take a look in the mirror, pencil neck.
And while all the rest of us unwashed are going back to our local CC's, to take a course in crystal ball gazing, maybe you could take 2. One for actually learning to give a lecture on how not to put your audience to sleep by the end of the first paragraph, and two how to shrink that dome of yours, so you can fit through your moms front door, instead of having to use the hatch to your basement "apartment."

How's this for stats?
The baseball is a different freaking size. Don't tell me it doesn't matter, or that he'll get used to it, because it DOES matter and it IS a big deal.
Have you SEEN Japanese hitters? Plate discipline isn't something you see a lot of, compared to US baseball. If hitters lay off the junk, what's left? Yeah, he's got a good fastball, but, honestly he is Dice K 2.0.
The extra day of rest is a bigger deal than many people think. Physically, mentally, it's different.
He doesn't speak English and he'll be in a foreign land instead of the comfort of the country where he is a rock star. It makes a difference mentally. It's not a small issue.
Look at the track record of Japanese pitchers … it's not good. Is he THAT MUCH better than everyone else? Maybe. Is he more durable than everyone else? Maybe. Can he adapt better to a different sized ball, different batters, different plate discipline, etc.? Maybe. Can he overcome the cultural issues, the pitching every 5th day, the media scrutiny, getting crucified when he has a bad game? Maybe.
In short, that's a lot of maybes. And if I'm spending $100 plus million, I've got issues with that many maybes. And don't forget, the contract doesn't just go away if he sucks, and we've got a lot of big pitching contracts on the books for next year already. I just don't see the need to take this kind of risk at this point in time.

But the rotation does need an upgrade…
Kuroda for 13 million this year.

Why do people pretend that no Japanese pitcher has ever succeeded?
Hideo Nomo had two tremendous seasons and three additional above-average seasons. Daisuke Matsuzaka was solid over his first two seasons. Hiroki Kuroda has been quite good over the course of his MLB career.
In the less-hyped department, Masato Yoshii was an average pitcher for a few years and Tomo Ohka, Kenshin Kawakami, and Kaz Ishii were decent.
To me, it seems like Hideki Irabu and Kei Igawa were the only real busts to come over from Japan – it just so happens that those are the two that Yankees fans are most familiar with.
At the end of the day, though Darvish will be heading stateside at a younger age than all but Tomo Ohka, and he was far more dominant than any of the aforementioned pitchers. Further, he's performed quite well in the WBC, which, at the very least, gives him a bit more exposure than the others had to non-NPB baseball.

I may have parasitic brain amoebas but I think there is still a fair chance yankees have the leading bid and are keeping it really quiet. somebody drank too much Molson and gave away figures of the Blue Jays top bid of 44M. If the yanks were truly interested in signing Darvish they should need to top Dice-K's fee of 51.111 mil. It would be in their best interest to STFU about the bid unless they win it if they need to go to Plan B (morning after pill). I'm hoping to be surprised on tuesday.

Mailbox Question from Bexy: Have you ever been intimate with Joe and/or Ben?
Good question Bex! Absolutlely, as we make it abundantly clear we are all VERY liberal and hate all things conservative. Back in high school, twelfth grade, we were all drinking nattie ice and Ben just pulled out what looked like a pixie stick, Joe and I laughed for 7-10 minutes until we realized it was a actually his "magic stick.". I instantly blew him down until he filled my face up then I kissed Joe to share the lovely flavor with him. Then Joe pulled out his 13.5 inch giant Polish cock, it kind of ripped my face a little, but I still finished him off. We've been doing that same routine ever since, once a week. It shows how consistent and dedicated we are. We figured as long as we don't cuddle afterwards, it's not gay! Also remember that correlation doesnt imply causation.

Next Question from Ted Nelson: Why does everyone call me names and argue with me?
Great question Ted! It's because your tendency to build up straw man arguments and put words in people's mouths, kind of how I put people's junk in mine. I accept what I do as "cost of doing business", you Mr. Nelson, are in denial. If you want to come over to my moms basement I can further explain it, just bring some petroleum jelly, a box of baseball cards and some of your dads underwear! TSJC will be joining us via Skype to rub out some knuckle children and Bexy will be in charge of the Live Chat, giving all the action play by play to all the RAB-ites!
Don't sign any white pitchers because of Burnett!!!

Next Question comes to us from the future of RAB, Carlosolgist, "When did you first realize you liked imitate relations with dudes?"
Great question Carlos! When I figured there was a non-zero chance I'd succeed in carnal relations with the opposite sex, I focused my attention on pleasing men. I've sense pleased 47 men in random glory holes from bed-stuy to Brooklyn, not counting Ben and Joe. Maybe one day Bexy will give me another chance, but I'm pretty sure TSJC stretched that hole as to where it would sound like a constant queef upon entry of my 4.2 incher. If their are any women who would like to give me a chance, please email me at email@example.com. Until then, more of the same. If they don't see me, technically it doesn't make me gay. I hope that answered your question Carlos, we're having a party in the basement tonight, all the RAB guys and a lady-boy, you're more than welcome to join in and give it a try.

Police arrest man sought in murder cases after KC motel search
Updated On: Jan 14 2014 10:13:38 PM CST
Kansas City police have arrested a man who had been sought on multiple murder charges.
The arrest came during a search of an area near 63rd Street and Highway 350. Officers said the search followed a stakeout at the Crown Lodge motel nearby.
Investigators said they also detained a woman. Police said they believe she was with the man they were looking for.
The office manager at the motel told KMBC 9 News that a couple checked in on Monday. The woman said she didn't want her name listed because she didn't want her boyfriend to find them.
Police showed up at the motel Tuesday looking for people matching the descriptions of those guests. They waited for the couple to return.
Late Tuesday, police surrounded the woods behind the motel. They took the woman into custody at a car wash on 63rd Street.
Police will not confirm whether the man was being sought in connection with a triple shooting near Blue Parkway and Hardesty early in the day Tuesday. Two of the people shot in that incident later died of their injuries.

That is about it when it coms to processed products. And, when I say processed, it is not meant in a traditional sense as thse products are actually healthy. Most of the food I buy is whole food and I prepare everything myself by following various recipes. Like I said before, Wild Oats or Whole Foods are excellent stores to pick up vegan and, organic food.
Thanks Vegan, I'll pm you soon. I was also interested if you buy organic and natural non-food products such as toothpaste, soaps, deodorants, etc.

This was an last minute creation to go with Meatloaf. I scrambled this together and the "tweens" loved it!
Any creamy kind but "Natural", "Old-Fashioned" or fresh homemade. These may have too much oil to work well.
servings6 to 8 serving bowls
Ingredients3/4 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
3 - 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
Dash of Salt and Pepper
2/3 Cup Chicken Stock
1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
1 lb Angel Hair Pasta
PreparationFollow package directions for pasta. While boiling the pasta combine over low heat all but heavy cream. After sauce is smooth add heavy cream. It doesn't take long and you don't want the sauce cooking and sitting long as a "skin" will form on sauce.

(CNN) — The Food and Drug Administration has listed on its website more than 3,000 medical facilities across the nation that have received potentially tainted products and urged that patients who received higher-risk products be wary.
Of the facilities identified as having received products from the New England Compounding Center, nearly half (1,279) received medications that the FDA considers at higher risk of causing an infection.
Tainted medications from the compounding center have been blamed for an outbreak of fungal meningitis that has caused 24 deaths and 317 cases of illness.
In a posting late Tuesday, the drug agency urged the facilities to warn patients who may have received the higher-risk products to be alert to the signs of fungal meningitis, which include headache and fever.
The agency said it did not know how many patients may have received the compounding center products in general or how many may have received the high-risk medications.
The listing was posted hours after federal authorities launched a criminal investigation into the company's safety practices.
In addition, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy has voted to revoke permanently the New England Compounding Center's license to operate in the state as well as the licenses of the company's three principal pharmacists.
Those moves were announced in the wake of a damning nine-page report released Tuesday by the pharmacy board, which is part of the state's Department of Public Health.

HDTV-based video telephony has always been a holy grail of sorts. It's such a natural milieu for video chatting — big screen to get a broad view of the whole fam damily and all that. But no TV-based video telephony system has been taken off, for one reason: You always had to buy two gadgets to attach to your HDTV to video telephonate, one for you and one for whomever you wanted to video telephonate with. What we want is to video telephonate as we do on our laptops and desktop PCs, with anyone anytime, regardless of the HDTV we own and regardless of the video telephony gadget we have connected to it (if any). Several recent developments — and a future trend too long in the unveiling — may expand this limited HDTV video telephony landscape and jump-start our (I believe) latent desire to WANT to video telephonate via our HDTVs.

NitroMed Distributing Heart Drug
Shares of NitroMed (NTMD) jumped Friday after the Lexington, Mass., company began distributing its congestive heart failure drug BiDil.
The drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration June 23 for treating African-Americans, the first instance of a drug being approved for a specific ethnic group.
NitroMed advanced $2.34, or 12%, to $21.79 late Friday afternoon on trading volume that was eight times greater than the average daily volume for the past three months. BiDil will be priced at a wholesale acquisition cost of $1.80 per tablet and supplied to pharmacists in bottles of 180 tablets. NitroMed expects that BiDil samples will be available in doctors' offices next week and available in pharmacies during the following week.
The FDA approved the drug based primarily on a clinical trial showing that BiDil had a significant beneficial effect on African-Americans with congestive heart failure. Previous clinical trials involving a more diverse population were inconclusive.The suggested price exceeds what some analysts had forecast. Patients will start by taking one pill three times a day; if necessary, they could take two pills three times a day, according to the BiDil prescribing instructions. Citing information from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NitroMed says African-Americans between the ages of 45 and 64 are 2.5 times more likely to die from heart failure than Caucasians in the same age range. BiDil is a combination of two generic drugs -- hydralazine, for high blood pressure, and isosorbide dinitrate, for chest pains associated with heart disease. Neither of the components alone has been approved for treating heart failure.

Did you know that your gadget likes art as much as you? It's true. We've been talking to
your phone and it told us that all it really wants is to be fully decked out in one of the
zillions of amazingly unique designs from Redbubble's brilliant artists. So thanks to our cases
and skins we've got a few ways for you to appease your tech friend and hold off the inevitable
device-driven overthrow of humanity for at least another year.
Not only do your phones and tablets want to look great, but they also need protection,
from you, because you drop everything and break it. We've seen you do it. So we've created the
toughest cases to protect your most precious of daily devices from getting hurt. Our cases come
in either a Snap or Tough variation and are constructed from the finest Amorphous Polymer, which
sounds like it just crawled from the sea but is actually a very strong plastic that's apparently
used in outer space.
The Snap is a slim fitting one-piece clip-on case. Perfect for keeping the smooth lines in
your skinny jeans. We know how important that is. The Tough is a clip-on case with a unique
inner silicon absorbing sleeve to take the stress from a drop. Ideal for people who lead rough or
accident prone lifestyles (or just like to sound dangerous).
We currently offer the snap & tough for the following styles:
We're not sure if you know this, but your phones, tablets, and laptops are very bashful.
And the fact that you insist on trotting them around town in their birthday suits is so embarrassing
for them. So why not clothe them while simultaneously protecting them from scratches and gut-wrenching
humiliation with one of Redbubble's new skins?
Each scratch-resistant, custom cut, vinyl skin is easy to apply and features mind-melting colours,
eye-popping designs, and the opportunity to express your unique sense of individuality and all the reasons
why you and your device are pretty much the coolest kids on your block.
We currently offer Skins for the following styles:
Close-up of Buddha in a grungy style.
buddha, buddism, meditation, contemplation, compassion, love, peace, faith, hope, religion, religious, belief, asia, oriental, case, decorative, zen, background, vintage, texture, wallpaper

In 2003, the equity markets finally broke a three-year losing streak and the corporate bond market continued a strong rally that began in late 2002. Many pundits argued that the stock market recovery heralded a new bull market; others pointed out that the underpinnings of the rally were weak. In the credit markets, a lot of noise was made about a "bond bubble" as the Federal Reserve kept U.S. interest rates at record lows, while consumers and businesses continued to borrow at unprecedented levels.
As 2003 progressed, two things became increasingly clear:
Investors were prepared to ignore evidence of long-term economic problems and put money to work in stocks and bonds. Significant financial imbalances simply were not being taken into account, including a burgeoning U.S. current account deficit, a sharp deterioration in U.S. government finances, an overvalued dollar, huge corporate pension shortfalls, continued structural weakness in the European and Japanese economies, increasing protectionist noises, and geopolitical risk in the Middle East and the Korean peninsula.
Investors also jumped for joy (and dug into their pockets) at every hint of an economic revival — despite the fact that evidence of real recover was inadequate until the fourth quarter of 2003 (by which time the markets already had rallied impressively). By December, there were promising signs that the economy was on the road to recovery (just in time for the 2004 presidential election). Living up to the dictum that "bull markets climb a wall of worry," market participants chose to believe that Herculean efforts at monetary and fiscal stimulus finally would succeed in reviving the U.S. economy from three years of doldrums. All of the major equity indices rallied strongly throughout the year. But one worrisome indicator was that the most speculative Nasdaq stocks rallied the most. The stock of companies like Amazon.com, Inc., eBay Inc. and Yahoo! Inc. were approaching the kind of stratospheric multiples last seen before the Internet stock bubble burst in 2000.
These astronomical share prices called to mind the words of a participant in the 18th century South Sea Bubble (England's scheme for privatizing its debt through the South Sea Company, whose shares became valued beyond all reason): "The additional rise above the true capital will only be imaginary; one added to one, by any stretch of vulgar arithmetic, will never make three and a half, consequently any fictitious value must be a loss to some person or other first or last. The only way to prevent it to oneself must be to sell out betimes, and so let the Devil take the hindmost."1
For investors eager to buy last year's inflated stocks, there were plenty of insiders eager to sell them. This was an ominous sign. Once again, those who knew the most were selling to those who knew the least. Insider sales, particularly at the most egregiously overvalued technology companies, reached record levels as the year progressed. Insiders made certain that somebody else would be left holding the bag when stock prices returned to earth.
The corporate bond market experienced similar exuberance as bond prices recovered from the unjustifiable low of the summer of 2002. The wireless telephone operator Nextel Communications Inc. saw its two most widely traded issues — the 9.5 percent bonds due 2011 and the 9.375 percent bonds due 2009 — rally from the high 40s in the summer of 2002 to over 110 by December 2003. The average spread on BB-rated bonds shrunk from 607 basis points on Dec. 31, 2002 to 326 in mid-October 2003, according to Credit Suisse First Boston. This was both the quickest and sharpest bond rally in the history of the less-than-investment grade markets, and investment-grade bonds followed suit.
The high-yield bond market enjoyed its best performance in a decade as investors still smarting from the equity market collapse poured money into high-yield mutual funds. High returns are not unusual in the wake of years like 2001 and 2002, when the corporate default rate exceeded 10 percent. But just as the most speculative stocks rallied the most, so too did the most speculative bonds. According to Lehman Brothers, CCC-rated bonds (almost 50 percent of which end up defaulting) returned 51.17 percent, while BB-rated bonds returned 15.9 percent during the first three quarters of 2003.
Of course, looking at a longer period, returns on BB-rated bonds were superior to those for lower-rated bonds, on a risk-adjusted and liquidity-adjusted basis. Collateralized debt obligations, previously the buyers of last resort for new bond issues, were replaced by the high-yield mutual funds as issuers lined up to sell debt with extremely low coupons. An insatiable demand for bonds created the opportunity for many companies seen as weak credits in 2002 to come to market to refinance their existing debt, extend maturities, and lower their interest costs.
In the deregulated energy sector, previously considered on life support, companies such as Calpine Corp., El Paso Corp. and Dynegy Inc. were able to avoid bankruptcy and sell billions of dollars of bonds to yield-hungry investors. These sales did nothing to solve the long-term problems facing these companies — not the least of which was low electricity prices — but did allow them to live to see another day. The same phenomenon occurred in many industries, as companies met a welcoming party at virtually every turn in the markets.
One of the rare examples of a company forced to withdraw (and refile months later) a new bond offering was Charter Communications, Inc., Paul Allen's highly leveraged cable television company. In this rare instance, investors apparently remembered that high-yield bonds are not true bonds — they are "equities in disguise" and carry all the risk of equities but none of the profit potential.
Corporate bond prices and spreads did not reflect the underlying credit risk associated with owning high-yield bonds. The default rate did drop from over 10 percent in 2001 and 2002 to the range of 5 percent to 6 percent in 2003, but that rate still exceeded historical norms and hardly indicated a robust credit environment. The corporate bond market has set itself up for a sharp reversal when the Federal Reserve begins to raise interest rates. The question is whether that will occur early in 2004 or after the Presidential election. Either way, 2004 will be a much more difficult year for bond investors than 2003, and 2005 is likely to be ugly by any standard.
The leveraged bank loan market also was a friendly venue for corporate borrowers. As confidence in an economic recovery increased in the latter half of 2003, borrowers returned to lenders in droves to request that their interest rates be lowered. This had little to do with improved corporate financial performance — in most cases, nothing of the kind occurred. But lenders, who today consist primarily of institutional investors as opposed to banks, acquiesced to these requests anyway.
As a result, this market — like any market that doesn't properly price risk — set itself up for a reversal in 2004 if corporate profits don't revive. The seeming strength of this market facilitated the reappearance of a number of large leveraged buyouts toward year-end as private equity firms dipped their toes back into the water after several years of poor returns.
The problem with all of these rallies is that they were built as much on hope — and lack of alternatives, with interest rates at record lows — as on reality. In most cases, improved corporate profitability only seemed impressive compared to the unduly depressed levels of the last two years. In virtually all cases, manufacturing companies continued to experience deflationary pressures resulting from the price-deadening combination of technology and globalization.
Corporate profitability was only modestly improving, and continued to fall short of the performance needed to justify the high stock valuations and tight credit spreads that characterized the market by year's end. Just as in the late 1990s, stock prices were divorced from underlying value, as a surfeit of liquidity resulting from lax monetary policy provided fuel for a rally that corporate financial performance couldn't support.
Moreover, like all statistics, the government economic numbers that bulls were relying upon were complex and subject to different interpretations. Much-touted second quarter growth in the computer sector was largely a result of hedonic pricing adjustments included in the government numbers. These adjustments are intended to capture quality improvements — but without them, computer spending was not as robust as it seemed to be.
The numbers also contained less-technical cause for concern. Much of the economic strength seen in the third quarter of 2003 was attributable to inventory destocking, not new production. Defense spending associated with the "war on terror" and the war in Iraq provided $40.6 billion of the reported second quarter gross domestic product growth of $73.1 billion. Such spending is unlikely to stay at these high levels despite the ongoing costs of the Iraqi occupation. The labor markets' continued weakness through the early part of the fourth quarter of 2003 suggests that consumer spending could trail off in 2004.
It will take several more quarters of data to determine whether the apparent strength cited in reports on productivity and GDP growth is genuine and sustainable. But today's momentum-driven financial markets don't have the patience to wait for confirmation. Today's motto is, "buy now and ask questions later," even though it then will be too late to sell.
Overall, the markets appeared to have gotten ahead of themselves as the fourth quarter unfolded. There are two critical, and inter-related, pieces of the economic puzzle that investors should watch as the year unfolds. The first is whether the Federal Reserve finally starts to raise interest rates in 2004, or waits until after the November election. If the Federal Reserve believes the economy is truly reviving and inflation is again a threat, it will raise rates, in which case fixed-income securities will suffer. If the Federal Reserve leaves interest rates unchanged, this could suggest that the economy is not as strong as it seems; then stocks and bonds could descend from the lofty perches they've been occupying.
The second thing to watch is the U.S. dollar, because that will be the field upon which continuing global imbalances will play out. A dollar crash — which the authorities will do everything in their power to avoid — would be catastrophic for the global economy and financial markets. A slow but steady decline in the dollar is probably the most likely scenario.
As we enter 2004, the financial markets and the global economy are at an inflection point. The imbalances created by the late 1990s stock market bubble have yet to be fully corrected; instead they have been kept on life support by the Federal Reserve (through low interest rates) and President Bush (through two rounds of tax cuts).
In short, investors should proceed with extreme caution. Bond portfolios should be kept short in duration. The most speculative stocks — those sporting price/earnings ratios in the high double or triple digits — should be sold as soon as possible. Investors should plan for higher interest rates, a lower dollar — and all that brings in 2004 and 2005.

Lord Puttnam Urges Continued Investment in UK Distribution to Build Film Audiences
In a keynote speech to the UK film industry on Tuesday, Lord David Puttnam of Queensgate CBE and President of Film Distributors' Association (FDA), stressed the importance of continued support and public investment in UK film distribution in order to allow UK cinema admissions and box-office to continue to flourish.
The FDA Yearbook 2012 reveals latest statistics on film and cinema audiences and in a year in which record investments powered UK box-offices, calls for further support and sustained funding and improved copyright enforcement were made.
In announcing publication of the FDA Yearbook 2012, the release of a new cinema trailer highlighting British achievement in film as part of the GREAT campaign for 2012, and an approach to copyright to support investors and creators, Lord Puttnam said:
"The FDA Yearbook is packed with evidence and comment on an outstanding, modern, success story: a copyright-based business sector – in this case, film distribution – which delivers significant economic, social and cultural benefits to Britain and the wider world."
"The key to the digital future – or rather, the present – lies in forging new models, creating and sustaining new relationships with audiences. Here in Britain, we want our creative industries to remain at the forefront of the digital economy. A vital step for the technology sector is to signpost legitimate search options far more clearly and to delete links to sites that promote illegally sourced content. If the UK is to get a new Digital Copyright Exchange emerging from the Hargreaves and Hooper reviews, I hope the Government will ensure that it focuses solely on information to assist licensors and licensees to link up, rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel that is commercial trading."
Lord Puttnam also called for a new public information campaign, once the various government-backed reviews of aspects of copyright have run their course, to illustrate the role of copyright in enabling the creative industries to develop, attract jobs and investment, and deliver valuable experiences to audiences. 10% of national exports from the UK are derived from the creative industries so naturally protecting intellectual property should be a key issue.

Waking up and smelling the coffee?
Changing tastes: Why working from the coffee shop is losing its appeal for professionals in the Middle East
March 13, 2013 12:27 by kippreport
Coffee shops have long been an appealing work-place for aspiring writers and professionals. And Kipp can certainly understand why. The smoky aroma of freshly-ground Arabica beans, the soothing 'whooshing' sound of heating frothy milk and the possibility of a chance encounter with a stranger all merge together to drive creative stimulation. It's the subtle balance between working in a bustling community setting, while still having all the solitude you need to focus and get your creative juices flowing.
At some point in time, most of us would have had some sort of internal dialogue with ourselves about the appeal of 'coffee shop working'. Strolling by a buzzing cafe during our lunch breaks, we look towards the sea of faces buried in books, newspapers and laptops and we long for that comfort.
Okay, it's time to burst that bubble. A recent survey by Regus has revealed that 'coffee shop working' is quickly losing its appeal among professionals in the Middle East. They've posed the question – whether they prefer coffee shops as productive work settings – to 26,000 business people across the world and the answer was a resounding 'no'.
Why has the notion of productively working in a cafe lost its gravitas? The top four reasons were: Having to look after belongings at all times (77%), privacy of documents and conversations (72%), noisy customers disturbing their productivity (60%) and lack of access to company documents (60%).
We know that the occasional drop-by for a strong espresso while responding to a few emails can be appealing and it's always nice to get out of the office – even if just for a change of scenery – but not on a regular basis. Regus says 'Trendy business pundits' have been claiming that working from cafes is becoming increasingly popular, but the survey results strongly suggest otherwise.
Garry Gürtler, VP for Middle East and Africa, says their latest research shows that, while it may suit for short spells, working for any length of time from a coffee shop can seriously affect productivity.
"Our previous research has shown that 72% of people globally find flexible working makes them more productive – but this is only in a professional, flexible workspace – as evidenced by our respondents' views on low coffee shop productivity."

Bruce Jenner is changing his look in an arguably radical way, but day-to-day Bruce is a man's man.
At the time of this post, Bruce is having lunch in the men's only dining room at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks. He's a fixture at the club, golfing almost every day -- typically wearing khakis and golf shirts.
People at the club tell us ... Bruce -- who is one of the best golfers there -- talks about sports all the time. He regularly recounts his glory days at the '76 Olympics. And he loves talking about helicopters.
Bruce is very outgoing, helping people out -- especially kids -- giving them pointers.
It's a pretty sharp contrast -- Bruce's physical appearance and his masculine personality.
By the way ... as for his golfing skills ... they're phenomenal. He has a 5 handicap, according to the Southern California Golf Ass'n.
'Mob' Wife
Drops $$$$$ on
Surgically-Enhanced Ass
"Mob Wives" star Renee Graziano plans to kick off next season with a LOT more booty -- telling TMZ, she went under the knife yesterday ... for a $30,000 full-body surgery, including a massive ASS LIFT.
Renee says she was a little nervous about the 5-hour procedure -- but gave it a lot of thought, and ultimately decided to take the plunge. According to Renee, the "full-body lift" also includes a tummy tuck.
The mafiosa tells us, she's not getting the surgery because she's self-conscious -- she's getting it because she gained a lot of weight since Season One ... and she's always wanted junk in her trunk.
According to Renee, the show had nothing to do with the procedure -- "Mob Wives" didn't pressure her to get the work done ... and they didn't pay for it either.
The recovery time for such major surgery takes about 10 days -- but once she's in the clear, Renee tells us, she can't wait to get naked.
