The summary is bad because its a c&p of TOA summary which seems to be just a pulp piece on various ageing research topics. That's not what the original paper was about. The original paper in Nature was kinda cool in itself. Simple summary - Nematodes lasted 70% longer when fed a ton of ÃZ±-KG. Some new areas to be studied, but nothing much to see here.

Most homeowners strive for that perfect lush green lawn and landscaping with bright green tropical plants. It is a time consuming and labor intensive process which leave you frustrated when it is ruined by bugs and insects. South Florida is home to several bugs that not only do damage to your lawn, but pose health and safety risks as well. It's essential you get your lawn treated from a lawn pest control professional to ensure your family's safety and preserve your hard work.
Fire Ants
Fire Ants are a common insect in South Florida that can attack humans and pets. They not only attack, but with force with hundreds and sometimes thousands in a colony. According to a University of South Florida publication there are several varieties of fire ants that thrive in the warm climate of South Florida. One variety is a mound building type that can wreak havoc on your landscaping building mounds up to 18 inches in diameter. It is essential that you get your lawn treated when you first see these ants or before to prevent a colony from forming.
Grasshoppers are a common outdoor insect that most homeowners don't think of as a pest. In some areas their population can become out of control and they do severe damage to common landscaping plants. They constantly feed on green vegetation and often times the plants you cherish and maintain on a regular basis.
There are two types of whiteflies in southern Florida which affect a variety of trees and plants including ficus, palms and some fruit trees. Symptoms of an infestation include a large number of small white-colored flies, discolored leaves or an excessive amount of fallen leaves or branches. Treatment for these is necessary as they not only damage your landscaping but can affect your outdoor pool and ponds.

Hulett Environmental offers the following prevention tips for homeowners to help guard against termites:
For more information on termites, please visit www.bugs.com
As of 2006 there are 9,000 to 10,000 known ant species and researchers believe that there may be more than 20,000 species worldwide. With this fact in mind it is no surprise that 25% of homeowners listed ants as their main pest concern according to research conducted in 2005 by the National Pest Management Association. This same study revealed that more than half of all homeowners have had problems with ants – making them the most prevalent pest nationwide.
Ants are social insects and form highly organized colonies with up to millions of members each having a role. Spotting one ant unfortunately signifies that the troops are somewhere close by.
Homeowners should particularly watch out for fire and carpenter ants. Fire ants, found mainly in the south, are vicious and can sting repeatedly if disturbed. Carpenter ants attack wood that is or has been wet or damaged by mold and can build tunnels through dry, undamaged wood causing costly property damage.
Hulett Environmental Services offers the following tips for minimizing invasion by ants:

Roger Goodell
Domestic Violence At Forefront Of NFL In 2014
The video of the hit to the face, the pictures of the lash marks on a young boy's body and all the rest of the unseemly evidence rolled out over days and weeks in a steady, stomach-churning stream.
Peterson, NFL Players Union Sue League Over Suspension
The legal case with Vikings running back Adrian Peterson took another step forward Monday morning as the NFL Players Association filed a lawsuit on behalf of Peterson over the denial of his appealed suspension.
Peterson To NFL Exec: 'How Much More You All Want'
Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson told a top NFL executive in the days leading up to his suspension for the rest of 2014 that he wanted Commissioner Roger Goodell to consider that he'd already lost $4 million in endorsements and missed more than half the season while his child abuse case played out.
NFL Owners Approve New Personal Conduct Policy
NFL owners unanimously approved changes to the league personal conduct policy Wednesday, but Commissioner Roger Goodell will retain authority to rule on appeals.
Hearings Over, Peterson Waits For Decision On Appeal
The hearings are done, and now we wait for the NFL to make a decision on Adrian Peterson's appeal. Peterson wants his season-ending suspension overturned.
NFL Executive Troy Vincent Speaks During Second Day Of Peterson Appeal Trial
Late Thursday afternoon Adrian Peterson's appeal before an NFL hearing officer wrapped up. This was the second day of the hearing. While Peterson made a statement at the hearing on Tuesday, he didn't appear in person Thursday but reportedly listened in via conference call.
Report: Zimmer Thinks Peterson Will Return To Vikings
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer thinks Adrian Peterson might return to the team after he's reinstated into the NFL next spring, according to a report from ESPN.com.
NFL Will Hear Adrian Peterson's Appeal Dec. 2
Adrian Peterson's hearing for the appeal of his suspension will be held on Dec. 2. And it will not be in front of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The NFL announced Friday that longtime hearing officer Harold Henderson will preside over the proceedings involving the Minnesota Vikings star running back.
Vikings Fans, Former Players React To AP Suspension
Adrian Peterson will not be returning to football anytime soon, after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended the Vikings running back without pay. In a letter to Peterson, Goodell said his reinstatement would be contingent on him completing a treatment and counseling program.
NFLPA And NFL Disagree On Peterson's Immediate Future
The National Football League and NFL Players Association may be preparing to battle over Adrian Peterson's immediate future. The league has declined to reinstate the star running back from the commissioner's exempt list until the league has reviewed the case. The union, however, believes Peterson should be removed from the list now that his legal matter has been resolved.
2nd Child Protection Petition Filed Against Adrian Peterson
More legal problems may be in store for Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Prosecutors in Hennepin County have filed a second child protection petition. It comes days after Peterson pleaded no contest to recklessly injuring his 4-year-old son by hitting him with a switch.

TTYM: Goodell Is Goofed, Harden Can't Dance And New Lingerie Leaguers?
Here are five amusing events moments in sports this week.
NFL Commissioner Breaks Silence On Adrian Peterson
When leadership was calling, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seemed to be missing in action. Goodell was saying very little publicly concerning the domestic violence case of Baltimore Raven star Ray Rice.
Five Things: Steelers Vs. Ravens Thursday Night Roundup
For just the second time in the past 11 regular-season games between Pittsburgh and Baltimore, the outcome was decided by more than a field goal, as the Ravens crushed the Steelers 26-6 last night at home.
Twitter Reacts To Ravens Releasing Ray Rice
Here is how players, sports pros and regular folks reacted to Ray Rice's suspension on Twitter.
Keidel: Josh Gordon And NFL Policy
It seems we've jumped into the pool of relativism since we got wind of Josh Gordon's season-long suspension for marijuana use. You have the indignant faction that can't believe someone who smokes weed gets a year while Ray Rice skates with a two-game suspension
Keidel: Rice Regrets, The World Forgets
No matter what Ray Rice said yesterday, it can't change what he did or the near-universal perception that aristocrats get more chances than we do. But Rice made one refreshing statement: His wife could do no wrong.
5 Places I'd Like To See The NFL Draft
The NFL just announced that the NFL Draft will not be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City next year. Here is my list of places that I'd like to see the NFL Draft.
Keidel: Pro Football Meets Johnny Football
All eyes and iPhones were on Johnny Manziel, who squirmed in his seat for 21 picks before landing in the wasteland we call Cleveland. He forced a smile and his signature salutation, rubbing his thumb and forefinger, a metaphor for counting his cash.
Top 5 Goofiest NFL Draft Moments
Will anything weird happen at the NFL Draft? Probably. But until then, here are our five favorite goofy NFL Draft moments.
Keidel: Ray Rice Another Crack In NFL Shield
Even by the pro athlete's subterranean standards, the Ray Rice video was shocking. He made no effort to heal or cradle or care for his unconscious fiancee.
Keidel: NFL Mansions And Expansions
Forever high on hubris, the sport is pondering extra games, playoff teams, and new franchises, perhaps in London or Los Angeles. And it feels like all are in the name of profit, not principle.
Super Bowl Ref, Blaine-Native Jerry Seeman Dies
Former NFL supervisor of officials Jerry Seeman, who worked as the chief referee in two Super Bowls, has died after a long bout with cancer at age 77. Seeman died Sunday at his home in Blaine, Minn., league spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed Monday. The St. Paul Pioneer Press first reported the death of Seeman, who was an NFL game official from 1975 to 1990, including 12 seasons as a lead referee. Seeman moved to the league office in 1991 and served 10 years as the supervisor of officials until his retirement. "Jerry modernized and improved NFL officiating during his 10 seasons leading the department," Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement distributed by the league. "He was very proud of being a football official, and he always made the NFL proud through his skill, integrity, and professionalism."

Salvia ID's 'Phyllis' and 'Mystic Spires'
Ralph Whisnant(z7b-8 NC)March 29, 2008
At the fall Raleigh swap I received an unrooted cutting of a Salvia labeled 'Phyllis' - the label was written with a metallic silver pen. It successfully rooted and over-wintered. I am curious to know if this is S. 'Phyllis Fancy' hybrid. I also have a plant that I got last spring that looks like a shorter version of S. 'Indigo Spires' that I think could be S. 'Mystic Spires'. Can anyone verify that they brought this plant to last spring's swap? I want to share it this spring and would like to verify its name before giving it to others.

I'm queuing up some posts for the rest of the week and I felt like I was due for a check in. All I could think about is how I really just need to air out some feelings I've been having. Officially, I've been in Seattle for 3 days and, overall, it's totally great. This feels like home… which is exactly the point of all of this, right?
It's just when I really start to think about things… that things get complicated in my head. There are so many things going on, so much change, so much unknown. When will my stuff arrive? Do the people in my new co-working space like me? Will I bump into my ex-boyfriend and will my hair actually be clean that day? When will my cat stop howling in the middle of the night because she's scared of the new apartment? And why is that man peeing in the alleyway below to my kitchen?
Stuff like that.
I haven't been sleeping well and I think I'm sort of fighting off a cold. My body needs a break in a big way. For the past few days, I was able to distract myself from everything thanks to the road trip, the new apartment, the new office, everything. Now though… it's really catching up to me.
So yeah… there's that. I just felt like I needed to get it out there and now I feel a bit calmer.

Best way to refinish this table damaged table top?
This 8 year old table never had a good finish from the start...it was damaged when it was delivered and had to be repaired then. Over the years it's become scratched and rubbed but the most recent damage is the white area caused by a combination of a hot dish and a spilled glass of water. Can someone help me with what would be the best way to refinish it? Can I do it myself? Or should I call a professional? I don't know what kind of wood or if it is veneer or not. Thank you in advance.
There's a scant possibility that the white is just in the very upper reaches of the finish and can be buffed out with rubbing compound, then waxed. Some people swear by toothpaste for this, but I use a auto body swirl mark remover. You'd have to polish the entire top to get it to have the fame sheen.
I use these (professionally) and have never had a problem removing a water blush in just a few minutes. You can also usually find them at Ace Hardware, Lowe's and Bed, Bath & Beyond in their cleaning / furniture care product aisle.
In my experience, rarely would you need to strip and refinish unless the finish is blistered and peeling off (I can't tell from the photo)
Likewise, you may need to buff out the whole top to even the sheen. The cloth will also remove light scuffing. Clean up the residual oil with an emulsion furniture polish

By Cecille Suerte Felipe, The Philippine Star | 01/31/2013 7:49 AM
Printer-friendly version [2] | Send to friend [3] | Share your views [4]
MANILA, Philippines - In the wake of abuses committed by a number of rogue policemen, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Alan Purisima is planning to outsource the process of hiring police officers to ensure a higher level of competence.
Purisima said he wants graduates of education, psychology, social work, mass communications and other professionals to become police officers.
He expressed belief that teachers, psychologists, social workers, journalists, and other professionals could serve the PNP better than criminology graduates.
"I don't even want criminology graduates to become police officers because they are just fit to become workers at the crime laboratory," he said.
Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas, meanwhile, said that President Aquino is alarmed over the recent series of violent incidents in Metro Manila.
Roxas, who has been keeping the President updated on the peace and order situation, expressed suspicion that crimes could be increasing in the metropolis, particularly because it is the country's richest region and business thrives here.
Purisima shared his comprehensive plans for the PNP during a meeting Tuesday night with editors and reporters of The STAR, the first media entity he visited since the President appointed him last Dec. 18.
He said the outsourcing system of hiring policemen could help reduce the reported corruption in the recruitment of police officers, purportedly committed by unscrupulous officials in charge of hiring PNP personnel.
He said the proposal was meant to address corruption and abuses being committed by police officers, the most recent of which include the alleged rape and extortion by two rookie policemen in Pasay City, and the questionable operation in Atimonan, Quezon last Jan. 6 which left 13 people dead.
The PNP chief said applicants who bribed their way into the police force would eventually become corrupt because they themselves were victims of corruption.
"We are trying to innovate. We are thinking of outsourcing. We will accept applicants, then we will endorse their application papers to the processor, a private human resource company, which will check everything, including their background and qualifications," said Purisima.
After the screening process, he said the private firm would send the list of qualified individuals back to the PNP, which would again screen the applicants and decide who among them would be accepted.
He pointed out that since the final approval of the hiring of policemen lies with the PNP leadership, the process would mean that only qualified individuals are accepted in the PNP.– With Jaime Laude

Time is slippery.
There are some seasons where time drags by and other seasons where time flies.
They say time flies when you are having fun, most likely because you become distracted in the focus of what you are enjoying, which makes time move quickly.
"I didn't have enough time to finish," says the high school student who wasn't disciplined enough to use their time wisely because the project was boring to them.
"I simply ran out of time," says the man enthralled in his hobby and didn't schedule appropriately.
Time ticks by the same way it has since the beginning. It is the most consistent thing in life. And yet, it becomes an excuse for most not because time changes, but rather because of our own self-control or lack of planning.
Quite possibly, our work has nothing to do with time, but rather with focused engagement. When we don't enjoy what we are doing (and have a lack of passion) then time becomes an excuse for us. "We ran out of time" means that we put it off until the last minute because we were dreading it and thus ran out of time to hit the deadline.
When we do love our work then we can become obsessed by it and miss appointments because of our focus.
How do you manage time? Are you bored with your work or enthralled? For most, it is a mixture. Some hate administrative work, while some love it. Some love to brainstorm, while others abhor it.
I absolutely dread administrative work and usually put it off until the stack of receipts becomes the leaning tower of expenses. That is when I deal with it. Surely there is a better way.
Here are some thoughts that you can take or leave:
- What % of your work do you love and what % do you despise? Make a list of good and the bad. Then put a % by each section. Do you love your job % wise more than you despise it?
- What areas do you find are difficult to do because either you are not good at that part of your job or you despise it? Is there a practical way to delegate or deal with those areas?
- Do you use excuses about time when it is really an issue of your focus?
Admit the areas you are bad at, make a plan to delegate or commit to getting them done and watch your productivity increase.
It is not time's fault that you missed your deadline. You are either in the wrong job, wrong role or you are obsessed by what you are doing and forgot to come up for air.
When you get real with time you will find you have enough time to get what you need to get done.

ProSieben's Red Arrow Makes Collective Digital Studio Investment
Collective Digital Studio has raised its first round of outside investment from Germany's ProSiebenSat.1.
The companies are not disclosing the size of the round, but CDS chairman Michael Green tells THR that the investment is "a significant eight figures" and represents a 20 percent stake in the Beverly Hills YouTube network.
The investment comes from ProSieben's production and distribution arm Red Arrow Entertainment, which oversees 15 production companies in nine countries.
Green calls the investment a "real meeting of the minds."
STORY: ProSieben Reports Higher Second-Quarter Results
Said Red Arrow managing director Jan Frouman: "Our partnership with CDS is a major strategic step forward for Red Arrow. Not only will we be expanding our global digital presence in a real and meaningful way but we will be doing it with a team who knows the space and shares our creative philosophy. We couldn't be more pleased."
CDS, a subsidiary of Collective Management Group, manages a YouTube multichannel network of more than 600 channels, including food-centric Epic Meal Time, that generates nearly 1 billion views each month. The firm also works with YouTube talent to produce, distribute and market online video across several platforms.
For example, CDS produced web series Video Game High School with Freddie Wong's Rocket Jump Studios. It also helped bring a series based on YouTube's The Annoying Orange to Nickelodeon and produced a Nickelodeon movie franchise based on Lucas Cruikshank's Fred Figglehorn character.
The network is the latest in a string of YouTube businesses to find support from traditional media companies. Warner Bros. led an investment in Machinima in early March and Disney acquired Maker Studios on Monday for up to $950 million.

"When many of our peers were out raising money we were kind of resistant to it," says Green. "We were building a business and were fiscally disciplined. As it started to prove itself, we wanted to continue to ramp it and scale it, which requires capital. We had a real story to tell when we went out into the marketplace."
ProSieben started a multichannel network called Studio71 in August 2013 that now generates more than 100 million video views a month. As part of its investment, Studio71 will now receive content from CDS and market it across its platforms. The two firms also will collaborate on programming, talent and technology initiatives.
Moelis & Co. advised CDS in the deal and Cooley LP handled legal representation. ProSieben was represented by Milbank.

This work investigated the profile of inflammation biomarkers in patients with chronic hepatitis C and its association with liver fibrosis, hepatic necroinflammatory activity, viral genotypes and cryoglobulinemia.
Subjects and methods
Seventy-eight untreated patients were studied. Biomarker levels were determined by immunoassays, cryoglobulinemia by cryoprecipitation and liver histopathology investigated using METAVIR scores.
Decreased levels of α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), C3 and haptoglobin (Hp) were observed in the patients (P < 0.0001). Increased α1-antitrypsin (P < 0.01) and ferritin (P < 0.0001) levels were found in this group, but C-reactive protein (CRP) and C4 levels were unaltered. Alanine aminotransferase inversely correlated with Hp (P < 0.01) and AGP (P = 0.01), whereas it was directly correlated with ferritin (P < 0.05) and AGP (P < 0.0001). The levels of CRP, C3 and C4 were lower in the patients with hepatic necroinflammatory activity (P < 0.05). Patients with advanced fibrosis had low levels of Hp and AGP (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). Neither infection with different viral genotypes nor cryoglobulinemia caused an alteration in biomarker levels.
Chronic hepatitis C virus infection alters the levels of some biomarkers, which are mainly observed in patients with liver fibrosis and hepatic necroinflammatory activity.

Travel Blogs from Svolvaer
... our chances and headed south from Svolvaer instead, Amazingly and fleetingly we spied a small break in the sky and the hint of blueness and the promise therefore of brighter conditions. It quickly turned dark and wintry again and an argument ensued as to whether we really did spy some blue sky or whether arctic sickness had set in which is where you start to imagine blue skies and sunshine. Either way, it remains that we have not seen the sun whilst ...
... those fjords, all dressed in white. It really is quite magical, And then with snow falling around us, it is just stunning.
The dream remains of course to shoot the Northern Lights. Unfortunately with all the cloud, there is no chance to see any lights, and not for the next few days at least. Hopefully the weather will break a little later in the week, otherwise we need Iceland to be kind to us.
The one where we swam with orcas!
... 2 other tourists waiting who happened to be going to the same hotel as us on the other side of the fjords- at least we knew we were going to the right place and so with no other option we waited for an hour in the dark and the snow for our ferry- right on time an hour later the ferry arrived and we ran on eager to get warm. Luckily the other couple had a phone and so called the hotel and they collected us the other side - it was around 9.30pm by the time we got there and were shown ...

Frances Schreuder, 65, Manhattan Socialite Who Was Convicted in Murder Case, Is Dead
By DOUGLAS MARTIN
Published: April 1, 2004
Frances B. Schreuder, a Manhattan socialite convicted in 1983 of persuading her teenage son to kill her wealthy father in Utah because of what she considered his stinginess, died on Tuesday at a hospice in San Diego. She was 65.
The cause was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Marilyn Reagan, her sister, said. Ms. Schreuder (pronounced SHROY-der) lived in San Diego.
The murder of Franklin Bradshaw in Salt Lake City on July 23, 1978, provoked intense news coverage and led to two books, two television miniseries and, as recently as this year, a documentary on Court TV.
''True crime is the hottest game in town,'' J. Anthony Lukas wrote in The New York Times Book Review about the two books, both published in 1985. One was ''My Mother's Request: A True Story of Money, Murder and Betrayal'' (Atheneum) by Jonathan Coleman; the other was ''Nutcracker: Money, Madness, Murder: A Family Album'' (Doubleday) by Shana Alexander.
''This is 'Dallas' and 'Dynasty' come to life,'' Bill Wells, the director one of the miniseries, for CBS, said in an interview with The Times in 1986.
The crime indeed involved fascinating characters and plot twists. There was Ms. Schreuder, who bought $40,000 earrings at Tiffany's and sat on the board of the New York City Ballet. Mr. Bradshaw was one of the country's richest men and was known as Utah's Howard Hughes, but he bought his clothes at thrift shops and used a Coors beer carton as a briefcase.
Marc F. Schreuder, the grandson who shot Mr. Bradshaw in the back and head with a .357 Magnum, testified at his mother's trial that she had told him : ''Look, Marc, it is not really killing. It is the right thing to do for us.''
Frances Bernice Bradshaw was born on April 6, 1938, in Salt Lake City. She attended Bryn Mawr but was suspended in 1958 for stealing and forging checks and was told that she could return only if she received psychiatric help.
In the summer of 1958 she lived in Manhattan at the Barbizon Hotel for Women and met Vittorio Gentile, a pearl merchant, at Gino restaurant on Lexington Avenue. They married in 1959 at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and in 1960 had two sons, Lorenzo in February and Marco in December.
After the couple divorced, the sons were called Larry and Marc. Larry, who has changed his last name to Bradshaw, now lives in Los Angeles. Marc Schreuder lives in Provo, Utah. In addition to Ms. Reagan, who lives in Manhattan, Ms. Schreuder is survived by a daughter from her second marriage, to Frederik Schreuder. She is Lavinia Schreuder of San Diego.
Mr. Coleman, the author, said in an interview that Frances Schreuder was skilled at manipulating her mother to get money, even as her father tired of supporting her extravagant life in New York. Her $360,000 donation to the New York City Ballet was the largest lump-sum contribution in the company's history up to that time.
At the time, news reports said she made contributions to the ballet and other New York causes, but Ms. Reagan said in an interview yesterday that Mrs. Schreuder's mother, Berenice Bradshaw, actually made most of them.
Mr. Bradshaw made his fortune by starting a chain of auto parts stores and acquiring federal oil and gas leases. Ms. Schreuder came to believe she might be disinherited, and her simmering resentment blossomed into a murder plot that at one point involved hiring what turned out to be a bogus hit man for $5,000.
The summer before the killing, when her sons went to Salt Lake City to work in their grandfather's company, she gave them poison to put in his food, Mr. Coleman said.
After the murder, the police first suspected a transient. But a year later, the murder weapon surfaced in Manhattan, and the police traced Marc Schreuder's journey days before the killing, to Utah by way of Texas, where he bought the murder weapon.
Although Mrs. Bradshaw spent $2 million on the legal defense of Marc Schreuder and his mother, Marc Schreuder was convicted of second-degree murder in 1982 and served 12 years in prison. Ms. Schreuder was convicted of first-degree murder the next year and was imprisoned for 13 years.
Marc Schreuder testified against his mother, saying she must be stopped, according to Mr. Coleman's book. ''I'm doing this for Lavinia,'' he said of his sister. ''Someone should care about Lavinia.''
Ms. Schreuder, who earned two sociology degrees while in prison, worked briefly for the Marriott Corporation in Salt Lake City before moving to San Diego. She inherited a comfortable income from her mother, despite family members' efforts to invoke a statute barring convicted killers from inheriting anything from their victims. A judge ruled that the law did not govern Berenice Bradshaw's choice of heirs.

CORPORATE STOCK-BUYBACK PROGRAMS are so commonplace as to barely merit acknowledgement by investors. Even stock analysts tend to ignore them.
Surprisingly, it turns out stock-buyback programs may create options trading opportunities.
Goldman Sachs, which recently studied this issue, is telling clients to start thinking of buyback programs as a persistent bid supporting stocks that can be exploited by selling puts.
After all, buyback programs represent a very large investor -- the company -- buying its own stock, which theoretically should support prices.
The study, authored by Anthony Carpet, Laura Conigliaro, Robert Boroujerdi, Maria Grant and Deep Mehta, concludes that selling puts is an attractive way to buy stock, or increase exposure, to companies with large buyback programs.
They found buyback programs potentially reduce the implied volatility of put options. And that may have broader implications for options volatility, which is the most important part of options prices.
While this point was not mentioned in the report, the findings suggest buyback programs might even lower overall options volatility. Why? Puts, which increase in value when stock prices decline, drive overall options volatility.
The natural position of investors is long -- that is they buy stocks and hope that prices increase -- so if stock-buyback programs reduce downside put volatility because someone is theoretically always buying stock if its price declines, options traders agile enough to isolate volatility may be presented with trading opportunities otherwise hidden.
To be sure, this buyback-volatility thesis, both for puts and for overall implied volatility, will be tested in 2010.
Many corporations' hoarded cash during the credit crisis as they were as unsure as individual investors as to what might occur. Goldman's analysts opine that low interest rates and big cash piles will now prompt many companies to take action. They think stock-buyback programs may prove popular.

The analysts say selling puts can be an attractive trading tactic because stock buybacks are generally positive for stocks, and for put volatility as they expect investors will perceive buyback programs as a sign of support for the stock at lower prices.
"These two outcomes are beneficial for put sellers who benefit both from stocks rising and volatility falling, both in general and in puts specifically," the analysts conclude.
While Goldman Sachs would like clients to trade these puts with the bank's traders in the private, over-the-counter markets where options contracts can be customized, the analysts say the listed markets are also suitable.
These are the characteristics of what they say makes a good put sale on a stock-buyback program:
- Sell puts that expire in six months and that are 5% out-of-the-money. This means the puts increase in value if the stock price declines by 5%. Of course, investors can pick any strike price that they wish but that changes the probabilities of simply collecting money for selling puts and buying stock.
- Six-month implied volatility is higher than three- and six-month realized volatility, indicating that the options market thinks the stock has a greater chance of moving in the future than in the past.
- Put volatility is elevated, as evidenced by "skew" -- the difference between out-of-the-money put and call implied volatility -- being higher than the average Standard & Poor's 500 stock.
- Buy- or Neutral-rated stocks that have not yet exceeded Goldman's price targets.
Of the companies covered by Goldman's research analysts, they estimate there exists about $1 trillion in buyback programs, an amount equal to nearly 10% of the market capitalization of the stocks the bank follows.
Of that $1 trillion, 56% of the money already has been deployed to buy stocks, while 13% remains suspended due to the economic and market upheavals that began in 2008. The analysts estimate this leaves "$332 billion in active dry powder, with another $134 billion suspended and on the sidelines for a total of roughly $465 billion."

Ah. I was just hoping to get that camo beach towel. I'll probably still wake up tomorrow just to see what's what. Thanks for providing the information, though. Really appreciate it.It was dark in the store and its possible I could've missed something.
I only listed what I saw in the store. I'm more than positive the shorts, jersey, and basketball shorts would have jumped out to me as I'm trying to get the basketball jersey.

Coach in Malabon/Manila
Hello everyone, I just have a quick question.
I doubt I currently have the time and money to get coaching; however, I do plan to some time. Does anyone know a good coach, who is preferably English-speaking? I do speak rudimentary Tagalog, but am much, much more comfortable with English.
I live in Malabon area, but I suppose a little bit of travel would be alright.
I am a club player who has never had any coaching, but am not quite an absolute beginner. I am sure a coach would help me a lot.
I doubt I would have the resources to have coaching often and over a long amount of time, so perhaps just a few sessions would be great.

R.I.P. Pirate Radio
Welcoming us to "the jungle," Axl's scream shredded Los Angeles' Martika-dominated airwaves in 1989. Pirate Radio 100.3 FM gave us our Iron Maiden, our Ratt and our Dokken in healthy doses of head-banging heroism. We eventually got our Jane's Addiction and Nirvana, while meeting Bubba the Love Sponge and Pauly Shore over promos more asinine and hilarious than anything to hit the San Andreas airwaves. We briefly dreamt of a future free of Timberlakes. Then, in 1992, we awoke to a Viacom-owned present, and Pirate got lost on the Seven Seas.

While beer can be simple refreshment, it can also be remarkably complex, as with vintage ales such as the Brooklyn Brewery's 2005 Monster Ale and George Gale & Co. 1999 Prize Old Ale from England. The breadth of styles—from light and yeasty wheat beers to dark and chocolaty stouts—offers almost endless possibilities for food matching. In case you don't have an ambitious beer sommelier in your neighborhood, Wine Spectator's contributing editor Sam Gugino supplied recipes and matching brews from across the spectrum to get you started.
