Forecasts & Trends is much more than just investment blog posts.

Gary intends to help you do just that.
January saw US stocks record their first losing month since last August. After reaching new record highs at the end of December, the Dow Jones shed almost 1,000 points in the last half of the month and the decline continues. Analysts attributed the sell-off in large part due to troubling news from several emerging nations, in particular to the so-called "Fragile Five"– Turkey, India, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa.
These countries and others –including Argentina, Ukraine, Thailand and even China–have seen their currencies come under pressure due to capital flight, and most have had to raise interest rates significantly and drain reserves to support their monetary systems.
No doubt, this mini-storm is partly a reaction to the Fed's decision to begin "tapering" its monthly purchases of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities starting in January. At its latest policy meeting last week, the Fed moved to reduce its QE purchases by another $10 billion in February. Obviously, the Fed is serious about ending QE and this, too, weighed heavily on stocks last month and again yesterday. Is this the much-awaited "correction" or something worse?
Next, we take a look at some of the latest economic reports. We got our first look at 4Q GDP last Thursday, with an advance estimate of +3.2%, about as expected. What was not expected was a huge drop in the manufacturing sector in January based on yesterday's weak ISM Index report.
Finally, if you watched the 2012 film documentary "2016: Obama's America," you may be interested to know that Obama's Justice Department recently indicted the film's producer, Dinesh D'Souza, on two alleged felony charges related to campaign-finance irregularities. Such violations, if true, are rarely prosecuted, but in this case, they want to ruin his life. You can read the story at the end of today's letter.
On Friday, January 17 President Obama delivered a speech which was heralded in advance as a sweeping change for the nation's spy agency, the National Security Agency, which has been collecting enormous amounts of phone and other data on the general public for the last several years. The changes Mr. Obama announced in his speech were anything but sweeping. The NSA will continue its massive phone data collection operation, largely unabated.
Prior to the president's Jan. 17 speech, he met with a special review panel that he appointed last year to investigate the NSA's phone data operations. The special review panel recommended 46 actions to limit the NSA's power to collect phone data, and that any action to gather public data must be approved by a court on a case-by-case basis in advance.
The president also met prior to his speech with an independent federal privacy watchdog agency – the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board – which has recently concluded that the National Security Agency's program to collect bulk phone call records has provided only "minimal" benefits in counterterrorism efforts, that it is illegal and should be shut down.
Obviously, President Obama did not agree. In his speech he made it clear that the NSA will continue to collect phone data on virtually all Americans, albeit with additional oversight from the courts. Likewise, Mr. Obama took only a few of the 46 recommendations from his review panel. So the spying on all Americans' phone and other records will continue.
Last month's unemployment rate plunged from 7% in November all the way to 6.7% in December, which was lower than any of the pre-report estimates. That should be a great thing, right? Wrong! The unemployment rate fell because more Americans gave up looking for work and dropped out of the labor force entirely.
Even worse, new jobs created in December were a fraction of what they were in recent months at only 74,000 versus over 200,000+ in the last several months. Even the Obama administration could not avoid admitting that the latest unemployment report was grim when you look into the internals. That's pretty bad!
The plunge in new jobs to only 74,000 in December is worrisome enough, but if you dig deeper into the data, you find something even more disturbing. Only 71.8% of working-age men have a job or are looking for work. That's a huge decline from 80% in 1970! The question is, why are so many men disappearing from the workforce? That's what we'll talk about today.
Editor's Note: There is no need to read today's E-Letter unless you are interested in an investment opportunity that delivered the following:
A 2013 calendar-year gain of over 43%, net of all fees and expenses;
An annualized return since inception that beat most equity benchmarks;
Would have turned a $100,000 investment at its inception in September 1996
into a nest egg of over $577,000 by the end of 2013;
The flexibility to move to cash should we encounter a bear market or major downward correction; and
The minimum investment is only $50,000.
If you can say all of that about your portfolio, then you probably don't need the opportunity I'll be discussing today. Otherwise, please read on. As always, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Last October, I wrote about how Niemann Capital Management's "Risk Managed Program" was outperforming the S&P 500 Index by a significant margin. This was no small feat, since the S&P had a year-to-date gain of almost 20% as of the end of September.
Now fast forward to the end of 2013 when Risk Managed finished the year with a whopping 43.79% gain, net of fees – more than 11 percentage points higher than the S&P 500's excellent gain of 32.39% (including dividends). This difference in performance is known as "alpha," which is often defined as the added value that a portfolio manager brings over and above a given benchmark, in this case the S&P 500 Index.
Today I want to revisit Niemann's Risk Managed Program and discuss how it managed to significantly outperform the S&P 500 in 2013 and for the last 17 years on an annualized basis. You don't find many professional money managers who can say that!
If you have not looked at Niemann, I highly encourage you to consider their Risk Managed Program for part of your portfolio. If you read today's E-Letter, you'll understand why.
Today we'll look at several economic reports, including a big jump in consumer confidence last month. That seems a little odd given that over 63% of Americans still believe the country is headed in the wrong direction as I reported last week.
From there, we will consider some economic and market predictions for the New Year. Many forecasters believe the stock market will experience a downward correction sometime this year, which happens often in mid-term election years. We'll look at a chart showing all of the mid-term year corrections going back to 1930. You may be surprised.
Finally, despite President Obama's plunging approval ratings, he still plans to proceed with an aggressive liberal agenda in 2014. Bill Clinton wisely moved to the center when his liberal agenda became unpopular. Not this president!
It's New Year's Eve, so I thought it might be interesting to look at some recent polls to get a sense of how Americans feel about how things went in 2013 and what they considered to be the most important news stories of the year.
We'll start with the most recent Associated Press-Times Square polls which asked a wide range of questions about Americans' views of how 2013 turned out, and a host of other interesting questions and findings.
We'll also look at some polling averages from RealClearPolitics, including the "Right Track, Wrong Track" poll on the direction the country is headed. In addition, we'll look at President Obama's latest approval/disapproval ratings, as well as those for Congress (think ugly).
Next, we'll browse through a bunch of new polls from Rasmussen which cover a wide range of consumer concerns that I think you'll find interesting.
Finally, we'll look at some recent polls that suggest how most Americans feel about the economy in 2014. Surprisingly, almost half of those polled think 2014 will be better than 2013. That's easy to say when responding to a poll, but as I have discussed in recent weeks, we must see a rebound in consumer confidence if this economy is to get back on the right track.
In today's abbreviated holiday E-Letter, we'll look at last Friday's surprising report on 3Q GDP. In its third estimate of 3Q GDP, the Commerce Department reported that the economy surged by more than anyone expected. Given the surprisingly strong numbers, more than a few are questioning the report's accuracy and wondering if it will be revised lower in January.
One reason for all the questions revolving around Friday's strong GDP report is the fact that consumer confidence plunged in October and November and has yet to recover. Since consumer spending accounts for 70% of GDP, the recent drop in consumer confidence has to rebound if the economy is to accelerate.
Even if last Friday's super-strong GDP report proves to be accurate, today's economy certainly doesn't feel like one that is growing at an annual rate of over 4%. While some areas of the economy are improving, only 24% of Americans believe economic conditions are getting better, while nearly 40% say the nation's economy is actually getting worse. Today we'll talk about why consumer confidence has tanked even as the economy is seemingly improving.
On a different front, the Fed moved last Wednesday to reduce its $85 billion in monthly bond and mortgage purchases to $75 billion starting in January. I discussed the details of the Fed's latest policy announcement in my blog on Thursday. The burning question now is: How quickly will the Fed phase-out its QE purchases altogether? I'll tell you what the latest thinking is in today's holiday letter.
My readers know that the global financial world is waiting with bated breath for tomorrow's Fed decision on whether to start to "taper" QE purchases now or wait until next year. The Fed's Open Market Committee (FOMC) is holding its last policy meeting of the year today and tomorrow, and Chairman Bernanke will hold a press conference afterward.
The latest surveys indicate that most Fed watchers believe the FOMC will wait until next year to taper, but that remains to be seen. What is actually more interesting is some language that was buried in the minutes from the October 29-30 FOMC meeting. The minutes were released on November 20.
Within those minutes, we find that the FOMC is considering lowering or removing the interest paid to commercial banks on money they choose to leave on deposit with the Fed. The minutes reveal that at the late October policy meeting, the Committee members discussed the possibility that the FOMC might reduce or eliminate the 25 basis-points of interest the Fed pays to big banks that leave excess reserve deposits at the Fed. This is potentially very big!
Why would the Fed do this? The minutes suggest that the FOMC believes that reducing or eliminating the interest paid to commercial banks would spur those banks to draw down those deposits and use that money to make more loans, thus stimulating the economy – and pave the way for the Fed to start its QE taper. This is extremely interesting. I'll lay it out for you today.
But before we get into that discussion, I'd like to analyze the latest two-year federal budget that was passed by the House last week, and may pass the Senate as early as tonight. The bipartisan budget deal was hailed as a major victory by lawmakers and the White House. But as I will explain below, the latest budget deal represents a sell-out by both political parties.
We had some terrific economic news late last week. The 3Q GDP report and the November unemployment report were so strong that some are wondering if the data are credible, and are likely to be revised lower next month. The government reported that 3Q Gross Domestic Product jumped from 2.8% as reported last month to a whopping 3.6% in its second estimate last Thursday, well above the consensus estimate of 3.1%.
Then on Friday, we got another stunner. The US unemployment rate plunged from 7.3% in October to 7.0% last month. In addition, the report cited 203,000 net new jobs created in November. Both jobs numbers were significantly better than the pre-report consensus.
Given that these two key economic reports were so much better than expected, it's only natural to expect that the discussion would turn to the Fed and the possible implications for "tapering" its monthly QE bond and mortgage purchases. At its October policy meeting, the Fed said it was awaiting better economic news. Well now they've got it!
So, the question now is, will the Fed move to taper at its next policy meeting on December 17-18? I was never a fan of QE in the first place, so in my view there is no question that the Fed should start to taper as soon as possible. That will be the thrust of our discussion today. But let's start with some details on the latest surprising (but questionable) economic reports.
I'll round-out today's letter with an invitation to attend our next online WEBINAR with one of my favorite money managers of all-time, Wellesley Investment Advisors. This company manages over $1.5 billion in assets and invests in "convertible bonds," which most investors know very little about – but should. The webinar will be on December 12 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time (11:00 AM Pacific).
Between 1999 and 2012, the average US household lost over 9% in income. According to the Census Bureau, the median household income was $51,017 in 2012, compared to $55,080 at the peak in 1999. In short, most Americans are working harder but earning less. Today, we'll look at the data and discuss why this trend continues even though the economy is in a slow recovery.
In a similar pattern, growth in US worker productivity is also in decline. Productivity grew only 1.5% in 2012 versus 3.3% in 2010. So far this year, productivity is up only 1.9%. While that's a modest improvement over last year, it's still quite low. We'll take a closer look at this problem as we go along today.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported that there are over 27 million Americans who are "under-employed." These Americans include those who are officially considered unemployed, plus involuntary part-time workers and "marginally-attached" workers – those who have not looked for work within the last four weeks. That is a new record high. And you'll also be saddened to learn that almost half of college graduates work in jobs that do not require a college degree.
But before we delve into the topics above, I want to alert you to two key economic reports that will be out this week. The second revision of 3Q GDP will be out on Thursday morning, and the November unemployment rate will be announced on Friday. I'll tell you what to look for below.
The United States and five other world powers announced an agreement Sunday morning that would temporarily freeze Iran's nuclear program and supposedly lay the foundation for a more sweeping agreement later on. Not surprisingly, an intense debate followed the announcement with one side arguing it was a victory for the US and its allies, and the other claiming it was a major sell-out and a big win for Iran. So which is it?
As you would expect, the mainstream media portrayed the agreement as a huge win for the US and its allies. Yet some in a better position to judge the deal concluded that it was a big win for Iran. We'll hear from both sides today, and you can decide for yourself.
As I pointed out in last week's E-Letter, a major agreement between Iran and the P5+1 nations (US, Great Britain, France, Russia, China + Germany) to halt (or delay, as it turns out) Iran's nuclear weapons program was very close, so it was no surprise that a deal was agreed upon in Geneva last weekend. However, the more I read the details of the agreement, the more I am disappointed in the outcome.
It now appears that the P5+1 were more interested in a headline-making deal than they were in permanently halting Iran's nuclear weapons program. As we'll see below, Iran does not have to dismantle any of its 10,000+ working centrifuges, and the new agreement only slows down Iran's ability to produce a nuclear bomb by a few months, at best.
Iran's new president and even the Supreme Leader hailed the agreement as a huge win for Iran. President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry came out somewhat on the defensive, claiming that the deal was a big victory for the US and its allies. Today, we'll look at the agreement and try to analyze the pluses and minuses for both sides.
Obama administration representatives are quietly negotiating with Iran in an effort to stop its nuclear program. Under the proposed agreement, the US would relax or eliminate some of the tough sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy. This is happening at the same time Congress is threatening to impose even tougher new sanctions on Iran.
One question about this new negotiation is whether or not it's a good deal for America and our allies in Europe. Another is, how will we be able to enforce its terms if Iran decides to cheat? And finally, why would Iran agree to halt its nuclear program at this time? The answers may surprise you. In any event, you need to know what is happening with Iran and why.
At the end of today's letter, there is a reminder for any of you who may not have ordered our new Handing Down Your Legacy, a free e-booklet in which to store all of your important investment/financial information in one place. Handing Down Your Legacy will help you manage your affairs now and will benefit your family too should you become temporarily or permanently disabled, as well as help them when it is time to settle your estate.
Finally, what if there was a way to participate in the stock market's rally without the worry of getting creamed when the Fed eventually takes its foot off of the monetary pedal? Be on the lookout tomorrow for an e-mail from me in which I will tell you about a specialized asset with the potential to do just that.
President Obama called for a whopping 39% increase in the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 per hour last Thursday. There is already a bill working its way through in the Senate to do the same thing. If this legislation passes, the minimum wage will be increased 95 cents each year for the next three years starting this year, to bring it to $10.10 by 2015.
Many argue that this will be a huge job killer and could thrust the economy back into a recession. However, some of the critics I've read don't consider that the 39% increase in the minimum wage will be phased in over three years. Supporters of the wage hike argue that the seemingly huge increase merely restores the purchasing power for the low-paid workers in America. We'll look into both arguments today.
Before we get to that controversial topic, let's take a look at last Friday's surprising unemployment report, last Thursday's better than expected GDP report and the continued slide in consumer confidence.
My guess is that just about everyone reading my E-Letters would agree that the Fed's massive "quantitative easing"(QE) program has had a bullish effect on the stock markets over the last few years. Several new reports conclude that the Fed's unprecedented QE bond buying program is responsible for ALL of the stock market advance since the bottom in early 2009.
No doubt, the stock markets have shown a strong tendency to rally during weeks when the Fed is making its huge QE bond and mortgage purchases. But is this the only thing driving the stock markets to record highs? That's what we'll look into today.
On a related note, Senator Rand Paul has recently threatened to block the nomination of Janet Yellen as the next Fed chairperson – unless he can get a Senate vote on his new bill to "audit" the Fed. Of course, the Fed claims that it is already audited. So what gives? This is an interesting story that we will want to follow as it plays out; I'll break it down for you today.
Consumer confidence has plunged over the last month, due in large part to the government shutdown and fear that the US might default on its debt – because of the ineptitude of our leaders in Washington. Normally, when consumer confidence plunges, we would expect a significant slowdown in consumer spending, which accounts for 70% of GDP.
Yet according to the latest Gallup poll, consumers plan to spend even more this coming holiday season than in the past two years. This would seem to be a major contradiction. However, what this tells me that most Americans have figured out that there was never really a threat that the government would default on its debt, as I opined recently. That's the good news.
The bad news is that the delayed September unemployment report was yet another disappointment, even though the headline unemployment rate inched down to 7.2%. New jobs created in September were well below expectations. More importantly, the Census Bureau reported last week that there are now more Americans on welfare than those who have full-time jobs. That is very disturbing.
Finally, I presume you noticed that our national debt skyrocketed by a record $328 billion in one day following the lifting of the debt ceiling earlier this month. The Treasury had to replenish all those "extraordinary measures" it used to fund the government since we hit the previous debt ceiling back in May. Our national debt is on-track to nearly double under Obama.

Roger Federer clinched his first title of the season before the start of his Wimbledon defence when he battled back from a set down to beat Russia's Mikhail Youzhny 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4 and win the Halle Open on Sunday.The world number three, who has now won the Wimbledon warm-up event on grass six times, needed to dig deep for his 77th career title and extend his head-to-head with Youzhny to an impressive 15-0."I have won a lot in my career but not recently," said Federer, whose last tournament win was in August 2012 in Cincinnati.

"I was satisfied with my game in the past 10 months. Maybe people thought I was playing badly. That was not the case. I was playing well but when it mattered the others were just better. Today it worked well," he said in a courtside interview.The 31-year-old won three break points in the first game but Youzhny's powerful serve got the world number 29 out of early trouble. The Russian, who defeated three seeded players en route to the final, held serve and matched Federer's skill on grass with hammering groundstrokes. Federer, who has now beaten Youzhny five times at Halle since 2002, saved a set point at 5-6 but conceded another in the tiebreak for the Russian to take the lead with a well-placed volley.Federer improved his first serve and refused to buckle, finally getting his first break when Youzhny double-faulted for 5-3 before he served out the second set.The Swiss patiently waited for his next break opportunity and got it after a sizzling exchange of groundstrokes, Federer going 4-3 up and holding serve to clinch his maiden 2013 title after two hours and two minutes. "He just played better," said Youzhny, whose battling spirit won him a lot of crowd support.
"In fact he has been playing better all my life."Wimbledon starts a week on Monday.

With 10.2 the battery life is much better, so was with 9.1 when I first installed it. I'm very new to this, this is my first rom, my first root.
First couple of days of installing the 9.1 AR HD my phone would be 100% through the whole night, and I'm talking 8+ hours of no use with 100%, not plugged in. Couple of weeks of use, and every night I would start losing 10%. I install the 10.2 AR HD update and again, phone lives through the night without even losing a single percent, then slowly starts losing more and more every new day when asleep.
A new install usually last me about a week and a half of battery life, then slowly starts draining faster where the battery is only good for a couple of days. What is causing such a major decrease in battery? Should I try clearing anything in the restore UI like catch and delvik, not sure what the second one was called?
I use the phone mostly for music, a phone call here and there, texting. And like I said, the very first install or update would get me about a week and a half, then starts degrading.
Thank you for your help.

The Rolling Stones messing about on a wall at Embankment, London, circa 1963.
STU [Ian Stewart]: "Brian, being Welsh, had always got a very obnoxious streak in him, and he used to be very tactless, and say things like, 'As I'm the leader of the group, I'm gonna have an extra £5 a week.' We used to stay in cheap hotels 'cause we didn't have any money, but they never stayed in real shit, once they'd got a little bit of money. So we'd stay in a medium-class hotel, but Brian would say, 'In a few months' time, when we're earning more for a gig, I'm gonna stay in the Hilton because I'm the leader, and everybody else will be staying with you somewhere.' So eventually they got sick to fuckin' death with him. He would change with the wind as well. Brian was very pretty, but a very silly boy really. Eventually it became obvious that Mick was the leader. In those days Brian was simply a very, very good guitar player and he was very mercenary too, very keen on money. So when Andrew [Loog Oldham] comes along and says, 'It's time you started playing numbers like
KEITH RICHARDS: "At this time the Beatles' first record comes out and we're really brought down. It's the beginning of Beatlemania. Suddenly everybody's lookin' round for groups, and we see more and more groups being signed. Alexis Korner gets a record contract, splits from the Marquee Club, and who gets his spot? The Rolling Stones. For just about enough bread to keep alive. We really need a bass player now. The drummer we've got says, 'I know a bass player who's got his own amplifier, huge speaker, plus a spare Vox 130 amp', which at the time was the biggest amp available, the best. So onto the scene comes Williams Perks, a bricklayer's son from Penge, in southeast London and we can't believe him. He's a real London Ernie, Brylcreemed hair and 11-inch cuffs on his pants and huge blue suede shoes with rubber soles. Bill [Perks, who later changed his surname to Wyman] met the Stones at a pub called the Weatherby Arms, on Kings Road, Chelsea. "Bill came down there," Stu said, "and they were in one of their funny moods, and they didn't even bother to talk to him … So Bill wasn't one bit impressed." Bill and his brothers and sisters (two of each) had a sound musical education. By the time he was 14 he could play clarinet, piano and organ. Mr Perks senior, who played accordion "for fun" at neighbourhood pubs, told his children if they learned to play an instrument they would "never be short of a pound". Bill had used part of the money [he had earned as part of a group, the Cliftons, which played at weddings and youth club dances] to buy the equipment that the Stones admired. "They didn't like me, they liked my amplifier," he said.

KEITH RICHARDS: "In general terms Mick wasn't a good singer then, just as he isn't a good singer now, in general terms. But it was the personal thing with Mick, he had a feel of belting a song even if he wasn't. Which is what the blues is about, more than technique; he's always had that. I've got a very early photo of him with a zip-up cardigan and collar and tie and baggy trousers. Mick always had that and he had this absolute certainty that he was right. Mick was very edgy, because he was having a lot of arguments with his family. I remember his mother ringing me up one night and saying, 'We've always felt that Mick was the least talented member of the family, do you really think he has any career in music?' I told her I didn't think he could possibly fail. She didn't believe me; she didn't see how I could make a statement of that sort. I don't suppose she can to this day. Don't suppose she'll ever understand why he is what he is. You know that about someone or you don't know it."
At the Southend Odeon [during a 1963 national tour where the still little-known Stones were a support act for American rhythm and blues artist Bo Diddley and the Everly Brothers and Little Richard] Keith left a bag of fried chicken in the dressing room after the first show and returned from where he'd been, "with a well-known groupie" he said, to find the bag of chicken now only a bag of bones. "Who et me chicken?" Keith asked, as well he might. "Brian et it," said Bill, telling the truth. "And just at that moment," Keith said, "the stage manager sticks his head in the door and yells, 'You're on!' So we're picking up guitars and heading for the stage, and as we're walking downstairs Brian passes me and I say, 'You c***, you et me chicken!' and bopped him in the eye. We went onstage, and as we're playing Brian's eye starts to swell and change colour. In the next few days it turned every colour of the rainbow, red, purple, blue, green, yellow." Before the show the next day, at the Guildford Odeon, Brian, only slightly daunted, joined the other Stones, Bo Diddley and the Everly Brothers' backing group for a bit of playing backstage. "I'll never forget Bo's face when Brian played some of those Elmore James things," Stu said. "If the Stones were astonished to be playing with Bo Diddley, how must Bo Diddley have felt, seeing a blond English cherub with a bruised and swollen eye, playing guitar just like Elmore James, who had learned from Robert Johnson, who had learned at the crossroads from the Devil himself."
SHIRLEY ARNOLD, organiser of the band's first fan club in 1963: "No-one was really interested and I just fell in love with them. The music was so exciting. Then bang! Everyone knew who they were … The next time we went [to see them], we begged the girl on the door to sell us tickets the day before. The queue next day was fantastic … People were standing and sitting on people's shoulders. Every inch was packed. Sweat was pouring from the walls and the amps kept going wrong but the music was fantastic. I fainted because it was so hot. There was never anything I wouldn't do for them and at the time there weren't many girls who were freakin' out, so they were quite surprised. A few months later, Arnold saw them again on the giant stage at the New Victoria in London. "Then they did

STU [Ian Stewart, a founding member of the Rolling Stones but dismissed from the line-up in 1963. He became the band's road manager]: "[Alexis] Korner had a very successful club up in London, the Marquee Club on Thursday nights, and he was packin' the place. Thursday night was the BBC live jazz broadcast. They said to Alexis, 'Do you want to do this?' Which meant he had to go to the BBC studio. So he said to us, 'Do you want to fill in for me one night?' We said yeah; had to think of a name, so in desperation it became The Rolling Stones. The Marquee was our first job. At the start, nobody in England played this kind of music. And having seen the Stones once at the Marquee, the people who were running the scene in those days were 100 per cent against us and it was one bloody fight to get anywhere. We tried to open in Ealing on a Tuesday night and for two weeks not one person would come to Ealing to see the Rolling Stones." "Winter of '62 was tough," said Keith. "It's down to cellotaping your pants up; Scotch tape across the rips."

KEITH RICHARDS: "When you're seven you go to junior school. That's where I met Mick, Wentworth County Primary School. He happened to live near by me. I used to see him around… on our tricycles. I left technical school when I was 15. I did three years of art school. I was just starting the last year when Mick and I happened to meet up on the train at Dartford Station. Between the ages of 11 and 17 you go through a lot of changes. So I didn't know what he was like. It was like seeing an old friend, but it was like meeting a new person. He'd left grammar school and he was going to the London School of Economics, very heavily into a university student number. He had some records with him and I said, 'Wotcha got?' Turned out to be Chuck Berry,
On Sunday, April 28, 1963, I met the Rolling Stones and said "hello" to the rest of my life. At only 19 years old I was one of the very few self-employed music publicists at work in the soon to be very swinging city of London. I had a bit of time on my hands since the Beatles, my most successful clients, were on a sun and surf holiday in Spain. Since business required him to be in Liverpool much of the time, manager Brian Epstein had hired me to keep an eye on his wards as I pitched them to the press. It was just as well they were out of town that Sunday; it was the day I tried to make amends to my long-suffering mother for being a teenager in love with music, fashion and fun.
She had raised me by herself and was not certain she was pleased with the results. I had been asked to leave by a succession of schools she had taken great pains to place me in, and now that I was out, I had a girlfriend of whom she did not entirely approve. My choice of a career in show business completely baffled and dismayed her. But on Sundays, we put our differences aside and after lunch we readied my wardrobe for the week of hustling ahead. Celia was rather better at ironing the sleeves and cuffs of my shirts than I, and I appreciated that.
Even more important to our weekly ritual was settling down with a cuppa in front of the telly at 8pm to watch Sunday Night at the London Palladium. For many of the generation who had sacrificed so much during World War II, family time in front of the cathode tube shrine in the living room had replaced morning worship at church. The pop music boom that would soon become England's most profitable export held little interest for Celia. If I was bound and determined to fritter my life away, she would have preferred I work for the kind of stars we enjoyed on the Palladium stage. Shirley Bassey, Frankie Vaughan, Judy Garland, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis jnr and Rudolf Nureyev – now those were entertainers!
But as the afternoon of Sunday, April 28, 1963, gave way to twilight, I nervously told my mother I would not be joining her that evening. I had a business obligation I could not avoid, although I could not say it was one to which I was particularly looking forward. Earlier in the week I had stopped by the De Hems pub on Shaftesbury Avenue to put the arm on Peter Jones of the Record Mirror yet again for some column inches I'd promised one of my clients. To this day, I don't know whether Peter suggested I schlep down to Richmond to some godforsaken hotel bar to do me a favour, get rid of me or teach me a lesson. But to reject his invitation to check out the Rollin' Stones would not have been diplomatic and perhaps as he said, "there might be something there for me".
Norman Jopling, the Record Mirror's resident hipster, was all over the Stones and just recently the Beatles had made the trek south and deemed the sextet to be the next big thing.
The stage was set from the moment I emerged from Richmond station and started on the towpath to the hotel. Two very pretty young people stood in my path, the boy's full mouth set in a pout and the girl close to tears as they squabbled. I was slightly embarrassed by the intimacy and intensity of the scene, and murmured "excuse me" as I passed. I resisted the temptation to look back at them; they were very attractive. "Well, at least," I thought to myself, "these Rollin' Stones get an interesting crowd."
The rhythm and blues they played was not the type of pop I usually went for, but its effect on the audience was electric. Rock'n'roll in the UK was still a pretty tame affair, where boys and girls danced as couples to steps that allowed for little improvisation, much like the music itself. The Station Hotel audience was more like a tribe or a gang than a collection of couples and the dancing was communal, free-form, loose, sexual and frenetic. And although three of the musicians were seated on stools, like beatniks from the Delta, the music they made compelled us to submit to its power.
My charisma detector was a pretty finely tuned instrument, having been calibrated by the first generation greats such as Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Little Richard. What I saw now, crude and esoteric as it was at that early stage, was clearly a step even beyond the Beatles themselves. The six Rollin' Stones were two inseparable units of three.
Towards the back was the rhythm section. Bill Wyman, holding his bass guitar in that strange upright fashion, curled his lips around a fag and only his roving eyes and nimble fingers moved as he played. Ian Stewart knocked out boogie-woogie on a crappy piano and sounded much sexier than he looked. I was already editing his lantern jaw out of the publicity photos I envisioned. The drummer, Charlie Watts, was as stylish as the cover of a Blue Note jazz album, zen cool and immaculate. He had joined the Stones only recently and had pulled their sound together, just as his counterpart in the Beatles, Ringo Starr, had helped transform the Silver Beetles into the Fab Four.
But it was the three boys up front who convinced me that from that day forward the Rollin' Stones and Andrew Loog Oldham would conquer the world together. There was a blond guitarist, Brian Jones, whose comely face lit up at the sight of all those young girls who wanted him. There was a dark-haired guitarist, Keith Richards, who seemed even more attractive for not paying much attention to the audience at all.
And up front and centre was the lad I had seen on the towpath. Mick Jagger was not conventionally handsome, and when he occasionally got off his stool and ventured a little dance step, he was charmingly awkward. But his body had the grace and energy of a cat and his voice, if you closed your eyes, could have been coming to you direct from deep in the American south. There simply was nothing else like them, there never had been and for all their influence, there never will be again.
After the set, I made my way backstage and summoned up the same self-confidence that had only a few months before impressed John Lennon and Paul McCartney. I told the Rollin' Stones how certain I was that I should manage them and they agreed. At 19 I was unable to legally sign a contract, but before you could say "come on" I had renamed them "the Rolling Stones", dropped the "s" from Keith's last name (he later put it back), and told Ian he was welcome to drive the van and play piano but that in future there would be but five Stones. Had I met them two weeks later, I very much doubt I'd be writing this today. On April 28, 1963, everything changed.

New Delhi: Planning to travel by train during the peak summer holiday season? There is good news for you. To enable passengers plan their journey well in advance, the Railways on Tuesday announced that the advance reservation period would be extended from 60 days to 90 days on an experimental basis.
The Railways also inked an agreement with the State-run Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) to open e-ticketing facilities at petrol pumps across various cities, including Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Delhi.
A spokesman of the Railways said the new advance reservation period (excluding the date of journey) will be part of a pilot project to enhance passenger facilities. The new system comes into effect from March 1.
In the first phase of opening e-ticketing kiosks at petrol pumps, Delhi would have the facility in 11 petrol pumps, while it would be installed in six pumps each in Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Five petrol pumps in Secunderabad would be equipped with e-ticketing kiosks, three in Bangalore and one in Pune.

A tense situation was diffused in front of the Sweetwater Post Office after an Abilene Police Department bomb squad robot destroyed a suspicious package this afternoon.
Officials in Sweetwater were reportedly on heightened awareness following the presence of several protesters outside the Nolan County Courthouse yesterday and its close proximity to the post office.
The package reportedly contained a cellphone.
There were no injuries.
Original Story:
Jesus Cecilio Villa pled guilty to indecency with a child by contact, a second degree felony, during 32nd Judicial District Court proceedings on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012.
Along with their recent renovation, First Financial Bank in Sweetwater updated the furniture in their offices. Their older furniture was donated to several local churches. Shown loading furniture for their church, Highland Heights United Methodist Church, are Melvin Walker, Rusty Allen and Doug Taylor.
The rescheduled City Commission meeting took place on Tuesday morning, Feb. 21, 2012 at City Hall.
The resolution recognizing the contributions of the Ludlum family to the economic life of Sweetwater along with the 50th anniversary of Ludlum Measurements was approved, following the reading of the resolution last Tuesday, Feb. 14 by Commissioner Jerod Peek.
Ken Becker, Executive Director for SEED, recently traveled to Washington DC in conjunction with the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and their "Wind Power on Capitol Hill 2012". This is an effort to educate the legislators on the importance of passing the Production Tax Credit (PTC) extension. "We were looking for a minimum one year extension that would be tied to the Payroll Tax Bill," said Becker. "The current PTC will expire on Dec. 31, 2012. The importance of the PTC extension is vital in keeping the emerging renewable energy markets expanding, investing, and hiring employees."

Several family members and friends of an alleged sexual assault victim held signs and protested at the Nolan County Courthouse on Tuesday morning, Feb. 21, 2012.
One sign read, "My name is Fonda Balthrop. My daughter was sexually abused. There was no justice. Still to this day I sit and watch her suffer. All I wanted was Justice! It hurts me to see the pain in her eyes when she asked, 'Mommy why don't the POLICE HELP ME?'"

Says patients on antiepileptics need to be monitored for indications of mood changes
TUESDAY, Dec. 16 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday that it was adding a label warning on heightened suicide risk for users of antiepileptic drugs.
The move, which follows the advice last summer of an FDA advisory panel, stops short of slapping the strongest "black box" warning on this class of drugs, which includes widely used medications such as clonazepam (Klonopin), phenytoin (Dilantin) and topiramate (Topamax).
"Patients being treated with antiepileptic drugs for any indication should be monitored for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidal thoughts or behavior, or any unusual changes in mood or behavior," Dr. Russell Katz, director of the division of neurology products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in an agency news release.
But, he added, "patients who are currently taking an antiepileptic medicine should not make any treatment changes without talking to their health care professional."
The warning includes a heightened risk to users of "suicidal thoughts and behaviors (suicidality)," the agency announcement said.
The FDA is also requiring that manufacturers draw up Medication Guides handouts that outline the risks and can be given to patients and their families when the medications in question are prescribed.
Tuesday's move follows recommendations in July from a 20-member advisory panel that voted unanimously, with one abstention, to back the scientific findings on 11 antiepileptic drugs studied by the agency.
In late January of 2008, the FDA announced it was considering a black box warning after an agency review of 199 studies comparing the drugs, which are used by millions, to placebos. That review found that patients taking the drugs had about twice the risk of suicidal behavior compared with pati

How's your fence? (Electric vs. non-electric for deer)
Hi all, I need to fence a 1-acre field for my mixed vegetables. What are your experiences with your fences, especially related to white-tailed deer? I am debating between non-electric (8' black plastic mesh) and electric, but think I'd prefer electric (it seems as though it is more effective). How tall is your electric fence? Is it 3D (two fences side by side)? Does it exclude raccoons, rabbits, and/or woodchucks? Other points of consideration with electric are: posts (how's fiberglass for strength and longevity?), solar vs. standard power, etc.
I would like to hear about what has and has not worked for you.
By the way, the deer presence here in RI is heavy.
Heavy, maybe, but I doubt you could beat the deer load in Fairfield Co. CT!
I have an 8' heavy duty mesh fence. Not the thin wimpy stuff. I've had trees fall on it, the trees cut and removed, and the fence pretty much springs back into place. Maybe a bit of tightening of the top lead, but that's it.
Now, some small creature has gotten it, by cutting away small sections along the bottom, but it's easy enough to repair with the hog ringer.
I should note that the fence is attached to trees wherever possible (makes it less visible) and is staked all along the bottom. Before the bottom was staked, the deer did wiggle under. So, technically the fence is about 7.5' tall, since there's the 6" or so staking allowance at the bottom. I was a bit concerned they'd be able to jump it with a heavy snow crust and a lot of snow, but they did not. I think, after awhile, they just gave up on the area.

Former Gov. Reubin Askew's body lies in state at historic Old Capitol
They came by the hundreds to pay final tribute to Reubin Askew, one of the most admired leaders in Florida history, as his body lay in state Tuesday at the historic Old Capitol.
They walked up the steep wooden steps and said goodbye to Florida's 37th governor, his casket covered with an American flag and a single white rose, his official portrait displayed a few feet away.
Askew died Thursday at age 85.
"He just had an aura of kindness and sincerity about him," said Diane Scholz, who works at Florida State University, where for two decades Askew, a proud FSU alum, brought the same passion to teaching public policy courses as he did to politics.
"He changed the landscape for us. He stood tall, literally and figuratively," said Helen Levine, a vice chancellor at USF's St. Petersburg campus, who recalled how moved her parents were when Askew, an obscure state senator from Pensacola, won the governorship in 1970.
For the next eight years, he guided Florida through the turbulence of campus unrest, school desegregation and political scandals while working to make state government more open and demanding that elected officials earn the public's trust.
Under an overcast sky, members of a military honor guard, in crisp uniforms and white gloves, carried Askew's casket into the Old Capitol, trailed by Gov. Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott, Cabinet members, state Supreme Court justices and legislative leaders.
Small cards printed for the ceremony called it "the final tribute from a grateful state."
Askew's widow, Donna Lou, their children, Kevin and Angela, and several grandchildren formed a short receiving line on the Capitol's second floor.
Former Govs. Bob Graham, Wayne Mixson and Bob Martinez attended along with several dozen former state officials and friends of the Askew family.
Former four-term state attorney general Bob Butterworth said it was fitting that Askew was honored in the Old Capitol, now a history museum and an enduring link to a different era, when almost all legislators were white men, the Senate had spittoons and a rural clique of lawmakers known as the pork choppers wielded power far beyond their numbers.
"Walking in here, you have the feeling that he's still here," Butterworth said. "It's so symbolic, because he's sort of between the old and new Florida. He's the bridge."
George Sheldon, who got his political start as a young aide to Askew the state senator, began weeping as he saw so many former colleagues.
"It's good to see Florida giving the tribute that they're giving," Sheldon said.
"I miss him so much," said former U.S. Rep. Jim Bacchus, who was a young speech writer for Askew and will be one of three speakers at a memorial service Wednesday in Tallahassee.
It was a subdued occasion, but not sad, and old friends laughed as they swapped stories about "Reubin the Good."
He was remembered as the stubborn back room dealer who hated to lose a fight; the strait-laced dorm counselor at UF who railed against profanity; the teetotaler who wouldn't serve alcohol to Vice President Spiro Agnew in the Governor's Mansion.
Former FSU President Talbot "Sandy" D'Alemberte, who served in the Legislature when Askew was governor, recalled his friend as someone who didn't like to get up early but liked to stay up late, when he would plot political strategy.
"If you were at home and had a couple of drinks, and the phone rang, your dread was it was going to be Gov. Askew, giving you an assignment," D'Alemberte said.
Former Secretary of State Bruce Smathers recalled Askew's tough side and his willingness to play hardball to get his way.
"He was humble before God, but not before the rest of us," Smathers said. "He was tough when he needed to be. The guy was a very formidable opponent."
Diane McCarthy, who has worked for the state auditor general's office for 35 years, said she was grateful for the chance to pay respects and felt that as a state worker she had to say farewell.
"He was a great man," she said. "He led this state very well."

posted Feb 8 2011 1:42PM
This time of year I really start missing riding in Endymion. Me my Dad and brother rode in the parade for several years. It was such a wonderful experience to share with family but it was expensive and they say you don't miss something until it's gone and that's the case with Endymion. As we look forward to this year's parade march 5
Endymion will feature floats depicting artists such as Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson as well as floats carrying the actual musical performers Train and Pat Benatar who will perform at the Extravaganza which is at the Convention center this near because of renovations at the Dome..
Anderson Cooper
Kelly Ripa

Launched back in 1993 by Scott Taylor, New Sensations quickly rode waves of popularity all the way to the top. After innumerable accolades, awards, and acclaims heaped upon the studio and its feature DVDs, New Sensations launched itself as an online porn network that's home to over ten websites, 1,500 DVD titles, and 4,000 scenes, from Meet Aidra Fox to Cherie DeVille in A Hot Wife Blindfolded, that deliver such a powerful carnal punch, you'll never forget them.
Sometimes the best way to learn something or improve a skill or technique is to look at it from a drastically different angle. Take sex: viewing sex from a strictly male perspective won't teach you how to please a woman; for that, you must study Girlsway. A new four-site network bringing together American and European pornstars both brand new to porn and well established for an all-female hardcore sex show that delivers powerful HD videos of vaginal explorations, deep toy insertions, and steamy bubble baths you'll never want to end. Male or female, gay or straight, Girlsway has much to teach us about the art of pleasing a woman.
Puffy Network is not devoted to plump women, nor those with excessively curly hair. Actually, it couldn't have more different interests: pissing, vaginal squirting, "pussy classification" pictorials, intense female masturbation, "pussy pumping", and semen-coated faces, to name a few. Puffy Network's four sites - Wet and Puffy, Wet and Pissy, We Like to Suck, and Eurobabe Facials - keep things dirty while offering up the freshest Euro foxes in porn today.
JAV HD: Japan Adult Video, High Definition. If those five words don't arouse your appetite for erotically charged Asian porn, I don't know what will! JAV HD has been hosting a bevy of gloriously uncensored hardcore J-porn since its launch two years ago and is still going strong today. Now hosting an astonishing 17,000 scenes across its 14 kinky niche-interest websites, JAV HD has become the premiere J-porn network for English-speaking audiences. But there's still a couple of things standing in JAV HD's way as it attempts to reign supreme across the Asian-fancying pornoverse. Let me fill you in…
Nubile Films focuses on beautiful, sexy young women and shoots them with a degree of artistry rarely seen in hardcore porn productions. That's right, folks. Appearances can be deceiving and although Nubile Films often looks like a high-falutin' "erotic art" endeavor from Eastern Europe, it's actually a highly explicit take on erotica that weaves hardcore acts together with stunning photography and smoothly sensual lovemaking scenes. Ok, so it's not exactly date night done right, but Nubile Films is a very strong purveyor of erotic hardcore and a force to be reckoned with.
Many female admirers concentrate too heavily on youth, but what of those women whose youth was merely the training ground for the sexual awakening that is their thirties? What of those peaking sexually in their mid-forties? Aren't they also deserving of attention? At Anilos, that's exactly what's been arranged: a site devoted entirely to the lusty mature women of the world, unafraid of showing their sagging breasts and wrinkled skin 'cause they know, youth be damned, there's a MILF-lover born every minute. Are you one?
Hirsutism might be making something of a feminist-endorsed comeback these days, but ALS Scan aims to keep the burning desire for nubile babes with naked pubic areas with its exclusive collection of softcore and hardcore porn. With nary a pubic tuft or swath of short-n-curlies in sight, ALS Scan takes its members on a trip through a huge roster of the cleanest, most aerodynamic babes in porn, showing them posing, masturbating, and fucking both each other and the stuntcocks hired by ALS Scan to push this already hot content into overdrive. No, yours aren't the only lips drooling right now…
Guess what lies inside the members area of First Time Video Girls. Go on, guess! (Man, you're smart!) Filled with tantalizing young ladies posing nude on the Internet (allegedly) for the very first time, FTV Girls welcomes blondes, redheads, and brunettes of all shapes, sizes, nationalities, and sexualities to appear in its collection of softcore (and occasionally hardcore) delights. Will you remember you first time at the HD-equipped globe-trotting FTV Girls?
