Josi scores 2nd in OT as Predators beat Stars 5-4
"Emotionally that sometimes can be very good," Trotz said.
Dallas had scored at least three goals the previous nine straight games, and the Stars took a 2-1 lead as Fraser got his first career goal on a slap shot from the left circle at 1:20. Then Reilly Smith tipped the puck over goalie Pekka Rinne's left leg at 1:45 for a 2-1 lead.
Trotz immediately took his timeout, and the Predators responded when Josi tied it at 2 with his slap shot near the blue line at 3:05.
The Predators were trying to kill a holding penalty on Erat when the Stars drew a delayed penalty off a high-stick by Fisher, and Fiddler, coming on as the extra attacker, scored on a slap shot at 7:29.
With Fisher drawing a double minor, the Stars' man advantage continued, and Erikkson scored with the puck redirected past Rinne by Josi at 9:21.
"It's never over with these guys," Stars forward Stephane Robidas said.
The Predators trimmed the lead when they went 1:21 with of a 5-on-3 after Eric Nystrom went to the box for fighting with a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Then Fiddler got his own double minor for unsportsmanlike conduct and roughing. Nashville had only 2 seconds left when Hornqivst lifted a backhander over Nilstorp at 13:43 to pull the Predators within 4-3.
Dallas coach Glen Gulutzan wasn't happy with how his Stars reacted to being up 4-2.
"We needed to stay disciplined," Gulutzan said. "After the double minor for high sticking, they are going to look for something on you and you can't give up a 5-on-3. You can't take that penalty. We just didn't have a game feel. We let them in, and we got them excited. We needed to make sure we closed them out."
Notes: Weber is the sixth to play 500 games for the Predators. He joined David Legwand Martin Erat, Kimmo Timonen (now in Philadelphia) and Ryan Suter (Minnesota). ... Fisher's goal was the 200th of his career. ... Kostitsyn now has five points in his last six games (1 goal, 4 assists). ... With D Aaron Rome out with a foot injury, the Stars brought back 6-foot-7 rookie Jamie Oleksiak from the AHL's Texas Stars. ... Nashville now is 8-0-5 when scoring first.

US job growth topped 200,000 again in June, knocking the unemployment rate down to 5.3%—lowest since April 2008—but many headlines chose to dwell on a perceived negative: the falling labor force participation rate. Many argue this is a sign folks are still leaving the workforce in droves, indicating labor markets remain distressed after the 2007-2009 recession. This is all backward-looking as far as stocks are concerned—whatever happens in job markets stems from economic growth (or contraction) several months before. Growth drives hiring, not the other way around. Stocks, by contrast, move before the economy does. But we would like to clear up this whole bugaboo about folks leaving the labor force, because it is just not true, and knowing what's what might improve your perspective on the economy.
The labor force participation rate is the ratio of the civilian labor force to the total civilian noninstitutional population.[i] Here is how it has moved over the last 45 years:
Exhibit 1: Labor Force Participation Rate

So Greece officially missed its €1.5 billion IMF payment due Tuesday, and it is now "in arrears" with the organization. It is not in "default," because the IMF doesn't use that term. Nor does missing an IMF payment trigger credit default swap (CDS) payouts or earn a "default" grade from credit ratings agencies. But that's all semantics. What matters more is where Greece goes next.[i] Whatever verb you use to describe what happened Tuesday, Greece has missed a debt payment and is without a bailout program for the first time in five years.

So Greece had a busy weekend, PM Alex Tsipras sent 30 increasingly bizarre Tweets[i], and global markets had a busy Monday pricing in all the chaos. Except in Greece, where markets are closed all week to prevent panic. Virtually everywhere else, though, volatility reigned. With Greece facing political pandemonium, capital controls and imminent default—and creditors clearly out of patience—we can only imagine the bludgeoning Greek stocks would have taken if it weren't for the emergency bank holiday.[ii] Our take hasn't changed: However this ends, the risk of protracted global fallout remains quite small. But brace for more volatility, just in case, and spare a thought for Greek people, because they're in for a tough time.
19, 17, 27. No, this isn't a pattern-identification test. Nor is it a Fibonacci number sequence or our gym locker combo. It is also not LeBron James' salary (in millions of dollars) over the last three years, though that's close. These are three flavors of current S&P 500 price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios. All are above their long-term averages, leading many to contend that any way you slice it, US stocks are overvalued , expensive, or any other adjective you might use—hence sub-par returns must lie ahead. But valuations—no matter the flavor—do not predict future returns.
What exactly are these different P/Es? Simple! They are, in order, the S&P 500's trailing, forward and cyclically adjusted P/E ratios. Trailing earnings are the index constituents' reported profits over the prior 12 months. This is the oldest and arguably best-known P/E ratio—stock price divided by actual, reported, known earnings.
But reported earnings are … well … already reported—old news. Stocks look forward, so many consider trailing P/Es irrelevant. To solve this, many use forward P/Es—the second "traditional" measure—which compare prices to consensus earnings expectations for the next year. Analysts estimates often prove inaccurate, but proponents claim they are usually close enough and are at least forward-looking. Analysts currently expect rising profits over the next year—explaining why the S&P 500's forward P/E is currently the lowest of the three.
Thursday's personal finance pages were awash with pundits sharing investing lessons learned (with varying degrees of value). The Wall Street Journal's Morgan Housel offered up four mostly sensible points. The Motley Fool's Sean Williams offered 21 occasionally overlapping points that have some real pearls of wisdom. Best of all, US News and World Report's Catherine Alford offered "12 Money Lessons Your Child Should Know Before Age 12." (This latter article included the most basic-yet-overlooked lesson of all—the power of compound interest. Many folks older than age 12 could benefit from learning to love compounding.) However, might we suggest a timely 38th lesson? Recent trends do not predict the future. That is a lesson it seems to us many investors—including some professional prognosticators—should probably consider.
Next week, 2015 will reach the halfway mark and, as is customary, Wall Street forecasters are already unveiling their second-half outlooks. Thus far in 2015, US stocks (the S&P 500) have returned a paltry 3.4% including dividends (2.4% without). Global stocks have fared better, rising 5.6% (with net dividends), led by Europe and Japan.

Tuesday evening, Convergex Trading's Nicholas Colas and Jessica Rabe released an interesting note that caught our eye, highlighting a curiosity in the Dow's 1.8% return thus far in 2015 (on a price basis). Colas and Rabe point out the year's modest positive return is accounted for by only two stocks: Goldman Sachs and United Healthcare. That's it! The other 28 stocks' returns net to basically zero. They go on to discuss the fact the top 10 Dow stocks dominate the gauge's return, suggesting whatever big round number you think is next for the Dow, your outlook better hinge on the top 10 stocks. While they don't come right out and say it, this echoes a point we've long made here: Narrow, price-weighted gauges like the Dow are fatally flawed. The Dow simply does not reflect the US stock market, and investors would be well served to set it aside in favor of broader, market-cap weighted indexes.
Genocide in South Sudan. Ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. Political prisoners and purges in China, Iran and Venezuela. Continued Russian attacks in Ukraine. Human trafficking in Africa and Asia. Our world is sadly never free from state-sponsored atrocities. As we often remind readers, markets are cold-hearted and often rise in the face of localized human suffering. But people aren't cold-hearted! Many investors care deeply about human rights and other social issues. So what is a warm-hearted investor to do about companies that run afoul of their convictions and values?
Ultimately, it is a personal choice. I'm not here to tell you how to think or what to do. But one tactic championed by pundits, activists and advocates these days—divestment—is cloaked in myth. Understanding what divesting does—and doesn't—do can help make investors make more educated decisions.
Divestment, as the name implies, means not investing in any companies that are involved—directly or indirectly—in situations or activities you don't support. That might include Energy companies drilling for oil in South Sudan if you feel passionately about ending genocide. High-tech companies manufacturing in Malaysia, if human trafficking is your issue. Industrials and banks investing in Myanmar's burgeoning infrastructure development, if the strife faced by the Rohingya Muslims is your cause. Any Energy firm drilling for fossil fuels, if you're gunning for a green world.
Hello, readers, and welcome to a new Critical Week for the EuroTM![i] It will have rumors, summits and deadlines galore.[ii] Sensationalism and hyperbole will rule the headlines. Things will sound scary and crazy. If markets don't wobble, headlines will warn stocks are complacent and ignoring huge risk. If markets do wobble, headlines will warn the endgame is finally coming. If you are into political theater, it will be entertaining as all get out. If you are into wordplay, you will giggle over the Grexhaustion, Grexcitement[iii], Grexit and Graccident and sigh over the dra(ch)ma and rumors of drachmail.[iv] If you are trying to ignore the spectacle and figure out what it all means for your investments, you might well find the cacophony confusing and contradictory. So here is our attempt at a rational rundown of what's at stake, what's coming up and why the outcome probably doesn't mean much for global markets, regardless of what that outcome is.
As best as we can tell, here is where things stand now, at 1:10 PM Pacific Daylight Time on June 22.[v] Greece's bailout extension expires next Tuesday, June 30. If Greece and creditors agree on reforms by then, they get the €7.2 billion left in the bailout. No deal, no money, and Greece faces almost certain bankruptcy. For now, they seem to be inching toward a deal. After promising to say "the big no" to more austerity last week, Greek PM Alexis Tsipras and his team of negotiators submitted a new reform proposal that made a "potentially major concession on pensions" late Sunday (or early Monday, depending on the source). The ever-leaky unnamed sources familiar with talks said that concession is eliminating early retirement next year, replacing the planned gradual phase-out. Tax concessions reportedly include doubling VAT on hotels and hiking taxes on business profits over €500,000 annually and annual incomes over €30,000. The goal here is to close a €900 million budget gap between Greece's earlier proposals and creditors' demands, and Athens estimates their plan will hit fairly close to creditors' target. Jeroen Dijsselbloem, head of the Eurogroup (the official name for the gang of eurozone finance ministers), called it "a welcome step in a positive direction" and "an opportunity to get that deal later this week."
Temper your enthusiasm, though, because there is a lot of ground to cover, and not everyone shares Dijsselbloem's optimism. Entering Monday's Eurogroup meeting, the German, Irish and Finnish finance ministers threw cold water on hopes of a deal in the near future. Dijsselbloem warned they'd all "really need to look at the specifics to see whether it adds up in fiscal terms." The Eurogroup meeting wrapped with no announcements or fanfare. The emergency eurozone leaders' summit held Monday was similarly inconclusive—partly because Greece evidently submitted two versions of its plan, partly because no one had enough time to read the whole shebang before they all sat down.
Are investors sleepwalking their way to disaster? Some say so, with global stocks once again flirting with all-time highs in the face of what many believe are big, bad negatives. The Greek debacle. Looming Fed rate hikes. China slowdown. They suggest investors are being too complacent, ignoring big risks—cause for alarm. But are markets really ignoring these things? Or are they instead doing what markets regularly do—efficiently discounting widely known information and moving on what is most likely over the mid-to-longer term.
Stocks, like all highly liquid markets, are forward-looking and efficient. Today's big news is near-always already reflected in stock prices, regardless of when "today" is or what the "big news" entails. Stocks usually aren't concerned with the right now. They're concerned with the foreseeable future. While sentiment can swing stocks in the short term, in our experience, stocks don't move on fundamental events that occur within the next three months or beyond the next 30 or so. Instead, they weigh—and move on—what is likeliest to occur between the next 3 and the next 30 months, focusing most on the next 12-18 months. While investors and headlines obsess over the day's headlines, markets look beyond the myopia and, usually, move on the things few talk about.
The existence of negatives—real or perceived—is typical in bull markets. The world is never pristine and needn't be for stocks to rise. Consider the present bull market: It wasn't born when some sounded the All Clear to Buy Stocks Again siren. It was born in early 2009, when the world economy was in rough shape but less bad than most headlines and investors feared. Folks feared Great Depression Part Deux, which became priced into markets, and, when it didn't come, stocks surged on positive surprise. Most often, markets weigh positives versus negatives, then compare the balance to sentiment—this is what good old Ben Graham meant when saying markets are weighing machines in the long run. If the positives outweigh the negatives over the foreseeable future, that is often good enough for stocks.
With most eyes focused elsewhere (ahem, Greece), investors might have overlooked some tidbits of data confirming the global economy continues plowing forward, undeterred by the Hellenic Republic's drama. Most of these numbers didn't make the front page, but they suggest the bull stands on a firm economic ground—and this doesn't look likely to change in the near future.
Let's start with retail sales, which rose and beat expectations in America and Britain last month. While retail sales have limitations, they indicate consumer spending—a large component of economic activity—is doing just fine. US sales jumped up 1.2% m/m (2.7% y/y), prompting relief that consumers were "finally" spending their gasoline savings after months of lackluster retail results—with almost no discussion of the fact that retail sales largely omits the service sector (where most consumer spending happens). In the UK, headlines were more optimistic about the 0.2% m/m (4.6% y/y) rise, even though it was slower than April's 0.9% m/m—they simply concluded consumers were spending their extra cash on services, not gadgets and baubles. Which seems about right to us, considering the UK's retail sales gauge excludes food service, making it even narrower than the US's gauge. Full consumer spending is what matters, and retail sales won't tell you much about that, whether it's the US's jump or the UK's slowdown. Plus, it was always presumptuous to say falling oil and gas prices are big economic stimulus. Sure, they help consumers, but folks always had three choices when it comes to their gas savings: save, pay down debt or shop.
The week's industrial production data were less rosy, but we wouldn't make much of it—the developed world's factories haven't led this expansion. In the UK, April industrial production rose 0.4% m/m (1.2% y/y)—its third straight monthly rise—but mining and quarrying drove the increase. The narrower manufacturing gauge, which better reflects UK factories, contracted -0.4% m/m. Manufacturing also contracted -0.2% m/m in the US in May while industrial production missed expectations—dropping -0.2% m/m. Eurozone industrial output ticked up on a monthly basis in April—0.1% from March's -0.4%--though the year-over-year number was lower (0.8% vs. 2.1%). Some good, some meh, but all consistent with the trends we've seen throughout this expansion—choppy, uneven growth. The month-to-month bumpiness in industrial and manufacturing output hasn't prevented these regions' economies from growing overall. We don't see much (if any) evidence today's wobbles are different than past wobbles.
For such a small country, Greece sure has hogged a lot of headlines this week. We're complicit, adding to the headline count yesterday and devoting five of Wednesday's 11 story blurbs to the Hellenic Republic. It's a fascinating topic and changes by the moment. But it is a big world, and a lot of non-Greek things have happened this week—things we reckon investors might like to know about. So here is a rundown of news you might have missed amid the Greek news deluge.
The Fed Didn't Raise Interest Rates
Ok, this one you probably saw. No big changes, no new forward guidance—just acknowledgment that growth has picked up since Q1, which most already suspected. The legendary "dot plot" of Fed people's interest rate forecasts showed they expect rates to rise more gradually than they anticipated three months ago. In her post-game presser, Chair Janet Yellen urged people to stop focusing on the timing of the first hike and think more about the pace of the overall tightening cycle—then told everyone not to read into the dot plots and reminded us it's all data-dependent. "It's data-dependent" is the rough translation of approximately half her answers, which seems like appropriate use of non-committal Fedspeak. Though she did slip once when discussing the eventual first hike, ruminating on the relative unimportance of the timing "whether it is September or December or March," which most assume means no hike in July.[i] And she made an odd reference to the Fed's desire to raise rates "gradually," which she helpfully (?) clarified as about one percentage point per year, or a quarter-point every other meeting. We suggest you not take that to the bank, given how her previous attempts at clarity, specificity and transparency have fizzled—she always seems to move the goalposts. Maybe the Fed indeed "wants" to follow this schedule, but wanting doesn't mean they will. Like the San Francisco Fed's t-shirt says, it's all data-dependent[ii].
Is the UK housing market overheating, or is it merely the latest example of froth fears that are detached from reality?
Recent home price data and the UK's Help to Buy scheme's early expansion already have some UK politicians and business leaders wondering—some going as far as calling for the Bank of England to cap rising home prices. Taking a deeper look, however, I see a different story: Rapid housing price gains have been concentrated in London. Restricting overall UK housing with more legislation likely won't fix that, and it probably won't help spread London's gains to UK housing elsewhere. More importantly, the fact UK housing gains aren't widespread tells me a nationwide bubble neither exists nor is particularly probable—even with an expanded Help to Buy program.
While UK housing started slowly improving after Help to Buy began in April, the program has only been lightly used in the early going—suggesting the housing recovery is coming from strengthening underlying fundamentals and isn't purely scheme-driven. In Help to Buy's first phase, the government promised to lend up to 20% of a home's value at rock bottom rates (interest free for five years, 1.75% interest after) to buyers with a 5% down payment—providing up to £3.5 billion in total loans. Only first-home buyers (of any income strata) seeking newly built houses valued at £600k or less could participate. The Treasury began a second (earlier-than-expected) iteration in October, in which it guarantees 20% of the total loan to lenders, instead of lending directly to the buyer. The program was also expanded another £12 billion for buyers purchasing any home (new or not).
With interest rates on everything from savings accounts to junk bonds at or near generational lows, many income-seeking investors are looking for creative or, to some, exotic means of generating cash flow. Some are turning to a relatively little-known type of security—master limited partnerships (MLPs). MLPs may attract investors for a number of reasons: their high dividend yields and tax incentives, to name a couple. But, like all investments, MLPs have pros and cons, which are crucial to understand if you're considering investing in them.
MLPs were created in the 1980s by a Congress hoping to generate more interest in energy infrastructure investment. The aim was to create a security with limited partnership-like tax benefits, but publicly traded—bringing more liquidity and fewer restrictions and thus, ideally, more investors. Currently, only select types of companies are allowed to form MLPs—primarily in energy transportation (e.g., oil pipelines and similar energy infrastructure).
To mitigate their tax liability, MLPs distribute 90% of their profits to their investors—or unit holders—through periodic income distributions, much like dividend payments. And, because there is no initial loss of capital to taxes, MLPs can offer relatively high yields, usually around 6-7%. Unit holders receive a tax benefit, too: Much of the dividend payment is treated as a return of capital—how much is determined by the distributable cash flow (DCF) from the MLP's underlying venture (e.g., the oil pipeline).
When the Fed kept quantitative easing (QE) in place last week, US investors weren't the only ones (wrongly) breathing a sigh of relief. Taper terror is fully global! In Emerging Markets (EM), many believe QE tapering will cause foreign capital to retreat. Some EM currencies took it on the chin as taper talk swirled over the summer, and many believe this is evidence of their vulnerability—with India the prime example as its rupee fell over 20% against the dollar at one point. Yet while taper jitters perhaps contributed to the volatility, evidence suggests India's troubles are tied more to long-running structural issues and seemingly erratic monetary policy—and suggests EM taper fears are as false as their US counterparts.
The claim QE is propping up asset prices implies there is some sort of overinflated disconnect between Emerging Markets assets and fundamentals—a mini-bubble. Yet this is far removed from reality—not what you'd expect if QE were a significant positive driver. Additionally, the thesis assumes money from rounds two, three and infinity of QE has flooded into the developing world—and flows more with each round of monthly Fed bond purchases. As Exhibit 1 shows, however, foreign EM equity inflows were strongest in 2009 as investors reversed their 2008 panic-driven retreat. Flows eased off during 2010 and have been rather weak—and often negative—since 2011.

Since 1932, the average S&P 500 bull market has lasted roughly four and a half years. With the present bull market a hair older than the average—and with domestic and global indexes setting new highs—some fret this bull market is long in the tooth. However, while bull markets die of many things, age and gravity aren't among them. History argues the fundamentals underpinning this bull market are powerful enough to lift stocks higher from here, with economic growth likely to continue—and potentially even accelerate moving forward as bank lending increases.

MarketMinder's View: We're somewhat ambivalent about this one. On the one hand, it highlights a few key ways the US isn't Greece: America has a much deeper and diversified economy (as this piece quips, it's much more than tourism and olive trees), doesn't suffer from Greek-style corruption, has much better tax collection and can set its own monetary policy. However, we don't believe the US has "massively unsustainable borrowing." Though many bemoan the US's $18 trillion dollar debt, about 102% of GDP, that figure includes the government's holdings, which effectively cancel (it's money they owe themselves). Net debt (held by the public) is $13.1 trillion, about 74% of GDP. Plus, the ability to service this debt is what really matters, and US borrowing costs are very low and falling. Debt service is less than 8% of tax revenue. If debt rises for years at breakneck speed and interest rates soar to nosebleed levels and stay there, then we'll have a problem, but that risk is almost nil in the foreseeable future. Markets don't deal with remote far-future possibilities in the here and now.
MarketMinder's View: Why? Because the labor force participation rate fell again. Folks, the labor force participation rate is a largely meaningless statistic. Everyone focuses on the numerator—labor force—forgetting the denominator, population, has as much influence on the ratio. The labor force itself isn't shrinking—it fell a bit in June, but May was an all-time high. Population is just growing faster, ergo, falling ratio. Don't overthink it. Also, the labor market is a late-lagging indicator, utterly meaningless for stocks. Growth drives jobs, not the other way around.
MarketMinder's View: This piece has a clear political agenda, and we normally wouldn't highlight something of that ilk, but we're making an exception in this case because it has such a simple, clear accounting of Greece's increasing hardships as the Syriza government—elected on an untenable promise of continued euro membership with much less austerity—floundered in negotiations with creditors and ultimately lost the goodwill of Brussels and many of their constituents. When Syriza won January's election, Greece was in a nascent economic recovery. Now they are back in recession, and the downturn is almost sure to steepen. Grexit seems perhaps a stone's throw away, and for all the pixels spilled over how devaluation could boost Greek exports and competitiveness in the long run, in the near term it will be devastating: "As usual, it is the poor who suffer the most. The Greek elites' Swiss bank accounts aren't subject to withdrawal limits. The rich don't stand to lose their savings if the government forcibly converts their money into newly minted drachmas." We can't help but wonder how closely Spanish voters are watching and whether this will turn them off of their Syriza equivalent, the Podemos party, which is polling well as the general election there approaches.
MarketMinder's View: Analysts currently expect S&P 500 Q2 profits to fall year over year—"more ammunition for bears who say equity valuations are too high." We would quibble with this for several reasons: (1) As this notes, most of the expected decline stems from cratering Energy profits. Excluding Energy, profits are expected to grow a little. (2) Market valuations typically expand in maturing phases of bull markets, and earnings growth can slow or even turn negative without derailing bull markets. (3) Part of the reason analysts expect earnings to drop in Q2 is the strong US dollar, which supposedly hurts exports. But they said the same thing in Q1, and earnings grew—turned out they forgot a strong dollar helps lower overseas costs, offsetting much of its impact on overseas revenue, as we discussed in more detail here. And finally, (4) stocks are forward-looking. Q2 is in the past now, and stocks have already discounted all these dreary expectations. They're looking to the next 3-30 months or so, and most expect earnings to reaccelerate in that window.

Sepultura album stream
Personally think this is one of the best Derrick era albums.
Digging: The Named - The Named
who the fuck mixed this..his voice is so low and wierd...
anyhow i doubt this tops roorback
Awesome album. The new drummer is insane! I agree with this being one of the best albums of the derrick green era as well
Their best album in a very long time, still not very good but could be much worse.
Best Derrick < Worst Max.
I heard Kairos is pretty good but it's hard to judge whether any Sepultura album with Derrick is any good since everybody's always like "it's alright, FOR DERRICK ANYWAY". Poor guy.
SarcAsticBastard, yeah! If you're competing for best caveman / angry hobo award ! Green and co are doing an awesome job in Sepultura and have kept this band fresh. Kudos to them.
I prefer Soulfly but I still dig Sepultura. Roorback, Dante and Kairos were all pretty good, this one is probably one of the best though.
"I heard Kairos is pretty good but it's hard to judge whether any Sepultura album with Derrick is
any good since everybody's always like 'it's alright, FOR DERRICK ANYWAY'. Poor guy."
There's a reason everyone does that...
"yeah! If you're competing for best caveman / angry hobo award !"
Thanks for sharing that you've never listened to Max-era Sepultura.
"Best Derrick < Worst Max."
i would agree but roots exists so
Digging: Between the Buried and Me - Coma Ecliptic
This seems pretty decent so far, definitely up there with the better Derrick stuff. Nothing special, but solid. The Vatican was a cool track.
Name one post-Max album better than Roots.
all of them honestly
Yeah i would say all of them as well
^ Really?
'Roots' is a patchy affair but still IMO, better than anything since (not saying it's all been bad though). It may have actually done them good in the long run if they had changed the band name. It surely helped them at first, but they'll never escape the comparisons to the Max-fronted Sepultura.
I see you Derrick Green(y86).
Yeah think it's pretty lame that MetalSucks dragged down their rating of this album purely because it's Sepultura and they felt compelled to compare it to the old Max era albums.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 9/1/12
The Texas Rangers will give 19-year-old infielder Jurickson Profar, considered their top prospect, a chance to prove he belongs on the playoff roster. The club announced after Friday's 5-3 win over the Cleveland Indians that it intended to purchase the contract of Profar from Class AA Frisco. He hit .281 (135-for-480) with 14 home runs, 26 doubles, seven triples, 62 RBI, 76 runs and 16 stolen bases in 126 games with Frisco. He has played shortstop primarily, but he has also worked at second. His 47 extra-base hits are the most by any Class AA infielder, and he has hit .294 (134-for-456) since opening the season 2-for-26. His 50-game on-base streak from April 7-June 2 is the longest by any minor league player in 2012. Profar ranked among Texas League leaders in triples (tied for fourth), total bases (sixth), walks (sixth), runs (seventh), hits (seventh), slugging percentage (10th), doubles (tied for 11th) and RBI (11th). The Rangers are considering options for a reserve middle ...

InfoSonics Reports Fourth Quarter 2012 Results PR Newswire SAN DIEGO, March 22, 2013 SAN DIEGO, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), the provider of verykool® wireless handset solutions, today announced results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012. "There are both positive and negative aspects to our fourth quarter results," said Joseph Ram, president and CEO of InfoSonics. "We were pleased to report a 57% growth in sales in the fourth quarter compared to the preceding third quarter, along with record sales in our core Latin American market and record total unit shipments for both the fourth quarter and the year as a whole. However, our gross profit margin was lower than the third quarter and we incurred higher R&D, marketing and carrier certification expenses which resulted in the loss for the quarter. Our gross margin was impacted by more aggressive pricing and special customer incentives formulated to stimulate sales, some of which may benefit future quarters. Our operating expenses included a high level of R&D spending as we invested heavily in a new line of ruggedized smartphones. The concurrent development of these models over the last two quarters required an expansion of our team. But now that the work is mostly behind us, we have reduced the size of the team and recorded a restructuring reserve in the quarter as we streamline all our China operations. We have also taken steps to reduce our other operating expenses. Beginning with the second quarter of 2013, we expect approximately $1.5 million in annual savings from these collective actions compared to the fourth quarter 2012 run-rate." Expanding his comments, Mr. Ram noted, "We are encouraged by the pace of orders in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, our R&D investment will enable us to launch a number of new smartphones during the second quarter of 2013 and we are expanding our sales efforts into the U.S. market. We remain committed to our strategy." InfoSonics reported net sales for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $8.4 million, which represented a $3.5million, or 29%, decline from $11.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. The reason for the decline was the absence of low-margin Samsung distribution sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $3.5million in distribution sales in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company transitioned away from this low-margin business in March 2012. The Company noted that although sales of verykool® products were flat compared to the prior year quarter, unit shipments increased 73%. The average selling price per unit declined 42% as a result of a shift in product mix to lower‑end products and more aggressive pricing during the quarter. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $34.3 million, which represented a $0.6 million, or 2%, decrease from $34.9 million for the 2011 year. Net sales of verykool® products during 2012 grew by $10.1million, or 47%, compared to 2011, but were more than offset by a $10.7 million decline in distribution sales. Gross profit margin as a percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 improved to 16.0% compared to 13.5% in the 2011 fourth quarter, primarily as a result of the absence of low-margin distribution sales in the 2012 third quarter. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.4million, a 16% decline from $1.6 million in the 2011 fourth quarter. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $6.8million, a $2.3 million, or 50%, increase from $4.5 million for the 2011 year. The gross profit margin as a percent of sales for 2012 improved to 19.9% from 13.0% in the prior year period, also reflecting the significant decline in low-margin distribution sales during the year. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2012 were $2.5 million, an increase of 28% compared to $2.0million in the 2011 fourth quarter. This reflects an 18% increase in SG&A expenses primarily attributable to increases in marketing expenses and increased compensation for new employees and contractors. In addition, R&D expenses rose by 64% primarily as a result of expansion of the Company's China-based development team and a $100,000 accrual for the restructuring planned for the first quarter of 2013. For similar reasons, operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $9.3million, a 32% increase from $7.1 million for the 2011 year. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $1.2 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $359,000, or $0.03 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. The net loss for both years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $2.5million, or $0.18 per share. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $6.2 million in cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, $16.2million of net working capital and no outstanding indebtedness. Cash balances declined by $4.1million compared to the September 30, 2012 balances primarily as a result of the growth in receivables generated by the significantly higher level of sales in the fourth quarter, as well as the loss for the quarter.

Media Matters
Number One With a Bullet
Why New Jerseyans love The Sopranos.
"What exit are you?" is a relatively frequent response when I tell people I'm from New Jersey. The exit joke, used most often by New Yorkers, refers to the New Jersey Turnpike, which runs the length of the state from New York City to Delaware. Another dirty lie about the state is that it is, well, dirty. Both of these gags are represented in the opening credits of HBO's The Sopranos, as Tony leaves the Lincoln Tunnel to drive into New Jersey in his Chevy Suburban to the tune of A3's ragged "Woke Up This Morning" (it begins, "You woke up this morning/ Got yourself a gun").
For locals, a big part of the draw of watching The Sopranos is the "I know where that is!" factor. There are few places I can go in New Jersey that don't involve passing the Satin Dolls strip club (Bada Bing on the show) en route. It becomes a game to see how many places New Jerseyans can identify. We watch the show to see small pieces of our lives reflected on the television.
To wit, a scene in which a garbage truck exploded was filmed across the street from my father's factory. Sopranos executives inquired if the "boss" was at the factory in order to get permission to film someone getting whacked on the loading dock. Unfortunately, the manager was not in and the scene never got shot. Tony Soprano beat someone about the head in an industrial park right off the ramp of Exit 160 of the Garden State Parkway, another fine Jersey roadway.
Some New Jerseyans insist on pressing the point that just because the show is filmed at authentic New Jersey locales doesn't make it authentic. "People drive the New Jersey Turnpike and think it's full of factories and oil refineries. They think the mob is apparent in everyday life. The Sopranos is a caricature of New Jersey. That lifestyle might exist, but we never see it," says my dad, Michael Blanchfield.
But good caricatures are grounded in experience. The Sopranos succeeds on the strength of its believable characters. Meadow and Anthony Jr. could just as easily be substituted for anybody I went to high school with, except their father is a mob boss. Carmela's accent works because most of my family talks like that, too.
A, uh, mutually beneficial relationship exists between those who provide New Jersey backdrops for filming and those who film. Local organizations appreciate the business the publicity can bring them, and counties vie for a piece of the action. The County of Passaic Motion Picture and Television Film Commission believes The Sopranos "increases the positive image of the county."
Well… OK. But even if you don't think watching Chris-tah-fuh slap his coke-snorting girlfriend Adriana around, or seeing Tony and crew whack Big Pussy or pushing a drug dealer over the Great Falls will add to a county's "positive image," there is a certain allure that the show confers. The Sopranos may or may not glorify the mob but it certainly makes New Jersey life seem darker and more interesting.
Because Tony & Co. are not hardened city-slicking thugs but mushy suburbanites, the show whets the imagination of Garden Staters. The guy running the pizza place around the corner probably doesn't have mafia ties, but, then, maybe he does. And how does Susie's dad, the coach of your daughter's soccer team, make his living again? The Sopranos succeeds with New Jerseyans because it makes us wonder what's going on next door.

JackFortville, InAge: Over 65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent book for Elder training.August 7, 2013JackFortville, InAge: Over 65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This book on Pastoral Epistle is a good study for those who are interested in Eldership training for the biblical model of the New Testament church, it clarifies the Greek text and is a bit on the technical but necessary aspect of the doctrine of church
I have other books by William Mounce which are also very excellent.
KaliKalulushiGender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Puttin the cookies where the kiddies can get 'em!!August 11, 2012KaliKalulushiGender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5There is no question about it, this is the best commentary on the Pastoral Epistles. I don't normally appreciate the format of the series but for this one, I will make an exception. In fact, I found it to be particularly helpful.
Each section begins with a discussion of the form/structure/setting and ends with an explanation where he ties the whole discussion of the passage together so that you don't miss the forest for the trees. Though the series is meant to be a highly technical series, this commentary is surprisingly so readable. Mounce has a knack for simplifying complex issues. He does this as well in his Basics of Biblical Greek. I haven't read such a good commentary since Leon Morris on the gospel of John (NICNT).
I also have Towners Commentary on the Pastorals in the NICNT series but it not as clearly written as this one. If you had money to buy only one commentary, by all means get this one. For sermon preparation, this is a must!
God bless
Christopher Myers5 Stars Out Of 5March 26, 2003Christopher MyersAll I have to say about this commentary is "BUY IT!" This is BY FAR the best available commentary on the Pastoral Epistles. If you only have one commentary on the Pastorals, make it this one. I would encourage you to read Buddy Boone's reviews of this commentary and Marshall's.
Buddy Boone5 Stars Out Of 5October 17, 2001Buddy BooneHere is the work of a lifetime of research by Dr. William Mounce. The detail Mounce provides on the Pastorals is immense. In the massive introduction, Mounce makes the most convincing argument to date for Pauline authorship. The exegesis is lucid and convincing. The textual information is exhaustive and extremely helpful. His closing explanations of each section are carefully structured for maximum comprehension of the context. Thankfully, Dr. Mounce has translated the lion's share of Greek, which makes it accessible to those who have little knowledge of Greek. Use it with his NIV English-Greek New Testament and you will study these epistles in a way you only dreamed of before! Greek students will treasure this work! A well rounded commentary library should include this work along with the NIGTC work by George Knight, the ICC work by I. Howard Marshall, and the NIBC work by Gordon Fee.
Courtney5 Stars Out Of 5September 8, 2000CourtneyThis is by far the best commentary written on the Pastoral Epistles.

GreenMamma - thanks for your feedback. You are likely right, though I hope to prove you wrong with tomorrow's temp
BTW, I am hypothyroid too. Just wondering at what levels (i.e. TSH) that your cycles are affected? What kinds of changes do you notice first?
peaches' mom - Anything over a 2 and I can feel it. And what do I notice first in relation to my cycles? Or in general? With my cycles, my O is weak (hardly any fertile fluid, when I usually have lots), my LP is short, and my period is very heavy for 2 weeks. And my temps are much lower than normal (most notably in the follicular phase).
Updated List To Here
mariacm~ Welcome to the group. I put you under waiting to O.
Mary~ on AF showing up. Thanks for the compliment on Farrah, she is so much fun and such a very laid back dog compared to Charlie our mini schnauzer lol.
peaches' mom~ She is settling in pretty good, i could have done without getting up at almost 2am this morning to let her outside and then again at almost 7am. She gets along great with our mini schnauzer.
SoCali - thanks for adding me. Waiting to O is right. Haven't yet figured out how to link chart to the smilie, can't remember how to make it work! I'll try to soon tho.
Greenmomma- thanks for the encouragement about the thryoid thing. I'm hoping that's all it is. Haven't had my levels checked in a year, so we'll see. My doc only uses FT4, not TSH. Last check it was 1.3, so mid-normal.
Peaches - there's a hypo thread in TTC that I started several days ago if you want to check it out.
I hope we all see BFP's soon!
Mariacm - I'll definitely check out your hypo thread, I have technical questions that I'd love some input on from my hypo sisters. Thanks for letting me know!
GreenMamma - thanks for your feedback re: your hypo signs. And yes, I was referring to how it impacts your cycle.
I got my usual temp jump today, indicating I'm now in the LP. Does anyone want to take a shot at pinpointing my O date? There is a link to my chart on the first page of this thread (I'm in waiting to O) - can't figure out how to insert a link here. I am very confused given my +OPK dates, cm, etc. This was not a normal cycle for me. Think I'm just too close to it to have any perspective. I have a vested interest given our BD timing.
SoCali - Thanks for your input. I hope you're right!
I think it's completely possible you did O on cd 18 and had a slow rise.
if you have had PPAF, when did it come?? Were you still nursing on demand? through the night?
I know it is different for every woman, but I just want to get a 'feel' for the 'room'.
My DD is 3 days shy of 18 months and she BFs at her leisure, which is very frequently--all day and night--I have still had no PPAF and have had babyfever since she was a wee babe. We were waiting to officially TTC until this month and although we both want to be pregnant SUPERBAD, we aren't going to try any kind of altering of the BFing relationship until DD is at least 2 years (July 21). Six more months is such a long time away :( and I have this sunking feeling that I will be the 'lucky' mama who doesn't get PPAF until DD is weaned (which I won't do, that is up to her).
trying not to get discouraged at the starting gate. Any advice? words of wisdom? tricks? I do yoga, eat healthy (still trying to lose last bit of pregnancy weight), see a DOM, acupuncture, starting maca next week (both hubs and I).
So, when did PPAF return? and did it take a change in bfing relationship to bring her back?
mamaharrison - Mine came back with babe was 4 days shy of 19 months. Two weeks earlier he nightweaned and I had began limiting his daytime nursing to 7am, 9am 11am (nap), and then not again until at least 5pm. But up until that point he was nursing like a newborn. I planned the dayweaning and letting him take the lead on nights, but he was the one who chose to nightwean (going from about 8:30/9pm until 4pm).
thanks for your info :)
DD isn't interested in any kind of weaning or cutting back at this point. I don't really keep track of how often she nurses, but I relate it to how little food she eats and that makes me realize that she nurses for 80% of her nutrition daily. The longest she goes is a 4-5 hour break when/if I am away in the afternoon to work, but I work a sporatic schedule so I only away like that maybe 2-4 days a week at most, some weeks not at all. The week of x-mas I was away from her the longest ever. I worked Mon, Tues, Thursday mornings and was away from her for 5 hours on those days. I was really hoping to see some kind of PPAF action from that, but nothing as of yet :( I think she may go 3-4 hours without nursing during the night, but really i don't have any clue because we share a bed and I don't wake at all to her nursing--she finds it herself and I am not bothered by her efforts in the least.
mamaharrison - Mine came back with babe was 4 days shy of 19 months. Two weeks earlier he nightweaned and I had began limiting his daytime nursing to 7am, 9am 11am (nap), and then not again until at least 5pm. But up until that point he was nursing like a newborn. I planned the dayweaning and letting him take the lead on nights, but he was the one who chose to nightwean (going from about 8:30/9pm until 4pm).
Mamaharrison - My PPAF came back (both times) after nightweaning at about 19 months. For most women it is the night nursings that affect your PPAF & hormones more than daytime nursing. You're in the right place here! Welcome!
GreenMamma - thanks for your recent feedback!
As of today FF finally gave me crosshairs, although I don't agree with their O date. I feel strongly that my temp shift was before that (even though it was very small). My temp jumped again pretty dramatically today (usually I stay in the 36.6 range post O), too early for a triphasic so I shouldn't read too much into it! Has anyone seen this kind of chart before? Any input is greatly appreciated!
SoCali - It is with great pleasure that I kindly ask you to please move me to the 2 WW!!!!
P.S. Please excuse me if I'm a little over the top this month, I have been waiting to be back in the game since Sept when my thyroid issues started....
My PPAF came back at 9 months with my son and 14 months with my daughter, which was soon after they night weaned.

mamaharrison - we co-sleep too, but i definitely wake each time he wants to it. at least it' easy to fall back asleep once latched on. :)
I'm so encouraged to read the discussions going on in this thread! :) Hope all is well with everyone today.
Well, I had a little setback over the weekend and part of last week with a case of plugged ducts and mastitis. Fortunately, since I tackled it straight away it seems to be healing well. However, my effort to reduce nighttime nursings was thwarted b/c I wanted DS at the breast whenever possible to help with the infection!
With the infection on the way out, I'm hoping that DS will stay with DD for longer and longer stretches in the night.
I'm wondering: what would mean that DS is night-weaned? No nursing from bedtime to waking up? Or nursing at bedtime and waking but nothing in between?
I have to say that this is a tough one for me, even though the little guy turned 2yrs last week!
Mama , DH , DD (05) , DS1 (09) , DS2 (12)
Guess what guess what!
Shock of all shocks, I got a BFP last night!! I wasn't expecting it in the slightest! I was sure AF was on her way. I'd told DH that we this wasn't the month for us. But lo & behold, a BFP! I actually took 3 tests in a row because I thought the 1st two were defective! LOL
I used internet cheapies. I wish I could tell you exactly how many DPO I was, but unfortunately this was the weirdest cycle I'ver ever had! I got my first BFP with my last 3 babies right on 12DPO. But this time, I had a negative ovulation test 12 and 13 days before I got my BFP. But my cervix closed up pretty immediately after I took those 2 ovulation predictor tests. So, I HAD to have conceived before them. But then that would mean I was at least 14DPO when I got the BFP. And I would have ovulated the day before getting a very obvious negative on the O test. ???
I have zero experience with O predictor tests! Will they look unmistakably negative the day after one ovulates?
Oh, and I wanted to mention also that I got 3 positive ICs, then took the one FRER test I had, all in the same night. It was negative! The ICs were stronger than that darn expensive FRER!
My best guess for my due date is Sept 27th. I'm just gonna call it "late Sept."
This is baby #6 for us. And it will have made us have one baby born each month August through December. :) AND it's hilarious to me, but I predicted this due date. Years ago I told a friend that "if my husband & I follow our pattern & our babies keep coming when they do- then I should expect our next baby in Sept of 2011!" LOL! I loved calling that friend this morning & telling her!
ANYWAY. Am I rambling or what!!
I hope hope hope that some of you ladies come join me over in the Sept ddc!
North Idaho rural living mama to: 23 yo DD, 17 yo DS, 9 yo DS, 7 yo DS, 5 yr old DS, 3 yo DD, 2 yo DS, and our newest family member, a boy born December 2014!
To answer Mamaharrison - I got PPAF at 10 wks PP. Not fun! I was hoping for at least 6 months of freedom from AF, but oh well. I nightweaned at 5 mos (from 10.30pm - 6am) and delayed solids for DS til 9 months. So for me, there was no relationship bw nursing/night nursing/solids and PPAF.
However, I'm not sure I can get pregnant still. I have had 12 cycles now (DS is 14 months) and almost all my LP's have been only 8 days long.
Update on me: I went to the endo today for a checkup for my thyroid, and discussed the LP thing with him. He said he believes it is not thyroid related, and is purely due to breastfeeding. He thinks that even though I've been cycling (and ovulating) for a while, my repro hormones are suppressed enough by nursing that the LP is short. He said he wouldn't worry til I've TTC'd with no success for 4 cycles AFTER weaning. He expects that after weaning, the LP will lengthen automatically to 12+ days. I was hoping to get preg in the next couple of cycles and nurse while preg for a few months.
So, I'm kind of disappointed that it can't be simply 'fixed' by adjusting thryoid meds. (Got the test done today anyway, results are yet to come and adjustments may be needed unrelated to TTC). DS shows NO signs of being ready to cut back on nursing. He nurses about every 3 hours while he's awake, which means about 6-7 times daily bw 6am and 11pm. He eats a good amt of solids but it seems he still needs the milk calories, acc to the ped, for his weight. He's on dairy too but jsut a few ounces a day. And he just likes to nurse and I like the BF relationship.
I understand that nature built in some lacation-induced infertility for most women for a reason, to focus on the baby you already have. I just didn't think I'd fit into this category since I've been cycling so long already. So now I'm trying to wrap my head around the possibility of having to wean DS before being able to conceive. I'm not willing to try to wean DS until he's 2 years old (Nov). I just don't think it's fair to him to force him to wean now when he needs it so much and he's still quite young, just so I can get pregnant now.
Maybe my LP will lengthen by itself with no change in nursing (fingers crossed, though that would defy logic at this point!) We had hoped for about 2 years bw kiddos, but maybe that's not meant to be for us, and our kids will have to be farther apart.
Zjande - I was typing while you posted, so CONGRATS! So happy for you!
Just checking in here...I am officially ttc #3 now. Well, have been for about 6 months now. Was hoping not to have to supplement with progesterone this time but it looks like that may be the only way for me. If no, non-progesterone, baby by April, will try that again. Scared about another ectopic or miscarriage but am making it through. Oh and I have a 6 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old. 2 1/1 year old still nursing, mostly at night and nap time.
Wish us luck!!

Hi there, I've been a bit quiet lately, feeling bummed by the lack of any changes. It's nearly four months after total weaning for me and still no sign of returning fertility. I have an appointment next week for fasting serum prolactin, so we'll see. Normally I am exactly the opposite of aggressive medical management, but the doctor looks at me and sees "you're so young!" and I look at me and see wanting a larger family and history of early menopause in my family.
A huge congrats to all the BFPs I missed! Fingers crossed for those in the 2ww!
Me + DH + DS ('07) + after a long and bumpy road, thrilled that our twin boys are finally here (DS2 & DS3, '12)

gozal - That must be so stressful. I hope you get answers & you are fertile again soon.
sraplayas - I agree with SoCali, but also want to warn you that OPKs can be misleading. Before your PPAF (and, for some of us, even for many months afterward ), your body may gear up to O without actually getting there. Are you charting, too? As far as I know, that is the only way to confirm O. Good luck!
SoCali - thanks for the fx. I am already getting my hopes up....
xerxella - How long will you wait before you test? I'm already strategizing
Had to pop in to say. . .
zjande--congrats!!! :D So happy for you! To answer your question about OPKs, yes, they will turn neg pretty quickly usually the day that you O. Could be the day after, but OPKs catch the LH surge and that usually happens in the 12-36 hours BEFORE you O. Hope that helps you pinpoint your dpo. . .not that it matters, you're pg! H&H9 to you!
sraplayas--on the OPKs. . .I have been like you and waiting for my first PP AF and wondering and going crazy. So I did buy OPKs and I just had my first + this week! :) Even though I could have guessed since I had all other signs of impending O (sore nipples, EWCM, etc), it was really nice to see those two lines. I am now waiting to see if I get a temp rise to confirm that I did actually O. I sure hope I did after all that! I did use up a lot though b/c I like to POAS, hehe. But I could have been conservative and only used them this past week, when I knew something was up. I found an ebay seller that has wondfos for super cheap and I actually used them along with the more $ ones when I got my + and the wondfos were just as good. On ebay I got 30 OPKs for $9 (free shipping!).

4. BOOK: See a Little Light: The Trail of Rage and Melody, Bob Mould
Bob Mould's inspirational new autobiography details a small-town boy's struggles with addiction and long journey to self-acceptance as a gay man, but it rocks hardest when candidly chronicling the bear icon's influential music career, from his explosion onto the scene with '80s punk band Hüsker Dü to his cocreation of the DJ duo Blowoff. For a full schedule of summer readings, acoustic performances, and DJ dates, visit BobMould.com.
3. BOOK: Transparent, Don Lemon
Having been at the forefront of coverage of Hurricane Katrina, Barack Obama's election, and the African AIDS epidemic, CNN's Emmy-winning journalist Don Lemon made headlines of his own when he came out as the victim of a male pedophile and, more recently, as a gay man. In his just-released memoir, Lemon looks back at how he overcame pain and discrimination in Louisiana to become one of the most prominent faces of TV news.
2. FILM: Frameline35
