ARI Activities
Bassma Kodmani argues that a neutral platform is required in which dialogue between all interested parties can take place.
The New York Times -Paris, AFTER four months of popular demonstrations and ferocious repression, including a bloody crackdown on the central city of Hama on Sunday, the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, still refuses to step down, insisting that he can reform his regime.
Financial Times - After a week of suppression and mass punishment, the Syrian army has regained control of the town of Jisr al-Shughour. It has been a brutal campaign in the classic mode of tyrants. But not withstanding this success, the world should be in no doubt that the oligarchy of Assad sons, cousins and buddies is seeing the rationale that has governed for years turn against them.
ARI enters into a partnership with the Arab Democracy Barometer to conduct joint public opinion surveys in eight Arab countries starting in spring 2010.

It's hard sometimes for small business to take the next step towards the better organization of their business management.

This easy to use and unique project management application was designed specifically to help small business become more productive by organizing all your projects, tasks, leads and stock more efficiently.

Control of your business data used to be reasonably easy in the old days of paper. There was probably a rickety old filing cabinet where all your photos and documents were kept and there was probably one person who knew exactly what was going on.

IntelligenceBank Digital Asset Management. is a flexible, fully customizable and easy-to-use Digital Asset Management (DAM) application for business that is packed with great features.

The trouble with many 'to-do' applications nowadays is that they are geared either towards business use or designed purely for personal stuff. There's not that much around that covers all of your day-to-day activities. The other problem is that they are often packed with way too many features that you'll never use and are altogether too complicated.

Along with Go and Chess, Backgammon is reckoned to be one of the oldest games in existence. It was originally thought to have been played about 5,000 years ago and seems to have originated in what today we call Iraq - though it was then known as Mesopotamia. Equally, real-time online backgammon play was just as quick off the mark with the first internet backgammon server coming online being established in 1992. However, the online game has come a long way since those days. BackgammonAce is an exciting, fast and free game application for iOS and Android that turns the ... Read more
Big business has whole departments to follow up on any business leads in order to take them to fruition. They run vast CRM's that are overflowing with features and make sure that they do everything in their power to nurture even the merest hint of a lead and turn it into a business opportunity.

Nectar is an easy-to-use and very manageable lead tracking solution that is designed for those ... Read more
It has always left me totally flummoxed that it costs such a lot to produce true legal documents. Wills are probably the most perplexing.

The introduction of the computer systems has been such a boon to business over the last twenty years or so that it's impossible to envisage life without them. But with them comes other problems - especially now that every man and his dog seems to belong to some form of social network. There is always the temptation for them to log into their Facebook or Twitter account, play online games or, God forbid, watch porn sites and waste the time that you are paying them for. So, how can you monitor what they are doing behind their computer screens and ... Read more
If you are lucky enough to have all your software development team in the one place you are probably in the minority these days. You will find that many will collaborate on projects with other developers that can be based anywhere else in the world. The problem arises for management teams when they are looking for development transparency on work done. Devizan is a cloud-based, software development application that will help when you need to check a project's state (at any point in its history,) changes made during development, maintenance phases or its documentation.

Mixing begins in February. A release date for "An Army Without Music: Civil War Stories from Hallowed Ground" will be announced soon.

There aren't too many AD's in major college athletics that are 75 years old, then again not too many AD's in this country have been National Championship football coaches, members of congress, and been around their universities for most of the last 40 years or so. Earlier today Tom Osborne announced his retirement from the role of athletics director, effective on Jan. 1, 2013.
As for why now? Perception became reality according to Osborne, who began his love affair with Nebraska athletics when he became a graduate assistant in 1962.
"At some point, whether you're able to function or not, the perception that you are getting old can get in the way," said Osborne.
Tom Osborne is all that was described earlier and so much more. His legacy takes more than just this article to name, but he's won 3 National Championships (1994, 1995, 1997) for Nebraska football and oversaw one of the biggest sea changes in college athletics as the Huskers left the Big 12, a conference they helped to form, for the Big Ten. That move alone has had ramifications felt by nearly every fan of every team in college football today.
He's overseen huge facilities improvements and made the athletic department as a whole one of the most respected programs in the country. They are solid in nearly ever single sport they compete in and they have one of the biggest and best financial backings in the country.
Tom Osborne is simply a legend in his time, but for more on his retirement check out our sister site Delany's Dozen and their coverage. They will have much more on his life, legacy and where Nebraska goes from here throughout the day.

NFL reviews Aqib Talib's tiff with ref
Updated: November 29, 2010, 9:47 PM ETAssociated Press
TAMPA, Fla. -- The NFL is looking into a verbal confrontation between Tampa Bay cornerback Aqib Talib and an official who worked the Buccaneers' game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Bucs coach Raheem Morris defended the player on Monday, saying Talib did not do anything wrong during a heated exchange outside the team's locker room following Sunday's 17-10 loss in Baltimore. Talib was upset about a teammate being penalized for pass interference in the closing minutes of the first half.

I'm an outgoing, quick-witted girl who is super blunt and sarcastic (and been told many many times that I'm feisty and funny), looking to meet a fun, but loyal guy whose ultimate goal is a monogamous relationship (not dating a bunch of girls while dating me for awhile). I'm apprehensive about this whole online dating thing, but I am not into going to bars to meet drunk, and sleezy, immature guys...not my thing. if you plan on sending me an email asking for a booty call...don't waste your time...I'm not the girl for you... I'd love to meet a guy who is funny and can make me laugh. Affectionate and romantic. Likes to surprise me with small things or gestures, even if it's post it notes around the house, lol. A guy who Likes to cook, and will cook together with me, because I generally don't (i'm obsessed with restaurants, my panini press, or my vitamix blender!). A guy who is educated, intelligent, and enjoys traveling is definitely a Good fit for me! I am not looking for anyone overly religious. You must have NO KIDS and be a Non-Smoker!!! Of any kind. If you have more than like 2-3 small tattoos, please don't msg me.... it'll never work (i'm not attracted to tattoo'ed sleeves. I also don't like super hairy/super skinny (no biceps), or bad teeth. we all have our things, right? I'm certainly a night owl, not a morning person, but I'm NOT looking for a guy who still parties and drinks like he thinks he's still in college. Nor a guy who sleeps around like he's in college.... This might sound superficial, but please be AT LEAST 5'11" or 6 feet tall/taller (so I can wear heels IF/when I feel like it, &I won't feel unattractive & won't be over towering ;) I'd love it if you're an honest and trustworthy/loyal person...and it'd be great if you're as close to your family as I am to mine! I like a guy who doesn't mind going shopping with the girl you're dating, even if it's for girl stuff/clothes,etc. without getting impatient while I look around or try things on haha P.s. you must like cats b/c I have two, and they're awesome! They really think they're more like dogs though, haha. A little about me: I love music.. Mostly hip hop/rb/top 40 & love singing & dancing to those too.. I'm also good at doing both. Got singing scholarships going into college, & I have won dance contests, even won one in Jamaica... where I was the only white competitor. I love Usher, beyonce, busta rhymes, lil jon... To name a few. I love animals, riding my beachcruiser at the beach, shopping, watching movies, going out to eat with friends ( favorite foods= pizza, burritos!

For fun and to help myself get back into shape n tone up, I love doing Reformer machine/springboard Pilates...

Poet seeks Muse
Even though I cannot stand on my own two feet without tripping, that does not prevent me from trying to dance. In fact I even take Zumba classes. Granted my fellow Zumba-ees have learned to give me some dancing room… You know for safety reasons. I am not only a feared dancer, but I am also a pioneer of gender equality… I was the first male human being at my rec center, to sign up for what was once known as bikini bootcamp. I felt like Susan B. Anthony or Elizabeth Cady Stanton the day I walked into the place and demanded I be let into the class… Ok, I didn't demand anything, I simply asked politely and then paid the people at the counter despite the weird looks I was getting. But I am proud to say because of that now legendary day, and my courage, the class has been renamed to the body bootcamp. I am however still waiting to appear in history textbooks… Perhaps not enough time has passed yet… I just got back from a trip to Italy. I visited both Sardinia and Rome. It was amazing. Rome is one for those places of a lifetime. Words and even pictures cannot do justice to seeing the Eternal City with your own eyes. I have always been fascinated by Rome and its history, and walking through the Vatican, and seeing the spot of Caesar's funeral pyre, and touching the Pantheon with my own hands were a dream come true for me. Seeing the world and experiencing new places and meeting new people are what I live for. Life should be an adventure, it is meant to be lived and experienced firsthand, and not just watched from afar. Teaching is also very important to me. I love working with kids, and helping them to learn and become good people. I work with many disadvantaged kids, and I try and share with them my own experiences, life lessons, and adventures in an attempt to help them strive to live the lives that they want to, to try hard to learn and set goals for themselves. My match is a girl that would want to take part in my adventures with me. She would like to travel and see the world with me. She would like to go to game nights at friends' houses with me. Education and learning new things would be important to her. She would like helping others and be willing to spend some of her own time helping to make this world a better place. And finally she'd be more than willing to try out some of my crazier ideas like taking Zumba classes or opening up bikini bootcamps for all genders to enjoy…

I live to travel and explore new places. Going to restaurants, going hiking, taking long drives to random destinations, and anywhere else that looks interesting to me. Book and toy stores are fun places to get lost in...
Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, OH
Travel; seeing the world is like breathing to me... Comedies, animated, sci-fi and action movies are my favorites. On TV my favorite is Futurama. I love going to restaurants with friends, the theater, and reading all kinds of books...
Watching movies... I even get excited when a new one comes out that I am looking forward to seeing. I love going to museums. Reading is a passion of mine, and the rec center is my second home. Finally I never pass up a good board game with friends.
Working my way through A Song of Ice anf Fire... I resisted for a long time, but then HBO had to make a series out of it. (Game of Thrones) I also recently finished Lavinia by LeGuin, and reread Julius Caesar by Shakespeare.

Carefully crafted using traditional methods, Herradura is produced and estate bottled in the heart of Mexico's tequila region, using locally grown, high quality 100% blue agave. Aged for 11 months in virgin american white oak barrels to give a light golden colour with vanilla and cinnamon notes on the finish.
Tequila Herradura was founded in 1870 by Feliciano Romo, who established the location of the estate in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains – where Feliciano stumbled across a ray of light shimmering from a horseshoe on the ground – he sought to establish his dream based on this fortuitous find and named the brand Herradura, Spanish for 'Horseshoe'.
Located and produced in the tiny town of Amatitán, in the heart of tequila region, near Tequila Mountain, about 40 minutes from Guadalajara. Herradura Tequila is made from the finest blue agave, with an unrivalled patience and meticulous care. 100% blue agave, all- natural, estate grown and estate bottled.
Reposado, means "rested". This distinctive tasting reposado has unique flavours of vanilla, dried fruit and cooked agave. Aged for 11 months (9 more than the category standards) which gives this tequila its deep colour. A full, thick and silky body. Aroma: baked agave, clear cinnamon and vanilla notes and definitely wood smooth feel, floral aroma, and creamy oak finish. Taste: confirms cooked agave and balanced wood, vanilla and cinnamon notes.
Hacienda fizz (long serve): 50ml Herradura Reposado, 20ml lemon juice, 15ml orgeat, 20ml egg white. Top with soda, shake & strain and serve in a hi-ball with cubed ice. No garnish. The Herradura Spritz is light, refreshing and very simple: 20ml Herradura Plata, 5 mint leaves, 50ml White Wine, top with Grapefruit Soda. Or try a Chocolate & Chilli Old Fashioned with 50ml Herradura Reposado, 2 dashes chocolate bitters, 2 dashes jalapeño shrub bitters, build & stir. Serve in a rocks glass over cubed ice.

PAUL GIGOT: Welcome to the Journal Editorial Report. The big
story this week is what may be coming next week. We vote on Tuesday but we
may not know the result for days or weeks. Consider this, the polls say
the election is too close to call. Provisional ballots may be cast by
millions of voters whose eligibility is questioned at the polls. The
states expect an unprecedented number of absentee, military, and overseas
ballots. both parties have assembled thousands of lawyers to challenge the
ballot counts, especially in critical swing states. No wonder we get this
quote from Doug Lewis of Election Center which helps advise Election
officials: "We're all on our knees. Dear Lord, let the winner win
big -- whoever it is."
With me to discuss all this are John Fund, our expert on voting and voter
fraud and author of the book Stealing Elections; How Voter Fraud Threatens our
Democracy, Dan Henninger, Deputy Editor of the Wall Street Journal Editorial
Page and Susan Lee also of the Editorial Page.
John, 10,000 lawyers on either side are we really looking at another Florida
rid large this time from 2000?
JOHN FUND: Paul, that many lawyers represent weapons of mass
destruction against our democracy. I mean they can take a medium sized
country and turn it into rubble overnight.
Obviously some election lawsuits are good because you have
irregularities. But with that many lawyers they're going to be looking for
trouble and litigating I think ludicrous things and turning Election Day into
�election month� if the states are close.
PAUL GIGOT: Well, last time it was hanging chads. What are we
likely to look at this year that will be litigated over? For example,
there's this phenomenon called provisional ballots. What are they?
JOHN FUND: If you go to a polling place and your name is not on the
voter registration rolls you have a right to cast a provisional ballot.
This is the first federal mandate requiring this in all 50 states. Then
your ballot is separated out, put aside and it's counted after all the other
ballots are counted.
Here's the problem, let's say Bush is ahead 5,000 votes in
Pennsylvania. The whole presidency weighs on what Pennsylvania does.
Both sides will know how many of the provisional ballots that are still to be
counted, let's say there are 80,000, they need. Each of those provisional
ballots becomes a lawsuit. Each of those provisional ballots will have to
be investigated individually.
In Colorado where one race was decided in provisional ballots Paul, it took
35 days to count them all.
PAUL GIGOT: What states are these likely to be highly contested?
Because I know in Ohio for example there was a dispute about whether you'd be
able to cast provisional ballots outside of the precinct in which you allegedly
reside. Is Ohio going to be a crucial state here?
JOHN FUND: Yes, in addition Ohio has punch card voting.
PAUL GIGOT: Ah, the hanging chads from Florida.
JOHN FUND: They'll be back. Ohio was going to go to electronic
machines and then the internet conspiracy theorists discredited them so now
they're back to punch cards. So we're going to have the people looking
through the light again.
PAUL GIGOT: Now another issue are absentee ballots which hare a lot
more widespread than even four years ago. By some reckoning they're going
to be something like 30 percent of all balance cast absentee or early. How
big a potential problem is this?
JOHN FUND: Well, two problems; one they take an awful lot longer to
count. If you have 30 percent early or absentee voting it could take days
to count them all if the election is close and get a winner. In addition,
absentee voting is much more prone to fraud. It's a paper ballot.
It's cast outside the jurisdiction of election officials and there have been
lots of examples of nursing homes for example having absentee ballot fraud.
A former congressman from Pennsylvania pled guilty to nursing home voter
fraud recently.
PAUL GIGOT: How did we get to this situation? Because I thought
we were supposed to have solved this Dan, with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA)
of 2002. I mean both sides said that this was going to solve the problem
or at least go a long way to it. What's going on here?
DAN HENNINGER: Well the Help America Vote Act is an outgrowth of what
happened in Florida in 2000. And Florida was the thing that allowed the
lawyers inside the door. I mean what John is describing to us here is
obviously a formula for not knowing who the president is Tuesday night or even
Wednesday morning. And what we found out in Florida was as soon as there's
delay of that sort the lawyers start filing lawsuits.
And I've talked to some experts on this and I said well is there an efficient
legal way of shutting this process down? Is there any silver bullet?
And he said absolutely not. Once this starts it's a ...
PAUL GIGOT: A doomsday machine.
DAN HENNINGER: It's a doomsday machine.
PAUL GIGOT: Susan, can it be stopped or are we headed to the Supreme
Court once again?
SUSAN LEE: Oh, I can tell you how we got here. There is an
enormous incentive to litigate and to litigate aggressively. There are a
few studies. One university, Columbia I think, law professor found that
aggressive litigation can change the result by one percentage point. Now
given that in general in all elections the error rate is one to two percent,
when lawyers start looking they'll find something. And the more they find
the more possible it is to actually change the results.
PAUL GIGOT: So the lawyers are going to be in. But there's a
question here about just how far up the judicial chain of command we go, is it
not? Because these are state laws. All of these are state statutes
so ultimately you'll get into the state court system and the state Supreme Court
will have final say. The question is, is the U.S. Supreme Court going to
again become the final arbiter of this knowing all of the grief that the
justices took for what happened in 2000?
DAN HENNINGER: Well, there will also be a parallel set of lawsuits in
Federal Court. People will sue in every court possible. That's what
happened in Florida. The U.S. Supreme Court is going to try to keep their
hands off of this as long as possible and I think they'd probably say lets go to
the House of Representatives because our integrity was impugned so much last
time we don't want to go there again.
PAUL GIGOT: There have been some intimations from Stephen Breyer and
justice Rehnquist, Chief Justice recently, that they don't really want to go
through that again because it does involve the Supreme Court in electoral
politics, partisan politics and there's a price to be paid for that.
DAN HENNINGER: Well, I think if they're forced to take it up they will
take it up. I think that this time, unlike Florida in 2000, the involved
courts are going to try to take this issue as seriously as they can because we
have the threat here of the United States turning into a banana republic.
And the last time it was all so quick. Remember that we were watching
the televisions from hour to hour to see what the courts did? They've had
four years to think about this now and I think they're going to try to take it
seriously this time.
PAUL GIGOT: Alright, let's broaden this discussion out a bit and think
about why this election, all the polls show it's close, but why Susan is it so
close and so bitterly fought?
SUSAN LEE: Well, I think a more interesting question it was exactly
this divided four years ago. Now it's as close four years later. Of
course some groups have switched sides. You know it's soccer moms and now
we have security moms. What I want to know is, and I don't really have a
good answer I've been thinking about it, is why for four years this country in
the face of tremendous amount of events, big, huge serious events and crises is
still so down the middle. I don't know.
JOHN FUND: Well, culturally we have this big gap between people with
more traditional values and people who have a more secular outlook. And
that's largely reflected now because the parties are dividing along those lines
roughly. We no longer have regional differences in the parties, it's now
cultural differences.
But the other reason why things are so close is because the country is so
bitterly divided also on the direction of government. Whether it should be
larger or smaller. That's about a 50/50 question.
DAN HENNINGER: Yeah, and I would pick up John's
point. I think the country is really going through this transformational
period. And a lot of it has to do with the realization that we really do
live in a competitive global economy now and that puts pressure on jobs, it puts
pressure on costs. And George Bush has been proposing things like Social
Security privatization and health savings accounts that put responsibility back
more on the individual as opposed to the entire post-war period where the
government had this kind of paternalistic attitude towards society.
And I think there are a lot of people who are a little bit nervous about
moving forward into a globally competitive era.
PAUL GIGOT: You had a democratic majority dominating the White House or
the Congress for two or three decades for the most part here and then for the
last 40 years, starting really with Goldwater, an ascendancy with Reagan and
then another blimp up with Gingrich and now with Bush and the republican
Congress a chance for the republicans to have total control of the government
White House and Congress for a new four years and those are very high
JOHN FUND: Well, that's why I think the democrats in part of both angry
and desperate. They're angry because of what they felt that 2000 was all
about and they're also desperate because if they lose another presidential
election and still lose Congress they may lose the policy war and actually see
policies change.
PAUL GIGOT: Alright John, last word. Thank you very much.

BE 2012 Scan of Tape Drives not working
I scan my tape drives with BE 2012 SP1a but it does not recognize new tapes. I must restort to restarting BE service in order for new tapes to show up. One result of this is BE2012 will incorrectly report which tape a job was written to.
Comments 11 Comments • Jump to latest comment
What kind of tape device are you using, and is it listed in the HCL of BE 2012 ?
If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
fowljewl -
We are beginning some investigation of which tapes are being used for backups as we have seen some confusion in our records.
We are finding interesting information on our system regarding which of the Identifiers for Tape Media are actually being used and displayed by BE2012. We are using a 2-drive Dell TL2000 with 2-LT05 drives.
Within BE2012, we see at least the following related to each tape cartridge:
Media Label
Media Description
Media ID
Media GUID
Media Used
When a cartridge is loaded into a drive, the Storage tab shows "Tape Drive 0001 (some label)" - what is that number?
And, on the cartridges themselves we have the barcode label.
Before today we have never manually changed a media label, but yesterday we had 2 tapes in our slots with the same Media Label 000036L5 but with different Media ID (Media GUID).
I'm looking for some acknowledgement of how the 6 different "Names" for a single tape cartridge relates to actually what resides on a particular cartridge according to BE2012 records.. If I'm looking in BE2012 to restore something (and it is not loaded) which number would be used to identify the cartridge that I would need to load?
Eject entire tape cartridge
Insert all tapes
Insert entire tape cartridge
Right-click the Robotic library 0001
Click scan
Also try clicking scan on each individual tape slot
Does not detect any of the new tapes or tapes and still shows tapes that are no longer in the system.
I then restart all services but do not select to Enable the deduplication services to be started or stopped.
It still does not read the tapes correctly.
I have even reinstalled SP1a, rebooted the server but it does does not recognize new tapes.
I'm having a scanning issue as well.
When I put tapes in the library and then do a scan they dont show up and the scan does not seem to run.
For example, if prompted for a library insert to finish a job I put a tape in the partion of the library that needs it and try and scan but I cannot get it to show up in the slots so the job can continue.
If I cancel the job it then shows up almost immediately which seems to mean that the job or the alert is stopping the scan working.
Another thing to add is that this issues only seems to happen when an alert is there.
If a job is running normally you can run the scan job and it works but when there is an "insert overwritable media" alert present it will not run on any partition.
Any ideas?
Are you trying to run a Scan job while other jobs are running? If so, the Scan job is probably sitting queued and isn't actually running yet. This is different in BE 2012 than in previous versions. In BE 2012, the Scan is an actual job. Previously it was something magical that happened in the background immediately upon request.
Does the job log for the scan job show the correct media in the slots?
If you find this is a solution for the thread, please mark it as such.
Thanks for the reply Larry.
There are jobs running but this wasn't an issue with BE2010, as you say, and the scan job just ran and once you responded to the alert the job carried on.
If in 2012 it's a job in the queue, how do you insert new media into the library and scan it, if the job needing it is essentially stopping the scan running? Do we have to wait until a drive becomes available to do the scan? That would mean that the drive could be tied up for hours doing nothing,waiting for the other drive to become free to do the scan. That doesn't seem right to me.
As far as the scanning goes the right media is reported once the job runs so that's not really an issue.
FYI we have a HP MSL 4048 with 3 partitions with two LTO4 drives
Thanks Larry, it does work but surely the same process in 2010 should have worked in the next version ?
Anyhow, I'll move on to the next issue with 2012 now I have a workaround for this one.
It is bizarre that we are working with a lot of workarounds with this new version. They should almost have just renamed the product and relaunched it as something else as some things just dont work the same way they did before. In an upgrade it is not unreasonable to expect something as basic as this to do the same thing in the same way in both versions.
Anyhow, thanks again :)
Symantec are officially researching an issue with the scan job not running if other activities are accessing the tape drives.

The Anaheim Ducks have claimed left wing Niklas Hagman off waivers from the Calgary Flames. The Ducks sent rookie Peter Holland back to the minors Monday to make room for Hagman. The 31-year-old Hagman has played 707 NHL games for four clubs over the past decade, including three years with the Dallas Stars. He had four points in eight games with Calgary this season. Hagman scored 20 goals in three consecutive seasons from 2007-10 with Dallas and Toronto. He also has appeared in three Olympics for Finland. The Ducks hope Hagman can help an offense ranked last in the NHL in scoring despite the presence of MVP Corey Perry, captain Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne. Holland appeared in four games with the Ducks, scoring his first NHL goal.

Pictet Sees Yuan Gain After Biggest Drop Since '08: China Credit
Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Pictet & Cie and Clariden Leu AG, two private Swiss banks, are speculating China will let the yuan strengthen as President Hu Jintao visits the U.S. next week.
The currency gained 0.44 percent in two days to 6.6086 per dollar after sliding 0.58 percent last week, its biggest drop since December 2008. Pressure is building for further appreciation as two-year swaps that exchange the savings rate for a fixed payment climbed 80 basis points, or 0.8 percentage point, to 3.28 percent since the central bank raised the one-year deposit rate on Oct. 19, signaling the government needs to raise rates further to curb inflation.
Clariden Leu bought options in December, while Pictet Asset Management increased its bet on yuan appreciation last week before the Jan. 19 meeting in Washington of Hu and President Barack Obama. Lawmakers in the world's largest economy are considering legislation to penalize China for holding down the yuan and worsening a trade imbalance.
"I am bullish on the yuan," said Thomas Rutz, the head of emerging markets and currency in Zurich at Clariden Leu, which manages about $1.3 billion of developing-nation assets. "We will live the next 10 to 20 years with continued appreciation as China opens its markets to the outside world."
Rutz says options are "now cheap" and predicts the yuan will reach 6 per dollar this year.
The premium charged for the right to buy yuan in three months over contracts to sell, known as the 25-delta risk reversal rate, is down to 0.2 percentage point from a record high of 2.5 points on March 12. The yuan, which has appreciated 3.1 percent since a two-year peg was scrapped in June, fell last week as data showing a recovery in the U.S. economy and a deepening debt crisis in Europe fueled a rally in the greenback.
Forward Bets
Non-deliverable forwards show traders are betting on a 2.6 percent gain in the yuan in the coming 12 months, less than the 4.7 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 21 strategists. The outlook compares with a 0.6 percent drop predicted for Brazil's real by year-end, a 0.3 percent gain for Russia's ruble and a 3.6 percent advance for India's rupee.
"With the visit of Hu to the U.S., some form of consensus may be reached on the global rebalancing issue," said Wee-Ming Ting, the head of Asian fixed income in Singapore at Pictet Asset, part of Switzerland's largest privately held bank for the wealthy that oversees $17 billion of emerging-market debt. "This should be positive for the yuan. However, the pace of appreciation would be dependent on Chinese policy makers' decision and maybe a small part on the euro."
The yuan rose 7.3 percent versus the euro in the past three months to 8.5838 and climbed 1.5 percent in that period against a basket of currencies, according to an index compiled by Westpac Banking Corp. It has declined 2.3 percent against the basket since the dollar peg ended on June 21.
'Room to Appreciate'
"China has managed the currency in such a way that it has depreciated versus the basket, which gives it room to appreciate," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, an economist at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong. He predicts the yuan will rise 4.9 percent to 6.3 per dollar by Dec. 31, even as the greenback rallies to $1.25 per euro.
Three-month implied volatility on the yuan, a measure of expected exchange-rate swings used to price options, fell to 3.55 percent, after reaching 5.3 percent on Oct. 8, the highest since February 2009.
China posted a $13.1 billion trade surplus for December, the smallest in eight months, according to customs data published on Jan. 10. Exports rose 17.9 percent, while imports climbed 25.6 percent. The country had a surplus of $14 billion with the U.S. and $12 billion with the European Union.
Weak Euro
"Europe is still China's largest trading partner so it is difficult for China to let the yuan appreciate in a weak euro environment," said Philip Wee, a Singapore-based economist at DBS Group Holdings Ltd. Even so, he predicts a 3.9 percent gain to 6.37 by year-end.
China will increase currency flexibility this year to cut the trade surplus and reduce inflationary pressure, central bank Deputy Governor Yi Gang wrote in a commentary published in the official China Forex magazine yesterday. In November, consumer prices rose 5.1 percent from a year earlier, the most in 28 months, government data show. Foreign-exchange reserves climbed by a record $199 billion to $2.85 trillion last quarter, central bank data showed yesterday.
"The yuan does tend to strengthen ahead of major international events and we think the next U.S.-China meeting is no different," said Ashley Davies, Singapore-based chief economist for Asia at Commerzbank AG, Germany's second-biggest bank. "The broader theme in China is still rising inflation pressure."
Inflation Battle
Davies forecasts the yuan will gain to 6.32 per dollar and expects "more momentum" in 2012 as the central bank tries to curb price pressure. Governor Zhou Xiaochuan raised banks' reserve-requirement ratio six times last year and boosted deposit rates twice.
The reserves data indicate a "huge surge" in hot money inflows that may complicate efforts to control the supply of cash, according to Kowalczyk. The seven-day repurchase rate, which measures interbank funding availability, averaged 2.75 percent in the fourth quarter, the highest level since the third quarter of 2008. The rate plunged to 2.49 percent from 6.34 percent on Dec. 31, as a year-end financing crunch eased.
The extra yield investors demand to hold the debt rather than similar maturity U.S. Treasuries has dropped to 53 basis points from 101 on Dec. 1.
European Debt
The one-year interest-rate swap, the fixed cost needed to receive the floating seven-day repo rate, dropped 2 basis points to 3.17 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It has climbed from last year's low of 1.97 percent on Aug. 12.
The cost of insuring the government's dollar debt for five years fell 3 basis points yesterday to 77, up from a 2 1/2-year low of 52 on Oct. 13, according to CMA prices in London. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent if the government fails to adhere to debt agreements.
Wee at DBS says that China will try to slow euro declines with "supportive rhetoric." Vice Premier Li Keqiang pledged on Jan. 3 more purchases of Spanish debt in an in El Pais newspaper editorial before visiting Madrid.
"China doesn't want the euro to be too weak because Europe is a very important market," said Kowalczyk. "They are happy to help Europe and to flex their muscles by suggesting they can use their reserves by buying euro-denominated debt."
