UIU and Fareway agree to CAP partnership
Upper Iowa University announces June and August graduatesview all news ›
UIU earns national marketing award for TV ad, also nets 3 regional marketing honors
FAYETTE, Iowa (February 25, 2011) — Upper Iowa University has been notified that it has received four communications awards – three for a television ad that aired Summer 2010 and one for its website.
The television ad, which also aired in regional movie theaters over the summer was entitled, "Blockbuster," and focused on the first phase of a $75 million capital improvement that is under way on UIU's Fayette campus, promoting the grand opening of two of the buildings over Homecoming Weekend 2010. The award-winning ad can be viewed to the right.
The UIU ad received a "gold" recognition in the 26th Annual Educational Advertising Awards, a national competition conducted by the Higher Education Marketing Report and the HMR Publications Group. The Educational Advertising Awards is the largest educational advertising awards competition in the country. This year, more than 2,500 entries were received from more than 1,000 colleges, universities and secondary schools from all 50 states and several foreign countries. Only 214 gold awards were given. UIU's ad won in the "Television Advertising/Single" category, Group 3 (schools with 5,000-9,999 students).
"UIU is in the midst of historic growth and significant change," said UIU President Alan G. Walker. "We are an ascending university that has seen six consecutive years of increased enrollment and expansion of our online and community-based educational centers. We have a great story to tell, and we are pleased to be recognized for some of the ways we are telling it."
"In producing this ad, we were looking for a way to tie together the president's vision for the future of Upper Iowa University with the excitement of a project that is changing the face of our residential campus and that reflects the growth and energy across the entire University – all in just 30 seconds," said Melik Peter Khoury, UIU senior vice president. "The final ad gives the feeling of a movie preview, which is why we decided to show the ad on the big screens in regional movie theaters as well."
The ad was produced in collaboration with ME&V, Cedar Falls, Iowa.
The UIU "Blockbuster" ad also received two regional awards: a silver award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District VI in the "Television Ad" category, and a silver ADDY award from the American Advertising Federation Cedar Valley Chapter in the category of "National TV, Consumer Services." The ADDYS are the advertising industry's largest competition, attracting more than 50,000 entries a year. Winning a local ADDY is the first step in a three-tiered, national competition. Local winners will now compete against other winners at the district level, and district winners will compete nationally.
UIU also received a "bronze" award for its website (www.uiu.edu) in the 26th Annual Educational Advertising Awards in Group 3 of the "Website" category. UIU's partner in designing the university's website is Stamats in Cedar Rapids.

Pretty silvery orange brass color. Aromas of yeasty fruit custard pastry and delicate spice with a dry-yet-fruity, light-to-medium body and a honeyed kiwi, spiced nut and melon finish with jazzy acidity and nice earthiness. Quite tasty, balanced, and an appetizing choice for the table. (tasted on Sep-16-2013)

Toshiba slim HD DVD player, DVD writer drive appears
updated 04:55 pm EDT, Wed March 14, 2007
Toshiba Slim HD DVD Drive
Toshiba has quietly begun shipping its first travel HD DVD drive, the PA3530U-1HD1. Its thin profile suits it to being carried alongside a notebook for watching HD movies and as an external second drive for most any USB 2.0-equipped system. While read-only for its native format, the drive also burns DVD-R and -RW discs at 4X and CDs as quickly as 16X for write-once CDs. Dual-layer DVDs and CD-RW discs are also writeable.
The Japanese firm's latest drive currently needs both a modern PC and a nearby power source, and ships from NewEgg today for $370. [via Everything USB]

bubble memorybubble memory
a solid-state computer memory device that stores bits of data by means of microscopic magnetized areas (magnetic bubbles) in sheets of a semiconductor
Origin of bubble memoryfrom the appearance of these areas under a microscope
bubble memory
Magnetic bubble memory.
(plural bubble memories)
- (computing) A type of non-volatile computer memory that uses a thin film of magnetic material to hold small magnetized areas, known as bubbles or domains, each storing one bit of data.
bubble memory - Computer Definition
A solid state semiconductor and magnetic storage device suited for rugged applications. It is about as fast as a slow hard disk and holds its content without power. It is conceptually a stationary disk with spinning bits. The unit, only a couple of square inches in size, contains a thin film magnetic recording layer. Globular-shaped bubbles (bits) are electromagnetically generated in circular strings inside this layer. In order to read or write the bubbles, they are rotated past the equivalent of a read/write head.


text: Thank you for following up on the order. I was so pleased with the flowers!! They arrived two days before the wedding as I had requested and it was fun putting the bouquets together as one of our last tasks to do the day before the wedding. The dark purple calla lillies were exactly what I was looking for to make up my bridal bouquet - they were simply stunning! And the white calla lillies for the bridesmaids worked perfectly against the purple dresses. We received many compliments on the day, and in fact I didn't want to throw away my bouquet! Couldn't fault anything, the flowers arrived on time and in great condition, and the website was very easy to use. Very happy with the overall service - thanks again!! Here are some pictures:)

York Catholic scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning to earn a dramatic 7-6 victory over visiting Hanover on Tuesday afternoon.
Clint Bohn (three hits, triple, double, one RBI, one run scored), Matt McKim (two hits, two RBIs), Jake Krevetski (two hits, one RBI, one run scored) and Erich Hartman (two hits, triple, one run scored) led York Catholic's 12-hit attack. Bohn also got the win in relief, pitching a scoreless top of the seventh.
Zac Sheaffer (two hits, double, three RBIs, one run scored), Nick Trish (two hits, one RBI, one run scored) and Jared Peterman (one hit, two RBIs) led Hanover's offense. Sheaffer also pitched a complete game.
EASTERN YORK 16, BIGLERVILLE 1: At Biglerville, the Golden Knights rolled behind a 14-hit attack. Michael Dunn and Quentin Enders combined on a four-hitter in a game that was ended after six innings because of the mercy rule. They combined for five strikeouts and zero walks. Dunn also finished with three hits, including a double, and three RBIs. Enders also doubled. Terry Godfrey (three hits), Dalton Renn (double, three runs, two RBIs), Colby Shimmel (two hits, two RBIs), Thomas Taylor (double, two RBIs) and Clayton Miller (three runs, three stolen bases) also excelled offensively for Eastern.

In contemporary genre-splash Indiewood, the task is often simple but bedevilling: You have an HD camera and a modest house in the L.A. hills; now what do you do? Shane Carruth, among others, has proven that you don't need much more -- just add ideas. Call it Home-Based Sci-Fi, from 2006's Right at Your Door to 2012's It's a Disaster, movies that evoke apocalypse but never actually leave the dining room. Launching into a torrent of unmitigated exposition over wine glasses, Coherence is the paradigm eating itself.
First-timer James Ward Byrkit keeps things generic: Anxious blonde Em (Emily Foxler) arrives at the dinner party ahead of her boyfriend, Kevin (Maury Sterling), who is waiting for an answer to the Big Question. There are the hosts (Nicholas Brendon and Lorene Scafaria), Kevin's provocateur ex-girlfriend (Lauren Maher), and a slightly older New Age diva (ex-Miss America Elizabeth Gracen). The trigger is the news of a comet passing overhead, and an ominously dished tale about one that passed over Finland in 1923 and reportedly skewed people's identities. Before long, the smart phones crack, the power goes out, and an intrepid cohort decide to visit a strangely familiar house up the street, from which they return the same but not quite.
Is it a spoiler to let on that the doppelganger-isms start showing up one-third of the way in? From there, the reveals are all Byrkit has in the bank, so suffice it to say that reality goes all quantum, even though everything appears normal. With its enigmas revealed in dialogue alone, Coherence could be a radio play, and thankfully so, since the handheld, lo-fi digital visuals are so taxing.

Rally Time Items to Watch
by Barry Ritholtz - August 21st, 2009, 12:25pm
A few things to note about this rally:
• The volume is absurdly light– even for August;
•Today is an expiration day, with the bias to the upside;
• Professionals are fully invested; Individuals are mostly under-invested;
• Markets are now 53% up from the March lows;
Yesterday, I did an interview with Yahoo Tech Ticker going over why I thought this is now a dangerous rally — but one that can continue for some time. (Video Here)

It's a rare day off from lecture writing for me, but I'm sorry to say I didn't catch this move. I was expecting another triple digit down day earlier this week so I could spend my 2009 IRA contribution, but this market just won't let me in. =(
Onlooker from Troy says:
Indeed. You'd have been in much better shape having an "ignorance is bliss" perspective and existence over the last few months. The key is when to wake up from that reverie. I had no idea the psychology of this market (world?) was so broken. Or maybe it is all that liquidity dynamic that I just don't fully understand (and few do, I believe).
leftback says:
"I was expecting another triple digit down day earlier this week so I could spend my 2009 IRA contribution"
5- and 10-year Treasuries are on sale today, franky boy. We are getting closer to a Wile E Coyote moment.

Did I mention "ignorance is bliss?" Exhibit A :)
franklin411 says:
In blocks of less than $10000? ;-)
Mannwich says:
@Onlooker: The liquidity dynamic is only part of the story. The other part is that everyone is feverishly trying to recoup all or some of their losses from last year. Panic buying and greed still running the show. It's all part of the new bubble economy.

Hey look mom, no fundamentals!
cvienne says:
@Andy T
So whadda ya say Andy?
I suppose the next stop is 1,044 (the high after the 10/10/08 meltdown, which, if I remember kotok himself described as the "capitulation low" point)…
1,044 is interesting…61.8 retrace back to 666 puts you on some interesting support down around 808…
1.618 (from 666 off of 1,044) takes you to 1,278 (which is where the waterfall started last September)…
cvienne says:
Hell…1044 is only 2% more from where we are…
We could easily print it on Monday!
Mannwich says:
Seems as if the market needle is a bit stuck today. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Wake me during the final hour when we get the final, regularly scheduled pump into the close.
leftback says:
Watch the dollar… made a HIGHER low. The USO made a LOWER high. That's technicals.
Think about sentiment for the dollar. Now think about the fundamentals for commodities.
3/3 tells me the turn is very very close now.

Joe Retail says:
It's been a long time since I trusted "professionals" but I'd like to understand how they're thinking: So why are the professionals fully invested? Do they think it's real? Are they window dressing to prove they didn't miss the rally? Other?
call me ahab says:
for all those betting on a $ resurgence-
UUP- seems to move very slow- from March to now- let's say about a $3 drop or so- so roughly %11
if there is a rebound in the $- where will be the big upside come from- assuming you don't to hold 6 months?
seems to me there would have to be better trade – no?
also- contrary indicator- everyone bashing the $ in the last few days-
the stock market is a collosal show @ the moment- always seems that when the schmo's think something is a lock- that's when the smart money heads for the exits
HCF says:
@ Joe Retail:
>Are they window dressing to prove they didn't miss the rally? Other?
The pros are trying to sell the rally to the individual investors before the car drives off the cliff =)
ben22 says:
Joe Retail,
it's called career risk. there is your answer. When you charge people to follow your advice you can't sit around and not do anything because you "know" the market "should" go down. Further, money managers of course are subject to herding. I think this is called: The Market.
i was using 77.43 on the dollar index as the line that could not be broken or it derails the bullish case for the dollar temporarily. Not sure what you were using, but we didn't go there, and have moved higher since. Re: sentiment, three prominent figures calling for major dollar problems, PIMPCO, Buffett, and Stiglitz, just this week. Add that to the Paulsen purchase of $3bil in the dollar on the long side and I agree that a turn in either direction is nearly here. As usual, I was several weeks early trying to make long dollar bets in various ways.
franklin411 says:
Thanks for the link. I looked into it, though, and there seems to be no provision for IRAs.
ben22 says:
if you were really a dollar bull, and trying to make a lot of money on the turn, then you shouldn't be in UUP, lol. Plenty of other ways to play that, remember, it's one big trade.
Winston Munn says:
I believe it was Barry who said that there are two parts to understand when investing: there is what is commonly believed to be true and then there is what is factual. (If wrongly stated, I apologize.)
What is being touted by the FCM (Fawning Corporate Media) is that the recession will soon end and we are on our way to an orgy of nursery-hothouse-green-shoots buying opportunities.
What is real is:
Continued unemployment at 9.4% with no job creation in sight.
Continued falling home prices.
Continued increases in mortgage deliquencies.
Continued tightening of consumer credit.
Continued lowered of consumer spending.
Massive public debt increases.
30% of all home mortgages under water
States in budget crises
And so on and so on….
The trick is determining when reality replaces illusion.
DeDude says:
Will those of you who think that market prices are correlated with fundamentals, please stand up and bend over – silly bears. Its all about fear and gread, and at your age you should know better ;-)
JohnDoe says:
Let us not forget that the single best year for stock returns was in 1933. A clear example of the disconnect between the stock market and the economy. I've had enough of these pundits using the recent stock market rally as a reason that the recession is over.

i know you can short commodities, index funds- but if you were looking for a clean non-leveraged trade that goes up when the $ goes up- UUP just doesn't seem to have much bang for the $

Pat G. says:
@ leftback
Not to belabor our conversation the other day re: deflation vs inflation. But I came across an article and thought of you immediately.
@ cvienne
The USD is a broken currency. It and Treasuries stay afloat due ONLY to risk aversion. Both show their true colors when markets are rallying. The only question is, will be an orderly decline or not?
@ f411
My opinion, best to stay away from both.
leftback says:
A rebound in the $ would be self-sustaining, as a fall in commodity prices would drive more buying of $ and JPY, and the resulting unwinding of $ and yen carry trades would reverse the rallies that have taken place in risk assets.
If you look at the increase in stocks and commodities for the drop in the dollar since the winter, you will see that the carry trade associated with the bear market rally is highly leveraged (~10), so reversal could be extremely steep.
Think about the dynamics of Red October™ and imagine a repeat of the following movements in capital markets. High yield bonds to Treasuries, AUD and CAD to USD, EUR to JPY … and shares of C and GS to the bonus pool.
Mannwich says:
FXP flat today. Interesting…..
Mannwich says:
@f411: You might want to look at TIPS if you think inflation will be a problem long term. I have some of our "retirement" money there and they seem to be doing fine. Just a thought.

Depends on the SIZE of your book…The dollar is a very liquid market, remember?
It has the capacity to accept the flows stampeding out of a tighter equity market.
cvienne says:
(Vis-a-vis dollar)…
I've already got the long dollar trade on…Losing $$ at the moment, but I'm not particularly frightened by it at the moment…I'm still accumulating…
I'm surprised the ZSL hasn't printed $7 yet again…If it does, I'm in there…
bubba says:
"Will those of you who think that market prices are correlated with fundamentals, please stand up and bend over – silly bears. Its all about fear and gread, and at your age you should know better"
no no silly goose. we all know it's dictated by the fibolaciously awesome divine ratio. :)
Pat G. says:
@ cvienne
Just curious. I believe that you've mentioned here before that you hold silver and gold. So why would you buy ZSL?
cvienne says:
@Pat G
I agree that the dollar is a broken currency…That is not my point…
Instead, I believe that there is too much money piled in to commodities (across the board), and too many "short dollar" positions…A CROWDED TRADE…
Similarly, the S&P was at 666 in March…everyone was bearish…but look at the rally that has ensued…Are the fundamentals any better? NO (possibly worse)…
So my case for the dollar trade has to do with THAT more than anything…
And FYI (in case you didn't know)…My dollar position (that I'm working on IS, IN FACT, A HEDGE)…I have 10x the amount allocated to gold bullion…Yet the last time I made a gold bullion purchase was 2004)…
So you have to understand things in perspective…
call me ahab says:
do you have any postions in TLT or other treasury funds?
hopeImwrong says:
cvienne – I would like to converse with you about farming. Could we correspond via email?
cvienne says:
@Pat G
My (1:54) comments juxtaposed your (1:52)…
Yes, I hold silver bullion as well…Again, this is a HEDGE for me…I own the bullion, I hedge the "paper" aspect of the trade…
Frankly, I think when the famous "hyperinflation" comes into effect (possibly 18 – 36 months in the future), the GLD & SLV will no longer exist, or be regulated in some weird way…
If & when "hyperinflation" occurs, the USG will find a way to confiscate those assets from people…
cvienne says:
Sure hope…The big thing is, I'm not a farmer by trade…I'm making this stuff up as I go along…But I have established a lot of insights on how regular people can make good for themselves with a modest investment, and a modest parcel of land…
You have to be as practical in farming as you do in anything else…
ben22 says:
Pat G Says:
"Both show their true colors when markets are rallying"
you've got it backwards I think, it's the strength or weakness in the dollar determining stock/commodity moves, not the other way around.
@DeDude and bubba,
I'm curious, what were you guys doing back in March with your capital? What were you doing in 2008? I don't ever remember either of you posting back then but could be wrong.
call me ahab says:
inconceivable – the USG would never seize someone's hard assets-
er . . .well . . .except for gold . . . er . . .also that whole Indian thing where they sezied their land . . .but outside of that . . .hmm
hopeImwrong says:
@cvienne – that's just the type of information I'm looking for. That's my situation. Try email@example.com and I will reply later this evening when I get home from work. This is a junk email alias. I'll respond with the real one.
Apologize to the group and BR for the off topic post.
cvienne says:
I've owned TLT call options twice this summer…
I bought "out of the money" calls in June and caught a double…I closed that position and "re-upped" in July…I caught a TRIPLE on the recent rally…I sold half that position, and am letting the rest ride…
I'm NOT suggesting buying options here…I probably got lucky…
ben22 says:
re: ZSL,
I had set up a trailing stop on that after rebuying and it's been sold as a result. I'll do the same trade over again and see if I can go three for three this time. Silver looks to be in a downtrend, and of course, this is another way to do the same as being long the dollar.
still steaming from the fibo thing? Get over it already.
cvienne says:
OK hope…I'll get back 2u…
leftback says:
@Pat G: We are actually in complete agreement about everything… except the timing and degree of the inflation.
@ahab: LB currently holds 5 and 10-year Treasuries as well as some 5-yr IG corporates, on the view that yields will decline into the end of 2009. Most of this position was acquired with 10-year yields close to 4%. This view is shared by David Rosenberg, Gary Shilling and Mish. LB held similar positions from July 2007 until November 2008. From time to time, LB hedges against this position by buying TBT. No gold, but LB does buy some TIPS here and there. LB owns a few modest longs in drug companies but otherwise no stocks or high yield bonds.
Thor says:
HopeImWrong – your last name is arguably more Italian sounding than mine! ;-)
ben22 says:
If I'm not mistaken, Rosenberg is looking for those yields to drop to the 2′s right? As Schilling said in response to someone that asked him "but you aren't getting any yield over the long term on govt bonds":
I'm not buying them for the yield.
cvienne says:
Re: FIBO
I know right?
I mean, I don't have a room full of candles and red painted walls with fibonacci sequences drawn all over it or anything…It's just a friggin guide (that has a high degree of accuracy)…
I don't sit here criticizing the way other people trade…I mean, you could toss blades of grass in the air for all I care…
Pat G. says:
@ cvienne
Thanks for clearing that up for me, now I understand. I guess I just trade differently. When I think that the investment choices that I've made, from my perspective, are theoretically correct than I don't see a need to hedge them or bet against them. If I discover that my theories were incorrect, then I just unload them. I guess you have more money than I do… :+} I don't expect hyperinflation to occur. But I think inflation will start in earnest next year and begin to cause real problems in 2011. I'm not worried about the USG from a GLD or SLV position because I don't hold any paper in either metal. Confiscation? Not going to happen.
DeDude says:
Mannwich; I know fundamentals matter once in a while and can be used to guide long-term (years scale) investment. But people try to use them for trading or market timing, and get crushed all the time. Its almost as silly as using fibo (is it dis the fibots Friday yet?).
karen says:
Isn't this reason enough to make new highs for 2009? Jobless rate hits double digits in 14 states, D.C.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — There were 14 states that had unemployment rates in double digits last month, with three including population heavyweight California setting all-time highs, the Labor Department reported Friday.
The report, which gives a regional breakdown of the national employment data released earlier this month, again put Michigan in the lead with the highest jobless rate — 15%.
The state, reeling from auto industry's the shutdowns, registered a gain of 38,100 nonfarm payrolls since June but has lost 280,800 in the past year.
Rhode Island followed with a jobless rate of 12.7%. Nevada, at 12.5%, had the third-worst rate.
The District of Columbia also had a double-digit rate, of 10.6%.
Jobless rates in California, at 11.9%, as well as Nevada and Rhode Island set highs for the state surveys, which go back to 1976. Georgia's rate of 10.3% was also a record high.
bubba says:
steaming? huh??? i let you off easy last time my friend. and if you didn't realized that, you're a bigger dunce that i'd thought. no offense here man, you sound like a bright knowledgeable guy and all, but you need to think a little more and not swallow perceived "facts" so easily. look, i'm just having fun with all you TA guys…it just amuses me that you take fibonacci #s so seriously. i think he must be rolling in his graves. it's a bummer for him he didn't live in this century, he'd be making a killing.

I agree, that was almost a month ago now, put the damn thing to rest.
Who do you know that uses fundamentals for day or swing trades? Did you used to trade and know people that did this, I thought you said you worked in healthcare? And as for the dissing of fibo use in determining trades, what do you use that works better? I'm always looking for new ideas.
Pat G. says:
@ ben22
Watch the market. When equities are cratering, news is bad, people are risk averse and moving into the USD. The tail is not wagging the dog.
@ leftback
Great! Then you agree with the comparison to the '70s which was in the article and not to the '30s?
call me ahab says:
that's good news Karen- makes the companies more efficient to sell to those that do have jobs:-)
cvienne says:
@Pat G
I'm glad you understand…
Ironically, I think YOU, lefty, and myself basically have the same ideas…
With regards to the precious metals…Again, I own the bullion and I don't trade it because I believe there will be, perhaps, a 20 or so year cyclicality with respect to the value store…
So the dollar trade is just a PAPER TRADE…and it represents far less than the total net worth of bullion held…
In the short term (short term – meaning – 6 months)…I can't see much more than a 10-15% correction in gold prices…But I'm hoping for about 20% upside to the dollar…
We'll see…It really won't hurt me either way…
BTW…I'd really, actually, like to buy some more gold…But it would have to get down to $840 for me to start looking seriously into that…

is Prechter still looking for Dow 41?
To my knowledge he never was looking for Dow 41. He's called for the dow below 1,000 in nominal terms between now and 2016. On his current most probably count we are in Primary Wave 2 and he has not called and end to it.

Pat, have you looked at a chart of the dollar over the last year? You've got this wrong. And, the news doesn't move markets. jmo. We'll be able to put this debate to rest in 6 months. Sadly, that seems to be a lifetime to most of the readers here.

@ahab: Wow, just wow. Who exactly is he referring to by "market participants?" What a farce.
Pat G. says:
@ karen
Absolutely! As long as corporations continue to beat lowered expectations through cost cutting, the markets will continue to rally. That's another dynamic of the disconnect between Wall St and Main St. Corporations, the USG and the MSM have made it clear with their actions or inactions that they could care less about the unemployment rate. Their rationale; there are still more people working than aren't.
ben22 says:
you assume much about me, I only use fibo as guidelines, have you ever even once seen me mention them here in reference to a trade strategy, the answer is NO, because I never have I was commenting on what someone else said about them. just the other day someone talked about our failed attempt at breaking a fibo resistance line and that it meant we were going down and I did not agree.
further I'm not a "TA guy" I use software that combines TA with fundamental analysis, much like what Fusion uses. it's funny that from my posts, which disclose very little about what I'm actually doing, you were able to determine that I'm both a dunce but sound bright.
take care

So to keep things civilized…personally, if I make a reference to a FIBO to ben (or Andy), or whoever, it's simply cvienne conversing with another who basically speaks the same language…THAT'S IT…I'm not a preacher trying to convert souls…
If anyone wants to make any fun out of it at my expense, that's perfectly fine, but I'll leave it stand at that…
On that subject…ben…if you remember, yesterday I talked about the 23.18 level on the UUP…We actually hit 23.13, then rebounded to 23.30…So now…23.19 is FIBO support on todays move…Did you notice that?
lefty…you too?
Hell, who knows…maybe the whole thing breaks down…But I'm still not really worried about the position…

Pat G: This is NOT the 70s, or we would have a much easier set of trades ahead of us (Long Volcker, short TLT).
We will get there I suppose but there is all kinds of other nonsense that has to happen first. GS has to make profits by selling and SHORTING all the crap they have been pumping to Johnny Retail, because that's how they make bank.
NOT the 30s, either, but a close facsimile of Japan, that's where the currency decline comes in, but not just NOW. Agree completely with CV above and ben, we have not seen the last "flight-to-safety" trade to govies. Once you see the carry trade unwind get rolling you will be surprised how persistent it will be, just like last year.
As BR once said it's not the CRASH that cost people money in the 30s or Japan, it was the RALLIES. BTW, a word to those who point out bullishness by insititutional investors: they are using OPM.

re OPM-
someone said something here the other day- can't remeber who- about the C trader that was to make $100 million- and he said that he deserved it because he took all the risk-

what risk? he had everything to gain and nothing to lose- except for maybe his job if he fucked it up too bad- but why not take the high risk bets?- only lines your pocket if you bet right- if you bet wrong- so what- you are personally out ZERO

@Pat G
For the record…I TALK about trading more than I actually pull the trigger…
I've been wasting a lot of electrons chattering up the dollar recently (because I feel it is at, or near, a 6 month or so turning point)…After the turn is confirmed, I probably won't talk about it until, say, next March…
As for the SPX…I follow the technicals on that al lot, but I don't trade it much…I'm starting to put a few bones on the "short side" here…I did at 1008, 1018, and even added a little at 1003…I had been thinking about setting stops (which I'd originally had at 1014, then moved down to 1008), but when the moment of truth arrived, I pulled off the stops, and am now riding a losing position…It's not a significant enough position to cause pain, so I'm actually in the CURIOUS position of "rooting against" my own positions…
As for "other trades"…Once a month or so, I'll jump on something that is clearly getting out of whack…(like last week with Macy's, where I got in & got out)…
I'm dying to get in and buy some PUTS on COF…I'm hoping to see a move to $38-$40…I've had my eye on that for 2 months now…

Okay not now but we'll get there. Please make sure to let me know. Works for me.
@ ben22
Perhaps I'm wrong about risk aversion moving the dollar but that's okay too. I have no positions in it, long or short. I just see that when it is declining, PMs and the currency that I'm holding are rising. But in the short or long run it is going lower, much lower.

Mannwich says:
@ben22: To add to that – I have much respect for people like you who do it the right way and seem to hold the clients' best interests at heart, but Hall works for a firm that's been bailed out by We The Sheeple so that he can speculated on commodities and theoretically drive up real world prices for those same Sheeple who helped keep he and his firm going? I'm sorry, but that's beyond aburd or even obsence. The problem is the entire system that you work in is crooked and has been marred by other people who give it a bad name. It's why I won't allow anyone else to manage our money probably ever.
Cohen says:
Good exmaple of that was Leading Indicators from yesterday. More of the indicators were positive than negative, so the reading was positive but the main positive was increase in stock prices (this is a leading indicator?) and the biggest drag was consumer expectations.

from Diane Swonk-
"The really disturbing part," Swonk says, is "CEOs are still denying the degree to which they played a role in this situation and how their own actions compounded the crisis."
Plus "we're really not seeing the holding of accountability," she says, suggesting we need a modern version of the Pecora Commission, which Congress gave subpoena powers to investigate the cause of the 1929 crash and featured public examinations of some of the biggest financiers of the age."
why has this not happened?

Robert Hayes
Age: 91
Born: Dec. 24, 1920
Hometown: Los Angeles
Residence: Palm Desert
Military branch: U.S. Navy; USS Arctic (AF-7)
Years served: February 1943 - October 1945; February 1952 - June 1955
Rank: Machinist Mate 1st Class
Family: Wife Rizpah (deceased); three children, Debbi Miller of Garner Valley; Ron Hayes of Seattle, and Richard Hayes of Mission Viejo; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren.
U.S. Navy veteran Robert Hayes served aboard the USS Arctic, a refrigerated supply ship that operated in the waters of the Pacific during World War II.
Loaded with meat, fresh vegetables, and dairy products, the USS Arctic delivered food and supplies to ships and bases in and around the Marshall Islands.
To the young sailor, there was no better duty.
"It was the only ship that had ice cream," Hayes said, laughing.
Loads of 2 1/2 gallon tubs of strawberry and vanilla ice cream made for a tempting treat.
The machinist mate spent most of his time working in the boiler and engine rooms, but his mind didn't wander far from the goodies in the deep freeze.
"I went down and scooped a few times," he said with a sly grin. "A spoon is all you need."
Hayes said there was only one other refrigerator ship in operation at the beginning of the war.
By the time Pearl Harbor was bombed on Dec. 7, 1941, the USS Arctic — a freighter built in 1919 — had served nearly 20 years with the Pacific Fleet.
The ship narrowly escaped the attack. She was one day out of Honolulu, on her way to San Francisco, when the bombs started dropping over Hawaii.
San Francisco is where Hayes stepped aboard the aging vessel for the first of many trips hauling tons of perishables across the Pacific.
The USS Arctic delivered provisions to ships at stops including Majuro, Kwajalein, and Eniwetok, and later to Peleliu, Saipan, and Iwo Jima where she supplied the invasion fleet and troops fighting on the ground.
Hayes said the ships would place an order, then stop by later to pick up the goods.
"We'd take the food out of the hold, put it in a net and drop it in a whale boat," Hayes said.
"We could feed up to 50 ships with one load."
Hayes also helped keep the ship supplied with fresh drinking water. "We distilled the salt water ... we could make about 500 gallons an hour."
One time when the USS Arctic was docked in the Marshall Islands, a two-man Japanese submarine got through the underwater barricade at the entrance to the harbor.
The sub torpedoed a ship next to the USS Arctic, killing about a dozen men, Hayes said.
While the ship was docked in the Marshall Islands for a long stretch of time, the men found ways to keep themselves busy when they weren't on duty.
"We'd play ball, exercise, do a little scuba diving ... we picked up cat's-eye shells in the sand. The guys would buff them and make bracelets, earrings and necklaces for their wives and girlfriends."
As if the "beef boat" didn't carry enough to satiate the sailors, relatives added to the food hoard by shipping goodies from the states.
"A friend's wife worked at a salami factory in Milwaukee, and she used to send hard salami, and we'd keep it with our laundry — we'd hide it inside our socks. We'd sit up on the poop deck and have salami sandwiches."
Hayes, who received his honorable discharge in October of 1945, was recalled to duty in February of 1952.
He served as an instructor at the U.S. Naval Training Center in San Diego during the Korean War.
After wrapping up his military career, Hayes spent 35 years working with Pacific Telephone in Long Beach.

Utah Jazz notes: Against Warriors, Utah has chance to help itself
When Utah and Golden State get together Friday night, there will be some extra incentive for the Jazz.
The Jazz own the rights to four Warrior draft picks over the next four seasons thanks to a July trade that sent Richard Jefferson, Andris Biedrins and Brandon Rush to Utah, helping Golden State clear the cap space to acquire Andre Iguodala and almost any Golden State loss would be a chance to improve future draft position.
The first of those picks will come later this year, with the Jazz owning Golden State's first-rounder. The Warriors record, 27-19 as of Friday, would put the pick at 22nd overall. But Jazz coach Ty Corbin isn't paying much mind to that right now.
"Not at this juncture," he said. "The guys upstairs have a feel for that stuff and they pay more attention than I do. We've got so many things on the floor to worry about right now, we just worry about who we are."
Utah also owns Golden State's first-round pick in 2017 and second round-picks in 2016 and 2017.
Call me maybe
After two straight appearances in the Slam Dunk contest, including one championship, Jeremy Evans hasn't heard from the league about this year's event.
He's not pressing the issue, but he hasn't given up hope either.
"I'll just see if they're going to call me up," he said. "The last couple years, it's been the last week or two they call me. I thought why [would it be different this year] if they do call?"
The event will be held on Feb. 15 in New Orleans.
Asked if he had a dunk prepared just in case, Evans smiled and said, "I'm not going to say I'm ready, but I can always prepare."
After missing practice Wednesday with a sore right hip, forward Derrick Favors was a partial participant in practice Thursday. Point guard Trey Burke and Jefferson, meanwhile, both sat out with what the team called "gastric distress." All three players will be game-time decisions Friday.

Mississippi State wide receiver Chad Bumphis (1) reacts following a 30-24 win over Troy in an NCAA college football game in Troy, Ala., Saturday.

Mississippi State is ranked nationally, but not satisfied internally.
The No. 23 Bulldogs (3-0) jumped into the top 25 polls on Sunday in the wake of their 30-24 win at Troy, where coach Dan Mullen expressed disappointment with his coaching staff and some of his players (especially the receivers, who dropped seven passes) and voiced relief following a close call at the Sun Belt school.
"We've jumped into the polls and we did not perform at our best," Mullen said. "I hope it's a real motivating factor for our guys to go out and turn around. I want us to play the best game we've played on Saturday. We ...

The former Wild forward and enforcer was found by family members in his Minneapolis warehouse district condo just after 6 p.m. Friday. As with most unattended and unexpected deaths, Minneapolis police are investigating, said Sgt. William Palmer.
"We do not suspect foul play," he added.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed an autopsy will be performed, but results will not be released for at least two weeks.
Boogaard, 28, who played five seasons for Minnesota, signed with the New York Rangers as a free agent last summer and played just 22 games for the Rangers because of concussion problems.
"It's hard to understand it," Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom said. "It's hard to describe how I feel. It's tough."
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman today released the following statement:
"The news that we have lost someone so young and so strong leaves everyone in the National Hockey League stunned and saddened. The NHL family sends its deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Derek Boogaard, to those who played and worked with him and to everyone who enjoyed watching him compete."
Backstrom and fellow Wild goalie Josh Harding, who had dressing room stalls just a few feet from Boogaard's, had equally difficult times putting their thoughts into words.
"He was always in a good mood, laughing and joking around and enjoying the life," Backstrom said. "Just a great, positive attitude.
Added Harding: "He was way, way, way too young. If you knew him as a teammate and knew him as a guy off the ice, he was the kindest guy.
"He would have your back if anything bad happened, but he wasn't a mean, tough guy. He was a gentle giant; he was a big ol' teddy bear. My thoughts and prayers go to the family. He was a friend to everybody and definitely everybody's going to miss him."
The 6-foot-7, 256-pound Boogaard, a native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, was drafted by Minnesota in the seventh round of the 2001 NHL draft and became the Wild's enforcer during the 2005-06 season after playing two seasons for the Houston Aeros. He was always prepared to drop his gloves during on-ice scraps and received 54 fighting penalties while playing for the Wild, rapidly becoming a favorite with Xcel Energy Center fans.
Fans still show up at Wild games wearing Boogaard's old No. 24 replica jersey, Backstrom pointed out.
"The crowd welcomed him," Backstrom said. "He meant a lot on the ice, and off the ice he was an awesome friend, an awesome teammate. You can't find a bad word about him."
In the dressing room, Boogaard displayed a wry sense of humor and a laid-back style.
It was said to Backstrom that Boogaard was a good man.
"Not just a good man; he was a great man," Backstrom said. "He was a friend."
Backstrom remembered Boogaard traveling to Russia two summers ago to work out with Detroit Red Wings star forward Pavel Datsyuk.
"That's 'Boogie,' " Backstrom said. "He tried to do everything to get better; he worked hard. In Russia, he definitely was out of his comfort zone, but even if he spoke a different language, he probably had a lot of really good friends there."
Playing for the Rangers, Boogaard scored a goal on Nov. 9, ending the longest active scoreless streak in the NHL dating back to Jan. 7, 2006.
It was a topic brought up to him numerous times over the years, and Boogaard refused to become critical of his questioners.
But even as he joked about it, he desperately wanted to end that scoring drought, Backstrom said. Boogaard continued to work on his offense, and after the puck finally went in for him, "he deserved it," Backstrom said.
The Wild issued a statement late Friday offering sympathy to his family.
"Derek was a fan favorite during his five seasons with the Wild and will be greatly missed here in Minnesota and throughout the NHL," the statement read. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Boogaard family during this tragic time of loss."
The Rangers also issued a statement from general manager Glen Sather:
"Derek was an extremely kind and caring individual. He was a very thoughtful person, who will be dearly missed by all those who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and teammates during this difficult time."
NHL Players Association executive director Donald Fehr also issued a statement:
"The NHLPA is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Derek Boogaard. Derek was a well-liked and respected member of the NHLPA, and his passing is a great loss to the entire hockey community. Our sincere condolences to Derek's many friends and family during this difficult time."

In fact I can create EJB and deploy it to Weblogic within JBulider. Everything is OK.
But when I creat Web application to use the above EJB. Something's wrong:
- I modify web.xml using GUI.
- I modiy EJB reference of the web application using GUI.
But there's no GUI for me to modiy weblogic.xml (which is required to be modified). Moreovers, after all changes I made, there is still nothing in weblogic.xml -> cause errors to deploy into Weblogic.
Do you have any idea?

Through our experience with the LIFE Leadership development and
LIFE business
system we learned how to build communities, serve people and develop leaders. We developed a close relationship with our friends and mentors Orrin and Laurie Woodward. Along the way, we have watched Orrin become a best selling author on leadership development and rated in the top 25 of the worlds leadership gurus. We currently sit on the Policy Counsel of LIFE Leadership. Because of our association with leadership and community building we now spend most of the year in the sunny southwest. Through the LIFE Leadership development system we have made many new friends, watched numerous people accomplish their goals and experience the freedom of travel, hiking the mountains in the southwest, reading by the pool, jeeping, and playing with the horses. Mostly we love spending time with other leaders.
I seriously hope you look over the LIFE Leadership system and
LIFE business
very closely. If you think you wouldnt have the time, look again. I believe you will experience an education and enhance your life like no other.
Enjoy getting to know us.

Zuma arrives in Seoul ahead of G20
President Jacob Zuma arrived in Seoul on Wednesday, ready to attend the 5th G20 summit due to take place on Thursday and Friday.
The Seoul summit is the second such meeting of the G20 for 2010 following the June meeting in Toronto.
A statement from the presidency said that the summit will focus on building a framework for strong, sustainable and balanced growth, on strengthening the international financial regulatory system as well as creating global financial safety nets and modernising the international financial institutions.
"South Africa participates in the G20 summit within the context of contributing to and strengthening the multilateral system to ensure fair and effective responses to the challenges confronting the world today," the statement said.
"South Africa is part of the G20 as is systematically important for the country, with national economic interests to promote.
"The G20 continues to play a key role in responding to the global economic crisis."
It is expected that Zuma will attend a welcome reception hosted by President Lee Muyng-bak in honour of G20 leaders.
Zuma who is accompanied Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and other senior government officials, is expected to return to South Africa on Saturday 13 November. - I-Net Bridge

November 28, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) - Film director Spike Lee has engaged in a brief and lively profanity-laced debate about gentrification of largely black New York City neighborhoods.
Lee grew up in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. He made his comments during a Black History Month speech at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn on Wednesday night.
He says gentrification had little regard for people who "have a culture that's been laid down for generations."
While gentrification brought improvements to neighborhoods such as Fort Greene, he demanded to know, "Why did it take this great influx of white people" to make things better?
Some audience members said they understand why some of their neighbors couldn't pass up high offers for their homes.
Lee lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side and recently listed his town house for $32 million.

Tony Perkins does not support Christians who support gay rights.
Black Helicopters Spotted in Cracker Zion by Benham Family!!!
When a caller on Monday's edition of "Washington Watch" asked Perkins about his views on the case, Perkins replied that the ministers don't have the same religious rights as others because they aren't real Christians and therefore aren't protected by the "true religious freedoms" given to Christians.

Right Wing Watch · The NFL draft is this weekend, and predictably, the Religious Right is ready to get angry about Michael Sam.
If Sam does get drafted, the team that picks him will get to look forward to dealing with Washington, DC lobbyist Jack Burkman who, as part of his campaign to pass legislation that would ban openly gay players from playing in the NFL, is vowing to unleash a "relentness" boycott against the team that drafts him.
Right Wing Watch · The Benhams respond to HGTV's decision to nix their planned reality show.
Anti-gay commentators including Laura Ingraham, David Limbaugh, Erick Erickson, Bryan Fischer, Ralph Reed, Todd Starnes, Peter LaBarbera and Janet Mefferd — along with groups including the Family Research Council and Faith Driven Consumer — all criticized HGTV for axing the show.
Pat Robertson called the move "outrageous" and a sign that society is no longer "built around the Bible." "Good grief, isn't there supposed to be some freedom? Aren't we supposed to have a First Amendment?"

The conclusions of a review of 112 studies on Christian faith and ethnic prejudice were summarized by a study in 1980 as being that "white Protestants associated with groups possessing fundamentalist belief systems are generally more prejudiced than members of non-fundamentalist groups, with unchurched whites exhibiting least prejudice."[90] The original review found that its conclusions held "regardless of when the studies were conducted, from whom the data came, the region where the data were collected, or the type of prejudice studied."[91] More recently in 2003, eight studies have found a positive correlation between fundamentalism and prejudice, using different measures of fundamentalism.
A number of prominent members of the Christian right, including Jerry Falwell and Rousas John Rushdoony, have in the past supported segregation, with Falwell arguing in a 1958 sermon that integration will lead to the destruction of the white race.[93][94]
In Thy Kingdom Come, Randall Balmer recounts comments that Paul M. Weyrich, who he describes as "one of the architects of the Religious Right in the late 1970s", made at a conference, sponsored by a Religious Right organization, that they both attended in Washington in 1990:[95]
In the course of one of the sessions,Weyrich tried to make a point to his Religious Right brethren (no women attended the conference, as I recall). Let's remember, he said animatedly, that the Religious Right did not come together in response to the Roe decision. No, Weyrichinsisted, what got us going as a political movement was the attempt on the part of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to rescind the tax-exempt status of Bob Jones University because of its racially discriminatory policies.

Say 'cheese' for new packaging graphic design
With the help of LAM Design (Pleasantville, NY) Fujifilm unveiled its new Fujicolor QuickSnap Flash one-time-use camera with a sleek, stylish body design and vivid package graphics.
The designers had a goal to enhance Fuji's presence in the one-time-use camera category with package graphics that exude excitement. They also needed to deliver on the Fuji brand promise of quality and reliability. The new package emphasizes the most important camera attributes giving retailers the edge in capturing the consumer's attention. Logotype is substantially enlarged and designed with a dynamic serpentine typeface that can be easily read from a distance. An eye-catching burst of light figures prominently in the design and serves to further emphasize the Flash name. The package design focuses on the benefits of the Quick Flash System and communicates the camera's ease-of-use in both indoor and outdoor situations. A die-cut window showcases the camera's new body and features. The cameras are sold at all major retailers nationwide.

Litigation Funding
Attorney funding or a law firm loan requests must be a minimum of $100,000. Smaller attorney loans may be considered on a case basis.
Funding is non-recourse: if the cases submitted for collateral all lose, no loan payback is required.
Attorneys/firms pledge their potential attorney fees from one or more pending cases as collateral for the advance(s). LTV is capped at 20% of the anticipated attorney fees.
Attorneys/firms must have moderately good credit. There is no minimum FICA score, however there should be no judgments, IRS liens, etc. against the law firm.
Pricing for attorney funding or a law firm loan can vary greatly. It is more expensive than other avenues for capital, however, the basis for the higher pricing stems from the fact that investors are assuming 100% of the risk in funding which is secured only by the successful outcome of the case.
Pricing is similar to plaintiff funding (3% -4% per month, compounded monthly) and depends on the types of cases and the risk of those cases settling. For example, auto accident cases usually receive a lower rate than medical malpractice cases or slip and fall cases due to liability reasons.
Often, pricing is based on a multiplier for a specific time period, instead of an accrued interest rate. The table below is an example of how attorney funding pricing may be calculated on a $100,000 attorney cash advance:
|Investment Recovery
|0 to 6 months
|7 to 12 months
|12 to 18 months
|12 to 18 months
Applying for an attorney funding loan with Excalibur Funding Programs gives you access to millions of dollars made available to our clients by large institutional funds. We understand the legal industry from the inside out since our team includes financial, business and legal professionals.
Call us at (800) 996-5340 to have a confidential discussion about your litigation loan needs. You need submit only a one page application accompanied by the appropriate case documentation.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (11/14/12) - Felisha Ware of Providence, KY captured the first-place Intermediate title in amateur aged geldings at the 2012 Bank of America Amateur American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) World Championship Show on Wednesday, November 7 in Oklahoma City.
Ware showed her American Quarter Horse A Kid By Design, a 2005 sorrel gelding. A Kid By Design, sired by Image Of Kid and out of Design N Lace, was bred by Kent Miller of Jonesboro, GA.
The Intermediate awards program is designed to recognize exhibitors who have never placed in the top 10 at an AQHA world show in the particular class in which they are competing. Intermediate exhibitor status is based only on an exhibitor's lifetime combined world show record, not on the number of points he/she has accumulated. Intermediate accomplishments will appear on the official records of the horse and exhibitor. Intermediate first place winners in each class receive an 8-inch clear globe in addition to a specially-designed patch that can be placed on a qualifiers jacket.
The AQHA World Show is the pinnacle event for American Quarter Horse owners and exhibitors around the world, who must qualify for the event by earning a predetermined number of points to compete in each of the classes representing Halter, English and Western disciplines. More than 3,590 entries from the United States, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, Mexico, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands are competing for 97 world championships at this year's event, November 2-17 at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City.
