An impressive spread was opened in the iShares Russell 2000 Index (IWM) Monday. Shares were trading down $0.10 to $90.70 and moving off the multi-year highs set the day before. One options trade surfaced midday that involved a total of 200,000 put options contracts on IWM. The hefty butterfly spread appears to be targeting a substantial decline in the small caps through the remainder of the quarter. While it might have been initiated against a stock portfolio as a hedge, the timing is interesting. One might naturally wonder, why open this massive spread now?
The hefty put fly was in the March Quarterly options on IWM that expire on 3/28 - the last business day of the quarter. In this position, the investor bought 50,000 March 88 puts on IWM for $1.24, sold 100,000 March 85 puts at $0.65 each, and bought 50,000 March 82 puts for $0.35. In other words, the March Quarterly 82 - 85 - 88 put butterfly spread on IWM was bought for $0.29, 50,000X. Today's open interest numbers confirm that a new position was initiated.
The sweet spot of the put butterfly spread at expiration is the middle strike. In this example, the best profits happen if shares fall to $85 by the end of March. If so, the position is targeting a 6.3% drop in the IWM over the next 44 days. At that point, the March 85 - 88 put spread, which was bought, is worth $3. The March 85 - 82 put spread, which is sold, is worthless. The profit is therefore $3 minus the debit paid, or $2.71 per spread. The risk to the trade is that IWM holds above the higher strike (or drops below the lower strike) and the position is left open through the expiration. At that point, the $0.29 debit is lost. The downside breakeven at expiry is at $87.71 (and $82.29).
At the end of the day, more than 227,000 March Quarterly puts traded on IWM, but it doesn't end there. Total put volume in the product was an impressive 647,000 contracts and also included active trading in the March puts, where another 228,000 contracts changed hands. In addition, a similar 133 - 141 - 149 put fly traded in the March Quarterlys on the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY), 30000X, Monday.
While all this put activity in the ETFs is probably designed to hedge other positions, rather than make outright bearish bets, the timing is noteworthy. What is motivating these big players to initiate the trades now, in the middle of February, in options that expire at the end of next month? Clearly they are concerned about some type of event risk that could potentially roil the US equity market in the weeks ahead.

Israeli settlement expansion can't be justified, French FM says
Kouchner to Palestinian investment conference: Israel 'should and can' do more to ease West Bank mobility.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on Friday criticized ongoing Israeli settlement construction, and added that Israel can do more to lift restrictions on Palestinian movement.
"Nothing justifies the settlement expansion which constitutes an impediment to peace, as well as an obstacle obstructing the development of the Palestinian economy," Koucher told delegates at the closing session of a Palestinian investors' conference in Bethlehem.
Government spokesman Mark Regev said settlement construction continues only in Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, which Israel does not consider settlements, and inside large West Bank settlement blocs that Israel intends to retain in any final peace accord.
Kouchner also said Israeli restrictions on Palestinian mobility remain significant. "Israel should and can exert more efforts [to ease the restrictions]without endangering security," he said.
Regev said that was what Israel was trying to do. "That's our challenge: To take down roadblocks, to try to create greater movement and access for Palestinians while maintaining security," he said.
The French foreign minister met on Thursday with senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni before heading to the West Bank for talks with the Palestinian Authority.
Kouchner said late Thursday after talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's chief negotiator Ahmed Qureia, in Ramallah that not enough progress had been made since Israel and the Palestinians launched peace talks in November.
He said, however, that he was was hopeful a Gaza truce could provide momentum for talks with the Palestinian Authority.
"There is this good atmosphere ... in Lebanon, as well as with Syria and also in Gaza," Kouchner said, adding that he believed he had seen goodwill among Israeli and Palestinian negotiators.
Livni told Kouchner during their talks eatlier Thursday that world governments must shun Hamas, adding that the foiled suicide bombing at a Gaza crossing that day showed that the Islamist movement was not interested in improving the plight of Palestinians.
Kouchner said in a radio interview Monday that France had been in touch with Hamas over several months, but the contacts did not amount to relations or negotiations. He did not detail the substance of those contacts with Hamas, which rejects Israel's existence.
Israel, the United States and the international community have listed Hamas as a terrorist organization, and Washington delivered a swift rebuke after Kouchner's revelation, with the State Department saying the contacts were not wise or appropriate.

Baldwinsville Lysander and Van Buren residents will both have the chance to choose whether they want to see the position of highway superintendent changed to an appointed position or remain as an elected position within each town.
Since the referendum for both towns was placed on the ballots earlier this summer, constituents have questioned the need to change the long-standing custom. To help clarify their reasoning, supervisors Claude Sykes (Van Buren) and John Salisbury (Lysander) held an informational meeting Tuesday, Oct. 24, at Baker High School. Approximately 75 people showed up to the meeting.
Sykes, along with other Van Buren Town Board representatives, stressed the importance of accountability noting that previous occurrences in the highway department have led to a disconnect between the highway department and the town offices. For example, Councilor Mary Frances Sabin said there was a break in at the highway department and the town board didn't hear about it until a check from the town's insurance company came across the supervisor's desk. In another instance, there was tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage done to a new vehicle purchased by the town as well as a lack of maintenance on the highway department fleet.
"An appointment has more people watching than elected," Sykes said, noting that should the referendum pass in Van Buren, the town board plans to appoint current Highway Superintendent Doug Foster to the position.
John Van Wie, of Baldwinsville, asked what the boundaries of the position would be should it become appointed. Sykes responded saying once it becomes a competitive position, it is governed by civil service; it can be made more restrictive, but not less restrictive, and will remain a salary position with no overtime.
"It just moves from elected to appointed, everything else stays the same," he added.
Both supervisors noted that under current town laws, any person appointed to the position must be a resident of the respective town. That law could change, however, as long as the town boards hold a public hearing.

Alphabet of Masksby Antonina W. Bouis Dmitri Birman Bela Shayevich
Alphabet of Masks is a collection of short stories and poems written on a mobile phone. It is an imaginative foray into the modern-day Russian experience. Dmitri Birman shows us how today's Russians straddle their Soviet past and their capitalist future in order to survive. The stories are wry, humorous, and sexually frank; the poems lyrical and elegiac about the narrator and his friends. The anti-Semitic reality of school bullies and army conscription, the adolescent yearning for classmates and teaching assistants, the Soviet dream of world travel and luxury consumption--all are part of the book, while the poetry resonates as variations on a theme. Dmitri Birman became a new Russian businessman after Communism fell. A prize-winning poet, he is a member of the Russian PEN.
Collapse of an Empire: Lessons for Modern Russiaby Antonina W. Bouis Yegor Gaidar
"My goal is to show the reader that the Soviet political and economic system was unstable by its very nature. It was just a question of when and how it would collapse...." --From the Introduction to Collapse of an Empire The Soviet Union was an empire in many senses of the word--a vast mix of far-flung regions and accidental citizens by way of conquest or annexation. Typical of such empires, it was built on shaky foundations. That instability made its demise inevitable, asserts Yegor Gaidar, former prime minister of Russia and architect of the "shock therapy" economic reforms of the 1990s. Yet a growing desire to return to the glory days of empire is pushing today's Russia backward into many of the same traps that made the Soviet Union untenable. In this important new book, Gaidar clearly illustrates why Russian nostalgia for empire is dangerous and ill-fated: "Dreams of returning to another era are illusory. Attempts to do so will lead to defeat." Gaidar uses world history, the Soviet experience, and economic analysis to demonstrate why swimming against this tide of history would be a huge mistake. The USSR sowed the seeds of its own economic destruction, and Gaidar worries that Russia is repeating some of those mistakes. Once again, for example, the nation is putting too many eggs into one basket, leaving the nation vulnerable to fluctuations in the energy market. The Soviets had used revenues from energy sales to prop up struggling sectors such as agriculture, which was so thoroughly ravaged by hyperindustrialization that the Soviet Union became a net importer of food. When oil prices dropped in the 1980s, that revenue stream diminished, and dependent sectors suffered heavily. Although strategies requiring austerity or sacrifice can be politically difficult, Russia needs to prepare for such downturns and restrain spending during prosperous times. Collapse of an Empire shows why it is imperative to fix the roof before it starts to rain, and why sometimes the past should be left in the past.

Amid all the mysterious events, only one thing is clear--they cannot work any longer. Something or someone is preventing scientific knowledge from advancing. The tension mounts as more and more frightening and inexplicable events take place.

From Russia to the West: The Musical Memoirs and Reminiscences of Nathan Milsteinby Antonina W. Bouis Nathan Milstein Solomon Volkov

I, Maya Plisetskayaby Antonina W. Bouis Maya Plisetskaya Tim Scholl
Maya Plisetskaya, one of the world's foremost dancers, rose to become a prima ballerina of Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet after an early life filled with tragedy and loss. In this spirited memoir, Plisetskaya reflects on her personal and professional odyssey, presenting a unique view of the life of a Soviet artist during the troubled period from the late 1930s to the 1990s. Plisetskaya recounts the execution of her father in the Great Terror and her mother's exile to the Gulag. She describes her admission to the Bolshoi in 1943, the roles she performed there, and the endless petty harassments she endured, from both envious colleagues and Party officials. Refused permission for six years to tour with the company, Plisetskaya eventually performed all over the world, working with such noted choreographers as Roland Petit and Maurice Béjart. She recounts the tumultuous events she lived through and the fascinating people she met-among them the legendary ballet teacher Agrippina Vaganova, George Balanchine, Frank Sinatra, Rudolf Nureyev, and Dmitri Shostakovich. And she provides fascinating details about testy cocktail-party encounters with Khrushchev, tours abroad when her meager per diem allowance brought her close to starvation, and KGB plots to capitalize on her friendship with Robert Kennedy. Gifted, courageous, and brutally honest, Plisetskaya brilliantly illuminates the world of Soviet ballet during an era that encompasses both repression and cultural détente. Still prima ballerina assoluta with the Bolshoi Ballet, Maya Plisetskaya also travels around the world performing and lecturing. At the Bolshoi's gala celebrating her 75th birthday, President Vladimir Putin presented her with Russia's highest civilian honor, the medal for service to the Russian state, second degree. Tim Scholl is professor of Russian language and literature at Oberlin College. Antonina W. Bouis is the prize-winning translator of more than fifty books, including fiction, nonfiction, and memoirs by such figures as Andrei Sakharov, Elena Bonner, and Dmitri Shostakovich.

Management Measures
Highly migratory species move throughout large areas of the Pacific and are fished by many nations and gear types. Therefore fisheries management by the United States alone is not enough to ensure that harvests are sustainable in the long term. The U.S. is a Member of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), which is responsible for the conservation and management of fisheries for tuna and other species taken by tuna-fishing vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The U.S. is also a member of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), which plays a parallel role in the western and central Pacific Ocean. The United States is obligated to implement decisions of these tuna Commissions, and does so under the Tuna Conventions Act and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation Act. To ensure that harvests of highly migratory species are sustainable Pacific-wide, the United States is dependent on other Member and Cooperating Non-Member nations of the tuna Commissions to adhere to their obligations to implement Commission decisions.
Regulations under the Tuna Conventions Act
The regulations implemented under the Tuna Conventions Act, in accordance with resolutions of the IATTC, apply to U.S. fishing vessels targeting or pursuing highly migratory species within the IATTC Convention Area. The recent rules and regulations are listed below, however the current and official list of international fisheries regulations are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR part 300.
*The regulations implemented under the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Implementation, in accordance with Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission Resolutions, apply to U.S. fishing vessels targeting or pursuing highly migratory species within the WCPFC Convention Area.
Regulations under the Magnuson-Stevens Act
Regulations under the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species apply to U.S. fishing vessels targeting or pursuing highly migratory species within the West Coast exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of California, Oregon, and Washington or the adjacent high seas (seaward of the EEZ) and land their fish in California, Oregon, or Washington. Additional restrictions apply under the High Seas Fishing Compliance Act and for Hawaii-based longline permitted vessels landing into West Coast ports. The fishery management plan does not apply to U.S. vessels that fish for highly migratory species on the high seas and land into a non-U.S. port.
There have been five regulatory amendments to the Fishery Management Plan for U.S. West Coast Fisheries for Highly Migratory Species. Because fishery rules frequently change, fishermen must familiarize themselves with the latest regulations and are responsible for complying with the current official regulations set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 50 CFR part 660.

How exactly did Clara "save" the Doctor.

Re: How exactly did Clara "save" the Doctor.
^AHAHAHA I did the same thing.
The article did touch on some of the same things I pointed out. Main passages here
The story of the Impossible Girl also comes to its conclusion, and it's been a fine old ride. The very fact it resulted in that augmented crazy clips package justifies the whole exercise, before we even get going on the explanation. The concept of Clara splintered in time (I've seen City of Death, I know the lingo), and interacting with every incarnation of the Doctor is grand. To have something that tinkers with the everythingness of Doctor Who is exactly what we need in this year of years. And because of that, it works as a first pass. But look at it for a moment longer, and it falls to bits.
Why, if Clara's been bobbing around the Doctor's time stream, didn't he recognise her when they met sans Dalek casing in The Snowmen? Readers, I've given this a bit of thought. I guess the line "But he almost never hears me" covers that. But it's a flip-floppy piece of writing. The Time Lord's never aware of Clara, except for those moments when he is? I'm also at a loss to work out what the Great Intelligence is actually up to when he inserts himself into the montage. Are we to read this as him continually killing the Doctor? Or just standing around all day looking tough (which must be very wearing on the nerves)? Also, how is Clara thwarting his efforts? Does her presence somehow boot him out of the time stream? Do they wrestle? Plus, where exactly are she and the Doctor at the end of the episode? And, hang on, this has just occurred to me – how come Clara's suspicious of River's grave? She states she knows the prof isn't dead, but neither is the Doctor and no one's querying his resting place.
Normally I'm not sure how much these details matter. Particularly in a story that's about to skewer our understanding of Doctor Who history. But when so much screen time is also devoted to plot mechanics, it begs you to make a closer inspection
Like myself and most people, we found TNOTD really riveting and engaging the first watch through. They were throwing some heavy shit at us and it all sounded pretty good. However upon rewatches and thinking about the episode logically, you realize it's full of holes and doesn't make any sense. It's sort of like Moffat is the Master and he's hypnotized everyone in the fandom. Doctor Who series 3 "The Sound of Drums" style. Don't know what he's talking about but it sounded good.

It's a good thing these are cheap....

Comments about Halco Lighting 15 Watt, 130 Volt A15 Incandescent Ceiling Fan/Appliance Bulb:
I have a house built in 1960 that has a valance around the entire living room and another valance around the entire family room in the basement. There are light sockets spaced about a foot apart behind the valances and each bank is controlled by a dimmer. The living room has 45 bulbs in the string and the family room 51. Essentially a rather large, indirect lighting system.The spacing between the sockets and the valance is pretty tight so I can only use a bulb 3 1/2 inches long. I've been using 15 watt bulbs in a futile attempt to save energy. While the 15 watts bulbs are adequate for lighting, their lifetime is somewhat of a joke. There is no way I'm getting anywhere near the number of hours these bulbs are suppose to deliver.It's a good thing these are cheap as I go through a lot of them every month. I've tried the more expensive brands of 15 watt bulbs but don't see any improvement in their lifetime either.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I don't see anything too bad there. The good news is that they are not promoting dynamic compression. It doesn't look like any of their "mastering tools" are even capable of dynamic compression or otherwise doing any damage (except for possible lossy file compression artifacts from the AAC format). Overall, the advice seems reasonable.
I did notice one slight error:
Because this SRC outputs a 32-bit floating-point file, it can preserve values that might otherwise fall outside of the permitted frequency range.Of course, bit-depth and integer/floating-point have nothing to do with frequency. Change that to "amplitude range" and it's correct.

Editor's note: This article originally ran on chasingjoejohnson.com.
Sometimes you rediscover your fanaticism in the strangest of places. And when you do, it feels like a relapse.
Prior to the Falcons final fourth down attempt, I told my wife that if they ended up losing, I was going to need some time alone. She understood. The ball was snapped, the hook-and-ladder did what it always does – outside of Varsity Blues, that is – and the clock eventually ran down to nothing. I left the living room without saying a word and walked into our bedroom. I shut the door, turned off the lights, and laid down in bed. Face first.
Thirty seconds later, I was back in the living room.
I decided that I wasn't going to let this be like the other times. Normally after a loss of this magnitude, I put up a wall to shield myself from the rest of the sports world. My misery does not love company, you see. It's called self-pity, not us-pity. I need to wallow in it in peace. Over time, I'll eventually get over my butthurt, and over time I'll feel comfortable returning to my station as a normal, productive member of society. But I need to be the one dictating the terms of my return. "Over time" could be one day or it could be one month. Or it could be even longer. That needs to be my decision to make, not anybody else's. In the meantime, I don't want to hear anything from anybody. The slightest bit of antagonism might set me off.
This time, though, I decided it wouldn't be like that. Not like the time I avoided all ESPN everything for three whole months after Georgia Tech lost to UConn in the 2004 National Championship Game. Not like the time Reggie Ball throwing the ball away on fourth down against UGA caused me to swear off Georgia Tech football (
I'm done with this team! Forever!!). Not like the time I stonewalled my friends for weeks after the Falcons lost in Super Bowl XXXIII.
So why the change?
Time and time again, I've talked to you about the importance of hope. Hope is what buoyed me. Despite the cataclysmic manner in which the Falcons lost to the 49ers, for the first time ever, I left the season feeling like I had reason to be hopeful about the Falcons.
Julio Jones.
Jacquizz Rodgers.
Chase Coffman.
Sean Weatherspoon. Robert McClain. Thomas DeCoud. William Moore.
Matt Ryan, Roddy White, hell, even Thomas Dimitroff. The list goes on and on.
Even if Tony Gonzales or Todd McClure retire, even if I'm proven right and the loss dooms the Falcons to getting the "same old Falcons" treatment, I knew in that moment that the future is bright. No need to sweat the loss. My mind was so right I even sent a congratulatory text to a friend of mine who roots for the Niners. I felt no emotion. I was over it.
Or so I thought.

"sweet child of mine" from afrank" - well captured, nice portrait, tells you something and raises a question!
from rudiger, a different view of "montmartre" - defintiely in keeping with the character of the place!
and from mike wilde always pushing himself technically and creatively "birds at blue water bridge", "after a dip..." , and "time lapse test - lomography". rumor has it, mike has never shot a normal picture - either unknown paper, developer, non-standard camera, strange process - always interesting and done well.

thanks all!!!! i appreciate all the creativity and hard work!

New chamber president backs what's good for business
Raising awareness and understanding of the "why" of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce is one of the major focuses for incoming President Richard Hall.
"Part of that purpose is making a difference in the community," he said.
Hall, who served on the board for three years, said he has been involved in most of the projects the chamber has put on during that time. He and his wife, Dee Paull, are attorneys and opened Bottom Line Lawyers in Downtown Auburn four years ago. The practice handles litigation, real estate, bankruptcy and "more recently, a lot of foreclosure stuff," he said.
The Halls moved to the area in 1995 from Southern California.
"We were looking for a different lifestyle," he said. "My daughter was 3 years old. She's now a sophomore in college. We wanted a real positive environment for her to grow up in."
A graduate of the University of La Verne, his background includes extensive real estate experience before he went to law school in his 30s.
One of the things he's done as preparation for his new leadership role is review the past 100 years of chamber history.
"Over that period of time, this chamber is amazing in what it has done," he said. "It has had a hand in nearly everything."
That includes community infrastructure — such as streets, lights and sewers — as well as local government, business and cultural objectives.
"Many people don't know that the chamber had a hand in starting the Auburn Symphony and starting the Tevis Cup," he said. "So the chamber's role is sometimes as the actual promoter of the event, but frequently as a collaborator with other organizations for events. Its work is frequently very silent. Most of the things don't get at a lot of public notice because they are behind the scenes."
He cited, as an example, the recent rash of Americans with Disabilities lawsuits filed against local small businesses.
"We've put on seminars to help our members and other businesses in the community know what they need to do to protect themselves against (ADA) lawsuits and be in compliance with the law," he said.
Among the items on the chamber's to-do list this year is putting on a new event. The type and timing haven't been decided yet, but it will "celebrate Auburn and excellence in Auburn and would underscore our 'Why' statement," Hall said. "Fundamentally, the chamber recognizes that a strong business environment needs a strong community."
Another emphasis is on the Auburn Business Council.
"The chamber is seeking to support all the other organizations in the community if it is business associated," Hall said.
Among those are the Placer County Visitors Bureau and the Downtown and Old Town business associations.
"Our role is to support them in achieving their goals," he said.
He and the board will also be starting the transition process in preparation for CEO Bruce Cosgrove's retirement next year after 28 years with the chamber.
One of the things Hall enjoys most about being part of the chamber is the people.
"People do business with folks they know and folks they trust," he said. "The way you do that is through networking. The chamber has three events for that every month — the Good Morning Auburn breakfast on the second Friday of the month, Business After Hours and the luncheon mixer on first Wednesday of the month."
As he welcomes Hall as president, Cosgrove said he's excited about the coming year.
"He has come on as president of the chamber at a time where we've had three and a half years of challenging economic times," Cosgrove said. "There is a spirit of optimism in the business community — a belief that things are beginning to turn positive. With Richard, he's picking right up where Tony Hazarian left off and wants to move some programs forward into 2012 that are going to be good for business, good for the chamber as an organization and good for the community."
When Hall has free time, he spends it with family. In addition to his daughter in college, he has two other daughters who live out of the area and six grandchildren.
"I try to see them as often as possible," he said.
He also hikes in the American River Canyon and enjoys cycling.
A longtime hobby is collecting buffalo artwork.
"The American bison is my favorite animal," he said.
That got its start when he was a Boy Scout and leader of the buffalo patrol.
"I always admired the fact that (Native Americans) respected the buffalo and when they killed them, they used them completely."

Chamber welcomes new board members
Umpqua Bank staff member Monique Hall and Preston Marx, attorney with Reynolds Maddux Law Firm in Auburn, were recently named to the Auburn Chamber of Commerce's board of directors.
Board members are selected through an application process.
"We have more people who want to be on the board than we have spots," Chamber CEO Bruce Cosgrove said.
A nominating committee goes through the applications and makes recommendations to the board. The board then approves the nominations.
"People who represent the board represent the community," Cosgrove said. "We're looking for a diverse representation of the business community. Bringing Monique Hall and Preston Marx on the board accomplishes that objective for 2012."

Canwest Proposes June 10 Creditors Vote on Exit Plan
Canwest Global Communications Corp.'s newspaper division plans to hold a creditors' vote on its plan to exit bankruptcy on June 10, according to court documents.
The exit plan includes the sale of the newspapers to a group of bondholders led by Canadian media executive Paul Godfrey, who had agreed on May 10 to buy the assets for C$1.1 billion ($1.1 billion).
Godfrey and the bondholders, known as the ad hoc committee, or AHC, beat out two other bidders for the newspapers, Douglas Lamb, a senior employee at Canwest Publishing, said in court documents. Torstar Corp., publisher of the Toronto Star, said the winning bid was more than it was prepared to pay. Lamb didn't name the other bidders.
"The LP entities are firmly of the view that the AHC transaction represents the best available outcome for the business," Lamb said.

Comparison of alternative sources of farmland values
Purpose – Consistent and reliable data on farmland values is critical to assessing the overall financial health of agricultural producers. However, little is known about the idiosyncrasies and similarities of standard land value data sources – US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Federal Reserve Bank land value surveys, and transaction prices. The purpose of this paper is to determine the differences and similarities of land value movements from three land value data sources. Design/methodology/approach – In addition to Oklahoma transaction prices, two survey sources are considered: the USDA annual report and the quarterly Tenth District Survey of Agricultural Credit Conditions administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The paper describes each data set and identifies differences in data sampling, collection, and reporting. Average values of Oklahoma farmland across data sources are examined. USDA estimates are regressed against quarterly Federal Reserve values across multiple states to determine the point in time represented by USDA estimates. Granger causality tests determine if Federal Reserve land value estimates anticipate movements in USDA land value estimates. Findings – It is found that all three data sources are highly correlated, but transaction prices tend to be higher, especially for irrigated cropland and ranchland. USDA land values are reported as representing land values on January first, but instead they more closely represent first and second quarter land values according to a multi-state comparison to changes in quarterly Federal Reserve land values. Given the finding that first quarter Federal Reserve Bank land values lead USDA land values and that they are published before the USDA release, Federal Reserve land values are a timely indicator of agricultural producers' financial position. Originality/value – No previous research has addressed the topic of how various sources of agricultural land values compare. JEL classification: G32, Q14

What Is Your Favorite Kind of Pie?
Let's Dish: What's Your Favorite Kind of Pie?
by partysugar
Like us on Facebook
This Summer, I'm in a pie state of mind: I've been making at least one pie a month and show no signs of stopping! Lately, I've been tackling fruit pies, like peach and blueberry, but perhaps the time is right for me to move on to cream and custard pies? There are countless pie recipes out there, but if I had to choose one type of pie to be my favorite, I would select key lime pie. It's cool, it's creamy, it's divine. Second runner up? Banana cream pie. Classic cherry pie is third! How about you? What is your preferred pie?

My favorite is the Baltimore Bomb from Dangerously Delicious Pies (originally in Baltimore, now also in DC). DDP also makes a pie called Full Custom Custard that's excellent. In terms of generally available pies, I love chess pies, particularly chocolate peanut butter chess and chocolate coconut chess. I also love pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie. In terms of fruit pie, I love cherry. Again, DDP makes a good one called the Marion Berry Pie, made with marion berries and topped with rock candy. And, I swear I don't work for Dangerously Delicious Pies, but they make an excellent Steak, Mushroom, Onion, and Gruyere savory pie. I've only had it twice, but I swear I had dreams about it for weeks after I first had it. So yeah, basically I like almost all pies and I am not ashamed to admit it. I hope pie kind of becomes the new cupcakes!

well my fav would be anything with chocolate and/or cheesecake and/or icecream....but those are arguably cakes disguised as pies when looking at more traditional pies, strangely enough, I never used to like cream pies but now I'd say coconut or banana cream pie would be my favorite!

Springtime is the best time to fall in love and what do you know? I have a new crush.
I'm perpetually on the prowl for passioniate DIYers turning garbage into gold in unusual ways. In April, the object of my affection was the unknown person behind The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Composter, an (now-destroyed) old dresser transformed into a makeshift worm bin and placed on a street in Brooklyn. Last month, I was smitten with 80 plastic shopping bags turned into striking outdoor light fixtures in Madrid.
I tried to think of better ways than "Garbage Can" to reimagine the interior spaces of these flyerboxes- better ways to make use of the whole box- not just the exterior walls.
This is what I came up with. I think it's pretty great, if I do say so myself. The boxes make a perfect platform for planters- and with them you can guerrilla garden almost anywhere in the inhospitable city!
Moving beyond guerilla gardens on crowded city sidewalks and into your own backyard, a question: how have you found ways to transform large pieces of unusual refuse — things like old wheelbarrows, wooden dinghies, etc. — into flower-filled garden objects? Please do share …

Unfortunately, any tightening by the Fed will send the stock market reeling to the downside and most bids will disappear as investors try to head for the exits.
The pretense that QE is working is making this "guidance" ludicrous. I laugh pretty hard every time I hear them say what they'll do when "unemployment hits 7%". The REASON it will hit 7% is when EVERYONE GIVES UP!!!
It's talk from an alternate universe - one that does NOT exist.
The only solution is BUSINESS FRIENDLY POLICY - which FED MOUTHS IGNORE or hate to admit.
Professors at the helms of various Fed institutions are the issue. They treat everyone like grad students and themselves as the Almighty.

Occupy Wall Street is NO Tea Party! The masses of people collecting in New York City, across the country and world in the name of OWS look more like riots (reminiscent of the 1960s free love variety) than a movement. Participants in this "inchoate" movement as liberal and conservative media have described it, have trashed parks, attacked police, set cars ablaze and paraded around topless in the name of what?
Attempts by Democrats and President Obama to label this a "populist movement" akin to the Tea party are wishful thinking. Unlike the Tea Party movement, OWS protesters are railing against big banks, corporations, eating well off donated food, and being co-opted by the big Unions for what purpose? The OWS protests are gaining lots of attention but are NOT affecting any change nor do they seem concerned with organizing for a purpose or goal in mind.
Here's where the liberal media, Democrats and Obama need a little history lesson as they try to toss the Tea Party movement into the chaotic brew of OWS. The Tea Party movement began in organized, peaceful, methodical grassroots fashion. In early 2009, Amy Kremer (Tea Party Express), Jenny Beth Martin (Tea Party Patriots), Kari Carender and Michael Leahy were fed up with Obama policies of government over-reach, namely Obamacare, mounting US debt, bank bailouts and $800 billion stimulus which stimulated nothing.
As Peggy Noonan described the tea party's theme is "stop the spending, stop the sloth, incompetence and unneeded regulation." Together "they exploited the Internet to raise money and untie disparate activists." On April 15, 2009, tea party protests were held from Seattle, WA to Richmond, VA to change the political debate and demand elected officials reign in country's mounting debt, stop the endless government spending and taxation policies, Obamacare and get the country back on track. Over the course of two years, tea party supporters showed up at town hall members held by members of Congress, threatening political retribution in the form of votes if members of Congress voted for Obamacare.

It starts in modern times when a pair of Beethoven enthusiasts purchase the hair at a Sotheby's auction. Tracing the past generations of owners, the story culminates in the futuristic science that reveals Beethoven's medical secret, while at the same time, it explores the world of forensic testing in sharp relief against the romance of 19th century Vienna and the horrors of 20th century Nazi Germany. ~ Baseline StudioSystems
