12 Charts That Show The Permanent Damage That Has Been Done To The US EconomySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/14/2014 19:03 -0500
Most people that discuss the "economic collapse" focus on what is coming in the future. And without a doubt, we are on the verge of some incredibly hard times. But what often gets neglected is the immense permanent damage that has been done to the U.S. economy by the long-term economic collapse that we are already experiencing. But because unprecedented levels of government debt and reckless money printing by the Federal Reserve have bought us a very short window of relative stability, most Americans don't seem too concerned about our long-term problems. They seem to have faith that our "leaders" will be able to find a way to muddle through whatever challenges are ahead. Hopefully the following 12 charts will be a wake up call.
China's Economy Slams On The Brakes: 30% Of Coal Miners Unable To Pay Employees On TimeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/22/2014 11:38 -0500
More than 70 per cent of the country's coal miners were losing money and had cut salaries. Translated: widespread wage deflation, in a country where M2 is expected to grow at a double digit pace. And the really bad news: "About 30 per cent of the industry's miners had not been able to pay their employees on time and a further 20 per cent had cut salaries by more than 10 per cent, the Economic Information Daily, a Xinhua-affiliated newspaper, reported on Monday."
Quantitative Proof The Fed Is Destroying The Middle ClassSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/19/2014 18:26 -0500
The Fed's strategy of targeting higher stock prices to boost economic growth has done the exact opposite. This strategy has pulled money away from effective macroeconomic investments and into ineffective macroeconomic albeit effective short term microeconomic investments. The end result is that we have all time high stock prices but no economic growth. We will be stuck in this economic lull until the Fed is ready to admit defeat and allow for a new more effective strategy to be implemented.
Wall Street Responds To China's QE: Beijing Finds Lack Of Faith DisturbingSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/17/2014 09:35 -0500
China warns "the outside world doesn't get it, we do," in a statement related to the "stealth QE" they unleashed yesterday, noting investorsd "do not realize that today's Chinese economy is moving towards "new normal" in the process," and "need to accept the volatility of economic data," during this transition. Crucially, PBOC adviser Chen Yulu clarifies what Western central banks simply cannot grasp: "Hoping for stimulus policies in the face of increased economic pressure is short-sighted and does no good to long-term economic development," warning investors should not expect "strong stimulus." Wall Street is less than exuberant about the liquidity injection, as the impact on real economy may be limited due to lenders' risk aversion.
Futures Flat On Russia Sanctions Round 3 DaySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/12/2014 06:09 -0500
While today's key news event will likely be the preannounced latest, third, round of anti-Russian sanctions and the Russian retaliation, the reality as DB notes, is that the market seems to be seeing "some fatigue" in this story with the ECB, Scotland and next week's Fed meeting taking center stage. As a result, and ahead of expectations of change in Fed language which should carry a more hawkish tone, the dollar has been bid up some more overnight, leading to fresh multi-year highs in the USDJPY, and the now-paired TSY trade, with 10Y yields up to 2.57%, although this may now be in short-term oversold territory. The latest Scottish poll appears to have dented some of the "Yes" momentum, with 52% of the polled saying they would vote No in the referendum, although right now neither side has a clear majority when factoring in the undecideds: which means it will come down to the wire next week, with clear implications for Europe's secessionist movements if the Yes vote still manages to prevail, not to mention massive ramifications for the UK.

Overnight the most notable move has been the ongoing weakness in rates, with USTs reversing earlier Tokyo gains after BoJ Deputy Governor Iwata, in addition to commenting on a lot of things that didn't make much sense, said he didn't see any difficulties in money market operations even if BoJ bought bought government debt with negative yields, as InTouch Capital Markets notes. As a reminder, yesterday we noted that in a historic first the "Bank Of Japan Monetizes Debt At Negative Rates." As Bloomberg notes, this may be interpreted that BoJ may target negative yields to penalize savers, which "all boosts the appeal of yen-funded carry trades." In other words, first Europe goes NIRP, now it's Japan's turn! So while this certainly lit the fire under the USDJPY some more, which overnight broke about 106.50 and hit as high as 106.75 on Iwata's comments, it does not explain why the 10Y is currently trading 2.52% - after all the fungible BOJ money will eventually make its way into US bonds and merely add to what JPM has calculated is a total $5 trillion in excess liquidity sloshing in the global market.
JPMorgan Stunner: "The Current Episode Of Excess Liquidity Is The Most Extreme Ever"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/08/2014 07:40 -0500
"The ECB's quantitative expansion is hitting the financial system at a time when broad liquidity is also very high. The rise in excess liquidity, i.e. the residual in the model of Figure 3, is supportive of all assets outside cash, i.e. bonds, equities and real estate. The current episode of excess liquidity, which began in May 2012, appears to have been the most extreme ever in terms of its magnitude and the ECB actions have the potential to make it even more extreme, in our view.... These liquidity boosts are not without risks. We note that they risk creating asset bubbles which when they burst can destroy wealth leading to adverse economic outcomes. Asset yields are mean reverting over long periods of time and thus historically low levels of yields in bonds, equities and real estate are unlikely to be sustained forever."- JPMorgan
Are US Consumers Evil Hoarders?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/04/2014 12:09 -0500
A recent Fed paper reports that the Fed's wild money printing orgy has failed to produce much CPI inflation because "consumers are hoarding money". It is said that this explains why so-called "money velocity" is low. Sadly, they are misinformed: In short, "hoarding" cannot possibly harm the economy. The same, alas and alack, cannot be said of money printing.
Visualizing the Vanishing Money Velocity VortexSubmitted by Bruno de Landevoisin on 08/23/2014 10:52 -0500
Under the imposition of StealthFlation, the Velocity of Money lies dormant while increasing Inflationary risks build below the surface.
Fed Fueled M&A Destroys CapitalSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/19/2014 17:45 -0500
The world's central bankers have given companies the urge to merge. Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activity has already reached $2.2 trillion this year according to Thomson Reuters Deals Intelligence, up 70% from this time a year ago. The deals are big, with eight acquisitions, each over $5 billion, being announced in just a single week in July. However CEO buying sprees do not create new jobs and new products that make our lives better, but are instead just wasteful malinvestments that destroy capital. The cost of capital is integral to making these assumptions. The lower the assumed interest rate or cost of capital, the higher the price for the acquisition that the models will justify. Once interest rates go up, these valuation models will be blown to pieces.
Just The Right Amount Of Bad Overnight News To Ramp Global EquitiesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/13/2014 06:10 -0500
If it was crashing German business confidence yesterday setting the somber mood for European economic "growth" in the second half, with a European GDP decline if not outright contraction now almost practically inevitable, then overnight it was disappointing data from virtually every other spot in the globe (and Europe again) to hammer the message in, starting with a historic 6.8% drop in Japanese GDP driven by a record plunge in consumption, quickly followed by total social financing out of China which in aggregate rose by only RMB273.1bn in July, or just 18% of what was expected, with missing industrial production and retail sales just the cherry on top. Then it was Europe's turn again, where June Industrial Production contracted -0.3% on expectations of a 0.4% increase, to set the stage for tomorrow's Eurozone GDP print which, following Italy's triple-drip recession shocker last week, probably means it will be not only Japan but also Europe which are about to have taken a sharp move for the worse. All of which of course, explains why just as Europe opened, the USDJPY blasted off and took both EuroSTOXX and US equity futures higher with it, and at last check ES was some 10 higher.

Investors and speculators face some profound challenges today: How to deal with politicized markets, continuously "guided" by central bankers and regulators? In this environment it may ultimately pay to be a speculator rather than an investor. Speculators wait for opportunities to make money on price moves. They do not look for "income" or "yield" but for changes in prices, and some of the more interesting price swings may soon potentially come on the downside. They should know that their capital cannot be employed profitably at all times. They are happy (or should be happy) to sit on cash for a long while, and maybe let even some of the suckers' rally pass them by. As Sir Michael at CQS said: "Maybe they [the central bankers] can keep control, but if people stop believing in them, all hell will break loose." We couldn't agree more.

Our goal is to find a balance between the dependability of a low pressure system and the minimal use of water from a high pressure system. Maintaining reserviors on a commercial scale can lead to many headaches, so we are designing our systems to be drain to waste.
We are also developing a modular nutrient feeding system that will work in concert with our modular Aeroponic system.
The entire system is being built with longevity in mind and ease of maintence. We are also trying to use as many American manufactured parts as possible.
The one design compononent of our system that sets us apart from everyone else will be our modular lid design. By simply changing out lids you can go from growing your favourite herbs, to your favourite micro-greens. Also, the systems are stackable using the very simple Unistrut brand metal framing system. For micro-greens, you could stack them 3 high in a typical 8' ceiling.
Our root chambers are spun molded from FDA approved food grade high-density polyethylene and at almost 3/8 of an inch thick.. they should last forever!
Anyways, we are still quite a ways from retailing these systems, but we wanted to hopefully gain some exposure by blogging about our prototyping and development progress.
We hope to inspire as well as manybe get inspiration from some of the DIY'er out there as well.

Moroccan Carrot Salad
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 5 mins
A wonderful combination of flavors. It's a flexible recipe -- you can make it as garlicky as you like!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb carrot, cut into 2 " x 1/4-inch strips
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh is best)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 -6 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cut carrots into 2" x 1/4" strips. (If you buy the baby carrots instead of whole carrots, this becomes a lot easier!).
- Steam carrots for approximately 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- While carrots are steaming, combine remaining ingredients.
- Spoon over hot carrots, tossing 'til well coated.
- Chill several hours.
Most Helpful
I liked this.. I will make it again, but with less cinnamon and less cumin, and garlic becuase even for this garlic lover it was a little overpowering. The lemon, olive oil, paprika and parsley are good, but I wanted to taste more of the carrots as well. Personal taste is obviously everything and I will be happier to tone down parts of this for my own personal taste. That said, I will be making this again, becuase the basic type of taste is very refreshing. Please see my rating system: 3 stars for a recipe that I will be very happy to tweek to better suit our tastes. Thanks!
Yum! Wonder how it would be with lime juice instead of lemon ... may try that next time.
Very good. Didn't use paprika and cut back a little on the sugar and cinnamon (I prefer things spicy rather than sweet). Will definitely make this again.

Breitbart's goal was to destroy the mainstream propaganda media. AWD's purpose is to destroy political correctness. Political Correctness is the weapon conservatives give liberals to use against us to stifle discussion of issues liberals do not want to be discussed. Why allow our ideological enemies to define the rules of engagement? And, really, do you care what Al Sharpton or Tingles Matthews thinks about you? Here's a hint to all those wussypants conservatives on our side that continually tuck tail and run when accused of racism: Nothing you do…NOTHING…will ever result in a liberal saying you are correct on any issue.
The term racist is thrown around so often by liberals and blacks these days that it has lost any relevance. Liberals insult the intelligence of any reasonable person (read: conservative) by dropping the race card at every instance. It's been said the definition of a racist is a conservative winning an argument with a lib. There's a lot of truth in that. Conservatives win political arguments with liberals because liberals cannot debate. Liberals are long on name-calling, short on facts, reason and logic. They are intellectual and ideological bullies.
The term 'racist' is now officially joke status. Last week, James Clyburn, a black Congressman from a gerrymandered district in South Carolina created to give blacks a political advantage, informed us the entire English language is (horrors!) 'racist.'
"The entire English language was created by slaveowners as a means of oppression. You can't just say that one word is a racist code word or another. The whole language, every single word, letter and apostrophe in it is racist. It's a fact. If you speak English, you're a racist."
Is Clyburn not delivering this indictment of the English language in English? Ergo, is he not himself, by his own admission, racist? Clyburn is not only mentally challenged, he is also historically challenged by this statement. English was used long before white devils brought slaves to America (after buying said slaves from black slave owners in Africa). I guess the genius Clyburn didn't show up to school the day they taught history.
Here's another example of the lunacy of the left in throwing around the race card. Here is the new chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (is not a Black Caucus in itself racist as it excludes other races?) opining on criticism of UN Ambassador Susan Rice:
"If the language is being used to criticize a black person then we must deem such language to be irreparably and irrevocably racist. Every word that is used to disguise the racist intentions of a racist political movement must be deemed a racist code word disguising the true racist intentions of the racists who make use of them."
So according to the chair of a caucus that includes and excludes membership based on race says any criticism of anyone with melanin in their pigment to be racist. The question is why do intelligent people of all races tolerate such lunacy?
If black people are to hold positions of authority, they must be willing to accept criticism based upon their actions and performance. The criticism against Susan Rice is not that she is a black person who lied to the American public about what happened in Benghazi. The criticism, and rightfully so, is that Susan Rice appeared on the Sunday morning talk shows and lied to the American people about what happened in Benghazi. Nothing more, nothing less. But nothing of the criticism leveled against her is based on her skin color.
This week, Nicki Minaj (whoever that is) accused AeroSmith singer Steven Tyler of racism because he made the comment that the current judges on American Idol (of which she is one) would have "sent Bob Dylan to the cornfield." Minaj answered:
"Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven't seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet!
"I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment."
Steven Tyler's comment in no way comes close to being a statement about Minaj being a bad judge because she is a black woman (I think she is). His comment, at best, can be construed to say she wouldn't recognize talent. A racist statement would have been:
"Nicki Minaj wouldn't recognize the quality of a performer like Bob Dylan because she is a black woman and, as such, cannot adequately judge music of quality."
Minaj, in keeping with the poison of political correctness, accused Tyler of racism when his comment had nothing to do with her pigment. Again, if you're going to be in the public eye and happen to be black, you must be prepared to accept criticism without dropping the over-used, ubiquitous race card.
AWD has been accused of being racist for daring to have the audacity of criticizing poor black behavior. Why does AWD criticize bad black behavior? Because I believe that blacks doing such things as leading the nation in murders by percentage of population or taking part in violent flash mobs that beat unsuspecting white people, or participating in the game "Knockout" where blacks try to knock out innocent white people in one unprovoked punch, should be ashamed of themselves and should be castigated for such behavior. I am guilty, not of racism, but of believing and demanding that black people act and perform better in a civil society. AWD is accused of being racist for daring to believe that blacks can and should perform as well as other races. Where is the racism in that belief?
Racism is defined in the dictionary as:
1.a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2.a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
Racism is not defined as criticism of a public official who happens to be black lying to the American people. It is not defined as criticism of violent acts that occur at the hands of black people. No, those are the leftist, politically correct definitions that seek to prohibit me from criticizing black people for acts clearly wrong by every definition.
I am putting leftist and race-baiters on notice. The term 'racism' means nothing to me. You can call me a racist. You can call me a hater. You can call me the man in the moon. It all means the same to me. But I will not allow you to stifle me from expressing my Constitutionally-protected right to express my opinions and beliefs freely. Especially when your attempts to quiet me play into your diseased political ideology.
Although the man had many personal flaws, AWD believes in the dream Martin Luther King had of a colorblind society where people would be judged on their actions and not the color of their skin. I believe most white people do just that. Liberals, on the other hand, hide behind the race card to prohibit criticism of poor black behavior because they want to isolate blacks from any reasonable criticism.
Blacks should ask themselves if MLK would be proud to know that black males, while making up less than 6% of the US population, commit 51% of violent crimes and murder? Would he be pleased to know that in 2012 over than 70% of black children are born to single mothers? Or that blacks lead other races in dropout rates in school? Is this the struggle for which he gave his life?
White people who voted for black candidates like Mia Love, Allen West, Herman Cain, Tim Scott and many other blacks cannot be rationally or reasonably be called racist for opposing Barack Obama. After all, we didn't support the liberal politics or low ethics of Bill Clinton, either. Hell, AWD didn't support George Bush in the area of fiscal responsibility!
I am not a racist. I believe all races can achieve equally if they make quality life decisions, work hard, and don't engage in stupid behavior. I readily admit that I am a trashist. I don't like trashy people…of any race. That includes white, brown, yellow, black, and any mixture thereof. Act like you have sense and I will welcome you as a friend. Act like a violent, uneducated fool and I will judge you accordingly.
When white people turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to liberals dropping the race card every time a black cloud passes overhead (that would be racist according to liberals), we can, as Americans, reasonably discuss the problems and issues that plague America.
I will no longer entertain the liberal interpretation of 'racism' into the equation. Liberals and black apologists who continuously drop the race card should be criticized and ridiculed as the intellectual buffoons they are.
I refuse to allow Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton do define what I can think, say, do, or write. They and their pathetic ilk mean less than nothing to me. Nor should their opinions matter to anyone of intelligence of any race. I know who and what I am and what I believe and do not seek the sanction of my ideological enemies! Wake up, decent people of America!

In many MMOs, that level gap is not an issue. There are a lot of creative ways to get around the problem, and some MMOs meet players more than halfway. Of course, there are a lot of MMOs that force players into a level-encased tunnel of grind, but today we want to shine some light on some of the ways MMOs help salve the level gap sting.
In many MMOs, that level gap is not an issue. There are a lot of creative ways to get around the problem, and some MMOs meet players more than halfway. Of course, there are a lot of MMOs that force players into a level-encased tunnel of grind, but today we want to shine some light on some of the ways MMOs help salve the level gap sting.
The easiest way to bridge the level gap is to flat out avoid having a level gap in the first place. In a game like PlanetSide 2, a new player can jump in along with his more experienced or veteran friends and be almost as effective as they are. Heck, it's possible that the newbie could be more effective than the veteran thanks to personal skill level, internet connection, or sheer PC power. Lag might do more damage than lack of experience in many cases. Defiance works in much the same way, basing combat more on where someone is pointing the crosshairs than how long she has been playing the game.
There are variables, of course. Even in a sandbox world like Wurm Online or in a shooter like PlanetSide 2, there are ways to "level." PlanetSide 2 has certification points that are earned as a player fights and spends time in the game. Those points unlock new weapons and add-ons. In Wurm Online, players gain levels in specific skills that might give them an advantage over other players in many ways.
The point is that in games that do not completely rely on levels -- like an MMOFPS -- a new player is not "locked out" from content just because she is new. Sure, the new player might be killed more than her more experienced buddy, but at least she'll be able to play without being left behind! In Ryzom, for example, a new player can have access to a healing spell that will actually resurrect a senior groupmate. It might take several minutes, but I've seen newbie healers make all the difference in the world after a high-level player sacrificed himself so that the newbie got to safety. Both levels helped each other.
Social MMOs are not really "games," at least according to the most rabid fans. A social world like Second Life provides no way to "win," so levels do not come into play. There or IMVU are other popular social MMOs that concentrate more on allowing players to get in and meet each other than anything else. Again, though, there is always something to gain by playing the game longer. There actually has skill levels for specific game-related skills like hoverboarding, and Second Life is absolutely filled with player-created games with levels, health, and other RPG trappings. These are optional pursuits, however. Social MMOs are great for meeting new people, exploration, and taking a break from leveling, grinding, raiding, and killing non-stop. Just watch out for drama... it can be more dangerous than any raid boss.
There are also MMOs that allow higher-level players to "step down" to a friend's level in order go on adventures together. City of Heroes was one of the first MMOs to really perfect the "sidekick" option. Its system fit within the comic genre perfectly and allowed veteran players to help out lower-level friends without sacrificing much. EverQuest II and RIFT call their versions "mentoring"; they also give higher-levels players the chance to step all the way down to a lower level. Guild Wars 2 steps your character's level down as you enter into a map, so running around as a nuisance, kill-stealing everyone's fun, is not part of the equation. Better yet, experience and rewards are still good for your true level.
RIFT makes mentoring particularly easy. Right-click on your portrait and step down to any desired level that is at least five levels beneath your own. You can also click on a friend's portrait and match her level. If you are on an instant adventure, you will automatically be leveled to match each other, making for a convenient way to earn experience without going through a lot of trouble. Mentoring in RIFT gives you experience that is equivalent to what you would get while playing as a high-level character. It's a simple solution to the problem of missing content.
Player-vs.-player combat is one of those delicate areas of an MMO where players truly do not want to be bothered with level gaps. Many players want a fair fight, and so more than a few MMOs have dealt with the issue head-on, even when they are not shooters or sandboxes. Following in the footsteps of classic Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 automatically gives you a max level 80 character with full gear and traits after a short tutorial. Jump into PvP and you'll find enemies who could be as new as you. In World vs. World -- massive battles between potentially hundreds of players from three different servers -- health and damage are bolstered so that newer players are not victims of a single shot. Levels and gear in WvW do help out, though.
Star Wars: The Old Republic uses a "bolster" system in PvP, and all players move into combat at level 55. Even equipment is bolstered, empty slots being filled with simple level 55 items. Lord of the Rings Online calls PvP Monster Play. Upon reaching level 10, you can go to a social center and pick from a list of monsters that you are allowed to control on the battlefield. If you are level 80, you can fight as a member of the free peoples, taking the role of Hobbits and others while defending ruins, towns, and castles. It's a somewhat controversial -- if not unique -- approach to the level gap issue.
Of course, there are MMOs that have plenty of leveling to do but also offer so many variable, non-combat activities that there is something for everyone to do together. Mabinogi is called the fantasy life MMO because it has almost everything you might find in real life. Housing, crafting, adventuring, roleplay, and even fashion are intricate systems that encourage players to do something other than fight. RuneScape is known as a grinder's paradise, but the decade-old browser-based, sandpark often releases quests and events that do not require any level at all in order to participate. The game recently hosted a world-wide event in which players decided to fight or gather materials to help out one of two opposing factions. At the end of a designated time period, the "winning" side got to watch how its members' actions impacted the world. Any player of any level could help out.
And don't forget roleplay, exploration and socializing, three things that set MMOs apart from other genres and that are generally available to any player from any experience level in an MMO. There are lots of MMOs that either eschew levels altogether or that host systems that let people from all levels to play together -- these are just sixteen. Add more to our list in the comments!

As for a name, how about "Diane Woodson"?
Sorry for responding so late, but... why Diane Woodson?
No reason... I just thought it would be a good name for her, is all
Ah. Well, I'm actually in the early stages of collaborating on a story where she's a main character, and at first I was calling her Lorna, but right now it's Amanda. I'm still not 100% satisfied with any name I've chosen, but I'm afraid my collaborator will get exasperated if I keep changing it.
Well, did you consider the name I suggested? I think it works...
It's not a bad name, but I forgot all about your suggestion until I was looking at this again recently. I probably dismissed it out of hand when I first read your comment because I have this thing about wanting to maintain control over my characters, which includes naming them myself. I let someone name one of my characters once and came to regret it.
I'd "get physical" with her!
Awww, so she's not a TG'd Richard Simmons?
nice ^^

OTG on the Nexus has open discussions on other forums. I decline to find those but move to something I found to work for me.
I put what I want to access up on DropBox or a WiFi memory card. I hope you know DropBox but here's a WiFi device similar to one I use.
And yes there are cheaper things like that.
Never before had I a chance to use the so called " On The Go " function . I perceived the most advantage of this function during the travel of last week through my friend.In and out of devices ,very convenient. So when I came back, I ordered at once the same item with him , a SD card reader adapter with OTG . ( I bought it after I read the instruction details and affirm its compatibility with my tablet and phone.)
Firstly I use it with my Samsung Galaxy Tab. The item goes well and I can reach my data quickly and completely. Then I plug it into Nexus 5 with the same Micro SD card. My phone sense this "invader" very slowly. Something is wrong with my data. The data on the card are not shown completely. A part of the data disappear.
I have no experience like this. Any possible reasons why this strange phenomenon happened. Any suggestion prefereed !!

US Treasury Curve 1990-2012 In Its Full 3-D Glory: Redux
Just under two years ago, when we mocked then Morgan Stanley's analyst Jim Caron's call for a surge in long-dated yields on the back of an improvement in the economy (not something more realistic like the Fed losing all control of the TSY curve), we penned "Visualizing The Past Of The Treasury Yield Curve, And Deconstructing The Great Confusion Surrounding Its Future" in which we said that contrary to pervasive expectations of a bull steepener, the treasury curve would continue flattening more and more, until the whole thing would become one big pancake. Today, we have decided to revisit that post: in short - Jim Caron was fired by Morgan Stanley as head of rates following 3 consecutive years of bad calls starting in 2009 (only to be rehired in June as a Portfolio Manager... oops), while our view that sooner or later the 2s30s will be 0 bps is over one third complete.
To wit, from August 2010:
The chart below shows the UST yield curve over the past 20 years: as is more than obvious, every single point left of the 10 Year is at record tights. The only question on everyone's lips is where do we go from here. And that is where the confusion really hits.
Of course, it is now obvious what the Fed wants to achieve, as it gets ever close to using the last available nuclear option: outright monetization of every single asset class. The graphic representation of what Bernanke would like more than anything to be the economic reality is presented on the chart below.
We hope that when looking back in 2012 at this post we are proven wrong, as a completely flat yield curve coupled with an economy that is collapsing ever faster, is the surest way to an outright stock market supernova, that will take obliterate all asset levels in a bout of hyperdeflation (for leveraged items), followed by hyperinflation (for items purchasable by banks with discount window access).
It is now 2012, and we can look back. We have not been proven wrong. The 2s30s (or 0s30s - it is all the same now that ZIRP+3 is Fed policy, soon to be +4, +5, etc leaving less and less places on the curve to frontrun) is not 0bps quite yet.... but it is well on its way, and is now 150 bps tighter than it was on August 15, 2010.
Furthermore, our forecast from 2010 for a flat curve is still as follows: "a bout of hyperdeflation (for leveraged items), followed by hyperinflation (for items purchasable by banks with discount window access."
And yes, our conclusion from back then still stands:
The bottom line is now that the Fed is once again actively involved in controlling the curve, and thus risky assets, the result is utter confusion. If two of the biggest investment banks can not agree on something as simple as the shape of the yield curve, how is it that they or anyone else, can have an informed opinion on where assets that return more than 4% (in 30 years) will head in the future. Essentially, uninformed coin flipping is now the best paid occupation in the world.

Too bad the charts were not adjusted for inflation and or taxes.
The yields would be far less than zero then.
Though prior articles today insist that NIRP is not likely, or even going to happen here, I keep thinking back to various countries outright stating that they will not devalue their currency.
Even IF the Fed went NIRP, the spin would be that "investors are seeking the safety of US Treasuries, even at a nominal -2%"
I like them unadjusted better as there's less detail for people to argue over concerning their accuracy.
NIRP i think is a strong possibility wether the Fed intends for its occurrence or not. Investors WILL seek safety, and they WILL go to UST's. Where do yields go under high demand for deficit paper?
Wow! 3D Chart porn......and in color no less.
Still, it looks like all roads lead to the bottom of the cess pool. Or are those just off ramps for the 1%ers?
Looks like something one would see on the floor of the men's room.
I can just make out the imprint of Bernankes shoe from Jan 09 to Jan 12 up to the two year toilet paper.
The Gold fixture holds the soon-to-be-worth-less-and-less toilet paper.
you must bank at the same Chase bank I do. not very soft or absorbent, but it gets the job done!!!
A picture of the reaction to unsustainable debts. Interest rates have to be near zero or the US is bankrupt. This may work for 6 months more.
USA is the new Stockton. Or is it Scranton (everyone at minimum wage)? I would love to see Obama working at minimum wage though that would be overpaying him a bit. That million plus from the richly undeserved Nobel peace prize should be enough.
Reflexivity in action.
But there is no way to sustain the negative real rates because they are DESTROYING CAPITAL. Insurance companies and pension funds will HAVE NO CHOICE but to abandon the bond market in the not-too-distant future. That will mark the end of the "Bond Bull" and also simultaneously set off the derivatives time bomb. That is how this monetary system meets its end.
" Insurance companies and pension funds will HAVE NO CHOICE but to abandon the bond market in the not-too-distant future." That all depends. If the own 10yr and 30yr notes that they purchased before the yield collapse, it will be a while before they will have to roll into something else. Note that about a week or two ago the article that the Fed was having trouble buying long term debt for operation twist, as current holders didn't want to sell.
Many insurance and Pension plans are already underwater since they loaded up in CDOs, mortgages, etc during the bubble. Since there is no Mark to Market accounting, they can hold on to them without recording a loss No matter what they do, they are screwed.
With the global economy falling to recession its possible (but no mean definate) that the US can continue to print for up to a decade more before the dollar begins its fall over the cliff. The EU crisis has years to go before its finally done. While the breakup of the EU could begin later this year, its still going to take years for Europe to sort out the mess and put itself back on track. During which time, foriegn currencies, such as the US dollar will benefit. A major slowdown or recession in Asia will also strengthen the dollar. Its obvious that the Chinese economy is in a Bubble, although its difficult to predict when the Chinese bubble collapses as China gov't clearly manipulates its currency and economy to defer a collapse.
The end of the Great Bond Bull Market will come when the insurance companies & pension funds HAVE TO SELL (whether they want to or not) to raise CASH to pay out contractually promised benefits. And they will probably all have to start selling at roughly the same time. Once this process starts, Game Theory dictates that it will quickly gain momentum and be quite a sight to see.
"HAVE TO SELL (whether they want to or not) to raise CASH to pay out contractually promised benefits."
Not when they can borrow from the Fed nearly directly (discount window) and just use their Mark-to-Fantasy Assets as collateral. See AIG as an example. The Fed just bought up the crap and will continue holds it indefinantly. Should the Bond market start to take (soaring yields), the Fed will set up to the plate and resume QE to infinity.
"Game Theory dictates that it will quickly gain momentum and be quite a sight to see."
That only applies when the rules of the game aren't changed. Technically the Liquidation event already happed in Sept. 2008, but was stopped by the Fed. No reason to believe the Fed will fail to act if another sell off begins. The Fed backstopped more than 25 Trillion in assets. No reason to see them stop at 50 Trillion or even 500 Trillion. If the Fed fails to act, then its game over for the USA as the US gov't would be forced to hard default, Everyone at the Fed will be out of a job (if not hunted by street mobs). The only logical answer is that the Fed goes on printing and backstopping bad assets until the dollar dies.
Behold the event horizon of the debt singularity... L O L
Wow, I didn't realize how flat rates were (but a lot higher) ~ early 1990.
The '90-'12 chart looks like a roll of tinfoil falling down the stairs and rolling onto the floor...
LOL, kinda like an out of control SLINKY!!!!
What? No one wants to buy more debt, based on debt, paid for with debt, and backed by nothing?
gee, why not?
Is your software able to display soon to be expected nominal NIRP territory?
btw: the maturity scale is slighty misleading.
Did the Treasury ever change the system so negative yields were possible? The last I can recall, that the current processing system could not handle negative yields. If they did change the system it would be an interesting, that treasury does intend to offer negative yields.
Very impressive but is there anyway you could depict this graph using a toilet bowl?
Now that you mention it, it DOES look like TP soaked in tidy bowl blue cleaner.
Or at least using toilet paper for the chart.
followed by hyperinflation (for items purchasable by banks with discount window access).
Exactly what are items purchasable by bank with discount window access?
A: Politicians and justice Inc.
Animate that chart....might get seasick.
I think I see Laird Hamilton in there.
There might really be Laird Hamilton waves if the charts went back another fifteen years...
Looks like Santa's list of good kids written on aluminum foil that he had to stuff in his pocket when the reindeer went on strike because the elves were getting bonuses and champagne for overloading the sleigh.
I would consider the stock market as a "leveraged item", no? If so, we have yet to see the hyperdeflation first play out before the hyperinflation.
It's a little scary if Tyler is getting this one right, even if the timing reemains uncertain.
At the very least if we're getting this analysis here from crowd-sourcing, it must stand that TPTB know the same thing. We say every day "their hands are tied" but if they can see this coming I'm relatively certain they are already coming up with counter-meaures that we would today label as "insane".
We just heard today that negative interest rates paid on reserves is "insane". Really?
Confiscating gold is usually poo-pooed as "insane". No doubt it is.
Direct monetization of equities is "insane". Okay fine.
We'll see.

"I destroyed the bond market to save the bond market ."
Benjamin S. Bernanke
If you want a way out....
I've often wondered, given that "Ben" in MENA countries means "son of ...", whether his name is actually the equivalent of "Junior" Bernanke
BENjamim, 'son of my right hand'. Changed from BENoni, 'son of my sorrow.'
Crap ! They didnt even make the chart numbers form a naked woman. What good are they anyway ?
How does anyone fund their retirement when US 10-year Note is yielding 1.45%?
And don't say "Save 25% of your after-tax income every year" because that ain't gonna happen.
Flip 'em to the Fed and buy more?
Clearly a good investment considering price increases for the vast majority of consumer items and necessities are less than 1.45%
You don't. It's all part of the plan to take over 401k and Ira money. We( the government) will secure your retirement funds if you just turn them over to us.
Yes, I suppose they will "promise you an annuity" in return. And since there will be nowhere else to go (since every insurance company will already be bankrupt) the people will gladly accept the offer.
But paper covers rock!
Golden scissors cut paper.
Chart Porn.
What will happen if people suddenly wake up and find the Yuan (or any alternative such as gold, platinum, etc) safer then treasuries as a store of value?
We are now at the point where the opportunity cost for holding non-hypothecated hard assets (e.g., physical) is almost nil. Carrying and storage costs are easily managed. What's the plan to keep people from pusing capital into "non-productive" uses?
These assets must be perceived as risky for the general public by increasing volatility and destroying their repuation as a "safe harbor". But even these efforts seem unlikely to achieve the desired result as any decrease in price is either (i) temporary or (ii) relative since purchasing power is not destroyed.
Anyone worried about confiscation should probably read some of the more recent Executive Orders. At this point any asset, commodity or tangible good can be requisitioned by the federal government; there do not appear to be any meaningful exemptions.
I guess my point is that you're not going to find a hedge in government or corporate paper. Also, we know now that segregated accounts aren't. And we know that anything you own but which is not in your actual possession can be rehypothecated. If you're looking for return on principal, or even return of principal, these charts are more valuable than maritime charts to a sea captain.
The prevailing historically low TSY yields are a global tribute to the solid credit worthiness of the USA and are in no way a result of interest rate manipulation by the Fed or anyone else. The TSY market is simply too big for that.
Gotta log off now, the nurse is coming with my evening meds and Napoleon is screaming in the bed next to mine...
can you highlight the part where Bernanke raised rates 17 times in a row and Cramer had his no idea fit?
How much of that drop is associated with QE twist?
The fed is trying to drive down long term borrowing rates to spur more borrowing.
the 150 bps drop isn't from Joe blow retiree. Maybe a little is from large hedge funds and pensioneers. But I can't imagine anyone that would put a nickle of their money in any government asset. Once Europe blows up, we're next.

In the 1930's and 1940's, there were events and shows taking place in New Bedford and other Cape Verdean communities in the United States to raise funds to send food and other necessities to Cape Verde where thousand were starving to death. So many people were dying that there wasn't enough time to record their deaths and children and infants were the hardest hit.

But the shiny metal is stunning to me. Arden, I remember that you posted about this pic a few weeks ago, not sure if the shiny metal at the bottom was brought up though.
Thanks for having such great topics though!

When looking at the original photo and not Google Earth, the number of pixels and the resolution of the photo pointed to 12 metres, unless I made some mistake in my calculations.
I will look at it again.

At 100% zoom, the "hunter" is 56 pixels (more or less) long, so, at 25 cm per pixel, it translates to 14 metres long.
And its long, not high, because the photo is taken almost vertically, usual in mapping missions, so we are seeing a top-down view.
PS: Google Earth shows 13 metres.

Good value, friendly place
I needed a nights stay and this was great for that.
It's a Pub/restaurant/B/B and it works well in all those areas. I didn't get involved in the food side as I was really tired and just wanted sleep but the breakfast was good.

A Togiak man is in an Anchorage hospital recovering from injuries suffered earlier this week after his clothes were caught on the ball hitch of a pickup that drove off, dragging him for more than a mile.
The man, Rodney Gosuk, 38, was found by another driver without his jacket, shirts or pants on Togiak Heights Road, said Beth Ipsen, troopers spokeswoman.
Ipsen said the driver of the truck that snagged Gosuk initially found him drunk in the backseat of her four-door pickup. The driver asked someone for help getting him out of the truck.
Gosuk was standing behind the truck as the woman drove away, but he grabbed the back of the truck, Ipsen said. That's when his shirt got caught on the ball hitch.
Gosuk was scraped across the icy road with patches of gravel for 1.7 miles, Ipsen said.
Gosuk was flow to Alaska Native Medical Center and is still being treated for his abrasions and bruises, she said.
The temperature hovered around 15 degrees in Togiak on Monday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Troopers are investigating the incident.

Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Pro-Life Dem, to Vote 'Aye'
See the story, here.
See the story, here.
A friend started getting a lot of phone calls on his answering machine the other day. Evidently, his number is remarkably similar to that of Congressman Jim Oberstar, one of the pro-life Dems who was holding out on the health care bill for a different approach to the issue of abortion funding. Rule #1 of lobbying: Make sure you have the right phone number.
The messages were telling. One person who identified themselves as a pro-life voter said the problem with the health care system could be fixed with tort reform. "Kill all the lawyers," he said, not seeing the irony in being pro-life and advocating killing anybody. The calls came from all across the country, not only from the congressman's district.
NBC News is reporting that Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak, the leader of twelve pro-life Democrats who have refused to support the final health care bill until their concerns were met, has decided to vote "yes" on the health care bill. Stupak was in negotiations with the White House and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, working out the details of an executive order that would achieve a result that came closer to Stupak's approach to enshrining prohibitions on the use of federal funds for abortion in a manner reminiscent of the Hyde Amendment. Stay tuned.
Here is a roundup of articles related to divisions in the Catholic community, and among Catholic members of Congress, on the health care legislation the House will consider today.
Here's a quck round up of reports on Pope Benedict's pastoral letter to Irish Catholics issued this morning. NCR senior correspondent John Allen called the letter Benedict's "most comprehensive statement yet on the sexual abuse crisis."
From the Associated Press:
Asked why there were no punitive provisions contained in the letter, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi noted that the letter was pastoral, not administrative or disciplinary in nature, and that any further measures concerning resignations would be taken by the competent Vatican offices.
Benedict's letter addressed only the scandal in Ireland, not the other cases of abuse which have recently come to light in other countries across Europe, including in the pope's native Germany.
Lombardi acknowledged the other cases but said the Irish scandal was unique in its scope and in what the Vatican has already done, noting that the pontiff last month met with Ireland's bishops. But he said that obviously the letter could be read to apply to other countries and individuals.
President Obama held a rally for health care reform today at George Mason University in Virginia. The most compelling part of his message was -- for me, at least -- his appeal to the moral issue of ensuring the common good.
"It's a debate that is not only about the cost of health care," he said. "It's a debate about the character of our country -- about whether we can still meet the challenges of our time; whether we still have the guts and the courage to give every citizen, not just some, the chance to reach their dreams."
That's the gut of the issue… deciding that we as a society will provide everyone, rich or poor, old or young… with the health care they need. It's a vision of the common good, something integral to the Catholic tradition, and many other faith traditions as well.
According to a report at Politico.com, negotiations between the House leadership and Congressman Bart Stupak are still on-going. While it looks increasingly like the Speaker will whip up the necessary votes for the measure, the report says that they want the dozen or so members committed to the Stupak approach to abortion restrictions on board.
I have never doubted that if push comes to shove, Speaker Pelosi would throw her pro-choice allies under the bus if that was what was needed to pass the bill. She did as much in November. But, this raises an interesting specter for pro-health care forces. Will they be willing to jettison their commitment to abortion rights in order to pass the health care bill?
Thus begins Dr. Patrick Whelan's discussion of a study of the Massachusetts health insurance program, Commonwealth Care, upon which the Senate's health care reform bill draws. The study was published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine
Whelan's conclusion: "The recent experience in Massachusetts suggests that universal health care coverage has been associated with a decrease in the number of abortions performed."
Whelan is on the pediatrics faculty at Harvard Medical School and is a pediatric rheumatology specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children in Boston. He is also a member of the NCR board of directors.
Writes Archbishop Charles Chaput on the First Things website today: "If the defective Senate version of health-care reform pushed by congressional leaders passes into law—against the will of the American people and burdened by serious moral problems in its content—we'll have 'Catholic' voices partly to thank for it. And to hold responsible" [emphasis added].
You can find the entire piece here.
The latest "Room for Debate" in the New York Times pays an indirect tribute to the National Catholic Reporter.
All five of those asked to comment on what the Vatican should do about clerical sexual abuse of children are men.
Every one of them is worthy. Each has something valuable to say. By not including a single woman in the mix, however, the Timesreflects a widespread absence of women's voices in the media's coverage of critical church debates.
Excluding women from official church councils has, of course, been standard practice in the hierarchy's exercise of rule. When the Vatican decided to investigate American nuns, for example, nuns weren't consulted in any formal sense. It was done, as usual, by fiat.
For the mainstream media largely to repeat this pattern of neglect has been irresponsible, lending credibility to a bias against women (my interpretation) and furthering it. Occasionally women are asked to join in, but not nearly often enough.

McArdell was fourth in the 110 high hurdles (17.19 seconds), with Sam Smith (17.64 seconds) in fifth place, matching his finish in the triple jump. Cody Young was fifth in the shot put (41' ½") and Greg Lefancheck was sixth in the 400 hurdles.
As that went on, the B'ville girls finished with 113 points, as Liverpool got the league title with 175 points, edging out C-NS (165 points) in a close battle at the top.
Emily Soeder topped herself in the high jump. With a clearance of 5'5", she beat C-NS's Nicole Herringshaw by four inches in the most lopsided field event. Carlie McNamara joined in by winning the discus with a throw of 93'2", with Jesse Wilhelm sixth as McNamara also was fifth in the shot put.
Mackenzie Ross again ruled in the 800, her time of 2:21.89 beating the field by nearly five second as Nicole Piontkowski (2:33.78) slid into fifth place. Rachael Miller was victorious in the 1,500-meter run as she hit the line in 4:57.93, with Mia Bolton (5:18.19) in fifth place.
Gabby Jordan, in 12.74 seconds, and Stephanie Vasteno, in 12.93 seconds, were second and third, respectively, in the 100 sprint, teaming with Cierra Allen and Angelica Tomasello as the Bees were second (50.01 seconds) behind Liverpool (49.58 seconds) in the 4x100.
Allen, on her own, did the 400 hurdles in 1:08.66, putting her second to Liverpool's Ore Akinpelu (1:06.47). Marissa Lathrop was third in the 400 sprint in 1:01.73, while Katie Wicks (1:02.71) got fourth place, and Annie Peterson was fourth (11:04.22) in the 3,000-meter run, with Emily Thompson sixth.
Piontkowski, Peterson, Kim Cushman and Kelley Hull were third (10:30.73) in the 4x800. Meghan Hull ran to third in the 2,000-meter steeplechase (8:05.18) as Hannah Wood took fifth (17.40 seconds) in the 100 hurdles. Elise Seifritz was fifth in the 200 as Melissa Voyer took sixth in the long jump.

Well! This is the actress from Pokemon X And Y, who runs a salon! You can change your appearance too with her help. So this is great everyone. You can finally have customize your trainer with your own look! We finally have a stylist to guide you for your character, enjoy!
She looks beautiful.
Those eyebrows...
Diantha: What about "eyebrows"?
Diantha: What about "eyebrows"?
you are honestly the best for saying that
She is so nice.
She is the champion. I mean look at what they did with iris. They had her appear here and there before her role in the game was finally revealed.
that's amazing.
I just hope her battle theme doesn't suck like alder's battle theme did in black and white.
Oh, no worries on that. She has the second best champion theme (behind Cynthia, of course).
U got that right. The only theme that beats all pokemon themes is Elesa's gym theme from black and white 2.
Forgive me if I sound a little confused, but wasn't the theme for Elesa's gym the same as the one for all of the other gyms?
Official Pokemon League Champion
XD anyone else think she's gonna be the secret champion?
Cameron: Out of curiosity, how do you figure that?
Well, she seemed like she had MUCH more behind her than they were talking about on the website. I mean, they did say you'd encounter her a few times. It's kinda like Cynthia
Yes, exactly. I thought that wouldn't be a surprise.
Well, spoiler alert, IT WAS.
You said she followed the exact same formula of Cynthia. So naturally, it was to be expected, right?
No, No it really wasn't :/ I truly would've even picked SYCAMORE over her as champion
Layne...stop interrupting in MY conversation!
She is.
Gee, thanks for the spoilers, asshole
{Spoilers)She has been confirmed to be the champion of the kalos region.
That Mega Stone necklace though.
yeah... There's something about it...
I have a feeling she might be the champion
Yep I saw it! I KNEW IT I had a feeling when they first introduced her its just seemedsuch a a random moment to reveal her

Mediterranean Quarterly
Volume 24, Number 3, Summer 2013
pp. 56-73
This essay analyzes Cyprus's financial crisis and its potential threat to the eurozone. The focus is on the economic consequences of the terms of the bailout agreement dictated by the Troika or Eurogroup for the Cyprus economy as well as its significance for any future bailouts. Given the insignificant size of the Cypriot economy for the eurozone as a whole, the Cyprus case was treated more as a political exercise and held up as an example for other eurozone members rather than seen as a serious economic threat, while little attention was given to its potential as a precedent for future bailouts.
