A new-look offense for Redskins, RG3?
Kyle Shanahan talks about protecting RG3
By Tarik El-Bashir and Rich Tandler
Countdown to kickoff question 2: Will the Redskins use Robert Griffin III differently?
Robert Griffin III is back. So is Brian Orakpo. In all, the Redskins retained 21 of the 22 starters who led them to the NFC East title in 2012. But that doesn't mean there aren't any potential pitfalls as the new season approaches – because there are. Over the next week, Redskins Insiders Rich Tandler and Tarik El-Bashir will identify and examine seven areas of concern going forward.
One of the most discussed topics entering the NFL season has been whether RG3 will run less and pass more in 2013, given that the Redskins' quarterback is coming off a second ACL surgery on the same knee in four years. As a rookie, he led all quarterbacks in rushing yards (815) and was second in carries (120), while ranking only 25th in pass attempts. What are those numbers going to look like 17 weeks from now? Everyone's dying to find out.
EL-Bashir: A lot has been a lot said on this subject over the past eight months. But I always go back to a couple of interviews in late May. RG3's father told The Washington Post's Dave Sheinin, "I just know that based on what I know Robert can do, he doesn't have to be a runner as much as I saw last year. …I'm his dad—I want him throwing that football, a lot. A lot." A day later, RG3 responded with a cautiously worded "It's not something I agree or disagree with …" If you read between the lines, it's pretty clear that the Griffins don't want him to carry the ball 120 times in 2013. And I also think the Shanahans are shrewd enough to acknowledge the Griffins' wishes, find a happy medium and still win football games. I've said all along that I don't expect the Redskins to completely revamp their offense. RG3 will still run the ball, just not as much. In fact, I'd be surprised if Griffin's rushing numbers approach half of his 2012 totals. I'll also be shocked if his pass attempts aren't closer to middle of the pack.
Tandler: The Redskins led the NFL in yards per play and in rushing yards so you wouldn't think that Mike and Kyle Shanahan would be inclined to reinvent the wheel here. But what if they need to keep the car from crashing and the driver from getting hurt? Both Shanahans say that the read option is the best option for keeping RG3 safe. They also both say that Griffin needs to make sure that he protects himself by going out of bounds and sliding. So, just copy and paste the 2012 playbook to 2013, right? Not necessarily. Even if RG3 had remained healthy and upright all year Mike and Kyle would still have to deal with other teams spending their offseasons picking apart the Pistol formation and read option to find weaknesses to exploit. They will see different schemes and tactics against them so they will have to alter the Redskins' approach as well. What that means exactly for RG3 remains to be seen. The best guess is that we will see some new wrinkles but the basic concept of the offense operating out of the Pistol formation with a liberal dose of read option plays is not going to change.
Countdown to Kickoff
- Question 7: Is offensive line depth a concern?
- Question 6: Are the Redskins better at safety with Rambo and Meriweather?
- Question 5: Can defenses stop the Redskins' read option
- Question 4: Can Orakpo help make the Redskins pass rush a disruptive force?
- Question 3: Can Garçon be a 1,000-yard receiver?
- Question 1 Monday: Is RG3 100 percent?

Ryan Phillippe has lost $1.175 million on the sale of his bachelor pad.
The 38-year-old actor - who has two children Ava, 13, and Deacon, 10, with his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, and a two-year-old daughter Kai with his ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp - sold his Los Angeles mansion, which has been on the market since 2010, for $6 million recently after dropping his original asking price of $7.5 million.
The 'Damages' star bought the property, located on the Sunset Strip, for $7.175 million in 2008 in the months following his split from Reese after eight years of marriage.
The 7,600 square-foot property overlooks the city's skyline and boasts five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms and features a 60-foot long pool with a state of the art underwater sound system, according to real estate website Redfin.com.
The "Zen modern retreat" also features a large two-floor master suite with a gym, a home cinema, chef's kitchen and spa, as well as several outdoor entertaining spaces and a sauna.
Ryan - who also previously dated 'Les Miserables' star Amanda Seyfried - is regularly spotted cheering on his children at their school sports days with his ex-wife Reese.
The 'Water For Elephants' star recently welcomed a son called Tennessee with her new husband Jim Toth.

I still find it difficult to do street photography, and I've been trying for a few years, now. Give me a landscape or an empty building and I forget all about time. Nevertheless, the photographs that I like best from other photographers are those of people.
It's just that it's difficult not to feel self-conscious taking photographs in public. The other day, walking through Inverness looking for the fleeting subject, I saw the play of light on a derelict (as they all seem to be) hostel across the street. I hesitated as usual, but then I caught sight of another photographer a few paces away raising his big black DSLR to his eye and thought "while he's doing that no one will notice me", so I quickly got my camera out (a little Dynax 5) and took a couple of shots. Imagine my surprise when I read this lovely piece of writing by http://erickimphotography.com/blog/2011/05/leica-rangefinder-for-street-photo…posted on the Leica Camera Facebook wall:
Here's an excerpt where he's writing about that same experience: "In order to catch candid moments, I don't need to be invisible, I just have to be less obvious than the people around me." …fantastic insight.
I still have to send off that film for processing, but this is one I took a while back.

nomads and wildmen
Another suggestion..
Big one first - how about a race which does not build cities but has a nomadic type lifestyle, therefor they would have wagons instead of houses, and would probably rely on warfare/looting for much of their gear - this might need a really big map to pull it off well.
Similarily would some unexplored areas be inhabited by 'wildmen' who might join/need to be defeated before that area can be exploited/settled?
I don't like the idea of the nomads... it would severly cripple the aspect of "siege", and would be hard to defend it. Balancing would be hard, and the prospect of not having a base that builds up in mmo but just getting more wagons won't appeal to many.
If anything, it should be for the economy for nomads. You could allie yourself with them and trade.
I'm not sure If the orcs build strongholds or just make conquest lands fit for nought but orcs but In all other respects would they not fill the role of nomads.
It would be very easy to attack them, why? Here:
Weak buildings since they travel alot.
Low defenses.
Low siege weapons.
I don't think think that a nomad is good for a game with war in it.
Maybe as a light defense or a kind of human warning beacon. :p
Yea, like a decoy... the nomads die while you find out what position our enemy is at...
Lol Amazonia Women faction... that would be funny
(Not totaly sure, things may change.)
There are creeps, AI camps and bandits, rouge orc hordes, an alone Ogre guarding junk it's collected, or it may guard a few gold mines even. There will be many things to fight and kill all over the map.
We will also have probibly some quests for you to do that can be very fun while you build your massive empire.

As Bonds Are Proven Right Once Again, Is 400 The Next Stop For The S&P?
Once again it seems Japan has a lot to teach the Europeans and Americans of the unstoppable reality that bond markets again and again are "correct in the 'end'". As risky- and 'non'-risky-assets become more scarce (thanks to a central bank bid to monetize or collateralize any and all of it), so equity (and risk) markets become more and more distorted - temporarily suspending normal market relationships - until something triggers the reversion to reality. We discussed regime changes in detail regarding gold and bonds over the past 40 years in the past, but the US and European 'survival' tactics appear to be accelerated (and larger) versions of Japan's balance-sheet-recession-fighting game-plan. Their analog, therefore, provides defensible insight into the bond market's anticipation and equity market's inevitable confirmation that it's not different this time. The question we ask is this: "when TOPIX was at 1800, and JGBs implied it 'should' be 1000 (in 1999 and 2007) - how many people said it was 'different' then?"
Japan's 10Y JGB yield vs TOPIX - hope cometh slow and fadeth fast...
US 10Y vs S&P 500 - we have seen one 'hope' era fade back to bond's reality; will it occur again?
and will the German DAX (relative to Bunds here) also revert back to reality?
We assume the answer is 'but, but, but, it's different this time'...

A bond is worthless without trust, trust being a commodity losing ever more value.
Cotton Traders May Have Reneged on 20% of Contracts, WSJ Says:
Cotton traders may have reneged on or rewritten 20 percent of contracts since 2010, worth as much as $12 billion, the Wall Street Journal said, citing Terry Townsend, executive director of the International Cotton Advisory Committee.
In this day and age no one gives a shit about property rights, repaying a mortgage or student loan, or respecting contract law of any kind. It's no wonder society is denegrating to it's lowest common denominator.
Change We Can Believe In.
I got "change we can believe in". Buy PM's.
They just don't have any value in the world coming.
Oil scarcity defines the world coming. That means food transport can't be more than a few miles. Gold just won't be interesting to people who live farther than that from food.
I know the gold folks here are focused, but they just haven't thought it through to the post Peak world.
There is no peak oil. Russia pumps the most oil out of the ground now thanks to deep well drilling. BP tried it in the Gulf and the pressure got away from them. They are trying it again in Alaska. There will be no shortage of oil, except that maybe it will be artificially held back until the oil companies get the price they want. Gold is and always will be precious in tough times followed by food and energy.
You might want to study up some on Russian drilling.
Their presently producing wells have an output rate declining about 9%/yr. That's what happens to wells that have been outputting 50 years. They do a death spiral.
Russia drills 6,000, repeat, 6,000 wells every year to try to cut that 9% number back.
There is a word for that drilling. That word is "frantic".
If oil was abundant, there would be no need for Russia to do deals with Exxon to drill in the Arctic. They could just sit back and let the presently flowing wells continue to flow at present rates forever. The fact that they don't do that says those wells are in fact in decline. Every one of those new 6000 each year starts to decline after just a year or three. Those 6000 each year then start to sum all those declines and new discoveries simply can't overwhelm that summed decline.
This is what "frantic" does.
Just print more oil!
The easy to get to oil is declining, but deep well drilling will more than make up for it in the long run. Oil is not scarce and the ability to get to the deeper oil is developing. The Russians are consulting with Exxon principally because they've done deep well drilling longer than anyone and know how to handle the excessive pressures that can be expected at those depths. That cooperation is a good thing. Deep well oil is not scarce and we've not even begun to tap that. Don't react to the propaganda, the facts say otherwise.
Sure, it will "make up" for some of the lost oil production. But is will be exponentially more expensive. There are numerous reasons why delivering that oil is considerable more expensive.
now tell me, what are wages looking like again?
The tehnology being used on these new deep wells is incredible. The payoff and the amount of delivery far exceeds the costs. That said, I still think the oil companies will still have high costs in the near term before these technologies become more common. We are in a new era in oil production with the deep wells, but I agree for now the costs will still be much higher to our pocketbooks.
It's not so black and white: Doug Casey on Peak Oil
Doug says the "easy to get to oil" is declining. On that I agree. He's not talking about getting to the deep well oil, which is abundant but harder to refine and get to at this point. Technology and procedures will lead us to getting to more of the deep well oil. Oil is not scarce, just our abilities to get to it easily. Obviously we've picked most of the low hanging fruit and now we'll work just a bit harder to get the resources.
Quoted from your link:
"Peak Oil doesn't mean we run out of oil – only that the cost of production, which now often runs about $40 per conventional barrel and up to $80 per unconventional barrel, all-in, is never going back down to where it was. "

Casy has it right. No such thing as peak oil, only peak oil at a certain price level. We're way past peak oil at $50 a barrel but not at $150. And we'll never run out, the price will simply rise to a point where it's uneconomic to use it anymore.Then we slowly (probably over several decades) move to other energy sources.
And how are you going to pay for your oil? Uh....Uh....Uh.... Yeah, I thought so.
Pay for it?
Why would you pay for something you cannot have?
Yes but...yes but...if the prices of both (equity and FI) are manipulated and fixed by central planning, then which is more reliably "right", or at least "right" on the ZH timeframe? With ZIRP/NIRP, bonds could be "right" for a long time to come. But equities, for the moment anyway, are bid by the Chairsatan.
Going higher in the capital structure has been the traditional response...except if you're a GM or Greek bondholder that is.
Christ I think I'm concluding that I should dig up my front lawn and plant potatoes...
Don't dig up anything. trash can potatoes are much easier. Take an old trash can, put about eight inches of soil in the bottom with a spud, water and add soil as the spud grows. withing six months you will have a trash can full of potatoes.
Potatoes? Go with soybeans. The Chinese are in dire need.
Trash can taters -- great idea. With some caveats, hints, and suggestions:
We should have guessed that your ears would perk up as soon as the talk turned to food in garbage cans, you trash night curbside hooligan you!
Sho 'nuff! Best of both worlds!

Shit gets real when real goods and services stop crossing borders. Same as it ever was.
There is a lot more there than the WSJ would put out.
Some of these grower hedges and contracts were probably written by now dead or BK people thanks to Monsanto.
The Vidarbha Janandolan Samiti farmers advocacy group has approached the local state Govt. of Maharashtra to arrange a high level probe of all complaints received from farmers of west Vidarbha where more than 10,000 cotton farmers have committed suicide since June 2005 after the introduction of the killer Bt cotton seeds in this region. Monsanto officials beaten up by Cotton farmers as Bt.cotton seed failed
"When news of a Monsanto senior official's arrival from Mumbai reached the nearby village of Munjala, cotton farmers of the village Karanji, about 140 K.m. from Nagpur located the Monsanto official and took him to their field where a complete failure of 'Paras Sudarshan' Bt cotton seed was shown to him.
When the Monsanto representative failed to admit the lapse, he was severely beaten up by the farmers.
It was reported that even a local agriculture officer did not come to his rescue."
es verdad?
Here's your change
Kroft: Why have no banking executives been prosecuted?
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7418520n&tag=contentBody;storyMediaBoxThe case against Lehman Brothers
CONVICTED: Bush 1300+, Clinton 1000+, Obama 0.0 (+/-)
I agree with you except for the last line as I don't see the tie. I would agree that Obama reinforced the lost in trust and rule of law through various acts such as the GM bankruptcy bailout. But I can't say that wouldnt' have happened if Obama wasn't President. That would be making the same FALSE argument that democrats use saying they saved X number of jobs with the GM bailout. But you can't prove that, you can't prove a negative. Who is to say that if GM had gone through a normal bankruptcy, some other company wouldn't have bought the assets and hired many of those workers and dispensed with the pensions that could still take the company down. And I am totally against Obama. Never voted for him, never will.
Holy shit.
1) S&P 500 will never hit 400. We'd be crtl+p'ing it back up. Whatever it takes -- too much money is tied to S&P500 performance.
2) How much worse than 2008 would this be? Who on the street would even survive that much of a fall?
It certainly is possible, and much lower. If the U.S. Peso collapses there will be a panic to pull all remaining so-called money from the markets and put it into hard assets. It won't matter if Bernanke is Ctrl+Peeing himself to multiple orgasms.
...thanks for the imagery! I still think Tyler's "Federally-Issued Toilet Paper" is both the most derogetory and clever way to describe the "US Peso".
I dont' get it. So you're saying assets collapse and people start pouring more good money after bad? How did that work out during the recent housing crash? I think your argument is based on the bad assumption that the FR will destroy itself in the process.
The Great depression was a good time to have cash and a great time to buy assets WHEN THEY BOTTOMED.....but it took about 20 years and a WW to recover. I see the same scenario unfolding.
My target is a '94 512TR for <$40k. If that's not the bottom, at least i'll be a happy cruiser.
Where did I say that "assets collapse"? I said the collapse of the U.S. Peso, which will mean any paper so-called asset, which are not hard assets. No matter what happens to the U.S. Peso a hard asset will always have value, just not denominated in U.S. Pesos.
During The Great Depression the U.S. Dollar was backed by gold, and people knew and understood this; even though it was no longer convertible as of April 1933. People understood gold and understood that their money was backed by gold.
Don't you think there will be a correlation between the equity markets and hard assets (assuming you mean houses, gold, silver, toilets etc). Given enough time, there always is.
Between 2006-20011;
40% housing crash
50% S&P dump
50% Silver smack
25% Gold crush
So what remained resilient? USD, US bonds. What has recovered since? Equities and a light sprinkling of Ag and Au. Do you think you will be better off repeating the same mistakes?
PS Gold backing means nothing. $'s can still be devalued and the so called treasury gold (really FR gold) is never in the publics possession.
Why do you assume that there will be "equity markets", or formal markets of any kind? Why are you attempting to use historical data that would possibly have no relevance to such a unique situation as a total collapse of the Reserve Currency? The U.S. Dollar did not collapse in The Great Depression. Why do you reference the "crush" of gold, which was paper gold? If the U.S. Peso collapses, all the paper gold, derivatives gold, etc. will have no value. Physical gold would finally be freed from all the paper fraud. Silver the same. The point being that one must stop thinking PAPER.
I think you're making the biggest assumption here and that is the USD will collapse. I totally disagree with you there but that's OK.
Convertibility of physical assets is still important in regard to valuation. Your one ounce of gold and silver is still that but how do you evaluate its value? Unless you plan on holding them forever and risk another beating (only my opinion), then they will need to be converted (liquidated) some day otherwise they will always remain weights and masses.
It is what you either don't understand or refuse to acknowledge: Gold & silver are money
In what world? Trust me i understand the concept of money but more importantly, I understand the real market. Again, one day you will need to convert it and I don't see any time in the near future where "the market" will accept gold and silver as an equitable means of exchange. It's only my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a proponent of big government or the FR but I've come to the realization that it's too big to fight....for now. I think I also understand and accept it's objective and that is self preservation and protection of it's member banks. A USD collapse will wipe it out and I see no evidence that it's on its way to do so. IMO, the FR will destroy everything in its way to preserve it's largest asset, FRN's.
China and India are already using gold to buy oil from Iran, and you don't see it as being thought of as a means of exchange "any time in the near future"?
Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran......all had the same idea. Will US go to war with India and China?, maybe or better still, collapse their economies from inside out. As much as I hate the status quo, I think it will still be here for a long time to come.
There is an old saying of which I know you are cognizant: Timing is everything.
The Federal Reserve was established in 1913 with a one-hundred year charter. It expires next year and unless it is renewed the Federal Reserve goes into history's dustbin.
All polling of the American people indicates that they want the Federal Reserved abolished, even though the vast majority can not intelligently explain it nor its so-called monetary system. There is no way that Congress can renew its charter. So, is it not interesting that we find ourselves in this monetary crisis with the U.S. Peso hated around the world and residing on the abyss? Is it also not interesting that for all practical purposes the Federal Reserve is bankrupt, its balance sheet a friggin' disaster?
The point being is that this was all contrived/planned long ago. The owners of the private corporation known as the Federal Reserve are well-positioned for its demise.
Timing is everything and the end of 2012 has been their target for one-hundred years.
Watch for a total collapse in October with a "postponement" (i.e. cancellation) of Elections 2012.
Just my opinion...
"All polling of the American people indicates that they want the Federal Reserved abolished...There is no way that Congress can renew its charter."
What, do you think Congress actually does the will of the people? Nice thought, but....
It was stated in the context of a U.S. Peso collapse.
Much silliness in one post. First of all, there is no expiration date for the Federal Reserve "charter". Go read 12 U.S.C. § 341 for yourself. Even if it did have an expiration, Congress would surely renew it. The Federal Reserve isn't going anywhere in 2013 or anytime soon. Second, I would guess that you haven't done very much international travelling, because the U.S. dollar is not "hated around the world". In fact, it's gladly accepted in many countries alongside the national currency (for example, in the country where I am living). It's also used as the national currency of some other countries such as Panama and Ecuador, as well as the unofficial currency in others. Significantly, it was the U.S. dollar that the Zimbabwe economy turned to using when their native currency collapsed in a hyperinflation. Yes, the dollar's purchasing power is being steadily eroded, and sooner or later it may collapse and become worthless. But to say it is "hated" around the world now is simply false. You can exchange a fistful of dollars for goods and services in more places on Earth than any other currency. I am no fan of the Federal Reserve, nor of the U.S. government, and I do hold physical PM, but truth is truth whether you like it not.
1) There is much discourse by many authors, not forums/chatrooms, as to whether or not there is a 100-year expiration. Some claim that there have been so many amendments that it is not all that clear.
2) Under the circumstances of a collapse, to which I alluded, Congress would probably not go against the wishes of an extremely upset public with real potential for violence
3) I don't care if you can purchase something from a merchant in a foreign country, and it has been well-documented with reports that many foreign businesses are refusing dollars. I am referencing the hatred at the geopolitical level (e.g. Russia, China, et.al.) where decisions are made. America has abused its duty as holder of The Reserve Currency, and from that comes the hatred in wanting to replace it.
In the case of Zimbabwe, while the government turned to the U.S. Dollar, it was well documented that many refused to use it and demanded physical gold for transactions.
Try looking beyond YOURSELF!
The US dollar was not the worlds reserve currency in the depression.
The pound sterling still was,even after going off the gold standard
in 1925.Uptil WWII is still was,with a captive Empire to keep it so.
The dollar became the de facto reserve currency in 1939 and it was
formalised at Bretton Woods.
The debts of wars,WW! to start,and WWII finally killed it.Plus the demographic
shifts caused by losing an entire generation on Flanders fields.
Sound familar, or is it just rhyming.
government shill alert.
why would gold and silver get smacked this time around?
you calling me a shill? just relax with that bully tactic and read what i'm saying.....and if you think gold and silver are not manipulated, then maybe you should speak to jesse.
Wow I couldn't ask for a more tangental, scarecrow response. Never said Ag/Au weren't manipulated, but thank you for proving my point that you are desperately trying to hide yourself as a "pro PM poster".
yeah I am calling you a gov't shill because you're peddling a dangerous piece of info -> hold US bux.
Black Swan=liquidity crisis.
Ref: http://www.the-privateer.com/1933-gold-confiscation.html
FDR had pegged the new value of gold at $35 oz. and at the time, while the entire Nat'l Debt was ~ $22.5 bn. [no off-balance sheet ?]
Fast forward to 9/2012 and our Nat'l Debt is ~ $15.9Trillion! ... with an off-balance sheet of ~ $100 Trn +/+!!!
During the past 79 years, our Nat'l [1933-2012] Debt regarding 'Physical Gold' has increased from $35 > $1700... or as I demonstrate here using simple arithmetic with my sole inference being directly correlated to '1933/ $22.5bn' vs. '2012/$15.9tn' --- a 707 times increase *[$15.9tn/$22.5bn] which would make the true intrinsic value of physical gold roughly worth ~$25k/oz., rather than the measly $2k/oz they predict.
But, that's me? This will never, ever happen,... but physical gold could easily hit $5k/oz in realistic terms once the EU and BRIC's start to unravel.
thankyou tyler
S&P 400 has been my target since this mess began. We have 30 years of debt based growth we have pulled forward. Now it's time to pay the piper.
I can only guess here, but many people have observed the similarity of the present situation to Japan's in the 90s, with artificial gov't stimuli, the lack of true growth, and subsequent collapse of equities. I've felt that we've been running on fumes for too long, and I don't see how it can continue. Maybe the chart to look at is the Nikkei.
1) S&P will hit 400, the question is when. Never say never. It's like all those Ph.D. economist that missed the housing bubble and think a depression could never happen again.
2) It will be much worse obviously. People would survive. I suggest you do a little history research on the last depression. The very same sentiment appeared back then - it can't happen, then it does. It will last forever, how will we survive.
It's all cycles.
Someone please shoot bearish Tyler.
[In reference to the movie, not litterally of course]
Just ignore the tough crowd. Some of us have a unique DNA gene sequencing fingerprint. We're not well liked.. LOL
Just for shits and giggles.. You'll see desperation ensue at levels you never imagined.. Grab your popcorn

In Mutual of Omaha's Wild Thingdom, a new TV show about the creatures and vermin which inhabit Wall Street, one of the Tylers will be playing the Marlin Perkins role as the show's host.
When they run the episode showing the wild AnAnnoying Mouse of China in its natural roadside habitat, please let me know in advance. I understand that it is quite a parangong of offuscationalizingisticalism and animalistic shitizenism, and is the only creature known to exist solely on algebraic coconuts.
Is the implied correlation between the two the risk-on/risk-off nature between stocks and bonds... i.e., if markets go down, yields should go down since money is leaving equities and going into bonds and vice versa?
At least in a world without money supply shocks. Because people have an aggregate risk tolerance, some of that money has to go to different places, and the price of those assets has to reflect supply and demand.
Of course, with the Fed in the mix buying up bonds, there is a demand in-balance as even people with low risk tolerances can't buy US TSY because of negative real yields.
You're referring to a parallel universe in which invisible hands aren't pulling puppet strings in an effort to centrally plan prices and economic activity.
In the world we live in, a central bank can buy a sovereign nation's bonds AND by extension via primary dealer proxy also buy, or support, equity prices. The side-effect of such action is excessive liquidity which finds itself in areas it wouldn't normally be, for example energy or food prices.
As much as people have this visceral hallucination that we live under a capitalistic paradigm, nothing could be further from the truth.
Chaos theory suggests it is not possible to predict the lay of the land following the crash.
It could be different this time. With Germany and the U.S. you're getting to the core of the trans-Atlantic banking system. So, with "open ended" central bank intervention on everyone's lips an ultimately rising rate environment only eventually should bring equities to be crushed. Yet probably not right away, as the reflex "risk on" should take stocks still higher notwithstanding rising rates, the likes of which mightl be explained away a la "risk on." Rising rates certainly have been the initial result of QE1 and 2. Yet in an "open ended" intervention environment, once physical decimation brought about by higher rates sets in (bond vigilantes), the equity index targets you've indicated should be a slam dunk.
>Rising rates certainly have been the initial result of QE1 and 2.
QE1 and QE2 bought bonds, dropping T-rates..
Wrong, QE = rising rates! Why? ==>> In market perception, this is positive for growth/inflation so people sell bonds, buy stocks. Yes it is counterintuitive, but this is what happened (and will happen).
Exactly correct.
"Free money" has investors dropping bonds to get in on the ramp in equities. The whole idea is to have the market raise rates for the Fed, so they don't have to look like the Ogre, making Mom and Pop's savings worth less and less. Jawboning will work...until it doesn't.
Only now, the US ten year yield has turned her nose back toward sub-1%. I don't know if this scares the bejeesus out of Dr. Bernanke but he sure acts like he's horrified of that consequence. Unfortunately for him, he's correct in that he's getting less and less bang for our bucks in the Risk category, as he has stated repeatedly over his last ten speeches. He knows he's got one bullet left and he had better be right on target.
Well, what you said was right except for the comma.
QE1 and 2 bought bonds. Rates fell. Not necessarily connected as evidenced by no QE for 15 months now and rates keep falling.
Rates are falling because of zero growth induced deflation and abject European terror looking for safety.
Mostly it's the absence of growth -- induced by relentless and grinding oil scarcity.
That's true, too, that rates are generally falling. It is a deflationary world, after all. Bonds know this, so the Fed tosses them a balloon once in a while to entertain themselves (QE...), hoping that bond yields won't crater too fast. As even Bernanke has said, the relative entertainment value of said balloon bopping is losing its appeal.
In the immortal words of RadioHead: gravity always wins.
have a low hanging apple to keep the doctor away; then make the others into tarte tatin. You will be surprised, gravity feels less leaden-healed with tarte tatin as desert.
Very interesting chart Tyler(s). Do you have a view of the US 10Y v S&P500 that goes back farher than 1999? I would be interested in seeing if this "catch-up" to bonds has been "normal" behavior over a longer time period. Is the reverse possible, i.e. US 10Y catching up to the S&P 500?
While I agree in principle, I would not bet on when the 'return to normal' will happen. Could start any day now, or could take 5 more years. In this game you really can't win, prefer to stick my money in tangilbe assents.
tyler i think the previous poster has made an important point re why do you believe when doing relative value analysis between asset classes, that one is correct and the other incorrect? it could well be that bonds are wrong and equities are right? in my experience equities are quicker to price in new information just because they are more liquid & more people trade equities.
that's funny
Indeed.... Fixed Income is always, i repeat always, right. Why? Those investors are in general 1) more quantitatively skilled, and therefore are better in doing analysis 2) have a better macro view 3) the fixed income markets are way bigger than the equity markets, at least double the size.
I wonder who the anonymous coward is that trolled through and down arrowed every post?
What a loser.
Absaf#ckinlutely but it's actually about 3x
+1 for you
Ha, yes bond prices are absolutely right.....the u.s. is a f-ckin rock of fiscal stability, a beacon of balance sheet beauty....a real AAAAAAA rated country with near zero risk.......and therefore its 10 year yield is clearly reflective of that.............heres an idea....ALL THE MARKETS ARE WARPED, RIGGED, MANIPULATED AND NOBODY KNOWS WTF THEY ARE DOING ANYMORE..........
It's not about the fiscal situation, just a matter of supply and demand in a deflationary environment with ample liquidity... Inflation (and growth) are low and will be low for the foreseeable future (at least a few years), so rates should be low even if there was no central bank intervention. Actually i think the 10y yields would already be below 0,5% if central banks had not acted at all... Too much money chasing too little "safe" assets. Yes, US is sort of broke, but other countries are more broke or dont have enough bonds to absorb the liquidity... (check rates of safe havens denmark/sweden/finnish/suisse/etc.). It's an ugly contest and US is (for now) not winning...

Nothing gets priced in other than the computer's deisre to defeat the opponent's computer.
We live in a ±1 skewed system. +1 equities on hope -1 bonds. Color me -2.
In the end game, when every debt instrument which hasn't defaulted is owned by some government, are they still worth anything at all?
How many times can this story be re-ran here?
Uhm - about as many times as there are new data points. Those pretty pictures are called graphs. I'm assuming commentary will continue until the trend/correlation breaks/converges.
OK, SPX 400. Got it. Roger that.

It is genetic -- repeating same mistakes.
Most people tend to learn from their mistakes and avoid making the same blunder twice. Now research reveals a genetic mutation that helps to determine the extent to which certain people are doomed to repeat history.
Drug addicts, alcoholics and compulsive gamblers (and Wall Street banksters) are known to be more likely than other people to have this genetic mutation, which leaves them with fewer receptors of a certain type in the brain. These receptors — called D2 receptors — are activated when levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine drop.
Dopamine is responsible for signalling fun and pleasure in the brain. But dopamine also helps us learn. When we make a pleasurable decision, dopamine is a chemical treat, urging the brain to repeat the choice. Being deprived of such a treat should theoretically activate D2 receptors and encourage people not to make that same decision again.
it's always different till proven to the contrary.....
Seriously? Does anyone believe the treasury market is revealing anything other than the yield curve the Fed wants to feed zombie banks unearned profits?
If we are to believe the gold/dow ratio will revert to the mean, this can't bode well for gold prices in the short term. I tend to look at it as how much printing will occur after a reset, not leading up to it.
Way too many mutual funds created over the last 30 years caused by all that credit expansion. As with the banks.
Both mutual funds and the number of banks need to be reduced substantially. What happens when you financialize the economy and you don't produce anything except transactions.
If one picture is worth a thousand words, then three pictures must be worth at least three thousand words.
Call me Mr. Thicky, but I do not see how you get from bond prices to S&P 400? Is there a HUGE chunk of the article missing?
Why suddenly mention this now - has something happened in the last 24 hours to make such an S&P crash close?
The answer is pretty simple. If the lemmings don't buy the shit globalist's are off loading, investors sell off the shares due to poor upcoming sales forecast. It has a rippling effect on the entire globalization infrastructure. 2 + 2 always equals 4.
The correlation (bullish bonds, bearish stocks) is a transitory and artificial phenomena which can persist for decades (or not exist for decades). Bonds have been rising since the late 1970s, stocks along with them for first thirty years. I could argue that if bonds were crashing that too would be bad for stocks in this present environment. There are no markets, all are manipulated, therefore there can be no meaningful correlation. What you are looking at is merely a central bank induced mirage.
I hear you. The worst part is that we have average Joe "non professionals", otherwise known as 401K "dumb money", is forced to speculate in these phony markets. Once that tap is dry, the game is over....until they forcefully "tax" ya and call it retirement contributions.
I think you're right on this dude. bonds and equities correlation can converge and diverge for long periods of time. Additionally remember that the FED is buying treasuries as part of qe so bonds prices are obviously going to continue to rise. The fact that stocks are also rising is unsurprising since money injected by fed as part of qe is finding its way into the stock market. So Tyler we are not operating in normal market conditions, in a qe driven environment surely this behaviour is to be expected and we can not simply take it as a signal that bonds are right and equities are wrong and that a correction is imminent unfortunately. Wild appreciate your view on this Tyler (noted your amusement at my previous comment lol the reason I'm interested in this is that I used to do multi asset research in a previous job and looked at credit vs equity markets .. v dangerous in my opinion to make market calls on this basis)
Interestingly enough this action actually does indicate an underlying weakness in the equities market. Central bankers drive bond rates lower in an attempt to support stock prices. What TD implies as a correlation when stock prices eventually nosedive is actually just reality finally winning out.
When qe ends I'm sure equities will fall, the question is when will qe end? If benanke does qe3 mid September the stock market will surge and bonds yields will be squeezed even tighter .. this could keep on running for a while.
.. but anyway (off topic) Will there be or is their now (for those that prefer to secure their savings in gold but who, like the "American Pickers" tv show for example need cash occasionally to buy and flip assets) lenders against gold collateral in this 0% rate world ? Some folks want to borrow short term against gold to buy and flip but then quickly retire the loan and get their gold back less the fees/rate on the loan. You would think there would be a market for loans some where between 0% treasuries earn and the 60% pawn brokers charge no? Maybe these business already exist?
Why do I get the feeling there are one or more complete morons trolling ZH today dishing out minuses willy-nilly?
The charts shown make sense. The only "little" difference I see today is that we now have to face lunatics like BB and Draghi.
"bonds....."are correct in the end". The end being the key words to this post. Not if, but when. Not before November, that is for sure.
Nothing is "for sure".
I am shocked, just shocked, absolutely shocked that this time wouldn't be different. Shocking.
Bullshit. Major Bullish. Like before Peter North does his thang.
I don't really really have anything to add, just wanted to see if I get a random minus rating or if the culprit has been worn down by the banality of their actions.
Really interesting charts. Please update them periodically so we can see how the prediction is playing out.

Article: Body segment lengths and arm span in healthy men and women and patients with vertebral fractures[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We studied 112 healthy men and 261 healthy women aged 18-92 years, and 34 men and 73 postmenopausal women with vertebral fractures aged 45-90 years to determine (i) whether patients with vertebral fractures have shorter stature before fracture, and (ii) whether the difference between arm span and standing or sitting height can be used to identify patients with fractures. Arm span was measured by using a calibrated extended ruler. Standing height, sitting height and leg length were measured by using a Holtain stadiometer. The results were expressed in absolute term and standard deviation (SD) or Z-scores (mean+/-SEM). Advancing age was associated with decreased sitting height (r=-0.37 to -0.41, both P<0.01) and a trend towards decreased arm span (r=-0.12 to -0.17, P=0.06 and 0.07) in healthy men and women; leg length was independent of age in both sexes (r=-0.09 to -0.12, NS). In patients with vertebral fractures, sitting height was reduced in women (Z=-0.83+/-0.14 SD, P<0.01) and men (Z=-1.37+/-0.21 SD, P<0.01) but only the women had reduced leg length (Z=-0.46+/-0.15 SD, P<0.01) and arm span (Z=-0.76+/-0.15 SD, P<0.01). Univariate and multivariate analyses suggest that the predictive ability of the difference between arm span and standing or sitting height to identify patients with vertebral fractures is limited. We concluded that women, not men, with vertebral fractures may come from a population with short stature. The difference between arm span and standing or sitting height cannot be used to predict vertebral fracture risk.
Article: The Structural and Hormonal Basis of Sex Differences in Peak Appendicular Bone Strength in Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To identify the structural and hormonal basis for the lower incidence of fractures in males than females, sex differences in femoral mid-shaft geometry and breaking strength were studied in growth hormone (GH)-replete and -deficient male and female rats. Sexual dimorphism appeared during growth. Cortical thickening occurred almost entirely by acquisition of bone on the outer (periosteal) surface in males and mainly on the inner (endocortical) surface in females. By 8 months of age, males had 22% greater bone width and 33% greater breaking strength than females. Gonadectomy (Gx) at 6 weeks reduced sex differences in bone width to 7% and strength to 21% by halving periosteal bone formation in males and doubling it in females. Gx had no net effect on the endocortical surface in males but abolished endocortical bone acquisition in females. GH deficiency halved periosteal bone formation and had no net effect on the endocortical surface in males, but abolished bone acquisition on both surfaces in females, leaving males with 17% greater bone width and 44% greater breaking strength than females. Sex hormone deficiency produces greater bone fragility in males than females by removing a stimulator of periosteal growth in males and removing an inhibitor of periosteal growth in females. GH deficiency produces less bone fragility in males than females because males retain androgen-dependent periosteal bone formation while bone acquisition on both surfaces is abolished in females. Thus, periosteal growth is independently and additively stimulated by androgens and GH in males, inhibited by estrogen, and stimulated by GH in females. The hormonal regulation of bone surfaces establishes the amount and spatial distribution of bone and so the sexual dimorphism in its strength.
Article: Sexual Dimorphism in Vertebral Fragility Is More the Result of Gender Differences in Age‐Related Bone Gain Than Bone Loss[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Spine fractures usually occur less commonly in men than in women. To identify the structural basis for this gender difference in vertebral fragility, we studied 1013 healthy subjects (327 men and 686 women) and 76 patients with spine fractures (26 men and 50 women). Bone mineral content (BMC), cross-sectional area (CSA), and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the third lumbar vertebral body (L3) were measured by posteroanterior (PA) and lateral scanning using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In this cross-sectional study, the diminution in peak vertebral body BMC from young adulthood to old age was less in men than in women (6% vs. 27%). This diminution was the net result of two opposing changes occurring concurrently throughout adult life: the removal of bone adjacent to marrow on the inner (endosteal) surface by bone resorption and the deposition of bone on the outer (periosteal) surface by bone formation. For L3, we estimated that men resorbed 3.7 g and deposited 3.1 g, producing a net loss of 0.6 g from young adulthood to old age and women resorbed 3.1 g and deposited only 1.2 g, producing a net loss of 1.9 g. Thus, based on our indirect estimates of periosteal gain and endosteal loss across life, the observed net diminution in BMC during aging was less in men than women because absolute periosteal bone formation was greater in men than women (3.1 g vs. 1.2 g) not because absolute bone resorption was less in men. On the contrary, the absolute amount of bone resorbed was greater in men than women (3.7 g vs. 3.1 g). Periosteal bone formation also increased vertebral body CSA 3-fold more in men than in women, distributing loads onto a larger CSA, so that the load imposed per unit CSA decreased twice as much in men than in women (13% vs. 5%). In men and women with spine fractures, CSA and vBMD were reduced relative to age-matched controls. However, vBMD was no different to the adjusted vBMD in age-matched controls derived assuming controls had no periosteal bone formation during aging. Thus, large amounts of bone are resorbed in men as well as in women, accounting for the age-related increase in spine fractures in both genders. Periosteal bone formation increases CSA and offsets bone loss in both genders but more greatly in men, accounting for the lower incidence of spine fractures in men than in women. We speculate that reduced periosteal bone formation, during growth or aging, may be in part responsible for both reduced vertebral size and reduced vBMD in men and women with spine fractures. Sexual dimorphism in vertebral fragility is more the result of gender differences in age-related bone gain than age-related bone loss.

Generation 5 seems to get it's share of undeserved praise. It's not even the assortment of Pokemon that gets the most undeserved praise. Although I certainly don't like a good number of the Pokemon in this generation, there were a few gems like the Joltik and Elgyem lines that I found to be enough to make up for the rest of them.
Honestly, though, the reason this generation is overrated is the praise the "story" gets. I'm sorry, but the same old boring black-and-white (no pun intended) morality is never interesting, and, let's be honest, most of us play Pokemon for the experience of training a team of monsters to win in fights, not to get engrossed in the story. Just because the story is slightly more interesting than that of previous games (actually, in my opinion, Emerald had a more interesting story) doesn't mean that it's a good story.
This leads me to my final reason the generation is overrated: N. This little turd gets all the fangirls to go insane, yet he really isn't a great character at all. He's just yet another one of those annoying emo hippie characters, and he even has an inanely long and ridiculous name to make him even more of a boring, cliche JRPG character.
As for the order of overrated-ness:
Gen. V> Gen. II> Gen. I> Gen. IV> Gen. III

Aloin nodded back towards Skye in acknowledgement before the girl beside him jerked away suddenly, giving him a wary look. He was slightly surprised by the gesture. The frustration she felt from the results of the battle had vanished and was quickly replaced with all kinds of emotions that flashed quickly across her face. Though in the end she relaxed, she remained cautious. Aloin made it a point not to look directly at the egg she was clutching, as that seemed to be the source of her anxiety.
Hariyama had begun forward when Nika had acted so hostile, but at a sharp gesture from Aloin, it stopped its advance and stayed back, folding its arms over its broad chest. Both of them had been raised to be polite, even with potential enemies, so he found Nika's actions impolitely and inappropriate. While Aloin might have agreed, he would let this one slide. It had been his fault for sneaking up on her, after all.
"Type disadvantage is a common problem for those who focus on a single type." Aloin went on sympathetically, deciding to completely ignore the occurence entirely. "The struggle is to find a way to combat it properly. Once you do, it will prove to be of little problems afterward. But I have to ask; why bug? It is not famed for being the strongest type and is often underrated. Did you choose it because of their general versatality? Or do you just like the way they look?"

Generic Name: Glipizide
What is this medication and its most common uses?Glipizide/metformin is a medicine used along with diet and exercise to help control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Glipizide/metformin is a combination medicine that works in two different ways to lower your blood sugar levels.
What should I know when beginning and continuing on this medication?How does this medication work?
Glipizide helps your body release more insulin. Metformin helps your body respond better to the insulin it makes naturally, decreasing the amount of sugar your liver makes, and decreasing the amount of sugar your intestines absorb. Together, they help to control your blood sugar.
What are the beneficial effects of this medication and when should I begin to have results?
What: Lowering your blood sugar to a normal level may prevent or delay potential complications associated with diabetes, such as blindness, kidney failure, or heart problems. Also, the combination of medicines in glipizide/metformin provides better control of blood sugar compared to either glipizide or metformin alone.
When: Everyone responds differently to treatment, so try to be patient and follow your healthcare provider's directions. It is important that you take glipizide/metformin exactly as your healthcare provider has prescribed.
How do I know it is working?
Check your blood sugar regularly and as per your healthcare provider's recommendations. Your healthcare provider will also do regular blood tests to measure your blood sugar levels and your hemoglobin A1C (which estimates your average blood sugar levels over a 2- to 3-month period). Stay on your prescribed diet and exercise program, as this will also affect the results of your blood tests.
What are the possible side effects of this medication?The following is not a full list of side effects. Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Only your healthcare provider can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking this medication.
Glipizide/metformin can cause a life-threatening condition called lactic acidosis (a build-up of an acid in the blood). This is a medical emergency and must be treated in the hospital. Stop taking glipizide/metformin and call your healthcare provider right away if you feel very weak or tired; have unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, sleepiness or you sleep longer than usual; develop sudden stomach or intestinal problems with nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; feel cold, especially in your arms and legs; experience dizziness or lightheadedness; or have a slow or irregular heartbeat.
You have a higher chance of getting lactic acidosis if you have kidney or liver problems; have heart failure that requires treatment with medicines; drink a lot of alcohol; become dehydrated (lose a large amount of body fluids); have certain tests with dyes or contrast agents that are injected into your body; undergo surgery; or experience a heart attack, severe infection, or stroke.
More common side effects may include: diarrhea, headache, upper respiratory infection, high blood pressure, muscle pain, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, urinary tract infection.
Less common side effects may include:
Increased risk of life-threatening heart problems.
Low blood sugar with symptoms such as shaking, sweating, rapid heartbeat, changes in your vision, hunger, headache, or changes in your mood. Your risk of low blood sugar is higher if you do not eat enough, drink alcohol, or take other medicines to lower your blood sugar.
Who should not take this medication?Do not take glipizide/metformin if you are allergic to it or to any of its ingredients.
Do not take glipizide/metformin if you have kidney problems, or are going to receive an injection of dye or contrast agents for an x-ray procedure.
What should I tell my healthcare provider before I take the first dose of this medication?Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal medications you are taking before beginning treatment with glipizide/metformin. Also, talk to your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, especially if you have a condition known as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency; heart, kidney, or liver problems; drink alcohol frequency; are dehydrated; are going to receive an injection of dye or contrast agents for an x-ray procedure; if you are scheduled for surgery; develop a condition such as a heart attack, severe infection, or stroke; or if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
What is the usual dosage?The information below is based on the dosage guidelines your healthcare provider uses. Depending on your condition and medical history, your healthcare provider may prescribe a different regimen. Do not change the dosage or stop taking your medication without your healthcare provider's approval.
Adults: Your healthcare provider will prescribe the appropriate dose for you based on your condition and previous diabetes medication, and may adjust your dose as needed, until the desired effect is achieved.
If you are elderly or have kidney impairment, your healthcare provider may adjust your dose appropriately.
How should I take this medication?Take glipizide/metformin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not change your dose or stop taking glipizide/metformin without first talking to your healthcare provider.
Take glipizide/metformin with meals to lower your chance of having an upset stomach.
While you are taking glipizide/metformin, stay on your diet and exercise program, and check your blood sugar regularly as directed by your healthcare provider.
What should I avoid while taking this medication?Do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol while taking glipizide/metformin. Alcohol can increase your chance of developing lactic acidosis.

Best Canine Day Spa (2001)
It's a Ruff Life! Dog Daycare and Activity Center
This is the spot for Spot when you can't bear to leave him alone all day or you think he just needs a friend who will sniff his butt. The fact that this daytime-only facility is sparkling clean and odorless is a bonus that greets you at the door. The friendly staff provides a cage-free social opportunity for dogs (the dogs are screened for sociability first), and is serious about the nurturing and loving they dole out. Playrooms have durable tunnels and tug toys, and an outdoor playground includes a "facility" known as Potty Park. Inside, dog-friendly movies are shown in a room with couches, armchairs and beds (not to worry -- if Fido isn't allowed on the bed at home, he's not allowed on the bed at Ruff Life, either). Your pet receives a report card at the end of the day, detailing his behavior. A day (7 a.m. to 6 p.m.) costs $25, a six-hour half day is $17. Discounts are available to frequent visitors.
